I

Except for a few insiders, the representatives of the other Fei clan branches couldn't figure out what happened.

Fei Yuanzhen was carried back, and a doctor was urgently called in for treatment.

The family meeting had to continue, after all, the patriarch didn't know if he would be able to wake up, and the troops of the bandit Zhao could arrive at Qianshan at any time.

Fei Yinghuan said: "Luling Zhao Yan, whose real name is Zhao Han, was originally a student of Hanzhu Academy."

"boom!"

The audience was in an uproar, and then they were delighted, and all turned their attention to Fei Yuanlu.

Fei Yuanlu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Although he was not Zhao Han's professional teacher, he was Zhao Han's principal, and strictly speaking he was considered a mentor. At this moment, I don't know whether to be proud or blame myself, what is it to teach a big traitor?

"Xueqing, since Zhao Han is your student, can you ask him to discuss the division of land?" The person who spoke was Fei Yuanlu's elder.

Fei Yuanlu sighed: "To be honest, this student has hatred against me."

Someone was very active and asked, "But the patriarch..."

"A few years ago, Zhao Han was removed from his student status as a student. Then he was framed by others, killed the master and the history, and then burned down the county government." Fei Yuanlu didn't know about the burning of the county government, and thought it was Fei Yuan It's really killing people.

The words were ambiguous, but everyone present guessed that it must have something to do with the patriarch Fei Yuanzhen.

Since Fei Yuanzhen had such a big grudge against Zhao Han, he must change to another patriarch, otherwise the other party might deliberately target the entire Fei family.

"I think Xueqing can be the patriarch."

"I also think Brother Thirteen (ranking in the clan) is the patriarch."

"The position of patriarch is for those who are virtuous. Uncle Thirteen has taught Hanzhu Academy for many years. Which of the clan's children is not convinced?"

"Not only this, the thirteenth brother is the eldest son of Duke Yao Nian (Fei Yaonian). With the legacy of Duke Yao Nian, the thirteenth brother should also be the patriarch."

"I agree with this proposal."

"..."

Fei Yuanlu waved his hand and said, "Da Zhao is the patriarch's first choice, and Zhao Han is the adopted son brought back by Da Zhao."

The Jiangxi giant is the adopted son of the Fei family?

The elders of the Fei family were dizzy from the shock of all kinds of news.

Fei Yinghuan waved his hands and said, "It's not the adopted son, but the son-in-law of the younger generation."

The clan elders almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, what the hell is this? Can you finish it all at once!

"Dazhao is the leader of Fei Jiaying's generation. From my point of view, in this turbulent situation, an old man should not be the patriarch. We must choose a strong and powerful man for a year to take on this important task."

"That's right, Dazhao is the patriarch's first choice."

"I don't think so. Brother Nine (Fei Yuanyi) should be the patriarch. Mr. Zhao from Luling is Brother Nine's grandson-in-law, so he always wants to save face."

"That's right, Uncle Jiu is the best patriarch!"

"..."

Fei Yuanyi was extremely embarrassed at the moment, coughed and said: "The marriage between my granddaughter and Zhao Han, I did not quite agree with this old man at that time. There is a little disagreement between this old man and his grandson-in-law, so I might not be able to be the patriarch."

Everyone was silent for a moment.

What is a slight discord? I'm afraid there is a huge contradiction!

They all know Fei Yuanyi very well, a cold-blooded person who wants to save face. A few years ago, Zhao Han was said to be an adopted son, but he was actually a domestic slave. How could Fei Yuanyi agree to marry his granddaughter?

Fearing that Zhao Han was framed and forced to set fire to the county government, Fei Yuanyi, an old fellow, would also be involved!

Fei Yinghuan said: "The younger generation will go to Ji'an after the Chinese New Year, and has no energy to manage affairs in the clan. When Zhao Han was in Hanzhu Academy, he respected the mountain chief the most, so Uncle Thirteen must be the patriarch .”

Everyone straightened out the reasons, and at this moment they all said yes.

Fei Yuanlu couldn't refuse, so he immediately cupped his hands and said, "In this critical situation, I have no choice but to do so."

Another old man said, "Dazhao, since Zhao Han is your son-in-law, the Fei family's property should be preserved, right?"

"cannot!"

