Chapter 63 Mi Family

However, this Wang Lang was a disciple of Yang Zhen, who was known as Kansai Confucius by the world. He was worshiped as a doctor because he was proficient in the classics. Later, when Yang Ci passed away, he abandoned his official position to mourn, and should not be filial and honest.

Such behavior earned him a huge reputation, and now at home, he is considered a representative figure among the scholars of Donghai County!

Especially the Hongnong Yang family, they are probably the only noble family that can compete with the Runan Yuan family now!

Moreover, although Yang Zhen died young, his son Yang Ci served as the teacher of Emperor Liu Hong in his early years, and was a rare person among scholars who was deeply trusted by Liu Hong.

So since Wang Lang is a student of the Yang family, his background is very strong!

At this moment, the Wang family's home was full of people. Scholars from various families in Tan County gathered at Wang Lang's home. The topic of conversation was of course the new prefect Zheng Xiaoming, who was about to arrive.

"The emperor is so stupid that he actually sent Zheng Xiaoming, a traitor who clings to his relatives and eunuchs, to our East China Sea as the governor. I'm afraid we, the people of the East China Sea, will suffer!"

"How about we come forward together and expel this Zheng Xiaoming?"

"It's inappropriate, absolutely inappropriate. Then Zheng Xiaoming clings to his relatives and eunuchs, and he has won the trust of the emperor. He was expelled by us before he took office, which will definitely make the emperor furious. By then, we in the East China Sea will be in trouble!

"

Everyone was busy discussing their attitude towards Zheng Xiaoming, and after talking for a long time, no one could make up their mind.

Finally, everyone looked at Wang Lang and Wang Jingxing, who were looking up, waiting for Wang Lang to make his decision.

Wang Lang closed his eyes and said nothing, pondering in his mind. Although fame has many benefits, it also has many disadvantages.

Just like now, everyone is waiting for him to make up his mind.

But he knew how Zheng Xiaoming was so easy to deal with?

Zheng Xiaoming is not just as simple as clinging to the eunuch's relatives. The ordinary lucky people who cling to the eunuch's relatives are just poor children with no foundation.

For example, the people who came from the Hongdu sect and were entrusted with high positions established by Emperor Liu Hong had no roots and no available talents, so they could be easily dealt with.

But Zheng Xiaoming is different. He is from the Zheng family in Nanyang. Although the Zheng family in Nanyang is a little-known family, don't forget that Zheng Xiaoming is also the son-in-law of the Yin family.

The Yin family is an old surname of the country. Although it is no longer a disaster, the centipede insect is still dead. The family has a family tradition, and there are still many talents among the children of the family!

This shows that Zheng Xiaoming has someone available... This is not so easy to deal with!

Today's cultural knowledge is monopolized in the hands of the gentry.

Ordinary people without family background cannot even read or write.

Not to mention, all kinds of knowledge and experience on how to deal with political affairs are passed down in the hands of those aristocratic families.

This is how these noble families are proud of themselves and how they can manipulate others!

Even the emperor had nothing to do with them! Even if the party imprisoned them, they still needed the cooperation of these noble families to govern the country.

However, now, their approach has little effect on Zheng Xiaoming. Zheng Xiaoming has enough manpower to build an administrative team. In addition, Zheng Xiaoming holds a gun in his hand and can forcefully resist.

It’s even more detrimental to people like them!

So Wang Lang thought again and again, and finally said, "The governor is the head of a county, how can we do anything disobedient? Since the governor will take office tomorrow, of course we have to go out to greet him!"

The current generation still has the spirit of enfeoffment from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which regarded the prefecture as a country, so the prefect was also regarded as the king, and the prefect's yamen were even called the prefecture dynasty. That is, the court in the prefecture!

Therefore, it is normal for the county magistrate to be served as if he were the king of the country.

But it's different from the prefect in later generations. The prefect is just your superior and has no need to be loyal. But in this era, there is an ethics of loyalty to the prefect!

Of course, this is only from an ethical point of view.

Although many times, ethics are used to destroy!

Many Donghai scholars were dissatisfied with Wang Lang's words, but it was hard to refute him directly. You can't make people think that you are a disloyal and unjust person without a king or father, right?

In addition, Zheng Xiaoming, the new governor, was really menacing. Even Wang Lang, the leader of the Donghai scholars, did not intend to engage in confrontation. They were already timid and did not dare to say anything.

Compared to Wang Lang and other Donghai scholars who were very dissatisfied with Zheng Xiaoming's arrival, they could only pinch their noses and admit the difference.

The Mi family in Tan County was very happy when they heard about Zheng Xiaoming's arrival.

The Mi family in Tan County...yes, it's the Mi family of Mi Zhu and Mi Fang.

The Mi family is one of the richest people in the East China Sea and one of the most famous wealthy businessmen in the world.

It is said that his ancestors were engaged in farming, with a fortune of over 100 million, and nearly 10,000 servants and customers... However, in fact, the Mi family's wealth was even greater than in the legend.

Because the money of the Mi family does not come from land reclamation and farming alone. From the name of Donghai County, you can tell that this place is close to the sea... In this era, there are not many coastlines and future generations.

After nearly two thousand years, the sediment deposited by the Yellow River pushed the sea level forward by dozens or hundreds of miles.

Therefore, Donghai County at this time is close to the sea. So how does the Mi family run the business, which is close to the sea? I don’t need to think too much about it, right?

That’s right, they also operate sea trade!

Therefore, it is a bit exaggerated to say that the Mi family is as rich as the country, but the amount of assets is beyond other people's imagination.

However, although the Mi family has a lot of property, they are not a noble family, and no one in the family has been an official for generations.

This led to a big problem, that is, the Mi family did not have an official protective umbrella, so they could only become other people's leeks and be harvested one after another.

The Mi family has long wanted to find someone with a strong upper body, but they have never been able to find a suitable candidate before.

Most of the former governors and governors came from noble families. They treated the Mi family like leeks and never showed mercy. Whenever money was needed, the Mi family would donate it.

But to fully accommodate the Mi family and take refuge... the Mi family must take a liking to it!

Could it be that the Mi family’s tens of thousands of servants and diners are fake?

When these people are pulled out, they become a private army. If they are really desperate, they will immediately rebel. Then the governor and governor will not have any good fruits to eat!

Although they have powerful force, the Mi family's desire to find someone with thick legs to hug has never changed.

Otherwise, how could the Mi family defect to Liu Bei so easily in the original time and space?

And now, Zheng Xiaoming is here. Undoubtedly, he is also an excellent candidate.

First of all, Zheng Xiaoming was regarded by the nobles as a relative of the eunuchs, which meant that he probably did not have political mysophobia and would not be opposed to the Mi family's surrender.

Secondly, it is precisely because Zheng Xiaoming is a relative and eunuch behind him, so this thigh is thick enough.
