The Zhao army's capture of Helong and the unification of the north seem to be unstoppable.

The families of Liangdi, such as the Jia family, the Duan family, the Dong family, the Han family, the Ma family, the Yan family, the Cui family, the Li family, etc., have been entrenched in the northwest since ancient times, or the famous families who moved to the northwest after the Yongjia Rebellion have sent their own descendants, or their heads of families to visit Shi Min in person, in order to show their sincere attachment.

For these families at both ends of the first rat, it is not impossible to accept them.

There is an old saying that there are only thousand-year-old families, not thousand-year-old dynasties! Throughout the ages, it is better than that.

These families have an incomparably deep heritage, through the accumulation of more than ten generations, or dozens of generations, their power is intertwined, all over the world, and even you don't know how many branches there are!

And the family, most of them are eunuchs, they are different from the nobles of the ancient pre-Qin era.

The aristocracy of the ancient era is still somewhat similar to the gate valve family since the Wei and Jin dynasties, but it is very different in nature.

Gate lords are not hereditary, but actually hereditary, and there are people who have been officials for generations, and then control a large amount of land.

The aristocracy was hereditary, held a large amount of land, and then had people as officials for generations.

Land annexation is an important feature of the gate valve family.

In short, you have nothing and become an aristocrat through rebellion, imperial examinations, sycophants, and the aristocracy is characterized by the fact that his land is divided by the ruler and has a certain right and sovereignty over his land. Nobles possessed titles or titles, represented by individuals.

The gate lord is a group, a group of people who are tied by blood or social communication, he is not fighting alone, he is a group of people fighting, they can have no titles, but they have resources and sociality.

For example, Shi Min, whose ancestors were tooth generals for generations, and small families did not make a career until his father Shi Zhan worshiped General Zuo Jiji. The accumulation of the second is not a family gate, it can only be regarded as a "nouveau riche" type of aristocracy, after all, the Shi family does not have that inheritance, and there is no such heritage.

For example, the Ma family in Liangzhou, the Ma family has produced several famous people in the world, entrenched in Liangzhou for many years, and many of the children of the family have served in the court or in the local government, which belongs to the most typical family gate valve.

For example, the Fubo generals Ma Yuan and Ma Teng of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Shu Han general Ma Chao during the Three Kingdoms all belonged to the Ma clan in Liangzhou.

Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, the family has gradually become stronger, and even has the ability to influence the current situation and control the general trend of the world. Not to mention anything else, just in the Three Kingdoms, the Nanyang Zhuge family, Wei Shu and Wu were three-legged, and there were people from the Zhuge family who served as high-ranking officials.

Thanks to Cao Wei's nine-product Zhongzheng system, the Jin Dynasty inherited it, because it was not right, and it still relied more on the strong support of various gate valve families, so the Jin Dynasty gave the family door valve the soil for survival.

It can be said that without the support of the family gatekeepers, the imperial court could not be sustained.

"Please rest assured. Your kindness would have been conveyed to the king, and he would have been able to assure you that as long as you were in your place, kept to yourself, and no longer funded the puppet Liang court and aided in the abuse, the king would not be guilty of the past! Shi Min is open and honest.

The people of the family represented by Yan Zhong have said that they will not rebel.

Yan Zhong lowered his hand and said: "General, the imperial court intends to pacify Helong, sweep away Zhang Liang, and unify the north. The Yan clan will donate 300,000 taels of silver, 5 baht and 1 million yuan as military expenses, and at the same time, 6,000 stone of grain will be sent to the army of the imperial court free of charge! I hope the general will laugh at it! ”

Hearing this, Shi Min was overjoyed and said, "Hahaha! Good! Yan's kindness, the general has understood it! Ben will definitely write to the king, and say a few good words for the lord and your Yan family! ”

"There's General Lao!"

Yan Zhong is so uplifted, it is really an unexpected joy.

The representatives of the Liangzhou clan present saw that Yan Zhong was the first to eat the crab, and they were not to be outdone, and donated money and food one after another, ranging from five or six thousand stones at the most, to one thousand stones at the least, and so on. They all wanted to please their new master.

