Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 115
As Shen Chong made this choice, everyone fell silent.Among them, the old man's expression changed most violently. He looked at Shen Chong, then at Shen Zhezi, and suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, but his expression was a bit ferocious: "I see, I see... Your father and son conspired together, inside and outside. Collusion is to wipe out dissidents and control the Dongzong alone!"

"Ha! Shen Shiju, everyone talks about your ability to change things. But I don't want you to be ruthless to outsiders and to the clan! We useless old people, I'm afraid you already have a grudge in your heart and want to use this to sweep you out of the clan. Only you can make decisions about family affairs with one word, without any constraints, right!"

There is always a class of people in this world who are not satisfied with the status quo, but are timid to make choices, unwilling to face up to their own inaction, but hate others' responsibility.This kind of long-standing malpractice is not unique to the Shen family, it can be extended to the whole world, and there is no exception.This type of person always criticizes the status quo and is cynical, but when faced with a problem, he can never come up with a specific solution.

Although Shen Zhezi is not kind, he also claims to be tolerant.People like Zhu Gong and Yu Tan who clearly show hostility to the Shen family can put aside their past differences when they need to cooperate.Because in the final analysis, the conflict between him and these people lies in the position, and the position can be switched. As long as he is willing to do things, there is the possibility of cooperation.

The current disadvantage is that there are too many people who talk too much. They don't do anything, they only criticize, they never make mistakes, and they always stand in the right direction of morality. What they say to these people is just like chicken and duck, which is useless.

If these people are willing to restrain themselves, then they will put them on the shelf and take care of them. Anyway, the Shen family is not short of these people's food and clothing.But if what they think and say is inappropriate, and they have to criticize and criticize everything violently, and even affect the normal operation, what is there to be soft on!
"Now that I have said this, my uncle thinks that I am incapable of running the family and sweeping away dissidents. I wonder if he can teach me?"

"Hmph, you are an old disciple of Ji Guo, gifted by heaven, and well-known outside, how dare I, an old man, teach you?" The old man snorted coldly, with a look of disdain on his face.

"In terms of relatives and sparseness, the uncle's closest relatives live in the high hall, and the nephews and grandchildren are obedient and respectful. In terms of age, the uncles are spring and autumn, and the nephews and grandchildren are not as weak as the crown. In terms of virtuous and foolishness, the uncles have experienced all things in the world and have insight and sophistication, while the nephews are young and shallow. It’s rare to get one. My father traveled abroad, and the patriarchal patriarch was the head of the family. He took on this important task, and he was sincere and fearful. He did not dare to be short. But if there is a need, he will visit one and give two. Greetings in daily life, for fear of being neglected.”

Shen Zhezi said with emotion: "With my stupidity and obedient attitude, I want to teach but I can't get it. Cold criticism is flooding inside and outside. I am old and immoral. Who are you?"

"You, Zhu Zi'an, dare to insult me!" The old man had just experienced today that Shen Zhezi was like a sword, his beard trembled with anger, and he couldn't control himself.

Shen Zhezi didn't look at him anymore, he stepped forward and held up the family book, facing the crowd, he said: "Today's discussion on the division of the clan did not come from my father. I run the family as the head of the family, and it is determined by the patriarchal law. How can it be because of one person's virtuousness and foolishness? If you believe in my talent and are willing to entrust your family property to each other, I should thank you. If you think I am stupid and difficult to teach, ask yourself to quit, and you will never dare to complain!"

"Today's prosperity is all thanks to the support of the clan! All the clan members who want to leave the family belong to the clan property, and return when the overflow is doubled. After three years, the mu will be paid out, and the money will be given away! What is the clan? There is a way of gathering, and there is separation. Sadness. Family sacrifices cannot be shared, how can riches and honor be monopolized!"

When everyone heard Shen Zhezi's words, they couldn't help gasping.

In the past, Shen Zhezi gave them the impression that he was mean and strict, ungrateful, monopolistic, and difficult to work with.However, this kid happened to be the eldest son of the main clan's direct line, occupying the righteousness of the patriarchal clan.Today, they even brought up such a serious discussion about the division of clans. I thought they would finally bow their heads because of helplessness, but they didn't expect Shen Zhezi to change the subject and throw out such favorable conditions!

Dongzong's rise is obvious, which is obvious to all.However, these people have been left out in the cold right now. No matter how powerful Dongzong is in the future, what benefits will they gain?Instead of chasing and waiting for a vain and unrealistic vision, how about enjoying real wealth and benefits now!
There are many trade-offs in the mind, and even if someone couldn't help it, he stepped forward and asked tentatively: "Zhezi is serious?"

