Chapter 1326 Do You Want a Princess?
"Wang Ziyi, this is the house that the King of Jin gave you. Over there is the East Market, and over here is the Inner City. It is convenient to go anywhere. I gave you two shops, one in the East Market and one in the West Market. The farm outside the city has 130 acres of good land, 19 tenants, and 113 people.

His Highness has arranged for you servants and maids, a carriage, two old horses for rough work, and a groom, but His Highness has not arranged for a coachman or a housekeeper. The coachman knows where the manor is, and the manor has agreed to it. This box contains the deeds of the house, the shop, the manor, and the servants.

The things that the counselor has in the palace will be delivered later. The counselor and his wife can take their time to look at them. I will take my leave now."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Wang Yan nodded with a smile and sent the steward of the palace away. Then he turned back and shook the box in his hand at Xiao Mei, "Your Highness Prince Jin is really generous. I, a peasant, will definitely work hard in the future to repay your kindness."

"That's right, my husband. If it weren't for His Highness, I don't know what would have happened to you and me." Xiao Mei also smiled happily and understood what Wang Yan meant.

The two of them were talking to the maid who had come with them from the State of Chen. It was obvious that the maid was reporting their actions. Including the servants in the mansion, there must be a few who were Yang Guang's spies, if not all of them.

He looked at the dozen or so servants waiting anxiously at the door, including men, maids, servants, coachmen and grooms.

Wang Yan smiled at them and called Xiao Mei: "Let's go and take a look at our future home."

Xiao Mei smiled brightly, took Wang Yan's arm, and entered the house through the gate.

This is a two-and-a-half-story house. After entering the door and walking around the side, there are stables and a place to park carriages. The grooms and coachmen also live here.

Go straight through the gate, and you will see the front yard, where there is a well against the wall, two rows of side rooms, where servants live, and there are also living quarters and sundry rooms. Then, after passing through the second door, you will see the main hall of the house, where meals and guests are served. After passing through a small garden, you will see the three main rooms of the house.

The area of ​​the house is very large and spacious, especially near the inner city. Such houses are in short supply and cannot be bought even if you want to. Many officials cannot afford to live in the houses here.

Although Huang Chao had not yet done anything, officials were powerful and well-connected, but not all of them were so wealthy. With two shops and a farm, Yang Guang was a truly generous and good boss.

He knew Xiao Mei was rich, but he still gave her so much, fully demonstrating his respect for Wang Yan and sending a signal of "follow me and you'll have meat to eat". He gave her much more than Dou Huan...

After looking around the house, Wang Yan nodded with satisfaction and gathered the servants to chat. In just a few words, the atmosphere became lively.

Then he talked about some family rules, such as doing one's own job well, not talking about family gossip outside, not causing trouble when going out, not being afraid if being bullied, doing work with clean hands and feet, men and women can just say it directly if they like each other, and the host family will help arrange the marriage and so on.

The punishment for doing wrong things is clearly stated, and red lines are drawn as to who should be beaten and who should be killed.

When the joyful atmosphere dropped to freezing point because of these words and the servants were all uneasy, Wang Yan announced a monthly salary increase of 20% more than the original.

Then everyone was happy and showed their loyalty one by one.

After that, Wang Yan didn't care anymore. From now on, these people were arranged by Xiao Mei. Xiao Mei came from the palace. It was easier for Xiao Mei to play with these servants in the house than to play with ants. After all, if you play with ants, you have to worry about being killed, but these slaves who sell themselves will not.

Xiao Mei even taught the servants etiquette, she was absolutely professional in this area. In her opinion, hierarchy and etiquette were still very important. In other words, she could not abide by them, but others had to.

Wang Yan did not stop her, but just repeated the issue of the rebellion line, asking her not to oppress these slaves too much. Having rules does not mean oppression.

Exploitation is inevitable. Without the exploitation of surplus value, how could Wang hoard money and grain and secretly raise private soldiers? How could he carry out large-scale construction in the future and how could he allocate resources across the country?

It’s just that he takes from the people and uses it for the people, without putting the money into his own pocket.

After the lecture, the whole family began to clean up. All the belongings in the Prince Jin's Mansion were moved here and placed in different places under Xiao Mei's command.

Everyone had work to do except Wang Yan, so he had nothing to do, so he asked someone to get a set of carpentry tools and a pile of wood.

Under the watchful eyes of a large group of servants coming and going, he spent an entire afternoon handcrafting a recliner, a large round table, and several chairs, all of which were painted with tung oil and left to dry.

Work efficiency has skyrocketed.

The servants, including Xiao Mei, looked at Wang Yan with something strange in their eyes.

