Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 708 The second clan goes to Jiangdong!
It is said that Yuan Shao led the Hebei army to attack Youzhou.

The reason why they dared to go north with such confidence was naturally because Cao Cao and Liu Bei south of Jizhou were unable to go north to attack.

Ever since Liu Bei was driven out of Qingzhou by Yuan Shao, he has been obsessed with taking back Qingzhou, but how easy is it?

Zhang Yan, an ally who attacked Cao Cao in the past, became Yuan Shao's vassal and was responsible for guarding Qingzhou for him.

The Lu family, a prominent family in Qingzhou, originally supported him, but when Yuan Shao took over Qingzhou, for the sake of family stability, the Lu family married Yuan Shao's son.

Today, the Lu family is divided into two, and one branch of the Linzi Lu family moved to Xuzhou with Liu Bei.

Qingzhou has changed a lot now, and it is no longer what it was when he first entered Qingzhou.

Cao Cao, on the other hand, began planning to seize the foundation of his hegemony from Yuan Shu when they met in Zhaocheng in the fifth year of Jian'an.

If there is any place in the world where wars are the most frequent, it must be between Cao Cao and Yuan Shu.

Yanzhou and Yuzhou are almost flat with no mountains or rivers blocking them.

Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou, as well as Yingchuan and other counties in Yuzhou, but Yuan Shu was able to compete with Cao Cao with just one county in Runan, and he was even able to hold Cao Cao in terms of money and food.

However, Yuan Shu, who clearly had the advantage in the army, suffered repeated defeats against Cao Cao's army in the past two years of war. As long as it was a field battle, Yuan Shu had never won.

Continuous failures caused Yuan Shu to lose all counties in Yuzhou except Runan County.

Among them, the one near Yanzhou was taken away by Cao Cao, and the one near Xuzhou was picked up by Liu Bei.

As compensation for Liu Bei not joining forces with Cao Cao to attack Yuan Shu.

Donghai County.

With Liu Bei leading a group of Qingzhou people here and re-employing the Mi family, the status of one family has become more embarrassing.

That is the Lanling Xiao family.

The Xiao family in Lanling, who had been rich since Xiao He, the Marquis of Feng, was only slightly better off than the Han family in Huaiyin among the five surnames.

Regardless of the names of the five surnamed families, in terms of current power, the Huaiyin Han family is a second-rate family, and the Lanling Xiao family is a second-rate family.

Compared with Yuan Xunchen and other families, these families are inferior.

Since Liu Bei entered Xuzhou, fierce conflicts broke out within the Lanling Xiao family.

It is a discussion about how to treat Liu Bei.

That was a few years ago, when Luo Qi and some Xuzhou nobles, led by the Mi family, welcomed Liu Bei into Xuzhou.

The Lanling Xiao family did not appear at that time.

Later, Liu Bei entered the Xiao family in Lanling, Donghai County, and the debate came to some results.

Some tribesmen went to join Liu Bei.

But it has to be said that it was too late to join the family, and even the Fouhou family could not occupy the core.

Moreover, this generation of the Fouhou family does not have such extremely talented children.

Fortunately, the Lanling Xiao family had already been prepared for this after hundreds of years of experience in the Later Han Dynasty.

Apart from the Luo family, where else can any aristocratic family produce great talents from generation to generation?

As long as the lintel of the family can be maintained, outstanding children will always appear and lead the family to prosperity for another hundred years.

The Huaiyin Han family thought the same way.

At the same time, these two families also sent a large number of their children south to Jiangdong.

The reason is very simple. Xuzhou is the place of the Four War. Judging from past experience, it must be a raging war.

How much damage did the war cause to the aristocratic family?
Just look at the Lu family in Linzi now. During the several years of war in Qingzhou, half of the Lu family in Linzi died.

Now only Jiangdong and Jingzhou can be regarded as a pure land.

The Xiao family of Lanling and the Han family of Huaiyin have a very close relationship with the six surnames of Wu County, and they have arranged their backup plans early.

When Luo Chu took control of Jiangdong, the Xiao family and the Han family were overjoyed. Over the years, they continued to sell off Xuzhou's assets and then purchased fields, shops, etc. in Jiangdong.

Seven years after Jian'an, after years of preparations, the two families finally reached the final step, which was to migrate their tribesmen.

Mi Zhen, who was in charge of the Xuzhou Chamber of Commerce, was quite aware of the movements of the Xiao and Han families.

She and Luo Qi went to the state government office hand in hand and reported it to Liu Bei.

Faced with this matter, Liu Bei was silent for a long time and looked up at the sky.

To say that what Xiao and Han did was not excessive, they only moved half of their people.

Today's noble families all make bets separately, and even Liu Bei's wife, the Lu family, does this.

