……
Xin'an Town, Changningwei.
It has been nearly fifty years since the land was opened.
Today's Xin'an Town has entered a mature stage of development, with large and small farms scattered throughout Xin'an Town.
In addition to the family farm, there are also villages built near 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 are all poor civilian families from Changning Guard or several nearby guards, or some tenant farmer families whose contracts have been terminated. Although it is dangerous to move and open up wasteland, once you successfully establish a foothold, you can own a lot of self-cultivated land and your family's total income will rise qualitatively.
The Changning Wang family opened up wasteland in Xin'an Town with a development order, which did not mean that all the land in Xin'an Town was enclosed and turned into Wang's private farm.
The reason why Daqian State encourages land reclamation will even provide some financial support. The main purpose is to expand the country and increase the breeding habitat of the entire human race. Therefore, the families involved in land reclamation have the right to prioritize land to build farms based on the amount of investment, but they must also guide ordinary civilians who are willing to open up land to thrive here.
In addition, the government will divide the areas under the jurisdiction of the aristocratic families based on the agreement between the aristocratic families. All civilians in the jurisdictions belong to the jurisdiction of the aristocratic families. The aristocratic family has the responsibility to protect the land and bring peace to the people, and it also has to shoulder the responsibilities of collecting taxes and other duties.
In return, 10% of the 40% 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 aristocratic family are called jurisdictional territory, not private territory. Only those farms that have been measured, registered and approved by the government can be regarded as the legal private property of the family.
It's just that the Wang family in Changning is too powerful, and the influence of the local government has been reduced to a minimum. As long as it does not violate national laws, in most situations, they are at the mercy of the Wang family.
Fortunately, the Changning Wang family is not that kind of bully family that preys on the common people. Instead, they take good care of the common people under their jurisdiction and think of them whenever there is an opportunity to make a fortune.
Dongbang Village, Xin'an Town.
This place is located in the northwest of the town. Because there are many rivers and rocky hills, the fertile land that can be cultivated here is relatively fragmented and messy, which does not fit the Wang family's large-scale farm production model.
Therefore, a group of civilians settled here and started pioneering under the guidance of the Wang family. Decades have passed, and Dongbang Village has grown to have a settled population of about 1,300 people. 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 raised in fish ponds will be purchased by Wang’s Fish Stall. The varieties of mulberry trees are also high-quality varieties provided by Wang. The silkworms they raise have a high survival rate and excellent cocoon quality.
Don’t worry about the sales of raw cocoons, the United Silk Reeling Factory of the in-law alliance will purchase them uniformly.
Therefore, the villagers in Dongbang Village have a good income and are willing to send their children to the [Village School] to receive enlightenment education while living and working in peace and contentment.
Village school is an enlightenment school jointly run by the Wang family and the government. The "Wang family school" trains "teachers" and teaches on a rotating basis in each village to popularize basic education for school-age children. It only charges some basic fees and the rest. The money was subsidized by the Wang family and the government.
Dongbang Village School, located at the entrance of the village, was built with high-quality bricks, tiles and cement. Not very pretty, but very strong.
At this time, about seventy or eighty schoolchildren were listening carefully to the class in the village school.
Outside the classroom.
A slightly plump, wealthy man in his fifties or sixties was nodding his head and saying: "Seventh Young Master, our village school in Dongbang Village has always been the best among the schools in Xin'an Town. Every year we meet There are three or four outstanding schoolchildren who are admitted to the Wang Clan Academy, and every year some of them are selected into our Wang Clan's domestic servant team."
Not everyone can be a servant of the Wang family today.
If you want to enter the Wang family servant system, you must have relatively good grades in the entire Wang clan study. Their future development path can also start from working as maids, servants, etc., and then gradually move to steward-type management positions, or senior steward-level leadership positions.
