Chapter 46: The Beginning of the Seizure of Power
When Gou Mao invited these patriarchs, he went home, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw his father with a straight face, staring at him viciously, and he looked angry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Who you off? Dog Mao asked.
The dog hairy father shook his hand and slapped it firmly on the dog hairy face. scolded: "You kid has a lot of skills, you are lawless, you dare to kill people, ah?" Who gave you the guts? ā
Gou Mao covered his face with his hands, his face turned red, and he said helplessly: "Dad, do you think I want to kill someone?" Aren't they all forced to do nothing? The guy surnamed Cai wants all my money and food, can I give it to him? Given to him, what do we brothers eat? Didn't the big worm just beat him? ā
"Then you can't kill people, can you? Do you know that murder is to pay for life, the innocence of our thousands of families for generations is now ruined in your hands, how can you let me go to see my ancestors in the future? Daddy scolded.
Gou Mao stepped forward, put his arm on his father's shoulder, and said, "Dad, our family has been poor for more than ten generations, and we haven't turned over until now, do you know why?" ā
The dog hairy father was stunned by his question, and after a while, he said, "Why?" ā
"Because our family doesn't have the strength to protect our own things, and we don't dare to risk our lives to protect our own things, just like this time, if I don't work hard, can our family eat meat?" Dog fur replied.
Listening to it, the dog hairy father thought about it in his heart, and it was indeed the same truth.
Then Gou Mao said: "Dad, if I don't work hard this time, I don't know if I can come back alive, if we don't work hard, can the dog water and dog legs be saved last time?" ā
Gou Mao saw that his father was a little loosened by what he said, and then said: "Dad, what about killing?" As long as that person should be killed, killing him, that is accumulating virtue for future generations, killing him, that is adding incense to the ancestors, we just need to do it with our own conscience, Dad, do you say this is the reason? ā
As soon as the dog hairy father was said by him, he stopped talking, and he really couldn't find anything to refute him, and this kid didn't know when he started, he spoke one by one, and he really didn't know who he learned from.
Seeing that his father had been convinced, Gou Mao said with a smile: "Dad, don't beat me in the future, I'm so old, how can you be embarrassed to do it." ā
As soon as the dog hairy father was told by him, he was furious again, and scolded: "What's wrong with beating you? You kid is a hundred years old, and he is also my cub, I can fight if I want, what can you do? ā
Gou Mao said helplessly: "Dad, this is going to get out, how bad the reputation is, I haven't asked for a wife yet, this can't scare the girls away." ā
The dog-haired father did not show weakness, and said loudly: "I don't care if you please your wife, Lao Tzu can beat me if I want to, scold if I want, and if you become my cub, you have to accept your fate." ā
"Gotta gotcha, you cow, you cow, I'll go to the kitchen and see what's delicious." With that, the dog hair ran to the kitchen.
If you want to say that Gou Mao is also a foodie, fortunately, Gou Mao Niang is really good at cooking, and she has caught up with the chef's level, which has always made Gou Mao laugh.
It didn't take long for Hair Root to come to Gou Mao's house, Gou Mao saw his haggard face, and the two panda eyes were particularly conspicuous, and quipped: "It seems that Uncle Fa and his family worked very hard last night, although they have to do the work, their bodies also have to be cherished." ā
Where have Fa Gen heard such a yellow joke, he didn't react for a while, and after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly realized, and scolded with a smile: "you, your kid's wife hasn't asked for it yet, but you know a lot about it, and if you dare to entertain me, don't think I dare to whip you." ā
"Haha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's me who is wrong, Uncle Fa, please take a seat." Dog Mao said with a smile.
Fa Gen is not polite, he sat on the stool, he didn't sleep all night yesterday, how can this happen? The one who killed was the big boss of the old ghost gang, and there were more than 100 people under him! That's a character who can walk sideways in the county!
This disaster is really a big deal, with the old ghost gang's style of doing things, how can they give up? Not to mention that Linkou Village is just a small village with a small name, even if it is a big village and a big town, once the old ghost gang makes friends, it will only be slaughtered.
Seeing the sad face on Fa Gen's face, Gou Mao said, "Actually, Uncle Fa, you don't have to worry too much, what about the old ghost gang?" It's just a gang. It's okay if they fight in groups, but if they run into an insider, he's just an old ghost gang, and it's not enough to see at all. ā
Seeing the disdain on Gou Mao's face, Fagen said, "Then how do you say we should deal with the revenge of the old ghost gang?" ā
Gou Mao smiled slightly and said: "If there is anything to deal with or not, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it." As long as you give me seven or eight days, the old ghost gang will not be a problem at all. ā
Seeing that Dog Mao was so unsightly, Fagen said sarcastically: "Looking at your appearance, do you think you have a lot of ability?" Tell me, what can you do? ā
Dog Mao was not angry, and said confidently: "Uncle Fa, it's not that my dog hair is thick and the sky is high, and it's not that my dog hair brags, as long as I give me half a year, no one can cure me." Do you believe it or not? ā
Dog Mao's infinite self-confidence made the hair roots not know what to say for a while, so the two sat opposite each other like this, and no one spoke anymore.
Soon after, the old patriarchs of the three families were all invited, and the reason why Gou Mao invited them to dinner was to seize power in their hands.
The Ming Dynasty ruled the world, the implementation of the imperial power is not lower than the county, the ruling power of the imperial court is basically to the county level, as for the townships, towns, forts, villages, basically the squire landlords, wealthy families, patriarchs, family heads and other groups of actual rule.
So you will see that after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, in a certain place, the big family in that place chose to resist, then all the people in this place would choose to resist, and if the big family chose to surrender, then basically everyone in this place would also choose to surrender. Because it is better to say that the court is ruling this place, it is better to say that this big family is ruling this place.
And as the patriarch, in this family, it can be said that the generation is the highest, the most prestige, he said a word, no one will dare to object, you don't look at his age, words may not be good, but often a big family, just because there is such a senior old man, so this family is particularly united, once the old man is gone, then a big family may fall apart.
Therefore, if Gou Mao wants to recruit more people in Linkou Village, then he must get the support of these three patriarchs, if they oppose it, Gou Mao will not be able to recruit a person. Because no one dared to oppose the words of the patriarch.
And if Gou Mao gets their support and recruits people, Gou Mao has self-confidence, and after training for a period of time, the binding force of these patriarchs on the clan will be greatly weakened, and then the power of the patriarch will basically be empty.
