Wang Jingzhe didn't care about this detail at all, and Fang Yi didn't care even more.
After Ouyang Yuchen met with them, he stood there and stopped talking.
There was silence for a moment.
It was Wang Jingzhe who broke the silence and said: "The Lord of the City is here just in time, otherwise I would have sent someone to ask the Lord of the City to come over."
Ouyang Yuchen hurriedly said: "Jingzhe, the great Confucian, has disgraced his students. In front of the great Confucian, I don't dare to call myself a master. If you have any instructions from the great Confucian, Jingzhe, just tell them to the students."
Wang Jingzhe sighed and said seriously: "The Wang family is now becoming more and more decadent. You must have sensed it. After I become a great scholar, I should ignore these trivial matters and let the Wang family fend for itself and follow the trend of the times."
"But I am of the Wang family's blood after all, and I can't bear it if I don't care. So I just stepped in and set some rules for the descendants of the Wang family. As the lord of a city, you should listen to them and give me your opinions."
With that said, Wang Jingzhe told Ouyang Yuchen the new rules he had set for the Wang family's children.
"Jingzhe, the Great Confucian, is a cauldron that sinks a boat. It can be said to turn the tide before it collapses and help the building before it collapses!" Ouyang Yuchen said sincerely after hearing this.
This is not Ouyang Yuchen's polite words, but that is what he really thinks. Wang Jingzhe has released all the next generation of the Wang family, and the stipulations include those who travel abroad or go north to fight against the barbarians. If you fail to achieve your goal, you will not be allowed to return to the Wang family.
This kind of choice can be said to be a decision with blood, because most of the Wang family's children will die outside, and only a few can survive after experiencing the test of blood and fire.
As an outsider, Ouyang Yuchen saw clearly the decay of the Wang family, especially as the lord of Taiyuan City, Ouyang Yuchen often dealt with the Wang family.
Arrogant, extravagant and domineering, the ancestors are shadowed.
This is Ouyang Yuchen's impression of the Wang family.
As a court official, Ouyang Yuchen felt that the aristocratic family was definitely a worm from the world, but he was only a fourth-grade official, and his Confucianism and Taoism cultivation was only that of a fifth-grade Hanlin.
Although Ouyang Yuchen had a lot of things he disliked about the Wang family, he never said it out loud. Instead, he always maintained a good relationship with the Wang family.
Although the Wang family has long lost its glory, after all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. As a fourth-rank official in Taiyuan, he still has to rely on the Wang family to stabilize his position and govern the people.
However, Ouyang Yuchen also had a premonition. He knew that the Wang family was not far from destruction.
It can be seen from that time on the Wang family's racecourse. Thinking of this, Ouyang Yuchen glanced at Fang Yi on the high platform. This Qilin'er, the Wang family did not take him seriously at all.
It would be strange if the Wang family survived.
But that's what's strange.
The Wang family, who originally looked at the end of their days, actually regained their composure one after another?
First, a great scholar appeared in the Wang family!
Wang Jingzhe was seriously injured and went mad. If Zhao Zhe hadn't sacrificed his life to save him, Wang Jingzhe would have died long ago. Although he survived and came back, he had been mad for a long time and it was impossible to achieve the status of a great scholar.
But now, he has become a great scholar?
Moreover, the first thing Wang Jingzhe did to become a great scholar was to reform the Wang family, which had been suffering from long-standing shortcomings? ?
If Wang Jingzhe's innovative methods were followed, the Wang family, which was almost a dead tree, might really be able to regain its vitality.
Ouyang Yuchen was a little incredible.
He is not only a Confucian and Taoist monk, but also a Kanyu master. He has calculated the past and present, and has almost left no stone unturned.
He originally calculated that the Wang family's Qi was about to be exhausted, but this time he suddenly felt that the Wang family's purple Qi coming from the east was extremely valuable.
Ouyang Yuchen looked around and thought for a long time. He didn't know where the problem was. Logically speaking, he was pretty good.
But I miscalculated.
Then it means that there are variables in the middle, or in other words, there are variables.
The emergence of this variable disrupted all his previous calculations.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Yuchen suddenly turned his eyes to Fang Yi.
Couldn't it be this kid? ?
Ouyang Yuchen had previously been fond of Fang Yi, thinking that this boy was extraordinary and not something that could be found in a pond. Later, he heard that he had composed shocking poems, causing various strange phenomena, and was recognized by the Confucian Sage Palace.
This further confirmed Ouyang Yuchen's conjecture.
The source of all these variables comes from Fang Yi.
While Ouyang Yuchen was horrified, he was also a little more curious about Fang Yi.
All this is a long story, but in Ouyang Yuchen's mind, it was just a momentary thought.
At this time, Wang Jingzhe spoke again: "I invite the Lord of the City to come here this time. There is an innovative strategy that I want to explain to the Lord of the City, and I also ask for the Lord of the City's advice."
"It all depends on the orders of Jingzhe." Ouyang Yuchen quickly saluted.
"Everyone said before that in Taiyuan City, half of the city has the surname Wang. Although it is a joke, it is enough to show that the Wang family has a great business, and it also vaguely reflects the world's dissatisfaction with the Wang family." Wang Jingzhe said again at this time.
"The city lord, as an official of the imperial court, naturally has to consider it in court. He must be unhappy when he hears this statement, but there is nothing he can do about it." Wang Jingzhe looked at Ouyang Yuchen at this time.
