Wuhu Mingyue

Sun Sheng's words were like dropping a pebble suddenly on a calm lake, making everyone's eyes focus on him!

Ge Hong asked in surprise: "You know?"

Before Sun Sheng could answer, Cao had already said excitedly: "Lord Ge, Sun Sheng should know, Sun Sheng memorizes from his extensive knowledge, reads a lot of books, Yuan'er also told me, he is Sun Chu's grandson!"

"Mr. Sun's descendants? No wonder Xu Pan values ​​you so much. If so, you might as well tell us what you know about the Kang Corporation!"

Sun Sheng nodded, and said directly: "The Zhao family has always wanted to seek the position of Feng Yi's prefect, and my grandfather Sun Chu used to guard Feng Yi, and Puban is not far from Feng Yi, so the situation of this generation is not far away. My grandfather did record it, and I was lucky enough to read some of it!"

"Oh, since that's the case, Sun Sheng, why don't you say something!"

"Yes, my lord, the Kangbi Maiduo in Zhao Ling's mouth should not be the name of a Central Plains person, but if my prediction is correct, her surname should also be Kang!"

"Hmm, it's possible!?"

"Guanzhong, Hexi, Longyou, Wuxing (now Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas), Liangzhou, Yecheng, and even Jianye (many of the Kang surnames in the Jiangdong area were migrated by Kangju people living in India) and other places have the Kang surname distribution. But to Feng Yi, there are two Kang clans that are closest to Puban!"

"Which two?"

"Lantian Kang family and Pingyang Kang family! These two branches are from the Kang family who migrated from the Kangju country!"

"Oh?!"

"The Kang family in Lantian moved to the Lantian area of ​​Guanzhong Mountain after the Qi Wannian Rebellion. They are not very powerful. It is absolutely impossible for the Zhao clan to attach too much importance to this Kang family!" ("Liang Shu" Volume 18 "Kang Family" Xuan Zhuan records the Kang family who settled in Lantian. Later, during the Southern Song Dynasty and the Yongchu period, that is, between 420 and 422 AD, Kang Mu led [-] clansmen into Xiangyang. The Overseas Chinese County was set up near Xiangyang, named Lantian Township, Huashan County, to commemorate their surrender, so far it is no longer called Lantian Kangshi, but Lantian Kangshi, but this is a later story.)

"If it's not the Lantian Kang family, then it is the Pingyang Kang family?" (Evidence about Lantian and Lantian common use: "Book of Jin" Volume 118 "Records of Yao Xingzai" says: "Yang Wu'an Township Hou Kang Huan drove Bailuyuan Dihu Kang Huan in "Hundreds of Families", "Book of Songs" Volume 47 "Biography of Fu Hongzhi" says: "Liu Yu entered Guanzhong, Hongzhi and others entered Lantian and recruited Huairong Jin. Pang Binzhi from Jin, Dai Yang, and Kang Heng from Hu Wait for each to lead his troops to naturalize." Kang Heng in the middle, according to Mr. Tang Changru's textual research, both of them are Lantian Zhukang. It can be seen that Lantian in the Western Jin Dynasty is now Lantian in Guanzhong, and Huashan in the later Southern Song Dynasty lived in Lantian County. It is Qiaoxian County in Xiangyang. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the place names were very confusing and repeated.)

"I also think it is more likely to be the Pingyang Kang family!"

"Oh? Why are you so sure?"

"Your Majesty Ge doesn't know that the most powerful Kang clan in Kangju is the Pingyang Kang clan! Most of them came to Pingyang following the Tuge Huns, but they didn't belong to the [-]th century when the Huns entered the fortress. Kind of fool!"

"Why is this?!"

"I don't know, but this Pingyang Kang family is different from the Lantian Kang family. The Lantian Kang family is brave, but the Pingyang Kang family is a family heirloom of merchants. According to the notes, this Pingyang Kang family is not only very dignified in Pingyang, but also controls the commercial roads of the entire Western Region!"

"Business in the entire Western Region? It's so powerful?!"

"Maybe not only the commercial roads in the Western Regions, but also the frequent activities of the Kang clan in places farther than the Western Regions. Even in my Central Plains and Jiangdong, there are many traces of the Kang clan!"

"Is this also from your grandfather's notes?"

"That's right, grandfather seems to be very concerned about this Kang family, so even their habits and customs are recorded!"

"Oh? Come and listen!"

"According to these children of the Kang clan from Kangju, when they were born, the elders would give them some honey first, and put something like glue in their hands, hoping that they could grow up Often some pleasant and sweet words, when you hold money, you should stick to your belongings like glue!" (Kang Ju Kang did exist as a merchant nation in history, and was known as the commercial nation in the East, similar to the Phoenix in the West Ji people and Jews, according to An Lushan, the protagonist of the Anshi Rebellion in later generations, was also the son of the Hu merchants of the Kang Kingdom, and originally took Kang as his surname)

"Sun Sheng, although you are old, I, Ge Hong, have learned the ability to memorize extensive knowledge today, but you haven't. How powerful is this Kang family?"

"Master Ge, do you still remember the situation of Xie Aisuo? Zhao Ling's younger sister is a member of the Kang clan, and they were separated from each other. According to my own speculation, they should be separated by the Kang clan when they were very young. They Send Zhao Ling to the Zhao Clan, and use Kang Bimaiduo, who is also Zhao Ling's own sister, as a hostage to coerce him to work loyally for the Kang Clan!"

"what do you mean?!"

"My own clan members have to use this method to prevent them from resisting and obediently obey the family's arrangements. It can be seen that this Pingyang Kang family is strong and domineering. Such clan rules are by no means ordinary households or ordinary big clans. And my grandfather also recorded in his notes that this Pingyang Kang family not only has a big business, but its patriarch has also held the high position of Tuge Huns for a long time!"

"Ah! I remembered, it seems that the Taishi Ling of the Huns and the Han Kingdom is now called Kangxiang!" The Taishi Ling in "The Battle of Jinyang in the Official History: A Hujia Rescue the Lonely City" will know the lofty status of this Taishi Ling official in the Xiongnu Han Kingdom)

"The Kang family not only has merchants but also a large number of Buddhists, and it has been infiltrating into various parts of the Central Plains since the Han Dynasty. I remember that during the time of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, there was a man named Kang Ju who wrote a Buddhist classic "Ask Hell". It is really interesting to speak straight and straight, without embellishment!"

Hearing this, Ge Hong, who was a little annoyed that Sun Sheng didn't get to the point as soon as possible, also became interested, and blurted out: "What is this hell?" (recorded in "Biography of Eminent Monks" Volume [-])

"I don't know either. I didn't look carefully. At that time, I just simply glanced over and wrote down all the contents. If I think about it carefully, it should be where people go after death!"

Sun Sheng's words were actually not very loud, but to Ge Honglai, it was deafeningly loud!

Ge Hong felt a little dazed. The word "hell" was as shocking as a thunderbolt. Has Buddhism already proposed this?how so……

Seeing that Ge Hong was a little strange, Sun Sheng only thought that Ge Hong was also overwhelmed by his strong knowledge, and for a while he showed off even more cheerfully: "I remember that there was a Kangju monk named Kang Mengxiang in the period of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Luoyang translated scriptures, these two people are not only monks but also businessmen!" (Recorded in Volume 15 of "Chu San Zang Ji Ji")

When Ge Hong heard the word "businessman", he came back to his senses and exclaimed, "These Buddhists are actually businessmen?!"
