Chapter 1120: The tyrant family
On April 24th, after nearly half a month of long journey, a large group of people arrived at Shangdang and rested here for two days. "Whose family is this?" Mo Han asked when Lu Qiu Lu arranged for Dai Guo and his group to live in a manor. "This is the Shangdang Liu family's house. On weekdays, there are only customers, servants, maids, and clerks, and few members of the Liu family come here." said Lu Qiu Lu.
Mo Han looked at it and smiled and said, "It's really awesome. In the past, I saw Pugu's house in Xinping, which was bigger than my family. I thought it was a big deal. Today, I saw Liu's house in the village, which may be worse than Pugu's house, but the exquisite decoration is far better than it."
"Have you ever thought about why Pugu is so rich?" Dai Gong and his group had already entered the manor. Wuqiu Lu and Mo Han simply chatted outside the courtyard. Now he heard Wuqiu Lu say, "It's not all about business."
"My family also does business, and knows how much it can be made." Mo Han smiled and said, "Pugu is so rich, it is indeed not just about business."
Wuqiu Lu knew that Mo Han was a Han Chinese and already had an answer in his heart, so he pointed to the farmland outside the Liu family's house and said, "During the reign of Emperor Hui of Jin, Shangdang had Jie, Wuhuan, Xiongnu, etc., etc. during the reign of Emperor Hui of Jin. At that time, the tribe planted millet, beans, hemp and other things, but there were still tribe masters, leaders, and small commanders, each with tribe members. Thirty years have passed, and tribe masters are still there, but the clan leaders are becoming increasingly rare. Most of them rely on the Liu family and become officials of the manor tribe, dictionary and family orders. "
"Look at this marijuana field, it should be planted this spring, and the craftsmanship must be quite good." Lu Qiu Lu pulled Mo Han out and said, "Look at the mountain over there, there were bound cards in the past. The pastures were divided, but now they are gone."
Mo Han nodded slightly.
"They are all the grasslands of the Liu family, and they are divided into their surnames, so that they can bring a group of people to herd."
"There are also the orchards over there. I forgot which family was from before. I saw that person two years ago. Last year, the father and son died of battle or died of illness. The tribe had no support and were incorporated by the Liu family."
"Wuxiang, who had passed by before, had several valleys on the other side belonged to the Ma family. After Ma Qiu went to Xiangyang, the land was taken away by the Liu family."
At this point, Wuqiu Lu looked at Mo Han and said, "The emperor believed in Liu family, and Liu family became more and more prosperous with this trust. Pugu family became more and more trustworthy. How could he not be rich?"
Mo Han laughed.
In a nutshell, the Liu family of Shangdang gradually transformed from a "leader" recommended by the Jie tribe alliance to a local tyrant.
This transformation is enjoyable for them.
Is the leader of the tribal alliance okay? OK, but not that good either, because many small tribes have their own farmland, pastures, forests and tribes. They may provide some for the alliance leaders, but they will also retain some of them - the number of them depends on the prestige and means of the leader.
But local tyrants are different.
The farmland, pastures, and forests are all owned by one family, and the tribes are also their farmers and tribes. Even the former clan leaders and small tribe leaders gradually became family generals and retainers of the wealthy clans - in modern terms, they changed from "small shareholders" to "professional managers".
Can this be the same?
This is how many Wuhuan tribes in the early years disintegrated, and the Wang family of Guangning is a typical example.
The Pugu family in Dai Kingdom was actually trying to become a noble family. This is very attractive to the tribal leaders. Not only is the wealth quickly concentrated in the hands of the tribal adults, but the power has also increased greatly.
The Hu tribes who went south to the Central Plains will eventually take this step sooner or later.
From the perspective of the Shaoliang court, they are also happy to see such changes. Because the tribes that became rich generally settled and were difficult to relocate, it was easier for the court to grasp.
Moreover, the tribal leaders who became richer are easier to deal with and more agree with the Central Plains at the cultural level.
Mo Han looked left and right, and the more he looked, the more he felt that the Liu family of Shangdang was very similar to the once disintegrated Wuhuan tribe.
No, maybe it goes a step further, because he heard the sound of books-
"What is that?" Mo Han asked, pointing to more than ten monasteries outside the manor. "Liu's private school." Lu Qiu Lu glanced at it and said, "I invited several scholars from Cui from Tunliu. His in-laws, Sun, Taiyuan, also had children to teach Liu and a few other nephews to study."
"Foreign surname?"
"Liu always wants to send someone, so don't give me any benefits?"
Mo Han was amazed when he heard this.
This Liu Runzhong is completely like a scholar in the Central Plains. He has a manor, a tribe, a private school and a family. If you replace his high nose and deep-eyed face, you can't tell that he is a Hu person.
However, it doesn't matter if he can't replace it. After several generations, their descendants may have completely become Chinese in appearance after marriage, and the last trace has been erased.
At that time, this was just a Central Plains gentry with some remnants of Hu Feng and some tradition of archery and horse riding and shooting.
As the two of them were talking, several riders came from afar and entered a village outside the manor.
Two of them dismounted, beat the gong with a gong, and soon a group of people came.
After negotiations, the group of people followed them.
