The new patriarch Liu Desheng?

Liu Yuanleng paused, a smile appeared on his lips, it seems that his strategy has worked, that Liu Dekui has betrayed his relatives under heavy pressure, and under the impetus of his own interests, the Jintian Liu family quickly pushed the elder Liu Desheng to the position, relative to Liu Dekui, Liu Desheng is a good man, selfish, kind-hearted, although the prestige is not as high as Liu Dekui, but it can be cultivated slowly.

In fact, in the carriage, when he heard that someone was against Liu Dekui, Liu Yuan had already guessed this ending, and from the moment the disaster led to the east, Liu Yuan was not ready to make him feel better.

Liu Yuan nodded and stepped out of the carriage with a triumphant smile.

"Liu Desheng, the new patriarch of the Jintian Liu clan, meets the general." As soon as he saw Liu Yuan come out, Liu Desheng immediately saluted Liu Yuan respectfully.

"Please, don't be polite" Liu Yuan asked knowingly: "Isn't that patriarch Liu Dekui?" Why did you change it in a blink of an eye? ”

Liu Desheng hurriedly said: "The position of the patriarch is elected by the public, Liu Dekui is short-sighted, light and small, for his own selfish interests, regardless of the interests of the clan, he is no longer suitable to take on the position of patriarch, the small is not talented, the relatives and friends in the Shengmeng clan love him, and temporarily act as the patriarch." ”

In the final analysis, he has to thank Liu Yuan for his ascension, if it weren't for Liu Yuan's indirect help, the position of patriarch would definitely not fall on his head, between the words, Liu Desheng was a little grateful, for him, this was an opportunity, and in fact, he longed for the position of patriarch for a long time.

"This is your Jintian Liu family's business, it has nothing to do with Liu" Liu Yuan waved his hand and said: "Now Ben will ask you, can you represent the Jintian Liu family?" ”

This time, there was no need for Liu Yuan to ask questions, Liu Dekui said very consciously: "If you go back to the general, the little one is now the patriarch, and he can represent the opinion of the Jintian Liu family." Welcome the general back to the province to sweep the tomb, the ancestral hall and the cemetery, the general can enter and exit freely, on the public, the general is a closed family, on private, the general is the son of man, it is a matter of course to worship the ancestors, before the conversation, the villain has sent someone to put the general's deceased father's spiritual position. Please go to the main hall from the side hall to enjoy the incense, as for Liu Ji's, the spirit card was not prepared, and after discussion, it was decided to add it to the main hall. Now it's up to the carpenter to make it. ”

The deceased mother's original surname was Ji, and after entering the Liu family. It became Liu Ji's.

Liu Desheng finished speaking. After hesitating for a moment, he added: "Jintian Liu, I'm sorry general, but that is the evil done by Jin Dekui, and many people are dissatisfied and disagree, but they are forced by his obscenity." Don't dare to be angry but don't dare to speak, and besides, it's better to have more than one thing, not everyone has an opinion about the general, and they don't dare to ask the general for forgiveness. But please the general for the sake of that period of incense, can serve the father and the old folks, the door of the Jintian Liu family will always be open to the general, as long as the general returns to the ancestors and recognizes the ancestors, no one is welcome. ”

This is also the greatest sincerity that Jintian Liu can show.

"Yes, Ben will be able to feel your sincerity." Liu Yuan nodded, expressing satisfaction.

Liu Desheng said reasonably, what the ancients held, it is better to have more than one thing, not all of them are hard-hearted, not to mention Liu Dekui's obscenity, everyone does not dare to offend him, now the three most disgusting people have been taught a hard lesson by themselves, and the evil anger in their hearts is also out of most of it, and they don't want to go too far, and this time they returned to their hometowns and provinces, the court is paying attention, Cui Mengyao and other women don't want to do too much, so as not to affect the official reputation.

Seeing Liu Desheng on the road like this, Liu Yuan didn't embarrass him, but in fact, the status of the two sides is very different, and the competition is too difficult, not a little challenging.

It's like a man and a woman fighting, and if you lose, you say that you bully a woman, you have no grace, and you have a problem with your character, if you lose, others will say that even a woman can't fight, it's better to hit the wall and die, so as not to be embarrassed.

As soon as he saw that Liu Yuan had signs of reconciliation, Liu Desheng immediately struck while the iron was hot and said: "Please ask the general to reduce taxes and labor for a while, and now it has been increased by as much as forty percent, no, it has been increased by fifty percent, I am afraid, only we can't afford it, please be kind to the general." ”

Half an hour adds to one, and now this farce has been going on for more than two quarters of an hour.

Liu Yuan said coldly: "No, these words have already been spoken, and there is no faith in words, so what kind of prestige will there be." ”

"This" Liu Dekui's face turned pale, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word.

"But" Liu Yuan's voice changed, and then he smiled: "But Patriarch Liu is so sincere, he won't express it, and he can't say it, and he can't ignore that piece of incense, so let's add fifty percent, which means that you will wait five times, then from the more than 300 households in Jintian, you will select fifty households to add fifty percent of taxes and labor as punishment, these fifty households change every year, and the rest of the households are all fine as usual." ”

Liu Dekui didn't expect Liu Yuan to use such a way, and he froze all of a sudden, and he didn't speak for a while.

