Chapter 1212 Dragon Rises
On that day, Wang Jiran arranged for his confidants to sell the property. As for himself, he left Shi County under the protection of a group of guards at night.
In half a day, he had barely adjusted his mentality. Although he was annoyed by the profit-seeking businessmen, he thought that this matter was just a failed investment.
In business, how can there be only victory and no defeat? !
Besides, a blessing in disguise.
Today's Huang Tianjun is yesterday's flower. Although it once swept the world and almost overthrew the Da Cang orthodoxy.
But that was only the glory of the past.
Even if Zhao Chengli made great contributions, what would it matter? !
Once Huang Tianshi failed, the greater the contribution, the faster he would die.
The small soldiers might be recruited, but the core figures would definitely not escape the court's reckoning.
Even if those tyrants and overlords cherished talents, as long as those people did not rebel, they would definitely not dare to recruit the core figures of Huang Tiandao.
After figuring this out, Wang Jiran was no longer so regretful.
In fact, all of the above was what he had anticipated long ago.
If the Huang Tian army had not been weakened, even if Zhao Cheng really died in the battle, he would have let his daughter become a widow and would never have broken off the engagement.
The real reason for his breaking off the engagement was that he saw that the Huang Tian army was no longer good, which led to this series of events.
And he left Shi County overnight, not because he was Huang Tian Daoist. If Huang Tian Daoist wanted to punish him, he would have been confiscated and exterminated by Huang Tianqi. A small shrimp like him was not taken seriously by Huang Tian Daoist.
He did this because he was worried that someone in the Huang Tian army wanted to use him to gain merit.
If he didn't run away now, it would be difficult to run away when some people reacted.
The ox cart moved forward slowly, and Wang Jiran lifted the curtain of the car and looked in the direction of Shi County, his eyes flickering.
His loss could not be small in this hasty escape, but in this era, as long as he can survive, there will always be a time to make a comeback.
After all, compared to a businessman like him, ordinary people don't even know how to read, and experience and knowledge are his greatest assets.
However, although he understands the truth, he can't help but feel angry when he thinks that he is like a dog that has lost its home.
"Watch him build a high building, watch him entertain guests, and watch his building collapse..."
Wang Jiran murmured.
Now, what he is most grateful for is that more than ten years ago, when he saw that the world was in chaos, he began to spend a lot of money to select children with clean backgrounds, strong muscles and bones, and simple hearts from slaves and hired households, and trained them from an early age to practice martial arts and serve as guards.
With the wealth of the Wang family, there are only more than 30 such guards. After all, the guards are not only completely off-duty, but also have to eat meat, otherwise it is impossible to increase their strength.
Because of this, he even reduced the food and clothing expenses of his family, which caused a lot of opposition at the beginning.
Fortunately, he has absolute authority at home. Although there are many voices of opposition, they cannot change his mind.
Putting aside the first six or seven years, when the child grows up and reaches the age of fourteen or fifteen, he is already a useful person.
And the world began to get chaotic during that period.
In recent years, because of this group of people, his Wang family has been spared a lot of troubles.
As for this moment, Wang Jiran has felt the importance of power even more deeply.
A faint idea gradually emerged in his mind.
Business, even if you are rich enough to rival a country, is ultimately not as good as real power.
Now, with the imperial edict to fight against the enemy, local tyrants can recruit soldiers and horses by themselves. As long as they kill the enemy, they can become officials.
He has this group of trustworthy teams, thirty-seven guards, if he goes to recruit soldiers, he can use them as squad leaders. As long as he is willing to spend money, he can immediately have nearly two hundred useful people...
After a few years, when the Huangtian Army is even weaker, and the heroes eat meat, he may not be unable to get some soup.
Even snowballing with this.
Throughout the ages, how many emperors, when they started out, had only three or five brothers, but later they took advantage of the wind and clouds and turned directly into dragons.
Thinking of this, Wang Jiran's originally low mood actually began to rise.
If there were a Taoist nearby at this moment, he would definitely find that Wang Jiran actually had a wisp of dragon energy that suddenly burst out.
In this era, among the scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants were the lowest class. If a merchant actually had dragon energy, if this kind of thing was told out, I'm afraid few people would believe it.
But the reality is that dragon energy is scattered everywhere, not determined by fate. Whether it is a noble or an ant, there is a chance to turn into a dragon, the possibility of becoming a dragon.
Wang Jiran is one of them, but when he was young, the orthodoxy of Da Cang was still there, so his life was suppressed. If Da Cang had not been in chaos, he was afraid that until his death, this wisp of dragon energy would not be activated, but would be exhausted by the powerful order.
Looking back at history, we can see that many times, it is not the heroes who create the times, but the times that create the heroes first, and then the heroes in turn promote the times.
As for the hidden dragon, since the world was in chaos, Wang Jiran had the courage and spent a huge amount of money to cultivate his confidants who were good at fighting, which shows that he was extraordinary.
However, his thinking has always been fixed, so it is difficult for the dragon spirit to show.
On the ox cart, Wang Mingwei looked at her father. There was an oil lamp in the cart, and the light was very dim. In fact, until this moment, she was not very clear about what happened.
But she felt that since leaving Shi County, her father seemed to have suddenly come alive, with a sense of freshness on him. This feeling had not appeared in her memory for nearly ten years.
She only remembered that when she was very young, her father had a little bit of this feeling.
But gradually, gradually, the other party's temperament became more and more old-fashioned and dull.
…
"Wang Jiran, the thief, is probably still hiding in Shi County at this time. Unfortunately, Shi County is still the territory of Huang Tiandao. The court has no power there. Otherwise, just arrest this old man's family and don't worry about him not being obedient."
In the study, Liu Guang was recalling the information of those famous ministers and generals in the future, but he suddenly thought of Wang Jiran.
What is coming is undoubtedly a magnificent era with bright stars.
But the reality is that in his previous life, as a held emperor, he had no intelligence system of his own. Many things were just hearsay, and he could only know a few widely circulated things.
For example, Wang Jiran is already 40 years old this year, but he is still in good health 20 years later. Some Taoists even said that he could live to at least 90 years old.
In this era, ordinary people died in their 40s. Even if they were princes and nobles, living to 50 years old was considered longevity. 90 was simply a centenarian.
Of course, what made Liu Guangzheng remember the other party was not his life span, but that he had suffered a lot at his hands.
In his previous life, Wang Jiran had surrendered to Cao Zheng.
