After saying something in his parents' room, Han Gang and his wife and concubine went back to their rooms.

In order to serve Han Gang, the four wives and concubines were all arranged for work, and today it was Wang Yi's turn to serve and sleep.

first arranged tomorrow's family affairs, and then went to take a bath, and after more than half an hour, Wang Yi came to his and Han Gang's room. When the two maids were left in the outer room, and when they walked into the dark room with a candlestick, they happened to see Han Gang sitting at the table.

There was no light in the room, only a faint light. Through the blue screen window, the silver moon shone straight in, shining on Han Gang's face, and there was a deep shadow between his eyebrows, thinking about something.

Knowing that her husband was thinking about things, Wang Yi walked in lightly and covered the lit candle with a gauze. The flickering candlelight suddenly softened after being scattered by the white gauze cover.

After placing the candlestick, Wang Yi quietly walked to Han Gang's side and asked him, "Are you still thinking about the Qinzhou merchants brought by the fourth uncle of the Feng family?" ”

"Hmm." Han Gang nodded. In his plan, the cooperation with the wealthy family in Qinzhou is a long-term thing, and he must consider the specific distribution conditions clearly at the beginning, and of course he will not do it if he suffers. But you can't be too greedy, otherwise the cooperation will definitely end in disintegration.

Hearing her husband confirm her guess, Wang Yi was a little sad and persuaded in a low voice: "Official." You are now a court official, and you will definitely be able to occupy a high position in the future. There is not much food and clothing at home. It's enough to have your money. Why deal with those merchants in the name of agglomeration? ”

Han Gang shook his head, he was indeed virtuous when he married this wife, but he thought of himself as low. asked rhetorically: "Do you think I am Guo Kui?" ”

Although Guo Kui is now the most handsome talent in the court, he attaches great importance to goods and goods, and there has never been a shortage of Guo family caravans in the caravans participating in Huiyi in the border areas of Guanxi. Guo Kui's wife, Shi Shi, advised this many times, saying, 'I am old with my father-in-law, how much do I wear?' …… Why do you hide more and lose your reputation? ’

"It's not!" Wang Yi shook her head again and again, she never felt that Han Gang was greedy for money and goods, and his fame was regarded as idle, let alone such a thing. It's just that seeing that Han Gang asked Feng Congyi to find those businessmen for some goods, Wang Yi was afraid that after the news went out, it would hurt her husband's reputation.

"What's that?"

“…… It's just that...... It's just ......" Wang Yi was only for a long time, but he didn't know how to express the worries in his heart without angering Han Gang, and he was so anxious that he almost fell into tears.

Looking at his wife's crying appearance, Han Gang smiled, smiled gently, and was completely lifeless. Holding her waist, she sat on her lap with Wang Yi in her arms, lowered her head and whispered softly in her ear:

"The Han family, which has been coming to Kansai from Jiaoxi Township for decades, has not yet laid a stable foundation, and the two brothers died too early, leaving me alone. Don't look at it like cooking oil on fire now, as long as I pour it, the Han family will fall in a blink of an eye. I only hope that the Han family can take root in Longxi and use this as the foundation to spread out. ”

"Accumulation is not the goal, and the money obtained is only a tool to be used. Gongzhou is newly opened, if it can be deeply rooted here, citing Austrian aid, it will be a wealthy family for this place in the future. Even if you can't be a substitute jinshi, being a famous squire is enough to protect your family. I value them, in fact, it is also for the Qinzhou clan behind them. ”

Han Gang explained without hesitation. He knew that the three daughters of Yun Niang had blind trust in their decisions, so they never doubted it. And because Wang Yi is an eldest woman, she presides over the feed, even if she trusts her wholeheartedly, she must ask more. If you don't ask, Han Gang is what you have to worry about.

Wang Yi whispered: "So that's the case." ”

Han Gang knew that these words were not convincing enough, and said: "What's more, I'm not the only one who has this thought. Otherwise, why did Wang Chudao transfer from civilian officials to military capital? He will be in Didao Renzhi County in two days. ”

Wang Hou has long had plans to put pen to paper, and his eldest brother Wang Kuo is a jinshi, but Wang Hou knows that he doesn't expect to be admitted to a background. Earlier, he got approval from Zhao Ji, and after serving a term in the third class courtyard, he changed from civilian to military position. Just the day before yesterday, there was news that Wang Hou, the inner temple undertaker, was sent to Zhididao County, Xizhou Prefecture to serve as the magistrate of the county-border county, and the military attache could also preside over it.

Taking out Wang Hou's certificate, Wang Yi was surprised: "The second uncle of the Wang family is also going to move to Xihe?" ”

"The Wang family has a big business, and it is normal to separate one from Dejiang, Jiangxi. What's more, the Wang family's industry in Xihe can't be all watched by outsiders. Han Gang remembered the situation when Gao Zunyu, Wang Shao and himself, the three monopolized the Guwei field, and couldn't help sighing, "Even if it is Qinggao, you can't eat and drink dew, and chasing wealth and profit is indispensable." As long as you don't get the purpose of making money wrong, that's enough. As for fame, the outside can't attack me with this thing, put a hundred hearts. ”

Han Gang thought of Chong Jianzhong again, that one, but in order to change from a military position to a civilian position, he ran to take a background exam.

