Chapter 816 Secret


Chapter 816 Secret

This case was a murder that occurred in Yinjiabi, Gong County, east of Kyoto.

The victim is Yin Jiabi's former servant, Huo.

He got this name because his father picked up a rabbit in the field when his mother was giving birth to him, so he got his name.

Of course, in the end the rabbit was taken away by Huo's father's family, the Yin family, but in the end it still left such a good name for Huo.

Yes, being surrounded by a circle of disciples and slaves is already considered a very good name.

As long as you look at the names of "傂", "専", "専", "尘", "尘" and "尘", there is no doubt that Huo is already very elegant.

It's a pity that Huo comes from Tu Li and does not have his own surname, so he has been called Huo all his life.

However, to be precise, Hui had his own surname. He learned from his father that they were also from respectable families in the past and were called Ying.

Three generations ago, surnames were divided into two, men were called surnames and women were called surnames. The surnames are distinguished by the noble and the humble. The noble ones have a surname, and the lowly ones have a surname but no surname.

And what if a man has a family name? It means that the ancestors have land, titles, and towns, and even those with special skills can also have a family name.

In other words, low-level Tu Li and Qian Shou are not worthy of a surname. Even if the Qian Shou may have come from a respectable family and inherited the surname, as long as you are reduced to the status of Qian Shou, you can no longer have a surname.

Therefore, even if he had his own surname, he was still not allowed or recognized. Over time, they gradually forgot the memory of their ancestors, leaving only the word "win" in the mouths of future generations.

Tu Li, who has always been called Huo, finally had a change of fate last year after living for twenty-four years.

Of course, what also changed with Huo were the more than 100,000 disciples, slaves, Guizhou chiefs, servants, and tribes throughout Gong County.

It was Le Jin of the Taishan Army who led the army to Gong County and destroyed the rule of the Han family along the way.

Subsequently, drastic changes occurred in the entire Jingdong area from Kyoto to Hulao Pass, and a common people's counterattack against the wealthy families finally began.

Naturally, Yinjiabi, located in the southwest suburbs of Gong County, has not escaped this wave.

This wall is called Yin Jiabi. Of course, the head of the family is named Yin, but there are thousands of people named Yin, but none of them is as unique as this wall. This is just because this family is a wealthy family in Gyeonggi Province, and Gong County is their main destination. Yin family.

The Yin family started to prosper not very early. They only started to become a public family during the reign of Emperor He of this dynasty, but they grew rapidly thereafter. They were famous for their integrity for several generations, and most of their clans held noble positions.

Although this kind of family background cannot be compared with the Wei family and the Du family in the Gyeonggi area, these families were already established Confucian classics families in the Pre-Han Dynasty.

But in this three-thirds of an acre of land in Gong County, the Yin family can still call it "the sky of the Han family and the land of the Yin family."

His family is so famous in the local area.

Of course, it is also true that because they are relatively low in the ranking in the Gyeonggi gentry circle, the Yin family can only find other ways to become famous, and their family is famous and treats the people below them well.

Therefore, it was precisely because of this reputation that when the Taishan Army arrived, there was no major disaster in the Yin family.

The tribesmen who were the main fighting faction had already died in the battle to defend Gongxian County, and those who remained in Wubi were the "obedient" ones.

Although the Yin family was only a family that became successful in this dynasty, because it was close to top aristocratic families such as Wei and Du, it had heard how these families survived the "difficult" and troubled times.

Speaking of which, there is no mystery, it is nothing more than splitting up the bets.

Specifically, each branch of the family makes its own choice, and then allows those who are unwilling to participate to stay in their hometown and defend themselves.

Then let time and fate do the screening, and the one who wins in the end will take up the family's flag and the county's authority again, thus creating the legend of each family that lasts for thousands of years.

And if the tribesmen outside die due to bad luck, the tribesmen who stay in their hometown will serve as the last backup, working hard and scrimping on food and clothing to survive the dark period of civilization.

In Zhang Chong's later words, this method is blockchain technology, which is de-organized.

Only this kind of organizational form can survive the great reshuffle of civilization.

The same is true for the Yin family. When the Taishan army arrived at the Yin family wall, the tribesmen who stayed inside the wall knew that Gong County had been lost. What they had to do now was to forget their hatred and obey the conquerors.

