Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 337

Cui's mansion in Boling.

Cui Runyu convened a meeting of five surnames and seven wang patriarchs.

Among them, there was one more person, Cui Zhentang.

"The emperor obviously reached an agreement with Fang Yuan."

"But Cui Zhentang's promotion is in the interests of our five surnames and seven Wangs."

"I thought, no matter what, we couldn't make the emperor's plan succeed."

Cui Runyu took the lead in making comments.

Officials of the Boling Cui family spread all over the world.

But there have been very few people who have become the chief of the six departments.

It is rare for Cui Zhentang to have an opportunity now, Boling Cui can't let the opportunity pass by like this.

"Fang Yuan is just a clown, the difficulty lies with the emperor."

"He should be dissatisfied with the issuance of our seven-star banknotes, and now he is starting to fight back."

"However, for such an important appointment, although the emperor plays a decisive role, he still has to take into account the opinions of the ministers. As long as we have the support of the ministers, there is no need to worry about this matter."

Wang Xiaolin of the Taiyuan Wang family said slowly.

The emperor has a decisive role in the appointment of officials above the fourth rank.

But the selected talents serve the court and the country.

Since he is working for the country, he must convince the ministers in terms of virtue and ability, and he must listen to the opinions of the ministers.

"Having said that, people like Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji are standing closely beside Li Shimin, so it's hard for us to convince them."

Zheng Zhongxian, head of the Zheng clan in Xingyang, said in a deep voice.

Now the control of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs in the court is getting lower and lower, because some ministers stand firmly by Li Shimin's side.

If Pei Ji hadn't retired, he would have stood by the aristocratic family and was willing to cooperate with them.

"Don't worry, Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji are on the emperor's side."

"But if Fang Yuan is the candidate for Hubu Shangshu, they will definitely object."

Li Deyou, head of the Li clan in Longxi, smiled confidently.

Everyone was taken aback, and then looked at Li Deyou.

With Li Shimin coming to power, the relationship between the five surnames and seven Wangs of the Li family in Longxi began to become complicated.

They are still related to each other with many marriages, but in the emperor's policies, many benefits are obviously favored by the Longxi Li family.

Everyone also thought that this was the emperor's plan to divorce, but they still felt a little uncomfortable with the Li family in Longxi, feeling that the Li family in Longxi would become the top of the five surnames and seven surnames.

"They all went through various hardships to sit where they are now."

"It's an insult to them to put a young man under 30 on their equal footing."

Li Deyou laughed.

Everyone listened and nodded in agreement.

"Didn't the emperor have some agreement with Fang Yuan now?"

"I guess it's related to road construction and community building, we just stop them."

Lu Deshui, the patriarch of the Fanyang Lu family, said with a dark smile.

Looking at the cooperation between Fang Yuan and Dugu Bo, we can learn some news.

That is, the situation is very urgent, and road construction needs to be started immediately.

In this case, if they stop the road construction, Fang Yuan and Li Shimin's plan will be broken without attack.

At the same time, it can also warn other aristocratic families, don't think about going against the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, the end will be terrible.

"Fang Yuan has a firecracker, we haven't found a weapon that can match the firecracker yet."

Cui Runyu shook his head and said in a deep voice.

The appearance of the fire gun was the beginning of their Five Surnames and Seven Wangs fearing Fang Yuan.

In the past, they didn't take Fang Yuan seriously, although sometimes they were more polite.

But after the firecracker actually appeared and showed its power, everyone knew that Fang Yuan had become a giant crocodile.

"It's a long way from Luoyang City to Chang'an City. It's not a day or two for them to build the road."

"It's such a long road, it's impossible for Fang Yuan to send so many people to watch such a long road, we can completely destroy other places."

"During the destruction, it is possible to attract Fang Yuan's firecrackers to attack, but if there are not many people, we can try to grab Fang Yuan's firecrackers and come back to study!"

Lu Deshui smiled sinisterly.

Their five surnames and Qiwang are often subject to fire guns.

I have always wanted to find the manufacturing method and cracking method of the firecracker.

But all to no avail!

Since Fang Yuan gave such an opportunity, don't miss it.

After the words fell, Cui Runyu and the others all had bright eyes, thinking that it was feasible.

As long as the firecrackers leave Chang'an City, even if they use crowd tactics, they can still grab their hands!
"I will mobilize the clan soldiers to cooperate with this matter!"

Cui Runyu said in a deep voice.

Since the appearance of the firecracker, he has made demands on the clan soldiers.

Facing the shooting of the firecrackers, as long as there is no order to stop from the patriarch, even if you are dead, you will rush forward.

"Let's dispatch the clan soldiers together, rest assured."

Li Deyou interrupted.

Everyone looked at him without any objection.

This is also very good, everyone knows whether the firecracker has been obtained.

