Chapter 87 The general trend! The tool is flexible
…
Spring comes and winter goes, and years fly by in a hurry.
In the spring of the 3184th year of the Changli reign of Emperor Qianlong.
Qing'an County.
Qing'an Basin has thousands of miles of fertile fields and is surrounded by green water. It is a famous "land of plenty" in Daqian. Correspondingly, the catering industry here is naturally extremely developed.
Outside Qing'an County, there is a manor called "Qingyaju".
This gourmet manor occupies an extremely vast area, and it integrates food and accommodation. It is very unique and is well-known throughout Qing'an County. It even often attracts diners from other counties.
Many Xuanwu monks from other counties come to Qing'an County to visit. If they want to experience the delicious food of Qing'an County, Qingyaju is a must-visit place.
Its great reputation is evident from this.
However, this Qingyaju is not the property of the Zuoqiu family, the first aristocratic family in Qing'an County, but the property of the royal family member, King Cheng.
Although this may be an insignificant small property for Prince Cheng, it is precisely because of its backing to Prince Cheng’s Mansion that Qingyaju was able to gain a foothold in Qing’an County and compete with several other gourmet estates.
This day.
Xu Qingbo, the shopkeeper of Qingyaju, was sitting behind the counter at the door, calculating accounts one after another. Suddenly, a crisp cry came from the sky.
He looked up and saw a flying chariot pulled by a giant white bird coming from a distance.
The giant bird pulling the cart is all white, its color is as clear as the first snow, its body is even more elegant, its aura is very distinctive, and it is very recognizable.
"Jade-clawed egret?" Xu Qingbo was surprised, "A person from the Zuoqiu family?"
The Jade-clawed Egret is a fourth-level spiritual bird, and it is also a unique species of spiritual bird in Qing'an County. In Qing'an County, only the Zuoqiu family has the financial resources to raise a Jade-clawed Egret to drive a flying chariot.
While he was talking, the flying chariot had already circled and landed in the square at the entrance of the manor.
Immediately afterwards, the door of the flying chariot was opened, and two middle-aged men wearing jade crowns and brocade clothes walked out one after another.
One of the two middle-aged men looks older, and has a lot of fine lines at the corners of his eyes, clearly showing a bit of age, while the other looks much younger, but looks somewhat like the older man. Similarity, obvious blood relationship.
The two of them did not deliberately show off their power, but they walked calmly and gracefully, clearly not weaklings.
Xu Qingbo recognized the person, quickly put down his abacus, and walked a few steps to greet him: "Two ancestors, what kind of wind is it that has brought you two here?"
It turned out that these two people who came were actually the first and third ancestors of the Zuoqiu clan in Qing'an. Zuoqiu Deye and Zuoqiu Zhenghua were both powerful men in the Zifu realm.
As the shopkeeper of Qingyaju, he usually has to deal with all kinds of big shots. Naturally, he knows all the top strong people in Qing'an County.
"We are here to meet guests." Seeing that Zuoqiu Deye had no intention of speaking, Zuoqiu Zhenghua waved to him, "You can go about your business and don't worry about us. In addition, send a copy of the best food and wine you have here to Qingzhu Court, the money will be recorded in my Zuoqiu family’s account. Go ahead~"
After that, the two of them walked towards the manor and soon entered the depths of the manor.
Xu Qingbo naturally saluted and praised without mentioning it.
At the same time, Zuoqiu Zhenghua still didn't understand what happened today.
"Grandpa Zeng, after all you are also the first ancestor of our Qing'an Zuoqiu family. You have a respected status. Do you need to be so cautious? Could this person here be a real person with magical power?" Seeing no one around, he gave his family a message. Grandpa Zeng preached.
"What do you know?" Zuoqiu Deye glanced at him and said in the same voice, "Although the person who came today is not the Shentong Master, he is the great genius of Lingyun Holy Land and will become the Shentong Master sooner or later in the future. With good luck, say Maybe it’s possible to take charge of the Holy Land and become one of the two most powerful people in Daqian.”
"Hiss~"
Upon hearing this, Zuoqiu Zhenghua suddenly stood in awe.
Both are in the Purple Mansion realm, and the great genius not only represents stronger combat power, but also represents greater potential, not to mention that behind this great genius is a behemoth like Lingyun Holy Land, and his status is naturally different from those of ordinary Zifu realms like them. Same.
He asked carefully: "I have vaguely heard of the reputations of those great geniuses in the Holy Land. I wonder if this one is one of them..."
"His surname is Gongyang, his single name is the word 'Ce', and his title is 'Xuanmiao'. You can call him 'Master Xuanmiao' or 'Mr. Ce'." Zuoqiu Deye explained, "When we meet, remember to be respectful. We would rather keep our attitude low, but we are determined not to offend this person."
"Grandpa Zeng, don't worry, Zhenghua knows the importance."
While he was talking, Qingzhuyuan had already arrived.
