Chapter 388: The Wang Family's Plans
"Fifth brother, congratulations, for many years, people in the family have been saying that you are for your own selfish desires, using the family's resources to cultivate a foreign surname, now look at it, there is no extraordinary virtuous nephew, how can we reproduce the glory of the past, although the senior members of the DPRK did not visit in person, but basically everyone sent people to send congratulatory gifts, and the people who came are important people in each family, which shows that they attach great importance to extraordinary virtuous nephews."
Relatively lively outside, but the study seems a little deserted, of course, this kind of desertion is only relative, except for a few people who are doing it, the rest of the people are full of excited smiles on their faces.
Hearing Wang Bingzhong's congratulations, Wang Bingkun had mixed feelings in his heart, of course, more of a gratification, at first he treated Duan Jian, but only when Duan Mo saved his life, he later found that this son was just a mediocre person, although he couldn't bear to marry his daughter to him, but because he was unwilling to break his oath, he could only endure it strongly, fortunately, although this son was wooden and timid, he was not bad-hearted.
Unexpectedly, it is such an inconspicuous boy, after a madness, it is like a different person, a complete change, whether it is temperament or the way of dealing with the world, it has made full progress, not only is it full of cleverness, but also walks smoothly in the weird officialdom, so that the once extremely large Wang family will actually receive attention because of him, such a huge change, how can Wang Bingkun not feel emotional.
"Hey, that's what I said, but all this is not in vain, there is no such thing as today's creation, he has worked hard step by step, let's just say that this time, the Jiangnan Heavenly Taoist Sect rebelled, and tens of thousands of troops stirred up the entire Jiangnan Province in chaos, even the imperial court was helpless, but he was pacified by thousands of people, it sounds like nothing, but think about it carefully, how many risks are hidden in this, and how can those of us who hide in Chang'an City think of it, every time I think of this, I feel heartache." Wang Bingkun said.
"Fifth brother, you see that now that our Wang family has risen again, is it time to make some moves, not to mention anything else, let's just say that we were robbed by several other businesses some time ago, and we just take it back now, otherwise, after a while, I don't know what will happen?" Just when everyone was quite excited, a somewhat dejected voice said.
It's none other than Wang Bingkun's eighth brother, Wang Bingzhen, who once lost a shop in the east of Chang'an City because of a bet with Duan Jian.
As soon as Wang Bingzhen said this, it was like a rat feces falling into a pot of porridge, which made the lively scene calm down instantly.
"Hmph, eighth, what is it called and I don't know what will happen after a while, do you think in your heart that something will happen to the extraordinary virtuous nephew after a while, and you are also the elder of the extraordinary virtuous nephew, is there an elder like you?" Regarding Wang Bingzhen's words, Wang Bingzhong was immediately unhappy.
Although Wang Bingzhong couldn't see Duan Jian clearly before, but since Duan Jian came to Chang'an City, the reborn change made Wang Bingzhong quickly become like-minded with him.
"Hmph, old thirteen, what is your identity, you actually dare to reprimand a certain person, and you don't talk about dignity and humility, besides, this is also a fact, originally did a good job as an official in Chang'an City, but was assigned to that kind of remote place, this time he has made such a great achievement, but he has not been requisitioned back, so you treat him as a treasure, you just open your eyes and see, no matter how the grass chicken changes, it will never become a phoenix."
After saying this, Wang Bingzhen didn't bother to say anything, turned around and walked out, leaving a group of people waiting here to be stunned.
Seeing Wang Bingzhen leave like this, the atmosphere in the study was also a little inappropriate, and some people from the side branches and some children who were closer to Wang Bingzhen also said goodbye and left, and finally only Wang Bingkun was left in the room.
"Bastard, what a bastard, I think I think I am great when I get on Wu Chenghei, and the dignified Taiyuan Wang family is actually reduced to the point of being a lackey for a gentleman, which is really insulting to the ancestors." Wang Bingzhong said angrily.
