Control the ancestors and create an immortal family starting from the Qin Dynasty

"This guy."

After seeing Sang Hongyang leave, Tian Qianqiu shook his head helplessly.

Even if he escaped from the Prime Minister's Mansion, he could not escape the fate of being involved in this matter.

Zhang Wei has already made up his mind.

This shows that Zhang Wei had already had ideas about this matter.

There just hasn't been any action.

Zhang Wei is right about what he said.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, there were many things they needed to deal with.

These issues are not easy to resolve.

Moreover, the emperor was young and had no ability to control the overall situation.

The only thing they can do is to step forward and resolve the matter first to eliminate the future troubles for the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Wei is still concerned about the country and the people.

At least he's still on the side of the Han.

It seems that he has to help Zhang Wei to calm the big man down completely.

The big man is indeed not feeling well now.

During the reign of Emperor Wu, especially in his later years.

He has always been disorganized in doing things and favors eunuchs.

They exploited the people's wealth wantonly.

And there is a lot of construction going on.

They loved to go on tours and perform large-scale Fengshan ceremonies, and coupled with years of war, they suffered heavy losses.

The treasury is empty.

If there was no Zhang family business.

The big man is now unable to stand alone.

And they could not provide sufficient financial support to support the Grand Marshal's march north.

Zhang Wei has now discovered the drawbacks of the state-run salt and iron industries and has asked them to take responsibility for the matter.

Let them recommend talents to the Han Dynasty.

These are all signs that Zhang Wei is optimistic about the big man.

They naturally would not miss such a great opportunity.

Since Zhang Wei has given them the opportunity, they naturally have to do it well.

Thinking of Zhang Wei's performance today, Tian Qianqiu nodded.

After that, he prepared to write a letter to present to the emperor.

no doubt.

The emperor and Zhang Wei have the same idea.

The emperor asked him and Sang Hongyang to be in charge of this matter.

Let them recommend outstanding talents to various counties and let them form a literary group of virtuous people, and then go deep into the people to put forward their own suggestions on the affairs of the state-run salt and iron industries.

Sang Hongyang and Tian Qianqiu summoned the wise and virtuous scholars selected from the counties and states to inquire about the sufferings of the people.

Tian Qianqiu didn't have any objection.

But these people disagreed with Sang Hongyang.

The two men engaged in a fierce confrontation over the causes of the people's suffering, policies toward the Huns, government guidelines, and even concepts of governing the country.

This meeting did not reach any clear conclusion.

But the views of both sides of the debate naturally had a great impact on the Han Dynasty at that time.

Naturally, there are difficulties in this matter, and people are adding fuel to the fire from behind.

As this meeting is held.

Zhang Wei's status in the Han Dynasty has risen dramatically.

He even became a person who was second only to one person and above ten thousand people.

His power was even greater than that of Grand Marshal Huo Guang.

He can even take charge of the government.

During Zhang Wei's regent period.

It created a great gene for the Han Dynasty.

Grand Marshal Huo Guang led his troops northward, but did not inflict a fatal blow to the Huns.

Although the North successfully prevented the Huns from moving further south.

But the effect is not great.

It was far less than the devastating blow that the Zhang family had inflicted on the Huns.

Grand Marshal Huo Guang saw that his plan had failed.

I can only seek help from Zhang Wei.

After considering many factors, Zhang Wei restored the policy of marriage alliance.

Plan to cultivate common good with the Huns.

Of course, he did this not because he was incapable of defeating the Huns again.

But he needs a check and balance on the big man.

He would also not allow the Huns to harm the Han people.

But we can't let the big man live too comfortably.

If the Han Dynasty lives too comfortably, it may take action against the aristocratic families and powerful clans.

Since he wanted to build the Zhang family into a thousand-year-old family, he had to give up his kindness.

Anyone can be the master of this dynasty.

But the position of the head of the Zhang family can only be held by someone with the surname Zhang.

He naturally had to consider the Zhang family.

Zhang Wei replied to the Grand Marshal and asked him to practice the same name as the Xiongnu.

Even restore the marriage policy.

Grand Marshal Huo Guang had no objection to Zhang Wei's policies.

Instead, he followed Zhang Wei's instructions and reached a new consensus with the Huns.

The two do not offend each other.

Fellow practitioners share the good fortune.

Not only that, during this meeting.

Zhang Wei, who held great power, basically adhered to the policies formulated in Emperor Wu's Luntai Sin-criticism Edict.

Implement measures to provide rest to the people.

Let the common people cultivate the public land.

Lend seeds and food to farmers, exempt some taxes and corvee labor, and lower the price of salt.

Both internal and external policies enabled the Han Dynasty to achieve good development.

It also allowed the big man to regain his vitality in a short period of time.

The conflicts left over from the Emperor Wu period were basically under control.

The Han Dynasty's declining trend was reversed.

At least during Liu Fuling's governance, no problems occurred.

