This happened in mid-February and early March, and the time had ended, but the remaining power was still there.

Su Yonglin's powerful military reorganization ability and decisive killing methods also made many people afraid of him, but at the same time he also admired him.

They saw Su Yonglin killing with his own eyes with powerful force, leaving no sympathy for the opponents.

At the same time, they also saw with their own eyes that Su Yonglin rectified military affairs, changed military regulations and laws, so that the military orders were clear and the provisions were clear, and corresponding solutions could be found for various problems.

The messy situation was quickly sorted out, giving people a sudden sense of enlightenment. Everything became different from the past, and everything looked so novel and energetic.

So they understood a little bit why the original Shengjie Army had such strong combat power.

There are some things you really don’t agree with.

You can't do it yourself, and some people can easily solve all the problems, and they can't help but admire them.

Su Yonglin completed the rectification of the army, integrated Hebei's military forces, and placed them all under his command. The goal of the next stage is to increase the training level and organization of the army, so that it can be considered a combat-capable army.

Spirit is soft power, fists are hard power. It is not enough to have spirit alone. You cannot just pursue death while standing. You have to find ways to live while standing, or even make money while standing.

In order to achieve this goal, the original training regulations for the Shengjie Army were also implemented. The military's job was still in war. If the military skills were not good, everything was fake.

The fierce training began.

During the process of this plan, Su Yonglin unexpectedly welcomed Zhao Zuoliang's visit.

He really didn't expect Zhao Zuoliang to come to visit him.

After all, the two of them have always been nodding, and he could feel Zhao Zuoliang's alienation and coldness towards him, and even his vague vigilance.

Of course, he definitely can't say he has any good feelings for Zhao Zuoliang.

However, Zhao Zuoliang is relatively rational compared to other members of the Zhao family, and the things he does are a little better, not as reckless as Zhao Kaishan.

This is the news that Su Yonglin found out and his basic view of Zhao Zuoliang.

But after Zhao Zuoliang came, he was basically trying to shock him for the past year.

Zhao Zuoliang came to talk to him about the marriage in person.

When talking about Su Yonglin's own marriage, he targeted Zhao Zuoliang's daughter.

"General Su is not young anymore. It is the time to talk about marriage. I have a young daughter, who is only 28 years old, beautiful, well-educated and polite, and very smart. She has not yet married. I wonder if General Su likes someone he likes? If not, what about the little girl?"

For this person who came to the door to talk about marriage, Su Yonglin even felt that he was here to cause trouble, to make fun of him and find him to have fun.

Zhao Kaishan's uncle assisted Zhao Kaishan in managing the family for many years and was an indispensable helper.

I'm so close, but I'm here to talk about my marriage?

It doesn't seem real.

But looking at his very serious expression, Su Yonglin felt that this matter did not seem to be a joke.

The parents' orders and matchmakers' words, marriages are definitely not something that can be used to joke about.

Especially for families like them.

And to be honest, Su Yonglin is not a hot item in the marriage and love market.

During this period, not to mention the great families, even ordinary landlords and powerful families have not revealed too much thought.

Occasionally, some people come to take a look, but they don’t sound sincere, which makes Su Yonglin’s marriage look a bit difficult, as if no one wants it.

This somewhat embarrasses the rising Su Yonglin Group.

But this also made Su Yonglin feel the real political environment in which his entire group is located under Jin Ting's high pressure, as well as the real attitude of local forces in Hebei towards him.

They still did not prepare to really surrender to him and turn against the Jin Kingdom.

Even if some families participated in the rebellion, they would separate their families. Only one clan members rebelled with Su Yonglin, and another clan became a submissive people.

Some families simply ignore and act as neutral parties, and do not help anyone or who wins.

All sentient beings are truly visible.

Su Yonglin had imagined that this embarrassment would be broken by a certain iron-headed family, but he had never thought that this embarrassment would be broken by Zhao Zuoliang.

He had heard that Zhao Kaishan was practicing corruption severely, but it turned out to be his family and took Zhao Zuoliang. Zhao Zuoliang was forced to resign, handed over the power, and went home.

He thought it was a bit funny at the time, but he didn't expect that Zhao Zuoliang would appear in front of him and talk about the marriage with him.

Zhao Zuolliang is a person of Uncle Zhao Kaishan's level, and no matter what, he is an important figure in the Zhao family. How could he come here to talk to him about his marriage?

