Chapter 339 Chapter 350: Li Ji's Reminder

The Cui family has too many properties, so many that even Yizhou, which is hundreds of miles away, has their fields. According to the reported accounts, the Cui family has a total of 33 shi of grain stored in the granary, and gold, silver and jewelry in the treasury. The total value of added coins is 120 million, which is almost close to the annual income of the whole country of the Tang Dynasty. There are many famous calligraphy and paintings, ancient ceramic vessels, gold and jade sculptures in their homes. The value of these things is temporarily inestimable. In addition, separate accounts , as well as Cui's real estate, land, and countless shops, Li Hao was speechless after reading the accounts.

Because the Cui family has too many land properties, the accounts of the land property have not been settled for a long time. It's okay, Li Hao first sealed up all the property of the Cui family, and took it back to Dingzhou with more than 800 members of the Cui family.

When they arrived in Dingzhou, Li Hao asked Li Zhi to write a warrant to confiscate the 33 shi of grain and money from the Cui family for disaster relief. In addition to the more than 20 shi of grain seized in the rebel camp, there were enough 50 shi of grain. There is also the disaster relief food distributed by the imperial court. This amount of food is enough to feed the victims for a year.

Immediately afterwards, Li Hao began to thoroughly investigate Qin Miao, and found that Qin Miao had a private house outside Dingzhou City, which contained many secrets, more than 7000 coins, more than 3000 grains, and many gold and silver jewels. There are also some secret letters between Qin Miao and the Cui family. Hence, Qin Miao is now charged not only with corruption, perverting the law and dereliction of duty, but also with an additional charge of treason. Now, as long as he has a relationship with the Cui family, it is treason .

Li Hao once again used his power to do things cheaply, and held Qin Miao in a prison van for three days, and paraded through the streets in the vegetable market three days later.

Five days later, the settlement results of Cui's land property came out. There were a total of 50 hectares of fertile land. In the Tang Dynasty, one hectare was equal to 75 mu, and 2000 hectares equaled 25 mu. The price of one mu of good land in the Tang Dynasty was [-]. About [-], if calculated on the basis of [-].

After hearing this, Li Hao was stunned. Is he the richest man in Tang Dynasty?Don't be kidding, I only have a little more cash, and his real estate is worth more than 2000 million. In the future, let's not say that I am the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, and I am not afraid of being laughed at by others.

Just when Li Hao was checking the final accounts, Li Zhi suddenly ran into the inner office of the governor's mansion in a hurry, and said, "Sir, the British prince is here."

"Oh!" Li Hao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly put down the account book, got up and said, "Where is Mr. Ying?"

Li Zhi said: "It's just outside the south gate."

"Go! Go meet him!" After Li Hao said that, he excitedly led people to the south gate.

The southern city was originally open, but due to the arrival of Li Ji's army, the city gate was temporarily closed. According to the rules, no matter what kind of army came to the city, the city gate must be closed. open the door.

Li Hao went up to the city and saw that it was indeed Li Ji, and he happily bowed his hands and said, "Shi Kuang pays homage to Duke Ying!"

Seeing this, Li Ji scolded with a smile: "Is there anyone like you to salute like this? Stand so high, come down and do it all over again."

"Okay! Haha!" Li Hao laughed, and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened, then left Li Zhi in the city, and went out to meet Li Ji by himself.

Li Zhi also wanted to come out to welcome Li Ji, but Li Zhi is the prince, and although Li Ji is a nobleman, his status is lower than that of the prince. There is no reason for the prince to go out of the city to welcome the prince, so Li Zhi can only wait in the city for Li Ji to enter the city Come to see him, which makes Li Zhi feel very helpless.

Li Hao went out of the city to salute Li Ji again, Li Ji went up to hold his hand, then patted Li Hao's shoulder vigorously, and said cheerfully: "Shi Kuang, it's fine if you're fine, it's fine if you're fine!"

Li Hao said apologetically, "I made Uncle Li worry."

