After listening to the words of several of them, everyone finally decided to stay.

In fact, their decision is not surprising.

Since someone is starting out, they don't have many options.

First, they are all teenagers, who doesn't want to fight for face?

Second, going back and forth basically broke off the future, what to do when you go back?

Three, it's the herd mentality, the big guys don't go back, who wants to be the lone wolf who is out of the organization?

Even if it was the eldest grandson Chong, he decided to stay at this time.

In fact, if Changsun Chong is the first to say that he wants to go back, there are still people who are willing to respond, isn't it nothing.

Of course, the reason why he didn't make up his mind was that he couldn't make up his mind.

The main reason why he couldn't make up his mind was that the eldest grandson Wuji didn't give him any advice on this, which is very revealing.

After the final decision was made, everyone immediately began to eat and drink.

A group of half-sized people may be confused before they have no direction, but once they have a direction, they are a group of heartless guys.

……

Apart from them, every family is bustling with activity today.

At this time, Ihara Seok also got together with his own people to celebrate the New Year.

In Ihara Xi's house, the front and back yards were full of tables, and everyone was housed.

Although the Yi clan is a tribe, there are only a few hundred people, and that's it, including the elderly, children and women.

At this scale, it is not as big as a larger family in Datang.

Not to mention anything else, among those noble families in Chang'an, who doesn't have a few hundred people?

"Touren, is the Ming Dynasty going to use troops against Tuyuhun at the beginning of the year?" At the time of eating, Yi Yuanzhen took the time to ask.

Although Ihara Zhen is a junior, because his identity is different now, he is naturally qualified to sit at the main table.

In the entire main table, he is the only junior.

As for Yi Yuanxi's eldest son Yi Yuan Xiao, he is on duty today, but he can't come back, and if he comes back, he is also qualified to sit at the main table.

Yi Yuanxi smiled and said, "How does this old man know? The old man is in charge of the Ministry of Works, not the Ministry of War. Speaking of this, Yi Yuanxi instructed again, "But no matter whether His Highness wants to use troops against Tuyuhun or not, you must be prepared, not to mention that my Yi clan also made an oath to serve His Highness for a few years, just say that now, Daming is indeed thriving, and this is also an opportunity for you to make contributions."

The old man's career has basically come to an end, and even the secretary of the Ministry of Industry is also loved by His Royal Highness.

In the final analysis, Yi's future depends on you young people.

And His Royal Highness has always been kind to young people, and he is willing to give young people opportunities, look at that Xue Rengui, isn't it just by virtue of his own ability that he has come to this day step by step?

That kid, there will definitely be a future to worship the prime minister! ”

and his own family, he doesn't talk nonsense about serving the court, it's straightforward.

"Don't worry, we all understand." Ihara said.

Ihara said again: "Are your hands and feet still clean?" Now that the dynasty has been established, although it is the time to employ people, but at this juncture, if you dare to do those dirty things, even if you are an old man, you can't intercede for you.

Don't be so shallow, take a long-term view, besides, you are the one who leads the troops, if you deduct the salary under your command, will your subordinates still obey you? ”

"Oh my god." Ihara Zhen immediately called out and said, "How dare I do that thing of deducting food and salary." ”

"Then how did the old man hear that your salary was paid some time later than others?" Yi Yuanxi said, "As far as the old man knows, the household department has never defaulted on your salary. ”

Speaking of this, Yi Yuan Zhen was a little embarrassed: "That, didn't I lend the food to those caravans before?" It was only when they returned later than the agreed time, but as soon as they returned, I immediately sent the food and wages. ”

"Nonsense!" When Yi Yuanxi heard this, he was also angry.

As soon as he heard this guy say this, he immediately understood.

This guy is taking the big guy's salary to eat interest, this dog is dying! If he can't get it back, he will be in big trouble, and he will be the first official of Daming to be disposed of.

"You can't do this kind of thing in the future." Ihara said quite sternly, "Also, all the profits will be taken out and distributed to the families of those soldiers who were injured and retired and those who died in battle."

