Changan

The emperor has to protect Xie Zhan when he dies, and the family can't send this name certificate.

This made Pei and the others uncomfortable, because they received the letter that the family's affairs in Pingzhou were progressing well. Xie Zhan didn't die, wouldn't it make Governor Lu feel that they were not reliable?

For Wang Yun and other families that are not progressing well, it doesn't matter. The progress of several of them in Pingzhou has been very slow.

Pingzhou's attitude is too cold, and the requirements for them are too harsh! You must know that after joining Pingzhou, they are not contributing! Is it necessary to set such a high threshold?

This Lu Songli has not yet become the lord of the world, so he doesn't look at them at all, which is really arrogant.

On this day, Sang Baiqing once again feasted the family in the mansion.

Among the people attending the meeting, some looked relaxed, and some looked solemn.

"Your Pei clan is going well in Pingzhou?" Wang Yun asked Pei Zheng unhappily.

Pei Zheng asked him rhetorically, "You are so angry, why, is the Wang family very unhappy in Pingzhou?" ”

Wang Yun snorted.

Pei Zheng smiled, unimpressed by Wang Yun's attitude, he knew that the Wang family had hit a wall in Pingzhou.

But he felt that the Wang family and a few others deserved it, and he was really optimistic about Pingzhou, so he didn't care about the gains and losses. After all, if Pingzhou achieves the final victory, under the general trend, the entire Dali will have to be reshuffled. It is difficult for the family to completely preserve it, but as long as it does not damage the foundation, it will slowly develop in the new dynasty.

He has studied Pingzhou and is very optimistic about Pingzhou. The reason why Pingzhou is now restricting the family that has voted for the past, he probably guessed a point, after Pingzhou laid down the country, with the ability of Pingzhou think tank or Lu Songli's ability to develop the whole country to the extreme, the gain part, and he didn't want others to take more, that was normal.

After everyone arrived, Sang Baiqing also invited a guest in, this person was none other than Fan Yang.

Wang Yun and the others were in a bad mood, and when they saw him, they asked unceremoniously, "Fan Yang, why are you here, where is your family's Governor Xie Dadu?" ”

The people present are all from major families, either the head of the family or the young master, he Xie Zhan didn't come in person, but let Fan Yang under his command come over, did he look down on them?

Fan Yang forgive, "Patriarch Wang Shao forgives, most of our governors are sick and can't go out, so I asked me to come over and say hello to everyone." ”

Yes, Xie Zhan is still calling sick.

At this time, Sang Baiqing asked, "I heard that you came this time, did Xie Zhan have anything to say for you to bring to us?" ”

Fan Yang arched his hand and said, "Lord Sang, the patriarchs and young patriarchs, it's like this. Before, most of us were thinking about the love of everyone as a family, and we never took action against you. Now that most of our governors are in trouble, please be merciful. ”

"What I said, Xie Zhan hasn't made a move yet, who is the one who 'clears the land and searches the hidden households'?" Wang Yun scoffed.

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people present were not good-looking. Because Xie Zhan did this, the loss to the family was huge, the hidden population was gone, and he had to pay a lot of taxes every year.

The family is a big family, a big business, and a hegemon in the place.

Xie Zhan's whole thing is equivalent to shrinking their assets by two or three percent.

Later, the value of silver depreciated, and the large amount of silver stored in their homes depreciated with it, and their assets shrank by two percent.

Xie Zhan and Lu Songli each came back and forth, so that their family's life was not easy.

"Most of us have recognized this matter, but he is also doing it for the sake of Da Li, your family is dependent on Da Li to survive, you should know the truth that 'the skin does not exist, and the hair is attached'."

"In fact, most of our governors have more powerful means, because they didn't do it because they took into account the feelings of the same family. If you don't believe me, look—" Fan Yang handed out a piece of paper from his bosom for everyone present to circulate.

The person closest to Fan Yang was Li Jing, he took a look, and after reading it, his face changed, and then handed it to the next one.

The others circulated it, and their faces were ugly.

