Chapter 233: Household Gathering (End)

"Humph!"

In the bedroom of the head of the Cui family, the two middle-aged people snorted at each other, and then walked into the bedroom of the head of the family together. On the bed in the bedroom, there was an old man who seemed to be in very poor health and was not breathing well. If nothing else, he won't live long.

"Father, Emperor Li Er, has already ordered someone to be sent to investigate the affairs of our Cui family. Investigate whether we have a hidden population, and then reorganize all these populations into households. How can this be done, our Cui family has a population of tens of thousands, if Li Er is snatched away like this, then I'm afraid we will all lose a lot! The eldest prince said.

And the second son also said: "Father, if we go on like this, the loss will be very heavy, and we will definitely not be able to admit it like this." ”

The eldest son and the second son of the Cui family, they are responsible for managing the family's land and land, and this is also their biggest source of income. And the land needs to be cultivated, and once no one cultivates it, the land is also a wasteland. These populations can bring great benefits to the Cui family, because as long as they pay a small amount of food, they can use these populations to work for themselves for free, so of course they feel that they have earned. If they are re-registered and become ordinary people, then the Cui family will have to pay a greater price to be able to hire people, which is unacceptable to them.

When the angry old man heard this, he suddenly became much more energetic, and then asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Father, all of this was provoked by Chen Fei, who joined the army in Bozhou, we might as well give Chen Fei to ......"

Cui Ergongzi made a gesture to wipe his neck, obviously wanting to kill Chen Fei.

"Confused!" The head of the Cui family said.

The head of the Cui family continued: "Even if you kill this Chen Fei, there will be Zhang Fei, Li Fei, and Wang Fei coming out soon, what's the use of this?" ”

"Father, then we might as well unleash the power of officialdom. Let's give Li Shimin a good look, so that they can't do anything to these people of ours? Cui Dagongzi also said.

"Stupid!" The head of the Cui family immediately said angrily.

At this moment, the head of the Cui family is obviously a figure leading the Cui family, not the old man who is in his last years. And the two Cui Gongzi can only bow their heads, they know that their power position is simply not their father's opponent. After all, his father has been in power for many years, as long as his father does not die for a day, then his father is also the head of the Cui family. Therefore, now that their father scolds them, they don't dare to speak back. After all, in ancient China, filial piety was used to govern the country, and whoever dared not be filial was a great crime.

"Do you think this is the emperor's decision? This is determined by the will of the people of the world. Li Er, this is also in line with the hearts of those people who have been temporarily detained by our Cui family and the clans. They beg to be able to become people with hukou and land again, instead of staying with us as black slaves who can't eat enough and starve to death. This was what they thought in their hearts, and Chen Fei and Li Er just followed their thoughts. The black people of the major villas and manors were already more and more dissatisfied, because they had heard that some of them had been reorganized into common people. Of course, they want to be able to have their own land and live their own lives. This is the general trend of the world, and our Cui family cannot disobey it. ”

Of course, the head of the Cui family understands what these black people want, because these people only seek to take refuge in the Cui family in the troubled times, and now that the world is peaceful, they naturally want to live their own small life. But the Cui family refused to let them go, so they ended up in the current situation. The Cui family in order to protect their vested interests. Naturally, he refused to give up these people, but on the other hand, in order to increase his population and reduce the power of the family, Li Shimin naturally wanted to accept these people under the national household registration.

And this is also in line with the thinking of ordinary people. The same is true of the people who were used as slaves of the black household, and they all want to go back to their old lives. And the Cui family's life of not having enough to eat and starving to death, they don't want to live it. They all want to own their own land, so naturally they will have their hearts flustered. Especially after Chen Fei liberated some people. Even more so. The people's hearts have been fluctuating, and they want to leave, if it weren't for the strict restrictions of the Cui family. I'm afraid they're all going to run away.

"Father, these Diao people, in the troubled times, who protected them from being killed by the military disaster, and who provided them with food to eat so that they could survive? They don't want to repay the favor, and now they are about to pat their butts and leave, which is really unreasonable. Cui Ergongzi said.

But the head of the Cui family said: "Hmph, how can we be kind to them? In the troubled times of the year, it was not that we provoked it ourselves, if it wasn't for our support for the rebellion of those princes, how could there be troubled times? And even though we took in the Pegasus, we also made them slaves for many years, isn't that a return for gratitude? If the world is peaceful now, and they are trapped in our Cui family, they will definitely hate us. ”

"Instead of staying and letting them hate us, let's just let them go! If we don't let them go for the sake of these interests, then Li Shimin will be qualified to do something to us. Our Cui family has accumulated countless good reputations among the people for hundreds of years, which makes our popularity enough to compete with the royal family. If we damage our family's reputation this time for the sake of these petty profits, it will be a huge loss. Therefore, let these people go. Then, Cheng Yi, who gave ten yuan of money, can be regarded as our Cui family's reward for their work for our Cui family over the years. The head of the Cui family said.

"Not only do you want to release them, but also give each of them ten yuan?"

Of course, these two sons of the Cui family can't accept it, because if each person has ten yuan, then tens of thousands of people are hundreds of thousands of yuan, which is almost equal to the financial income of a large county for a year, even if the Cui family takes it out, it is very painful. And these hundreds of thousands of yuan can attract more than 100 family members for the eldest son and the second son of the Cui family to support themselves, which makes them all feel like they are in the middle of the water.

"Do you hear that? This is my command, and you must do it. The head of the Cui family said.

"Yes, Father!" The two hurriedly replied.

The head of the Cui family sighed and said, "How did I give birth to two sons with rat eyes? It's a pity that I can't live for a few years, maybe I won't live until the second half of next year, but it's a pity that if the position of the head of the family falls into the hands of these two short-sighted guys, the foundation of the Cui family will ......"