Ouyang Yuchen lowered his head instantly: "Master Jingzhe, the great scholar, students must never dare to have such thoughts!"
"You don't have to deny it. Since I asked it, you should know that these are all as clear as a mirror in my mind." Wang Jingzhe waved his hand and said: "But you and I both know that the current dynasty is far away from the world. The founding emperor believed that aristocratic families were the cause of the previous dynasty’s demise, so the current dynasty naturally continued the policy of restricting aristocratic families.”
"Besides, in the whole world, it's the king's land, and it's the king's ministers who are on the shore of the land." Wang Jingzhe said in shock at this time: "Since you want to keep the fire and let the Wang family continue to live and thrive for a long time, then the Wang family will We must dare to be the first and become a role model for wealthy families.”
"Today, in front of the Lord of the City, what I want to say is the last innovative move of the Wang family." Wang Jingzhe said again at this time: "The Wang family is willing to spend all their wealth, except leaving some money, goods and some shops to support themselves. In addition to the elderly Wang family, all other money, houses, and land will be donated free of charge and distributed to the people of Taiyuan City in return for Taiyuan City's support and love for the Wang family over the years."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell silent.
All the Wang family members looked at Wang Jingzhe.
They were all stunned by Wang Jingzhe's shocking remarks.
Whether it was Wang Xiuzhi or other children of the Wang family, everyone looked at Wang Jingzhe blankly.
They suspected that Wang Jingzhe was joking, but Wang Jingzhe's face showed no intention of joking at all.
What Wang Jingzhe said is true, he will lose all his wealth!
Ouyang Yuchen was shocked when he heard these words. He had no idea that Wang Jingzhe's last innovative measure would be this.
This move is so clever! !
Ouyang Yuchen was in this fashion and had not yet recovered from the shock.
Scattering all the family wealth means that the children of the Wang family have no choice but to fight tooth and nail, either by fighting against the barbarians in the North and making a name for themselves, or by traveling abroad and studying hard and practicing.
There is no other way.
Because now, like all civilian children, they will have nothing, and there will be no family financial resources to support them in doing anything.
This is raising a curse, forcing the younger generation of the Wang family to adapt to this cruel world.
Once one or two children are raised, the Wang family's fire will be retained.
Moreover, now that the Wang family has made such a high-profile statement that they want to dissipate their family wealth, it will naturally reach the ears of the current Holy Emperor. The current Holy Emperor is not happy with the aristocratic families. This time, the Wang family has set such an example, and the Holy Emperor may reward the Wang family generously. , it is not surprising that Mrs. Wang is even given the title of first-grade imperial concubine.
This is not enough.
What Wang Jingzhe just said was to distribute all the Wang family's wealth to the people of Taiyuan City.
Originally, many of the Wang family's children were arrogant and domineering, and there were also quite a few villains like Wang Zhiyang. The people of Taiyuan City had a bad impression of the Wang family. Once the Wang family was liquidated, everyone would definitely fall in love with them.
But this time, if all the family wealth is distributed to these people, then these people will definitely be grateful to the Wang family, and their impression of the Wang family will be greatly changed from then on.
Thus.
Although the Wang family lost their immediate wealth, they gained the favor of the court and the support of the people, and even forced the children of the Wang family to become talented.
Kill three birds with one stone!
At this time, even Ouyang Yuchen couldn't help but secretly admire Wang Jingzhe's three innovative measures, which can be described as a stroke of genius.
Once such innovation is successful, the Wang family will surpass the Eight Surnames and not only return to its peak glory, but may even become a top family like the Six Gates, and at least ensure the prosperity of the Wang family for thousands of years.
The decline of aristocratic families is ultimately due to the lack of talent and the inability to produce peerless geniuses.
But when Wang Jingzhe made such a change, he started from the root of the Wang family's children.
"Jingzhe is a great scholar with good intentions and far-sightedness. The students are so impressed with him!" Ouyang Yuchen almost wanted to worship Wang Jingzhe at this time. This was not an exaggeration, but he really admired Wang Jingzhe.
A great scholar is indeed a great scholar.
"Uncle." Wang Xiuzhi spoke at this time: "Uncle, please think again!!"
Wang Xiuzhi understands Wang Jingzhe's thoughts, but this is a big gamble!
A shocking gamble. If the bet wins, everything will be okay. Once the bet loses, everything is lost.
If they could survive as before, the Wang family could continue to flourish for at least a hundred years.
But now, according to Wang Jingzhe's innovative methods, within ten years, the Wang family may become a passing thing.
"I know what you think, but I have made up my mind." Wang Jingzhe glanced at Wang Xiuzhi, then turned to the other children of the Wang family, and said: "If any of you have any objections, you can give up the surname Wang and you will get a big reward." With money, you can live the life of a rich man for the rest of your life.”
"Xiuzhi, the same goes for you!"
As soon as Wang Jingzhe said these words, all the Wang family members stopped talking. Even Wang Xiuzhi did not continue to say anything.
Wang Jingzhe is a great scholar and the highest-ranking being in the Wang family today. He has made a decision, and Wang Xiuzhi, as the head of the family, cannot disobey him.
"In this case, the three measures will be implemented immediately starting from today." Wang Jingzhe said it all, and it was settled.
"Lord City Lord, please bear witness to the Wang family these days!" Wang Jingzhe's eyes finally rested on Ouyang Yuchen.
"Everything will follow the arrangements of Jingzhe!" Ouyang Yuchen replied respectfully.
