Chapter 86 The emperor is coming to the Wang family!
…
Wu Xuening was speechless and rolled her eyes secretly.
This is obviously due to the fact that in the past few decades, the emperor's son has been conscientiously handling every issue since he was in charge of the country. While the country's power is increasing, the ancestors have nothing to do.
No, when our ancestors were extremely bored, they began to be jealous of all kinds. Especially towards the head of the Shouzhe family, they kept thinking about him. In short, they were dissatisfied with him in various ways.
"Also, Xuening, you and Anye seem to be in contact quite frequently. You have to pay attention to your identity. It won't be long before Yiluo and Anye are going to get married." Emperor Longchang said with a serious face, "We Wu
It is already a great honor for the Wang family to marry a princess to the Wang family, so please do not give me another one."
Wu Xuening blushed all of a sudden, paused and said: "Grandpa, what are you talking nonsense about? An Ye and I, we have nothing. We are just friends, and it is normal for us to communicate with each other."
According to seniority, Emperor Longchang was her grandfather. However, this time when he was away from home, the emperor had to pretend to be a "commoner". He didn't look particularly old, so it was safer to call him grandpa.
What left Wu Xuening speechless the most was that Grandpa Ancestor said this was a private visit incognito, but in fact he was just playing. From Qing'an County to Lingbei County, he was basically playing the trick of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.
Whenever I see something unfair or unhappy, either Lao Yao will be asked to touch the porridge, or Wu Xuening will be asked to use it as bait. Then, he will use some broken noodles to lure the other party to reveal his true colors step by step, and use some dirty methods to deal with it.
Persecute the "weak", and then at the most critical moment, he suddenly makes a reversal and completely reverses the situation.
Every time after he revealed his identity as the Great Emperor, he felt so happy when he saw the bad guys who were causing trouble were scared to death and cried and begged for mercy.
I simply enjoy it.
Along the way, in just a few months, Grandpa Ancestor has dealt with five evil forces called the "local tyrants", the Xuanwu Family, eight city guards, and even the county guard of Lingbei County.
was implicated.
Grandpa Ancestor famously said: Anyway, I am idle. It is just a good time to inspect the environment of grassroots aristocratic families that are usually out of reach, to clean up the cancers of aristocratic families in various places for "Emperor Zi'an", and to give full play to the residual light and residual heat of the past emperor.
.
But Wu Xuening privately heard the old grandfather and old Yao say: "Old Yao, I feel that my life has been in vain. It turns out that private interviews in private are so interesting, and it is so refreshing to win over a pig and eat a tiger. No wonder Wang Shouzhe, as long as he has some strength, he can
He hides it, and buys all kinds of interest-collecting treasures to pretend to be weak. Love is also very good~"
"The leader of the evil forces in the world must be Wang Shouzhe. So on my last stop, I must go and meet Wang Shouzhe."
This made Wu Xuening dumbfounded.
I don’t know what kind of excessive things the head of the Shouzhe family did to my grandfather. He actually made my grandfather never leave the head of the Shouzhe family, and it was probably not a good thing. The resentment almost overflowed.
The river boat goes down the river very fast.
In just half a day, we arrived at the intersection of Anjiang and Dahuangze.
Since ancient times, Anjiang and Dahuangze have been inseparable from each other. You and I are connected. Every year during the rainy season, a large amount of water flows into Dahuangze, making Dahuangze look like a vast ocean.
During the dry season every year, the water in the Great Wasteland will gradually dry up, forming a giant swamp wetland environment.
However, Wang Shouzhe's Anjiang management plan also included the Dahuangze management and development plan. Following the natural curve of the Anjiang River, he built a giant embankment that was hundreds of miles long, forcibly isolating Anjiang from the Dahuangze.
Then, several giant gates were built in the river embankment to artificially control the water from Anjiang River to flow into Dahuangze.
besides.
Wang Shouzhe and Taishi Ankang also summoned hundreds of thousands of civilians, recruited a large number of masters from aristocratic families, and even mobilized part of the army to carry out large-scale dredging and excavation of the Great Wasteland, build embankments, and build embankments on the embankments.
A large number of trees were planted in order to greatly increase the water storage capacity of the Great Wasteland.
Moreover, this plan cannot be completed in just ten or eight years, or even a hundred years is short.
Emperor Longchang did not agree with this extremely huge plan that wasted money on people and money. If he had so much energy, it would be better to open up more wasteland. If he had so much money, it would be better to attack southern Xinjiang and create a county.
When he thought of Southern Xinjiang, Emperor Longchang's face became a little ugly again.
