Chapter 1257 Chapter 26.02 Changes in the Territory

In the sci-fi style "mourning hall" of the Li family, all the biological tissues of the ancestors are still connected to the chips in the petri dishes, and then the petri dishes are hung with memorial tablets.

These tablets store the spirits of ancestors, and in a physical sense "the ancestors have spirits".

There is a mind power system on the biochemical plane. With the activity of neurons, the magnetic energy of the protein carrier will be stimulated.The ancestors in the Li family's tanks now in the culture tanks are still such "living" people.

Of course, this is based on the existence of orderly thinking activities in the brain organization.At this time, there were no signs of telepathy fluctuations in the oldest tanks of the Li family. Just like a burned out flame, only a few embers remained. The filial sons and grandsons of the Li family tried their best to maintain the weak traces of their ancestors.

In the petri dish closest to Wei Keng, this petri dish has not yet been marked, which means that the person in the petri dish can still move. He is the ancestor of the Li family who received the title 60 years ago.

At this time, wisps of his mental energy tentacles radiated out from the small holes in the glass life-saving cabin.

After this mental power came out, it shocked Li Gui from head to toe!

In this situation, Wei Keng was respectful.

The great ancestor of the Li family said in a purely oppressive voice: "Coming from the outer branch, it's very good."

This "electronic sound" appeared in the open space of the mourning hall, which reminded Wei Keng that he was worshiping his ancestors, and he felt very cybernetic.

When Wei Keng heard the ancestor of the Li family boasting about this status, he complained: "Haha, what you think in your heart is not "not bad", but that you really dislike my status as a foreign branch.

At that time, Li Gui's mother was very speculative. Later, she ruined the family tradition and made Li Gaozu very angry, so he hated his family.He is not optimistic about Li Gyu at the moment.

Indeed, as Wei Keng expected, the reason for appearing kind was to cover up his subsequent "irregular" operations.

After the feudal patriarch could not find fault with Li Gui's attitude, he wanted to give Li Gui a "training" opportunity.A map of family territory unfolds on the moon's surface.

After Wei Keng saw the lack of Jin Shaoliang on the map, he acted calmly: "It is necessary to be filial to your elders. Even if your elders are wrong, you can't contradict them in person, otherwise it will be very harmful to yourself. I am still young and reckless, so I can't do it." value"…

Four hours later, Wei Keng withdrew from the mourning hall.The expression on his face was very calm.

There was a little "reluctance" in his expression because he suddenly remembered that he needed to act: show the impatience of young people and not be too calm to make others suspect that he has a trump card.

The Li family allocated six city-states to themselves, which just reached the viscount's share of territory, and less than five was a baron.But in reality, the upper limit is ten territories.And these territories are still located in the abandoned urban areas after the demon spirit rebellion.

The reason why the Li family has such a low score.That was to prepare him to marry into a count's family. Of course, he, as a married woman, would not be able to fill the entire territory.

As for the problem that the original territory within the family is not enough to inherit?As soon as this idea came to mind, Wei Keng rejected it.

Wei Keng: If I think "for the family" in this way, I fall into a misunderstanding.

Memorandum of Dimensional Difficulty: When thinking for others, it is always easy to think of others as "reasonable", and always unconsciously think, "I am like this, they should be able to understand it." ——This is a misunderstanding caused by kind-hearted people when they think about the official.

The current Li family is not thinking about the question of "whether there are enough people in the territory" to inherit, but thinking about going further.

The Li family now has an outstanding hero, Li Hongxiang, who is currently serving in the Earth Expeditionary Force.It is already the second level of "God Refining".It is the hope of the whole family!

In this current era, the realms of martial arts in the solar system are divided very simply into three realms: "Qi training", "Shen refining" and "Void realm".

There are no complicated small realms in the middle. This is because this is the era of science and technology. The variables that technological weapons can increase are too great. The small realms in the middle are meaningless. Only the big realm can have significant advantages.

For example, you worshiped Huo Yuanjia as your teacher and practiced hard for 20 years. Your legs and feet are better than me in various small realms. I eat meat to gain weight and practice wrist strength. I have practiced spear fighting for three months. During a duel, I am within five meters of you. Draw your gun fast and hard, what's the use of your small level?

