"Father."
· "The governor of the county, Sikong Lie, sent people on horseback to spread the news. The ten-year term of Tianwu County has expired, and he will be transferred to Donghai County soon!"
· "What do you think he means?"
Let’s go to Donghai County with him, and he can protect us for the next ten years.”
“Ten shares per year is thousands of taels of silver. He is reluctant to part with this wealth.”
Jiang Yuan thought for a while and said.
“Then how should we reply?”
Wang Daqiang asked again.
"Tell Magistrate Sikong that I will consider his suggestion."
"Go and get another five thousand taels of silver notes, and deliver them to Sikong Lie personally and tell him that this is this year's dividend."
Jiang Yuan did not explicitly refuse, nor did he agree immediately.
Even if the Wang family really wants to go to Donghai County to seek refuge with Sikong Lie, it will only happen after Sikong Lie has established a foothold in Donghai County.
And if Sikong Lie dies, there will be another Sikong Lie. He has already connected the Wang family's industry with the political, business and military circles of the entire Tianwu County.
Without Sikong Lie, at worst, we can just negotiate with the next county governor, and it will not affect the overall situation.
However, nothing is absolute, and Jiang Yuan is also afraid that someone will take advantage of the handover between the old and new governors to cause trouble, so he cannot clearly refuse Sikong Lie yet.
"But isn't spring just beginning this year?"
"And in previous years, it was not three thousand taels, so why should I be given five thousand taels this year?"
When Wang Daqiang heard the five thousand taels of silver, he suddenly became very distressed.
"Just go if I ask you to go, why is there so much nonsense?"
Jiang Yuan said, hating that iron cannot become steel.
His three sons and several adult grandsons have experienced a lot in the business field in the past two years and have grown up a lot, but they still cannot change their deep-rooted small-farmer mentality.
Pattern!
The situation needs to be opened up!
It is so worth using these five thousand taels of silver to establish a good relationship with a feudal official!
If they did not have these five thousand taels of silver, and the Wang family did not follow Sikong Lie to Donghai County in the end, then they would most likely have an enmity with Sikong Lie, a high-ranking official in the border area.
Then all the money they spent on Sikong Lie in the past two years was wasted.
And how do you know whether they will come back in the next ten years, or whether they will be directly promoted to become a state shepherd?
"Oh, dad, don't be angry, my son knows."
Wang Daqiang saw Jiang Yuan angry and nodded in fear.
"Daqiang, have you practiced the Dragon-shaped Fist I taught you in the past two years? How come it's been two years and you still haven't become a master?"
"How many times have I told you that your body is the capital of revolution. If your body collapses, you won't be able to take away even a penny of your wealth." Black-haired man? "
"Not only you, but your sons must also urge them to practice martial arts and literature. Only by constantly improving themselves can we keep our family's wealth."
Jiang Yuan looked at Wang Daqiang and said seriously.
"What my father said is true, my son took note of it."
Wang Daqiang lowered his head guiltily and whispered.
"Hmm, go ahead and answer the question."
"Remember to entertain the person who sent the message to the county governor's house, and take care of it before leaving."
"The other five thousand taels of silver given to the governor of Sikong should be sent as soon as possible, before it is too late."
Jiang Yuan asked again.
“Yes.”
Wang Daqiang nodded.
"It's been an eventful time!"
"I hope the new county guard can get along well with the officials of Tianwu County."
"I also hope that he won't open his mouth like a lion."
Jiang Yuan felt more and more what it was like to be in a world without any control.
In this life, he awakened to Su Hui too late, his martial arts qualifications were too poor, and his foundation was seriously lacking.
If he could awaken his wisdom when he was young, even if his martial arts qualifications were very poor, he should have already entered the realm of a third-level warrior by now.
His net worth will be richer, and his family heritage will be stronger.
Hence, it is safe to say that Jiang Yuan has three or five top-grade warriors to take charge of his family.
If he has three or five top-grade warriors under his command, even if his own martial arts level is not high, he will have no fear of pressure from all sides.
But it has only been two years since the rise of the Wang family, and Qin Meng, a sixth-grade warrior in the family, is already the most powerful being.
And he himself is only a seventh-grade warrior.
The governor of Tianwu County may have been a civil servant with no obvious martial arts skills, but the resources and power he can mobilize are too huge.
This makes Jiang Yuan have to guard against it!
Sikong Lie, the governor of Tianwu County, completed his ten-year term and was transferred to Donghai County. The former emperor ordered Cui Wancheng to be promoted to the governor of Tianwu County. News spread like wildfire.
To the people of Tianwu County, this is an insignificant matter, but to the officials of Tianwu County, including merchants, it is a big deal.
Tianwu City.
Garrison the General's Mansion.
Jiang Yuan came uninvited and asked to see Tianwucheng garrison general Lu Han.
Lu Han was born in the Lu family, one of the best martial arts families in the Daye Dynasty. The head of the Lu family was a first-class martial artist, and Lu Han was also a leader in the Lu family of this generation. He had already become a second-class warrior at the age of forty.
At the age of fifty, he has reached the peak of the second-grade warrior, and has also become the garrison general of Tianwu County. He can be regarded as a general in command.
Lu Han is also one of the shareholders of the Wang family's business in Tianwu City. On the surface, he holds half of the shares, but in fact he only holds 10% of the shares, which is the same as the county governor Sikong Lie.
Because in Jiang Yuan's eyes, Lu Han, a second-grade warrior who holds a county's armaments, is more worthy of winning over.
In addition, the other party is a second-grade martial artist, so giving him a few pointers on martial arts will benefit him for life.
So Jiang Yuan and Lu Han move around more frequently on weekdays.
"King Tiezhu of the Cao Min, pays homage to General Lu!"
Jiang Yuan bowed to Lu Han and lowered his posture.
"Brother Wang, what are you doing? You and I don't have to do these silly things, please get up quickly."
Although Lu Han was born in the Lu family, a martial arts family, and he was also a martial arts wizard, he was not from the direct line, but from a collateral lineage.
Hence, apart from supporting him in martial arts, the Lu family really didn't give him much in terms of financial assets.
He now gets married early and has children, and his family is full of children and grandchildren. Even a second-grade warrior still needs to eat.
The salary of the Tianwu County garrison general could not even support his daily practice, let alone support his family.
But since the rise of the Wang family, he has been paid three thousand taels of silver every year, which has made his life more comfortable.
"Thank you, General!"
Jiang Yuan was pulled up by Lu Han and said with a smile.
"Brother Wang is here to deal with Cui Wancheng, the new governor of Tianwu County?"
Lu Han asked Jiang Yuan to take a seat, and then spoke.
"The general has a keen eye."
"Now that Governor Sikong has been transferred to Donghai County, 10% of his shares have become vacant, so I want to ask the general what he means."
"I wonder if this 10% of shares can satisfy our Governor Cui?"
Jiang Yuan asked.
It’s hard to say.
"This Cui Wancheng is from the Cui family of the great Confucian family of the Daye Dynasty. More than one-third of the prime ministers of our Daye Dynasty are from the Cui family. The members of the Cui family serving in the court are spread across all ministries and departments, and they can be said to be extremely powerful."
Wan Cheng was also the legitimate son of the Cui family. He passed the imperial examination at the age of twelve and became a Jinshi at the age of eighteen. From then on, he entered the official career and rose to prominence. "
"You have to know that three of the six ministers of the dynasty had served as imperial magistrates, and Cui Wancheng had also served as such."
"So the benefit you brought to his door may be a political achievement or a stain for him!"
Lu Han said seriously.
