After Li Jiancheng subdued Gong Qiuning, he immediately took the time to meet Zhang Qiancai in the secret room of the Qilin internal guard:

"Zhang Qiancai, male, nineteen years old, his father is currently the advocate of the Zhang family in Wuzhong, and his mother is Zhang Chu, the wife of Zhang Jiling. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info came to Gangneung to establish the Gangneung business on the one hand because his father Zhang Jiling let his son train, on the other hand, because of the fierce internal disputes in the family, Ling Zun Zhang Jiling also hopes to protect you, and now the palace asks you, are you willing to join the Qilin internal guard. When Zhang Qiancai heard Li Jiancheng's words, he recalled that Zhang Ziyi told himself about the scene when his father Zhang Jiling was questioned and embarrassed by the elders of the clan when he worshiped his ancestors in the old ancestral hall of Wuzhong - in the old ancestral hall of the Zhang family in Wuzhong, every year when he crossed to the south of the Jin Dynasty, the descendants of the Zhang family would worship the spiritual seat of their ancestors in the old ancestral hall of Wuzhong. Zhang Jiling, the current patriarch of the Zhang family, offered sacrifices:

"Today, we are here to report to you, the ancestors of the Zhang family, my Wuzhong Zhang family since the Jin Dynasty Nandu, settled in Jiangnan, after more than ten generations of development and reproduction, has become no less than Wang, Xie, Gu, Lu four major families of the family, now our Zhang family's shop land all over the Jiangnan, that is, the Central Plains, Bashu, Guanzhong, and Liaodong have our semicolon industry, please bless the ancestors, I Wuzhong Zhang's wealth is rolling, prosperous for ten thousand years." The Zhang clan in the back said:

"Please bless the ancestors, my Wuzhong Zhang clan has a lot of money and will prosper for ten thousand years." After the prayers, the people of the Zhang clan deliberated in the council hall next to the ancestral hall according to the custom:

"Great Patriarch, your lies in front of your ancestors are really seamless!" It was Zhang Jiling's half-brother who spoke, the son of Zhang Jiling's father's wife, but Zhang Boling, who was one day younger than Zhang Jiling. For this younger brother, Zhang Jiling has always had a headache, originally, because Zhang Jiling's mother is a dancer in the Western Regions, when Zhang Jiling was born, because of his alien ancestry, one eye is blue, Zhang Boling has been sarcastic Zhang Jiling is a monster, fortunately, Zhang Jiling's talent is higher than Zhang Boling, whether it is reading, martial arts are better than Zhang Boling, and later in the war between Yang Guang and Yang Yong for Chu to win the heir, Zhang Boling supports Yang Yong, Zhang Jiling supports Yang Guang, with Yang Guang's ascendancy, Zhang Jiling's industry continues to develop, And Zhang Boling was constantly suppressed by Yang Guang, for the safety of the Zhang family, Zhang Jiling's father Zhang Wanfang passed the position of patriarch to Zhang Jiling when he was dying, so whether it was personal grudges or interests, Zhang Boling has been secretly against Zhang Jiling.

"Second brother! What you said is not right, what the eldest brother said is also true, when Yang Guang was in power, our Zhang family's industry was not hazel and hazelnut, the Central Plains, Guanzhong, Southwest, and Liaodong, as long as there is a place where the Great Sui army is, where will our Wuzhong Zhang's trade route go? Zhang Yaling is the same as Zhang Jiling, his mother is the escort of his father Zhang Wanfang's wife, and was later accepted by his father Zhang Wanfang and gave birth to Zhang Yaling, so he has been excluded by Zhang Boling, and Zhang Boling can't bully Zhang Jiling, so he will find Zhang Yaling to be angry, and Zhang Jiling is often blamed and punished by Zhang Wanfang's wife for standing up for this younger brother, and the suffering and exclusion suffered since childhood make Zhang Jiling and Zhang Yaling very close. No, seeing that Zhang Boling was embarrassed by Zhang Jiling, he helped Zhang Jiling speak.