Southern Xinjiang has always been a thorn in his side, a small blemish on his thousands-year "perfect emperor career".
It was originally thought that after the emperor An An took charge of the country, he would immediately launch a plan to conquer southern Xinjiang, so as to silence the public and allow those royal families and aristocratic families who thought the Emperor An came to power by "luck" to take a closer look at his methods.
.By the way, it can also remove the thorn in the heart of this great emperor, and abdicate perfectly with good merits.
As a result, plans came and went, and they are still being planned to this day. Gradually, no one mentioned the conquest of southern Xinjiang.
Is it possible that Emperor Longchang should be allowed to leave with this thorn in his heart and regret?
It must be Wang Shouzhe's guy who is doing it secretly. He must be jealous that I have given him small shoes several times, so he secretly encouraged Emperor Zi'an to delay the southern Xinjiang conquest plan.
What kind of mentality does An have?
This is just trying to put on my little shoes~~~It’s really against him~!
Emperor Longchang, who was full of thoughts in his heart, looked at the huge embankment that separated Anjiang from Dahuangze in the distance. He put his hands behind his back and sneered, saying: "The layout of Wang Shouzhe's guy is as bad as his chess game. He only looks at it.
They are focused on the one-third of an acre of land in front of them and are not good at long-term operations. This vast wasteland development plan is a fool's errand. It seems to be able to curb some floods in the middle and lower reaches of Anjiang River, but in fact the investment far exceeds the output, and the cost-effectiveness is extremely low.
There is a risk of offending that old monster in the Southern Wilderness."
"Once that old monster gets mad, I'll see how Wang Shouzhe ends up."
After saying this, Emperor Longchang couldn't help but feel happy.
It is indeed very satisfying to point out the country and talk from the perspective of a bystander. This is what Wang Shouzhe did in the past. He always liked to comment on national policies and discuss the emperor's affairs, which made him unhappy.
Now, when Emperor Longchang complained about the flaws in his strategy, he discovered that being a troll also had the benefits of being a troll, mainly because it felt good. Especially when he criticized Wang Shouzhe, many of his words came from
I learned this from Wang Shouzhe’s words, such as long-term operations, development plans, extremely low cost performance, etc.
This is called "treating others in their own way", and Wang Shouzhe needs to have a good taste of being sprayed in front of his face.
But just when Emperor Longchang was feeling happy, someone next to him snorted coldly: "I have lived for one hundred and thirty years, and I have heard countless things about cowhide in my life, but you can blow it so fresh and refined like yours, it smells so bad."
Shameless, it’s really rare.”
The speaker was an old man in rich clothes not far away.
Emperor Longchang had a straight face, turned around and looked at the old man in fine clothes, and said arrogantly: "I'm talking about national affairs. What do you, a little old man, know?"
How dare a little guy over a hundred years old show off his old age in front of his great emperor?
If Emperor Longchang had the previous temper, he would have been shocked and would have habitually used the power of the emperor to suppress him.
However, private interviews in incognito have its own interesting aspects. Others do not know that you are the emperor, and you can easily hear things that others did not dare to say in front of him before.
At that time, you can rely on your true talents and practical skills to convince the other party.
Only then can you show your true ability~
"Although I am not a big shot, I am also the owner of this 'Dingjiang'." The old man said with a sneer, "I have never done anything big in my life. I am just a small casual practitioner who has witnessed Changning.
The Wang family has grown from a small ninth-grade family to its current peak, and has experienced an unprecedented miracle."
"If you are just bragging, you are just talking about others. But you say that the head of the Shouzhe family does not understand long-term planning and only cares about immediate interests. I really cannot agree with it. Not only me, but also the thousands of people whose destiny has been changed because of this.
, would not agree."
"A bad old man like you who has lived for a long time and still doesn't understand the ins and outs of things can only work as a foot trader when he gets old, which is just a drag on the younger generations."
"What? How dare you call me a bad old man?!"
Emperor Longchang's face was as black as iron. Just when he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to exchange a few words with this "old troll", he was stopped by Lao Yao and Wu Xuening.
"Grandpa, we are on someone else's boat now. Please bear with it for the time being. It will be bad if you are kicked off." Wu Xuening, with black lines on her head, quickly tried to persuade her softly.
In the past, she always respected her grandfather. On the one hand, it was because he was very kind to her. On the other hand, she also thought that his grandfather was very powerful. He seemed to know everything and could handle everything. But now...
Forget it, just don’t mention it.
