Heavenly Dao Formula

Chapter 46 Family Foundation

At the same time, on the other side of Jinxia City, Wang's mansion.

"Master, once you have done what you ordered me to do, the Donghai Gang will do it at night." Master Lu pushed open the door of the Patriarch's room, bowed and said.

"Really? You've worked hard." Wang Yi'an put down the pen in his hand, leaned on the back of the chair and rubbed his neck, "I hope that this time, those untouchables who burn salt in private can be restrained a little bit."

Ever since the Wang family was ordered by the court to be in charge of the Jinxia Salt Industry, similar things have not stopped. And as the Patriarch who has been in charge of the Wang family for more than 20 years, he has handled it with ease. He didn't think it was a big deal to deal with a few untouchables, it was just a little annoying.

There is Jinxia City on the road of outsiders, and the Yanwang family below. The family has reached the peak in Jinxia. It can be said that turning hands into clouds and turning hands into rain. Wang Yi'an scoffed at this statement, not only could he not sit back and relax, but he had to always plan for the future, and what he was thinking about was beyond the imagination of the mediocre people outside.

"But master...has the price of salt been a little high recently?"

"Why, is someone dissatisfied?"

"The dissatisfaction of the public is second to none." Master Lu hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell the truth, "I heard that the Qingwu gang is also planning to sell salt. Get up again."

"So what?" Wang Yi'an raised his head and looked at the master, "Let me ask you a few questions."

The latter was stunned, "...Please, sir."

"Who made salt for the imperial court in Jinxia City?"

"This... Only the Wang family has this qualification."

"What is the crime of producing and selling salt privately?"

"capital offense."

"Compared with the Donghai Gang, which one is stronger?"

"The Wu gang is just a mob composed of porters and traffickers. Naturally, it cannot be compared with the Donghai gang you control..."

"Then what should we do about this matter, isn't it very clear?" Having said this, Wang Yi'an's voice suddenly became gloomy, "Master, when did you become so indecisive?"

Looking at the other party's sharp gaze, Master Lu couldn't help but shudder.

If someone commits a crime again, it will be fine to deal with it in the same way.

If the Qingwu gang intervenes, then they will also be pulled out together.

For the Patriarch of the Wang family, this is not a problem at all.

He swallowed, bowed his head and replied, "Yes, I know what to do now."

"You have assisted my family for two generations, so it is understandable that you would be influenced by my father." Wang Yi'an sighed, his words were no longer as cold as before, as if it was just an illusion, "But Lu Zhigao... you I have been with me for so many years, don’t you understand what I want? Whether it is salt or money, they are just means, and only power can bless the family to go on.”

"And there are two kinds of power, one is obtained by relying on others, and the other is obtained by one's own accumulation and planning. Either way requires a lot of money to support. The ancestors can't see so far, they just want to make a fortune with the salt industry, and they don't want to I wonder if this salt was named Wang in the first place. If I don’t make up for the time they wasted, when will I have to wait?”

He walked up to Master Lu and patted him on the shoulder, "Now is the time to spend money, you have to take care of this for me and help the Wang family to a higher level..."

"Yes, Lu will definitely not disgrace his life!" The master was both in awe and joy. It can be said that he watched Wang Yian grow up. Compared with other patriarchs, he can really feel something different about this person, as if others are born to obey him. Although I am a master, but with his rapid growth, I have rarely been able to put forward any decent opinions.

This may be the so-called Ming Lord.

"Father, I heard you were looking for me?" There was a knock on the door suddenly.

"Ah, you came just in time." Wang Yi'an returned to his seat, "Let's talk about it first."

A young man with a tall and straight figure and a handsome face walked quickly into the house, looked around and saluted twice, "Hello, father, hello, master."

Master Lu turned sideways slightly, smiled back and saluted, "Young master, please come here in good health."

This person is Wang Yi'an's second son, Wang Renzhi.

If his elder brother, Wang Qingzhi, has a calm temperament and is experienced in his actions, he has a bit of his father's shadow, then the second son has a different personality. big responsibility.

It's just that this second son, at the age of fifteen, awakened the ability to sense Qi.

"You should stay at home more and accompany your mother, instead of going to hang out with those cronies for a few days immediately after returning from the north, and celebrating in the brothel so that everyone in the city knows that you have been admitted to the alchemist "Wang Yian reprimanded, "The Privy Office is no better than the official government. I can transfer you to Shenzhou through my relationship, but I can't guarantee you a smooth sailing in the mansion. If those big men get tired of you, you will stop here at most. .”

"You are speaking modestly. Who doesn't know that the four departments of the Privy Council have a good relationship with you. Of course, I won't make too much trouble, so please rest assured." Wang Renzhi said disapprovingly, "And these days I It's not that I didn't do any business, after the appointment and dismissal order came down, I even took time to visit the Privy Council."