Fei Yinghuan shook his head and said: "This son has had his own opinions since he was a child, and he has set the rules, so he can't change them. The younger generation came back to Qianshan Mountain this time to clarify the matter. Zhao Han's government only divides the landlord's property, not the landlord's. Houses, shops, and workshops will not be robbed of the gentry's floating wealth. Seniors, who are familiar with history books, should know that the method of rebellion is very kind. But kindness is kindness, whoever dares to stop the land distribution will surely kill people and ransack their homes! Of course , only copy one family, not one family. It has nothing to do with me, Ehu Fei, which uncle's name is copied."

The scene quieted down, everyone was thinking about the pros and cons.

Some people were still not reconciled and asked, "Dazhao, can you really not be flexible?"

Fei Yinghuan sneered and said, "Uncles, uncles, Fei Yuanjian has already become the magistrate of Jianchang, so he must be very willing to go back to Qianshan to search the house."

As soon as this remark came out, the complexions of several people present changed dramatically.

They participated in the events of the past, forced Fei Yuanjian's biological mother to death, and even divided the property under Fei Yuanjian's name.

Even if Zhao Han promised not to divide Fei's land, these lands would not be left to them, and Fei Yuanjian would definitely come back to take revenge.

Actually, how could Fei Yuanjian have those thoughts? He is so busy all day long, why would he care about the few maggots in his hometown?

The Jianchang Mansion was destroyed, and Fei Yuanjian was transferred to be the magistrate. In addition to resettling immigrants and presiding over the distribution of land, he also had to severely crack down on the Nanfengmi Esoteric believers. It would take at least half a year to catch his breath.

Moreover, Fei Yuanjian just had a son. As a father, many things in the past have faded away.

Fei Yuanjian only had three requests this time, one was to take his loving mother, Mrs. Chen, to Jianchang, the other was to tear down Jingbiao's biological mother's martyr archway, and the third was to give away all the land under his name. He wanted to set up a family in Jianchang Mansion, and he himself also shared the land in Jianchang Mansion, so it was obvious that he wanted to draw a line with Qianshan Fei's family.

It is also possible that Fei Yuanjian has matured and thought through many things before, guessing that the death of his biological mother was related to Zhao Han, Fei Ruhe, Fei Chun, and Pang Chunlai. Therefore, he completely broke away from Fei's family in Qianshan Mountain, and even except moving his parents' graves, he never went back to Qianshan Mountain from now on, which showed that he had long forgotten the past.

Fei Yinghuan continued: "Dividing the land and the family is something that must happen. I hope all the elders will cherish themselves. I have made everything clear. Although Zhao Han is the son-in-law of the younger generation, he has a grudge against the Fei family. If If you don't cooperate, the Fei family will be more likely to be killed as an example to others."

A clan elder suddenly asked: "If the clan's children go to seek refuge, can they become officials immediately?"

Fei Yinghuan explained: "If you want to vote for Zhao Han, you can report to each government. There is a government magistrate who is in charge of officials. After registration, he will be sent to all levels of yamen to observe politics. During the period of observing politics, it is called an internship. For food, you don’t get salary, but you still have to help with work. After half a year of internship, you can become a reserve official. You can continue to help with work, but you can go home and wait for the assignment of duties. Once there is a vacancy, the reserve official can be converted into a regular official .”

"It's so troublesome to be an official?" the elders of the clan exclaimed.

Fei Yinghuan continued to preach the policy, saying: "Zhao Han's official administration is rewarded for meritorious deeds and punished for demerits. Moreover, this is the beginning of the establishment of the company. One county is occupied today, and one mansion is occupied tomorrow. Officials and officials are promoted very quickly. Under Zhao Han's rule, officials can be promoted to officials, but don't think of them as Da Ming officials. As you can see, some Fang brothers raised troops, brought two counties to join them, and helped to besiege the third county. The Fang brothers To make such a great achievement, you can only start from the county magistrate."

As he said that, Fei Yinghuan suddenly smiled wryly: "It was the junior himself who went to the son-in-law's side. Although he didn't need to observe politics or be an official, he still had to start from the county government. It's not because of other people. Yes, but the younger generation has made great achievements."

What great achievement?

Of course, he went to Ganzhou to be a spy, and found out the details of the officers and soldiers in Fujian, so that Fei Ruhe could know himself and the enemy when he was fighting.

"Can you take the exam to become an official?" Another clan elder asked.

