In Xiapi, after Chen Deng died in Guangling that year, he was brought back and buried outside Xiapi City.

It is naturally sad to see a white-haired person give a black-haired person. Chen Gui, who is only fifty years old, looks as old as a dying man. Chen Mo really has no intention of pursuing the past grudges, even for Chen Deng's sake.

, it is impossible for Chen Mo to pursue the grievances of the previous generation.

"Uncle, now that the Central Plains has been settled, I want to move the Chen family to Luoyang. What does uncle think?" Beside Chen Deng's tomb, Chen Mo paid respects to Chen Deng respectfully and then turned to look at Chen Gui.

Now Chen Mo has become a very powerful minister, but because of this, he needs more help. Regardless of any grievances he had in the past, when Chen Mo really reaches this point, he needs the talents of the family to help him, or to help the next generation.

The power of the clan is used to check and balance other forces. As long as there are talents in the clan, even if Chen Mo is gone one day, his son will not have no one to use.

If there is another talent like Chen Deng in the Chen family, it would be great. Even if there is not, as long as there is someone who can use it, the Chen family can be regarded as a century-old family, and the family tradition and heritage are still good.

, of course, there must be some restrictions. Chen Mo wants to use the clan power to check the nobles, but again, the clan power must be a vassal of Chen Mo's branch. This is the prerequisite.

Chen Gui turned his head and glanced at Chen Mo. Although he didn't say it clearly, Chen Mo naturally understood what Chen Mo meant, and after thinking for a moment, Chen Gui said slowly: "How are Bo Dao going to arrange it?"

"The Chen family will have private schools, and of course, they will also go to the academies run by the imperial court to continuously cultivate talents for the Chen family to strengthen my clan." Chen Mo said in a deep voice: "It is also the heritage of my Chen family."

"With this approach, Bo Dao is not afraid of strong branches and weak trunks?" Chen Gui asked back. Among the younger generation of the Chen family, after Chen Deng's death, Chen Mo is undoubtedly the best. Even if Chen Deng is not dead, Chen Mo is still the best.

, but there is no guarantee that the next generation will be like this, and the next generation will be like this. Clan chaos has existed since ancient times, and it does not only happen in the royal family. It is also the same with the endless alternation between ordinary families. It seems that now, Chen Mo has actually suppressed

He became the direct descendant of the Chen family and became the true direct descendant of the Chen family.

"My uncle said this, so he knew that I would be prepared. Moreover, even if that day comes, it will be God's will. In each generation, the best son must be the head of the family, so that our Chen family can grow stronger." Chen Mo.

smiled.

"I feel relieved that Bo Dao has such a broad mind. The younger members of the Chen family can move to Luoyang with Bo Dao, but I won't go." Chen Gui nodded and sighed: "I will be here all my life.

In Xuzhou, when people grow old, it is difficult to leave their homeland. Besides, if Yuanlong is left alone here, I am afraid that he will be lonely."

Chen Mo looked at Chen Deng's grave, nodded silently and said, "The clan system must be changed."

The Chen family's patriarchal clan is to serve the family, but in the future the Chen family will want to rule the world, so the clan clan has to change.

Chen Gui turned his head, looked at Chen Mo seriously and said: "Some things should not be rushed."

"It's just preparation. Changes will happen slowly, but the law must first have a charter and then implement it step by step." Chen Mo nodded. He naturally knew this. Anything, especially things involving the laws of the ancestors, should not be touched lightly.

He couldn't act rashly, and he didn't want to be trapped internally or externally.

"You came back this time to seize the family power?" Chen Gui did not try to persuade him again. He knew very well that once a hero like Chen Mo made up his mind, it would be difficult to change his mind.

"Sacrifice to the ancestors and also to worship the elder brother." Chen Mo shook his head and came back? This is his first time here, how can it be considered a return? But he must get the clan rights.

"Before Yuan Long left, he trained 20,000 elite soldiers in Guangling and resisted Sun Ce's invasion many times. The Chen family's current status in Xuzhou has always depended on these 20,000 elite soldiers. Now that you are here,

I will leave it to you to take charge. With them here, at least Guangling can be protected from being invaded by Sun Ce." Chen Gui nodded and said nothing more. He just handed over the private soldiers of the clan, which also represented his attitude.

Chen Mo nodded. This is exactly what he wants. Other things can be discussed, but military power must be in his own hands. The Chen family's 20,000 private soldiers can be said to be the largest force in Xuzhou. It is no wonder that even if Cao Cao possesses

Xuzhou is also quite tolerant to the Chen family. The Guangling Chen family and Langya Zangba are the two major local forces in Xuzhou, even stronger than Cao's army in Xuzhou.

Now that he has taken over the Central Plains, the forces in this place that do not belong to the imperial court must be eradicated bit by bit.

Chen Mo helped Chen Gui get on the carriage and drove all the way to Xiapi. On the way, Chen Mo asked some opinions on the governance of Xuzhou. Compared with other states and counties, Xuzhou is easier to control.

Firstly, Chen Mo himself is from Xuzhou, close to him or not, from his hometown. The people of Xuzhou have enough psychological recognition of Chen Mo. Secondly, the Chen family has too much power in Xuzhou, especially the former wealthy merchants of the East China Sea, the Mi family.

