    Family members - specifically refers to famous families who have been officials for generations. These families have a long history and profound heritage. They marry each other and form a huge political group. They also use the "filial piety and integrity system" to almost monopolize the right to recommend officials.  Together with relatives and eunuchs, they are called the three pillars of the Han Dynasty!

    After the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, in order to compete for the power of the imperial court, a fierce fighting took place between the group of relatives headed by He Jin and the group of eunuchs headed by the "Ten Permanent Ministers" - the same room fought with each other and died together. The final result was  : Two of the three pillars were broken, and the Han Dynasty was in danger!

    The two major groups of relatives and eunuchs were destroyed, and there were no competitors. The clan groups seized a large amount of political interests, forming a situation where one family was the only one. They either supported the princes and separated themselves from each other, or they went to battle in person and participated in the struggle for hegemony.  For the decline to such an extent, the powerful people really contributed a lot!

    The fourth and third sons of the Yuan family had disciples and old officials all over the world, and they had unparalleled political prestige. Naturally, Yecheng became a gathering place for nobles. Seventy-seven of the Central Plains clans were here, and there were many powerful people.  With a large number of privileges, they seize fertile land, do not pay taxes, form caravans, collect money, raise slaves, and kill at will. They are completely outside the law, and no one dares to restrict their behavior!

    People in Hebei all understand the truth. They would rather offend the government than offend the clan. They would rather default on the royal grain than miss the land rent. The reason is also very simple. The government is like a wolf and the clan is like a tiger. The former will only tear off your skin and flesh, while the latter will eat people.  Don't spit out the bones. Compared with the two evils, choose the lesser!

    However, there are always exceptions to everything. Just when the nobles were enjoying a good life, a piece of news came: "Advocate Tian Feng offered advice and asked the noble nobles to hand over their guards, donate money and food, form a large army, and fight against the Yellow Turban Army.  !¡±

    One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and the city of Ye was immediately boiling. The nature of the noble clans was to be profit-seeking. It was no problem for them to plunder the people, but it was difficult to plunder them. Besides, soldiers, horses, money and food were the foundation of a life.  , is also the foundation of each family, who is willing to hand it over easily!

    Then again, this is a decree issued by the General's Office, and there is a slogan of 'Destroy the Yellow Turbans, Save the Country and the People'. It is just and reasonable. It is impossible to resist forcefully. However, the essence of politics is that 'what is above'  Policies, there are countermeasures. You have the order to recruit troops and adjust food supply. I have a way to do it. It depends on who has better means!

    The noble families are very decadent and like to compete with each other. They live in high-rise buildings, wear silk and satin, use gold and silver utensils, and travel in horse-drawn carriages. Especially when it comes to eating and drinking, they are extremely luxurious, with delicacies from the mountains and seas, delicacies and fruits everything is available.  , the money spent on a casual meal is enough for ordinary people to live for ten years. The most outrageous thing is that they cannibalize people!

    In years of famine, the poor people really have nothing to eat. In order to survive, they have to look for corpses everywhere, eat carrion like wild dogs, or exchange children with each other, kill them and cook them into meat soup. This is called '  Yikes and eats!  ¡¯

    The victims of the disaster cannibalize, and so do the nobles. They are tired of eating delicacies from the mountains and seas. In order to pursue excitement, they will buy some children of the poor, raise them to be fat and fat, and then kill them to eat the meat. There is also a special title of "vegetable people".  !  ¡¯

    In order to show his generosity, a wealthy family held a "Hundred Children's Banquet", which was to slaughter a hundred children and make their flesh and blood into delicacies to entertain guests. Some people were unconvinced by this and held a "Feast of Hundred Children".  "Ten Beautiful Banquets", killing ten of his concubines, steaming them and entertaining guests, the depravity of life is evident!

