Optimus One Pillar of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 225 Chapter 220 Three Relatives Fighting in the Autumn Wind

After coming out of Xiyuan, Wang Daoqiu returned home.The tame bird turns into an old forest, and the fish in the pond miss their old friends, whether it is the remaining family ties between the original owners, or the relationship that Wang Daoqiu developed with his cheap father Wang Zhaowen and cheap mother Xu after he came here.

In short, he now likes his cheap parents more and more, and he sincerely regards them as his biological parents and the place where they are his home. He cares about them all the time.The outside world is wonderful, but I miss home.

When they arrived at the door of the house, the concierge Fan Er hurriedly came up and enthusiastically helped Wang Daoqiu hold the horse so that Wang Daoqiu could dismount.And after Wang Daoqiu dismounted, he quietly said to Wang Daoqiu: "Master, you are back. You have been away for more than half a year. The old lady must be very happy that you are back. But master, you have to be careful when you go in. You My two uncles, your eldest brother, and two cousins ​​are all here, and they said some bad things to you at the old man’s place, and the old man has been clamoring to deal with you these days!”

What?Sued!But what will his two uncles and eldest brother sue him for?Since I came to Beijing to take the exam, I have never seen them again, let alone offended them!

He didn't understand in his heart, and Wang Daoqiu didn't think about it anymore. It was a blessing or not a curse, but it was a curse that could not be avoided. Anyway, the worst case was just getting beaten by Wang Zhaowen with a bamboo stick and carrying him through it.

With this in mind, Wang Daoqiu asked his guard Wang Yong to reward the concierge Fan Er with ten oceans, and then reward the guards standing at the door of his house with ten oceans each, and then he walked into the courtyard.

When we entered the middle courtyard, we heard the bustle of the middle hall and the bustle of people. They were having a lively meal with wine and food.

Knowing that this was his parents eating with his two uncles, eldest brother and two cousins, Wang Daoqiu went in bravely.

Hearing footsteps coming in from outside, everyone who was eating hurriedly looked up. When they saw Wang Daoqiu coming back, everyone was surprised.Mother Xu was the first to say "stone" in surprise, and then ran up, pulling Wang Daoqiu and checking her up and down.

After this inspection, the loving mother's tears came down again, and she said heartbrokenly: "Oh, look, Shitou has suffered so much! He is so skinny that he can't even hold up his official uniform. You guys are evil! Hey, those Japanese and pirates are murderers without blinking an eye. If Shitou goes to suppress them, how can anyone not suffer? Shitou, please sit down and have a rest. We are back this time. There is nothing you can say. I won’t go any more. Come on, Shitou, sit down quickly, and I’ll make some chicken soup for you.”

After pulling Wang Daoqiu to sit down, Mrs. Xu ran out of the central hall and went to the backyard to catch chickens. She said that she would make a pot of chicken soup today to replenish Wang Daoqiu who had suffered a serious crime.

His mother was very considerate, and although Wang Daoqiu had already eaten in Xiyuan, he couldn't bear to hold his mother back.Because Wang Daoqiu knows that for a mother, seeing her son in good health and eating big mouthfuls is their greatest happiness.

His mother went to catch the chicken in a hurry, and next Wang Daoqiu had to face his father Wang Zhaowen.

Hearing that his wife Xu was walking away, Wang Zhaowen glared at Wang Daoqiu angrily and shouted loudly: "Bad boy, stand up for me."

Wang Zhaowen had a look on his face, and Wang Daoqiu didn't know what was going on, so he had no choice but to stand up and stand respectfully at the defendant's position.He lowered his head and waited for Wang Zhaowen's next words.

Wang Zhaowen sat in the main seat, flanked by Wang Daoqiu's two uncles, and Wang Daoqiu's own eldest brother and two cousins ​​in the row below.

When Wang Daoqiu stood still, Wang Zhaowen shouted: "There are rumors that you allowed the soldiers to plunder in the Japanese country, and even ordered the massacre of the city, which is inhumane. After returning to Zhejiang, you still asked the pirates to pay ransom to save their lives. , and secretly shared the thief with his subordinates. The silver taels shared by your generals, Qiu Ba, were all carried in boxes and boxes, and went to the Royal Bank of Ningbo to exchange them for silver coins and deposit them. It is said that there are more than a million taels. Duo. Son of a bitch, let me ask you, does this matter?"

Well, it turns out that the soldiers came ashore to save money and revealed their wealth!Thinking about carrying boxes and boxes of money and saving money on a large scale, it is indeed too ostentatious and arousing.

Knowing that this matter could not be concealed, Wang Daoqiu admitted in a bachelor's manner: "I dare not hide it from my father. The soldiers left home and traveled thousands of miles to fight for the country. It was really hard, so the reward given to them by the son was a bit generous. As for the looting and massacre of cities in the Japanese country, these are purely slanders by people with intentional intentions. This time, my son is going to the Japanese country to honor the king and fight the barbarians on behalf of our great tomorrow. How could he do those things that ruin the reputation of our heavenly country? If his son really After doing those things and ruining our court’s reputation, how could the emperor let his son out of Xiyuan today?”

