Chapter 288: Guangjiang Iron Mansion, immediate benefits
In prosperous times, there are two kinds of money that are best earned.
The first is children’s money.
The poor family hopes to raise a unicorn child. Once the salted fish is reborn, they will naturally give everything they have to give them the best they can.
Ordinary people and lonely families also hope to transcend social classes or rise again, and they also attach great importance to children and do not hesitate to pay.
In order to control their own rights and maintain their enduring status, a truly wealthy family also needs outstanding fresh blood.
So it’s best to make money from children!
No one will let their descendants lose at the starting line.
The newly born life not only represents the continuation of life, but also represents the hope of the older generation.
Those things that I couldn't do in the past can be pinned on this new baby.
The second type... is naturally the money of dead people.
If you are born in troubled times, and people's lives are like grass and grass, this profession will indeed be difficult to do.
But the Great Shang Dynasty has been in peace for eight hundred years. Not only does every family have a surplus of food, but at least they have enough food and clothing, which is not difficult in this world.
Just like Tie Tang and Bi Qi, who were born as orphans and had no one to rely on, they could grow up relying on family food and the government.
In today's era, it is not an exaggeration to call it a prosperous age.
The human race attaches great importance to returning fallen leaves to their roots and laying them in their graves. Worshiping ancestors during festivals and festivals is also a top priority.
In this prosperous age... no one will bargain over the funeral of their relatives and friends.
So when Tie Tang came to Guangjiang County, Guangjiang City, and the residence of the three Tie brothers, he realized that he had underestimated these three people.
The Tie family, which started out by selling coffins, interspersed with incense and candles, and made paper figures to hold money, has a great reputation in Guangjiang City and even Guangjiang County.
"Iron Mansion"
As soon as Tie Long, Tie Hu, and Tie Niu appeared at the door, noisy sounds came from the house.
"The three masters are back!"
"Quick, go prepare grapefruit leaves, a fire pot, and prepare a flower milk bath."
"Tell the chef to prepare the banquet immediately. Don't let me wait for a long time."
..........
In just a moment.
The middle door in front of the Iron Mansion was wide open, and a group of Yingying Yanyan and hundreds of servants appeared at the door. They stood in an orderly manner and respectfully greeted Tie Long, Tie Hu, and Tie Niu.
Of course.
Now there is one more person.
"Your posture... is more majestic than mine." Tie Tang stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the golden family in front of him, almost thinking that he had arrived at a powerful family. p>
Tie Long bowed slightly: "Hey, sir, I made you laugh."
At this time, the eight servants were divided into four groups and came over carrying two crossed iron pillars. Directly below the two iron pillars, a gold basin the size of a bathtub was hung.
This golden basin is obviously made of pure gold, showing its financial strength. There is a lot of charcoal inside, and it is burning with flames.
Several maids came over swaying with grapefruit leaves in their hands.
"Well, sir, they may think that the three of us have just returned from 'going down to the cave'. This is an old custom, so I will let them leave now."
The three Tie brothers did all sorts of destructive things, and they were most superstitious about these customs, fearing that they would have a bad impact on their own destiny.
Before, they would definitely have to go through the process to wash away the bad luck, but today is different.
Tie Tang waved his hand: "As the Romans do, the four of us, except Tie Niu, have just come out of the 'cave', so there is nothing wrong with it."
Upon hearing this, Tie Long immediately smiled, bowed, and stretched out his hand toward the house: "Your Excellency, please come first. Your Excellency, please come first."
Most of the Yingying Yanyans in Tiefu were composed of three concubines. They had never seen their master be so groveling to other people, and they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"That's it, the third master. The eldest master and the second master have always been above the top. A while ago, the county magistrate came to invite me to a banquet, but they all refused.
This young man doesn’t look very big, so what kind of person is he?”
"I'm afraid that some evil guests may come to our door, why don't we prepare something?"
"Don't worry, the old man started from scratch. He is like a ghost. How can he bring his enemy back home? He should act as usual and wait for the outcome."
.........
These gossips could not be hidden from Tie Tang's ears, nor could they be hidden from Tie Long and Tie Hu. The two of them blushed when they heard it, but they did not dare to speak out to argue.
Stepping over the pure gold brazier, using grapefruit leaves to sweep away bad luck, and taking a bite of white tofu as smooth as jade, this initiation ceremony kicked off.
The Tie brothers led Tie Tang to the main hall. There were three seats at the main seat, side by side, without distinction, which also showed the equal status of the three brothers in the past.
Tie Long and Tie Hu did not look down upon Tie Niu because of their cultivation. The three brothers were born and died and were true brothers of life and death.
"Sir, sit down!"
Tie Tang sat down at the main seat and regarded himself as the master of the room. This move made others stunned.
"You guys should sit down too!"
"Yes, yes, thank you, sir!"
After the three Tie brothers sat down, a woman in her thirties came up. She first gave her a gift, and then asked her husband to take a bath and attend the banquet.
Tie Long didn't dare to make the decision, so he looked up at Tie Tang.
"There's no need for this. I'm not here today just to have fun. Let's get down to business."
The previous entry customs are enough, and going through other procedures later will be a waste of time.
"It's all gone, it's all gone!" Tie Long waved his hands repeatedly.
The woman asked softly: "Master, who is this?"
"It's none of your business, go back first."
"Wait a minute, there's no need to rush to let them go. Tie is new here and just wants to get to know you all."
Tie Long's expression changed when he heard this, and he immediately understood what Tie Tang was going to do, which was to identify the door and take control of himself.
Although he was unwilling to do so, he did not dare to go against Tie Tang.
