Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

After all, when people have nothing to eat, sometimes their moral bottom line will be lowered. Who knows if some people will get desperate and gather together to rob? Although they have guards, it is also very annoying to have such a group of hungry wolves coveting them around.

At this time, someone took over these refugees, regardless of whether they had the ability or not, or whether they were real or fake, it was a good thing for them.

Dynasties come and go, but aristocratic families remain forever. Since the change of dynasties, it is only the imperial court that has changed, not the aristocratic families.

Even if some refugees rebel, the aristocratic families will provide help to those rebels they consider attractive, and make friends with them in advance. Who knows, if any group rises up, their aristocratic families may also be able to benefit from it.

Even if it fails, for a family that has accumulated assets for more than ten generations, it is just a waste of money, not worth mentioning, and can be regarded as an investment failure.

However, they did not care. Whether there were anti-people here or not, it was a small matter for the aristocratic families. If those anti-people really gathered together, they would definitely ask them for help. It was precisely because the aristocratic families understood this that they had no scruples.

You know, what are we fighting for?

That is money, food, weapons and equipment! It is connections!

Without these, how could any anti-people group succeed? Could they really fight against those well-equipped armies with hoes and cloth? That would simply be suicide! And the noble families have all these, and the wealth accumulated for more than ten generations is not something that the common people can imagine.

Furthermore, whenever there was troubled times, in order to avoid risks, the noble families would divide their direct descendants and collateral descendants into several groups, and let them take part of the property and guards to the manors allocated to them to avoid risks.

After all, if there really is that idiot who dares to destroy the family, they can still leave behind a few branches, and they will be able to regain their glory in the future.

Of course, even if a noble family is destroyed, only a branch family will be destroyed, because you will never know how many tricks the other party has left and how much property they have taken away; of course, even if it is successfully destroyed, those properties are hidden very well, and you will not get much, at most you will get a manor or a piece of land!

Because of this kind of behavior, they may even be resisted by all the aristocratic families. Everyone in the world will be their enemy. Without material support, and with the aristocratic families deliberately supporting their opponents, they will make mistakes one after another and eventually perish.

So don't say that you just need to be a bandit. Some things will not be put out in the open. Besides, the private soldiers of the noble families are not so easy to mess with.

This is the confidence that allows those noble families to remain unshakable in troubled times. They are not afraid of rebellion against the people. As long as there are desires, no one will go against them.

After Wang Tong came across some special news, he had a general idea of ​​these things.

After finding out that there was no successful rebellion nearby and no conditions for rebellion, he came up with a plan. When he spread the rumor, he not only did not restrain himself, but revealed it openly in front of others.

This is no longer spreading rumors, but an open and aboveboard way of recruiting people.

There was nothing special about what Wang Tong said, such as the blessing of the dragon and the ability to have enough food and clothing. These words did not seem real to the skinny refugees.

Even before the natural disaster, they couldn't get enough food and clothing every day, let alone at this time.

It's like when someone tells you that the emperor is the son of dragon, the only reaction you'd get is "oh", because it's impossible to imagine, it has nothing to do with you, and it doesn't feel real at all.

However, even so, Wang Tong's recruitment still attracted the attention of many refugees, because Wang Tong not only talked, but also used reality to tell them.

For example, the rosy faces of their group of people are the best evidence. Nowadays, only those from big and wealthy families can have such a look.

But the people in front of them were completely different. Not only were they wearing clothes commonly used by ordinary people, but their tone was also friendly. This attitude immediately won the favor of everyone.

At once, many people were interested. Maybe what the other party said was true?

After all, Longting County is not far away, so there is nothing wrong with going and taking a look.

What if it's true!?

Some refugees were ready to move, and Wang Tong saw the opportunity to organize these people, saying that if they were willing, he would give them a day's worth of food! As expected, his action attracted many people, and more people came to express their agreement.

Whether it is true or not is not the point, this is food! Get it first.

In this regard, Wang Tong accepted all the offers, regardless of whether these people really thought so or not. His actions were too generous, and he seemed to have no attachment to the food. This attitude not only made people's favorability towards him increase, but also made them look forward to the Longting County mentioned in the other party's words.

So Wang Tong walked and stopped, walked and stopped, staying in each county for a few days, then distributing food and speaking propaganda slogans.

Soon the rumor spread in all directions, and his act of giving away money also attracted the attention of local government officials and aristocratic families. The government didn't mind, as they were happy to have someone help them get rid of the refugees...but the aristocratic families began to think in their hearts that the force from Longting County seemed to be quite generous, and not as ordinary as they thought to be anti-people.

Just when all the noble families, big and small, were wondering who this person was, suddenly a noble family came out and sent someone to invite Wang Tong over. For a moment, each family had different thoughts in their minds and thought more.

Because the family that appeared was none other than one of the famous local families, the Xie family, which was in charge of the surrounding iron mines.

