Ruixue Trillion Year.

When the first heavy snow of the new year fell from the sky, Hejiazhuang was already full of laughter.

The New Year has an extraordinary meaning for everyone in the village. The young people are a year older and have become more calm, while the old people are getting older and older, but in the hearts of the two old people in Hejiazhuang, they are still full of joy, because their juniors have grown to the point where they can replace them.

The days when they sheltered Hejiazhuang from the wind and rain have gradually passed.

And this may be the ultimate wish of all the old people!

"New Year's competition, officially start ......"

With the angry words of the third uncle He Quanyi, the entire playground resounded with warm applause.

Different from previous years, among the juniors of the He family, there is one more person who has been promoted to the sixth layer of internal strength.

He Yiling, the eldest daughter of the third uncle He Quanyi, has just turned 20 this year, and she is a female master in the third generation. Ordinary peasant girls would have been married long ago at this age, but compared to cultivators, twenty years old would definitely not be an old woman, but rather a flourishing and youthful woman.

So when He Yiling played for the first time, she immediately won the loudest cheers. Her opponent was the second brother He Yihai, and in the face of her sister's attack, He Yihai fought with her for a long time with a wry smile on his face, and then he won a move "by luck". made all the elders of the He family smile.

Subsequently, He Yixuan and He Yitian appeared one after another, and their kung fu became more and more sophisticated.

Under the stimulation of He Yiming, a freak, everyone's requirements for themselves have been raised to a higher level, which has raised the overall combat effectiveness of the third generation of the He family to a new level.

Although they did not break through their respective limits this year, the results they achieved were enough to satisfy the elders.

As for He Yiming, when he just stood up, all the juniors in the arena suddenly dispersed, and no one would take the initiative to come out and show their ugliness when they knew that they would lose.

And with He Yiming's strength, let alone these juniors, even if everyone in He Jiazhuang rushes up, it is impossible to cause him too much trouble.

When He Wude and other elders saw this, they all shook their heads and smiled bitterly. But in their hearts, there was great joy.

There are children in the future, and the foundation of Hejiazhuang will not have any decay for at least a few decades.

In this year's New Year's competition, He Yitian and Cheng Yanli separated from the elders and attended a table alone.

The two of them have been married for a year, and if they are not very affectionate to each other, they are at least respectful of each other, and they are very decent.

It's just that He Yiming vaguely felt that the two of them were a little too polite to each other.

Perhaps, over time, they will truly accept each other.

Of course, not everything is perfect.

If you want to say that the only thing in the family that criticized the two of them after they got married, that is, one year after they got married, they did not add a fourth generation of descendants to the He family.

Although He Wude and the other elders did not say anything about this, they could find some clues from their expressions. It's just that the concealment techniques of the older generation of them are very good, and they didn't let He Yitian and Cheng Yanli notice it.

After the New Year's competition, everyone had dinner together, and then they dispersed.

However, in the compound of the He family, He Wude, the second generation of the He family, He Yitian and He Yiming got together.

What they want to discuss is the development plan of the He family in the next year after the beginning of spring.

In previous years, among the third generation of children, even He Yitian did not participate, but today He Wude called two of the three generations over, and the intention was obvious.

The third generation of the He family began to officially participate in the operation of the village.

A round table with tea on it, He Yiming and He Yitian were responsible for adding water to the elders, listening at the same time, and of course they could also put forward their own opinions.

He Quanming put the year's account book on the table and said, "Dad, this year's income is not bad, and the cost and various expenses of several stores have a total profit of two thousand taels of silver. ”

He Quanyi also threw out an account book and said: "A lot of fields around Zhuangzi have been cultivated, and the income of millet is also very good. He paused and continued: "But hundreds of mouthfuls in the village, people eat horses, plus monthly money, and unexpected rewards, etc., are all a lot of expenses, although it is a slight surplus, but it is not too much. However, the construction and renovation of the premises, as well as the collection of building materials for the future castle, were a large amount, and a total of five thousand taels of silver were spent. ”

He Yitian and He Yiming glanced at each other, and there was a hint of surprise in their eyes, it turned out that everyone in the family had worked hard for a year, but they still couldn't make ends meet.

He Wude nodded slightly, there was no expression on his face, as if he had expected this matter.

"Second brother, how is the Yuan family's business?" the old man asked calmly.

He Quanming's face was suddenly filled with a smile, and he said: "Dad, our cooperation with the Yuan family this year is still very smooth, all the goods have been successfully dissipated, and we have earned a thousand taels of gold." ”

The two brothers opened their mouths, almost unable to believe their ears.

Although gold and silver are both precious metals, the prices between the two are very different. One tael of gold is in the northwest, and it can definitely be exchanged for ten taels of silver.

The profit of a thousand taels of gold is a full ten thousand taels of silver. In comparison, Zhuangzi's loss of five thousand taels of silver a year does not seem to be worth mentioning.

