Jiangmen Tianjiao: Reborn with funny ancestors

Although there is no definite conclusion as to whether Chu Xingxing's child is the reincarnation of Emperor Taizong, such a major event as the birth of a child in the Marquis of Liyang Mansion needs to be handled carefully.

On the third day of the third lunar month, Mrs. Chu asked people to distribute rice-filled eggs outside the house.

Like a festival, the people of Longcheng were willing to come and pray for the newly born young master of the Hou Mansion, say auspicious words and share their blessings.

Everyone I know well in Longcheng came to congratulate me.

The Regent's Palace was filled with guests.

As the child's biological uncle, Wang Ting came from Wusheng County early in the morning.

The Chu family is a general and does not have as many rules as the civil servants' family. After Wang Ting went into the back house to see his sister and nephew, he returned to the front yard to help Chu Tianjiao entertain the guests.

Chu Tianjiao was wearing a brand-new scarlet python robe today, and a hair crown with two dragons playing with pearls. The skin that had been polished by wind and frost on the battlefield for half a year had been restored, and now his jade face and red lips looked very noble.

Perhaps because people are in high spirits during happy events, the officials among the guests discovered that the murderous aura in today's regent was hidden in his faint smile.

Wang Ting took two steps forward and joked at Chu Tianjiao: "This python robe is much more presentable than the one we stole from the troupe when we were young! Now the little bully is really the king and hegemony, and I am the unbeatable villain. , it’s time to change careers.”

Chu Tianjiao's almond-shaped eyes flashed brightly, and he raised his fingers to ask Wang Ting to get closer.

Wang Ting didn't know what she had to say privately, so he listened.

Chu Tianjiao whispered: "You can continue to act as a villain. You have read the letter I wrote to you two days ago. If you have no objection, go over there and sing a song first, and help me get some food back. "

Wang Ting followed Chu Tianjiao's gaze and saw an unlucky old man sitting in the corner with his head hanging down.

Wang Ting sighed, "You can't change your bandit temper even if you become a prince. Why are you staring at our Wang family?"

"Tsk, I looked at the ration records of the various companies in the northwest that supported the army last year, and you, the Wang family, are the worst, and you still have the nerve to complain about poverty to me!"

Wang Ting had no choice but to walk towards the unlucky old man.

Chu Tianjiao is now the regent. The wealthy families in Longcheng are afraid that they will not be able to get along with the regent's palace. They are not as arrogant as when Chu Tianjiao first came to the northwest. They all want to be Chu Tianjiao's lackeys.

But Chu Tianjiao treated everyone equally, and except for those who were slightly close to each other's family, he looked indifferent to other aristocratic families.

The person who was targeted by Chu Tianjiao was none other than Mrs. Wang from Wangjiawubao.

Old Mrs. Wang was originally reluctant to appear in front of Chu Tianjiao, but the child's mother was from the Wang family, and as the elder of the Wang family, he had to come.

"Uncle, why are you sitting here alone and feeling unhappy? Where is your third uncle?"

When Mrs. Wang saw Wang Ting, she quickly put away her face of keeping strangers away, and respectfully greeted his seventh young master to sit down.

"Your third uncle is talking to someone over there!"

Wang Ting looked up and found Master Wang San in the crowd.

It seemed that Mr. Wang San got along well with the other wealthy families in Longcheng, and they were chatting and laughing about interesting things.

Old Mrs. Wang complained in a sour tone: "These people followed the regent south and swallowed up a lot of business from the famous families in the south. Now when they return to Longcheng, they are all arrogant and dare not take me, Wangjiawubao, in their eyes.

Seventh Young Master, you have to support us and don't let those other companies get on top of us! "

Wang Ting grinned and asked: "When the regent went to the south, these families donated money and food, and got some benefits from following the army, but you always get pink eye?

If I had known this, I would have donated it! "

Mr. Wang was unconvinced, "Why didn't I donate? Didn't I give out 100,000 shi of grain last year?"

Wang Ting smiled and said: "You are the one who settles accounts. Isn't your one hundred thousand dan just to avoid being punished for arrears in taxes from previous years? It is not only different in nature from other people's sincere donations of food and money, but also in terms of consciousness. The gap is too big.

I heard that the regent is planning to open up the trade routes in the Western Regions and organize merchants from the northwest to trade with other countries in the Western Regions.