Day by day, what have you done! Does Your Highness owe you food? ”

Although Ihara Zhen was reluctant, Ihara Xi said so, and he didn't dare to object, so he only agreed at the moment.

This is the nature of human greed.

It can actually be seen clearly from Ihara Zhen's body.

If he can't control his greed in the future, then he will definitely intensify his efforts, and in the end he will not escape the fate of being stabbed by Li Chengqian.

"Touren, I heard that His Highness also has some thoughts about our tribes?" Seeing that no one spoke, another clan elder immediately asked.

Yi Yuanxi nodded and said, "Since we talked about this topic, let's talk about this matter as well."

His Highness does have intentions to split the tribe.

As you know, the tribe is big, and there are many problems. ”

"What does that mean?" Another clan elder asked.

Yi Yuanxi said: "I am in favor, firstly, there are not many people in our Yi tribe, and the impact on our Yi tribe is actually not great.

Second, I am also a secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the resolutions of the court naturally have to be supported.

Third, and most importantly, after the household is divided, the benefits that the clansmen can enjoy will be better.

Just like now, although we are one, when the court counts it, it can only be counted as one household, and the future court benefits are arranged according to each household.

From this point of view, it's good to divide it. ”

"Then this point, isn't our Yi clan a piece of scattered?" Another old man said worriedly.

These old guys are still old ideas, and they can't turn around for a while.

Yi Yuanxi smiled and said, "How can it be said that it is scattered?" We're not all still here in Sun Moon Mountain, nominally we're separated, but in fact we're not still together, and we're not going to other places like you.

Moreover, if you don't divide households, what benefits will the court have in the future, such as workshop recruitment, and the quota will only be given to one household, who do you say it will be for or not?

Is it for you, or for him?

But once the household is divided, everyone has it at home, and that's not better. ”

Although these old guys are a little stubborn, when it comes to practical benefits, everyone can still understand.

Besides, the imperial court has such a resolution, what else can they do?

Seeing that everyone had no opinions, Yi Yuanxi breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, in his opinion, whether the household is divided or not does not have much impact on them, as he said, everyone is just nominally divided.

But he doesn't know that as long as you nominally divide the household, after a long time, people's selfishness will pull everyone further and further.

In addition to the Ihara Xi Mansion, similar things are actually going on in their mansions such as Puxiru and Ihara Peak.

Everyone also took advantage of the Chinese New Year to implement Li Chengqian's policy from their own homes.

The real trouble is the mansion of Qi Bi He Li.

His family's situation is much more troublesome.

There's no way, there are tens of thousands of people in the Tiele Department, and it's really not something that can be done well in a while.

However, after Qi Bi He Li received the news, he was already working on this matter.

At this time, he was just discussing a specific charter with his old mother at home.

……

Thousands of miles away, Chang'an.

The New Year's flavor in Chang'an City should be more abundant and lively.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the people in Chang'an alone are estimated to be more than the entire Ming Dynasty, can it not be lively.

On the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Er was also feasting the ministers.

It's all conventions for the New Year.

In the harem, only the eldest grandson is qualified to accompany Li Er to feast with the ministers.

At this time, everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, so it was not lively.

As for the previous troubles, they have long been left out of the nine heavens.

When it's time to rejoice, then rejoice, there's nothing to say. Everybody is doing a great job of that.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Li Er smiled and said: "In the past year, the Tang Dynasty has been smooth and the treasury is full, when it is the beginning of the prosperous era, I raise my glass and drink with you!" ”

"Drink to win!" As soon as Li Er's words fell, everyone got up and shouted with their wine glasses.

After a glass of wine, Wei Chi Jingde immediately poured himself a glass of wine, and shouted: "Your Majesty toasts, don't dare not return, Weichen will do it first as a respect." ”

After saying that, he finished drinking.

Li Er's banquet has always been full of heroism.

On top of the banquet, there are not many rules.

Li Er was naturally not to be outdone, and immediately drank it all, seeing that the others were ready to do the same, Li Er waved his hand and said, "Qingque and Ke'er, could it be that your two brothers are here to cook?" ”

These two guys are honest now.

