Chapter 294 The decision of the Wang family
Although Wang Qingyun is often in Chang'an, he will return to Jinyang to live for a period of time every year.
However, there was no situation where he was stopped by a house slave and couldn't enter the door.
Wang Qingyun returned to the ancestral home of the Wang family, and after multiple notifications, he finally met Wang Yuan, the head of the Wang family.
Wang Yuan looked at Wang Qingyun and said, "You are Wang Ze's son Wang Qingyun?"
There are hundreds of thousands of members of the Wang clan.
It is impossible for Wang Yuan to meet everyone. Although Wang Ze has some status in the Wang family, Wang Yuan really has no impression of Wang Qingyun.
Wang Qingyun nodded again and again, and said respectfully: "The head of the Hui clan is the grandson of the clan."
Wang Yuan nodded and asked, "You said that Wang Ze asked you to come back because he had something important to report. Tell me, what happened?"
Wang Qingyun explained in detail the cooperation between the Cui family and Lin Xuan in the paper business.
After speaking, Wang Qingyun secretly looked at Wang Yuan, wanting to see how he would react.
However, after listening to Wang Yuan, he only frowned slightly, and he was not as furious as Wang Qingyun thought.
Wang Yuan is 68 years old and has been the head of the royal family for more than 20 years.
After experiencing the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he has already cultivated the determination to deal with things calmly.
Although the paper business can earn a lot of money for the Wang family, but the Wang family has deep roots, even if it loses the paper business, it will not matter to the Wang family.
What he considered was the intention of the Cui family to do so.
Could it be that the Cui family and the royal family have reached a cooperation?
Thinking of this, Wang Yuan was startled.
But soon, Wang Yuan dispelled this idea.
Li Shimin wanted to destroy the heart of the family, and it was impossible for the Cui family to cooperate with the royal family.
After a while, Wang Yuan came back to his senses and said: "You have been traveling for days, it's hard work. Go down and rest first. Let this matter be considered by the old man."
"Yes!" Wang Qingyun bowed and retreated.
"Come on!" Wang Yuan shouted.
"What is the master's order?"
The butler of the Wang family opened the door and walked in.
Wang Yuan said lightly: "Send someone to call back all the principals in Jinyang."
"Yes!"
Not everyone in the Wang family lives in the ancestral home.
At night, no matter where they lived or not, as long as they were in Jinyang, all the main members of the Wang family returned to the family house.
In the Wang family hall, there are more than 20 people sitting upright, all aged between forty and sixty or seventy.
"I have seen the master!"
When Wang Yuan entered the hall, everyone hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Wang Yuan waved his hand and said, "Sit down."
After Wang Yuan sat down, he said to the housekeeper, "There is martial law around the hall, no one is allowed to approach."
"Yes!" The butler led the servants back out and closed the hall door.
"The Patriarch summoned us all, did something serious happen?" Wang Yuan's second brother Wang Kuan asked.
Wang Yuan looked around the crowd and said, "The Cui family and Lin Xuan have reached a cooperation to run the paper business."
"what!"
"This is impossible."
"That's right, how is this possible."
Everyone couldn't believe it when they heard the news.
Wang Yuan said indifferently: "This matter is true. The old man called you here just to hear your opinions on this matter."
"There is an agreement between our five surnames that we are not allowed to get involved in the main industries of each family. The Cui family obviously violated the agreement." Wang Kuan said angrily.
"Yes, not only did the Cui family breach the contract, they simply didn't take my Wang family seriously."
"This matter must be explained by the Cui family."
For a while, the hall was full of condemnation.
Wang Yuan said: "What you said makes sense, but have you considered why the Cui family did this?"
"This..." Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
Wang Kuan hesitated and said, "Is it because the Cui family is jealous of paper profits? After all, the Cui family's salt business was robbed by the court."
Wang Yuan shook his head, the Cui family's private salt business, although being squeezed by the court, could no longer continue.
But the Cui family smuggled a large amount of salt, and their income was no worse than before.
