Chapter 894: Rebuilding Local Order
Han Gang fell down and vomited blood. The Han family was in a mess... But there was one thing that no one could stop. As the largest family, it could not resist the powerful torrents of the upper and lower families.
The court wants to divide the land, and the people who want to farm have their own land!
The reason is that simple. The court only gave the Han family one month and had to leave their hometown and go to Xixia.
"Mr., I want to go to Xixia first."
Han Zongwu bowed and asked.
Wang Ning'an thought for a while and said with a smile: "Are you going to play the front station for your family?"
"Well, Uncle Wu means that. After all, we are all from the Han family. The court has paid a settlement fee. We are planning to purchase some land and hire a group of slaves. In the future, whether it is raising sheep or farming, don't let the family... go hungry!"
Wang Ning'an smiled faintly. He was not surprised at all. As a huge family, it had a rich foundation and amazing financial resources. It was much better to drive them out, expand the border, and immigrate to the border than to drive poor people out.
"In this way, remember to go find Wen Kuanfu. That old guy became the governor of Xixia and was taking power. His subordinates needed talents. Just so many scholars in your family can help him. Wen Kuanfu will use you."
Han Zongwu was slightly surprised. The master ordered the Han family to expel. Now the Han family hates the teacher to death... Master doesn't know that if you ask the Han family to help Wen Yanbo, what if the Han family makes a comeback, wouldn't it be necessary to take revenge on Master?
"The Hetao area has been in the hands of foreign races for hundreds of years. The surrounding environment is harsh and the situation is very bad... The casual family cannot survive... The imperial court moved to the powerful to Xixia to implement the distribution of land and to defend the border... If a family wants to prosper, it must continue to spread its branches and leaves and send out the best and capable descendants. The same is true for a country. It is necessary to allow the best talents to deal with foreign enemies. In short, state affairs are the most important!"
Han Zongwu took a deep breath when he heard this. In terms of his vision, no one could compare to his master. Putting aside the interests and gains of the family, standing on the standpoint of the Song Dynasty, moving to a powerful man was a great move.
Domestic and foreign, kill multiple goals at one go!
"Master, no matter when, the disciple will never forget the kindness of his teaching. Although his disciple comes from a noble family, he is not a little bit of a nose and eyes. He only stares at the gains and losses of a family. The disciple is willing to follow the teacher and will never refuse!"
After saying that, Han Zongwu bowed deeply and turned into ninety degrees.
Wang Ning'an was also very moved. He had many students, but he only brought them out with only a few. Compared with others, Han Zongwu was indeed too behind.
"Don't stick it out."
Wang Ning'an pulled him up, "You go to Xixia first and find Wen Yanbo directly, without saying what I told you, that old man was cheated by me and was about to find him back. He would definitely treat the Han family well. Your uncles and brothers will not suffer any losses... You deal with the family's affairs and then go to the Southeast immediately!"
"southeast!"
Han Zongwu widened his eyes, his head turned and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Master, are you going to attack Southeast?"
Wang Ning'an nodded, looking very solemn.
Moving to the powerful and dividing the land... Although these things are full of resistance in the north, they can still be pushed forward.
The reason is that Wang Ning'an is in the north and has strong strength. Secondly, the court's focus is also in the north. There are many officials and strong execution. Third, the Six Arts have been developed for so many years and can dominate public opinion.
But what about the southeast?
Except for Lingnan and Bashu, there is almost a blank space.
The gentry clan in the southeast is mixed, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away. He is extraordinary in strength, and is good at calculating and very cunning.
Over the years, he has also competed with the gentry and bureaucrats in the southeast. To be honest, Wang Ning'an did not get much advantage. He sent Han Jiang to the south and thought he could deal with the gentry in the southeast. But who knew that Han Jiang had actually gotten involved with these people. Not only did he not weaken them, but instead made their power stronger.
Of course, he sent Han Zongwu to the southeast to test him to see if he was united. In addition, Wang Ning'an also wanted to paralyze the gentry in the southeast. In short, after the implementation of the equal-field order in the north, it was the south's turn. It would be a more difficult battlefield and the pressure would be high!
...
Wang Ning'an calmly made arrangements, but the situation in Hebei is not that simple.
The Han family collapsed, and a giant fell down, leaving only a mess!
"Wang Ning'an, you will know sooner or later. If you defeat our Han family, you will only regret it!"
Han Gang was angry at that time and vomited blood. After more than ten days of care, he recovered most of the time. These days, he hated his brothers, nephews, incompetent, servants, and tenants, and ruthless... In short, in his eyes, no one is a good person.
Everyone owed him 100,000 yuan but he should have been cut into pieces, which made the Han family not afraid to get into trouble. In addition to his son, there were several wives and concubines who had to take care of him, others were far away from his room, fearing that they would be squirted.
Gradually, Han Gang regained some rationality.
As the head of the Han family, Han Gang is not that he can curse people, but that he can lose his temper.
