Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

Wang Xiujin wanted to go to sea, it was a sudden impulse at first, he has always been very life-saving, from young to middle-aged, he has experienced a lot of things, large and small, man-made, or random disasters are not considered Few, he walked through the gate of hell a few times, and he is still cautious until now, never thinking that he is an unkillable cockroach,

Wanting to go to sea to see, Wang Xiujin not only had this idea once or twice, especially when he brought back more and more information on industrial progress from overseas, he wanted to see what level of overseas industrial development has reached.But because he didn't want to throw his life at sea, he never took action.Wang Xiujin was afraid of death, so he spoke about going to sea this time because he was greedy when he saw the big ship going out to sea for trial at the shipyard, so he sighed for some reason. It was really a pity, and in order not to let him have any regrets, Li Sushan proposed to wait for the big ship to sail away, and they followed to see it.

In the general's mansion, the eldest son can stand alone, and the Wang family doesn't need Wang Xiujin to worry about it. As for the property, the emperor has sent people to manage it now. Whether it is profit or loss, as long as Wang Xiujin gets a lot of interest, they will not bother.Li Sushan admired Wang Xiujin's open-minded and let go attitude. If it were him, he might be able to do what Wang Xiujin did.When they travel far, the only thing they worry about is the elders. Parents are not traveling far, and the rivers and mountains are turning around. If something happens, they can still rush back. It's a bigger regret if they can't come back.

When they went home and talked about their idea of ​​going overseas, they were surprised that the elders supported their decision, but the younger generation disagreed, worrying that they might encounter accidents at sea.In order not to let them leave, the married daughter simply carried the one-year-old child back to her mother's house, and the son-in-law moved in to accompany her.

Wang Xiujin was dumbfounded by his daughter's behavior. He was very helpless, but he still yearned to go overseas. Ever since he said he wanted to go overseas, his desire to go out became stronger day by day, but he was not self-willed enough to make the child sad. , the elders were worried, but they still insisted on going their own way.If you don't go to sea, you will have regrets. Compared with family affection, such regrets are very small.

Wang Xiujin had already given up the idea of ​​going out to sea, even though he still yearned for it in his heart, but the fear of death quickly suppressed that little bit of yearning.Li Sushan was determined to prepare for going to sea, but he was so hardened by his daughter that he didn't dare to show it publicly, so he thought about it after a hundred years from his parents.The matter of the two of them going to sea was just such a scandal by their daughter.

It was also lucky that the two of them did not go to sea. The new big ship appeared in the water seepage incident just after it left the sea city defense. There were four royal talents on board. The news spread to the capital and the sacred case was passed. Order someone to investigate carefully, not to mention, I really found out the tricks.After the shipyard was handed over to the royal family, some moths in the royal family stretched out their hands indiscriminately, arranging people at will, and there was a change of posts.The money is collected according to the high-quality materials, but the materials sent are inferior. How can the ships built in this way travel far?

After Wang Xiujin heard the news of the water seepage in the boat, he was very glad that he didn't make it, and his thoughts of going out to sea were completely broken.As for the emperor's wrath, it's like a woman's pain in giving birth to a child. If you can be cruel, you can clean up these people, but it will definitely cause some unnecessary troubles. If you can bear it, you have to think of a safe solution The method is to let the claws that stretched out the hand be retracted obediently.

The new emperor looks young, but he has been with the first emperor for many years. He was taught by the first emperor himself. The most simple and rude way, the relatives of the royal family who stretched their hands too long were imprisoned, some were killed, some were confiscated, and some were sent to guard the mausoleum, which was the lightest punishment.

Wang Xiujin felt that the new emperor was a little too hasty. He hadn't secured the throne yet, and he was afraid that some people would be dissatisfied with this, which would cause some troubles.When the first emperor started to clean up the courtiers, he had been in power for many years and had already stabilized the regime, but the new emperor was too hasty.Wang Xiujin forgot one thing. It is true that the ancient clan was greater than the law, but no matter how big the royal clan was, they would not dare to do anything to the emperor. Dare to confront the emperor, and dare not despise the opponent because of his young age. Who would let the emperor now hold the military power instead of dividing it into the hands of the generals.

In addition to the military power in the emperor's hands, there is also a mysterious police station. They raise soldiers who want to rebel, and they are afraid that their lives will be gone before the soldiers are raised.So in order to live for a few more years, in order not to let their bodies be separated, they have to endure it.In order to win the favor of the emperor, some people wrote a letter of guilt to the people of the world, which is called a sincere letter, which is called a sincere letter, and makes people feel that they are sincerely repentant. Of course, whether outsiders believe it or not is not important to them. The emperor It is important to believe.

