Datang Nongwang

Chapter 676
The unhappiness of the uncle and nephew all fell into the housekeeper's eyes.

The butler is not a fool, he is smart.

As the housekeeper of my family, I have seen and learned from all kinds of people. In addition to my age, I have come into contact with all kinds of people in Chang'an and during my 20 years and nearly 30 years as a housekeeper in my family. .

As long as there is a slight change in the other party's words or expression, the housekeeper can judge some general psychological activities of the other party.

To be happy or unhappy, to be angry or not to be angry, to be unhappy or happy.

In short.

The housekeeper knew how unhappy the uncle and nephew were.

Qi Wen's uncle and nephew were unhappy, and Ruo De's housekeeper was also unhappy.

"What do you two think! You want to go back before the murderer got the punishment he deserved? In this world, there is no such good thing. You Qi Family Dalang killed me, Xiang Family, and I Xiang Family slaughtered you!" Guys, do you think this is the end? That's just the beginning." When the butler was upset, he spoke with a hint of murderous intent.

As soon as Qi Wen heard the butler's words and saw the butler's expression, he knew that his uncle and nephew might have offended this one in front of him.

Immediately, Qi Wen hurriedly cupped his hands to the housekeeper and said: "Steward Xiang, my uncle and nephew are not looking for trouble this time, but sincerely hope to redeem my eldest nephew from you. We also know , What my eldest nephew committed is indeed enough to die several times. To the housekeeper, you should take pity on my Qi family. As long as my eldest nephew can come back, as long as my Qi family has something, just ask the housekeeper. .”

It's changed.

The original displeased and angry attitude of the pair of uncles and nephews was gone.

Turned into a begging.

When the butler heard this, his face softened a little.

Thinking in mind.

The Qi family is engaged in shipbuilding and is also responsible for the construction of ships for the imperial court. Their strength should not be underestimated.

rich.

Just two words, rich.

But no matter how rich he is, the Qi family really killed his Xiang family members, and the housekeeper would rather see the Qi family fall down and never recover.

What's more, the housekeeper would rather see the Qi family disappear from this world.

but.

Qi Wennai was an official of the imperial court. Even if he was dismissed from the position of servant of the household department and changed to Jianzhou Biejia, he was still a fifth-rank official.

Although the housekeeper intends to let the Qi family be wiped out.

But if a court official was killed, and at the moment, a court official was killed, the court would definitely suspect that it was the Li family or the Xiang family who did it.

but.

Don't kill, the housekeeper has always had a hurdle in his heart.

The two of the Xiang family died at the hands of the Qi family, and the steward was very sad.

Up to now.

Thirty-six and twenty-three are still in Xiangjia, and they have not been buried yet.

and.

The elders of Thirty-six and Twenty-three, as well as their wives and children, are still heartbroken. How could the housekeeper directly agree to the request of the two uncles and nephews.

According to the thoughts in the housekeeper's mind.

Na Qi Feng was determined to drag him to the graves of Sanliu and Ersan, and then he chopped off Qi Feng's head in front of their graves.

By doing this, it can be regarded as avenging Sanliu and Ersan.

"You want to go back to your Qi Family Dalang, this matter is not what you think. The Qi Family and my Xiang Family Li Family have feuded, and you want to go back to your Qi Family Dalang just because of you, what do you think? Is it possible?" The butler stood up.

The butler doesn't want to talk about this matter.

Moreover, even if we talk about it again, the housekeeper knows that he can't be the master.

This matter must be left to the old lady to be the master.

Even if the old lady doesn't make the decision, Li Chongyuan, the young man, should be the one to make the decision.

The butler got up and asked his servants to send Qi and Wen away.

But Uncle Qi Wen and nephew still begged endlessly, hoping that the housekeeper could convey their appeal to Li Chongyuan on their behalf, "Xiang Steward, as long as my eldest nephew can be redeemed, as long as my Qi family has it, we will never be ambiguous. Please tell the housekeeper what I have said to Mr. Li on my behalf."

The butler didn't speak.

After the servants took the two of them out of the mansion, the steward also left the mansion after staying in Li Chongyuan's mansion for a short time, and went to his home.

"How? Uncle and nephew Qi Wen must have come here for Qi Feng, right? What did they say?" Li Chongyuan asked curiously when he saw the butler came back.

Li Chongyuan originally expected that the two uncles and nephews Qi Wen came this time must be for Qi Feng.

And this matter was just as Li Chongyuan expected.

