Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 244
The three people who received Chai Shao's arrival were Dou Dan, Duan Lun and Yang Shidao.

Chai Shao's carriage had already arrived at Lanlingfang, and the three men who came also arrived on horseback.

"If they don't come, don't post to them again." Duan Lun glanced at him and said in a bad tone.

Duan Lun: The son of Duan Wenzhen, former Shangshu of the Ministry of War of the Sui Dynasty. After Li Yuan raised his troops, he gathered tens of thousands of people to retreat to Lantian and wait for the response. He is definitely Li Yuan's diehard loyalist.And he is also the consort of Princess Gaomi, the fourth daughter of Li Yuan.

He has just returned to Chang'an. Before that, he guarded the land of Shu and had the right to grant officials and private offices.

Some people said that he wanted to rebel, so he returned to Chang'an in a fit of anger, and asked Li Yuan to send people to guard Bashu again.

In a word, just ignore it and see who will speak ill of me.

Duan Lun is straight-tempered, and has a strong personality, which offends a lot of people.As soon as he saw Liu Mu, he pointed at Liu Mu and shouted: "You are not good, you didn't tell me about the Bingzhou War, you don't know that I will return to Chang'an in April?"

Liu Muxin said, I know who you are, but I don't know you.

Dou Dan hurriedly came up to persuade: "Don't be noisy, you didn't go to Sanyuan when you went back to Chang'an, you brought back many gifts from Shu, and you didn't go to Sanyuan to give Liu Mu a special gift."

"Nonsense, I didn't give you the presents I brought back. Those things are for women. Gao Mi went to visit Changping, but this stingy guy didn't even have a full-length mirror."

"I don't have either. There is only one full-length mirror in the world." Chai Shao added next to him.

"I'm going to find someone to reason with. I'm guarding Lingzhou. The Bingzhou War was fought to the end, and I received an order at the end. I brought 2 people there for a run, and went back after seeing the excitement in the city." It is Yang Shidao.

The youngest son of former Sui Guan Wang Yang Xiong, Princess Guiyang was defeated and captured, and would rather die than surrender.

Poor Princess Guiyang was alone, Li Yuan made the decision to marry Princess Guiyang to Yang Shidao, and he valued Yang Shidao very much.

"You three bastards rushed back from Youzhou and walked thousands of miles with [-] soldiers and horses. I didn't even have a chance to watch the excitement in the city. I just set up a formation. Say you, Yang Shidao, you led the rear team that intercepted and killed Jieli, and got tens of thousands of sheep and thousands of horses."

"He Qin Shubao got tens of thousands of horses and millions of sheep. There are countless rewards in the army, but each of my 2 people didn't even get a single sheep."

Willow looked up at the sky, completely as if he was deaf, and heard nothing.

Several people were arguing about the Bingzhou War, and the last two arrived.

They hesitated, wondering if they should come.

One is Feng Shaoshi, Princess Changsha's son-in-law.He is timid and cowardly, but he is dedicated to his duties as an official.The other person is Lu Huairang, Princess Wanchun's consort.This Princess Wanchun was renamed Princess Changsha many years later.

"Let's go." Chai Shao signaled to start.

With these two people coming back, Yang Shidao and Duan Lun stopped arguing and talked about some interesting things cheerfully.

The mansion in the south of the city of the Liu family.

The patriarch Liu Chongchong happened to be here. As the patriarch of the distinguished family, he was entitled to watch the ceremony during the first two days of sacrifice.And if he wanted the Liu family to make a difference, Liu Chongchong, the patriarch of the Liu family, thought it would be better for him to stay in Chang'an.

I am considering whether to buy a house in Chang'an City.

Hearing that there was a visitor, and looking at the post, it turned out to be a joint name of six sons-in-law, among them Chai Shao is the Duke of the State, Yang Shidao is the Duke of the County, and Duan Lun is the King of the County.

Liu Chongchong immediately ordered the middle door of the house to be opened for ritual and music preparations.Then go out to welcome ten miles by yourself.

