Due to today's work, both chapters were changed to 9 o'clock in the morning, and they will no longer be sent in the evening......

As soon as Wang He said this, even Wang Huaqiang was taken aback, and Wang Huawei and Wang Huashi's faces changed greatly, and they all stepped forward to speak.

Wang He waved his hand, the expression on his face was resolute: "Needless to say, our family can afford this money, and this is basically the best opportunity for the three of you to become officials. 300,000 money is enough for 2,000 people for half a year's military supplies, and if it is not enough, it can be added. ”

Wang Huashi and the others reluctantly responded yes, what Wang He decided would never change, but he was always reluctant in his heart, and his voice was much quieter.

Wang He sighed, leaned back to the head of the bed, closed his eyes, and said slowly: "Father knows, you don't understand why I want to force you to be an official.

Maybe you all think that as long as the family has money, you will have a qiē, and it doesn't matter if you are an official or not, and there is no need to risk your life to seek fame on the battlefield, right? ”

This idea is indeed everyone's voice, even Wang Huaqiang's subconscious thought so, and when he heard Wang He say this, they all bowed their heads and were silent.

Wang He opened his eyes and looked around at his sons, his voice low and deep: "My father has never mentioned to you about our Wang family before, and I basically don't mention it to your grandfather, and I also know that several of your children are very interested in this."

But since the Mid-Autumn Festival fourteen years ago, after Hua Wei, who mentioned this matter during dinner, was punished by me in public, the three of you brothers never dared to mention this matter again, and have always kept it in your hearts. But for the father to know, how can a child not want to ask the grandfather's origins? Today, the Father will tell you this. ”

The three brothers' eyes lit up all of a sudden, and they all raised their heads, only to hear Wang He's voice sounding calmly: "Our Wang family is different from ordinary people, not the eldest son, but the most shrewd and capable Hua Qiang to take charge of the family business, do you know why?" ”

Wang Huaqiang pondered for a while and said what he had thought in his heart for many years: "If the child's expectations are not bad, our family should be mixed with some Hu blood, not orthodox Han Chinese." ”

Wang He nodded: "Yes, in fact, our surname is not Wang, but Lu, our Lu family is a wealthy merchant in Liangzhou and the Western Regions, and only moved to the Central Plains from your grandfather's generation." ”

Although Wang Huaqiang was somewhat mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he heard this, raised his head suddenly, and said in a trembling voice: "How can this be? Grandfather and Ah Da are not from Guanzhong? ”

Originally, he always thought that his father might be the concubine of the Wang family, and he did not inherit the family business and was driven out of his hometown in Bacheng, but he didn't expect that even his grandfather was a foreigner.

The other brothers all opened their mouths wide and were speechless in shock.

Wang He sighed: "Your grandfather, surnamed Lu, has always been doing business in the Western Regions and Liangzhou, and our Lu family has taken root in Guzang, the capital of Liangzhou, an important town on the Silk Road, when it came to your grandfather's generation.

And your grandfather was a business genius, and when he was in his thirties, he had already surpassed many wealthy businessmen on the Silk Road and became the richest man in Guzang City. ”

When Wang He said this, his eyes were shining, and Wang Huaqiang heard the glorious deeds of his ancestors, and he didn't blink his eyes, in the past few years, he has also walked the Silk Road with his own caravan several times, went to Guzang, and saw the rich people there, but he didn't expect his grandfather to be able to get ahead among these people.

Seeing the expressions of Wang Huaqiang and the other sons, Wang He knew that they were yearning for their grandfather, and continued: "But although your grandfather is rich and rivals the country, he overestimated the power of money and did not know enough about power. After he became the richest man on the Silk Road, he was not satisfied, and wanted to dominate Guzang City and squeeze out several other wealthy businessmen. ”

Wang Huaqiang's face changed, and he lost his voice: "What? He wants to squeeze out the rich like the An family and the Li family? ”

Wang He nodded: "Exactly, how high the sky is, how big your grandfather's heart is, he wants to dominate the Silk Road." ”

Wang Huaqiang sighed, his gaze turned gloomy: "No wonder we are here now." Ah Da, did my grandfather join forces with those wealthy families, colluded with the government to fight back, and finally went bankrupt? ”

Wang He was slightly stunned: "How do you know?" ”

Wang Huaqiang's vision became profound: "The so-called wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, the An family and the Li family in Guzang are rich people who have gone through hundreds of years and more than ten generations, in addition to the assets on the books, connections, relationships and heritage are intangible wealth."