What Wang Daoqiu said made sense, and Wang Zhaowen also felt that his son would not launch an army to plunder and massacre the city.After all, his Wang family was from a farming and studying family in the south of the Yangtze River, and his tutoring was very good.

In his heart, he felt that something about the Japanese country must be framed by someone who deliberately framed his son. Wang Zhaowen stopped mentioning the Japanese thing, but said sternly: "You have been well-behaved since you were a child and studied hard. Such things as plundering and massacring cities with troops are not for the sake of Father also believes that you can't do it. So what do you say about the suppression of pirates in Zhejiang?"

"Oh, this! To be honest with my father, for those pirates, the imperial court's purpose is to only punish the culprits and educate the ordinary bandits, so that they can change their minds and start a new life. Therefore, after my son wiped out Shuangyu Port, the nest of pirates, he will A few bandit leaders were executed on the spot, and the rest of the bandits were escorted by the navy, and they were asked to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, and went to exterminate other pirates along the coast of Zhejiang and Fujian."

Wang Zhaowen is a typical old master who studies hard, and his way of thinking is exactly that of Confucianism.So Wang Daoqiu didn't stupidly explain to him those pragmatisms, so he lied to Wang Zhaowen about how to deal with the pirates.

I have to say that Wang Daoqiu was right to deal with Wang Zhaowen in this way.Just like now, when Wang Daoqiu heard that Wang Daoqiu only executed a few bandit leaders in accordance with the court's laws, but gave other pirates a chance to reform, Wang Zhaowen nodded repeatedly to express "goodness".

Seeing that Wang Zhaowen was there tonight, he just wanted to let Wang Daoqiu pass, and Wang Daoqiu's uncle Xu Jian, who wanted to share the money with Qiu Feng, came up and said: "Brother-in-law, if you give the stone to those Qiu Badu, there are millions of taels of silver." , then how much does he get? After all, according to the rules, he, the coach, has to take the lion's share. Brother-in-law, we are a family, but you can't give us gold and silver. We are miserable, working hard and only earn a few copper coins."

Wang Daoqiu's uncle Xu Jian was the youngest of three brothers and two sisters from Wang Daoqiu's mother's Xu family. When Wang Daoqiu's grandpa was unable to repay his gambling debts, he chose to die and the Xu family was unable to raise him. She had many children, so when she wanted to sell him, she had to sell him. After all, he was the youngest and a boy at that time, so it was easy to sell.

But Wang Daoqiu's mother, Mrs. Xu, who was only eight years old at the time, couldn't bear to let go of her younger brother, so she cried and hugged him to death.In the end, the Xu family had no choice but to sell Wang Daoqiu's aunt to the town to be used as a child bride.Wang Daoqiu's uncle Xu Jian is not only the youngest among the Xu family's brothers and sisters, but his appearance is also the best in the Xu family. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is responsible for the appearance of men in the entire village.He is nearly 1.8 meters tall, with a strong build, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a heroic face. His whole body exudes the masculinity of a man.He was also heroic, fierce in fights, and was known as "Guitian". When gangsters and street gangsters from all over the country saw him, they all had to call him "big brother."

He is good-looking, masculine, and the youngest in the family, so Wang Daoqiu's mother Xu has always doted on her younger brother.And Wang Daoqiu's father, Wang Zhaowen, also thinks highly of his brother-in-law, and usually asks him for advice on family matters.

Therefore, Xu Jian, Wang Daoqiu's uncle, has a very high status in the Wang family, and even Wang Zhaowen, the head of the Wang family, listens to him in general matters.Now he stood up and wanted to get a share of the money, which gave Wang Zhaowen a headache. After all, the money was money from the money, and it was Wang Zhaowen who wanted to persuade Wang Daoqiu to return it to the court.

Wang Zhaowen didn't want the Wang family to keep that kind of money, but it was not convenient for Wang Zhaowen to express this to his brother-in-law.And Wang Zhaowen also knew that with his brother-in-law's business-minded way of thinking, he would not believe that anyone would leave such a large sum of money without asking for it?

It’s difficult!In Wang Zhaowen's heart, his brother-in-law is a righteous man who always calls out when something happens at home and never puts it off.He also has the ability to sail and run boats, and he is always the boss of any ship he goes on.But even though he can't bear hardships, he still likes to eat and drink well, he indulges in women everywhere, and becomes a big boss in the village. However, he lives in poverty and owes a lot of debts. Now he has to divide the gangsters. What a headache!
Wang Zhaowen, who had a headache, couldn't bear to reprimand his brother-in-law, so he reprimanded Wang Daoqiu and said: "Nasty son, you gave so much of the dirty things to those Qiu Ba, how much money did you get, and did you really earn it?"

"Silver! Father, my son didn't even ask for a tael of that silver. He gave it all to the soldiers."