He Wude smiled with satisfaction and said suddenly: "One day, Yiming, now you know." Although we have shops in the city, we will not be able to fill the hole in the next few decades due to the continuous expansion of the mountain resort. And if we want to continue to expand the villa and save up our family, then the business with the Yuan family is the real lifeblood of our He family. ”

He Tiantian hesitated for a moment and said, "Grandpa, is the Yuan family you are talking about, is it the Yuan family in Jinlin Kingdom?"

"That's right, it's the Yuan family of Jinlin. He Wude nodded slightly, and said: "Although they don't have much power in the Jinlin Kingdom, they have a wide range of connections, and the current head of the Yuan family, Yuan Zeyu, is a partner who has traveled the world with me when I was young, and they are definitely the best people to cooperate with our He family." ”

He Yiming glanced at everyone and asked, "Dad, what kind of business do we have with the Yuan family?" ”

He Quanming hesitated for a moment and said, "Smuggling." ”

"Smuggling?" He Yiming said in surprise: "Does our He family still need to rely on smuggling to survive?"

"Of course. He Quanming said in a deep voice: "In fact, the major families are secretly operating all kinds of illegal businesses, and we are just smuggling, which is the cleanest." ”

He Yiming smiled bitterly, unexpectedly in his father's heart, smuggling had become a matter of course.

He Wude coughed lightly and said, "Yiming, if our Hejiazhuang can one day build a castle like Xujiabao, then the annual deficit can be omitted." ”

He Yiming responded, and he secretly said in his heart that the century-old heritage of Xujiabao is indeed much stronger than today's Hejiazhuang.

He Quanyi gently patted the table in front of him and said, "Yiming, Xu and Cheng are the same as us, and they are actually doing the same thing. It's just that now their hands and feet have been much more restrained. But a hundred years ago, when they were just developing, they were far crazier than we are. If not, where do you think their vast fortune came from?"

He Yiming thought about it for a moment, and finally nodded, and all the mustard in his heart disappeared.

"Alright. He Wude waved his hand and said, "Don't discuss this matter, let's talk about Yiling." ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone's brows suddenly furrowed.

Although He Yiling was a cultivator, her cultivation talent was not very good, and it was not until she was twenty years old that she had just successfully broken through to the sixth layer of internal strength.

It can be seen that her future achievements will be very limited, and her daughter's cultivation is more difficult than that of men, and the possibility of her continuing to advance in the future is already very low.

In this case, ordinary female cultivators will give up hard cultivation, and if they are in a family, they can even talk about marriage.

The elders of Hejiazhuang have been having a headache for this matter recently.

Whether it is the Xu family or the Cheng family, they all sent people to the door to propose marriage, and the target was He Yiling.

If it was before, He Yiming would definitely not be worth it. But after this outing, He Yiming understood many things.

It is not easy to make the family completely establish itself in a certain place and pass it on from generation to generation.

Even if Hejiazhuang's strength is unprecedentedly strong at this moment, it is impossible to push the power of the entire county to the opposite side. Otherwise, the tide will ebb and flow, and when the strength of Hejiazhuang declines one day, then the power of the counterattack will be enough to completely wipe out the He family.

Xu and Cheng are the two oldest families in Taicang County, and there are still a few of them standing side by side at the beginning, and some are even dominant in Taicang County, which is very prosperous. But a hundred years later, all of them have failed, and some have even been completely cut off.

Only the Xu and Cheng families developed quietly and slowly, but they became deeply rooted in Taicang County.

This situation is similar to the four great families of the Fire Crow Country, any place, any family, if you want to establish a family that will not fall for thousands of years, then it is impossible to rely on the power of one family.

The faster it rises, the faster it declines.

Only by spreading out the branches, constantly establishing their own contacts, and making friends with the surrounding forces, can they completely integrate their roots into the local area.

In this way, if the strength of the family is at its peak, it can naturally gather the power of one place and absorb all the forces under it.

In the same way, if the power of the family declines, then retreat to the mountains and become dependent on the strong. In short, as long as the blood is endless, there will be the possibility of Phoenix Nirvana and rebirth.

Before the third generation of the He family grew up, although they were also known as one of the three families in Taicang County, their roots and connections were far from being comparable to the other two. If it weren't for the strong force and second to none, there would be no qualification.

However, when the third generation of the He family slowly emerged and showed a thriving trend, they finally won the recognition of the other two families.

After marrying the Cheng family, the two families coincidentally threw the olive branch over again.

Seeing that everyone was silent, He Wude couldn't help but sigh lightly, and said, "Quanyi, you are Yiling's father, you can say it yourself, Xu and Cheng's two families, which one do you choose?"

As soon as the old man's words came out, the tone was immediately set, and He Yiling's future husband could only be chosen between these two families.

He Quanyi smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, this matter is still up to you." ”

He Wude was about to speak, but suddenly closed his mouth and looked out. A moment later, everyone heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from far and near.

Several of them exchanged a puzzled look, and they dared to alarm them at this time, could it be that something big had happened?

He Quanyi immediately stood up and strode out.

