Li Tai said about the various deeds of the Pei clan in Hedong, "Pei Ju was in troubled times at the beginning, but there was another person who also had a lot of fame in the Pei clan in Hedong during the pre-Sui period, and that person was called Pei Shiqing. ”

"This Pei Shiqing and Pei Ju are cousins, when Pei Shiqing was appointed as the former Sui Honglu Temple, it is rumored that it is to see the seal of the king of the Japanese slave given to the king by Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty."

Zhang Yang held his hands and listened quietly, listening to a long past in the autumn equinox.

All this time they did not have a country name of their own, so that they are still nominally Japanese slaves.

In order to get rid of the reputation of the Japanese slaves, they surrendered to the Central Plains while taking a new country name.

It's a pity that before Yang Guang had time for their country name, the Eighteenth Road Anti-King was revealed, and this matter has been shelved until now.

When he returned from the Japanese slave country, the king of the family also gave his daughter to Pei Shiqing and brought two monks.

Li Tai talked about this secret, "However, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the First Emperor has unified the Central Plains, and since then, there has been little independent country between monarchs and ministers. ”

For more than 2,000 years of its own imperial system, it has always been taboo to split the soil and seal the country, you can be a prince but you can't have an independent country, with the precedent of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States, the experience of history has warned generations of kings.

As an emperor, if you surrender to me, what's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine.

Or it will just destroy you.

When did the Japanese monks cross the sea to study in the Central Plains?

A puppy ran along the ridge, Li Tai picked it up and hugged it and said: "This Pei family in Hedong has many talents, why did Pei Xuanji come out with such a person." ”

The topic came back again and again, Zhang Yang stood up again with a hoe on his shoulder, and hesitated: "If you want to buy paper, you have to buy our Lishan papermaking technology, so there is someone behind this Pei Xuanji, right?" ”

Li Tai nodded, "This person is suspicious." ”

As he was talking, the guards hurriedly came to report: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, we followed the surnamed Pei into Chang'an City, and followed ...... Lose someone. ”

Hearing this news, Li Tai's expression was much calmer, and he said slowly: "How can I lose it?" ”

"The man noticed it and threw us off in the alley."

Li Tai sighed, "It doesn't seem to be a simple person. ”

was about to ask how he felt, but when he saw that his brother-in-law had already walked away with a basket of vegetable seedlings, he had to run two steps to keep up, "Brother-in-law, this person is not simple." ”

"Well, it's not simple, this matter will be handed over to His Royal Highness King Wei."

"Huh?"

Li Tai was stunned in place, unable to answer for a long time, and could only watch his brother-in-law walk up to Lishan step by step.

He simply discussed the next arrangement with his guards.

The next day, Pei Xuanji came again, this time he brought two entourages and came to the entrance of Lishan Village with a loud roar, followed by a carriage.

Li Tai stepped forward and said, "I really should have beaten you to death yesterday." ”

Pei Xuanji bowed and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Wei sent someone to follow him, didn't he find out the chief envoy of the Empress Ming?" One or two beatings are nothing, King Wei will not kill the old man. ”

It feels very uncomfortable to be seen through his mind, especially when he is seen through by this kind of guy, Li Tai wants to beat him again, but because of the big things explained by his brother-in-law, he can only suppress the anger in his heart first.

The man smiled and said: "Actually, what the old man said yesterday is true, it doesn't matter whether His Royal Highness King Wei believes it or not, the old man is really happy with the Red Mansion." ”

"Isn't that listed as ** by the scholars?"

"Although it is **, it can be widely circulated in Shilin, this amazing story cannot stop the world from rushing to circulate first, and we and other scholars are all scolding while watching."

Pei Xuanji smiled confidently, "This time I came, the old man is still for papermaking, I don't know if His Royal Highness King Wei has thought about the price?" ”

Li Tai bowed his head and said, "What price are you offering?" ”

Pei Xuanji replied: "Two million guan, how about it?" ”

Hearing this price, even the guards on the side frowned, everyone has lived so big, where have they heard of such a number.

It is said that Lishan has money, and the current Lishan can't take out so much money.

Li Tai paced back and forth and thought about it, and only stopped for a while, "Is it really two million?" ”

Pei Xuanji nodded, "That's exactly the price." ”

Not to mention, Pei Xuanji is middle-aged, and he is still the scum after the celebrity, that is, the people behind him have outrageous financial resources.