Using the door sticker they had obtained in advance to clear the restriction, the two of them pushed open the courtyard door and went in. At a glance, they saw the three people in the pavilion in the courtyard.
The three people sat and stood two at a time. Standing on the left and right were two women, their faces solemn and their eyes narrowed, looking extremely respectful and submissive. Sitting in the middle was a young man in white.
He is tall and tall, has a face like a crown jewel, and has an elegant temperament. Judging from his appearance alone, there is nothing wrong with him.
His temperament is also far more outstanding than the two women standing on his left and right. It is a kind of calmness that comes from his bones, a confidence and indifference built up from countless successes, as if nothing in this world is difficult to overcome. He is average.
With such temperament and style, the identity of the young man in white is already obvious.
"Master Ce."
Zuoqiu Deye and Zuoqiu Zhenghua immediately stepped forward and saluted politely.
"You two are welcome~"
The young man in white didn't put on any airs, he stood up and returned the greeting, and then let the two of them into the pavilion.
This young man in white is naturally the great genius of the Holy Land, Master Xuanmiao, Gong Yangce, whom Zuoqiu Deye and Zuoqiu Zhenghua talked about before.
After some polite greetings, both parties took their seats.
Soon, the attendants in the manor brought all kinds of fresh delicacies and mellow wine, and then quietly retreated again.
With good wine and delicious food as matchmakers, after a few words, the two strangers naturally became familiar with each other.
Then, it was time to get down to business.
Gongyang Ce winked at a woman in a white dress next to him, and then said to the two ancestors of the Zuoqiu family: "You may not know the person next to me, but you should know her name.
Passed."
The woman in the white dress took a step forward knowingly, bowed respectfully to the two ancestors of the Zuoqiu clan, and introduced herself: "Two ancestors, I am Cao Youqing of Lingyun Holy Land."
It turned out that this woman in the white dress was the Holy Land genius, Cao Youqing, who had been "taken the blame" and was sent to the "Land of Thunder Punishment" for seclusion by the young master in white.
The more than ten years of seclusion had obviously had a huge impact on her in all aspects.
Today, not only has her strength been upgraded to the eighth level of the Heavenly Realm, but her aura has also become more calm and restrained. After decades of polishing, she will most likely reach the peak and be able to
Begin to prepare for breaking through the Zifu Realm.
At the same time, the arrogance and indifference in her body also dissipated a lot, and she seemed to be much more down-to-earth and steady.
"It's you?"
Zuoqiu Zhenghua raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
At that time, the Zuoqiu Qingyun incident caused quite a stir, and the Zuoqiu clan lost a lot of face because of it. To this day, when the Zuoqiu clan members go to other counties and cities to do business, they often encounter strange looks from other aristocratic families.
Even though Zuoqiu Qingyun and he were not of the same lineage, he really didn't have a good impression of Cao Youqing.
Zuoqiu Deye thought a little deeper.
He looked at Gongyang Ce, with a bit of solemnity in his eyes: "Master Ce, what do you mean by this? Could it be that you want to mediate between the Zuoqiu family and the Cao family?"
Although there are few examples of the academy stepping in to mediate disputes between aristocratic families, there are still some.
"You two have misunderstood." Gongyang Ce picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, and said calmly, "I'm not here to mediate, but actually to clear up the misunderstanding."
Misunderstand?
Zuoqiu Zhenghua glanced at his grandfather Zeng and said hesitantly: "Young Master means..."
"What happened back then was actually not what Youqing did." Gongyang Ce explained calmly, "I know that Youqing's whereabouts were unknown at that time, and it is indeed difficult to prove his innocence. Over the years, I have conducted detailed investigations into the situation at that time, and found that
The truth may not be what the two families think. Xiaoyue."
"Yes, Master."
Xiaoyue, who was standing on the other side of Gong Yangce, agreed, then walked out slowly and handed a stack of investigation materials to Zuoqiu Deye and Zuoqiu Zhenghua.
"After our investigation, it was found that Zuoqiu Qingyun was intercepted and killed that day. No one could clearly see the face of the shooter. The identity could only be determined based on a silk handkerchief left at the scene and the fact that the shooter had leaked a trace of thunderous aura.
.There are many doubts about this matter.”
"In addition, the appearance of those juniors present that day was too coincidental. After in-depth investigation, we confirmed that the reason why they appeared in Pingyunxuan was because of the Monan Wang family's junior prodigy Wang Wanghai. Wang Wanghai learned that Zuo
Qiu Qingyun used coercion to force Fairy Tianyan to have a private meeting with him, and he just incited..."
"We conducted an in-depth investigation on this matter. After many twists and turns, we learned from a rough servant of the Wang family in Monan that Wang Guanghai had gone to the guest house that day and met his fourth grandfather, the head of the Wang family in Changning, who was of the same clan and different clan.
Wang Shouzhe."
