Chapter 51: The Places in the Academies That Were Taken Away
Yang Tang is the head of the Yang family in Muyang City, he was in business when he was young, and spent more than ten years to create today's family business, and the Yang family clan who was in charge of the Lu Wang's Mansion was also able to go to the capital with the help of Yang Tang, and had the opportunity to enter the command of Prince Lu, Yang Steward was the backer of the Yang family, and Yang Tang was also the backer of Yang Steward.
Although he is only the richest man in Muyang City, compared with the rich businessmen in the world, he is not more brilliant, but it should not be underestimated, Yang Tang is self-made, and he has a unique ability to build his family business today.
Of course, if you have wealth, you must know how to keep it, no matter how much money you make, if you can't keep it, it will be in vain.
Therefore, Yang Tang also attaches great importance to the cultivation of younger generations, but the so-called environment changes personality, coupled with the influence of the day after tomorrow, the eldest son is fine, but the second son is gradually developing in the direction of the younger son.
Yang Tang didn't care much about these things, he had two sons, as long as one of them could inherit the family business, it didn't matter how the second son was, just be happy.
It is with this kind of thinking that he is very strict with the eldest son, but he is very doting on the second son, which also leads to the completely different personalities of the two children, the eldest son helps to make money for the family, while the second son thinks about throwing money in the law.
Now that Yang Tang is also old, his former ambitions have also been extinguished, and he just hopes that he can have a full house of children and grandchildren and protect the Yang family.
In addition to cultivating his eldest son, he has also attracted a lot of people over the years, and he also has his own martial arts guards, even if he is called a martial arts family.
But after all, he still thought about the cultivator, if there was a cultivator to take care of the family, the Yang family would definitely go to the next level.
In the entire Jiang country, except for some weak wild cultivators who condescended to the Shang clan, only the Ye clan was able to gather a large number of cultivators as guards.
With the strength of the Yang family, he only dares to be called the richest man in Muyang City, compared with the Ye clan, which is the richest man in Jiang Country, he is really an ant-like existence, but Yang Tang's vision is very high, he not only wants to be on an equal footing with the Ye clan, but even wants to surpass the Ye clan, he has been working hard for this, but unfortunately there is not much progress at present.
As he was thinking about how to attract more cultivators, he was awakened by the noise in the house.
He pushed open the door of the study, and the martial artists of the Yang family gathered in the courtyard, all holding weapons, and the housekeeper was extremely embarrassed and howling, and the whole thing was in chaos.
Seeing this scene, Yang Tang's face was extremely ugly, although he had temporarily handed over many business matters to his eldest son to take care of, but he was still in charge of the family's affairs, and his majesty was still there.
"Butler!"
The thunderous voice came into the ears of the butler of the Yang Mansion, and his appearance of hiding behind the martial artist and shouting suddenly stiffened, and he turned his head to see Yang Tang standing under the corridor, and in a panic, he crawled to the front, "Master!
Yang Tang, who was about to open his mouth to reprimand, looked slightly stunned, he silently looked at the housekeeper's frightened face, and said angrily: "You are the housekeeper of my Yang Mansion, why are you so embarrassed, I don't think you want to sit in this position!"
The housekeeper of the Yang Mansion said very aggrievedly: "Master, don't blame me, many people in our house have been knocked down, and the person who made the trouble is Du Changgeng, he has a martial artist, and his skills are very powerful, and he has already come in." ”
"Du Changgeng?" Yang Tang frowned tightly and said, "That scholar?"
Of course, he knew who Du Changgeng was, not to mention the name of Du Changgeng's first genius in Muyang City, and the second son Yang Huan's entrance to the academy was completely Yang Tang's meaning.
Otherwise, just a gentleman, where would the idea of taking the college entrance examination come up.
He knew very well that there were cultivators in the Pear Blossom Academy in the capital, and this matter was also told to him by the steward who worked in the Luwang Mansion, in the eyes of ordinary people, the Pear Blossom Academy was just the largest study hall in Jiang Country, and the rich and noble families would of course hope that their children could study in the academy, which also represented their status to a certain extent.
But the academy is by no means an ordinary study hall, and it is not something that can be entered by spending money, and can only be admitted by ability.
If this is just the case, Yang Tang will not care too much, even if he has the idea of letting his son become an official, any study hall can be studied, there is no need to enter the academy, and those who can enter the academy are already talented scholars, not children who have not read.
It's just because the clan member of the Yang family is working in the Luwang Mansion, and the level of contact is far deeper than that of Yang Tang, which also makes him understand that Pear Blossom Academy is not only a academy, but even has the ability to influence the court, and the most important thing is that there are many cultivators in the academy.
Yang Tang dreamed of making the Yang family an existence like the Ye clan, if he could enter the academy, it would also mean that he could get in touch with cultivators, and the eldest son worked hard for the family business, and there was no way for him to make time to take the academy exam, so this heavy responsibility naturally fell on the second son Yang Huan, who had nothing to do.
