Dressed as the best old lady in the famine years, I suddenly became rich

Chapter 246 The new emperor ascends the throne
"Grandma, mom said that dad would suddenly wake up laughing in the middle of the night." Yang Shuangshuang leaned her head on Ke Mucheng's thigh and teased Yang Jiye who was sitting beside them and giggling.

"Go away! You are so disrespectful and you are making fun of me! I am your father!" How could Yang Jiye not be happy?
"Mom, I didn't expect that we would become royal relatives? Oh! The Yang family's ancestors are so proud! My fourth uncle is really amazing!" Yang Jiye has been dreaming about this these days, "Mom, do you think my fourth uncle can give me an official position? The second and third in command are both princes, and I am his nephew, so maybe I can get a royal position too!"

"If I ask you to be an official, do you know how to be one? If I ask you to be a king, do you know how to love the people like your own children? What's the point of being a king? Can you gain weight or something?" Ke Muqing rolled her eyes at him, "Even if your fourth uncle wants to make you a king, I won't allow it!"

Ke Muqing glanced at everyone and said, "People are most afraid of getting rich suddenly. Once they become arrogant, they will not know the directions and will not remember the hardships and difficulties."

Ke Muqing said, "It's not easy for your fourth uncle to get to where he is today. He just ascended the throne, and there are still old ministers in the court who are not convinced. Don't think it's easy to be the emperor, so if any of you dare to have those messy ideas, you'd better kill them as soon as possible, so that I don't have to do it myself."

Ke Xiucai was very pleased that Ke Mucheng thought this way.

In terms of merit, Ke Muqing's contribution is no less than others. In addition, Ke Muqing is the new emperor's sister-in-law Qin, so the new emperor's reward to the Yang family will definitely not be light.

Mr. Ke was also afraid that the young member of the Yang family would become too arrogant, which would cause trouble for the new emperor and bring disaster to the Yang family.

After driving away all the overly excited people, Ke Mucheng and Ke Xiucai stayed alone to talk.

Ask him, "Dad, what are your plans? The fourth brother wants all of us, including you, to go to the capital."

"Go ahead. Your mother and I have never been to the capital city in our lifetime. This trip is just to see the scenery and experience the life in the capital city when we are old."

"We will stay in the capital for a while and then return to Wangshan Town in Yan County. Although I am old, my health is still good. Wangshan Private School will reopen."

This was the decision made by the Ke family after discussion. They would first go to the capital to experience its prosperity, and then the family would return to Wangshan Town to live their previous life.

"The Yang family has also decided to return to Yan County. The land in the village will be returned to them after they return, so it's not bad to go back to their hometown." Ke Muqing said, "That's what I mean. Our Yang family will also go to the capital to have a look and have fun, and then go back to our hometown when we've had enough fun."

"Sanqing's family will definitely stay in the capital, and I plan to return to my hometown with my own family."

Ke Mucheng knew his own limitations. He knew that none of Yang Jiye's brothers was suitable to stay in the capital as an official. If they stayed in the capital for too long, it would cause trouble for Yang Erzhu, so it would be better for them to go back to their hometown.

She will see what the reward Yang Erzhu gives her is when the time comes. She will take what she deserves and not take what she shouldn’t.

There are some things that Yang Jiye and his brothers simply cannot keep, so they can only wait until Yang Chengzhuo and other grandchildren grow up to see if these children have any potential.

"If anyone in my family wants to enter the officialdom, they must take the imperial examination. If you can't even read well, what's the point of being an official? If you enter the officialdom, you will just be a gift to others."

As long as he can pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi with his real talents and knowledge, Ke Mucheng will no longer suppress the child. At that time, the emperor can let the child take any official position he wants, and Ke Mucheng will feel more at ease.

Moreover, when the grandchildren have grown up, Yang Erzhu's throne will be secure, and those who are dissatisfied in their hearts should give up their unnecessary thoughts.

"Your idea is good, and that's what we should do." Mr. Ke nodded.

After Mr. Ke left, Ke Muqing called Yang Yi and the others over. "Do you remember what I said to you back then?" Ke Muqing smiled and handed over the indentures of several people. "Actually, I wanted to give them to you last year, but the world was not stable at that time, so I wanted to keep you for a while. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, it's time for me to fulfill my promise."

"Take the indenture. From now on you will be free men and no longer be slaves."

"You are all capable people. If you want, you can follow me to the capital. I will introduce you to someone else, whether it's under the Yong Wang or the Ning Wang. At least I can find you a job to support your family."

"If you have your own plans, you can leave on your own."

At this point, Ke Muqing took out a banknote from his bosom and said, "Two hundred taels per person, which is considered severance pay and resettlement allowance. With this money, even if you return to your hometown, you can buy land and start a family. Whether you can become rich and powerful in this life depends on your future luck, but you will definitely not starve to death."

Yang Yi and the others looked at Ke Muqing in astonishment.

In fact, the longer they get along with the Yang family, the deeper their ties become, and the less they want to leave.

The host family treated them very well and regarded them as human beings. Every time they went out, the host family would instruct them to take care of the people first and then take care of other things.

In the eyes of their masters, their lives are of the utmost importance, not worthless lives like those of ants.

The master never beat or scolded them. They ate whatever the master ate and was never treated harshly.

After settling down in the city last year, the host family would remember whose birthday it was and give them a reward, including a bowl of birthday noodles, ten taels of silver, and a whole day off.

Yang Yi felt that the master treated them like family members rather than servants.

They had already saved enough money to redeem themselves, but they had never come to look for their master because they did not want to separate.

"We are reluctant to leave the master's house." Yang Yi said.

Ke Muqing smiled as he looked at the group of young people in front of him with red eyes.

"If you don't want to leave, then don't leave. It's not a difficult thing." Ke Muqing said, "The Yang family is going to Beijing and then return to their hometown in Wangshan Town. If you have nowhere to go and if you are willing to leave the prosperity of Beijing, then you can also come with us to Wangshan Town to settle down. We will be relatives in the future."

"If you want to look for your family, then go and look for them. After you find them, if you still want to go back to Wangshan Town, then bring your family to Wangshan Town to settle down again. But one thing is that you must remember to come to the Yang family and tell us when you come back. Relatives have to visit each other in order to be close, isn't that right?" Ke Mucheng asked back.

"If you find it and want to go back to your hometown, please write me a letter when you get back so that I can know where you are staying and I don't have to worry about you too much."

After Ke Mucheng finished speaking, Yang Yi and his group of grown men actually started to cry.

"We are so lucky to meet the master." Yang Yi wiped away tears, "I will go wherever the master goes. I have no home for a long time. If the master doesn't mind, I will still look after the house for you."