On the same day, the five surnames and Qiwang dispatched one hundred soldiers each, forming 700 people and sneaking out of the city.

The team leader this time is Cui Xuansu from the Boling Cui family.

When Cui Xuansu and others rushed to Luoyang City, Dugu Bo had already started road construction.

However, it is only to expand the roads on both sides of the official road, and has not really started to use cement to build roads.

But this didn't affect the plan of Cui Xuansu and others. As soon as they arrived in Luoyang City, they led people to beat up the workers who expanded the road.

And warned that road construction is not allowed.

Dugu Bo jumped up angrily when he heard the news.

"Do you know who it is?"

The first thing Dugu Bo thought of was his second brother.

"I seem to have seen the leader. It is Cui Xuansu from the Boling Cui family."

The person who reported it was not sure.

"Cui Xuansu?"

Dugu Bo was shocked.

Cui Xuansu is a great master of the Boling Cui family.

The Boling Cui family actually sent such a person to prevent road construction, and brought more than 700 people with them? !
"Patriarch, what should we do?"

The second uncle's face was ugly, and he said in a deep voice.

If the road construction is blocked, the reputation of their Dugu family will also be affected.

Now the famous families all over the world are laughing at Dugu Bo for killing his father and ascending to power, and they are going to see the Dugu family embarrassing.

Building roads, building communities, and joining forces with Fang Yuan made the Dugu family get rid of being ridiculed and become a stronger opportunity.

"Don't panic!"

"We can just tell Fang Shilang about the matter."

Dugu Bo calmed down slowly, hehe laughed.

Fang Yuan has already promised many aristocratic families that they will help with force.

Now someone came to stop the road construction, Fang Yuan should solve this problem.

If Fang Yuan can't solve it, then other aristocratic families who want to cooperate with Fang Yuan will not dare to cooperate.

Without the guarantee of force, no one would dare to confront the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs.

"You...want to use Fang Shilang?"

The second uncle's face changed, and he said uncertainly.

"Use each other."

"If I cooperate with him so much, he has to say no?"

Dugu Bo laughed.

He wanted to get close to Fang Yuan, but he also wanted to use Fang Yuan's force.

And Fang Yuan is the same, use him to open up the situation, so as to cooperate with the world's aristocratic families.

"I'm going to ask someone to notify Fang Shilang."

The second uncle was taken aback for a moment, then nodded heavily.

This is the patriarch I like. He is smart, black-bellied and resourceful.

In the hands of Dugu Bo, the Dugu family is definitely much better than Dugu Xiongba.

As the news came out, the family of the world wanted to get closer to Fang Yuan, they immediately stopped their actions and watched Fang Yuan's results.

If Fang Yuan is just talking, then the previous efforts will be in vain, and there will be no cooperation between any family and Fang Yuan.

Chang'an City Square Mansion.

"Suspected Cui Xuansu brought 700 people to prevent road construction?"

Fang Yuan frowned slightly after hearing this report.

It is estimated that the five surnames Qiwang made the trouble, but I didn't expect to send so many people.

700 people, and they may also be clan soldiers, how many firecrackers must be sent to suppress them?
"Husband, is there any trouble?"

Du Miaoyan noticed that Fang Yuan's brows were furrowed, and asked curiously.

Fang Yuan didn't hide anything, he told Dugu Bo's message to Du Miaoyan.

"Five surnames and Qiwang should have guessed it."

"They sent so many people there, there is a possibility of grabbing the guns."

Du Miaoyan pondered for a moment, then said solemnly.

She knew very well that Fang Yuan attached great importance to the firecracker, so she forbids to reveal anything related to the firecracker.

Even if the emperor wants it, Fang Yuan is firm, he only wants the security team to take it and use it, he is not willing to lend or give it away.

"Grab a gun?"

Fang Yuan frowned even tighter.

Hearing Du Miaoyan's analysis, Fang Yuan felt that the possibility was very high.

"Yes."

"The firecracker is no longer as mysterious as it first appeared."

"The surroundings of the official road are barren and wide, and it is easy to avoid the firecracker's attack. If they use the crowd tactics to snatch the firecracker, it is not impossible."

Du Miaoyan said in a deep voice.

When the firecracker first appeared, it was scary.

Used again later, the deterrent effect is not as great as before.

In the future, the five surnames and Qiwang will definitely cultivate death squads that are not afraid of firecrackers.

"really!"

"I have to go to the palace!"

Fang Yuan thought for a while, and said in a deep voice.

Du Miaoyan didn't ask again, she guessed it.

Soon, Fang Yuan went into the palace to find Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, five surnames and seven Wangs prevent road construction. I need your imperial decree."

Fang Yuan said bluntly.

"What imperial decree do you want?"

Li Shimin frowned suddenly.

The imperial decree cannot be issued casually, especially for the five surnames and seven surnames.

