Hee Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 97 The background of the Yuan family (seeking collection, seeking recommendation)
At around dusk, Yuan Xi and his people finally arrived at Lincheng. Lincheng is a big city, a place where the two counties meet, and it is very prosperous. At this time, the county magistrate of Lincheng has already received the news. Early on, they brought officials of all levels in the yamen and many wealthy families to wait at the gate of the city. When they saw Yuan Xi coming on horseback, the leader, a middle-aged man in official uniform, immediately said respectfully: "Prime Minister Tao Yue of Lincheng County, pay homage to the Second Young Master"

Yuan Xi dismounted slowly, brought Zhao Yun, Hu Niuer, and Li Ru over, and said gently, "Magistrate Tao doesn't need to be polite."

"Thank you, Second Young Master," Tao Yue stood up, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty has already prepared a residence for Second Young Master, please come into the city."

Yuan Xi glanced at the tall city in front of him, then looked at the people who were welcoming him, and said: "Xi is going to Youzhou to protect the border this time, the way is Lincheng, and he will leave tomorrow, so don't make it too grand, understand? "

"Your official understands." Tao Yue nodded hastily.

"Second Young Master, long time no see"

At this time, an elegant and quiet middle-aged man with a short beard and a blue dress suddenly stepped out, clasped his fists and saluted.

"You are?" Yuan Xi asked with some doubts.

"Next is Wang Qi from the Wang family. Ten years ago in Luoyang, I had the honor to meet Sir Sikong. At that time, I had a poem chat with the second and third sons for a while," Wang Qi explained with a smile on her face.

Yuan Xi quickly acted like he had come to his senses, and apologized with a smile, "So it's Brother Wang, I'm sorry, look at Xi's memory."

"It's okay, it's okay. Back then, Sikong, Taifu, and Situ's three mansions had no less than dozens of scholars going in and out every day. It's normal that you don't remember. Not only me, but several other brothers have also been to Luoyang." Wang Qi quickly took the initiative to find a step for Yuan Xi, and at the same time introduced it to several men in Chinese clothes beside her.

"Second Young Master, next to Li Yue, I once paid homage to Situ's Mansion"

"Han Yun, I have visited the Taifu's mansion, and my father was the former prime minister of Lincheng County"

. . . . . .

I only saw that among the eight or nine gentry who came, there were actually six gentry who had entered the Sangong's mansion in Luoyang, which made Yuan Xi a little speechless. , What a terrible foundation has been laid, no wonder Hanbok, the governor of Jizhou, heard that Yuan Shao was coming, he fled away in a hurry, and took the initiative to give up the prosperous Jizhou. It may be that one is afraid of Yuan Shao's ability, and the other is the hidden background of the Yuan family. .

Four generations and three princes, famous all over the world, with power in the court and the public, admired by the world, every state has students and subordinates of the Yuan family, they are county guards, county magistrates, or generals. When the descendants of these people grow up, they will Go out for a trip, and the trip is naturally indispensable to Luoyang, the imperial capital. When you arrive in Luoyang, whether it is for the future or the order of the elders, you have to visit the Sangong Mansion. That's why the status of the Yuan family is so lofty. Dare to move the Yuan family at will, if Yuan Shao led the eighteen princes to attack, Dong Zhuo was extremely angry, and he was afraid that they would be the internal cause, so he would have such a huge murderous intention.

"Haha, alright, so they are all former disciples of my Yuan family. My Yuan family will never forget people like you. As long as you work with peace of mind, you will have the best treatment," Yuan Xi promised softly. .

"Second Young Master Xie" everyone was grateful, and at the same time a trace of pride flashed across their faces, and the people in the government office next to them showed a bit of envy. Although they were officials, they were far inferior to these people because they had capital, because they Famous, as long as these people report their identities, the world will pay more attention to them, and even the Yuan family will pay more attention.

"Brother Wang, what are you doing now? Are you going to be an official, or are you recuperating at home?" Yuan Xi asked gently to the first Wang Qi.

"Second son, Qi is ashamed. There are some properties in the family. Since my father passed away, I have been taking care of them. I have been a bit neglected in poetry and prose. Recently, I have some time to open a small academy," Wang Qi replied quickly.

"It's great to open an academy!" Yuan Xi praised, looked at the crowd and said, "The gentry is the foundation of my great man, and talent is the proof of the gentry, so we must open it up and teach it well, so as to provide more talents for me in the north, I will The prosperity of the Yuan family is actually the prosperity of the gentry."

"Young Master, Yingming" Hearing these words, the gentry became more proud one by one, and looked at Yuan Xi with even more eagerness. Yuan Xi is the son of the largest gentry in the world. His words are a great recognition of the gentry. , as long as the Yuan family is there, the status of the gentry will not be shaken.

"Haha, Xixi is going to Youzhou tomorrow, and I don't know when he will be back. Let's have a good drink tonight," Yuan Xi said with a smile.

"No!" Everyone responded immediately.

"My lord, let's go to the city." Tao Yue respectfully asked with a smile.

"Okay." Yuan Xi nodded, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly pretended not to know: "Magistrate Tao, Xi came along this way and saw many disaster victims. What's going on?"

Tao Yue immediately shrank his pupils, and quickly explained: "My lord, the food harvest is a little short recently, but the government has been discussing urgently about countermeasures, and is planning to open more porridge shops, so that every affected person can have food as much as possible "

"En! Father is wise and mighty, the north has finally been unified, and the common people must live a better life. As the county magistrate, you must work harder," Yuan Xi warned gently.

"Xiaguan understands, Xiaguan understands" beads of sweat had already appeared on Tao Yue's forehead

"Our families have also heard about the victims of the disaster, and we are actively dispatching a food supply to help them," Wang Qi also quickly introduced himself.

"That's right, the gentry should have such moral character, otherwise, how to convince others, Brother Wang will help Tao County Magistrate a lot in the future," Yuan Xi praised.

"My lord has won the prize, Qi will prepare it tomorrow." A trace of excitement flashed in Wang Qi's eyes.

Yuan Xi smiled, and led a group of people towards the city. Li Ru, who was following behind, also breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his lips. He was really worried that Yuan Xi would turn his anger on the officials because of Abao and the victims. He and the gentry, these people do have a big problem, but it is not the time to solve it, if they do that, it is not benevolent, it is stupid.

The most frightening thing about the Yuan family is not the large number of soldiers, nor the fierceness of the generals, but the incomparable reputation. They are the benchmarks in the eyes of the gentry. Otherwise, why would Yuan Shao unify the north so quickly, and Yuan Shu dared to call himself emperor? It's because of Zu Yin.

There are many gentry in every state in the world. This is an extremely terrifying force. As long as the Yuan family is strong, the gentry from all over the world are willing to help, because the gentry have a strong arrogance in their hearts. Those vassals who were born with humble backgrounds, in their hearts, only families like the Yuan family are the masters that the world should have.

And what Yuan Xi should do now is to gather together all the obedient ones in this force, completely eliminate those who are disobedient, and provide him with a huge boost to win the world. Just like what Yuan Xi just said just now, Wang Qi is willing to provide food. This is obedient, and she can stay in the future. This will not only win people's hearts, but also help the victims.

And if Yuan Xi failed to unify the world, where would he have the qualifications to practice benevolent government?

As for the gentry holding power and annexing land, this is indeed serious, but it is not a problem. As long as Yuan Xi becomes really strong, there will be ways to deal with them in the future.