Time flies.

The first 74 years.

The young Liu Fuling suddenly became seriously ill.

Because he was still young, he had no children.

As the head of the regent ministers, Zhang Wei decided to enthrone King Changyi Liu He as emperor.

This person is the descendant of Emperor Wu's fifth son.

After his father's death, he was granted the title of King of Changyi.

In addition, this person had cried for Liu Fuling.

Character is valuable.

Zhang Wei took this as an example of how a person's character determines his profit, but after Liu He ascended the throne, he became dissolute and lost the etiquette of an emperor, disrupting the Han system.

Zhang Wei saw that this person would protect the big man.

It may lead to instability in the government.

It may even cause suffering to all people in the world.

Soon after Liu He ascended the throne, Zhang Wei began to intend to depose him.

Later, due to the other party's excessive debauchery, Zhang Wei, led by other ministers, directly deposed the emperor.

After deposing Liu He, Zhang Wei and Huo Guang discussed and decided to recall the emperor's grandson Liu Xun, who was raised among the people, back to the royal family.

The first 74 years.

Liu Xun was welcomed into the palace from the common people by Zhang Wei and Huo Guang.

He was first named Marquis of Yangwu and ascended the throne in July of the same year at the age of 7.

This is the end.

The Zhang family's position in the court remains solid.

The Zhang family is everywhere in the Han Dynasty.

Even if the court changes.

It has no impact on the Zhang family.

As long as the Zhang family continues to develop at this pace and follows the family motto, they will be committed to developing the family.

There shouldn't be any trouble.

After seeing that the other party ascended the throne and governed the Han Dynasty very well, Zhang Wei

He then handed over the power in his hands and devoted himself to developing the Zhang family.

The Zhang family became increasingly powerful in his hands.

Business houses in the south also became increasingly powerful.

Provided the Zhang family with a large amount of wealth.

Let the Zhang family operate normally.

Watching the Han and Zhang families becoming more and more powerful.

Zhang Wei finally had some leisure time.

Prepare to rest and recuperate.

The bones of his body are very strong.

He should be able to live a few decades longer.

After Dahan and the Zhang family settled down, he naturally had to devote himself to developing the Zhang family.

To reproduce offspring.

this day.

Zhang Wei exercised in his mansion as usual.

Zhang Xingmin hurried into Zhang Wei's residence.

"Brother, good news!"

Zhang Xingmin has witnessed Zhang Wei's performance over the years.

Zhang Xingmin had previously thought that Zhang Wei was planning to lead the Zhang family to usurp the throne.

He even ascended directly to the pinnacle and used the imperial power for his own benefit.

as time flows.

Only then did Zhang Xingmin understand Zhang Wei's painstaking efforts.

The relationship between the two brothers was restored. Zhang Xingmin still followed Zhang Wei's lead.

In recent years, he has been very obedient to Zhang Wei.

Nowadays, Zhang Wei has shifted his focus away from the court.

He also pays attention to people's livelihood from time to time, and this is what Zhang Xingmin admires as a brother.

Unfortunately.

It seemed as if his brother was cursed by God.

However, the offspring are not particularly prosperous.

After being married to my sister-in-law for so many years, there is only one big man.

As a younger brother, he naturally paid close attention to it.

Especially after seeing that his brother had no children, he tried every possible means and even asked Liu Xun to let the imperial physician treat Zhang Wei.

But the result is no exception.

Zhang Wei has no problem.

He couldn't ask the imperial physician to treat Zhou Ning.

Moreover, this brother is extremely caring towards his sister-in-law.

Naturally, there was no such thing as taking a concubine.

But today is different from the past.

His elder brother has already withdrawn from the court.

We can't keep losing offspring like this, can we?

He was traveling some time ago and suddenly heard that there was a family that was extremely good at having children.

There happened to be a big man in their family.

She is still unmarried.

Even matches his brother.

After he got the news, he rushed to Zhang Wei's residence without stopping, wanting to tell Zhang Wei the good news.

"How did you come?"

"Have you completed the task His Majesty assigned to you?"

"Has the news about Tianxia Restaurant been sorted out?"

When Zhang Wei saw Zhang Xingmin, the first thing he talked about was the Zhang family and the court.

Zhang Xingmin heard his brother say this.

His brows furrowed slightly.

Then he looked at Zhang Wei and said, "Brother, don't you worry about yourself?"

"A man of your age has already become a grandfather?"

"But what about you?"

"You don't even have a legitimate son. What should you do? You are the head of the Han family after all. Someone must inherit the Zhang family business in the future. How can you do that without an heir?"

"I was traveling some time ago and heard that there was a farmer who was very good at giving birth to children. He also had a daughter who was raising a child. If you are interested, brother..."

"Have you discussed this with others?"

Zhang Wei looked at Zhang Xingmin.

This is indeed a concern for him.

He really needed an heir.