"The patriarchal clan of the ancestors is above, if there is a word wrong, I am willing to suffer the blood punishment, and I will have no complaints!"

Shen Zhezi said in a low voice, the conditions he offered were far more than generous, all over Wuzhong, there is no such richness.He didn't use much of the gold, silver, and money seized by the Yan family. Apart from wanting to change the currency, he also had another purpose to divide the clan today.

Before that, he made these people riot, which made them even more dissatisfied with the status quo, and exacerbated the centrifugal trend.Now throwing out the promise of huge profits, although there are many ways to seduce, it always leaves these people with a choice.If you are willing to stay and endure as your family, then be safe and not make trouble.If you don't want to stay, then donate a lot of money.

Whether you want a bigger prospect or immediate benefits, everyone has their own ambitions, and we will never force them.The reason why it takes so much trouble is that some people care about both ends, wanting the benefits in front of them, but don't want to give up their future prospects!If you don't want to choose, I will force you to choose!
As soon as Shen Zhezi finished speaking, the old man stood up holding the jade stick, and said coldly, "We can't conspire with each other, the old man is going to quit the family today! My family has the talents to do things, how can we take the family business lightly?" Put it in the hands of a crazy child!"

"My uncle is old and strong, and he wants to be self-reliant. I really admire him. There is just one thing I need to ask. Do I need to fold in the property that was withdrawn from the house a few days ago?"

Now that he has decided to spend money to clean up this batch of dregs, Shen Zhezi doesn't care about such small details.But this old guy really hates it, eats mine, takes mine, pats my ass and scolds me before leaving, don't take too much advantage!

Hearing Shen Zhezi's words, everyone's expressions changed again, and when they looked at the old man again, they looked a little unfriendly.The old man took the goods and left as soon as possible, why bother to use his tongue to find trouble for himself!
Hearing this, the old man became even more furious, and suddenly dropped the jade stick in his hand into the hall: "Everything is up to you, you son of a bitch, don't ask me!"

Looking at the flying jade chips, Shen Zhezi sneered, turned his head and said to the servants behind him: "Uncle is old and slippery, this jade staff is folded into the public use." The implication is that your family should not think about taking other property in vain. take!
"Zhezi, my father has such a temper, why bother with him. Uncle knows that you have always been humble, so don't be offended by it!"

The old man was forced to retreat, but his son couldn't just sit back and watch such a huge loss of property. Regardless of the whiplash wound on his body, he rushed into the hall with a grin and bowed to Shen Zhezi to apologize, and then turned to Shen Chong with a bitter face: "two Brother, I have a large family and it is very difficult to be self-reliant..."

Shen Chong nodded slightly, and then said to Shen Zhezi: "Qingque, your uncle Jiang Gui's nature, as a junior, you should bear it!"

The old man was run over by others one after another and was useless. He didn't cultivate his morals, and his expression was extremely indignant, but when he saw his son's begging face, he finally sighed and kept silent.

"The spring and autumn offerings are the proper meaning. How can we treat the clan members harshly because of this. Elders who wish to be self-reliant can decide today. After the dark day, you should invite the elders of the two clans and the high-ranking sages in the county to gather at the family temple. Let’s deal with this matter together.”

Shen Zhezi expressed his position again, and then signaled his servants to put out the book case, present paper and pens, and register these people.

The reason why they did not choose to deal with it immediately was because the Dongzong of the Shen family was very powerful now, and no matter whether it was right or wrong, the main clan would inevitably provoke controversy and be accused of incompatibility by blood relatives.

At this time, there are still a few days before the dark day, which is to give a buffer time to set the tone for the fermentation of public opinion.Withholding the wealth these people deserve, even if they have complaints about the division of clans in their hearts, they dare not go out and speak ill of the master clan, but instead want to say more good things.When the tone of public opinion is set, the villagers are already preconceived, and it doesn't matter if they repeat their words in the future.

Seeing that the book table was set up, some members of the tribe were impatient to write down their names, and decided to separate and stand on their own.Someone took the lead, and the rest also stepped forward one by one to write down their names.Seeing this scene, several elders in the hall who were devoted to Shen Chong and his son, or who simply cared about Dongzong all closed their eyes and sighed, unable to bear to see the scene of this clan's separation.

Money touches people's hearts. Almost every one of the hundreds of clansmen in the hall decided to separate and stand on their own. There are nearly 300 people in total.It's not that Shen Zhezi has become the target of public criticism. There are more than a thousand members of the Dongzong family, and everyone who has a job is busy outside. There is no time to squat in the old house and make a fuss.

