Except for a few insiders, other representatives of the Fei family branch were not sure what happened.
Fei Yuanzhen was carried back and doctors were called in for emergency treatment.
The family meeting must continue. After all, the clan leader doesn't know if he will wake up, and the Zhao thief's troops may 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 whole audience was in an uproar, then overjoyed, and all turned their attention to Fei Yuanlu.
Fei Yuanlu couldn't laugh or cry. Although he was not Zhao Han's master, he was Zhao Han's principal. Strictly speaking, he could be considered a master and apprentice. At this moment, he didn't know whether to be proud or to blame himself. What was the point of teaching a big rebel?
Son?
"Xueqing, since Zhao Han is your student, can you please 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 a grudge against my Fei family."
Someone was quick-thinking and asked: "But the patriarch..."
"A few years ago, Zhao Han was removed from Tongsheng's school registration. Then he was framed. He killed the chief clerk and the historian, and then burned the county government office." Fei Yuanlu didn't know about the burning of the county government office, and thought it was Fei Yuanlu.
Really trying to kill them all.
The words were ambiguous, but everyone present guessed that they must have something to do with the clan leader Fei Yuanzhen.
Since Fei Yuanzhen and Zhao Han have such a big grudge, a clan leader must be replaced, otherwise the other party may deliberately target the entire Fei clan.
"I think Xueqing can be the leader of the clan."
"I also think that Thirteenth Brother (ranked within the clan) should be the clan leader."
"The position of clan leader is occupied by the virtuous. Uncle Thirteen has been in charge of Hanzhu Academy for many years. Is there any descendant in the clan who is not convinced?"
"Not only this, but 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 head of the clan."
"I agree with this proposal."
"..."
Fei Yuanlu waved his hand and said: "Dazhao is the first choice of the clan leader, and Zhao Han is the adopted son brought back by Dazhao."
Jiangxi giant bandit is the adopted son of the Fei family?
These elders of the Fei family have been shocked by all kinds of news.
Fei Yinghuan waved his hand and said: "He is not an adopted son, but the son-in-law of a junior."
The clan elders almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. What the hell is all this? Can you finish it in one go?
"Dazhao is the leader of the Fei family. In my opinion, in this turbulent situation, an old man should not be the leader of the clan. A strong man of one year must be chosen to take on this important task."
"Yes, Dazhao is the clan leader's first choice."
"I don't think so. Ninth Brother (Fei Yuanyi) should be the leader of the clan. Mr. Zhao from Luling is Ninth Brother's grandson-in-law, so he always has to give him some face."
"Yes, yes, it's best for Uncle Jiu to be the clan leader!"
"..."
Fei Yuanyi was extremely embarrassed at this moment. He coughed and said, "At that time, I didn't agree with the marriage between my granddaughter and Zhao Hanzhi. There is some discord between me and my grandson-in-law, so I might not be able to serve as the clan leader."
Everyone was quiet for a moment.
What does it mean to be slightly discordant? I'm afraid there is a huge contradiction!
They all know Fei Yuanyi very well, a cold-blooded person who is obsessed with saving face. A few years ago, Zhao Han said he was an adopted son, but in fact he was a domestic slave. How could Fei Yuanyi agree to his granddaughter's marriage?
I'm afraid that Zhao Han was framed and forced to burn down the county government office, and old guy Fei Yuanyi also had a hand in it!
Fei Yinghuan said: "After the Chinese New Year, the younger generation will go to Ji'an and have no energy to manage affairs in the clan. When Zhao Han was at Hanzhu Academy, he respected the mountain chief the most, so the position of clan leader must belong to his thirteenth uncle.
."
Everyone figured out the reason and all said yes at this moment.
Fei Yuanlu couldn't refuse, so he immediately held up his hands and said: "In this critical situation, I have no choice but to refuse."
Another old man said: "Dazhao, since Zhao Han is your son-in-law, the Fei family's land should be able to keep it, right?"
"cannot!"
Fei Yinghuan shook his head and said: "This boy has had his own opinions since he was a child. Once he has set the rules, it is impossible to change them. This junior came back to Qianshan to make things clear. Zhao Han's government only divides the land of the landlords, not their property.
