Chapter 83 The Increasingly Prosperous Wang Family
…
It seems that Wei Wenxun has begun to understand the true meaning of the rules of the world under Wang's many years of "education".
A powerful overlord like the Wang family is no longer something that any city guard can manipulate or even confront at will. Once the Wang family becomes more serious, Wei Wenxun, the city guard, may not even be able to leave the city guard's house under his orders.
The reason is also very simple. No one in the local eighth or ninth grade, or even the unqualified Xuanwu family, is a fool. The city guard has to be replaced every twenty or thirty years, but the Wang family of Changning has been here for generations.
What's more, the Changning Wang family is different from other powerful families in various cities and provinces. The Changning Wang family has grown by earning profits from external parties. Instead of sucking the blood of local families, it has brought local families together to earn and develop.
Today's Changning Wei, as long as the ninth-grade family can stand on the same line as the Wang family, there is no one who is still living in poverty. Even many salty ninth-grade families are already accumulating resources and strength and ambitiously planning how to advance to eighth grade.
Chang Ningwei's original eighth-grade aristocratic families are also attacking the seventh-grade aristocratic families, and some have even succeeded.
For example, the ancestor Ruhong of the Chen family in Donggang reached the realm of heavenly beings more than ten years ago. With this, the Chen family of Donggang also changed their lintel and became a seventh-grade family, becoming the undisputed overlord of Donggang.
Liu Xuanfu of the Shanyin Liu Clan has also successfully entered the Heavenly Realm.
However, she was born as a core disciple of the Academy. After reaching the Heavenly Realm, she would be promoted to the Academy Elder. Strictly speaking, she could not become a member of the Shanyin Liu clan for promotion. It's okay to upgrade from the seventh to sixth grade to make up the numbers, but it's not appropriate to change the Liu family's lintel as the only one in the heavenly realm.
Therefore, although the Shanyin Liu family currently has more than a dozen Lingtai realm monks, they are still considered to be in the eighth rank. They are just a very powerful family among the eighth rank, and are usually called strong eighth ranks. The overall strength is countless times stronger than the ordinary eighth-grade.
The first ancestor of the Liu family, Liu Qingbai, is the grandson of the ancestor Zhou Xuan. He originally had extraordinary qualifications, and he had been concentrating on seclusion to attack the realm of heaven and human beings. In the past twenty years, thanks to the growing strength of the Liu family, the Liu family has begun to provide resources to ancestor Qingbai regardless of cost.
Today's ancestor Qingbai is only over 140 years old, and he has already reached the peak of the Lingtai realm. If everything goes well, the Liu family will become a true seventh-grade family in a few years.
The Gongsun family in Shanyang is also developing very well, but their luck is not as good as that of the Liu family. Gongsun Qi, the first ancestor of the Gongsun clan, is now one hundred and sixty years old, but he is still only in the middle stage of the Lingtai realm and has not made much progress in decades.
There was no way, when the Gongsun family made a fortune with the Wang family, Ancestor Qi was already too old and missed the best opportunity for development.
Now the hope of attacking the Gongsun clan and entering the heaven-human realm is placed on Ancestor Annihilation. With the full support of the family, Ancestor Jie is now only a hundred years old and already at the peak of the fifth level of the Lingtai Realm. With the financial resources of the Gongsun family, Ancestor Jie has great hope of achieving the Heavenly Realm.
Another family that suddenly emerged was Wang Shouzhe's maternal family, the Yingxiu Lu family. The Mingsheng ancestor of the Lu family has extremely slim hope of achieving the realm of heaven and human beings in this life. However, Lu Xiaoxiao, the formation master of the Lu family, became a genius "unknowingly".
Lu Xiaoxiao, who is only in his forties now, has also reached the peak of the fifth level. In the future, he will most likely become a heavenly being before Ancestor Jie, allowing Yingxiu Lu to become the seventh level first.
Moreover, as Lu Xiaoxiao is the only formation master in the in-laws alliance, his role is not small, and his status is very special and stable.