Therefore, the subsequent transformation of Yin's wall by the Taishan Army went very smoothly.

At first, the field officials could not mobilize the heads of Guizhou and the servants to criticize and judge the Yin clan members. Finally, under the pressure of the quota, they arrested a few Yin clan members who went too far.

The steward who had harvested his father's rabbit was among them, although neither he nor the steward felt that this was a crime, not even a matter.

It can be said that in the eyes of the local Taishan Army in Gong County, the Yin Jiabi is such an obedient and cooperative family. The entire Jingdong area is also so peaceful.

After that, the Taishan Army divided the land here in Yinjiabi and re-allocated homesteads and fields to Tuli and Qianshou. For the convenience of subsequent management, they also gave these Tuli their surnames.

In order to prevent the formation of cliques with the same surname, the Taishan Army added surnames to local Guizhou heads one by one, with very few duplications.

Don't think that it's not important to have the same surname. In fact, even if two families are not related by blood, as long as your surname is the same, these people will form a group.

The above tasks are all done by the Taishan Army. They have done them countless times from Hebei to Bingzhou and then to Gyeonggi.

As for Huo's family, Huo told Taishan Army that they had a surname, Ying.

At that time, the land subdivision official who was responsible for making the register knew a little bit about Ying's story, so he took it upon himself to change their family to the surname Zhao. Because no one in the Yin family had picked the surname Zhao at that time, so this surname was chosen. It fell into their home.

So Huo got his full name, Zhao Huo.

After that, Zhao Huo's gains began to live up to his name. Not only did he acquire eighty acres of land from his master's family, but he also acquired about ten acres of riverside land.

Moreover, Zhao Huo also married a wife, a maid who served from the master's family.

From then on, Zhao Huo really began to live a good life.

Unexpectedly, during the decisive battle between Taishan Army and Yiluo, Zhao Huo died suddenly at home.

It is said that this man came back from the fields two days ago and was completely exhausted. After that, he lay at home for two days. In order to replenish his health, his bride specially borrowed three chickens from the company on credit.

But it was these three chickens that killed Zhao Huo.

That night, Zhao Huo began to suffer from abdominal cramps, diarrhea, fever, and died on the bed with a blue face before the witch doctor from the community came. At that time, Zhao Huo only had an old mother left. Her mother thought that her son's death was really strange, so she suspected that her son had been poisoned to death, so she reported the case to the county government.

As a result, the subsequent series of disturbances began to be implicated.

……

In the spring of this year, when Huan's life changed dramatically, Yin Shang's life was also shattered beyond recognition.

Yin Shang is the eldest son and the only son of this generation of Yin family. Because of his profound attainments in Confucian classics and his further studies at Taixue, he has been cultivated as the seed of the family.

So when the rest of the clan went out to plan for the future, Yin Shang led his clan members to stay in his hometown. With the help of some clan elders, he changed his appearance and concealed his identity as the young clan leader.

In fact, this method is useless, because even if the Yin family conceals his identity for Yin Shang, the disciples in the wall can expose him.

But there are two surprises. One is that Yin Shang went to Taixue very early and spent less time in his hometown, so not many people in the wall could recognize Yin Shang.

After the Taishan Army came to Yin's wall, there was no fierce criticism, so the confrontation between the disciples and the Yin clan was not so fierce. Even some disciples who knew Yin Shang's identity were afraid of being retaliated, so they There is no first Yin Shang.

Therefore, Yin Shang stayed in the Yin family wall as an ordinary Yin family member.

Because of the new land distribution policy, the Taishan Army redistributed all cultivated land under its rule, instead of only dividing the land of powerful people in Hebei in the past. Therefore, under the new policy, powerful people who have crossed the line can also Allotted to the ground.

Therefore, Yin Shang was allocated approximately 80 acres of land. Although there was no riverside land, it was more than enough to support himself and his mother.

Yin Shang also planned to stay dormant for this purpose. He was determined to study the scriptures well in his hometown, compile the scriptures and meanings he learned from Taixue into a book, and teach them to the pro-party tribesmen.

The experience in Taixue was not only about learning the classics and meanings, it also broadened Yin Shang's understanding and gave him a vivid understanding of the operation of power in the world.

In the center of power in Kyoto, Yin Shang was surrounded by people of similar status to him, and there was a core among them, a member of the Wei family.

