The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 336 The direction of the family ([-])
From the afternoon of yesterday at You, until after noon today.For a full ten hours, the Patriarchs of this group of aristocratic families only slept for an hour or two in the middle.So when Guan Yi announced the adjournment of the meeting and everyone walked out of Da Sima's mansion, they all felt exhausted physically and mentally.

Walking to the main street of Chang'an and being blown by the cold wind on the street, everyone's spirits improved a little.Then the patriarchs of the various families unanimously turned their inquiring eyes to Yin Zhang Zisheng, the patriarch of the Zhang family.

This is a very normal reaction: For the Yongliang family, don't say that many of our ancestors were single-handedly promoted by Zhang Ji. According to the rules of the inspection and judging system, everyone is a former student of the Zhang family.Let’s just talk about it now, Zhang and Wei are also the strongest, with the largest manor and the most serfs.Now that Wei Xiong and Wei Shaokang have gone to Luoyang, everyone naturally has to look at the Zhang family.

Zhang Yin obviously felt a lot of gazes cast on him, and also felt a mountain of pressure—everyone was looking at him, but Guan Yi was not focusing on him.There is no doubt that based on his understanding of this great Sima.After the spring of next year, the Zhang family will definitely be the first family whose household tax has been checked: Guan Da Sima has never been a persimmon picker when doing things.But if you want to catch the leader.Once the leader catches it, everyone below will naturally be obedient.

"Everyone, Yin has not slept all night, and he is really tired now. So I can't accompany you right now. If you have time some other day, let's get together later."

When everyone heard this, they felt a burst of disappointment: there was no specific date for Zhang to be the host.It means that Zhang Yin is not ready to come out and pick this head.In this way, no matter where the various aristocratic families go, they will not be able to connect with each other, and they can only sweep the snow in front of each other.

"So, Mr. Zhang, please go."

"Mr. Zhang, take a break at the inn next time. I will be returning to Dunhuang tomorrow. If you have time, next time you come to Chang'an, you must come to listen to Mr. Zhang's teachings."

"I don't dare to teach, everyone, leave."

"Farewell, farewell."

Getting on the horse with a heavy heart, Zhang Yin waved the whip lightly.The horse under his crotch galloped quickly, and quickly carried Zhang Yin back to his mansion.

"Welcome Patriarch back home."

"Ring the bell and let the longest seniors from the second room to the seventeenth room gather at the gate of the ancestral hall within a quarter of an hour."

"promise!"

"and many more."

"Does the master have any orders?"

"The previous order is retained, and one is added, so that the longest generation in the sixteenth house, all the fifth generation in each house, and those who are over five years old in the sixth generation, gather at the gate of the ancestral hall within a quarter of an hour."

"promise!"

The servants took the order and went to work quickly.Zhang Yin went straight to his yard, after notifying his wife and son.His eldest son hurried out to greet the relevant personnel in the long house.And he was the first to come to the gate of the ancestral hall with a heavy heart.

In the cold winter wind, Zhang Yin put on a cashmere sweater that Ma Guo gave him last night under his dark clothes, and he felt extremely warm.And this warmth made his determination stronger.

The Zhang family of Jingzhao, counted from the first generation of Zhang Ji, a famous minister of Cao Wei, to Zhang Yin's, is already the fourth generation.Zhang Yin's fifth generation, most of them are young people in their [-]s, [-]s, [-]s, and they are about to become official.As for the sixth generation, most of them are still babies, and only a very few children are over five years old.

But no matter what, the Zhang family now has seventeen houses including Zhang Yin's house.There are no fewer than two or three hundred children of the concubine and Zhang surname in each house.If these two 300 people are the core, add these people's wives, concubines, servants, handmaids, singers, dancers, cooking fires, washing clothes, etc.There are no less than 300 to 3000 people in the entire Zhang Mansion.Therefore, Jingzhaozhang's family is the real home of Zhongming Dingshi.Family gatherings can only be signaled by ringing the bell.

In the various cross-travel articles at the starting point, there are endless conflicts between the small families, the sisters-in-law, sister-in-law, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.In a super-big family like the Zhang family, because there are too many interests involved, the violence will only be more severe and there is no lower limit.Therefore, although the Zhang family is a big family, it has not yet separated.But the intrigue between the various houses is also extremely frequent.So usually everyone basically closes their doors to live their own lives.It is said to be a family, but in fact there is very little contact with each other.

But ringing the bell is different. This is an extremely important matter for the whole family.Therefore, as soon as the big clock in the center of the Zhang Mansion rang, within a quarter of an hour, most of the relevant personnel from each house came to the small square outside the ancestral hall.

After all, it is a big family, although they don't have much contact with each other.But since it is rare to get together outside of ancestor worship, it is inevitable to say hello to each other.And the characteristic of the Chinese is that no matter how big the conflict between relatives is, they are generally extremely enthusiastic in face.So for a while, the voices of various adults, nephews, grandchildren, etc., plus some naughty children crying and playing, etc., made the small square outside the ancestral hall bustling with people.

"Dangdangdang~~~" There was a sharp knocking sound, and everyone turned their heads in unison, and saw their Patriarch staring at everyone with an unfriendly expression.So they hurriedly stopped greeting each other, and Qiqi bowed in salute: "Meet the Patriarch."

"Uncles and brothers, you are welcome. I called you here today because I have a big event to inform you. Huh? Why didn't Thirteen Lang come?"

"Reporting to Patriarch, Thirteen Lang went hunting in Zhongnan Mountain the day before yesterday, and the Patriarch's call was too tight, so there was no time to notify."

