"Madame Du is an extremely shrewd person." Li Ze was very emotional to Min Judo.

Min Rou felt the same way.

"Of course. Mrs. Du was originally from a famous family, and she has followed Du Youcai over the years, what kind of scene has she not experienced, and what kind of character has she not seen? She made a quick decision, and the strong man broke his wrist, even his subordinates admired her very much. Don't lose to the bearded man. ”

Li Ze took the opportunity to pay tribute to Du Youcai's father and son and visited Mrs. Du. At this time, Mrs. Du was deeply tormented by the Du clan, when a big tree fell, the monkeys on the tree wanted to go their separate ways, which was not unexpected, but those people should not want to use this as an excuse to seize what did not belong to them, or even want to bully the original owner's family. It's a pity that the Du family did it.

Du Youcai died.

Du Liang also died.

Although Du Liang has a son, he is young, without the support of his father and grandfather, he doesn't look like a person who can become a big man, and the rest of the Du family can't help but think about it, and they all want to get more benefits from their own family.

But they forgot that there was an old lady in the Du family.

In the meeting with Li Ze, the old lady generously presented the property that Du Youcai had obtained over the years, and the land alone had this million mu. Mrs. Du only left some clan fields for the Du clan to worship the family temple. Other properties and shops all over the country were handed over to Li Ze.

"The old body and the children have nothing now, and those people can't plot anything against us. Our group of orphans and widows then moved to live in Wuyi, and with my salary and the title of my grandson, we were able to live. In Wuyi, these people always dare not disturb us. The old lady's words were filled with great resentment.

The Du family originally had several warehouses, which were full of gold, silver and jewelry, but these things were all snatched away by the Tubo people, and in the end they all fell into Li Ze's hands.

Looking at the thick stack of land deeds and shop deeds in his hand, to be honest, Li Ze was a little surprised. The Du family must be the largest clan in Ansui, the largest landlord, originally he thought that if he wanted to get these back, it would take some effort, after all, Du Youcai's father and son were killed on the battlefield, and if they moved their family property again at this time, it would inevitably make Ansui people cold, for this reason, he was struggling with his nerves, and he never thought that the matter would be solved so easily.

After pondering for a moment, Li Ze said slowly: "The old lady also knows the policy of the Zhenzhou Imperial Court on land, so I accepted these land deeds." But it will leave 5,000 acres for the old lady to use for her own use. This is also the most land we have under the rule of Zhenzhou. ”

Seeing that Old Madam Du was about to refuse, Li Ze waved his hand, and then said: "Old Madam Du, don't be in a hurry to refuse, I know that there is indeed no one to support the overall situation in the Du family's own branch now, so these fields, the imperial court will send someone to take care of them for you, help you plant, and after paying the due taxes and normal expenses every year, the surplus will be handed over to you." The rest of the land, the imperial court is not for nothing, but will be purchased at a parity price. ”

"Even if it is parity, the final amount is too large, and now our family is afraid that there is too much money." Old Madam Du was a little surprised by Li Ze's attitude.

"After all, it is a family, and there is always something to be sent, that is, beggars come to the door, old lady, you will not let people go home empty-handed!" Li Ze said with a smile: "This money, the old lady should be used to buy out the relationship with these people at one time." ”

Old Madam Du pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Xiangye is right. ”

"As for these stores, we can't accept them. It's still that way, if the old lady has no one at hand, the court can send someone to help manage it, and if the old lady agrees, the supply and marketing cooperative can participate in it, so that the old lady will wait for dividends every year. The descendants of the national meritorious heroes, if the court can't let them live a good life, then who will want to serve the court in the future? ”

"Where are you going to stay? It's up to you, old lady, to choose, whether it's Ansui or Wuyi, no matter where you are, there is always a place for the Du family to live. ”

"Let's go to Wuyi!" Mrs. Du is unequivocal on this point. "My grandchildren are about to reach school age, and I heard that Wuwei Academy is now the best school in the world, and I hope to send my children there to study when the time comes."

"There's nothing wrong with that!" Li Ze nodded with a smile.

Mrs. Du's family property was exchanged for the peace and prosperity of the family. She deeply knows that no matter how much Du Youcai has made great contributions, but as soon as a person dies, the tea will be cold, even if it is not cold at that time, there will always be a time when it will be cold. And with the current situation of their family, once the tea is cold, they are afraid that all kinds of persecution will come to the door. It's better to use everything you can still control now and buy a promise from Li Ze.

She believes that her actions are enough to leave an extremely profound image on Li Ze, and she also believes that as long as she lives, she will have enough face in front of Li Ze.