In addition to the domestic servant system, the Wang family also has a servant system and a general system. The latter two have slightly lower performance requirements, but have higher requirements for bloodline qualifications. In addition, there are Wang's various job systems, which represent different development directions.
The one known as the "Seventh Young Master" is a young boy with an immature face. He was wearing a brocade garment made of cloud-patterned spiritual cotton, with a jade belt around his waist, sword shoes on his feet and a jade hanging from his waist. He looked like a typical young master from a wealthy family.
The identity of this young master is not simple. He is the current great-great-grandson of the Wang family in Changning - Wang Anye. He is the seventh eldest son in the Wang family's An family, so he is called the seventh young master.
Not only that, his maternal clan origins are equally extraordinary. His mother, Qian Yurou, is the eldest granddaughter of the contemporary patriarch of the Qian clan in Longzuo. With the status of two direct descendants of the Wang family and the Qian family, one can imagine how high Wang Anye's status is?
Therefore, in addition to the two clever young men behind him, there were also two generals from the Lingtai Realm family guarding him in the open.
And in the darkness, there was another Tianrenjing family general from the Qian family looking after him for twelve hours. It can be seen that even the Qian family attaches great importance to this direct 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 a concubine? Congratulations."
Although Wang Anye is only nine years old, he often follows his great-grandfather Wang Shouzhe to teach him advice. He has also been studying at the Wang Clan Academy for three years. Naturally, he is different from other children. He speaks with a mature look.
"This..." Liu Lizheng was sweating profusely. He had been wondering before why the great-grandson of the Wang family came to inspect the village school in the small village.
Faced with such coercion, Liu Lizheng knelt down and said, "Seventh Young Master, I was deceived by my lard. I shouldn't have used force to take Lady Zhao as my concubine... and used the despicable... ..."
"Okay, okay." Wang Anye waved his hand slightly impatiently, "You don't have to tell me this. I'm only nine years old and I don't understand those nasty things. If it weren't for Senior Sister Zhao from the clan school. I'm complaining, my young master... Since you admit it, that's fine... Wang Xing."
"The villain is here." Wang Xing, a clever boy, came out and stared at Liu Lizheng fiercely, "Master, how should we deal with this thief?"
"Hmm~ Grandpa said that even garbage has a certain use. I also heard from grandpa that when Qingluowei opened up wasteland, there was a sea area called Storm Bay that was quite difficult to deal with." Wang Anye thought about it for a while and said, "Then Buy him a ticket and send him to Storm Bay to use his remaining energy."
"Young master has a distinguished reputation." Wang Xing grabbed Liu Lizheng.
"Spare your life, young master, spare your life, 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 the governor of the town. A small official."
"It turns out that I am still a minor official, so I have to abide by the rules and laws." Wang Anye touched his chin and said seriously, "My sixth grandpa seems to have been transferred to guard Changning City. In that case, first of all Send it to the City Guards Mansion for interrogation. After the evidence is conclusive, send it to Qingluo Sea Storm Bay."
The final word.
Crying Liu Lizheng had a rag stuffed in his mouth and was dragged down and **** by his guards. There was no chance of him turning around in this life.
An hour later.
Wang Anye was in a carriage pulled by a spiritual ox, happily eating roast chicken and mulberry fruits, which were gifts of thanks from the villagers. He didn't want anything expensive, so he took some cheap food and strange stones.
"Master, you are so kind-hearted. For such a trivial matter, you actually came to provide justice to the common people." The boy said flatteringly.
"Alas~" Wang Anye sighed deeply, "How can this be said to be a trivial matter? My great-great-grandfather once said that a thousand-mile embankment breaks down in an ant nest, so don't neglect doing good deeds because they are small."
"What's more, as my eldest great-grandson, I, Wang Anye, can't do other big things. I can only wait to inherit the family business. Alas~ This kind of boring life with one glance at the end, don't do it If you want to do something good to relieve your difficulties, should you learn to be a playboy?"
