Chapter 449 The Bei Family Problem

Li Zhi waved his hand to stop Pei Zheng's words of self-defense, "It's okay to cooperate with me, but the Bei family who gave this idea can be described as stupid to the extreme, and they don't know my style of doing things, so how can I get my trust in exchange?" Just like you just mentioned the matter of the Bei family's shipping, some words are good to say in person, and the sincerity of cooperation is better than using my heart in my heart! I think you should go back to the head of the Bei family to discuss it again, there is no dislike between you and me, but I am deeply disgusted by the person of your Bei family who brought up such an idea, and since the head of the Bei family can make the family business so huge, why would he easily accept such a stupid way? I'm wondering at the moment, whether this idea is your personal behavior, or if you have been bewitched by someone in the Bei family. ”

At this time, Bei Zheng, in addition to being frightened, felt a chill all over his body, for no other reason, the source of his move was from the secret instruction of the second uncle of the Pei family.

At first, he didn't care, thinking that it was the unification decision of the Bei family, but at this moment, it was exposed by Li Yiyu, which made him suddenly realize that this behavior was not the second uncle's private plan, but he concealed what his grandfather's purpose was.

The head of the Pei family, Bei Yunbei, is his own grandfather, and his father will take over the position of head of the family from him in the next year, and the intentions of the second uncle Bei Hanshan are very doubtful.

Although on the surface, his second uncle has not shown much positive attitude towards the position of head of the family, but after Li Zhi's cynicism, Bei Zheng suddenly realized that there was another article in it.

Obviously, if Li Zhi agrees to the intention of cooperation, he will have the intention of getting rid of Li Xiang, but there is still the problem of the attitude of the Lingnan Dao Jiedu envoy Mi Rui Mi Yuanzhong.

Mi Rui knew that Li Xiang's handle existed, why didn't he do it earlier, there would definitely be a deeper plan, once Li Zhi hurriedly made a means of eradication, would it affect all of Mi Rui's plans?

Moreover, there is an abnormal situation, Li Zhiming will come to Ezhou in three or two days, why does he still have to rush to Guangzhou? You must know that Li Zhi is a first-class official, and he holds the Shang Fang sword in his hand, what is the urgent matter, and he can't wait even three or two days?

Perhaps Li Zhi and Mi Rui had already secretly discussed that this was the first step in jointly managing the situation in Guangzhou, so the idea he put forward before would directly affect the suspicion of their original deployment.

Or maybe there is no connection between the two, but there is an entanglement of interests between Mi Rui and Li Xiang, and the purpose of Mi Rui's hurried visit is to cover up something, and his own ideas have changed their plans, which is the most terrifying.

There is also a third possibility, Mi Rui intends to preempt Li Zhi and completely control Guangzhou City, which is an advance arrangement of the final ownership of authority.

No matter any of the above three points, I don't want the Bei family to take the initiative to appear, so it seems that the purpose of my second uncle's move can be vaguely detected.

Because of the three situations, they will cause Mi Rui's dissatisfaction, and more seriously, it may lead to disputes between Li Zhi and him.

In this way, the Bei family, as the initiator, will naturally become the target of public criticism, even if some understanding is finally reached between them, for their own reasons, the father's qualification to inherit the head of the family will be cancelled.

And Bei Zheng received the middleman instructed by his second uncle, but it was just a message from the housekeeper of the Bei family who rushed to Ezhou to deliver it.

The father of the family could not inherit, and Bei Xing became the first person in line to succeed to the throne, which is the gradual realization of Bei Zheng at this moment.

Seeing that Li Zhi beside him was impatient with his face, he couldn't care about his face anymore at this time, and hurriedly whispered all the guesses in his heart.

