Chapter 12 The King's Career in the Face of Life

On the way home, Wang Ya felt very strange, his own shops in Pingyang County were not as prosperous as before, and those merchants who came from Guanzhong were not piled up at the door of the shops as before, waiting for the Wang family to dominate their goods.

Finally saw a crowded shop, Wang Ya couldn't help but stop and poke his head out, this is obviously a new store, but when he continued to look up, the plaque said "Yang Family".

It was really a little unbearable, Wang Ya got out of the carriage, and walked back and forth to the shop surrounded by household servants. Several evil slaves have already opened to the point where they can't open the vendors, and the shopkeeper of the Yang family's shop has already walked out.

"Where did the thief come from, why did you drive away the merchants in my store for no reason?"

Wang Kai is Wang Ya's personal guard, and he also recognizes a few words, so he immediately drew his knife and shouted: "A certain is the head of the Wang family's guard, this is our eldest son!" ”

Wang Ya didn't pay attention to the dispute between the two people, just looked at the bag of white flowers in front of the counter, and couldn't help but pinch a small pinch with his hand and put it to his mouth to taste the taste.

"Wang Kai, Hugh is rude!" Wang Ya shouted back Wang Kai, and turned his gaze to the shopkeeper of the Yang family.

"I don't know if the prince is here, the little old man is so polite."

Wang Ya ordered someone to escape some gold and silver and put it on the counter and said: "It's rude, I came into the store out of curiosity to take a look, but I don't know that the discipline is not strict, these gold and silver should be compensated for the damage to the tables and chairs in your store." ”

The shopkeeper of the Yang family immediately bowed to the lowest, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, these tables and chairs are old goods, and they will be damaged over time, how can they be compensated by Wang Gongzi?" ”

Wang Ya saw that the posture of the person in front of him was the lowest, so he asked: "The Fenyin Yang clan's hand is inevitably stretched a little too long now, how dare you open a shop in my Pingyang, have you already forgotten the rules between our families?" ”

The shopkeeper of the Yang family gave a look, and Xiao Er immediately took out a brocade box, "These are the title deeds approved by the old lady Wang personally, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't dare to be presumptuous in your land if I borrowed ten dares from Xiao Lao'er." ”

Wang Ya looked at the signature on it and confirmed that it was his grandfather's signature, so he shook his sleeves and went out of the door, stepping into the carriage quickly, he wanted to return home very much, he had too many things to figure out.

At the same time, Wei Yu was preparing to take Xiaoru and Dian Wei out of the city. Cheng Xi and Yang Liu had already gone home, and they sent a letter yesterday, saying that Cheng Yang and Yang would come back to Anyi today to take over the shop in the east of Anyi.

"Ziyi, Shaowen, over here." Dian Wei's loud voice called out when he just saw the two-person horse team.

But when the crowd got closer, they saw that only Cheng Xi dismounted and bowed to the three of them.

"Shaowen, why are you the only one who came this time? Don't Ziyi's family agree? ”

Cheng Xi patted Wei Yu's shoulder, "Zhong Daoyi will be wrong, Ziyi's family not only does not object, but strongly supports it." In order to better develop the refined salt sales network, his father had sent Ziyi to set up shops in various counties in Hedong, so Ziyi could not return to Anyi. ”

"It's okay or fine." Wei Yu welcomed Cheng Xi's horse team into the city, "Since Ziyi has something, Shaowen, it's the same for you to come, this is the title deed of the shop in Dongcheng, as for how to distribute it, I think you and Ziyi have already discussed it." Tomorrow those shops will be opened, rest assured, I have not detained any of the people you fancie. ”

"Naturally, he can trust Zhongdao."

The two did not rush to the shop, but took people to the courtyard of salt making, Cheng Xi ordered someone to untie the goods on the carriage, "Time is in a hurry, this is all the salt mines that our two families have accumulated, and I also brought Ziyi's share according to the agreement at that time." ”

"Well said, well said." Wei Yu directly asked Xiaoru to direct the unloading of the goods, but he pulled Cheng Xi to the side.

"Meng Ran has already set off the day before yesterday, this time with the protection of a large number of my dead soldiers, there is naturally no worries on the way, and I will tell you in advance.

Also, this time, I hope that the two of you will leave a person who can speak, I think Shaowen, your busy Cheng family's sister-in-law will naturally not be able to stay here in Anyi for a long time. “

"This is natural, Ziyi and I have already selected the manpower of the two families, and we will take Zhongdao to know each other when the time comes. It's just that I really didn't expect Zhongdao to move so quickly, if it was according to Zhongdao, Meng Ran should have arrived in the Beiqu area by now. ”

"That's right, I don't know what Shaowen arranged on the Liaodong side, we must be going to loot Liaodong ginseng this time, it shouldn't attract the suspicion of Gongsun Shengji, right?"

Cheng Xi put away the folding fan in his hand, and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Zhongdao, since I have played a package ticket in Liaodong, I will definitely be able to do it, my uncle and Gongsun Du's confidant Yangyi have a very good relationship, and Meng Ran should have no problem going to Liaodong this time." ”

Wei Yu nodded and acquiesced to Cheng Xi's statement, Yangyi is a cronie that Gongsun Du has to discuss with if he wants to establish himself as the king of Liaodong, since there is this relationship, then Pan Min's travel, at least in Liaodong County, the safety issue can naturally be guaranteed.

However, if there is no security in anyone's heart at this time, then it must be counted as the number one person in Wang Linglu.

In the main hall of the Wang family's mansion, three generations of the Wang family gathered here.

Wang Ya has been listening, and now he doesn't need to speak, he just needs to think about what his family is saying.

Old lady Wang kept squinting her eyes and didn't speak, but it was Wang Ya's father Wang Ji who kept talking.

