Datang first village

Late at night!

The seven concubines of Prince Qin's Mansion were supported by their maids and went back to rest.

Li Yuanxing was still sitting on his chair with his forehead propped up, looking at the empty main hall, feeling a little numb in his heart.It's numb hemp!

The match factory still belonged to the Li family in Zhao County.

When the girls went out, at least on the surface they were still friendly, talking and laughing.

But what about the fact?

Qiuxiang came in twice in a row, but seeing Li Yuanxing sitting there motionless, she didn't dare to disturb her.Qiuxiang is not stupid, she knows that there will inevitably be a dispute between the seven princesses, what is the dispute is not something she is qualified to think about as a maidservant, whether they are fighting for themselves or for their sons, they are also not a maidservant Dare to think.

The only thing that Qiuxiang needs to think about is how to make His Highness King Qin happy.

When Qiuxiang entered the house for the third time, Li Yuanxing said softly: "Qiuxiang, go and carefully select two maids. They must be smart and literate. The most important thing is to have a good background. The former Sui official's family is the best. Go to the palace to pick it, just say that the king wants it, and the emperor's wife will help you.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Qiu Xiang replied softly.

"I'll tell Lu Maofeng tomorrow and let him pay attention. The king needs four guards and two excellent attendants. Pick out the people first, and we'll talk about it after the new year."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Qiuxiang still replied mechanically. What's the use of His Highness Prince Qin picking someone, she won't ask too many questions, it's her duty to follow orders.

Li Yuanxing waved his hand lightly: "Go down and rest, the king will spend the night in the study tonight. Send someone to watch in the palace, and the majesty will wake up the king when he leaves the palace!"

In the early morning of the next day, the official newspaper "Da Tang Bao" and the three major newspapers of the People's Daily, this front page made the editor-in-chief very embarrassed.Is it the small banker's ticket that is important, or the stock exchange, or the futures exchange.Which one is on the front page?

In any case, this is big news for Chang'an City.

I bought a thousand shares in a steel factory that was making money steadily, and even ordinary people were moved.Let alone a businessman.

Next to Li Yuanxing's desk was the newspaper of the day, but Li Yuanxing didn't even move it.

Instead, he sat at the table and wrote a form.

The content is: Although the Xie family, Yuan family, and Xiao family in the south of the Yangtze River were honored in the previous dynasty, they were loyal to the Tang Dynasty.The establishment of Hangzhou as a port is indispensable and should be commended.But as an aristocratic family, it should benefit the village. Having land to grow during farming can make it a stable home, and having work to do in leisure time can make it a prosperous home.Zhejiang-Hangzhou tea has been praised by the emperor of Tang Dynasty for two consecutive years, so it must be kept.Zhejiang-Hangzhou silk has been ranked among the top three in successive years, and we must work hard to achieve it.Grain fields, medicine fields, mulberry fields, and fruit fields are all fields, and there are also fields in mountains, seasides, lakes, and seas.

The wealth of the aristocratic family lies in the village; the wealth of the common people lies in the Tang Dynasty.

If the family has surplus food, it is only enough to feed the hunger, and everyone has clothes, but it is not cold.

Huating is a county, although it is a county.Ten years later, it will be comparable to Chang'an!

After finishing writing, Li Yuanxing put his seal on it and called Yuanchun: "Give it to Cui Changshi, tell him to submit it to the Holy Majesty, and then send a copy to the Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Officials, and Ministry of Households. Give another copy to the Ministry of Commerce, and finally submit it to Tianying Pavilion .”

Put it in the official document box, and Yuan Chun took it out.

Cui Dunli looked it over, smiled, and quickly asked the scribe to copy it, and sent it to the palace with Li Yuanxing's own handwriting.The rest are sent to the ministries.

"Chang Shi, is this a reward, or a question?"

A clerk asked Cui Dunli after he had finished copying and arranged to send it out.

Cui Dunli shook his head: "You are still young, just learn slowly. You don't understand even if I explain it to you. This article has a deep meaning, but I dare not say that I can see the whole picture. I can only tell you one thing, one Hours, at most two hours, His Royal Highness King Qin's letter must be given to every family that can be counted."

The scribe stuck out his tongue, and quickly sat back in his seat.

Reward, or blame?

Cui Dunli was also asking himself this question, Li Yuanxing's approach to the Jiangnan family was unimaginable.

Sitting in the palace, Li Er listened to the news about stocks and futures in Chang'an City all morning. It was almost noon before he ordered: "Send someone to Wulang, and tell me that I and his sister-in-law are in Wulang at noon today. When dining there, let him be more generous this time, at least there are eight dishes and one soup!"

Eunuch Gao hurried to go.

Li Er took out the document that Li Yuanxing had written to the Jiangnan III family, thought about it, folded it up and put it in his sleeve.

Before Li Er left, the letters from the seven princesses of Qin had already been sent to their respective homes.

Shandong Seventh Family.Cui, Wang, Li, Lu, Zheng, five surnames and seven families!

Not only the seventh families, but also the most famous families in the Tang Dynasty, those families ranked third and above, except for those who are too old to move, almost all the elders of the families are in Chang'an City.Even if there is no house in the city, find a place to build a house in the south of the city.

The surrounding area of ​​Kunming Lake is the first choice for various aristocratic families to build houses.

