Chapter 63 Jinsha Xu Family! I Also Want to Rise

…

The Changning Huangfu family is a family with a history of 500 years.

As early as when Changning Guard was first built, the Changning Huangfu family migrated from Monan County. In the early days of land reclamation, he made many meritorious deeds and made many contributions.

Of course, those who migrated here were branches of the famous Monan Huangfu clan, not their own clan.

The Huangfu family of Monan County takes animal taming and breeding on the prairie as its pillar industry.

That's why.

The branch of the Changning Huangfu family also has excellent breeding technology.

This is also normal.

There are many family relationships in this world, and they are all intricate and complex.

Families with real casual cultivators starting from scratch are not only rare in number, they are usually not even of high grade.

Sometimes a seemingly inconspicuous small family may even trace its roots to a certain Zifu family if traced back.

Daqian State has been in existence for a long time, with a history of more than 7,000 years.

The migration of family branches is an extremely complex and epic story.

today.

Changning Huangfu arranged a night banquet. It was almost dusk and the sky was getting dark. But the lights on both sides of the street were already burning, shining like daylight.

This is also Huangfu's way of showing off his financial strength. Just burning these lights is a huge expense.

The main residence of the Huangfu family was a high-class residence, and ordinary people could not even reach the door without permission.

The main house wall is comparable to a city wall, like a city within a city.

The towering courtyard walls are made of bluestone. Five hundred years of vicissitudes of life have left mottled marks on the bluestone bricks. Through the stone bricks, it seems that one can vaguely glimpse the ups and downs of the Changning Huangfu family in the past five hundred years.

Towering sentry towers stand at the four corners of the courtyard wall, and exquisite copper bells hang under the eaves.

These copper bells have octagonal edges on the outside, so they cannot be blown by the wind. They are also engraved with exquisite patterns on the surface, making them look very special.

At the beginning, the Monan Huangfu clan relied on their superb beast control skills to establish themselves on the prairie. Their magic weapon, the Octagonal Dragon Soul Bell, was famous throughout Daqian.

These copper bells are imitation octagonal dragon soul bells, which symbolize that the Changning Huangfu family never forgets the protection of their ancestors.

The main house was already brightly lit at this moment. Countless servants came and went, busy making final preparations and confirming various preparation details over and over again.

Under their background, even buildings with a long history seem to have a little more vitality and new vitality.

There is no endless traffic at the entrance of the main house, but it is very quiet.

After all, the Huangfu family only invited some major figures from the eighth-grade family and Changning Wei this time.

For example, the city lord of the city capital. The money manager of Qian's Trading Company, or the brains of some large commercial organizations, etc.

There are only a dozen or so people who are eligible to be invited.

"Mrs. Ji, brother Anbang, brother Shouzhe" Huangfu Jinhuan dressed in formal attire personally greeted the guests. Seeing Wang Shouzhe, Xu Anbang and Mrs. Ji getting out of the carriage together, there was no displeasure at all.

Instead, he had a smile on his face and was very polite.

Wang Shouzhe and Xu Anbang naturally chatted and socialized with Huangfu Jinhuan politely. They seemed to be old friends for many years, cordial and warm.

As the invited party, he was also presented with a gift list that was in line with the family's character.

It was as if there had never been any bad blood before, and the two sides had never fought each other to the death in the mall.

This is the superficial harmony among the families of Daqian Kingdom.

Never mind that they compete with each other or even fight with each other because of something in private.

But as long as they don't break their skin publicly, on the surface this set of things should be maintained.

This is different from the situation between the Wang family and the Liu family and the Zhao family back then. Back then, the Wang family and them were almost at odds with each other, and there was no room for change.

The place where Huangfu held the night banquet was in the main hall of the front courtyard.

As they exchanged warm greetings, they kept inquiring about information and so on.

Guests have arrived one after another.

Among them, the city lord Xiahou Hongde, and Zifu's direct disciple Fang Youan. They were all greeted and entertained personally by Hua Ye, the ancestor of the Huangfu family.

These are the rules and regulations that apply everywhere. Different levels of cultivation and status will lead to different status. Ancestor Hua Ye personally welcomed and entertained them. This was the proper etiquette and rule.

As for the group of core disciples from Zifu Academy, they all followed Fang Youan and sat on the chief seat.

After all, they are all core disciples, and there is a high possibility that they will become monks in the Heavenly Realm and serve in the Zifu Academy in the future.

Wang Shouzhe and other representatives of the eighth-grade aristocratic families were placed at the second seat, accompanied by Huangfu Jinhuan himself.