But Yang Huan is just a gentleman, how can he have any knowledge, and it is extremely difficult to get into the academy, many people who have studied hard for ten years can't get in, and the academy entrance examination is much more difficult than the court exam, but Yang Tang, as a businessman, of course has a way to send Yang Huan to the academy.
After all, the Yang family is different from the side family, there are clan relatives working in Prince Lu's mansion, which is a good opportunity to use.
But Yang Tang still underestimated the threshold of the academy after all, he racked his brains, and even spent a lot of money and silver, and used all means, but only let Yang Huan get a place in the academy, as for whether he can enter the academy, it still depends on the results of the exam.
Of course, he had thought of using fraud to send Yang Huanan into the academy safely, but the academy examination room was extremely strict, it could be described as airtight, and there was even a special army guarding it, not even a fly wanted to fly in, and there was no possibility of fraud at all.
used his connections in the capital and spent a lot of money, but Yang Huan got the last result and ran home obediently, almost not Yang Tang to death.
Of course, doing business must have contacts and contacts, there are in and out, and there are more to go out and go more.
It made Yang Tang feel haggard and almost seriously ill, and he also cut off the absurd idea of using the academy to win over cultivators.
And Yang Huan was able to get the quota for the academy, of course, he took it from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Du Changgeng was a friend of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and this grievance was real.
It's just that Yang Tang never put Du Changgeng in his eyes, even if Du Changgeng has done a lot of things because of this, and even found the government order of Muyang City, but Yang Tang still ignored it, but he didn't expect that Du Changgeng would dare to come directly to the door to find something at this time.
This couldn't help but make Yang Tang recall the loss of 'business' again, which can be described as angry.
At this time, Li Mengzhou and Du Changgeng walked in from the arched courtyard gate side by side.
In the courtyard beyond this arch, a place of people can be faintly seen.
Yang Tang's gaze only swept over Du Changgeng's body, and then fixed on Li Mengzhou's body, after all, he was the head of the Yang family, he quickly controlled his emotions, looked at Li Mengzhou indifferently, and said with a smile: "This young man is really brave, my subordinates in this house, just pull out one, it is at least a martial artist in the first grade, and there are not a few people above the fourth grade, but even the young man did not resist for a moment, and he is really a young hero." ”
The highest realm of the people in the outer courtyard is the sixth grade, and the lowest person who guards the Yang Mansion family is also the sixth grade, at this moment, perceiving the movement in the mansion, even if several figures swept out of the courtyard wall, standing beside Yang Tang, their faces were cold, holding all kinds of weapons, and their breath was strong.
Li Mengzhou's gaze swept over those people one by one, and said with a smile: "It is worthy of being the richest man in Muyang City, and he actually has an eight-grade martial artist as a servant, thinking that the Lin family in Shanhe Town is known as a martial arts family, compared to it, it is really a bit embarrassing." ”
Muyang City is a city after all, the richest man in a city, which is comparable to the Lin family, who can't even be called the richest man in the mountain and river town.
Among the martial artists standing beside Yang Tang, there are indeed masters who have reached the eighth-rank realm, and the rest are also seventh-grade realms, even in the larger gangs of Jiangguo are enough to win the position of gang leader, but they deign to be servants in a wealthy businessman's family, and the strength of the Yang family is really not to be underestimated.
Yang Tang had never heard of the Lin family in Shanhe Town, but Li Mengzhou compared the Yang family with the small families in Shanhe Town, which made Yang Tang feel a little unhappy.
His eyes gradually became cold, and he said: "You are young, you are already a strong martial arts person, but you are mixed with Du Changgeng, a scholar, and come to provoke my Yang family, it is really true to think about it, I don't know that the rivers and lakes are sinister, who can offend, who can't offend." ”
Finally seeing the main man, Du Changgeng's long-suppressed emotions finally broke out, although the person who took away the quota in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was Yang Huan, but Yang Tang, as the head of the Yang family, had no possibility of not knowing at all, Yang Huan was just a gentleman, and the real mastermind behind the scenes could only be Yang Tang.
Su and Zhejiang died of illness, and Yang Tang and Yang Huan, father and son, were the biggest murderers.
"Yang Tang!" Du Changgeng almost roared, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was red, and he stared at Yang Tang viciously, "Do you remember who Su Zhe is?"
Yang Tang sneered and said: "The most important thing in the world is to read, you don't need to be so fierce, because it looks ridiculous, I regret letting Huan'er take the academy, he doesn't have that ability at all, I take it for granted, I see the academy as a place where you can enter with silver, but if Su Zhejiang dies or not, what does it have to do with my Yang family?"
"Even if the quota is replaced, he only needs to wait for another three years before he can still go to the academy, but his psychological tolerance is too poor, who can blame him?"
"You people who read are all fools who only know the books of sages, Su and Zhejiang, you Du Changgeng too, the writing notes all over the city, were beaten and scolded, what kind of fool would do such a ridiculous thing?"