It looks like a good Taiping prince with one mind, and it's strange to say, when the sons fought openly and secretly, Li Er was also annoyed, they were all their own brothers, what are they fighting for?

But after these guys were honest, Li Er was annoyed, one by one, he didn't have any fighting spirit at all, wouldn't Gao Ming just make a Ming court? Just scared you?

This is like his second son.

People, it's really complicated, especially a person like Li Er, no matter what you do, he won't be satisfied, and when he wants to find fault with you, he will definitely be able to find it.

When Li Ke and Li Tai heard this, they glanced at each other, and immediately smiled: "Erchen is just a little greedy, and he hasn't been so relaxed for a while." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, this time, there is too much schoolwork, I really haven't been so relaxed." Li Tai also smiled.

These two guys have really devoted all their time to studying now, and they have discovered that the main reason why Li Chengqian can achieve this achievement in such a short period of time is that his knowledge is deeper than his own, so they are not idle.

Don't look at what they said before.

Hehe, don't forget, what is the premise of their indisputability, that is, Li Chengqian has always been as unattainable as today, if one day, the gap between them is closer, or Li Chengqian is no longer like today, are they really indisputable?

Think too much.

To put it bluntly, they are just waiting now, waiting for Li Chengqian to make a mistake by himself, and then it will be their chance.

While waiting, learn more things, that is also another kind of powerful self.

There is an idiom that can describe their current thinking, and that is to wait for work with leisure.

Li Er nodded, he naturally knew what these two guys were doing recently, but he still didn't like it, it was a good thing to be dedicated to learning, but there was always a lack of young people's hard work.

If it had been before, on such an occasion, they would have already mingled with the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, after all, if they wanted to compete for that position, they would definitely need more people to support them.

"These two princes have been a lot more peaceful recently." When Kong Yingda was toasting with Wei Zheng, he happened to see this scene and immediately smiled.

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Yes, it's a lot." ”

Having said that, Wei Zheng sneered in his heart.

Behind this kind of peace, there are earth-shattering waves, which is not a good thing.

"By the way, why didn't Duke Wei bring Ling Lang back this time?" Kong Yingda asked, "Ling Lang is young after all, even if he takes it back this time, others won't be able to say a thing or two, even if it is His Majesty, he will understand."

After all, as soon as the troops are withdrawn from Taozhou, Daming is in danger! ”

"What are you going to do when you take it back?" Wei Zheng said, "It is precisely because Daming may be in some trouble this time that Shuyu's child should stay in Daming, besides, how can the old man's child escape from the battle?" ”

"But in case ......" Kong Yingda was a little worried, "The knife and gun have no eyes." ”

Wei Zheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty's move is quite meaningful, so let's leave it at that, besides, even if Murong Fuyun really dares to wave his troops south, the Ming Dynasty is not without the strength to fight." ”

"Meaning?" Kong Yingda was a little puzzled and said, "What is the meaning of Your Majesty's move?" ”

"It's hard to say." Wei Zheng said, "After all, most of the princes in the court have heirs in Daming, Your Majesty may want to see everyone's quality." ”

Wei Zheng said this very vaguely.

However, Kong Yingda understood it instantly, they are all smart people, and this kind of dumb riddle naturally can't hide from him.

The meaning of Wei Zheng's words is actually very simple, Li Er wants to see how many children can be used, of course, this is only the first meaning, and at the same time, he is also looking at them.

But this layer is more esoteric.

There is more than one kind of color.

On the other side, Wei Chi Jingde and Qin Qiong were whispering to these generals.

Li Xiaogong and Li Daozong, the princes, were not idle.

In general, Li Eryi's seemingly ordinary will actually stirred up the entire court.

And Li Er is like the old man who sits firmly in the Diaoyutai, calmly waiting for the final result.

It's just that this result, in the end, will satisfy everyone, it is unknown.

At least so far, Li Er is quite satisfied.

Anyway, he wasn't too disappointed in the performance of these old guys.

For him, the next thing to do is to further put the matter of sending troops to Goguryeo on the agenda.

He didn't want to miss this opportunity, as for Li Chengqian, then he couldn't care so much.