The eldest son is also needed.

It’s strange, could it be because he manipulated Zhang Xingguo?

Although Zhang Xingguo has a very strong physique, his fertility is indeed not particularly strong.

Moreover, the imperial physician had already examined him and found no problem.

It's not just him.

Even Zhou Ning went to check it out.

There is no problem.

And this is the crux of the problem.

It seems that his lineage is destined to have few offspring.

Unlike Zhang Xingmin.

Zhang Xingmin got married on the same day as him.

After Zhang Xingmin got married, he brought concubines into the house one room after another.

Today, Zhang Xingmin is surrounded by his children and grandchildren.

He even has grandchildren.

Zhang Xingmin is not yet over 50 years old, but he has achieved such success.

The fertility is indeed quite impressive.

Zhang Wei looked at Zhang Xingmin.

If he had known this, he should have attached himself to Zhang Xingmin.

I feel a little regretful now, but it's too late.

Zhang Xingmin naturally noticed the expression on Zhang Wei's face.

Seeing his brother staring at him like this, Zhang Xingmin couldn't help but touch his nose.

"Of course it's settled."

"If you are interested, I will go talk to that family and ask them to send the man over."

He has made it clear to the other party.

Their big man wanted to be Zhang Wei's concubine.

Zhang Wei now has a wife.

There was no concubine in the room.

This is extremely rare for people of this era.

Not to mention someone as powerful as Zhang Wei.

When the family heard that Zhang Xingmin wanted their woman to be Zhang Wei's concubine, no one refused. Instead, they were all very happy and willing to make it happen.

At present, all that’s left is Zhang Wei’s nod.

Zhang Wei pondered for a while.

He really needs a legitimate eldest son now.

Now is not later.

If I don’t have any sons in the future, I can let Dahan inherit the family business.

But not now.

"Husband, please agree!"

At this moment, Zhou Ning suddenly walked over from the side.

Zhou Ning walked to Zhang Wei and bowed slightly to Zhang Xingmin. Zhang Xingmin quickly stood up from his seat and bowed to Zhou Ning.

"sister in law."

Zhou Ning nodded at Zhang Xingmin, then fixed her gaze on Zhang Wei.

There was a hint of guilt in her eyes.

She fell in love with Zhang Wei at first sight.

She had no regrets about being with Zhang Wei, but she had indeed not fulfilled her responsibilities as a wife over the years.

Zhang Wei made many concessions for her.

Not even a concubine.

If the two of them had a son, Zhang Wei would not be facing the dilemma he is facing now.

Zhang Xingmin now has a solution.

Of course she agreed.

"Then why did you come out?"

Zhang Wei looked at Zhou Ning walking towards him and frowned slightly.

"If I don't come, will you reject me?"

"These years have been enough. You need a legitimate eldest son. Don't insist on it any longer." Zhou Ning persuaded.

Zhang Wei looked at Zhou Ning deeply.

He said nothing.

He just stared at Zhou Ning.

To be honest, he actually had no feelings for Zhou Ning.

Although he controlled Zhang Xingguo.

But he wasn't the one who fell in love with her.

The person in the same room was not him.

If Zhang Xingguo insisted on not taking concubines, there was nothing he could do.

Only if the owner of this body gives in, can he have those concubines legitimately.

Therefore, Zhang Wei now sees Zhou Ning compromise.

After careful consideration, he decided to agree to Zhang Xingmin's proposal.

Zhang Xingguo naturally also feels pressured.

He is now the head of the Zhang family.

If there was no eldest son, the Zhang family would definitely fall into chaos.

The Zhang family has worked hard to build their current foundation, and they cannot allow any misfortune to occur because of him.

Faced with Zhang Xingmin's proposal, Zhang Wei just thought about it for a moment and agreed.

After Zhang Xingmin saw that Zhang Wei agreed.

A smile also appeared on his face.

"Don't worry, brother. I will make sure everything is arranged for you."

After Zhang Xingmin finished speaking, he stood up, bowed to Zhou Ning, and then hurriedly left Zhang Wei's mansion.

Soon after.

Zhang Wei then took several concubines.

After these concubines entered the mansion, his lineage did receive some attention.

And his newly married concubine was indeed a fertile woman.

Zhang Xingmin was afraid that this person was just spreading rumors, so when this person entered the mansion, he also gave Zhang Wei a beautiful concubine.

Zhang Wei accepted all the orders.

After Zhang Xingguo's hard work.

All of these people finally became pregnant.

After learning that they were pregnant, Zhang Wei was naturally very happy.

His offspring progress chart hasn't been updated for a long time, and he really needs to develop his network now.

However, only those born to the wife can be counted as childbearing progress.

He has no choice now.

The only way is to increase the number of offspring first.

As for the progress of the system.

We can only take our time.

Just as Zhang Wei was waiting for the arrival of new life.

There is some bad news coming out from the south. (End of this chapter)
