Chapter 278: Scattered Wealth
Yang Huairen suddenly remembered a very serious problem, according to historical records, the Empress Dowager Gao died next year, and she died of illness. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
But since history is written by people, and it is written by the victors, it is very doubtful how she died.
In fact, Yang Huairen doesn't have to worry about this, what he is worried about is that after the death of Empress Dowager Gao, what happened to this chrysanthemum internal guard organization with 5,000 people in the Great Song Dynasty? Such a thing will not be written down in history.
In the near future, Zhao Xu, who won this power struggle, if he knew that there was such an organization that threatened him, he would definitely cut down the roots and eliminate the internal guards in one fell swoop.
If they are not found, or if they are not clean, where will these people go? These people are all people who have all kinds of stunts and have great potential threats to social stability.
Yang Huairen suddenly had a bold idea, if he could further control the internal guard, let these people living in the shadows change their evil and become a force to guard the Great Song Dynasty in the future, wouldn't it be a merit?
He remembered what Xuan Shen had just said, the people in the inner guard actually don't have a specific goal in life, because they are humble and lonely by nature, and they belong to a group of people who are far away from the normal emotional world of human beings.
If we can intervene in their psychology from another angle, such as helping them form a family, let them have children, feel the warmth of family affection, experience the happiness of the world, and have sustenance and hope in their lives, will they really become a positive energy as Yang Huairen wishes?
In the middle of Yangjia Village is a huge open space similar to a square, which seems to be the place where the family gathers. To the north of the square is the compound where the ancestral hall of the Yang family is located.
The building complex where the ancestral hall is located has a long history, it is said that it existed in the Tang Dynasty, and it has experienced ups and downs for hundreds of years, witnessing the birth, growth and death of countless generations of the Yang family.
A civil structure like this must have undergone countless repairs to survive for hundreds of years, and the different colors of masonry on the walls and the beams riveted with copper nails countless times prove that it was in the past.
Yang Huairen's family followed the patriarch to respectfully carry out the ceremony of worshiping the ancestors' spiritual throne.
In ancient times, patriarchy was preferred, and according to the usual rules, daughters-in-law like Mother Yang and He Zhiyun were not allowed to enter the main hall of the ancestral hall to worship, and only the men in the family could step into the ancestral hall.
They can only worship in the courtyard outside the church. But today is different, the patriarch welcomed the two ladies dressed in ceremonial uniforms into the main hall of the ancestral hall like VIPs, and proudly told the ancestors about the merits made by Yang Huairen's family to the glory of the family.
Originally, Yang's father's tablet could not be placed in a conspicuous position in the middle of the main hall, so it was originally only placed in an inconspicuous corner on both sides.
The patriarch personally instructed the elders on duty in the ancestral hall to re-place Father Yang's tablet in a conspicuous position in the middle to show that he had given birth to a Hou Ye for the family.
Mother Yang was a little fluttering with joy, her legs and feet were a little non-stop, she was happy as a woman with a foreign surname, because she was under a command, the patriarch announced that she and He Zhiyun's tablet would also enter the ancestral hall in the future, and there was a special confession for a woman with a prominent identity or merit in the clan.
He Zhiyun has never experienced this, but she followed Yang's mother gracefully and generously this day, for fear of losing Yang Huairen's face in the family.
Yang Huairen was a little distressed when he saw her and her mother like this, there were too many rules, the ceremony was too cumbersome, he knelt again and again, and he didn't know what there was to kneel down on the many wooden signs, it was really better to bow and add a bouquet of flowers to make sense.
It's just that Yang Huairen's body's reaction made him really feel what kind of taste it is to be connected by blood.
Although the Yang family has a large number of people and many scholars, most of them are still self-sufficient farmers, who have been living on the land left by their ancestors for hundreds of years, and have continued to continue the race with their hands and sweat.
Yang Huairen felt that he should do something, especially now that he was not short of money at all, it was time to give a wave of wealth to the villagers of the Yang family.
If he is still afraid of being criticized for distributing wealth to the villagers in his own village, then he should not be said anything if he pays for the repair of the ancestral hall, or the construction of bridges and roads, or the construction of a school in his hometown.
After the worship ceremony was completed, Yang Huairen took the initiative to find the patriarch and said that he was willing to pay for the renovation of the family ancestral hall.
Since the dead can get these benefits, the living, especially the future children of the family, should also have a better environment to study and grow up.
There is a school funded by a family in the village, and the teachers are the old talents who are not in the family, and the quality of education seems to be too poor.
The budget for building a new tomb for my late father will cost 10,000 yuan, and it will cost 10,000 yuan to repair the ancestral hall, renovate the family square, and lay a new bluestone road in the village, and another 10,000 yuan.
And when spending money on education, Yang Huairen will not be stingy. To build a new school, in addition to the luxurious hardware facilities, it is also necessary to have good teacher resources.
The Mongolian school for children between the ages of five and 10 only needs to be expanded on the basis of the original village to be used by the family and the children in the village.
Yang Huairen's plan is to ask the patriarch for a piece of land and build a academy, and Mr. will first find the best gentleman from Qizhou to teach in the academy, and in the future, he can also invite a famous gentleman from Jingdong to come to the academy with a high salary.
In the future, not only the Yang family and the children in the village can go to the academy for further study after Mongolia, but also benefit the young people in the surrounding states and counties who are interested in studying.
The east of the village is a low mountain, which was originally some wasteland, and it is a good place to build a academy, and the patriarch happily agreed, but Yang Huairen was so generous that he was a little embarrassed.
"Huairen's grandson, repairing the ancestral hall and paving the road for the village has already cost you 20,000 yuan, although you are a marquis, but you have scattered your family wealth like this, it really touches my grandfather too much, and even makes my old man feel sorry for you."
Yang Huairen said with a smile, "Where is this going, but it's only 20,000 yuan, saying that ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, poverty can't be poor education, build a academy, I plan to produce another 20,000!" ”
The patriarch was dumbfounded, "You really have so much money?" ”
Yang Huairen saw that the patriarch was over seventy years old, and it was not good to tell the old man that his monthly dividends in the capital restaurant chain were tens of thousands of yuan, so he replied with righteousness and awe: "The official family rewards me, and I dedicate it to the villagers, it is incumbent on me!" ”
