Chapter 3: A thousand hectares of fertile land, the prototype of a family
People at that time said that the Wang family was a tiger general, and they were brave and resourceful.
Wang Jian was born in Pinyang Township, Qin State, and loved military affairs when he was young.
People at that time had a stubbornness towards their own preferences, so they had to learn and touch them, and never turn back. Fortunately, Wang Jian's efforts were rewarded.
Wang Jian, who loves military affairs, happened to be born in an era where hundreds of schools of thought came out and wars continued.
With his own abilities, he was valued by the three kings of Qin.
What's more, he helped Emperor Qin Shihuang destroy Chu and became a famous general of Qin. His son Wang Ben also fought everywhere, with great achievements. With the annihilation of the six countries, the achievements of the two were also put into practice.
Wang Jian was granted the title of Wu Cheng Hou, and Wang Ben was granted the title of Tongwu Hou.
Although they were not as good as Meng Tian and Meng Yi in the hearts of Emperor Qin Shi, Wang Jian and his son were both awarded titles, which was extraordinary. At least at that time, many people wanted to make friends with them.
After the destruction of the six kingdoms, the father and son were new nobles. If the First Emperor had the title of the title, the people who made friends with him would also be more prosperous.
However, no one could have expected that Emperor First Emperor would no longer grant the title of princes, but only rewarded merits, which naturally affected the interests of many people. In the prime of Emperor First Emperor, who could stop him?
If you have thousands of plans and thoughts in your mind, you can only settle for the second best. Those who can get rewards and favors will naturally receive more attention.
The Wang family is one of them. Although they are not as powerful as the vassals, they are still upstarts. As long as they make friends properly, they will have endless benefits. Many people have made such an idea.
What was disappointed once again was that Emperor First Emperor asked Wang Jian what kind of reward he needed after the victory, but Wang Jian shook his head and only had thousands of hectares of fertile land as the foundation of the Wang family.
At that time, Wang Jian was the most capable general at the moment. How could he go further and go beyond Qin Wenjin and others? On the other hand, the First Emperor still trusted them wholeheartedly and allowed them to give them rewards.
But what if the king's reward cannot satisfy them in the future? And only a thousand hectares of good land are needed, and they can gain the trust of the king and keep stable. Why not do it?
As for those who regretted them, Wang Jian and his son didn't care at all.
One or two simultaneous phases, there is no need to go further.
If you go in again, you will be against the will of heaven.
What they can do now is to think of ways to extend the surname Wang, just like those stubborn old tribes, and there is no need to be afraid of meeting the king in the future.
If you encounter natural disasters and man-made disasters, you can also have the ability to save yourself.
After thinking for a long time, Wang Jian really agreed with Wang Ben's words. Since it was a matter of the clan, why bother outsiders? Why not just invite their clan members to come and manage these thousand hectares of fertile land together.
Maybe it was bitter at the beginning, but the sweet taste in the end was endless.
After getting an idea, Wang Jian ordered people to go to his hometown, Pinyang to invite his clan members. In fact, there were only a few relatives in total. At that time, the Wang family did not have a prominent family background, so how could it be so big?
Wang Jian, who figured it out, invited the person back with great speed.
The elderly people did not rush to rush, but sent the young and strong to go first, and they slowly walked behind.
Just a few days after the news was delivered, the guest was welcomed at the Marquis of Wucheng.
This is a major event in the clan. Wang Jian and his son came out to greet each other. Many people who were squatting outside saw this and remembered it in their hearts. They immediately ran back to their respective palaces to report.
The incident of Wang Jian and his son welcoming the young man was very popular for a while, and even the First Emperor had heard that one day the court meeting asked about this matter, and Wang Jian only replied to the relatives at home and had goodwill to his ancestors.
Not to mention the affairs of the ancestors, there are also things that are unclear at present.
Since it is a matter of someone else's family, Emperor First Emperor will no longer ask about it.
The young and strong man who arrived in Wang Jian's family was called Wang Qi. Because he was ranked seventh, he was Wang Lang's grandson. Wang Lang walked slowly behind him and seemed not in a hurry to meet Wang Jian and his son.
There is also a reason for recruiting Wang Lang and his family to come here this time.
When Lin Xiangru of Zhao State sent Heshibi to Qin, Wang Lang, who met with his friends, happened to be fortunate to see it and said something. Several people laughed and made fun of it later discovered that this person's vision was.
The Heshi wall indeed fell into the hands of Qin.
It can be seen that Wang Lang's wisdom is also rational enough in the face of treasures and has a strong insight.
Thinking about the Wang family, the first thing Wang Jian thought of was Wang Lang, a handsome and intelligent person who was still a cousin and had the closest family.
Therefore, Wang Jian wrote to him and signed the letter to Wang Lang.
The news of Wang Lang's slow movement was not mentioned. Therefore, when the father and son welcomed each other, Wang Qi was not very dissatisfied and still greeted him with the courtesy of relatives.
I heard that Wang Lang was old and was inconvenient to go on a hurry, so I arrived late and sent Wang Qi to report the message. At this point, even the last bit of worry was gone. Looking at his father who seemed to be a little happy. Wang Ben was puzzled, "Father, why are you so happy for your uncle to act like this?"
Wang Jian waved his palm and patted Wang Ben's head, pretending to be angry and said, "You boy understands it. My cousin is the smartest person in the Wang family in this generation. As long as he is willing to come, he will respond to this matter.
Although he is also a martial arts practitioner, I will come and leave as soon as I call you. How should other relatives think about it? Where is the character of my Wang family? Even if I are of the same clan, I will leave my own bones."
Wang Ben realized that he had thought it was a bit out of the way and couldn't help but blush.
When Wang Jian saw this, he laughed, "You kid is still young, some of them are studying."
Wang Ben thought of the child who could run or jump, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. He was already old and would always be a child in front of his father.
A few days later, Wang Lang's convoy arrived late.
The father and son still welcomed each other at the same time.
And Wang Lang is the main one.
After meeting the Wang family, there was a dinner.
In front of everyone, Wang Ben apologized to Wang Lang, showing his narrow-mindedness and misunderstood his uncle.
Wang Lang smiled and said there was no need to worry. Afterwards, he sent a few grandsons to get Wang Lang drunk and was driven back to the study to rest that night. After that, Wang Ben only realized it afterwards.
This is great wisdom.
It does not hurt people's face, but also teaches both sides to make a move. It also takes a lot of money to rectify the other party.
It’s not that Wang Lang is stingy, but that the bones of a person are placed there. If you don’t care about anything, maybe everyone will be deceived in the future, but if you return it with such means, you can do both.
Wang Jian is also an experienced person, so he can naturally see Wang Lang's intentions and does not stop him. He just pretends to be blind, which can be regarded as giving his good son a lesson, so as not to be so naive when he reaches middle age.
After this incident, he became more convinced of Wang Lang and also informed Wang Lang of his thoughts.
Afterwards, Wang Lang lived in the Wucheng Hou Mansion. He lived there for more than a month. The people who followed the Wucheng Hou Mansion had forgotten about this and just thought it was a relative who came to fight Qiufeng.
No one knows that in more than a month, the Wang family talked about something.
However, in the thousands of years of later generations, the Wang family and the several families that emerged later have always stood firm. Even if the royal power changes, they have their own set of laws of survival in the world.
There is a saying in later generations that is very reasonable.
An iron-clad family, a flowing emperor.
This is what I said.
However, today's Wang family is still the dominant Wang Jian's family, far from being as lush as later generations.
The Wang family at this time was like grass.
It is taking root and sprouting.
