Chapter 6488 None are good things

When the filter is added, the father-in-law's family is undoubtedly the local tyrant and a wealthy family for generations to these officers and soldiers who are basically born into peasant families.

But now that they have come to Central Asia and their filters have been broken, when these officers begin to look at their father-in-law's families from a normal person's perspective, they will find that most of their fathers-in-law are just like that.

Nonsense, of course that's the case. These officers and generals didn't marry direct descendants of wealthy families, but basically married daughters of branches of major aristocratic families or distant relatives. With the family reputation of wealthy families, these branches are better off than ordinary families.

In a normal large family, only the main family will have hereditary titles and official positions, and this is already considered the top-notch one. Take the Wuji Zhen family of Zhongshan as an example. Before they clung to the thighs of Liu Bei and Chen Xi, this family was not only rich, but also a first-class floor tile.

Their real power did not lie in their wealth, but in the fact that the head of the family would basically inherit an official position - Empress Wen Zhao Zhen, a native of Wuji, Zhongshan, the mother of Emperor Ming, and Empress Zhen Handan, the Grand Tutor of the Han Dynasty, was a hereditary official of two thousand stones.

Of course, it cannot be completely said to be hereditary. Just like the succession in later generations, family members will help him to secure the official position, and then rely on this two thousand stone official position, plus money, to maintain the stability of the family.

It can be said that the most important reason why the major families can have such a great reputation in their own territories is that they are basically regarded as nobles for generations. It is not a surprising thing for one generation to be an official, but if generations of people have been officials and have reached the equivalent of provincial and ministerial levels, then it will not take three generations and they will be deeply rooted in the local area.

But the strong ones are the main family and the close branches. Although those distant branches will also rely on this relationship and connections to make a living, and can also get some, after all, a rich man in the mountains has distant relatives. What's more, such a super big family will give some benefits to distant relatives even for the sake of uniting the power of the main family and the surname.

This is why the population of a large family is so huge. It is gathered together bit by bit, and in the end, it needs both strength and manpower, and then it's done!

However, is a family gathered together like this really strong?
Strong, at least for ordinary people, it is completely overwhelming strength, but for people like Bai Hao and Guo Hong, it is really just like that.

"Tingting, how do you feel about being here?" Guo Hong took his wife to the room prepared by his father-in-law in the afternoon. He performed a secret spell to block out the sound and then asked tentatively.

The officers who can reach this level are definitely first-rate killing talents. Even a military commander like Guo Hong, who has weak combat effectiveness, has at least undergone triple smelting after the collapse of the sky, so it is no problem for him to kill a few people. But if you want this group of people to be reasonable or persuade them, don't make things difficult for them.

"Well, Tingting, I'm going to tell you something from my heart, please don't be angry." Guo Hong said tentatively to his wife. Although his father-in-law's family is like this, his wife is still his wife, and he has been grateful to his wife for all these years. He should still praise her, so Guo Hong was somewhat cautious when he spoke.

Hu Ting was stunned at first when she heard this, then her eyebrows slightly twitched, and all kinds of plans arose in her mind.

"So there is no future for him. At best he can pick up some leftovers from the benefits distributed to the direct descendants by the Wang family in Taiyuan." Guo Hong hinted crazily, even using the idioms his wife had taught him.

Hu Ting's face turned a little ugly. Although she wanted to refute, after all, it was not only Guo Hong who had the filter bonus. Hu Ting herself, who was born in Anding Hu family, also had a filter bonus. After all, that was her hometown where she was born, raised and educated. As a result, the filter was shattered and she was furious!
"Yes, this is the final result at best." Hu Ting gritted her teeth and admitted the reality. After the filter was broken, many things became embarrassing, but it was meaningless to deny the reality. His mother's family now only has the status of a third-class person. How embarrassing!
"So, Tingting, why don't you try to dig all your family members over to our side." Guo Hong gritted his teeth and confronted his wife directly. There was no other way. This matter could not be bypassed by Hu Ting anyway. No matter how he approached her family or how he digged people, he had to go through Hu Ting's channel.

"Wang Xi ran over and told me and Brother Lao Bai." Guo Hong did not hide anything and said directly that the three brothers were comrades in the same boat and there was nothing to hide.