"It was after meeting Wang Shouzhe that Wang Wangshou walked out the door with an angry look on his face... According to our estimation, Wang Wangshou probably learned the news from Wang Shouzhe."
"Not long before this, Fairy Tianyan went to Monan Wang Family to visit Wang Shouzhe."
Taken individually, these things may not make much sense, but when linked together, they are very good.
Xiaoyue explained every piece of evidence she had investigated to Zuo Qiu and the others in detail, giving evidence and confessions one by one. The entire logical chain was very complete, well-founded and convincing.
Although there is no clear evidence to prove that this matter is related to Wang Shouzhe, it is known that Wang Shouzhe arrived in Monan with Qian Xuehan, the head of the Longzuo Qian family, and Cao Youqing had previously assassinated Qian Xuehan and targeted the King of Changning.
Well, the truth is already coming out.
"We believe that the death of Zuoqiu Qingyun is most likely related to the Longzuo Qian family and the Changning Wang family." Xiaoyue finally concluded, "Xiaoyue can guarantee with her life that the contents of this testimony
They are all facts. If you two don’t believe it, you can call relevant witnesses to come and question it.”
"That's not necessary. As a young master, there is no need to deceive us on such a trivial matter."
Zuoqiu Deye immediately refused.
Naturally, he would not be stupid enough to call people in for questioning right away.
For one thing, the content given by Xiaoyue is extremely detailed and detailed, with clear logic, all the details can be matched, and the credibility is extremely high.
Secondly, no matter whether he believed it in his heart or not, on the surface, he had to pretend to be very trusting to save face for Gongyang. As for whether to investigate secretly or not, that was another matter.
"I didn't expect that my noble Zuoqiu clan would be teased like this. What a shame!" Zuoqiu Zhenghua reacted quickly. He slapped the table with an angry look on his face and said, "The Qian family and the Wang family are so disrespectful to my Zuoqiu family.
They take them seriously! I, Zuoqiu, will never let them go easily!"
"You two, please be patient."
Seeing the attitude of the two people, Gongyang Ce knew better.
He continued: "I have a plan, which can make the Qian family and the Wang family pay the price, and also vent my anger on the Zuoqiu family. I wonder if Brother Deye would like to listen to me?"
Zuoqiu Deye's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that after going around in circles for so long, the real drama was finally coming.
He immediately raised his hand in cooperation and said, "That's natural. Sir, please tell me."
"Both the Zuoqiu family and the Cao family are victims of this matter. Here's what I think, why don't you two join forces..." Gongyang Ce immediately explained his plan in this way.
once.
After all, Zuoqiu Deye was a man who had lived for hundreds of years. As soon as he heard these words, he already understood most of it.
He and his great-grandson Zuoqiu Zhenghua looked at each other with a hesitant expression: "This... this matter is of great importance. I need to go back and discuss it before making a decision."
"This is natural. It should be."
Naturally, Gongyang Ce would not force the two of them, and after a few more polite words, he let them leave.
After the two left, only Gong Yangce and three others were left in the Qingzhu Courtyard.
"Sir, will they agree?" Cao Youqing frowned slightly, feeling a little doubtful.
"Don't worry, they will agree."
It was not Gong Yangce who answered her, but Xiaoyue.
She smiled and said: "The master has taken Fairy Youqing out of the Zuoqiu Qingyun case, and the Zuoqiu family has no reason to continue to take action against the Cao family. Informing the plan clearly makes one's position clear, and at the same time it is also a subtle way of giving to the family."
Fairy Youqing supports me, as long as they are not stupid, they know what to do."
After all, the connections and energy represented by a great prodigy in the Purple Mansion Realm of the Lingyun Holy Land are simply not something that a fourth-grade family can compete with.
Between friend and foe, fools know how to choose.
"What's more, Young Master's plan doesn't even require them to take risks. It can be easily accomplished, so they have no reason to refuse." Xiaoyue added.
Cao Youqing still didn't figure it out: "But, can this really work?"
"That's enough." Gongyang Ce glanced at her and said calmly, "Most of the time, plans don't need to be complicated. What's important is that they are effective."
What's more, conspiracies can be easily cracked, and upright plots are often the most difficult to resist.
His goal has never been to eliminate the Qian family or the Wang family. This arrangement is just to use the general trend to exert pressure. It also helps to teach the Qian family and the Wang family what it means to be an enemy of him.
What he wanted from beginning to end was Longzuo County.
Of course, it would be great if we could take this opportunity to recruit a few talents.
Asking Xiaoyue to call the attendants from the manor, he removed the wine and food and replaced them with tea. He said lightly in a chatty manner: "Now that the situation has become a success, all that is needed is a gentle push. In this matter, Long
There is no need to worry about anyone else in Zuo County. There are only two people who need attention. One is Qian Xuehan, the head of the Qian family, and the second is the head of the Wang family, Wang Shouzhe."