This was the first time that Wang Shouzhe met Ancestor Hua Ye.

Because he has practiced the "Red Dragon True Art" to a relatively advanced level, Patriarch Hua Ye's hair is as red as fire. He looks energetic and has a natural domineering aura.

No wonder.

Ancestor Hua Ye is the third generation ancestor of the Celestial Being Huangfu family, and his qualifications once reached the second-level middle grade. And it is said that when he was about one hundred and forty years old, he was promoted to the heavenly realm.

Compared with those in the Academy, such as Fang Youan, who is a prodigy, is naturally inferior. But if he were placed among the core disciples, he would be among the best.

It was precisely because of his rapid promotion that the Celestial Being Huangfu clan had been around for nearly sixty years, and there was once a period when one or two Celestial beings were at their peak.

During that period, the Huangfu family was so suppressed that even the Heavenly Man and the Lei family could not hold their heads high.

It's a pity that the good times did not last long.

Seventy years ago, the ancestor of the previous generation of the Huangfu family passed away at the age of more than 370 years old, and the momentum of the Huangfu family slowed down.

Various reasons also developed the spirit of Patriarch Hua Ye.

Ancestor Hua Ye, who has never suffered a lot in his life, has a strong sense of confidence in his words and deeds. Even when facing a genius like Fang Youan, he still talks and laughs calmly.

"Brother You'an." Ancestor Hua Ye sighed with emotion, "Your master, Master Binglan, is one of the masters that I, Huangfu Hua Ye, admire the most. Not only is his strength extraordinary, but also I, Longzuo County, am even one of the pillars of the whole country, and my character is also top-notch. I also heard that she has hope of further advancement."

Fang You'an raised his hands in a gentle voice and said: "Senior Huangfu is ridiculous. My master often said, 'The road is long and long, and I will search up and down.' 'Compared with the vast way of heaven, she is just a small person. A toddler.’ And stuff like that.”

The city lord Xiahou Hongde who was accompanying him laughed loudly and said: "Brother You'an is joking, but he is too modest. If the famous Master Binglan is just a toddler, then I can't even learn the language. Didn’t do it.”

Fang Youan smiled gently and did not make a rebuttal.

Those words certainly sounded like Master Binglan's self-effacement, but he also knew that as a direct descendant of the academy. The ideals for the future and the responsibilities on the shoulders are different from those of these local powerful people.

But even so, he will not underestimate any local powerful.

He is also from a noble family, and he clearly understands that the Daqian Kingdom is composed of noble families.

Every aristocratic family is the cornerstone of Daqian and the cradle of a steady stream of talents.

And whether it is the ancestor Hua Ye or the city lord Xiahou Hongde, those who have reached this point are by no means simple people.

Subsequently.

The banquet begins.

In the Huangfu family, which has more than a hundred generals and a thousand servants, many maids are carefully selected.

They served delicious and high-end spiritual food one after another, as well as various rare spiritual wines, making the atmosphere warm all of a sudden.

…

But at the same time.

There is a remote town in Changningwei called Jinsha Town.

This is a barren land, with a total population of less than 10,000 for decades.

There is only one small ninth-grade aristocratic family in this town - the Xu family of Jinsha regards this as their base camp.

In addition to the mulberry fields that are very difficult to cultivate, and the production of raw silk to supply the Xu family in Changning.

The biggest industry here is still gold mining, which produces small amounts of gold year after year.

Compared to its heyday.

The current gold output in Jinsha Town is very low, which can only sustain the lives of some local civilians and the Jinsha Xu family. It is extremely difficult to develop on this basis.

It can be inferred from this.

The Jinsha Xu family is not a powerful family.

But it is a family that has a very close relationship with the Ping An Wang family.

In recent years, there have been quite frequent intermarriages between the two parties. Just like Wang Luojing and Wang Shounuo's mother Xu Zhirou, that gentle and intelligent woman came from the Jinsha Xu family. She took care of Wang Shouzhe and Wang Luoyi for a long time when they were young.

The second brother Wang Shouyi's wife is also a straight woman from the Xu family in Jinsha. She gave birth to the little genius Wang Zongsheng who is currently studying in Zifu Academy, as well as Wang Zongyao and Wang Lilian who are currently still young.

Wang Shouzhe's eldest sister Wang Luomei and second sister Wang Luohe also married into the Jinsha Xu family. In the Jinsha Xu family, they all had children of their own, giving Wang Shouzhe many nephews and nieces.

