Chapter 264 Divert Attention
"King Qing, dare to ask how many silver taels it costs to write this book, it's really not good, and it's negotiable for this silver tael to come out of my family."
"Yes, yes, money is something outside the body, not important, like such a big thing, how can you wait and wait."
Writing a history book is not a simple matter, not to mention anything else, it takes a lot of time to proofread in many ways to find the truth. In these times, not to mention the labor costs, the cost of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, that is, the cost of eating, drinking and lazing for a group of people is a lot of money.
With such a large sum of money, although these families have money, they are just a child, and of course they have no right to transfer it. And the reason why the people who said these things dared to boast about these Haikou was because they were very sure that after the family knew the use of the money, they would definitely support it very much.
Not only will there be no punishment, but it is estimated that there will be no small reward. So they have the confidence to say such things, not because they have such ability, but because they know that the family behind them has such ability.
"How embarrassing is this, after all, it is to compile books for the saints, how can you use your family's money?" Li Xie waved his hand very nobly, and rejected their proposal with a serious face.
But when Li Xie spoke just now, didn't he just want these things? Why is he so resolute in refusing at this time?
Just when everyone was confused, Li Xie's words turned around and came with this sentence:
"But now the imperial court really can't afford to make such a large sum of money. And you have a point. If this history book thing drags on for too long, it will not be good after all. ”
Li Xie sighed like this, and everyone nodded again and again to cater to it:
"What King Qing said is what he said."
"That's how it should be."
"Otherwise, it will be borrowed from you by the court, but there is one thing that must be said first. There is no interest, but will it definitely be repaid later? ”
Li Xie seemed to be quite embarrassed when he said it, but the meaning in this was not as embarrassed as he appeared. There is no interest on this, and the repayment period is not fixed, just a very general concept for the future.
If I borrow this money, can I get it back? You have to know whether it will be paid back in one year, ten years or later, and even 100 years later. Since there is no interest, the one who borrows the money is the uncle.
But for these people, they didn't expect to be able to get the money back. So Li Xie's statement, they are still very acceptable.
King Qing said with a smile, they were all worried about the court, and they didn't pay anything back. That's totally okay, let's discuss it later! ”
"Yes, yes, anyway, there is no shortage of silver in our family, and it is piled up there, and it is also excellent to be able to take it out and make some contributions to the imperial court."
One by two, they are scrambling, for fear that Li Xie will not borrow it, and people who don't know still think that they are really so loyal to the court!
"In this case, let's sort out the books first, what is not recorded here, or there are omissions, if you have it at home, you may wish to bring it over, and you can be more comprehensive with each other.
Also, although I don't care about this yellow and white thing, but it's not okay if you don't have it, of course I agree with you if you want to contribute money and efforts, but after all, the stakes are very high, so let's go back and discuss it with my family!
In short, just one principle, do what you can. ”
Li Xie, under the witness of the three old men and Cao Ying, fooled a group of people into a cripple. The key is that this group of people who have been fooled are still very happy, and Li Xie's blatant fooling of money, these people are more brainy, and the estimation is also clear.
can still happily enter the pit, I have to say that Li Xie's skills are also very profound.
A group of people stood up, hastily picked up a few books and let them go, it was already time to leave work in the afternoon, Li Xie greeted them and asked them to leave first.
It was only at this time that Chen Pingqing opened his mouth to ask his doubts:
"What are you going to do, do you really give them a reputation?"
Chen Pingqing saw Li Xie's fierce operation, and thought that he wanted to pit those families for a little money. But this is not worth the loss, and having that little money will only fuel the arrogance of others, so what is the use of taking a little silver?
"Long before I got married, I told people to go down to the south to carry grain. Now the grain will arrive tomorrow, and if they are allowed to make use of it, they don't know if it will be distributed to the people! ”
Li Xie said that half of it was left behind, but these three old men were all old and sophisticated, and when he said this, he suddenly seemed to understand what he meant.
"You're trying to get their attention to this?"
"It can be said that at least there is this matter, and they dare not let go of their hands and feet to cause destruction." Li Xie's plan is only this, but there is no need to say it all now.
"So this book is about it, please add more to it."
"Okay, if that's the purpose, then of course we should do it." Chen Pingqing took the lead in nodding and agreed.
Li Xie chatted with the three old men about some details, which was nothing more than the question of who to write and who not to write. After some discussion, seeing that the sky was almost dark, Li Xie pulled Cao Ying and left.
"I always feel like this kid hasn't finished talking yet!" Liu Zuxiang watched Li Xie and Cao Ying leave side by side, and said to Chen Pingqing.
