Qian Yuanqi frowned: "Grandpa, my Qian family has been guarding themselves and abiding by their duties for more than 100 years since Deng Wangyu descended to the Song Dynasty, after the Qi army captured Hangzhou, grandpa not only came forward to appease the people of Yuhang and Lin'an, but also offered grain and grass to the Qi army's sailors. ”

The old man scolded: "Presumptuous, you dare to call the official family's holy name." ”

This old man's name is Qian Xianli, and he is the contemporary head of the Qian family.

Although the Qian family has been low-key in recent years, it does not mean that they are down, since Song Taizu has been so far, the number of people who have entered the Qian family as officials is not less than 100.

This is not counting the poor students sponsored by the Qian family, as well as those who are related to the deceased, otherwise it will only be more.

Qian Yuanqi hurriedly apologized: "My grandson Meng Lang is a while, and he will not do it again in the future." ”

In desperation, I had to stay in the inn temporarily.

Xie Ding picked up a handkerchief and wiped the water stains on his hands, and motioned, "Brother Deping, please have tea." ”

In other words, when Zhao Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty, it was the weakest period of the gate valve family.

This is almost clear, if he still can't hear it, then the head of the family all these years will be in vain.

Outside the Zhangting Station, Qian Yuanqi supported Qian Xianli and stood quietly in front of the door of the pavilion.

But Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help it, because he didn't win the country properly, and he came to power through a coup d'état, and he had to make compromises with the interest groups of the Later Zhou.

Xie Ding's tone was flat, but the killing intent revealed in his words made Shen Heng fall into an ice cellar, and his hands and feet were cold.

Holding together for warmth is an inevitable move for people in society.

Qian Xianli raised his head, looked at the scorching sun, and said with emotion: "Today is different from the past, when the Zhao and Song dynasties were first built, there were many small countries, and the ancestor Deng Wangyu was a minister to Zhao Song and Song Nagong, and paid tribute at the age of the year, first sent troops to assist Zhao Song to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty, and then brought Wu Yue to return to the 13 states and 86 counties of the army, this friendship is not insignificant, no matter what the purpose of the Song Taizu is, he has to treat my Qian family well." ”

Shen Heng smiled bitterly: "What you said is light, I can't even sleep well during this time." Who doesn't know that today's official family is a killing star, since the incident, everywhere has killed a lot of heads, the Wang family said no, it is said that there is no one to worship even the ancestral hall now. ”

Xie Ding stroked his beard and smiled: "Don't worry, since the official family sent me to fight in the front, they will naturally give enough time." ”

Han Zhen was surprised with his soldiers, but every time he used a strategy, he was overwhelmed by the general momentum.

Qian Xianli smiled with satisfaction.

Qian Xianli shook his head and took the opportunity to teach: "You remember, when you do things, you either don't do it, or you do it in one go." Compared with Meng Chang, Li Yu and others, the ancestor Deng Wangyu is much more clever, if he wants to fight, he will fight to the end, and if he wants to fall, he will drop neatly, cowering, and hesitation is a big taboo. ”

Shen Heng arched his hand, then got up and left.

Qian Yuanqi could only suppress the doubts in his heart and kept silent.

Qian Xianli sighed and said faintly: "Today's officials are violent and decisive, and this time they went south to salute first and then soldier. If we don't know how to do it, I'm afraid that we will raise the butcher's knife, follow the example of the old Huangchao, and wash the south in blood. ”

Xie Ding, Sun Fu, Wu Min, Zhao Ting, Huang Shang, etc., grabbed a lot of them.

"This ......"

Someone has already rushed ahead of Qian Xianli and arrived in Hangzhou.

"The Qian family is a model ...... family"

Xie Ding stretched out three fingers: "Didn't Brother Deping let me know the truth, and today I will tell you plainly, three thousand acres of land, this is the bottom line of the official family." Of course, the official family is not a clever grabber, and the imperial court will buy the excess land at the market price. In addition, the black serfs, no matter where you hide them, release them all. ”

Xie Ding said word by word: "You can do business, you can enter the office, but you can't touch the land." ”

……

The two are both friends and relatives, and according to their seniority, Xie Ding should call him a cousin.

"Yes."

……

Shen Heng was a little hairy when he was looked at, and couldn't help but ask.

Shen Heng controlled the trembling means, picked up the teacup and took a big sip.

Land is the most direct means for the family to control the people.

But without exception, they were all sent away by Xie Ding's ill health.

If a single family is indeed a mantis arm in front of the imperial court, but the power gathered in the entire south, even the official family has to weigh it.

Shen Heng said helplessly: "The lives of hundreds of people in the Shen family have fallen on my shoulders, how can I not be in a hurry?" ”

Seeing that he was really anxious, Xie Ding restrained his smile and said: "It's not that the official family doesn't allow the family to exist, but they have to abide by the rules." ”

The root lies in land, and Zhao Song did not inhibit land annexation, and even adopted a laissez-faire posture.

