Man Tanghong

After Xie Shufang invited the heads of the two branches of the Xie family to talk for three full days, he sent someone to send the other party out of the mansion.

After the heads of the two branches of the Xie family left Xie Shufang's mansion, they immediately mobilized everyone in the clan and began to contact other branches and clan members.

The things that Xie Shufang was handling began to move in an orderly manner.

In comparison, the things Li Xiaogong was handling were not so smooth.

According to the plan, Li Xiaogong invited all the people involved in water transportation and sea transportation to gather at his house, share the dividends obtained from water transportation and sea transportation in the second half of last year, and discuss the plan for the new year together.

At the party, Lee Hyo-gong launched an 'offensive' against the Boling Choi family as planned.

Originally thought that the Boling Cui family would rely on their deep roots to push them back, but they did not expect that the Boling Cui family would be persuaded.

Not only did he give in to Li Xiaogong in court, but he also compensated Li Xiaogong for many benefits.

Now Li Xiaogong didn't know what to do.

After all, there is no way to reach out and hit a smiling person.

You want to slap someone in the face, but he not only sticks out his face for you to slap, but also keeps making amends to you, how can you attack him?
They are not soft persimmons, there is not enough reason, there are not enough excuses, if you take action against them, you are bullying them.

People have enough reasons and enough excuses to attack you with public opinion.

Datang wanted to eliminate the aristocratic and wealthy families at the lowest cost, so he could only do it quietly, without any way to make a big splash.

Therefore, Li Xiaogong was at a loss for what to do when the Boling Cui family was so cowardly.

……

The front hall of Wude Hall.

Li Yuanji looked at Li Chengde spraying water on the table with his little bird upright, and saw that he was still happily opening his mouth to pick it up, Li Yuanji hurried forward and covered his mouth, Came lightly on his ass.

Not only was Li Chengde not afraid, but he giggled instead.

While Li Yuanji ordered Liu Jun to take someone to clean up, he hugged Li Chengde aside.

Looking at the giggling and giggling son in his arms, Li Yuanji was speechless.

No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand it. He was obviously so smart, and Yang Miaoyan didn't give in. How could he give birth to such a stupid son?
This is not the first time that Li Chengde has sprayed water and picked it up with his mouth.

Yang Miaoyan had already lost her temper with him, and now that her belly was getting bigger and bigger, she didn't want to bother with him, and gave him to Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji had no choice but to take care of this silly son himself.

Seeing that his silly son was about to gnaw his own foot again, Li Yuanji was completely speechless.

"Can you calm down?!"

Li Yuanji patted Li Chengde's little foot away, and questioned angrily.

Li Chengde blinked his big eyes and stared at him blankly.

After watching for a few seconds, he giggled again.

I don't know what is being silly.

"I'm talking to you, can you respond to me?"

A faint voice came.

Li Yuanji raised his head, and saw Li Xiaogong sitting at the bottom of the hall, looking at him speechlessly.

Li Yuanji said casually, "Go on..."

Depressed, Li Xiaogong repeated what he said just now, "Originally, I planned to challenge the Boling Cui family during the party, forcing the Boling Cui family to fight against me, and then slowly deal with them.

But they surrendered immediately without waiting for my attack, and sent me a large number of rare treasures to make amends, and the things were delivered to my house that afternoon.

I can't do anything about them now! "

Li Yuanji restrained his son's fidgeting hands, looked at Li Xiaogong and said, "So you want to give up?"

Li Xiaogong stared and said: "How is it possible?!"

Li Yuanji said casually: "Then you just have to think of a way."

Li Xiaogong hurriedly said: "Isn't it because I couldn't think of a way to find you?"

Li Yuanji said without hesitation: "If the first plan fails, use the second plan. There is always a way to force the Boling Cui family to submit."

Li Xiaogong asked the bottom line: "So what can I do?"

Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Li Xiaogong and said: "For example, send someone to scuttle the ship of the Boling Cui family and sink the grain that the Boling Cui family transported for the court into the sea. At that time, we can use this to ask the Boling Cui family for their crimes and continue on." your plan.

Regardless of whether the Boling Cui family is willing to fight against you or not, as long as they fail to handle the court errands well, you can cancel their participation in water transportation and sea transportation. "

Li Xiaogong was stunned, and thought about it: "They will definitely think of the law to come to me. After other aristocratic families hear the news, they will also take the opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes. Things will return to the direction I planned before?"

Li Yuanji nodded and said nothing more.

The imperial court is the attacker, and the Boling Cui family is the defender.

The attacker always has an advantage over the defender.

The attacker always has more means than the defender.

So if one plan fails, just use other strategies, I am not afraid that the Boling Cui family will not give in.

Li Xiaogong hesitated and said: "But the Boling Cui family can transfer grain from other places to fill the Luoyang granary. As long as they make up the grain, it's not easy for us to attack them."

