looked stupidly at the cloth given by the Son of Heaven in his hand.

Yuan Guangguo squinted his eyes and sat cross-legged.

After a long time, he looked at his son Yuan Chang who was standing in front of him and asked, "Chang...... Do you know why Your Majesty gave this cloth to your father? ”

Yuan Chang lowered his head and shook his head.

"Think about it, what can a piece of cloth do?" Yuan Guangguo said softly.

Yuan Chang was still at a loss.

Yuan Guangguo looked at it, a little helpless.

A scribe standing beside Yuan Guangguo saw this, and hurriedly explained to Yuan Chang in a low voice: "Young master, Han cloth silk, two feet five inches wide, eight feet long, weighs twenty taels ......."

"The official government Pingjia is 350 to 400 yuan per horse......"

"Just enough to make a man to take a ......"

Yuan Chang listened, still didn't understand, and looked at his father suspiciously.

Seeing this, Yuan Guangguo shook his head and said, "Idiot! Don't you understand? ”

"Your Majesty gives you clothes!"

"The one who wears clothes, so he keeps out the cold and heat, so he covers the skin, so he enters the etiquette ......"

Yuan Chang heard this, if he didn't understand, he would be a fool.

He immediately danced excitedly and bowed to Yuan Guangguo: "Congratulations, my lord, I have made a long-cherished wish for many years, and I will succeed in one day!" ”

From then on, the Yuan family would be half of Liu's white gloves.

As long as you are obedient and sensible, you don't have to worry about one day a rider will crash into the door and steal the whole family.

Yuan Guangguo waved his hand, not as happy as he imagined.

Because he knows that this piece of cloth given by the Son of Heaven has another meaning.

It was something he had thought about for a long time to figure out.

It's a reward and a warning!

This is an encouragement, but also a beating!

If you are disobedient, then the reward can become a sword and poison that urges you to die.

If you don't know anything, encouragement will become a white silk who asks for your life!

Otherwise, why did the Son of Heaven give him a piece of cloth and silk without any other expression?

Why not give something else?

For example, the Liu family's favorite sword.

After 20 years of fighting in the shopping mall and more than 10 years in the officialdom, Yuan Guangguo naturally understands these metaphors.

It's just that I can't say it, not even to my son.

Because, as long as half a word is passed outside.

The Yuan family's death is approaching!

The king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't save it.

This is called slandering the king's father, and it is a capital crime of great disrespect!

Raising his eyes slightly, looking at his beloved son who still didn't know anything, Yuan Guangguo didn't know whether to worry or laugh.

The worry is that after a hundred years, this foolish son may no longer be able to maintain the wealth of the Yuan family today.

The laugh is that he may not be as rich as himself.

But I'm afraid it will be more powerful than myself!

Not to mention, the identity of Zhang Chiyou's eldest disciple is the best decoration.

It is enough for him to live a safe and worry-free life.

"That's it!" Yuan Guangguo sighed lightly: "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren!" ”

Thinking in his heart, Yuan Guangguo said to Yuan Chang: "Chang, you have also been for some time, haven't you gone to greet Zhang Shizhong......"

"A teacher for one day, a father for life!"

"I'm you, I've prepared gifts and a convoy, let's go to Xinfeng to greet the waiter earlier......"

"In the future, you will stay in Xinfeng and wait for your master's dispatch! Do you understand? ”

Yuan Chang listened to this, overjoyed, and immediately bowed down and said, "My son obeys the orders of adults!" ”

………………………………

With the convoy arranged by his father, Yuan Chang happily got into the carriage and embarked on the road to Xinfeng.

The convoy is huge, and the gifts are even more frightening.

But Yuan Chang didn't bother to care about these.

The son of the richest man in the empire has never had any concept of money.

He just wanted to fly to Xinfeng and see with his own eyes the appearance of the carriage worth tens of millions built by the teacher.

The old nest of the Yuan family is in Maoling City.

Maoling is also the nest of most of the rich and powerful in Guanzhong.

There is no way, Liu's national policy is to be strong and weak.

The key to strengthening the foundation and weakening the end lies in the relocation system.

The Son of Heaven in the past dynasties tirelessly migrated a large number of powerful and powerful, wealthy merchants, nobles, and scholars from Guanzhong, and even the whole world to Guanzhong's own imperial mausoleum, built cities and houses for them, and redistributed wealth and alleviated social contradictions under the banner of letting them guard the mausoleum by themselves.

The previous generation of the Yuan family was a wealthy family who moved from Jiangdu.

Speaking of which, the Yuan family is also able to have today because of being relocated.

Otherwise, how can Jiangdu, which is nested in the south, have today's wealth?

As soon as he went out, not long after, Yuan Chang's convoy collided head-on with another convoy.

"The young master is from the Tian family......" Xu Hui immediately reported.

"Tian family?" Yuan Chang frowned, and his temper was about to attack.