This time when the regent attacked Xirong, people began to generously help the regent raise money and food.

Don't think you will be jealous when someone comes back from the Western Regions with a lot of gold and jewelry! "

Wang Ting knew that Chu Tianjiao was planning to trade with various countries in the Western Regions.

Chu Tianjiao was already preparing to transfer him back to the Ministry of Household Affairs, where he would be mainly responsible for trade in the Western Regions.

At this time, Mr. Wang San also came back and said to Mr. Wang excitedly: "Dad, do you know what the Pang family did when they followed the regent south?"

The Pang family is a medical family in Ganzhou. In the past, half of the medicinal materials in Ganzhou were controlled by the Pang family.

Later, the Pang family was subdued by Chu Tianjiao, and half of the shares belonged to Qihuanghui, which was actually controlled by Chu Tianjiao.

"The Pang family not only bought several mountains belonging to the Wen family in Xiangyang to grow herbal medicine, but also opened medicine shops to several states in the south. In a few years, his family's business may be spread across the country. By then, the Pang family will become the number one medical family in Dali."

Hearing his son's slightly excited words, Mrs. Wang said bitterly: "No matter how powerful the Pang family is, how can they go beyond our Wang family? Our Wang family has enough land to open several horse farms. Who cares about how many horses there are in Xiangyang?" Mountain?"

But Wang Ting knew that it might be difficult to save all the Wang family's land.

Chu Tianjiao is formulating a land restriction order to divide the acres in the hands of big families. In the future, if a family occupies more than a certain amount of acres, additional land taxes will be levied.

The amount may be set relatively high at the beginning, and the main victims will be super-rich families like the Wang family.

This is actually forcing these big aristocratic families to divide their families and property. After one or two generations, the monopoly of the aristocratic families will be broken.

If an aristocratic family refused to divide their property, they would have to sell the excess land, and the government would take it back and sell or lease it to the poor.

But this policy is still top secret, and Wang Ting will naturally not reveal it to the old man of the Wang family.

He thought of the task of raising food that Chu Tianjiao had given him, and began to say: "Uncle, you don't like the Pang family at this time, but look at the Fang family. The Fang family's status in Ganzhou is not as good as our Wang family." Low.

I heard that Fang Chengxuan, the head of the Fang family, has been elected as the president of the Ganzhou Chamber of Commerce.

But no one has recommended you to be this president! "

Mrs. Wang had been angry about this matter before, and when he heard the old matter in the royal court was brought up again, he kept a dark face and remained silent.

At this moment, a young man in rich clothes was carried in on a wooden wheelchair.

The old man of the Wang family spoke with sourness in his words: "The head of the Fang family is now a famous person in front of the regent. Look at his arrogant and proud look. After all, he is just a businessman. He is crazy. what?"

"Uncle, are you saying that you have sour grapes? During the Regent's Western Expedition, if people like the Fang family and the Pang family followed the Regent to various countries in the Western Regions and brought back cart after cart of gold and jewelry, Don’t get a toothache then!”

The third master of the Wang family had just heard about the trade in the Western Regions, and his thoughts became vivid. He asked: "Seventh Young Master, this time the regent is marching to the west, can we, the Wang family, also send someone to follow the army and explore the way to the Western Regions? I, Wangjiawu, The fort produces a lot of supplies every year, and if we trade them with the Western Regions, we will definitely make a lot of money!"

Wang Ting grinned, wondering what he was doing: "But those families have been supplying food and wages to the regent. Going out with the army to do business is just compensation from the regent. The support the Wang family gave to the regent last year was not enough. qualifications."

In the past, Ganzhou also traded with the Western Regions. When Mrs. Wang thought of the carts of gold and jewelry, he finally couldn't help it. He gritted his teeth and asked: "How much food does the Prince Regent lack for the Western Expedition? My Wang family will pay for half of it, right?"

Wang Ting cheered in his heart, "Okay, I'll just wait for you to say this!"

But he didn't show it on his face, and said in a perfunctory manner: "Let me ask you, there are too many people who are willing to pay and provide food for the regent. If you want to give it to the regent, the regent may not accept it! "

After saying these heart-wrenching words, Wang Ting stood up and faced Fang Chengxuan.
