"God is lucky to have the Liu family! Everyone in Meng Cai will not give up, and I will pay homage to you!"

As the sun set, a powerful old voice came from Liu Cang's courtyard.

He, the elder of the Sangcun tribe, came and pondered his thoughts all afternoon. When he arrived at Liu Cang's home, he was met by Cai Yong who confessed his identity.

The clan elder is a little confused.

A great god, this is a great god who can greatly improve the overall strength of the Lou Sang Liu family.

This is not a vague description, nor is it as simple as preaching in prose. The scope involved is quite large. While the elders were frightened, all they could think about was how to keep Cai Yong in Sang Village and how to serve him well.

Immediately afterwards, Cai Yong modestly asked the clan elders about their attitude towards Liu Cang and Cai Yan's engagement, and the clan elders shouted at this time.

"Elders, you must not do it!" Cai Yong hurriedly helped the clan elders, but he did not dare to be worshiped.

Cai Yong is less than fifty years old. Although he can be called old, he is almost one round younger than the clan elders.

In the Han Dynasty, there was no respect for the elderly, and there was no clear superior-subordinate relationship between the two. In normal times, the elder's behavior could really be regarded as a disgrace to Cai Yong.

The average life span in the Eastern Han Dynasty was not high, but there were not many people who lived long lives. The reason for this contradictory situation is that the rate of premature death among children today is too high.

Women's childbirth is considered a hurdle, especially for the mothers themselves. However, this hurdle is mostly among the people. It is not that the folk births are any worse than those of the upper class, but that there are many young women in the folk who have not yet married off.

The physique of women in the Eastern Han Dynasty was much stronger than that of modern times, and most of them gave birth standing up. As long as they were of the right age, the problem usually wasn't too big.

Children born before the age of ten are prone to wind evil, that is, they will contract diseases and die. However, as long as they survive a relatively unstable childhood, there will usually be no shortcomings in life expectancy.

As for those who died young and early, they were less likely to be weak when they were young, more likely to suffer from exhaustion and illness, or they may have eaten what they should and shouldn't have eaten, and developed something wrong with their eating.

The wine and meat were on the table, the meat was fragrant and the wine was turbid. It was a sumptuous dinner that could be considered a feast, but the clan elder had completely ignored the stewed old chicken.

"Daheng is blessed, the Liu family is blessed."

"Don't worry, Mr. Cai. I, Mrs. Liu, Lou Sang, will make the engagement ceremony go smoothly, and I won't let the young lady suffer any injustice." Patting his chest, the clan elder couldn't help but look at Cai Yan at the table. Why?

See how happy you are.

Liu Cang was very willful about his own affairs, and the villagers in this family were usually not very particular about it. The youngest daughter of the Jiao family turned into Miss Cai, and the elder almost broke out in laughter.

Cai Yan was precociously intelligent, but this precociousness was not considered precocious, which was also a headache for Cai Yong.

It sounds like you know everything when you talk about it, but when you talk about it in detail, you are ignorant of many key points, and it is easy to cause some ridiculous things.

When it came to getting engaged to Liu Cang, Cai Yan was still shy at first. But it had only been one afternoon, and now that the clan elders had joined in to talk about this topic, the little girl was already unpretentiously happy.

Once you are engaged to the Liu family, you can live with Liu Cang forever.

Well, that's what little Cai Yan thinks. The word "engagement" should be shy, but if the shyness is over, you can be happy.

Facing a daughter who lacked restraint, Cai Yong, who usually let himself go and didn't care much about his daughter, felt somewhat helpless.

"Don't panic, clan elder. This matter is not suitable for the time being. Yong is hated by others, so don't bring trouble to the Liu family again." The clan elder was excited to discuss the engagement process with Cai Yong. Cai Yong respected the clan clan elder.

A bowl of turbid wine and a voice of advice.

"The thieves are really despicable. Don't worry, Cai. We, Lou Sang Liu Clan, have over a hundred young men, all of whom are men who can go into battle to kill the enemy." The clan elder took a swig and put the wine bowl on the table with a bang, and reprimanded him angrily.

Meaning.

There was little information control in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there was never a shortage of traveling merchants who traveled far beyond the Great Wall. Not to mention Cai Yong's deeds, trivial matters in the court and in the court could be spread throughout the Han Dynasty in ten and a half months. If someone deliberately spread it again, the speed of spread would be called

Soon.

Da Ru should be regarded as a star in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Well, the kind of popular star. So even if the details of Cai Yong's situation are unknown, the clan elders know about it.

"The Cai family will live in peace in Lousang. I, the Liu family of Lousang, will not let the Cai family hide their names." The clan elder looked at Liu Cang while being bold.

"Daheng, you are familiar with the son of the Zhang family in that county. Tomorrow you will go to the Zhang family to inquire. We in Sang Village want to purchase iron stones to make weapons. If any evil person dares to come to my Lou Sang to make trouble, he will never come back.

, there is no life or death!" The elder of the clan has the air of a general, and his confidence is getting stronger and stronger.

"..." Liu Cang was silent. Sure enough, he knew this would happen. The old guy pressed forward shrewdly.

To put it simply, the clan elders should arm the whole clan and turn the people into soldiers. They should defend the Confucian scholars of the Han Dynasty with local bravery.

Well, there's nothing wrong with it. Under normal circumstances, Liu Yu wouldn't be able to make a snitch.

"Clan elder, wait a minute, let Haoxuan explain to you in detail." Cai Yong smiled bitterly and shook his head. His objection was obvious, and the clan elder frowned slightly.

Well, this kind of situation of taking advantage of the situation and turning into troops is fine under normal circumstances.

The Eastern Han Dynasty did have clear restrictions on local private soldiers, and the folk customs of the Han Dynasty were fierce, especially in the north close to the border. A killing weapon could complete the transformation between farmers and soldiers.

Therefore, weapons are now under relatively strict control among the people, and the grassroots level of control is through clan elders, village elders, country elders and the like.

The Han people are group-oriented and xenophobic, and they tend to be aggressive and good at fighting.

Yes, the Han people have never been honest and kind-hearted people. From a global perspective, the Han people are definitely outstanding in their aggressiveness and good fighting spirit.

Aggression is engraved in the genetic marrow of the Han people, but later generations have erased the Han people's goodwill and distorted their aggressive temperament, which makes it a bit nonsense.

Well, these are unintentional, so don’t mention them.

However, it is said that during the Han Dynasty, Han people were good at fighting in groups. This grouping was divided into levels. People of the same clan and village excluded outsiders, but at the county level, different villages and tribes could form groups and exclude outsiders.

The next promotion is to the prefectures and counties, and then to the south and north. Finally, when facing the enemy beyond the wall, the people in the north and south can hold their arms and fight against them together.

But back to the topic, grassroots cadres like clan elders must have the clan’s homeland as their top priority.

Who doesn't want their homeland to have strong soldiers and horses? The people of the Han Dynasty were not willing to trust their homeland to others just by saying a few nice words.

If the state wants to control it, that's no problem, but Chinese people's relationship science is a very wonderful thing.

Civilian places restrict private soldiers. Even if you are a local wealthy person, if you violate taboos, you will still have your head taken off.

But there was one special situation, and the emperor could not issue arbitrary bans, and that was - righteousness.

It's not the kind of righteousness that is exaggerated in martial arts novels.

Those who are respected by others should be protected, those who are proud of the country should be protected, and those who are pragmatic for the people should be protected.

This is a great righteousness and should be respected by the world.