It's a pity that before he had time to attack, in the opposite convoy, a young man rode a horse, stepped forward, and smiled at Yuan Chang: "Brother Yuan is going to Xinfeng?" ”

As soon as Yuan Chang heard this person's voice, his eyebrows twisted.

Because the person who came was the person he hated the most.

Not even one of them!

Tian Ming, the sister-in-law of Tian Wenyuan, the contemporary head of the Guanzhong Haoqiang Tian family.

This person was Yuan Chang's nightmare.

It's not, Yuan Chang has suffered any losses under his hands, or has been suppressed by him.

But......

This person is a well-known young man in the entire Guanzhong, who has already started to take charge of many businesses of the Tian family independently when he is only in his twenties, and he is also in good order.

In the past, Yuan Guangguo often took Tian Ming to teach Yuan Chang a lesson.

"Why can't you learn from Erlang of the Tian family......"

"You have half the ability of Tian Jiajilang, and you can feel a lot more at ease as a father......"

"Why can't you be more sensible? Look at Tian Jia Erlang, who is not much different from you, he has been able to share his father's worries and do many things......"

How can this Yuan Chang like each other?

Just listening to his voice, I feel sick.

But that's all in the past!

Now, the roles of the two have been reversed.

Yuan Chang remembered that two months ago, on his father's birthday, the dignitaries and nobles of the entire Maoling came to congratulate him.

Among them are Tian Wenyuan's father and son.

Then......

The father proudly took his hand and solemnly introduced to the guests: "The dog Yuan Chang is stubborn, and I hope that all brothers and uncles will take care of ......."

Then, the attention of the whole audience was projected.

Tian Ming, who was once invincible, also came to him respectfully, gave his hands and made friends enthusiastically.

On that day, he became the center of everyone's attention.

Countless people who looked down on him and looked down on him in the past.

They are all trembling, and they are all jealous.

Because......

He had a good teacher.

The power is overwhelming, and the crown is in the pass!

It's just that for Tian Ming, there is still some mustard.

Maybe it's out of the psychology of showing off, or it may be out of the arrogant mind of young people.

Yuan Chang asked people to stop the carriage, lifted the curtain, and walked down.

"Brother, this trip, but you want to go to Xinfeng?" Tian Ming rode a horse, came to Yuan Chang's side, turned over and dismounted, and asked with a smile.

Yuan Chang returned the salute and nodded slightly reservedly.

"I don't know if my brother would like to be a little younger brother all the way?" Tian Ming stepped forward.

"And the little brother......" A young man who looked sixteen or seventeen poked his head out from behind Tian Ming.

Yuan Chang looked at it and recognized it.

It is Yang Hui, the son of another big man in Guanzhong.

There are double poplars in the guan.

One in Huayin, is the Emperor Gao's hero Chiquan Hou Yang Xi, Chiquan Hou after the loss of the country will live in Huayin, generations to poetry and books to read heirlooms, in the whole Guanzhong is a very famous Qingliu literati family.

Huayin Yang's family has children, and now he is working under his own teacher, and it is said that he is doing well.

The other one is the Maoling Yang family.

The Yang clan and the Tian clan of Maoling are generally Haoqiang who moved to Maoling from elsewhere in Guanzhong.

It's just that the history is not as long as Tian's, but it is only more than 50 years.

But the Yang family is a famous craftsman!

Originally born as a carpenter, Yang made his fortune by making furniture and weaving wicker.

He then moved into the most lucrative minting industry of the time.

By minting money, he has accumulated tens of millions of family children.

Then he was taken as today's son and moved to Maoling.

Then the Son of Heaven ordered that private money was forbidden, and the Yang family suddenly plummeted and was almost beaten back to its original shape.

But......

With the efforts of Yang Xuan, the head of the Yang family of the previous generation, the Yang family successfully got out of the quagmire and opened up a new financial path.

And Yang Xuan's success depends on his own unique clay casting method.

This kind of technology that the ancestors of the Yang family used to mint money back then was almost amazing in Yang Xuan's hands.

From ordnance to sickles, hoes, and hammers, all kinds of iron tools made by the Yang family were once extremely popular in Guanzhong.

It was not until the last six months that Xinfeng Workshop Park sprung up and seized the market in large quantities, which came to an end.

But......

The Yang family was also one of the original investors in the Workshop Park.

Nowadays, it has become a large workshop owner in the workshop park, the number of employees and the scale of the workshop, second only to the Shaofu workshop and the Yuan family workshop.

The benefits are even more than in the past!

Moreover, because the skilled craftsmen of Yang's workshop far surpass other workshops.

All kinds of innovations and inventions are the best in the workshop garden, even more than the Shaofu workshop.

So......

Yuan Chang knew that his teacher liked and appreciated the Yang family very much.

He even told himself in private: Guanzhong is strong, there are hundreds, and there are only two or three people who can enter my eyes, and the Maoling Yang family is one of them.

