Shuoquan City has been through war and once was silent all over the city, but people's hands can always create miracles. Although the people of Xiliang have withdrawn for more than half a year, Shuoquan City has recovered a little bit of vitality, and all walks of life in the city are quickly returning to their former vitality. Although various supplies are in short supply, people can no longer buy everything they need as they did before. However, early in the morning, people still gather in the market. There is a shortage of food, and oil and sauce, and the price of rice, grain, oil and salt is not only very high, but also limited supply. The food supplies that were available all day long are only available for a while in the morning. If it comes late, they can only return empty-handed.

The price of goods is high, and the government cannot forcefully suppress it for a while. After all, things are rare and goods are in short supply. In addition, the goods transported from other places are no longer as convenient as before. Not to mention that there are large and small counter-gangs in Xiguan, they often plunder goods on the way, but only said that they fought with the Xiliang army and attacked and defended. In order to resist the rapid advance of Xiliang, the Qin army destroyed all the roads along the way. It was easy to destroy the main roads of the checkpoints. To restore it, it not only took a lot of money, but also a lot of time.

Xiguan has not been short of time to recover now, but what is lacking is silver and money, so it is not easy to find several broad and smooth roads in Xiguan, especially many destroyed levels, broken corpses and ruins, showing the decay after the war. In the past, the roads were charged, and as long as you get some silver, they could be unobstructed. Although the levels were destroyed, there was no need to pay the toll for the time being, but the roads were blocked and some river bridges were destroyed, the cargo transport team could only take a detour. The roads that could be reached in one day before, but now it even took two or three days to reach, and there were also concerns about bandits who were in ghosts.

If the goods in Xiguan could not be sold at high prices now, there would be a lot of profit margins, otherwise there would not be many merchants willing to come over such a steep road.

The seven surnames of Xiguan have now begun to embark on the road of rejuvenation. They paid a great price from the pass, obtained a large amount of grain, saved their own land, and hired long-term workers to grow grain, and the centipede worms died without being stiff. Although the seven surnames of Xiguan suffered heavy damage, they were deeply rooted after all, with a big family and a big business, and the land was preserved. The shops and real estate were still there, and the connections were wide, and the lean camels were bigger than horses. The statements of the seven surnames of Xiguan were still outside, so it was not difficult to engage in commercial cooperation with the wealthy merchants in the pass.

The seven surnames of Xiguan were originally representatives of the Xiguan gentry. Before the war, they had trade with the wealthy merchants in the pass. Merchants from all over the world rarely intervened directly into the local business circle when doing business. They often cooperated with each other. Just like the gentry of Xiguan transported the special goods from the northwest to the pass and handed them over to the wealthy merchants in the pass for sale, and then both parties distributed profits and dividends. By the same token, merchants in the pass could not directly enter the shopping malls in the northwest, and their goods also needed to be digested through the local gentry in the northwest.

The revival of Xiguan after the war was a long way to go for the officials and civilians in Xiguan, but it was difficult to go ahead, but for many merchants in the pass, it may not be a bad thing. They knew very well that during this period, many goods could be sold at high prices in Xiguan and had extremely high profits. They could not enter the Xiguan shopping mall by themselves, but they could sell goods through local gentry. The seven surnames of Xiguan can of course also clearly understand the common interests of both sides. Merchants in the pass need to use the Xiguan gentry to make greater profits, and the Xiguan gentry also needs to restore their control of the Northwest trade through the support of the wealthy merchants in the pass. This is beneficial to both sides, and the cooperation between the two sides is natural.

The Su family is the head of the seven surnames of Xiguan, and all parties have returned in a row. Although Mr. Su is old, he naturally cannot hide beside and enjoys the blessings at this time. He is the highest-ranking elder of the Su family now and the head of the Su family. The old man Su and his brothers are four, three have left, but they have left many descendants. Linlang is only one of them. His father ranks fourth among his peers, and he is the same as the seventh son of the Su family. Su Zhongyan has more than 20 descendants in this generation. He has given birth to many descendants. Linlang and Su Zhongyan

The son Su Zhen's generation is a sibling of 50 or 60. The Su family's men, women, and young and old are the same as hundreds of people. The children of the Su family marry off the offspring of other gentry and business partners. In this way, a huge family has a huge economic foundation, but also has no fewer officials in the family. Such a family has both business and official positions, and naturally it has become a deeply rooted large family.

Each of the seven surnames in Xiguan has such strength. They are representatives of the Xiguan gentry and are also bridges between the government and the people. If such a bridge is broken, it will actually have no benefit to the people. Therefore, the government has never lacked full support. If the government does not receive full support, then the adults in the government will not be able to sit firmly on the chairs under their butts.

