Chapter 37 Prisoner (I)

For the Zheng clans who were waiting for the results outside the ancestral temple, the sudden change in the ancestral temple was beyond everyone's expectations.

I originally thought there would be a long quarrel, but in just half an hour, everything fell into the ground.

The Sixth House continued to take charge of Anyuan Hall, and the Zheng family of the Southern Zu was included in the name of the Sixth House, which also made the sixth House Anyuan Hall, which was in turmoil since the death of Master Zheng, suddenly gained unprecedented stability. Annexation of the Southern Zu was not only the huge wealth brought by the Zheng family of the Southern Zu, but more importantly, the two quotas of the elders in the hands of the Zheng family of the Southern Zu were included in the Anyuan Hall.

Zheng Renji may not be able to fully control the Zheng Wei brothers, but An Yuantang has obtained five ranks of elders, which has surpassed the Jingtang and became the one with the largest number of elders in the entire Zheng family. In the future, as long as there are issues related to the interests of the six houses, the power of these five ranks will have a huge impact on the entire Zheng family.

At least, within three generations, Anyuan Hall is as stable as a rock.

After these twists and turns, Zheng Shanyuan's control over the clan's elders' association was reduced by most.

Zheng Shi'an became the elder of the clan and replaced Zheng Dashi in the position of the clan elders, which was beyond the expectations of most people.

A person who is incomplete and from a family slave actually entered the clan’s elders’ club in a noble way?

You may feel dissatisfied, but you must accept this fact. Everyone clearly realizes that Zheng Shi'an, who entered the clan elders' meeting, is no longer a disabled elderly person who can secretly discuss or even curse in private.

He has surpassed most of the Zheng family's children and became the eighteen major figures who can manipulate the life and death of the clan.

"Brother Zheng, congratulations!"

The Zheng Wei brothers followed Zheng Renji and met Zheng Shi'an in the market.

The two of them came forward intimately to say hello, and after a moment of surprise, Zheng Shian quickly adjusted his mood and returned the gifts repeatedly.

When Zheng Yanqing told Zheng Shi'an that he wanted to send him to the Old Clan Association, Zheng Shi'an treated him as a joke.

However, twenty-five days later, he actually became the 18th clan elder in this clan's old club, as if he was dreaming. While greeting Zheng Renji, Zheng Wei and others, he secretly looked at Zheng Yanqing who was playing with Zheng Hongyi next to him. Not only Zheng Shi'an was observing Yanqing, but also secretly looked at Yanqing, including Zheng Renji's brothers.

How did this kid do it?

Before Zheng Wei made the decision, Zheng Renji didn't know Zheng Wei's choice at all.

Although he looked calm in the ancestral temple, in fact, the moment Zheng Wei announced that he had been included in the name of the Sixth House, Zheng Renji thought he had heard it wrong. Fortunately, after he took over Anyuantang, he faced a crisis and baptism.

Jung In-ki today is very different from Jung In-ki a few months ago.

When he looked at Yan Qing, his father, Dashi Zheng, had his words before his death.

"Renji, you are not calm enough. If you want to take over the six houses, you are not at ease to be a father. You have to make your own decisions in the future. But one thing is that you must remember: you must win over Zheng Shi'an, even if you treat him with the courtesy of your father. At the beginning, I wanted to hold Yan Qing and be a helper for Hongyi. Now it seems that that kid is not a thing in the pool. However, as long as you win over Zheng Shi'an, you will hold him.

Even if that kid seeks benefits for Zheng Shi'an... Remember, we will benefit in the end.

So, since you can't suppress him, you might as well help him. As long as the child is here, I can sit in Anyuan Hall."

At that time, Jung In-ki disagreed.

Then when Zheng Yanqing was granted the title of Yunqiwei and was appointed as the commander of the master Sun Sheng, he understood the meaning of Zheng Dashi's words.

Yan Qing's road has become wider and wider, and it is no longer a Zheng family that can be bound by it.

Since he can't be bound, let go and support him! When Yan Qing asked Zheng Weishan to convey his meaning to Anyuantang, Zheng Renji didn't believe that Yan Qing could be resurrected. But he wanted to try it, so just give it a try.

Anyway, the situation has been extremely bad, can it be even worse?

But Zheng Yanqing once again surprised Zheng Renji...

He actually did it, and the methods were so brilliant, even so brilliant that even Zheng Renji couldn't see clearly.

How did Yan Qing convince Nanzu Zheng and change his mind?

How did he persuade Choi Zhiren to come forward and make Zheng Shanguo come to the door?

All these questions cannot withstand the shock in the ancestral temple today. Even Zheng Yuanshou stood on Yan Qing's side?

"Brother Zheng, I heard that you have a good relationship with the Zhang family in Wuxian?"

Zheng Wei asked a tentative question, which immediately attracted Zheng Renji's attention.

Zheng Shi'an said: "I have some business dealings with Zhang Sanlang. If you want to say something good, Xiao Sun and Sanlang are close."

Zheng Wei was stunned for a moment and looked up at Zheng Yanqing.

Zhang Sanlang... He keenly realized that Zheng Shi'an's name for Zhang Zhongjian was filled with an elder-like pride.

Now Zhang Zhongjian is in the south, a generation of tycoons.

