An army of thousands is easy to obtain, but a general is difficult to find.

Only by truly being there can you feel the hardships of starting a business.

Wei Shi, who lived in the seventh year of Jian'an, had just established himself in these troubled times. His position as governor of Fangling was also his first step in integrating into the Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty.

In order to improve his strength as quickly as possible, Wei Shi is like the small entrepreneurs and small bosses of later generations. He wishes he could transform into a man with three heads and six arms. He wishes he could use all his connections to attract talents, raise funds and expand the scale.

Wei Shi was going to take a good harvest of Liu Biao's wool.

Liu Bei never thought of giving up. It was a great merit that the people in the Xinye area could move to Fangling early and avoid the catastrophe a few years later.

The word benevolence and righteousness is easy to say but difficult to practice.

Wei Shi only hopes that he can maintain his original intention and protect the people around him as much as possible.

Wei Xiao'e, Han Jin and their party made a large circle in Yushu Bay, Hanjiawan, Dengjiawan and other villages. Their return made the familiar villagers around them warm up.

"Hey, Xiao'e is getting more and more beautiful. It seems that Brother Shi is getting rich?"

"Brother Shi, that's the prefect of a county. If we see him, should we call him sir?"

"Sir, my lord, if I had known this was the case, I should have followed him to Fangling. Maybe now, like this boy Han Jin, I could return home in glorious robes."

...

The villagers have little knowledge.

The number of times I go out is limited on weekdays, and the only people I can meet are people from nearby villages.

When they saw Wei Xiao'e, Han Jin and other people who had moved away earlier come back in glory, their originally peaceful hearts finally lost their peace.

After some discussion, the elders of the Deng clan in Dengjiawan finally decided that one branch of the clan would move to Fangling, while the rest would continue to live in Xinye.

This practice of clan branching was very common in the Han Dynasty.

As for whether the branched branches or the main branch will develop better in the future, it all depends on luck, and no one can guarantee it.

"Sister Xiao'e, is Shi... brother really becoming a prefect? ​​How big an official is that? Is it as big as Uncle Liu Huang in Xinye City?" Five-year-old Deng Ai followed behind Wei Xiao'e.

He asked questions with a curious face.

He suffered from a stutter and was bullied in the village, so Wei Xiao'e sympathized with him and took good care of him.

This time the Deng family branched out, Deng Ai and his mother weighed it again and again, and finally chose to go to Fangling to seek a living, while his uncle Deng Fan from the same clan chose to stay.

In order to make a distinction in the genealogy, Deng Ai's name was also changed.

"Which one is bigger, I don't know, but my brother is very capable. My sister-in-law said that in a few years, he might be able to become the governor?"

Wei Xiao'e said proudly.

She actually didn't know which official was bigger between Wei Shi and Liu Bei, but based on the principle of close relationship, she naturally supported Wei Shi.

"Prefect? ​​How old is the governor? If I follow Brother Shi, I can lead the team like Brother Jin." Deng Ai's little heart was filled with longing for the future.

Team rate.

It was just the lowest position in the Han army.

At this time, Deng Ai still didn't know that his future military position would be many times greater than his team leader.

——

Yingchuan County, Yan County.

Tang Mao, the patriarch of the Tang clan and former prefect of Kuaiji, brought a group of clan elders to the villa and came to see Hongnong Princess Tang Ying reluctantly.

Although they are father and daughter, the relationship between Tang Mao and Tang Ying is not very good, because after the death of Hongnong King Liu Bian, Tang Mao once strongly requested Tang Ying to remarry someone else out of the interests of the Tang family.

The concubine of the deposed emperor Liu Bian.

Tang Ying's identity attracted many men who aspired to become Liu Bian's brother-in-law.

Some men with special habits even spent a lot of money to get Tang Ying.

Tang Mao was a snobbish person, and besides, he was not the only daughter of Tang Ying. Naturally, he wholeheartedly approved of such a situation where women were sold for money and rare goods could be obtained.

Unfortunately, the remarriage was strongly opposed by Tang Ying. She clearly remembered that when Liu Bian committed suicide by drinking poisonous wine, he once told her that he would not marry anyone else in this life.

Tang Mao forced her several times, but Tang Ying refused to obey.

During the stalemate, Liu Xie, who had just been welcomed by Cao Cao, heard about Tang Ying's affairs and sent eunuchs in the palace to deliver an edict, conferring Tang Ying the title of Princess Hongnong and presenting her with valuables such as money and silk.

Because Emperor Liu Xie attached great importance to Tang Ying, Tang Hao could not exert pressure as an elder, which made him feel quite unhappy. Therefore, the number of visits to his villa was very few.

This time, Tang Mao came to the other house to ask for a meeting with Tang Ying, mainly for Wei Shi's recognition of his ancestor.

After the death of Tang Zhen, the ancestor of the Tang family, the descendants of the younger generation had few prospects, and the family was gradually declining. By the time of Tang Mao's generation, they had been reduced to the second-class nobles in Yingchuan.

Compared with the decline of the Tang family, emerging families such as the Xun family and the Chen family are full of talented people. When their descendants serve as high officials in the court, they are like stars, countless.

If this continues, it is possible that the Tang family will eventually become a poor family, or even that the family will continue to pass on and fall to Luzuo Buyi.

For this reason, Tang Mao was extremely worried.

At this moment, Wei Shi, a descendant of the Tang family with a foreign surname, suddenly appeared like a comet, shining brightly in the eyes of Tang Mao, who was suffering from having no successor.

There is no one left in the Wei family.

If Wei Shi could change his surname to Tang, he would be a descendant of his Tang family.

Even if Wei Shi holds a high position in the future and changes his surname to Wei, the Tang family will still be able to benefit from this connection.

Tang Mao's wishful thinking was very good.

But he was not familiar with Wei Shi, and he would not succeed in persuading Wei Shi to change his surname. Therefore, when he met Tang Ying this time, he also wanted to use her name as Princess Hongnong to force Wei Shi to submit.

"Persuading Wei Shi to change his surname, Father, are you thinking of this?"

"Although I, Tang Ying, am kind to the prefect of Wei, I am not qualified to persuade him to give up his surname. Do you want to mention this matter again?"

After Tang Ying heard the thoughts of Tang Mao and others, her face turned pale with anger and her slender body trembled slightly.

"Ying'er, you have to remember that you are from the Tang family...?" Tang Mao's face was very dark. His calculation was also for the sake of the Tang family, but unexpectedly, Tang Ying was killed before he even mentioned it to Wei Shi.

I was pushed back.

"Father, my daughter remembers it clearly and knows her identity. In her heart, Princess Hongnong is in front of her and the Tang family is in the back. Therefore, I cannot agree to persuade Wei Shi to change his surname."

"Cousin Wei Shi has just received a letter, mentioning the matter of picking up the cousin's name. Originally, I wanted to ask my father to pick it up for me, but His Majesty and the Queen sent palace officials to inquire about Fang Ling. I will prepare a car to go there now.

Xu Du, please ask your Majesty to give me a calligraphy for my cousin Wei."

Tang Mao looked surprised. He opened his mouth to say something, but finally swallowed it back.