The housekeeper nodded and replied: "Then Uncle Qi Wen and his nephew really came here for Qi Feng this time. However, when they saw me and asked for their request, they were very dissatisfied and unhappy. However, don’t worry, Mr. Xiaolang, I did not agree to their request, and that Qi Feng must die. Before leaving, Qi Wen and his wife also said that they were willing to exchange a huge amount of wealth for Qi Feng. It’s ridiculous. Even if the family has more money, can we give up hatred for the sake of money?"

money.

The butler really didn't notice it.

Of course, it is impossible for Li Chongyuan to see it.

Our family is not poor now.

With Yingbinlou, a profitable restaurant, and Li Chongyuan having so many properties, how could the family be short of money.

Even if the brothers split the family, as long as the old lady is still there, the money will be distributed to the brothers.

Even if the old lady goes someday.

As long as Li Chongyuan and his brothers have a good relationship, there will be no shortage of money.

Using money to redeem Qi Feng is really just like what the housekeeper said, what a joke.

but.

Whether it's my family or Li Chongyuan, although he is not short of money.

But after Li Chongyuan heard the words, his mind became active.

The Li family is not short of money, and Li Chongyuan has a lot of money, especially the amazing wealth that Chen Juan and the others looted from the sea.

But what does the Qi family do?

What the Qi family has always been doing is shipbuilding, and this building has been going on for hundreds of years.

hundreds of years.

This hand must have some technology about ships, as well as shipbuilding talents.

When Li Chongyuan thought of the shipbuilding talents in the hands of the Qi family, and some ship technology, Li Chongyuan was moved.

Indeed.

Li Chongyuan lacked shipbuilding talents.

Even though he has a large shipyard and a medium-sized shipyard, the speed of shipbuilding is really slow.

Only seven or eight ships are launched a year.

With this speed of shipbuilding, Li Chongyuan estimated that it would take at least ten years to build a huge fleet.

ten years.

Li Chongyuan couldn't wait, and couldn't wait.

Now that Li Chongyuan is approaching the crowning ceremony, if it takes ten years to build a fleet, Li Chongyuan will be in his thirties by then.

He was in his thirties, and Li Yuan was probably dead, even Li Shimin was dead.

Without these two, if Li Chongyuan wants to climb to the top, it is really not that simple.

If Li Zhi became the emperor, Li Chongyuan would still feel a little nervous.

It's not that Li Chongyuan doesn't believe in Li Zhi.

It's that Li Zhi is not as tough as Li Shimin, and he is not as visionary as Li Shimin, and he is not as courageous as Li Shimin.

If at that time he returns from a long voyage with countless crop seeds, maybe Li Zhi will just give Li Chongyuan a title and a promotion to an official position.

Then he threw these seeds and so on to the officials below for manipulation.

When that time really comes, Li Chongyuan will really lose more than he gains.

and so.

When Li Chongyuan heard that the Qi family was willing to pay a high price for Qi Feng, Li Chongyuan was moved.

Qi Feng was disabled, and was turned into a human stick by Chen Juan and the others.

For such a person, life is more painful than death.

At the same time, Qi Feng's appearance will allow him to enjoy this kind of suffering that others cannot enjoy in the days to come.

Words cannot be spoken, words cannot be written, and things cannot be seen.

Can't even move.

This is comparable to a living dead.

This kind of punishment is more pleasant than beheading him.

"Butler, you can't say that. The Qi family is only left with Qi Wen's family and Qi Yu. Moreover, Qi Feng has already been disabled by us. If the Qi family is willing to redeem Qi Feng, I will come I have no objection." Li Chongyuan was moved, at least Li Yan was currently moved.

The shipbuilding talents of the Qi family are exactly what Li Chongyuan needs.

If these people can be exchanged with the useless Qi Feng, Li Chongyuan will be fine.

Anyway, Qi Feng has been so useless that it can no longer be used, and it is useless to keep it. It is better to use Qi Feng to exchange some people back, so that his shipyard can speed up the progress.

When the butler suddenly heard Li Chongyuan's words, he was a little dumbfounded.

The butler looked at Li Chongyuan in a daze, and never expected that Li Chongyuan would say these words, "Little Lang, the Qi family and we have a bloody feud, Xiao Lang, how could you just give this to me for some money?" Will the enmity be erased? No, I have to ask the old lady for instructions on this matter, and let the old lady be the master."

Seeing the back of the butler heading towards the middle courtyard, Li Chongyuan shook his head.