"There's no need to be too clear, hasn't he just been talking to us about what to write and who to write about? Actually, it's all about this. Chen Pingqing touched his beard and said with a smile of satisfaction.
"Is this going to be a coalition? That's a little different from what that person meant. ”
"It's better to operate, isn't it? Moreover, he chose men. ”……
Vertical and horizontal alliances? Perhaps! Li Xie may really have such a plan. But this is only one of the foreshadowings he has planted. In fact, as far as he is concerned, as long as those families do not offend him, he actually doesn't really want to target those people.
Of course, the people mentioned here certainly do not include the Huang family. Huang Tong arrested Li Xie, although he didn't know what Huang Tong's original plan was, but in the end, he was seriously injured, and even his dantian was abolished.
Li Xie thinks that he is not a generous person, and he can't forgive. So even if the Huang family has no signs of making a move on him now, he has not thought of letting this family go.
Of course, Li Xie's shot will not be without reason. At least he had to find a reason to kill them before he could do it, and he couldn't do it now if he came to the door for no reason.
This may be the entanglement in human nature, Li Xie thinks that his wife and children will not be harmed, but he doesn't want to let go of this family so easily. So he will look for evidence, find evidence of their crimes, and use the law to avenge himself.
It's against them, but it's not against them. Because if the Huang family's family is upright and sits upright, Li Xie will have nothing to do with them, so he won't talk about anything to make a move.
In other words, if they touch the bottom line of the law, then Li Xie is not a communiqué personal vendetta, but a punishment for adultery and evil.
It's too early to say all this, and most of the people that Li Xie can use around him now have been scattered by him. There are those who go to the people to inquire about the news, and there are also those who are sent to buy food.
All in all, there is not a single person around him who can be used now. Of course, the people who can be used here do not include Su Ci and Huang Yu, they may be able to help in handling things, but in those places where criminal evidence is collected, they really can't interfere.
So Li Xie is also waiting now, and after this famine is over, he can pull out. When that time comes, maybe the forces in this Luo Tianfu will really come to a big reshuffle.
Li Xie and Cao Ying left the library crookedly, but they did not return to King Yi's mansion. Instead, I found a random teahouse, ordered some food and drink, listened to the storytelling for a while, and then walked around the market until the market was closed, and then went home.
The next day, because of the reason that they didn't have to go to the morning court, Li Xie and Cao Ying got up until lunch, and after having lunch with the big guy, Li Xie didn't say to go to the library to have a look, let alone go to the dock outside Xicheng to have a look.
Instead, he and Cao Ying lived a two-person world in the back garden of the palace. Li Xie has never been a toiler, and he thinks that what others can accomplish will definitely be left to others to do.
And once he leaves things to others to do, he never doubts whether he will finish it, whether he can finish it or something. That is fully enough to employ people without suspicion, and suspects do not need to be used to the extreme.
Li Xie handed over the matter of writing the history book to the three old men, and he felt that the three old men could definitely do it very well, so there was no need for him to do it. There is no reason to meddle, since this is the case, then there is no need to go.
As for the first batch of grain that will arrive outside the Xicheng Wharf today, he thinks that Liu Bao, the household servant, will dispose of them well, so Li Xie feels that he will go, that is, one more person to watch, and it will have no effect, since this is the case, then there is no need to go.
In fact, it was exactly as he envisioned. Those families, because of the news that the children of those families went back to report yesterday, all paid attention to the history books at this time.
Although there is no specific process for how to make it into this book, there is no specific process. But the approximate circle is already there. As Li Xie said at the beginning, the reputation that circulated among the people.
Since this is the case, then these families will not dare to take this risk to attack this batch of grain, because if someone pokes this matter out, it will be a matter that will be left for thousands of years.
In normal times, it's nothing, and they can slowly save their reputation. But at this juncture, they did not dare to take such a risk. Therefore, they can only turn a blind eye to the grain matter, and dare not interfere more.
Liu Bao had already planned to work hard with those people head-on, and even had plans to ruin his family, but from the time he began to take over this batch of grain to the time he divided it. There really wasn't any mistakes, and it was so smooth that he thought he was dreaming at this time.
How many years!
Since Li Zhanji came to the throne, he and the family began to fight, and the court began to do small things and big things from time to time, and Liu Bao has been on the throne for nearly ten years now, and there has never been a time when things have been done so smoothly.
Although he is now the boss of the household, there are three or four thorns under his hands, who are members of the family. These people will stand up against it from time to time, and when Liu Bao is doing things, they will make some moves from time to time.
But this time, it seems to be unexpectedly smooth, after counting and assigning, everyone cooperated very well.
There has not been a situation where one person is in charge of a region and everyone quarrels over food, as is the case as usual. These people seem to have chosen to shut up at this time and choose to be obedient.
