Thinking of this, Du Jia stood up excitedly and said happily: "Great, really good, your family has helped us a lot, but what do you want from our Liangshan?" Although the head of the Wang family mentioned it, I will do my best if I can do it, and even if I find a way to do it, I will definitely do it. ”

Seeing Du Jia so excited, although the people of the Wang family were reserved on their faces, they were still very proud in their hearts, although they were arrogant and arrogant, they were still scholars in nature, and naturally they also had many characteristics of scholars, such as the extreme importance of reputation, Du Jia's words made them feel more satisfied than giving them 100,000 taels of silver.

Wang Jiazhi smiled and said: "Brother Du is really a cheerful person, it's rare for us to talk so closely, don't see each other like this, how old is the old man who is older than you, if you don't dislike it, just call my brother, I'll call you a good brother?" ”

Du Jia said happily: "Then I will climb high, since I am my own person, the brother of the family has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

Wang Jiazhi said slowly: "Our Langya Wang family is actually not allowed to join the court dispute according to the ancestral teachings, but now it is a troubled time, if you are too strict with the precepts, I am afraid that the country will not be a country, and if you can't even keep this corner of the land at that time, what face do I have to see my ancestors under Jiuquan?" Therefore, the first request of our Wang family is to hope that the virtuous brother can help us keep this ancestral incense, and our requirements are not high, as long as we can maintain the current territory. ”

Du Jia agreed without thinking about it: "Okay, after I go back, I will immediately transfer a thousand troops and horses over, and by the way, all the original defense system of this Langya County will be renovated and upgraded, and in addition, I will allocate seventy percent of all the taxes here to the Wang family for daily use, I don't know if the brother of the family thinks it is enough?" ”

The faces of everyone present at the Wang family showed joy, the current imperial court has a lot of taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the proportion of taxes paid by the common people is getting higher and higher, and now they are basically about to be drawn to the imperial court, and the land left by the Wang family is only enough for them to barely survive, and if they want to develop, it is not necessary to talk about it, and the children of the Wang family are absolutely not allowed to do business according to the ancestral teachings, which makes them even more stretched - even their own children have to start working to save expenses, For example, when Du Jia and the others came, the old family who swept the floor outside the gate was from the Wang family, and Du Jia's words were equivalent to solving their urgent needs.

However, Wang Jiazhi naturally had to be humble and said: "Brother Xian, this is not necessary, as long as three or two percent is enough, when your cottage is developing rapidly, the money should be saved for you." ”

Du Jia waved his hand decisively and said: "Brother of the family, don't be polite, it's just tens of thousands of taels of silver a year, which is already very shabby for the identity of your Wang family, if you resign, you will look down on me, the Wang family is a master of the world, so naturally you can't waste your energy on this kind of businessman making money, but my brother still has some ways in this regard, as long as our career develops smoothly, millions or even tens of millions of taels of silver every year are not a problem." ”

Du Jia's words not only show the strong strength and glorious prospects of his side, but also praise the Wang family, which is the highest level of flattery, just like giving money to others and making the other party not feel that they have received your benefits, this is the ability, many times some people give money to others and give hatred, but they don't understand this truth.

The people of the Wang family were even happier, and at the same time, Du Jia's eyes were also full of a sense of identity, obviously they had won their respect, which was already an extremely rare thing for the Wang family, who had always been arrogant, Wang Jiazhi also rubbed his hands and felt a little embarrassed, so he simply said: "Brother Xian is so loving, if I say more, it will seem hypocritical, then I will also tell Brother Xian about the arrangements on our side, and Brother Xian will see if there is any problem." ”

After speaking, Wang Jiazhi took out a roster and began to talk, this time he planned to let his younger brother Wang Lezhi bring more than ten people from the Wang family as staff to directly participate in Liangshan, completely under Du Jia's control, and at the same time recruit about 50 protégés and friends of the Wang family, nominally to go on a study tour, but in fact, it is equivalent to helping Liangshan do things.

This Wang Lezhi is thirty-five or sixteen years old, he has always been obsessed with the world's major events, and his knowledge is high even in the Wang family, but his personality is a little lonely and conceited, and he often compares himself with Guan Zhong Leyi, quite a bit of Zhuge Liang's demeanor when he cultivated Nanyang, and he is still unmarried, and all his energy is on the general trend of learning and research.

And the more than ten disciples of the Wang family are also pillars of talent, compared with ordinary scholars, in addition to their profound knowledge, their vision and pattern are far superior, because in addition to the four books and five classics, which are necessary for the examination of Confucian books, for Laozi, Zhuangzi, Han Fei, Mozi and other books of the hundred schools of thought are also studied and researched according to their own interests, even Sun Wu, Wu Qi, Li Jing and other military books, "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", "Qing Bao Shu" and other medical books, "Mengxi Writings", "Water Jing Note", "Armillary Chart Note" and so on, and other books in all aspects.

Du Jia also admired the vision of the ancestors of the Wang family, because they did not limit the children of the Wang family to read the so-called 'sage books' to gain fame - of course, you can do this, but after laying a good foundation when you were a teenager, you began to develop according to your own interests and specialties.

Therefore, these children of the Wang family made Du Jia feel like a treasure, and after listening to Wang Jiazhi's introduction one by one, it was like seeing a treasure mine, of course, these mines can only be really used and developed in his hands, because in today's mainstream view, these people are 'not doing their jobs', and they are not good at studying and studying these. 'Strange and skillful skills' is simply a shame for my generation of scholars, so although the Langya royal family is a great holy place in the minds of scholars, it is not unreasonable that it is gradually distancing itself from the imperial court.

And Wang Lezhi is even more simple, if Wang Jiazhi does not praise him too much, this is the talent of the prime minister, which just makes up for Wu Yonggongsun Sheng's shortcomings in this regard, so that Du Jia also has one more person who can consult and give him suggestions and opinions on top of the big strategic policy, just as Zhuge Liang is to Liu Bei, Xun Yu is to Cao Cao, and Zhang Liang is to Liu Bang, this importance cannot be overestimated.