"Humph! Fourth brother, you also know that it was when Yang Guang was in power, but now? As soon as Yang Guang fell, the world was in chaos, and now our Wuzhong Zhang clan has lost its industries in Liaodong and Guanzhong, Bashu, and the Central Plains, and some of the people of the side tribes have lost contact, and Yang Guang and Empress Dowager Xiao, who you originally supported, have died; One is missing, since Fugong Tuo ascended the throne of King Wu, he has suppressed our industry many times in the name of the former Sui remnants, and it is this tax and that donation at every turn. We've lost a lot! Zhang Boling's words were recognized by some of the elders of the Zhang clan who were present.

"Ji Ling, Bo Ling is right, now that all the houses of our Zhang family have suffered heavy losses, you, as the patriarch, have to find a way for the livelihood of our descendants of the Zhang family!"

"In my opinion, let's choose a new patriarch! I propose that Zhang Boling's son take the position of the patriarch, what do you think? ”

"I think it's okay! Zhang Boling's son has a deep friendship with King Wu, and the selection of Zhang Boling's son as the patriarch just solves our immediate urgency. ”

"That's not good! Ji Ling has done his best for our Zhang family over the years, is it a bit of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge! ”

"Brother Xiling is still such a woman's kindness! But don't forget, the safety of the Zhang family is more important than anything! Besides, our foundation is in Jianghuai, and now it is Fugong Tuo who has sat on the position of Jianghuai Metropolitan Governor, King Wu, and we have some old grudges with our Zhang family when we used to be Xiangguo, if it weren't for our Zhang family's deep roots in Jianghuai and a wide range of contacts, I am afraid that King Wu's knife would have fallen. "What Zhang Boling said is also the truth - the Central Plains is in turmoil, when Yang Guang is partial to the south of the Yangtze River, the infighting of the Zhang family in Wuzhong began, but Yang Guang is still in power, more or less Zhang Jiling's authority in the family is still somewhat maintained, Yang Guang was killed by Yu Culture, Zhang Jiling funded the Empress Dowager Xiao to form a rebellious army, and used his connections to win over Xiao Mo and Du Fuwei, both sides curryed favor, temporarily stabilized the family's internal strife crisis, who knew that later, Du Fuwei died unexpectedly, Fu Gong Tuo ascended to the throne, and Xiao Mo built the Liang State was destroyed by Li Tang, After the demise of these two forces that supported Zhang Jiling, those in the Zhang family who were not satisfied with Zhang Jiling began to challenge the status and authority of Zhang Jiling's patriarch. Zhang Jiling and the others present talked for a while before they spoke:

"What Bo Ling said is good, but have you thought about it, now no one knows which force will dominate the world, if we go to the auxiliary public extension now, what if the auxiliary public extension fails? And now Li Tang is eyeing the Jianghuai area, Li Jiancheng's means are amazing! As soon as Zhang Jiling's words fell, the people present were silent - everyone who does business knows that the growth rate of wealth is closely related to the degree of combination of rights, and now the auxiliary prince is powerful, but now Li Tang has now seized the land of Bashu Jingchu, especially Li Jiancheng, the crown prince of the Li Tang court, during this period of time, the news sent by the secret agents of the Zhang family in various places and the most talked about by the people is also Li Jiancheng, and the conspiracy of the major forces in the world for Li Tang was also skillfully resolved by Li Jiancheng, plus folk rumors, Li Jiancheng has been dreamed of by Taishang Laojun many times, and there is a trace of divine daring in Li Jiancheng's body. In the eyes of everyone, Li Tang has already shown a trend of dominating the world, in case it is really as Zhang Jiling said, then the result at that time is not something that all the descendants of the Zhang family present can think of.

"What does the Great Patriarch mean?"

"All Jianghuai taxes shall be paid to each house according to the amount of the former Sui Dynasty, and the excess part shall be paid by our patriarch's house, and the other excess taxes shall be borne by the clan fund under the control of the patriarch." The public gold in the clan was evolved from the honorarium system of the princes and princes of the Liu clan who sacrificed their ancestors to the central government since the Han Dynasty when the Zhang family crossed to the south when the Jin family crossed to the south, but in addition to being used as a cost to worship the ancestors, it was also a life-saving money for the Zhang family when they were in danger. has always been in the hands of the patriarch of the Zhang clan. This is also one of the reasons for Zhang's infighting.