Li Yuanji rolled his eyes at Li Xiaogong and said: "Lack of time is also a crime! If I happened to approve this batch of grain to Su Dingfang and others as military rations, and the Boling Cui family failed to deliver it to the Luoyang granary on time, you call it a crime." Is it big?"

During the Qin Dynasty, there were laws related to crimes for failure to meet deadlines.

Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and Liu Bang all used this as an excuse to rebel.

However, there is a lot of water in it.

Whether Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, or Liu Bang, they all rebelled on the pretext that the Qin law was strict and that they would be beheaded if they failed.

However, after historians of later generations excavated the tombs of the Qin Dynasty, they can see the legal provisions of the Qin Dynasty unearthed.

There are several grades of crimes against the Qin Dynasty. Almost no one will be beheaded within [-] days. They will either be punished with a shield or armor, and they will be beheaded only after [-] days.

In other words, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and Liu Bang missed their deadlines for more than fifteen days.

Let alone the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty established by Liu Bang himself, as well as the current Tang Dynasty, would all be beheaded.

So whether it is Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, or Liu Bang, it is a joke to use this to prove the strictness of Qin Law.

It's totally framed.

Fifteen days, calculated as 300 miles a day, can walk more than [-] miles, crossing states and counties is no problem.

Not to mention that people walk far more than twenty miles a day.

Therefore, Qin Fa gave Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and Liu Bang plenty of time.

Unless Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and Liu Bang deliberately slowed down the schedule, it would be impossible to meet the standard of beheading.

Therefore, Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, and Liu Bang rebelled against the Qin Dynasty with the excuse that Qin's laws were strict and they would be beheaded if they missed their promises. They were purely discrediting the Qin Dynasty.

The Cui family of Boling helped the imperial court to escort the grain and grass, and the situation was similar in the period.

But if this batch of grain and grass were military rations, the standards of that period would have risen.

According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, when sending military rations, the leader of the team would be beheaded on three days, the whole team would be beheaded on six days, and the family members would be implicated on ten days.

From the news of Boling Cui's excavation of the sunken ship to the response and transport of food to Luoyang, it should barely meet the three-day standard.

But if there is a little stumbling in the middle, it is not a problem to extend it to ten days.

Although it is difficult to convincing people to deal with the entire Cui clan of Boling with this kind of crime, and they will be blocked by people from other aristocratic families.

But no one will object to those who deal with the Boling Cui family's grain transportation, and those who ban the Boling Cui family's water and sea transportation.

After all, it was Boling Cui's fault.

No matter how domineering the wealthy family is, they still have to give an explanation to the imperial court.

The imperial court used this to deprive the Cui family of Boling from their participation in water transportation and sea transportation, and other wealthy families had nothing to say.

After all, Datang is surnamed Li after all, and is ruled by the Li family.

The other aristocratic families, under the circumstances of being justified, have no way to prevent Li Shi from punishing them in any way.

Li Xiaogong's eyes lit up all of a sudden, without saying a word, he ran out of the hall in a hurry.

He is not a fool, and he doesn't need Li Yuanji to teach him how to do it step by step.

He just fell into a misunderstanding. Now that he has gone through the on-demand broadcast, he naturally knows what to do.

Li Yuanji looked at the back of Li Xiaogong leaving in a hurry, and shook his head dumbfounded.

Then he snatched the ink ingot that the son kept stuffing into his mouth from his son, and asked Liu Jun to recruit Wang Ruan to take care of him, and he started to deal with government affairs by himself.

Because Li Yuan demoted three county kings and two dukes in a row during the New Year's Eve banquet, Li Gang did not have time to hand over the memorial to beg for bones.

Therefore, Li Gang did not hand in the memorials until the seventh day of the first lunar month.

Li Yuanji wrote the word "not allowed" on the memorial, and then asked Liu Jun to send visitors to Li Gang's mansion with a lot of rewards.

Although Li Gang's begging for bones this time is doomed to be irretrievable, the process that should be followed and the honor that should be given are also indispensable.

After instructing Li Gang's memorabilia, Li Yuanji instructs the memorials of the six ministries of the three provinces and the chief officials of each monastery.

Most of them are memorials for year-end summary.

At the end of last year, except for a few who were eager to announce the good news, most of the important ministers did not hand over the year-end summary to Li Yuanji.

They hope that Li Yuanji can have a good year, and they also hope that they can have a good year.

So it was not until the end of the year that all the year-end summaries were submitted.

In the memorials handed over by the three provinces, except for the promotion of rice, which is an announcement of good news, the others are almost all reports of worries.

Chen Shuda doesn't seem to know how to please those in power, how to please the king, how to whitewash the peace, and all the memorials in the newspaper are to add embarrassment to others.

Even with the matter of promoting rice mixed with good news, there are still problems to be solved.

That is the need for money.

Money is needed to divert water to build canals, money is needed to surround water and build fields, money is also needed to buy buffaloes, make farm tools, and so on.

Since there are many places to promote rice this time, Chen Shuda asked for 30 guan.

Although 30 yuan is not a lot, Chen Shuda reported more than one item asking for money.
