, This son-in-law is very stable

The next day, Zhang Weiyou woke up. After washing up, he saw that the two sisters were waiting for him in the courtyard. He ignored them and walked to the front hall first. The two sisters looked at each other and smiled. They knew that he was a little unlucky, so they didn't care, so they hurriedly followed.

After greeting each other, the family finished breakfast, Zhang Weiwei and his father-in-law came to the study and told Yang Zhiyuan what he thought.

"My father-in-law, what do you think?"

"This..." Yang Zhiyuan pondered. After all, Zhang Jian is not a member of the Yang family. The only connection is Zhang Wei. If Zhang Jian married her, it seems that it does not mean much to the Yang family.

Zhang didn't know what he was hesitating and said, "My father-in-law, the reason why I want to do this is that our Yang family is not able to reach the right person to be the governor Gao Zhi. My brother Zhang Jian passed the imperial examination and was already in love with the governor's daughter. The other is that he took the opportunity to tie the Zhang family to the Yang family's chariot."

"Oh?" Yang Zhiyuan was a little confused and said, "Why is this?"

"Although the Yang family is huge, the talents are limited after all, and we will continue to integrate into other people's development in the future. There are already 100,000 people on Crescent Island, all of which are considered vassals of the Yang family, and the Zhang family is also among them. It is not impossible to marry into the prefect through the Zhang family." Zhang Weihan explained with a smile.

"Well..." Yang Zhiyuan was still hesitant and said, "But the clan would not agree. They would think that you are borrowing the benefits of the Yang family and favoring the Zhang family. This matter may cause their dissatisfaction."

"This is just taking advantage of the situation. If someone else has a relationship with the daughter of a big man, we will support it, but which big man's legitimate daughter will marry a businessman?" Zhang Wei explained with a smile.

In this era, the four people were divided into scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. Merchants were at the last place, and even the officialdom had a hidden rule, that is, merchants should not be officials. In addition to mines, most of the people in the Yang family were doing business, which is also an important reason why there were few scholars in the family.

The Zhang family is a family-running study. Although it is considered poorer than the wealthy Yang family, its social status is higher than that of the Yang family. This is the consensus of this era. It generally looks down on businessmen. It can have interests but will not marry, otherwise it may become a loophole for political enemies to attack.

Yang Zhiyuan naturally knew this truth. His original idea was to select one from other branches of the Yang family. After all, the Yang family was huge, and of course there were also people who did not work in business, but they did not have age and status.

"Okay, let's call the Hui people to discuss matters and see if they can convince them." Yang Zhiyuan was not very optimistic, but when he thought that the Yang family would also hand it over to his son-in-law in the future, he nodded in agreement.

The two returned to the clan and soon all the branches arrived. Some were not in Sanwu, and representatives also attended. Yang Zhiyuan first talked about Zhang Wei's thoughts.

"In other words, Xiao Wei means not to reduce production capacity, but to find new sales channels! One of them is the court!"

"Nonsense!" One of the old men of the Yang family interrupted: "What we are doing now is the work of licking blood on the tip of a knife. If the court knew about it, wouldn't it be a trap?"

"Fourth brother is not impatient, he is definitely not going to fall into the trap. Xiao Wei has already thought about this matter very well." As soon as Yang Zhiyuan opened his mouth, he attributed all the matter to Zhang Wei. He is continuing to establish authority for Zhang Wei.

"How to be thorough?" The old man who was called the fourth brother frowned, and others also talked about it, and they all felt that it was a bit risky to cooperate with the court.

Yang Zhiyuan smiled calmly and said, "First of all, we will not tell the court that we are selling weapons, but we can build weapons. Secondly, if you want to do business with the court, you must have a backer."

"Our Yang family's military strategy has been passed down, and there is no scholar. How can we get a backer? Could it be that if we want to surrender to any senior official? I'm afraid that people will look down on you?" This time it was Yang Zhining who spoke.

"The Prince of Wang in Fengcheng is the best choice, because he has a close relationship with the Privy Council, and the Privy Council commands all the troops in Dayan. Giving us a little bit will be enough for us to have a lot of money." Yang Zhiyuan did not tell the whole story at once, but guided the Yang family little by little.

"But the prefect Wang is also a member of the party. Although he has some interests in our Yang family and even talks to us, how can he help us build a bridge and even be our backer?" He was puzzled again.

"This matter involves a secret. Whether you agree or not, you must not spread the word. Otherwise, you will not only not be able to make friends with the prefect Wang, but also offend him!"

Yang Zhiyuan smiled mysteriously. The statement that this matter was discussed with Zhang Wei was to increase the mystery and make everyone more convinced. Secondly, it was true. If there was a gossip about the magistrate's daughter, I am afraid that the magistrate Wang would definitely follow it to the end.

"Don't worry, this is our own family. Who would talk nonsense about things that are not good for the family?" The old man named Yang Zhiyuan's fourth brother was the first to express his opinion, and everyone agreed and nodded.

"Xiao Wei's brother, the son of the Zhang family leader, and the new juren who passed the autumn examination this year is named Zhang Jian. He and the daughter of the prefect Wang have a good impression of each other. However, under the pressure of the prefect Wang, he has never dared to propose marriage,"

Yang Zhiyuan said it tactfully, but everyone understands that Shi Qing is afraid that it is not only that simple, but the Yang family looks at each other, and the meaning is very obvious: Have you been privately determined for life? Otherwise, how can it be considered secret? But everyone is wondering, is it that he used this matter to threaten the prefect Wang? I am afraid that he offended people for nothing!

Seeing everyone confused, Yang Zhiyuan explained with a smile: "Now, many members of the Zhang family are on Crescent Island and are making a living under my Yang family. Xiaowei is from the Zhang family again, so the Zhang family is already in the same mood as our Yang family. It is considered a family. Why don't we do a good job and help? If Zhang Jian marrys the magistrate's daughter, then will we have contact with the magistrate's family even if they are in-laws?"

"What does this have to do with the Yang family? Wouldn't it be a waste of money on the Zhang family?"

The old man who was called the fourth brother by Yang Zhiyuan was the first to question it. Since Yang Zhiyi was entrusted with important tasks by Zhang Wei, Yang Zhining has rarely opposed Zhang Wei. The fourth brother took the banner of questioning when he saw the opportunity.

This old man, known as the Fourth Brother, is the head of a branch of the Yang family's development, named Yang Zhiwu. Every time he raises questions, he simply increases his presence. In fact, he doesn't have much say, but his ideas do represent some of the Yang family.

"No! The fourth brother should know that our Yang family is all merchants, and the family members of the prefect will not marry us. This method is to establish a marriage between the Zhang family and the prefect. Although it is separated by a layer, it also avoids the family relationship. It is not a cheap Zhang family, but rather for the development of the Yang family!"

Yang Zhiyuan looked solemn and knew that the next highlight was the highlight. Sure enough, Yang Zhiwu disappointed him and ignored his words at all. Instead, he pointed to Zhang Wei and said, "Since your son-in-law has already married, he is from my Yang family. Is his butt sitting a little crooked when he put forward this suggestion?"

"The fourth uncle is polite!" At this time, Zhang Wei had to stand up and salute him, but asked unceremoniously: "If this strategy is done, the Zhang family will establish a marriage with the prefect, which is considered a profit, but the Yang family can achieve the goal of cooperation with the court through this marriage."

He paused, narrowed his eyes and said, "This is a win-win situation, who can say that there is a good reputation?"
