'Life', the foundation of human beings, but for troubled times, it is not worth a penny, extremely cheap, not to mention war, it is hunger, every day will take the lives of countless people.

But life is also worthy of awe, and in order to live, people work every day, no matter how humble, just to live.

Troubled times, wars, and hunger may not see an end, nor can they be changed, but for the continuation of life, people persevere.

Especially when a new life is born, no matter how hard life is, the new life is always a continuation of hope.

The Jiang family, the largest family in Jinyang and even the state at the moment, is also the decision-maker of the future destiny, today's lanterns are colorful, all the gentry in the city who have heads and faces, whether there is a letter of invitation or not, will send people early, from the sunrise to the time of the lantern, the long queue of gifts before the gate has not been broken, only hope to take advantage of this to climb a little relationship.

The guests came to the door and the banquet was joint, only to congratulate the Jiang family on the import. A month ago, Jiang Lin, the eldest lady of the Jiang family, gave birth to a son, who was just full moon today, although his surname was Zhao, but no one despised him, not to mention that his uncle was the decision-maker of the state, that is, his father Zhao Yun was already a famous general in the world. With this, he will also be destined to be extraordinary in this life, just like the name 'Guang', maybe he will be the next flying general.

However, his father Zhao Yun is not very competent, the child was born with a full moon, and he has not yet seen each other, and he only repairs the book and names it 'Guang'. Of course, it is not that Zhao Yun is ruthless, it is really what is needed in the army, and now that the state is newly determined, he, as the aunt of the Jiang family, naturally has to stand up. On the Taiyuan portal of the party, who else can he be, even if Jiang Qi asked whether to adjust the defense, he also refused.

The full moon greeting, although it is not a big feast, but the Jiang family's status is in the front, and the relocation office has been busy since then, and it has not been idle, Jiang Qi also took this opportunity to entertain colleagues and contact feelings.

The banquet was full of friends, and the naughty children looked around, although it was indecent, but it was very lively. After several years of precipitation, the Jiang family's soldiers are much stronger.

Among the chattering naughty boys, whether it is the naughty Jiang Luo, Zhang Bao, Guan Suo, Zhao Tong, or the quiet Jiang Rui, Xun Shi, Xun Mata, and Zhong Yu, they all indicate the future. Half-sized children, such as Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Dian Man, and Xun Yun, show that Jiang Jiajun has successors.

However, Jiang Qi, who toasted around during the banquet, looked a little interested, and the smile on his face didn't seem to be very real, just like Zhong Xuan, who didn't drink with his heart.

The banquet did not last long, not counting the joy of the guests and hosts, now Jin Yang has just changed the owner, it is not peaceful, the chickens and dogs often happen, the curfew order has not been canceled, there is no traffic order after a change, and the wine banquet will end before the curfew.

Personally seeing off the last of the clansmen, Jiang Qi ignored the servants who were busy cleaning up the banquet, and then headed towards the backyard study under the guidance of the lantern. There were several puzzled figures waiting for him.

"Father? Boxiao has never invited us together so formally before, is there anything important today? "The late night in spring is still very cold, and a middle-aged man in the large study room that has not caught fire stomps his feet and asks the old man who is flipping through the books.

"Have you done anything lately?" As early as two years ago, he relieved himself of the responsibility of the head of the family, and now he only plays chess, fishes, and reads, and Jiang Qun, an old man who enjoys time, did not answer his son's impatience, but twisted his beard lightly.

"Not really?? After receiving a notice from my sister that Boxiao would move to Jinyang, we have been busy transferring shops, and the newly bought mansion has not yet had time to be sorted out, so there is time to mess around......" The old man's question is also something that several people here have been thinking about repeatedly, Jiang Xiang, who has not understood Jiang Qi's purpose, shook his head and denied it.

"Could it be that Boxiao has some difficulties, and you want us to help, right? For more than a month, he was recruiting troops and building a city, so he must have spent a lot of money, and I heard that warehouses were being opened in various places to release grain, and according to the expenses, even if Zijie could get money, it would not be bad enough. The purpose was unclear, suspicious, and Jiang Xi, who had always been a little uneasy, then thought.

"If so, it may make sense, but if it is to raise supplies, you should call all the people in charge of the clan? Father, saying that since the last time Boxiao was injured, it seems that he has not been in person with the clansmen as before, so let's talk about the battle of Taiyuan and Shangdang, Bo'er and Feng'er They didn't participate, and they didn't even change their guards, but Jiang Wei, who was out of the house, has been reused, and now his status in the state capital is far beyond Bo'er, is there anything inside? ? Hearing the speculation, Jiang Hai, who was pacing around, sighed even more, now that he is the head of the family, he doesn't care about any material things, but he is even more nervous about the family status, and then said.

"Brother doesn't say it, I don't think so! The last time Feng'er went home, he said about it, in the past, Boxiao liked to use soldiers the most, but it is strange that he has never been sent since Xiliang, not only this battle of annexing the state, but also a few years of suppressing bandits and counterinsurgency have not sent troops. Many of the older soldiers chose to retire and go home to get married and have children. Moreover, Feng'er said that the soldiers chose to retire, and the army handled it very quickly, and never kept a ......" Thinking about it carefully, Jiang Xiang immediately echoed when he heard his brother's words.

"According to my brother's meaning, Boxiao wants to cross the river and tear down the bridge? I think he was an outcast at the beginning, if it wasn't for the help of the clan, he would be where he is today. Let's just say that his title was earned by how many clansmen died, and if we hadn't pooled the money to send it to the imperial court, he might have been killed by the emperor a long time ago, and he would still be alive until now. Saying this, who couldn't understand it, the complaint immediately came out of Jiang Xi's mouth.

