Traveling through the millennium: creating a prosperous dynasty with you

Unexpectedly, the old Taoist priest agreed readily.

So he personally took the old Taoist priest to the cave. After the old Taoist priest's careful inspection and research, they finally decided to change the direction of the dragon vein in the cave.

This decision may seem simple, but in fact it requires extremely high skills and experience. The old Taoist priest uses the knowledge and skills he has accumulated over the years to carefully adjust the position and direction of the dragon vein.

Sure enough, for many years afterwards, his business became more and more prosperous, and he became an imperial merchant. Not only that, his daughter was also fortunate enough to enter the palace as a concubine and successfully gave birth to a smart and lovely little prince. As his status and wealth continued to grow, his ambitions also grew.

However, when he wanted to ask the old Taoist priest for help again, he found that the old Taoist priest had quietly left. After that, no matter how hard he looked, he could not find this mysterious master.

Qian Mingcheng said in surprise: "No wonder you wanted the Third Prince to seize the throne, it turns out you thought you had the dragon vein to protect you.

However, there may be another mystery! Since the old Taoist priest is a master, he should have anticipated everything. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that he agreed to help you activate the dragon vein so easily? Didn't he say something to you at that time? "

"I was so excited at that time that I didn't really care about what was said. What did I say exactly? It seems like I did say it. Let me think about it carefully..." He frowned, trying to recall the scene at that time.

Cheng Mingcheng quietly waited for him to think, and he was only concerned with dealing with the head of the Qian family, and did not pay attention to the situation in the surrounding cells. However, now that he looked carefully, he found that almost all the people imprisoned here were familiar faces to him.

His father's right-hand man, Chen Yan and his cronies, as well as the ministers who were directly involved, were imprisoned on the other side; and Princess Hao was also imprisoned here.

These people looked dazed and mentally broken, and they were obviously suffering from great torture and torment. Seeing this scene, Cheng Mingcheng couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder we have been talking here for so long without any interruption."

At this moment, he realized how strong his father's heart was.

Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard the head of the Qian family say, "Hmm... I seem to remember that he once said, 'Those who obey will prosper, and those who resist will perish.' At that time, I thought he meant to obey me! Hahaha, it turns out that what he really meant was that I should follow the will of heaven and the overall situation of the court!" At this point, the head of the Qian family couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The head of the Qian family suddenly realized something: "No wonder I couldn't find his trace no matter what I did. No wonder he told me before he left that the grudge between us was over and we would never meet again in this life... It turns out that everything was already destined."

"The princess and the prince later specially invited an expert to go to that place to check the situation. The expert said that when the old Taoist activated the dragon vein and set up the formation, he actually left a way out for you!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"An expert said that if someone who is not the true emperor activates the dragon vein, it will only bring countless unbearable disasters to the whole world, and may even trigger a new round of burning, killing, looting and war chaos. The purpose of this formation in the Dragon Canyon is to protect the tranquility and peace of this land and prevent the tragic deaths of innocent people caused by war."

"I see. Now I finally understand. The progress before was very smooth, but ever since the prediction made by the national teacher to King Chen was spread, I began to feel a vague sense of uneasiness deep in my heart. That's why I wanted to speed up the implementation of the plan. However, man proposes, God disposes. Just when we were about to achieve great success, we encountered a serious disaster that lasted for three years."

"If the goddess hadn't come, not only humans, but all life in the world would have been burned to death by the scorching heat! This is simply a terrible disaster!

"That's true. It seems that I was too arrogant." The head of the Qian family muttered to himself, with a look of regret on his face.

"Fortunately, the Goddess and King Chen discovered your plot in time and successfully stopped you. Otherwise, think about what the consequences will be and how many people will be implicated by you. You have eaten food from hundreds of families and worn clothes from hundreds of families. Are those really what you want to see?" Qian Mingcheng said excitedly, with anger flashing in his eyes.

After hearing this, the head of the Qian family felt a surge of fear, and tears could not stop flowing down his cheeks. He choked and said, “Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu…”

"Now that things have come to this, you don't have to do this. The emperor has done a great favor by not punishing all of my clans. Moreover, he has not implicated me, my mother, or my sister. He has not even touched the dowry prepared for my sister. Where can you find such a benevolent emperor? Why do you want to harm him?"

The head of the Qian family cried and said, "Wow, it's Dad's fault, wuwu, Dad is very wrong..." His voice was full of regret and self-blame.

Qian Mingcheng: "Now the emperor has granted me special permission to come and see you. Even though we are father and son, I will see you off for the last time."

The head of the Qian family knelt up straight and kowtowed three times in the direction of the emperor.

He then reached out to untie his hair and surprisingly, the middle piece was fake!

He carefully lifted the wig, took out a few yellowed papers from the wig, handed them to his son standing beside him, and said softly: "These are the only few mineral vein maps left in our family, and I have been reluctant to take them out.

Maybe this is God's will. I wanted to give them to Hao'er several times, but every time at the critical moment, something unexpected would happen, which ultimately prevented me from doing so. Haha, now it seems that all of this is destined to be left to my own son."

Qian Mingcheng took the drawings, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but was soon replaced by doubt. He looked at his father and asked, "Dad, are you really willing to hand over these precious mineral vein maps to me?"

The head of the Qian family smiled slightly, patted his son's shoulder, and said with emotion: "Of course, over the years, Daddy owed you and your son too much. Now, let's make up for it."

Qian Mingcheng was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something, and then he spoke again: "Since Dad trusts me so much and handed this mineral vein map to me, then no matter how I deal with it, Dad will not have any objection, right?"

The head of the Qian family sighed, a trace of helplessness and understanding flashed in his eyes, and he nodded slowly: "My son is very lucky, well, everything is up to you..."