"Shitou, you said you didn't ask for a tael of silver. Are you treating us like fools? Shitou, you are my uncle and I have watched you grow up. When you were a child, when someone bullied you, your uncle never failed to help you. You beat me back. Now that you are rich, you can't deny your relatives. In this way, my uncle doesn't care how much you want stones. You can give 1 taels to your uncle and your uncle's family, and then give 3000 taels to each of your two cousins. What do you think? ?”

1 taels, 3000 taels, this is indeed a drop in the bucket for the current Wang Daoqiu.If they only wanted it once, Wang Daoqiu would give it without hesitation now.But who would cherish the money that is too easy to earn?
Moreover, except for Wang Daoqiu's uncle, who is a dedicated farmer among these people, the others are all people who don't want to work and just want to enjoy life.With so much money in their hands, they will definitely eat and drink, gamble and go whoring. After spending it, they will come back to ask for it again, using their own homes as cash machines.

It's so annoying, so annoying. Thinking of this, Wang Daoqiu gritted his teeth and said with a heart: "Uncle, this time I can give you and my uncle 10 taels each, and my two cousins ​​3 taels each. But I have conditions."

"What conditions are you talking about, Shitou? I will know that you are a conscientious person, Shitou."

Hearing that Wang Daoqiu was willing to give him 10 taels, Xu Jian, Wang Daoqiu's uncle, was very happy.

And looking at his mother, his family, and his brother, they were full of desire for money.Wang Daoqiu said slowly: "Uncle, to be honest, we are all in the same family, and we all know if anyone has any problems. So I will give these money directly to you. Except for my uncle, you will definitely need it soon." If you run out of money and then come to me to ask for it again, I’ll be causing trouble for myself.”

"No, no, Shitou, 10 taels is enough! For ordinary people, ten taels of silver a year is enough. I'll spend some money on my uncle, but 1000 taels a year is enough, right? So 10 taels is enough for my uncle." It’s been 100 years, and my uncle will never touch you again.”

Thinking of 10 taels, for Wang Daoqiu's uncle Xu Jian, who has always been at the bottom of society, this is too much money, enough for him to use for a lifetime, why would he come to ask for it.But Wang Daoqiu knows that people's desire to consume will increase with the money in their pockets.

So Wang Daoqiu was not fooled by his uncle's guarantee and continued: "Uncle, for the money I gave you, I will give you a thousand oceans in cash, and the rest I will buy you a ocean ship. I know you used to help People have done smuggling work at sea, and you have sailed to Japan and Korea. I will buy you a big sea ship, and you will make a living by yourself in the future. Anyway, the admirals of the Zhejiang Navy and Dengzhou Navy are now at sea. , they are all people promoted by me, and they will give you convenience."

"Really? That's all. That's all. Smuggling out to sea is a very profitable business. It's just that I didn't have any capital before, but now I have the stones for you. That's all. That's what my uncle is doing."

Wang Daoqiu's uncle Xu Jian has a lot of money. How much money can he make by helping people run boats in small rivers?So he followed others to the sea. With his super physical fitness, he quickly adapted to the wind and waves on the sea.In the future, when he is short of money, he will go to sea to earn a sum of money with his head in his belt.

Now that Wang Daoqiu has given him a ship and "exemption from inspection" at sea, he is naturally happy to make such a big fortune.

After finishing the matter with his uncle, Wang Daoqiu said to his uncle: "Uncle, you are an honest man and can farm the land with peace of mind. Then I will exchange all your 10 taels for land in Huzhou."

10 taels of land is about [-] acres in Huzhou!Upon hearing that he would have three thousand acres of land under his name, Uncle Wang Daoqiu expressed his gratitude to Wang Daoqiu without even thinking about it, out of the deep-rooted desire of farmers for land.

The two uncles had made arrangements, and Wang Daoqiu didn't care about his eldest brother. He was under the control of his father, Wang Zhaowen, and there was no need for Wang Daoqiu to worry about him.

So Wang Daoqiu turned to his two cousins ​​and asked them what they wanted to do for a living.As a result, Wang Daoqiu's eldest cousin stammered and said with some embarrassment: "Shitou, when I came here, I met the silly son of Jiang Laocai's family in our village at Tongzhou Pier. This boy is now wearing a flying fish suit and embroidered spring knife." , in charge of the Tongzhou Wharf and Tongzhou Trade City. Oh, what a majesty! He also earns a lot of money. I heard that the merchants below are very filial to them just to buy a convenience. Shitou, cousin, I want to be a Jinyiwei, too. Just like the stupid son of Mr. Jiang’s family.”

"Yes, yes, Shitou, it's better to be an official. It's better to be an official. I've heard that you helped Jiang Laocai's stupid son become an official. You even help outsiders, but you can't help your cousin." .”

When he heard that his son wanted to be an official, Wang Daoqiu's uncle also helped him speak, which put Wang Daoqiu in a difficult position.
