Two days passed in a flash. More than 200 miles south of Xiuyan mansion, in a huge city built along the river, there were more and more people on Fucheng street with the morning light.
This is Shangye mansion, Yang Dingyuan's hometown.
Shangye prefecture has the same form and pattern as other state capitals of Lu. It is also controlled by layers of gentry and rich families. In Shangye Prefecture, the strongest is the Liang family. After having breakfast and rinsing with green tea, Liang Zhenzhong entered the study, grabbed a book and watched it with flavor.
He only looked at it for a moment and was interrupted by the housekeeper, "Sir, the two heads of Fang's family and Niu's family are visiting."
Liang Zhenzhong was in a bad mood. "The two immortals got together yesterday afternoon to discuss for so long. They came again early in the morning to disturb people's purity. It's just for the civil unrest in the area of the state capital."
Shangye mansion is located in the south of Xiuyan mansion, which is closer to Yunzhou. It travels quickly to and from Yunzhou, but to be honest, the top powerful family here still doesn't know about Xue Cheng and Li Yuanshu in Yunzhou.
To be exact, they have heard the rumors for a long time and have not sent anyone to confirm in detail. It is not surprising that less than a week has passed since Tang huailan and other elite children of a state's top giants went to Dayue city to confirm the authenticity of Li Yuanshu.
At present, the biggest and most noteworthy thing in Xiuyan Prefecture is the rebellion between Han and Zhang! Zhang Shun, who occupies Pinghui County, goes down the river and can insert the Bingfeng outside Shangye Prefecture in less than a day.
Even if they heard about Li Yuanshu, they still speculated with the old school thought that it was Li Yuanshu who created auspicious events for himself and fooled Xiao min.
Even if in theory, Zhang Shun's thief army can't give up the threat of repairing the rock mansion and suddenly send troops to Shangye mansion, no matter how low the theoretical probability is, it can't be denied that Zhang Shunjun's ability to repair the rock mansion one day!
With this ability, it is enough to make the whole Xiang River and the county governments and cities located along the river nervous.
How did Zhang Shun beat Pinghui? How did Han Jianzhou beat angung county? It was all a sneak attack, and in the battle, the gentry and private soldiers composed of countless bottom people directly rebelled against the thieves.
These days, Liang Zhenzhong, Fang Daochuan and Niu Xinghai, the three largest gentry leaders of Shangye government, basically haven't slept too hard. They all put forward the Countermeasures of iron lock and river closure more than once.
The problem is that it's not possible to close the river with an iron rope? Zhang Shun's troops are not the Navy. As long as they drive their ships near Shangye mansion and get off the ship, they can attack the mansion from the land. If the river is closed by iron cable, the cheaper is the county governments in the South and downstream of Shangye government, which can give enough comfort to those governments and counties.
TieSuo river closure, in fact, sealed many cities in the upper reaches, in order to ensure the safety of Shangye government. For example, in the south of Pinghui County, Luo County is the nearest, followed by Xiangfu Fucheng, Zhongdu County, Linguang county and pingzhe County, followed by Shangye Fucheng. In theory, as long as the river channel is blocked in Luoxian County, everyone can have a safe sleep from Xiangfu city.
If you can't stand it, the upstream government and county will not be closed!
Luoxian local giants will be so kind? I closed the river with iron chains. You're all safe. What about me? I became the only target of Zhang Shun's thief army.
If Zhang Shun attacks along the river after closing the river, he can only choose Xiuyan mansion and Luoxian county. I don't close the river, good guy. There are many targets along the Xiang River. Zhang Shun chooses casually. My safety guarantee has been greatly improved.
Under this mentality, the lower reaches of the Xiang River maintained the same attitude. Everyone did not close the river, but there were troops stationed in each city day and night to strictly prevent them.
Shangye government contributes the most, that is, Liang, Fang and Niu.
Lord Liang Zhenzhong, who has always loved cleanliness and advocated the decentralization of power to the family, has often gathered together in recent months. In order to prevent thieves, he racked his brains and quarreled at various parties, but he was tired out.
So when he heard that two old friends came together again, he was so angry that his skull hurt.
Liang Zhenzhong make complaints about make complaints about the two places.
A moment later, as soon as the servant girl had a few cups of tea here, Fang Daochuan, Niu Xinghai, entered the study. Fang Daochuan was 45 years old, also considered as the year of fighting. He had a white and handsome face, but he was acute. When he stepped into the door, he said, "Brother Liang, there seems to be some accidents in the state capital. Today, a large ship from the city came down to visit the people of the Yang family."
Liang Zhenzhong was stunned, "which Yang family?"
"Yang Dingyuan, the handsome family member who is still alive." Niu Xinghai was not polite. He went near the desk, picked up tea and drank.
Liang Zhenzhong was a little messy. After a few breaths, he said strangely, "I have a boat in Fucheng to go to work. I just go to visit Yang Dingyuan's relatives? Whose soldiers?"
Fang Daochuan said with a wry smile, "it's the flag of Tang family, the king of rock repair, and it's really Tang's big ship, but didn't Ping Hui seal the river with an iron chain? How did the big ship get down?"
"At this juncture, what's the use of Tang's sending people to find Yang Dingyuan's living relatives? The family is just living in the upper industry, and the middle-class family doesn't worry about food and clothing."
When Yang Dingyuan was still alive, he was courted by countless gentry and rich families. Naturally, he also included several big families in Shangye mansion. Everyone is no stranger.
Just five months after Yang Dingyuan's death, the mansion where his wife and children lived, the fields in Fucheng, and even the shops in Fucheng were swallowed up by the gentry. Liang, Fang and Niu didn't do those things.
In any case, as the most powerful family in the family, their eating appearance is not so disgusting. After all, Yang Dingyuan is recognized as a century old handsome man. After his death, he was rewarded by the imperial court. In just a few months, if they personally end up swallowing those family properties and bullying orphans and widows, their reputation will be completely rotten and disgraced all over the country.
Besides, when Yang Dingyuan was alive, he didn't have much family business to talk about. The house in a mansion covers an area of one or two acres, less than one tenth of the three ancestral houses, only a few hundred acres of fertile farmland outside the city, and only two or three shops. That little oil and water is not worth looking at.
It was only done by a group of small gentry.
Top giants such as Liang Zhenzhong, Fang Daochuan and Niu Xinghai just sit back and watch those things happen, don't stop them, just have fun.
You are so arrogant when you are alive, and you don't listen to us for so long. Now you know what it's like to have no one to protect you? If Yang Dingyuan really took refuge in a rich family, let alone could not have been so miserable in the battlefield. Even if he died, the other party's family would also be protected by the rich family.
Do you think rich families don't need to set a benchmark for other servants and officials to watch?
If Yang Dingyuan really took refuge in someone's family, whether it was a powerful family or a powerful state, it would be impossible for people to bully his wife and daughter after his death. Otherwise, other family officials and servants would work hard for you! In fact, the original court of the state of Lu should also have such credibility to be able to be loyal to civil and military affairs, but the court of the state of Lu... Let alone.
But now, the Tang family in Fucheng somehow broke through the suojiang in Pinghui county and came to work by boat just to visit the Yang family? This operation is too crazy!
