After Li Ziyu listened, her heart was silent.

The ancestor of the Lei family was really prescient, and he withdrew from right and wrong after fighting the world. There is a way that the birds are good and the bows are hidden, and the cunning rabbits are dead and the lackeys are cooked. In fact, there is another sentence at the back, the enemy country is broken, and the ministers are dead.

Most emperors in the world have the same thoughts, lest these heroes think about his country. Because although he sat on this country, he was not confident in sitting, and he didn't sit so naturally. Because everyone helped him fight this world.

Li Ziyu once read the book [Naturalist Guangzhi], which mainly recorded the customs and customs of various places, and only briefly mentioned several feudal kings who were divided in the early days of the Daye Dynasty.

King Yan Shengqi was the brother of Taizu, and his fiefdom was in the area of present-day Hebei, including Handan, Baoding, and Cangzhou. It is the largest fief area among several vassal kings, which shows that Taizu still loves this brother very much.

Huaiwang Jiang Wenhao's fief is in the Jiaodong area, and there are only two county seats.

The fief of Liu Wenqing, the king of Lu, is in the area of Henan, with three county seats.

The fief of King Hui Tao Siyi is in Taiyuan, Shanxi, three county seats.

King Jing Yu Mingsu fief in Shaanxi, three county seats.

As vassal kings, the land of the feudal feud was very small, and they were completely confined to a corner. It is fundamentally not proportional to the military exploits they established for the Daye Dynasty, and it can also be seen how narrow-minded Emperor Taizu is. It can also be said that Emperor Taizu guarded against these vassal kings from the beginning.

Moreover, Emperor Taizu stipulated that only the imperial court announced that the vassal king could enter Beijing. Otherwise, it shall be punished as treason.

Not only that, but the eldest son of each vassal king had to be sent to the capital after the age of six. Accompany the princes to study and practice martial arts. In fact, he became a hostage in disguise, so as to contain the various vassal kings.

But despite this, after hundreds of years of family reproduction. Each vassal king is no longer the same as it was at the beginning.

Although there are only two or three county fiefdoms, although the vassal king cannot leave the fiefdom without permission. But their descendants did not restrict their movements, nor did they restrict their careers. Therefore, now the children of their family have already stepped out of the fiefdom, and their tentacles have also extended to all fields and strata of the Daye Dynasty.

These materials just flashed in Li Ziyu's mind, and then they were left behind. The problem she is most concerned about now has been solved, and she has a heart sickness. Immediately got up and took his leave.

The Lei family in the town should really visit if they have time to see why Lei Shi, who should have been in the capital, settled here.

Actually, what Li Ziyu didn't know was. The reason why Lei Shi settled in Shiyan Town is for a reason.

About twenty years ago, Lei Shi was fourteen or fifteen years old, and he was plundered to the border by the secret guards of the Liao State without checking. When you are about to cross the border. was found and rescued by Ouyang Jingde, who was on patrol.

Upon inquiry, it was learned that he was a child of the Lei family. Ouyang Jingde was overjoyed. On the one hand, he informed the emperor and asked Lei Shi to stay, and on the other hand, he comforted Lei Shi and treated him as a guest.

The reason was that there were large-scale wars on the border and in the Liao State from time to time, and the weapons in the army were seriously damaged. Ouyang Jingde and the imperial court appealed several times, but the weapons could not be replenished in time. Ouyang Jingde's hair turned a lot whiter, and when he was unable to do anything, the heavens sent Lei Shi over.

Who is the Lei family? It was a family of blacksmiths. When Taizu raised the army, it was the Lei family who opened an arsenal in the back, specializing in making weapons in the army. A steady stream of well-varied weapons arrived at the front line. It became the most solid backing for Taizu's actions, and also made great contributions to the establishment of the Daye Dynasty.

Although later, the Lei family no longer made weapons. But as a descendant of the Lei family, Lei Shi's skills should not be bad.

At that time, the emperor was worried about military spending, and after receiving Ouyang Jingde's express report, he immediately agreed to his suggestion and let Lei Shi stay in the army to specialize in making military weapons.

As a small soldier, Wang Tiehammer was assigned to the thunder stone to burn the fire and lay down the hand. Because of his cleverness, simplicity and honesty, Lei Shi taught him a few hands by the way, but he didn't expect to become an excellent blacksmith.

Fifteen or sixteen years ago, Ouyang Jingde was slandered and rebelled, and after the whole family was beheaded, Lei Shi left the army. But he didn't go back to the capital, nor did he go back to the south, so he stayed in Shiyan Town and settled down. Lei Haokun, his grandfather in Qiucheng in the south, exchanged a secret recipe for striking iron for the freedom of Lei Shi, and the matter was over.

This secret recipe has been remembered by the royal family for decades, and Lei Haokun knows that this secret recipe is royal sooner or later, and it is impossible for him to keep it. Rather than being suspicious of the royal family with the secret recipe and causing a heinous disaster, it is better to exchange it for the freedom of the grandson. It can be regarded as the last bit of value of the secret recipe, and both the royal family and the Lei family are very happy.

After Lei Shi settled in Shiyan Town, he opened a series of grain shops and warehouses around Shiyan Town. Bring the high-quality rice from the south over, and then transport the local products from the north to the south, and earn the difference in price.

Now Lei's warehouse and grain store are well-known and have a good reputation, and they have the potential to replace the Sun family.

Where is the Sun family willing to let the Lei family dominate, and they have used all kinds of means. Including robbing grain trucks and grain ships, setting fire to grain depots, and making trouble at warehouses. But no matter how much trouble you make, it will always be the Sun family who suffers, which makes Sun Wei grit his teeth but helpless.

He didn't understand, wasn't the foundation of the Lei family in the Southern Autumn City? How can there be such a big force? Usually, he can't see where the Lei family's power is hidden, but at the critical moment, it keeps popping up, making him unguardable.

He also asked the secret guard to investigate carefully, but he didn't find any clues of the Lei family's forces. This made him feel faintly uneasy, as if something had made him negligent, but he couldn't remember what it was.

In Shiyan Town, it is based on strength to speak. Inadvertently, several families in the town suddenly got up.

In addition to the Lei family, there are also several major families such as the Qian family, the Wei family, the Yu family and the Ji family. They faintly joined forces and opened a lot of the same business as the Sun family for the Sun family's business, which had the intention of working against the Sun family.

He also sent ruffians to make trouble, and everyone who went would come back with a broken head and a bloody head. didn't have a trace of effect, not to mention, but also made these shops out of the limelight and famous.

These shops seemed to have no connection, but he felt that they must have something to do with the Lei family. Before the Lei family settled, Shiyan Town was completely in the hands of the Sun family. No one dared to say a word to the Sun family, and those who dared to say it had already disappeared by now.

After the Lei family settled down, although it was not obvious, there were still changes. This change is that someone in the town dares to say no to him, which is not a good phenomenon.

Now in Shiyan Town, it seems that the Sun family is dominant, but secretly the Sun family has every constraint. Since when did this happen? This kind of restraint is like a trickle, silently penetrating into every field, not obvious but felt.

These phenomena made him restless and had a faint sense of crisis.

Shiyan Town can only be the territory of his grandson's family, and no one should get involved. Just when he was determined to uproot them, he received a message from the Flying Eagle telling him to calm down and not act rashly.

He could only follow the instructions and lie dormant for the time being. Secretly, he hoped that he would act sooner, so that he could raise his eyebrows and uproot these hostile forces. (To be continued......)