Coming back to the topic, for the ancestors of the Li family, this Li Hongxiang is expected to bring the family to a higher level.The family now devotes resources to its focus.

How to focus resources?Li Hongxiang's current partner, Beixiansu, belongs to the Marquis family, which is the family that Li Gui is marrying into.

In this way, for the Li family, the ancestor of the Li family was very "generous and open-minded" to Li Gui.

The ancestor of the Li family ignored the past grudges and gave six pieces of territory to Li Gui, a guy who was destined to visit other people's homes. It was really a generous act of the family! ——In the eyes of the Li family, a man who works as a son-in-law in someone else's house is not worthy of inheriting the territory.

Narrator, in the calculation of the ancestor of the Li family: As long as Li Hongxiang takes off and bribes the Bei family's territory through marriage, he can come back.

As for Li Gui, who was forced to go out for marriage, he obviously worked hard to win the inheritance rights, but he could only receive six territories and live under the shelter of other families. He did not get the sympathy of other peers in the family.

Because Li Gyu's situation is difficult to resonate with other people in the family, but he suddenly jumped up and suffered more jealousy. He is a concubine, belongs to an outside branch of the family, and is not close to the family.Any arrangement made by the family is like "thunder and rain" and must be tolerated.

Of course, in history: when men do great things, they often have nothing first, and then get rid of many constraints.Then move forward boldly…

Wei Keng encountered unfair arrangements in the ancestral hall, but Wei Keng accepted it calmly because he never thought of a "dream start" in the first place.

Mr. Wei comforted himself and said: With this status, doesn’t it mean that I am missing two territories?The future is very precious, and worrying about such things is a waste of time.

"Energy" is very valuable.The best way to limit a person's achievements is to hold back a person's "energy" so that he or she has to devote his energy to fighting for a "bad goal."

There is a special thesis research in this main world, which is "the correlation between the development of the ancient industrial era and the burden of the people."

Among them, there is a special data to demonstrate the reason why "Gan" lagged behind the whole country in the ancient industrial era, which is linked to the relationship of "the cost of love that is several times the income of local men" in this region.

Research shows that in the ancient industrial era, men were still engaged in basic development industries such as "industry and technology". When the energy in their 20s and 30s was used to calculate the "trivial matters" of this period of life out of thin air, their contribution to society would be The energy invested will inevitably decrease.

Wei Keng: "Don't think about the harem or inheritance when traveling through time. Women and inheritance will affect my ambitions!"

As for the family's favoring one over the other, Wei Keng now has a different idea: The world is in chaos right now, and the arrangements others have made for you are all illusory. Only by defeating them yourself can they be realistic. There are people who are better than others, so he can follow behind and fish in troubled waters. .

In the 2814th year of Qin Tongli, Wei Keng went to the territory with great interest.

How should I put it, although the number of territories has dropped from ten to six, the territory configuration is still complete.

Five of the cities are located in annular pits. The outer shell is protected by a thick silica protective cover, and the light is filtered. Ultraviolet energy is used for photovoltaic power generation, and the light from the rows of annular pits in the pit is accumulated in here.

Out of the face of the family, Li Gui's territory is definitely not the territory of the pauper.But the question is, is this really his territory?

On the first day after arriving at the territory, Wei Keng reacted: I may have had an illusion, that is, the family seemed not to hand over the territory to me from the beginning, but wanted to pass it to the Bei family who was going to marry me...

On the second day after arriving in the territory, Wei Keng inspected the vacuum pipeline material hub station, highly appreciated everyone's work, and sent a telegram to ask the staff there to report on their work.

However, it was this regulatory process that was in line with the system that made Wei Keng discover that his orders did not go directly to the subordinates, but were received by staff officials one by one, and then reported to the subordinates in crude messages.

Behind the irregularity and undiscipline of these staff is that some people in the Li family want to go beyond the rules and ignore the lord.

When encountering this kind of thing, you have to calm down and learn from Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, who slowly dealt with the old ministers of the previous dynasty bit by bit after standing up for his reputation. You can't learn from the king of Changyi, who got irritable when he got up, thinking that he represented the rules and disturbed everyone. The cake of the established power.

