Chapter 871: Hongmen Banquet, shoveling **** (Part 1) [Please ask for monthly tickets]


    Chen Tang hit the nail on the head.


    Xie Qi''s expression almost broke into pieces, his eyes were vague, and his head was unnaturally lowered. He knew that he could not hide it from his lord, but he didn''t expect that his lord would react so quickly. As soon as he met, he exposed his plan: "Family embarrassment, let the lord laugh."


    He smiled awkwardly and did not dare to look Chen Tang in his eyes.


    The aristocratic families occasionally produce a few naive Erwuzi, but never Erwuzi is the head of the family. If it weren''t for the big mess of Xie''s family, Xie Qi, as the nominal head of the Xie family, wouldn''t have given up. He couldn''t hold on, so he had no choice!


    It happened that the lord wanted to steal the meat from the aristocratic family''s mouth.


    Xie Qixin made up his mind and simply made suggestions that shocked everyone present. They will be the first day of the New Year first, don’t blame him for being the fifteenth day of the New Year!


    but-


    What he didn''t expect was that Chen Tang could guess most of the truth through just a few information: "The Shizang couple had not been in contact with tribe affairs for many years, and they were all managed by the seniors of several tribes?"


    Xie Qi nodded: "Yes."


    Chen Tang said: "What are the problems with these elders?"


    Xie Qi: “…”


    Chen Tang is concerned: "Has he become a thief?"


    Xie Qi: “…”


    Chen Tang saw that he was silent one after another, and knew that he was guessing it.


    A large family is like a tree.


    The main trunk is the tree trunk, and the branches next to the small trunk are the branches.


    Most of the property is inherited by the bulk, including land, shops, gold, silver and treasures, valuable ancient paintings and books... These do not belong to the public in name, but to the bulk lineage. As expected, it is only passed down among the main lines of the corpus. The small clan’s side branches rely on themselves to work hard, and good relationships can be achieved by relying on family connections. If you have good abilities and live well, you still need family support if you have poor abilities. The income from the Shudeng Field is used for the study of children in the clan, and the income from the sacrifice field is used for sacrifice and support of elderly people...


    Similar places include ancestral hall fields, tomb fields, and charity fields...


    All of these are tribe fields!


    It belongs to the whole family.


    After the family resources are developed, children from ordinary families will purchase family land to more or less, and repeat the cycle to ensure that the family will live forever. It is impossible to guarantee that everyone will be rich and noble, but it also gives the opportunity to rise. This process requires generations of accumulation, and the accumulation speed is slow. At least in this chaotic world where everyone is in danger, it is slow.


    Therefore, the small branch of the clan will also be jealous of the major branch.


    Xie Qi and his wife worked as hostages for several years, and had only three daughters for many years. The family''s power inevitably fell into the hands of the elders. The assets belonging to the bulk of the group quietly flowed into the small group and public accounts of the side branches, and perhaps the person who handled the company embezzled and hid privately. Xie Qi went back to check the account this time, and most of the time he found that the bulk was embezzled and eaten into an empty shell, and there were only a few children left in the assets that could be passed on to his daughter.


    As the head of the family, as the father—


    It would be strange if Xie Qi is not angry and crazy.


    In addition, he had conflicts with the Xie clan, so he threw it away! Since he doesn''t let his life be, no one can think about it! Chen Tang and Xie Qi communicated with each other with their eyes.


    Xie Qi couldn''t hold on to explain everything.


    Chen Tang''s guess was quite the same, but it was two things to crush the Camel''s last two straws. One was that Xie Qi accidentally discovered that a clan member of the Xie family had bribed the people around Zheng Qiao in order to eat the big family and tried to kill people with a knife; the other was that Xie Qi went back this time and wanted to write the family tree of the three daughters in the clan, and made the eldest daughter the clan son, and the heir of the big family, which was denied.


    Even though Xie Qi explained that his eldest daughter was very talented and could definitely be competent for the head of the family when she grew up, several clan elders refused on the grounds that "this is a hen, Si Chen", and said, "Women are born unable to practice, but now they can practice suddenly. How can they ensure that they cannot practice suddenly?" He also asked Xie Qi''s daughter to marry and be a daughter-in-law. She is no longer a child of the Xie family. Wouldn''t she use Xie''s family as a dowry and insist on refusing! No matter how much Xie Qi fights, they can''t help but arrange a son for Xie Qi.


    [It is inappropriate for the head of the family to refuse to take a concubine. It is not appropriate to have no male heir to the family. 】


    [The head of the family and the mistress have a deep relationship, so it is difficult for us to break up. These children are a few descendants of the tribe. They are talented and comprehensible. It is better to choose one to keep them in the knees. They are young and can be raised even after they are well raised. 】


    Xie Qi is really discouraged now!


    Complete the work and rush back with something angrily.