"Hey, this stone seems a little weird. Wang Xing, cut it open."
Then a stone given by the villagers was cut open, revealing a sparkling spiritual stone...
"Master, it turns out to be a spirit stone. Is it possible that there is a spirit stone mine hidden under the small Dongbang Village? This time I made a fortune." The boy shouted excitedly.
"The Lingshi mine is okay. It hasn't been discovered for so long. It should be just a small and micro Lingshi mine. Let's report it to the family and let people go explore it." Wang Anye didn't feel excited at all, but looked a little bored.
"Yes, young master. Are you going to go back to the main house next?" The young man is used to his young master's character. Anyway, his young master always encounters good things wherever he goes, but he doesn't take it seriously. .
"I've been a little bored lately, so I went to the flying chariot station in Xin'an Town and took the flying chariot to Baidaowei to watch the sunrise and relax." At a young age, Wang Anye seemed to be tired of the boring life, "Then again I’ll drop by the Northwest Guard to watch the sunset for a few days, and then... I’ll drop by Longzuo County to visit my grandfather, great-great-grandfather and the others. Well, there are also the third great-grandfather and the seventh great-grandfather~"
The boy is sweating coldly, is this called a ride? Master, your itinerary has completely crossed Longzuo County! However, the young master's orders cannot be violated. Anyway, there are Lingtai Realm family generals and Tianren Realm guards taking care of him. With the young master's identity, no one in Longzuo County would dare to touch him.
The chariot pulled by the spirit beast headed happily towards the center of Xin'an Town.
……
At the same time, Xin'an Town.
Unconsciously, decades have passed since the completion of "Shouzheguan". Xin'an Town, which was once in ruins and awaiting development, has now become a large, densely populated and increasingly prosperous town.
The only thing that has not changed is "Shou Zheguan".
The city gate, which is more than ten feet high and several feet wide, is majestic and majestic, like a smoky gray dragon coiling between the mountains, stretching for ten miles. Standing at the foot of "Shouzhe Pass" and looking around, there is no end in sight.
It is like a natural moat, isolating the inner realm from the outer realm.
Separated by a wall, there are two worlds.
After "Shouzhe Pass", not far away, is the garrison of Xin'an Town.
It is the duty of the garrison to defend the territory and protect the territory and the people. In order to protect the city pass, the garrison was built very close to the "Shouzhe Pass". Basically, as long as you open the door in the tutelary mansion, you can see the towering Shouzhe Pass at a glance.
Between the Zhengshou Mansion and Shouzheguan, there is also an urn city.
In Wengcheng, there is a "Transaction Department", which is responsible for supervising transactions.
Rogue cultivators who have returned from exploring the outside world can collect cards and set up stalls here to sell the items they have gained from exploring the outside world.
Anyone who conducts transactions in Wengcheng only needs to pay half of the national tax and half of the family tax, and only needs to pay transaction tax and no customs duties.
If you trade outside the Wengcheng, you will have to pay a 20% transaction tax in accordance with Daqian law. When entering the customs, you will also need to pay a 10% "tariff" to the Changning Wang family as the Wang family opened this customs. award.
Because of this rule, unless it is a really valuable item, most casual cultivators will choose to sell it directly in the Wengcheng.
This barbican city has therefore become an extremely lively trade center and material distribution center. Countless casual cultivators come in and out every day, setting up stalls to sell goods, and countless heads of aristocratic families come here to purchase goods. supplies.
Even in the entire Xinan Town, there are few places more lively than here.
At noon.
The dazzling sun hung high in the zenith, exuding scorching heat. The shadow cast by Shouzhe Pass only covered a small area of Wengcheng, and most of the locations 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, the casual cultivators who set up the stalls rarely had time to take a breath, so they simply closed the stalls and gathered together in twos and threes to chat.