"Qian Xuehan?"
Cao Youqing was stunned for a moment.
She can understand Wang Shouzhe. After all, she herself has suffered losses at the hands of Wang Shouzhe more than once, so she naturally understands how terrifying this person is. But Qian Xuehan?
In her impression, Qian Xuehan was just a coward who could only cry and cry. How could he deserve such attention?
"I forgot that Fairy Youqing has been in seclusion, so I'm afraid she still doesn't know the situation clearly." Xiaoyue poured a cup of tea for Gong Yangce and casually explained to Cao Youqing, "In recent years, the Qian family has been developing rapidly.
Although your cheap great-nephew Qian Xuehan is not a prominent person, his authority within the Qian family has been growing day by day over the years. Unknowingly, he already has a considerable say in the Presbyterian Church. From this point on
It seems that he is much stronger than his father, and he can be considered a person."
You must know that Qian Xuehan and his father Qian Qinhong were under the control of the Presbyterian Church during his reign, otherwise he would not be timid in doing things and have many worries.
Qian Xuehan was able to sort out the complex relationships within the Qian family and firmly assume the position of head of the family in just a dozen years. In addition to the support of his ancestors, his own abilities must also be very strong.
After a pause, Xiaoyue added: "In his hands, the Qian family may have the possibility to go further."
The Qian family is already a Zifu family, and if they go one step further, they will become a fourth-grade family.
You know, it is easy to maintain a family, but it is extremely difficult to make further progress. What's more, there are only a few fourth-rank families in the entire Daqian? A person who can bring a fifth-rank family to the fourth rank can barely be called " "Hero".
Xiaoyue's evaluation can be said to be extremely high.
Cao Youqing also didn't expect that Qian Xuehan, whom she had never looked up to, could receive such a high evaluation.
However, Sister Xiaoyue has been following the Lord for many years, and her ability to identify people is recognized by even the Lord. Even she said so, so it's probably not wrong.
For a moment, her expression could be said to be quite complicated.
"However, although Qian Xuehan's ability is not bad, it pales in comparison to Wang Shouzhe." Xiaoyue said, with a look of admiration on her face unconsciously, "For any aristocratic family, opening up wasteland in foreign lands is a challenge. It was a time-consuming and laborious project. However, under the leadership of Wang Shouzhe, the Wang family only spent ten years to complete the development of foreign lands and the migration of the population. The process has been smooth sailing and encountered almost no difficulties. Now, the newly opened Xin'an Town is already thriving, not much worse than those towns that have been developing land for many years. This speed of land development can be said to be incredible."
"In addition, the 'Shouzhe Pass' built by the Wang family is ten miles long. I have roughly estimated that the Wang family has invested at least 20 million in it. However, the Wang family has not seen anything inside. A sign of a lack of money.”
"How is that possible?" Cao Youqing was so shocked that her eyes widened.
This is 20 million!
Even for a fifth-grade family, it is impossible to spend so much money at once. They must sell part of their property to raise funds, not to mention that the Wang family is only a seventh-grade family. Where did their family get so much money?!
Of course, what they didn't know was that Xiaoyue's estimated amount was actually inaccurate due to an error in estimating the cost of cement.
The Wang family invested only about 16 million in the reclamation of foreign lands. In addition, the ferocious beasts killed and the elixirs discovered during the process of reclamation were also worth a small 2 million dry gold. To a certain extent, offset part of the investment.
Of course, even 14 million dry gold is already staggering enough.
Listening to the conversation between the two women, Gong Yangce rubbed the tea cup with his fingertips, a deep thought flashing in his eyes.
Compared to Qian Xuehan, this Wang Shouzhe was the one he couldn't figure out the most.
In addition to Wang Shouzhe's incredible ability to make money, Wang Shouzhe's abilities in other aspects really made him raise eyebrows.
This person seemed to be born knowing what to do to make the family strong quickly. From the moment he took over the family, everything he did had a clear purpose, and it could be said that he never made a mistake.
The Wang clan members trained by him are all outstanding, and any one of them can be enough to serve as the backbone of the Zifu family. His queen, Li Yao, was recognized by Master Tianhe as soon as she entered the palace.
He was designated as the heir of Longzuo Academy.
If Wang Shouzhe was a carefully cultivated heir from a second- or third-grade family, it would be reasonable to have such skills and abilities, but he just came from a ninth-grade family.
In addition, Wang Shouzhe made a series of internal adjustments and promulgated a series of clan rules after taking over the Wang family, which gave him a strong sense of déjà vu.
If I had to describe it, it would probably be two words - "ambition".
It is as if Wang Shouzhe never thought of stopping his family at the seventh rank from the very beginning, but went straight to the fifth rank or even higher ranks.
But the problem is that when he took over the Changning Wang family more than thirty years ago, the Changning Wang family was only a ninth-grade family.
This was the most puzzling part for him.
