Chapter 64 The Development of Various Aspects of the Wang Family

…

Hearing such a voice, Wang Shouye was speechless for a while.

Looking back, as expected, I saw Jiang Qingxue dressed as a mysterious guard. She was leaning on the wall of the courtyard, her eyes were wandering, and she was talking in an evil and enchanting manner.

The Chi Mei Demon Envoy has now been officially renamed "Jiang Qingxue". There were too many uncertainties in this trip to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so Wang Shouzhe was naturally worried and specially sent Jiang Qingxue, a bodyguard with magical power, to accompany him for protection.

It's just that Jiang Qingxue's identity has not been revealed yet, so she can only follow her secretly.

"Ahem~" Wang Shouye said with a solemn expression, "Fairy Jiang, please pay attention to your identity when you speak. You have now left the Demon Dynasty and become a worshiper of my Wang family. Every word and deed represents the face of my Wang family."

"Hmph~" Jiang Qingxue rolled her eyes, "You Wang family men are boring to compete with each other. They are very serious and old-fashioned. The girl is willing to be a slave, and we don't force others."

"Fairy Jiang's words are wrong." Wang Shouye said solemnly, "I, Wang Shouye, am the seventh eldest son of the generation with the word 'Shou'. I am the elder and ancestor in the eyes of countless children in the family. Every one of my actions and actions has a certain influence." It may become a role model for children to follow. Today I accept someone as a slave, and maybe one day a child will use his family background and power to secretly force others."

"The fairy said that the men in our family are old-fashioned and boring. That's because we all understand the truth. If we behave frivolously and dissolutely, it will not only affect our reputation. To put it mildly, it will ruin the family tradition and discipline. Often, it will affect our reputation. To be serious, it is destroying the foundation of the family. It is really not easy for my fourth brother to develop the family step by step to what it is today. As the younger brother, I can’t help much, so how can I drag him down? leg?"

"Okay, okay, I just mentioned it casually, but you taught me a lesson." Jiang Qingxue was speechless and felt a little depressed, "I suspect that the head of the Shouzhe family deliberately asked me to be your bodyguard. Yes, just so that you can help me reform my moral outlook."

"That makes sense." Wang Shouye thought seriously, "taking advantage of this time to get along with you, I will have a good talk about life with you... After all, Jiang Zongfeng has lived in the Demon Dynasty for too long, and some of his thinking habits are related to We are so incompatible with each other, and this is not good.”

"..."

Jiang Qingxue's heart suddenly exploded.

Ouch, my mother, I have boarded a pirate ship!

"If Jiang Chongfeng's thinking has not changed after the mission is over, I still suggest that you go to the clan school and go through it systematically." Wang Shouye continued to attack.

"Ethnology?!"

Jiang Qingxue gasped.

Do you want to be so cruel? !

Although she had never experienced it personally, she had already learned about it from various channels. It was said to be the scariest place in the Wang family. It was said to be scarier than Wang Shouzhe's small courtyard. Many children came out crying and screaming after entering.

If she was really forced to go to the clan school, would she still be okay?

When she thought of the terrible result, Jiang Qingxue suddenly became depressed and felt a lifeless emotion come over her heart.

…

Wang Shouye came to Tianjin Port this time to take a boat to the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Not to mention those private exchanges, not long after he arrived at Tianjin Port, several rare "guests" were welcomed on the Tianjin Port pier.

They were five giant iron-clad ships that were several stories high.

There are many differences in the appearance of these five iron-clad ships. One is extra slender and the other is extra wide. However, without exception, they are all black, as if they are made of dark iron, and the collision angles of the bows are also glowing. A cold light like a blade. The huge hull is like a bunker on the sea, full of indescribable heaviness and pressure, and full of intimidation.

The Canglong flag flying on the bow of the ship, the Wang clan flag, and the eye-catching golden clan emblem painted on the ship's body all reminded everyone of its identity.