"The Qian family has been stirring up trouble in Anguo for so many years, and they owe too much to the people of Anguo. Now, the goddess and King Chen are leading the people of the country to learn knowledge, build roads, and develop electricity... They need a lot of silver to support everything."

"Go ahead, just do it. Just think of it as accumulating some good karma for our Qian family. Maybe it can save me from suffering some torture after my death.

Cheng'er, please apologize to your mother and sister on my behalf. I have let them down in this life! I know in my heart that your mother has always been resentful of me, but she is also a person with a miserable life. You and Yingying must treat her well in the future."

Qian Chengming took the deeds with trembling hands, kowtowed three times to his father, stood up and left resolutely. He knew that he had a heavy responsibility, and secretly decided to dedicate these mines without reservation and invest them all in the construction and future development of Anguo.

Under the careful governance of the goddess and the king of Chen, Anguo will surely prosper day by day. The conspiracies and intrigues committed by his father in the past have also become a profound lesson in Qian Chengming's life journey, always reminding him to cherish the hard-won stable life in front of him and never forget his original beliefs and ideals.

Qian Chengming slowly walked out of the dark and damp prison, feeling as if his heart was being weighed down by a heavy burden.

He deeply understood that he was shouldering a vital mission at the moment. He had to make full use of these precious mineral resources to seek welfare for the people of Anguo and to atone for the sins that the Qian family had committed.

He told King Chen and his master the news about the mineral without hesitation. To their surprise, there were not only rich gold and silver mines here, but even precious coal mines!

Whether it is building wide and flat roads, or constructing spacious and bright schools, or working to improve people's lives, every task is urgent and vital, but none of them requires a lot of financial support.

These unexpected mineral resources have undoubtedly become the key to solving the problem, just like someone delivering a comfortable pillow in time when you are sleepy, making you feel extremely comforted.

At this time, Xu Zhen stepped forward and asked softly: "This is the wealth your father left you. Are you really willing to donate it all?"

Qian Chengming nodded without hesitation and answered firmly: "What he did back then almost plunged the entire country into turmoil, and the people were displaced. Now that I, my mother and my sister have been saved, it is the greatest gift God has given us. Now I have the honor of following my master and serving him, and I am already satisfied and have nothing else to ask for."

Hearing this, An Chen on the side couldn't help but feel a little jealous, and said sourly: "You are a rich young master, you have a good leisure life, but you insist on working for my wife. It's really puzzling."

After saying that, he shook his head helplessly, but a hint of admiration for Qian Chengming flashed in his eyes.

Xu Zhen rolled his eyes at him and asked, "Why can't you work under me? What do you mean? Do you look down on me?"

Seeing this, An Chen quickly smiled and said, "How dare I, I'm just a little envious. But to be honest, it's amazing that you have such awareness."

Qian Chengming smiled and said, "Under the planning of the master and the prince, Anguo is now increasingly prosperous. I believe that it won't be long before Anguo will become a great country that attracts worldwide attention."

Xu Zhen nodded and said, "That's right. Our current priority is to help each other build Anguo together so that the people of Anguo can live a peaceful and prosperous life."

The three of them smiled at each other, their hearts full of anticipation for the future.

Although Defu didn't say a word along the way, he listened carefully to every word they said and remembered it clearly.

The four of them have already left the clan house. Defu went back to report to the emperor, and Anchen and the other three left the palace and returned home.

Defu told the emperor about Qian Chengming's donation of the mineral vein. Upon hearing this, the emperor highly praised Qian Chengming's action.

"I didn't misjudge them, and it's not in vain that Chen'er pleaded for them."

"I didn't expect that old man Qian was so cunning that he actually hid those things in his hair."

"He started from scratch and became a royal merchant. How could he be an ordinary person? Now Chen'er and his wife have taken on so many good projects for Anguo, and the money they need is indispensable. It can be regarded as a good deed for old man Qian, so let's leave him with an intact body."

"Yes, your Majesty is wise."

the other side

Qian Mingcheng went back to the shop to work. Along the way, his master patiently told him about various precautions for chain franchising. Each suggestion was like a key that unlocked his doubts and anxieties. As he got to know more, he felt more at ease.

From today on, he secretly told himself that he would shoulder the responsibility of the family and become the backbone of the family. He was determined to give his mother and sister a home full of warmth and love.

My younger sister sent a message to say that she would be back in the next few days. The situation in the court was turbulent, and with such a big commotion, I guess she must have heard about her father's affairs and rushed back in a hurry.

At first, he didn't want his sister to see their father again. However, he had no idea what his sister was thinking. In that case, let it go!

He knew very well that his father was actually eager to see his mother and sister again. He seemed to be hesitant to speak many times, as if he had a thousand words to say but was unable to express them.

Perhaps, the father felt ashamed to face his wife and daughter, and thought he was unworthy of being a husband and a father.

Over the years, my father has been pursuing his own ambitions and completely ignored the feelings of his wife and children. Not only did he take a concubine and have a child behind his wife's back, but he also felt guilty about it.

Once, he mistakenly thought that his legitimate son was stupid and dull, and he praised the son born to his concubine.

It was not until today that he realized that the one who possessed great wisdom was actually his own son, and the father was filled with regret at this moment.

After Qian Mingcheng returned to the shop, he threw himself into his work like a tireless machine. He worked day and night, as if he wanted to numb the pain in his heart in this way.

A few days later, Qian Mingcheng's sister finally returned home. When she learned that her father had passed away, she collapsed and tears flowed out of her eyes like a flood. She could not accept this cruel reality and her heart was filled with endless sadness and despair.