Where did the heir of a ninth-grade family get such ambition and self-confidence?
This made him have to suspect that besides Wang Liyao, there were other great talents within the Changning Wang family.
Maybe it was Wang Shouzhe himself.
Only in this way can these things be explained.
But how could a heir to a ninth-grade family, a Xuanwu monk whose qualifications had been determined long ago, suddenly become a great genius and know so many things that he shouldn't know?
However, no matter how powerful Wang Shouzhe is, the Wang family is only in the seventh rank after all.
Or "that thing" is more important.
Gongyang Ce put aside his distracting thoughts, put down the tea cup, and said calmly: "I have something to go to the Hanyue Immortal Dynasty. You two are responsible for following up on the matters here."
Xiaoyue and Cao Youqing were chatting animatedly when they heard the words and quickly bowed and responded.
"Yes, Master."
"Yes, my lord."
The game has been laid and the chess pieces are in place.
The next thing is just to pay attention at all times and make slight adjustments according to the actual situation. With the two of them here, it is enough to handle it. With the current strength of Qian and Wang, there is no way they can make a difference.
At that time, both the Qian family and the Wang family will crawl at his feet, paving the way for the battle between emperor and son~~
When the time comes, we must have a good chat with Wang Shouzhe. He is a talented person, and once he is brought under his command, it will be of great benefit to the future.
…
At the same time, the two ancestors of the Zuoqiu family, who had left the restaurant and took the "Jade-clawed Egret" flying chariot on their way back, were also discussing what had just happened.
Zuoqiu Zhenghua's expression was serious and his tone was slightly dissatisfied: "Grandpa Zeng, with this plan, Mr. Ce made it clear that he wanted our Zuoqiu family to be his pawns and use us to deal with the Longzuo Qian family. I'm afraid this matter will not go away.
It's so simple. Let's not tell whether what happened back then is true or false. I'm afraid it's just a pretext, and he must have other plans."
"You're right. What happened back then was just a pretext. At this point, the truth is actually not that important anymore." Zuoqiu Deye nodded in agreement, "He wouldn't have the leisure and leisure to come here to help us Zuoqiu.
In my opinion, he is either eyeing the caravan in the hands of the Qian family, or he is eyeing the area in Longzuo County."
"This is to pave the way for the battle between emperor and son, and also to plan for his future path as a son."
However, he and Zuoqiu Zhenghua were both members of the Purple Mansion who had lived for hundreds of years, so naturally they would not just look at the surface when looking at problems.
The dispute between aristocratic families is always a struggle for interests.
If the Zuoqiu family hadn't had thoughts about the Cao family's shipping caravan, when Cao Bangning asked people to come over to sue for peace, he would have signaled Zuoqiu Junming to agree instead of continuing to entangle with the Cao family.
After all, there are many geniuses among the Cao family. Although Zuoqiu Qingyun's performance was not bad after he got the opportunity, his life is not that precious.
It is not in the interest of the Zuoqiu family as a whole to fight with another Zifu family for so many years because of him.
And now that Gong Yangce has come forward in person, the plan behind it has become clear.
"Then what should our family do? Is it possible that we really want to take action against the Longzuo Qian family?" Zuoqiu Zhenghua asked, "The Longzuo Qian family is not an ordinary fifth-grade family. Their caravan has been expanding over the years. Moreover,
In addition to the grain that our family specializes in supplying the capital, nearly one-third of the remaining grain transportation and external sales business is completed in cooperation with the Qian family. If we take action, grain sales will inevitably be affected."
As for the Changning Wang family, in his opinion, it was just incidental, so naturally he would not mention it much.
Zuoqiu Deye naturally understood what he was worried about and said: "Master Ce decided this situation and made it clear that he did not really want to kill the Qian family, but had other motives. Don't worry too much, we will just act according to the plan.
.As for the dispute between the emperor and his son, haha~ At present, they are just using each other, and our Zuoqiu family can't talk about taking refuge."
He has been the first ancestor for so many years and has seen a lot of strife between aristocratic families, so he is naturally familiar with the tricks involved. If you seriously want to bring down a noble family, you must definitely start from the foundation of the other party's lifeline.
The strategy devised by Gongyang is not so much about cutting off its foundations as it is about applying pressure.
This will not have much impact on the future cooperation between the Zuoqiu family and the Qian family. After all, as long as there is no mortal enemy between the aristocratic families, no one will be at odds with Qian.
Moreover, Gong Yangce’s plan does not require too much manpower and material resources.
Zuoqiu was acting according to his plan this time. He could not only gain face by selling him, but also take revenge for being teased. It could be said to be a sure-profit deal, and he would naturally not refuse it.
It's just a pity that Cao's shipping caravan...
Zuoqiu Deye sighed, and then he remembered the death of Zuoqiu Qingyun, and the various criticisms Zuoqiu had received over the years because of Zuoqiu Qingyun.