Although Liu Bao was very puzzled about why this situation occurred, he was still very happy that things were going smoothly.
In this way, it was almost three days and a large shipload of grain, and Liu Bao successively distributed the food that was distributed, and the work was all going well, and the form was very good.
And what about Lee Seop?
Anyway, he hasn't seen him for a while. Even in the morning pilgrimage once every three days, he was absent twice after the first morning pilgrimage.
Li Xie used the matter of writing history books to attract the attention of all the families, and of course it also reached Li Zhanji's ears. So I didn't say anything about Li Xie's two absences from the early dynasty.
didn't even send anyone to say anything, because Li Zhanji knew that his son was still in his parents' house. That's not the point of coming back at all.
Yes, Li Xie is now at the Cao family, and according to custom, it is a seven-day return. But after returning to the door, staying for a few days is not said in customs.
Cao Ying felt that there were many people in Yiwangfu, and there were a lot of things waiting to be done by herself, so she didn't have the idea of going back at all. Li Xie also understands that he is a housekeeper who is really not a good stubble.
Li Xie's actions to him still felt like a tiger biting a hedgehog, and he couldn't bite it. Cao Ying was even more annoyed by this, and it was natural that she didn't want to go back.
Li Xie can also help her, because Li Xie knows that Cao Ying is going back after all, and now if she wants to live here for a few more days, she is just playing petty, and there is no need to worry about it and divorce at all.
So Li Xie simply stayed at his mother's house for a few more days. Besides, life in Caofu is not boring, and it can even be said to be very good.
When you have nothing to do, talk to your father-in-law, exchange feelings, and by the way, find out what happened to your daughter-in-law many years ago. Not to mention, Li Xie really found a lot of fun in it. Cao Ying, who now looks heroic and shrewd and capable, would have thought that she was a puffed bag when she was a child.
To be able to have such a situation now, the beginning of change turned out to be the awakening of her seven or eight years old.
Since I knew that my daughter-in-law had such a big contrast before and after. Li Xie was even more happy to inquire about Cao Ying's childhood.
Cao Ying followed Li Xie to chat with her father a few times, and when she knew that the topic they were talking about turned out to be like this, she scolded Li Xie shyly a few times, seeing that he had no intention of repenting.
Cao Ying simply came out of sight and no longer paid attention to the bad taste of these two men. Instead, he began to talk to his mother in private.
Although she no longer pays attention to these two old men, Cao Ying still feels sweet in her heart for Li Xieken to be so happy to understand the things of her childhood.
Sweethearts are willing to spend time and energy to understand their entire life and growth process. Doesn't this mean that the sweetheart has his own existence in his heart, and it is very heavy?
So Cao Ying, although she is shy, is also happy to see it.
lived in Cao's house for four or five days, until Cao's mother ordered to drive people out, and Cao Ying and Li Xie returned to Yiwang's mansion.
returned to this palace, so one thing I had to face was that the housekeeper had to be replaced.
Or all the people in the palace know that the identity background of the housekeeper in front of him is very unusual.
Li Xie originally thought that he was the most, that is, which lackey of the family, but after so many days of observation and investigation, Li Xie felt that things did not seem to be like this.
Although his housekeeper has a lot of walks with the family, and should have made a lot of money from them, he doesn't seem to be their person.
Cao Ying took over the affairs of the palace, although he had not managed a palace, but he had managed a Cao family, Cao Ying knew that this juncture in front of him could not move this housekeeper for the time being. But just because she can't move doesn't mean she can't find another person.
It happened that when Li Xie was in Xicheng Yamen, there was a person in charge of the house-Wang Jiao.
And when I was in Xicheng Yamen, I took care of it up and down quite well. This person was found directly from the Sin Slave Workshop, and he is a person who can be trusted.
And the most important thing is that she is still a woman, so Cao Ying can completely say that this is her own person, her own person she brought over.
Although you have a steward in this palace, but now that I am married, I am asked to manage this palace, so it makes sense for me to use my own people.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, although you can't be kicked out directly, it is still possible for two housekeepers to coexist.
So King Yi's Mansion has had two housekeepers since Cao Ying came back. Then the Yiwang Mansion will be even more chaotic, but fortunately, in this troubled era, it will target the entire palace.
For Su Ci, Huang Yu, and the people who served around Linghua, they were the ones who returned to the Xicheng Yamen. Although the palace is more chaotic, the surroundings of this group of their own people are much more peaceful.
"His identity still needs to be investigated." On this day, the big guys got together for dinner, Cao Ying looked at Li Xie and said with a serious face.
"Okay, I'll go into the palace tomorrow and ask the old man directly."
