"Patriarch, that's what I said, but this involves a lot of money and food, and I can't let the Li family in Langzhou give so much money for nothing because I don't know how many generations have passed because of this, right?

Although our family has a big business, we are not such a loser, as the patriarch, we should consider the whole clan. ”

A white-haired old man with a cane said, apparently not backing down on money and food just because Li Ye was their elder.

"Third uncle, what you said is right, but this matter is also an opportunity for our Langzhou Li family. The second child is now appointed by King Shou as the assassin of Bazhou, which gives us hope for the revitalization of the Li family in Langzhou, and this money is nothing to the future of the second child.

I also went to understand this young Shouwang, who has the potential to achieve great things. And this person has clear grievances, and he is more nostalgic, now is the time when King Shou needs support, if we stand on King Shou's side at this time, it can be said to be a good thing for the second child and the entire family. ”

The old man in front of him is Li Houchen's third uncle, and he is also the older existence in the current Li family of Langzhou, and his prestige in the clan is not small. Even if the current patriarch is Li Houchen, he has to consider the third uncle's views in the decision-making of family affairs.

So in front of this third uncle, he didn't dare to be presumptuous, but explained in a calm tone.

"Li Yi is your second brother, in order to help him, you naturally spare no effort, but you can't do it for the benefit of the family, so even if we agree, the clansmen below will oppose it." The other, slightly older man mocked mercilessly.

Li Houchen's face was a little displeased, he didn't give any face at all.

Of course, the other party also has this confidence, who called the other party is now the person in charge of the clan of ethnology, and has also been admitted to the Jinshi many times, but he has not been examined, who knows that Li Yi was admitted, and was also appointed by Li Ye as the Bazhou Thorn History, can it be a taste in his heart?

"This is a letter sent back by the second child, you can take a look, and then say that you don't support this business tax."

As soon as Li Houchen finished speaking, a person next to him picked up a letter from the small table in his hand and handed it to several clansmen sitting below, first to the third uncle.

The third uncle took the letter curiously, and then read it patiently.

Li Houchen held the teacup, tasted the tea in the cup with a leisurely look, and then looked at the clansmen with different expressions.

After the third uncle read the letter, he was about to ask, Li Houchen said with a smile, "Third uncle, let the others read it!" ”

The third uncle could only hold back the doubts in his heart and handed the letter to the clansmen next to him, and then everyone reacted the same as the third uncle, a little puzzled.

When the last person read it, the third uncle couldn't help but ask, "Patriarch, what the second boy said in the letter is true?" ”

Li Houchen smiled slightly, "Third uncle, don't you know the second one?" Naturally, he will not deceive us and others. This time the commercial tax, Shouwang's determination is very great, Xingyuanfu, Yangzhou, Lizhou has been implemented, Langzhou as the remaining states, the most developed commercial state, if the commercial tax is implemented, the amount of commercial tax levied is not a decimal, so Shouwang must attach great importance to Langzhou.

So what the second child said should not be wrong.

King Shou has now entered the Xingyuan Mansion, the soldiers are strong, and the troops from Lizhou came to Langzhou, who dares to block the implementation of commercial taxes at this time is tantamount to asking for a dead end. Although we are of the same clan as King Shou, as you said, there are many rooms apart, and it is not impossible to be ruthless.

At this time, we can't gamble with the lives of our people! ”

Speaking of this, Li Houchen looked around for a week and found that everyone's expressions were a little solemn. At this time, they really didn't dare to gamble, in case King Shou really suppressed it by force, their families would not have any power to fight back at all.

Now is the troubled times, after Huang Chao broke through Chang'an, the clan has died I don't know how much, they are no longer a small family of the royal family, even if they are wiped out, how many people will care.

"How can you convince the clansmen with such money for nothing?" The man in charge of ethnography was not reconciled.

"So we have to come to an agreement, and then the head of each house is responsible for explaining it to the people."

"What about Chen? The Chen family is very dissatisfied with the commercial tax, and has united many families to rebel against the commercial tax, if we choose to support the commercial tax, it is very likely to be isolated by other families in Langzhou. ”

"They're looking for death, just let them go. However, the third uncle is also right, we can't be the first to stand up and support this matter, so we will become the first birds. Let the Chen family make trouble first, let them be the first birds, let's sit and watch the changes, and don't rush to express our position.

If the Chen family is suppressed, it will not be too late for us to take a stand. ”

Li Houchen thought for a while, and then made a decision that was acceptable to the clansmen present, which can also be said to be a very old-fashioned decision. In this way, no matter what the result is, the Li clan can be removed from this incident, and the entire clan will not suffer because of the wrong choice.

The Li family of Langzhou has been able to stand in Langzhou for many years, not because of the royal status, but because they have always kept a low profile and did not stand in line casually. Although Li Houchen wanted to stand in line now, for the sake of his clansmen, he did not choose to make a rash decision, but chose a more secure one.

Compared with the Li family's steady decision-making, the Chen family's side is full of emotions. Most of the Li family's industries are on land, and although there are some shops, they are far less than Chen's, so Chen's reaction to commercial taxes is even more intense.

Moreover, the Chen family also knew that it was easy to be isolated by relying on their own family, so they contacted many families and merchants who were also dissatisfied with the commercial tax to fight against the commercial tax together.

The Chen family also knew that King Shou controlled the army in Langzhou, but there were only 1,500 troops in Langzhou, and the families of these families combined had thousands of people, so the Chen family did not pay attention to the garrison of 1,500 people.

。。。。。。

"Zhao Fang, this time the business tax, I'm afraid the implementation will be very unsmooth. Didn't you see that the Chen family took the lead in opposition, which made Yang embarrassed at that time.

Yang was worried that the Chen family might take the lead in making trouble, but he didn't know if Zhao Fang's side could ensure the loyalty of the army under his command, so as not to make mistakes and affect King Shou's plan at that time. ”

Zhao Xiong patted his chest and promised, "Yang Tingshi rest assured, the Langzhou garrison will definitely ensure the implementation of commercial taxes, if someone is not long-sighted and affects the plan of King Shou, Zhao will definitely make him regret coming to this world."

Moreover, General Liu has already sent cavalry, which will arrive tomorrow, and I believe that he can suppress those young people. ”

"It's better to be careful, Yang has been a little restless these few times." Yang Hanzhou said with some concern.

Thinking of the Chen family's reaction, Yang Hanzhou felt a little bottomless in his heart, mainly because the Chen family has too much influence in Langzhou, and it also has a lot of influence in Pengzhou and Guozhou, if it really makes trouble, it is not just a matter of Langzhou.

With the expansion of the Tiance Army, the garrison of Langzhou was seriously weakened, and even if a team of cavalry was transferred, it was really difficult to say whether it could suppress the ambitious people in the Chen clan.

Sorry, yesterday my good friend got married, went to help for a day, and only came home today. And then there are a lot of things at home, so I can only write something at night. Reunion tomorrow, I can't guarantee this, if I can, see if I can spare a yard.