A branch of a noble family that is not a direct descendant and does not have any geniuses is also a firewood in itself. Its upper limit is higher than that of ordinary people, but when facing strong people like Bai Hao and Guo Hong who have fought their way out from the bottom, they are really far behind. They didn’t feel it before because of the filter bonus, but now that the filter is broken, for these people, the so-called wealthy family for generations is just like this!
A high-ranking official with a salary of 2,000 stones, I'm so scared, fuck, it's as if I don't exist among my comrades. I didn't have this thought before, but now I have this thought, and I look at my father-in-law from the same perspective. These officers who have reached this point by their own abilities have discovered a lot of things in an instant.

"You see, my family doesn't have much future here. They can just work for the Wang family in Taiyuan. And the ones who can really work are the direct descendants of the Hu family in Ren'ding, don't you think?" Although he had used secret techniques to block the sound and displayed special talents, Guo Hong still carefully glanced around when he spoke. This was a habit he developed after years of military service.

As for Guo Hong, it's okay to ask Guo Hong to kill someone, but it's really difficult for Guo Hong, who is not good at talking, to persuade his father-in-law to join their family and become a helper.

"Why are you so angry? My mother's family is trash, my brothers and sisters are trash, my own family is trash, and they have no ambition at all. When I asked them why they didn't build their own fiefdom, they actually told me that there were many bandits at that time, and that this was more stable. Ah, is this an answer? They are trash!" Hu Ting was obviously a little crazy. How could her mother's family become like this?

"So I feel very ashamed." Hu Ting said angrily, how come my family, which was so powerful a few years ago, has become like this.

"Ah, he's so useless. My father is so useless. Let's go to the Wang family in Taiyuan. It's really not possible to go to the Hu family in Anding. It's so embarrassing." After Guo Hong opened the secret technique, Hu Ting shouted to her husband as if to vent her anger, "Ah, why don't the old seniors in the family work hard? As a result, we can't learn anything here. It's so embarrassing!"

"Who came up with this?" Hu Ting asked her husband. Although Hu Ting roughly guessed that it must have been one of her evil sisters who came up with this idea, she still wanted to ask.

"Hu Yan, she is indeed smarter than me. I didn't expect it to be this way." Hu Ting exhaled, "Leave it to me. This is indeed a way to solve the problem. It's very simple."

"Hey, hey, hey, wife, don't do anything rash. If this gets exposed, it will be a big problem." Guo Hong called to his wife.

"I know that here my mother's family is only treated as a third-class person. If I come to our place, you will give me the opportunity to have my family tree published separately, right?" Hu Ting asked Guo Hong. "If you really want to help me, and don't target my son, I will help my father-in-law in any way I can. My younger and older brothers-in-law are my brothers." Guo Hong said very honestly. Nowadays, let alone relatives, fellow villagers are very close. If you meet fellow villagers far away from home, you can have a meal with them. As long as there is no grudge, they will basically welcome you.

In fact, the reason why Guo Hong was wary of his father-in-law was because of Hu Ting herself. Hu Ting started to instill a lot of things into Guo Hong, and then Guo Hong was completely confused. After that, he followed his wife to guard against his father-in-law's family.

"That's fine." Hu Ting said with a smile, "Leave the rest to me."

At the same time, Wang Xi's wife Hu Yan had gone to meet her parents. Just as Hu Ting thought, Hu Yan was the smartest among the concubines of their generation. However, if there was only Hu Yan, Hu Yan would not dare to steal Anding Hu's girl.

Although the filter was broken, Hu Yan knew to some extent how big the difference was between her own family and her mother's family. No matter how incompetent the Anding Hu family was, they were still a Guannei Marquis, and her husband was still stuck in the thirteenth or fourteenth level of nobility. The gap of five levels was no joke.

But if Bai Hao and Guo Hong were also dragged into the water, three people with titles of 14th or 15th level would poach some women from the family of a Guannei Marquis, and then run away thousands of miles away and never have any contact with them again, it seems that the Guannei Marquis' family would have no way to deal with it. After all, they are not without backers, but it is just not easy to use them.