"Oh? It's rare for you to be so conscious."

"Let's do something first, I know. By the way, father," the second young master changed the subject, "There were a few new alchemists there at the time. Guess what, I saw a girl from the Luo family who looked pretty... Could it be that this qi not only strengthens the body, but also beautifies the appearance—”

"Okay, don't say this at home, and don't say it outside in the future," Wang Yi'an interrupted impatiently, "From today on, you must restrain your temper and be cautious in your words and deeds. Especially women... it is best Break up all the entanglements in the past, if you can't do it, I can ask Master to do it for you."

Wang Renzhi was stunned, "What's the matter, Dad, you never cared about me before."

"It was in the past, but it's different now." Wang Yi'an slowed down his speech, "You should know about the canonization by the Holy One, right?"

"I know." Seeing his father's serious expression, Wang Renzhi calmed down.

"I heard the news from Gyeonggi that the first one to be conferred was the Third Emperor's Daughter, named Princess Guangping, and the conferred land was Jinxia City."

"Are you sure?" Wang Renzhi asked in surprise, "Jinxia is remote and shabby, and there is nothing but salt, let alone Shangyuan, which of the three Jiangnan states is not more comfortable than here?"

"The meaning of the Holy One is that you can disobey if you don't want to?" He said in an unquestionable tone, "In short, you only need to know that this city will soon be under the rule of the princess, and the official order should be issued soon. do you understand?"

"My child understands... No, my child still doesn't understand." Wang Renzhi scratched his head, "What does this have to do with me looking for a woman? Does the princess still care about this?"

Master Lu reminded softly, "His Royal Highness has no one to rely on, and coming here for the first time is like duckweed without roots, and the support of the Wang family is exactly what she needs."

"Oh, you're talking about building relationships, but isn't that my brother's business? He is the one who maintains the relationship in the government, and you were the one who entrusted him with this task..."

Wang Yian couldn't help rubbing his forehead.

If the master wasn't here, he would have spit the word "stupid" in the opponent's face long ago.

In addition to having a good skin, my second son is not as good as the eldest son in all aspects... Is it because Wang Qingzhi is so worry-free that he neglected the education of the second son?

But it was such a son who became an alchemist.

It seems that the so-called qi can improve the body, but not the mind.

Wang Yi'an stared deeply at Wang Renzhi, "Using money to stabilize the relationship will never be as strong as an iron wall. If we want to truly control the government in our hands, this canonization is a rare opportunity for us. Listen up, Renzhi In short, I want you to marry the princess...that is, to marry."

"Join, marry?" The second young master immediately yelled, "This is not allowed! Dad, my lord father, please think twice... If the eldest brother dies, wouldn't my royal family not even have an heir? More importantly, who Know what she looks like!"

"If you can't do it, you have to do it!" Wang Yi'an said with a hammer on the table.

He felt that his patience was running out—to be honest, when he first learned that his second son had awakened his emotional qi, he felt for the first time that God was looking after the Wang family. If there was anything else in Jinxia City that he couldn't fully get his hands on, it was only the Privy Council. Although alchemists also need money, they treat him more like they are being used. In the eyes of those people, people who cannot feel Qi are like ordinary people, and they are simply not the same kind of people as alchemists. This kind of contempt cannot be compensated by money, as long as he is still an ordinary person, it is impossible to really pull them into the same boat.

Although the Donghai Gang had promised to bring him enough power to overwhelm the Privy Council, Wang Yi'an himself was afraid of this incomprehensible power. Not to rely too much on the power given by others is one of his principles in dealing with things.

Wang Renzhi's sentiment made him see for the first time the hope of completely controlling the Privy Council of Jinxia City.

If the princess can be pulled onto the boat again, the time required for this process will undoubtedly be greatly shortened.

If there is any shortcoming in this plan, I am afraid it is the second son himself.

"If you can't do it, you have to do it." Wang Yi'an repeated, "I will create an opportunity for you after the princess's driver arrives. Before that, don't get close to other women. Besides, this matter may not be possible. You must Do your best."

"Could it be that the princess still can't see me after I try my best?" Wang Renzhi clenched his fist and said, "Maybe she will even marry me voluntarily!"

"Oh?" Wang Yi'an said incredulously, "The princess is not a country girl who has never seen the world."

"If she marries me voluntarily, then she doesn't have to marry me, right?"

"Of course, then you can discipline her as you like."

"I understand, Dad." Wang Renzhi nodded emphatically.

Didn't expect to be able to arouse his heart in this way, after all, did he have his own blood flowing through his body? Wang Yi'an waved his hand to make both of them retreat, while he returned to the documents on the table.

It's best to be able to marry the princess back, and it's okay if you can't, at best, you don't take shortcuts and it will take more time - as long as he can insert his hand into the Privy Council, sooner or later Jinxia City will be integrated with the Wang family and become the real foundation of the family .