He couldn't help but sneered: "Since the Qian family didn't give us Zuoqiu family face at the beginning, we don't need to save face for them this time. I want to see, under the joint sanctions between us and the Cao family, what can the Qian family do?"
How long will it last?"
…
After more than a month.
Longzuo County Chang Ningwei Ping'an Town.
Fifteen years have passed in the blink of an eye since Wang Shouzhe obtained the Wuji Treasure Pill from Monan and returned to Changning to open up wasteland for the Wang family.
Even the famous "Shouzhe Pass" has been completed for five years.
In the past fifteen years, although the Wang family has been busy, their overall life has been peaceful, and the family momentum has been growing.
With the endorsement of major aristocratic families, a large number of people migrated continuously into "Xin'an Town". Under the planning, one piece of wasteland after another was cultivated into fertile farmland in an orderly manner, forming vast farms with crisscrossing roads.
Semi-natural and semi-artificial rivers and ditches connect farms and villages. They can not only solve the domestic water needs of tenant farmers, but also solve irrigation problems and increase crop yields.
As we all know, if there is no reliable and long-term water source, the farmland created from wasteland will have to rely on the weather and cannot be called fertile farmland.
The Wang family in Changning built embankments, built river channels, built gates, set up water dragons in Ping'an Town, and even developed a mature technology for diverting water into terraced fields. The use and control of water has always been a top priority, and there is no room for sloppiness.
.
Even at the beginning of land reclamation, the Wang family had a comprehensive and unified plan for the rivers, ditches, gates, irrigation facilities and flood control facilities in Xin'an Town. Although such land reclamation consumes a lot of money in the early stage, it can affect the next hundred years and several years.
Hundreds of years of development.
Just when the Wang family was busy up and down.
On the contrary, as the head of the family, Wang Shouzhe is more leisurely. There are more and more talents in the family, and the young people have matured one by one, so naturally there is no need for him to do everything.
Therefore, Wang Shouzhe only needs to practice cultivation every day, plant flowers, and then play with his grandchildren.
At this time, Wang Shouzhe, wearing a loose and comfortable robe, lived in his small courtyard.
The simple and elegant spring plum blossoms have half-opened buds like a sixteen-year-old girl, half-covered and secretly exhaling a light fragrance. In the open space among the flowers, Wang Shouzhe was lying comfortably on the Taishi chair, drinking a pot of Yunwu Ling tea.
Enjoying the crisp sunshine of early spring.
Several young children gathered around his knees, beating his legs or squeezing his shoulders, while they all looked at him eagerly.
"Speaking of which, the white-bone spirit refused to give up, and transformed into an old lady, crying and shouting: "Daughter, my poor son, where are you?... Monster, where are you going! Wukong struck the head...
Tang Monk was horrified. How could you, a ferocious monkey, injure two innocent lives in a row? How can I tolerate you as a master? After that, he recited the tightening curse..." Wang Shouzhe vividly told the story of three dozen white-bone spirits.
When he got to the exciting part, he stopped abruptly.
A teenage boy, fair and clean, will definitely be a handsome man in the future. At this moment, his black and white eyes were widened: "Grandpa, that Tang Monk is so unreasonable. Wukong killed the monster to protect him.
, but he wants to recite the curse to harm Wukong. Damn it, he is really a big idiot who doesn’t know right from wrong~"
"So, Zhao'er, you are the young patriarch. If you want to take on a big responsibility in the future, you must first learn to distinguish right from wrong." Wang Shouzhe smiled and patted his head fondly.
It is said that Wang Shouzhe dotes on his grandson Wang Wangzhao far more than his son Wang Zongan.
"Grandpa, grandpa, don't listen to my brother's nonsense." A six or seven-year-old little girl shook Wang Shouzhe's arm vigorously and said, "Go on, go on, what happened to Wukong? Wasn't it three dozen white-bone spirits...
I’ve only been beaten twice. Also, the tight-band spell is a really good thing. If I want one, I must put it on my brother, so that he can obey me obediently.”
This little girl's name is Wang Yingting. She is only seven years old and is Wang Shouzhe's eldest granddaughter.
Her brother Wang Guangzhao rolled his eyes at her angrily: "If you want to put a tight spell on me, I will beat you to death with a stick."
"Grandpa, my brother is bullying me~" the little girl Wang Yingting pouted, not to be outdone, and complained to her face.
"Wang Yingting, I think you are a white-bone demon who framed good people."
Then, the two brothers and sisters started arguing.
"Okay, shut up." Another teenage girl on the side rolled her eyes and said, "Wang Wangzhao, Wang Yingting, one of you is twelve years old and the other is seven years old, can you stop being so childish?"
"Yes, little aunt." Wang Guangzhao and Wang Yingting both agreed honestly. There was no way they could do it, they were a generation behind Wang Lijue, so they had to be honest when being trained, even though she was one year younger than Wang Lijue.
