The strength of the Maison can be broadly divided into three points.

The first point is the size of the officialdom positions and the number of officials in the current era.

The second point is the family voice.

The third point is the number of people in the family.

The first represents the family's connections and the relationships that can be used, the second represents whether the family will have a helping hand when facing a crisis, and the third represents the family's potential.

Some families are very awesome, a genius overwhelms the world and directly suppresses everyone, but this family can't give birth to children, and in the end no one inherits the family, and the whole family can only be forced to be removed.

The most famous is the Kou family of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Bei's godson, and Liu Feng's original family.

Their family is like this, the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the ancestors of the nine military heroes in the family, Kou Feng's grandfather married the sister of Emperor Huan, the eldest princess at that time, which can be described as extremely brilliant.

Then, Kou Feng and their family passed on for several generations, and when Kou Feng didn't have his father and his grandmother, the family property was directly robbed, and Kou Feng had to rely on Liu Bei's help to survive.

And the number of family members, in addition to the family itself, the second most important thing is the family children.

The original source of the family children is also very simple, most of them are adopted by the family and hidden.

Some are directly slaves for three generations.

Although these people were slaves to the nobles of the family, when they saw the miserable life of other people, they didn't want to betray them.

Being a dog may not have freedom, but you can really survive.

The simplest comparison is that people can't eat meat all year round, but you can be a dog for the family, and you can eat it several times a month.

The contrast is obvious.

Even, some family children are awesome, as long as the family does not suppress it, and appropriately pushes it, they can directly obtain huge benefits.

Therefore, the birth of a child is also a representative of the strength of a family.

Li Kuan looked at these families who went out and knew that the core of their current army on the grassland was the sons of their own families.

Li Kuan wanted to gradually replace the domestic slave trade with employment, and a big reason why those families bought slaves as servants was to cut off their way of cultivating family children.

Zhou Wenli also saw this, and they, the families who got up first, decided to help Li Kuan.

Of course, their choice to help Li Kuan was not a matter of kindness, but more of a suppression of the latecomers.

They are a family, so they understand what a family will do when it swells to a certain extent, they understand the horrors and ugliness of the family, and they understand the carrying capacity of a region for the family.

The last one is the most important for Zhou Wenli and others.

Although they went abroad, they still chose to leave a network in Datang to guard the ancestral ancestral hall, which is the Datang people of their family, which is equivalent to the back road left by the founders abroad.

Therefore, the last thing the family represented by Zhou Wenli wants to see is that after they and others leave, the next batch of families will be born in the power vacuum area left behind, and the branches they left behind are likely to be killed by the other party.

The most important thing is that if they fail to build a country, they will have to face a new family when they come back, which is a fact that they are unwilling to face.

Now that Li Kuan began to prepare for the future and began to restrict the emergence of the next batch of families from the root, they wanted to help.

Li Kuan understood their thoughts, and only complained in his heart that the families had not been drenched in the rain, so they would tear up the umbrellas of the latecomers, so that they could experience what it was like to be drenched in the rain.

"Then how are you going to support me?"

Li Kuan looked at Zhou Wenli with a smile, he was even more curious about this.

Since Zhou Wenli wants to support, he needs to show some sincerity.

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Wenli's mouth, and he said brightly: "Supporting you and supporting Your Majesty are two different behaviors. ”

"Supporting you is a credit to us for giving you a good suggestion and contributing to a big thing."

"Support Your Majesty, then we need to talk to Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about this, you just need to know that we give you a credit."

These words made Li Kuan squint his eyes, thought for a moment, and then understood, and replied with a smile: "If you say so, then I understand, you are going to negotiate a business with Your Majesty, and then go to me to sell it, let me accept your love." ”

Since the other party said the four words of support for His Majesty, Li Kuan guessed their thoughts, these people did not really want to help him.

It's about plotting something else in the matter.

However, Li Kuan is not a person who doesn't know what to do, and said with a smile: "I don't care if the credit is not credited, I only care about one thing, that is, whether your approach is beneficial to the future of Datang, if there is, I will help you, if not, sorry, I may have to make some trouble." ”

Hehe, Zhou Wenli laughed twice and didn't answer.

What he needs is Li Kuan's current attitude.

He was afraid that Li Kuan would be indiscriminately angry and make trouble.

At this time, the two also chatted about the same, Li Kuan and Zhou Wenli separated, Zhang Baihua showed his ability, and the rest of the family spokespersons were very satisfied, and signed a series of teaching agreements with Zhang Baihua.

Li Kuan did not say anything about this.

Gunpowder and explosives were not something he had to master.

It's okay to secretly control some self-preservation, and to master it on a large scale, he can only say that he still wants to live for two more years.

After going back, Li Kuan's life returned to calm again, eating and drinking every day, exercising and exercising, occasionally riding a horse, accompanied by Fang Yu, to watch the ranch to see how the ranch was cultivated and constructed.

Life can be said to be leisurely and comfortable.

This life lasted until the end of the fourth year of Zhenguan.

As soon as the Great Dynasty Meeting ended, Li Kuan received a new law and an order from the Central Committee of the Tang Dynasty.

Tang people's lives are expensive, and buying and selling are not allowed.

The government cracked down on human trafficking, and anyone who traffickers abducted and sold Tang people was caught and sentenced to death.

Anyone who dares to buy Tang people and promote the human trafficking of Tang people will be sentenced to a felony.

There is only one place where human trafficking can take place, and that is the Datang official.

And the official business of the Tang Dynasty is only foreigners.

At the same time, Li Shimin also advised the families and people who had bought human trafficking to quickly release the Datang population they had purchased and give them freedom.

If not, he will be punished by heaven, and what a great sin it is to buy and sell his fellow people.

After Li Kuan got the news, the whole person was stunned, is Li Shimin crazy? Empty words to persuade everyone to give up the population that they once bought?

That's all money.

What happened next proved that Li Shimin was not crazy.

The five surnames and Qiwang took the lead in burning all the deeds of sale in the family in public.

The rest of the family followed suit, burned all the deeds of sale in the family, and let the Tang officials enter the family to count the hidden households.

This behavior stunned Li Kuan.

Li Kuan couldn't help but sigh that the world had changed, and it became unrecognizable.

"The family and Li Shimin must have reached some kind of agreement, but why would they cooperate with Li Shimin to do such a thing?"

"These hidden households are all the people of their own clan who need to go out to build a country, and they are a bit stupid to release them for no reason?"

"However, the family can exist for so many years, it is impossible to be a fool."

Li Kuan was really confused.

In the holy decree issued later, this matter really has a credit to him Li Kuan.

Just like Zhou Wenli said.

"It's like I'm having some deal with the family."

Li Kuan couldn't help but complain.

I recommended it today.

Although I really want to explode more, come to tens of thousands of words.

But something happened to the company, and I usually rested for my leader, and I couldn't take a break from work, and it was painful.

In addition, I have to get up early, so I can only say, good night everyone.
