Su Shi, as the hostess of Chengde, and Li Anguo is indeed sorry for it, it is a funeral, naturally it is extremely grief, just the water and land dojo is enough to do 7749 days, and according to the rules, these 49 days, Li Zeke has to stay in the mourning hall.

Of course, Li Ze will not leave the mourning hall for a moment to play this filial son and grandson, in fact, he will only appear when someone with a valuable identity comes to mourn.

The mourners from the four states of Chengde have arrived one after another in the first few days, and casually, Dizhou, Cangzhou, and even Jingzhou, which were beaten down by Li Ze, and even the leading figures of Yingzhou who had just been taken down also arrived one after another, but Li Ze was tired enough.

But no matter how tired you are, you still have to do what you have to do.

After dealing with the matter of the second uncle Li Anmin, Li Ze and Li Bo and Li Tao talked for a long time all night, with the heart of the two of them, and in the fifteenth heaven, Li Ze finally took time out and decided to meet the three big people in Zhenzhou.

The location was chosen in Yuan Zhou's Zhuxuan.

In the Xiangfei Pavilion, the two sat opposite each other, and Li Ze, who came to Zhuxuan for the first time, was very surprised that there was such a quiet place in the bustling Zhending City. In the previous life, Li Ze had been to countless luxurious or elegant places with different characteristics for people to drink, entertain or talk about business, compared with those places, although Zhuxuan has been in the past thousand years, it is not inferior in terms of characteristics.

The inside of Zhuxuan is very quiet, and the hustle and bustle of other restaurants outside has become two extremes. What surprised Li Ze even more was that although it was in the cold winter, the Xiangfei bamboo in the Xiangfei Pavilion was still growing very well, and the snow that fell from the sky was artificially cleared, and now the snowflakes falling in the sky turned out to be polarized on the ground. And in the entire Xiangfei Pavilion, without laying a fire dragon, as soon as you step into the house, there is still a warmth in your face.

"Isn't there a hot spring down here?" Li Ze looked at Yuan Zhou with some surprise.

Yuan Zhou shook his head with a smile: "Childe, there is no hot spring here, but the effect is similar. Under the ground of this Xiangfei Pavilion, ditches were dug one after another, and then some people kept boiling hot water day and night, pouring into these ditches, the hot water flowed, and the hot gas steamed, and this place became what it is now, otherwise Xiangfei Bamboo would be difficult to survive in our north."

"Zhu Xuan is really rich! It's going to cost a lot of money." Li Ze said with a smile.

"Naturally, someone will pay for this!" Yuan Zhou said with a smile: "The people outside want to charter the Xiangfei Pavilion, but at the end of the day, it can't be done without a hundred taels of silver. And the cost of boiling hot water is only a few taels of silver. And this money is spent in the winter, not in other seasons, but the fees here are the same all year round."

Li Ze laughed: "I can't imagine that Lord Yuan is a humble scholar and has the ability to make money, but it is not small."

"How can I have such a delicate mind, this is my nephew's skill, I'm just a backstage umbrella behind him." Yuan Zhoudao." The entire Zhuxuan is actually run by him, and I only take money."

Li Ze smiled and said, "I didn't expect Yuan Tingshi to be so calm, but it was really beyond my expectations."

Yuan Zhou spread his hands and said: "Money is a good thing, it is difficult to move an inch without money. I think Childe also understands this very well. As for me, I am in a high position in Chengde, and it is actually easy to get money, but a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, so there is this Zhuxuan. But anyone who can spend money here is a rich person, so no matter how expensive the money is, I can feel at ease."

Li Ze nodded and said, "Yuan Tingshi is right, it is indeed difficult to move an inch without money. I also appreciate Yuan Tingshi's gentleman Ancai, and I appreciate it very much, is this the reason why Yuan Tingshi only bought more than 1,000 acres of fertile land in his hometown in Zhenzhou? ”

Yuan Zhou smiled: "Yuan was originally a family of cultivation and study, thousands of acres of fertile land, which is enough for Yuan's family to live very comfortably, plus with this bamboo Xuan, my life is actually extremely comfortable. Therefore, Childe, you have no opinion on the tax policy you implemented in Yizhou, as well as the policy of renting. Because this has no effect on my Yuan clan."

Li Ze looked at Yuan Zhou in amazement, and then smiled for a while: "Yuan Tingshi originally thought so?" If you also have 10,000 acres of fertile land, do you also have to deal with Li Ze? ”

"I think it would be." Yuan Zhou nodded. Childe's knife goes down, and it's not just the wealth of these people! This is the foundation of a wealthy family."

"Yuan Tingshi is a successful person, and he can see through Li Ze's intentions at a glance." Li Ze stood up and paced back and forth in the room for a few steps, "Whether it is a family or a strong family, their wealth comes from oppressing ordinary people, using the control of land and wealth, they also indirectly control the people, making the people their actual vassals, and these huge number of vassals have turned into their capital to blackmail the government. As a result, the government has become a vicious circle, which will eventually be uncontrollable."