In addition, the heavenly being Lei clan, the heavenly being Xu clan...
Therefore, even if the Changning Wang family is removed. The combined strength of the entire in-law alliance is much stronger than that of an ordinary sixth-grade family. The influence of the City Guards was reduced again and again in Changning Guards.
Let’s not mention the gossip for now.
The current city guard, Wei Wenxun, gave Wang Shoulian a grand inauguration ceremony, and then left on the grounds that he would not disturb the work of the new guard.
at dusk.
In the side hall of the Xin'an Town Guards House.
Wang Shouzhe and Wang Shoulian, who were dressed in military official uniforms, sat across from each other.
There were some small wines and side dishes on the table, all of which were cooked by Wang Shoulian's daughter-in-law, Zhou Qingning. Although her cooking skills are not exquisite, the few side dishes are prepared in a decent way.
"Fourth uncle, you and Shou Lian drink slowly while I go over to supervise Tai'er's homework." After a bow, Zhou Qing quietly retreated, giving the two brothers some private space.
After Zhou Qingning left, Wang Shoulian raised his glass and said, "Fourth brother, I have relied on you all these years to make the Wang family what it is today. I'd like to toast you."
At this time, Wang Shoulian was no longer the miserable young man who was chased by his sister Wang Luoqiu all day long.
Years of military service have transformed him into a mature man. Today, he has a tall and majestic figure, a beard, and a deep and majestic look in his eyes.
It's no wonder that Wang Shoulian is already forty-seven years old. Although the bloodline is not at the level of genius, with the continuous support of the family, it has reached the first level of middle grade, and the cultivation level has also reached the peak of the third level of Lingtai realm. It won't be long before we enter the mid-term.
I dare not say that the Zifu Realm will be far away in the future, but one cannot escape from the Heavenly Realm.
"How can this be the result of me alone?" Wang Shouzhe smiled and clinked glasses with him and said, "It is not the result of the concerted efforts of our family, old and young, from generation to generation. Over the years, Sixth Brother, you have also worked hard. Because of the clan rules, You must be separated from Qing Ning and the children, and spend a long time alone in the military."
The family has family rules, and the clan has clan laws.
Zhou Qingning, the daughter-in-law of the sixth Wang Shoulian, although she came from a military family, since she chose to marry Wang Shoulian, she naturally had to abide by the Wang family rules.
Therefore, when Zhou Qingning became pregnant with her first child, Wang Lixuan, she resigned from the army and returned to the Wang family's main house to raise and give birth. Over the years, he has been staying at the Wang family's main residence and raising his children. When a tribesman marries a wife, it means marrying into the entire family. The children you give birth to are your own children and the children of the entire family.
Underage children must live in the main house, attend clan schools, grow up with clansmen of the same age, and receive a complete Wang clan education.
This kind of family rule cannot be violated by anyone.
Otherwise, like Shoulian, the couple lived together in the military camp, and the children also grew up in the military camp... Then the children like Li Xuan, Zong Ping, and Zong Tai would feel alienated from the entire family.
Just visiting during the holidays, what is the difference between this and relatives?
Therefore, the concept of family in this world is different from the concept of family on earth. In the eyes of all clan members, everyone must be more important than the small family. The closeness and recognition of each other's identities among clan members are not comparable to the affection between relatives on earth.
Wang Shoulian grew up in this atmosphere, so he naturally agrees with this concept. Immediately, he shook his head and said: "What's so hard about this? Didn't my father come here the same way? Besides, I don't work in a distant place and can go back and visit from time to time. To say it's hard, the third brother and the seventh brother They are all in the county, so it is harder."
The two brothers chatted while drinking. The two brothers had not had this opportunity to talk alone for a long time.
