He Tiantian thought for a moment, then shook her head slightly.
She knew that Mrs. Hou's willingness to hand over these people to her was a sign of her trust and the final recognition of the identity of "Yu Li".
However, He Tiantian will not accept it easily.
The reasons are all ready-
"Auntie, you don't know something! This time we four brothers went to the attached city, it was not just a 'sad plan', it was more of a gamble!"
Mrs. Hou was willing to trust her, and He Tiantian was happy to tell the truth.
She directly told her bet with Yu Che and others, "We will use the attached city as a chessboard, each of us will divide a piece of land, and then build according to our own plan!"
"Whoever can manage the territory the best, at least to the level of Wuzhen, will win!"
"Others will surrender to him and follow him!"
This person will also become the future head of the Yu family.
He Tiantian didn't say the last sentence, but her meaning was already expressed very clearly.
Mrs. Hou's eyes suddenly lit up.
She grabbed He Tiantian's hand and said, "Jiulang, you, everything you said is true?"
"Also, you proposed this bet?"
He Tiantian smiled and nodded, "That's right!"
Mrs. Hou suddenly smiled with crooked eyebrows, "I know it! I know it! My Yang Jinhua's son cannot be a fool who is 'indifferent to the world' and 'has no desires and no demands'!"
On the road before, Mrs. Hou saw He Tiantian teaching martial arts to her cousins without reservation, and also discussing military affairs with Yu Er and the others.
He looks like he is dedicated to the public and has no selfish motives.
Mrs. Hou is so anxious.
Everyone in the world cherishes their broomsticks, and even the disciples do not forget to save a piece of it.
It's better for his own Kuro, he teaches everything and doesn't even think about the fact that some people are very likely to be "his" competitors!
I thought that my Jiulang had no interest in the Yu family, let alone any ambitions.
Mrs. Hou often nagged in her son's ears, and instilled in him the idea of "primogeniture inheritance" every day.
Fortunately, fortunately, when she heard her son's words, Mrs. Hou finally knew that her teachings had worked.
The son no longer has the air of a small family, but begins to act like a qualified eldest son of an aristocratic family, knowing how to compete and take back his own property!
While Mrs. Hou was happy, she felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.
"Great! Haha, great 1"
Mrs. Hou was so excited that if her good upbringing hadn't allowed her to control her emotions, she would have wanted to hold her hands and laugh.
Seeing Mrs. Hou's appearance, He Tiantian pursed her lips and continued, "Since it is a gambling game, it must be fair and just."
He Tiantian spread her hands and continued what she just said, saying: "So, grandma, I can't cheat!"
The two hundred parts should be left to Mrs. Hou.
After hearing what He Tiantian said, Mrs. Hou's smile became even brighter, "My son, don't worry, I bet you, not only you, but others will also 'cheat'."
"No, to be precise, this is not called cheating. If it must be fair and just, this bet should not exist. After all, you are the youngest."
"Also, Yu Che and the others have all been on the battlefield, and they also have soldiers and guards around them. But you don't have these!"
"...Kuro, there is no absolute fairness in this world. For example, at this moment, although you have the songs left to you by your father, you do not have your father to teach you personally."
"As for Yu Che, Yu Heng, and Yu Xing, they may not have two hundred songs, but they have their father and previous combat experience as guidance..."
"Every size has its own advantages, how can there be absolute fairness?"
Mrs. Hou's words were so sensible that He Tiantian was convinced.
Yes, there is no absolute fairness.
She is a big wall hanging with gold fingers all over her body, but she keeps saying what is fair, is it pretentious or not?!
"...Auntie, I understand, I was wrong."
He Tiantian realized her problem and hurriedly corrected it.
Her attitude was sincere, and she looked at Mrs. Hou with even more admiration.
Ahem, apart from some real admiration, it’s more of a performance.
He Tiantian must let Mrs. Hou have the happiness of "cultivation".
"Yu Li" recognized him halfway, and there was no relationship at all between him and Mrs. Hou.
If "Yu Li" behaves perfectly in every aspect and does not allow Mrs. Hou, the mother, to have the opportunity to teach and have room to develop, then the relationship between the "mother and son" will only become more alienated.
This is not what He Tiantian wants.
He Tiantian wants to make "Yu Li" a member of the Yu family.
"Yu Li" and Mrs. Hou also want to become real mother and son.
Ten years less of getting along with each other allowed Madam Hou to experience what it felt like to personally "teach" a noble son of a noble family and a mighty general.
With personal participation and results, Mrs. Hou will have a sense of accomplishment, and her feelings for "Yu Li" will become deeper.
"My son, how old are you? How could you think so thoughtfully?"
Mrs. Hou was indeed pleased by He Tiantian's reaction.
She smiled lovingly and said softly, "Don't worry, I will definitely teach you well in the future."
Let his son completely get rid of the petty mentality given by the Gongsun family and become the true heir of the Yu family and the future General Yu.