But this is after all the House of Fouhou and Huaiyinhou. What these two families did was very embarrassing for Liu Bei, who was determined to return to the path of Guangwu.

Everyone in the room was silent. Zhang Fei slapped the table and roared: "Brother, I'm going to kidnap the heads of the Xiao family and the Han family!"

Liu Bei waved his hand, and finally just sighed: "I can't get the complete loyalty of the Xiao family of Lanling and the Han family of Huaiyin, who can blame me?
This is my lack of prestige.

This is a lack of virtue on my part.

This is retribution since the Later Han Dynasty.

It is already a blessing to have the support of the British Marquis, so how can we ask for more? "

Luo Qi said in a relaxed tone: "My lord, there is no need to be like this, and the three generals do not need to be angry.

The so-called united will is a city.

A big family like Xiao Han has many people and is not of the same mind. Where in the world can there be a family with one heart?
Not to mention them, even in the Luo family where I am, the children in my family all went their separate ways because of different ambitions.

Today, someone in Xiao Han's family wants to go to Jiangdong. This is really normal.

Isn't this a good thing for people who are unwilling to leave Xuzhou with me?

The departure of these people will not affect the children of the second Xiao Han family who have long since surrendered to the lord. Even if these children know the lord's statement today, they will be more loyal.

As the saying goes, misfortunes depend on blessings.

Lord, you should treat this matter well and don't worry. It will have no impact on my great cause of reviving the Han Dynasty. "

As soon as Luo Qi said this, everyone in the room looked much better, especially Liu Bei, whose previous disappointment disappeared.

No matter what, the Yinghou family still supports him unswervingly, and his brothers are by his side.

Compared to the past, I don’t know how much better I am, what else is there to be dissatisfied about?

Mi Zhu walked in quickly from outside, looked at Luo Qi and nodded slightly, and the two quickly exchanged a look.

Then he bowed to Liu Bei and said: "My lord, Young Master Xiao and Young Master Han want to see you."

Everyone was shocked, and Liu Bei quickly said: "Please come in quickly."

Outside the door, two men in their thirties came hand in hand. They walked to the threshold and kowtowed directly to Liu Bei in front of everyone.

Liu Bei was shocked again, but saw the two of them bowing and kowtowing three times, walking into the hall, kneeling on the ground, and crying: "My lord!"

At this time, how could Liu Bei not know why?

He walked down from the top, came to the two of them, helped them up, and said in a deep voice: "We should work hard in the future. Although you two are not the direct eldest son, you may not be able to achieve great things, and you may not be able to shine as the Marquis of Feng. The title of Marquis of Huaiyin."

The two of them bowed again and cried: "My lord is benevolent and righteous, and I am willing to die to prove it."

Liu Bei was busy trying to win people's hearts here, and the Xiao and Han families had already taken a large ship and headed for Jiangdong along the tributary of the Huai River.

Along the Yangtze River, there are thunderous waves crashing on the shore.

White waves slapped on the big ship, and the tall ship stood motionless.

The Xiao family and the Han family, who have been great nobles for so many years, have not only mastered some classics and military arts, but also have many skills in their hands.

Taking a closer look at the wealthy families in the world, they basically all study those technologies and knowledge. After all, these are the only people who have money and leisure.

Even without systematic theoretical guidance, a lot of things have been discovered through blind research.

On the south bank of the Yangtze River, the bridge is waiting quietly.

The Qiao family's position in Jiangdong is so special.

He was the head of the families in Jiangdong, but he was not limited to Jiangdong. He had extensive contacts. He was the leader of the two Xiao Han families who went to Jiangdong.

He has been working tirelessly to enhance the power of Jiangdong's aristocratic families, in terms of knowledge, quantity, and quality.

Jiangdong must be built into an iron barrel formation that no one dares to invade.

Especially after he learned about Luo Chu's plan, he became even more diligent in bringing in nobles from other places.

After all, let’s not confuse the water in Jiangdong. After the new Lord of Jiangdong takes office, what if the Wujun nobles are attacked?
He just wants to hide quietly in the dark and let the family continue to extend in Jiangdong, just like the Luo family.

With a heavy sound, the huge building boat docked. Qiaowei stepped forward to greet it and said with a loud smile: "You have finally arrived in Jiangdong."

Of course those who came were not Marquis Fou and Marquis Huaiyin. They were both quite old and not of the same generation as Qiao Wei.

The person who came here was the eldest son of the two, who came to Jiangdong to reestablish the family.

As for titles.

To put it bluntly, even the big man was about to die.

The Marquis of Fou and the Marquis of Huaiyin were in a semi-abandoned state after their households were reduced in the Later Han Dynasty. They were completely different from the Marquis of Ying and the Duke of Qi, and even worse than the Marquis of Liu and Anyang.