It was also by the side of the Wei family that the children of aristocratic families such as Yin Shang understood the true man.

The Wei family member once told Yin Shang and the others that this big man was made up of circles, and the aristocratic families like them were also distributed inside and outside the circles.

Among them, the Gyeonggi aristocratic families are undoubtedly the innermost circle. Ninety-nine percent of the most prestigious families in the world will buy properties and settle on both sides of Gyeonggi.

Even though these families may come from various places, the children of these core families will travel thousands of miles to Gyeonggi to start their own branch.

Why? Isn't it because the Gyeonggi region is the most prosperous and the most central place of power in the Han Dynasty?

To be more specific, Gyeonggi is the city in the world, and everyone else is a country person.

And outside the circle of these Gyeonggi aristocratic families, there is another circle, that is, Ji, Qing, Yan, Yu, Jing and other places around Gyeonggi.

These are equivalent to being in the inner ring of the power circle, and they are also places where some famous families in the Han Dynasty are relatively concentrated. After all, the Gyeonggi region is too deeply involved, so the places that produce talents are mostly in the Gyeonggi belt.

Moreover, many of the families in these places are older than the Gyeonggi families, such as the Yingchuan Han family. Isn’t their family descended from the King of Han? I don’t know how long he became prosperous before the nobles of Gyeonggi Province.

But unfortunately, these old families that can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period are not the core of power in the Han Dynasty.

Just because they are also a group of people that the Han Dynasty is wary of, and they learned Confucianism much later than the Gyeonggi nobles, so they are not as powerful as the latter.

But in the outer ring outside the Gyeonggi belt, there are the lowest group in the family circle. They are places like Jiangdong, Lianghuai, and Yizhou.

For example, the four Koto masters can be said to be like local emperors in Koto, but in the Kyoto academic circle, they are just listening to classes outside the door with students from Qianzhou.

As for places such as You, Bing, Liang, and Jiao, let alone any circles. In the Han family circle, they are almost the same as barbarians, and they are not even worthy of being despised.

Yin Shang was deeply fascinated by the family circle theory mentioned by the Wei family. He felt that it was no wonder that the Wei family had been in the center of power for so long. Their understanding was indeed not comparable to that of the Yin family.

He humiliated himself and served the Wei family as his elder brother. In the end, he did learn from the Wei family the secrets of the family that had lasted for thousands of years.

Wei Jiazi told him that if the family's reputation is to be maintained, the most important thing is to have family rules.

The family law here is not the family's legal system, but the Confucian classics used to pass down the family. Only with profound attainments in family law can we lay a cultural foundation for the family.

As long as the children in the family do not lose the family law, it is natural for relatives to become officials.

Because being an official requires certain cultural resources, it is not enough to just be able to read and write. You must also have your own understanding and thinking, so that you can be wise.

Using the wisdom of aristocratic families to enlighten the ignorance of Guizhou leaders, isn't it natural for the former to lead the latter?

Once you become an official, you can accumulate local reputation. This reputation can not only open up a future for yourself, but also accumulate enough political prestige for your family.

Once you have the reputation of a township, a county, or a county, your family will be formed. As long as you build up your family's reputation, it will be a matter of course whether it's promoting filial piety or having talented retainers defect to you.

And once the clan members continue to produce filial and honest people who can serve as officials, and a steady stream of children from poor families come to join the family, the family's reputation will be even greater.

And these two are mutually reinforcing. The greater the reputation, the more people will defect to it, the more talents will be produced, the more famous it will become, and in the end, more people will defect to it.

In this case, once the family starts to become prosperous, it will enter a fast lane of development.

These secrets are actually just the same thing when spoken out, but if there is no one to help pierce this layer of window paper, it is really rare to figure it out on your own.

There are always too many people in this world who are confused by the surface. They understand how power works, but few people can understand why power works in this way, but in other forms.

This difference in understanding often determines the development of the two families.

Now, Yin Shang knows these secrets and has a blueprint for restarting the family in the future, which is to develop the Yin family's own family methods and sow this first handful of soil for the future peak of ten thousand feet.

Therefore, he studied behind closed doors and ignored the outside world. But on this day, his door was knocked open by a group of people.

Then, he was dragged to the township commune office.

There, he was told that he had killed Zhao Huo.

Zhao Huo?

who is he?

A small case led to a whole revolution.
