Datang: Cheating in the imperial examination at the beginning

The affairs of the family, except for him and Li Shimin, I am afraid that no one knows.

Wei Zheng was actually able to see it from it.

Lu Yan realized at this time that the appearance of Wei Zheng he was facing on weekdays was just what he wanted others to see.

The real Wei Zheng, where will it be worse?

Wisdom is as much as a demon.

If he didn't have amazing wisdom, how could he become one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion?

In fact, he looks upright on the outside, but he is also an old fox.

"Wei Lao........ You know it all?".

Lu Yan asked tentatively.

Wei Zheng smiled faintly and said: "The old man has been an official for so many years, if he can't see the tricks in it, I'm afraid he will be confused for a lifetime." "

"Civil officials need more than just poetry and songs, how can that old man know about Cheng Yanjin?"

Wei Zheng had a hint of pride on his face.

He also has this qualification.

Lu Yan realized at this time that he really despised these people.

has a systematic body, and carries thousands of years of knowledge in China.

But these people can stand for eternity without falling, after all, they are the best among them, and the wisdom of the ancients cannot be ignored.

Lu Yan was a little lucky, but fortunately he realized this today.

If he continues with this contemptuous attitude in the future, it is very likely that he will capsize in the gutter.

"Thank you, Mr. Wei!".

Lu Yan got up and saluted Wei Zheng, where would he not know that Wei Zheng was pointing at himself.

There is no relationship between each other, but Wei Zheng can teach him such a truth.

It is difficult for ordinary people, even if they are brothers, to do this.

When he has the grace of teaching, he can be called half a teacher.

It was enough to make Lu Yan respectful.

Wei Zheng saw that Lu Yan was also a clever and exquisite heart, and he could understand it at one point, so he nodded with satisfaction.

stroked his beard, frowned and said, "You are so clever in everything, why are you so confused above the family?"

"The family has been inherited for thousands of years, and all dynasties have wanted to take back their rights from them. "

"But as you can see, the dynasty has changed, but the family has not fallen, do you know why?"

Lu Yan also humbly asked for advice at this time: "Please also ask Old Wei for some advice." "

Wei Zheng has lived for decades, and his life has already been transparent, and he is about to reach the age of knowing the destiny of heaven.

has been operating in officialdom for many years, and casually revealing a little experience is enough to benefit people a lot, and Lu Yan is no exception.

For the family, he really didn't know that clearly.

Knowing himself and knowing that he has won all battles, he still understands this truth.

"There is no other reason, the family controls the economic lifeline, the political lifeline, throughout the Tang Dynasty, the five surnames and seven hopes are known to everyone. The Taiyuan Wang clan controls iron smelting. "

"The entire Tang Dynasty, whether it is the iron ore, or the farming tools used by the farmers, or the weapons and armor of the Tang army, are all produced from them. "

"The Li family in Longxi can be said to be the head of the five surnames and seven hopes, and they hold the official salt line. "

"This is just the tip of the iceberg, not to mention the ministers of the DPRK and China, most of them are produced from these families, and the power behind them is not something you can imagine. "

Wei Zheng said earnestly: "They have always been high and domineering. Treating civilians as ants, even if we are still unable to enter their eyes, small families. "

"If you offend them, I'm afraid it's ........."

Wei Zheng was a little speechless and stopped.

Lu Yan was shocked, he knew that the family had absolute power, but he didn't know that it had reached this level.

Iron smelting, official salt....... Such a forbidden industry is also held in their hands.

Although these seem ordinary, there are huge profits hidden behind them.

Otherwise, it will not be directly put in the hands of the government, and all those who operate privately will face extremely severe punishments.

In this cycle for thousands of years, they have long become behemoths, and they step forward to fight against them, which is tantamount to a mayfly shaking a tree.

No wonder Wei Zheng said he was confused.

Whoever looks at it will feel a little overwhelmed.

"But....... Isn't the government in control of iron smelting and official salt?"

Lu Yan was a little puzzled, Datang was faced with these two industries, naturally he would not let them out easily, this is the lifeblood that can check and balance the country, where is it so easy to leave disadvantages for people.

Not to mention the ambitious Li Shimin, it is impossible to sit back and watch such a situation happen.

"Over the years, the Emperor and His Majesty have been trying to take back their rights little by little. The Maison has been affected to some extent, but it has not been a big problem. "

Wei Zheng said: "They were only kept with the right to mine and forge, but they could not be sold. Over the years, they have not only not been affected, but have flourished somewhat. "

That's where he wonders.

Logically speaking, this is the lifeline of the family, the means of survival, and it will definitely be hit by the imperial power.

Lu Yan jumped out of the corner of his eyes, and his heart suddenly jumped.

"Smuggling!".

A thought breeds in an instant.

The only thing he could imagine was that the family was not only not checked and balanced in the face of this situation, but it developed rapidly, which was such a means.

The more Lu Yan thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible!

With the magnitude and arrogance of the family, it is extremely normal to cooperate with the imperial power on the surface and do smuggling behind the scenes.

Smuggling, no matter what dynasty it is, is no small matter.

Lu Yan seemed to see a glimmer of opportunity.

Wei Zheng didn't notice Lu Yan's expression, but continued: "The family has always been tied together, never married to the outside, and has always intermarried internally, and each family is close to each other. Grasshoppers tied to a rope, if you touch them, won't you want to cause them to thunder back. "

"Not just one, but all!".

Lu Yan saw Wei Zheng thinking about himself like this, and he was also a little moved in his heart.

It can be seen that Wei Zheng is wholehearted and not mixed with a little selfishness.

The family's affairs do not mean that they can withdraw from it, if the family does not trouble themselves, they can be safe.

But if it touches his bottom line, Lu Yan has no reason to retreat.

Even so, Lu Yan still got up and bowed: "Thank you Elder Wei, I have benefited a lot from here." It's just that the family matters, and I can't help myself!"
