Old things in Nancheng

Before the aristocratic family was separated, there were not many private properties under the name of each house.The property belongs to the family and the public, and the masters eat and use it in the public, and the monthly money is pocket money.Of course, there is a big difference between those who are shameless and those who are shameless. Those who are shameless have errands and earn more, and their elders are rewarded from time to time. Not well off.

Like the youngest Wang Qilian, he is a person who does not have much income. Fortunately, he has Mrs. Wang to help him, and his wife's dowry can also have some income, which is considered to maintain the dignity of the third house.

When it comes to daughter-in-law, the person belongs to the man, but the dowry is not.The daughter-in-law's dowry does not belong to the property of the man's family, it is regarded as the daughter-in-law's own body, and it is passed on to her children and grandchildren when she is old and dead.

After Wang Qishen's Yangzhou case came out, Wang Qinian asked Feng's and Hu's family members to take their dowry back for temporary safekeeping, and handed over his private property to Wang Zimo.

The case was very big, and the officials personally intervened. Wang Qinian didn't have much hope of getting through the door. After all, the Wang family didn't have much official friendship. In the same year, as well as the relationship left by the older generation, there is a saying that people take tea for a while, and if they have not been in touch for many years, the friendship will not be stable.

As Wang Qinian, who has been in charge of the royal family's financial power for 20 years, how much private property can he have?

Wang Zimo and Lin Zhilan were both very curious. According to their thinking, the Wang family should almost be evacuated by Wang Qinian. Without anyone noticing, they steal 1 taels of silver every year. In 20 years, at least 20 taels of money would be needed. Be worthy of yourself.

At night, the couple opened the nanmu box and counted all the properties. After summarizing, they were dumbfounded. Only then did they know who Wang Qinian was.

More than a dozen shops, two houses, 5 mu of paddy fields, 8 mu of forest land, and [-] taels of silver bills, all paid and calculated, are only [-] to [-] taels of silver.It can be seen from this that although Wang Qinian has been fighting to the death with the old man these years, he still has the Wang family and clan in his heart. He has not frantically amassing money, and most of his thoughts are still devoted to revitalizing the Wang family.

It is conceivable that if Mrs. Wang hadn't kept Wang Qinian at home back then, he would have been able to go to high school with his talent, what would the Wang family be like now?Of course, this kind of remark is a bit of hindsight, but it can be imagined that Mrs. Wang is probably regretting it now.

Now that the Wang family is in trouble, Wang Qinian put aside his past suspicions and bravely shoulders heavy responsibilities. This kind of mind makes Wang Zimo feel ashamed, and Lin Zhilan sees another side of Wang Qinian.It's not the coldness of abandoning his wife and children when he was young, or the hypocritical care after losing his eldest son, but the responsibility of being the head of the royal family. This kind of person, no matter where he is placed, can achieve a great career.

"Lan'er, let's take care of these things for the time being, but we can't take them. We have to take care of them from the second wife, sister-in-law and Yan'er, but these things should have been left by the second master to the elder brother. Now, we can let the second wife make the decision and give these things to Yan'er as a dowry." Wang Zimo said sincerely.

Lin Zhilan is a very generous person, so naturally she doesn't care about these industries.But she understood what Wang Zimo implied.

There is a difference between the elder and the younger, and the difference between the concubine and the concubine. Wang Ziyan is the eldest son, so even if the family is separated, he should still get most of the family property.An illegitimate child like Wang Zimo has never been recognized by the clan, and will not give her half a copper. Even if she is a descendant of the Wang family, she is still the youngest son and concubine. The money, and these, according to Wang Zimo's understanding, Wang Qinian had already given her, so she couldn't black-heartedly take Wang Ziyan's share, even if Wang Ziyan was gone, she couldn't either.

This is the stubborn self-esteem in Wang Zimo's bones.

After the couple counted, they still lived as usual.At the end of the year, there are a lot of things to do, all the shopkeepers have to come back to pay their accounts, they have to prepare for Taohua's wedding, and they have to prepare for the New Year's affairs in the house. with.

Within a few days, news spread that the Wang family was involved in lawsuits and sold their ancestral property. Because they were eager to cash out, the asking price for the Wang family's property was not high, which was regarded as a cheap sale.

Wang Zimo found out that the Wang family actually sent Wang Qilian to take charge of the sale of the seller's property, he couldn't help but secretly sighed, and secretly rejoiced that she would really be sorry if she didn't take action when she met such an idiot.

Therefore, after the accounts were settled at home, Wang Zimo took out 2 taels of silver and asked Zhang Bucai to wait for the shopkeeper to come forward and buy the fields of Wangjiazhuang.

2 taels of silver is not much, and in fact Wang Zimo doesn’t have much money. Her money has been invested in Xianlai Pavilion and the steakhouse and has not been returned.

Zhang Bucai is an outsider, and deliberately concealed the identity of the host family. Wang Qilian was so out of his mind that he didn't even know that Wang Zimo was behind the chair. Seeing Zhang Bucai's generous purchases of land, Wang Qilian was overjoyed Under the circumstances, he sold most of the fertile land to Wang Zimo.

As for the other properties of the Wang family, Wang Zimo was powerless and could only watch helplessly as the fat sheep fell into his mouth.

After winning the Wang family's thousands of hectares of fertile land, Wang Zimo never closed his mouth. Lin Zhilan felt a headache from the silly music all day long, and the Liu family would join in the fun.

The thousand-year farming society has created the values ​​of all people. Obviously, doing business can make more money, but people here still use land as a measure of wealth.