Li Zhi originally had the intention of wooing him, and when he understood the twists and turns, he sighed solemnly: "As expected, your second uncle is indeed unkind!" As I have just said, I have no opinion of you personally, and I am indeed deeply disgusted by the man who gave this idea, who is deceiving me of my youth, and of his ignorance and subjective assumptions. ”

Then he changed the topic, "I have heard of the Bei family in Guangdong, and I have long had the idea of forming an alliance, but I only have trust in the head of the Bei family. The reason is very simple, no matter the officialdom of the shopping mall, it is full of deceit, power and conspiracy to overturn, to turn each other upside down, to deceive it, these are all the most common methods under the inducement of all big interests. On the premise that I only know about the Bei family, I will never have enough trust in the people under the name of the future collaborator, unless I see it with my own eyes. Think about it, before meeting the head of the Pei family, how stupid it would be to try to influence my future behavior with this? ”

Pei Zheng's expression was still in a state of panic, "It turns out that there are so many exquisiteness in the mall?" Also, do you really have in-depth communication with my Bei family? ”

"Or what do you think?" Li Zhi stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Taiqing, the statement I mentioned to you before is not false, maybe Guangzhou Port will be a key port sooner or later in the future, but for me, only for the sake of Datang shipbuilding, it is completely possible to develop Mingzhou, Hangzhou, and Yangzhou first, after all, Datang's main domestic demand is still concentrated in the Yangtze River Basin, foreign trade, Jiaozhou Bay in the north, Quanzhou in the south, especially Quanzhou, which is currently the largest treaty port on the southeast coast and one of the four major ports in the world. ”

After making enough words to foreshadow, he continued Pei Zheng's second question in depth, "Do you know why the imperial court first set up Guangzhou Port as the first envoy of the city?" It is because the officials there have always used various methods to extort Chinese and foreign merchants and make a lot of money, and there is a common understanding in the Chang'an City court, as long as you can go to Guangzhou as an official, you will not be satisfied when you go back. However, the wealth of the Jingshi Quanmen and the strong participation of the major forces in Chang'an City led to the fact that the port of Guangzhou has not been governed in time. These great families, or people involved in the interests of Guangzhou Port, are all directly related to the royal family surnamed Li, and only I, the person who holds the Shang Fang sword, can really play a role. ”

"There is a problem with the subordinates, the current assassin Shi belonged to the Shaowang family before, and after the Shaowang was demoted, Li Xiang defected to the martial arts."

"Hehe, it is precisely because of this that the people in the royal family of Chang'an City are dissatisfied, otherwise the Holy Lord is far away in Luoyang at this time, why did he decide to come down to Guangzhou so quickly? And some things are far from being as simple as they seem, such as why Lord Mi is not in Ezhou at the moment, so, do things more in the future, since you are currently in the officialdom, you can't consider your Bei family first, because there are more doorways in the officialdom, and it is more insidious, and acting blindly will only bring bad luck to the Bei family. Also, you don't really think that your second uncle is acting stupidly, his purpose is to guide you to do something stupid, in fact, this person has a very good brain, but this time, he obviously doesn't know me well, which is the key reason why his magic tricks are revealed! ”

"I understand the truth inside, I don't know what Mr. Li's instructions are, what should I do."

"You are like this, you will leave for Guangzhou tomorrow, don't talk about anything else, just report the content of the exchange between us today to the head of the family, but don't talk about the whereabouts of Lord Mi and the suspicions of your second uncle first, but secretly reveal it to your father."

Li Zhizhi's words made him understand in a short time, once his grandfather understood the truth, he would have the idea of taking the school examination, and he would inevitably ask the first heir in line for this.

Because of the major omission of the second uncle under his door, he will test the wisdom of the heir as soon as possible, if Bei Zheng's father can put forward his correct understanding, so that the head of the family can rest easy.

It was also at this moment that Pei Zheng understood Li Zhi's good intentions, so the panic in his heart at the moment gradually disappeared, and was replaced by gratitude to Li Zhi.

Being able to let his father and even the entire Bei family avoid a disaster is a deliberate reminder from Li Zhi, how can he not miss Li Zhi's goodness?

And Li Zhi asked him to return to the Bei family in time, and did not force his own will, but handed over the initiative to his grandfather, so it seems that Li Zhi first expressed his sincerity, and how to decide next depends on whether the Bei family is reasonable.

Feeling the other party's grateful eyes, Li Zhi smiled and said: "The city envoy is a special customs yamen, if we wait for the wish to be fulfilled, Guangzhou will have the first customs, and it is also the first customs in the history of the Tang Dynasty." Next, the imperial court will formulate a series of preferential policies for this, and because I can bring the trade of the Arab Empire to Guangzhou, and the relevant trade export of Chang'an City will also go to sea through the port of Guangzhou, the whole Guangzhou will usher in a great development opportunity in the future. I hope you will go back this time, explain the truth in detail, and start a happy cooperation with me with an honest heart! ”
