Chapter 239 Wuhuan Great Famine ([-])

one year later
In the first three years
Royal Manor
"Rui'er...I won't let you die in vain, I will let all the poisonous people be buried with you!"

The 65-year-old Wang Bian looks like a goddess of immortality. Although there are a few strands of white hair growing on her temples, she still looks very young. From a distance, she seems to be a woman in her twenties.

After the expedition team returned, they informed Wang Rui that Wang Rui had been murdered by a poisoned person. This made Wang Bian feel extremely sad. At this moment, she seemed to be like Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty whose prince died more than 100 years ago. .

She has no heirs, Wang Rui was brought up by her since she was a child, she treats him as her own grandson, and plans to let him inherit the family business, now...

"They first tempted the young master with various benefits, and then saw that the young master was unmoved, so they directly tortured and interrogated him." The female sailor Mei Chaofeng described her experience of being poisoned.

Mei Chaofeng and others did not leave directly after escaping, but rested in Lion Island (Sri Lanka) for more than a month. They left Sri Lanka after hearing the definite news of the death of the young master Wang Rui, and finally returned to Taohuagang.

In order to avenge Wang Rui, Wang Bian specially convened a family meeting to discuss the plan to expand the army and conquer poison.

Use the strength of the entire family to go on an expedition to the Poisonous Great Zhou!

She believes that with the current strength of the Wang family, it is not completely hopeless, at least to build a pirate island on the nearby island of Shendu, and plunder Shendu at all times as revenge!
The current situation of the royal family is as follows:

[children: 478
Personal soldiers: 115 (can only be served by family members) (ratio to the population of the common people is 1:10000)

Security Soldiers: 2300 (1:500 to civilians)

Common people: 1153597 (only overseas, not Liaodong area)]

clang--

clang--

clang--

The big bronze bell covered with cobwebs was rang, and the long sound spread to every corner of the manor.

This is the second time that Wang Bian has held a family meeting since he became the head of the family. The last time it was held when he first came to the throne.

Except for those who couldn't leave their posts, most of them were present. There were 260 participants in total, most of them were women, and there were only more than 70 men.

This is the new Wang's manor, and compared with the previous Wang's manor, the new Wang's manor not only has a meeting hall, but also a parliamentary palace.

The meeting hall is the place where Jiacheng, Jiashangshu and family ministers discuss family affairs. It is held basically once a year and hosted by Jiacheng.

The parliamentary mansion is a product of the previous patriarch Wang Yan's period. When the patriarch encountered urgent matters and needed to convene all family members to discuss, he would gather in the parliamentary mansion for discussion. held by the House of Assembly.

"I am against the expedition to get poisoned, this plan is too crazy!"

As soon as the meeting started, Wang Dan, the magistrate of Seoul, expressed his opposition.

This Wang Dan is the No. 12th generation descendant of the family. She is now 30 years old and a charming woman.

"Yes, we also learned about the situation over there from the sailors. It's too far away, and there's malaria. What if we forcibly conscript [-] troops? When we get to the poisonous place, the only ones who are still alive may be left. Hundreds of people have been sent down, such a small number of people will have no effect on the body poison, and will seriously damage the vitality of my Wang family."

"Patriarch, please don't act impulsively. If the young master dies, there will always be a chance for revenge in the future, but we must not carry out this expedition plan."

Most of the other family members also refused, and even Wang Rui's own sister stood up to persuade Wang Bian not to be dazzled by hatred.

Afterwards, everyone voted, except for Wang Bian himself, all the children of the family voted against the plan of Yuanzheng's poisoning.

"Rail..."

Under the persuasion of everyone, Wang Bian gradually gave up the crazy plan of the expedition to get poisoned.

The Wang family is the Wang family of all the Wang families, not the Wang family of the head of the family alone, and she, Wang Yan, can't just go her own way.

In the entire Wang family, only the ancestor Wang Kang was able to say a word, no matter who refuted what he said, it was useless.

The authority of successive generations of patriarchs has been lower than that of each generation.

From Wang Taihao, the second-generation patriarch, the authority of the patriarch has continued to decline, but the authority of the family council has continued to rise. By the time of her generation, Wang Bian, the authority of the patriarch had declined even more, and a large number of family children held great power overseas. The right to speak is very large.

"Patriarch, please mourn and obey the change." A group of family children persuaded Wang Jian one after another.

"Then let's start the second topic..." The plan of the expedition to get poisoned was rejected by the family council. Wang Yan had to temporarily put aside the endless resentment in her heart, and started to deal with family affairs, so she said to everyone: "According to the latest exploration According to the nautical chart, there is a large island suitable for grazing in the north of Queqiao Island (Honshu Island, Japan), and the nearby Longmen Islands are also suitable for building fishing grounds. There is also a large open-air gold mine on an island to the west of Queqiao Island. I want to skip the development of Queqiao Island and directly develop Niulang Island, which is farther away, let’s talk about it.”

"Weaving Girl Island is a bit far from Niulang Island, and it is very difficult to transport immigrants." said the mayor of Shao Siming Town on Zhinu Island.

"Using that gold mine island as a transit point, first develop the gold mine island, and then use the gold mine island as a springboard to enter Cowherd Island."

"The Gold Mine Island is too small to accommodate many immigrants. The method you mentioned will not work."

"There is always a plain on the west coast of Queqiao Island, right?"

"Yes, on the west coast of Magpie Bridge Island, there are four small coastal plains (Shimane, Ishikawa, Niigata, Akita), and there are also a large number of whales in the Whale Sea (Japan Sea)."

"Using these four plains plus the gold mine island as a transit point, we will reach Niulang Island all the way to the north, where we can graze countless cattle and sheep. That is the grazing place our ancestor Wang Hongyin has always wanted to find."

"It's time to put the cattle, sheep and ordinary horses from Penglai Island to Niulang Island, and make Penglai Island special for breeding sweaty horses."

"Penglai Island has experienced barren grassland in recent years, because there are too many livestock grazing sheep and the grassland area is too small."

"It is also necessary to build a large warehouse to store sea salt on the east side of Niulang Island, so that the caught sea fish can be marinated on the spot to prevent the fish from rotting."

"But Niulang Island is bigger than Penglai. Even if we put all the livestock from Penglai Island to Niulang Island, it will not be enough."

"And recently we have opened up several towns on Zhinu Island in succession, immigrating a large number of pioneers, and the tens of thousands of cattle looted from Wuhuan decades ago have long been distributed. The newly opened [Xiangjun Town] and There is a shortage of cattle in [Xiangfuren Town], and many land reclamators have no cattle, so they can only share the same cattle with three or four people, so the efficiency of land reclamation is really too low.”

"Don't we buy livestock from Wuhuan every year? Why are there not enough?"

"How much is that? Besides, the Wuhuan people have learned to be smart now. They sell less cattle and more sheep."

All the children of the family expressed their thoughts one after another, and the entire parliament was noisy, as if it had become a busy city.

Snapped!
Jia Shangshu whipped his long whip to the ground, and shouted at the children of the family: "Quiet!"

This whip is called the static whip, and it is specially used to remind everyone to be quiet.

The children of the family gradually stopped talking, and then looked at the head of the family, Wang Jian.

Wang Bian gradually recovered from the grief of losing Wang Rui, and slowly said to the crowd: "Since we are short of cattle again, it's time to sweep the Wuhuan people for the third time."
