……
To the west of Changning Acropolis, at the angle of a delta near the intersection of Jinsha River and Anjiang River, is called Ningxi Town.
The terrain of Ningxi Town is mostly gentle, with large and small rivers crisscrossing the territory. The soil is fertile and the fish and rice are abundant. It is one of the important granaries of Changning Wei.
There have been two aristocratic families sitting in this town for generations, one is the Ningxi Dang family, and the other is the Ningxi Liang family.
The Ningxi Dang family is a dignified eighth-grade family and occupies most of the high-quality land resources in Ningxi Town. The Liang family in Ningxi is a small ninth-grade family. They have been living cautiously for many years. They have to deal with the "beast" of the Dang family for a long time, and they always want to develop and grow to get out of trouble.
Eighteen or nineteen years ago.
The Liang family in Ningxi once mistakenly participated in the action between the Wang family and the Liu family. As a result, they were severely chopped by the Wang family, and a lot of resources accumulated by their ancestors were consumed.
It stands to reason.
Suffering from this trauma, the Liang family in Ningxi is very likely to be unable to recover, gradually unable to withstand the overt or covert embezzlement of the Dang family, and eventually lost in the "long river of history."
But now, instead of declining, Liang's life is becoming more and more prosperous. In just eighteen or nineteen years, a second ancestor of the Lingtai realm was cultivated, forming a two-lingtai structure, which had the potential to compete with the powerful Ningxi Dang clan.
The biggest project that caused such a magical situation was Liang Haofeng, the ancestor of the Liang family. Although I suffered a big loss at the hands of the Wang family back then, I also saw the strength of the Wang family and the momentum for future development.
While actively making compensation, relying on his past relationship with Lu Mingsheng, he tried every means to build a relationship with the Wang family to mend the rift. Over time, he gradually gained some of Wang's trust.
Some core farms were granted the right to grow and produce grains such as Wang's No. 7. While Wang sent people to supervise, he also gave a good price to purchase these grains in a unified manner.
By helping Wang's "part-time job", Ningxi Liang's "family income" has been rising steadily. With money, they also followed Wang's example in expanding family property, mainly through purchasing and expansion and meticulous land reclamation.
The so-called precision land reclamation is the practice of transforming some land that originally cost huge investment in land reclamation into fertile farmland after transforming the topography and landforms.
For example, some rocky slopes, swamps and depressions are usually not cost-effective to open up wasteland due to the huge investment. But as the income per mu increases, those things that were not cost-effective gradually become cost-effective.
With the careful development within the jurisdiction, a small, deeply buried copper vein was unexpectedly discovered through some luck. In this way, Liang's development will reach another level.
This day.
Several carriages left Liang's main residence and headed east.
The last two carriages were filled with some fresh melons and fruits produced in the spiritual fields, pickled spiritual fish caught in Anjiang and Jinsha rivers, and white jade spiritual rice wine produced and brewed in the family farm, hundreds of Bolts of high-quality cloth and thousands of catties of refined copper ingots.
The total value of all the various materials is probably tens of thousands of gold.
In the first carriage, there were two men, an old man and a young man, as well as a young girl who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old.
The old man has a gaunt appearance and a pair of introverted eyes. He sits on the carriage as still as a mountain.
The young man was about seventeen or eighteen years old. He wore a jade crown on his head, a brocade robe, a mutton-fat jade brocade belt around his waist, and black sword boots. He also held an exquisitely crafted sword in his hand. The outer layer of the sheath is made of python leather, inlaid with green jewels.
This young man has a handsome face and a handsome face. He is really a handsome and proud man with extraordinary appearance.
As for the cardamom girl, her eyes were clean and clear, and her skin was so white and tender that it looked like water would flow out of her if she pinched it. She was blinking her big watery eyes and asked curiously: "Ancestor, I have been bored all the way. Please tell me the story of the ancestor of Wang's Longyan."
"Sister, you have listened to the story of Patriarch Longyan so many times that your ears are almost calloused." The handsome young man said with a smile, "In my opinion, the reason why the Wang family of Heavenly Man can develop so fast , all thanks to the merits of the head of the family, senior Wang Shouzhe. Senior Shouzhe is creative and unconstrained, and also has foresight and meticulous layout. He is really a model for my younger generation to learn from."
"Brother, I know that you admire Senior Shouzhe because he also had a low-grade first-class qualification and passed the preliminary examination for admission to Zifu Academy. Last time someone praised you for being like Shouzhe. , you will remember it in your heart." The cardamom girl pouted and said, "In my opinion, the reason why the Heavenly Man Wang family is in this situation is because of the strange woman Longyan Ancestor who held up the sky."
The handsome young man did not give in, and the two of them began to argue about their idols.
Seeing the two juniors arguing, the old man glanced majestically: "Hongxuan, Mu Qing, don't argue anymore. The Heavenly Man Wang family can start from a small ninth-grade family and rise to fame in one fell swoop. In the Heavenly Family of the Six Guards in the South of Longzuo, Patriarch Longyan and Patriarch Shouzhe are indispensable to each other. Let’s just discuss the past of the two seniors in a small carriage."