This situation seemed like two poor and low-income families hugging each other for warmth. But because of this, the relationship between the two parties is relatively deep, and the exchanges are also very close.

Fortunately, in recent years, Jinsha Xu's life has suddenly become much better.

The sand with extremely low gold content was originally useless waste, and the river banks and river channels were full of garbage.

But now, those "wastes" suddenly become useful.

With the large-scale use of Changningwei cement, the price of river sand has repeatedly risen. In particular, the Ping An Wang family had to use a large amount of river sand whether they were building cement roads, cement embankments, or other basic projects.

Just supplying the Ping'an Wang family has made Jinsha Xu's life much more comfortable than before. In addition, they also supply high-quality river sand to areas such as Tokaiwei.

Jinsha Town seemed to suddenly become a real Jinsha Town.

With the gradual improvement of the economy and the influx of hired workers, the total population of Jinsha Town has reached 12,000 or 3,000. I heard that they are still absorbing refugees recently.

now.

Jinsha Xu Family has once again ushered in a great opportunity for development and rise.

Because Jinsha Town is crisscrossed by waterways and the river beaches are wide and mostly gravel, places suitable for building water conservancy workshops can be found everywhere.

Longzuo County's silk technology already has a complete set of skilled processes, from planting mulberry and raising silkworms to reeling raw cocoons into silk, and finally weaving them into plain silk.

However, this set of processes requires a lot of labor and time in both reeling and weaving.

Over the years, Wang Shouzhe and his eldest brother Wang Shouxin have continuously developed and improved silk reeling and textile technology.

If you ask Wang Shouzhe to draw a complete drawing, of course he won't be able to draw it even if you kill him. He even has only a partial understanding of some principles.

But there is a lot of scattered knowledge in the previous life, and a very clear direction. After combining the wisdom of everyone, they finally created a relatively rudimentary waterwheel-powered silk reeling machine and a waterwheel-powered textile machine.

Basic inventions and creations are not difficult. What is difficult is mainly a direction and idea. As long as you explore and continuously improve along the direction and idea, you can eventually take shape.

(In terms of invention, Lao Ao has more say than other authors. After all, Lao Ao also has his own invention patent, which has been put into production and made a profit...)

The so-called water wheel power structure looks very simple, it is a reduced version and variant of the large water dragon formation.

Prior to this, the reeling technology used pedal reeling machines. One person and one cart can reel three hammers of raw silk at the same time.

However, the current water-powered reeling car can drive hundreds of spindles at the same time, realizing the separation of human and hammer. Only about ten reelers can run this water-powered reeling car.

Compared with the pedal reeling machine, not only the per capita output is ten times higher, but the raw silk produced is smoother and more delicate.

At the same time, the driving principle of water-powered textile machines is the same. It just made further improvements in the textile structure. Although Wang Shouzhe didn't know, how different was the shape of this thing from the vague Jenny loom in his memory?

But there is no doubt that its production efficiency is far greater than that of ordinary foot-operated textile machines.

As long as there is sufficient water, it can operate day and night with only a small amount of manual assistance.

Leave aside construction costs and manufacturing costs.

Once the water-powered textile machine is put into operation, the production efficiency will be terrifyingly high.

The unit labor efficiency is about forty times that of a pedal loom.

Moreover, the silk reeling car and the textile machine were not purely wooden structures. Wang Shouxin ordered the blacksmith to build many mechanical structures.

Especially some of the most critical core parts even used weapon refiners! !

This also makes these two mechanical structures relatively stable and can be used for a long time as long as they are properly maintained.

Based on various advantages.

Xu Anze, the patriarch of the Jinsha Xu clan, has been so excited recently that he can't sleep at all.

He was guarding the construction site day and night, because he knew that once it started operations, it would be the day when the Jinsha Xu family would rise. As long as they are given twenty or thirty years, they may be able to attack the eighth-grade aristocratic family.

Even if it was just the lowest level of the three-party cooperation, the original processing unit, he believed that the Xu family of Changning and the Wang family of Ping An would not treat them badly.

After all, one is the main lineage, and the other is a very close in-law family.

Moreover, Wang Shouzhe, the head of the Wang family, is also a very generous family head to his allies.

But Xu Anze knows that if he wants to rise, he still has to overcome a difficulty.

Night is falling!

Several gray shadows appeared on Jinsha Xu's territory. They stood on the high ground and looked at the cement-shaped workshop from a distance, with a hint of coldness and murderous intent in their eyes.
