Maoshan World: The young marshal starts!

Chapter 46 Return to Renjia Town
“Crackling—!”

In Renjia Town, a crowd gathered accompanied by a series of festive and lively firecrackers.

Leading the way were Ren Fa and Uncle Jiu, followed by the mayor of Renjia Town and a group of local gentry. At this moment, they all gathered on the main road at the town gate.

Behind the group, a banner more than ten meters long was erected high up, attracting great attention. On it were written in large, festive vermilion characters: "Warmly welcome the triumphant return of the young marshal."

However, today is the day when Guan Shaoqing returns to Renjia Town. Somehow the news spread to Renjia Town, and then the mayor of Renjia Town and other gentry of Renjia Town took the lead and joined Ren Fa and Uncle Jiu to organize such a welcome ceremony to welcome Guan Shaoqing.

In fact, he mainly wanted to curry favor with Guan Shaoqing.

After all, the Guan family now has such tremendous power that they have unified the entire province of eastern Guangdong. Looking at the whole world, they are already one of the most powerful warlords. In eastern Guangdong, the Guan family now has the final say, and no one can compete with them.

In this case, as Guan Zongtang's only son and the only heir of the Guan family, Guan Shaoqing's status and position are naturally needless to say. He is definitely the well-deserved prince of Guangdong today.

What's more, the abilities displayed by Guan Shaoqing himself are extraordinary and even surpass those of his father Guan Zongtang.

Needless to say, Guan Shaoqing's status and position are even higher.

That's why the mayor of Renjia Town and other gentry of Renjia Town organized such a grand welcome ceremony after they learned that Guan Shaoqing was coming.

Soon after a moment.

"The young marshal is here! The young marshal is here!——"

Accompanied by the excited shouts of the messengers.

Guan Shaoqing slowly led his troops onto the road outside Renjia Town, with his soldiers following behind him.

"It's the young marshal, everyone come and greet him."

Seeing that it was indeed Guan Shaoqing, the mayor of Renjia Town and others hurriedly greeted him and came forward to welcome him.

"Greetings, Young Marshal, and welcome back your triumphant return!"

"Young Master."

"cousin."

"Senior brother."

"."

Uncle Jiu, Ren Fa, Ren Tingting, Qiu Sheng, Wencai and others were also gathered at the front of the team and happily greeted Guan Shaoqing.

"Master, Uncle, Tingting, Junior Brother."

Guan Shaoqing also smiled, dismounted and greeted the crowd.

"cousin."

Ren Tingting happily ran to Guan Shaoqing and took his arm.

Guan Shaoqing also smiled gently at Ren Tingting, then looked at the mayor of Renjia Town and others who were facing him with fawning expressions.

"The mayor and everyone are being polite. There's no need to be like this."

"Young Marshal's daughter is so noble and honorable. Her coming to Renjia Town is an honor and blessing for all of us in Renjia Town, and we should welcome her."

Upon hearing this, the mayor of Renjia Town immediately spoke respectfully and flatteringly.

Guan Shaoqing smiled.

"Okay, that's it for this time. We won't have to do it next time. Let's leave it at that for now. Everyone, please disperse. Renjia Town was previously under the jurisdiction of my Guan family, and it will be the same in the future. As long as everyone abides by the law, my Guan family will definitely not make things difficult for you."

"Yes, yes, then, Young Marshal, we will take our leave first. If you need us for anything later, please let us know."

"Okay, I'll call you if anything happens. That's it for now. Everyone, go home now."

He waved his hand to dismiss the mayor of Renjia Town and others, and soon only his master Uncle Jiu and his uncle Ren Fa and others were left on the scene.

"Uncle, I'm going to the master first and then I'll come to your place later."

Guan Shaoqing said to Ren Fa again.

"Okay, then Shaoqing, I'll wait for you at home."

Upon hearing this, Ren Fa nodded with a smile on his face and was extremely happy. This time, the Guan family swept through many warlords and unified eastern Guangdong. For Ren Fa, this was undoubtedly a great joy. After all, the interests and destiny of his Ren family had long been connected with the Guan family.

"Cousin, I'll go to Uncle Jiu's with you." Ren Tingting said.

"Then Shaoqing, please let Tingting go with you." Ren Fa also said after hearing this.

Guan Shaoqing smiled and nodded, then looked at Uncle Jiu and said.

"Master, I'll go to your side first."

"it is good."
-
"Master, have Master's Aunt and the others left?"

They soon arrived at the charity cemetery, and seeing that Master Aunt Wang Hui and her family of three were nowhere to be found, Guan Shaoqing couldn't help but ask.

"Your master's aunt and the others went back a few days ago." Uncle Jiu informed him.

"This time, it was thanks to Master's help in identifying the real culprit. I haven't had the chance to thank you in person yet. It seems I can only wait for another opportunity."