Houses, shops and workshops will not be robbed of the gentry's extravagant wealth. Elders who are familiar with history books should know that this method is very merciful when rebels rebel. But kindness is kindness. Whoever dares to block the division of land will definitely kill people and confiscate their homes! Of course!
, only copy one family, not a whole clan. Which great-uncle's name is copied has nothing to do with my Ehu Fei family."
The scene became quiet, everyone was thinking about the pros and cons.
Some people were still unwilling to give in and asked: "Dazhao, is it really impossible to be accommodating?"
Fei Yinghuan sneered and said: "Dear uncles, Fei Yuanjian has become the prefect of Jianchang. He must be very willing to go back to Qianshan to raid his house."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of several people present changed drastically.
They participated in what happened that year, forcing Fei Yuanjian's biological mother to death and dividing the property in Fei Yuanjian's name.
Even if Zhao Han promised not to divide the Fei family's land, the land would not be left to them. Fei Yuanjian would definitely come back to take revenge and seize the land.
Actually, how could Fei Yuanjian have such thoughts? He was so busy all day long, how could he care about a few maggots in his hometown?
Jianchang Mansion was destroyed, and Fei Yuanjian was transferred to the post of magistrate. In addition to resettling immigrants and presiding over the distribution of land, he also had to severely crack down on the Nanfeng Esoteric Cultists. It would take at least half a year before he could take a breather.
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. The first was to take his loving mother Chen to Jianchang, the second was to demolish the Martyr's Arch of Jing's birth mother, and the third was to sell out all the land under his name. He wanted to settle down in Jianchang Mansion.
After establishing his own business, he also received land in Jianchang Mansion, clearly wanting to draw a clear line between him and the Qianshan Fei family.
It is also possible that Fei Yuanjian has become mature and has thought through many things in the past. He guessed that the death of his biological mother was related to Zhao Han, Fei Ruhe, Fei Chun, and Pang Chunlai. Therefore, he completely separated from the Qianshan Fei family, and even
Apart from moving the graves of my parents, I will never return to Qianshan from now on, indicating that I have long forgotten the past.
Fei Yinghuan continued: "Dividing fields and families is inevitable. I hope all the elders will take care of 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 we don't cooperate, the Fei family will be more likely to be killed to scare the monkeys."
A clan elder suddenly asked: "If a clan member goes to join the clan, can he become an official immediately?"
Fei Yinghuan explained: "If you want to vote for Zhao Han, you can go to each government office to report. There is a government official who is responsible for the administration. After registration, he will be sent to the Yamen at all levels to observe the government. The period of observing the government is called internship, which is just for management.
You don't get a salary, but you still have to help with work. After half a year of internship, you can become a reserve staff member. You can continue to help with work, and you can go home and wait for the assignment of duties. Once there is a vacancy, the reserve staff member can be converted into a regular staff member.
."
"Is it so troublesome to be an official?" the clan elders exclaimed.
Fei Yinghuan continued to preach the policy and said: "Zhao Han's official administration must be rewarded for meritorious deeds and punished for delinquency. Moreover, this is the beginning of the business. Today it occupies a county and tomorrow it occupies a government. Officials and staff are promoted very quickly.
Under the rule of Zhao Han, civil servants could be promoted to officials. Don't think of them as the sharp-edged officials of the Ming Dynasty. As you know, the Fang brothers raised an army and brought the land of two counties to join them, and also helped to besiege a third county. These Fang brothers
, to achieve such great achievements, one can only start from the county magistrate."
As he said that, Fei Yinghuan suddenly smiled bitterly: "It's the junior himself who went to live with his son-in-law. Although he doesn't have to watch the government or be an official, he still has to start as the chief clerk of the county government. Becoming the chief clerk directly is not because of other people.
Yes, but the younger generation has made great contributions."
What great achievement?
Of course, he went to Ganzhou to work as a spy and found out the details of the Fujian officers and soldiers, so that Fei Ruhe could know himself and the enemy when fighting.
"Can I take the exam to become an official?" Another clan elder asked.
Fei Yinghuan replied: "It will definitely be possible in the future, but not yet. If you want to take the imperial examination route, you can send your children to primary school or middle school. There are many primary schools under his rule, but they are mixed, so it is better to buy the books back. Please
Mr. Gao Ming teaches at home. As for middle schools, there are only a few in Ji'an Prefecture at present, and the students in these middle schools will be put to good use."
