Chapter 161: Sooner or later, these lands will still belong to our Wang family
Wang's courtyard, the master's study room
"Yuan'er, what do you think?"
"That Chu Qianqiu has a very dark heart, he is like a wolf, tiger or leopard."
"Why did you just obey?"
Wang Rong looked at his two sons in disbelief.
Needless to say, the eldest son was beaten so badly that his face was bruised and swollen, and he is still standing aside a little aggrieved, looking very pitiful.
The youngest son, Wang Yuan, was very handsome and kind-hearted, which was very similar to his own. Wang Rong always valued him and considered him to be the future pillar of the Wang family.
"Father, Chu Qianqiu is coming with bad intentions. The Wang family can only escape this disaster by facing it actively." Wang Yuan is worthy of being a hero of the Wang family, and he quickly explained his strategy in a clear and coherent manner.
"If the boy's guess is correct, he was ordered by Liu Dutong to unite the forces of Baixiang Town."
"The situation is stronger than the people. Liu Dutong just killed six policemen. The whole Lingzhou is going to be in turmoil."
"Then Xianggong Wang encountered such setbacks when he first took office. He will definitely be passive in the temple, and Xianggong Niu's cronies will definitely attack him in groups."
"It is impossible for Mr. Wang to severely suppress the Shenwei Army in a short period of time, otherwise the world will be in chaos."
"For at least three to five years, Lingzhou will still be dominated by the Shenwei Army, and we have to surrender."
After hearing Wang Yuan's words, Wang Ren was a little surprised. His younger brother had grown to this point. It was true that his father wanted to support him to become the next head of the family.
But I am unwilling to do so.
The head of the Wang family had no idea of taking care of his eldest son and could only sigh.
"Indeed, even if Wang Xianggong decides on the plan of annihilation, the power of the Shenwei Army in Lingzhou is not something that we, the Wang family, can compete with."
Wang Yuan smiled slightly, not feeling aggrieved at all, but continued to speak calmly:
"Father, don't worry. Even if I go to the Divine Power Army, I believe that I can gain their trust, step forward, and control part of the power of the Divine Power Army."
"Qin came and surrendered to Qin, and Chu came and surrendered to Chu. This is the way for our Wang family to survive."
"No matter how many royal flags appear on the city walls of Lingzhou, they still need someone to provide them with food, money, and manpower."
The Wang family planted its roots in the vast land, planted basic materials such as herbs, grains, and vegetables, and then provided them to every lord of Lingzhou.
As long as they don't come with the idea of destruction, the Wang family will always cooperate.
"Yuan'er, you have grown up and are a qualified head of the family." Wang Rong nodded, but did not realize that his words made Wang Ren's face become extremely pale.
"Just go ahead and do the Shenwei Army thing. The family will support you behind it."
"Father, not only the Shenwei Army, we also need to strengthen our ties with Daxia, as well as Wang Xianggong's side." Wang Yuan said very decisively.
"Brother, Mr. Wang's side depends on you."
Wang Yuan looked at Wang Ren sincerely, which made Wang Ren feel guilty.
In this situation, the younger brother is still thinking about how to get back into the situation. For the sake of the family, he is too far behind.
"Don't worry, sixth brother, leave everything to me."
"Everything goes well with the family. The Wang family has gone through many ups and downs, and this time will be no exception."
After saying that, the father and son hugged each other tightly.
After a while, Wang Yuan left first to find Chu Qianqiu to join the Shenwei Army.
Wang Rong, on the other hand, left his eldest son behind to further discuss countermeasures.
"Ren'er, I gave you a hard time just now."
"Then Chu Qianqiu is unreasonable and insists on trying to seize my Wang family's inheritance. As a father, I can only kill him."
Wang Rong took out the medicinal wine for bruises and personally applied the medicine to his eldest son Wang Ren. The famously dissolute young man couldn't help but shed tears and said:
"Father, if this is the case, how can the pain on your body be compared to the loss of the family business?" Wang Ren is certainly not a fool. He behaved stupidly in front of Chu Qianqiu just to cooperate with his father in singing the double act.
After exploring Chu Qianqiu's bottom line, I didn't expect that the other party would be so shameless.
"There are 150,000 acres of fertile land. Do our Wang family really want to hand over these fields?"
"Our Wang family has been working diligently for hundreds of years for generations, and we only have such a small amount of land. How can we hand it over?"
"What will the family eat and drink in the future?"
Wang Ren felt extremely distressed when he thought of this. He himself also runs the Wang family's rice shop and grain store in Linghu City, so he knows how much the output of these 150,000 acres of land is.
The children and grandchildren of the Wang family all depended on this for a living, and now that Chu Qianqiu had taken away such a large piece of it unreasonably, it was heartbreaking.
"How about we trade the inferior quality for some wasteland?" Wang Ren immediately came up with an idea, but he didn't expect Wang Rong to interrupt it directly -
"No." Wang Rong said firmly.
"Ren'er, you are still young and don't know what happened fifty years ago. At that time, General Long also carried out a reform of the land in Lingzhou."
"Let many aristocratic families return the occupied land and distribute the land to tenants, allowing him to obtain sufficient soldiers to form the current Shenwei Army."
"In every dynasty and after the establishment of a new dynasty, mergers and acquisitions must be restrained and cultivated land must be returned to farmers."
"Let those tenants stand up and be the farmers who support the Shenwei Army."
"Liu Dutong imitates General Long every day, so naturally he wants Chu Qianqiu to blackmail him."
Wang Rong mentioned this and sneered twice.
"So I not only want to give him land, but also give him good water to irrigate the land."
"Father, why is this?"
"These are all belongings to our Wang family."
Wang Ren couldn't help but ask.
"Ren'er, you have lost your mind."
"Chu Qianqiu is just a military householder. What does he know about farming?"
"The rivers that irrigate the land and the reservoir facilities are all things that our Wang family has put in a lot of effort to build."
"If he distributes the land to farmers, that's great."
"We just sell water to farmers, a bag of wheat and a bucket of water. We don't want the irrigated land to turn into dry land, and the tenant farmers still have to pay us."
Wang Rong said slowly, since he can be the largest landowner in Baixiang Town, run the huge Wang family, and have the reputation of being a great philanthropist, he is certainly not a simple person.
"What's more, the iron tools and cattle used for farming are also belongings to our Wang family."
"Every year, in order to eliminate insects and stimulate growth in the fields, we have to send out masters who are highly skilled in energy storage to protect the fields. None of those farmers have them."
"If those farmers can't afford it, we can also lend them loans and make sure they are accounted for."
"It just takes a few more years, and all these places will come back."
"Sooner or later, those farmers will become tenants of our Wang family. They can't run away."
Wang Rong said calmly, "Isn't it just a withdrawal of some land? The Wang family has seen too much and is not afraid of you."
As long as the foundation is still there, I will make double the money back.
"My father is wise!" Wang Ren said with sincerity. As expected, he was still far behind his father.
"What's more, if Chu Qianqiu takes over this land and drives away the tenants, it will trigger a civil uprising."
"I want to see if he is a simple soldier or a hero who can rule the world."
"If he is truly a hero, the Wang family will obey him."