After all, she provided Li Ze with great convenience, or help.

Li Ze's reward for her was also generous. All she has to do now is to train her grandchildren well, if her grandson becomes angry, she will be able to go through the sea again in more than ten years, and the Du family will still have a day to rise again. is a granddaughter, as long as she is cultivated, can't she also find a good helper for the Du family through marriage!

And in these days, she needs a strong umbrella, and under the rule of Zhenzhou, can that umbrella be bigger and stronger than Li Ze?

As for whether the other clansmen of the Du family suffer losses, what does it matter to her? The people whose names are all Du family branches are either Du Youcai, Du Liang, or her grandchildren. Those people are just begging for food, and she can't take care of them.

Tian Bo said on the side: "In fact, the rule of the Du family in Ansui is far from lenient, don't look at Du Youcai's civil official background, but his governance can be described as harsh, in Ansui, there are many bandits who occupy the mountains as kings, and there are also large numbers of horse thieves." Some of these bandits were inserted by Tibet, so it was extremely complicated. Most of the rich family property of the Du family is also the blood and tears of others, but Mrs. Du came to this trick, but she washed it clean. ”

"What temple doesn't have a ghost who died unjustly! If you want to be as clear as water, it is simply impossible. Li Ze waved his hand, "Sometimes, you can only watch the big festival." Tian Bo, those bandits, you deal with them first, tell them, put down their weapons, go back to their original origins, I don't blame the past, put down the butcher's knife, pick up the hoe, they are still good citizens of the Tang Dynasty. I will only give the opportunity once, limited to one month, and after a month, the army will begin to suppress the bandits. But whoever does not lay down his arms within the time limit will feel sorry for himself when the time comes. ”

"I'm afraid that some people are used to being bandits, and they are no longer used to their hard work." Tian Bo said with a smile.

"Then let them do harder work, or die!" Li Ze said coldly. "You and Dai Lin are working together to do this, and he is probably more familiar with the bandits in Ansui than you."

"What do you think of Dai Lin? I heard that he was in Ansui and didn't have much property, which was much more than I expected. Min Rou said: "His person is very upright, and his family style is also very good, and he can hardly find too many problems." ”

"Don't you allow there to be a clean official and a good official in this world?" Li Ze burst out laughing.

"Dai Lin is a native of Hanzhong, his family is well-off, and he can afford to study, but after reading about the lifting of people, it will come to an end, and later I heard that there was a dispute with a local tycoon, because his family's land is just in the middle of the two fields of this tycoon, and the man wants to buy Dai Lin's land to connect his own family, but this is the ancestral property of Dai Lin's family, so he refuses to sell it." Tian Bodao.

Min Rou suddenly realized. It's another cliché story, it must be that big man who used some improper means to seize Dai's ancestral property, so that Dai Lin had to flee.

Fortunately, Dai Lin had a classmate who was a petty official in the local government and informed him in advance, Dai Lin knew that he could not be defeated, so he fled with his family overnight. Later, he followed Du Youcai by mistake. ”

"After Dai Lin became developed, he didn't go back to find someone to settle accounts?" Min Rouqi said.

"He is developed in Ansui, but he is nothing in Hanzhong, the son of that big man is now a assassin in Hanzhong, how can you let him take revenge?" Li Ze said with a smile.

"Wonderful!" Min Rou clapped his hands and smiled: "When he is completely at home, he will lead the plot to seize the land of Hanzhong in the future, and he will definitely be positive and abnormal." ”

Li Ze laughed at it, of course he would have such thoughts, but it was more necessary to look at the future development of the situation before making a final decision. Thinking so far now doesn't help at all, he reuses Dai Lin, just because there is no better candidate for this position than Dai Lin now.

"The matter in Xiazhou has been solved like this, but it has solved a lot of problems for Dai Lin in disguise, and the next thing will not require me to stay here anymore. Tell the ministries to get ready to set off for Lingzhou! ”

"Yes!" Min Judo.

This time to Lingzhou, it was more of an armed parade and a threatening action, so Li Ze did not prepare too many troops, except for Li Cunzhong's Zuo Wuwei, the other departments were all cavalry, forming a large cavalry group under the unified command of Min Rou. It is estimated that by the time they arrived in Lingzhou, Tocharian had almost withdrawn. The possibility of another big fight between the two sides in Lingzhou is basically non-existent.

Tocharian can't afford to lose.

He wants to fight another battle with Li Ze in Lingzhou, not to mention the big defeat and loss, as long as his strength drops another notch, and when he returns to China, life will be even more difficult.
