protect our patriarch

Chapter 344 My Great-Grandpa Is Wang Shouzhe

……

Changningwei Xin'an Town.

It has been nearly 50 years since the land reclamation.

Today's Xin'an Town has entered a mature stage of development, with large and small farms all over Xin'an Town.

In addition to the family farms, there are also villages built by mountains and rivers.The villagers who live there are all civilians who followed the Wang family to open up wasteland in the early days.

Those civilians all came from poor civilian families in Changningwei or a few nearby Weiwei, or some tenant farmers whose contracts were terminated.Although it is dangerous to relocate and open up wasteland, once you successfully gain a foothold, you will be able to have a lot of self-cultivated land and the total household income can be qualitatively leapfrogged.

The Changning Wang family opened up wasteland in Xin'an Town with the development order, which did not mean that all the land in Xin'an Town was enclosed and became Wang's private farm.

The reason why the Dagan country encourages land reclamation is that it will even give some financial support.The main purpose is to open up the country and increase the breeding habitat of the entire human race.Therefore, the families involved in land reclamation have the right to give priority to building farms according to the amount of investment, but they must also guide ordinary civilians who are willing to land reclamation to thrive here.

In addition, the government will divide the land under the jurisdiction of the family according to the agreement between the family, and all the civilians in the area under the jurisdiction belong to the people under the jurisdiction of the family.The aristocratic family is responsible for keeping the land and the people safe, and at the same time, it also has to bear the responsibility of collecting taxes and other responsibilities.

In return, [-]% of the [-]% tax in the area under the aristocratic family's jurisdiction belongs to the local aristocratic family.

It can be seen from this that the land and civilians attached to the family are called jurisdictions, not private territories.Only those farms that have been registered and approved by the government can be regarded as the legal private property of the family.

It's just that the Changning Wang family is too powerful, and the influence of the local government has been reduced to a minimum.As long as it does not violate the laws of the country, in most cases, they are at the mercy of the Wang family.

Fortunately, the Changning Wang family is not the kind of bully-type family that beats down the common people. On the contrary, it takes good care of the common people under its command, thinking about them whenever there is any opportunity to make a fortune.

Dongbang Village, Xin'an Town.

This place is located in the northwest of the town. Due to the many riversides and rocky hills, the fertile land that can be cultivated here is relatively small and messy, which does not conform to the production mode of Wang's large-scale farm.

Therefore, a group of civilians settled here and started pioneering under the guidance of the Wang family.Over the past few decades, Dongbang Village has a multiplied and settled population of about 300 people, of which a small amount of good land is used to cultivate Wang's grain seeds, and most of the inferior land has been transformed into a mulberry fish pond model.

The fish farmed in fish ponds will be purchased by Wang's fish stalls.And the variety of mulberry trees is also a high-quality variety provided by Wang's. The mulberry silkworms raised have a high survival rate and the quality of the cocoons is outstanding.

And there is no need to worry about the sales of raw cocoons, the joint silk reeling factory of the in-law alliance will purchase them in a unified manner.

Therefore, the villagers in Dongbang Village have a good income, and they are willing to send their children to the [Village School] to receive enlightenment education when they live and work in peace and contentment.

The village school is an enlightenment school jointly managed by the Wang family and the government. [Wang Clan Studies] trains "Mr.", and takes turns teaching in each village to provide basic education to school-age children. Only some basic fees are charged, and the rest of the money is Wang and government subsidies.

Dongbang Village School, located at the entrance of the village, was built with high-quality bricks and cement.Not too pretty, but very solid.

At this time, about [-] or [-] schoolchildren were listening carefully to the class in the village school.

outside the classroom.

A fat man, about five or sixty years old, was nodding and bowing his head and said, "Young Master Seven, the village school in our Dongbang Village has always been the best among the village schools in Xin'an Town. Every year there will be three or four Excellent students, admitted to the Wang Clan Studies, and every year, some people are selected as our Wang Clan's servant team."

Not everyone can be a servant of the Wang family today.

If you want to enter the Wang family's family servant system, you have to have relatively good grades in the entire Wang family study.Their future development path can also start from maids, servants and other jobs, and then gradually move to managerial positions of stewardship, or leadership positions of senior stewardship.

