"Big young master, big young master, wake up!"

"Young Master, it's time to take medicine, get up quickly!"

"That's right, young master, get up quickly, let's play together after taking medicine!"

The sound of a large number of young women chirping, like a flock of larks, sounded in Zhang Chao's ears.

Zhang Chao rubbed his eyes, opened his eyes, and saw that there was a large circle of beauties around him, there were about a dozen of them, and they were beautiful, graceful, convex and concave, wearing very few cool clothes, and some ** parts were looming.

Zhang Chao suddenly felt a burst of heat in his lower abdomen, and blood and qi suddenly surged up his head.

But as soon as he was about to get up, he felt a sense of powerlessness suddenly spread throughout his body.

"Hmm...... I'm ......" His head was confused, and he vaguely remembered, he seemed to be the eldest young master of this family......

"Come, young master, take this medicine, and your body will slowly get better......" A beautiful woman held a bowl of soup medicine and handed it to Zhang Chao's mouth.

Zhang Chao obediently drank the decoction, and gradually sobered up in his mind.

This is Qingling City, and the Zhang family is the richest man in this Qingling City, the largest family.

Zhang Chao's grandfather was a minister in the court and was powerful, while his father was the president of the Chamber of Commerce in the entire Qingling City, and his business was very large, and he was rarely at home.

The whole family is managed by Zhang Chao's uncle, and the top and bottom are well organized.

But it's a pity that Zhang Chao has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he has to live on various drugs every day, but Zhang Chao's uncle is afraid that he will be lonely and lonely, so he carefully selected many beauties and accompanied Zhang Chao all day long.

I don't know where he heard about it, looking at beautiful women will make you feel relaxed and prolong your life.

But his uncle's kindness Zhang Chao knew, so he never refused.

After drinking the decoction, Zhang Chao coughed for a long time, which was a little better, and was helped up by several beauties from the chair and walked to the pool to enjoy the fish.

Raising his hand to throw a handful of fish food into the pool, Zhang Chao smiled as he watched dozens of eye-catching koi fish swaying their bodies and converging to compete for food.

My life seems to be carefree, but it's too boring, but what can I do?

He was too weak to do anything.

Perhaps, just living for a few years, maybe one day my body can't hold it, and I will take the first step, right?

This life ...... It's ridiculous!

Zhang Chao shook his head, but in any case, compared to those who were born poor and in poor health, he was already very happy.

was looking at those carp in a daze, when suddenly a subordinate hurriedly walked over, and then whispered to Zhang Chao: "Young master, the master is back!"

"Oh, dad is back?" Zhang Chao was a little surprised, usually his father only came home once a month, but this time he only came back after only walking for about a week, there must be something!

He hurriedly followed his subordinates to the living room of the Zhang family.

In the living room, Zhang Chao's father, Zhang Yuanwai, was full of red light, and at the same time, almost all the dignitaries and nobles in the entire Qingling City were there.

"Dad!" Zhang Chao stepped into the living room: "You came back so early?"

"Hehe, Chao'er, Dad, this is a great joy!" Zhang Yuanwai was excited.

After a detailed understanding, Zhang Chao knew that the current emperor had died, and before he died, he appointed Zhang Chao's grandfather to become the new emperor's minister.

The new emperor is still young, as if he is not yet ten years old, Zhang Chao's grandfather is a minister of care, and there is no need to think about how much power he has.

The power is tilted towards the opposition!

The glory of the Zhang family has reached an unprecedented peak at this moment.

As the saying goes, if a person ascends to heaven, the Zhang family has also gained great benefits.

In the next few years, Zhang Yuanwai's business became bigger and bigger, and he seemed to have become the richest man in the dynasty, and he could even be said to be rich.

Zhang Chao's daily life is still the same, sick and sick, and he sees the continuous rise of the Zhang family in his eyes.

However, the sky is unpredictable.

Ten years later, the new emperor grew up.

He didn't want to be at the mercy of others anymore, and began to clear the king's side!

The new emperor secretly consulted with several henchmen, starting with Zhang Chao's grandfather.

Within the entire dynasty, a storm was set off.

Zhang Chao's grandfather was listed as ten crimes and was dismissed and investigated.

At the same time, the forces implicated were intricate and intertwined, and nearly seventy percent of the officials of the entire dynasty were implicated.

The Zhang family inevitably became the target of public criticism.

All the shops of the Zhang family were sealed, and all the important people in the clan, along with Zhang Chao's father and uncle, were arrested, and then the house was raided.

In just one month, the Zhang family, a giant entrenched in the dynasty, completely collapsed, his grandfather was given a white silk hanged himself, and his family was sent into exile.

The Zhang family is broken.

As the so-called trees fall and scatter, the walls fall and everyone pushes them, many of the guys who used to surround the Zhang family like pugs have changed their faces at this time, helping the dynasty to accelerate the demise of the Zhang family.