    Because Xie Qi''s experience was very miserable and frustrated, Chen Tang, as the lord, must have empathy and cannot laugh out loud on the spot. After enduring for a long time, he expressed his serious expression: "Shizang''s suggestion is good, but I''m worried that other heads of the family will not agree..."


    That would definitely not be agreed.


    Chen Tang said again: "I don''t want to agree either."


    The existence of clan fields will stabilize and strengthen the clan power. The larger the clan, the more you can do whatever you want in a place and bully others with your power! The scale is large enough, and any official who comes to serve has to pay a dock, after all, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away.


    Xie Qi was shocked, but quickly restrained.


    Chen Tang rubbed his eyebrows, and had a general plan in his heart, and then he smiled: "What are the tribe fields for various names? Isn''t it just to worship ancestors, help the tribes and widows, so that children can have learning? If the government office can solve all these problems, there is no need for tribe fields to exist, right? The aristocratic family fields can only help the elderly and weak, and the world can help the common people in the world!"


    "Whether the children of the clan or the people are the same for me, they must be treated equally."


    Xie Qi''s mind was buzzing, and his heart was irritated.


    I didn’t know what my lord had for a moment.


    She doesn’t really want to confiscate all the clan fields, right?


    Chen Tang didn''t give him too much time to think about it, and said to himself: "Since these local families want to bargain with me, let''s hold a Hongmen banquet... No, an ordinary banquet for guests, everyone sit down and discuss it. There is nothing that cannot be discussed face to face! If so, it is definitely not enough people who hide in the dark! Yes?"


    Xie Qi: “…”


    Everyone: “…”


    The lord is too lazy to cover up the basic cover!


    Chen Tang smiled and threw the news from Lin Feng on the table, waved to someone to draft an invitation, and invited the heads of families of all sizes to participate, so that she could recognize her familiarity! Who won''t come?


    "That''s not to give face to the sixteenth class!"


    "I''ll come to invite them in person!"


    It’s uncertain whether to come over vertically or horizontally.


    Everyone bowed and said, "Yes."


    Others write the invitations, but Chen Tang still has to cover the seal with the heart of the text and continue to work after the matter is finished. She has been so busy that she hit the back of the head recently. The family matter is just one of them, and this is the result of Chen Tang''s restraining murderous intentions.


    If you really make her angry, it is not impossible to kill her from top to bottom! Chen Tang was not afraid that they would unite to fight her. Although her troops were now dispersed, it would take only a few days to integrate the troops. They dare to touch the bottom line again, and the next time they will be bloody.


    In addition to the land in the hands of these aristocratic families, there are also news from the government offices sent back from Yan and Gan provinces. Chen Tang saw more than a dozen official systems from dozens of counties and counties, and the power of various titles and ranks was even more messy. The information sent back made her head look big.


    "Isn''t He Yin and Long Wu very unified?"


    Why are you so magical when you go to Yanzhou and Ganzhou?


    Because of Qin Li''s way of scholars, Chen Tang did not let him go anywhere else on a business trip. Hearing Chen Tang’s complaints about these contents, Qin Li smiled and said, “At the same time in the Northwest Continent, thirty-six countries appeared together, and each small country had its own system.”


    Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp.


    The shrimps are in the belly of the small fish, and the small fish is in the belly of the big fish. Neither the shrimps nor the small fish are completely digested, and the big fish is swallowed by the bigger fish. It is normal for the local official system to be chaotic, because often the previous country''s official position has not yet adapted to it, and the next country''s new official position has been dropped. The result of frequent changes is that many local officials are misplaced, and people continue to work after changing their names.


    Longwu and Heyin were unified because they were both early governing places in the Xin Kingdom, while most areas of Yanzhou and Ganzhou were once seven or eight scattered small countries. Chen Tang twitched hard. “But Zheng Qiao…”


    Yanzhou and Ganzhou have been in Zheng Qiao''s hands for four or five years.


    "Is Zheng Qiao like someone who knows how to deal with these issues?"


    Qin Li asked a sharp question.


    Chen Tang: “…”


    For Zheng Qiao''s peerless crazy criticism, whether it is Xin or Geng, in his eyes, the country is a system full of bugs. As long as the system can still run, there is no need to worry about how it runs. Let''s talk about whether this country is operating?


    As long as it can run, nothing else is needed.


    Hehe, Zheng Qiao doesn’t have to worry about it.


    But she has to take care of it (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻


    Chen Tang grabbed the brand new bronze table, and for a moment of excitement, unconsciously increasing the strength of his fingers, leaving fingerprints that were clearly visible on it. His expression gradually became ferocious and distorted, and the blue veins on his forehead were also squirming darkly. The strong resentment could hold the ghost to death: "The others were planting trees and then enjoying the coolness. Why was it my turn to shovel the **** when I was the predecessor? "


    Qin Li ignored Chen Tang''s extraordinary words.


    As a lord, how can you not be crazy?