"Fourth brother~ This time I came to Xin'an Town to serve as the garrison. Although things happened unexpectedly." Wang Shoulian said slightly, "But my father and I have already discussed it and brought over a group of military henchmen we have cultivated and accumulated over the years. There are about a hundred people, all of whom are young soldiers with excellent character and potential. They can not only maintain the security order of Xin'an Town, but also assist the Wang family in their subsequent exploration of new territories."
"Since they are Third Uncle and your confidant, our Wang family cannot treat them badly." Wang Shouzhe said after a while, "The family will give you and Third Uncle an additional 100,000 gold resources every year to make up for the lack of 'military expenses'."
"Fourth brother, this is too much." Wang Shoulian said hurriedly, "The family used to support us every year. Another hundred thousand is too much. The family has a lot of money to spend."
The Wang Ding clan and Wang Shoulian are both representatives of the extension of the Wang family's power in the military. Therefore, Wang will secretly fund them every year, giving them more opportunities to win over colleagues, cultivate confidants, and gradually strengthen themselves.
"It doesn't matter, Xin'an Town has entered a stage of rapid development. Farm after farm has sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, and the total annual income is the same every year." Wang Shouzhe said with a solemn expression, "However, since the battle between the emperor and his son has begun , our country will inevitably experience turmoil and changes in the future. Every time we have more power in our hands, we will be more calm."
"In addition to cultivating your own power, this money can also be used to expand your contacts, increase the depth of the military's network, and also increase the breadth of my Wang family's touch."
Speaking of this matter, Wang Shouzhe felt secretly unhappy. How come there is a dispute between emperor and son... If he is given hundreds of years to develop slowly, the Wang family will be a behemoth by then. When the battle between emperor and son occurs again, he will not be so passive.
However, now that the wave of the times has arrived. Wang Shouzhe is by no means a blaming person. He will only pay more attention to the layout and development, and try his best to prevent the Wang family from being "conveniently beaten to death" by the waves of the times.
"Fourth brother, I understand." Wang Shoulian said with a serious expression, "Over the years, my father and I have also developed a lot of relationships. We will be more attentive to developing relationships in the future. If there is any trouble, we can be alert in advance."
"Don't cut off Wei Wenxun's road." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "You and Sanbo are his old subordinates. This friendship may one day come into play."
"In addition, you should also pay attention to the resource issues in the military, especially the Marrow Cleansing Pill, the Infinite Treasure Pill, or the refining materials for related pills. These are the resources our family urgently needs."
For Wang Shouzhe, there is endless demand for treasures such as the Marrow Cleansing Pill and the Wuji Treasure Pill that can improve bloodline qualifications. He can't spend huge resources on his own to achieve the bloodline of a great genius.
The brothers and sisters of the rest of the tribe don’t care whether they live or die, right?
Within the scope of ability, the more talented bloodlines the family has, the better. Not only will they be strong, but it will also affect the strength of the Wang family's future descendants.
Nowadays, the overall bloodline of the Wang family has improved a lot, and the bloodline of the newly born young children is obviously much stronger in terms of innate bloodline. It exceeded the average line of Wang Shouzhe, Wang Shounuo, etc.
"Yes, fourth brother." Wang Shoulian followed the good advice.
In the eyes of the Wang clan, the fourth brother Wang Shouzhe seems to be a god-like figure who will support any decision unconditionally.
Unconsciously, more than an hour passed.
Zhou Qingning knocked on the door and came in. She bowed and said, "Fourth uncle, husband. Xuan'er and Heping'er, they are on a mission nearby. After hearing the news, they came here to visit my husband."
"It just so happens that I have finished talking about Shou Lian's affairs. Brothers and sisters, please don't do it yourself. Simply ask the cook to open another table. I haven't seen a few children for some time, so I just want to talk to them. , take the exam." Wang Shouzhe suddenly became energetic.
In the past two years, he has been at the last moment of sprinting to the Heavenly Realm, but he has indeed neglected to supervise his children. Every child in the family is the future of the Wang family. As the head of the family, Wang Shouzhe naturally has the responsibility to urge them to make progress.
