Chapter 170: Liangshan Prefecture's aristocratic gentleman! Xiao Tong nodded in agreement, "Da Yan is powerful. It is best to unite with the four top forces in Yannan to fight against Da Yan. Only in this way can we have a way out."
"Dayan has many soldiers and generals, and now there are masters of the Hunyuan Realm taking charge. Only if we unite the six forces and the eleven Zhen Gang Realm great masters together can we possibly resist the masters of the Hunyuan Realm!"
"Just do it!"
"it is good!"
At the same time, in the Liangshan Prince's Mansion, a Tongxuan Realm Jinyi Guard came to Chu Jiang, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the heads of the Wang family and the Qian family are outside asking for an audience."
Chu Jiang's eyes moved slightly. There were four kings, four sects, six families, and thirteen generals in the north. The Wang family and the Qian family were two of the six families. In the entire Liangshan Prefecture, they were the only two families. The remaining four families were all among the other two states.
"Let them come in, and call Zhang Qin over."
"Yes!" Jin Yiwei turned and left.
After a while, two middle-aged men in brocade clothes followed a guard in brocade uniforms who was in the Tongxuan realm to the front of Chu Jiang's study.
The two Xiantian Realm family heads have already stirred up a storm in their hearts. They are worthy of being the ones who dare to call themselves kings and compete with the King of Beiliang. From the moment they entered the palace to now, they have seen three Tongxuan Realm warriors alone.
The people who led them into the palace and the people who acted as guards at the door of the study were all Tongxuan realm masters. Except for the last time when Princess Beiliang came, they had never seen so many Tongxuan realm masters.
Not to mention anything else, the strongest ancestor of the two families is only in the Tongxuan realm. If placed in the palace, he would just be a guard guarding the gate! Moreover, these people uniformly wore gorgeous brocade clothes and held the same long sword. They were obviously from the establishment. The number of Tongxuan realm among them must be much more than the three I saw.
In their impression, only Beiliang Prince's Palace and Baizhan Hall can produce so many Tongxuan Realm warriors in the Northern Territory. Now Baizhan Hall is missing, but there are also more. A Liangshan Prince’s Mansion! "Go in!" Jin Yiwei, who went to report, said expressionlessly.
"Thank you, sir!" The two of them quickly bowed to the Jin Yiwei and then walked into the city cautiously.
"See you, Your Majesty!" When the two saw Chu Jiang, they immediately saluted in fear.
Chu Jiang glanced at the two of them and said, "Yes, they are fellow civil and military practitioners. Get up!"
"Thank you, Lord!"
"Your Majesty is too praised. How can such a young man with such little talent catch the eyes of His Majesty." The two said cautiously.
Chu Jiang nodded casually and said, "What do you two have to do with me?"
"Going back to the prince, the two of us are here to visit the prince. On behalf of the aristocratic gentry from Liangshan Prefecture, we are here to pay homage to the prince. This is our gift list." As he said that, the head of the Wang family took out a bright red gift list from his sleeve.
The Jin Yiwei on the side took it and put it on Chu Jiang's table. Chu Jiang did not look at the gift list, but stared at the two of them and asked, "Are you two here on behalf of all the squires in the entire Liangshan Prefecture? Can you contact all the squires in the entire Liangshan Prefecture?" ?" The two looked at each other, then nodded. The head of the Qian family said: "As for the prince, there is indeed a connection between the family gentry in the entire Liangshan Prefecture. Our two families are in the city of Liangshan Prefecture, and the seven counties are. Among them, there are medium-sized aristocratic families in each county, and in the subordinate counties, there are also small aristocratic families in charge, and there are also squires in the villages."
"If you have enough time, you can indeed contact the squires below one by one. In this visit to the prince, all the squires in the entire Liangshan Prefecture are involved. The gifts on the gift list in the prince's hand are also from the entire Liangshan Prefecture. A joint contribution from all the family gentlemen.”
The head of the Wang family on the side added, "But we are just connected. Various aristocratic families walk throughout Liangshan Prefecture, each with their own properties and shops, so we can send a message to them."
Chu Jiang nodded expressionlessly, took the gift list on the table, and opened it. The top one was from the Wang and Qian families. One offered 10 taels of silver, a piece of top-grade Tian Huang jade, and the other offered 10 taels of silver. Two, hundreds of jars of century-old wine.
Below are the medium-sized aristocratic families in various prefectures and counties, as well as small aristocratic families in various counties, as well as wealthy gentry families scattered in various villages. The densely packed gifts fill several pages, and the entire Liangshan All the high-ranking family gentlemen in the state are on it.
Chu Jiang scanned the entire gift list, his expression did not change at all, and closed the gift the era when the imperial power did not go to the countryside, the family gentry was not only a helper for the government to rule the place, but also a moth that eroded the national power of the dynasty.
It's just that the aristocratic families in Liangshan City are too weak. If they hadn't come to his door, Chu Jiang wouldn't even notice only the aristocratic families in Liangshan City, but also the entire Northern Territory aristocratic families, and even the entire Dayan aristocratic families, were generally not strong.
According to Dayan's established rules, families in the early and middle stages of the Xiantian realm are small-sized families, those in the late Xiantian realm are medium-sized, and those in the Tongxuan realm are large-sized families, which are the levels of the six major families in the North.
The families with Yuangang realm are the best families, and the best families only exist in the five states of for the family with a Zhen Gang Realm Grandmaster, there is no one in the entire Dayan.
None of the forces belonging to the Zhen Gang realm masters in Dayan developed in the form of aristocratic this also made Chu Jiang ignore the part of the aristocratic families. If these aristocratic families were not quick-thinking and sent gifts early, Chu Jiang would even treat these aristocratic families as ordinary people.
Strictly speaking, the aristocratic families are really ordinary people, but the power of these ordinary people is too strong. They consciously become the representatives of the people, representing the lower class people and the ruling this way, aristocratic families are no longer ordinary and have more say than ordinary people.
Chu Jiang tapped his fingers on the table, thought for a moment, and said, "I accepted the gift. You two will go back and tell all the country gentlemen in the counties, counties, and villages that everything will remain as usual. I will let the Jin Yiwei keep an eye on you. If anything happens, Don’t blame me for being merciless when it comes to extraordinary things!”
"I understand, please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will fully cooperate with the government!" The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and just accepted the gift. It seems that the King of Liangshan has no dissatisfaction with these aristocratic families at present. He immediately promised.
"Go down!"
"Yes!"
After a few people left, Chu Jiang looked at Zhang Qin and said: "The aristocratic families in Liangshan Prefecture are very weak and can be destroyed easily. With the Jin Yiwei watching, they can't make any waves. At present, the stability of Liangshan Prefecture still requires these aristocratic families to take drastic measures. It would not be too late to wait until the entire Great Yan is unified to carry out the reform."
"Leave the management of these aristocratic families to Shunzhi! (Note: Shunzhi is Zhang Qin's name)"
