Chapter 768: Family Matters

"Ouyang Li greets the lord."

Ouyang Li noticed Li Xun at this time, and his face suddenly had a look of surprise, and he hurriedly ran over and knelt down to greet him.

Although Li Xun left Longyou, but there are still some trivial things to deal with over there, he is in a hurry to leave and has no time, so he left Ouyang Li to take care of it, and now in the past few months, Ouyang Li has dealt with the affairs of Longyou, and finally came back, the two have not seen each other for almost half a year, and it is no wonder that Ouyang Li is a little excited to see Li Xun.

"It's good to be back, everything has been taken care of in Wuzhou?"

Li Xun picked up Ouyang Li and asked out loud.

"Lord, according to your orders, bring back all the things that can be brought back, and all the things that can't be taken away will be handed over to Yu Yanhui to fund military affairs."

Li Xun stayed in Wuzhou for less than four years, not a long time, but the wealth he has accumulated is quite spectacular, the reason why he has collected so much money is not that Li Xun is greedy for money, but during the period when he governed the western part of Longyou, because of the financial difficulties of the imperial court, in addition to the management of weapons and equipment, more than 20,000 soldiers, food, housing, clothing, and a huge amount of food and salary every month, all have to be solved by Li Xun himself, so Li Xun was in Longyou during that time, in fact, a large part of his energy, It's all entangled in money.

As a leading general, through war, you can not only be promoted, but also rich.

In the first Longyou War, Li Xun fought a few wars and obtained a lot of wealth, at that time Li Xun was still very simple, so he handed over all the things he got to the imperial court, thinking that he could have a clear conscience, be honest and honest, but as a result afterwards, the money was handed over, just to get a few words that did not hurt or itch, of course, Zhao Zhi finally reused Li Xun for some reasons, and began to be in charge of the military and political power of the party at the age of Li Xun in his early twenties.

But the majority of Li Xun's soldiers are very dissatisfied with this, because after the end of a war, it is impossible for everyone in the court to be rewarded and promoted, and only a few people can be promoted, as for most of the soldiers at the bottom, their requirements are actually very simple, that is, after the war, the lord will be able to divide a part of the captured spoils, and everyone can get a little benefit, that's all, this is just a small head, as for the big head of the booty, whether your lord will hand it over to the court or keep it yourself, no one will care about these.

On that occasion, Li Xun handed over all the seized materials to the imperial court, and he thought very well at the time, hoping to ask for a fair reward for everyone through formal channels and in the form of asking for rewards in the above letters afterwards.

At that time, the imperial court was very financially difficult, in this case, there was a reason, there was no entry and no out, the money was handed over, and it was impossible to go back if you wanted to go back, so in the end, many people in Li Xunjun were promoted, but that was all false, and there was no real money.

This led to the general dissatisfaction of Li Xunjun's lieutenant generals, Li Xun regretted it, but it was too late, and he finally understood the truth, knowing that he was trying to ask Zhao Zhi for money at this time, and he didn't want to return a fart.

After this incident, Li Xun also began to follow the trend, like other generals, at most half of the wealth obtained in the war was handed over to the imperial court, and the rest was kept privately, and a part of it was rewarded to the soldiers of the whole army, and the rest was kept by himself to fund military affairs.

Li Xun handed over most of the wealth obtained by the Western Regions War to the imperial court, and Li Xun did not bring back the remaining wealth to Fengjing, but all of it was left in Xizhou and handed over to Lei Wanhai and Li Cunxiao for safekeeping.

Li Xun accumulated the wealth in Wuzhou, and returned to Fengjing the previous time, because his goal was too big, so he didn't bring anything, and the follow-up matter was handed over to Ouyang to deal with.

Ouyang Li took out a list from his arms and handed it to Li Xun, after Li Xun opened it and read it, he said with a sigh: "Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, I have only been in Longyou for a few years, and I have gained a lot of money." ”

To have so much money is actually not Li Xun's original intention, for example, the transaction with Ruan Donglang can get hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year, originally Li Xun thought that he would work in Longyou for at least a few more years, accumulating wealth, but also for the occasional need, but now, it is all in his pocket.

Li Xun handed the list to Sima Tu: "You can deal with the rest of the matter." ”

Sima Tu took the list and nodded: "Don't worry, my lord, I will handle it properly." ”

Li Xun looked left and right, a little absent-minded, he just didn't enter the house.

"Lord, if there is nothing to do, I will go and do things first."

"Oh, go ahead, I'll stand here for a while."

Sima Tu smiled slightly, and left with an understanding farewell.

After Sima Tu left, Li Xun looked at Ouyang Li and coughed dryly: "You came back alone?" ”

"Naturally not, the people who stayed in Wuzhou have all returned."

"I know they're all back, and I'm asking if they're back too?"

"But the lord is talking about the two little ladies Jingwen and Jingfei?"

Li Xun glared and scolded: "Don't pretend to be confused for me, where are the two of them now?" ”

Ouyang Li smiled and said, "The two little ladies have already gone in half an hour ago, and now they should be talking to the madam." ”

Li Xun glanced at the door, coughed dryly, and instructed Ouyang Li: "You go in to see the situation, and then come back immediately to report to me." ”

During the time when You Min lived in Wuzhou, she had already met with Jingwen and Jingfei, although You Min didn't say anything about Li Xun's concubine, but judging from her relatively cold attitude towards Jingwen and Jingfei, she was still very dissatisfied in her heart, too, as the original wife of the wife, Li Xun had to get the consent of her wife in the matter of taking concubines. As a concubine, whether she can enter the Li Mansion depends on You Min's attitude, even if it is Li Xun, in this matter, you can't interfere too much, this is the right of the wife, no matter what decision You Min makes, Li Xun must be respected.

The smile on Ouyang Li's face disappeared, and he said with a wry smile: "Lord, this is your family matter, and it is better for me, an outsider, not to participate." ”

Li Xunhu said with a grimace: "I see you as a brother, how can you be considered an outsider?" Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get in. ”

Ouyang Li smiled bitterly, there was no choice but to step into the house and investigate the situation for Li Xun.
