"Chunhua years...... That was when Emperor Taizong was still in his time. Changsun Hong thought for a moment and said.

"That's right, when Emperor Taizong." Changsun Hao squinted, staring at a wall opposite, as if he wanted to see through the wall, see through time and space, and return to the history of more than a hundred years ago: "The two sages of Taizu Taizong, who ruled the Great Song Dynasty and the people's peace, and the cultural and martial arts were brilliant in the world, which was the most powerful year of our dynasty, but I didn't expect that in Shuzhong, which is known as the country of abundance, such a civil unrest swept across Sichuan. ”

"At that time, our grandfather was a general under the tent of the West Road Passing Strategy, and entered Sichuan to quell the rebellion with the prison army Su Han, and saw with his own eyes the chaos and misery in Shu at that time, it was really miserable, the people had no land, people had no food, the weather was in great drought, the officials did not provide disaster relief, the rich enclosed land for private property, the yamen forbidden private and monopolized, tea is not allowed to be sold privately, wine is not allowed to be sold privately, salt is not allowed to be sold privately, even the brocade cloth of Shu is not allowed to be sold privately, grain is more expensive than gold and silver, the huge Shuzhong has become a miserable place for people to eat, and the rebellion of Wang and Li has arisen from this."

"Don't talk about Wang Xiaobo, just talk about Li Shun, this person is a smuggler of salt, Wang Xiaobo's wife and brother, when he was the most powerful, he occupied the CD Mansion and became the king of Shuzhong, and later the court mobilized the forbidden army to encircle and suppress, died in the war, and his family members were killed, but there was a distant remnant vein, hidden, and avoided this scourge."

"This remnant vein escaped from Zizhou, tossed and turned, hid in Tibet, and finally fell into the area of Tongchuan Road, multiplied, operated silently, and never mentioned the past to the outside world, and gradually formed a force for more than 100 years."

Hearing this, Eldest Sun Hong's face changed greatly, and he said abruptly: "Could it be that this Li Family Village, is that Li Shun's remaining vein?" ”

The eldest grandson shook his head and said: "No, the remnants of the Li family, rooted in Fushun Prison, over there are salt into the county, salt is used to make money, the ancestors of the Li family are smuggled salt, they are like fish in water there, and they also secretly established a sect, what is it called... What..."

He scratched his head, he couldn't remember, and the eldest grandson Jin added coldly on the side: "It's called the Well God Sect!" ”

"That's right! Ikin Cult! The eldest grandson slammed the table: "That's the name, specifically absorbing salt and salt households into the church, helping everyone with small favors, and everyone feeling their grace and joining their teaching, in Fushun, quite energetic." ”

"Li Xian, is a distant nephew of the Li family, because the Li family is afraid of living in one place, in case the imperial court notices that it will inevitably be a pot, since the landing in Fushun, they have put their children and nephews out of other places, and they have taken root everywhere, Li Xian's family has been in Lijia Village, Shizhao County, for dozens of years, and the locals have long regarded it as a local."

Therefore, Li Xian is in Hezhou, but he can pass through the county and do a lot of private salt business, and behind him, there is such a force secretly supporting. The Li family's private salt business has been in business for a hundred years, deep-rooted and flourishing, and the cangshi, the state government, and the government government all have their people, and under the guise of missionary service, they have recruited many dead soldiers, and their strength should not be underestimated. ”

"Our eldest grandson's family is a guest from outside, I wanted to get a piece of the pie on the edge, find a way to live for the poor households in Lijia Village, and I was extra careful when selling salt, not to touch the interests of the Li family, but I never wanted to be careful, this time I was still noticed by Li Xian, and there was a play that he came to the door today, this is still for my sake, I didn't directly make a big move, kill the door, knock it, let us know the difficulties and retreat, and give up."

Changsun Hao's eyes were gloomy, he sighed heavily, and said to Changsun Hong: "The ins and outs, that's it, you are the only male in my eldest grandson family, no matter how long we can stay in this Li family village, if something happens in the future, you also know who wants to move us." ”

The more Changsun Hong listened, the more frightened he became, and the more he listened, the more he understood, the more and more small Lijia Village actually hid the dragon and crouching tiger, and there was such a god in secret, no wonder the Li family was just a rich man in a remote village, who could afford to invite Xixi and build a mansion, and it turned out that the wealth behind it was so big.

"In that case, Dad, let's not compete with him in the future, taking away people's wealth is tantamount to killing his parents, he has already noticed it, and he will warn him once for the sake of my family's usefulness to him, and next time, he will inevitably kill the killer." The eldest grandson Hong pondered for a long time, and felt that with the current strength of the eldest grandson family, it was impossible to compete with Li Xian, even if the eldest grandson brothers were a hundred enemies, they could not withstand the hundred-year-old private salt lords, these people were all murderers who killed people at any time without blinking.

"Humph! I'm afraid of him! The eldest grandson Jin said angrily: "Our buttocks are not clean, and the fat pig is even more unclean!" In a hurry, we went to the yamen to sue him, and shook out the fact that he was a thief, and saw who died first! ”

Eldest Sun Hao frowned at him, and shouted coldly: "Sue? What to sue? The Li family has done this murderous business for a hundred years, relying on the secret and thoughtful work, the official road of his family's private salt, the salt used, the true and false, there is no way to distinguish between true and false, and no one knows where the warehouse is, and the private salt stack on the surface is the name of others, which has nothing to do with his family, even if it is found, Li Xian can also push it away. Not to mention how many of his family's stubbles are in the yamen, I'm afraid that our heads will move before your pleadings have been handed over to the county case. ”

"So we're leaving this business behind?" The eldest grandson Jin was extremely unconvinced, and slapped the table angrily.

"What else?" The eldest grandson said angrily: "Do you have to take the lives of our family and the lives of those poor people outside to fight him?" ”

The eldest grandson froze down for a moment, shrunk his legs, squatted on the stool and bowed his head and stopped talking, snorting heavily, obviously aggrieved.

Turning his head, Changsun Hao looked at Changsun Hong, and said: "Erlang is right, mortals value profits, we have moved the Li family's capital, he will move us regardless of everything, and these goods will be sold this year, whether we can do it next year or not, let's see." ”

The three of them fell silent again, there was silence inside and outside the house, the sound of Zhang's "tuk tuk" chopping vegetables in the stove room in the distance was faintly audible, Changsun Hao poured himself a bowl of tea, and when he lifted it, he found that there was only half a bowl left in the teapot, and he didn't care, he took it up and drank it slowly.

The eldest grandson Hong looked at the eldest grandson brother who was squatting and sulking, and the eldest grandson who was sitting and drinking stuffy tea, hesitated for a long time, and finally suppressed the idea of asking them to take the money, opened his mouth gently, and asked, "That ...... Dad, this time we sold salt, and our family didn't leave any money? ”

"I left a few dozen texts, just enough to live." The eldest grandson Hao sipped the tea and said in a sullen voice: "The rest are all divided, that's all, the poor households who followed are still a little insufficient, the taxes are so heavy, it's difficult!" ”

The last two words, he said with a shake of his head.

When Changsun Hong heard this, he lowered his eyebrows and shook his head, this is good, there is no money at home, and the rice mill is so expensive, one is definitely not enough, it is too slow to make some money like that.

How is it good, a penny is stumped by a hero!