Wei Keng whispered: "In innovative industries, strict performance appraisal is a sign of decline, but in a serious and stable bureaucracy, strict discipline is a must. Here, we need to maintain top-down execution."

Wei Keng frowned at the operations in these territories that did not abide by basic rules and regulations.I felt dissatisfied.

Wei Keng: "This is the feudal era. In name, I am the lord and my vassal, not a higher-level vassal. But in fact, the Li family was forced to enfeoff due to the order to surrender. In actual operation, they sent Various clan cronies have infiltrated into the territories that have been sealed off and controlled them remotely."

Wei Keng clearly realized that he was only a nominal lord at present.All personnel were not promoted by themselves, but were promoted by the old family leader.

If you don't have a proper reason, you can't touch these old people.

In response to this situation, Wei Keng returned to the central administrative center of his territory and hibernated first.

Wei Keng believes that he can win, because no matter how large an organization is, without clear laws and regulations to restrain the lower levels, it is only a matter of time before the lower levels of authority make mistakes.

Li Gui, who had just arrived at the territory, did not burn three fires in a hurry.

Because the whole house is full of all kinds of "leads", if you rashly set it on fire and clean it up, you may not be able to surprise yourself.

And Li Gui's low profile also made the stewards sent by the families in the fiefdoms on the moon very proud. They believed that the territory of each city was still theirs, and they still began to make money in various industries in the residential area without following the rules.

However, these people's perspectives were all focused on the small amount of money in their own city. Unexpectedly, their young lord was a veteran who "read the Spring and Autumn Period".

Wei Keng: "The king of Chuzhuang has been without wings for three years, has not flown, has not crowded, and has been silent."

Within three months of his first arrival in the territory, Wei Keng was quietly mastering various "industrial and agricultural" data issues in the entire territory, and began to identify replaceable manpower for each position.

"As a puppet emperor, as long as we maintain differentiation and balance among the powerful ministers, we can kill whoever we condone!" "." Wei Keng had some thoughts after reading the biography of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty!

Five months later, Wei Keng soon received an indulgent surprise.

It is said that in the fourth urban area of ​​Tianmu Crater among the six territories, the local retainer Li Zhao and others seemed to be very proud of Wei Keng's coming to the territory and silently obeying their management.And what pride brings is very rampant.

Wei Keng gave in and allowed them to claim to be the masters of the Tianmu Crater, thinking that they were only responsible for the ancestors of the Li family.

At the beginning, Li Zhao was still respectful to Wei Keng on the surface every day, but secretly gathered the crowd to ridicule: "It's the little maid, who passed the inheritance assessment by luck, and came to our territory. You are so stupid, listen to our arrangements." .” But then I felt that “secretly” was too low.

One day at a social reception, the crowd said: "So, let me just say, the heaven of this family is still the heaven of our ancestors. We, the grandchildren of our ancestors occupy the circle, and outsiders are not entitled to come in." This sentence is He gradually became drunk and uttered arrogant words.

This is good: the reason for the remote control of the territory by the ancestor of the Li family is to ensure the face of the family's future marriage with the Bei family and to prevent Li Gui, an outside branch, from indiscriminately operating the territory after inheriting the territory and causing disorder in the territory.Therefore, let the retainers here continue to assist the government and help the overall situation.

But who would have known that these retainers lost the direct control of the Li family clan, and Wei Keng maliciously stopped and indulged them, which led to this group of people being extremely arrogant.

You must know that the Li family can only keep Li Gui stuck on the viscount line. The collapse of any territory will leave Li Gui with only five territories, so he will be demoted by the federation.And the unusual demotion was a scandal in the circle of lunar nobles.

The uncles of the Li family sent a large number of "trustworthy" people to look after the territory for Wei Keng.

However, according to the feudal group's ability to supervise the subordinates, how credible can the so-called "credibility" of the superiors be?

Wei Keng shook his head and said: It's not a game general system, you can directly see the ability values.

Even Zhuge Liang would have misjudged Ma Su, and in later generations, many Tuogu ministers, sitting under the feudal system, could not be too confident in the personnel system below.