It was so far away, but the news was not slow at all, and it was delivered quickly after leaving Chang'an City.

Chang'an City, the Imperial Palace, and Prince Qin's Mansion are a little turbulent. As long as there is no gag order, the disappearance can be reported in half an hour, at most an hour.

Cui's house in Qinghe, next to Kunming Pond, in a house called Qingxin Yayuan.Qinghe Cui's main house, side house, branch house and attached house.There are more than 70 elders, big and small, living here.This does not include children who are not young in the family and have achieved academic success but have not yet become officials.

Crack, crack, crack!Cui Junsu's father, Cui Yingying's grandfather, the old patriarch of the Qinghe Cui family, and the previous generation of patriarchs.He tapped hard on the tea table beside him three times with his cane: "Shut up."

Everyone in the hall fell silent. Just now they were discussing His Highness King Qin's documents to the Jiangnan Three Family.

"Read!" The old patriarch Cui ordered in a low voice to a talented Cui family beside him.

"The letter from Princess Ying of Prince Qin's mansion, His Royal Highness King Qin returned to the mansion, and Ying was pregnant, His Royal Highness conferred a reward. Bestow...

In the very long letter, Cui Yingying explained the situation of that night in detail, and even Li Yuanxing's expression, reaction, and seemingly joking at the end were implying that the princesses should not fight for these things for the family.

"Is the reward heavy?" The old patriarch of the Cui clan asked in a deep voice.

Whether it is important or not, the queens of all dynasties may not have had such a heavy reward if they had children, and even less than one in ten, who dares to say that it is not heavy.

A Cuijiasu elder who was wearing a Confucian shirt, with all white beard and hair, was sitting on the sixth chair in the first row on the right, and said: "At the end of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty died at its peak. His Royal Highness King Qin once said that At that time, the imperial power was second to none, mainly because the wealth of the world was not in the folk, nor in the royal family, but in the aristocratic family! Even if my old bones are torn apart, I don’t believe that His Royal Highness King Qin will go away from what I once commented as wrong Wrong way!"

The words are too straightforward.

The Han Dynasty itself perished because the aristocratic family was too large, so huge that its wealth, power, and status surpassed that of the royal family.

"I don't know, I don't know!"

The old Cui family stood up and shouted several times, then sat back heavily on the chair, gasping for breath.

Immediately, there are young disciples delivering water and soothing their chests!

The old patriarch of the Cui family lowered his head, holding a water cup in his hand, and kept sliding the cup on the cup and bowl.

There is one thing he dare not say, that is, King Qin is alive and can control the world.Even if you are the reincarnation of the first emperor, you dare not have any wrong thoughts in front of the current king of Qin.

But King Qin, can you live forever?What will happen to King Qin after his death?

Your Highness King Qin has supported the aristocratic family to such an extent that the aristocratic family feels scared. I am afraid that if the emperor is changed, they will not be able to sleep because of anxiety.

You two brothers, can you really live forever?In the future, in the Great Tang Dynasty, it is impossible for a new Qin King to appear, and no emperor dares to compare with the emperor who conquered the Great Tang Dynasty. At that time, wouldn't the royal family be afraid of the huge family?

"Reject?" Another elder made a suggestion.

Old Patriarch Cui shook his head gently: "If you refuse once, can you refuse twice? When you refuse three times, when you look at other aristocratic families, it will be like the feeling of Fangshi in Luoyang when seeing Zhengshi. Ask Patriarch, are you willing to be a third-rate family, or even a fourth- or fifth-rate family?"

"So...stupid!" The old man who spoke blushed, and it took him a long time to spit out these words.

"No, you are right to propose an idea, but what you are facing is His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty." After the old patriarch of the Cui family comforted him, he continued: "Before the war in Liaodong, the Six Departments counted for three months. How much expenditure and how much income. After the war, the six departments worked together day and night, and it took a month to calculate."

It can be said that everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to hear the result.

"Actually, the result was known at the New Year's Day of the second year of Zhenguan. It took four months to just confirm the accuracy of the data. The answer is an error of [-]% and [-]/[-]."

Everyone didn't understand why they knew it before, and why it took so much manpower to verify it.

"His Royal Highness King Qin has a set of mathematical models called budgeting, which is actually a mathematical and very advanced technology composed of many rules, fixed rates, formulas, correction parameters, and many other factors. Now there are at least [-] masters of mathematics in the Hongwen Museum. After researching, the Ministry of Households is now making a small model with the basic knowledge of this set of models for the estimated expenditure and income of the surrounding area of ​​Chang'an every season."

The old patriarch of the Cui clan stood up.

"What I want to say is that the six elites combined cannot compare to the brainpower of His Royal Highness King Qin. Therefore, some have to fight, and some cannot. His Royal Highness King Qin's rewards are unfairly distributed among the families, so naturally they have to fight. His Highness King Qin arranged For things, you have to do your best, you can't fight, and you don't have to fight!"

Many clan elders nodded in agreement.The old patriarch of the Cui family continued: "Competing mind, brain power, and vision. No matter what it is, it is not shameful to lose to His Royal Highness King Qin of the Tang Dynasty. His Royal Highness King Qin is a genius, not to mention Princess Mingyue to help. How can we be ordinary people? It may be comparable." (To be continued.)
