The He family was also one of the twenty-two families of that year. At first they were inconspicuous. However, when other families were enjoying the glorious wealth after success, the children of the He family, who were pursuing all-out investment clans, studied for imperial examinations, and even the "waste money" was secretly ridiculed by other families.

But facts have proved that if you can be an official, you can have everything. With the emergence of scholars in the He Mansion, the He family has finally laughed and has gradually become the leader in Jingjiazhuang.

On the other hand, Yun Xi's Yun family, apart from inheriting the inspector's official position, was completely undermined by other families. In fact, by Yun Xi's father's generation, other tribesmen of the Yun family had long escaped. The position of the owner of Jingjiazhuang was like a crater. Maybe one day they would be occupied by ambitious people, and the entire Yun family would end up dead and exterminate.

In fact, Lian Yunxi's father Yun Hailong had long wanted to escape. Where can I live a safe life with the inheritance left by his ancestors? Who would take it as the inspector's official position and the owner's position? Who would take it? Only idiots would be willing to live that scary life?

But unexpectedly, Yun Hailong didn't want it, and the other companies such as He Mansion insisted on him. Not only were the several companies competing for stalemate, but the interests of Jingjiazhuang had been divided up. Even the patrol members were from the other companies, and there was nothing to be found. After all, private smuggling is not very consistent with the king's law, and maybe the court will settle the accounts one day. Keep the heads of the Yun family and you may have to deal with it by then.

Under such a background, He Guanzhang asked someone to make a deal with Yun Hailong. It was said that it was a transaction, but the more correct statement should be an order.

Yun Hailong has only his only daughter Yun Xi, and he is planning to find a man to marry into the Yun family to pass on the family line. Therefore, he has carefully cultivated Yun Xi since he was a child, mainly to manage the remaining industries of the Yun family. There are also three-point nails for the rotten ships, and the Yun family has some industries.

However, He Guanzhang hoped that Yun Hailong would agree to marry Yun Xi to his eldest son He Wenqian, promising to ensure that Yun Hailong will be rich and safe for the rest of his life. After Yun Hailong dies, he will hand over the inspector and the owner's position to the He family. On the one hand, it can make a smooth transition; on the other hand, its reputation is much better, after all, it is not a robbery in terms of face.

At this time, He Wenqian had been ill for a long time. He originally wanted to marry a civil servant in the Qing Dynasty, but now it is impossible. Marrying Yun Xi has the intention of celebrating happiness, and it is even more important to attract Yun Xi's ability to manage the industry.

The Yun family must be irresistible to resist such an order. So Yun Xi had no choice but to get into a sedan chair and married the sick man. Sure enough, after only three days of marriage, He Wenqian took his last breath. In perfection, Yun Xi turned from a bride to a widow.

Fortunately, He Guanzhang felt a little guilty, and because Yun Xi showed enough ability, he trusted Yun Xi very much, making Yun Xi a de facto manager of He’s family.

In He Mansion, there are also differences in closeness and distantness. Yun Xi is He Guanzhang's daughter-in-law after all. Yun Xi manages industries, which is equivalent to those industries belonging to He Guanzhang. What's even better is that Yun Xi is still a woman, and all the sources of rights depend on He Guanzhang, and he dare not be irresponsible at all, otherwise he could change people in just one sentence. After all, He Guanzhang is in the capital, with the sky high and the emperor far away, and he has no energy and no ability to manage the trivial matters of the He Mansion.

As an official in the court, power and wealth are indispensable. Haven’t you seen Zhang Siwei, who had just served as the chief minister, his family was a big salt merchant in Shanxi? For example, Li Dongyang, the famous minister of the previous dynasty, had been in the Hanlin Academy for 27 years after high school. His family had a lot of guests every day and had a lot of friends all over the world. Wasn’t it still supported by the wealthy businessman in the family? Therefore, He Guanzhang had long thought of going to the path of his predecessors and his qualifications and connections were qualified. If he could still have financial resources from the clan to help him, who would dare to say that he would not have the chance to enter the cabinet or even the hope of the chief minister?

Yun Xi in Laizhou City has also gradually gotten used to this kind of life and has regarded herself as the He family. And as the power in her hands increases, she also has ambitions - the glory of her great-grandfather Yun Feihu will be reproduced in her hands!

The world is a small world. If you divide it for a long time, you will be united, and if you combine it for a long time, you will be united. After nearly a hundred years of peace, Jingjiazhuang has now been in chaos again.

Moreover, there were three major iron and smelting bases in the north of the Ming Dynasty, including Datong, Tianjin Wei (Tangshan), and Foshan in the south. By the way, if the capital city is added, including Macau, which supplies iron materials in Foshan, it is also the four major weapons bases in the Ming Dynasty. If we do not include remote areas in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, there are also Xuzhou nearby, Nanyang, and Wuhu in the Central Plains, and Laizhou is sandwiched in it, which can be said to be an external and internal trouble. Therefore, if we want to compete with those "foreign enemies", Yun Xi's first thing is to let the He family unify the Laizhou iron and smelting industry.

...

Behind the convoy, Lu Ming and Tie Sheng were also discussing the competition just now: "Tiezi, how did you feel just now? Why do I feel you are at a disadvantage?"

Tie Sheng smiled and shook his head: "It is hard to decide the winner within a hundred moves, and win outside with a hundred moves." Tie Sheng still has confidence. On the one hand, he is strong enough, but on the other hand, he just doesn't adapt.

"Hundred moves are outside?" Lu Ming said in surprise. Among the three heroes, the senior brother Feng Suo's sword skills are the strongest, and Lu Ming's gun skills are the best. When it comes to boxing and kicking skills, Tie Sheng is the best at it. Especially since their master is old, really hard power? It depends on their younger generation. If it is just weapons, the outcome is a moment, it may still depend on experience, but boxing and kicking are only about young and strong. This is because boxing is afraid of young and strong, and sticks are afraid of old wolves.

Tie Sheng's evaluation was also very objective: "Senior brother, that person's tricks are very strange, but he will never leave his sect and adapt slowly. So I thought I would ask more questions in the future. If I had more chances of fighting, I would never be as sad as before."

"Oh!" Lu Ming also became interested, "Called when he was having a fight in the future. Hey, who is that person?"

"Oh!" Tie Sheng clapped his hands, "I forgot to ask."

"Forget it. I can't leave this Laizhou City, so I'll ask about it slowly in the future."

"That's true."

Not like the laymen like Yun Xi, He Wenxian, and Lai, they thought that those who know martial arts were all the same. Zhenwei and the three heroes all had a reputation in the world. They were all first-class masters, so they had a very high evaluation of Qin Bai.

...

At this time, Qin Bai's house was thrown all over the ground. Li Ying looked at Qin Bai with a pale face and supported her sick body. When he saw Qin Bai slamming the table and shouting in anger: "Dare you! You bastard!"