Within five months, Wei Keng's notebook recorded all kinds of violations of laws and disciplines committed by the officials sent by the family. However, everything cannot be killed at once, so he still did not mention it.

Because if it is just a "small mistake", the family will send someone to reprimand him and order him to reflect on his place.Then if you don't kill the snake, you will be harmed by it.

Ever since, Wei Keng was waiting for "the sin cannot be forgiven"!

...Wei Keng muttered: When did I learn palace fighting? …

On November 2814, 11, in just three months, Li Zhao and others were extremely inflated.

When these retainers saw Wei Keng searching for information every day, meeting capable people at the middle and lower levels in various cities, and asking about the positions of personnel in various positions, they looked like they were "buying people's hearts."

These retainers became dissatisfied, thinking that this was Li Gui's attempt to discredit himself in the family.So he was ready to teach Li Gui a lesson.Intimidate Li Gui and make him stay calm and dare not go out.

So, on the 11th, when Wei Keng rode a water-drop glass-covered lunar exploration vehicle to inspect resources on the territory, he encountered a sneak attack by cave bandits on the moon. The gangsters rode six lunar tractor-type vehicles and tried to Come and attack Wei Keng.

When Wei Keng was passing by a crater, the electronically controlled mine controlled by the remote control exploded. Under a large amount of smoke and dust, countless gravels shot Wei Keng's car without any resistance.

600 meters away, Wei Keng, who controlled the invisible vehicle, watched the "projection target" he created being swept away and disappeared, and sighed: "I have been squatting on others, but now it is others who are squatting on me."

However, when the attack began, Wei Keng was already wearing the special interstellar combat armor used on the moon. This was a set of slender armor that was many times more upscale than the bloated plastic-shell spacesuits worn by the ambushers.

And just looking at the body shape, it seems that this spacesuit with an oxygen cabin on its back is much heavier.

In fact, the first-generation spacesuits of the people arranged by the family retainers to ambush only weighed 120 kilograms. On the contrary, the elite team like Wei Keng had armors weighing [-] kilograms.

Wei Keng reversely ambushed these people who dared to set a trap for him.

These people are more than 90 "abandoned people" living in abandoned urban areas.

Wei Keng controlled the power of telekinesis, oh, it can also be said to be "Gang Qi", to suspend them all in mid-air. When these criminals were floating in the air and struggling without any points of strength, Wei Keng's accompanying guards gave them mechanical locks. Put them on one by one.

At this time, the electromagnetic energy of the "Gang Qi" had just been exhausted, and it recharged into Wei Keng's battle armor.

Wei Keng looked at these abandoned people who were more or less genetically mutilated, with buck teeth and white eyes, and was about to say something to persuade them to surrender.

However, these abandoned people, surrounded by Wei Keng's mechanical infantry with guns in hand, knelt down on the spot without any suspense.

Wei Keng was a little stunned. Looking at these kneeling people, he sighed and talked to himself.From the perspective of those who ambushed him, he defended: "Yes, they are all just trying to survive. There is nothing worth insisting on not kneeling."

As the saying goes, "The punishment is not as good as that of an official, and the courtesy is not as good as that of an ordinary man." Wei Keng now understands that "a scholar-official holds a public instrument with one hand, must have ideals and beliefs, and his level is so high that the threat of criminal law cannot reach it. But as for an ordinary man, Because they have never been respected and their own survival has not been valued, we cannot use moral etiquette to restrain them."

Therefore, when seeing these marginalized people "kneel down" in the face of power, Wei Keng remained silent without any disdain.

Wei Keng looked at these ugly people with damaged genes and said with emotion: If you want ordinary people to persevere, you must first give them basic respect.

Wei Keng looked at the abandoned ringed mountain cities where these abandoned people came.

Those cities were destroyed by the demonic rebellion 60 years ago.Most areas are filled with spores and fungi.These abandoned people rely on a small number of ecological warehouses to survive.

Perhaps to obtain water, or for other reasons, they were bribed to come here to attack him. Naturally, Wei Keng would not care about these desperate people who were used as gunmen.

Since the abandoned people needed to exchange rewards after completing the mission, Wei Keng caught the person sent by the retainers in his territory half an hour later at the place where the interrogation came out.

