Clan relatives...

Family, country and the world.

The first is the word "home".

In ancient times, a family was not a small family, but a large family.

Without a big family, you can't form a group and you can't resist external dangers.

Starting from the Zhou Dynasty, the so-called feudal division is actually a family-style feudal division.

A family moved to a certain place, built cities, resisted external dangers, and watched over and helped each other.

But now, a new enfeoffment has begun.

The Fang family is going to Huangjinzhou, and everyone else is a family. They happily relocated with their guards. What does the Fang family take?

A country needs a community of shared destiny connected by blood.

These people are inseparable from the vassal states. Although in the later period, the vassal states had to recruit many immigrants, they did not have the basis of tribe members, and it was very difficult to survive thousands of miles away.

Wang Jinyuan looked at Fang Jifan in a dumbfounded moment and thought for a while: "Nan and Bo are in the same line..."

Fang Jifan took a sip of tea: "Don't be narrow-minded, you should look at the problem with open thinking. Think about it again, for example, five hundred years ago..."

"This..." Wang Jinyuan was shocked: "Go and check it out."

It was a coincidence that Wang Jinyuan really checked it.

The Fang family's family was originally a gentry in the north during the Yongjia period of the Western Jin Dynasty, but with the beginning of the Yongjia Rebellion, the Fang family at that time was divided into two, one stayed in the north, and the other went south to cross the Yangtze River.

After hundreds of years, this branch in the south was becoming increasingly weak. However, the ancestors of Fang Jifan were lucky. Zhu Yuanzhang drove out the Northern Yuan Dynasty, so he followed Emperor Taizu Gao of Hongwu in the south and made contributions.

Over the past few hundred years, this branch that has remained in the north has grown and scattered. Now, it is also very popular. There have been some celebrities in history, but in recent years, they have been somewhat sluggish.

But they have a large population. The Fang family in the northern part is spread all over Lingqiu County, the Shanxi Provincial Administration and Wei County in the Northern Zhili District, with a population of more than 30,000 households.

This family has three or four people... very prosperous.

Fang Jifan took the genealogy of the northern Fang clan and started to do his homework hard.

Thousands of years ago, the Fang family came from Shennong.

Shennong, that's a very amazing person.

Of course, that one is too far.

And one thousand three hundred years ago.

His wife... Zu, okay, no matter who he is... No matter what, Fang Jifan is looking for relatives.

"What do you say about Lingqiu County and Wei County?"

Wang Jinyuan said with a smile: "I have already contacted you. I heard that the young master wants to recognize his ancestors and return to his hometown. I am so happy. The whole clan is full of excitement. The fellow villagers in the clan originally wanted to come to the capital to pay a visit in person, but they are afraid of abruptness..."

"That's it." Fang Jifan sighed: "It's really not easy. This is a difficult situation for others. I thought that Fang Jifan had a group of such honest and loyal tribe members. Fang Jifan was so moved. The Fang family, like the water of the origin, although they were flowing into rivers everywhere, their nature would not become honest and loyal. You ask someone to send a letter. Next month, Fang Jifan will go to worship his ancestors, and on the way, merge the genealogy of our Nanzong Fang family with it."

"Yes, the villain understands."

…………

The capital is not far from Shanxi.

Fang Jifan was worried about his relatives far away in Shanxi, and he arrived quickly with his people in just one day.

This is a village that looks simple and family-style.

Lingqiu County is the location of the ancestral temple.

All the tribesmen from nearby counties have arrived.

The local prefects, county magistrates, and assistant officials also rushed over.

The northern clan leader Fang Dongliang's face was full of red light.

He made his fortune, he made his fortune.

It turned out that the famous Prince of Xinjin and Duke of Qi were the Fang family. They were relatives more than a thousand years ago.

They came from afar and recognized their ancestors.

This is the thought.

Fang Dongliang couldn't help but burst into tears, so he was so happy.

As our ancestors accumulate virtue, the Lingqiu Fang family will also make a fortune.

The county magistrate who used to ignore him is now arrogant at first and then respectful, holding Fang Dongliang's hand and constantly asking about his well-being: "Old lady, you have to pay attention to your health. Your Fang family is a family of Jishan and the descendant of the Zhongmen..."

On the other side, the prefect coughed.

He glared at the county magistrate fiercely.