This turned out to be the ocean-going ship of the Changning Wang family.

Although the border has been at war over the years, domestic development has not only not stagnated, but has entered a period of rapid development under the promulgation of a series of national policies by Emperor Zian.

Wang's research and development of steam armored warships has never relaxed.

After decades of technological innovation, Wang's steam ironclads are no longer the same as they were back then. The era of iron covered with wood has passed. Today's steam ironclads are all made of metal. Not only are they huge in size, they have also been developed into different types to meet different combat needs. Their combat effectiveness is completely different from what it was back then.

The huge ironclad ship sailed into the Tianjin Port Pier with the sound of "wuwuwu" whistle. As soon as it entered the port, it attracted many people to watch.

Naturally, Wang Shouye got the news quickly and came over to meet with Wang Guanghao, the leader of the fleet and his nephew.

After so many years of training, Wang Wanghao has already become the second-in-command of the ocean-going fleet besides Long Wuji. Although he looked much darker, he was also much more stable. Every move he made looked like a big leader, and he was full of prestige in the fleet.

This time, Wang Shouzhe paid more attention to Wang Shouye's trip to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, so he specially sent Wang Guanghao to escort Shouye northward in person. He also brought some of Wang's goods with him, hoping to see if he could compete with the Northern Zhou's. Some local aristocratic families reached cooperation and opened up a route from Daqian to the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

As a country that separated from the Immortal Dynasty earlier and founded its country, the Northern Zhou Dynasty has a much longer history than the Daqian Dynasty, and its overall national strength is also stronger. If we can establish formal trade relations with them, it will be of great benefit to both the Wang family and Da Qian.

However, the sea route from Daqian to Northern Zhou Dynasty was not easy to travel. Due to the extremely cold climate in the north, many of the sea routes to the north are covered with ice and snow all year round. Various severe weather conditions occur on the sea surface. Sometimes due to the movement of the seabed, a new undersea iceberg will suddenly appear. The natural conditions are very harsh. It is said that there are many ferocious beasts on the sea and they are very dangerous.

Before Wang developed the steam ironclad, few seagoing ships would go north at the risk of sinking.

If someone wants to go to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, they will basically go by land. They will first follow the caravan heading to the Northern Barbarians. After arriving at the Northern Barbarians, they will then form a group or find the Northern Barbarians' rogue cavalry to escort them to the ice-free port further north.

It was a supply point established by the ocean-going caravans of the Xian Dynasty. Large ocean-going fleets traveling between the Xian Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty often docked. Once there, you can take the ocean-going ships of the Immortal Dynasty to the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

When Master Yunyang and Li Ci went to the Immortal Dynasty, they boarded the Immortal Dynasty merchant ship here.

However, the whole process requires changing transportation modes several times, which is not only complicated but also often takes a long time. It can be said to be quite inconvenient.

This is also the main reason why there has been less contact between Daqian and the Northern Zhou Dynasty over the years, and there are even very few caravans going back and forth for business.

There is no way, the transportation cost is too high, there is almost no profit from one trip, and you may have to pay some money.

However, nowadays, Wang's iron-clad ship technology has become more and more mature. In recent years, special armored icebreakers have even been developed, and it is finally possible to open a route to the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Not two days after the fleet arrived at Tianjin Port, Wang Shouye's senior brother and sister, Qian Xuefu and Yuwen Nianjing, also arrived at Tianjin Port.

According to Master Alchemy, the ruins he entered back then were not too small. Although there was only one core inheritance, there were many other good things, which only required opportunity and strength to obtain.

Since he is going to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Master Danding will naturally not forget his other disciples.

Qian Xuefu is a direct descendant of the Longzuo Qian family. With his alchemy skills, his status in the Longzuo Qian family has been getting higher and higher over the years. Now he seems to have surpassed his ancestors and became The family elders who are ranked quite high in the ranking also have quite a say within the Qian family.

