My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

"What? This Chang Yuan actually took down Daizhou City and Yunzhou City without anyone noticing? Doesn't his power connect the entire north and west, and the only ones who can compete with him are the White Lotus Sect? Hongyuan City, no, no, if Chang Yuan uses his mysterious palm thunder, Hongyuan City may not be able to resist it."

Outsiders call gunpowder "palm thunder" because it makes a thunderous sound when used, which is similar to thunder from the sky.

"You loser, I asked you to establish contact with Chang Yuan before. How did you do it? You came back like this?"

Zheng Zhengguang was the man who had gone to Taixi County earlier to provide talents to Chang Yuan. At this time, he was scolded and could only lower his eyebrows and lower his hands without daring to refute.

The person in front of him is the head of the Zheng family. He has no official position, but his son serves as minister in Nanchen and is now under the control of the third prince.

He was able to become the head of the Zheng family not because his son became the minister. It was because he had firmly established himself as the head of the family that his son could take the position of the minister.

Although the head of the Zheng family had no official position or position, even Nan Chen in his heyday did not dare to look down on them.

"Brother -" Zheng Zhongguang was interrupted by the other party before he could finish his words, "What big brother! Do you still recognize me as your eldest brother? You can't even do a small thing if I ask you to do it!"

Zheng Zhengguang said aggrievedly: "Brother, it's really not that I don't want to. I know your plan and want to make multiple bets, but we really go with sincerity and spend a lot of money for this, but then Chang Yuan is a man of little skill. Although he didn't explicitly say that he didn't want to cooperate with us, every time we went to see him, he turned us away, or else he said he was busy with something, and he would see us anyway. I tried it once, but I couldn't find it no matter how hard I looked for it, we can't force it, right?" It's still on someone else's territory.

"He has a counselor named Ning Changrong next to him. He is somewhat capable, but he is also greedy. He took a lot of money from us, but nothing was done!" Zheng Zhengguang felt resentful when he thought of the 2000 taels of silver he had stuffed away. Teeth itchy.

It's not that he feels bad about the money, 2000 taels is nothing to them. What he hates is that the other party takes the money but does nothing, and has no morals at all!

When this group of people stayed in the county, they often caused trouble for Ning Changrong. They thought that was their original territory, and everyone had to give them some face. They often provoked the government officials, and Ning Changrong took care of it later.

Take some money from them and treat it as your own mental damage fee.

Of course, the money was collected. Chang Yuan also took the initiative to tell Chang Yuan that if Chang Yuan wanted the money, he would just send the money over. Chang Yuan asked him to keep it by himself, so he took it without any courtesy. .

"I remember, I asked you to take 5 taels of silver before leaving, but you only used 2000 taels of silver? Why did you say that it was all used when you came back?" The head of the family suddenly grasped the point and looked at Zheng Zhongguang fiercely.

Zheng Zhengguang's face was dull, and he realized that he was sweating profusely after he spilled the beans, "Brother, I, our journey has not been peaceful, and I spent a lot of money to buy peace..."

The head of the Zheng family looked at him with a sneer, "Buy Ping An? It seems that you really don't take the Zheng family and me, the head of the family, seriously. How dare you even be greedy for this money?!" The head of the Zheng family stood up and slapped the table. , there were so many guards sent, not to mention how could anyone dare to rob their Zheng family?
"Do you know what the situation is now?! Do you still think Nan Chen can recover? By relying on that cruel third prince? Or by relying on those two useless princes?! The world has changed!"

Zheng Zhengguang was so frightened by the words of the Zheng family leader that he couldn't help but tremble and step back.

The head of the Zheng family pressed forward step by step, looking straight at the other party, "What does the Zheng family rely on for thousands of years of inheritance? It relies on multiple bets, and it relies on forming good relationships! Now it's time to bet again, How dare you, a loser, be greedy for such money?! Do you lack the fifty thousand?! Ah!"

The other party's last scolding made Zheng Zhongguang unable to help but kneel on the ground with a plop.

"I'm sorry, brother, I'm sorry." Zheng Zhengguang said fearfully.

Patriarch Zheng took a deep breath and sat back on the stool. He looked helplessly at the man who was kneeling in front of him and apologizing. "Fourth, fourth," Patriarch Zheng sighed, "go get the family law."

Zheng Zhengguang's pupils shrank sharply, and he kept kowtowing, "Brother, I was wrong, don't let me take over the family law, brother, I was wrong, please spare me, please spare me this time, big brother!"

The head of the Zheng family waved his hand, and people from both sides immediately came to pull Zheng Zhongguang out.

Zheng Zhengguang's voice begging for mercy could be heard in the distance.

"Brother! Big brother! I know I'm wrong! Brother -" The Zheng family's family law is to receive the cane punishment in the ancestral hall. Zheng Zhengguang has been pampered for most of his life. If he was allowed to accept the cane punishment, he would have to lie down for at least a year and a half.

If you are unlucky, you may die.

Zheng Zhengguang is the biological brother of the head of the Zheng family. If it were other matters, he could have spared him. But now it was an issue related to the continuation of the main family. Even if he was willing to be lenient, he could not get around the clan elder. He could only be cruel. Be determined.

……

The messengers galloped quickly through the city on horseback. Passers-by heard the sound and hurriedly retreated to both sides of the road.

"Did something happen again?"

"I don't know. Is there another war somewhere?"

"We are not afraid of fighting. How has our General Chang failed to win? We still have palm thunder!"

"I don't know if there will be another conscription. It would be great if there is a conscription. I will send my boy there. The treatment of being a soldier is good. He has food and drink and money to take home. If he has made a contribution, he will have a field. Even if General Chang dies, he will not care."

"Isn't that right? Even if they have physical disabilities and cannot fight with a knife, General Chang will arrange the rest of their lives."

"The new village chief in our village is a retired veteran. Even though he is just a village chief, if anything happens, he can just go see General Chang with his discharge certificate."

"The mayor of your village is also a veteran? The same is true of our village. He just took office a few days ago. At first, he was a small official from the county government and wandered around our village for a long time, questioning each house for information."

"Not to mention that these people's lives are really good. They have made meritorious service in the war, and they are still taken care of after they retire. I heard that if they do a good job as village chiefs, they can continue to rise."

"Is it true that a big-headed soldier can also be an official?"

"I don't know either. It was the brother-in-law of my sister's sister-in-law's friend who said that that person works in a department store in our county. There may be a lot of people there, so I can hear some news."

"General Chang is a benevolent person, so this matter is probably close to ten."

……

Chang Yuan was looking at the map in his study, watching his territory expand step by step. Hearing the sound of galloping footsteps outside, he looked up and saw a messenger hurriedly ran to him.

"General! Send a message from the north!"

The messenger respectfully took out the secret letter from his chest and presented it with both hands.

Chang Yuan took two quick steps, walked to the other party, took the letter and opened it.

"Hongyuan City colluded with the Northern Poor..."

He waved his hand and asked people to go down. After watching for a while, Chang Yuan's brows became more and more furrowed.