With such a big commotion on their side, other people on the ship naturally noticed it. Not only the old man in brocade clothes, but also the other traveling merchants looked at Emperor Longchang with disdain and started talking among themselves in private.
"This is really a person with high ambitions and low abilities. Even the head of the Shouzhe family doesn't take him seriously."
"His temperament is quite good. He should have been a pampered man. He probably just lost his family and doesn't have time to do some business to support his family."
"Sigh~ There are many people in the world who talk about being invincible, but when they actually do something practical, they look confused."
"This old prodigal son should go to Ping'an Town and Xin'an Town and take a closer look. See how the Shouzhe family leader manages the family and how he leads everyone to become rich together."
"Are you out of date? Ping'an Town has been completely demolished and has become the main homestead of the Wang family. The current population is mainly concentrated in newly opened places such as Xin'an Town, Xinping Town, Wanghai Town, and Dongxia Town."
"Even the original Dingpu Ferry has become Wang's private commercial ferry. Travelers can do business, but without special circumstances, they are not allowed to enter the Wang family's main residence. Imagine walking all the way from Dingpu Ferry to
It is impossible to reach Zhouxuan Pass through Wang's inner residence."
"However, the Wang family built a new ferry in Xinping Town, called Xinping Ferry, which replaced most of the functions of the original Dingpu Ferry. The destination of our ship, the Dingjiang, this time is Xinping Ferry."
Although Emperor Longchang was so angry at the complaints from the common people that he almost got angry, he still endured it in the end.
This group of people are just low-level casual cultivators. It would be too embarrassing for him, a great emperor, to fall out with them over such a quarrel.
but.
Emperor Longchang did get some useful information, including how Ping'an Town had become Wang's private residence, and how former civilians had been moved to Xinping Town and Xin'an Town.
These are the places where corruption and problems are most likely to arise in aristocratic families.
In the past few months, Emperor Longchang had dealt with several aristocratic families that had oppressed the common people too much and made the local people miserable.
If it is not too excessive, just impose a fine and order rectification. If it makes the people resentful and makes people miserable, Emperor Longchang will inevitably show his majesty and thunderous wrath.
According to the emperor's estimate, Wang Shouzhe would not degenerate to the point of bullying the common people, but he would not, but it does not mean that every executor below would not operate in secret.
Even he, the great emperor, cannot possibly ensure that every official under his command is free from corruption and every employee does his job with all his heart, let alone that young boy like Wang Shouzhe?
Therefore, he didn't expect to find any big problem, that is, he just wanted to grab Wang Shouzhe's pigtails, make a fuss about it, and give him some shoes.
Let him know the majesty and ability of the great emperor, and stop looking down on him all day long, looking down on this, looking down on that...
For a moment, Emperor Longchang's mood rose again. He wished he could reach the Xinping Ferry immediately and find out Wang Shouzhe's mistakes.
The cargo ship "Dingjiang" sailed down the river at a very fast speed. After just a few days, it stopped at Xinping Ferry.
Xinping Ferry is only a few dozen miles away from the entrance to the sea and has only been officially in operation for more than ten years. Because it is a newly built ferry, it is full of Wang's ingenious and ingenious design, leaving enough space for future development.
The ferry is very large and luxurious, and can accommodate many ships at the same time. Many large docks and shipyards have even been built next to it for ship repairs.
The warehouses at the port are endless and endless.
Even Emperor Longchang couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this scene, what a prosperous Xinping Ferry.
There are probably no less than hundreds of ships coming and going here every day.
"Grandpa, look, those boats look so weird, with big bellies and round waists, and strange wheels on both sides." Wu Xuening suddenly noticed a few boats slowly coming from the other direction, and suddenly felt novel and full of it.
Face excited.
"That is Wang's large paddle wheel offshore cargo ship. It can make up for the lack of sail power when the wind direction is wrong to ensure the timeliness of sea transportation." Seeing the little girl looking like a curious baby, someone next to her smiled and said, "Except
In addition to these paddle-wheel cargo ships, the Wang family also has armored hidden ships and small speedboats, each of which has its own unique uses. I heard that it is a ship that combines pneumatic power and formation."
"I know that." Wu Xuening suddenly remembered, "Anye told me before that water vapor will be produced when water is boiled. Utilizing the water vapor can produce strong and long-lasting power~"
"Anye also said that Wang's research department has been developing water vapor power. He is also very interested in this. After graduating from ethnology, he stayed in that R&D department for several years."
Seeing her calm down, Emperor Longchang's face became more and more unhappy, and at the same time he was also a little frightened.