"Fourth brother... still cares about the children as always." The corner of Wang Shoulian's bearded mouth twitched slightly, and an unforgettable shadow flashed in his eyes. Among them were the test of the fourth brother and the "spurring" from his sister Wang Luoqiu. ".
Zhou Qingning said "hey", covered her mouth and went to prepare the new table with a smile. The fourth uncle's exams are the "motivation" for the children's growth. The children are not necessarily afraid of her as a loving mother, nor are they necessarily afraid of their strict father who is not at home for a long time. , but they will definitely be afraid of their patriarch, Fourth Uncle.
soon.
There were three young men and women standing in the side hall. They all stood with their hands tied, their heads drooped and they didn't dare to take a breath. Especially Wang Lixuan and Wang Zongping, they were performing tasks nearby and came to visit their father.
But I never thought that I would bump into my fourth uncle. I really didn't calculate the good or bad luck when I went out.
As for the youngest Wang Zongtai, his face was pale, and his eyes were filled with the innocence of being implicated by his elder brothers and sisters.
"boom!"
Wang Shoulian knocked on the table and said angrily, "What expressions do you have on each of you? Has your mother spoiled you rotten?"
"Don't be ruthless when it comes to integrity, and don't be nervous, you two." Wang Shouzhe smiled and said, "Lixuan, you are already a big girl, and you are usually sensible and hard-working. Unlike the two boys, you sit down first. "
"Thank you, Fourth Uncle." Wang Lixuan, who was already in her twenties, had grown into a beautiful woman. She smiled at Wang Shouzhe obediently, then sat aside and said goodbye to her two younger brothers. Clear boundaries.
Wang Zongtai, who was only ten years old, was stunned by his sister's shamelessness. In the past, my sister had always regarded him as her treasure. Why did he immediately rebel as soon as he was in front of his fourth uncle?
On the contrary, Wang Zongping understood this situation very well. Not to mention that his sister had betrayed him. In front of his fourth uncle, if he, the ninth young master, had this opportunity, he would have rebelled as well.
"Zong Ping, are you sixteen this year?" Wang Shouzhe looked at Lao Jiu, who was born with the name "Zong" in his eyes, with satisfaction. This child naturally had Wang's usual good appearance, with sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes.
Moreover, he walked with steady steps and the profound energy in his body was thick and solid.
With Wang Shouzhe's cultivation level in the Human Realm, it can be seen at a glance that he has broken through to the seventh level of the Qi Refining Realm, which shows that he pays great attention to basic skills.
The family is becoming more and more prosperous. The male members of the Zong generation have reached the fifteenth place, and the Li generation has also reached the thirteenth level. At the same time, the Shi generation and the Ying generation have also reached the seventh rank.
It is conceivable that in the future, the Zongzi generation will definitely exceed the number of the Shouzi generation, and the Housezi generation will also exceed the Zongzi generation. Such prosperity from one generation to the next is the foundation for the real rise of the Wang family in the future.
"Zong Ping is good. His basic skills are very solid. Recently, he has been practicing with his elders or brothers in the family." Wang Shouzhe praised.
Wang Zongping breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said, "Fourth uncle, Zongping will definitely work hard."
Then, Wang Shouzhe looked at Wang Zongtai. Well, his foundation was not bad, and he was already at the high level of Qi Refining Realm. Just take the essay test for school...
Wang Zongtai, who was only ten years old, was agitated by the sight. He quickly and cleverly changed the subject and said, "Fourth uncle, I heard from my eldest brother that he has a girl he likes. She is a very beautiful sister who is a casual cultivator."
What?
Wang Zongping's face turned dark instantly. In order not to be admitted to the liberal arts exam, this little brat sold him out instantly? Damn it, do you still miss the love of brothers?
Wang Shouzhe hasn't spoken yet.
Wang Shoulian on the side roared angrily: "You traitor, you are so brave!" He has been serving in the patrol camp and has caught countless rogue cult criminals in his life. In his eyes, most rogue cultivators are Lawless guy.