Looking at the confession letter, Wang Xiujin laughed and said that the brains of those who give advice are very good, but sometimes, cleverness is misunderstood by cleverness, and excessive force will make the superior fearful.Of course, these are like a play to him, just watch the excitement.He and Li Sushan are idlers now, they just get some bonuses without official positions, and they live a leisurely life.

No longer appearing in front of everyone, even though the Li family is still attracting attention, it is not as ostentatious as before.No one sees him as an eyesore and wants to get rid of it quickly.Not competing for fame or profit, living a very leisurely life, planting a piece of bamboo in the yard, drinking tea in the bamboo in summer, has a special charm, lived two lifetimes, Wang Xiujin did not feel that he and the literati could be on top, but now he lives He was addicted to it, but he felt that his appearance was a bit imitative, neither fish nor fowl.

Thinking about his two lifetimes, Wang Xiujin feels that he has lived a very wonderful life. He has experienced the prosperity and advancement of society, and the ugliness of human nature at the end of the day, and then to ancient times, backwardness, and poverty. Despite the hardships of Yanliang, now children and grandchildren are around, no matter whether they are biological or not, as long as they are filial from the heart, why bother about whether they are related by blood or not.

Patting his grandson's head, Wang Xiujin basked in the sun with his eyes closed. The sun is so nice today, it feels warm and comfortable on his body. "Grandfather, will Sun Wukong fail to turn over and fall into the sea when he turns somersault?" The little baby asked curiously. For him, there is no concept of how far a hundred thousand miles is, just pure curiosity. If it happened to be the sea below a hundred and eight thousand miles, would the Great Sage be drowned?

"Maybe, but Sun Wukong is very capable, even if he falls into the sea, nothing will happen." Wang Xiujin patiently explained to his grandson.

"Then why can't Sun Wukong pick the palm of Tathagata Buddha's hand? If Sun Wukong wrote the words on the back of his hand, Tathagata would lose, but why did he write it in?" The child was very curious and had many questions. "Is Tathagata a good guy or a bad guy? Sun Wukong is not good either. If he doesn't destroy the peach feast, there will be no follow-up. But letting Sun Wukong take care of the peach garden is a delusion. Don't they know that monkeys like to eat peaches? Like this If you don’t know common sense, no matter how big an official is, you are still stupid.” Children talk a lot.

Wang Xiujin did not give any guidance to his grandson. He said that he should never watch Journey to the West. In fact, telling the story of Journey to the West in a different way will not do any harm to the children. On the contrary, it will activate their brains and make them think more about their inner s things.Slightly squinting his eyes, being comfortable in the sun, he felt sleepy.Seeing that the grandfather was silent, the children around looked up and saw that the grandfather seemed to be asleep, so they moved lightly and went to find a servant to bring a blanket for the grandfather to cover him.

Perhaps Wang Xiujin would never have imagined that he would pass away so peacefully in his life, without being tortured by illness, leaving in the sunshine on such a warm afternoon.

Wang Xiujin's death caused a great shock, and the emperor went to mourn in person. For several days in a row, all the officials, big and small, came to him.Li Sushan guarded the mourning hall expressionlessly, making it impossible to see the sorrow and joy, but the trembling hands and the red thread in his eyes betrayed his heart. Li Yachang's wife comforted the crying sister-in-law who kept blaming herself, She was also thinking in her heart, if, if her father-in-law went out to sea with the boat, wouldn't people go so early.The younger generation of the Wang family also came to guard the spirit. They were thinking of their uncle. Wang Xiubai cried and fainted twice. If the Wang family didn't have a younger brother to support them, they would not have the life they have now.

Those who came to mourn Wang Xiujin were not only relatives of the emperor, officials from all walks of life, but also many great Confucians, business leaders, scholars, and workers in factories. Some people could not enter the courtyard, so they took them with them. things outside the yard.

During the few days when the coffin was suspended, it was raining continuously. On the day of the burial, the sun was shining brightly instead of the rainy days.Li Sushan thought that Wang Xiujin liked to bask in the sun very much, but now he can't.

Standing on the coffin, Wang Xiujin looked at the black and white shadows. He lived a fulfilling life in this life. One should not be too greedy. After living for a while, one would be greedy about regrets. He has no regrets. There are family members who can be relied on, offspring who are proud of, even the grandchildren are smart, what is there to regret, how long the family can be glorious is not up to him, and he will not know, just like this Well, why is it not a kind of God's love for him to die like this.

"Wang Xiujin, the underworld government has been unable to make ends meet for nearly a hundred years. From today onwards, you will be appointed as the financial officer of the underworld government to support the government's finances and taxes."