In addition to the domestic servant system, the Wang family also has a servant system and a family general system.The latter two have slightly lower grade requirements, but have higher requirements for blood qualifications.In addition, there are also Wang's various types of work systems, which represent different development directions.

Known as the "Seven Young Masters", it was a young boy with an immature complexion.He was wearing a brocade robe made of cloud-patterned spiritual cotton, with a jade belt around his waist, sword shoes on his feet and spiritual jade hanging from his waist. He looked like a typical young man of a wealthy family.

The identity of this little son is not simple, he is the great-grandson of the current eldest son of the Wang family in Changning——Wang Anye, who is the seventh eldest in Wang's An family's generation, so he is called the seventh young master.

Not only that, his mother's family background is also extraordinary, his mother Qian Yurou is the eldest granddaughter of the current patriarch of the Qian clan in Longzuo.With the identities of the two main lineages of the Wang family and the Qian family, one can imagine how high the status of Wang Anye is?

Therefore, in addition to the two clever servants behind him, there are also two guards from the Lingtai Jing family who will accompany him in the open.

And in the dark, there was another Celestial Jing family elder from the Qian family who was taking care of him for twelve hours.It can be seen that even the Qian family attaches great importance to this foreign bloodline.

This kind of guard treatment is unique to the entire Wang family.

I saw Wang Anye with his hands behind his back, and asked lazily: "I heard that Liu Lizheng recently took in a concubine? Congratulations."

Although Wang Anye was only nine years old, he often talked to his great-grandfather Wang Shouzhe, and he had been studying the Wang clan for three years. Naturally, he was different from ordinary children, and when he spoke, he looked quite mature.

"This..." Liu Lizheng was sweating profusely. He was still wondering why the grandson of the dignified Wang family came to inspect the village school in the small village.

Facing such coercion, Liu Lizheng bowed down on his knees with a puff: "Seventh young master, I, I was deceived by lard. I shouldn't use force to take Miss Zhao as my concubine... use despicable ones..."

"Okay, okay." Wang Anye waved his hand a little impatiently, "You don't have to tell me this, I'm only nine years old, and I don't understand those dirty things. If it wasn't for Senior Sister Zhao from the ethnology to complain to me, My son... since you admit it... Wang Xing."

"The villain is here." The clever boy Wang Xing came out and stared at Liu Lizheng viciously, "Master, what should we do with this thief?"

"Well, my grandpa said that even garbage has some uses. I also heard from my grandpa that when Qingluowei opened up wasteland, there was a sea area called Storm Bay that was quite difficult to deal with." Wang Anye pondered for a while, "Then buy it for him. A ticket for a flying chariot, send it to Storm Bay to make use of the remaining heat."

"Young master's name." Wang Xing grabbed Liu Lizheng.

"Forgive me, young master, please forgive me, I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore." Liu Lizheng wailed and cried miserably, "You, you have no right to deal with me. I am Lizheng, I, I am a small official appointed and dismissed by the town guard mansion. .”

"So I'm still a petty official, so I have to follow the rules and obey the law." Wang Anye touched his chin and said seriously, "My sixth great-grandfather seems to have been transferred to Changning City Guard. If that's the case, send him to the city first." The guard will interrogate him, and after the evidence is convincing, he will be sent to the Qingluohai Storm Bay."

A hammer is fixed.

Liu Lizheng, who was crying, had a rag stuffed in his mouth and was dragged down and tied up by his family generals. There was no chance of turning over in his life.

An hour later.

In a carriage pulled by a spirit ox, Wang Anye happily ate roast chicken and mulberry fruits, which were gifts of gratitude from the villagers.He didn't want anything expensive, so he took some cheap food and strange stones.

"Master, you are really kind. For a trivial matter, you actually come to give justice to the common people." The servant flattered.

"Alas~" Wang Anye sighed deeply, "How can this be called a trivial matter? Grandpa said that the embankment of a thousand miles collapses in an ant's nest, so don't do something small."

