Chapter 659: Back in Time
Going back to the past requires accurate time, and only Chen Kaili knows this accurate time.
After Chen Kaili saw Wei Chiran, the first thing she said was: "Have you found my parents?" ”
Wei Chiran didn't know how to explain to this child, he couldn't tell this child, your family of three had already died? Wei Chiran had no choice but to tell Chen Kaili: "I can help you find your parents soon, soon, but before that, you have to do me a favor." ”
Chen Kaili asked, "What's busy?" ”
Wei Chiran said: "You have to tell me the exact time when Ni Yang snatched the Shenxing Shoes from the treasure house. ”
Chen Kaili pondered for a moment and said, "July 14, 1916. ”
Wei Chi repeated this date, and now the trouble was how flexibly he could use the two supreme treasures, the secret armor and the Five Elements Pill, or rather, these two supreme treasures could only be used by him.
Wei Chiran needed to reach the periphery of the treasure house on July 13, 1916, and then make sure that Ni Yang went in and snatched the Shenxing Shoes, and then took it from him after he came out, but the problem was that with Wei Chiran's current ability, he was not 100% sure that he wanted to defeat Ni Yang, even if he dragged Ni Yang into his consciousness space, there was nothing he could do, unless someone could cooperate.
Because while Wei Chiran dragged people into his consciousness space, he himself would also enter, in other words, both of them would be trapped in it, Wei Chiran would return to reality, and Ni Yang would also get out of trouble, if it was not in an absolutely safe environment, Wei Chiran would be the one who suffered.
Hu Shuntang proposed that it was better to let Wei Chi Ran go back in advance, and then go directly to Tang Anshu at that time to help, but in terms of time, Tang Anshu was only a teenager at that time, and asking him for help would only backfire, and besides, Tang Anshu at that time didn't understand what was going to happen later.
Wei Chi thought about it: "Why don't I go to the lone army at that time for help?" ”
The falcon disagreed: "No, it's too risky, the plan you left behind will not be revealed until now, and the lone army at that time only knew about some of them, not all of them, and it was counterproductive to rashly ask the lone army at that time for help." ”
The reason why he thinks of this person is because Nian Chengkai is an alternative among the cargo chasers, because other chasers are looking for strange goods in the world, and he is looking for strange things in the world, the more weird things he likes, and he likes to be nosy, so he got a nickname called "Idle Year".
Wei Chiran asked: "You mean, let me go to Nian Chengkai for help?" But how could he help? ”
"I have heard the master mention this person before, this person is kind-hearted, and claims to be the only one in the alien way who has not done anything wrong, he is the kind of person who would rather suffer his own losses than take advantage, many people will go to him when they are desperate, but the condition is that the person must have a strange thing, and it must be the kind that attracts him, if it is a fabricated story, he is happy to hear it, and will pay for it, if the story is true, and he confirms it, then he will do his best to help." ”
Wei Chiran always felt that this matter was not very reliable, so he found a cargo chaser to help him steal the gods, and he had never met him, and he didn't know anyone here. So, he could only look at the others, wondering if they knew about this person.
Tang She, Tang Qianlin, and Tang Anshu all shook their heads and said that they had never heard of this person, but Zhan Tianya knew, which showed that only Nian Chengkai existed in World No. 1, and there was no such person in World No. 2. In addition, Shenxing is in World No. 1, so it seems that the only option is to go to Nian Chengkai, a nosy person, for help.
In order to let Wei Chiran adapt to the environment of the Republic of China more quickly, Tang Anshu and An Wanghai gave him a full week of lessons, just to let him understand the early years of the Republic of China, An Wanghai also taught Wei Chiran a few methods, so that he could use them in times of danger, of course, they are some speculative methods of trading.
Lao He used some of the inventory in the 517 warehouse to give Wei Chiran a wicker box, which contained 300 oceans and 10 gold bars, which were enough for him to live during the Republic of China, but the most important thing was to find Nian Chengkai.
According to the intelligence of the No. 1 World Underworld, in 1916, Nian Chengkai appeared in Tianjin, where he was investigating a strange case, and this case also became a big regret in Nian Chengkai's life, because he didn't find out what was going on in the end.
In fact, few people knew about this case in Tianjin in the early years of the Republic of China, because it was the Xie family of Jinmen who had the accident. When Zhan Tianya just recounted this, Lao He was stunned: "Tianjin Xie family? ”
After that, Lao He naturally looked at Xie Meng: "Xie Meng, if I'm not mistaken, your ancestor is the Xie family in Tianjin, right?" ”
Xie Meng seemed reluctant to mention this matter: "Yes, my ancestor is from the Xie family of Jinmen, but that was a long time ago, besides, the person you are looking for is in World No. 1, does it have anything to do with World No. 2?" ”
Wei Chiran asked, "There must be some kind of connection between each world, has anything strange happened to your ancestors?" ”
"Of course, if it weren't for the major changes, the Xie family in Jinmen would still be the largest local medicine merchant now," Xie Meng sighed, "However, I haven't known anything about what happened at that time, my brother Xie Qingfei is interested, you can ask him." ”
Wei Chiran and Xie Meng flew directly to the Chinese town and went to Xie Qingfei's shop to find him, Xie Qingfei was very surprised to see the two of them coming, and the strange things that happened in the other way during this time already made him feel that the world was chaotic. Obviously, at the beginning, it was rumored that 517 and the lone army joined forces, and then they turned against each other, and finally the lone army controlled the different way, and then the different way joined forces with 517 again, what happened in this?