These are the tribe members who have been eliminated and marginalized in the past year or so. Even if they leave, they will not be able to shake the foundation of Dongzong.

At the beginning of the new year, Wu Xing was in turmoil one after another. First, the Yan family led Hu to create chaos and was besieged by many families, and then news broke that the Shen family's Dongzong was going to split.There are dark places in people's hearts, and soon some people speculated that Shen Chong would not allow blood relatives, and wanted to exclude dissidents and control the family alone.

However, afterward, some people said vividly that Shen Chong did not tolerate blood relatives, but those short-sighted members of the Dong clan saw that the extermination of the Yan clan was very profitable, and they wanted to use the branch clan to stand on their own to divide up the wealth.

Even though some people raised objections, the narrator described everyone's speech and behavior in such a detailed way that no one could believe it.Moreover, none of the members of the Shen clan who belonged to the clan refuted it, so this argument quickly became the mainstream of public opinion.When it comes to the division of the Shen family, one must ridicule those short-sighted members of the Shen family who clamor for the division.

Not long after the dark day of the first month, in the Shen family temple located in Panxi, Wukang, the Shen family's Eastern sect officially began to divide.The sect division was originally a private matter of each family, so it should not be understood by outsiders, but nowadays the Shen family is very powerful, and most of the Wu Xing families have interests with the Shen family, so many people still went to the venue to watch the ceremony.

The chief priest of Shen's family temple is Xizong. At this time, the elders of Xizong are sitting on the side facing the family temple, and further down are the elders of the two sects and people from various families in the county to observe the ceremony.

There are two execution platforms at the main entrance of the family temple, and one of them, Shen Chong, kneels on it. Once the family is divided, Shen Chong will be whipped.As the head of the family, being unable to unite with the tribe is an original sin, which is irrefutable.The head of the household who is independent of the branch clan will also go to the execution platform to be whipped. After the punishment, he will take back his own clan property.

This kind of punishment was originally required for the ceremony, to warn the tribe to be united, and it is impossible to really beat people to bloody blood.However, after bearing hundreds of whips, Shen Chong's clothes were ruined and his face was pale.

As for the people of different clans, their reactions were different, some were secretly happy, while others were disappointed.But the land deeds and goods received by everyone are real, and in the eyes of the audience, it undoubtedly proves the rumors spread before that these short-sighted people are indeed forcing the main sect to seek distribution for the goods. Zong!
Shen Zhezi was in charge of distributing the clan property and goods, and occasionally looked up at the father who was being whipped constantly, secretly rejoicing in his heart that the clan was divided early, otherwise he would kneel there to split the clan later, wouldn't he die of embarrassment?Although this idea is very disrespectful to the old man, he is really happy in his heart that he can save himself the pain of flesh and blood in the future.

This time, the division of sects, wealth and gifts, and guidance of public opinion have minimized hidden dangers.There are more than [-] hectares of land in the ancestral property, and it is even more difficult to count gold, silver, money and the like.But getting rid of these burdens by doing so means a lot in the long run!
Shen Zhezi couldn't help laughing at the sight of those tribesmen who bought a lot of wealth hard to hide their joy.Although the goods he distributed were valuable gold, silver, pearls and jade, the actual distribution of goods was very little.How easy is it to be self-reliant without material support?In the year of great barrenness, it is hard to buy a piece of rice with a thousand dollars, and the rich die in the jade house, what is so strange?
The network that he built covering the entire Wu Xing is to increase the dependence and demand of each company on transactions through the rapid allocation of materials.As long as these channels are mastered, how much wealth is distributed today can be rolled back in the future, and this group of people with extremely strong purchasing power can be cultivated, and the market can also be warmed up.No matter how you calculate it, it’s not a loss.

If you don't want to play with me, that's fine, then I'll play you to death!

Without the constraints of his clan status, he really doesn't have to take this group of people seriously. Although he won't deliberately target them, it is reasonable to treat them equally with other families in the future.If these people are willing to settle down and pay back, if they still want to entangle with Dongzong, then he will show no mercy!
　This book will not turn into a Zhaidou style. When it comes to the politics of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it discusses the clan as a whole unit to discuss its political, economic, cultural and other meanings, but there are not many discussions on the ecological environment within the clan.This book covers a wide range of descriptions and does not focus on a certain aspect. It is my little ambition. I hope that everyone can forgive and make suggestions, and correct suggestions will be adopted for corrections.It is no longer the author's job alone to write a book, and his grades have steadily increased. I would like to thank everyone for their support. . .
