Haiyan City, located in the east of Jiaxing, is close to the bay, and is named after the seashore and the salt fields. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Yan family originally lived in the sea salt, and boiled salt around the sea to prosper the family. The salt industry is profitable, and the fierce competition can be imagined, and the price paid by Yan to stand out from this fierce competition is not small. Under the salt crystals of the white flowers, to put it bluntly, there are a lot of white bones.

Because of the rise of the process, everything is done to the extreme, evil in the countryside, and the ancestors are from humble backgrounds, although the Yan family can be called rich, but in Wu County, it is already notorious and almost difficult to gain a foothold.

So the parents of the Yan family of the previous generation tried every means to start their household registration from Wu County and settle them in Wuxing. Although this move is suspected of covering up the ears and stealing the bell, the effect is significant. Although the two counties are next to each other, there is no Yan notoriety among the Wuxing countryside.

Therefore, the reputation of the Yan family has changed greatly, and in Yan Ping's generation, they have made great efforts and made friends with generous gifts, and they have suddenly jumped from a white body to a county magistrate! As a result, the Yan family has become even more prominent for a while, and now it can be called a haoba sea salt, looking at the sea, and the Yan family's salt fields are everywhere in sight!

However, all this came to an abrupt end not long ago, Wu Xingtai guarded Yutan painstakingly, and used the new law of drying salt to envelop the salt family in the county, and openly dismissed the head of Yanping County Shi in front of everyone!

"Yutan Pifu, my family and you are incompatible!"

Fame and fortune were lost, and he was so humiliated, Yan Ping still thinks about the scene in Benshan Villa, and he still feels burned inside, and his whole body exudes hatred!

Since Wucheng returned to his hometown, although it has only been a short ten days, Yan Ping is like a different world, the whole person is haggard, his beard is gray, he is old, and his originally fat cheeks are also thin and wrinkled.

In winter, the reed pond, the reeds are shriveled and yellow, scattered, flying like snow, dilapidated and depressed scene, just like Yan Ping's mood at this time.

The loss of pure interests is not worth the disgrace of Yan Ping. Over the years since he ran his family, although the salt industry production is still the main business and is thriving, it has also developed in other aspects, and there are many inputs.

What he couldn't accept the most was that he usually thought that he was also the No. 1 person in Wuxing, and as the governor of the county government, he could also talk happily with the celebrities of the time between entering and leaving, and he was quite courteous.

However, Yu Tan's series of blows against him made Yan Ping realize that a cold door is a cold door, even if everyone is respectful on the surface, they have no scruples about playing black hands behind their backs! What about the history of the county governor? A single bicycle is too guarded with a big pen, and the position of the long history that his family has spent countless costs to obtain suddenly changed hands!

If he changes to a child of the scholar clan, will he dare Yu Tan? In the final analysis, it is still because of his own unpreparedness and being looked down upon!

Once he realized this, Yan Ping's heart was filled with a sense of disillusionment and frustration, and he only felt that most of his life's hard work was in vain. In the past, he looked down on Shen Chong, thinking that this person ruined his family and made chaos was putting the cart before the horse, and he was stupid. But now, both of the wealthy families in the county, Shen Chong has been in the position of Fang Town, and the Shen family seems to have the atmosphere of the first family of Wuxing!

But what about him? Half a life of toil, in a word!

"In this world, it turns out that you can't restrain your edge, only when your edge is exposed, can you show yourself in front of the nobles!"

Standing in the reed pond, Yan Ping's eyes flashed fiercely, and then sneered: "In this case, how can my family be left behind!" With the life of Yu Tan's husband, he told Sergeant Wu that Wu Xing was the only one in the Shen family? My Yan family is also sharp! ”

Outside the vast reed pond, there are still a large number of farmers wielding sickles and brushing to harvest reed poles. They didn't know that the reeds were useless and were used as a regular fuel reserve every year.

Seeing the reed pond being cut layer by layer, Yan Ping felt sad in his heart. Although he has decided to lead his family on another journey, the past generations have relied on this reed pond for food and clothing, and he has been playing in and out of this reed pond since he was a teenager, and the feelings in his heart are not deep.

He stepped into the reed pond, not minding that the frost and soil stained the hem of his clothes, and looked around, wanting to keep this scene in his heart forever. After you become famous, let's rummage through the memories.

Beyond a high hill, there are continuous reed felt shacks in the depths of the reed pond, and there is a stinking smell. There are people in the shack who are crowded, unkempt, and unclothed, looking like a ghost! Seeing Yan Ping and one of his servants guarding, there were no ripples in the holes in his eyes, but he was just weaving dry reed leaves to protect himself from the cold.

"Get up! You guinea dog ant people, the lord is here, you dare to ignore it, you don't want to live! ”

Suddenly, an emaciated figure rushed out of the shack and kicked and hit the people around him. Many of them, old or disabled, were kicked by this person, turned their bodies with difficulty, and lay down in the wet and cold reed pond facing Yan Ping.

The man hunched over and walked forward, but his clothes were ragged and unkempt, and before he could get closer, there was a pungent smell in his face. Yan Ping hurriedly covered his nose with his sleeves, frowned slightly, and when even if a guard rushed up and kicked this person over, he was not allowed to approach.

Just hearing the man's scream, Yan Ping was faintly familiar, and said with doubts: "Are you ......?"

"Xiaomin Fan Guang, I am fortunate to see the lord in person, and I am really excited to see the lord again today as in the past!" When the man saw Yan Ping looking over, he hurriedly threw himself into the reed pond.

"Fan Guang?"

Yan Ping pondered for a long time, and then suddenly remembered that this Fan Guang was originally a salt family in Haiyan City, and he fought very hard with the Yan family when he was young.