But whether it is rich or poor, it doesn't seem to matter to Zhang Chao.

He is still the frail and sickly young master, but now the eldest young master has been exiled to the barbarian land of the frontier with his clansmen.

The environment here is too harsh, and there are some barbarian activities, which will even plunder them, making their lives extremely difficult.

Zhang Chao watched his clansmen die because they couldn't stand such an environment, and finally felt that he should do something.

He was going to negotiate with the barbarians first, and the thought made everyone feel crazy.

But everyone couldn't stop him, and on a dark and windy night, Zhang Chao ran out alone and arrived at the barbarian village after all the hardships.

And after thrilling negotiations, Zhang Chao finally succeeded in reaching some agreements with the barbarians.

His father was a businessman, although he had never done business, but he had learned a lot since he was a child, and he had nothing to do except read books on weekdays, and he had accumulated a lot of knowledge.

Together with the Manchus, using limited resources and his rich knowledge, he found a fertile place and began to plant trees, dig rivers to divert water, accumulate farmland, and build cities.

Gradually, the Zhang family and the barbarians merged with each other, and even intermarried, starting a new life in this wild land.

At the same time, Zhang Chao also opened up trade with other dynasties, sold the specialties of the wild land, and established several trade routes, making the life of the entire Zhang family and the barbarians more and more prosperous.

In the blink of an eye, another decade has passed.

Zhang Chao's body is still so bad.

But he has now become the lord of the largest city in the whole of Cyprus, and has maintained trade partnerships with many dynasties, and the entire city is extremely prosperous, like a small kingdom.

At this time, the dynasty where he was originally located began to become chaotic due to years of natural disasters and external and internal troubles.

If it is replaced by someone else, at such a time, if you don't say that you add fuel to the fire, you will also watch the fire from the other side.

After all, although his family made a career in that dynasty, he sank in that dynasty.

But Zhang Chao made his choice.

As soon as possible, he sent someone to send a large amount of supplies unconditionally to settle the refugees, and at the same time, at a huge cost, he built an army to support.

With the help of Zhang Chao, the crisis of that dynasty was overcome.

When the emperor of the dynasty learned of Zhang Chao's identity, he didn't know how to face it, but Zhang Chao said with a smile: "Ten years ago, my grandfather leaned towards the government and the opposition, making the Zhang family the richest man in the dynasty, and His Majesty Qingjun side, let the Zhang family completely fall overnight, it's hard to say who is right and who is wrong." ”

"After all, from anyone's point of view, they have their own ideas. ”

"However, the grass people believe that no matter who is right and who is wrong, everything must not be relied on for their own selfish interests, everything must be viewed from the overall situation, Your Majesty only saw the strength of the Zhang family back then, but did not see the Zhang family's contribution to Your Majesty and this dynasty!"

"Therefore, the Zhang family died, and the economic chain of the dynasty also collapsed, which will lead to the fact that when the natural disaster comes, the imperial court will not be able to make the fastest action!"

"Just like the grass people, I thought I was weak and sick and couldn't do anything, but when I was facing a dead end, I tried my best to create my own brilliance, and I was able to help Your Majesty at this critical moment!"

"People are not afraid to think, they are afraid not to do it, but to do it, don't be blind, to consider success or failure, priorities, grass people think that this is not only the way for the king, but also for the people!"

"People must dare to think and dare to do, but don't ...... blindly" The emperor chewed on this sentence repeatedly, although it sounded rough, but it contained many meanings.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor wanted to reward Zhang Chao, but Zhang Chao politely refused.

......

Zhang Chao woke up again.

He sat cross-legged beside the stele and fell into deep thought.

What is this assessment of yourself?

Is it still a choice?

No...... It doesn't seem that simple.

Finally, he patted his head and understood.

Behave!

Cultivators, forgers, are all human beings.

If you are a human being, you will encounter difficulties, and you will inevitably have a desperate situation.

When encountering a desperate situation, how to face it, not to be arrogant in victory, not to be discouraged in defeat, is exactly what the forger needs most.

Perhaps, when the other forgers pass the assessment of this level, they will rise up when they are exiled to the frontier, which is not difficult, and the most difficult thing should be how to deal with the attitude of the previous dynasty.

People make different decisions and think differently.

Maybe some people will fall into the trap and take the opportunity to take revenge on that dynasty and overthrow it.

Some people may still watch the fire from the other side, and they will also relieve their hatred.

Others may reintegrate into that dynasty and repeat the scenes of their grandfathers.

However, there are probably very few people like Zhang Chao, regardless of the previous suspicions, but then he will clear his relationship.

As the stele shattered again, Zhang Chao felt that perhaps his choice was exactly what Guoyin wanted to see......
