"It's easy to say, for people in Xuanyuan Hill, no matter which family, if the family really has no descendants, they can just adopt an adopted son from the same clan. If there is really no clan, outsiders will know it.
There are a lot of people coming to the door. The continuation of the incense is a family matter. For those who have no heirs, as long as the adoptive son is naturalized, he will be the same as his biological son. Anyone who interferes will offend the public. In this way, after the old man is gone,
If a stepson or adopted son inherits the land and real estate in Xuanyuan Hill, who will spit out the meat in a silly manner?"
"Just like Liu Laizi on our street, who was injured as a child and couldn't have children and couldn't marry a wife. At that time, a bunch of relatives from the Liu family came from Zhongzhou to compete with each other to adopt their children to Liu Laizi.
A bunch of people from the Liu family almost started to take action over this matter, because Liu Ciezi chose one of his cousins to be his stepson, and that cousin treats Liu Ciezi better than his biological father, so Liu Ciezi will not have to worry about how he will support himself in his old age."
"If this is the case, wouldn't it be possible for many families to use the name of adopting adopted sons and stepsons to bring many outsiders to Xuanyuan Hill for naturalization, so that those adopted sons and stepsons can enjoy the many conditions and opportunities in Xuanyuan Hill?" Zhang Tie
asked curiously.
"This was indeed the case hundreds of years ago. I heard that there was indeed a period of time in Xuanyuan Hill where many families would have several stepsons and adopted children. There were as many as ten or twenty stepsons and adopted children. They were said to be adopted children.
Stepchildren are actually the children of brothers, sisters or relatives at home. As a result, the school in Xuanyuan Hill was overcrowded. Later, there was no other way. The court issued a strict order that stepsons and stepdaughters adopted by non-executed heirs were not allowed to be naturalized. Executed heirs
Only one person can adopt stepsons and stepdaughters, and he can stop the trend of adopting stepsons and stepdaughters in Xuanyuan Hill!"
Zhang Tiel was delighted, "Hahaha, I didn't expect such a thing to happen in Xuanyuan Hill!"
"No, anyway, there was no ban at the beginning. Everyone is taking advantage of this loophole, and other people are doing it. If you don't do it, wouldn't you be stupid? Is there really a close relative in the family who has come to you to ask for help?
You’re busy, how many people can afford to have such a straight face!”
What Lao Zhou said made Zhang Tie speechless. Indeed, this cannot be blamed on others being too cunning. People are clever. Since there is a ready-made way to send their children to Xuanyuan Hill, they can enjoy the first-class educational resources and resources of the entire human race.
There are various opportunities and conditions, and those with connections will only look for opportunities like this.
However, Xuanyuanzhiqiu's prohibition only partially closed this loophole. For those who are truly extinct and adopt children to inherit their family property, there is no other way. They can only turn a blind eye, because this is the Chinese ethnic group.
The traditions and customs of the world are just like this. The land in Xuanyuan Hill has become more and more valuable, with more being given out and less being collected. In addition to the Taixia royal family, which probably still has some mobile land in their hands,
It is naturally extremely difficult for others to squeeze into the circle of Xuanyuan Hill. The standards and threshold for entering Xuanyuan Hill are getting higher and higher.
He has made a lot of contributions in the Diyuan world, but he only obtained land outside Xuanyuan Hill. You can imagine how difficult it would be for others to enter Xuanyuan Hill. No wonder Bai Suxian said that the wealthy nobles of Taixia are only divided into two.
The first type is for those who can squeeze into the circle of Xuanyuan Hill, and the second type is for those outside this circle. It seems to be quite reasonable.
Zhang Tie pointed to a painting boat passing by on the river, "Then what's going on with the painting boat on the river? Could it be that there is such a business of engaging in romantic business in Xuanyuan Hill!"
"Hehe. In Xuanyuan Hill, such fashions are not allowed to go ashore. This is a rule left over for hundreds of years, and it is also a feature of Xuanyuan Hill. These painted boats can enter the Jinshui River in Xuanyuan Hill during the day.
In the evening, they all drove to the three major lakes. Mr. Cui, don't look at that small boat. It's just a small business. This boat is on the Jinshui River. It's not enough to make a day's worth of gold. It's famous.
The louder pillars and the painted boat supported by the oiran are a business of gold and silver. Those who can go to the painted boat are either rich or noble people. They treat gold coins like dirt as soon as they are sold.