Since the Han Dynasty opened the Western Regions, the open and secret battles on the Silk Road for hundreds of years, and the change of dynasty have not shaken the status of these wealthy families, how can our Lu family be dominant. ”

Wang He's eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice: "Hua Qiang, go on." ”

Wang Huaqiang stood up, put his hands behind his back, and paced in the room: "Ah Da, I'll just give you an example, you may be clear."

Three hundred years ago, when the Wuhu Rebellion and Shenzhou Lu Shen, Guzang City was already the center of Liangzhou, and the forces of Zhuhu and Han warlords fought for each other around this place, and fought for a hundred years, and finally the Northern Wei Dynasty unified the north and completely controlled Guzang.

In these more than 100 years of bloody battles, Guzang City can be said to be the head of the city to change the king's flag, you sing and I will appear, but the rich merchants in this Guzang City have not been affected, and the business is getting bigger and bigger.

They sell military horses in wartime, silk in peacetime, like the An family and the Li family, they make a small fortune in peacetime and a big fortune in wartime, and those warlords are helpless against them, Ah Da, do you know the reason? ”

Wang He shook his head, he had been an official since he was a child, and he didn't know much about this matter.

Wang Huaqiang continued: "Because not much of the money of these rich people is deposited in the former residence of Guzang City, they pay tribute and pay taxes to the rulers who occupy Guzang on the one hand, and transfer this money elsewhere on the other hand.

If any of the rulers had the idea of attacking their wealth, they would cut off the Silk Road trade, so that these warlords could not collect taxes, and in the end they could only obediently release them, so that the two sides could be safe.

Therefore, in the eyes of the child, the most powerful thing about these wealthy businessmen is not the scale of the business of the current generation, but the contacts accumulated over hundreds of years.

Whether it is in the Western Regions or in the interior of the Central Plains, if someone really wants to fight them, then they will definitely be able to collude with the government to fight back, until you squeeze your power out of Guzang and can no longer gain a foothold in the business world. ”

Wang He sighed: "I see, if your grandfather knew this truth, he would not have returned home." ”

Wang Huaqiang's brows were deeply locked, and the green glint flashed in his eyes: "Ah Da, you just said that when you reached your grandfather's generation, you only took root in Guzang City, and he probably didn't know how terrible these Guzang wealthy businessmen were in terms of money and connections.

That's why it fails in the end. If the child expected to be good, he should have been suppressed by these people and the government, as well as the wealthy businessmen in the mainland, and finally had to go bankrupt and leave Guzang. ”

A painful expression appeared on Wang He's face, and he closed his eyes: "Hua Qiang is right, your grandfather was suppressed by the rich people of Guzang City and the government, today he said that his caravan was smuggling, and tomorrow he said that his guards were bandits, and he was looking for trouble in three days, and the business would not be able to continue."

And the goods he transported to the mainland of the Central Plains for sale were driven out of the market by the local local snakes and banned from selling, and in the end your grandfather had to sell his ancestral business and come to this Xinfeng.

He was originally a high-minded and arrogant man, but when he suffered such a setback, he could not swallow this breath, and soon left with hatred, and was not yet thirty-five years old when he left. And your grandmother with three children has no way to make a living, so she has to remarry Yitong Wang Jie from the nearby Bacheng, who is the grandfather you know, and the father changes his surname to Wang.

Wang Jie's family lives in the Guanzhong area, the family has been martial since childhood, that Wang Shiji's father, Wang Ya, the general of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, is the son of his eldest brother, because Wang Jie and his eldest brother are much older than him, even a few years younger than Wang Ya, so the age of the father is also similar to your cousin Wang Shiji.

Wang Jie's position was also earned by fighting for his life on the battlefield. But he is a concubine at home, and he has no family business, and when your grandmother married him, she still had some money in her hands, and he also relied on this money to buy some property and start this royal business.

Later, your grandmother did not give birth to other children with him, and your father and your two uncles inherited the family business of the Wang family, and the two of them were in the former residence of the Wang family in Bacheng, while the father was a business and study since childhood. ”