Guan Shaoqing couldn't help but say when he heard this. He had been busy leading troops to fight and trying to persuade other small warlords like Lou Dalong to surrender, and had no time to return to Renjia Town.

"It's okay. It's not too late to thank your master when we meet again in the future." Uncle Jiu said.

Guan Shaoqing nodded, then turned to Uncle Jiu. "Thank you, Master, for your help. Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to handle that demon-like Nanyang wizard."

"You and I are master and disciple, there's no need to be so polite."

Uncle Jiu smiled and waved his hands, but deep down he was still very happy that the Guan family had unified eastern Guangdong.

"The main problem in unifying eastern Guangdong this time is Huang Hucheng and the Huang family. After Huang Hucheng and the Huang family are dealt with, the other small warlords will be easy to deal with."

Afterwards, Guan Shaoqing sat down and told his uncle Jiu about the general process of unifying eastern Guangdong.

Especially about Lou Dalong's surrender.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Jiu nodded slightly but did not make any further comments.

Guan Shaoqing sat at the charity cemetery for more than an hour before he stood up and prepared to leave.

At this time, Qiu Sheng and Wencai looked at Guan Shaoqing and spoke.

"Brother, now that you have unified the entire Guangdong Province, can we walk freely in Guangdong Province from now on?"

"Yes, if anyone dares to cause trouble for you, you can just tell me your name. Of course, the premise is that you don't cause trouble yourself. If you cause trouble outside, then I can't help you."

Upon hearing this, Guan Shaoqing said that if Qiu Sheng and Wencai were bullied, then as a senior brother, Guan Shaoqing would definitely not mind standing up for these two junior brothers.

But if Qiu Sheng and Wencai caused trouble themselves, Guan Shaoqing might not be able to help them, so he also gave them a warning.

After all, Guan Shaoqing knew that Qiu Sheng and Wencai were both tricky, so he had to take precautions in advance to prevent the two from using his name to cause trouble outside.

Uncle Jiu nodded upon hearing this.

"If you get bullied outside, you can report your senior brother's name, but if you cause trouble on your own, and dare to use your senior brother's name to do evil outside, I will be the first to clean up the mess."

Hearing Uncle Jiu's harsh words, Qiu Sheng and Wencai couldn't help but shrink their necks and responded quickly.

"Yes, Master, Brother, don't worry, we definitely won't."

Guan Shaoqing nodded upon hearing this.

"As long as you don't cause trouble, I, as your senior brother, will always protect you."

"Master, that's all for today. If there's nothing else, Tingting and I will leave first."

Finally, Guan Shaoqing said something to Uncle Jiu again and did not stay any longer. He took his cousin and left the charity cemetery.

"it is good."

Uncle Jiu also nodded and sent Guan Shaoqing to the door.

After leaving the charity cemetery, Guan Shaoqing and Ren Tingting went directly to Ren's house.

At this moment, Ren Fa was already instructing the servants to prepare dinner.

"uncle."

"Shaoqing is here, please come and sit down. I have asked someone to prepare dinner and we can eat soon."

"it is good."

Guan Shaoqing also responded with a smile and then sat down in the living room with Ren Fa to chat.

"Now that East Guangdong has been unified, what are Shao Qing's plans?"

"Although we have successfully eliminated and annexed Huang Hucheng and other warlords, our Guan family has indeed unified eastern Guangdong in name, but if we want to fully control it, we will definitely need some time to get going."

After all, being able to conquer a piece of land is one thing, but being able to completely control it is undoubtedly another.

Ren Fa couldn't help but nodded when he heard this, but generally speaking, the territory has been conquered, and it won't be difficult to control it as long as he spends more time and effort.

"I wonder if uncle is interested in a career in government?" Guan Shaoqing asked, "If uncle is interested, my father and I will arrange a job for him."

"Career!"

Ren Fa was immediately moved when he heard this. After all, which man could resist the temptation of being an official?

But after thinking about it, Ren Fa shook his head again.

"Uncle, I have been doing business for most of my life. It's okay for you to let me do business, but if I want to be an official, I'm afraid I don't have the ability to do it, and I can't leave my business now."

It is certainly impossible for Ren Fa to say that he does not want to be an official, but he has been doing business for most of his life and has never been an official. He is not sure whether he can do a good job, and he is too busy to handle the business he has now.

"Then I think it would be better if I discussed with my father about giving my uncle a nominal position. I'll keep the position for now, and as for the actual work, it won't be too late to actually take over after my uncle is familiar with it and has arranged the business affairs."

Guan Shaoqing immediately said again.

After all, he is my uncle, and he has nothing to say about me, so I must take care of him.

"That's not bad."

When Ren Fa heard what Guan Shaoqing said, he immediately agreed without any further hesitation and felt a little happy.

Afterwards, Ren Fa chatted with Guan Shaoqing about business matters for a while until they finished their meal.

"Dad, cousin, it's time to eat."