Those who run this kind of business are more or less related to the big shots who live in the Imperial City. Without such a background, such a painting boat cannot be driven on the Jinshui River..."
"Is there anyone in the Imperial City involved in such a business?"
"Those who can settle down in Xuanyuan Hill, no matter how high they are, are not followed by a large number of family members, subordinates and clans. These people need to eat and drink, and they also spend a lot of money on Xuanyuan Hill. A family
To maintain dignity and move around, doesn't it all cost money? Even if a person's salary in the Imperial City is several thousand dan a year, there may be tens of thousands of people waiting to spend the salary.
Although it is not good news to hear about the romantic business of painting boats, it is still a legal business, and you can make a lot of money, and you can also collect some information. Naturally, those decent families in the emperor's imperial city do not need their own people to come out.
To run this business publicly, you only need a trustworthy manager to come forward, find an agent, and hide behind the scenes, you can handle the matter properly. A large amount of gold will be added to the account every year, so why not?
"
As Lao Zhou spoke, he looked at Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian carefully, and a determined smile appeared on his face, "Master Cui asked this, which means that Master Cui usually doesn't care about money and food at home. He cares about money."
Very indifferent, if the two are young people of 17 or 18 years old, each young man does not know what it is like to be sad. It is normal to ask about money and food at home, but judging from the demeanor and demeanor of Mr. Cui and Miss Bai, there are also people who have come all the way.
The way he talks is clearly that of a person who has experienced and experienced in big scenes, and treats big events like nothing. A person who has seen big scenes and is well versed in the world, but is very indifferent to money, must come from a wealthy family. In my opinion
From the perspective of Lao Zhou who has been running boats on the Jinshui River for so many years, although the two of you are wearing ordinary clothes today, they must be deliberately keeping a low profile. Regarding their backgrounds, based on the two points I just mentioned, it can be inferred that the two of you are at least born as governors.
Even if the home is bad, it won’t be any worse than a governor’s home!”
I didn’t expect that a boat boss on the Jinshui River would have such a vision?
After he became a knight, especially after the wealth of the Three Eyes Society families was swept away in the Wei subcontinent, Zhang Tiehai really never cared about money anymore. Money really became something outside of him, except that Zhang Tie was not short of money.
In addition, the Zhang family's monopoly of full-effect pharmaceutical business is in full swing, creating huge wealth for the Zhang family every day. They are not short of money. The family is not short of money, and the current population of Jinwucheng is only Zhang Tie.
His brother and his two families didn't have many children. Zhang Tie thought about it. There may be many families with knights in Taixia, but there are families that are not short of money. It can't be said that there are none, but there are definitely not many. Huaiyuantang has
Many family businesses are just for making money. The Zhu family, the governor of Yanzhou, also has many family businesses for making money.
But there is another thing that Lao Zhou did not expect, or could not have thought of with Lao Zhou's knowledge and vision, that is, making money is one purpose of a large family doing business or getting involved in various industries, but there is another purpose that is more important than making money.
Power! Even families that are really not short of money are still doing various businesses and involved in various professions, such as my brother. Why? Just for things other than money! The so-called wealthy family does not just mean having money.
You have to have momentum. What is momentum is influence. Gold and silver piled up in a warehouse will not have influence. It is just a pile of metal. But investing it in many industries and bundling it involves the interests of many people.
It can penetrate deeply into people's daily necessities, food, housing and transportation, but it can have strong influence and control.
These three words of influence are what are truly valued by big families.
Whether a family is doing business for money or for influence is the most important watershed to test the strength of a family. The significance of this watershed is no less than whether a wealthy family can have a foundation in Xuanyuan Hill. The latter
There may be those who pretend to be fat, and there may be those who pretend to be fat, but the former cannot be faked. At least in Zhang Tie's view, the Zhang family is no longer doing business for money. After making money to a certain extent,
There is no point in making the same money over and over again. All businesses serve a higher family purpose. For example, those wealthy families and consortiums in the Western Continent and other subcontinents began to control the media, the military-industrial complex, and
Just like grain circulation, the reason behind these businesses is definitely not just for money. Emperor Xuanyuan came up with the golden power method, and it was not just for money.
The painted boats on the Jinshui River seem to be a romantic activity, but behind the scenes of making money, these painted boats serve as a cultural entertainment and gathering place, where they can not only inquire and spread news, but also make connections and influence people from all walks of life.