Naturally, there was a huge crowd of people during this trip. Qian even sent a flying chariot to see him off, which was quite a grand occasion.

Yuwen Nianjing's place was no less impressive.

As one of the earlier families to marry into the Wang family, the Yuwen family has developed quite well in recent years. The family's strength has grown rapidly. Yuwen Nianjing himself is also very ambitious. With his own hard work and talent, he has successfully become the Master of Alchemy. His personal disciple.

Now, like Qian Xuefu, she has become the ancestor of the family. When she travels, she is also picked up by flying chariot, and the clan members will accompany her, and the pomp is quite grand.

Shortly after the two arrived, Si Xinghai, another direct disciple of Master Alchemy, also arrived.

As Master Alchemy's favorite disciple at that time, although Si Xinghai was born as a casual cultivator and had no family to rely on, his talent in alchemy was outstanding, and his success rate in alchemy was second only to Shouye among all his disciples. With Master Alchemy, he is also developing very well now.

When he was in his thirties or forties, he married a girl from the lineage of Wang Shouyi, the second master of the Wang family in Changning, and started a family. After years of hard work, he is now the ancestor of hundreds of children.

Relying on his alchemy skills, he has been refining supply elixirs for the soldiers on the front line over the years. Over the years, he has also accumulated a lot of military merit. In addition, Wang's dowry of the land and his own savings through alchemy. With his family business, the small family he established has now successfully obtained the title of a seventh-grade family, completely breaking away from the ranks of casual cultivators.

If it continues to develop like this, the Changning Si family he created will still have huge development potential in the future.

However, after all, he started late and his family background is still shallow, so he cannot afford to buy his own flying chariot. This time, he took the Wang family's flight attendant, accompanied by several generals and disciples, and occupied the entire carriage.

Compared with then, he now has lost his coldness and sharpness, and looks much more low-key and peaceful. Even his appearance is much richer, and he seems to have a sense of peace nourished by life.

If the monks who were cultivating with him in the past saw him, they would not dare to recognize him.

A few days after Si Xinghai arrived, Master Danding also arrived at Tianjin Port.

They also came in Wang's flight attendant, and traveling with him was his great disciple Gu Hanyu.

As the earliest disciple accepted by Master Alchemy Cauldron, Gu Hanyu was also a casual cultivator. She has not been married for so many years and has always served Master Alchemy. Now her cultivation has reached the late stage of the Heavenly Realm and is not far away from the Purple Mansion Realm.

Years have passed, and Gu Hanyu, who was the master of both elixirs and doctors, is still in his prime, but the master of alchemy and alchemy, who was an immortal and an extraordinary person, has become much older. Not only does his figure look rickety and thin, There are also many age spots on my face and body.

Anyone who looks at it can see that his physical condition has begun to decline and he is inevitably entering the twilight years of his life.

The life span of a monk in the Purple Mansion Realm is eight hundred years, which seems to be a long time, but no matter how long it is, there is still a limit. When longevity comes, no matter how powerful and powerful you may have been, you will inevitably grow old and die, and no one can escape it.

It's just that the higher the cultivation level, the later aging will come.

Gu/span> Master Danding will tell you about the opportunity and lead his disciples to go north. Ultimately, it is because his life is about to end. If he doesn't go, he may never have another chance.

Master Alchemy arrived, and everyone who was going to the Northern Zhou Dynasty was here.

Wang's steam ironclad ship did not delay at the port for long. After replenishing the supplies on board, it set off again and headed north.

The day the steam ironclad set sail,

A figure appeared among the crowd at the pier.

The figure was wearing a standard weapon refining robe issued by Wang's Weapon Refining Company, and a senior weapon refining master badge issued by the [Special Professional Union] on his chest. It was Dongfang Yuxi who had finally figured it out.

He stood in the crowd and looked at the huge armored ships from a distance. Until the end, he could not make up his mind to walk over. However, when the armored ships left the port, he raised his hand and saluted far away in the direction of the armored ships, which was extremely solemn. .