So far, there has been no precedent for two princesses marrying the same person in the royal family.
Don't let anyone mess it up and let Wang Shouzhe take advantage of it.
Half an hour later, Emperor Longchang's face became even more ugly.
Because it was the first time for the three of them to come to Wang's territory and they had never applied for Wang's internal passes, they naturally had to be questioned and interrogated by relevant personnel.
Moreover, because Emperor Longchang did not cooperate with the inquiry and Lao Yao secretly tried to pay bribes, the three of them were almost deported as blind refugees.
Just when Emperor Longchang was so angry that he was about to reveal his identity and said, "I won't play anymore, I'm going to show off my cards, let Wang Shouzhe come over and have an audience." The owner of the "Dingjiang" saw this scene and came over
He reluctantly gave them a guarantee.
Knowing that they were not familiar with the Changning Guard, the owner of the "Dingjiang" simply led them out of the gate and briefly explained to them the various rules of the Wang family along the way, so as to prevent them from being blind and breaking out again.
What disaster is coming?
After leaving the customs, without waiting for Lao Yao to express his gratitude, the owner of Dingjiang patted Emperor Longchang on the shoulder and sighed: "Old brother, I took a risk by guaranteeing you. In Wang's jurisdiction
Within the scope, you must not violate laws and disciplines and trap me in it."
Emperor Longchang's eyes widened.
Good guy~ How many years has it been? How many years has it been since no one dared to tap him on the shoulder?
But before he could finish being shocked, the owner of the "Dingjiang" said earnestly: "Old brother, why are you staring? Your family has fallen into disgrace, and you don't know how to curb your bad temper. You will suffer in the future.
Yes. I also saw that it was not easy for you to go out to run a business at your age, so I took care of you and gave you a few words. If it were anyone else, you might not be as kind as me."
As he said that, he estimated Emperor Longchang's cultivation level, and then encouraged him: "However, I think you are also a Lingtai realm monk, and you are considered a talent. Now that the Wang family is prospering, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will eventually succeed.
We can still unite the family."
"Who told you that my family is in ruins? My family is doing well~" Emperor Longchang clasped his hands behind his back and said angrily, "Also, I will show you how to break the law and discipline. I will give you a vivid lesson.
Teach you never to vouch for others casually in the future, maybe I am still a spy~~"
Wu Xuening on the side held her forehead and turned away, not wanting to recognize this ancestor.
I'm kind enough to vouch for you, but you really want to deceive me? Grandpa, the older you get, the younger you get, the more you live your life as you please.
"Haha, you can't." The owner of the "Dingjiang" laughed, "Although you have a bad temper and look like you are always tired of doing things, you are not a bad person at heart, and you are even less likely to be a spy. I travel all over the world.
For more than a hundred years, I arrested many spies and wanted criminals for the Wang family in Ping'an Town. My eyes are very good at seeing people."
Damn it!
Emperor Longchang rolled his eyes angrily.
If you want to judge people accurately, why didn't you realize that I am a great emperor? Why didn't you realize that Wang Shouzhe was a treacherous person who seemed to be kind?
"Okay, I'm busy too. The three of you will look for opportunities in Xinping Town. If that doesn't work, you can also join Wang's engineering team to do odd jobs. The wages you can get in Lingtai realm are quite a lot." "Dingjiang Hao."
"The master patted his shoulder again, gave him a few instructions, and then walked away, "If you really encounter any difficulties, just call me by my name."
"My name is 'Eastern Sky'."
Eastern sky?
Emperor Longchang's expression froze.
Is it now popular among the lower classes of Daqian Country to have such outrageous names? And that old man, how many times did that old man pat me on the shoulder?
"Master, this Xinping Ferry is huge, just like a small city." Old Yao said, "Let's find an inn to stay first, and then we can plan the next step."
"Yes. Let's stay here first and then slowly find fault with Wang Shouzhe." Emperor Longchang nodded in approval.
"Grandpa, the master of Shouzhe's family is quite good, so why do you always have trouble with him?" Wu Xuening couldn't stand it anymore and pouted.
"He's a nice person? Girl Xuening, don't fall for the Wang family's poison." Emperor Longchang retorted, "Look at him, he has to check here and there when entering the family's territory, and he is issued a temporary pass alone.
Just like a country within a country, what are you planning to do? Close the door and proclaim yourself the emperor of your own family? Humph, these ambitious people."
Then.
Emperor Longchang began to find faults and make mistakes in the Wang family's territory.
First, find fault with those migrants.