The cultural and entertainment circles of Xuanyuan Hill create certain public opinions and specific popular culture among some high-end people. I am afraid that the latter ones are really valued by the families in the imperial city who control these boats.
Not to mention just a few families in the Imperial City, Zhang Tie would not be surprised even if the real big boss behind these boats is the Taixia Tingwei Mansion.
The conversation between the little painted boat and Lao Zhou made Zhang Tie think a lot. Zhang Tie suddenly took out a gold coin, pinched it, and threw the gold coin towards Lao Zhou.
"Lao Zhou, continue!"
Lao Zhou skillfully caught the gold coin thrown by Zhang Tie and grinned, "Mr. Cui, just pay for the shipping fee of one gold coin after you land ashore!"
"Hahaha, I think you are an interesting person, Lao Zhou, so let's make friends. If you want to make money, Lao Zhou, come here in three months, or ask one of your sons to bring this gold coin to Youzhou Zhulong to claim it.
, I will give your Zhou family a business that is unique on the Jinshui River, and I will also let you, Lao Zhou, try what it is like to make a fortune every day at home, and I will give you a rich man from Xuanyuan Hill...!" Zhang Tie laughed.
laughed.
Lao Zhou lowered his head and looked at the gold coin in his hand, and found that a deep fingerprint had been melted silently on the gold coin, which should have been pinched out by Zhang Tie just now.
Lao Zhou secretly took a breath and thought, maybe the opportunity has come for the Zhou family. No wonder he has been dreaming in the past few days that there is no fire in his house, but the fire is soaring into the sky. This is a good sign for a great prosperity.
And looking at Zhang Tie's appearance, with Lao Zhou's eyes, he could also see that Zhang Tie was not someone who just talked nonsense. Although Lao Zhou couldn't guess what Zhang Tie meant by his independent business, he knew very well that in some
In people's eyes, giving the Zhou family a fortune is really just a matter of words.
Lao Zhou carefully put away the gold coin Zhang Tie gave him, and became more respectful to Zhang Tie, "Mr. Cui, Miss Bai, if you two don't dislike it, I will call you home when you get ashore later."
My mother-in-law will prepare some wine and food and invite you two to a meal in my humble house!"
"Haha, you're welcome, Lao Zhou. If you really want to thank me, then wait until your family completes that unique business in the future, and I will feel at ease when I come back to your house to eat and drink for free..."
Another smile appeared on Lao Zhou's dark face. He had long seen that Zhang Tie was not an ordinary person. But he didn't expect that Zhang Tie would be so polite to a little person like him and be so good at talking.
At this time, Bai Suxian also prepared the peach blossom wine and brought the wine to Zhang Tie with a smile.
"What kind of unique business can you come up with on this Jinshui River?" Bai Suxian asked Zhang Tie via message.
Bai Suxian heard Zhang Tie's words just now, and she also knew that Zhang Tie would not make such a joke on an ordinary person. But it was precisely because she couldn't figure out what kind of unique business Zhang Tie could find for an ordinary boatman that Bai Suxian became curious.
.
"Haha, you will know when the time comes!" Zhang Tie took the peach blossom wine, took a sip, and said to Bai Suxian via voice transmission.
It is true that Zhang Tie just listened to Lao Zhou's words and thought of this business from the painted boat on the Jinshui River.
Since others can start a business on the Jinshui River in Xuanyuan Hill and have a hand in the huge Xuanyuan Hill, then I can do the same. When the fuel alcohol and various engines from the Zhulong Territory are manufactured, I will give it to them.
Is it difficult for Lao Zhou to find a unique business on the Jinshui River? Lao Zhou's small boat. As long as it is modified and an engine and propeller are added, it can reach the speed of a speedboat on the water.
Just think about how one day on the Jinshui River in Xuanyuan Hill, Lao Zhou was in charge of a small boat equipped with an engine, drawing a white line on the river and speeding like an arrow, leaving all the onlookers dumbfounded. Zhang Tie couldn't bear it.
Lived happily.
If nothing else, I'm afraid there is no better advertisement for Zhulongling than this!
Peach blossom wine is one of the specialties of Xuanyuan Hill. It comes from the peach blossoms in Xuanyuan Hill. This wine is soft, sweet and fragrant. Because peach blossoms are used in the wine making, the wine has a rosy color and a peach blossom aroma.
