Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 525;
Chapter 520;

The head of the Lin family stood at the head of the main hall, reprimanding all the members of the Lin family;

"Although Aye and Second Uncle's legs were broken by the family law, they never held grudges against one horse and two Lius. It's just that I have been uncomfortable because of this, and I can't get over the hurdle in my heart, so I won't be with you after I take office. Several of them moved around.

But I have never hated my clansmen, let alone envied them. Our Lin family is in charge of the guards of the whole clan, and at the same time manages the rules and regulations of the family. When you follow the rules, you also have to follow the rules yourself.

Don't dislike me for being long-winded. The reason why I mention it from time to time is that I am afraid that everyone will be negligent in this simplest thing, because many people in the world always ignore the simplest things. "

"It was the elder brother who taught me that the younger brother should not be jealous indiscriminately."

"Uncle."

"I'll remember."

"I was wrong just now, please forgive me, brother."

"Not guilty."

"Thank you brother for not guilty."

The head of the Lin family saw that all the elders expressed their opinions, and then returned to their seats and sat down again, turning their heads to look at Li Yu;

"To the patriarch, only Mrs. Liu's first three sons are the most suitable for the position of chief steward. Others are also good at raising livestock, but if they want to take power, I'm afraid they will have to practice and practice. Please learn from the patriarch."

"Well, according to the recommendation of the head of the family, I will go to see the head of the Liu family tomorrow to make a decision on this matter and start raising livestock as soon as possible.

By the way, don't you Lin family children usually train soldiers? How come I haven't seen it once? "

"Patriarch Hui, since the Sui Dynasty, we have not practiced military training in public. The imperial court taboos these things, so we exercise our body secretly, and we dare not open it again, so as not to offend the imperial court."

"Oh? What the elders said is the truth, but you can't sit still, or you won't be able to run when you need to pull it out. How can you fight?"

"The patriarch is right. But don't worry, the Lin family has never interrupted the important thing of physical exercise. If there is something in our clan that needs to be pulled out, we can fight immediately."

Li Yu was very comforted when he heard this, but he rolled his eyes and said casually;
"Then do our clansmen have any weapons at hand?"

This time, before the head of the Lin family could speak, an elder on the right rushed to speak;
"Qi reported that the patriarchs have all made of high-quality materials. The men of the Lin family have all made of beef tendon wood, plus bamboo slices wrapped around rattan, and then soaked in raw lacquer. They are all passed down from generation to generation. good stuff,
From the moment the males of the Lin family are born, they have their own Aye to prepare. It takes at least five to eight years for a pole to be successfully made, and it takes 13 years for a delicate pole to be completed.

Therefore, there are elders who have gone out to find high-quality beef tendon wood since they were young. They are carefully crafted, and they are real treasures that will not break for hundreds of years.

At ordinary times, they keep the body of the gun and the head of the gun separately, and they are under the unified control of the elders. When they go out to fight, they will be distributed to each strong man and can be used. The iron gun is usually a stick that is placed in their respective homes to practice the art of assassination, chopping and picking. "

Li Yu's throat felt dry when he heard this, what a pistol, it's just a gun barrel, and you still need to be so particular about it?How many years to make a claim?This is too troublesome, right?

"What the elder said is so different from what the Ministry of Industry made for the Ministry of War in the imperial court. I heard that the poles made by the Ministry of Industry can be molded and used in three years! Why did the elder say at least five to eight years?"

The elder couldn't say rude things that the patriarch was too young to understand, so he could only patiently explain;
"I would like to report to the patriarch that the court cannot wait endlessly. When the war comes, it must be used immediately, and the damaged ones must be replaced in time every year. If a batch is produced in seven or eight years, the delay will be too long.

Our family is different, there is no age limit and there is plenty of time, so we can carefully build according to the old rules, without seeking a quick fix.

To put it bluntly, the instant poles made by the imperial court are incomparable and incomparable to the poles in our clan. It would be a waste of time to dry them in the shade for two years, and they still need to be polished and wrapped with small bamboo pieces. Simple, but the twined rattans are all specially planted, and they also need to be dried in the shade and soaked in raw lacquer.
The longer the time, the more powerful it is. It is strong enough to sprint without breaking, and it is not too soft like white wax poles to withstand the impact. The poles used by our Lin family have never been less than 13 years old.

Only the poles of the other [-] surnames are not particular. They were made in five or six years, and some were made in seven or eight years. After all, men with other surnames don’t use them too much. The Lin family will never be sloppy in making weapons. "

Li Yu rubbed his forehead with his hand;

"Are more than a dozen other surnames doing it? Isn't everyone good at martial arts, and the whole family is a soldier? Can the court allow us to do this?"