"Uh-huh!! A few of you, you are not confused, why are you still full of nonsense, and you can't hide something in your heart. How can such a character be a big thing, no wonder Boxiao did not respond to your request. Well, maybe that's it, you can live your life in peace! Also, for the father, remind you again, if you want to be rich, you should take care of your own mouth, and even more so yourself. Wait for Boxiao to do whatever he asks you to do, listen to it, and cooperate well. Remember that Bo Xiao is a person who does great things, and his little bit of careful thinking about you can see it clearly, but he doesn't want to care. At present, the world is in chaos, and it is the time when Boxiao is now separating one side and needs to unite, at this moment you just need to obey and promise your father, when you are old, you will look back and feel how naïve your thoughts are at this time......" One sentence by sentence, all turning over old accounts and pulling hatred, the old man who was still reading calmly finally couldn't help it, and immediately interrupted with a cough and reprimanded.

"Father can ......" and said that he was not angry, and he was slapped on his head and face without thinking about it, Jiang Xishang was not convinced, and wanted to refute.

"My father is already old, and you have your own family, maybe you don't think anything is true now, and that's all you say today, and ask for more blessings in the future. The world is in chaos right now, and tomorrow doesn't know what will happen tomorrow. However, I hope you know that Bo Xiao has a skill, and he is even more divided, and his soldiers are strong and strong, and there are few rivals in the world, and it is still unknown whether it can be further in the future. But where are you? What else can you do except have a little spare money at home? If Bo Xiao falls? Are you safe...... Don't you all have a lot of shops under your name, are you considered a businessman? To know how to invest...... "People are old and fine, and they see things clearly, for a few selfish sons, Jiang Qun reminded him helplessly.

"Father's advice, the child should keep it in mind...... "Whether or not he listened to it, it can be seen that the old man was very excited, and the three sons in the house did not dare to disobey, whether they were sincere or not, they immediately saluted to show their understanding.

The words are radical, and the already low simmering atmosphere in the study adds to the gloom, and no one in the Angelica position is no longer boring to talk about, even if there is something on his mind, he just plays with the tea cup in his hand to vent.

Fortunately, soon in the thick footsteps, the embarrassment disappeared. Especially when dozens of soldiers wearing only military robes carried more than 20 large boxes of 100 catties after knocking on the door, all the embarrassment turned into doubts again.

Judging from the unicorn embroidered in front of the soldier's robe, they are all Jiang Qi's personal soldiers Qilinwei, looking at the more than 100,000 people in Jiang's army, only Qilinwei has such a special military robe.

"There are too many guests today, Qi'er has made my grandfather and uncle wait for a long time, rude, rude......" The soldier put down the heavy box, and then under the guidance of the two maids, Jiang Qi, who was slightly mature in a straight and deep clothes, appeared, but the politeness in his mouth was slightly distant.

"Bo Xiao is too polite, what is rude about the family. Zilong is not at home, everything has to be done in the presence of you, uncle, Lin'er and the child can rest......" Jiang Qi appeared, there is no need to guess, as the head of the family and an elder, Jiang Hai immediately smiled and accosted.

"Hahaha! There's no way, Qi has a younger sister, and although Guang'er is my nephew, there is no difference between him and his son in Qi's eyes, and he should be dedicated. Jiang Qi was very sleek after staying in the officialdom for a long time, and immediately helped his uncle and joked.

"My Jiang family is a big deal, Zilong is in Shangdang, his brother is in Shangjun, Qi'er, you should be dedicated to your uncle. Okay, it's not too early, Qi'er called your uncle at night, what's the important thing? There are no outsiders, just say ......" The simple greeting was completed, Jiang Qun, who was the oldest in the house, looked at the situation in the house, and then helped his son ask what was in his heart.

"Stand down, and no one will be allowed to enter without my orders!" Originally, I wanted to be tactful, but since the most respected grandfather asked so, Jiang Qi didn't hide it, and then beckoned left and right.

"Nuo ......" can be Jiang Qi's own soldiers are all clever people, and they immediately saluted and left quickly, and finally the one who left also closed the door.

There was no one left and right, Jiang Qi did not delay any longer, and when he took a seat, he took out a document in his hand: "Grandfather, do you know what it is?" ”

"To put it bluntly, all of you here are your elders, and they are also the closest people, no more than secretive......" Jiang Qun was not interested in Jiang Qi's dumb riddle, and only looked at him straight and said with a smile.

The old man's keen eye can see the world clearly, Jiang Qi knew that his grandfather knew his thoughts, and then he did not scruple and said: "It is the document that Qi inquired in Jinyang Mansion today, and what is recorded in the book is a part of the Tuntian of Taiyuan County. There are nearly 60,000 hectares of good land in Jinyang, and about 100,000 hectares of land can be planted, but there are so many lands, Qi found that even the land that can be allocated by the local original farmers is mountainous. It's strange that Qi has gone, where has the land gone......"

"What do you think is the matter? Bo Xiao is talking about the land! Yes, since the move in Jinyang, your uncle and I have hoarding, not more than 3,000 hectares, and it's not a big deal, you are a state pastor, and it's normal for the family to have a little land, isn't it? ? Originally, I thought that Jiang Qi was making a mysterious thing, but I didn't think about it, but I didn't think about it, but I didn't think about it, but Jiang Xi said disapprerovingly.

"Uncle thinks it's nothing? Three thousand hectares?? Is it rare? I'm afraid it's just Jinyang, right? Uncle Landing is in the trace, right? West River has it, right? I'm afraid that now it's the party and the county, right? And it's just you, what about the eldest uncle and second uncle? Where are the other people? Earlier, Qi didn't expect that when I learned from my mother, I actually had more than 20,000 hectares of fertile land under my name, and I was the largest landlord in the state......"
