Chapter 306 Family Countermeasures
"Gentlemen, we can't interfere with the appointment or dismissal of this official, but the matter referred to by the secretary is related to the inheritance of our family, so we must not be careless. Do you have any proper suggestions?"
In a hall in the Jufu Building, dozens of family owners from all over Jingzhou are gathering here at this moment to discuss the contribution of books. It has been more than ten days since Liu Qi issued the order, and in these ten days, except for Xiangyang and several close families who have contributed books to Liu Qi, all other families are silent.
"The patriarch Wang is right. At this time, we can't be cautious about the inheritance of the family. If we hand over these books, how can our family gain a foothold? Is the professor in this college the way to govern the country? Let these civilians study with the children of our family. Isn't it part of the respect and inferiority, the people's agriculture, industry and commerce? This is an unchanging etiquette. How can it be said to be abolished?
Since Wang Can became the governor of Wuling a few days ago, the status of the Wang family in Jingzhou has risen, and the families in various counties have begun to show their goodwill to the Wang family.
"That's what I said, but just a few days after the eldest son took office, the new official took office. If I wait for this matter perfunctorily, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate?"
The patriarch of the Zhao family frowned and said that he had seen Liu Qi's cruel methods. A family like the Cai family was uprooted by Liu Qi, not to mention their families.
"Although this is not bad, if it is related to the foundation of our family's life at this time, and the eldest son's move is not to test the reaction of our family. If we retreat from this matter, I'm afraid that we can only become the meat on the board. Some time ago, the eldest son killed dozens of families at once. If I can't wait together, I'm afraid I will be defeated by the eldest son sooner or later.
Another head of the family was a little worried. Liu Qi killed dozens of families, including the Cai family, which obviously made him feel afraid. In front of the Cai family, their families were nothing at all.
As soon as the man finished speaking, he heard a cold hum. Everyone couldn't help turning their heads and looking over. They saw a middle-aged man in a blue robe talking and laughing with a teacup in his hand. It seemed that he did not pay attention to the matter of copying the book.
"Well, that's because they have colluded with foreign enemies for a long time. If they are loyal to the eldest son, how will there be today's change? Isn't it just a few books? Will these civilians govern the country after reading these books? The one in our family is not inherited for decades. In fact, these ordinary people can compare with the background of the family.
Seeing the middle-aged face, everyone was shocked. This person was Chen Xuan, the patriarch of the Jiangxia Chen family. Although the Chen family is low-key, it is also a first-class family in Jingzhou. The prestige in Jingzhou is second only to the Pang family and the Kai family.
Seeing Chen Xuan speak, everyone couldn't help but be silent. For a moment, everyone in the hall bowed their heads and meditated.
The first to speak, Wang Lan, the patriarch of the Wang family, looked a little gloomy, but it was only for a moment, and then it returned to normal, but the man's gaze at Chen Xuan became intriguing.
Today's party was initiated by him. The people in the hall have some status in Jingzhou, but their status is not as big as Ponzi. He did this to continue Wang Can as the governor of Wuling, attract these families, tie up these families with the Wang family, and let these families look at the Wang family in Jingzhou in the future. As long as this matter is done, not to mention the Pang family, even today's Jingzhou Mu Liu Qi will let him be the three of them, and dare not dare to The Wang family is too rude.
The prosperity of the Wang family only began with Wang Can's grandfather. At that time, Wang Can's grandfather was a lieutenant, and Wang Can's father was Sikong, and the Wang family also took the opportunity to rise. Now that Wang Can has become the invisible Taishou, in his opinion, the time has come for the rise of the Wang family. At this time, he had already told Wang Can that Wang Can did not object or stop him, but only said that he would consider it for two days.
"Although what Chief Chen said is reasonable, this college has to guard against it. Are there still few people who have risen among civilians in recent years? A few days ago, most of the officials appointed by the eldest son were the sons of the poor family. Although the eldest son had not yet taken action against the sons of the family among the officials in Jingzhou, the sons of these poor families all had heavy responsibilities. Xu Shu was not also the son of the poor family, but jumped into the governor. Zhao Lei was not the same as Pingbu Qingyun, only a few. Yue time has achieved Taishou. Then Wei Yan, Ma Liang and others are not the children of a poor family. Isn't they also the high power of the children of my family?
The patriarch of the Xie clan, who had not spoken at this time, suddenly stood up and looked at the crowd. He looked at the crowd again and saw indignation on everyone's face. The patriarch of the Xie clan spoke again.
"Now the poor family in Jingzhou is already very powerful. If it is to let this college weaken the influence of our family, how can our family inherit it in Jingzhou?"