You have to know that iron ore is not something that ordinary aristocratic families can get. Salt, iron and the like are the lifeblood of the country and are generally managed by the imperial dynasty. However, the Xie family, for some unknown reason, was able to obtain the mining rights of iron ore from the government. As a result, they stood out from many aristocratic families and gradually became a famous local aristocratic family.

However, such a noble family went to great lengths to entertain a person from a small Longting County and even invited him over. This action made some of the surrounding noble families feel surprised and curious at the same time. Could it be that there was some powerful force behind this guy who suddenly came?

After Wang Tong was invited into the Xie family, he saw the prosperous manor, the exquisite attic, and the servants around them who had rosy faces and were meticulous and strictly abided by the rules. While he admired them in his heart, he also became cautious in his movements.

When Wang Tong was invited into the reception room, he first saw a man who looked kind but had an outstanding temperament. The man first bowed politely, and then the two began to talk.

The other noble families were not clear about the Xie family's actions and why they invited a peasant.

They only knew that the other party had been in the Xie family for about half a day, and when he came out, the head of the Xie family personally saw him out the door. It could be seen that the two of them were having a very pleasant conversation.

The Xie family even sent a guard team, saying that they were already friends and that the road was unsafe, so they specially escorted Wang Tong to protect the safety of Wang Tong and those around him.

This made the surrounding families' eager hearts stop at once.

Originally, they wanted to invite the other party to their home to see what kind of person they were, but they didn't expect that the Xie family would take the initiative and actually intercept them!

For a moment, all the noble families scratched their heads, feeling very curious. They began to order their subordinates to find out what this so-called Longting County was and find out the truth.

On the other hand, Xie Yin, the eldest daughter of Xie Jing, the head of the Xie family, was also very puzzled by her father's sudden behavior.

The girl in a light green skirt looked at her father with a puzzled expression and her brows slightly furrowed.

"Father, why did you send the guards to escort that person? Just now, I heard you talking to it, and it kept calling you Lady Dragon Girl. It was full of nonsense, as if it was brainwashed."

"And my daughter saw that he was dressed in cloth and had no knowledge of etiquette. I knew at a glance that he was just a commoner. Since he could send such a person, I guess there was no big power behind him. Why did you suddenly invite him to our house?"

The girl's words were full of confusion.

Why would my wise father become friends with such a peasant? They were just chatting casually for a few minutes, but my father became so generous.

Could it be that the man used some kind of witchcraft to confuse my father?

"Father, you are getting old and confused!"

"Hahaha, Yin'er, your father is not senile and confused..."

The man laughed and put a hand on his daughter's head and touched her.

"Ah! My hair, father!!"

Seeing that her well-combed hair was messed up by her father, Xie Ying glared at the man in dismay and anger.

"I'm already an adult, not a little girl anymore! Why are you still touching my head like you did when we were little?"

"Ahahaha, I'm used to it."

The man laughed heartily, then sighed.

"Unconsciously, my daughter, you have grown up. I don't know who will get our beautiful daughter in the future. She will be so young."

"Father! I'll be angry if you say that again! You know I don't want to do that at all!"

"Okay, okay, I was just joking. I know you like freedom and want to do something chivalrous like your mother."

The man shook his head helplessly.

"Like mother, like daughter. The daughter is just like her mother, which shows that we are connected by heart!"

Xie Yin pouted. She didn't want to be like other women who spent their whole lives just to find a man to marry. Since she had such a good father and such good conditions, why not go and see this exotic land!

Perhaps it was due to genetics, she has liked abacus since she was a child. When she grew up, with the support of her mother's dowry, she managed the shops and fields in the dowry in an orderly manner, and the return on assets doubled.

Perhaps it was because she had shown signs of it since childhood, Xie Yin's talent was fully revealed. When it came to business, the sixteen-year-old Xie Yin was even better than the old-school businessmen. Even part of the Xie family's iron ore business was handed over to her, and she used it to do many more things, expanding her network of contacts compared to before.

Ordinary people only know that the Xie family seems to have undergone some new changes in recent years. Their work style is very different from before and their business is booming, but they don't know that all of this was done by a sixteen-year-old girl.

However, doing business is not a glorious thing after all. Among the four classes of people, merchants are ranked behind farmers. The Xie family is a noble family, so how could they let Xie Yin stand out and have her reputation slandered because of this? Therefore, only some people in the Xie family knew about this, and other people were completely unaware of it.

Because she was in charge of some family affairs, Xie Yin was able to intervene in some family affairs and communications. Her father Xie Yin was also planning to train her as a future family member. The status of women in this world was not very low. Although there were few female officials and female heads of the family, they did exist. But in the final analysis, it all came down to talent.

Talented and capable people, regardless of gender, will be favored by everyone in this world. Therefore, it was not surprising to train their daughter Xie Yin to be the head of the family. Instead, it was considered natural by the Xie family.

