Chapter 584

With the issuance of the edict, all powerful families in the world took action.

In the post-Han dynasty, or in other words, in any period, classes always existed.

The level of power between families always exists, and each family has its own dignitaries in different periods.

In the Later Han Dynasty, except for the Luo family in Zhaocheng.

On the land of the Central Plains, when it comes to the top rich and noble families, it is naturally headed by the five surnames and seven families that have been passed down for 300 years.

These five surnames and seven families established the second emperor's business, and they got too many benefits. They spent 300 years in a prosperous way.

But even among these seven schools, there are differences in their strengths and weaknesses.

Among them, the Lu family in Jimo and the Han family in Anyang were the strongest, and they also served as senior officials at the level of Sangong and Jiuqing in the Later Han Dynasty.

The Zhang family has been a descendant of Huang Laodao since its ancestor Zhang Liang. In the era when Confucianism dominated the mainstream, its natural influence was slightly weak.

However, Zhang's founding of Taoism is different from that of other families.

The Yinghou Luo family was still very prominent in the first two emperors of the Later Han Dynasty, but since the relatives and eunuchs began to control each other's government affairs, and could not understand the chaos in the court, they gradually became less prominent.

But Luo Chuan's turning out proved that Yinghou Luo's prestige is still there.

The Lanling Xiao family had a typical problem with their thinking. They fought with relatives and eunuchs separately, and naturally suffered heavy losses as a result.

If it weren't for the in-laws to help, the main line might be killed.

But it still leads to a shortage of talents in the clan, so it is constantly declining.

The autistic Lanling Xiao went to religion to seek spiritual sustenance.

The Huaiyin Han family is similar to the Lanling Xiao family. They occupy the local area and rarely enter the court. The Wu Xun family has no outstanding talents, and they are about to confuse themselves into the two thousand stone family.

These five surnames and seven families are indeed well-known, but in fact, except for the Jimo Lu family and the Anyang Han family, before Yinghou Luochuan was born and gained a huge reputation, they all belonged to typical local super wealthy families.

The key lies in the word place.

This is a super enhanced version of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs in the Tang Dynasty.

The Five Surnames and Seven Wangs in the Tang Dynasty were pure blowouts, not to mention the false hundreds of years of history, even if it is true, but it is only superficially famous and worshiped by the world.

In fact, the power is poor and pitiful. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty squeezed it at will, and the empress was killed. She didn't even dare to say a word, and she had to rush to get married with the prince. piece.

At least the five families of Luo, Lu, Han, and Zhang Xiao really have real power, fiefdoms, and subjects, and they don't just rely on their mouths to brag.

But since the name of the local giants is crowned, there will naturally be a central giant as a counterpart.

The most powerful and wealthy families in the Han Dynasty had to be the Confucian classics families who had served as Sangong for generations and controlled Taicao.

These Confucian families learned from Zhaocheng Luo's practice, and after combining Confucian knowledge, political resources, and land, they formed the ultimate body of Confucian families, Confucian clans.

Power flows from the bottom up.

Power has nothing to do with generations.

Power has nothing to do with being famous all over the world.

Power is only related to whether you can give benefits to your subordinates.

If it can't bring benefits to the subordinates, let alone the fourth generation and three generations, even the tenth generation and three generations are useless. This is why the Yinghouluo family is not as prominent as the other families, and it is still too principled.

The Confucian scholars served as senior officials such as Sangong and Jiuqing, which paved a huge network of relationships and in-laws, resulting in a monopoly.

Moreover, this kind of monopoly seems to be difficult to break at present, because those talented and humble scholars have all been absorbed into this kind of in-law network and relationship network.

In response to this situation, a poor family once reprimanded loudly: "If the world is like this, when will my poor family be able to stand up?"

Then a son from a wealthy family replied: "A son from a poor family, who was in a poor family for 13 years, once married a noble daughter, took office for eight years, was promoted to two thousand stones, and his family also became prominent, isn't this considered turning over?
I come from a wealthy family, and so far I am just a jobless man. If I can choose, I would like to be a man from a poor family. "

This dialogue has had a great impact, and the poor scholars in the world always feel that something is wrong, but they can't say it.

This story was even included by Luo Shi in "The History of the Later Han Dynasty", and it was also published nationwide.

Rockwell does not speak to this situation because the emergence of this in-law network is even unstoppable.

Randomly go to the world to pull out a person, the same position, whether to give it to your own person or to an outsider, you will choose to give it to your own person.

This is human nature, what can Rockwell say?

Until now, in the whole world, the most nepotism is the Rock family.

From the period of Bang and Zhou, when the ancestor Su Wang was entrusted with the enfeoffment, the surname Ji has occupied most of the country.

The difference is that the Luo family can guarantee the ability and morality of its own people, while other families cannot.

This is how the strength of the Confucian family comes from. If it can benefit the lower, naturally a large number of people will defect to it. The same is true for the emperor. It benefits the relatives, so the relatives work and benefit the eunuchs, so the eunuchs are obedient.

During the Bang and Zhou Dynasties, the subjects of the princes were called foreign ministers to the emperor, and they should be loyal to the princes between the princes and the emperor.

If a vassal wants to rebel, his courtiers inform the emperor, which is regarded as disloyalty.

Under the dual monarchy system, under the concept that the prefect is equal to the monarch, the benefits brought by this kind of recommendation and enlistment are extremely amazing.

If all the prefects and county magistrates in the world are former students and old officials, then there will be a question mark over who is the emperor.

Although it is impossible for any family to achieve this level, it is still possible to have disciples and old officials everywhere in the world.

Although this relationship is not as stable as it was during the Bangzhou period, after all, there is no legal support, but sometimes social concepts are a greater restraint.

Only those who are naturally extraordinary will break the rules and step on these rules.

This kind of person either became famous and achieved great things, or he was a lunatic who was completely crushed into ashes by the wheel of history.

This kind of family of Confucian classics is called "Luoyang wealthy family" by the world, because although they have prestige in the county, their main scope of activities is in Luoyang, and the direct line of the family also operates in Luoyang.

After all, Luoyang was the safest place in the Han Dynasty. They lived in counties and counties. If they encountered such a major event as the Taiping Uprising, they would probably be killed directly in the fields.

But staying in Luoyang, there will never be a lunatic who dares to kill the entire wealthy family.

The Jimo Lu family and the Anyang Han family are among the rich families in Luoyang, but only a few of these two families stay in Luoyang, and the other five families are not among them at all.

The matter of the party's imprisonment also involved the wealthy Luoyang family. During that period of time, it can be said that they suffered a huge blow.

After the loosening of the party shackles, these wealthy families in Luoyang can't wait to do some big things in Luoyang.

There must be no such thing as party imprisonment!

 It's cool to skip the Eastern Han Dynasty, but there are a lot of things missing, fo