"That's the case, the Yang family extended their hand to Pingyang this time and we agreed after discussion, their Yang family now has mastered a large number of salt-making techniques, and our Wang family has to compromise in some small aspects."

Wang Ji's deep face suddenly flashed with a hint of waves, "But compromise is not a way after all, the salt business has always been the foundation of our Wang family, and we have to find a way to fight back this time." ”

As soon as Wang Ji finished speaking, a young man beside Wang Ya stood up.

"Uncle's words are wrong, so since the Yang family has mastered the production method of refined salt, it is already very good that we just compromised a shop with them. Now that the court is unkind, everyone is in danger, and it is the time to hoard autumn grain, what our Hedong family needs is unity, how can we be as bold as a behemoth like the Yang family because of some small gains and losses? ”

This person is Wang Ya's cousin, whose name is Wang Qian.

"How can Zhixin (Wang Ti's cousin) grow up to others and actually destroy their own prestige? In the end, the Fenyin Yang family is only a branch of the Hongnong Yang family, and besides, salt is the lifeblood of my Wang family, how can you compromise with others, how dare you forget that the ancestors of the Wang family are also listed as three princes? ”

The speaker was Wang Ya's cousin, whose name was Wang He.

When a family is bigger, any faction will be created, and the struggle between the compromise and the main battle faction has not disappeared from ancient times to the present.

Wang Ya continued not to speak, he was used to the quarrels of these brothers in the family, but no matter how they quarreled, the best son of the Wang family was him, and he was also the son-in-law who could not be beaten.

Wang Ji was already a little impatient, and was just about to open his mouth, and the old lady Wang above had already spoken, "Zhixin, Zhidai don't want to quarrel again, let's talk about it here today, Kang Yu (Wang Ji's words) Linglu father and son stay, and the others will withdraw." ”

When the old lady Wang spoke, the family did not dare to object, and when everyone retreated, Wang Wei and Wang He did not forget to look at Wang Ya viciously.

"Linglu, do you think that grandpa let the Yang family get started in Pingyang a little too much?"

Wang Ya hurriedly got up, "Sun Er doesn't dare." ”

The old lady Wang smiled and poked the crutches in her hand on the ground, and then said to her son: "Kang Yu told Linglu all the information we know." ”

"Yes, father." Wang Ji didn't have the demeanor of a family head to his father, but he didn't have the same demeanor for his son, "When Linglu went to the Xiongnu Zuoxian King to give gifts, Hedong can be said to have changed the sky. ”

Wang Linglu instinctively swallowed his saliva and continued to listen to his father.

"Wei Zhongdao, the sister-in-law of the Wei family, who should have died, did not die, but miraculously came back to life, 'Wuxiang' We have already tried it, there must be no problem with the medicine, I think it should be that the Wei family invited some skilled medical craftsmen.

And the following things are all related to Wei Zhongdao. ”

Wang Ya couldn't believe his ears a little, in his opinion, although Wei Zhongdao was quite literate, he was definitely a typical case of a nerd who died of reading, Wang Ji actually said that the following things are all related to Wei Zhongdao, what are the following things? Naturally, the Yang family sells refined salt.

"According to our spies, the Yang Cheng family has already mastered the method of making refined salt, and these are all provided by Wei Jia Wei Zhongdao, and the spearhead of the three of them this time has obviously been pointed at our Wang family.

Obviously, after the three of them discussed, the Yang family, as a pioneer, had begun to make trouble, the Wei family naturally provided a lot of financial support, and the Cheng family was on the side to fill in the gaps. But no matter how it goes, even if the contradictions between the families are provoked when they hoard autumn grain, these families in Hedong and even the families in the world will completely go to the side of the Wei Family Alliance because of the interests of refined salt. ”

Wang Ya got up slowly, "Why does my father say that our Wang family is so unbearable, even if the three families of Wei Cheng and Yang join forces to make trouble, we just need to invite the entire Hedong family to sit on the ground and divide the interests, and with the means of our Wang family, we will naturally be able to live safely." The truth that scarcity is precious is that children have learned since childhood, and when the refined salt is overflowing, our Wang family only needs to knock on the side to naturally get this pure method of refined salt.

It's just that by doing so, the short-term interests of our royal family will inevitably suffer. ”

Wang Ji was debunked by his son and did not explain, and the old lady Wang who was sitting tall had already opened her squinted eyes and stared at her grandson intently.

"My father held a family meeting today, including my grandfather's letting go of the Yang family to enter the Binh Duong market, which is probably a test for the family. I proposed the method of poisoning Wei Zhongdao at the beginning, and now that this plan has failed, it has caused such a mistake, and I must come forward to resolve it. ”

Wang Ya was a little helpless and continued with a wry smile: "If this test is passed, then the family will start to clean up Zhixin, Zhidai, these concubines who are a threat to me." If I don't pass the test, I think my Wang Linglu will definitely be thrown out as an outcast to appease the anger of the Wei family. ”

"Okay, good, worthy of my grandson!" Old lady Wang has already stood up, "This is the way of survival of our family, since you can see the Linglu well, then grandpa and your father will no longer do anything to hide."

From now on, the family's resources will be used by you, and your father will not interfere in business problems, and the Hun dead soldiers transferred by King Zuo Xian have been allocated to your name. ”

After Mrs. Wang finished speaking, she walked to the backyard with a cane, and Wang Ji glanced at her son and left with his father.

Wang Ya sat down alone, and did not send his grandfather and father away, he was also a little angry in his heart, and when he was about to take a sip of the teacup, he heard his grandfather's old voice coming.

"Linglu, you can do it boldly, even if you fail, grandpa will fight this old bone to protect you, the best son of the Wang family."
