Chapter 37

"In the final analysis, the Wu family's foundation is too weak and its rise is too fast. It's not as deep as the Zhou family's deep roots and solid foundation... If you don't say anything else, I'm sure that the Wu family can't help a county magistrate or a master..."

With a sigh, Wu Ming suddenly stood up and came to the door.

There were two maids waiting for him to finish his clothes respectfully.

"They're all here?"

"Baishui village, Qingshi village, Datian village... And even the branches of other townships are here!"

A servant girl with bright eyes, called Lvrui, said softly, exhaling like a orchid. The warm air swept by, with the fragrance of hair, which made Wu Ming happy.

"Good! Go to the ancestral hall

It's just that it's not right at this time. Wu Ming naturally put out his desire to have fun and came to Wu's ancestral hall.

This ancestral hall covers a large area, with cornices, brackets, red bricks and green tiles.

In front of a small square, hundreds of people gathered, men and women, young and old. When they saw Wu Ming coming in, they all bowed slightly with a smile on their face. Only a few of them kept their manners.

This is the Wu clan.

Of course, there are almost none of them who are really close relatives. Basically, they are far from each other, and they even climb up the genealogy.

Such a clan, if we really talk about the blood relationship, that is also ha ha.

But in ancient times, people with the same surname were still one family 500 years ago! As long as the genealogy is right, outsiders can't gossip.

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

Wu Ming raised his hand slightly.

When the people below saw this famous little demon star, it seemed that he had changed his personality, and he was even more dignified, so he could not help but be quiet.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as the head of the Wu family, I am very sad to hear about Qingshi village."

Wu Ming's eloquence is completely different from the previous dandy who behaved absurdly and lecherously. He has the impression: "this time I'm calling you here to set up rules for my Wu family!"

"... if you don't study, you don't know the etiquette. Now which family in Yunping is not the successor of poetry? When I saw my nephew in my later life, he spent a good time farming in the fields and playing in the countryside every day. I was very sad... So I decided to build a ethnology school. As a school field, all the children of the Wu family can study free of charge, provide food and accommodation, and reward those who are outstanding! "

When this remark came out, there was a sudden uproar at the bottom.

It costs a lot of money to study, but it's amazing that half of the kids are poor, and Wu Ming is willing to open a school and manage meals to give Wu's children a future.

"Good!"

At this time, a clan elder who didn't speak before said, "it should have been so long ago! It should have been so long ago

Naturally, these people have been informed of Wu Ming for a long time.

It's really a good thing to see it now. Naturally, I strongly support it.

With a smile on his face, Wu Ming said: "so, you and I will enter the ancestral hall, make rules, and then offer sacrifices to our ancestors

At this time, the gate of the ancestral hall opened, Wu Ming led the way, and all the men entered. The rules were strict, and the women could only wait outside enviously.

The temple was filled with cigarettes. After an agreement was reached, Wu Ming wrote a sacrificial essay by himself, which was read by an old man of a clan. He burned it and then lit incense to worship his ancestors.

Everything was in order. Wu Ming did it solemnly. He was very methodical, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Good nephew! If you can do this, you will lay the foundation of my family for a hundred years. If you are old, you will die. "

"Yes, my dear nephew, it's a great blessing for us to be the master of our country."

……

Several old people, at this time, were really thinking about the Wu family. They were all full of tears.

Wu Ming responded with a smile one by one, washing away his impression of being a dandy.

I'm afraid that after today, it's going to spread in all corners of the country that "the prodigal son's money will not be exchanged.".

Wu Ming knew that many people came here, perhaps for this meal, to make the kitchen serve more.

At this time, the countryside is poor, and it's hard to eat meat during the festival. When the people see this feast, they are very happy. Women and children are smiling. Finally, they pack the leftovers together, and then they leave happily.

"Young master!"

At this time, housekeeper Wu, who was sent to the county, came back with a look of shame on his face: "the eldest lady is closing the door. Nobody can see. The villain is incompetent!"

"Shut up..."

Wu Ming felt his chin and said, "just go down first and make a good plan for the school. The lease of 100 mu of land is ready..."

Seeing that housekeeper Wu seemed to feel distressed, he couldn't help laughing and saying, "what's the matter? Don't think it's worth it? "

"No... I was thinking that if the first lady knew it, she would be happy too..."

Housekeeper Wu accompanied him with a smile and said a few more words before leaving. The corner of his eye seemed to be a little red.

"Speaking of it... He didn't become rich later, but had children with his family for several generations. No wonder..."

Wu Ming was silent for a moment and sighed again.

Until ancient times, it was impossible to know the effect of clan on individuals.