"As the Hui patriarch said, the five surnames and seven wangs are all carried out in this way. Many families have raised males who want to be killed. In this way, until now, the emperor was a bit taboo during the previous dynasty, so the five surnames and seven Wangs have restrained a lot.

In order not to make the emperor unhappy, but the traditional old rules are still preserved, and it has become unassuming and secretive. When the court has a step, it will turn a blind eye and close its eyes. The big family has a large population. If it is not like this, who can be at ease ?Wouldn't he be slaughtered without armed guards? "

On the surface, Li Yu listened silently, but in fact his heart was overwhelmed. No wonder Li Shimin tried his best to suppress the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs in history, and dealt with the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs in different ways. Beheaded cleanly, that's how it is!

In fact, Li Yu was surprised because he didn't understand the history. The royal family Li was born with five surnames, Qiwang, and lived in the country. Can people not know the strength and terror of the big family?Of course it has to be suppressed, otherwise every family will be powerful and pose a threat to the imperial court, right?
It also shows in disguise that Li Shimin is always scrupulous, and the reason why he dare not do too much is that the strength of each of the five surnames and seven wang families is a big factor. If you want to kill them all, you will be happy It's really fun, and there is nothing wrong with the idea of ​​​​eliminating hidden dangers, but the five surnames and seven hopes are all united?In an instant, the world will be in chaos again!

In the more than 800 years since the five surnames and Qiwang formed the climate, the emperor has always divided the world with the five surnames and Qiwang. This is not bragging. This is an iron fact. For hundreds of years, to put it bluntly, the five surnames and Qiwang are the uncrowned kings everywhere, and their appeal is more direct than that of the imperial court!

Li Yu asked again;
"Then do we have archers in our clan?"

Lin's second brother also spoke this time;

"Patriarch Qi, there is no dedicated archer. All the men in our Lin family can ride and shoot. Each has ten arrows. Everyone has."

Li Yu frowned fiercely;

"So the imperial court can rest assured that our Li family has personal force?"

It was the elder brother's second brother who stood up and explained;

"The patriarch doesn't have to worry too much. All the five surnames and Qiwang families in the world have martial arts. Without armed guards, how can they protect the clansmen from being bullied?"

Li Yu said in a deep voice;

"They are them, and we are us. In fact, everyone has not considered a question, that is, the five surnames and Qiwang are opposite to the royal family. They are not grasshoppers on the same line. Why did Yang Guang and his son in the previous dynasty die in the second generation? Didn't he want to hold the imperial examination?

This matter was good for the imperial court, but it hurt the bones of the five surnames Qiwang and the local wealthy families, so in the end the world was in chaos, the princes fought for hegemony, and dozens of roads of smoke and dust billowed. Jiangshan.

Today's supreme is a wise emperor through the ages, with ambitions in all directions, and he was born with five surnames and Qiwang, and he knows the world's major sects like the back of his hand. How could he not have imagined these threats?

Therefore, I said that the five surnames and Qiwang are opposed to the imperial court. In my opinion, the Supreme Lord must take action to suppress the five surnames and Qiwang. As for how far the suppression will go, I don’t know how long the five surnames and Qiwang can survive?It's even more unpredictable! "

After Li Yu finished speaking, all the elders looked at each other, you look at me and I look at you, what the patriarch said is true, this is the general trend that cannot be refuted.

The head of the Lin family, who had been silent all this time, also became very serious, and said word by word;

"The patriarch's concern is the truth. We want to protect the court but don't want the big sects to have force. It's really wrong. Especially since the Sui Dynasty, five surnames and seven surnames have been tabooed against these big sects.

But this is also a big problem that is not easy to solve. It is impossible for the court to welcome us to have more force, and it is even more impossible for us to give up the power to protect ourselves.

However, the five surnames and seven wangs have restrained a lot compared to before, and instead of making too much publicity, they have changed to secretly. Many portals seem to have moved to Chang'an on the surface, but in private, their forces are all in their old dens.

We are no exception. Several generations of patriarchs have carefully managed the business. The previous dynasty did follow the emperor to live in Chang'an, but still put most of the clansmen in the old nest in Longxi to prevent unexpected events. The first person echoed, if something happens, we will protect the patriarch and go back to Longxi, at least we can protect the lives of the clansmen if we unite with the big house and the third house. "

Hearing these words, Li Yu felt even more headaches. On the surface, these words were to protect himself, but in fact they were considered treasonous. The problem is that no one can let go of the guy in his hand and let others slaughter him. This is a contradictory topic, and it will continue to circulate like this When it can't be solved, the situation will change again. Isn't the wheel of history always going like this?
Master Lin spoke again;
"The patriarch, don't blame me for talking too much, I mentioned it once when Alang was here, we shouldn't live here and manage it, Longxi is our old nest, we should go back and manage it carefully.

