Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 114
However, the old man was old and strong, and he became even more furious after hearing the words: "If he is not an old disciple of Ji Guo, I would not mention this matter! A mere boy should be reading scriptures and poems in the book hut, but what did he do? Do it yourself, control the inside and outside, how can there be no one in my family, I need a little boy to take charge!"

"Uncle's words are just right. The boy is restless in the room, and his words and deeds are indiscriminate. But if it weren't for this, I wouldn't know that Mi Feng at home would fatten up many moths!"

As Shen Zhezi said, he took out a book scroll from his pocket and placed it in front of the old man's case.

The old man opened the scroll angrily, only to see that there were many records on it, but his two sons had many crimes of corruption in the clan, and the amount was so large that even he was shocked!

Shen Chong tilted his head slightly and said, "Can Uncle San show me this book?"

The old man's face changed suddenly after hearing the words, he stretched out his hand and tore the scroll to pieces, then he pointed his fingers and yelled angrily: "He is your son, and he has many methods to corrupt people's innocence, don't you know! Shiju, what did you want to do in previous years?" For important matters, everyone in the family will follow, without any disagreement. Now you have to be a Fang Bo, with a high position and authority, but you exclude your close relatives, how can it not be chilling..."

Shen Zhezi hates this kind of person the most. If you talk about evidence, he will talk about feelings. If you talk about feelings, he will talk about interests.

However, these words hit Shen Chong's weakness. What is the meaning of clan?It is to hold together to keep warm, and make a promise of wealth together.Now that the Shen family has become prominent in the world, it is time for the members of the clan to share the benefits and enjoy the dividends brought about by the revitalization of the family business.

But it is true to say so, but in fact the momentum of the Shen family's rise has not declined, at least in Kuaiji, there is still a huge potential that has not yet been tapped.Now it is far from the time to sit down and discuss meritorious deeds, it is time to gather all the manpower and material resources of the family, go all out and continue to move forward!

The conflict within the Shen family lies in the contradiction between the visionary and the short-sighted.Some people can see a larger and achievable vision, while others only see the benefits that have already been obtained.This kind of contradiction is the most difficult to reconcile, and it is even more difficult to deal with the clan relationship.

Since the death of his father, Shen Chong has been the head of the family.He has a deeper understanding of the various thoughts of the tribesmen.The clan uncle in front of him said with certainty that he was united in the big event, but in fact, besides him, who else knew everything about the situation at that time?
For the first time, he came from Luanwangdun. Because of his lack of prestige, he couldn't mobilize all the materials in the clan. He had to mint coins privately in Longxi to raise enough military use.It is not uncommon for the clansmen to help each other out of righteousness, and now they are working under his command, each with their own achievements.

Those who stayed in the old house either did not approve of what he did, or had no military talent, or were worried about being implicated and looked on coldly.Now jump out and say that everyone follows, there is no difference?Although there is depression in his heart, if he says something wrong, it will cause controversy.

He has been deeply troubled by it, and now his son's management of the family is being questioned for no reason, and the indignation in his heart can be imagined.However, he couldn't get angry, because these people were not his enemies, but his blood relatives!
Seeing his father groaning silently, Shen Zhezi could probably guess the entanglement in his heart.The reason why he didn't announce the details of the capture in the battle with the Yan family was that on the one hand, he wanted to stir up trouble among these tribesmen with their own thoughts, and on the other hand, he didn't dare to make it public.

Such a large amount of wealth will definitely make it impossible for anyone to hold on to themselves.Once it is made public, if he wants to mobilize and use it according to his own ideas, there will be countless pairs of eyes staring at it.It is almost impossible to gather strength to achieve the current situation!
Goods can play a role only when they are spent, but everyone has a different understanding of how to spend them.For some people, a luxurious car, rich food and clothing, is the bliss of life, no more pursuit!
But since the year before last, he has turned around from north to south at the age of eight, and has turned the world around several times when he was on the verge of extinction. So far, he has made some achievements, and many painstaking efforts have been made. Is it for the extravagant enjoyment of these people who sit on their own?

In such a paradoxical world, everything must be compromised and twists and turns.Dealing with Qiaomen and Nanren already had to rack his brains, but when he returned home, would he still be at the mercy of these short-sighted people?

Compared with the entanglement of the old man, Shen Zhezi's idea is very simple, everyone has his own ambition, and he will never force it!The Shen clan has thousands of relatives, and it is impossible to say that everyone in the clan is virtuous.But if it is said that everyone is short-sighted, it is absolutely impossible for the Shen family to develop into the current situation.Since we can't agree with each other, how can we live separately!

It's not that the Shen family has no divisions, the moon will lose when the moon is full, and the water will overflow when the water is full. The Shen family is unparalleled at the moment, and it is a good thing to use the division to cool down the impetuous people.

