Confiscating a home is a laborious and technical job.
The family property of the eight families in Jiangdong is more than just an ancestral home or main residence... Generally speaking, they will have an ancestral home that serves as their foundation and retreat, and then distributes it widely apart; in the previous Healthy City, the current There will be a main residence near Jiangning City, and after Nanchen is destroyed and the outer walls of Health City are demolished, there will generally be a symbolic main residence in Jiangdu; in addition, in Wujun, Yuhang, and Kuaiji There will also be a large number of mansions, manors and fields in these traditional Jiangdong sage places such as , Yongjia and Yongjia.
What Zhang Xing and others did was to capture the thief and capture the king. They used the power of thunder to target the ancestral home or main residence where the core members were located, ensuring that the other party's core members surrendered before proceeding with the raids.
Moreover, it was easy first and then difficult, taking down the six peripheral families, making various rankings and comparisons, and then intimidating the Wang Xie family, which had masters of condensing pills.
Facts have proved that this series of targeted strategies are still effective. In the end, even the Wang and Xie families chose to succumb.
At this point, the Jinyi patrols finally let go. More food of sufficient scale was taken out from the ancestral homes and manors of the eight great families. A considerable amount of meat was also sent to the north bank of the river before the New Year. The Jiangdu camp was exchanged for ready-made military rations in Jiangbei. The sum of two and two effectively alleviated the food shortage in the seven counties in Jiangdong in the beginning of spring.
"What is Brother Zhang writing again?"
In Jiangning City, the capital of Danyang County, in a medium-sized mansion that originally belonged to the Xie family, Mr. Zhou Xingfan Zhou, who had just returned from Jiangbei, saw Zhang Xing sitting in the courtyard where he had been sitting for most of the past half a month before he could enter the house. As I sat writing furiously in the seats under the central corridor, I was naturally curious. "Isn't it time for all the accounts to be settled?"
"Some summary social survey reports..." Zhang Xing didn't even raise his head. "It's not the accounts...it's you. Have you made an agreement with your father?"
"It's agreed." Zhou Xingfan quickly answered. "My dad said it's no problem... If it's just a little bit short, it might be a good idea for everyone to pool some money together and buy some in the market. He has already made an appointment with several businessmen who travel between Jiangdu and Xuzhou on a daily basis and asked these people to do it. I guarantee Don’t delay your trip.”
"It's not about everyone pooling some money together." Zhang Xing shook his head and sighed. "The money belongs to the Eight Families. It's just a shortfall. I just want everyone to get back the extra points. If you don't agree to this, then you are really heartless... But don't be afraid, it's not me saying that. Your father doesn't agree. If you go and talk to Lai Gong about this matter, Lai Gong will definitely wave his hand and say that he doesn't want his share... I feel more and more that although Zhou is not separated from Lai, Lai is not separated from Zhou, Lai Gong can't For the Lord, in addition to one’s level of cultivation and one’s background, there is also something to say about one’s temperament and bearing. Of course, one’s background and cultivation are definitely the main factors.”
Zhou Xingfan didn't say a word the whole time - from the time the other party arrived at the end of October to now approaching the twelfth lunar month, he followed him in almost everything, and he was basically familiar with it.
Therefore, during the whole process, he just listened and peeked at the documents written by the other party. What made him a little concerned was that what the other party wrote with a hard pen was really some words about master, congealing pills, and tongmai, which were just like what he said. There seems to be some contrast to his routine of chatterbox.
"Want to see it?"
Zhang Xing noticed the other party's posture and finally raised his head to ask. "It's all nonsense..."
"I think the articles written by Brother Zhang are as good as poems... Some words are clearly right in mind, but when it comes to words, they are not as clear as Brother Zhang's; there are also some things that are obviously different from impressions There's a lot of difference, but after careful calculation, it turns out that Brother Zhang's article is more correct." Mr. Zhou responded seriously. "For example, last time, the document written by Third Brother said that there should be about one or two thousand masters of condensing pills and elixirs in the world. I felt something was wrong when I saw it. I didn't think there were that many, but I followed Third Brother Zhang's instructions. After doing some calculations, it seems that this is indeed the case...but I still don’t understand why I have that wrong impression.”
"The reason why you think there isn't that much is actually very simple." Zhang Xing laughed. "Because in your impression, the masters of condensing and forming pills can only leave the impression that they are such masters when they are flying around and doing things beyond the norm... But in fact, the vast majority of masters of condensing pills are busy They focus on establishing and expanding their foundation, and then guarding this foundation. When they become elixirs and are ready to meditate, they will only see the realm of a master, and they will no longer bother to fly around all day long to show off."
"Indeed." Zhou Xingfan nodded repeatedly.