Wei Keng looked at the ashen-faced retainer and smiled. This was a great achievement.

...the "patriarchal" system, those who are familiar with it will deceive the subordinates and conceal the superiors...

At the Li family's mourning hall, a message was sent from Li Gui, which contained evidence that many people had embezzled and embezzled city resources.

Wei Keng checked it very carefully and filled all the vacant positions with people who could be arranged.

As for dealing with those who rebelled, Wei Keng eliminated the culprits.The rest are ready to be distributed to the family.

Of course, Li Zhao has not been executed yet, but he has just informed the family to save his face.

In the mourning hall, after seeing these images and the rapid decay and collapse of Li Zhao and others in the past two months, Earl Li shouted "Okay" three times.

The energy emanating from the training tank was like a tsunami, rushing four or five family guards dozens of meters away against the wall.

This kind of venting is angry at the incompetence of "Li Zhao and others" who are not very useful and are arrogant and conceited once they are out of sight.On the other hand, he was wary of Li Gyu being so "scheming".

First impressions are important.The ancestor of the Li family's first impression of Li Gui came from his mother.Then no matter what Wei Keng does, he will not get good reviews.

Li Gyu is incompetent.You will get the evaluation of "not from the Li family". If you have the ability to master it, you will get the evaluation of "bad intentions".

This kind of paternalistic "free decision" is a characteristic of feudal culture.A large feudal family would give freedom to the central legitimate sons and ethics to the peripheral ones.

The Li family ignored the "major attack", but Wei Keng, a cunning man, would not wait to "teach himself how to do things."

~~

57 kilometers away, at the criminal stage in the center of the enfeoffed territory, Wei Keng looked at Li Zhao and said, "Hey, your mistake is that you don't take the rules as rules."

Li Zhao, who knew that he was doomed, yelled at Wei Keng, "You little maidservant, your mother xxx!" Such obscene words, dying raves, made someone in the outer hidden warehouse frown.

Wei Keng smiled. Anyway, these are all recorded on video. Every sentence he scolded was a protective color for Li Gui.

Wei Keng raised the needle and injected him with the medicine.Li Zhao fainted quickly.

This is not a death injection, but an anesthetic.

And Li Hengxin walked out of the hiding spot. He was another heir to the title in the family, Li Gui's brother, and he was also in the same room as Li Zhao.When he came to beg Wei Keng, Wei Keng sold him a favor and made his own request: "The execution will still have to be executed, but people can fake death, but they must change their identities after plastic surgery."

Li Hengxin had naturally agreed to such a request before.

But when Li Hengxin looked at Li Zhao like this, he regretted it. Is such a person really worth saving?Wouldn't keeping it create new disasters?

He is also a lord and has the values ​​​​of a lord. If a subordinate rebels and is not punished, there are no rules, and subversion will occur.

Historical dynasties have governed the world with loyalty, filial piety and trustworthiness, which means that when some people act wantonly, they can use rules to suppress them.

Therefore, when the imperial power of most Eastern dynasties was weakening, due to the public opinion of "loyalty and filial piety" set in the early stage, the powerful ministers had to be more or less "loyal and righteous" and had some concerns.

The Sima family ignored the three items of "loyalty, filial piety and trustworthiness", and was told that "Fuwei Holy Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety" through the ages.

Of course, it was impossible for Li Hengxin to completely deny the clan rules just because Li Zhao was his clan brother.

But now after the execution, he came out to pick up people and was embarrassed to face Wei Keng.

The brother of the viscount deliberately avoided Li Zhao's dying words of truth, and thanked Li Gui.

Just after Li Hengxin quietly picked up Li Zhao.

The executioner at the side asked Wei Keng, "My lord, you are too merciful."

Wei Keng looked at the guard who was in high position in the incident and said leisurely: "When bad things are uncertain, the dead are more useful than the living. When the bad things are certain, the living are more useful than the dead."

Explanation: When the bad thing is uncertain, and the key suspect dies, there will be no evidence to prove the death, and the people involved will no longer be able to prove their innocence.But when bad things have clearly targeted certain people, their survival is a loophole.