"The major aristocratic families invest in the imperial treasury to build roads. In name, they build roads for the imperial court and for the people of the world."

"Building roads for the people's livelihood, then those who stop the road construction are extraordinary people. I ask the emperor to order the people all over the world. The road construction is for the prosperity of the country and the people. Destruction of the road construction is a capital crime, and the people of the world will punish them."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Although the world family is Fang Yuan's cooperation.

But the money they invest goes into the treasury.

Then they are doing things for the court, and Li Shimin can't ignore it.

"You are forcing me to break up with the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs again."

Li Shimin pursed his mouth and said with a dark face.

"Your Majesty, there are already two first-class families and eighteen small and medium families willing to cooperate with me."

"If each family has 200 yuan, it will also fill the treasury with [-] million yuan. Don't you feel tempted?"

Fang Yuan also pursed his mouth.

I scolded Li Shimin in my heart.

Just want benefits, don't want to pay, want to eat farts?
"200 million?!"

Li Shimin was shocked, a little unbelievable.

In a month's time, it's only been ten days, and there's almost 200 million income?

You know, the country's annual tax collection is only 2000 million.

"This is still the investment brought about by road construction."

"The real big head is in the construction community."

"So Yi, is Your Majesty going to issue an imperial edict?"

Fang Yuan looked at Li Shimin helplessly and said.

"Down!"

"I will send Li Junxian and an army of one thousand people to you to take charge!"

Li Shimin said excitedly.

In just ten days, an investment of 200 million will be obtained soon.

If you give another 20 days, how much will it be?
For a while, Li Shimin seemed to see the moment when the national treasury was full.

Since he came to the throne, the treasury has never been full, it has always been empty.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Fang Yuan was overjoyed.

The unexpected joy made him more confident.

Not long after, an imperial decree came from the palace.

Road construction is a policy for the country to be rich and the people strong. People in the world may not support road construction, but they must not destroy road construction. Those who destroy road construction will be punished with death!
As soon as the news came out, the ruling and opposition parties were in an uproar.

After the explanation of the imperial decree, people became more aware of the role of road construction.

But what shocked people was that the five surnames and seven secretly sent people to stop the road construction, and the emperor issued an imperial decree on the back foot, is it about to break up?

the other side.

Fang Yuan took Li Junxian out.

A thousand guns accompanied by a thousand guards set off for Luoyang.

"General Li, Cui Xuansu and the others must have come prepared, and they will definitely hide in the mountains."

"So we also sneak into the mountains and send out bait to lure them all to appear. What do you think?"

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Fully respect Li Junxian.

"Fang Shilang's words are very kind!"

Li Junxian has no objection.

Hurry up with Fang Yuan.

Do it before the imperial decree reaches Cui Xuansu and others.

Not long after, a team of hundreds of people who had been disguised all along appeared on the official road in Luoyang.

Armed with firecrackers, they went to the place where Dugu Boxin said they were prevented from building roads.

suddenly.

Hundreds of people rushed down from both sides of the mountains.

They surrounded the firecrackers in the middle.

The few people standing at the front held special shields in their hands.

"shot!"

In the firecracker team, someone shouted in alarm.

He hurriedly fired at the shield.

Bang bang bang.
The firecrackers sounded.

But there were no casualties.

Cui Xuansu, who was watching from a distance, was instantly overjoyed.

There is a special shield to resist, and the firecracker will be easily obtained.

So Cui Xuansu rode out and prepared to collect the spoils.

But suddenly.

Someone rushed out of the mountains on both sides again.

The number of people is a little more than their 700 people.

Cui Xuansu was shocked, and looked at the person who appeared suddenly with a calm expression.

After the soldiers appeared on the flat ground, they shot at the clan soldiers with five surnames and seven Wangs.

The clan soldiers with five surnames and seven Wangs only had shields in the front, but not in the back.

With the sound of gunfire, the clan soldiers of five surnames and Qiwang screamed again and again, and rushed towards the soldiers desperately.

But the number of firecrackers has a great advantage, no matter how desperate the manpower is, there is only one result, and that is death.

"how come?!"

"Stop, stop, we are clan soldiers with five surnames and seven wangs!"

Cui Xuansu was shocked, and there was a thought in his mind, that was a trick.

There is no way, I can only show my identity, hoping that the other party will have scruples.

After all, he was wearing the clothes of the imperial court, Li Shimin should not break with the five surnames and Qiwang.

However, Cui Xuansu's voice was buried in the gunfire, and at the same time, the clan members with five surnames and seven Wangs fell down one by one.

At the same time, the fire gun team surrounded in the middle also started to fight back, assaulting back and forth, killing five surnames and seven Wang by surprise.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all seven hundred clan soldiers with five surnames and seven Wangs fell into a pool of blood, leaving only Cui Xuansu sitting on the horse.
