Dashi County, Liaodong

Royal Manor
homeowner's study
Evening
"Cough cough~"

"General?"

Many oil lamps were lit in the house, and Wang Tairan, who was dealing with family affairs, coughed up a few mouthfuls of bloody sputum, and then stroked his hot forehead tremblingly. He was only in his 50s, but he was in the same state as those old people in their 70s and [-]s, every day. Fatigue, even more diligent than the emperor who loves the people, handling family affairs every day consumes a lot of his health.

"Cough-cough-"

With another mouthful of blood, Wang Tairan still couldn't help but open the golden finger to check the latest achievements.

[Achievement 4: Gatekeeper

Effect: The children of the family are brave +1, command +1]

"Is it because Changzhi served as a chariot general?"

Wang Tairan thought so in his heart, and then put away the golden finger achievement function.

Compared with those achievements of awakening talents, the achievements of superimposing attributes in this way are not so obvious, but they are more practical, and after hundreds of years, the superposition of many, naturally it will be terrifying.

"Go to rest early, you are coughing up blood again, alas." Xu Caiwei personally brought a cup of hot tea, and wiped the blood on the table with a cloth.

"The Wang family needs me. I haven't reached the time to rest yet." Wang Tairan is very responsible. Although he has always wanted to retire, he will take every day seriously until he finds a suitable successor.

Originally, when he heard that Wang Changzhi resigned, he wanted to pass on the position of Patriarch to Wang Changzhi.

But Wang Changzhi was appointed by the emperor as the prefect of Liaodong. He was busy with county affairs and had no time to deal with family affairs.

Therefore, he had no choice but to continue to manage the entire family with his weak body.

"Last time you said that you would take me to the mountains to reclaim some wasteland and enjoy the last days of my life." Xu Caiwei complained.

Although she is a young lady who loves beauty and doesn't know how to sympathize with the lower class, she and Wang Tairan were only married in a family at first, and had no relationship at all, and even worried that Wang Tairan would be as vicious and lustful as Wang Taihao.

But after these decades of getting along, she has also completely fallen in love with the man in front of her. She is now in her 40s and has given birth to two sons and a daughter for Wang Tairan.

Among them, the eldest son Wang Changsheng became the magistrate of Dashi County, and the only daughter Wang Feifei married the largest powerful Guo family in Pingguo County, Liaodong County, and became the official wife of the eldest grandson of the head of the Guo family. married.

At the same time, her eldest son, Wang Changsheng, also married a granddaughter of the head of the Guo family as his legitimate wife.

Her second son, Wang Changtu, also married a concubine daughter of the head of the most powerful Lu family in Xi'anping County, Liaodong County, as his legal wife, which can be regarded as a half-marriage relationship.

In the entire royal family, most of the four generations of elders married or married other powerful noble families in Liaodong. As for ordinary people, they definitely cannot marry royal women. Occasionally, there are a few who are very handsome. Yes, maybe there is a chance to become the male favourite of a lustful woman from the royal family, but that's all, the title is impossible to give.

As for the women of ordinary people's families, there are only some extremely beautiful girls, because their charm attributes are generally not low, so they can marry into the Wang family. The positions are reserved for women from other powerful families.

Women from other powerful gentry families, no matter how ugly they are, can become the main wives of the royal family's children for marriage.

Women from ordinary commoner families simply use their beauty to improve the charm attributes of the descendants of the royal family, so making them concubines is already a high opinion of them.

However, rumors that women from the Wang family can accept male favorites at will gradually spread throughout Liaodong, so many powerful families feel a little disgusted to marry a woman from the Wang family, feeling unclean.

But they were all greedy for the greatness of the Wang family. Even though they knew that the women of the Wang family were lustful and unclean, they resented them while trying to find a way to marry them. They scolded the Wang family for being shameless, but their bodies were still very honest.

After all, it is a marriage, and the strength of the family is the key. Other things such as beauty, chastity, and culture are just bonus points, and the strength of the family is the deciding factor.

If the family strength is not good, even if she is as beautiful as a fairy, more clean and chaste than anyone else, and has read the four books and five classics, she is just a concubine of a young master's family and cannot be a regular wife.

For a family as powerful as the Wang family, even other powerful noble families in Liaodong knew that the women of the Wang family were lustful and shameless, so wouldn't they just kneel down and beg for marriage?

Thinking that most of the family's children are married, Wang Tairan also showed a smile.

During the ancestor Kang's period, the Wang family had only two goals, one was to expand into the habitat of the people in the mountains and forests, and the other was to do business with the Central Plains tycoons to make money.

During the period of the first king, Taihao, the only gain of the Wang family was the looting of a large amount of wealth and population from the Central Plains, which made the Wang family's strength surge in a short period of time.

In these two periods, the Wang family was called Haoqiang, but in essence it was still a den of bandits. It was just a den of bandits who were powerful and would actively learn cultural knowledge. The so-called personal soldiers were just heavy armored bandits raised by the Wang family. elite.

It wasn't until after he came to power that he gradually reversed the development direction of the royal family. First, he learned the sharecropper system in the Central Plains and liberated tens of thousands of serfs. Later, he used the method of boiling frogs in warm water to completely conquer the people in the mountains and forests in decades. , At the same time, by means of money, the family children were sent to the officialdom and the army, making the royal family gradually transform into a real powerful noble family, and even married with other powerful noble families. At the same time, they also expanded a large number of colonies overseas, for The Wang family prepared many retreats.

These changes cannot be achieved overnight, and Wang Tairan doesn't think there is anything wrong with the way the ancestor Kang and the ancestor Taihao ruled.

If ancestor Kang hadn't conquered the aborigines with bandits fleeing from the Central Plains, where would Luoyueyuan and Wang's Manor come from?

How could the Wang family have the power it has today without Taihao who plundered a large number of people and wealth from the Central Plains?

Although the development methods are different, they are all the best choices for the Wang family in their respective periods.

"I'm going outside for a walk."

Thinking about this, Wang Tairan wanted to go out to get some fresh air, and stayed in the study all the time, really bored.

"grandfather!"

Outside the study room, the second son, Wang Changtu, and the daughter of a concubine from the Lu family, that is, his granddaughter, were holding his hand.

"Xuan'er, how was your study today?" Wang Tairan hugged his granddaughter, loving her very much.

"Teacher Song praised me today, hee hee~" The little girl giggled while chewing her fingers. Her name is Wang Ruxuan. She is only five years old this year, but she has already started to study the Four Books and Five Classics from Ms. Song Qianru from the Wang Family Academy.

Ms. Song Qianru is just 50 years old now, with many gray hairs and wrinkles. She thinks back that when she was snatched from the Central Plains by the ancestor Taihao, she was only a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old.

It's just... time has changed.

"Grandpa is going out for a drive. Come back later to check your homework to see if you have studied hard."

Wang Tairan pinched the little girl's face, then put it down and gave it to Xu Caiwei to take care of, and then asked the servant to bring a steed horse, and rode the steed to gallop outside the manor.