"Okay, Thirteen Lang, individuals have a personal fate, you can be satisfied with Hachiro's approach, but you can't say that what he did is wrong, the family has always done things in many ways, and now the eighth has gone to the relationship of the martial arts, and it will not necessarily be a bad thing for our Wang family, and now in the court, hey..... It's hard to put into words. "This time it was the second Wang Bingxiao who spoke, although Wang Bingxiao at this time was the left servant of the Criminal Department, he was logically a high-ranking official, but even he didn't dare to talk nonsense in the court now, let alone him, even Pei Yan, the person with the highest official position, would not say anything more except for necessary official affairs.
Listening to Wang Bingxiao's words, whether it is Wang Bingkun or Wang Bingzhong and others, their faces are gloomy, for the family, the more chaotic the period, the more they develop and grow, which is why the family family that only formed a rudimentary form in the Han Dynasty will become a powerful force to control the direction of the world after hundreds of years of Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties.
And in a relatively peaceful dynasty, the same is true, whether it is the internal struggle of the court, or the mutual seizure of power by the royal family, it is a good opportunity for the family to speculate, of course, this kind of speculation is often accompanied by huge risks when it has huge returns, and the most frequent thing is that in the case of investment failure, it will be extinct.
Even if the risk is so huge, there will still be people who are desperate to press everything to participate, because his reward is too huge, as long as he becomes the winner, then he will stand on the head of many people, calling for wind and rain to do anything, and make his family the world's leading family.
In order to let the next generation of the Son of Heaven have the blood of the Wang family, they spent countless manpower and material resources to send a woman in the family to the throne of the queen, but unfortunately, people are not as good as heaven, but this woman has been childless, so that's nothing more than that, as long as you have the title of the queen, the Wang family will also have rich returns, but it is a pity that you met Li Zhi, a person like Li Zhi, and finally a generation of strong women who are rare in a thousand years, Wu Zetian, Under this series of blows, the Wang family finally couldn't hold on, Queen Wang was deposed, and finally brutally killed by Wu Zetian.
Therefore, after hearing Wang Bingxiao's words, everyone in the Wang family had such expressions.
"Second brother, it's really not possible to get to this point, you know, although there are small hidden dangers in Datang now, it's not a big thing, and the new emperor is not a doll who doesn't understand anything, how can it be so chaotic?" Wang Bingkun asked.
"How can this be, it wasn't that woman who made it, when the emperor was there, she tried to find a way to meddle in the government affairs, she was also a delicate person, and she took care of the government without any mess, and everyone endured it in the face of the emperor, but now she still doesn't let go, and even treats His Majesty like a naughty boy, and many courtiers in the court ignore her domineering feelings because of her power, you look at it, sooner or later, something will happen in the court, it's not a trivial matter, as long as something happens, it will be an earth-shattering event, so, Before the situation is clear, no matter what is handled, we must be cautious, our Wang family has weakened, but we can no longer withstand a little wind and grass. Wang Bingxiao said.
These words made Wang Bingkun's face blue again, and after a while, this expression slowly converged, replaced by a rather struggling look.
"Second brother, the thirteenth brother, brothers, since this is the case, for the sake of our Wang family's thousand-year-old inheritance, it seems that we have to make some preparations in advance." Wang Bingkun said.
"Preparation, what preparation, Gorou has any good ideas." Wang Bingxiao and others asked.
Compared with Wang Bingxiao and the others, Wang Bingzhong seemed to have thought of something, looked at Wang Bingkun with a surprised face and asked, "Five..... Fifth brother, is it ..... Do you really want to do that? ”
"What this, that, fourth, thirteen, what are you talking about, is there really something you don't know." Seeing Wang Bingkun and Wang Bingzhong so mysterious, Wang Bingxiao and others were even more curious.
"Second brother, in fact, this is ........." Under Wang Bingkun's explanation, Wang Bingxiao and others finally knew the reason for the matter.
It turned out that before Duan Jian went south, he had talked with Wang Bingkun and Wang Bingzhong because of the current situation of the Wang family, in Duan Jian's view, the Wang family is now in the 'five surnames and seven hopes', and has fallen into the disadvantage, and it is quite unwise to compete with the Cui family, the Zheng family and others who are in the limelight.