When the Marquis of Fou and Huaiyin died, they didn't even know where to inherit the title. Is it possible to go to Liu Xie to inherit the title?

That would be too ridiculous for the world.

Thinking about it, we all know that it is impossible for Cao Cao to give the titles of Marquis of Fou and Marquis of Huaiyin to subordinates of hostile forces.

At present, it seems that only those who defect to Cao Cao can inherit the title of marquis.

The remaining six families, including those with the title of Marquis of England, will immediately lose their title once the current holder of the title dies.

The title has been handed down for 300 years, but now even the person who conferred it can't be found. Isn't this a very sad thing?

The two of them stepped off the boat, clasped their fists and bowed, saying, "Mr. Qiao, can you take us two to see Master Chu first?

When you first arrive, you always have to meet the owner first. "

Qiao Wei glanced at the people who were filing down, waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's it, I'll be here tonight to help you two.

At the same time, I will invite Young Master Chu to come to the mansion and introduce you two. Don’t worry. "

The two of them smiled when they heard this. Young Master Chu was Qiao Wei's son-in-law, so it was easy to introduce them to him.

Moreover, Young Master Chu Nai is the legitimate son of Marquis Ying, and he belongs to the same family of the fifth surname, so he is somewhat affectionate.

As long as we stay safe in Jiangdong, we will do our best when it is time to do so.

With the natural dangers of the Yangtze River and the criss-crossing waterways, preserving the family is not a problem.

The arrival of the Xiao Han family to Jiangdong was quite an explosion. This was second only to Luo Chu's original visit to Jiangdong.

No matter how down-to-earth the Xiao and Han families are now, for example, the Han family in Huaiyin is only slightly better than the family with a family worth two thousand stones.

But in the world, these two families have immortal prestige. They are the five surnamed families who live together with the country!

A 300-year-old family!
Lu Han Xiao Zhang!

Except for the royal Liu family and the thousand-year-old Luo family, there is no one more noble than these four surnames.

Now there are actually two families who have come to Jiangdong, and the ones who come are not the bastards from the branch lineage, but the eldest son!
This shows what?
Who can say that our Jiangdong is a place with mountains and mountains?
After King Xiang failed to fight for the world, Jiangdong was taken seriously for the first time, and many nobles from the Central Plains came to Jiangdong to take root.

Luo Chu neither welcomed nor rejected the arrival of the second Xiao Han family.

With the current political ecology of Jiangdong and his plans for the future, no amount of nobles would have a big impact.

However, the arrival of the Xiao and Han families in Jiangdong is quite beneficial to the overall development of Jiangdong.

These two families have been developing for so many years, and there are really a lot of good things in the family.

Just taking out a little bit is enough to feed many families, and it is also good for the governance of Jiangdong.

Qiaofuzhong.

Luo Chu and Xiao Qiao came to attend the banquet. As soon as Xiao Qiao entered the mansion, he wanted to go and get busy, but was stopped by Luo Chu.

Luo Chu smiled and said: "You are pregnant now, so you should have a good rest. Mother will do these things."

Xiao Qiao could only give up. As soon as Luo Chu arrived, the banquet would start immediately regardless of whether there were still people who hadn't arrived yet.

After drinking for three rounds, accompanied by melodious music and graceful dancing, Xiao Xian stepped forward and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Xian first came to Jiangdong. I don't know what your Majesty likes. I heard that your lady is pregnant. So I offered this as a congratulation.”

Then he ordered someone to open a treasure box, revealing a string of Buddhist beads inside.

The surface of the beads is crystal clear, but each one has a color. There are eight colors in total.

This turned out to be a string of extremely rare eight-color glazed Buddha beads!

Xiao Xian smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this is one of my Xiao family's most important treasures, the eight-color glazed Buddha bead. This bead was consecrated by a world-famous eminent monk and was finally enshrined in the Suwang Temple in the Western Regions.

It can keep people safe and healthy. You are the son of the Luo family and don't need the blessing of King Yousu. It is just right to give it to your wife. "

Mrs. Zhang is kind.

Mr. Xiao is a good Buddhist.

Everyone in the world knows this.

This string of beads was indeed carefully thought out. Luo Chu said with a smile: "In that case, I will accept it."

----

Chaos in the Central Plains at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty caused a large number of nobles who were unwilling to participate in the war to seek refuge in Jiangdong.

When these nobles took refuge, they brought with them a large number of craftsmen and advanced technologies from the Central Plains, as well as a large number of people affiliated with these nobles to the south.

This migration promoted the technological, cultural and economic development of the south. This was the third large-scale development of the Jiangdong region in ancient my country.

This large-scale development has caused changes in economic distribution, which will profoundly affect the future political situation. ——"Economic Development and Changes in Ancient China"