He knew that although he had now joined Wang's Weapon Refining Company and his family had come out of the predicament and would get better and better in the future, the gap between him and Wang Shouye would still widen from now on. Big, like cloud mud.

…

Time passes. Unconsciously, several months had passed since Wang Shouye and others set out for the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

October.

Winter wheat has already been planted.

The space between heaven and earth has been covered with a layer of scorched yellow color of early winter.

But for Changningwei, every October, in addition to the autumn harvest, there is another big thing to happen, and that is the "college entrance examination".

After 170 years of exploration and development, Changningwei’s education system has gradually improved and matured.

Children usually start at the age of six. After two years of preschool education, they will enter the huge primary education college system. After another three years of study and assessment, they can enter the secondary education college system.

After five years of studying in a secondary education college, you can take the higher education examination.

In today's situation where primary and secondary education are almost universally accessible to the younger generation, higher education is a huge watershed and a testing stone for the "ten-year cold window".

There is a dozens-story building in the Wang Clan Academy called "Uzuo Building", which is named after the second-generation eldest son of the Wang family in Changning [Wang Yuzuo].

Ancestor Usa had good qualifications when he was young, but he failed in his attempt to attack the Lingtai realm in his early years, causing damage to the Lingtai and leaving him without hope for the rest of his life.

In today's era, Wang Shouzhe would definitely have a way to re-warm and nourish the spiritual platform of ancestor Uzuo, but for the Wang family at that time, this was an unsolvable problem.

Therefore, Patriarch Usa devoted himself wholeheartedly to the construction of family genealogy, and it was precisely because of his efforts that he laid a solid foundation for family genealogy. Therefore, when Wang Clanology gradually grew and required a large educational development and management organization, it was named after the ancestor Usa.

By the way, Patriarch Uzuo is the biological father of Patriarch Longyan.

Today, Usalou is already the absolute core of the entire Changning Health education community.

The densely populated "villages and small towns" within the jurisdiction, as well as the expanding secondary education colleges in major towns, as well as the famous higher education colleges, were all planned in the "Usa Building" and subsequently constructed. , developed from.

In layman's terms, Usa Tower is the Ministry of Education in Wang's jurisdiction.

Wang has always spared no effort in investing in the field of education.

now.

Wang Shouzhe is sitting in his office on the top floor of Usa Building, listening to the current situation of education and candidates. Of course, he did not sit in the main seat, but together with Holy Lord Jiang guarded the serious-looking Emperor Longchang.

The three of them bowed their heads, and a woman who looked about twenty-five or sixty-years-old, with a handsome appearance and a serious look was reporting to the three of them.

"Your Majesty, Holy Master Jiang, father. The number of candidates taking the 'College Entrance Examination' in our Chang Ning Guard this time has reached 83,519, of which 20,310 are from the surrounding Acropolis and Borrowed students from the entire Longzuo County."

"Among the loan students, South Liuwei has the largest number, and the number decreases as you go out. There are hundreds of loan students in other counties. However, there are 19,513 students in Guilong City, and most of them are There are people from major aristocratic families, and even some members of the royal family, and it is said that His Majesty personally arranged for them to come here."

Wang Shouzhe showed a smile and said: "It seems that His Majesty has lived in our Wang family for a long time and highly approves of our Wang family's education."

"Is that your credit?" Emperor Longchang rolled his eyes and glared at Wang Shouzhe, "That's all the result of Li Jue's hard work in developing education over the years."

It was obvious that although several months had passed, his resentment towards being expelled from Liuxian Valley by Wang Shouzhe and being banned from playing mahjong was far from gone.

"Your Majesty, look at what you said." Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "Lijue is my biological daughter. Her success now is also due to the education I gave her back then."

"Huh." Emperor Longchang rolled his eyes and almost rolled his eyes to the sky.