After training his niece and nephew, Wang Lijue hugged Wang Shouzhe's neck and started acting coquettishly: "Dad, I want to hear the story about Sun Monkey causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace~"
"Okay, okay, come down here." Wang Shouzhe grabbed her down angrily, "You are already eleven years old. You are not allowed to get into daddy's arms anymore. When your Aunt Luoqiu was eleven, she
We are already preparing to kill gods and Buddhas."
While Wang Shouzhe was accompanying the children.
In the square outside the Wang family's main gate, a group of knights galloped in from a distance.
Among them, the knight running at the front was riding a horse that was as red as fire, with muscles as smooth as silk, and white hooves. It was the famous spiritual stallion "Fire Steps on White Clouds".
This horse is so agile and smart that it can walk on even ground even on some rugged mountain roads. If it is on high-quality grassland or a flat road, it can travel 150 miles in half an hour.
However, such a good horse also has a disadvantage, that is, it is too expensive. A quality "Fire Stepping on White Clouds" often costs tens of thousands of gold. The concentrated feed that is usually fed must also be beans that are rich in spiritual energy.
, spiritual herbs, and a small amount of spiritual meat.
I think back then, Wang Shouzhe rode a horse of fire across the white clouds to marry his bride Liu Ruolan, and it was a glorious sight.
Now more than thirty years have passed.
The Wang family's ranch, located to the north of Changningwei, has also successfully mastered the breeding and raising technology of Fire Stepping on Baiyun. But even with the Wang family's excellent spiritual beans, spiritual grass and other food, it has now successfully cultivated a fire horse. It would take ten years to ride a white cloud horse and cost thousands of gold.
Therefore, even if the Wang family has ample financial conditions, not everyone can ride on fire and ride on white clouds.
As the knight arrived in front of the gatehouse, he dismounted and turned out to be a handsome young man from an aristocratic family. He was only about eighteen or nineteen years old, but he was extremely tall. He was equipped with sword boots and a sword hanging from his back. He was very young for his age. Lightly, the profound energy is thick and the foundation is extraordinary.
This son is Wang Zongrui, the second son of the contemporary head of the family, Wang Shouzhe.
The other two slightly older young people traveling with him were also very handsome and tall, with calm and confident expressions between their brows. They were Wang Zongming, the son of Wang Shouyong, and Wang Zongping, the son of Wang Shoulian, both of whom were the same age. Twenty-one years old.
The three of them are about the same age and have a deep affection for each other. They often work together. However, although Wang Zongrui is young, he is the second son of the contemporary generation, so he is usually the leader of the three.
After that, there is a team of seven or eight family generals.
Wang Xin, the captain of the rotating family guarding the Wang family's gate, hurriedly came forward and said, "I have seen the tenth young master, the eighth young master, and the ninth young master." He waved his hand, and several generals came forward to lead their horses and place them.
"Brother Xin, let's share it with your brothers to buy wine." Wang Zongming took out a small bag of large copper and threw it to the team leader Wang Xin. He said with a smile, "Master Zongrui's horse has a bad temper and wants to be alone. Placement.”
"Many thanks to the young masters for the wine appreciation." Wang Xin said with a smile, "I heard that the young masters went to the Izumo Guard? It was a spring breeze and a reward. It seemed that they had gained a lot and the task was completed. It went very smoothly.”
"However, if you young masters go to the Izumo Guard together to do business, wouldn't that harm the girls from the local aristocratic families? Once I see the charm of you several, I will be very lovesick."
This Wang Xin was born in a side line of the Wang family, and had been trained in the key family general sequence since he was a child. Now he is already at the eighth level of Qi Refining Realm under the age of thirty, and will probably be a Lingtai Realm family general in the future.
Therefore, Wang Xin's status is not low, and he can make fun of several young masters of the Wang family.
Today's branch of the Wang family is very impressive. From the initial number of more than a thousand people, it has now grown to more than eight thousand people.
A considerable number of these descendants have migrated from Longzuo in recent decades. Especially in the past ten years, they have migrated to Xin'an Town and opened up wasteland, which has greatly alleviated the population shortage of the Wang family in Changning.
The collateral lines also have their own genealogy, and each person has well-documented records, making it easier to investigate secretly. Therefore, it has brought many reliable generals, stewards and other talents to the Changning Wang family.
"Brother Xin, don't talk nonsense." Wang Zongping scolded with a smile, "We brothers are here to do things and gain experience, not to attract bees and butterflies. If this is spread to the ears of the fourth uncle, it will cause misunderstanding, and it will be difficult to protect the family.
Serve.”
bury the dead and return to the dead.
But there was a hint of lingering pride in Wang Zongping's eyes. Today, the Changning Wang family is not only respected among the six southern guards of Longzuo County, but their reputation is now well-known throughout Longzuo County.
The Wang family is not only rich and powerful, but also pays great attention to the cultivation of the younger generation. Take Wang Zongping, a direct descendant, for example, his training standards are far higher than those of the direct descendants of the seventh-grade family.