Wei Chiran didn't explain much to Xie Qingfei, but just asked him what happened to the Jinmen Xie family at the beginning, he had to determine if it was the same as the matter of the Jinmen Xie family in the No. 1 World, and he had to make sufficient preparations to go to 1916.
Xie Qingfei heard that Wei Chi was going to ask about his ancestors, so he hurriedly asked, "Why?" ”
Xie Meng said first: "You just say it, you don't need to know the rest." ”
Xie Qingfei's face was full of suspicion, but seeing that his sister was so tough, he couldn't ask anything more, so he had to say: "Our Xie family relied on salt to make a fortune in Tianjin, then relied on dang, and finally relied on medicine." ”
In other words, the Xie family first started as a salt merchant in Tianjin, then opened a pawnshop, and finally became a pharmacist. At that time, there was a saying called the eight families of Jinmen, in fact, it was just a general reference, referring to the wang clan of Jinmen, because from the Qing Dynasty, there were indeed eight wang clans in Jinmen, and then it decreased, and then it increased, and later people collectively referred to the wang clans of Jinmen as the eight families.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, under the influence of Caoyun and the salt industry, Tianjin's commerce and trade were very developed, and the sales of salt also changed from a state monopoly to attracting investment, and the implementation of the monopoly of the introduction of cases, that is to say, after the salt tax was paid in full in advance, the merchant had the right to sell salt in a certain place. Therefore, in the early years, almost all of the eight families made their fortunes from salt.
The Xie family is one of the eight families, and it is also a big family that has maintained its prosperity from the beginning of the Qing Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. However, the Xie family is very strange, the Xie family has always been the second in charge, the boss is the shopkeeper, he doesn't care about anything, even if he has a chance, he can't let him be in charge at home, this rule is only the Xie family, which has also become a big strange thing for the Xie family.
Xie Qingfei said: "Since ancient times, the family business has been established, and the eldest son is considered first, but our Xie family is different, even if the eldest son is a gentleman, the whole family has to be supported, and it must be supported by four households." ”
Wei Chiran asked, "What does it mean to make offerings to four households?" ”
Xie Qingfei explained: "Our Xie family is divided into four households, which are distinguished according to the font size of the peers, No. A is long, No. B is Yuan, No. C is Deng, and No. D is Qian. In order to be fair, once every four years, A, B, C, and D take turns to be in charge, the reason why this is necessary is because the Xie family is too big, and the people are also very prosperous. ”
Wei Chiran asked again: "Who is the biggest, Yuan, Deng, and Qian?" ”
Xie Qingfei shook his head: "No matter how big or small, all are equal, not according to age, but the son who was born first in the four households, no matter which household it is, doesn't need to do anything in this life, just enjoy it, eat it and wait for death." ”
Xie Meng frowned: "There is such a thing?" How I don't know. ”
Xie Qingfei said: "Sister, you haven't cared about it at all, okay?" ”
The head of household No. A is called Xie Changfu, the head of No. B is called Xie Yuancai, No. C is called Xie Denggui, and No. D is called Xie Qianxiang. And the eldest son of the Xie family is Xie Yuancai's eldest son, named Xie En, and his nickname is even more bizarre, called thank you.
Xie Meng laughed when he heard this, Xie Qingfei saw his sister laughing heartlessly, and scolded: "People laugh, you laugh too, do you want to be shameless?" ”
Xie Meng said: "This is indeed very funny, thank you, thank you for your nickname, who came up with this?" ”
Wei Chiran didn't laugh, because when he heard this, he found that it was exactly the same as the information given by the Xie family from the No. 1 World.
Xie Qingfei said: "Everything starts with the eldest son of this generation, this Shane has been very serious since he was a child, the key is that the family didn't expect him to be promising, but this kid is like a genius, he shouted to go to the counter in his teens, but was stopped by his family, saying that he was not allowed to go, his task was to eat, drink and have fun, but this Shane was unwilling, he thought he was much smarter than those younger brothers, but he had to do business......"
Xie En tried his best, the Xie family just didn't allow him to do business, and gave him fun and delicious food every day, but Xie En was unwilling, so he secretly followed his third uncle, that is, Xie Denggui, and began to go in and out of the pawnshop.
The Xie family has four households, although they have to take turns to be in charge, but each family has its own scope of management, No. A manages the salt industry, and No. B manages its own wealth, which is equivalent to the treasurer, just like the current finance, No. C manages the pawnshop, and No. D manages the trading of medicinal materials.
The four households perform their own duties, but they know the scope of each other's management well, so as to avoid hiding selfishness because they don't understand each other.