When Mrs. Hou thought of this, she became more and more motivated.
And her slightly distressed heart due to handing over Two Hundred Parts was instantly soothed——
What are you distressed about?
Jiuro is my biological son. Only by giving my manpower to him can we play a greater role.
When Kuro is better, I can be better!
"By the way, in addition to manpower, there is also money! Your father left us a lot!"
The most profitable thing is fighting.
The Yu family produced three generations of generals, and they have been in the northwest for more than a hundred years.
The wealth accumulated is not just a tiny bit.
If the Yu family didn't have to use part of it to raise troops, the Yu family's wealth would be even greater.
Even so, General Yu left a lot of property to his wife and children.
And all this gold, silver, and human hands were not put in one basket.
The Marquis Mansion in the capital is only on the surface and belongs to the tip of the iceberg.
The real big head is in the northwest!
A pile of gold bricks was buried under the Yu family's mansion in Wuzhen.
There are also several treasure houses buried in the grasslands and hills, all of which are accumulated by the Yu family over hundreds of years.
Most of them belong to Gongzhong and are owned by the entire Yu family.
However, there is still a small part that General Yu secretly left to his wife and children.
Not only him, but Yu Er and Yu Si also had similar back-ups.
That's Yu San. He has no experience in the northwest and has no private treasury.
But he was responsible for taking care of the general affairs of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion in the capital, and he secretly made some moves. Over the years, he also accumulated a lot of family property.
He hid everything in the name of his wife's dowry.
When the house was searched, only the property of the Yu family was confiscated, and the dowries of the female family members were not greatly affected.
There is the kindness of the saint here, and it is also because of Mrs. Hou——
She is a noble daughter of the clan.
Her dowry was not confiscated, and other female relatives followed her example.
Therefore, Yu San also kept his "little treasury".
However, this time his son was going to practice, and it was related to his position as the "young head of the family". Yu San gritted his teeth and took out all the family assets.
"Son, these fifty people are the caravan men I recruited. They call them guys, but in fact they are all guards. They all have some skills and have fought against horse bandits."
"Also, there are five hundred taels of gold here, which your father and I saved with great difficulty. Now I will give them to you. You will need them whether you are recruiting troops or purchasing supplies."
With a pained expression, Yu San handed over most of his family fortune to Yu Xing.
The corners of Yu Xing's mouth twitched: ...Dad, did you get these from your father-in-law?
Yu Xing murmured secretly, but he was still moved.
He knew that his room had never been taken seriously in the Hou Mansion.
My father felt inferior because of his status, so he was inevitably a little selfish.
But no matter what little thoughts his biological father had, his love for her was not adulterated at all.
"Thank you dad! Don't worry, my son will do well!"
He would definitely not be able to beat Jiulang in this bet.
I guess even Shiro would be better than him.
However, Yu Xing will still go all out.
He also wanted to see how far he could go.
And what are the differences between him and Kuro?
Soon, Yu Xing discovered that he was far worse than Jiulang.
First, character and pattern!
"What? Jiulang, you said you want to share these cultivated seedlings and craftsmen with us?"
Yu Xing looked straight at He Tiantian, his eyes filled with disbelief.
These seedlings are seeds bought by Jiulang with his own money, and they have been cultivated through hard work.
Jiulang also spent a lot of money to recruit these craftsmen.
As a result, Jiulang took it out so generously, saying that the four brothers would divide it equally, each one having a share.
This, this—
Even the most thoughtful Yu Heng was a little at a loss.
Is Jiuro acting this way too magnanimous or too confident?
Yu Heng's mind was racing with all kinds of speculations.
Yu Che was also a little surprised.
However, he prefers that Jiulang is too magnanimous and has a real view of the overall situation and the big picture.
"Kuro, I lost another section!"
Yu Che smiled calmly and accepted defeat without any awkwardness at all.
After hearing what Yu Che said, Yu Xing reacted and said, "Yes, yes, with Jiulang's heart, I am ashamed of myself!"
This is the magnanimity and courage that a family leader should have.
Just like the former uncle, after the eldest son and the second son passed away one after another, he did not insist on promoting the only legitimate son Yu Yan like the eldest aunt, but instead nurtured all his nephews without favoritism.
Only looking at ability and not closeness is what a family head or clan leader should do.
Only without too much selfishness, and even some selflessness, can we ensure enough fairness and allow our tribesmen and relatives to love each other and unite as one.
With this alone, Jiulang is qualified to be the young master!
Yu Heng bit his lip, and after a moment, he nodded silently, "Yes, Jiulang, I am indeed not as good as you at this point!"
Well, before they even arrived at the attached city, they had already lost two rounds!
However, this is just the beginning, the main event is the business territory.
Looking at the deserted sand city that jumped into his sight, Yu Heng clenched his fists and resurrected with full health again...
