Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 689

After listening to Liu Chongchong's explanation, Liu Mu understood.

"Understood, then which room do I count?" Liu Muxin said that there are so many belongings in a family.

Liu Chongchong replied: "Sanyuanfang, isn't your father's tombstone engraved with the words Sanyuanfang of the Hedong Liu family? He is still a member of the Hedong Liu family."

When Liu Chongchong explained, Liu Zifang arrived.

Liu Chongchong explained the current moment in a few words, and then said: "Mu means to let Zi Shao propose marriage to the Cui family of Qinghe, and take the first wife's daughter."

"This, it can't be." Liu Zifang knew very well that the Hedong Liu family was not yet qualified to marry the first wife of the Qinghe Cui family.

"Uncle Zifang, don't ask if you can, just ask."

Liu Zifang nodded heavily: "Since my nephew has such a heart, it's good to ask."

Liu Mu nodded to Baoqin, and Baoqin immediately went out to make arrangements.

In the evening, what shocked the entire Liu family was that Cui Junsu came in person, and brought his third uncle Cui Hong with him.

If Cui Junsu is now the biggest official of the Cui family in the court, then his third uncle represents the clan elder of the Cui family in Qinghe.

With Liu Chongchong as the head of the Liu family, the door of the mansion was opened wide, rituals and music were played, and all the men with status came out to welcome them without exception.

"Set up a banquet!" Liu Chongchong ordered.

Cui Hong stopped Liu Chongchong's hand: "Before drinking, I have a few words to say."

"Please!"

There were only five people in the Liu family who entered the main hall of the Liu family.

After sitting down, Cui Junsu said straightforwardly: "Arrange a person for your four counties of Cixi, named Wang Chongji. Yes, or not."

"Okay, you've already spoken, how can I say no." After Liu Mu agreed, he asked, "Who is this Wang Chongji?"

"Taiyuan Wang, the son of Wang Gui. The Wang Gui you cheated is very miserable. Fortunately, the sage has the wisdom of others, otherwise Wang Gui would not know that poor place to be an official. He doesn't care about these things, but thinks that you did it. That’s right, everyone is their own master.”

"Bring him a drink another day." Liu Mu grinned.

Cui Hong laughed: "That's good. The old man was entrusted by the Wang family, and he planned to come to give you a gift. There was some misunderstanding and let it go. Today is just right, the old man is here to propose marriage for Wang Chongji on behalf of the Wang family, and the Liu family can be the main house. married daughter?"

Liu Mu didn't answer, but turned to look at Liu Chongchong.

Liu Chongchong immediately said: "This is naturally a great joy."

"That's good."

The two old men whispered a few words, obviously Cui Hong had to choose one or two for the Wang family, at least to see the family background and so on.

Cui Junsu spoke again at this time: "Mu, Cui Yiye was transferred back from Wodao to serve as Huating county magistrate for ten years. Dou Shikuan is placed in the four counties of Cixi, you don't agree."

"Okay, Cui Yiye is definitely a talent, as long as he is not afraid of hardship. The Huating was first built, and it was hard work?"

"Of course I'm not afraid. Then I, Cui Shi, agree to your marriage proposal. But Liu Shi will also be sent to Cixi to become a county magistrate among the four counties. Now let's talk about the officiant of the dowry. I, Qinghe Cui Shi, are 35 Wan Guan, you only talk about how to spend it. Or you can spend it with someone, and you can come up with a charter." Cui Junsu said without any politeness.

Liu Chongchong, the patriarch of the meeting, and Liu Zifang, the owner of the Xijuan family, didn't know how to intervene.

"I have three ways to invest, Uncle Cui, you choose one."

"speak!"

"Funan Grain Field, Gaochang Nitrate Mine." After speaking, the two Liumu stopped, and Cui Junsu also laughed when he saw Liumu laughing: "The third one must be very interesting."

Liu Mu nodded: "To the east of Huating, there is a small island in the sea. Although this is not a big place, it is an excellent sugarcane planting area. The Japanese building purple island is overpopulated, and the need for planting mulberry forests and mining is not so much. Many people, even though a large number have come to Huating to work, there are still at least [-] households with nowhere to go."

"Voted. This is the sugarcane garden." Cui Junsu didn't have to think about it at all.

Funan is too far away, it is Feng An's territory in Lingnan, so it's better not to interfere for the time being.On the Gaochang side, Tang Emperor Li Shimin seems to have acquiesced that the Li family in Longxi will be the master, and he will invest with more than a dozen gentry families in the past, and Cui Junsu doesn't want to stick to it.Then overseas sugarcane fields are a good choice.

Good choice.

Cui Junsu stood up and bowed to Liu Chongchong, which was polite, because after all, he was an elder.Then he handed a watch to Liu Mu, and after Liu Mu took over to look through it, Cui Junsu said, "This is the first watch I'll make after this year."

Liu Mu didn't answer, but quietly looked at the contents on the watch.

Cui Junsu nodded slightly to Liu Zifang and said, "I suggest that Datang reconsider the classification system."

The hierarchy in the Tang Dynasty is already the strictest in all dynasties. A distinguished family is a famous family, and a famous family is a famous family. The minor nobles, rich people, common people, farmers, and merchants all have grades.

Cui Junsu continued: "The nobles of the Tang Dynasty are re-divided into third-class and ninth-rank, and the people are also divided into third-class and ninth-rank. For example, Hayato fights hard for my Tang Dynasty. If you are loyal enough, you can consider giving them a lower-class upper class. Very few A person can be given to a middle-class citizen."

"Workers, ghost workers are equivalent to nobles, and depending on their achievements, they can be considered to be given a high enough noble rank. Skilled craftsmen are upper-class people, merchants who only license goods are the highest middle-class people, and good workshop merchants are the highest-level people. Literacy A farmer who knows the etiquette is a high-ranking citizen. A soldier with military merit is regarded as a high-ranking citizen with the highest merit, regardless of the military officer."

Liu Mu had finished reading the key points, and then said: "This needs a lot of details to be perfected."

Cui Junsu nodded in agreement: "Yes, this matter may be the first major issue after the cabinet is formed."

Liu Mu said again: "Then, there is no upper limit for ghost workers, and no upper limit for holy doctors."

"I can support that there is no upper limit for holy doctors. Immortal Sun is a recognized saint, equivalent to a high-ranking nobleman. But why do ghost workers?" Cui Junsu asked back.

"The rules can be set very strictly. I believe the ghost union will prove whether they are worthy of this unlimited limit." Liu Mu retorted forcefully.

Cui Junsu shook his head: "As far as the general cannon is concerned, this thing is just a sharp weapon for killing and is not conducive to people's livelihood. At most, it will be given to the middle and lower nobles. If it is a farmer, Du Zichun, who has mastered the skills of greenhouses, I will guarantee him a middle and upper noble title. .”

"The general cannon is a bit high for the middle class, but I guarantee that there will be top class ghost workers."

"Okay, if the general cannon is inferior to the superior, then I'll wait for your superior to be superior." Cui Junsu said in his heart that the general's artillery is the inferior superior, so according to the rules, every level up is several times more difficult. What kind of ghost work would it be.

Liu Mu said again: "Li Chun, how does he rate it?"

"Medium-medium, I have seen his Jinghe Bridge, the Weishui Bridge that is already under construction. Such a talent is suitable for mediocrity."