"Yes." Li Ji smiled and nodded, "I can't sleep peacefully every day during this journey. I'm afraid that something will happen to you, kid. I shouldn't be doing the job this time. After all, it's not a big war. It's not my fault, but when the three of us old guys heard that something happened to you, we were all worried about you, so when we came together, we must grab this errand. The three of us struggled with the emperor for a long time before we asked for this errand. Here we go."

Li Hao apologized again: "I made the three uncles worry. Is Uncle Qin okay?"

"Shubao is in good health." Li Ji said with a smile, "Since you cured him of his stubborn illness, he has paid special attention to his diet. Now I ask him to drink, but he refuses twice three times. Older people are more afraid of death."

Li Hao grinned when he heard the words, and said with a playful smile: "What about Uncle Shacai? Is he okay?"

"That old rascal." Li Ji stroked his beard and laughed, "You know best what kind of virtue he is, and he is still the same."

Li Hao laughed with him, and after exchanging pleasantries, Li Hao led Li Ji into the city.

Passing through the city gate corridor, Li Ji saw Li Zhi and a group of Zuo Xiaowei guards standing in the middle of the street, and quickly stepped forward to salute: "My minister, Li Ji, pays homage to His Royal Highness King Jin."

"The British Duke does not need to be formal." Li Zhi waved his hands solemnly, "The British Duke has come all the way, and the boats and cars are exhausting. The king has ordered people to prepare a house for the British Duke at the post house, and Li Shishi is also preparing for it at the governor's mansion." After the banquet, I will clean up the dust for the British public."

Li Ji frowned when he heard this, turned to look at Li Hao, and then said hesitantly: "The catastrophe is not over, and the victims are still starving, so we have to have a feast, isn't that bad?"

Li Hao laughed and said, "Don't worry, the British public. The food supply has already been settled, and the victims have been properly settled. They are well fed and warmly dressed."

"Oh?" Li Ji raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "How did you do it?"

Li Hao pretended to be a secret, and said: "At the dinner party, I will have a good talk with British Duke about these days' affairs."

The sun was sinking to the west, and a small banquet was set up in the living room of the governor's mansion. To be honest, the banquet was not very high-end, but the dishes were good. Many dishes were cooked by Li Hao himself, and Li Hao was the one who had the banquet. Hao, Li Ji and Li Zhi are three people.

At the banquet, Li Hao told Li Ji all about their disaster relief and suppression of the rebellion. After hearing this, Li Ji was shocked. In just a few days, Li Hao not only wiped out all the rebels, but also captured Li Jiancheng alive. The son of the Boling Cui family, and unexpectedly dealt with the Boling Cui family, this action was too fast.

After being surprised, Li Ji's face was full of worry. Li Hao knew that he was concerned about Li Zhi's presence, so he didn't dare to say more, so he said, "Uncle Li has something to say, please, King Jin is not an outsider."

"Then I'll tell you." Li Ji said slowly when he heard the words, "Now that you have brought down the Boling Cui family, the other gentry must hold a grudge. From now on, you must be more careful."

"Don't worry, Uncle Li." Li Hao nodded and said, "I've expected this a long time ago. I'm sitting upright, and I have no reason to let them catch me. They can't do anything to me."

"It's true to say that." Li Ji sighed helplessly, "There is a saying that it is easy to hide a hidden arrow and it is difficult to defend against it. These gentry should not take it lightly. You need to know that countless important officials in the court are also members of the gentry. The one you are most familiar with, the eldest grandson, is one of them."

Li Hao couldn't help frowning when he heard the words. To be honest, Li Hao was very disappointed with Changsun Wuji's performance in recent years, because his selfishness became more and more serious. For a small powerful family, if Changsun Wuji wants to do something to him, he is really in danger. After all, although Li Shimin favors him, he trusts Changsun Wuji more. It can be said that among Li Shimin's most trusted ministers, there are many civil servants. The eldest grandson Wuji is the most important, and Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong are the most important military positions, and Li Shimin's trust in the eldest grandson Wuji is especially above Cheng Yaojin.