"Once you are outside, especially after arriving in Ping'an Town, don't speak casually, or you may cause trouble."
"Yes, Ancestor Haofeng, we should be careful in our words and deeds." The two juniors both respectfully and obediently shut their mouths. After all, they are the legitimate sons and daughters of the Liang family, and they have received very strict education since childhood.
The three people in this group are the ancestor of the Liang family, Haofeng, and the current eldest son, Liang Hongxuan, and the second daughter, Liang Muqing. I had prepared enough supplies for this trip, naturally in order to rush to Ping'an Town as scheduled to participate in the promotion feast of the Heavenly Man Wang Longyan.
This "Wang Family Banquet" is a good time for Liang Family to curry favor with Wang Family. I brought my eldest son with me to see the world. But it was Liang's little idea to bring his second daughter with him, to see if there was any chance of taking his "relationship" further with Wang.
Liang's motorcade went around the south side of Changning Acropolis and went east along Anjiang to Guandu, Changning.
Today's Guandu in Changning has changed a lot compared to more than ten years ago. The original ferry has been demolished and rebuilt, and the area has been expanded several times. The building materials used are strong and durable cement mortar and a new type of building material called hollow bricks.
Hollow bricks are large bricks that are fired and molded at one time. The construction speed is fast, and there is a lot of cement in them, so the structure is strong and the sound insulation effect is very good.
This hollow brick and new frame structure construction method was pioneered by the Tianren Wang family. It is said that there are already many new structure buildings in Ping'an Town.
However, it is still relatively rare north of Anjiang.
"It is said that the Wang family of Heavenly Man could not stand the inefficiency of Guandu in Changning a few years ago." Liang Haofeng got off the carriage with his juniors and visited the new ferry. "Therefore, the Shouzhe family and the city guard were involved in several negotiations. Later, they finally spent a lot of money to capture Changning Ferry and expanded it massively. Tsk, tsk, being able to capture Guandu shows how powerful the Shouzhe family master is."
"These floors are made of flat cement." Liang Hongxuan also praised it, "In this way, even if it rains, it will not be muddy and it will be very clean when you step on it."

When the Liang family and others were talking.
Suddenly, a rich old man's voice not far away sounded: "Isn't this the ancestor of the Liang family, Haofeng? You came to participate in the Wang family's feast of heaven and man more than ten days in advance?"
Liang Haofeng looked back and saw that he was indeed an old acquaintance. He immediately laughed and said, "Isn't this the Yunfei ancestor of the Sun family in Xing'an? Are you going to participate in the feast of heaven and man in advance?"
He glanced at Sun Yunfei and saw that he was leading a few young tribesmen, followed by several carriages. When he came to Changning Ferry, he was naturally going to participate in the feast of heaven and man.
Xing'an Town is located between Shanyang and Donggang. Due to its low-lying terrain and many lakes and few fertile fields, Xing'an Town has not developed very well. Even so, there are still three ninth-grade aristocratic families crowded in that poor place.
Sun Yunfei smiled heartily and said: "Thanks to the care of the Tianren Wang Family Alliance, we have vigorously promoted reed planting technology in our Xing'an area, allowing our three poor families in Xing'an to live a good life."
"Can you make money by planting reeds?" Liang Haofeng was slightly surprised, "Reed catkins cannot keep you warm, and the roots are tasteless when eaten..."
"Ordinary varieties will not work. It's just a high-yielding reed species brought by Donggang Chen from overseas. They have developed root systems and are more suitable for swampy areas. They grow very quickly. Only a small amount of manpower and material resources are invested to utilize all the swampy areas. Get up." Sun Yunfei was excited but also said with a helpless face, "It's just that the swamps and tidal flats that no one cared about before have now become popular, and our poor families have accumulated more grudges over the years."
"I came here earlier this time because I wanted to discuss with the head of the Shouzhe family whether I could mediate..."
Liang Haofeng glanced at their carriage filled with gifts and the two beautiful girls among the younger generation, and sneered secretly in his heart. Why did you come to the head of the Shouzhe family to discuss it in advance? You clearly came in advance to curry favor with the Wang family. . So I can use Wang's name to suppress your two old rivals.
However, seeing through does not tell the truth.
Firstly, Liang Haofeng and Sun Yunfei have no grievances. Secondly, Liang Haofeng came here in advance to curry favor with the Wang family and let the juniors get closer to the Wang family's juniors.
Two old guys who have lived for more than a hundred years, while each has a clear conscience, chatting with each other like old friends reunited after a long separation. The juniors on both sides also greeted each other and were familiar with each other.
We all belong to the lower-class families of Changningwei, so it would be a good thing to get to know each other more.
"Old friend Haofeng, I heard that your little friend Hongxuan passed the preliminary entrance examination for the academy this time?" Sun Yunfei looked at Liang Hongxuan with some envy, "This boy has good looks. If he has a chance to enter the purple If you go to Fuxue Palace, you won’t be able to escape even the Lingtai realm in the future. By then, your Ningxi Liang family will be an eighth-grade family with three Lingtai realms.”
