Datang Nongwang

Chapter 69 Get him?

Li Zhao was really curious about Li Chongyuan.

In the past two days, he was on business in Chang'an, and he had heard something about Li Chongyuan's recent troubles.

Just like the little bear beating the drum, he heard that it was Li Chongyuan who made it.

However, the little bear drums sold in Chang'an City at this time were no longer made by Li Chongyuan, but a large number of imitations.

And he, Li Zhao, also bought one for his daughter.

Li Chongyuan looked at Li Zhao and said: "Cousin, it must be useful for me to buy wasteland. I am going to plant some things. There is no ready-made land here. Otherwise, I would not come to you to buy land."

"You? Farming?" Upon hearing this, Li Zhao told Li Chongyuan what he wanted to buy wasteland to plant, and his mind became more and more confused.

However, he had heard that Li Chongyuan, who was above the imperial court, wanted to lower his status to farm the land.

Now, I didn't expect this to come true.

However, Li Zhao did not show any ill intentions towards what Li Chongyuan did.

Among the descendants of the Li family, although it is the first case to surrender their status to farming, there are many other strange characters.

Li Zhao has been an official for so many years, and his mind has long been stable.

"Oh, cousin, I don't understand this matter with you. You will know after two years. Can you help me?" Li Chongyuan knew that he was just like others, and he was ashamed of his own farming experience. Things cast curious eyes, and hurriedly changed the subject.

Li Zhao smiled, "Help, how can you help? Give you that piece of wasteland? But I have to ask about it."

"Cousin, you are really my lucky star. When my steward came this morning, I was sent back by your boss. Even when I came, he blocked the door. Fortunately, you are the magistrate of Hu County. Otherwise, I really want to beat Master Cui until his wife can't recognize him." Li Chongyuan shouted happily when he got Li Zhao's words.

"You, you, haven't you had enough trouble in Chang'an? The chief secretary Cui is not so easy to fight. He is a house minister. Although he is only a small master book, other than being a house minister Besides, he is a member of the Cui family, if you really hit him, do you know the consequences?" Li Zhao hurriedly tried to persuade him.

When Li Chongyuan heard that he was from the Cui family, his heart skipped a beat.

Of course, Li Chongyuan knew about the Cui family.

King Cui Luzheng.

These four families can be said to be the largest family at present.

Cui Lu's family has the most officials in the court.

As for Zheng Wang's family, there are relatively few, but there are many officials from various places.

Moreover, these four families control every lifeline in today's world.

Just like the Wang family, they control most of the salt roads in the Tang country.

Salt, everyone has to eat, and it is still a must.

The Wang family controls about [-]% of the salt road in the Tang country, so you know how powerful it is.

Moreover, the profit of salt is definitely the largest in the world.

Why?

Because there is no such thing as a salt tax in the Tang Dynasty.

From now on, we know how rich the Wang family is.

Li Chongyuan thought for a while and said, "Cousin, don't you think you can't do anything about him? Or is your master book specifically aimed at me?"

"Aiming at you? It probably won't happen!" Li Zhao shook his head after hearing Li Chongyuan's words.

"Cousin, didn't you say that he is a person with the surname of Fang? My family and the person with the surname of Fang are inseparable. He must know that my family has an enmity with the person with the surname of Fang. Otherwise, why would he target me?" Li Chongyuan insisted on his own opinion. .

"Hiss, it's not impossible for you to say that." Li Zhao nodded after being said by Li Chongyuan after thinking for a while.

Li Chongyuan's family, and the entanglement with Fang Xuanling, he still knows something.

If it wasn't for Li Chongyuan's mention, Li Zhao wouldn't have thought of it.

However, whether it is true or not, Li Zhao is not sure.

Besides, the person surnamed Cui was only a small county chief. Even though he was Fang Xuanling, Li Zhao was beginning to doubt whether he was targeting Li Chongyuan on purpose.

However, then again.

It can be said that Fang Xuanling has been licking the family.

Big and small things, never forget the aristocratic family.

Moreover, Fang Xuanling's wife is also a collateral branch of the family, and his two concubines are also members of the family.

It can be seen from this that Fang Xuanling is the representative of the aristocratic family, and is also the biggest representative of the official in the court.

As far as the moment is concerned, when Li Shimin is on the pilgrimage, it can be said that he has been trying his best to suppress the aristocratic family.

He did not hesitate to reuse the children of poor families, and even followed the imperial examinations of the previous dynasty to obtain scholars.

However, there are still too many people related to the aristocratic family in various parts of the Tang Dynasty.

No matter whether it is a door shade or a recommendation, at least [-] to [-]% of the people are related to the aristocratic family.

Seeing that Li Zhao was brought in by his own words, Li Chongyuan wondered in his heart whether he should mess with that Cui guy.

Immediately, Li Chongyuan made the next decision in his mind, and said to Li Zhao with a smile: "Cousin, I don't think your director is a good person. The wasteland that was originally priced at [-] yuan per mu, he dared to pay you if you were not in the county government. Asking me for three pennies and one mu, it can be seen from this incident that your master must have done countless disgusting things behind your back."

"Chong Yuan, you need evidence for what you say, otherwise you are framing the court officials and you will be held accountable." After Li Zhao heard the words, he would not know what Li Chongyuan was doing.

It's just that, even though he wanted to sway Master Cui, without conclusive evidence, he really couldn't easily sway this person.

Not to mention that he is the head of a county, let alone that he is a housekeeper, and he comes from an aristocratic family, if there is a move, it will definitely affect the whole body.

If he really wants to move, there must be conclusive evidence of evil, otherwise, if he really moves, Li Zhao can't bear it and walk around.

"Cousin, don't worry, give me a month, and I will be able to help you figure out what kind of guy he is. I still don't believe it. There are still cats in this world who don't steal fish." Li Chongyuan said heavily. nodded, as if giving Li Zhao an affirmative answer.

But at this time, Li Zhao saw that Li Chongyuan had such a firm belief, but in his heart he was wondering how Li Chongyuan would act.

Afterwards, Li Chongyuan talked to Li Zhao again, and at the end, he did not forget to ask him for a few people.

And these few people are not from the county government, but servants of Li Zhao's mansion.

The servants that Li Chongyuan wanted to come were not ordinary servants, but generals who had fought with Li Zhao's father in the battlefield.

However, Li Zhao's father died two years before the Wude period, leaving him and Li Zhao's two brothers.

Moreover, Li Zhao's father once caused a trouble, and was almost dismissed as a noble. If Li Xiaogong and his brothers hadn't dealt with each other, maybe Li Zhao's family would have been demoted to common people long ago.