"But the other way around." Zhang Xing continued. "Once a master of condensing pills or forming a pill loses control, he will be extremely destructive, so no one will overly bully masters of this level."
"I know." Zhou Xingfan replied. "The two masters of condensing pills from the Wang and Xie families, even if one of them is not at home, can make the Wang and Xie families be treated seriously, which also makes these two families suffer a lot less losses than the other six families..."
"You are wrong." Zhang Xing put down his pen and sighed. "Those two masters of condensing pills not only saved a little more gold and silver for the Wang and Xie families, but also said that the entire eight major families were not bulldozed because of their existence...otherwise you really think we How can a few cavalrymen in fine uniforms restrain those sergeants and officers who are like wolves and tigers? It is easy to open one's mouth, but difficult to close one's mouth."
"So, just like Brother Zhang said, Lai Gong and my father each have different personalities and specialties, but what ultimately determines their priority is their birthplace and cultivation." Zhou Xingfan thoughtfully said , but Bai Yousi's face suddenly flashed before his eyes. "Both my background and cultivation are powerful, I can really do whatever I want..."
"This is too biased." Zhang Xing put away the copy and sighed. "Isn't temperament important? Isn't knowledge and writing important? Let's just talk about family background... Your Zhou family has been a general for generations. I don't know how much higher than Laigong, who lives in a shabby house near the river. But here in the Wei Dynasty, the family background in Jiangbei is higher than Laigong. Jiangnan is more trustworthy... Who are you looking for? The reason why Wei can determine his origin in this way is because their organizational form is more effective and more developed, so they can defeat Dong Qi, who seems to have stronger force, and they can also defeat the wealthy Nan Chen... And if there is no knowledge and writing, how can it be possible to form an efficient organization? Do you understand?"
Mr. Zhou shook his head repeatedly: "Some understand, some don't."
Zhang Xing laughed and stood up to go into the house.
"Brother Zhang." Mr. Zhou suddenly called to the other party. "You're leaving on the third day of the twelfth lunar month, right?"
"Yes." Zhang Xing held the manuscript and stood to correct it. "Otherwise, how can we keep up with Kasuga's plan?"
"I told my father." Zhou Xingfan said seriously. "I want to go to Dongdu with Inspector Bai and Brother Zhang to see them and become a patrolling knight..."
"Your family background is here. If you want to be a knight in royal robes, Zhong Cheng will be overjoyed." Zhang Xing looked at the other party. "But what did your father say?"
"My father said that Bai Xingjian was born in a very high family, but he was brave and decisive, and his cultivation level reached the sky. He is just around the corner. There is no big problem in following Bai Xingjian. Just let me follow him." Zhou Xingfan responded immediately.
"That's enough." Zhang Xing laughed silently. "What are you talking to me about?"
"But I told my dad that it is true that Bai Xingjian has a very high background and a very high level of cultivation, but he is too high and does not look like a mortal. On the other hand, Brother Zhang, although he is also highly intelligent, is sometimes more verbose, Although he is stingy, he seems approachable and makes people feel that he can learn from it." After saying this, Zhou Xingfan leaned over and bowed his hands. "In the future, please give me more teachings from Brother Zhang."
"Don't worry, I will definitely teach you." Zhang Xing was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and was about to enter the room.
But the next moment, a stream of light suddenly flew by, and Zhang Xing disappeared together with the proclamation in his hand.
Mr. Zhou raised his head, looked around blankly, and then his eyes fell on the roof, only to find that his "extremely intelligent" Brother Zhang had been carried to the roof like an eagle catching a chicken.
The man carrying him was about forty years old, wearing long-sleeved plain clothes in winter, with a high crown and bright eyes, and his beard and clothes were blowing in the wind, looking like a god.
"Thanks……"
"You are the youngest member of the Zhou family, right?" The man pressed Zhang Xing's shoulder with one hand and twirled his beard with the other while laughing, which had already attracted the attention of the other Jinyi patrolmen and government officials. "Since you recognize me, Xie Minghe, it's good... tell your father and Lai Gong, and also tell Inspector Bai. It's okay if I wasn't here before. But now that I'm back home, as a landlord, I naturally have to take this talented man with me." Zhang Baishou took a tour of Jiangdong's scenic spots... and told them not to be impatient, and not to delay your spring plan."
After saying this, the man summoned up a mighty energy of immortality, completely wrapped himself and Zhang Xing, and then disappeared directly like a ray of green light.
"Quickly go to Jingkou and ask Bai Inspector for inspection!" Zhou Xingfan's whole body was cold, but the Jinyi patrolman beside him had already called out. "Brother Zhang was kidnapped!"
