A thousand-year-old family begins with one fighting against ten thousand.
Chapter 114: The Wei Family Divides
He reported to Emperor Wu of Han the achievements of the Han Dynasty over the past few years.
"If a five-acre homestead is planted with mulberry trees, those who are fifty years old can wear silk. If chickens, pigs, dogs, and swine are raised at the right time, those who are seventy years old can eat meat. If a hundred acres of land is cultivated without delay, a family of several people can be free from hunger. If the education in schools is carefully maintained and the principles of filial piety and brotherly love are emphasized, those with white hair will not have to carry burdens on the roads, and those who are seventy years old will wear silk and eat meat. The common people will not suffer from hunger or cold."
"We have already implemented half of it. A house of 5 acres is almost impossible. The empire's population is growing explosively. However, we have now achieved the goal of everyone having a stone house."
"Every household has one mu of mulberry trees, and each person owns 30 mu of land, growing excellent varieties. The rice varieties that came from Zhuyai Island have gradually lost their market because of their poor taste."
"Only the Grand Minister of Agriculture has done a lot to preserve the seeds."
"Due to the successive victories in the Northern Expedition, a large number of cattle, sheep and horses were acquired."
"And with breakthroughs in pig farming technology, now every household in the world can have two pigs, and one in three households has cattle."
"Each village has an official ox, which the people are allowed to rent at a very low price."
"The development of chicken farming is even more rapid. Every household has a few chickens and can eat eggs every day."
"We've already lived almost half of our lives."
"This is a golden age unlike any other since ancient times."
"Even the legendary golden ages of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties cannot compare to the great Han dynasty of today."
"All of this is thanks to Your Majesty."
Wei Zhong grasped the last desire in Emperor Wu of Han's heart: to create a peaceful and prosperous era, even if it could not be accomplished in his generation, it should be accomplished in the next generation.
This is extremely important, both in historical records and in the evaluation of achievements of becoming the Heavenly Emperor.
If we were to take action against the Wei family at this time, given the Wei family's immense power and deep-rooted influence in the region, it would be extremely difficult.
The existing order of the entire world will fall into chaos, and this prosperous era will collapse.
Countless people will die tragically because of this.
Seeing that Emperor Wu of Han was ready to give up, Wei Zhong quickly added fuel to the fire.
"There is one more thing I humbly request Your Majesty's permission to do."
"My younger brother, Wei Sheng, hopes to establish another lineage outside of the Wei family's Yanhou and Wu'anhou lineages."
"In the land of Yingchuan, the Wei family of Yingchuan was established."
Separation of family property.
The main branch was in charge of the Grand Minister of Agriculture, the Wu'an Marquis branch was in charge of military affairs, and the Yingchuan Wei family branch was in charge of civil administration.
The three companies are each responsible for different things.
Logically speaking, after three generations, they would be three completely different families.
It's even possible that you'll beat yourself and your own brain out.
Just like the Yuan family in history, which produced four generations of high-ranking officials.
Their branch in Yingchuan, the Yuan family of Yingchuan, originated from the same source and were sworn enemies with them.
Heretics sometimes deserve to die more than enemies.
There is also the famous Chen family of Yingchuan.
To put it another way, many of the surnames we have today originated from the Chen surname.
The most famous family at this time was the Sima family. Sima Xiangju, from the pre-Qin period, came from the Chen family and was one of the Ten Philosophers of the Temple of Martial Arts.
Sun Tzu, the military strategist, also descended from the Chen family.
There was also the Tian Chen family, who came from the Chen family, and the one who usurped the throne from the Tian family.
Even Wang Mang, who later overthrew the Western Han Dynasty, was a branch of the Chen family.
Generally speaking, after a family separates, they are no longer considered to be living together with their original family.
Because after several generations, family ties weaken, and it becomes impossible to become a family again.
Emperor Wu of Han did not expect that the ancestors of the Wei family had not died at all.
They are all doing well.
With someone pressing down on it and an evergreen carrot hanging down, it's impossible to separate them completely.
Unless you don't want to live forever after death.
Emperor Wu of Han's eyes still radiated murderous intent; clearly, he felt this was not enough.
Thus, Wei Shou's lineage also split off to take charge of passing on the medical knowledge.
Emperor Wu of Han then let go of the murderous intent in his eyes.
Both sides felt they had won.
After all, this was originally the Wei family's plan.
If everything is concentrated in one place, it becomes too cumbersome.
It would be better to separate them. After all, there's the ancient gourd world hanging there. After separating, each can develop its own field.
Together, we will accumulate good fortune and merit for our ancestors, so as to increase the area of the Wei Family Grotto-Heaven World.
Moreover, this would make it less likely to arouse the emperor's suspicion.
Although they are not afraid of the emperor, being targeted by the emperor would hinder their plan to collect good fortune and merit.
Not worth the candle.
After the family splits up, everyone is happy, and they might even receive compensation from the emperor.
Isn't that wonderful?!
This time, Emperor Wu of Han simply waved his hand and granted Wei Sheng and Wei Shou the title of Marquis of Che.
Wei Shou was enfeoffed as Marquis of Anping, and Wei Sheng as Marquis of Wenxuan.
Their fiefdoms were placed in different locations.
They were also isolated geographically.
After resolving the matter with the Wei family, Emperor Wu of Han summoned Liu Ju alone.
Tell him that the Wei family needs to be both used and guarded against.
And then there's the Wei-Huo Group, whose power is simply too immense.
Before the Crown Prince ascended the throne, things were alright, as there were still limitations, plus the Wei family's checks and balances.
However, the Wei family has now shifted its power to local areas, retaining only a portion of its core strength in the central government.
With this latest demolition, the Wei family's power has been weakened once again.
This made the power of the Wei-Huo Group somewhat of an eyesore.
Emperor Wu of Han ordered Liu Ju to divide the Wei-Huo group into two parts: the Wei family group and the Huo family group.
They overlap in many areas, and there is now a lot of internal competition.
However, under the suppression of Huo Qubing, the Empress, and the Crown Prince, they were in a state of struggle without breaking apart.
Once separated, as military groups, they will inevitably suppress each other for their own interests.
This would eliminate any concerns and prevent it from affecting Liu Ju's throne.
If things really go too far, the Wei family can still clean up the mess.
As long as the Wei family gains the emperor's support, cleaning up the mess will be no problem at all.
However, if the Wei family rebels and loses its righteous cause, as long as Liu Ju unites the forces of the Wei-Huo group together.
With the addition of the Liu clan and the forces in the court loyal to the Han Dynasty, they were able to defeat the Wei family.
After explaining all his arrangements, Emperor Wu of Han ended his illustrious life.
A life far more glorious than the original history.
The Han Dynasty also ushered in a new chapter.
The era of Liu Ju's rule began.
Perhaps by coincidence, Liu Ju was later still referred to as Emperor Zhao of Han.
Like Liu Fuling in history.
To be illustrious is to be praised for one’s merits and virtues; to be illustrious is to be praised for

Virtue and achievements that are widely known are called "illustrious"; intelligence that can perceive subtle signs is also called "illustrious".
Virtue and propriety without transgression are called "Zhao"; lofty character and a virtuous end are called "Zhao".
The phrase "to remain hidden far and wide" is called "to shine brightly within"; the phrase "to possess inner virtue" is also called
This is a beautiful posthumous title.