After Liu Bei left, Chen Deng was appointed as the prefect of Guangling, and Chen Gui was appointed as the governor of Xuzhou. Now that Chen Mo has taken over the position of patriarch, it is natural for him to take charge of Xuzhou. Even if those prefects and county magistrates are not disciples of the Chen family, they are inextricably linked to the Chen family.

relationship, as long as Chen Mo doesn't go too far, these people themselves are the force to support Chen Mo.

However, Chen Mo still attaches great importance to Chen Gui's opinions on how to govern Xuzhou. After all, Chen Gui has served as the governor of Xuzhou for many years. When Cao Cao fought with Tao Qian and Liu Bei in Xuzhou, the once prosperous place was completely destroyed.

Under Chen Gui's governance, Xuzhou gradually recovered its vitality. The court had laws, but different situations had to be treated differently, as was the case in Xuzhou.

"I know that Bo Dao's new law is indeed beneficial to the world, but some laws are not suitable here. If Bo Dao wants to change, he must take a long-term approach. Otherwise, if he forcibly promotes the new law in Xuzhou and even the Central Plains, it will only cause chaos in the Central Plains again, and there will be no exceptions to the law.

I hope Bo Dao will consider it." Chen Gui did not have any opinions on the governance of Xuzhou, but only talked about Chen Mo's new law.

"Yes, indeed." Chen Mo nodded. Since occupying Suiyang, the implementation of the new law in the Central Plains region has encountered considerable resistance. Chen Mo also had to make compromises and changes to the new law. Although his ultimate goal is to bring peace to the whole world.

Unified laws, but based on the problems encountered in the implementation of laws in the Central Plains, Chen Gui is indeed right. This thing must be done step by step, and some flexibility must be thought of.

Chen Mo has now begun to make some changes to the new law, the most important of which is the inheritance law. All descendants have the right to inherit the land and property of their fathers. In other words, regardless of whether they are legitimate sons or concubines, they have the same rights when it comes to inheriting their father's inheritance.

right.

This law mainly targets the clan. Many people know that this is a trap, but they can't oppose it, because even if the father and legitimate son refuse, the other sons will strongly support this new law. In this way, it is equivalent to restricting the big family.

Unless someone is willing to give birth to only one child in a lifetime, the power of these local clans will be divided and weakened irreversibly.

In such an era, in order to ensure the inheritance of the bloodline, no matter which big family they are, they will choose to carry forward their bloodline and have more sons. However, in this way, there is no way to break Chen Mo's decree.

Listening to what Chen Mo said, Chen Gui smiled and said: "This move is quite similar to the favor order back then."

"Indeed, we just replaced the princes with everyone." Chen Mo nodded and smiled.

In this way, we invisibly gained the support of the concubines and side disciples from all the families, making them unable to work together. Even if the direct lineage and the main family resisted the government, the common people's disciples supported it, which was equivalent to weakening the influence of local powerful people on government orders in disguise.

Impact.

"What about me, Mr. Chen?" Chen Gui turned around, looked at Chen Mo, and asked a key question.

"Of course it's the same. Except for the position of the head of the family, everything that can be seen is scored." Chen Mo said truthfully.

In fact, in addition to these tangible things, the things inherited by direct children, the intangible things such as the connections and reputation of the fathers are more valuable. However, the division of property will indeed have a lot of impact on them. If they are not careful, it may

Overtaken by concubines.

Chen Gui frowned and wanted to refute, but suddenly found that he could not refute.

Who is Chen's direct descendant now?

Chen Mo!

Although the Chen family still feels that Chen Gui's branch is the main line, as Chen Mo is now growing in power, especially with Chen Mo defeating Cao Cao and occupying the Central Plains, most people have unknowingly

I subconsciously thought that Chen Mo was the direct descendant.

This is tantamount to Chen Mo dividing his own things, and Chen Gui has no reason to refuse.

The same was true for the grace order back then. I knew it was wrong but couldn't stop it. This was a conspiracy!

"Awesome!" Chen Gui couldn't help but admire.

"It's just picking up people's wisdom." Chen Mo said humbly.

"But if this happens, if Bo Dao takes another step forward, I'm afraid no one in the world will be able to shake you." Chen Gui shook his head and said.

"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Everything in this world will change. It's hard for you and me to tell what the world will be like in the future." Chen Mo shook his head. Things in the world are always changing. Of course, his move

It can weaken the intellectual power, but what happens after the intellectual power? The center of power will never be vacant. After the intellectual power begins to decline, there will inevitably be new dignitaries on the scene in a new way. No one knows what the power structure will look like by then.

He can make it clear that he cannot guarantee that the power structure will be better than it is now, but at least he is trying to explore. Maybe the new political system is still not perfect, but as long as he can continue to adapt and find solutions to the problem,

The world can always be maintained in a good state, this is Chen Mo's way.

The carriage slowly entered Xiapi under the protection of the guards. The purpose of the trip to Xuzhou has been completed for the most part. Chen Mo is planning to go to Langya. After inspecting the border camp, he will return to Suiyang and continue to preside over the internal affairs of the Central Plains. As for the
Chapter completed!