Wang Zimo opened Xianlai Pavilion, a steak shop, and a breeding farm. The investment cost was about 1 taels of silver, but the profit was more than the land bought with 2 taels of silver. However, the satisfaction brought by the thousand hectares of fertile land was not Is far more than two stores.

According to Wang Zimo, we are also landed people now.

"How many people have to be hired for a thousand hectares of land, and how much care is taken, this is God's mercy. If God is in a bad mood and there is a drought or flood, how much food can you get for your thousand hectares of land?" Lin Zhilan sarcastically said.

"You don't understand this." Wang Zimo smoothed out the folds on his clothes that didn't exist at all, and said cheerfully while holding a cup of tea: "A farmer, businessman, businessman is at the bottom, what's the use of making money, this tax and that tax Even if you have money, you can't keep it. It's better to be a farmer in An An'an, guarding a few acres of land, and when we go, the land can be passed on to Bao'er. Such a stable dowry can keep Bao'er from worrying about life. "

Well, Lin Zhilan got it right, the times are different, the policies are different, the imperial court respects the peasant households, the despicable merchants, the prince Moxin thinks about ghosts and ghosts, and only buys the land of the Wang family, which is the most valuable thing of the Wang family.

When the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month came, the New Year's Eve really kicked off. When the courtyard was in full swing, a guest from afar came to the courtyard. It was the person Wang Zimo had been looking forward to for a long time——Zheng Daming.

I thought that Zheng Daming would not come again, but who would have thought that he took his old mother to Yanguan County at the foot of the year, and now Prince Mo is even happier. With Zheng Daming here, the safety of her and her family is finally guaranteed, and she will never have to worry about it again. I'm worried that the villains will secretly engage in such dirty things as assassination and hijacking.

"Haha, brother Zheng, my dear brother Zheng, I have been looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally I have you here. You made me wait so hard." Wang Zimo went out to greet him in person.

"Master, the certain family and the old lady will be yours from now on, please be respected by the certain family." Zheng Daming saw that Wang Zimo was so affectionate, and he felt that some scholars would die for their confidants. Zhu, knelt down on one leg and performed the subordinate salute firmly.

"Brother Zheng, what are you doing? Brothers of life and death, you and I, you must not be so polite." Wang Zimo stretched out his hands to help Zheng Daming get up, but her small body can pull Zheng Daming's seven-foot-strong body so well. Chinese.

"Don't dare to call me brothers and sisters. If I praise a certain family, I will be worshiped by that family. From now on, this life of a certain family will be my own. If I don't accept it, this family will leave immediately." Go, don't dare to stay in Wang's house with shame."

Zheng Daming has always remembered Wang Zimo's kindness. This time he persuaded his wife to come to Yanguan County to join Wang Zimo. The etiquette.

Seeing Zheng Daming's words, Wang Zimo no longer forced himself to accept Zheng Daming's great gift, and turned to Mrs. Zheng: "Mother, since you have come here, you will treat this place as your home. Whatever you lack , just open your mouth. Brother Zheng saved me from danger, I can't repay him for this kindness, but I can't forget my kindness, I just keep this feeling in my heart, and take care of you until the end of your life, you can see how it works."

"It's my son's luck that the young master is kind."

Mrs. Zheng looks very old, but in fact she is only seven or eight years older than Liu Shi, but judging from her appearance, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is Liu Shi's mother.After all, she is a person at the bottom of the society, and a widow with a broken family. When Mrs. Zheng saw that Wang Zimo was dressed in a brocade, his face was like a crown of jade, and he lived in a deep house with many servants, she was already heartbroken.Facing Wang Zimo's gentle care now, she feels uncomfortable all over, and she doesn't know where to put her hands and feet.

Wang Zimo asked Wang Shun to arrange Zheng's mother and son in the wing room where the shopkeepers lived, and he brought Zheng Daming to meet the guards.They all followed Wang Zimo all the way back from Xingyuan Mansion. Zheng Daming has a very good relationship with the guards. Now that everyone knows that Zheng Daming has joined Wang Zimo, everyone is very excited, shouting for drinking and punching.

Naturally, Wang Zimo agreed to all of them, and asked the kitchen to set up a banquet, and drank with them, and the quarrel lasted until midnight, and everyone was still interested.

Wang Zimo didn't leave, and pulled Zheng Daming to talk: "I've thought about your coming for a long time, and planned two ways for you."

"My lord, a certain family only knows to follow my lord, and doesn't know anything else."

"Just listen patiently, and tell me after you think about it carefully later." Prince Moxu pressed his hands and thought, "One way, you follow me as the leader of the guards, and we will recruit some more people in the coming year, and leave it to you." Tuning and teaching, strive to recruit 50 people in two years, be loyal, and work hard.”

"The second way, you go out on your own, and I will provide you with money. Although our Yanguan County is prosperous, the power of the underworld is extremely weak. If you put it in the rivers and lakes outside, you are not worthy of carrying shoes. With your skills, you can definitely sit on the top spot in our county. I have Brother Jiang to protect me in the official position. If you can succeed, we will help each other and take black and white. After three to five years, this Yanguan County is not our world." Wang Zimo raised his eyebrows.

Hearing Wang Zimo's ambitious words, Zheng Daming was a little dazed when he was drunk. He knew that Wang Zimo looked weak, but deep down he was a very strong person, but he never thought that Wang Zimo's ambition was so great.

What a challenging and tempting feat it is to unify the underground world of Yanguan County. If a dignified man can accomplish such a great cause, he will not be born in this world in vain.

Zheng Daming was in a daze, and his heart moved.