In this regard, Shi Min also reciprocated the favor and invited various family lords to send their own children to serve in the army, such as some positions in the army, school clerks, and chief bookkeepers, who were not in danger.

Shi Min is now the Duke of Wei and the general, if he can follow his side, those who have the ability must be valued, this is something that many people dream of, but can't ask for!

This is originally a "win-win" thing that is mutually beneficial, just like the relationship between Zhang Jun, the king of Liang, and the gate valve family in the northwest, Shi Min is also creating a big net, a big net that shrouds the interests of Liangdi.

If Shi Min wants to be on top, he can't do without the strong support of these family door valves!

After sending off the representatives of these families, Shi Min met with the representatives of the Hu people in Liangdi.

These Hu people include nomadic peoples such as the Lushuihu, Qiang, Xianbei, and Xiongnu. The Xiliang area, since ancient times, is the Qiang people the most, but it is a pity that after the Wuhu successively entered the Central Plains, the Qiang people's power was dispersed, and the scope of activities spread throughout the northern part of the Chinese land, that is, the area north of the Yellow River.

Therefore, Xiliang, which originally belonged to the sphere of influence of the Han and Qiang people, is now a mixture of fish and dragons, mainly Han people, and the rest of the Hu people are mixed together and compete with each other.

Among these Hu people, Lu Shuihu is the most powerful, Lu Shuihu has been active in the northwest of China since the end of the Han Dynasty, the nomadic people, the ethnic origin is complex, both Xiongnu, Yue, and in the evolution of the ethnic absorption of the Qian, Qiang and even Han tribes, so it has the characteristics of both Caucasian and yellow people, and its core component is believed to be derived from the Shang Dynasty Lu Fang.

Among these Hu people who came to visit, Shi Min took a look at Lu Polou, Fuqu Anda and Bald Aid.

In the land of Liangzhou, if Shi Min remembers correctly, there have been five regimes in Liangzhou in history, namely Qianliang, Houliang, Southern Liang, Northern Liang and Western Liang.

Among them, the front Liang was established by the Zhang family, and the back Liang was established by Lu Guang, the son of Lu Polou in front of him.

It is worth mentioning that Lü Guang is a member of the Luoyang Di tribe, but the Hu and Han are of mixed blood, and the Lü Guang family is the clansman of the Western Han Dynasty Empress Lü Pheasant (so the Lü Guang family is the crystallization of the fusion of the Han and Di people), and the former Qin lord Fu Jian is the same clan and fellow villager.

Lü Guang's father was Lü Polou, a former Qin founding minister.

If you follow the trend of historical development, Lu Polou will serve under Pu Hong in the future, and then step by step, he will become the commander of the former Qin.

The two people, Bald Aid and Fuquan Anda, are the ancestors of the founders of the Northern Liang and Southern Liang dynasties, respectively.

As for Xiliang, it was founded by a pure Han Chinese, and it is said to have been established by Li Hui, a descendant of Li Guang.

There is also a Beiliang, which is said to be established by the Han Duan Ye, this statement cannot be verified, but Shi Min, the representative of the Duan clan, has seen it.

The Duan clan originated in the generation of Duan Cheng, a famous general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, who quelled the Qiang rebellion for decades, and since then, there has been no idea of the Qiang tribe to fight the Han Dynasty.

It's a pity that just like the absence of the Xiongnu and the Qiang people, there is no Qiang people, other ethnic groups such as Xianbei and other ethnic groups entered the Central Plains in a big way, and the Wuhu chaos broke out, which was from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, experienced the Three Kingdoms era, and only happened in the Jin Dynasty, and during the Eastern Han Dynasty, as the absolute hero who eliminated the entire Qiang rebellion, Duan Cheng, finally died in the prison of the capital, and the crime was the eunuch party.

The situation in Liangdi was very chaotic, and the forces of all parties were complicated, and Shi Min did not dare to guarantee that he could solve these thorny problems.