Of course, she was capable, but her experience as a teenager also made her lack calmness and sophistication. Xie Jing knew that his daughter was not the kind of person who looked down on others because of their status and etiquette. It must be that the man just said something that made her dissatisfied, and then she felt resistance.

Faced with his daughter's doubts, Xie Jing shook his head and sat on a mahogany chair beside him. He picked up a cup of tea and sipped it. After his daughter sat next to him, he replied.

"Yin'er, you should know how the Xie family made their fortune..."

Hearing her father suddenly ask this, Xie Yin thought her father was testing her, so she answered.

"Of course my daughter knows that our Xie family's ancestors were originally a declining family. It was only because our ancestors saved a person who was of noble status that the Xie family came here to repay the favor, and thus began to make a fortune and then prospered."

"You're right. Our Xie family did make its fortune in this way. It's nothing special, and we don't have any big background. When outsiders talk about backstage or something like that, it's nothing more than random guesses. That person has already understood the cause and effect with us."

Xie Jing nodded and said with relief.

"But, Yin'er, do you know who that noble man is?"

Suddenly, Xie Jing started to keep the secret.

"Father, are you going to tell me who that noble man is?"

Xie Yin was full of curiosity. After all, she had asked her father many times before, but her father refused to tell her who the so-called noble person was. But now her father agreed, and Xie Yin suddenly became interested.

"Is he some royal relative? Or maybe some hermit master?"

Xie Jing laughed happily upon seeing this, then he restrained his expression and spoke in a deep voice.

"You may not have thought that the so-called noble person was the young Imperial Master who had just come down from the mountain and had not yet assisted Emperor Taizong in the uprising."

"Master Imperial Master!?"

Xie Yin covered her mouth with her hands and exclaimed.

It’s no wonder she looked like that; the answer was just too surprising!

Who is the Imperial Master? He is the patron saint of the dynasty, a living god who is still alive! The Dinghai Shenzhen who has been alive and well since Emperor Taizong.

The status of the Imperial Master in the imperial dynasty is comparable to that of the emperor. Whether it is praying for blessings in the event of natural disasters or predicting fortune or misfortune, the dynasty depends on the Imperial Master.

In the three hundred years since the establishment of the imperial dynasty, any natural disaster, whether it was an earth dragon turning over or a flood, could be predicted. Therefore, it can be said that the national teacher saved countless people during this period and also protected the country from danger. How could such a living god not be loved by the people?

Therefore, it is no wonder that Xie Yin was so surprised when she heard her father say that the noble person saved by their ancestors was the Imperial Master.

"Father, you are not kidding, are you?"

"Of course not! Don't you still believe in your father?"

The man raised an eyebrow, clearly hurt by his daughter's expression of distrust.

"At that time, there was a famine everywhere, the old dynasty was falling and the new one was about to be established. The state master was still very young, just an ordinary Taoist priest. It might also be because he had just come down from the mountain and didn't know the rules of the world. Not long after he came down from the mountain, he almost starved to death!"

Speaking of this, Xie Jing couldn't help but sigh.

"It just so happened that at that time, one of our ancestors from the Xie family met the Imperial Master. Seeing that the other party was in a very bad situation, he kindly gave him some money and money, which was considered a life-saving grace. The Imperial Master at that time was also very grateful and said that he would definitely repay the old ancestor for saving his life in the future."

"And then what? Then what happened..."

Xie Yin asked.

"And then? There was no then. This is what happened next."

Xie Jing smiled and said.

"At that time, the ancestor only thought that the other party was an ordinary Taoist priest, so he helped without expecting anything in return, so he just ignored the other party's words."

"But who would have thought that the world would change drastically afterwards, and a group of anti-democracy heroes suddenly emerged. They were well-disciplined and invincible, and they beat all the other groups to a pulp."

"It was not until the new dynasty had been established for more than ten years that the Taoist priest from that time came to the door. Then the old ancestor realized that the strange man who occupied the sky and the land behind Taizong was actually the Taoist priest he saved!"

"You should know the rest. The reason why our Xie family can get to where we are today is all thanks to a life-saving grace."

Having said this, Xie Jing slowly exhaled.

"That's luck! Meeting the right person at the right time and making the right choice."

The right time, right place and right people, that's why our Xie family can get help from noble people!

"Father, you mean that the guy named Wang Tong is also our benefactor now?"

Hearing that his daughter understood the meaning of his words, Xie Jing nodded and smiled slightly, with an expression that showed that her daughter was teachable.

However, Xie Yin was still very confused.

"But... why?"

Xie Yin felt confused. Her ancestor's help to the Imperial Master was just a coincidence and an accident. After all, no one knew at that time that the other party would eventually become the most powerful person in the new dynasty.

My father wanted to emulate the ancestor of the Xie family, but how did he know that the other party would have a bright future?

Xie Yin was very confused, so she asked.

Xie Jing paused for a long time before speaking.

"You are right. Our ancestor really didn't have that ability. He just saved the Imperial Master by accident."
