Shuoquan City has suffered from wars and was once full of dead silence, but people's hands can always create miracles. Although the Xiliang people withdrew their troops for more than half a year, Shuoquan City has regained a little vitality, and all walks of life in the city are also rapidly returning to their former days. Although all kinds of materials are in short supply, people can no longer buy all the things they need as before, but every morning, people still go to the market to gather, food is scarce, oil jars, soy sauce and vinegar are also in short supply, rice, grain and oil The price of salt is now not only very high, but also the supply is limited. Food supplies that used to be available all day long are now only available for a while in the morning. If you come late, you can only return empty-handed.

The price of the goods is high, and the government will not be able to forcefully suppress it for a while. After all, things are rare and expensive, but the goods are in short supply. In addition, the goods shipped from other places are not as convenient as before. The bandits haunted and often looted goods on the way. It is only said that when they fought with the Xiliang army, they attacked and defended. In order to resist the rapid advance of Xiliang, the Qin army destroyed the roads along the way. It is easy to destroy the main roads. , want to recover, not only need a lot of money, but also need a lot of time.

There is no shortage of time for Xiguan to recover, but what is lacking is money, so it is not an easy task to find a few wide and smooth roads in Xiguan, especially those many levels that have been destroyed. , a dilapidated state, showing the decadence after the war. In the past, road cards charged fees, and as long as they took some money, they could pass smoothly. Now, although the checkpoints have been destroyed, there is no need to pay tolls for the time being, but the roads are blocked, and some river bridges If it was destroyed, the cargo team could only take a detour. The road that could be reached in one day before, now even takes two or three days to arrive, and there are also ghost-like bandits to worry about.

If it weren't for the fact that the goods in Xiguan can be sold at a high price and there is a lot of profit margin, otherwise there are not many merchants willing to come to such a dangerous road.

The seven surnames of Xiguan have now begun to embark on the road of recovery. They have paid a great price from the pass, obtained a large amount of grain seeds, kept their own land, and hired long-term laborers to plant food. Centipede insects, died Not stiff, although the seven surnames in Xiguan have suffered heavy losses, they are deeply rooted after all. The family has a big business and the land has been kept. , so it is not difficult to carry out business cooperation with wealthy merchants in the pass. [

The seven surnames in Xiguan were originally representatives of the gentry in Xiguan. Before the war, they had trade relations with wealthy merchants in the pass. Merchants from all over the country rarely directly inserted themselves into the local business circle when they did business. They often cooperated with each other. Just like the gentry in Xiguan transported the specialty goods from the northwest to the pass, handed them over to the wealthy merchants in the pass for sale, and then the two parties shared the profits. In the same way, the merchants in the pass cannot directly enter the shopping malls in the northwest, and their goods also need Digested through the local gentry in the Northwest.

The revival of Xiguan after the war, for the officials and people of Xiguan, has a long way to go and a difficult road ahead, but for many businessmen in the pass, it may not be a bad thing. They know very well that in this period, many goods can be sold in Xiguan. They sell at high prices and have extremely high profits. They cannot enter the Xiguan shopping mall by themselves, but they can sell goods through the local gentry. Of course, the seven surnames of Xiguan can also clearly understand the common interests of both parties. Merchants in the pass need to use the Xiguan gentry to obtain more Big profits, and the Xiguan gentry also need the support of the wealthy merchants in the pass to restore their control over the Northwest business. This is beneficial to both parties, and the cooperation between the two parties is logical.

The Su family is the head of the seven surnames in Xiguan, and all households from all sides have returned one after another. Although Mrs. Su is old, at this time, naturally, he cannot hide away and enjoy the blessings. He is the highest living elder of the Su family. The old man is also the head of the Su family. Three of the old master Su's brothers have left, but they have left behind many heirs. Lin Lang is only one of them, and his father ranks fourth among his peers. Su Zhongyan is in the same generation, and Su Zhongyan's generation has more than 20 descendants, and has given birth to many offspring. In the generation of Lin Lang and Su Zhongyan's son Su Zhen, there are no. 60 brothers and sisters, big and small, the Su family Adding up men, women and children, there are hundreds of people, children of the Sioux family, marrying offspring of other gentry, plus business partners, in this way, a huge family network is formed, so Such a large family not only has a huge economic foundation, but also must have officials and officials in the government. Such a family has both businessmen and officials, and they are integrated into one body. Naturally, there is no doubt that they have become A huge family with deep roots.

As for the seven surnames in Xiguan, each family has such strength. They are representatives of the Xiguan gentry, and they are also a bridge between the government and the people. If such a bridge collapses, it will actually be of no benefit to the people, so The government has never been without full support. If a local government does not get full and strong support, then the adults of this government will not be able to sit firmly on the chairs under their buttocks.

