Even Confucian families follow the noble line and do not wantonly annex land.
Because for these Confucian families, the most important thing is family reputation and political resources.
Keeping slaves and annexing land are despised by the mainstream of Confucianism and will destroy your reputation.
Just like Tao Xiaowu's original world, it is also the same.
Although in the late Western Han Dynasty, powerful landlords had already emerged.
Even Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu was able to conquer the world only with the support of powerful landowners.
Although after Emperor Guangwu established his authority in the world, he began to fall out with these powerful and powerful landowners, restrained mergers, and began to conquer the land.
This led to local powerful and so-called military commanders with big surnames rebelling one after another, shaking the county.
So many people were killed that many powerful families were forced to leave their homes and move to other places, cutting off their ties with their hometowns and causing them to lose their land monopoly and all social networks and relationships.
You can imagine how powerful it is!
However, just a few decades later, as the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty were short-lived, the upper class was in turmoil.
Naturally, local governments cannot restrain their tyranny, and they even become powerful.
But the real so-called Confucian classics families still pay attention to moral family tradition and follow the noble line.
Because the most important employment system in the Eastern Han Dynasty was the inspection and promotion system.
Employment is evaluated based on family reputation!
For a true Confucian scholar, reputation is the most valuable political resource.
On the contrary, things like land and money are no longer important!
With fame, you have everything!
However, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil.
During the war, the Confucian classics family lost its monopoly position as an official, and at the same time was threatened by various kinds of force.
As a result, they began to merge with local powerful people. It was the merging of upper-level political resources and local land and population that formed the kind of truly behemoth clans that existed in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.
They control political power at the imperial court, monopolize the spread of culture, and control the population and land resources at the local level. In the end, they form a family freak!
And this was not formed from the beginning!
Many people threw the pot formed by the family valve over the Eastern Han Dynasty...
In fact, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was absolutely no such kind of weirdo.
There are only the Confucian families who monopolize political resources at the upper level, and the local tycoons who monopolize the local population, land and wealth.
And the same is true for this great Yu world.
For example, the Yan family in Maonanli followed the noble line of a Confucian classics family.
In the original world, many people believed that Emperor Guangwu conquered the world with the help of powerful clans.
Therefore, the powerful landlords were too lenient, which led to the powerful landlords becoming powerful.
In fact, the fault really did not lie with Emperor Guangwu. His determination and strength in conquering the fields were by no means false.
However, the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty were short-lived one after another, which caused the upper echelons of the imperial court to be in constant turmoil and their control over the lower echelons was inevitably relaxed, giving powerful families the opportunity to become powerful!
However, even so, the process of collecting land in the Eastern Han Dynasty continued from beginning to end, and even at the end of the Han Dynasty, population verification did not stop.
At this time, Wang Zhong was gradually convinced and said: "Okay! In that case, we will select a few powerful spiritual houses who have done many evil things and kill them all!"
As he said this, a fierce light appeared in his eyes.
Back then, he was framed by those powerful people who colluded with the government. Wang Zhong also hated those powerful people to the extreme!
However, at this moment, a shrill cry suddenly sounded, and Wang Zhong and other ghosts were frightened.
Then he saw a giant bird flying through the dark clouds in the sky.
"What is that..."
Many wild ghosts were frightened and inexplicable.
But I saw this black shadow like a giant bird flying over the ghost realm, and the huge projection almost covered the entire ghost realm.
If you really comply with those words, your wings will be like clouds hanging from the sky!
"How come there is such a monster under this Nine Springs? What is it?" Countless wild ghosts were horrified and confused.
"That's not a giant bird, it's the aura of Earthly Evil. It's the energy of Earthly Evil. Hurry up and follow, a spirit appears..."
After all, among the ghosts, there was an old ghost who had seen a lot. He immediately recognized him and shouted loudly.
The next moment, the giant bird flapped its wings, and it was like a strong wind, almost blowing away the black air in the ghost realm.
Many weak wild ghosts on the outermost edge of the ghost realm could not stand still and were blown up by the strong wind. Their souls collapsed in mid-air.
However, the entire group of ghosts did not hesitate to chase after the Disha who was flying away like a giant bird in a dark cloud!
…
In the blessed land, Tao Xiaowu's face looked ugly. He had interrupted the transfer of earth veins.
Even he himself did not expect that just moving the earth veins would cause such a big movement.
When Uncle Gui moved the earth line to Wuli, there was no such big movement!
It seems that I still made a mistake somewhere!
After all, moving earth veins is not an ordinary method.
Even the "Driving Mountains and Dragons" he got could only drive small spiritual veins.
Moreover, that is still in later generations. If the spells after the change of yin and yang are used at this time, of course there will be problems!
At this time, Tao Xiaowu was already vaguely regretful. He had known that he should have asked Uncle Gui beforehand.
I just originally thought that there was something wrong with my identity, so I wanted to avoid suspicion and have as little contact as possible!
But it’s too late to say this now, things have already been done!
"There was such a big movement just now. I don't know how many ghosts and monsters it would disturb?" Tao Xiaowu sighed softly.
At this time, countless ghosts and ghosts came from all directions, looming and shadowing, and surrounded the blessed land.
Tao Xiaowu snorted softly and collected the blessed land before those powerful ghosts were alerted.
The entire Lingshan Blessed Land in the surrounding area seemed to have been retracted by the projection light, turned directly above the sky, and disappeared, allowing all the ghosts and ghosts surrounding it to be thrown away.
Tao Xiaowu's soul recovered, but there was not much joy, and he looked into the distance.
"It's not good. I can take back the blessed land of the spiritual pool here, but the spiritual realm in the Wudong is not. I'm afraid it's in danger!"
If those wild ghosts came to attack the blessed land of Linggu, it would be easy to say that with the spiritual energy of the land and the presence of Qiong trees, it might not be impossible to defend it.
But there was nothing left in that spiritual realm. Even if Tao Xiaowu rushed there, he might not be able to do anything.
You might even get yourself trapped in it!
"Are we just going to ignore the five hundred ancient Xi ghost soldiers?"
…
Xiong Tuo's face was ashen, and he even felt despair at this moment.
The ancient Xi Kingdom was an aristocratic political system. The four major families of Xiong Ling and Bai Ping were the crown clan of the ancient Xi Kingdom.
It is precisely because of this that Tao Xiaowu met a lot of people named Bai.
Because it was near Hengyin, it was originally the fiefdom of the Bai family in the ancient Xi Kingdom era!
During his lifetime, Xiong Tuo was descended from the Xiong family, one of the four major crown clans in the ancient Xi Kingdom.
Although it is not a direct line, it cannot control the territory and military power of the Xiong family.
However, because of his family background, he went to the court of King Xi and was placed in a position of great importance, becoming a young talent.
However, later in the war when Zulong wiped out Liuhe, he fought hard and died in the battle.
After his death, he also entered the Wangtingling Palace of the ancient Xi Kingdom.
At this time, Tao Xiaowu's subordinate Yin Bing Junhou can be said to be well-informed and has seen many big scenes and big battles.