"Uncle, I heard that your ancestors have been residents of Ping'an Town for generations. Did you feel any grievances during the demolition process? Were you forced to demolish? You can tell me if you have any dissatisfaction."
"Aggrieved? I've been compensated five times the price. How can I be aggrieved? Your house was demolished? Let me tell you, you have to be conscientious. Wang is so kind to others, so you can't bully them."
"Hey, hey, hey, old guy, are you a spy? Who doesn't know that Wang's demolition and replacement is extremely wealthy, and all the demolished households are extremely rich."
Emperor Longchang asked several people in succession and all had similar answers. It was not until he asked a careless middle-aged man that he heard a different answer: "Grieved? I am. I am so wronged~! Mr. Wang is so cheating.
Yes, my home was demolished and 20 acres of farmland were confiscated."
"Come on, come on, if you have any questions, just tell me, no, tell me." Emperor Longchang suddenly became excited.
After struggling for so long, I finally caught Wang's sore foot.
"Of course I'm wronged. The Wang family is only willing to compensate our family 4,000 yuan, or replace it with 300 acres of farmland and a house in Xinping Town." The man shouted, "I want to report them. The Wang family is bullying the common people.
.”
Emperor Longchang's face darkened: "So much is not enough? How much compensation do you have to pay?"
"At least 20,000 dry gold must be paid, or a thousand acres of farmland must be replaced."
"roll!"
Emperor Longchang kicked the ruffian away.
The three emperors of Longchang worked separately and secretly visited many demolition households, but they never found an answer that satisfied him. Instead, they felt Wang's kindness and humanity in the demolition process again and again.
There were only a handful of people who had opinions against the Wang family, but they were all unruly people that even Emperor Longchang couldn't help but want to beat up. They couldn't be counted at all.
Their actions also alerted the Wang family's internal defense mechanism.
Soon, the arresting team surrounded the restaurant where they lived.
Emperor Longchang was naturally unwilling to be caught, so he used the power of Lingxu Realm to quietly tear open a crack in space and "escaped" to the territory of Ping'an Town, leaving Lao Yao and Wu Xuening alone looking at each other.
Are they running away or not?
That's all~ Let's just go ahead and capture him, I really don't want to mess around with the emperor anymore.
Not to mention that Lao Yao and Wu Xuening were arrested over there, but here, the unwilling Emperor Longchang came to the Wang clan to learn.
He had already found out the location of the Wang Clan Academy. Originally, if they had not been "arrested", their next stop would be the Wang Clan Academy.
Wang Clanology is a place with mixed reviews.
Some people say it is a "Holy Land", while others say it is "Purgatory".
But whether it was a holy land or purgatory, Emperor Longchang wanted to see it with his "own eyes". After all, he had heard when he corresponded with the Wang family before that his five favorite little wolf cubs had been studying in the clan school.
go to school……
Thirty years have passed and it seems that I haven’t graduated yet.
He also wanted to see what kind of tricks the legendary Wang Clanology was doing.
It is certainly not difficult for a majestic emperor to sneak into the Wang clan academy like a sneak. After entering the clan academy, his huge spiritual mind moved slightly and he found the five little wolf cubs.
As soon as I saw those five wolf cubs... No, they can't be considered wolf cubs now, they should be considered semi-adults.
Thirty years have passed, and all five of them have now been promoted to the fifth level. Their bodies are much larger than then, and they are taller than a human when squatting down.
For a time, all kinds of memories came to mind, and there was a trace of nostalgia in the emperor's eyes.
"Huh?"
Emperor Longchang's expression suddenly changed, and he realized that they seemed to be being punished. They were all aggrieved, and were lining up to have Mr. Xuexue use a ruler to draw out the hearts of their claws.
"You five, you have been there for so many years, how can you still fail the graduation exam? It's okay if you fail, but you dare to cheat!" The elderly Mr. Ethnology looked angry, beating and scolding, with a rude tone.
"I'm so disappointed in you!"
Upon seeing this, an uncontrollable anger surged in Emperor Longchang's heart.
He ducked over with a "swish", stopped the ruler in Mr. Xuexue's hand, and said angrily: "Even I am not willing to beat them, but you old guy won't stop!"
Mr. Xue Xue was stunned at first, and then he retorted angrily: "Who are you, old guy? They are my students. If they make mistakes, they will be punished. Even the head of the Shouzhe family is not allowed to stop them at will."
The head of the Shouzhe family?
Emperor Longchang became even more angry when he heard this, and immediately cursed: "I was just trying to make trouble for him! You bring him to me. I have to ask him, why does he let people beat my little wolf cub?"