Even if it's a rebellion, because it's going to involve nine ethnic groups, as long as Wu Ming does it, these ethnic groups and their families will have to accompany Wu Ming to the black.

Of course, this is a time of strong power. If you are in a weak position, it is not uncommon to be robbed or coveted of property.

However, Wu Ming was weak before, so he would be bullied. But now, with the rise of Wu Qing, even the position of patriarch has been taken over, which is very different!

"Although it's a world of personal detachment, it's not useless to organize wings and friends. At least there are a lot of trivial things to do..."

It's really a great event for the whole family to open schools, cultivate cultural atmosphere, and let children read and read.

Wu Ming knows that Wu Qing must have had this idea before. It's just that Wu Ming's daughter and mud can't support her on the wall, so she has to procrastinate.

Now? Everything is different!

"Among the clansmen, the good and the bad are naturally intermingled, and they need to be screened one by one. Those who coveted my family's property before are directly excluded, but the children of other clansmen are treated equally..."

These older generation have too many thoughts, and Wu Ming dare not use them.

However, after the young generation read and read, they entered his system again. They smoothed the edges and corners and basically used them.

Even, you can let some of your children go in to read with you, at least to understand a few words.

If we can produce a few scholars, we will have a stable family, and the clan will be prosperous.

However, this is the way of peaceful times. In troubled times, there is another way.

Scholars are just seeds, civil and military wings, indispensable ah!

Now under the pressure of the Zhou family, Wu Ming is more anxious to take control.

The next day, the morning light, the weather is still cold, he ordered the village to gather.

The Wu family had 20 hectares of farmland and 200 tenants. They were also the most powerful force in the area. At that time, there were more than 50 people in Xiangyong's army. Although they were not very elite, they were all strong men, which was very good.

"Cough!"

Seeing Wu Ming coming, Feng Han gave a light cough, and more than 50 people immediately yelled in unison: "I've seen Da Shao!"

"No gift!"

When Wu Ming saw it, he was somewhat satisfied.

In fact, if the whole fortress is fully mobilized, 200 people will be able to get out, but it will delay the work.

According to the ancient military system, five families produce one child, which means that one of the five families produces a young man who is engaged in off-duty military work, so as not to delay the normal production activities of the whole society.

Now there are 200 families in the Wu family, and it's easy to have 40 or 50 people.

No matter how much, it has to be attacked and used when guarding the fort. At that time, all the people were in the fort, their families were in the castle, and hundreds of people were able to resist thousands of troops!

Wu Ming is very confident in controlling these people.

Because at this time, the life and death of the tenant's family depended on the master's family. If Wu Ming was in a bad mood and took over the land, they would have to be homeless immediately and become refugees.

Since the great Zhou Dynasty, land annexation has become more and more serious, and natural and man-made disasters continue, so refugees are really dead.

"I will rebuild the inspection station!"

Wu Ming watched the drill first, then announced aloud.

"According to the system, one township inspector and five servicemen can become officials, receive a share of money and food, and have ten helpers. These are sixteen people!"

There is an inspection department in the county, which is responsible for burglary. Each township has an inspection office, which is under the jurisdiction of the inspection department. But in fact, according to the hidden rules, once there is a powerful person in the township, it will be recommended by that company and approved by the inspection department.

Although they were officials, there was still a way out for the following people, and there was a commotion.

"Now, each team of Xiang Yong is divided into small groups to compete in martial arts, and 16 people are selected, and then they are put out for inspection."

As soon as Wu Ming said this, he saw that the following people were eager to try, and there was an order of fenghan management. They were divided into circles, and they were in good order.

"It's a pity... If Feng Han is allowed to patrol this village, it's a great kindness!"

Wu Ming can only think about this idea in his mind.

Feng Han is a great talent in the realm of neigang. If he joins the army directly, he can get the official status and be awarded the rank of vice commander of Jiupin.

Although there is some real power and oil and water in the township inspection, in the final analysis, it is still humble and humiliating to let fenghan be.

At this time, although Feng Han made some disclosure with Wu Ming, he was still a guest Qing in the Wu family and could go if he wanted to.

"Ha ha... Compete for the official? How can such things not be called to me? "

All of a sudden, the general sound of thunder, on the outside of the school ring.

Immediately, a strong and high spirited man with silken eyebrows and leopard eyes, a needle like beard and thunder like pronunciation walked in with a smile.

Although it is late autumn, but no coat, a piece of muscle like fine steel in general, there are centipede like scars, ferocious crisscross, frightening.

"It's a hero, but it seems a little rebellious!"

Wu Ming's eyes flashed: "who is this man?"