He controlled most of the silk brocades in Jiangnan and mastered more than 70% of the cane fields. More importantly, Zhang Zhongjian had the secret method of sugar and rock sugar. He was backed by the emperor's trust in the Zhang family and had a lot of funds, making him faintly become the number one rich merchant in Jiangnan. The Zheng family of Nanzu, who declined after the Five Dynasties, has long been worse than before.

If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have thought of returning to the clan.

When Zheng Wei thought of this, he immediately thought of having a good relationship with Zheng Shi'an.

His Zheng family is rich in the south, but compared with the Zhang family, it is obvious that the gap is very big.

"Zheng Wei, what do you mean?"

Just as Zheng Wei was thinking about how to get along with Zheng Shi'an, an angry voice came, and Zheng Shizhe ran out of the market and restaurant and rushed to Zheng Wei, "Why did you change the things you had said before?"

Of course Zheng Shize was angry!

In order to win over Zheng Wei, he gave up a place for a clan elder.

Now, the entry into Anyuan Hall has become a vain, and he has also paid a quota for a clan elder in vain. He has paid a lot of money...

Zheng Wei looked up and smiled, "Nephew Shi Ze, since you asked, I might as well make it clear.

Since my Zheng family moved south, although they have to return to their ancestors, their foundation is in the south of the Yangtze River. In the south of the Yangtze River, I am not the only one who can dominate it.”

“So what?”

"The Zhang family in Wuxian promised to give up the sugar fields of Xin'an and Xuancheng counties, and share the interests of the sugar business of these two counties equally with me."

"ah?"

"The condition is that I want to join the Sixth Room."

Zheng Wei looked calm and seemed to be ashamed of remorse. In fact, after the Five Dynasties of the Southern Ancestor, the Zheng family focused on developing business. Now their business has reached a bottleneck stage and new stimulus points are needed to develop and grow.

Xuancheng County and Xin'an County are approximately equivalent to the Jiangxi area in later generations.

These areas are most suitable for planting sugarcane fields, but Zheng Wei had many difficulties in obtaining the fields here. At this time, Zhang Zhongjian came over. Zhang Zhongjian discussed with Zheng Wei and joined forces to develop sugarcane fields in two counties, which made the Zheng family overjoyed.

Zheng Wei said: "Shize, I am a businessman. I will cooperate with whoever can bring benefits to me.

It is very obvious that you contacted me from the beginning and did not bring me any benefits. Apart from the titles of two clan elders... I have been in the south for many years, so what is the use of asking for the reputation of this clan elder? But when I joined forces with the Sixth House, I gained both fame and fortune.

You can laugh at our tyrants or my vulgarity. But I want to tell you that the world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. If the ancients were like this, what's wrong with me? So, I can only say sorry to you."

Jung In-ki was happy.

Zheng Wei will not live in Xingyang for a long time, which is a good thing for him and will help him better control Anyuantang.

Zheng Shi was so angry that his face turned red and pointed at Zheng Wei, unable to speak for a long time.

At this time, Zheng Shanyuan took Zheng Shiji and others bypassed by, stopped Zheng Shize's words from silence, and then smiled: "Brother Renji, it's indeed a good method... And Uncle Zheng, congratulations on entering the clan's elders' meeting. I would like to ask you to worry about the future development of the Zheng family."

He looked like a Pili Yangqiu, and after he finished speaking, he took the people away.

Zheng Shi'an woke up very much. Zheng Shanyuan's words meant to be sowed and disagree.

So as soon as Zheng Shanyuan left, he said, "Nephew Renji, the matter in Xingyang has been settled now, and it is not very meaningful for me to stay here. Moreover, Yan Qing also wants to continue studying. I think that in a few days, I will return to Luoyang with Yan Qing.

As for the farm in Gong County, I will send someone to take care of it after I return to Luoyang."

I don’t fight for power with you, nor do I intend to replace your Anyuantang zongfang status. I am already satisfied with the title of a clan elder.

So, I left Xingyang.

Zheng Yanqing has been paying attention to the movement here. When he heard Zheng Shi'an say this, he couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up and praise him.

Grandpa did not get carried away because of his identity.

On the contrary, he was very clear and knew how to use advance as a retreat. When he returned to Luoyang, he was justified by Yan Qing's thoughts. At the same time, he also expressed his attitude and dispelled Zheng Renji's concerns. It turns out that he is a mature person. Although Zheng Shi'an is not very capable, his ability to observe words and look at people's hearts is far higher than that of others. Zheng Yanqing nodded gently.

Jung In-ki was relieved.

Zheng Shanyuan's words really made him feel scruples.

However, Zheng Shi'an's statement made him immediately dispel his concerns. You respect me one foot, and I respect you one foot. Zheng Renji is very clear about this principle. Since people have made it clear that they will take him as the lord of Anyuan Hall, then Zheng Renji must also make some statements. After all, Anyuan Hall can survive the crisis this time, but it depends entirely on the efforts of the grandparents and grandchildren of the Zheng family.

"Yanqing's future is a big deal, and it is also the right thing for his uncle to return to Luoyang.

Now Yan Qingbao is under the disciple of General Changsun, and he really needs to stay in Luoyang. But his uncle wants to let go and hide from leisure, but he cannot. So, my nephew asks his uncle to manage the industry in Luoyang. The old soldiers there respect their uncle, and they are much better than being kind... Just now, the general told me privately that he is about to step down as General of the Right Martial Arts, and His Majesty wants to give him the position of Yong'an Prefect. He is not young anymore and has good martial arts. If he stays in Luoyang, he would be a little talented, so I want him to go with the general."