You must know that from the beginning of the Yan and Huang Emperors to the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Chinese civilization has experienced thousands of years, but because of population or other reasons, the places that have really been developed are only the northern places such as Guanzhong, Kanto, and the Central Plains, while the relatively remote southern places have become 'chicken ribs', which are tasteless and a pity to abandon.
It is precisely because of this that for thousands of years, the main battlefield of countless dynasties or wars is in the north, which also leads to the fact that in the minds of the Chinese people, the north is orthodoxy, and the south is a remote place.
And the so-called 'five surnames and seven hopes' is even more so, they have also been fighting for the northern land, if it is the kind of powerful Wang family that used to be, even if the competition in the northern land is fierce, there is also a place for the Wang family, but now it is different, the Wang family is obviously lacking in confidence, and in the fight with other families, there is only one way to go, with the continuous efforts and no return, and finally dilapidated, completely annexed by others.
Therefore, in Duan Jian's view, the most suitable place for the development of the Wang family is the land of Jiangnan that is destined to become more and more prosperous in the future, Duan Jian knows that although in the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court intended to suppress Jiangnan, but with the development of time, the importance of Jiangnan has become greater and greater, and finally, it has completely become a powerful force affecting the imperial court, which can be seen from the period when Wu Zetian was in power, and officials from Jiangnan continued to live in the court, and this point was basically invisible in the Tang Dynasty before Wu Zetian.
In addition to this, Duan Jian also has an idea, although the Wang family is much weaker than before, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the broken boat is still 3,000 ding, the power of the Wang family is not as good as other families in the north, but when it comes to the south of the Yangtze River, that is the existence of the Big Mac, with the help of the huge resources of the Wang family, Duan Jian will be able to quickly promote the 'Zhancheng Rice' in a short period of time, and when the time comes, it will be twice a year. Even the high-yielding rice varieties of the three crops can not only bring extremely rich political returns to Duan Jian, but also an opportunity for the Wang family to rise again.
It's a pity that this suggestion was not agreed by Wang Bingkun at that time, thinking that Duan Jian was purely unfounded, of course, this also included the influence of the ancient idea of 'homeland is hard to leave', as well as the influence of Duan Jian's identity, after all, Duan Jian was only a county order at that time, and he did not have such a prominent reputation as he does now.
But now it's different, after listening to Wang Bingxiao's discussion and analysis of the court, as well as the change of Duan Jian's identity, Wang Bingkun suddenly felt that Duan Jian's original proposal was still somewhat feasible.
"Oh, that's what the extraordinary nephew said, he really said that it is not possible to find the kind of rice that grows twice or three times a year and is still very high-yielding." Compared with Wang Bingkun's development of Wangjiadao Jiangnan, Wang Bingxiao is most interested in the high-yield 'Zhancheng rice'.
You know, Huaxia has always been a barren land, so agriculture and food have become the top priority to restrict the development of China and the dynasties, if someone really finds this kind of high-yield good seeds, then not only for the Tang Dynasty and the people of the Tang Dynasty, but also for the whole of China is a great impact.
"Yes, the letter from the day before yesterday has already stated this, Duan Shui has retrieved this rice seed from Zhancheng, and now Bufan is already the long history of Suzhou, depending on the situation, Suzhou may not have thorned for a long time, so, if nothing else, Bufan may have begun to cultivate seedlings, and wait until the beginning of next year, what is the effect, whether it is so magical, you can get the exact news." Wang Bingkun replied.
"Okay, in this case, there is such a good opportunity, if we don't use it well, but it will be a violent thing, even if it is not for our Wang family, just for the sake of the extraordinary virtuous nephew, this matter must be successful, now the extraordinary virtuous nephew and our Wang family can be described as a prosperous and loss-making situation, only the extraordinary virtuous nephew is getting better and better, and the higher and higher in the official career, our Wang family can get better and better, so, according to a certain idea, even if we don't transfer all the strength of the family to Jiangnan, It is also necessary to allocate a part of the past, so as to lay a good foundation for the future, and not to put all the eggs in one basket, which is the safest way. ”