Seeing that the opponent who was for tat in the past is now worse than dead, lying on the ground like a dog wagging his tail, Yan Ping was in a much happier mood and said with a smile: "Fan Guang, you are very good." Work diligently, and the Lord will not treat you badly. ”

"Thank you for your appreciation, thank you for your appreciation!" When Fan Guang heard this, he lay on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, but at the end he was already choked up, howling and crying, not knowing that Yan Ping had already left.

Just about to leave the reed pond, suddenly a pair of slender palms grabbed the hem of Yan Ping's clothes, he was shocked, looked down, and saw a thin figure kneeling on the ground, and said in a sad tone: "Please save your life!" My father had chilblains and suppurations, and he was going to die...... Pray that the Lord will remember that my family has served for many years, and give medicine to live......"

Listening to this voice is not like a male voice, it is polite and polite, not like ordinary people's words. Yan Ping's heart moved, and he pointed to the figure and said, "Raise your head!" ”

The figure trembled slightly, slowly raised its head, and a childish little face was revealed under the scattered hair, which was actually a teenage lady. Although the clothes are ragged, no powder, and there is a lot of dirt, you can still see that the eyes and nose are delicate, and the chin line is beautiful, which shows that she is already a beautiful embryo.

Seeing the little lady's face, Yan Ping felt a slight heat in his abdomen, and reached down to grab her shoulder, the little lady struggled, and the reed felt on her shoulder slipped off, revealing not white and tender skin, but a scarlet and bloodshot ringworm. Seeing this scene, Yan Ping was stunned, but the little figure jumped into the reeds like a panicked beast and soon disappeared.

"Lord, do you want to capture people back?" The guards next to him asked.

Yan Ping shook his head, and the ringworm flashed in his eyes again, and he felt a chill. In this reed pond, the hot flashes in summer, mosquito bites, the cold in winter, and the frost are continuous, not like the world, and the people who live in it are few who are in good health.

Yan Ping glanced at the farmers who were still harvesting, and suddenly whispered to the servants beside him: "Harvest for a while, you don't have to harvest again." On Chinese New Year's Eve, set fire to the reed pond. ”

"There are still thousands of households ...... inside," the servant subconsciously reminded, and when he saw Yan Ping's eyes turn cold, he nodded busily.

After making this decision, the block in Yan Ping's chest suddenly dissipated a lot, since his family has decided to set foot on another road, the reed pond on which the family business used to rely no longer has to be pitied, after the fire is burned, it is a piece of dust, and then ploughing is a fertile land! As for the ant people inside, those who can use it have already been selected, and there is a group of old, weak, sick and disabled left, how can they waste rice and grain for them!

Since Weitang returned home, Yan Ping's heart was hesitant and plunged into the preparations for the major events after the year.

In the Lari Festival, the clansmen scattered all over the country returned home to worship their ancestors, and some clansmen challenged Yan Ping, among which the most unusual one was named Yan Fang, who was the son of Yan Ping's uncle.

After the big sacrifice, Yan Yi came out of the crowd, pointed at Yan Ping and said, "Why was the eldest brother removed from the position of chief historian, don't you need to explain it to the clansmen?" What a price my family has paid for this long historical position! My father was from Ping Chen Min and died in battle. The blood and tears of countless clansmen, and countless goods paved the way, and the eldest brother was pushed to the history of the county governor! I only hope that the eldest brother can lead my family to prosper, but the eldest brother will throw this position lightly, can he be worthy of the ancestors and ancestors? ”

When Yan Ping heard this, his eyes were cold, and a cold laugh came out of his mouth: "What the sixth brother said is very true, I lost the position of the county magistrate, and I am indeed ashamed of my ancestors." It's just a reason, but it's extremely complicated, the sixth brother really wants to listen? ”

"There are blood relatives in the field, what can't be said!" Yan Fangzheng shouted.

"Okay, I'll give you an explanation!"

As soon as Yan Ping's words fell, he raised his palm and waved it to the ground, and suddenly a person behind Yan Fang raised his knife and slashed down, and a big head rolled down into the court!

Yan Ping ignored the headless corpse gushing with blood, slowly walked in front of the silent clansmen, and said sharply: "If my family wants to do a big thing, we must work together!" Anyone who has a different heart is so punished! ”

Seeing this bloody scene, even if there were still objections, everyone did not dare to speak out, and said in unison: "I am willing to hold a big event with the head of the family!" ”

After intimidating the clansmen with iron-blooded means, Yan Ping accelerated the dispatch of manpower and material resources. The family business is big, and he also knows that there are many dissidents among the clansmen, but at the moment he has no time to carefully discern them, so he can only try his best to restrain the clansmen in the family house and prevent them from contacting the outside world, so as to leak the news.

But Yan Ping still prepared a backhand, he put his favorite young son and hundreds of most loyal soldiers in the family, carrying a sum of money and goods on the sea, if it can be done, then everything is easy to say, if it can't be done, the Yan family will not be extinct in his hands.

It was not until Chinese New Year's Eve that Yan Ping arranged everything properly, and it was rare to be idle, only waiting for the first day of the new year to arrive.

The sound of firecrackers to bid farewell to the old year. After nightfall, a fire suddenly rose to the sky in the north of Yan's mansion, which made many clansmen palpitate, but Yan Ping looked at the fire and laughed heartily.

This fire will burn all the burdens, and by the time next year, the Yan family will become the leading family in Wuxing!

There was a faint roar and shouting in his ears, and the corners of Yan Ping's mouth hooked up a cruel smile, and the group of ant people burned their bodies to fertilize the fertile fields, which was not worth it.