Wang Yun didn't know why, so he took it and took a look, only to see that the note said: To solve the family's disease, the only way to solve the family's illness is to take the imperial examination and appoint the children of the poor family.

He has a chill on his body, what a vicious scheme!

Fan Yang was very satisfied with the reactions of the people present, and after everyone had circulated it, he asked, "Do you know where this sentence came from?" ”

Everyone: Isn't this the way Xie Zhan came up with to deal with them? It's just not working.

Fan Yang didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said directly, "These words came from the mouth of Pingzhou Governor Lu Songli. ”

Everyone present gasped, and from this sentence, they felt the deep malice of the speaker.

Hearing this, Wang Yun sneered, "No wonder." ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, most of us have said that the dirty dispute between him and you is an infighting of political disagreement, at least he has not thought of using such a plan to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle against the family. And Pingzhou is already quietly cultivating the children of the poor family. ”

"Pingzhou has this foundation, not to mention the cheap paper invented in Pingzhou, let's just say that Pingzhou Academy, Pingzhou's Wanshulou, is not worse than the library pavilion in everyone's house, right?" Fan Yang said faintly.

Fan Yang's meaning is very straightforward, that is, Pingzhou has been silently stabbing everyone here.

Fan Yang's words made the faces of everyone present look ugly.

The reason why their family can produce many talents and prosper is that the family monopolizes knowledge.

Pingzhou does this, will gradually disintegrate the family A hundred years later, Dali is full of scholars, what advantages does their family have?

Fan Yang just came to pass the word, and after the transmission, he was going to say goodbye and leave the venue to the people present.

Before leaving, he finally said, "Everyone, Pingzhou can't accommodate the family. ”

Take advantage of the fact that Dali still has a chance, and it has not yet reached the point where it is difficult to return, so let's stop fighting and work together to help Dali defeat Pingzhou, then all the families can continue to play music and dance, and it may even go to the next level.

He didn't say the latter sentence explicitly, but none of the people present were fools, and of course they understood the benefits of helping Dali exterminate Pingzhou.

After Fan Yang left, it didn't take long for them to disperse, there was no way, the news thrown out by Xie Zhan was too explosive, and they had to go back and discuss with the elites of the clan in the long run.

Wang Yun still stopped Pei Zheng, "Lu Songli has the heart to destroy the family, and his heart can be punished." Are your Pei family still optimistic about Pingzhou and serve Pingzhou? ”

Pei Zheng sighed, "How can it be, this matter is too big today, and the clan elders need to work together and brainstorm before making a decision." ”

Wang Yun glanced at him deeply, and Pei Zheng smiled lightly.

After the two sides separated, Pei Zheng turned around and boarded the carriage, and after sitting down, he sighed.

Today's Pingzhou, according to the land of the five states, in fact, Qingzhou has not been completely defeated yet, but in Pei Zheng's opinion, isn't it sooner or later?

In short, Pingzhou has risen with an unstoppable momentum, and Dali who occupies seven states is evenly matched.

In Pei Zheng's view, Pingzhou's request is excessive, but it is not excessive.

If it is Pingzhou to achieve the final victory. Pingzhou's plan to 'take the imperial examination and appoint the children of the Hanmen' will make the family, in the old dynasty, the emperor also used the way of balance to balance the family, Pingzhou is against the family, isn't it normal?

It's a pity that the situation of this meeting is not the same as that of the Three Kingdoms Dingli in the late Han Dynasty, and the family at that time could invest in many ways, such as the Zhuge family, Zhuge Birthday to Wei, Zhuge to Wu, Zhuge to Han.

But at present, in the entire Central Plains, there are three major forces, Dali, Pingzhou and Xianbei.

It is impossible for them to vote for Xianbei, so they can only choose between Dali and Pingzhou.

And now it has come to a two-choice situation, and they are not allowed to bet on both sides. Another point is that at this time, it is time to place bets, and they are not allowed to waver when they buy and leave.

It's time to decide.

Pei Zheng thinks so, and others think so too.

Since then, several major families of Dali have begun to choose their respective camps.
