This is a very spacious mansion in Taiyuan City, and the whole mansion, from the outside, is not very luxurious, very ordinary. However, as soon as you walk inside, you will find that there is something else. Gardens, ponds, pavilions, you name it. And the arrangement is very appropriate, so that people can feel a kind of luxury with honor.

Just by looking at this mansion, you know that such people are not ordinary.

Indeed, this is not an ordinary family, this is the ancestral home of the famous Taiyuan Wang. This Taiyuan Wang family, as one of the six great families today, is of course unusual.

Money, to describe it as a rich country, is not an exaggeration at all, and it is not even indescribable. In fact, in addition to restaurants and inns, they also operate the building behind their backs, which is such a filthy line of the building, although his Wang family operates, but they do not dare to be grandiose.

The business mentioned here is not a business in the general sense, but all over the country, as long as there is a little chalky city, there will be his royal family's industry. The territory of Datang is so vast, even if there is one in each county, the number is also extremely large. With such a large industry, the daily income is astronomical.

The Wang family, this is an extremely large chalk family. In addition to the members of our department, all the side members, as well as the peripheral members, are scattered all over Datang to take care of the business of each place. The members of the lineage are located in the ancestral house of Taiyuan and control the local branches in a unified manner. This important decision of the local branch office can only be implemented after the guidance of the headquarters.

In fact, in addition to Jiang's three businesses, the Wang family also has one big buy-and-sell, that is, the grain business. However, this is carried out in the shadows, after all, this grain can be said to be the most sensitive strategic material. To do this business, if you want to make chalk money, you have to be black-hearted, so-called hoarding grain, waiting for the price and selling. It is all the wealth of the country that is difficult and calamitous.

In this way, it is very easy to offend the court, and leave an infamy among the people. Therefore, being hidden behind the scenes, that is the inevitable choice.

In addition to Ding, of course, the Wang family is also involved in other industries, but compared with these things, it is trivial and not worth mentioning.

It can be said that this Wang family is a super chalk-style business group. In fact, not only the Wang family, but also the remaining five chalk clans, Si Xiang is also in the same situation as the Wang family. It's just that each chalk is involved in a different field.

These six chalk clans never seem to have had any chalky conflicts because of business competition.

However, in reality, it is not that simple. Although there are no members of this royal family who are officials in the court, if you really want to talk about it, the status of this royal family is not inferior to any official and noble, and even surpassed.

Why is that? Because the Wang family is rich? Yes and no. In short, this Wang family and countless officials and officials are inextricably linked. Among them, the specific reason is only known to the parties.

Wang Youde, the eldest grandson of the contemporary Wang family, is also the eldest son of the contemporary Wang family, Wang Tianxiong. Si Shi is also one of the most promising candidates to inherit the next generation of family heads. Such an identity, whether in the Wang family or outside, is very prominent.

Of course, his status in the Wang family is due to the fact that he is the eldest grandson of the lineage, but more importantly, his talent and the contributions he has made to the Wang family.

The reason why this family has been able to prosper and stand tall is in addition to external reasons. The most important thing is because of their internal talent training mechanism. Although the identity of the eldest grandson of the descendant has this advantage, it is not the most important. If the eldest grandson of the lineage is not capable, cannot contribute to the chalk clan, and is not recognized by everyone, it will be in vain.

After all, the entire chalk clan is a combination of interests, and if the chalk clan is honored, all the people of the royal family are noble, and vice versa. How could they allow a straw bale to sit in the position of head of the house?

It has been a while since Wang Youde returned to Taiyuan from Chang'an City. Since that day he learned that Li You, the king of Yan, had an accident and the emperor actually came in person, he ran back to Taiyuan without stopping.

Anyway, the task given to him by the chalk clan has been completed by him. And Li You's matter, although he didn't get the specific situation, but if he could make a prince so miserable, it must be a chalk trouble, and he didn't want to cause such trouble in someone else's territory. As for the matter of the second pot, he didn't know it, and who could do anything to him.

Although, if you get the recipe for brewing and give it to the chalk people, it will definitely be a great achievement. However, he felt keenly that the risks involved were not small. Carefully calculated, it is really not cost-effective, it is not cost-effective to buy chalk and sell, he Wang Youde will not do it. Anyway, after completing the thing that the chalk clan explained, he has already achieved a great achievement, so why bother to take the risk. After all, when it comes to the emperor, it's too big.