Liu Mu followed these people, and five of the six were Dugu Lanruo's brother-in-law. Li Shimin was half a year younger than the fifth princess, Princess Guiyang, and half a year older than Princess Wanchun.

All parties greeted each other and welcomed them into the Liu family mansion.

Liu Mu greeted Liu Chongchong as the patriarch according to the ceremony, and his great-grandparents once again performed the grand ceremony in the clan.

"Grandpa, Mu, a descendant of the Liu family, will get married soon, so please allow me to offer sacrifices to my ancestors."

"Okay, okay." Liu Chongchong said two good things in succession, and then ordered: "Prepare immediately, then the ancestral hall will be opened at an auspicious time, and I will tell the ancestors that another member of my Liu clan has established a household, and will spread branches and leaves."

Willows are people, but no one in Chang'an regards willows as people.

It is Cui Yiye, an old-fashioned aristocratic child who is full of pride, who classifies Liu Mu as a nobleman.

This kind of promotion and relegation, relegation and promotion is not important, the important thing is that Liu Mu has status.It's not the status of a son-in-law, but the right to speak above the court.

Therefore, even if the members of the Liu clan were a little unconvinced, they could not stop Liu Mu's request to open the ancestral hall.

After sitting down, Chai Shao pulled Liu Mu: "You seem to have forgotten to contribute a little to the clan?"

Chai Shao's voice is not low, it can be said that everyone sitting here heard it.

Generally speaking, at this time, if the clan members become talented and famous, they will donate their clan property.Or building ancestral halls, or building roads, or helping the poor in the clan, etc.

For example, when Qin Qiong married the Liu family's aunt, he gave the Liu family a thousand dans of millet and [-] yuan to build a bridge.

Then, it was Liu Mu's turn at this time, and the members of the Liu clan were waiting for how much Liu Mu would come up with.Liumu cannot be compared with Yi Guogong, but it is more appropriate to pay [-] yuan for the renovation of the ancestral hall.

Liu Mu sat there with his chin in his hands, thinking.

At this time, one of the Liu family said: "Contributing to the family is the most important thing, so there is no need to be embarrassed. Even if there is only one coin, as long as you have a big family in your heart, it will be a good thing."

"Yes." Liu Chongchong said the same thing.

"Hedong has been thought to be the Golden Triangle of the Yellow River since ancient times, and it is quite entangled. Although many people in our family look down on me as a countryman, I am also a member of the Liu family. To put it bluntly, I just can't trust many people in our family, so It’s only because of the entanglement.” Liu Mu said bluntly.

Chai Shao laughed loudly: "Could it be that you can turn Hedong into a cornucopia overnight?"

Liu Mu rolled his eyes at Chai Shao: "Don't be unconvinced, I, Liu Mu, can turn any place in the world into a cornucopia. When the time comes, you will guard Youzhou. If you don't have 600 million yuan or equivalent goods in the first year, I will dare to write a letter." Impeachment requires replacement. In the second year, 3000 million yuan."

Chai Shao's smile froze on his face.

Datang's current treasury's total annual revenue is about 400 million guan, only the city of Youzhou, this bitter and cold place does not count as its own consumption, just handing over to Chang'an will cost 23 guan, Chai Shao can't decide.

You know, the state capital of Rongbian is losing money every year, so it needs subsidies from Chang'an.

Liu Mu sneered: "It will be stable in three years, and you will be handed over 50 coins a year. If you lose one copper plate, I will bite you."

After saying this, Liu Mu got up and saluted Liu Chong: "Grandfather, I have a headache, can I go back to rest, and allow me to report my contribution to the clan before the sacrifice tomorrow morning."

"Then go to rest first, I will send someone to deliver a ginseng tea."

Someone took Liu Mu to the back room, Chai Shao gave him a wink, and the other five sons-in-law saluted Liu Chong, expressing that they were tired from the journey and wanted to rest.