At this time, Li Zhi suddenly said: "Mr. Yingying, uncle is a sensible person, Li Hao is a good person, he will not do anything to Li Hao."

Even Li Zhi spoke for Changsun Wuji, Li Hao gradually frowned, he had already sensed that he and Changsun Wuji had a conflict of interest, and would eventually go to the opposite side with him, if it was someone else, Li Hao didn't care, but the other party It is Changsun Wuji, the real No.1 under Li Shimin. The most important thing is that Changsun Wuji has won the trust of Li Shimin. It is impossible for Zhi Zhi to help him, he can only rely on himself.

At this time, Li Jiyu said earnestly: "Shikuang, take it easy, Mr. Changsun is not someone to wait for nothing."

"En." Li Hao nodded thoughtfully, "Don't worry, Uncle Li, I know what's going on."

"That's good." Li Ji said calmly, "Although you are not very old, you have always been very measured in doing things. I am still very clear about this."

Li Zhi on the side couldn't understand at all, and asked blankly: "What are you talking about, what does it have to do with proper manners?"

Li Hao laughed, and changed the topic: "It's nothing, I was thinking, let the British Duke stay here for a few days, and see if there is any order from His Majesty, if not, we will go back together."

As soon as he mentioned going back, Li Zhi became unhappy, and muttered depressedly: "Oh, I have to go back to the cage again."

Li Hao asked with a smile: "What do you mean by going back to the cage?"

Li Zhi rolled his eyes and said: "Isn't the Taiji Palace just a big cage, you can't come out even if you stay inside, and occasionally you go out to Mr.'s house, and you have to calculate the time to return to the palace, it's so comfortable to stay outside."

Li Ji heard this and said: "If Your Highness doesn't like to live in the palace, you can tell the emperor when you go back to live in the palace. Your Highness is already 14 years old this year, and he should have his own palace."

Li Hao was startled when he heard this, and frowned and looked at Li Ji. When Li Ji saw Li Hao's eyes, his heart skipped a beat. He realized that he might have said something wrong. Li Ji is such a smart person. Li Hao intends to help the king of Jin to the throne. This idea is really bold. The king of Jin is only 14 years old, and the emperor has not trained him as his successor. There are no wings to speak of, and there are no ministers to support him in the court. No matter how the throne turns, it will never be King Jin's turn.

In fact, everyone has the same idea as Li Ji, including Li Shimin, so Li Hao and Li Zhi are so close, no one has any doubts. In the eyes of outsiders, Li Zhi is ignorant and has no foundation. Except for the status of the prince, it can be said that there is basically nothing. As for Li Hao, yes, Li Hao is very capable, very smart, very capable of handling affairs, and is also good at fighting, but Li Hao has a shallow foundation and has nothing to do in the court. He has no foundation, let alone power, and offended many people. Li Hao now has nothing but his own ability and the emperor's favor. Saint pet is the most unreliable thing. After all, being with a king is like a tiger Maybe one day Li Hao did something wrong, and once the emperor was upset, Li Hao's favor would be gone.

With two people like this coming together, how could anyone suspect that they would compete for reserves? Even Li Shimin didn't think about it.

Li Zhi's eyes lit up after hearing Li Ji's words, and he said excitedly: "Yes, the Duke of England reminded me that I am 14 years old and can move out of the Taiji Palace. When I go back, I will ask my father for a piece of paper." Wang Fu!" After saying that, he was so excited that he danced his chopsticks, not to mention how happy he looked.

Li Hao sighed secretly when he heard the words, Li Zhi can get in touch with Li Shimin more while living in the palace, even if he can't make Li Shimin feel good about him, at least he can get acquainted with him, this time out of the Taiji Palace, according to Li Zhi's incompetent temperament, Li Shimin probably forgot about it within a few days. After Li Chengqian was abolished, when the candidate for the crown prince was selected, Li Zhi probably didn't even have the qualifications to nominate him. He slapped his face, then pointed at his nose and shouted: "Prince Jin! You should be more careful!"
