It is really difficult for Changsun Chong to understand Li Chengqian's theory, why can a steam engine be made into multiple cylinders by adding a crankshaft? What the hell is a crankshaft? The more the doubtful eldest grandson Dashao listened, the more confused he became, and finally simply broke the jar and broke it: "Gao Ming, don't tell me, I'll let my craftsmen come over when you go back, if you have anything to arrange, tell them directly." ”

What can Li Chengqian say, if this kind of thing were not for the camshaft of a car engine that he had seen in later generations, it would be difficult to understand it just by imagining, let alone the eldest grandson Chong, who was an ancient person.

In desperation, he could only nod: "Okay, go back and wait for you to go back and let Liu Min come over, and you don't have to worry about other things." ”

"yes, I see." The eldest grandson Chong quickly agreed, as if he was afraid that Li Chengqian would regret it.

Wang Xuance and the others saw that the matter of Changsun Chong had been dealt with, and Li Chengqian had no other instructions, so he asked: "Your Highness, what other things need to be arranged for calling me over this time?" ”

"I came to you this time mainly to discuss our relationship with the family." Li Chengqian pulled his thoughts back to the topic from the steam engine, paused and said: "Presumably, you can also know what happened some time ago through your own channels, so let's talk about what you think." ”

Wang Xuance, Ma Zhou, and Li Jingxuan are all from poor families, and they don't have a good impression of the family.

So Li Chengqian really wanted to hear what they thought of the mistakes they made some time ago, after all, the old man's reminder was out of the consideration of a superior person, and he didn't know how the people below thought about it, so it was necessary to inquire.

"Your Highness, the minister has a word, I have been holding it in my heart and not vomiting unpleasantly, but I will ask Your Highness to forgive the minister for the crime of disrespect in a while." Ma Zhou is the oldest, and after drinking, he has become much more courageous, and some things that he usually dare not say are quite like wanting to talk under the influence of alcohol at this time.

"Old Ma, when have you ever seen a sinner in this palace?" Li Chengqian originally planned to drag a few sentences, but after saying half of it, he found that almost everyone looked at him so strangely, and finally had to give up the idea of dragging the text, and said helplessly: "You have it, forgive you for not being guilty, say it." ”

"Your Highness, in fact, the way to deal with the family's problems is very simple, it all depends on what you think of your current position."

If you think that the position of the prince does not matter, it is dispensable, then you are barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, mobilize the army to wipe out all the families, kill a piece of armor and leave no armor, and then our monarchs and ministers will send Lingnan together and go to the mountains to be monkeys together. ”

"And if it's the other way around, then the best thing to do is to slowly dismantle them by dividing and disintegrating. His Royal Highness has a lot of resources in his hands, and he also has a lot of connections, and on the whole, he is not weaker than any of the five families, in this case, why not make good use of what he has in his hands to divide them? ”

Ma Zhou was in Chang'an, so he naturally heard of the conflict between Li Chengqian and the family some time ago, according to his heart, Li Chengqian should have made a decision at that time, swept away all the old mansions of the family, and destroyed these families with the position of prince.

At that time, for the sake of Li Chengqian's face in solving a big problem for himself, Lao Li will inevitably be too harsh on him, and even if he is assigned, it is estimated that a large number of people will be arranged to accompany and escort him, and it is even likely to be no different from the current situation.

Of course, this is just a very unreliable idea of Ma Zhou, as a grassroots, he has only been in the court for a short time after all, and he has not figured out what kind of behemoth the family is.

However, compared with the first method, although his second suggestion is somewhat general, it still has some merit, and in Li Chengqian's opinion, it is also a good idea, and it also coincides with his ideas.

But obviously, Changsun Chong did not support Ma Zhou's point of view, and after listening to it, he retorted: "The family is not so easy to deal with, if this is the case, Your Majesty has more resources than Gao Ming, and it is not better for Your Majesty to implement the method of division?" ”

"What then? This can't work, that can't work, is it just to let the family control a lot of resources......" After Ma Zhou was refuted by the eldest grandson, he was a little unhappy, and the temper of the cultural person who could not bend came up again.

"Old Ma, listen to me." Li Chengqian saw that they seemed to be arguing, and hurriedly stopped it, and waited until the two of them sat down before he said slowly: "What do you think of the way to exchange land?" ”

"Land exchange? What is that? Li Jingxuan asked a little uncertainly.

"I plan to use double the land in Liaodong to exchange the land in Guanzhong, do you think the family will take the bait?" After Li Chengqian glanced at everyone, he said slowly under the puzzled gaze of several people.

"This ......" Changsun Chong and the others were all stunned, they had never heard of this kind of policy, and they couldn't make a judgment for a while.

And in fact, it's not just them, even those old foxes in Chang'an City who suddenly heard about this kind of thing, they lost their judgment in an instant.

Datang is a farmer-based country, land is more important than life in the eyes of everyone, if the one-to-two replacement is placed on the people, it is naturally willing.

But if it is put on the family, this matter is not so certain.

From the already reached people, even those old guys in the court, if they changed their fiefdom in the clan to a place as far away as Liaodong, even if it was twice as much, it would be difficult for them to make a decision immediately.

After a long time, it was Ma Zhou who was the first to speak, but this time the expression on his face was completely a bitter smile: "Your Highness, this method of yours is really beyond the minister's comprehension, and the minister can't answer." ”

"Yes, Gao Ming, this is a big event, even if the emperor's uncle is afraid that it will be difficult to make a judgment for a while." Eldest Sun Chong also smiled wryly.

As a gentleman, the eldest grandson is good at the current world newspaper, and he pursues the principle that I will fight whoever provokes me, like this kind of territory involving the entire Liaodong, half of Goguryeo, it really makes him unable to make a choice.

As for Wang Xuance, Li Jingxuan and others, they spread their hands and made a helpless move, obviously telling Li Chengqian with practical actions that they couldn't judge.

"Alas!" Li Chengqian was not surprised to receive such an answer, because even he himself had no way to make an accurate judgment.