If he hadn't just returned from a high-quality spiritual pulse extraction, he would have really wanted to stay away from this shameless boy.

"But when you think about it, Shouzhe, your children are quite good." Jiang Zhencang said fair, "The eldest daughter Liyao has become the saint of Lingyun Holy Land, and will surely lead the Holy Land to a higher level in the future. The eldest son Zong An We have vigorously constructed the Dala Desert and turned the desert into an oasis and granary, which is a great achievement."

"The second son Wang Zongrui traveled far across the ocean to expand horizons and trade for me. The second queen Liyue also likes scientific research. I heard that she is now the director of the Wang Research Institute."

Two sons and three daughters, each developed in different fields and made their own achievements and careers.

"The Holy Lord is ridiculous." Wang Shouzhe said humbly, "The children only achieved some achievements in the prosperous age."

After a pause, he continued: "Jue'er, fraud has occurred in every exam. Although we have strictly investigated and punished each time, it has still been banned repeatedly. How are the preparations for the 'college entrance examination venue' this time?"

"Father, this time we adopted a centralized examination system for the college entrance examination. We specially spent a huge amount of money to build a giant venue and examination room, which can accommodate up to 130,000 candidates for examination at the same time. And at the scene, the senior weapon spirit 'Da Xue'er' As the highest supervisor, I have asked His Majesty and Holy Master Jiang to cover the examination room with their spiritual thoughts. I believe that fraud can be eliminated this time."

"The measures are okay. However, driven by interests, fraud methods will always emerge in endlessly." Wang Shouzhe said thoughtfully, "You must not be careless."

"Yes, father, our Ministry of Education will try to find ways to prevent fraud." Wang Lijue took out an admission ticket and said, "Father, this is your admission ticket."

"Oh, Shouzhe is also interested in giving it a try?" Jiang Zhencang asked curiously.

"I have learned a lot from tutoring Xian'er recently, and I have gained a lot of confidence after sorting out my knowledge system. I also heard that the college entrance examination is seriously under-written, so I just want to try it." Wang Shouzhe said, "The Holy Master is also interested?"

"I'm not interested!" Jiang Zhencang's face turned cold and he shook his head hurriedly, "I'm too old to take it anymore. I can't take it anymore." He also went to attend Wang's class out of curiosity, but... he didn't mention it.

"In that case, the college entrance examination will be held as scheduled." Wang Shouzhe was also a little eager to try.

A few days later.

The extremely large superstar stadium-style examination venue accommodates more than 80,000 candidates taking exams at the same time.

to this end.

Wang also specially built a large and modern restaurant-style building complex for temporary residence of candidates and their accompanying parents (limited to two people), for a total of one month before and after the exam.

At this time, there were many people in the examination venue, and examinations were being conducted one after another under effective supervision.

The entire examination period lasts for three days.

Today's session is already the last one.

Outside the examination room, there were even more crowded parents who were eagerly looking forward to it. For many families, this is an opportunity to change their lives. Once you can get admitted to Wang's Higher Ethnology School, you will have unlimited possibilities in the future.

Of course, Wang's advanced family studies are not so easy to pass.

But even if you fail the exam, there is still a second option and a third option. Even if you fail to get into a college, you can just pass the exam and graduate normally, you can enter various vocational and technical colleges and find a very good skill and job.

"Queen Jingjing, do you think Mr. Zong Kun can graduate this time?"

Among the crowd outside the examination room, two women with similar looks and dressed as maids said curiously.

Beside the two of them, the fiery Long Jingjing crossed her hands and looked into the examination room, with a confident expression on her face: "I believe that brother Zong Kun will graduate successfully, and then he will soon graduate from advanced ethnography and get married to me. .”

Those two women were transformed into dragon whales in the supernatural power realm, and they were both brought by Long Jingjing to serve Zong Kun.

This woman who transformed into a dragon whale has an obvious feature, that is, her figure is relatively plump and plump, and she looks very blessed.

…