In fact, the servants all knew the identities of their masters, and even Wang Yan did not hide it. He told them directly about his past, and of course he did not forget to mention Yang Guang's support.

But they did not expect that Wang Yan actually had this ability. Even if he did not have any martial arts skills, Wang Yan could live a good life with his carpentry skills and high work efficiency.

But they didn't dare to ask, only Xiao Mei asked in surprise: "Husband, can you also do carpentry?"

"I know a lot." Wang Yan smiled, then pointed at the table and said, "From now on, we will eat at the round table and sit on the chairs. We will eat at the same table and kneel less at home. I am a vulgar person and I really don't like those."

"Okay." Xiao Mei nodded with a smile, and then asked the chef to prepare dinner. It was time for dinner.

Yang Guang also sent a lot of food and drinks, and sent people out to buy fruits, vegetables, etc. in the morning...

That night, in the new home, Wang Yan and Xiao Mei were affectionate and then they lay on the bed and talked.

Xiao Mei leaned on Wang Yan's chest and said, "My husband, now that we have taken the first step, what are our plans for the future?"

"Tomorrow we will check out the shops in the East and West Markets, and the day after tomorrow we will go out of town to check out our farm, reduce the rent for the tenants, and let them raise chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, and grow some vegetables. After we have done all this, we will look for some weaving and dyeing people to work out new printing and dyeing recipes."

"Alright."

Xiao Meijiao smiled and said, "My husband is so good at carpentry, we can make money by selling furniture in the shop."

"You are also from a wealthy family, don't you know that there is a carpenter in your family? What I made is just a little bit innovative, the old carpenter will take a look and make it at home, and the materials used by other families are even better than ours. Ordinary people can't afford it, so this kind of business can't be done."

"I didn't expect my husband to be so proficient in business."

"It's just that I'm used to thinking about things. If you don't understand something as simple as this, how can you accomplish anything great?"

"Husband, to accomplish great things, you must first have an heir. Only with an heir can others follow you with confidence." Xiao Mei looked at Wang Yan eagerly, "Husband, you have to work harder."

"Isn't it enough?"

"There's no such thing as this." Xiao Mei exhaled sweetly, "Now that we are living a stable life, we still need to have children. And if we have children, Yang Guang will be relieved. Otherwise, my husband has no relatives, so who can be at ease to employ him?"

"Madam, what you said makes sense. I will work harder."

Wang Yan has gotten used to Xiao Mei's jumping and changing nature. Xiao Mei is very interesting. Sometimes she is Xiao Fei, sometimes she plays Xiao Hou, and sometimes she plays innocent with a girly heart. Wang Yan still feels very good about it.

Thus, Xiao Mei got what she wanted and was given the infusion of life.

In the next few days, just as they had said in bed, the two of them took a look at the shop and farm that Yang Guang had given them.

After looking at the shop, Wang Yan could not help but sigh at Yang Guang's generosity once again. It was called a shop, but in fact it was two large shops connected together, with a yard at the back. All the existing shops could do business, and there was space for all. In the shop, Wang Yan could even feel the generosity radiating from Yang Guang.

Yang Guang was listening to his subordinates' reports in the Prince of Jin's Mansion. Hearing the sighs of Wang Yan, a peasant, he wondered if he understood the value of the future emperor.
There were no big surprises on the farm. Although the house there was not small, it was not very luxurious. Only the farm manager and his family were enjoying it.

Wang Yan took Xiao Mei to check the accounts, and then asked Yang Guang for instructions. The latter sent his men over and killed the manager's family without hesitation, so Wang Yan established his authority.

He announced that he would reduce the rent and allow the tenants to raise poultry and pigs, which won them great gratitude and they vowed not to neglect a single grain of food. Wang Yan also selected a reliable person to be the manager, who was not very reliable, but knew a few words. At the same time, he arranged for these people to build a school, and then he would look for poor scholars to come and teach the children to read and write. This time, he gained the loyalty of the tenants.

After all, knowledge is precious. In such an era, being able to read and write means that life is never too bad. This changed the fate of their family.

If the children of this generation do well, the next generation will have a good starting point. After a few generations, it is possible that someone will become a minor official, or do some small business, and the family will rise from then on.

This became the first thing Wang Yan did. He found a poor man from a poor family and sent him to the manor.

No matter how poor or humble they are, they are still persistent. It is not that they are willing to teach just because they are paid. It was only after Wang Yan used Yang Guang's name and promised to give him an official position in the future that he agreed to teach in the manor and help with accounting and management. Wang Yan said that he could gain experience first, and he just wanted to fool people.

