Sun Chengyi said with a smile, "Our son-in-law has a lot of ideas, and many new words in Chang'an City were created by him, such as planning, blueprint, monopoly, prospects, situation, authorization, etc., doesn't it sound fresh?" ”

Yu Ran also smiled and said, "What's more! What else is the general direction, the premise, the market wholesale, now the people around him are talking like this, and those who are not familiar with him are difficult to adapt to if they don't listen to the interpretation. ”

"The suppression from the remnants of the Guanlong Group, this time I also ask the text to help me get through the difficulties, otherwise once the breakthrough is opened, the officialdom of the Sun family will be unpredictable!" Cui Cheng's words were heartfelt.

"A large number of Guanlong barbarian group affiliates are still trying to make a comeback, but they didn't expect that now it is different from the past, not only is it rare for the people to be rich and stable, and it is unbearable to fight again, but the nature of our Datang barbarians has also undergone fundamental changes! The Han nation was slaughtered and ravaged, and a part of the Han people crossed to the south, preserving the lifeline from being cut off, and now it has become an unstoppable trend! Even in the north, inspired by the advanced culture of the Han nation, there is hope for comprehensive rejuvenation, and the consciousness of barbarism in power has long been ingrained in their hearts, and they are eager to lead the Tang Dynasty out of the barbarian era and become an orthodox Han dynasty, and there is no longer any doubt! Li Zhi has a sense of foresight, and he can talk about the current situation in every sentence.

"But why is there a shadow of the imperial court in several events this time?"

"Unlike the Guanlong barbarians, who still stubbornly adhere to the Guanzhong-based policy, without the support of the orthodox culture of the Han people in southern China, no matter how strong the Tang Dynasty is, it will only be temporary, otherwise, it will always be partial to the north and will not have greater development. Seeing this, the people in power also realized the hidden danger of the remnants of the Guanlong barbarians, of course, the Han people represent the Shandong clan, and they are also seen by them, the real gate valve in the northern Han nationality is the Shandong Gaomen represented by Cui, Zheng, Lu, and Wang, and their long-term prominence and prosperity are not just the family, but the natural advantages accumulated by the lofty cultural cultivation. Therefore, the two hidden dangers were originally not the same, but they were consciously and skillfully borrowed, the purpose was to make the battle between the two more and more intense, and take the opportunity to involve the royal family surnamed Li, which not only hit the two huge hidden dangers, but also damaged the core strength of the royal family surnamed Li! This move of killing three birds with one stone is that Luoyang is secretly leading, otherwise why did the royal family surnamed Li make a timely move this time and did not cause a strong counterattack by the Guanlong barbarian group? ”

"You mean the Guanlong barbarians have scruples?"

"It's not just as simple as scruples, the royal family surnamed Li came to the rescue of the forces under the Shandong Gaomen, which means that the current mainstream forces of the Tang Dynasty still attach importance to concluding friendship with them, the foundation of the Shandong clan has not been harmed, and the royal family surnamed Li is biased, how do you say that the Guanlong barbarian group dares to face the two forces? In the same way, the people who are instigated behind the scenes, no matter how strong the strength of Luoyang is, they dare not clash head-on with the royal family surnamed Li, because there are still royal forces surnamed Li in Luoyang, and the things inherited in the blood sometimes outweigh the temptation of interests. At present, the foundation of the Empress Wu is not stable, and it may take a few more years before she can really cover the sky with one hand, even if the queen really succeeds in usurping the throne, it must be implemented step by step in the name of the royal family surnamed Li, so in my opinion, it is inevitable that this huge conspiracy will be destroyed! ”

"So, Chang'an City has no intention of eliminating or reducing the influence of the Shandong clan?"

"How is that possible, once they realize that there is a serious threat and are willing to go to war, it is still the first choice to fight hard! But this problem was seen by the Zhuan Sun family as early as decades ago, so there will be a retreat of the Zhusun family to the East Mountains, otherwise at that time, the ancestor of the Zhuan Sun family has already become the prime minister of the dynasty, and his mind is a little compromised, and he will exchange some foreign forces of the Shandong clan, and now it is not difficult to move into the Ten Princes' Mansion! But the Zhuan Sun family did not do this, but took the initiative to give up a good future, only to repay the Shandong clan foundation is still stable for decades, but this compromise effect will change with the fall of the current saint, this conspiracy is a clear omen! ”

Lu Ting Lu Shaoyi, a descendant of the Lu clan in Taiyuan, has been silently listening to Li Zhi's thorough analysis, and he can no longer hold his breath when he hears this: "In Mr. Li's opinion, once Luoyang succeeds, won't our Shandong clan become her sword?" ”

Li Zhi smiled and shook his head, "On the contrary, at that time, the Empress Wu transformed into the royal family mentality surnamed Li at this time, the first thing that was eager to look forward to the rest of the sword warrior was the rest of the royal family at that time, and directly fought with the Shandong clan, the situation was not stable, for her hidden premise, the rest of the royal family waited for the opportunity to fight back for another greater embellishment, at that time, relative to the two, she would first focus on the rest of the royal family to win over or clear, and the Shandong clan would be in a safe position for the time being, don't forget that the remnants of the Guanlong barbarian clan still existed at that time!" ”

"Even so, it is only temporary, and the future crisis of our Shandong clan will come sooner or later!" Lu Ting has a strong sense of distress.

"If it drags on for a few more years, the situation will no longer be up to her, then her grandson surnamed Li will really grow up, and this daughter is already old, do you think she will hand over the world to the Wu family in the future, or will she leave it to her grandchildren?"

"Logically speaking, of course, it is most reasonable for one's own grandchildren, but the Wu family will also have deep roots before that stage, and I am afraid that there will be huge obstacles to the smooth succession of the emperor and grandson surnamed Li!"