As soon as he thought of this, Shen Zhezi took a step forward and said, "Why does my uncle say this? Although my father is a Fang Bo, there are many children in the family who live in the county. How can we exclude close relatives? My family has thousands of close relatives. It is only fair if everyone makes a copy? Because I am young, I don’t know if there is such a person in the world, can my uncle teach me?”

Hearing this, some people in the hall couldn't help laughing out loud, there is such a person in the world, and that is the emperor!
The old man was overwhelmed by these words, and didn't know how to refute. His beard trembled with anger, and he just pointed at Shen Zhezi and said loudly: "There is no room for your children to talk about what the elders say!"

"Within one household, there are no doubts. Why should the third uncle blame the children? Why do you have any grievances in your heart? You may as well speak up. Since the funeral of the head of the family, I have always been trembling, lest I will lose. The elders have resentment, and the blame is all on me. "

Shen Chong said, but his tone was gloomy. Anyone who was familiar with him in the hall knew that he was in an extremely bad mood at this time: "The fool has been in the army for a long time, but he only knows what to say and dare to act. Today, everyone is gathered here. Please try to tell the child's crime. If it is true, I will kill myself! If it is a false accusation, the person who speaks will be punished!"

Hearing Shen Chong's decisive statement, everyone gasped. The majesty of this patriarch was not inherited from blood, but was born naturally from time to time.Now that he is forced to say such words, one can imagine the indignation in his heart!

"Scholar's residence, even if there are disputes within the gate, why do they come to this!"

"Uncle Wu, don't need to say too much! My son is in his prime, and he takes on the responsibility of the family leader. If he doesn't try his best to deal with it, how can we sit in peace! However, the old merits are not worth the new crime. If he harms my people, the family law will not tolerate it." ! For the father to act on his behalf, it is reasonable!"

Shen Chong still looked solemn and unmoved, but his cold gaze wandered over the faces of everyone in the hall.These people usually have no lack of resentment towards Shen Zhezi, but they also know where their crimes are, and no one dares to speak for a while.

Seeing this, the old man in the third row became even more furious, and looked at his son frequently.

The middle-aged man was forced by his father's gaze, so he finally stepped forward and said to Shen Chong: "Second brother can uphold justice, that's the best. I heard that Zhezi went down to the stream with two hundred hectares of paddy fields to replace ten hectares south of Tiaoxi stream. Tandi, I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Shen Zhezi had already made thorough preparations, and after hearing the words, he summoned his servants into the hall, and found two out of a stack of appointment books in the brocade box, handed one of them forward, and asked, "What did Uncle Thirteen say? , but this place?"

The man had heard it from hearsay and didn't know the inside story. Seeing that Shen Zhezi was so stupid that he sent the transaction agreement, Dang even was overjoyed, showed the agreement to everyone, pointed at Shen Zhezi and laughed, "The evidence is convincing, what else do you have?" Prevarication?"

Shen Zhezi sneered, but showed the other letter of agreement to everyone: "These two hundred hectares of land, I will take them in and let me take them out, without damaging the traces of the clan, what's wrong?"

The two letters of agreement clearly explained the ins and outs of the acres of land. Although everyone felt sorry for the two hundred hectares of fertile land, they didn't know how to blame Shen Zhezi for a while.

"Pull it down, twenty lashes!"

Shen Chong patted the table in the hall, and said calmly: "Everyone can continue to speak!"

Seeing that everyone was silent, and his son was dragged down with his arms cut behind his back, the old man who made the most trouble couldn't hold back, he stood up suddenly, and shouted angrily: "You father and son colluded, how can you give others a chance! Replacement, the details were kept from everyone by you son, how can the rest know all about it! I don’t know how much of my clan’s property has been squandered!”

What you've been waiting for!

Shen Chong took the account book that Shen Zhezi handed over to him on the case, and ordered his servants to say: "Take the booklet of the clan property, and I will take over the clan property, and you can check it one by one. One sword. If it is short of a hundred hectares, it will be punished with ten swords! If you die by the sword, you will be treated like no other!"

Hearing Shen Chong's murderous words, even if everyone wanted to check the accounts, very few people dared to step forward at this moment.Only the old man didn't believe it, and when he got the booklet, he leaned on the case and compared the two books carefully to calculate and check.

Nowadays, the public property of the clan is mainly farmland.According to a certain ratio, each family entrusts the land property to the clan for centralized management, and as for the harvest, it is put into the public treasury to maintain the operation and consumption of the entire family.The Shen family's routine rule for many years is to attribute [-]% of the property to the Zongzhong.However, because many clansmen were too lazy to take care of the property, they simply entrusted all the land, so that they could borrow the human and animal power of the clan to earn a share.

Shen Zhezi saw that the old man was extremely focused on calculations, and couldn't help but smile in his heart. He has the most professional accounting team, and it is easy to make a beautiful account.Not to mention that he didn't touch much of the property at all, even if he embezzled [-] to [-] percent, how could he figure it out based on the level of this old man.