Fei Yinghuan replied: "It will definitely be possible in the future, but not now. If you want to take the road of imperial examinations, you can send your children to primary and secondary schools. There are many primary schools under his rule, but the good and the bad are mixed. It is better to buy the books. Please Mr. Gao Ming teaches at home. As for middle schools, there are only a few in Ji'an Prefecture, and the students of these middle schools must be reused."

Another clan elder asked, "Is it possible to go to middle school with money?"

Fei Yinghuan nodded and said: "Yes, you can study if you give money. But if you don't go to elementary school and go directly to middle school, I'm afraid you won't be able to pass the graduation exam. "Mathematics" and "Geometry" have been added. It is difficult to learn from the shallower to the deeper."

It's amazing. I was talking about it for a long time before, and now I suddenly turn to how to be an official.

It seems that the land property has become a thing outside of the body, and they want to use this shareholder style to train a large number of Fei's children to be officials in the new dynasty.

Fei Yinghuan reminded: "Fei's style of study is worrying. I suggest that all elders send their children and grandchildren to Ji'an to study directly, and don't give them too much money. It is so far away from home, and the school is not allowed to bring book boys. After a few years, they will be born. A batch of thousand-mile horses."

"So, I will send a few grandchildren there after the Chinese New Year." Immediately, a clan elder made a decision.

"Going together, going together, it's good to have a care."

"Are there any primary and secondary schools in Nanchang Prefecture? Nanchang is closer, so it's convenient to go home."

"..."

Not only the Fei family of Qianshan was like this, when Zhao Han expanded his troops and swept Jiangxi, the big families in all prefectures and counties were doing this.

Adult children are sent to observe politics for internships, and they don't get paid to help with things, just hoping to become formal officials as soon as possible. Underage children are sent to elementary and middle schools to study. Next year, a large number of students will definitely sign up, and some wealthy families even donate money to the government to run schools.

Many of these aristocratic families are passed down from the Han and Tang Dynasties, and have experienced the rise and fall of many dynasties. When they found that they couldn't keep the land and at the same time they couldn't fight against Zhao Han, they immediately chose to follow the rules and hitch a ride.

There was a wealthy businessman in Jiujiang who directly donated 10,000 taels of silver to Zhao Han, and there was only one request: when adding a middle school next time, Jiujiang Fucheng must be given priority.

After returning home, Fei Yuanlu called his grandson: "Zhao Han is Luling Zhao Yan, you go to Ji'an Mansion immediately, and do whatever he asks you to do!"

There was a catastrophe in the south of the Yangtze River, Fei Ruyi ran back last year.

Although exotic clothes are not allowed in the family, his clothes are still very fancy. Hearing this, Fei Ruyi suddenly became happy: "Haha, brother Han has rebelled, no wonder he has a high status when he was young. Don't worry, grandpa, grandson will go to Ji'an after the Chinese New Year."

As for the immortal Fei Yuanyi, he had a whim and called his son to whisper: "You said that Fei Chun handles money and food like a crane handles military affairs. Can Zhao Han be abolished?"

Fei Yinghuan was dumbfounded: "Father, do you really think that the Fei family is living too well? Even if Zhao Han is killed, who can control his civil and martial arts? If it is found out that the Fei family ordered it, none of the Fei family's children will live. Even the soldiers under Ruhe's command will kill Ruhe before killing the Fei family!"

"This person has such prestige?" Fei Yuanyi asked in surprise.

Fei Yinghuan said: "Once Zhao Han dies, his soldiers will all come from poor backgrounds, and there will be no one who hates the rich. At that time, they will go crazy, and no one can control it. They will kill all the gentry in Jiangxi until their blood flows like rivers!"

Fei Yuanyi was so frightened that he trembled all over, and he didn't dare to discuss this matter again.

As Fei Yinghuan said, although Jiangxi gentry hated Zhao Han, most of them hoped that Zhao Han would live a long life.

The power of the peasant association is terrible. Recently, some new land occupations, some unscrupulous people, under the banner of the peasant association, rushed into the houses of big families in groups. Revenge for injustice, revenge for vengeance, direct robbery and plunder without vengeance.

The senior officials of the General Military Mansion were extremely angry, and issued a death order to control the situation, and those who took the lead in making trouble must be severely punished.

This kind of thing happened even if Zhao Han was not dead. If Zhao Han had an accident one day, who would be able to stop it? There is no need for the soldiers under his command to kill indiscriminately, and many people will settle accounts with the landlords!

Zhao Han must not die, this is the consensus of Jiangxi gentry.