    However, when the order to recruit troops and adjust food supply came out, earth-shaking changes took place overnight. The nobles used to compete with each other to see who lived a more luxurious life, but now it is completely the opposite. If someone praises your family for being rich, it is simply worse than  It's still hard to criticize our ancestors for eight generations, but 'pretending to be poor' has become everyone's new way of life!

    In order to pretend to be poor, the nobles no longer took cars when going out. The older ones rode small donkeys, while the younger ones simply walked. They also wore the same clothes. They wore patched clothes, a pair of straw sandals, and a hemp rope tied around their waists. They were the standard nobles.  It's dressed up, breathable and low-key, it's the perfect way to 'pretend to be poor'!

    Once an official came to the door to urge for donations, the nobles would bring their whole family, each with a broken bowl and a wild vegetable dumpling, to block the gate, crying and shouting, in a word - "The family is too poor to open the pot, Qian  Don¡¯t ask me to pay, you don¡¯t have to pay!¡±

    Facing the clan members who were acting rogue collectively, Tian Feng first came to persuade them, using reason and emotion, hoping that they would donate money and food to tide over the difficulties together. Unfortunately, it was of no use at all. These guys were all glass rats and they had nothing to lose!

    "Persuasion is useless, so we have to use tough measures"Bring them all back?

    A thousand troops are easy to come by, but a general is hard to find. Without a good leader, sending troops to fight is equivalent to death. This is also the purpose of today's meeting, to select an outstanding disciple to shoulder the heavy responsibility of commanding the troops!

    In the lobby, everyone's eyes flashed, thinking about the candidate to lead the army. This is a good opportunity to gain power. At the same time, it is also an extremely dangerous thing. Facing hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops, if you are not careful, you will  No bones left!

    As the head of the family, Zhen An cannot easily leave Yecheng. Besides, he is old and cannot bear the hardships of war. Naturally, he cannot lead an army to go on a war expedition!

    Next up is the young master of the family, Zhen Yu. However, this eldest young master is obsessed with seeking truth, has no regard for world affairs, and has no ability to lead an army. If he is sent to fight against the Yellow Turban Army, there will only be one result - the entire army will be annihilated, and the family's vitality will be severely damaged!

    As for the remaining children of the Zhen family, they all lowered their heads and remained silent. They were eating, drinking, having fun, and riding birds in cages. They were living a very comfortable life. Why were they fighting against the Yellow Turban Army? If something went wrong,  What to do with the lovely wife and concubine at home?  What to do with the countless wealth?

    "The situation is critical, a matter of life and death. There are many children of the Zhen family, but there is no brave man who takes the initiative to volunteer and go into battle to kill the enemy?"

    No one responded for a while, and Zhen An couldn't help but look disappointed. In order to open up trade routes, all the elite members of the family were lost, and the rest were all a bunch of useless trash with high ambitions and low skills. If they were allowed to inherit the family business, the Zhen family would surely lose.  undoubtedly¡­¡­

    "Mi'er is not talented, but he is willing to lead the family's children in an expedition to defeat the Yellow Turban bandits, open up trade routes in all directions, and restore peace to Hebei!"

    Zhen Mi stood up and volunteered to lead the expedition. Her delicate eyes were full of disdain. She also looked down upon these children of the family. Otherwise, it would not be a woman's turn to take risks on the grassland!

    "In this case, Mi'er is tired. The battlefield is dangerous, so we must deal with it carefully. These people are the essence of the family, so we must not make any mistakes!"

    Zhen An nodded slightly. The family was prosperous and the yang was declining, so the only girl with courage could only lead the army. As for Zhen Mi's ability, there was no need to worry, because behind her stood the world's number one general Ghost Face Xiao Lang  , use soldiers like gods, win every battle, and never lose!

    "Haha, with all the financial and military power in our hands, the wealth of the world's largest plutocrat will never fall into the hands of others!"

    Xiao Yi smiled faintly and glanced at Zhen Mi's belly with a proud look - "Baby son, daddy will get you such a big business, and you will have a good life from now on!"