Wang Hou and Chong Jianzhong have different ideas about the future, so they make different decisions. Chong Jianzhong was originally a disciple of Jiangmen, so it is normal to ask for a civil official. And Wang Hou, or the Wang family, is different.

Although military generals are far inferior to civilian officials, and they have to suffer from civil officials, for those who want to protect their families, taking the road of military generals is a shortcut to long-term wealth. Even if it is a scholarly family of poetry and books, who can guarantee that there will be scholars from generation to generation? If you can't pass the Jinshi exam, you will basically not be promoted to a seven-rank official who can make up for your children and grandchildren for the rest of your life. Even if it succeeds, it will be difficult for the third-generation shadow supplement official to even turn into a Beijing official, and it will only get worse from generation to generation.

"Don't look at Vice Pivot Wang's abnormality now, several sons have shade seals, but who can guarantee that the second generation of Wang Chudao can rise to a high position in the future? Or to ensure that the third and fourth generations of the Wang family still have outstanding disciples? The family has been extinct for two generations, how can Vice President Wang be willing to see it?

In this case, it is better to learn to grow a family. Chong Yinjun [Chongfang] is a civil minister, but in the generation of Chong Zhongping [Chong Shiheng], he turned into a martial artist, and now it has taken two generations to take root in Qingjian City on Yanyan Road, and has become the premier Jiangmen family in Guanzhong.

If you can learn half of Zhongping's achievements in the Dao, it will also be a guarantee for the wealth of several generations of the Wang family in the future. It is difficult to inherit civil officials, but the generals have been passed down from generation to generation.

And it just so happens that Wang has many sons, so you can bet on both sides. Divide a king to take the road of a military general, and stay in Xihe Road, where his own trust and prestige are incomparably deep, how can there be a reason not to rise steadily? Compared with Chong Shiheng's defense of Qingjian City, the situation of the beginning is thousands of times stronger. ”

In fact, what Han Gang wants to emulate the most is the Lin Mansion Fold family. She Laotaijun, one of the generals of the Yang family, is actually a daughter of this family. It's just a false rumor, and the name was changed later.

Linzhou, Fuzhou, and Fengzhou, located at the northwest corner of Hedong Road and west of the Yellow River, border the Xijing Road of Liaoguo, and are also on the first line of resisting the attack of the Dangxiang people on Hedong. The army guarding the gateway here is a rare elite among the Song army. But the elite of these three states, it is not the Zhao official family in Tokyo City who directly obeys the orders, but the head of the Zhe family.

For the Song family, the Linfu family is an important minister guarding the border, and can even be regarded as a prince. From the time of the fifth dynasty, the Zhe family, who was born in the party, was entrenched in the northwest corner of Hedong Road, and when the Song dynasty was established, they voted over. The Song court did not reorganize or disband the army under its command. Instead, he left that piece of land to the Fold family.

Until now, the Hedong Linfu Army is still under the banner of the Zhe family. Even if the imperial court sent officials to Linzhou and Fuzhou, who would have trouble with the Zhe family who made all the lower-level officials and military academies bow down to their orders?

Its foundation is deep, its status is special, the popularity is high, and the soldiers and horses are strong. This is a special case due to various factors such as history and geography. In the future that Han Gang can predict, the position of the Zhe family is still stable, and the party and Khitan will not be extinguished for a day, so the Zhe family does not need to worry about the day when the rabbit dies and the dog cooks.

Of course, Han Gang envied the Zhi family, and in this era, the possibility of 'he being replaced' was very small. The nameless but real princes are already the best position they can achieve at this time. Han Gang also wants to imitate the status of the Zhe family in Longxi, with half the level, he can always keep the family, he doesn't need nominal rule, a substantial control is enough.

Leaning on Han Gang's arms, Wang Yi nodded lightly. Her husband has said it in such detail, she already understands a lot. "The officials are really far-sighted."

"What can be considered foresight? It's just a way to protect yourself. Han Gang laughed self-deprecatingly, "My father-in-law has no time to make a career for the country, that's admirable." I just can't learn it......"

Wang Yi was silent because of Han Gang's words, as long as he had read the history books, anyone could know the result of Lu Dao presiding over the law changer. Shang Ying is the best example of the past, not to mention Wang Mang's ancient traitor. No one can say what kind of situation Wang Anshi and the Linchuan Wang family will fall back to.

Han Gang didn't want his wife to worry too much about these things in the future. His hands reached into the placket, rubbing her delicate lower abdomen, gradually descending, diverting her attention.

"When the road comes, you have to walk around with his daughters a lot. I have set up a family with him, and I will support each other for several generations in the future......" Han Gang's fingers had already penetrated into the damp cave, and every stroke of his fingertips could cause the delicate body in his arms to tremble.

The gasps that were suppressed gradually became heavier, and Wang Yi's body became hot.

Feeling the palm of his fingers slowly becoming wet, Han Gang whispered in his wife's ear: "It's better to give birth to a sister-in-law for your husband as soon as possible, and don't let people say that I don't believe in my words!" ”
