The writing customs of Wei State are actually very similar to those of the Jin Dynasty.
I think they all come from the same line. Even if there are additions and subtractions in later generations, there aren't many things that can be changed.
It's just that compared to the Lieyun clan of the Jin state, the laws of the Wei state are more lengthy and complicated.
No wonder, after all, it is a great country with a history of thousands of years. Although it has gone through several turmoils, its system has miraculously been preserved.
Here, more than any other country, family status is valued, so the ten major families that have finally stood at the top of the aristocratic family peak will protect their own family's interests at all costs.
Only in this way can they ensure that their children will obtain the most benefits, obtain the most important position in the court, and then continue the glory of their family.
Here, whether you can get a good pregnancy is probably the primary issue of survival.
Above the ten major families, there are the forces of three kings and one saint.
The three kings are North King Luan Zhen, Xiao King Qi Zhengxuan, and Lu King Fu Yunmu.
These three families all once produced the Emperor Zun of the Wei Kingdom. However, due to various reasons, the Emperor Zun's family kept changing, so they could only consider themselves royal families.
But now the royal family sitting in the imperial city has been in charge of the Wei Kingdom for more than three hundred years. Now there are only a few people, including the sick and frail Crown Prince. In this way, the three kings are ready to make a move.
But today's emperor is very resourceful, and his balancing skills are even more proficient.
After provoking the three families to fight among themselves, he was able to sit safely on the trembling emperor's throne.
However, no one dares to be disrespectful to that saint, no matter whether they are from aristocratic families, the Three Kings or the Emperor.
Yisheng is the highest ruling body of the Wei Kingdom - the Holy Temple.
Since the founding of the Wei Kingdom, the temple has existed.
The first person in the temple is the temple master. This person is a dragon who always lives in the temple.
If there is any dispute between the family or the three kings, they can go to the temple to resolve it.
But this does not mean that the power of the temple is superior to that of the emperor.
Because even the temple master must respect the emperor's opinion. The temple cannot deny the emperor's order. At the same time, once the temple makes a ruling, the emperor must also acknowledge it.
For thousands of years, the temple has been treated fairly and has been loved by everyone in the country.
But as family and family, the friction between the king and the king became more and more difficult to reconcile, in recent years, the temple has rarely adjudicated these matters.
However, it does not affect the sacred status of the temple in the slightest.
After looking at it until her eyes hurt, Lin Mengya finally understood the situation of the entire Wei Kingdom.
No wonder An Zichen couldn't finish explaining it to her in ten months. Even with the help of the Shennong System, it took her half a month to stuff all these things into the Shennong System.
It is obviously not easy to understand a country that has existed for thousands of years in a short period of time.
After sitting for fifteen days, Lin Mengya walked out of her yard for the first time.
Outside, there are many new family members in the palace.
I heard from Bai Su that the palace family members who were scattered outside would come back every day.
The main house definitely cannot be moved in easily. Fortunately, the most important thing the Gong family lacks now is money.
After buying all the vacant houses for sale in the city, we can still accommodate them.
However, many people in the city began to see prices rise when they saw the Gong family buying real estate. In just a few days, the price more than doubled.
When Gong Bin showed her the bill to look at, Lin Mengya just sneered.
"Short-sighted, you really think that my Gong family's money is all blown by the strong wind."
Although there is no shortage of money, it has been saved bit by bit by the Gong family for generations.
Those lands originally belonged to the Gong family, but now they spent a lot of money to buy them back, which made them a lot of money.
Now, he is actually speculating on real estate. He is really greedy.
"Then shall we continue to buy?"
Gong Bin also felt a little pain. In recent days, many sellers who had bought houses at the original price actually came back to him to ask for the difference.
Originally, the money and goods were settled, and they didn't make a counter-offer. It was a consensual transaction.
But after they heard that the price had increased a lot, they started making trouble again.
He must have calculated that the Gong family was kind-hearted, so he resorted to the trick of rolling around, crying and making trouble.
A simple summary is three words: shameless!
"Are there any officials in charge in the city?"
"Originally, it was managed by the Gong family. Later, the emperor appointed someone as the city lord because the Gong family had no official head. But this person is really slippery. He has always been a loser and cannot be offended by anyone."
This kind of talent is the most hateful. He does not have a firm stand. He can welcome anyone who comes to power with a smile. Anyway, he will not lose anything to please anyone.
But at the same time, whoever is at a disadvantage will not miss many old feelings.
Once the door is closed, no one can knock it open.
In this way, when the people he rejected gain power again, he will immediately greet them with a smile and swear to the sky that they are all blaming others. You know clearly that it is his fault, but you still can't control him.
Therefore, let alone showing an attitude, even if the Gong family has changed from what it used to be, in the end it is still just playing around in its own nest.