Spirit-enlightening pills, blood-tempering pills, and a marrow-cleansing pill are the minimum standard for disciples of the direct lineage of the Wang family. The training before the age of sixteen is based on the treatment of the seventh-grade family for cultivating the celestial race.
After the age of sixteen, as long as you follow the elders to learn and work hard to improve yourself, you can continuously obtain high-quality cultivation resources, which are better than those of the celestial beings from the seventh-grade family.
The future of life points directly to the realm of heaven and man.
With such treatment, not to mention the seventh-grade aristocratic family or the sixth-grade aristocratic family, even the direct descendants of the fifth-grade aristocratic family are far inferior to them. Because although the fifth-grade aristocratic family is richer, there are too many direct descendants in each generation.
There are only a few kittens like Wang's, so they all look precious.
When such people go out, they are all handsome and handsome, with profound cultivation and solid foundation, and their future is far from limitless. It is no wonder that those ladies from the aristocratic families of the seventh, eighth and ninth grades can't help but admire them and marry into the direct lineage of the Wang family.
, is no less than an outstanding straight lineage marrying into the Zifu family.
In today's world.
Whenever the young descendants of the Wang family dare to appear in the blind date market, they will be robbed. The initial match will be at least a direct descendant of a heavenly family.
Not to mention a legitimate daughter like Wang Zongrui, whose training and treatment are based on the genius. According to the current development and prosperity of the Wang family, she must be at least the legitimate daughter of a powerful sixth-grade family, or a legitimate daughter of a fifth-grade family.
Might be worthy of him.
But even so, everyone in the Wang family will not gossip. Because everyone knows that without the head of the family, Wang Shouzhe, and without the strength of the direct lineage, how could the Wang family be as prosperous as it is today?
Due to various factors, how could the younger generation of the Wang family not be confident? However, under the influence of Wang's good tutoring and the reward and punishment system, they are all proud but not domineering, and have many etiquette and rules.
A few young people chatted and laughed, then went to the family treasure pavilion and communicated with the weapon spirit "Xiaoxue". After confirming that they had completed the task, they received a family contribution value.
Just when they were about to disperse, each looking for his mother.
Suddenly.
The secret room of the Treasure Pavilion was suddenly opened, and a graceful woman walked out. After the woman smiled lightly at the young masters, she walked away to the middle of the main house.
Wang Zongrui and other young masters were all dumbfounded, with shock and disbelief on their faces. They looked at each other, this, this, this, is this a ghost?
There is no other reason.
The woman was tall and tall, with slender legs. Her azure hair was tied back into long twin tails, and her hair was so long that it almost reached the ground. In addition, she wore a pair of stockings on her slender legs, with the left side black
The one on the right is white, so it is called "black and white combination".
I want to ask how these young masters know...it's just because the family weapon spirit is dressed like this, and they have been influenced by it since childhood, how could they not know it?
What made them tremble the most was that the woman had a pair of big watery eyes, long eyelashes, pointed ears, a tapered chin, red cheeks and white skin. She looked like [Qi Ling Xiaoxue], who suddenly came to life.
"Zong, Zong Rui, am I wrong?" Wang Zongping was shaken, his face full of horror, "Xiao, Xiaoxue is alive!"
"Ding dong~ Masters, she is not Xiaoxue." Suddenly, the image of Xiaoxue from the Treasure Pavilion appeared again, and she said in a faint voice, "Look carefully, her legs are not as long as mine, and some parts are not as upturned as mine.
There... he's not as big as me... huh, he's just an annoying imitator."
"Then who is she?" Wang Zongrui and others asked.
"Ding dong~ The identity inquiry is in progress, the identity confidentiality level is top secret! I'm sorry, young masters, there is only one person in the Wang family who has the authority to inquire about her identity, and that is the head of the family, Wang Shouzhe."
"So mysterious? Only the head of the family knows?"
Wang Zongrui and others looked at each other, their expressions suddenly serious. All kinds of bad speculations suddenly came to mind~
After counting the interest.
"This, something big is going to happen." Wang Zongming said in a trembling voice, "It turns out that Xiaoxue was not fabricated out of thin air, but was processed by original art... What should I do if my fourth aunt knows about this?"
"Bago...you mean...she has come to your door?" Wang Zongping's expression also changed greatly, "Something bad has happened, the family is in crisis. Come on, Zongrui, go and invite the ancestors. In this situation now, there is only
My ancestors can settle it."
"This is about to start a fight again, and this time is different from the past. This is real action!"
"Brother Ninth, I'd better trouble you to invite the ancestor..." Wang Zongrui gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "I, I will risk my life to save my father first."
At the same time, he trembled in his heart and groaned. Dad, you must control yourself and control yourself. It is too difficult for me, Wang Zongrui, to have such a pair of parents.