"Shouzheguan is really amazing." A casual cultivator with a square head and big ears wiped his stainless steel sword with an oil cloth and sighed, "I have been here for three years. Over the past ten years, I have witnessed four beast tides with my own eyes. Tsk, tsk, tsk, it was so easy to block them. If I hadn’t seen them with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed that the beast tides could have been blocked so easily."
"The beast tide itself is not big, right~" the casual cultivator next to him said indifferently, "I heard that it took a total of ten years from the beginning to the completion of this 'Shuzhe Pass'. It was built like this Quick, how strong can it be?"
"Hey~ Do you really think I've never seen a beast tide?" Big-Eared Cultivator rolled his eyes at him disdainfully, "In terms of scale, the last two beast tides had hundreds of ferocious beasts, so the scale But it’s not small at all. In the end, it didn’t even break through the city gate. It’s not strong yet, so how can it be considered strong?”
"Furthermore, the level of the ferocious beasts participating in these beast tides is not low. I have seen three or four level five ferocious beasts with my own eyes. If you want to put them elsewhere, these are all necessary. Something big happened."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but fall into memories.
"The most recent time, I stood on the top of the city and watched with my own eyes a fifth-level earth-shattering giant tiger roaring at the city gate. I was still holding the bow and arrow issued by Wang in my hand. They were all so frightened that they even forgot to hide."
"Then I saw a figure falling from the sky, and with just one sword strike, the fifth-level colorful tiger was frozen into an ice sculpture, and then cut into two pieces in the middle."
As he spoke, he danced and gestured, his whole person immersed in the excitement and shock at the time.
The casual cultivator next to him was a little unconvinced at first, but seeing how sincere he said it, he couldn't help but believe it.
On the other hand, someone among the other casual cultivators suddenly reacted: "Ice bloodline is rare, let alone the strength to freeze a fifth-level ferocious beast with one sword. Hiss! Is that what you saw? Is this the ancestor of the Wang family in Changning?"
"That one?"
"Who else could it be? Of course it's the ancestor of Longyan!" As soon as the gossip was mentioned, the casual cultivator immediately became energetic. "You don't know that this ancestor was seriously injured, and many people were injured." She said she wouldn't live for a few more years. Guess what? At that time, the Wang family gave birth to the head of the family, Shouzhe..."
As he spoke.
A young master appeared in the casual cultivator market with some guards.
The young master was extremely generous in his dealings. As long as he saw something good, he would buy it without any counter-offering, and then throw it into the bottomless storage ring.
This kind of look means that the money-spreading boy has arrived.
The casual cultivators stopped bragging and hurriedly took out all the good things from the bottom of the box. They rushed to the young master one after another and said as if they were offering treasures: "Young master, this fourth-level ferocious beast is The single horn of the Moon-watching rhinoceros is a treasure used to refine spiritual weapons or be used as medicine. It only sells for four, no, three thousand gold."
The casual cultivator wanted to shout out the high price, but after being glared at by the Lingtai Jing family general next to the young master, he immediately swallowed the false price and quoted a more honest and slightly higher price.
As soon as he finished speaking, the young master took the moon-watching rhinoceros horn and put it away, and then another boy followed to pay the bill.
In a short period of time, he has purchased supplies worth tens of thousands of gold. But he was still thinking in his mind that if Grandpa Seventh wanted to make elixirs, he must get more good elixir-making materials for him.
Grandpa's gift is here, but Grandpa's... well, I have a headache.
There are a lot of relatives in Longzuo County. How can his seventh son go to visit his relatives empty-handed? What's more, when did you go to visit relatives, you didn't go with a one-cent gift, but returned with a nine-cent gift?
Not far away, several fierce-looking Lingtai realm casual cultivators saw this scene. After looking at each other, they seemed to have made some determination.
"Young Master, this is the egg of the Yuanshui Spirit Crane, a sixth-level water-based spiritual bird that we risked our lives to retrieve from a lake outside the territory... If this thing is destined for you, I will charge you three hundred thousand gold."