The city lord naturally refused to come forward.
"How many people come to ask for the price difference, and do they have any characteristics?"
Gong Bin hesitated for a moment, thought carefully, and then said.
"We only started buying a house half a month ago. All the houses we bought before were sold on behalf of others. The owners had either left their hometowns or were preparing to leave. The remaining ones were made from the surplus of residents in the city. . These are the majority of the troublemakers."
This makes sense. Originally, due to the decline of the Gong family's power, Feiye City was no longer as prosperous as before, so many people moved away.
For this group of people, it would be a surprise if their houses could be sold, and the prices are set by them themselves, so they will come back to look for them.
As for the remaining people, the price is actually several percent higher than before.
It's a pity that they are all a bunch of wolves who can't get enough to eat.
"Ignore him. The city lord will not pay attention to us, and naturally he will not pay attention to them. Just leave them alone. Anyway, the house deeds are in our hands now. Please tell everyone, please, brother, whoever dares to come to find trouble, don't be polite. They If you stay at home and refuse to leave, then just throw some swill and excrement out and there will be no need to cause any conflict with them."
Gong Bin's smile hesitated for a moment, then he smiled and shook his head.
What should I say? His little sister's methods are always so different.
"Is there anything else?"
Raising her head, Lin Mengya looked at Gong Bin, who hesitated a bit between his eyebrows. Finally, he sighed and took out a black invitation from his sleeve.
"This is an invitation from the slave market in Shinshu to our Gong family. In ten days, there will be a very large slave auction. I didn't dare to let my great ancestors know about this."
Gong Bin's voice was a little low. He stood there, his eyes filled with stubbornness and unventable anger.
He clenched the invitation tightly in his hands, as if he wanted to crush the thin booklet into pieces.
"Are there people from our Gong family here?"
The members of the Gong family were sold into slavery, which was the humiliation left behind by the family when they were at their weakest.
With his eyes closed, Gong Bin nodded.
"Xinzhou is jointly controlled by the Rong family and the Xu family. If they hadn't secretly colluded with the Yu family and Gong Zhe, how could anyone dare to sell our Gong family as slaves!"
His voice was stained with the smell of blood.
Some things can only be repaid with blood.
Lin Mengya gently and deftly took out the invitation from his hand. On it, the word "palace" is gilded, but it is like the gaping mouth of a devil, which is disgusting.
"Go, why not go? When the time comes, I will personally take you with me."
The slender fingertips gently turned this invitation full of sin. The tree wanted to be quiet but the wind was not stopping. Since you are coming, don't regret it.
"But how should we explain it to our great-grandfather?"
He must have been waiting for her words for a long time, because Gong Bin's eyes that suddenly opened were filled with eagerness to try.
"How is Anjia's situation going now?"
Lin Mengya thought for a while and asked in a low voice.
"An family?" Gong Bin looked a little surprised, and then replied: "Your second brother led someone to sneak in secretly. The situation of the Gong family is not as urgent as An Ruchu said. It's just because An Zichen has never been there. According to the news, the situation between the two parties has reached a stalemate. But this An Ruchu is not simple. I heard that he is the one responsible for mediating between the ninth uncle and the fourth uncle of the An family. Now, he can be regarded as one of the most important figures in the An family. "
Nodding, it seemed that she now had a rough guess as to An Zichen's whereabouts.
"Hasn't our Gong family been doing business for generations? What kind of business did we do in the past?"
"Well, because the first generation of the family head had an order that all descendants of the Gong family should not be involved in the salt industry and mining industry, so our Gong family has been running restaurants and inns for generations. However, in recent years, the heirs have withered, and many shops have not been able to do so. If we don’t close it down, it will be very difficult to reopen it now.”
Wonderful! Lin Mengya's eyes lit up. The first generation head of the Gong family was really a leader with true insights.
They are not allowed to get involved in those two industries because they are related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Opening inns and restaurants will not only not affect the interests of the royal family and various aristocratic families, but can also provide tax revenue for the royal family and other families.
In this way, even if the Gong family expands their business, it will only make people think that they are just guys who open a restaurant.
Whether it is using a woman as the head of the family or prescribing a way to make a living for future generations, the wisdom of this ancestor of the Gong family is everywhere displayed.
"Well, let me go and tell my great-grandfather that we go out together. Firstly, we want to see how the An family is doing. After all, we still owe them a favor. Secondly, I want to see our family's previous property, but we always sit back and have nothing. This is not the way. In this way, no matter how long we are outside, great-grandfather will not be suspicious easily. "
Gong Bin looked at her with some emotion. Compared to fooling his great-grandfather, the five of them bundled together would not be as good as his little sister.