Qian Yuanqi swallowed his spittle, and said sneeringly: "Aren't the officials afraid of causing public resentment to boil and the world is in chaos?" ”

"Come on."

In the next few days, there were many family gate valves coming to Hangzhou.

It's normal to make mistakes, who hasn't made mistakes?

But if you are wrong, you must admit it, and if you admit it, you must change it, which is the Qian family's consistent education method.

"What do you mean, Brother Shouqi?"

There are many people living there, and it is inevitable to get together.

Qian Yuanqi didn't think so, and retorted: "Is Grandpa too pessimistic, there are many families in the south, if you force us to wait, the official family will not be comfortable." ”

Gollum!

Xie Ding said in a deep voice: "You and I are in-laws, I should call you uncle according to my generation, I naturally don't want anything to happen to the Shen family." There are some words that I will not admit when I leave this door. ”

These officials were loyal to Han Zhen and also to Daqi, but this did not conflict with fighting for themselves and the interests of the south.

Yes, who dares to oppose it, and who has the ability to oppose it?

……

Shen Heng nodded again and again: "My province, today's words will never pass through the ears of a third person, Brother Shouqi, please say." ”

As soon as the hot tea was in his mouth, he immediately spit it out again.

"The wind is going to blow."

Shen Heng said with a solemn face.

Hearing this, a trace of resentment flashed in Qian Yuanqi's eyes.

"The Qi Army Naval Division has reorganized the Song Army under Wang Yuan half a month ago, but it has not gone west to Xiangyang for a long time, don't you understand?"

The official family is going to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle!

The earth emperor and an idle prince, fools know who to choose.

Even if Han Zhen started from Shandong in the north and appointed a large number of officials in Shandong, there are many southerners in the court now.

Since then, the voice of southern officials in the court has become more and more important.

At that time, if Wang Qin could break the rules set by Song Taizu and enter the cabinet as the prime minister, it would be the result of the efforts of the entire southern gate valve family.

Qian Yuanqi nodded.

Shen Heng's face was embarrassed, and he bargained: "Three thousand mu is too little, can Brother Shouqi discuss with His Majesty?" ”

"The grandson naturally knows."

Similarly, it is normal for officials in Shuzhong, such as Yuwen Xuzhong and He Li, to seek benefits for the people and scholars of Shu without harming the interests of the country.

"Naturally, it is a loss-making business."

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Qian Xianli's eyes.

The ancestors of the Yu family originated from the two Han Dynasty and went through six dynasties without falling.

The township party, whether in the people or in the court, will involuntarily gather into a force.

This is the potential.

First, it is to vigorously promote the imperial examination system, support the scholars of the poor family, and dilute the influence of the gate valve family in the court.

After a while, two cups of fragrant tea appeared on the tea table.

The surname of the person who spoke was Yu, and it was Huiji Yu, a large family in Jiangdong during the Six Dynasties, and one of the four surnames of Huiji.

Shen Heng swallowed his saliva, and a storm set off in his heart.

"What rules?"

Xie Ding's hands are like weaving, and a set of tea-ordering actions are smooth and beautiful.

Shen Heng urged.

Without land, wealth and power are nothing more than castles in the air, shattered at the touch of a button.

Qian Xianli's rhetorical question made Qian Yuanqi speechless.

"Farewell, I'll set up a banquet later, you and I have a good get-together."

Qian Yuanqi nodded solemnly and responded: "Grandpa, I wrote it down." ”

"I haven't seen you for a few years, how can Brother Deping's Qi cultivation kung fu regress so much." Xie Ding quipped.

At this moment, there are more than a dozen people sitting in the elegantly decorated room.

At this time, even if it really reaches the point of raising the butcher's knife and washing the south in blood, the world will not be chaotic.

Xie Ding waved his hand: "The family doesn't speak two words." ”

Xie Ding soothed: "The official family is a little stronger, but he is not an unreasonable person. ”

However, Qian Xianli looked as usual, and said with a smile: "Since Xie Xianggong is sick, the old man will not bother and leave." ”

"Grandpa means ......"

Han Zhen's southern hunting is really a common thing in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of the southern family, it is full of mountains and buildings.

Second, it is a policy of emphasizing the central government over the local government, and mobilizing the strength of the whole country to support a city.

"Who dares to mess around?"

"Time has passed, and my Qian family is still prosperous, but where are the descendants of Meng Chang and Li Yu now?"

In the courtyard in the southeast, Xie Ding and a middle-aged scribe sat under a locust tree, enjoying a cool cup of tea.

After getting into the carriage, Qian Yuanqi lowered his voice and said: "The head of the Shen family left in a hurry, obviously seeing Xie Xiang, and now he said that he didn't see the guest, what does this mean?" ”

Land is the bottom line of the official family, whoever steps on it will die!