After returning to Taiyuan, he was completely relaxed. However, for the matter of Chang'an, he did not completely relax and wanted to know what the specific situation was. After all, Li You's matter is really weird. It's a pity that Li Shimin has already given a gag order for that matter, how can he get the news.

However, although he did not get information about that incident, he did get another information. This is about that Cui Yingying, and the second pot head. He unexpectedly discovered that Cui Yingying was actually helping the emperor do things. This scared him out of a cold sweat, and he was secretly glad that he didn't do it himself.

Not long ago, he also knew the information of the self-service hot pot restaurant launched by Cui Yingying, which made him shocked and scared. was surprised, of course, I didn't expect Cui Yingying to be so ruthless, and directly gave their Wang family a salary from the bottom of the kettle. Through such a model, in one day, countless self-service hot pot restaurants appeared all over the country, coupled with the help of Erguotou, which made their Wang family's restaurant business fall to the bottom all of a sudden.

He couldn't help but sigh that Cui Yingying's move was ruthless enough, absolute enough, and poisonous enough.

At the same time, it also made him very worried. Of course, he wasn't worried that Cui Yingying would come to trouble him, she didn't have that energy yet. What he was worried about was that if the people in the chalk clan knew that he concealed the matter of not reporting the second pot head, and Cui Yingying's actions were to retaliate against him Wang Youde, the chalk clan suffered heavy losses, but they were only affected by the pond fish. In that case, he would be truly tragic.

So, he immediately sent people to clean up all the intellectuals, and then he no longer cared about the affairs of Chang'an City, so as not to bow his suspicions.

And after a long time, he found that it was really no one who mentioned it, which made him happy, and then completely relaxed.

However, today, he suddenly received a message from his subordinates, saying that the head of the family was invited.

"The Child Meets His Father......"

Although I don't know why, "Wang Youde still rushed over immediately, and when he saw Wang Tianxiong, sitting there expressionlessly, Wang Youde immediately saluted respectfully. He had a deep awe for this father. This kind of awe has been accumulated over many years and has gone deep into the bones.

"Come on, sit down"

Seeing Wang You coming in, Wang Tianxiong didn't raise his head, and continued to drink his tea slowly. In that voice, you can't hear half of the joy and sorrow at all.

Hearing his father's words, Wang Youde hurriedly sat on the chair beside him in an orderly manner, and then waited for Wang Tianxiong to speak. However, left and right, but still couldn't wait for any sound. This situation made him feel very depressed and panicked.

"Recently", there have been several chalky incidents in the chalk people, one of which has caused heavy losses to the family members, and the restaurant business of the family has been fatally hit overnight. I don't know about it, have you heard about it?.

Just when Wang Youde was eager to ask directly, Wang Tianxiong spoke slowly, but his tone was still flat, and he couldn't hear any emotion at all. It's just that these bland words made Wang Youde's heart tremble, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

"The child heard about it" seems to have suddenly appeared many self-service hot pot restaurants, which has impacted the chalk restaurant. Well, there seems to be another kind of wine called Erguotou, which is very popular with this diner. ”

It took Wang Youde a long time to calm down, and then he replied half-truthfully. Of course, he can't say that he knows very well, and he can't say that he doesn't know at all.

"Erguotou" is indeed a rare good wine. I heard that this kind of wine seems to have first appeared in Cui Ji Restaurant in Chang'an City, but you were still in Chang'an City at that time. Didn't you pay much attention to it? ”

At that time, the child put all his energy "on the things that the chalk clan had confessed, so he did not pay attention to the matter and hoped that his father would punish ......"

Wang Tianxiong's question made Wang Youde's throat dry for a while, and his hands and feet were cold. Although I don't know how many things Wang Tianxiong knows, after some choices, Wang Youde still chooses to kill and not admit this matter. Anyway, there is no evidence for this. The most important thing is that he had the responsibility of the chalk clan at that time.

Could it be that if you put all your thoughts wholeheartedly on the tasks of the family chalks, you can still make mistakes.

After Wang Youde finished answering, Wang Tianxiong did not speak, but kept drinking tea there, as if the tea was the world's delicacy, making him forget everything in the world.

However, in this way, Wang Youde was guilty, and in the face of this invisible pressure, the panic in his heart was simply extreme.

"Well, it's okay, you can go back first." In the evening, someone will ask you questions.

On the way back, Wang Youde wondered for a while, this thing was a bit inexplicable. However, soon, my heart moved, and I seemed to understand a little.