"Go, let them all come out, and also call out the marriage certificates of the second master and the third master."
It didn’t take long.
There are one or two hundred more figures in the main hall.
These are all the wives, concubines, and children of the three Tie brothers. The youngest is still a toddler, there are many in their twenties, and the oldest looks to be only around forty years old.
"Sir, there are no outstanding people among the three descendants of my brothers, which makes you laugh."
The three children are not young, they even have grandchildren.
For example, Tie Long is actually more than a hundred years old, and his eldest son is also seventy or eighty years old. It is just because he embarked on the witchcraft path, or Tie Long gave them some elixirs and treasures to keep them young, that they still seem to be young.
Young.
But the strongest ones in Tiefu...are Tielong and Tiehu.
It is already difficult for ordinary people to come up with a spiritual witch, and it is almost impossible for a family to come up with a witch.
The secret realm of magic and witches is almost the pinnacle of all common people in the world.
Tie Tang was dazzled by what he saw and couldn't help but sigh: "The three of you... are really capable of marrying and having children!"
Each of the three brothers has at least ten wives and concubines, and even more children. Just these people plus the expenses of servants and servants in the house are a huge consumption every day.
"The three of us brothers are not capable, so naturally we want to have a talented person emerge among the younger generations. Unfortunately, it is too difficult."
Tie Tang waved his hand to stop the three brothers' thoughts and looked around.
"Do you have any elders alive?"
Tie Long, Tie Hu, and Tie Niu looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.
"My mother died fifty years ago and cannot be saved. As for my father, he died even earlier."
"Are there no other uncles?"
"No!"
Tie Long recalled: "Everyone was having a hard time at that time. My father's brother, my second uncle, offended local dignitaries, and his body seemed to have been fed to dogs.
I heard this from my father, and I have never seen other prostitutes since I was a child."
Tie Tang knocked on the armrest and asked blankly: "Is there a family tree?"
"The genealogy...seems like there is no..."
"Brother, there is a book, that should be it." Tieniu stood up and walked out.
Tie Long and Tie Hu looked at each other, and both saw the meaning in each other's eyes.
Why are you looking for a genealogy?
If you want to control yourself and others, you won't have to go to this point.
Could it be that this master of my family...is here to recognize his relatives?
Speaking of which, his surname is also Tie...it's really possible.
After a while.
Tieniu walked in holding a tattered ancient book full of wormholes.
"Sir, you see, this is the genealogy of my Tie family."
After Tie Tang took over, he did not read it immediately, but asked in detail how the three brothers' ancestors ended up in Guangjiang County.
The more I asked him, the more certain I became.
These three people and I are really the same ancestors, and in terms of seniority... I am afraid they are even higher than myself.
After careful questioning, Tie Tang finally opened the ancient book.
On that day, he was involved in the massacre in Hanhai City and was interrogated by the Qingshui County Court. He knew everything about his ancestors who were ten generations older.
As soon as I browsed through it, I immediately saw a few familiar names from four or five generations back.
It can’t be wrong!
Tie Tang smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that his blood relatives were actually the three Tie brothers.
Tie Long and Tie Hu were also very good at observing words and expressions. They caught Tie Tang's expression changes and an impossible idea came to his mind.
"Sir...could it be said..."
Tie Tang didn't hide it, stood up and looked at the three of them.
"Five hundred years ago...we were one family!"
His five hundred years ago are not an imaginary number, but are inferred back to the Tie family in Hanhai City. Our ancestors are indeed one family.
The three Tie brothers couldn't believe it for a while, but they didn't think it was necessary for Tie Tang to lie to him.
What is Tie Tang’s identity?
With his strength and qualifications, there is no need to curry favor with the three of them.
The reverse is almost the same!
Now that these words are spoken from Tie Tang’s mouth, there is no doubt that they are wrong.
The three brothers were suddenly filled with thousands of emotions, and their eyes were soaked with rain and mist unconsciously.
"My lord..."
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. I just happened to know about my ancestor's deeds. It's not glorious, so don't make it public."
Tie Tang told the story of his ancestors one by one, which finally cleared up the doubts in the minds of the three brothers.
"In that case... I, Tieniu, might be even more senior than you." Tieniu is outspoken and will say whatever comes to mind.
"Third brother, you are so presumptuous!" Tie Long slapped him on the head with his backhand.
Regardless of whether this kind of thing is true or not...can it be said?
Something to say.
That's just saying a few words in secret.
Is there any reason to talk face to face? Isn’t that asking the evil dragon in front of me to bow his head?
This is seeking death.
"Well, since you are also related to me, it is appropriate to leave this matter to you, and it will not be in vain."
Upon hearing this, the three Tie brothers immediately understood Tie Tang's true meaning.
Recognizing relatives is all false.
It is not uncommon for his own brothers to turn against each other, even father and son to turn against each other, and mother and daughter to kill each other.
Not to mention this kind of relationship that took eight poles to establish.
"Let them retreat."
After the three brothers' wives, concubines, children, and servants all left, there were only four people named Tie left in the main hall.
"Sir, what do you want to do? As long as they are within their ability, my three brothers will handle it for you."
Tie Long had already given Tie Tang a high look, but now that he learned that he was still a distant relative of his, he felt somewhat close to him, and his words became more fluent.

"Okay, I'm just going to use the connections and influence of the three of you here to help me?"
"Through fire and water, my lord."
"This matter is easy to handle. In Guangjiang County, especially in Guangjiang City, my three brothers are no less capable than the government."
Tie Tang nodded with satisfaction, thinking that he would be in a good position.