At this moment, an accompanying cabinet supplement came and reported: "Xianggong, Qian Xianli of the Qian family is here, and he asks to see him outside the pavilion." ”

His grandson is just a middle-aged man, and his only strength is to listen to persuasion.

took out a handkerchief and wiped the tea on his beard, Shen Heng couldn't care about the gaffe, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Brother Shouqi, I will repair a letter and hand over the fields at home to the government." ”

Then, he slowly closed his eyes and lay down on the soft couch, as if he had fallen asleep.

The essence of this world is, in the end, who has the biggest fist and who is reasonable.

Since he was in Qingzhou, he has been under the command of the official family, so he knows it very well in his heart.

Shen Heng's expression changed greatly, and the words that he originally blurted out were swallowed back raw.

Some families are still waiting, while others have already left.

The rectifier replied and turned to leave.

"Hmm."

Because the scheme can be broken, and the general trend cannot be violated.

Qian Yuanqi was shocked.

Qian Xianli said without a beginning and an end, and ordered: "Go to the inn." ”

In fact, after the turbulent times at the end of the Tang Dynasty and the massacre of Huangchao, the once glorious Guanlong, Shandong, and Jiangzuo groups collapsed one after another, and the family of gate valves in the south has not yet grown.

This person's name is Shen Heng, and he is the grandson of Shen Kuo.

I have an army in hand, and I have it in the world.

These people who are attached to the family gate are usually farmers, but once they reach a special period, they are transformed, and after being armed, they are tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers!

And once they lose their land, will the people listen to them?

Seeing this, Xie Ding looked at him strangely.

"The official family plans to pick a few unlucky eggs and make an example of them."

With that, Qian Xianli turned around and walked towards the carriage.

In order to suppress the gate valve family, Zhao Song took two countermeasures.

Qian Xianli propped up the recliner and stood up with difficulty: "It's not much worse to calculate the hour, Xie Shouqi's face is always to be given, prepare the car, and go to Hangzhou." ”

Qian Xianli asked, "Do you know that you can ask to be given the king of Zhelan?" ”

After ascending the throne, in order to take the south without blood, he compromised with the Qian family and other families, which led to the originally weak southern group rapidly becoming bigger.

For a while, everyone present spoke one after another, saying beautiful words one after another, and the top hat was put on Qian Xianli's head.

This is the confidence of the emperor immediately.

However, these two countermeasures both treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.

Xie Ding pointed in the direction of Xixing Town, and said expressionlessly: "Brother Deping, the sailor has not left Hangzhou all along, and the main force of the Xuzhou Army is still there." ”

He knew, he knew, the official family was really the reincarnation of the killing star, but the heads of people would be killed everywhere.

"I usually respect Qian Wen the most, can you ignore us."

"But today's official family is the emperor immediately, and he conquered the south by force. A few months ago, he went north to invade gold, and he won every battle, and it was the time when he was in high spirits, how could he compromise with the family gatekeeper. This time, it will be difficult for us to recover the prestige of Yunzhou to the south. ”

First seize Yunzhou, and then attack the Southern Song Dynasty, one is a strategic need, and the other is that once Yunzhou is captured, it can be coerced to break the Jin army, recover the power of Yunzhou, rule over the south, and suppress the family gatekeeper.

Xie Ding wrote lightly: "If you don't see it, just say that the official is sick." ”

Zhangting Station.

Qian Xianli asked again: "Eight generations of the family business and the land of the three mansions in exchange for a hereditary Zhelan king, do you make a profit or a loss?" ”

"Qian Weng, you are highly respected, and now Xie Xiang's person is not good, please uphold justice."

Qian Yuanqi hurriedly stepped forward to help, and persuaded him: "Last year, there was a serious illness, and Grandpa didn't get better, so let my father go on Grandpa's behalf." ”

Qian Xianli smiled and said: "Even you know the truth, but do you know it?" ”

The middle-aged scribe was absent-minded, and he didn't look at the tea, and said worriedly: "Brother Shouqi, you and I are in the same breath, don't talk about gossip, you have a thorough understanding, and I have a number in my heart." ”

After a short time, several carriages drove out of the manor and headed straight for the county seat of Hangzhou.

Without control over the people, is the family gate valve still the family door valve?

Therefore, land is the foundation of a family, and wealth and power are built on it.

If you can listen to persuasion, you are a good child.

"Hmm."

Seeing his back as he left, Xie Ding picked up the teacup and blew on the hot air, taking a sip.

"My father's weight is not enough."

After a while, a supplementary officer strode over and arched his hand: "Xie Xianggong is in poor health and needs to recuperate, and he will not see visitors for the time being." ”

Qian Xianli is about to become a refinement, where will he eat this set, and laughed at himself: "The old clumsy is old, the tinnitus is dazzling, and the people who are about to enter the soil can't squeeze two taels of oil when they throw it into the pot, and they can't be the master at night, how can they be the master for everyone." Besides, it is a good thing for the official family to hunt in the south, and the official family is comfortable to serve, and it is impossible to say that it can soar into the sky like the Ma family. ”

When the words fell, everyone's expressions were different.