Liu Yuan's face sank, and he said coldly: "What, not happy?" Dissatisfied? ”

"General Dade, the villagers are grateful." As soon as Liu Yuan's face changed, Liu Desheng was so frightened that the whole person trembled, where did he dare to bargain, and hurriedly thanked him.

Although the tax is still to be added, but only fifty of them have been added, Jintian Liu's total of 300 households, his own intercession, it can be said that most of it has been reduced, greatly reducing the burden of the villagers, this matter is said, it is already a great achievement, as soon as he took office, he made a meritorious service, and his patriarch's position is naturally more solid, Jin Desheng has already calculated in his heart, this matter is provoked by Jin Dekui, and then his household, Liu Guang's family who offended Liu Yuan, and those households that are close to Jin Dekui are all put in the list of tax increases, In this way, it can also weaken his strength and help consolidate his position.

By the way, move the spiritual seat of Liu Dekui's room to the side hall and straighten Liu Yuan's room

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Seeing where the new patriarch was standing, his face was sometimes smiling, sometimes frowning, as if he was preoccupied, Guan Yong was not happy, and shouted in a low voice: "Since you have no opinion, then what are you still doing in the way, and you don't get out of the way." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, let's make the little one immediately. Liu Desheng was startled, and hurriedly got out of the way, not daring to block Liu Yuan's way.

He was thinking about things just now, thinking so much that he lost his mind for a moment.

Liu Yuan turned his head to Liu Desheng and said, "Patriarch Liu"

"The little one is here, the general has something to ask." This time, Liu Deyong was smart, and as soon as he heard Liu Yuan's call, he immediately responded.

"Tell the carpenter to make two more spirit cards" Liu Yuan said lightly: "I will go out as an official, there are many trivial matters, and there is little filial piety on weekdays, please go back to the spirit card, and you can burn a few pillars of incense on weekdays." ”

For this body, a lot of things have happened here, some profound, some unforgettable, but for Liu Yuan, his soul does not belong here, just to do something for the predecessor, and he rarely returns here in the future.

"Good, good" Liu Desheng hurriedly said: "The general's words are very good, and he really deserves to be a filial son and grandson, and the little one immediately ordered the carpenter to do it, and he also used the best wood to build it." ”

Liu Yuan nodded, expressing satisfaction, and then ignored him, turned around and helped Cui Mengyao and the others out of the carriage, ready to start the most important purpose of the trip: worship.

For Cui Mengyao, they have been looking forward to this day for a long time.

As soon as she got out of the carriage, Du Sanniang said a little unhappily: "That old man is really annoying, and we have waited so long." ”

"It's nothing, there are some old people, they are all very stubborn, fortunately, this time you don't have to make a big deal to get things done, like some people, even if you die, you have to maintain the principle, that's called trouble." Cui Mengyao whispered: "My father once had to dig up a hill when he was repairing water conservancy, but there was an ancient tomb on the mountain, and when he wanted to move it, he didn't expect to be strongly opposed. ”

"No," Du Sanniang said in surprise: "Uncle is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and there are local officials to assist, do they dare to disobey?" ”

Cui Mengyao said with a smile: "It's persuasion and pulling, people have caught several, even if they die, they won't retreat, and if they move a little bigger, some old people hit their heads against stones, and they killed three at once, and besides, this clan is still a little famous, and it can be regarded as a famous family, and no one dares to move under the rat taboo." ”

Hu Xin asked curiously: "What about the most rear, and the most recalcible?" ”

"Of course you have to move, if you don't move, the water conservancy project won't be completed, the emperor blames it, who can afford it."

"What's that going to do?"

Liu Yuan interjected on the side: "I guess I guess I found someone to find a tomb with better feng shui for him to use to move the grave, so that it can be solved perfectly, right?" ”

"Xianggong, how do you know about Lu Dao?" Cui Mengyao said in surprise: "You have also heard about this? ”

"Guessed"

Liu Yuan shook his head, these methods are actually not very clever, they all say that those people are so strong, and they have a background, so they naturally have to be solved in a gentle way, like those demolitions in later generations, aren't they all said to be extravagant? Of course, whether it is good or not depends on the final result.

"Alas" The little lady on the side suddenly sighed quietly, her brows furrowed.

"Little lady, what's wrong with you, why are you so frowning?" When Liu Yuan saw it, he hurriedly asked.

Xiao Niang hesitated for a moment, but still whispered: "Before my deceased father died, he said that his grandfather was the most stubborn, and when the family was in the most difficult time, he did not accept the donation of his deceased father. ”

Obviously, the little lady was touched by Cui Mengyao's words, so she sighed.

Liu Yuan gently scratched her nose and said: "There is nothing difficult in the world, I am only afraid of people with hearts, rest assured, everything is wrapped up in the senior brother, okay, the ancestral hall is in front, let's go, after worshipping the ancestral hall, we will go to sweep the tomb." ”

"Hmm"

Xiao Niang was convinced of Liu Yuan's words, Liu Yuan said okay, then there must be no problem, heard the words and whispered, followed the team forward, and unconsciously, there was a smile on the pretty face. (To be continued......)
