Chapter 335: The clan system is planned
In the guest room of the temporary meeting of the Taiyuan Five Business Alliance, Wang Yuehe was chatting with Bai Chengzhi. There was a teacup in front of each of them, but the tea in the cup was no longer hot, but it seemed that it had been poured for a while.
However, Wang Yuehe chatted with this Bai Chengzhi for a long time, he himself has always been cautious and meticulous, although he is young, he has a bit of communication skills, although Bai Chengzhi is a few years older than Wang Yuehe, but he chatted for a long time, but he has never obtained useful information from Wang Yuehe's mouth. On the contrary, Bai Chengzhi was careless a few times during the conversation, but Wang Yuehe found out a lot of information.
Bai Chengzhi came to visit today, and to put it bluntly, it was for one thing.
He is the fifth son of Bai Canghai, the ninth master of the current patriarch of the Bai family in Dengzhou, and according to the ancestral teachings of the Bai family, he cannot succeed to the next patriarch of the Bai family. Speaking of which, before the Dengzhou Bai family was not supported by the current royal family, it was also a long-standing family in Dengzhou, of course, the Dengzhou Bai family at that time was naturally incomparable with the Qi King who ruled Shandong at the same time, but the family that has been inherited for so long always has some stubborn and unchanging customs.
Among them, for the other children of the Dengzhou Bai family's sect branch who are not the eldest sons, it is quite cruel.
According to Confucianism, the Bai family of Dengzhou has been based in Dengzhou, Dongzhou for nearly a thousand years, and has always implemented the primogeniture inheritance system. And the one who maintains this system is the presbyterian church of the Bai family in Dengzhou. Unlike the elders of the Qizhou Wang family, all of whom are masters of the rivers and lakes, the members of the elders of the Bai family in Dengzhou are all a group of Confucians, familiar with Confucian classics, and they are very particular about the etiquette system. In their hearts that do not know how to be flexible, the primogeniture system is the most effective family inheritance system to maintain the family bloodline and maintain the stability of the family, and it has been pursued unchanged for thousands of years.
It is also for this reason that among the generations of children of the Bai family in Dengzhou, there are many heroic and talented children, who have been buried because of the family's thousand-year-old inheritance system, or died young for various reasons, or depressed and undesirable in their lives. Because of the maintenance of the power of the sect branch master's family, the children of those sect branch side families or side branches will all be issued various bans to restrict their development and growth, which is the rights protection system of the Dengzhou Bai family. Even more than 500 years ago, Dengzhou Dongbai was able to truly develop and grow because of the support of today's royal family, and many clan disciples in the family were officials, but this inheritance system and rights maintenance system that has been passed down for thousands of years still poisoned a large group of Yingjie children of the Dengzhou Bai family.
Bai Chengzhi has seen too many ambitious elders in the family because of the constraints of the family's inheritance system and the restriction of the rights maintenance system, and depressed, the end of a mediocre life, he has high ambitions, coupled with extraordinary talent, naturally does not want to continue to repeat the mistakes of his predecessors. He just wants to fight as much as he can before he becomes a victim of the family inheritance system and the rights protection system.
Even if it is still possible to be poisoned by the family's primogeniture inheritance system and rights protection system in the future, Bai Chengzhi resisted at least when he was young, so when he was sacrificed by the family system, he would not regret that he did not work hard.
Bai Chengzhi came this time to ally with the people of the Five Merchants Alliance, especially the new "Dragon King" Wang Yuelong, so that he could have a strong external help when he challenged the family system in the future.
I have to say that accustomed to the relatively relaxed and more free benign competition family system of the five major families of the Five Business Alliance, Wang Yuehe did not have a deep understanding of Bai Chengzhi's distress, but he was deeply sympathetic.
To say that the five major families of the Five Merchants Alliance of Dongzhou in the Qi Dynasty, although within the family, the main family of the sect branch and the side family of the sect branch, the branch and the side branch, and the side branch and the side branch are not only fighting with each other, but no matter how fierce the infighting of which family is, this is a kind of healthy competition between the children of each family, and the family cohesion of each of the five major families can always be maintained at a high intensity. It also enables the five major families to stand on the land of Dongzhou for a hundred years and thousands of years, and even face dozens of hundreds of nearly thousands of catastrophes, but they can still recover quickly.
Of course, this is also a secret that countless gangs and clans want to excavate, after all, no force wants to be scattered within itself, and there is no cohesion among each other.
And this is the secret that the imperial court wants to know today, after all, compared to those sects and gangs and family forces that divide one side of the rivers and lakes, the imperial court that rules the world is the number one threat to the Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance of the King of Qi, and it is also the group of people who want to uproot the Dongzhou Five Merchants Alliance the most.
In fact, this time, Bai Chengzhi came to visit the Five Merchants Alliance and Wang Yuelong, in addition to wanting to win over the behemoth of the Five Merchants Alliance as his allies, but also to explore some of the five major families of the Five Merchants Alliance.
But it's a pity that if Bai Chengzhi ran into Zhang Chengluo, that tenacious guy might be fooled by Bai Chengzhi, but he just met Wang Yuehe, and Bai Chengzhi naturally couldn't dig these things out of the cautious and careful Wang Yuehe's mouth.
Although the law of governing the five families of the Five Merchants Alliance is not a secret, because it involves a series of very complex things such as the martial arts system of the five major families, and it also includes some confidential information, Wang Yuehe will not easily let go in front of Bai Chengzhi.
"Brother Yuehe, but I don't know when Wang Changhong, the predecessor of Wang Changhong, will be able to come over?" After negotiating with Wang Yuehe for a long time, he didn't find anything, Rao is Bai Chengzhi, who has a good temperament, also seemed a little impatient at the moment, and couldn't help revealing a feeling of being a little uncontrollable during the questioning.
"Brother Bai, don't worry, after all, the law enforcement elder is in charge of all the affairs of my five business alliance's more than 100 people, if there is any delay, please be considerate of Brother Bai. Wang Yuehe had a faint smile on his face, and calmly went back.
Bai Chengzhi smiled reluctantly, but secretly scolded in his heart: "What a cunning little fox." ”