Although this group of casual cultivators felt uneasy, they made up their mind to fly away as quickly as possible after finishing this task. They would never come to Xin'an Town again in this life.
"Yuan Shui Spirit Pattern? What a wonderful wave, containing infinite vitality." The young master stopped and said with great interest, "It is indeed somewhat similar to the Yuanshui Spirit Crane Egg. Isn't three hundred thousand too much? Is it cheaper?"
"The young master has a keen eye. As the saying goes, treasures are given to heroes. Only the young master is like this..." Several casual cultivators looked happy.
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the young master: "It's a pity that you are so uneducated that you have never seen real Yuanshui Linghe eggs. Yuanshui Linghe eggs usually weigh more than two kilograms. And This egg is round at both ends, weighing less than a pound... This is probably a large goose egg, right? Alas, casual cultivators these days don't even bother to fake it."
"This, this, this..." Several casual cultivators were sweating profusely. After being exposed, they hurriedly laughed, "Maybe we made a mistake, the young master really has a boundless discernment... Farewell, farewell~"
But he couldn't help but curse in his heart, who could see the Yuanshui Linghe Egg without any trouble? They just picked up such an unknown egg and pretended to be a Yuanshui Linghe egg.
"Wait a minute." The young master sighed, "Although the swindling attempt failed, the amount of money defrauded is so huge, this is not a small crime."
"Let's do this. Qingluo Sea Storm Bay is short of people, so I'll fine you three years. Wang Xing, please make arrangements and give them some flying chariot tickets for free."
Are you kidding me? The casual cultivators looked at each other, dropped the "large goose eggs", then stood up and fled. But before they had flown far, an aura from a cultivator in the heavenly realm burst out: "You little **** are blind, and the seventh young master gave you chariot tickets to give you face."
It is natural that those few powerful Lingtai realm casual cultivators were captured, and then according to the instructions of the young master, they will definitely be sent to Storm Bay.
The other casual cultivators all looked at each other in horror.
What is the origin of this young master? He even carries a Celestial Realm bodyguard with him...
Isn’t this bullying?
Next, Wang Anye bought a lot of gifts at a very suitable price, with a total value of no less than a hundred thousand gold.
Half an hour later.
On the chariot going to Baidaowei, Wang Anye leaned against the window, watching the clouds rolling in, his face expressionless and bored. This kind of carefree life, where you can see the end at a glance, is really boring.
I can only do something to punish evil and promote good, to change the boring life.
That’s all!
Bake the big goose egg just now and eat it to relieve your 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 water spirit pattern on the goose egg suddenly bloomed, almost blinding Wang Anye's face. Eye.
"Wait! Is this the Yuanshuidao pattern?" Wang Anye touched his chin and thought carefully, "The eggs are mottled in color, rounded with ink spots at both ends, weighs about a pound, and is born with the Yuanshuidao pattern. Could it be... this?"
"Seventh-level spiritual bird, the egg of Yuanshui Tianque?"
"Congratulations, young master, congratulations, young master." The boys and guards on the side all congratulated. Even the Celestial Realm guard sitting in the corner looked at him sideways. The fate of this seventh young master must be too good, right?
"Grandma Li Yao happens to be of the Yuan Shui bloodline. Let's drop by the academy and let her hatch and keep her as a pet." Wang Anye pondered for a while and then decided its fate.
Wang Xing, the personal servant, asked weakly: "Young master, those casual cultivators and fraudsters? Are you still planning to go to Qingluo Sea Storm Bay?"
"Well, my great-great-grandfather said that they call it an attempted crime that was not terminated on their own initiative. They were slapped, and it does not affect their charges."
The young boy Wang Xing suddenly felt that those few Lingtai Realm casual cultivators were unjustly accused. Not only did they catch a treasure, but they were also stupid and bold enough to defraud the seventh young master... They had no idea how weird the seventh young master was. !