"What kind of hunting do you do in winter? Go dig out the bear's den again? This man has some brute strength, so he keeps taking risks like this. Only when something happens will he realize that the hibernating bear is not so easy to mess with... that's all." , don’t wait for him. Now start the discussion.”

"Please show me the master."

"Yesterday, I spent a whole night discussing with senior officials of the Han Dynasty, such as Guan Da Sima and Ma Changshi, in the Da Sima Mansion. Finally, there is a result. Everyone, starting next year, the Fuxingshe's emeralds, gems, spirits, blankets... more than ten kinds of items , its sales in Jingzhao County are all in charge of me, Mrs. Zhang."

After Zhang Yin explained the concept of regional distribution rights in detail, all the veterans among the participants were beaming with joy!

"Patriarch, this is great! In this way, my family's income will at least double next year!"

"Brother Eight is too small-hearted, right? In my opinion, since the entire supply of Jingzhao is in our hands, the price is not set by us? With so many dignitaries in Jingzhao, it will be even more satisfying when the capital of Han Dynasty is moved to Chang'an in the future. The prince of the city. This profit, hehehe..."

"Patriarch, the shops in the counties in this county will be in charge of the people from several houses, and they need to be settled early. Everyone should make preparations early!"

"Yeah, for such a big matter, the head room may not have enough manpower. Our houses should also send capable children to help."

"You can see this? The Patriarch called the young people from five generations together today, isn't it just for this?"

"Hahaha~~~ That's exactly the case. Hey, so, next to my house, the Wei family's [-] acres of fertile land along the river, shouldn't we find an opportunity to buy it..."

"Dangdangdangdang~~~" Listening to this group of guys' endless YY, Zhang Yin's heart became even more convinced that what Guan Yi said was reasonable: If there is no change, the Zhang family will decline sooner or later!
As soon as the gong and platinum sounded, everyone quickly quieted down, and all of them looked at Zhang Yin with flattering and greedy eyes.The warm and copper-smelling breath almost made Zhang Yin vomit.

"I want you to know that my Zhang family is not top-notch in terms of distribution rights in this area. We are not qualified to directly get goods from Fuxingshe. In fact, we have to get goods from Huangfu's family in the entire Yongzhou area!"

"Ah? Why?"

"A declining family like the Huangfu family dares to ride on our heads, are you impatient?"

"That's right, the sales network of counties and counties still depends on my Zhang family's previous business routes. Why should I let the Huangfu family eat a piece of it for nothing?"

Looking at the group of idiots below who were still chattering there, Zhang Yin didn't bother to explain: "In addition to the monopoly rights of the entire Yongzhou, the Huangfu family also has the monopoly rights in Fufeng County next to Jingzhao. Therefore, the price of my family in Jingzhao cannot be set too high. High. Otherwise, they will not be able to compete with the Huangfu family. Therefore, the profit cannot be as big as you imagined."

"Patriarch, this, this, this, this is so unreasonable!"

"That's right, Patriarch. Isn't the Huangfu's family the Han country's internal response when conquering Yongliang? Such a shameless family, dare to ride on our heads!"

You also know that people saw it accurately at the beginning, and entered the market early to speculate successfully?He is now Guan Yili's benchmark!We can't afford to provoke him in a short time!
"Dangdangdang~~~, be quiet! Outside the gate of the ancestral hall, in front of the ancestors. Why is it so unseemly." He sighed deeply, and Zhang Yin continued: "I still have a few things to announce. "

"Please tell the master."

"This morning, Da Sima has made it clear to our major families in Yongliang. Next year, Yongliang will change the nine-rank Zhongzheng system to the inspection system!"

"what?"

"Guan Zifeng, that little thief, is so brave!"

"The perverted man will die a terrible death!"

"Clang~~~~ Shut up, old man!"

Speaking of which, Zhang Yin is only in his 30s this year, and he is still far away from being called an old man.But at the moment, he was also furious and overwhelmed, speechless.

Seeing that the Patriarch was furious like never before, everyone in the rooms below quickly silenced their voices.

"Say it again, outside the gate of the ancestral hall, in front of the ancestors. Anyone who interrupts the words of the head of the family will be expelled from the genealogy according to the family law!"

"Patriarch, please calm down, please show me."

"Humph! Let me tell you, next year, not only will the Jiupin Zhongzheng System be changed to the Juju System. Da Sima also made it very clear. From February next year, the entire territory of Yongliang will be checked for household taxes!"

"Ah~~~!"

There was still commotion, but in the end no one protested.

"En." Nodding in satisfaction, Zhang Yin said: "There are many key points here, and I will talk about it in detail with the clan elders and the heads of each house in the evening. I called you here today, and there are three sentences: First, The products of the Fuxing Society must be managed well. This is the foundation of whether my Zhang family can have such a huge family business in the future! Guan Da Sima is a first-class hero in the world. Such a hero will not be trapped in the world after all. The land of three states. So as long as we do things here to the satisfaction of Da Sima, we will have more regional monopoly rights in the future. Second, my Zhang family must be unanimous and fully cooperate with Da Sima's upcoming reforms Those who dare to obstruct and resist are sinners who want to harm my Zhang family. This kind of person does not need Da Sima to do it, I will personally execute the family law and kill him! Third, next year, the five generations of my Zhang family will actively Participate in the selection of Xiaolian. The two academies of Longshouyuan and Wuzhangyuan should send people in as much as possible. And the descendants of the sixth generation should actively enter Chang'an to study!"