Mo Han was a little puzzled.
As he thought about it, he waved to a follower and asked him to inquire.
After a while, the entourage came back and said, "Liu Huan, the son of the Minister of the Secretariat, entered the officialdom with the family and served as the Yidu Yiling Order. This is a recruitment of troops, limited to a thousand people. It is said that he would go there first to settle down and take over the family in a while. The land they left behind was handed over to the court, and it would be reorganized in two years, and incorporated into the land of Shangdang County officials. The court sent official slaves to farm."
"So that's it." Mo Han nodded.
This is another means by Emperor Daliang to control the Liu family and Shangdang, but it should be just the insignificant part of the many means. But when the sun is cut, you should not underestimate it.
Liu Runzhong has so many sons, and he is scattered all over the place. It is hard to say whether he will be a family in the future. Each son took away some people, and I don’t know how many shopkeepers to be divided into. But in this matter, Liu Runzhong also wants to thank the emperor because he is really good to the Liu family. Are you moved by so many officials? If you are moved, don’t you work hard to fight for him?
It turns out that in addition to killing people, there are so many means and so many ways to cure people...

At the end of April, the weather in Heluo area was clear and the wind was buzzing.
Tuoba Xianbei and his group arrived at Heyang North City and crossed the floating bridge to Luoyang.
There is no trace of navy on Hezhu near Zhongli City, and only one ship after another travels between Hongnong, Henoi, Henan, Ji, Xingyang, Puyang and Dunqiu counties.
The traces of war have long disappeared.
The wheat fields on both sides of the river gradually became a little golden, and wild flowers bloomed everywhere, competing for beauty.
The rural grass market is crowded with people, and farmers are hawking around with fruits, vegetables, chickens and ducks. The fragrance comes from the wine shop at the entrance of the village.
When I saw the large group of Xianbei cavalry, the older people's faces changed slightly, but the younger people stood by the road and pointed, and burst into laughter from time to time.
Shi Yijian got his mother's permission and got off the carriage and rode a horse alone.
The Xianbei cavalry who was guarding him from afar made the people of Liang laugh and subconsciously straightened the hat on their foreheads so that they could not see their bare scalp.

Some people even lowered their heads, obviously a little embarrassed.
Shi Yijian snorted coldly, took off his riding hat, revealing the small braid on his head.
"Seed head!" Someone in the distance exclaimed, "What a Seed head!"
Shi Yijian's face turned red and he was extremely angry.
But he didn't move much. He has been used to suppressing all kinds of negative emotions since he was a child. But he also hated the Central Plains even more, the people here are as annoying as the one on the Luoyang Imperial Territory.
I don’t know if you were like this when the Huns surrounded Luoyang?
I don’t know if you dare to shout when the Duan Xianbei was invited to Luoyang and plundered everywhere?
A bunch of naughty men, if you have the chance, you must teach a lesson.
Thinking of this, he looked at the carriage diagonally behind him.
My mother was sitting in the car with two evil seeds, rushing to Luoyang to be scolded by the man.
It's ridiculous! Do they care about you?
Does a person with a black heart like Shao Zhe really care about a woman? In his eyes, you may not be as important as a battalion of imperial guards.
A few days ago, someone advised him to improve his relationship with his mother, and to join Shao Zhexu and listed some reasons.
He agreed deeply. However, his mother did not trust him, and what was even more sad was that he did not trust his mother either.
Shi Yijian was so angry that he was furious, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel fear.
He even planned to escape.
There are still some loyal and brave people in the middle of the country, and those who run out may exist.
What happens if you successfully escape to a certain tribe? Will there be a turning point? Shi Yijian was undecided, worried about being betrayed, and wanted to get out of control. This torment almost drove him crazy.
But he knew very well that as time went by, his heart became increasingly inclined to run away.
On the second day of May, Dai Kingdom arrived in Luoyang and was arranged to Panyuan in the east of the city.
In the afternoon of that day, a unit with shining armor escorted a carriage to Panyuan.
A moment later, Yuan Zhen got off the carriage.
He looked around first, and when he saw his smiling mother, he rushed over without caring about others present.
Wang picked up his son contentedly.
It's great that Li Zhen still thinks of her like this after being "abducted" to the Central Plains for a few years.
Tuoba Jing was held in his hand by a maid and looked at his seven-year-old brother curiously. For a moment, a smile appeared on his face.
He was only three years old and had been named Duke of Wuyuan County, and he had "inexplicably" a group of officials and hundreds of kingdom soldiers.
The tribes have reached more than 6,000 households, 30,000 to 40,000, and are still growing slowly.
Because his mother had made many mysterious deeds and prophecies for him, he had a lot of mystery among the Tuoba Xianbei people, and some ignorant people even believed that those who developed the country must be the one.
Wang took the opportunity to combine the Wuyuan tribe into the "Dai tribe". Tuoba Jing took "Dai" as his surname, so he was also called "Dai Jing".
The girl A Liudun hid behind Wang, looked at her brother quietly, and bit her finger gently. "My grandma, Your Majesty sent me to pick you up." Yuan Zhen said after letting go of his mother.
"Okay." Wang gently touched his son's forehead and responded.