The butler didn't understand what he was thinking.

And it was impossible for Li Chongyuan to explain everything clearly and plainly.

even.

After Li Chongyuan returned to Beijing, he did not elaborate on Qi Feng's current state, but only said that Qi Feng was disabled by him.

As for how cruel it is, it is naturally impossible for Li Chongyuan to explain it carefully. Could it be that he told the old lady and everyone that Qi Feng was cut into a stick by Chen Juan and the others?
"This housekeeper really doesn't get in. But it's fine, as long as Aunt agrees, then the next thing will be easier." Li Chongyuan looked towards the direction of the inner courtyard, then raised his legs to go inside.

Shortly after.

The butler came out of the inner courtyard with some unwillingness and an expression of displeasure.

And this moment.

Li Chongyuan stood in front of the old lady's bed, whispering something, "Aniang, Qi Feng is already a useless person. He can't move, speak, speak, or even look. And now that the Qi family wants to redeem him, it just happens to use waste. I know that A Niang feels a little uncomfortable, but as long as you give the child some time, let alone the Qi family, even if it is the entire Tang Dynasty, the shipbuilding business in the future will be a thing of the past. honor us."

"You, you. Auntie won't talk about you anymore. Anyway, you can make up your own mind about this matter. And you slaughtered the Qi family for the sake of Thirty Six and Twenty Three. You have avenged yourself. As for the murderer, it is up to you to decide, A Niang will not get involved." The old lady knew in her heart that the son in front of her probably wanted to exchange Qifeng for money.

The Qi family is rich, and she knows it very well.

She also knew that Li Chongyuan needed money.

And she knew even more that Li Chongyuan even slaughtered his family in order to avenge Saliu and Nian San.Even because of this incident, he was demoted and dismissed from his official position.

Although the old lady was a little unwilling, it was the only way to go.

At least, she knew in her heart that she needed to appease the son in front of her. Even if she felt uncomfortable, she had to do what the son in front of her wanted.

No matter how.

Whether it's Li Chongyuan's idea or his practice, the old lady doesn't understand.

By exchanging Qi Feng for the Qi family's shipbuilding talents, Li Chongyuan is not only for himself, but also for others, and even more for the Li family.

His title of county king was demoted and he became a county magistrate.

The post of governor was dismissed, anyway, there is still a chance to climb up in the future.

But if the title wants to rise, it is not possible to rise after becoming an official.

There must be credit, and there must be great credit.

Otherwise, everything is useless.

talk.

Let's talk.

However, Li Chongyuan still did not show up.

The butler also stopped showing up.

Because Li Chongyuan wanted to exchange Qi Feng for money, this made the housekeeper very upset.

And Li Chongyuan also knew his own reasons, which made the housekeeper uncomfortable. Naturally, it was impossible to hand over this matter to the housekeeper to discuss with Qi Wen, uncle and nephew.

For this reason, Li Chongyuan directly handed over the matter to his housekeeper Qi Huo to discuss.

of course.

It is also impossible for Li Chongyuan to take the initiative in this conversation, and Li Chongyuan still waits for Qi Wen's uncle and nephew to come to the door on their own initiative before continuing the conversation.

In the next few days.

Qi Huo mediates with Qi Wen's uncle and nephew.

You advance and I retreat, you retreat and I advance, the general fighting method.

In order to help Li Chongyuan get more shipyard talents, Qi Huo also used some means.

Either I don't have time today, or I have something to do tomorrow, or I only have a quarter of an hour free the day after tomorrow.

And after this method came out, Qi Wen's uncle and nephew were as anxious as ants on the hot pot, and sent people to watch the Yingbin Building every day, wanting to see if Qi Huo was really free.

at last.

After several rounds of confrontation, Qi Huo finally figured out the details of the Qi family, "Xiao Langjun, according to your instructions, I finally figured out how many shipbuilders there are in the Qi family shipyard."

"How many?" Seeing Qi Huo come back, Li Chongyuan knew that the matter was almost done.

Qi Huo stretched out a palm and said: "There are 50 master shipbuilders in the Qi family. And these fifty master shipbuilders have hundreds of apprentices, and these hundreds of people, if they are at their level, can Be a great craftsman. As for the other shipbuilders, there are no less than 5000 of them.”

"So many?" Li Chongyuan was really shocked after hearing this.

There are 50 master shipbuilders alone, which is not a small number. This is one-fifth of the total number of shipbuilders in the Tang Dynasty.