, in Xuanyuan Hill. Many families collect peach blossoms in front and behind their houses to brew peach blossom wine. When coming to Xuanyuan Hill, tasting peach blossom wine on the Jinshui River is almost one of the must-have "tour items". Legend has it that
, lovers can drink a glass of peach blossom wine on the Jinshui River, and they will be in love and never leave.
This is also the reason why Bai Suxian is mixing wine attentively. Indirectly, this is also one of the reasons why Jinshui River has become the most romantic place in Xuanyuan Hill. In addition to the painted boats doing romantic business, there are also people on other cruise ships and boats everywhere.
You can see couples of men and women and lovers.
Standing on the bow of the boat, drinking peach blossom wine with Zhang Tie, Bai Suxian's cheeks were rosy, just like a fairy, and Zhang Tie couldn't help but take a few more glances.
"Mr. Cui, Miss Bai, the bridge in front is Wuma Bridge..." Old Zhou's voice came from behind.
In fact, there was no need for Lao Zhou to tell Zhang Tie that he also saw a steel arch bridge just a few kilometers ahead, spanning the Jinshui River.
The bridge is very impressive. Under the arches of the bridge, even giant ships with a capacity of 10,000 tons can pass. On the side of the bridge close to the Imperial City, there is also a pier. The pier is full of ships with special flags.
.
On the bridge, at the entrance to the outside of Xuanyuan Hill entering the bridge, Zhang Tie also saw a city tower that looked like a triumphal arch. There was a statue of a golden horse at the highest point of the city tower, which shone with golden light in the sun. The entire bridge,
He was guarding the entrance to the Imperial City on the outskirts of Xuanyuan Hill.
The twelve bridges on the Jinshui River are named according to the twelve earthly branches of the Chinese people. The twelve earthly branches of the Chinese people correspond to the twelve zodiac animals. On each bridge, some and ten characters were left on each bridge when it was built.
The totems and sculptures corresponding to the two zodiac signs, over time, in the mouths of the people of Xuanyuan Hill, the twelve bridges connecting the imperial city have also become the zodiac bridges in everyone's mouth.
Zhang Tie looked at the Wuma Bridge in the distance, but he was thinking about the map of Xuanyuan Hill.
Go straight from Wuma Bridge and enter the Imperial City, which is the Wuma Avenue of the Imperial City. Thirty kilometers into Wuma Avenue, next to Wuma Avenue is the Taixia Division headed by Da Sinong, one of the Nine Qings of Taixia.
Nongfu.
The Jiuqings of Taixia all have fixed official residences in the Imperial City. The official residence of Da Sinong is near the Sinong Mansion, right next to Wuma Avenue.
I don’t know whether it is intentional or unintentional. Zhang Tie is not proficient in Taixia’s Feng Shui city building knowledge and has no particular knowledge. However, from the perspective of the pattern, the twelve institutions of Taixia’s Sangong and Jiuqing, and the twelve zodiac bridges
There is also a corresponding relationship between the avenues that run through the Imperial City.
Zhang Tie looked at the Wuma Bridge in the distance and the group of sparrows that had just flown over the bridge, his eyes moved...
Xuanyuan Hill has the most birds. There are hundreds of species of waterfowl in the three major lakes outside. In Xuanyuan Hill, the most common birds are sparrows and pigeons. The willow trees along the Jinshui River are the favorite place for sparrows.
, and the pigeons in Xuanyuan Hill are concentrated near several squares and parks. Those pigeons have lived in Xuanyuan Hill for a long time and are not afraid of people at all...
The boat sailed towards Wuma Bridge. When it was less than half a mile away from Wuma Bridge, an extremely gorgeous painting boat came towards us and passed by the boat at a distance of a hundred meters.
On the boat, a group of men and women were talking about something on the exposed deck with carved decorations.
Zhang Tie didn't pay much attention to those people, because there were too many such boats on the Jinshui River. Zhang Tie just glanced at the boat and then moved away, paying attention to the scenery over the Imperial City.
, but what Zhang Tie didn't expect was that Bai Suxian, who had always been in a good mood around him, looked like a hedgehog with fried hair when he saw those people, and his breath suddenly became cold.
"Fang Xinyi..."
The people on the boat also discovered Bai Suxian and Zhang Tie at about the same time. The young people stopped talking and all looked over. (To be continued.)