Books are originally a means for the family to recruit talents. Use these books to recruit talents and make these talents closely connected with the family. Even if there are any achievements in the future, these families will rise.
glanced at the crowd and saw that everyone had an indignation on their faces. They all nodded in agreement, but Chen Xuan, the patriarch of the Chen family, shook his head and sighed.
The Chen family controls the transportation of salt in Jingzhou, which can be said to control the fate of Jingzhou, which makes the Chen family's status in Jingzhou suddenly improve, but it also makes Chen Xuan more and more careful. He knows how important salt is to the whole Jingzhou. Compared with Xie and Ma family with competitors, Chen The situation of the clan is more dangerous. If you are not careful, you may die.
Therefore, in recent years, the Chen family not only kept a low profile, but also did not take the opportunity to suppress other families, just in order not to anger Liu Biao. This time, Liu Biao's establishment of the college is clearly weakening the power of the family, and these people actually have to fight against Liu Qi at this time. Isn't it a way to die?
For Jingzhou, the family is important, but the most important thing is those top families. As long as the Pang, Kuai and Huang families are still there, the whole Jingzhou will not be in chaos. Now these families have clearly supported Liu Qi. The Wang family wants to take this opportunity to attract everyone and fight against Liu Qi. However, at that time, only Pang and the Huang family will stand up to support Liu Qi, and the families behind the Wang family will immediately turn their heads against the Wang family.
With Liu Qi's current power, it is not difficult to create some families in a short time. The whole Jingzhou has been very prosperous for more than ten years, and countless talents have been cultivated in more than ten years. Only people need to rise up, and these people will definitely come out to work for Liu Qi one after another.
This time, Liu Qi appointed so many officials at once, and most of the officials were from poor families. It was not that he was giving an indication to these poor people. As long as he has talent, he will reuse it.
Chen Xuan thought that there was a change in the hall, and everyone danced with excitement, and some even accused Liu Qi. These family owners are all extremely shrewd people, but under the guidance of Wang Lan and other family owners, they are unexpectedly emotional.
Shaking his head, knowing that it was difficult for these people to get things done, Chen Xuan got up and left. According to such a situation, the situation would only get worse and worse, and it would be better for him not to participate.
"Humph!"
Watching Chen Xuan leave, Wang Lan whispered, unremittingly holding his mouth, and rushed to disdain Chen Xuan's timidity. This is the gathering of more than half of the families in Jingzhou. Will Liu Qi still kill all the families here?
"Guys, now that the eldest son has just inherited the position of Jingzhou herdsman, he is already waiting for the ring of the poor family. Of course, the eldest son is influenced by these poor families, so he wants to weaken the influence of our families. However, after all, the eldest son has just inherited the position of state herdsman, and we can't give the eldest son too much face. I think there are some relatively partial books in all families. These books have no effect on the way of governing the country. We might as well hand over these books. At that time, the eldest son will naturally retreat from difficulties?
Wang Lan looked at the crowd talking, and his eyes were full of confidence. This time, as long as he guides everyone to avoid this matter, he will win prestige, and the influence of the Wang family will become greater and greater.
"This method is very good! It will not embarrass the eldest son, but also let the eldest son see the power of us.
"Yes, yes, yes, if so, most of the colleges can't continue to open, and this poor man will naturally be temporarily suppressed. As for Xu Shu and other poor people, he will find an opportunity later."
As soon as Wang Lan finished speaking, everyone agreed. This method is undoubtedly a compromise method, that is, if the task is completed, there will be no loss.
....................................................................................................
Chen Xuan came out of the Jufu Building and urged the carriage to go straight to the residence of the Chen family in Xiangyang.
"Father, what did other families say?" As soon as Chen Xuan walked into the mansion, he saw a young man in his twenties greeted him and asked.
"Nothing, you immediately go to the study and ask someone to select ten of the final books and transcribe one and send them to the eldest son's house." Chen Xuan said eagerly that the scruples about Jufulou will come to the eldest son in a short time. If it is not as soon as possible, I'm afraid that the Chen family will also be considered to be involved in this matter.
"Ah? Father, didn't you say that books are the foundation of the family? How can you take them out at will? The young man was shocked and looked at Chen Xuan.
"Although these books are important, we are not gone. As long as the people in the family study hard, they can naturally drive the rise of the family. I don't have time to tell you this now. Go and send the books you usually copy.
Chen Xuan shook his head and said that the inheritance of the family is not only superficial books. If so, why did Pang Degong and others accept disciples and take out the books in their family for free for people to learn?