"What's more, I, Wang Anye, as the eldest great-grandson, can't do other important things, so I can only honestly wait to inherit the family business. Sigh~ This kind of boring life that can be seen at a glance, can't be solved without doing something good. To solve the problem, do you still want to learn to be a playboy?"

"Hey, this stone seems a bit weird. Wang Xing, cut it open."

Then a stone given by the villagers was cut open, revealing a shiny spirit stone...

"Master, it turned out to be a spirit stone. Could it be that there is still a spirit stone mine hidden under the small Dongbang Village? You've made a fortune now." The boy shouted excitedly.

"Spiritual stone mine, it's okay. It hasn't been discovered for so long. It should be a small and micro-spiritual stone mine. Report it to the family for someone to investigate." Wang Anye didn't feel excited at all, but looked a little bored.

"Yes, master. Are you going to go back to the main house next?" The servant is no longer used to his young master's character, anyway, wherever his young master goes, good things happen to him, so he doesn't care.

"Recently, I feel a little bored. I went to the Flying Chariot Station in Xin'an Town, and took the Flying Chariot to Baidaowei to watch the sunrise and relax." Wang Anye was young, as if he was tired of the boring life, "Then I will stop by for a while. Go to Northwest Wei to watch the sunset for a few days, and then... I will stop by Longzuo County to visit my grandfather, great grandfather and the others. Well, there are also the third great grandfather and the seventh great grandfather~"

The boy was in a cold sweat, is this called Shun Lu?Young master, your itinerary completely crosses Longzuo County!However, the young master's orders cannot be disobeyed. Anyway, there are generals from the Lingtai Jing family and guards from the Heavenly Human Realm to take care of him. With the status of the young master, no one in Longzuo County would dare to touch him.

The chariot pulled by the spirit beast happily went all the way to the center of Xin'an Town.

……

At the same time, Xin'an Town.

Unknowingly, decades have passed since the completion of "Shouzhe Pass".Xin'an Town, which was once in disrepair, has now become a densely populated and increasingly prosperous large town.

The only thing that hasn't changed is "Shou Zhe Pass".

The city gate, which is more than ten feet high and several feet wide, is majestic and majestic, like a smoky gray dragon lying between the mountains, stretching for a full ten miles.Standing at the foot of "Shouzhe Pass" and looking around, there is no end in sight.

It is like a moat, separating the inner domain and the outer domain.

There are two worlds separated by a wall.

After "Shou Zhe Pass", not far away is the town guard mansion of Xin'an Town.

Guarding the frontier and defending the land, protecting the environment and the people, is the duty of the town guard.In order to protect the Chengguan, the town guard mansion was built very close to the "Shouzhe Pass".Basically, in the tutelary mansion, as long as you open the door, you can see the majestic Shouzhe Pass at a glance.

And between the town guard's mansion and Shouzhe pass, there is an urn city.

In the Wengcheng, there is a "Department of Transactions", which is responsible for supervising transactions.

Loose cultivators who have returned from the exploration of the outer domain can set up a booth here to sell the items they have obtained from the exploration of the outer domain.

Anyone who conducts transactions in the Wengcheng only needs to pay half of the national tax, half of the family tax, and only needs to pay the transaction tax, not the customs duty.

If one trades outside the Wengcheng, one has to pay [-]% of the transaction tax in accordance with the Dagan law. When entering the customs, one also needs to pay [-]% of the "tariff" to the Wang family of Changning as a reward for the Wang family to open up this customs.

Also because of the existence of this rule, unless it is a really valuable item, most casual cultivators will choose to sell the item directly in the urn city.

This urn city has therefore become an extremely lively trade center and a material distribution center. Every day, countless casual cultivators come in and out here, setting up stalls to sell goods, and there are also countless aristocratic families who come here to purchase materials.

Even in the entire Xin'an Town, there are few places more lively than this place.

noon.

The dazzling sun hung high on the zenith, exuding scorching heat. The shadow cast by Shouzhe Pass only covered a small area of ​​Wengcheng, and most of the places were exposed to the sun.

At this moment, it is the hottest time of the day in Wengcheng, and it is also the time when there are the fewest people in Wengcheng.