Therefore, looking at the young man, Yuan Chang immediately put on a smiling face and said, "It turned out to be Brother Xuanzhixian......"

"The virtuous brother is coming, how dare the foolish brother not?"

Yuan Chang stepped forward to help the young man up, and said kindly: "Please say hello to your housewife on my behalf after the virtuous brother returns home......

When the young man heard this, he immediately blushed and hurriedly bowed: "Don't dare! Greetings from the eldest brother, the younger brother must bring it! ”

These words fell on Tian Ming's ears, but they made the latter's face immediately wonderful.

Because......

The contemporary head of the Yang family is a woman.

Not just a woman, but also a stunning!

In Guanzhong, it is so famous that some people even compare it to the widow Qing of the Qin Dynasty.

What's more – she's still very young!

This year is full of calculations, that is, twenty-seven or eighteen years old!

She is the successor of Yang Xuan, the late head of the Yang family, and she married Yang Xuan for only two years, and Yang Xuan died.

He left only two sons and three daughters of his deceased wife.

Among them, the oldest is the current Yang Xu Yang Xuanzhi, who was only ten years old at the time!

The youngest daughter, even in her infancy.

The Yang family's huge family business was on the verge of a stormy crisis in an instant.

It was this weak woman who was only in her twenties at that time who resolutely carried the banner of the Yang family.

After burying her deceased husband first, she swore in front of Yang Xuanling in front of the guests: she would never marry again in this life, and vowed to raise Yang Xuan's children to grow up.

Then, he took a decisive action to punish the slaves of the Yang family and the outsiders who conspired to seize the property.

Then, he took out the Yang family's mansions, shops in Chang'an City, and the manor outside Chang'an City and sold them to others.

It not only allowed the Yang family to be safe, but also made many Chang'an nobles.

The key is that her behaviors and mannerisms cater to the three views of many scholars.

Therefore, being praised by others, with the praise of scholars, the Yang family finally passed the most dangerous period.

If that's all it takes, this Yang hostess will probably be like this.

Not worthy of praise!

The key is that in the next few years, the head of the Yang family, surnamed Sun, relied on his long sleeves to dance, and wandered in the circle of female nobles in Chang'an.

The wives of many, many court bigwigs are her best friends.

In particular, Huo Xian, the wife of Huo Guang, the commander of Fengche, is commensurate with her as a sister, and she almost has nothing to talk about.

Many people said that it was actually Huo Guang who fell in love with the Yang woman, so he asked his wife to go to the cage.

Huo Guang and his peachy news are well known in the business circle of Guanzhong.

It is precisely because of this that in the entire Guanzhong, countless high-ranking officials and nobles covet that beautiful and moving, capable and praised by Shilin.

Being a brother-in-law with Huo Duwei is a dream for many people!

Therefore, Tian Ming obviously thought that Yuan Chang also had such a thought.

Wake up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beauties.

What man doesn't have such a dream?

And Yang Sun is clearly a woman who represents a symbol of male power and status.

As long as you can kiss Fangze, you represent your own status and class, and you are on an equal footing with Huo Guang, the commander of Fengche.

Tian Ming also had such thoughts.

Even, once rich.

My mind is full of the beauty who is dressed in plain white filial piety clothes, with a graceful posture and a plump body.

Thinking about her day and night, I can't sleep all night.

Pity......

The Tian family is just a family of merchants, and no matter how much money is five baht, it can't compare to the power of Huo Guang, the commander of Fengche.

Not to mention, the Yang family is now also a big man in Guanzhong.

When it comes to wealth, it is not inferior to the Tian family.

So, this dream is destined to be only a dream.

But Yuan Chang......

Tian Ming is happy to see that he has one more companion who can pour out his sorrows and feelings!

Thinking of this, Tian Ming couldn't hold back a little, and wanted to sing a song and recite Song Yu's "Goddess Fu".

The beautiful woman was in front, but she couldn't hug her arms, she couldn't sleep, and she couldn't ask for it, Tian Ming hoped that there would be one more person to share.

Pity......

Yuan Chang didn't think about it in any direction at all.

Because he had never met the contemporary widow Qing who was well-known in Guanzhong.

I just remembered what happened to my teacher's eldest sister-in-law.

I think that maybe I can introduce the Yang wife to the teacher's sister-in-law, so that they can be friends and talk to each other.

After all, Yuan Chang knew that his teacher actually didn't like the woman who was very close to the teacher's sister-in-law now.

I always feel that the other party has ulterior motives.

And the teacher's worries are naturally the direction of the disciple's efforts.

Relieving the inconvenience of life for teachers is the direction that disciples must strive for.

Yuan Chang knew that he couldn't study, he was incompetent in doing things, so he could only eat and wait for death.

If you want to continue to maintain your position in front of the teacher, you can only take advantage of your money.

There were 3,000 disciples of Confucius, and there were 72 sages.

Among them is Duanmuci.

And the role that Yuan Chang set for himself is Duanmu Ci by the teacher's side.