Does anyone in the Zhao family think that Zhao Kaishan is unreliable and wants to leave a way out for himself?

Although Zhao Kaishan is indeed a cheater, he is still in a successful period at this moment. Without his analytical ability, it is difficult to see that Zhao Kaishan is heading for destruction.

At this time, I made the decision to betray Zhao Kaishan and surrender to him. Could it be a prophet?

Is Zhao Zuoling of this level?

"You are a veteran of the Zhao family, with a high status and close relationship. As far as I know, the Zhao family's perception of me is generally negative, so I really can't figure out that you will come here to talk to me about marriage. Can you please help me solve my doubts?"

Zhao Zuoliao was straightforward, so Su Yonglin stopped hiding it and asked very directly.

It will be very comfortable to talk to two people who are very direct, and there will be no gap.

"This time I returned home, I began to reflect on what I had been working hard for over the years for Zhao, what I got, and what I had left in the end."

Zhao Zuoliao began to tell Su Yonglin completely what he had experienced.

Starting from a series of encounters after returning home, the taste of grievances was beyond words.

After hearing this, Su Yonglin was silent for a long time.

He didn't expect that Zhao Zuoliang began to think about the relationship between individuals and clans.

This is a minefield in real politics.

It is a minefield that even the emperor will not touch.

There is no doubt that Su Yonglin's future road plan has the goal of dismantling the clan. Although the methods are different, the goals are certain.

Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the gentry politics dominated by aristocratic families have been devastated, the political structure of the original grassroots society has been destroyed, and a vacuum of power has emerged at the grassroots society.

After the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, Confucianism gradually moved towards its revival.

After Confucianism reached its peak from the White Tiger View Conference in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it continued to decline with the great division of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and no longer had the glory of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Although the Sui and Tang Dynasties were unified, the cultural situation continued in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism were parallel, and Confucianism did not completely become the mainstream.

Until the Song Dynasty, with the increasing military conservatism, the Song Empire needed an idea that could fully guarantee the status of imperial power to become the dominant idea of ​​governing the country. Against this background, Confucianism completed its revival and regained its status as the national constitution.

Confucian scholars painted the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues and invited them to the stage again.

Under this framework, a super stable social structure was born.

In the traditional social structure below the county, clans are a very important link. To a considerable extent, clans are the real grassroots managers in the local area.

For the considerations of transportation, administrative costs and stability maintenance costs, feudal rulers did not resist sharing local grassroots power with traditional clans.

The emperor is the sect leader of the world, the head of the family is the sect leader of the clan, and the husband is the sect leader of the family.

Within their respective frameworks, they all have unquestionable powers of other officials, clan members, and family members.

If someone questioned it, then the vested interests will openly use laws, clan rules and family laws to punish rebels and safeguard their power and status.

Countless families form clans, countless clans form country, one link after another, and every class of a society can enjoy the benefits brought by the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues.

Even if he is a poor man, he has the right to deal with his family, and his wife and children cannot disobey him.

The super-stable social structure was thus formed, and at a great level the cost of the feudal empire's grassroots governance.

Because all beneficiaries under the Three Bonds and Five Constant System will unconsciously maintain this system.

It was during the Song Dynasty that this system was once again developed and its social stability was enhanced than before. The power to maintain stability was unprecedentedly enhanced, greatly reducing the cost of the Song court's rule and stability maintenance costs.

There is no need to move the regime downward indefinitely, nor to increase the expenditure of officials indefinitely. With unified thoughts and the Three Bonds and Five Constant Permanence, the Song court can also achieve the goal of maintaining local stability.

The clan is this important stability maintenance agency between civilians and government officials.

The imperial finances were never very abundant. Among the many expenditure projects, only the expenses for raising officials could be a little careless. They could reduce expenses in this regard. How would the rulers object?

Of course, this also invisibly increased the clan's power expansion in the local area, forming a grassroots ecology in which the government and clans share power.

However, this ecology has helped the empire maintain stability and cut administrative expenses, but it will also take back this dividend in other places.

There has never been a two-way situation. When a ruler makes a judgment, he often has a judgment that he has the least rights to choose.

The same is true for this.

The clan reduces the cost and difficulty of the imperial court and helps the imperial court pay the cost of ruling and stability maintenance. So is this cost given to the imperial court for free?

Is it possible that the clan is a charity organization that manages the court for free and also gives away taxes and mobilization levels?