He knew better than anyone else that aristocratic families were definitely not just about knocking bones and sucking marrow, but also harming the people.
If it were as if outsiders said, the Han family would have been done with great consequences long ago, so how can they stand firm!
Aristocratic families play an irreplaceable role in the local area... Let's see, whoever dares to touch aristocratic families will definitely suffer the bitter fruit...
On this day, Han Gang barely got up, walked back and forth in the small garden with a cane.
Suddenly, a noisy sound came from the street.
He hurried to the wall and listened to it. It turned out that someone was stealing something in the street. A group of people were chasing, as if they were catching up, fighting each other, yelling and scolding, and climbing into the sky.
After a long time, the sound ended.
When Han Gang heard this, he suddenly threw the crutch and burst into laughter.
Retribution is coming!
It depends on how you, Wang Ning'an, ended!
Han Gang took a big stroll and returned to the room. He immediately called his son and went out to inquire.
"Father, why are you going out!"
The son shook his head repeatedly, "Dad, the streets are in chaos these days. Some steal things, some robbers, and even kill and rob people. The child is afraid... If something happens to me, who will take care of you!"
"Hmph, your father has seen something that is useless even if you have thousands of troops! I'm not afraid!"
Han Gang said this, but he was a little guilty. He was caught and dismissed from office and went home because he couldn't handle the soldiers. However, this time Wang Ning'an encountered trouble. Look, sooner or later, he will be in trouble!
Why is Han Gang so sure?
The reason is very simple. The aristocratic families also bear responsibilities and missions... For example, if the imperial court collects taxes, they have to help and urge them. If there are major projects in the local area and schools are set up, they have to pay and work.
In addition, the most important thing is that when there are disputes in the local area, the big family often comes forward and uses the patriarchal law to resolve them... Although it seems that the power of the court is lost, it actually reduces the burden on the yamen.
For example, many times, the imperial court's Ministry of Justice cannot approve many death penalty... It is not that there are fewer people committing crimes, but that local families have helped resolve most of them.
In addition, the servants and thugs raised by the aristocratic families also have to take on some responsibility to protect the place... When ordinary bandits and robbers come, they are also responsible for arresting...
In short, the joint efforts of the aristocratic families and local governments and work closely together to maintain local stability and tranquility.
Now, just cutting off the aristocratic family is equivalent to breaking one arm. How can something happen?
When the place is in chaos, you, Wang Ning'an, can't handle it, and all kinds of accusations will fall on you!
Reform, reform!
To put it nicely, can the rules of thousands of years be unreasonable?
You want to change it!
I think you are trying to die in a different way!
That night, Han Gang ate a lot of rice, but his family was not as happy as him, because the imperial court's deadline was up and he was about to set off.
I heard that there are barbarians in Xixia who eat raw meat and drink cold water. When things happen, they only recognize fists and not reason. They are very worried about their wives and sons.
"What are you afraid of? Are you not Han Fu and Han Tong? They are both good kung fu. It's easy to fight ten or eight of them by one. Let them follow them. You don't have to take it seriously!"
"Dad, Han Fu is afraid he can't go!"
"What?"
Han Gang was so angry that he stood up suddenly, "Does Han Fu still have a conscience? A few years ago, during the heavy snowstorm of three days and three nights, he and his mother, all had no food, were starved to death. It was me who gave him a bite of food and asked him to become a servant in the Han family. At that time, he knelt in front of me, saying that he would never frown when he went up to the knife mountain and down the oil pan. Why, he dared not say anything but?"
The son nodded helplessly, "Dad, my son has heard that Han Fu's mother is sick. He wants to take care of his mother and can't take it off. He really can't accompany his father!"
"Hmph! Excuses are all excuses!"
Han Gang was so angry that he slapped the table, "Many people are brave these days, but not many people have consciences! Your father saved that ungrateful wolf just because he was blind! By the way, what about Han Tong? He wouldn't have to take care of me too, right?"
"That's not, but I haven't seen him for several days. I don't know what errands I've been looking for, so I probably won't come."
Han Gang rolled his eyes in anger. At this moment, someone came to visit and walked in with a tall and strong man. His face turned red. When he saw Han Gang, he knelt on the ground. Without saying a word, he kowtowed three times first!
"Master, Han Tong is sorry for you, Han Tong deserves to die!"
"Bah, if you know you deserve to die, go out and jump into the river and dig into the well. Why do you have to disgust me if you have no conscience?"
The lady couldn't bear to watch it anymore. She had a good time for the master and servant to get together and parted ways, so why bother to make a fuss!
"Han Tong, do you have an errand?"
"If you say goodbye to your wife, the young man participated in the application and was lucky enough to become a deputy military officer and was responsible for the affairs of the Fa Cao."
Han Gang frowned and said angrily: "Have you eaten at the yamen?"
"When I say to the master, it was the order issued by the prince. The local yamen has been expanded. The villain has been lucky enough to choose it. I can't continue to serve the master. Please don't blame me!"