    Aristocratic families in various places have just digested the information from Lin''s family, and then received invitations from Chen Tang. The handwriting of the invitation and the threatening [the inner warehouse burned into beautiful ashes, and the sky streets were all covered with the bones of the ministers] came from one person''s handwriting. He subconsciously thought that this was written by Chen Tang, and he subconsciously trembled - they all paid the donation, it''s not over yet, right?


    When you see the content of the invitation clearly, everyone feels like they are losing their parents.


    At the beginning of the invitation, I sincerely thanked all the families for their generous donations. Chen Tang thanked all the families for their great righteousness for the sake of the people, and used the excuse to invite them to attend the banquet. Although he did not ask the head of the family to pass by, the meaning behind the black and white words was very clear.


    The head of the family may not go, but must go to the person who can make the decision.


    The least you have to be the second-in-command.


    All the families were in a bleak state, and they dared not discuss countermeasures this time.


    There are also those who are stubborn and want to commit suicide and let others go to it for themselves - the fool also knows that this is a Hongmen banquet, and it is very likely that they will not be able to come back if they go, but if they don''t go, they will really weigh five kilograms. But the plan has not been implemented yet, and the troops in various places have been completely taken over by Chen Tang''s people. These soldiers and horses practice every now and then, using the streets in front of each family as a runway to practice.


    [One two one, one two one! 】


    Before dawn, I started running and having fun in an orderly manner.


    【One, two, three, four —】


    Not to mention the head of the family, even the female family members of the house in the house heard it.


    In addition to running and training troops before dawn, the training instructor also used the street as a martial arts field. Every now and then, he had to bring more than a hundred men of the last ranks to learn how to use martial arts to create weapons, practice bent bows and arrows, and from time to time, arrows leaked across the courtyard wall.


    The head of the aristocratic family: “…”


    Chen Tang did nothing, and she said nothing.


    But the head of the aristocratic family cannot pretend that she did nothing and said nothing.


    After the last riot, Chen Tang thoroughly found out the location of the private military corps raised by each farm, including the secret contents of scale and combat power. It is inconvenient for each family to contact each other. Once someone makes a move, the farm will have a fire and die several people.


    If you cannot contact, you will naturally be unable to unite.


    Losing the protection of force is the lamb to be slaughtered.


    So, the heads of each family hesitated for a few days and set off on their own.


    They didn''t dare to delay on the road, and they all arrived within the prescribed time. Strangely, the closest and the farthest distance, arrived on the same day. Many heads of family have in-laws and know each other. On the verge of caution, I don’t even dare to have a conversation.


    They also saw Chen Tang for the first time.


    The rumored monster is neither male nor female.


    In terms of appearance, he is indeed no less than Zheng Qiao.


    Chen Tang walked to the main seat under the **** of his personal guards, and raised his hand to greet the heads of the aristocratic families who looked like vegetables: "You guys, you have worked hard in the morning, and you have worked **** the boat and the car. Did you sleep well last night?"


    Because the place was not big enough, Chen Tang simply placed the banquet in the martial arts training ground, and each food table had a small sign with the names of each family''s owners. The original intention was to facilitate them to find a location, but in the eyes of each family, it was a small spiritual card.


    Everyone''s expressions were even worse: "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your concern."


    "If you have any careless people, you must say it out."


    Heads of each family: “…”


    At this time, someone noticed that the food table had no dish except the Xiaoling Card, and it was empty! This scene made several people with sensitive minds think of a certain allusion to the spirit of the word. They remained silent on their faces and were sweating in secret.


    Papapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapapa


    Following a series of burly and sturdy military men came over with their plates. Their arms were thicker than the thighs of the heads. When they leaned over to put the dishes down, the huge black shadows cast all over the heads, with swords hanging around their waists.


    Chen Tang said a little apologetically: "You all know that Chen is born in a rash family and has a difficult time starting a family. He has long been accustomed to simple days and does not like extravagance. He does not raise dancers and actors in the mansion. Even the soldiers under the tent helped the guests. Haha, the conditions are crude, so they will definitely not be as gentle as those in the mansion. It is rude."


    The heads of each family had no blood on their faces.


    They couldn''t help but wonder what blood relationship Chen Tang and Zheng Qiao are. Why do they both like to be sarcastic in front of others?


    No-


    Zheng Qiao is not as good as playing.


    They knew that this was the Hongmen Banquet, and Chen Tang also knew that they knew that this was the Hongmen Banquet, but they really didn''t expect that Chen Tang would put the knife and axe driver directly on the surface. Is this too lazy to disguise? But no one dared to scold the princes.


    Chen Tang seemed to have not seen how broken their spirits were. He said, "Eat and drink well" and his appetite was wide open.


    Heads of each family: “…”


    Well, not everyone has no appetite.


    There is someone in Lingzhou family who is particularly conspicuous.


    The old man with white hair and beard closed his eyes and rested.


    Someone around him was feasting.