The county magistrate looked resentful and stepped aside obediently.

The prefect took the hand that the county magistrate had just pulled and patted Fang Dongliang's back of the hand: "Old man, I fell in love with you at first sight. Today I came to the countryside to visit you. You are really strong, I'm afraid you are in your seventies."

In his seventies, it means he is seventy years old.

Fang Dongliang said: "The little old man is only forty and eighty."

Prefect: "..."

"Here, come..."

Outside there was a crowd of people, and countless members of the Fang family gathered together. Among the crowd, people consciously separated the road.

The people in the ancestral hall were even more shocked.

The prefect and Fang Dongliang were led by Yinzi, and Yinzi went out to greet him.

Then I saw a young man wearing a python robe with several escorts to come.

This is a gift from the emperor. Only the crown prince, queen, queen mother, minister of meritorious civil and military affairs, king of vassal state, chief of tribute, and tribal leaders are qualified to accept the gift. This python garment is similar to a dragon robe, with the difference in that the dragon has five claws and the python has four claws.

This big red python suit almost blinded everyone's eyes.

The prefect, the county magistrate and other officials bowed to him and said, "I have met the officials and the Duke of Qi."

Fang Jifan ignored them and said to Fang Dongliang: "Who are these people? Fang Jifan came to worship his ancestors for private matters, not for official business. Why did so many officials and officers come to let them all go away?"

Prefect: "..."

As he said that, Fang Jifan cheered up and followed Fang Dongliang into the ancestral hall. Fang Dongliang took out the family genealogy. In this family genealogy, the Southern School and the Northern School were combined into one.

Fang Dongliang cried with joy: "As for this, Duke of Qi is my brother."

Fang Jifan held his hand: "That's it, in this way, my seniority is not low."

"Okay, I'll go and worship my ancestors first."

Fang Jifan arrived at the spiritual throne of his ancestors, burned incense and sacrificed his sacrifices.

The ceremony is over.

Fang Jifan and Fang Dongliang arrived at the East Room. Fang Jifan sat down and took a sip of tea, showing some fatigue: "Brother, this ancestral temple is too shabby and really insulted the reputation of our Fang family. What does Fang Jifan do? It has built a palace. In a few days, I will ask Xishan Jianye to build a ancestral temple, which is dozens of times larger than this. In the world, except for the emperor's ancestral temple, our Fang family's ancestral temple must be the most majestic."

Fang Dongliang heard this and cried: "If this is possible, it would be a blessing for Fang's sect, Duke of Qi..."

Fang Jifan waved his hand: "Just call me brother, don't be so unfamiliar."

"Mysterious...my brother..." Fang Dongliang was a little awkward: "Our Fang family started with Emperor Gaozu Jingyigong. It has been 63 generations of all generations. My brother is the most outstanding... Think about it, this should be the blessing of the ancestors. Now my brother is going to build a ancestral hall again. My foolish brother... it's really... it's really..."

He choked and started to wipe his tears.

It’s great to have Duke Qi. In the future, the children of the Fang family will have more ways out, and the Fang family will start to shake off. It depends on who dares to compete with the Fang family for irrigation canals to kill them.

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "What's this? As the saying goes, one person has achieved enlightenment and a chicken and a dog have ascended to heaven. I still plan to build a big house for everyone."

"Big house..." Fang Dongliang was about to suffocate and said embarrassedly: "It will cost a lot."

Fang Jifan waved his hand: "Are they all relatives? Say such words?"

"Yes, yes, yes, brother foolishly." Fang Dongliang nodded as if he was pecking at the rice: "But, I don't know where to start? This... I'm really not afraid of my brother's jokes. Just talk about the Fang family in Lingqiu, which is big and small, with more than 3,500 households, but there are few lands and many people... I'm afraid that this house will be built..."

"Of course not in Lingqiu Xiu."

"Then..." Fang Dongliang's mouth was as big as an egg, and he subconsciously covered his old heart: "Is it...Is it...Is it...Is it going to Beijing..."

Fang Jifan said: "Go to the Golden Continent!"

puff……

The tea Fang Dongliang had just drunk was choked out directly.

…………

The tribesmen gathered happily outside this ancestral hall.

Everyone was so happy that their faces were blushing.

All the Fang clan members from nearby counties have arrived.

There is another one that actually came from Xuanfu Dusi.
