If you have time, you can read it. "The Tyrant of the Three Kingdoms Lu Bu" is definitely a book worth reading.

……

After Li Tai and Cheng Yaojin left Cui Yushi's mansion, the housekeeper asked Cui Yushi, "Master, why did King Wei do this. No matter how you say it, he doesn't seem to be taking advantage of it."

"This is true wisdom. He rented all the land of my Cui family. It is equivalent to tying the Cui family to his warship. 15 taels of silver in exchange for the support of the Cui family. Is this Isn't the deal good enough?" Cui Yushi said to the housekeeper.

"I can't figure it out a little bit. He just rented our Cui family's land. How did he get the support of the Cui family?" the housekeeper asked Cui Yushi puzzled.

"As I said at the time, there is no airtight wall in the world. Even if no one knows about the agreement between us and the king of Wei. But they can find that [-]% of the grain harvested by my Cui family In the hands of King Wei."

"At that time, even if our Cui family doesn't recognize it, we have already attached to Wei Wang Li Tai. How many people in the world will believe it." Wang Yushi said with a sigh.

"In this case, why did the master agree to King Wei?" the butler asked even more puzzled.

"Do you know how the Taiyuan royal family was destroyed? Because he chose Prince Li Chengqian, that's why he ended up today." Cui Yushi said with a sigh.

"Then we chose King Wei, will His Royal Highness let us go?" the housekeeper asked Cui Yushi worriedly.

"As an aristocratic family that can be passed on for thousands of years, which family does not have its own heritage. We have experienced more than one or two wars, but in the end we all survived."

"However, the royal family of Taiyuan was eradicated by the king of Wei in today's peaceful and prosperous age. I believe that from ancient times to the present, there are not many people who can do this. And Wei Wang Li Tai is one of them." Cui Yushi said with a sigh.

"I understand the meaning of the master. If our Cui family does not choose to sign this agreement with the king of Wei, then we will be included in the eradication target by the king of Wei. After we sign this agreement, the crown prince may not be able to deal with us in any way." So." The butler said after thinking about it.

"You're right. Wei Wang Li Tai is much more dangerous than Crown Prince Li Chengqian. Now he only spends ten thousand taels of silver, leaving my Boling Cui family with no choice." Cui Yushi said.

"Sir, you mean that Cheng Tieniu placed bets on our handicap, which was also arranged by King Wei." The housekeeper said in surprise.

……

"Let me tell you, you have to give me Lao Cheng's 5000 taels of silver." Cheng Yaojin said to Li Tai as he walked.

"Uncle Cheng, I didn't get any money from Cui's house. You still ask me for 5000 taels, isn't it a little too much. How about I give you 5000 taels?" Li Tai Smiling and said to Cheng Yaojin.

"Hahaha, don't tell me I'm a fool when you think of Old Cheng. You didn't get a penny from Cui's family, but you got the whole Cui family. Your kid has made a lot of money with this deal." Cheng Yaojin smiled Said to Li Tai.

"I just rented his land, how did I become the entire Cui family." Li Tai asked pretendingly puzzled.

"My old Cheng is also a person who has been a great virtuous emperor and a devil king. Although he plays tricks and tricks, he is not as experienced as you and Niubi. But he is not an old fool who can't understand everything." Cheng Yaojin stretched out his big hand and patted it Li Tai said.

"Okay, okay, you old man, don't take any more photos. If you take any more photos, my little body will be smashed by you. Isn't it only 5000 taels of silver, and I will send it to your house tomorrow. " Li Tai grinned and said.

"That's good, that's good. Old Cheng had a few drinks just now, and now he's getting drunk, so I won't go for a stroll with you. I'll wait for you to bring me money when I get home." Cheng Yaojin finished speaking Afterwards, humming a little tune, with hands behind their backs, they headed towards Duke Lu's mansion.

Seeing Cheng Yaojin leaving, Li Tai said to himself: "No wonder this old guy can live to be more than 100 years old. This is the real wisdom and foolishness."

Li Tai didn't go directly back to Wei Wangfu, but went directly to Tai Chi Palace.He knew that even if he didn't say anything about it, Li Shimin would know about it soon.

Let Li Shimin find out by himself, it is better to confess to Li Shimin himself.Otherwise, it will arouse Li Shimin's suspicion.

……

Tai Chi Palace.

"Your Majesty, King Wei is here and is waiting outside the palace to be summoned." Li Shimin's personal eunuch said to Li Shimin.

"When did this kid understand the rules? He didn't ride his Dingjunhu on a rampage like before." Li Shimin said with a smile.

"I see that the king of Wei came on foot this time, and he didn't ride his Dingjun tiger, nor did he lead his big bird." The eunuch said to Li Shimin with a smile.

"This kid came to see me at this time, it seems that there must be something, you go and call him in." Li Shimin said.

Not long after, Li Taibian was led by the eunuch to Li Shimin's imperial study.After entering the Imperial Study Room, Li Tai first gave Li Shimin the royal gift.Then he opened his mouth and said: "My son, I have come to pay my respects to my father."

"If you have something to talk about, don't tell me what's useless. You boy came to see me at this time, isn't it just to say hello?" Li Shimin said directly to Li Tai without even raising his head.

"Father is really right. Qingque has something to ask father for help this time." Li Tai said to Li Shimin with a smile on his face.

"What's the matter with you kid, if you ask for money back, then don't talk about it." Li Shimin said to Li Tai.

"Father always says I'm a money fanatic, but I don't think father is much better than me." Li Tai muttered softly.

"Don't talk to yourself there. If you have something to say, hurry up. I still have to review the memorial." Li Shimin put down the brush in his hand and said.

"Qingque hopes that the emperor can exempt the Cui family from paying taxes for five years." Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

"Why did you come to speak for the Cui family today? Don't you hate the five surnames and seven sects?" Li Shimin asked with a strange expression.

"Didn't Qingque go to Cui's house to collect the betting money today? It's a pity that the Cui family can't afford that much money for a while. So they rented the Cui family's land to Qingque." Li Tai said to Li Shimin with a smile.

Hearing Li Tai's words, Li Shimin couldn't help standing up.Surprised, he asked Li Tai, "What did you say, the Cui family gave you the land."

"It's not going to be paid to the green sparrows. Every year, the green sparrows will give them [-]% of their harvest. And all the taxes and expenses will be borne by the green sparrows." Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

"You kid will do business at a loss. Tell me, how much land will the Cui family give you, and for how many years." Li Shimin asked Li Tai.

"All the land of Cui's family in Boling is limited to Qingque's lifetime. As long as Qingque doesn't die for a day, [-]% of Cui's land harvest will belong to Qingque." Li Tai said to Li Shimin.