First of all, the patriarch should go back to Longxi to check and make arrangements, including raising sheep and so on. We have a lot of land and property over there. After all, this is not a place to live for a long time. Please consider carefully the patriarch. Even the two generals of Qin Cheng also agreed with me. Yes, when the time comes, why not bring the clansmen of the Qin and Cheng families there? "

"This... the future is long, let's talk about it later."

When the head of the Lin family heard that Li Yu's words were exactly the same as those of the previous patriarch, he couldn't help but sighed softly. He couldn't influence the behavior of the patriarch, and the patriarch would not take it seriously if he persuaded him, so he had no choice but to do anything.

As for Li Yu originally wanted to talk about his future plans, but unknowingly reached a dead end, it was also extremely embarrassing, and he couldn't remember what he wanted to say just now, so he could only deal with it casually;

"It's not that I don't agree to go back to Longxi, but it's a bit too sudden for us to pull all the clansmen there without a reason. What do you think of the Supreme? What do the officials in the court think?
As for Patriarch Lin’s proposal, I support it. I know it well and have discussed it with Uncle Qin once. When the right opportunity arises, we will go back to the old nest to operate. In the next few days, I will notify the patriarch of the [-]th surname to send an order. Go back, Longxi is not allowed to come to the tribe again.

It's just that Duan Ansheng lives in Longxi, and it's not too difficult to live in a new house. Ask the public loser to finish building our place, and send some members of the public loser back to help build the new house. There is no need to come here. Master Lin can do it Immediately issued a warrant to go back to prevent the members of the Lin family from relocating. "

Everyone in the Lin family answered two words simply and neatly;

"Respect."

"Oh, by the way, give me one of your spear heads and gun heads. I'll take them back and see if I can make them sharper."

"only!"

The head of the Lin family nodded in agreement, and the elders went out immediately, but after a while, they brought two weapons and handed them to Liang Bold, the guard accompanying Li Yu, to hold them in their hands.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. It's almost time for night food when I go back."

"The patriarch is not here to eat?"

"Go back after dinner, patriarch."

"Yes, yes, patriarch, it's getting dark soon, why don't you go back to the mansion after eating overnight!"

"No, no, I've delayed everyone for a while. I guess you all have things to do, so you can do what you should. Tomorrow, remember to send someone to teach the family law of the Zou family, as well as those who have violated the family law these days." People with the surname of Zou can be punished as they like, but the punishment will be delayed for two days, and tomorrow I have something to announce to the people of the Zou family."

Immediately after Li Yu gave his instructions, two elders stood up and agreed, and they were probably the two elders who would be sent to guide and supervise the Zou family's designated family law.

"It's the patriarch, so let's not mention the foul of the Zou family members tomorrow."

Another elder followed suit;
"It will be a few days after the mistake according to the patriarch's order."

"Well, you all stay here, I'll go back now."

Li Yu rushed back to his mansion with a group of maids and guards. On the way, Li Yu kept scratching his head. He obviously wanted to say something, why couldn't he remember what to say?And I killed Kecha, this is the first time this kind of thing happened, alas..."

Li Yu returned to the mansion depressed, just arrived at the main hall and before he sat down, he saw Xiao Yu standing in a corner, Li Yu asked casually;
"Your family is in charge, why don't you go and serve her?"

"Patriarch, the chief steward of my family has moved today, and the slaves are here waiting for the master to come back. I just want to invite the master to visit our lady's new house."

"Oh?"

"Ms. Lin, she finally arranged a yard for herself? This girl is finally not stingy, how about I go and see her new home?"

"Yes, that slave will lead the way."

"Ah."

Li Yu followed Xiao Yu to leave, and a serving maid in the corner over there secretly left the front hall, turned around and came to the front room, and whispered a few words with another third-class maid who had been waiting for a long time.

"Patriarch has arrived. This is the yard chosen by my wife. Patriarch, please come to my house."

"Hey! She's still neighbors with Mrs. Situ. It's a good choice. Just as she told Mrs. Situ, it's not bad to be a neighbor."

Li Yu entered the courtyard while talking, heard someone talking at the gate of the courtyard, the maid inside hurried out, picked up Li Yu and entered the main hall.

Rong Niang sent Xiao Yu to watch the front, and she agreed to let the Patriarch come back, why did she bring the Patriarch back without making a sound?
"The slave family pays homage to Lord Hou."

"No gift, no gift!"