"Dad, is it comfortable living in Zhongya?" Hu Yan asked her father in an inquiring tone when she saw him. To be honest, in her father's eyes, Hu Yan was just a smart and somewhat impressive concubine's daughter. After all, his father had many children, both boys and girls. The reason why Hu Yan left some impression on her father was because she was smart enough in school.

To be honest, just for this reason, Hu Yan felt that she still had to thank the Anding Hu family. There was only this kind of private school within the clan. As long as they had the surname Hu, people like them could go and listen, and it was free. Nowadays, the gap between literate and illiterate is really huge.

"It's OK. In the beginning, it wasn't as good as my hometown, but after it developed, it's pretty good. Besides, we have the Roman trade route here, so we can always get some rare and strange things." Father Hu glanced at his daughter who was full of evil intentions. He really didn't pay much attention to her in the past, but who made this daughter end up with a good husband? Several of his daughters regretted it when they mentioned it.

"Roman's trade route is on our side?" Hu Yan said somewhat strangely.

"Well, Rome has business dealings with Cao Sikong. We are on this line and can also enjoy some benefits of the business." Father Hu said calmly.

It was mainly the people of Xiliang. Their lives were hard to begin with, and after the Central Asians defeated the Parthians, they redistributed the benefits. These noble families from the Central Plains seized this opportunity and more or less squeezed out what they wanted from the corpses of the Parthians.

So for families like the Anding Hu family, life in Central Asia is much better now than in Liangzhou, and they have more resources at their disposal than in Liangzhou.

"Dad, don't you have any ambitions?" Hu Yan said with a somewhat contemptuous expression.

"No, it's better here than back home." Father Hu said calmly, "In the past, I had to eat sand in the spring and summer in Liangzhou. After coming here, I don't have to eat sand, and the climate is also suitable."

Compared to those in Kanto, the aristocratic families in Kansai are more adaptable to the environment here, because most of their hometowns are on the second step. The two thousand meters altitude is nothing, they themselves are almost that high. And the best thing about Central Asia is that no one cares, so they can really fly!
"Dad, let me ask you something. Was it you or your family who took away your grandson's fiefdom?" Hu Yan went straight to the point and laid out the matter.

"I do have an idea, but do you think I can eat it?" Father Hu said disdainfully, "It's easier to eat with the mountains behind you, but the wild beasts in the mountains will also come down to eat people."

Hu Yan was stunned for a moment, then looked at her father. She wondered what her father meant by this. Wait, why would her father speak like this about his family in front of her?

"Don't let your imagination run wild. With your father's situation, is he still planning to take your son's fief? He's my grandson after all." Father Hu curled his lips and said, "I'm just a messenger. You know, I don't have much ability. I just rely on eating and drinking from my relatives. Without relatives, it would be a miracle for me to support more than a dozen children. During the Qiang Rebellion, every household outside was out of food. With the support of the Anding Hu family, at least our family's rice jelly never stopped."

Hu Yan nodded. Although his childhood was miserable, at least he had food to eat, no matter it was wild vegetables, broken rice porridge, or millet. His father really raised all ten children. In the end, no one knew whose property he had encroached on or which branch of the family had been wiped out. He even replaced his house with a private courtyard.

"That's it. We've been eating their rice for decades. Although the house was obtained by your father, I and your five brothers coercing others, but without An Ding Hu, could our family succeed in coercing them?" Hu's father asked with a fierce face, "So my family asked me to pass on a message to you. Can I not pass it on? Of course I have to pass it on, but don't hold any grudges. You have five brothers, two younger brothers, and seventeen nephews. There will be more in the future. An Ding Hu family can't bully you."

What is a bitch? This is a bitch. Hu's father is very clear-headed. What is the most important thing these days? His sons. He has so many children and grandchildren, and they also have the surname Hu. How can the Hu family of Anding bully him even if they are stupid? Do his children and grandchildren really not exist?

"Dad, how many daughters and granddaughters do you have?" Hu Yan asked after a while.

Father Hu was silent for a long time, then glared at his daughter and asked, "Will you speak? We are having a good chat. Your father will tell you about his great achievements. Just listen carefully!"
Ah, if you have votes, please vote. The author is almost gone.