When the old man was alive, he almost saw the Sioux suffer a catastrophe. Now he finally had the opportunity to revive his family. Of course, the old man could not take it lightly.

After the old man returned to Xiguan, he first carried out some rectification of the tribe. After the disaster, the old man knew that many things in the family could no longer be as they were before. The tribe had a large population and huge wealth. In the past, there were inevitably open and secret struggles between all parties and households. Many key positions were not to choose the most suitable person to serve as the head, but to choose status and personal likes and dislikes. Many talented children and unpopular children were not valued, but to eat, drink, play and talk.

The middle-aged children received many important responsibilities. The old man knew that he could never do that anymore, so he made a big rectification. As long as the Soviets, no matter whether they were born in the legitimate family, they were born in the illegitimate family and were used to measure their talents, those young men in the clan who were ignorant of their skills and only knew how to spend money on the world were forced to enter the clan school by the old man. It was also stipulated that if they could not pass the review of the Presbyterian Church organized by the clan, they could only continue to study in the clan school, without giving any responsibilities, and the moon silver would be pitifully low.

Although many people complain about this, it made many of the tribe who were once suppressed happy. Although the Su family is still at a low point, the morale of the tribe is already very high under the rectification of the old master. The Presbyterian Church organized by the old master specifically evaluates and uses the children of the tribe and uses them according to their aptitude, which makes the Su family full of vitality.

The old man understood one thing: external destruction is not the most terrifying. As long as the spark is preserved, it can still make a comeback. However, once the tribe becomes corrupt and is disconnected from the top and bottom, such a family will easily break from the inside and eventually decline. Now the foreign gentry is eyeing it and want to swallow up the local gentry in a weak state. Of course, the old man does not allow such a thing to happen. As a full representative of the local area, the Sioux must shoulder the important task of leading the Xiguan gentry and set an example.

Other clans were obviously influenced by the Si people and were all rectifying the tribes. Although the intensity of the rectification was large and small, the cohesion was greatly strengthened in this dilemma.

As soon as the sky was dawn, the old man had already gotten up and after washing, he was about to go to the clan's meeting hall.

Now at an extraordinary time, the Si people are in charge of their affairs, and whether it is farming or commerce, there are many things that need to be busy. The old master will listen to reports from the officials of the clan in the clan every three days. Dozens of officials in the clan also arrive at the meeting hall at the Yin hour, waiting for the old master's teachings.

After the old man sat down, he met more than a dozen officials in a row. Everyone knew that the old man was limited in energy and health was important, so he would report the matter within three days in the simplest words. If the old man nodded, the officials could step down. If the old man found a problem, he would also correct it.

Seeing more than a dozen people, the old man was a little tired and took a short rest. At this time, he heard the sound of rapid footsteps. Then Su Zhongyan had already come in from outside the door. The old man frowned. Although Su Zhongyan was his biological son and one of the main officials, he had not passed the message from him and came in without permission, but he violated the family rules and was about to scold him. Su Zhongyan obviously knew that the old man was going to get angry and had already kneeled down and said, "Father, it was my son's fault that his son took the liberty to break in. But there is something that he has to report to his father!"

Seeing Su Zhongyan's expression was serious, the old man frowned and frowned and said, "What's wrong? Why are you so panicked?"

Su Zhongyan hurriedly said, "When Lao Yi came here early in the morning, he met a group of people..."

"Collimited a group of people?" The old man didn't understand for a moment, "Who? What's the fuss about it!"

Su Zhongyan glanced at the old man and said, "Yes... it's Fairy Ma... and not only Fairy Ma, but also several old men were among them. Eleventh Old Man said that he also saw Zhu Qingye inside!"

"Zhu Qingye?" The old man frowned, "Why are Zhu Qingye and Fairy Ma together?" He raised his hand and said, "You let Lao Eleven come here."

When Su Zhongyan went out, a middle-aged man came in. This was Su Zhongyan's cousin, named Zhongkui. When he entered the house, he immediately knelt down and said, "Old Master, when he came here in the morning, he passed by the temple and saw Ma Xiangu out of the temple. There were hundreds of people gathered there, and there were also people gathered there. Several old men were also inside. Zhu Qingye and his men were also mixed in...!"

The old man narrowed his eyes, pondered slightly, and quickly said: "It is definitely not a good thing for these people to get together. Eleventh, have you asked them what they want to do?"

Su Zhongkui said: "My nephew also wanted to go over and ask, but before he got close, he was seen by Zhu Qingye. He asked someone to come forward to stop his nephew, and said that if his nephew approached, he would chop off one of his arms...!"

The old man sneered: "When will Zhu Qingye become so arrogant?"