And for the few of them, there is no shortage of wealth.
Cui's move must have deep meaning.
"Father, the Cui family has joined the royal family, right?" Wang Yuan's son Wang Duo said.
"The royal family has the heart of extinct family. The Cui family is the first family. What's the benefit of doing this?" Wang Yuan shook his head and said.
"Patriarch, what do you think the Cui family's move is?" Wang Kuan asked.
Wang Yuan said: "The old man also just got the news, the situation is unknown now, and I can't guess it."
He summoned people, originally to brainstorm, and then it didn't work at all.
Wang Yuan pondered for a while, then said: "Second brother, you set off tomorrow, go to Cui's house and ask what they want to do."
Wang Kuan said hesitantly: "Patriarch, since the Cui family has done this, they must have already figured out how to deal with my Wang family's questioning. It shouldn't be of any use to come to the door like this, right?"
Wang Yuan said: "Whether the Cui family will give an explanation or not, they will come to the door to question. This represents the attitude of the Wang family."
Wang Yuan's decision is the same as Wang Ze's finding several other families to question Cui Lingyun.
In any case, the attitude must be expressed.
Otherwise, others would think that the Wang family was afraid of the Cui family.
"Yes!" Wang Kuan replied.
"Father, I think that Lin Xuan is a disaster. He is the royal dog's leg." Wang Duo said bitterly.
Wang Yuan's eyes flashed, and he said: "Yes, he is a disaster, and he will become a trouble in the future."
Wang Duo was taken aback, and asked, "What does dad mean?"
Wang Yuan said with a blank face, "Since we know that it will be a trouble in the future, we should get rid of it as soon as possible."
"Father, I understand." Wang Duo said excitedly.
Wang Kuan said in surprise: "Patriarch, that's Chang'an, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to do this?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Don't say that Li Shimin can't find evidence, even if he knows that my Wang family did it, so what? Could it be that he dared to destroy my Wang family?" Wang Yuan said.
When Li Yuan raised troops in Jinyang, the situation was unclear.The Wang family secretly funded a large amount of money.
Later, the Li family became powerful, and the five surnames and seven Wangs agreed together to support the Li family in winning the world.
After Li Yuan won the world, although he did not treat the family badly, Wang Yuan was not satisfied.
You must know that the Wang family was the first to support Li Yuan, and they paid more than the other families.
But after the Li family got the world, the treatment of the Wang family was no different from that of the other families.
Later, the Wang family secretly supported Li Shimin, and several other families also followed to support Li Shimin.
However, after Li Shimin got the world, he not only failed to benefit the family, but began to suppress the family.
You know, when Li Yuan raised his troops and invited him to Tang Guogong's mansion, Li Shimin was only in his teens, and he even worshiped him as his nephew.
It has always been a pain in Wang Yuan's heart to be swayed by Li Shimin as a child.
It was he who proposed that women with five surnames should not marry into the royal family.
It can be seen the hatred of the royal family in Wang Yuan's heart.
Seeing what Wang Yuan said, Wang Kuan didn't say anything more.
"Duo'er, how are you doing with the imperial examination?" Wang Yuan asked.
Wang Duo said: "Father, it has been arranged a long time ago. A total of more than 1000 people have been arranged to take part in the imperial examinations in the counties around Taiyuan. In order not to give anyone any trouble, my Wang family only accounts for [-]% of the quota of [-] children in each county. According to the regulations, after two more people, it's time to release the list."
The county test only takes one day and one night, but the test papers are reviewed and the rankings are determined.It will be released after three days.
Wang Yuan nodded, and said with a sneer, "Li Shimin thought that this would solve the monopoly of the aristocratic family in the officialdom. It's ridiculous. Those untouchables can't even afford books, so they still want to be officials?"
He didn't worry about others' criticism at all, and those who passed the Tongsheng exam were all from the Wang family.
The Wang family is an aristocratic family with a large number of scholars. It is strange that there are more children in the exam.