During his lifetime, the old man almost saw the Sioux family suffer annihilation. Now that he finally has a chance to rejuvenate the family, the old man certainly cannot take it lightly.

After the old man returned to Xiguan, he first rectified the whole family. After the catastrophe, the old man knew that many things in the family could no longer be the same as before. The family has a large population and huge wealth. Many key positions are not to choose the most suitable person to be the head, but to choose the status and personal likes and dislikes. Many talented concubines and unfavored children are not reused. Many important errands, the old man knew that it can no longer be done like that now, so he made a big rectification. As long as they are the children of the Su clan, no matter whether they are descendants or concubines, they can use their talents according to their ability. The order entered the ethnology, and it was stipulated that if it could not pass the examination and approval of the elders organized in the clan, then it could only continue to study in the clan academy without any errands, and the monthly silver would be pitifully low.

Although many people complained about this in their hearts, it made many members of the clan who had been suppressed rejoice. Although the Su family was still at a low point, the morale of the clan was already very high under the old man's rectification. The elders organized by the old man Yes, the children of the clan are specially evaluated and used according to their aptitude, which makes the Su family full of vitality.

The old man understands a truth, the destruction from the outside is not the most terrible thing, as long as the sparks are preserved, they can still make a comeback, but once the family becomes corrupt and centrifugal, then such a family will easily split from the inside and eventually decline. The foreign gentry are eyeing up and want to swallow up the weakened local gentry. Of course, the old man does not allow such a thing to happen. As the representative of the native land, the Sioux must take up the important task of leading the Xiguan gentry and lead by example.

The other clans were obviously also influenced by the Sioux clan, and they all carried out rectification within the clan. Although the rectification efforts were different, the cohesion was greatly strengthened in this predicament.

As soon as it was dawn, the old man had already got up, and after washing up, he was going to the clan's meeting hall.

Now it is an extraordinary time, and the top and bottom of the Sioux clan are busy with many things, whether it is farming or business, and the old man will listen to the reports of the clan leaders in the meeting hall every three days. The ten principals must also rush to the meeting hall at Yinshi, waiting for the old lady to hear them.

After the old man was seated, he interviewed more than a dozen principals in a row. Everyone knew that the old man's energy was limited and his body was critical, so he would use the simplest words to report the events within three days. If the old man nodded, the principal could step down. If the old man finds a problem, he will correct one or two.

After seeing more than a dozen people, the old man was a little tired and took a short rest, but at this moment he heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and then Su Zhongyan had already entered from the door, the old man frowned, although Su Zhongyan was his own son and one of the principals, However, he came in without being informed by himself, which violated the family rules. Just as he was about to reprimand him, Su Zhongyan obviously knew that the old man was about to get angry, so he fell to his knees and said, "Father, it is the son's fault that he ventured in, but There is something that I have to report to my father!"

Seeing Su Zhongyan's stern expression, the old man knew that the matter was serious, so he frowned and said, "What happened? Why are you in such a panic?"

Su Zhongyan hurriedly said: "When the old eleven came over early in the morning, he ran into a group of people...!"

"Meet a group of people?" The old man didn't understand for a while, "Who are they? What's all the fuss about!"

Su Zhongyan glanced at the old man, and said: "Yes...it's Ma Xiangu...and not only Ma Xiangu, but also several Su elders are among them, Eleventh said that he also saw Zhu Qingye inside!"

"Zhu Qingye?" The old man frowned, "Why did Zhu Qingye and Ma Xiangu get together?" He raised his hand and said, "You ask Eleven to come over."

Su Zhongyan went out, and soon a middle-aged man came in, this is Su Zhongyan's cousin, the eleventh, named Zhongkui, entered the house, immediately knelt down, and said: "Old Master, when I came here in the morning, I passed the temple. , I saw Ma Xiangu come out of the temple, hundreds of people gathered there, and some people gathered there, and several elders were also inside, Zhu Qingye led his gangsters, and they were also in there...!" [

The old man narrowed his eyes, pondered for a while, and quickly said: "It's definitely not a good thing for these people to get together, old eleven, have you asked them what they want to do?"

Su Zhongkui said: "My nephew also wanted to go over and ask, but before he got close, Zhu Qingye saw him. He asked someone to come forward to stop his nephew, and said that if his nephew approached, he would cut off one of his arms. ...!"

The old man sneered and said, "When did Zhu Qingye become so arrogant?"

Su Zhongyan also said angrily: "I used to see people from our Su family named Zhu who looked like a dog and only wagged their tails. Now that they have become more courageous, they dare to talk to Old Eleven like that... I thought he died in Xiliang. Unexpectedly, this kid also escaped a disaster, and now he has returned to Shuoquan to hang out in his old profession...!"