"Everyone understands the truth, but no one will want to give up their interests if they want vested interests, just as we all know that when this kind of thing reaches an extreme, it will inevitably set off the kind of chaos in the world decades ago, a group of heroes have fallen, but a new group has stood up and maintained a few decades of peace."

"So I want to change that." Li Zehuo Ran turned around and looked at Yuan Zhoudao: "Yuan Tingshi may help me?" ”

"Do your part!" Where Yuan Zhou sat there and bowed slightly: "Please don't blame Gongzi, Yuan doesn't dare to charge for Gongzi!" ”

Li Ze sat down again, looked at Yuan Zhou's appearance, and said with a smile: "Also, Lord Yuan Mingzhe is not bad to protect himself. Actually, it's already helping me."

"Childe doesn't blame, Yuan is already very grateful. Does Childe know who is the biggest landlord in Chengde? Yuan Zhou asked rhetorically.

"Of course, it's our Li clan!" Li Ze nodded and said: "Li Fu has already made a detailed report to me, my Li family actually owns more than 100,000 mu of fertile land in Chengde, and others such as You Yong, Wang Sili, etc., also have tens of thousands of acres of fertile land."

Yuan Zhou looked at Li Ze with a smile.

"The Li family will only leave the clan field, and the rest will be turned into official fields." LI Zedao.

"Childe's move is inappropriate." Yuan Zhou shook his head slowly.

"Why not?"

"If Childe does this, how will You Yong, Wang Sili and others deal with themselves? Do you also want to learn from Gongzi to donate these fields? If they donate, they will be sick for the world, but if they donate, the loss will be too great for them. Is Childe trying to force them to retire? ”

"Li Ze doesn't have this intention, whether it's You Yong or Wang Sili, they can still be of great use." Li Ze shook his head and said, "That's why I'll meet them here with you today."

"In that case, Childe can't do that." Hearing that Li Ze would continue to reuse You Yong, Wang Sili and the others, Yuan Zhou seemed to be relieved." If Childe wants to turn these private fields into public land, why not buy them by redemption? You can use the market price, or you can negotiate the price between the two parties, so that You Wang and the others will not be too disgusted."

"This is a solution, but I'm afraid that the Chengde Mansion Treasury won't be able to come up with so much money for a while!" Li Ze said with a smile: "Yuan Tingshi should know that in the past year, almost all of Chengde's savings have been used to fight."

"Chengde is a son, he has no money, he can make an IOU! There are many other ways to compensate." Yuan Zhou said with a smile.

Li Ze nodded, smiled and said nothing. At this point, he really believes that Yuan Zhou is indeed thinking about himself wholeheartedly, and for the sake of Chengde, the method he said before, if Yuan Zhou praises him and praises him Li Zegong and forgetfulness, and gives up his small family for everyone, he really has to be vigilant against this person, it is Yuan Zhou's opposition that makes Li Ze basically believe in this person's integrity.

Footsteps sounded outside the door, Li Mi pushed the door in, bowed down and said, "Childe, General You, and General Wang have arrived."

Li Ze looked at Yuan Zhou and said, "Yuan Tingshi, let's go to greet each other together?" ”

"That's how it should be!" Yuan Zhou said with a smile.

Although You Yong and Wang Sili were very respectful to Li Ze, the sense of alienation between their expressions could be felt by anyone. Li Ze didn't care, and welcomed the two of them in with a smile: "The two uncles turned the tide this time, not only did they try to ensure that Chengde did not lose, but also won the land of Dingzhou and Yizhou for Chengde.

You Yong clenched his fists and said politely: "Childe said that he laughed, this time Chengde won a big victory, all of them were made by the handsome and son-in-law, and we are just executing, but there is some hard work, but the credit does not need to be mentioned."

Wang Sili snorted coldly: "Son, now is the mourning period for Mrs. Jieshuai, under the rule of Chengde, joy and feasting are forbidden, but we are here to feast and drink, I'm afraid it's inappropriate, let outsiders know, if you want to say that we are disloyal, you also have to say that the son is unfilial."

Wang Sili was so polite, Li Ze couldn't see the joy and anger on his face, but Yuan Zhou smiled and said: "This is a big festival, how can the son disobey?" General Wang, look, today's banquet is a vegetarian banquet, and there is no wine, only a pot of water."

Li Ze said lightly: "Although Li Ze is young, he has also learned since he was a child, General Wang, please sit down!" ”

You Yong sat down first, today's topic, of course, is not drinking.

Wang Sili sat down next to him, looked at Li Ze and said: "Childe, we also know that you have something to say to us today, you might as well get straight to the point first, after speaking, whether this meal can be eaten or not!" ”

You Yongyi frowned: "Old Wang, don't be rude."

Wang Sili sneered: "Lao You, you are already ready to resign, it seems that I will also follow in your footsteps, and I want to use the credit of the two of us in exchange for a safe retirement, and Prince Ze will not allow it, right?" In the future, you and I will be ordinary people, so do you need to have too many scruples? ”

Seeing that Wang Sili was not so rude, Li Ze's face gradually turned cold.