When Zhang Qiancai heard that Li Jiancheng wanted to recruit him, he didn't think about it, and directly expressed his loyalty to Li Jiancheng:

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Li Jiancheng nodded:

"Write down your life and parents, relatives, and place of origin, sign your name, and then choose a part, and this palace will let a professional tattoo a unicorn."

"Yes!" After Zhang Qiancai tattooed the unicorn, Li Jiancheng took out the token of the unicorn internal guard and a dagger.

"Remember, the Qilin internal guard is the internal guard in charge of the prince himself, everything belongs directly to the palace, once you enter the internal guard, you must not betray for life, now separate your wrists, drop the blood in the wine and drink it after vowing."

"I, Zhang Qiancai, swear that since I joined the Kirin Internal Guard, I will never divulge secrets. He vows to dedicate his loyalty to the Qilin internal guard and His Royal Highness the Prince, and will never betray His Royal Highness the Prince, and will never swerving. If this oath is violated, I, Zhang Qiancai, am willing to add a knife and axe, break thousands of corpses, and cut off children and grandchildren. Oath taker, Zhang Qiancai. Li Jiancheng handed over the token of the Qilin Internal Guard to Zhang Qiancai.

"Qiancaiqing! The palace happens to have some plans that need your help, you go to the East Palace guest house to wait for a while, the palace has to meet a guest back, and when the palace and him plan well, your role can be played! Zhang Qiancai agreed and withdrew. After a while, Heng Guangyuan came to Li Jiancheng under the leadership of the guards of the East Palace:

"The grass people see His Royal Highness the Prince!" Li Jiancheng turned his head and glanced at Heng Guangyuan, who was chubby and bowed, giving people the feeling of a round ball.

"Lift your head! Flat! Heng Guangyuan obeyed Li Jiancheng's order, and Li Jiancheng suddenly felt that this Heng Guangyuan was not simple, because in the three families he met before, those three families all felt some fear of Li Jiancheng, but Heng Guangyuan smiled at Li Jiancheng, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and there was no trace of fear on his body. Li Jiancheng immediately became interested in this Heng Guangyuan - in the investigation of the Qilin Internal Guard, it has always been shown that this Heng Guangyuan is a wine bag pervert, and when he was in Leshou, he was introduced by Cao Dan as a confidant because he often went in and out of Flower Street and Willow Lane and liked to seduce widows, but Li Jiancheng found out from it that Heng Guangyuan had no record of hooking up with women from good families, and all women who had a relationship with Heng Guangyuan were either Heng Guangyuan's wives and concubines, or ** in brothels, and then the widows of dead husbands, who are not lustful men, But there are not many men who still have a bottom line on lust, and they are also the ones who need to be guarded against the most. (At this time, there was no such thing as in the Southern Song Dynasty, when widows were not allowed to remarry, and if a woman died of her husband, if the elders of the man's family or the woman's family did not remarry the widow, they would be charged a very high tax.) This Heng Guang Yuan is definitely not that simple. ’

"Ahh It turned out to be Evergrande's master! I heard that the Evergrande master bought a thousand catties of snow candy from the palace at a flat price, and the palace thanked the Evergrande master here. ”

"Where, where? I'm just a businessman, and I can do whatever I want to make money! ”

"Oh! That's right! This palace is to talk about a big business with Evergrande today. Someone! Invite the head of Zhang Qiancai's family to the palace. After a while, Zhang Qiancai came to Li Jiancheng again under the leadership of the guards, and was about to salute Li Jiancheng, Li Jiancheng hurriedly greeted first:

"Master Zhang, this palace is talking to the master of the Heng family about you, and you just happened to be here." Zhang Qiancai discovered Heng Guangyuan at this time.

"Oh! His Royal Highness the Prince! Constant family Lord. ”

"Hmmm! Zhang is the master, Heng is the master. This palace has always wanted to open the Jianghuai trade road and solve the people's livelihood by the way, but the people of Jianghuai have a deep misunderstanding of our dynasty, so this palace intends to borrow Qilu, which is to need the help of the lord of the Heng family. Heng Guangyuan finally knew what Li Jiancheng meant:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince instructed, I will do my best." After Heng Guangyuan and Zhang Qiancai left, Li Jiancheng found Xu Jingzong:

"Xu Qing! For Heng Guangyuan's close surveillance, this person must not be taken lightly. ”

"Yes! Bechen understands. ”