After a while, he walked in with a solemn face and said, "Dad, someone from the Jinlin Yuan family is here." ”

He Wude was stunned for a moment, and said, "What are the people of the Jinlin Yuan family doing now, haven't they already prepared gifts for us this year." ”

He Quanyi smiled bitterly: "Dad, I don't know very well, you can see for yourself." ”

With a flick of his wrist, there was already an extra black letter. After seeing this letter, everyone's hearts sank slightly.

During the New Year, it is not an auspicious thing to use this kind of cover. It can be seen that the Yuan family must be in big trouble.

He Wude's face was also solemn, the Jinlin Yuan family was their partner in the smuggling business, if something happened to the Yuan family, then the blow to the He family would be quite heavy. After all, it is not so easy to find another family that is not the top in strength, but has a wide range of connections.

Moreover, the He and Yuan families have cooperated for many years and have formed a tacit understanding for a long time. At least He Quanming is unwilling to change the partner at will.

Picking up the envelope, He Wude opened it and read it carefully and seriously.

"Dad, what's going on?" asked He Quanming first.

He Wude pondered for a moment and said, "The Jinlin Yuan family is in big trouble. He sighed lightly and said, "In Jinlin Zhengtong County, a new family has recently emerged. This family is ruthless, and for the enemy, it has always been to kill them all, leaving no way to live. They took a fancy to the connections and resources in the hands of the Yuan family and wanted to replace them. Hehe, so the Yuan family asked us for help, and promised that if they could help them get through this level, they would give them 10,000 taels of gold, and in the future transactions, they would share another 10% of the profits. ”

His words were extremely plain, but He Quanxin and the others were already moved.

Not to mention the gold taels, even if it is a profit of 10% after each transaction, it is already a very large number, and this is still a long-lasting transaction. For the He family, who wants to continue to expand their power in Taicang County, this money is too important.

"The new family, how strong are they? He Quanxin asked in a deep voice.

He Tiantian and He Yiming looked at each other, and they already knew what He Quanxin meant.

Although the uncle is second only to the old man in his cultivation at home, most of his life's energy has been invested in martial arts, and he really doesn't interfere much in business matters.

Now that even he is paying attention to this, then everyone knows what he means.

He Wude smiled lightly and said, "A family master with tenth-layer internal strength at the peak of his strength is not bad, if he really tears his face, the Yuan family may not be able to gain the upper hand." ”

Everyone nodded one after another, although in Hejiazhuang at this moment, the peak tenth-layer internal strength master does not seem to be nothing, but for a rising family, a tenth-layer internal strength master is already precious, and it is an irreplaceable supreme force.

This can be known by looking at the fact that He Wude also established the He family with his bare hands, and that there are only three tenth-layer internal strength masters in the dignified Wuxie Mansion.

Those who want to cultivate their internal strength to such a level in their lifetime are absolutely rare, and there is no one in ten thousand.

He Quanxin stood up and said, "Dad, let me deal with this matter." ”

He Quanming and He Quanyi both nodded slightly, since they are masters of the tenth layer, then if they want to help boxing, they must also be masters of the same level.

After all, He Wude's age is over eighty, and in comparison, it is naturally more appropriate for He Quanxin to make a move.

He Wude pondered for a moment and said, "Quanxin, you go this time, bring Yiming and Yitian with you, let them participate, and experience it." ”

He Quanxin nodded slightly and said, "Okay, there is a Ming to follow, that is, it is foolproof." ”

Everyone nodded, and in their minds, He Quanxin and He Yiming were both masters of ten-layer internal strength. And if that newly rising family wants to say that there is only one tenth-level internal strength master, then everyone will still believe it, but if there are two or more in that family, then there is absolutely no reason.

Sighing softly, He Yiming said with a bitter face, "I just came back, why do you want to leave again?"

Everyone was stunned, He Quanming's face sank, and he said: "Yiming, don't be joking, this time the matter is very important, if you can't protect the Yuan family, you don't want to get a penny from me next year." ”

He Yiming hurriedly restrained his depressed expression and said, "Daddy, please rest assured, Uncle and I will definitely solve this matter smoothly, and there will definitely be no mistakes." ”

He Quanxin hesitated for a moment, and said suddenly: "Dad, if when we arrive, the Yuan family can't support it and collapses, what should we do?"

He Wude was slightly stunned, and finally said: "If the Yuan family is here, we should spare no effort to support it, but if the Yuan family is already broken, then find a way to continue to cooperate with other families, in short, the road between us and Jin Linguo must not be broken." But there is one thing that must be remembered, that is, try to preserve the descendants of the Yuan family as much as possible, and never let them completely cut off their roots. ”

He Quanxin replied respectfully.

He Yiming's heart moved slightly, and he asked, "Grandpa, what kind of new family is that?"

He Wude glanced at the paper in his hand and said, "Jinlin Fan family." ”

"Fan's family?" He Yiming suddenly remembered the convoy he had encountered on the road, and it seemed that one of them was surnamed Fan. There was a strange look in his heart, it couldn't really be that coincidental.