Another clan elder asked: "Can I go to middle school with money?"
Fei Yinghuan nodded and said: "Yes, you can study for money. But if you don't go to elementary school and go to middle school directly, I'm afraid you won't be able to pass the graduation exam, and your work will be in vain. In elementary school and middle school, you also study the Four Books and Five Classics, but
"Mathematics" and "Geometry" have been added. It is difficult to understand without starting from the shallower to the deeper."
It's very amazing. I was talking about random things for a long time, and now I suddenly turned to how to be an official.
It seems that all the land and property have become external possessions, and they want to use this stock spirit to train a large number of Fei's children to be officials in the new dynasty.
Fei Yinghuan reminded: "Fei's academic style is worrying. I suggest you elders to send your children and grandchildren directly to Ji'an to study, and don't give them too much money. They are so far away from home, and the school is not allowed to bring students. In a few years, they will be out of school."
A batch of thousand-mile horses."
"In this case, I will send some of my grandchildren after the Chinese New Year." A clan elder immediately made a decision.
"Going together, going together, it's good to have someone to take care of you."
"Is there a primary school or middle school in Nanchang Prefecture? Nanchang is closer and it's convenient to go home."
"..."
Not only the Fei family in Qianshan was doing this, but when Zhao Han expanded his troops and swept across Jiangxi, the big families in all prefectures and counties were doing this.
Adult children are sent to watch government internships, and they do not get paid to help with work, just to become official officials as soon as possible. Underage children are sent to primary schools and middle schools to study. Next year, a large number of students will definitely sign up, and even wealthy people will donate money.
Provide schools for the government.
Many of these aristocratic families originated from the Han and Tang Dynasties and experienced the rise and fall of many dynasties. When they found that they could not keep their land and could not resist Zhao Han, they immediately chose to follow the rules and take advantage of them.
There was a wealthy businessman in Jiujiang who directly donated 10,000 taels of silver to Zhao Han, with only one request: Jiujiang Prefecture must be given priority next time when a middle school is added.
After returning home, Fei Yuanlu called his grandson: "Zhao Han is Zhao Yan of Luling. Go to Ji'an Mansion immediately. Whatever he asks you to do, do it honestly!"
There was a big disaster in the Jiangnan provinces, and Fei Ruyi came back last year.
Although the family is not allowed to wear fancy clothes, his clothes are still very fancy. Hearing this, Fei Ruyi immediately became happy: "Haha, Brother Han has rebelled. No wonder he has a high opinion of status when he was young. Grandpa, don't worry,
My grandson will go to Ji'an after the Chinese New Year."
As for Fei Yuanyi, an old man who never died, he had a sudden idea and called his son to whisper: "You said that Fei Chun is in charge of money and food, just like a crane in charge of military affairs. Can you abolish Zhao Han's self-reliance?"
Fei Yinghuan was dumbfounded: "Father, do you really think the Fei family is living too well? Even if you kill Zhao Han, who can control the civil and military forces under his command? If it is found out that the Fei family is the instigator, none of the Fei family's children will survive.
Even the soldiers under Ruhe will kill Ruhe and then come to kill the Fei family!"
"How could this person have such prestige?" Fei Yuanyi asked in surprise.
Fei Yinghuan said: "Once Zhao Han dies, his soldiers will all come from poor backgrounds, and there are many people who hate the rich. Then they will go crazy, no one can control them, and they will kill the entire Jiangxi gentry until they are bleeding like rivers!"
Fei Yuanyi was so frightened that he could not discuss the matter anymore.
As Fei Yinghuan said, although all Jiangxi gentry hated Zhao Han, most of them hoped that Zhao Han would live a long life.
The power of the peasant association is so terrifying. Recently, in some newly occupied lands, unscrupulous people have invaded the houses of wealthy households in groups under the banner of the peasant association. Those who have grievances will seek revenge, and those who have grievances will seek revenge.
The enemy directly robbed and raped.
The top brass of the General Military Mansion were extremely angry and issued a death order to control the situation and severely punish those who took the lead in causing trouble.
This kind of thing happened even before Zhao Han died. If Zhao Han had an accident someday, how could anyone stop him? There was no need for his soldiers to kill indiscriminately. Many people would have to settle accounts with the landlords!
Zhao Han must not die, this is the consensus of the Jiangxi gentry.