After being busy for most of the morning, it was rare for the scattered cultivators who set up the stall to take a break, so they simply closed the stall and got together in twos and threes to chat.

"It's really amazing to talk about 'Shou Zhe Pass'." A casual cultivator with a square head and big ears wiped his long stainless steel knife with an oilcloth, and said with emotion, "I have stayed here for more than thirty years. , witnessed four beast hordes with my own eyes. Tsk tsk tsk~ That was so easy to stop~~ If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed that the beast horde could have been blocked so easily even if I was killed.”

"It's the beast tide itself, isn't it big~" The casual cultivator next to him said indifferently, "I heard that it took ten years from the start of construction to the completion of this 'Shouzhe Pass'. It was built so quickly, can it Where is the strength?"

"Hey~ I really think I haven't seen a beast swarm?" Big-eared Sanxiu rolled his eyes at him disdainfully, "In terms of scale, the last two beast swarms had hundreds of beasts, and the scale is not that big at all." It’s not small, but the city gate didn’t even break through. It’s not strong yet, so how can it be considered strong?”

"Furthermore, the grades of the beasts participating in these beast hordes are not low. I have seen three or four of the fifth-rank beasts with my own eyes. If they are put in other places, it will be a big deal. .”

As he said that, he couldn't help but fell into the memories.

"The most recent time, I stood on the top of the city and watched with my own eyes a fifth-tier earth-splitting giant roaring and rushing towards the city gate. I was still holding the bow and arrow issued by Wang Shi in my hand, and I was completely shocked. I even forgot to hide."

"Then I saw a figure descending from the sky, with such a light sword strike, the fifth-order colorful tiger was frozen into an ice sculpture, and then cut into two pieces from the middle."

As he spoke, he danced and gestured, his whole being immersed in the excitement and shock at that time.

The casual cultivator next to him didn't believe it at first, but seeing what he said was sincere, he couldn't help believing it.

On the other hand, among the other casual cultivators, someone suddenly reacted: "Ice bloodlines are rare, let alone the strength that can freeze fifth-order fierce beasts with a single sword. Hiss! Could it be that the one you saw, actually Is it the ancestor of the Changning Wang family?"

"The one?"

"Who else could it be? Of course it's the ancestor of Longyan!" As soon as the gossip was mentioned, the Sanxiu immediately became energetic, "You don't know, this ancestor was seriously injured, and many people said she was alive It won't be a few years. Guess what happened? At that time, the Wang family came out with a Shouzhe Patriarch..."

was talking.

A young master appeared in the loose cultivator market with some guards.

The young master was very generous, as long as he saw a good thing, he would buy it without haggling, and then threw it into the bottomless storage ring.

This one looks like the boy who spreads wealth has come.

The casual repair vendors stopped bragging, hurriedly took out all the good things at the bottom of the box, and rushed to the young master one after another, offering treasures and said: "Young master, the moon-watching wild rhinoceros of this fourth-order beast The unicorn is a rare treasure for refining spirit weapons or medicine, and it only sells for four, no, three thousand gold."

The casual cultivator also wanted to claim a falsely high price, but after being glared at by the Lingtai Jing family next to the young master, he immediately swallowed back the false price and quoted a more honest and slightly higher price.

As soon as the words were finished, the young master took the moon-watching wild rhinoceros horn and put it away, and then another servant followed to pay the bill.

In a short period of time, he has purchased tens of thousands of dry gold supplies.But he was still thinking in his mind that if Grandpa Qi wanted to make alchemy, he had to get him more good alchemy materials.

My grandfather's gift is here, but my grandfather's... ah, a headache.

There are a lot of relatives in Longzuo County, how can his seven young masters go to visit relatives, how can they leave empty-handed?What's more, when you go to visit relatives, you don't go with a one-point gift, but you return with a nine-point gift?

Seeing this scene, a few casual cultivators at the Lingtai Realm with somewhat ferocious faces not far away looked at each other and seemed to have made up their minds.

"Young master, these are the eggs of the sixth-order water system spirit bird Yuanshui spirit crane that we risked our lives to retrieve from a certain lake outside the region... This object is destined for you, so I will charge you 30 dry gold."