"This reality cannot be denied, but do not forget who has always been qualified to live in the palace! Historically, the killing of weapons has started in the palace, and the traitors have been in the elbows and armpits, if you want to regain the country at the lowest cost, I am afraid that someone is more anxious than us to borrow this point! It is said that it is difficult to prevent thieves, but in the near future, if all my speculations become true, the inner courtyard of the palace will become the key to who is a thief, and they have their own deliberate interpretations in their hearts, which will inevitably become the final turning point in history, if you don't believe it, let's wait and see! ”

"But in the end it's just wishful thinking, and there is still something that needs to be done before the results come. The political situation and the situation are changing rapidly, and how to effectively defend at least ten years later is always the core issue of our side! Cui Cheng couldn't help but speak.

"How else can you defend against it? Now the entire Shandong territory has long been firmly controlled by us, and the power is expanding outward, only as some time ago, it is inevitable to be suppressed, and then it is a strong development, once the imperial court attaches importance to it, a sentence can make the previous efforts in vain, after all, Shandong is not our traditional power base! ”

"So what?"

"Quite simply, developing the economy and expanding business power is the most effective way to protect yourself! Think about it, once we are suppressed, the economic collapse of a certain industry is what the imperial court is willing to see? For example, my current situation, once I am provoked, I will take the core process of rice paper to hide, at least it will cause no excellent rice paper to be available in the future, those who want to put me to death, will they consider this kind of situation? ”

"That's your personal ability, the Shandong clan doesn't have such a unique advantage to take advantage of!"

"How could it not be? If the first-class brocade weaving of our Sun family is lost, there will be no more high-end goods and clothes in the inner courtyard of the palace? Again, this advantage can be redeveloped, just like the Taiyuan Lu family, the only Shandong clan outside the hometown to sit firmly entrenched in the family, Shanxi ground but the entire Tang Dynasty is second to none underground coal, if the coal industry in the future becomes a pivotal position in Shanxi's economy, and then form a national coal monopoly situation, then what position will your Lu family occupy? Coal is so important, this is where the Lu family's unique advantage lies, in other words, I will do nothing, and I must take this matter as the main development direction! ”

Lu Ting involuntarily stood up in his seat, "What Mr. Li said is not visible, but the specific exploration will not only cost a lot of astronomical silver, but also the coal that is concerned about the underground may not actually exist, and the location is not accurate, but it will hurt the muscles and bones!" ”

"The earliest record of coal in Shanxi is clearly recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and at the same time as the exploration of the land of words, it is necessary to intervene strongly in the coal resources that have been discovered, and then increase efforts to further develop on this basis. Wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort to support future coal source detection with early profits? And even I, a descendant boy, have read "The Biography of Wang Shao in the Northern History", which records the widespread use of coal to cook rice near Taiyuan, "Go out of the city for three or four miles to the west, to the stone mountain called Jinshan, there is coal everywhere, people from near and far all the states, as much as they want, cook, there is a fire." 'The Lu family, as the head snake of Taiyuan, doesn't know where Jinshan is? Even if Jinshan is hollowed out from now on, I am afraid that the coal source has already been explored and it is enough to supply, right? ”

"But there is a local big family in Jinshan that has long been occupied?"

"Did they ever want to develop it aggressively? Or are you always happy to stay in a corner and keep your ways? ”

"I'm afraid it's more of the latter!"

"What's the relationship between the two families? is a rival, so it is necessary to intervene strongly, and do not rule out the heart of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots! If the relationship is good, try to break their traditional conformist concept from the inside, and a large amount of money will be involved, or shareholding, or buying out some of it, depending on the actual situation! ”

"The relationship is the same as water and fire, and that family has always regarded itself as a local native, and has never taken the power of Taiyuan City into account."

"This is not over, if the Lu family has enough strength, it is best not to attract more families to participate, otherwise it will be difficult to give up the interests in the future! If that family is strong enough, you might as well seek an alliance in Taiyuan City, but there must be an agreement on the distribution of benefits in the future! ”

When Lu Ting heard this, he didn't say what was involved, but frowned and lingered for a long time.

After a long tea time, Lu Ting said to Li Zhi: "Mr. Li, I will go back to Taiyuan tomorrow and seriously discuss this matter with the elders in the family. ”

Needless to ask, Li Zhi has already heard it, at least this person already has a real sense of identity in his heart, and has decided to take his own suggestion.

"If the Lu family is interested in this, I am willing to provide some financial support here, I dare not say more, I can still get it if I have ten thousand taels of silver, and then I will see that I have some shares, if there is a loss, I am willing to do it personally, and it has nothing to do with the Lu family!"

Li Zhi's words shocked Lu Ting a little, ten thousand taels of silver, just say it, that is the annual income of Taiyuan City Government, and this is too big.

"Mr. Li, will it..."

The old ancestor opened his mouth at this time, "Xiao Shaoyi, you don't have to care too much about these ten thousand taels of silver, our son-in-law of the Sun family once earned far more than this amount in one day, and it is indeed nothing in his eyes!" ”

"Poof!" More than one of the guests opened their mouths to squirt tea in their mouths, they really have such earning power, Li Zhi is really terrifying!

Li Zhi shook his head and was happy, "Although what the ancestor said is exaggerated, it is true that ten thousand taels of silver are not in my eyes, so it is okay to borrow it temporarily, and if you have it, give it to me, and if you don't give it, you will never come to the door to ask for it!" ”

It seems to be a joke, Li Zhiyi is also seen by others, he is quite optimistic about the coal resources in Jinshan, and the matter of silver is not showing off his strength, the main purpose is to give the Lu family a reassurance.