"Haha, I just passed the preliminary test. Whether I can pass the final test when I go to the academy remains to be seen." Liang Haofeng said modestly, but the pride and pride in his eyes could not be concealed. Of course, those who get in through the re-examination will basically be ordinary students in the academy in the future. Most of them are the kind of people who watch the seniors and brothers from the academy fighting in the ring, and then cheering crazily below, with faces full of admiration.
But even so, for the ninth-grade family, this kind of opportunity is rare even in hundreds of years. The probability is much higher for an eighth-grade family, let alone a seventh-grade family. If they are willing, each generation can recruit one person to become an ordinary disciple.
At this time, because of his outstanding appearance and the fact that he had passed the preliminary examination of the Academy, Liang Hongxuan had become a minor leader among the young people after interacting with each other. He was quite arrogant in his chatting and laughing.
At this time.
The large ferry has arrived, and people are getting on board in an orderly manner. There are also corresponding places for the carriage to stop. Now that the ferry has been expanded, the throughput on both sides has become greater. There are ferries coming and going in less than half an hour, but now it only carries half of its capacity.
Just after the two small families of Liang Haofeng got on the boat, suddenly, another huge motorcade appeared outside the ferry. One of the middle-aged knights rode up to the ferry and shouted in front of the ferry: "Wait a moment for the ferry. I am Gongsun Qiang. We, Gongsun of Shanyang, are going to get on the boat."
The steward in charge of this large ferry was excited and hurriedly replied: "I obey the order of Patriarch Qiang." These ferries are now managed by the Wang family.
But Shanyang Gongsun Qiang was not an ordinary person. Even the head of the Shouzhe family had to politely call him uncle when he met him.
The other ferry passengers naturally had no objections. Today, the Gongsun family of Shanyang is already an eighth-grade family, and is the mother family of the head of the Shouzhe family. Its status is extraordinary.
Carriages drove into the ferry one after another.
Because people and vehicles must be separated when boarding the boat, everyone in the Gongsun family got off the carriage and walked onto the boat according to the rules.
"That's the ancestor of the Gongsun family." Liang Haofeng narrowed his eyes and said, "I haven't seen it in eighteen years. Gongsun's strength has reached such an unfathomable level? I can't see through it at all. I'm afraid it's already the fifth or sixth level of the Lingtai realm."
"Ancestor Jie is only about a hundred years old now." Sun Yunfei also said with envy, "At such an age and with such cultivation, plus the Gongsun family's wealth now, Ancestor Jie has hope for the heavenly realm."
When the two were about to step forward to greet them.
Suddenly, an old lady was helped out of a carriage by two middle-aged women. Her hair is already gray, but she looks like a graceful and luxurious grandmother from a wealthy family surrounded by people.
She raised her eyes and looked at Changning Guandu and the surging water of the Anjiang River. She burst into tears for a while: "I remember that the last time I went back to my parents' home, it was the day Shouzhe got married. It's been eighteen or nineteen years now. I didn't expect that I I can still live to see Aunt Longyan promoted to the Heavenly Realm. I’m afraid this is the last time I return to my parents’ home.”
"Third Grandma." Gongsun Yan, the current head of the Gongsun clan, was now a mature man in his thirties. He personally helped the old lady walk to the boat and said with a smile, "You are only eighty this year. You are two years old and your body is still strong. Not only did cousin Shouzhe ask for some immortality pills from the academy last time, but he also personally delivered one to you."
"You have a lot of things to do when you return to your parents' home in the future. Zong An's nephew will get married in a few years. Your boss will have to come back in person, right? Besides, cousin Shouzhe said that you should wait until he ascends to heaven. ."
When Wang Shouzhe was mentioned, the old lady smiled happily: "Shouzhe is a good kid, but he doesn't know how to save money. Brother Xiaohui, Brother Xiaozhi, I are all so old..."
Another woman who was somewhat elderly but well-maintained also supported the old lady and said: "That's Shouzhe's filial piety. He said that you are the only fifth generation of the Wang family. He You can do your best as much as you can. Shouzhe, that kid, usually sends people to give me all kinds of beauty products."
Seeing this, Liang Haofeng on the side knew who these two women were after just a little thought.
One is Wang Zhenrong, the fifth generation of the Wang family, who is Zhenzi, and the other is Wang Liuyu, who is Liuzi. Although those who married back then were all direct descendants of the Gongsun family, as the Wang family became more and more powerful today, their status within the Gongsun family also increased.
After all, Liang Haofeng now relies on the Wang family for survival. How can he not study the Wang family genealogy? He immediately greeted him with a smile: "Haofeng has met all the Gongsun family members."
If you should flatter, you still have to flatter him, and leave a good impression on the head of the Shouzhe family later. After all, the head of the Shouzhe family seems to be the kind of person who attaches great importance to the elders in the family.
While talking.
Suddenly!
A man on the river is flying across the river. Every time he falls, he will float a little on the river, just like a big roc spreading its wings and soaring over. In the surging river, his seemingly small body looked so majestic.
"That's Ancestor Xiaohan..." Gongsun Qiang said with sharp eyes.
"Why did you alert Brother Xiaohan to come and pick him up?" Wang Zhenrong was both happy and sad at the same time.