Although these casual cultivators were apprehensive, they made up their minds to fly away as quickly as possible after completing this vote, and they would never come to Xin'an Town again in this life.

"Yuanshui Lingwen? What a wonderful wave, with infinite vitality." The young master stopped and said with great interest, "It is indeed somewhat similar to Yuanshui spirit crane eggs. Isn't 30 too cheap?"

"Master's eyes are as bright as a torch. As the saying goes, treasures are bestowed on heroes, only young masters are like this..." Several casual cultivators beamed with joy.

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the young master: "It's a pity that you are too uneducated to have seen real Yuanshui crane eggs. The eggs of Yuanshui cranes usually weigh more than two catties. And this egg, Both ends are round, not even a catty... This is probably a large goose egg, right? Sigh, casual cultivators these days don’t even care about making fakes.”

"This, this, this..." Several casual cultivators were sweating profusely. After being exposed, they hurriedly smirked, "Maybe we made a mistake, the young master is really insightful...Farewell, farewell~"

But he couldn't help cursing in his heart, who the hell can see the Yuanshui spirit crane eggs?They just picked up such an unknown egg and pretended to be the Yuanshui Linghe egg.

"Wait a minute." The young master sighed, "Although bluffing and deceiving was attempted, but the amount of money defrauded is so huge, this is not a small crime."

"How about this, there is a shortage of people in Qingluohai Storm Bay, and you can be fined for three years. Wang Xing, you can make arrangements and give them a few flying carriage tickets for free."

Are you kidding me?The few casual cultivators glanced at each other, dropped the "large goose egg", then jumped up and fled.But before flying far, there was an aura of a cultivator in the realm of heaven and man: "You little bastards are blind, and the seventh little prince gave you the flying chariot ticket, that's for your face."

Naturally, those few casual cultivators at the Lingtai Realm were captured, and according to the young master's instructions, they would definitely be sent to Storm Bay.

The rest of the casual repair merchants all looked at each other in blank dismay, terrified.

What is the origin of this young master?He even brought Heaven and Human Realm guards with him...

Isn't this bullying?
Next, Wang Anye bought a lot of gifts at a rather suitable price, with a total value of no less than 10,000+ dry gold.

After half an hour.

On the flying chariot to Baidaowei, Wang Anye leaned against the window, watching the clouds rolling, expressionless and bored.This kind of carefree life, where the end can be seen at a glance, is really too boring.

I can only do something to punish evil and promote good, and adjust my boring life.

That's it!

Bake the big goose egg just now, and eat an egg to relieve boredom.

Wang Anye took out the "big goose egg", and the clear sunlight from the sky fell on the "big goose egg" through the glass porthole. The Yuanshui spirit pattern on the goose egg suddenly bloomed, almost blinding Wang Anye's eyes.

"Wait! Is this the Yuanshui Dao pattern?" Wang Anye touched his chin and thought carefully, "The egg is mottled in color, with rounded ends and ink spots, weighing about one catty, and born with the Yuanshui Dao pattern. Could it be...is this?"

"The seventh-order spirit bird, the egg of the Yuanshui sky sparrow?"

"Congratulations young master, congratulations young master." The servants and guards at the side all congratulated.Even the Heavenly Human Realm guards sitting in the corner were staring sideways. The fate of these seven little princes must be too good, right?
"Aunt Liyao's grandma happens to be of Yuanshui's bloodline. Let's go to the academy and send her to be a pet after hatching." Wang Anye pondered for a while before deciding its fate.

Wang Xing, the close servant, asked weakly: "Young master, those casual cultivators who are scammers? Are you still planning to go to Qingluo Sea Storm Bay?"

"Well, my great-grandfather said that this is an attempted crime that they didn't terminate on their own initiative. They were punched in the eye, and it doesn't affect their charges."

Xiaosi Wang Xing suddenly felt that those casual cultivators at the Lingtai stage had died unjustly. Not only did they set eyes on a treasure, but they were so stupid and bold as to deceive the seventh young master... They didn't even know how strange the seventh young master was!
