Three Kingdoms

Fei Qian stood in front of Fei Min's house, and couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment.

I remember that at that time, because I couldn't deal with trivial matters, I had to trade the books my father left behind in exchange for some freedom.

This is the rule of a noble family.

It’s not that no one has tried to cross it for hundreds of years, but those who have tried to cross it have been killed by these established rules.

Will it be an accident for the Heluofei family?

Fei Qian doesn't know.

Fei Qian just knows that among many competitors, it is often not that easy for someone to become the head of the family...

In the Han Dynasty, unless the direct descendants of the family head were unhappy, there was really no choice. Most family heads would let their children inherit the position of head of the family.

Of course, this inheritance is also based on so-called fair competition, and everyone knows what this so-called competition is.

Most of the time, the head of the family has already monopolized some knowledge through various means. As the children of the head of the family, they themselves will have more opportunities and more resources. Unless they are really committing suicide, they will become the head of the next generation and become the head of the next generation. It's not too difficult.

In fact, the prototype of aristocratic families existed as far back as the Yan and Huang Dynasties.

At that time, Emperors Yan and Huang were only leaders in name, but when encountering some major events, they still needed to summon the leaders of other affiliated tribes to come to the alliance to discuss world affairs. Powerful families that came from tribal alliances rose and fell. There have been ups and downs, but the pattern of aristocratic families and emperors co-ruling the world has always been the mainstream and continues to this day.

Fei Qian threw his name at the concierge and waited quietly amidst the concierge's laughter.

The concierge is the person with the most poisonous eyes. The last time Fei Qian brought Uncle Fu, if it wasn't for the sake of the five baht, Fei Min's concierge would have ignored him. But this time, Fei Min's concierge would have ignored him. Qian didn't take out a penny, but the concierge smiled like a flower.

Everyone has their own way of survival.

Just like the various classes in the society of the Han Dynasty today, people from each class are playing their own roles.

It can be said that the Han Dynasty was divided into four classes.

First of all, of course, it was the royal family, that is, the central government represented by the Liu family. Their appeal was to weaken the clan and consolidate the family world, so as to maintain the Liu family's rule for thousands of years. This is why the phenomenon of relatives and eunuchs taking turns in power continued to appear in the Han Dynasty.

Next are aristocratic families and emerging noble families. The main political needs of these people are land and population. At this point, the goals of the aristocratic families are the same, so to a certain extent they will join forces to fight against the imperial power and maintain their own status, but they also compete fiercely with each other.

Because the economic foundation of the aristocratic noble families is to "occupy mountains and protect swamps", they acquire large amounts of land to run their own manor economy. The objects of their annexation are the yeoman farmers, and the yeoman farmers are the economic foundation of the central royal family. The government taxes and military service need to be borne by the yeoman farmers. This makes the manor economy of the clan and the economic income of the central government completely conflict with each other. That's why the noble family actually grew stronger by drinking the blood of the royal family.

People at the third level are small powerful people, also known as humble men. The small tycoons have more local characteristics. Unlike the aristocratic nobles, who are a combination of big bureaucrats and big families, they do not have high demands for power and have more pragmatic demands. They hope that there will be a "wise king" who can protect the country and the people, so that their family will not be affected by the Yellow Turbans or the like. When bandits invade, it's enough to be a stable local rich man.

The appeal of the Hanshi, that is, the small landowners, was to break through the gentry's monopoly on officialdom and gain the opportunity to achieve success. Nowadays, the promotion of filial piety and integrity is nominally to select the virtuous people in the state and county, but in fact it has been monopolized by the gentry, and the family background is almost despised in various ways.

Because the elites who were born as small landowners have no way out and their upward path is blocked, they are eager for opportunities and their own prosperity.

As for the most basic civilians, homesteaders, these people have only one most important need, which is stability, food to eat, and clothing to wear.

And now Fei Qian feels that he seems to be in the middle between the Hanshi and the gentry. It is somewhat reasonable to say that he is a gentry. After all, marrying the Huang family in Jingxiang is no longer a Hanshi; but to say that he is a gentry, he cannot talk about it. Because he himself is still a descendant of the Heluofei family, and the head of the Fei family is still Fei Min.

Feimin was still wearing a brocade robe, with a three-stroke beard, a square face, and a chubby figure, but this time he was obviously smiling a lot more than last time.

Fei Min stood in front of the hall. When he saw Fei Qian coming with the housekeeper, he took two steps forward and said with a smile: "My nephew Ziyuan, how are you doing?"

Fei Qian stepped forward and bowed his hands in salute, saying: "Greetings to uncle! It's been a long time since I last saw you, and my uncle looks even better than he did the night before!"

Fei Min laughed loudly, extended her hand to signal, and asked Fei to sneak into the hall and sit down. Fei Qian naturally respectfully asked Fei Min to go first. Fei Min made a slight gesture and took the lead in entering the hall and sitting in the middle.

When Fei Qian sat down, Fei Min ordered tea to be served, and asked Fei Qian with a smile about some of the things he had experienced in Jingxiang...

Fei Qian picked up some and talked to Fei Min. He also apologized to Fei Min: "Because the marriage was unexpected, I failed to inform the family head in time. It is Qian's fault. I hope my uncle Haihan will forgive me."

Fei Min raised his head and laughed twice, squinting his eyes and brushing his beard, and said: "In the past, Yun once said that he wanted to find a good wife for you, but Zi Yun went west first... Now Zi Yuan marries Huang, but it's not I also deserve what Zi Yun said."

Speaking of this, Fei Min still had some inexplicable feelings in his heart. I originally thought that Fei Qian's family was not prosperous and his family was about to fall into ruin, so he calculated the collection of books left in Fei Qian's family when he was still a young official. However, he did not expect that in the blink of an eye, this Fei Qian would He actually caught up with Cai Yong and was accepted as a disciple by Cai Yong and Liu Hong. His status suddenly rose a lot...

In desperation, Fei Min thought of choosing one of the girls in the family to marry Fei Qian, but before the plan was launched, Fei Qian ran to Jingxiang and married the only daughter of the Huang family in Jingxiang. No matter from which perspective, Fei Qian has gotten rid of the original situation of small manpower and has become a role with a certain weight in the Fei family.

In fact, Fei Qian did not inform Fei Min in advance before getting married, which was a bit unethical. However, after all, Fei Qian and Fei Min were separated from each other, and Pang Degong, the number one cultural leader in Jingxiang, acted as a matchmaker, so Fei Min's original importance was replaced. Now that Fei Qian has brought this matter up publicly, it is also a test for Fei Min...