Of course, it's not just a bluff. After all, Wang Yan always keeps his word. But this kid has to be reliable in doing things.

Just when this matter was arranged and they were about to start looking for people to weave and dye the cloth, one day, Yang Guang sent someone to find Wang Yan to go to the Prince of Jin's Mansion.

He rode all the way to the Prince of Jin's Mansion, and under the guidance of the waiter in the mansion, he went to find Yang Guang, but saw Yang Guang talking to a girl.

"Royal brother, father is really too much to insist on making you go so far away." The girl was speaking up for Yang Guang.

Wang Yan looked at her from afar. The girl was Yang Guang's biological sister, Princess Qionghua.

Yang Guang said, "Okay, Qionghua, my father also said that I am capable of both civil and military affairs. He asked me to go so far away because he was giving me an important task. Come back to the palace quickly. When I get there, I will have someone send you something good."

"Okay, then I'm leaving, my royal brother." Princess Qionghua left reluctantly. Before leaving, she looked at Wang Yan and then left with the help of the palace maids.

"Does it look good?" Yang Guang's gritting teeth sounded in his ears.

"nice."

Wang Yan's mouth seemed to be faster than his brain. After he realized what was happening, he looked flustered and said, "Ah, no, no, Your Highness..."

"That's enough." Yang Guang waved his hand. "You are a lustful boy. You already have one at home, but you are still not satisfied? You still want to marry a princess?"

"I do!" Wang Yan smiled and nodded.

"Damn, you are really brave."

"If I don't have the courage, why would I join your Highness's army?"

Yang Guang knew that Wang Yan was talking about the things in the Chen Palace, but he did not argue with Wang Yan. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you really want to marry her?"

"Can I really marry her?" Wang Yan asked back as if very surprised.

Yang Guang chuckled, "Qionghua and I are siblings from the same mother. We are fifteen years old and it is time for us to get married. Father and mother are already selecting a consort. You are definitely not suitable now, but if you have made great contributions, I will speak well of you in front of father and mother and let Qionghua marry you."

"What are your orders, Your Highness?"

"Back in the Chen Palace, you told me that if you wanted to compete for the crown prince, you had to make great contributions. Where did you say that you made great contributions?"

Wang Yan frowned and thought, then asked uncertainly, "Turks?"

"That's right." Yang Guang had a teachable face, but then he changed his face like a dog, "The old man doesn't agree with me staying in Daxing, and wants me to leave today and go to Bingzhou."

"Your Highness should address me as Father."

Staring at Wang Yan, Yang Guang said, "Now is the time to make use of you. You are the most capable and reliable person under my command. Whether you can marry Qionghua depends on this time."

"Your Highness, for a certain family, killing is the easiest thing."

"it is good!"

Yang Guang clapped his hands and praised, "You also know a little bit about military tactics. Tell me first, how should we act when we arrive in Bingzhou?"

"May I ask, Your Highness, what is my position?"

"Hundred generals!"

Wang Yan pondered for a moment and said, "The first Han Dynasty's Guanjun Hou led his troops to fight against the Xiongnu, relying on elite troops and surprise attacks. He was well aware of the importance of speed in war. I can lead my soldiers, one man and two horses, to go straight into the heart of the Turkic people, kill people, sheep, cattle, and horses. If we keep killing for a long time, we can make them unable to invade the south."

"Unable to invade the south?" Yang Guang laughed. "It will be autumn soon. Perhaps the Turks are already preparing for war and sharpening their knives."

"Your Highness, we can't just use one group of troops. If we have ten or a hundred, the Turks will have to mobilize a large army to chase and intercept them. How can they have spare energy to invade the south?"

"What a joke! Do you think the Turkic territory is your garden? You can go there whenever you want and leave whenever you want? If you want to launch a surprise attack with elite troops, do you know the way?"

"Your Highness, it doesn't matter if you don't know the way. Everyone on the grassland can find their way. There is no point in saying more. Your Highness, let Xu's family kill for a month and you will know."

"Really sure?"

"Your Highness, I never speak nonsense."

"What if it doesn't work?"

"If it doesn't work, I won't be able to come back to see His Highness."

"it is good!"

Yang Guang said, "It's settled. Go back and pack up. We'll leave tomorrow."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. This trip will be successful. I also want to marry the princess and become her consort."

"get out."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Wang Yan bowed, said goodbye and left.

Yang Guang watched Wang Yan walk away with a smile, then laughed to himself for a while, and then his face became like a dog's, full of anger.

He angrily stepped on the flowers and plants beside him.

"Damn old thing..."

I would like to thank the good brothers who give rewards, vote for monthly tickets, recommend tickets, and read books silently for their strong support!