Time passed quietly, seeing that the old man was sweating profusely, it must have been a long time since he found any omissions.Gradually, some people couldn't hold back and stepped forward to help count.As more and more people joined, it took nearly two hours before the total amount was finally calculated. Instead of a shortage of acres, there were hundreds of hectares more!
"How could this be? It's impossible! That child replaced a large amount of land. It's obvious to all. How could there be no shortage!"

Shen Zhezi sneered unceremoniously: "That's why I can manage the family business, but my uncle can only be honored! I have no shame in my admiration, so why should I be afraid of people's words! Now that I have said so much today, I will insist on my innocence! How about Zongzhong?" Buying property requires your own strategy. If you have any doubts, you can find out today and here! Whether you settle the accounts or check the land according to the accounts, it’s all up to you. But if someone still sins against me after today , can't tolerate each other as a family, don't blame me for not being sympathetic!"

Hearing Shen Zhezi's statement, everyone was certain that something was wrong, but they couldn't find it.The old man pushed the account, and shouted angrily: "Let's not talk about this matter. I fought with Yan's a few days ago. Why didn't the captured one go into the clan's property?"

"Uncle asked me why I didn't enter the family property? Then I will explain to you one by one clearly, where did these seizures go!"

Shen Zhezi beckoned, and someone presented a roll of accounts. He opened it and read aloud in the hall: "Mr. Yan seized it. Recently, there were [-] catties of gold cakes, [-] catties of silver, and more than [-] coins in my uncle's house. Three thousand pieces of silk..."

Following Shen Zhezi's reading aloud, everyone in the hall gasped, and when they looked at the old man again, their expressions were different.This old guy clamored so viciously, and his attacks were even darker. Without everyone knowing, he had already included so much property!

"Nonsense, nonsense! I have never seen any of these treasures!" The old man waved his arms and interrupted Shen Zhezi's recitation, already looking desperate.

Shen Zhezi closed the account and pointed to the jade stick behind the old man: "Since my uncle is gone, where did the water and soil nourish this jade stick? As for the other wealth, uncle can ask his two uncles and cousins, they should know where they are going Where."

Seeing that the family's expressions changed, the meaning was self-evident.There are also some people who have withdrawn money from Longxi Village, and they can't feel at ease right now.

Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Shen Zhezi put away the accounts and stopped reading.He knows how much Yan has seized. Shen Zhezi is not embarrassed when these people come to ask for it. What he really uses is various materials.As for these money silks and the like, they also spread out, anyway, sooner or later they will flow back into their hands.

Seeing that everyone was speechless, Shen Chong said slowly: "Everyone in the trusteeship sect, but you are worried and can't be at ease. This is my fault. As for this matter, I have lost my face and humiliated my ancestors! Fortunately, it was only noisy in the In the door, it was never leaked outside the door. But no matter what, I cannot absolve myself of the blame. If any clan members still have doubts and don’t want to trust each other, they can decide it inside the door!”

Hearing what Shen Chong said, everyone was shocked, this is going to divide the clan!

In the past, they had a lot of trouble, but they just felt that the Shen family was famous nowadays, but they could not enjoy the treatment that matched the family status. They blamed Shen Zhezi for causing trouble, and did not reflect on their own shortcomings.At this time, once faced with such a choice, I suddenly realized that once I leave the clan, I am nothing!

It doesn't mean that they will become ordinary people if they leave their clan.The Shen family had experienced division of clans once before. On top of the clans, there were clans, and besides the clans, there was a clan.They are members of the Wu Xingshen clan, this cannot be changed, but once they leave the clan, although they can still enjoy the fame brought by the prefect family, they can no longer enjoy the direct benefits brought by the prosperity of the Dongzong.

Shen's Dongzong's rising momentum is swift and violent, and everyone can see it. It would be a foolish act to abandon the ship under such a situation!However, the relationship between the two has become so tense, and it is inevitable that they worry about being treated differently in the future.It is really difficult to decide whether to escape or not.

Seeing that these people were silent, Shen Zhezi was a little anxious.The root of today's branch clan can be said to have been doomed since he checked the fields the year before last. The Shen family Dongzong must streamline and eliminate some people in order to be more sensitive to deal with the increasingly turbulent situation in the future.He used various means to select this group of people. How could they be allowed to back down when the situation came to an end!
　I had already fallen asleep, but saw that some book friends expressed their incomprehension about the sect, and stayed up late to write until now.It has already been discussed in the previous article that the blood lineage of the aristocratic family is more similar to the relationship of cooperation with each other in this era.It should be after the Dachang of Neo Confucianism that the concept of clan really rose to the level of belief.The reason for this kind of misunderstanding is probably that there are too many descriptions of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.In this day and age, it is not uncommon for people to have conflicts of political opinions and interests, and even hostility to each other.Not to mention the Langya Wang family that has been described very clearly in the book, the entire second half of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, even the two dogs of the Taiyuan Wang family were almost out of their minds. . .
