What the four patriarchs were thinking was.
Although Wang Shouyuan is only a prefect now, he is only a fourth-rank official and cannot be considered a high-ranking official.
But as long as we concentrate the power of all the nobles in Longyang.
It won’t be too difficult to get him promoted in the future.
In this way, Longyang Prefecture can also have a place among the gentry in the whole world.
When the land-based tax system is implemented nationwide in the future, it will definitely encounter obstacles and opposition.
And they can also take this opportunity to unite with the local gentry.
Get back all the profits you have lost now.
How is the court?
Could it be that by then, we will really be able to go against the gentry of the world?
As for choosing Wang Shouyuan, as the leader of the aristocratic family, he is the only candidate.
He can also become the representative of Longyang in uniting the gentry from all over the country in the future, without having to show up in person at that time, thus reducing a lot of dangers.
Moreover, the four clan leaders all believed that the other party had always wanted to integrate into the gentry and restore the glory of the Wang family.
So this is an offer that cannot be refused, he will definitely agree!
Besides, just tie the other party to the warship of the Longyang nobles.
Are you afraid that he will run away?
“No!”
But Wang Shouyuan quickly said at this time: "I have little experience. Even if I hold an official position, how can I become the leader of the Longyang clan?"
"Everyone, this is completely embarrassing for me. Let's choose someone else."
In fact, his second step plan.
He wanted these four clan leaders to nominate him to become the leader of the Longyang clan.
Then build on that.
Wang Shouyuan’s goal is to reach the highest point step by step!
He not only wants to become the leader of the Longyang gentry, but also the leader of the Jiangnan gentry and even the gentry of the world!
In this way, more favorable conditions will be created for the subsequent implementation of the land-based tax system across the country.
Then completely destroy the entire aristocratic family, so that the people of the world will no longer be exploited by the aristocratic family!
Obviously, my initial goal has finally been achieved!
But Wang Shouyuan appeared on the surface.
But he looked flattered and refused.
This is actually a tactic of playing hard to get. After all, when modifying something, you still have to do it.
Otherwise, it would appear too purposeful and utilitarian.
"Lord Wang!"
At this time, Mr. Huang Si said, "No one is more suitable than you, so don't refuse."
"Don't worry, anyone who dares to object will be an enemy of our four great families. From now on, with the four of us here, the Longyang nobles will follow Lord Wang's lead!"
"Yes, Lord Wang, please accept it."
"We will fully support you."
"That's right!"
At this time, the other three family heads also stood up and bowed slightly.
Although their words were not sincere when they said this, they still spoke.
Just as Wang Shouyuan expected. The four major families had no choice at all. It was impossible for them to do it themselves, right?
So I can only rely on him.
"this..."
Wang Shouyuan sighed, and finally said with a hint of resignation, "Then I...will be very disrespectful in declining this offer. However, I hope you will all give me your full support in the days ahead."
If Song Gongwen were present at this time, he would definitely be amazed at the superficial skills of his fellow disciple.
Even compared to the teacher, it is exactly the same.
It is indeed a continuation of the same lineage.
It almost made people believe it.
"What Lord Wang said."
Fourth Master Huang smiled and said, "From now on, we will all rely on Lord Wang."
If the gentry want to compete with the imperial court, they must have their own talents, which will make it much easier for them to act.
As the old saying goes, officials and businessmen never leave home.
They were unable to stop the land tax from being distributed according to the land area.
But if it's after.
When all the nobles in the world opposed it, Long Yang could not be absent, otherwise he would not even get a sip of soup.
"Don't worry, you all have been so kind to me and have elected me as the leader of the Longyang gentry. Naturally, I will do something. However, after the land tax is distributed, I will still need the help of the four family heads to unite the gentry from other places." Wang Shouyuan said with a smile.
He had been flattering the nobles for five years, so it was natural for him to say such things.
"Of course, of course!" The four clan leaders also laughed.
Said that after again.
He will spare no effort to help him completely integrate into the upper class of the Jiangnan gentry.
At the same time, all means will be used to help him move further up the position of prefect.
After all, he wanted to be respected by other local nobles.
This is indispensable.
Wang Shouyuan was naturally very happy when he heard this.
Now that I have become the leader of the aristocratic clan, we are all in the same boat.
Of course, when the time is ripe, he will sink the ship completely!
Then, Wang Shouyuan and the four family heads chatted and laughed, as if they were old friends who had known each other for many years. Someone even suggested that they celebrate with wine.
The people present finally began to let down their guard and told him many unknown secrets.
After five years of dormancy, he not only integrated into the core circle of the gentry.
And became a leader.
All the hard work over the years has finally paid off!
Of course, in order to deal with these people, Wang Shouyuan also made promises.
I will work harder in the next few days and write another hundred or eighty memorials to report to Song Gongwen.
At the same time, we advise Your Majesty to revoke the order to implement the land tax distribution system.
The four clan leaders were also very happy when they heard this.
Although they were frightened by the previous words, they still held on to a glimmer of hope.
At the same time, I feel that Wang Shouyuan can truly be considered a member of the aristocratic faction.