Li Tai sat down and took a sip of tea, "According to this king, there are people in the Central Plains who can take out one million guan at a time, and there are not many people who may take out two million guan, there should not be only one person behind you, nor only one family, this is the price made up by several families together." ”

After a pause in his words, Li Tai smiled and said, "Brother Pei, that's right." ”

Pei Xuanji nodded with a smile, "I have heard that His Royal Highness King Wei has been smart since he was a child, and now it seems that the rumors are good, such a clever old man admires it, Lishan is really a good place." ”

Li Tai looked at the carriage behind him, "There is also silver money in the carriage?" ”

Pei Xuanji waved his hand, and the entourage behind him lifted the curtain, and there were indeed no people sitting in the carriage, but a full of silver cakes.

Li Tai walked to the carriage and picked up a silver ingot, "It's a big deal." ”

Pei Xuanji said again: "These silver cakes are worth 50,000 guan, which can be used as a deposit, as long as Lishan gives them the papermaking technique, another 2 million guan will also be sent." ”

Seeing that King Wei hesitated, Pei Xuanji whispered: "His Royal Highness King Wei, can the old man meet the Marquis of Lishan County?" ”

"My brother-in-law doesn't want to see outsiders during this time." Li Tai replied lightly.

"I wonder if these deposits are satisfactory?"

Throwing the silver cake into the carriage, Li Tai wiped his hands and said with a smile: "The price is indeed very high, you also know how important papermaking is, we are not short of money in Lishan, these deposits are not enough to enter the eyes of my brother-in-law, just some deposits are handed over to Lishan, I want Lishan to sell papermaking to them, is it not appropriate?" ”

"Please also ask His Royal Highness the King of Wei to make an offer?"

"We will accept these silver coins, as for the deposit, it is not good to give it to Lishan, and please send another fixed money."

"The old man will report it truthfully."

"I'm tired."

This time the conversation was much smoother than the last time, seeing that the other party was about to move the silver cake out, Li Tai said again: "Leave the carriage too, you are so rich that you won't feel sorry for a carriage, right?" ”

Pei Xuanji gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! It was also given to Lishan. ”

Other people's families have money, Pei Xuanji has no money, but this carriage was bought with his own money, so he took a look at it after feeling distressed.

The guard whispered: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, I will send someone to follow him." ”

Li Tai waved his hand and said: "No need, I was dumped last time, and this time I will inevitably fall behind if I let people follow." ”

Inquire about the news and send someone to keep an eye on him, but his guards are not good at it.

There are masters behind this Pei Xuan fuselage, Li Taixin said that this king doesn't know a few masters?

Xu Jingzong of the Foreign Affairs Yuan did this kind of.

This person is especially good at this.

Li Tai said in a low voice: "Spread the news of this king, let Xu Jingzong check this person, and all the actions of this person in Chang'an City, if you can, find out who is behind the scenes." ”

"Whoa."

What kind of person is my brother-in-law, in this Chang'an City, it is not easy to find out the news, not to mention that there are still gang members in Chu Mo's hands.

Three iron buddies, Li Tai helped dispatch Lishan, Chu Mo's manpower was arranged outside, and his brother-in-law sat in Lishan.

Needless to say, they all have a tacit understanding in their hearts.

Chu Mo will never interfere in the affairs of Lishan.

Li Tai will not bother to inquire about the gang in Chu Mo.

Even this Li Tai was reluctant to sit down in the wine shop, but stood outside the wine shop for a while, Cheng Chu tacitly understood the meaning and explained a few words to the restaurant girl.

The restaurant lady was very skilled, beat him up, and let him leave.

Li Tai shook his head and sighed, "This Chu Mo was beaten by his father when he was a child, and if he marries her in the future, he will be beaten by his wife, this situation is really deplorable, how can this person's eight characters be so evil?" ”

The guard on the side replied: "The same is true for the humble position, I think that Brother Chumo is really miserable. ”

But this guy is strong, rough skin and thick meat, it's nothing to be beaten one or two times, he hasn't practiced much since he was a child, and his ability to be beaten is one of the best in the world.

When the others approached, Li Tai looked at him, and he was now forty-four in his twenties, and the average man had already married at this age, so he had not yet married a wife.

Now Cheng Chumo also grew a beard, Li Tai squatted down and held his hands, acting like a brother-in-law, and said, "Chumo, you still shaved your beard a lot." ”

Cheng Chumo chewed the cake in his mouth, "It's just a literati, how can a martial artist shave?" ”

Li Tai sighed: "It's cleaner, and the girls look more comfortable." ”

"Really?" The words passed through his mind, and Cheng Chumo was entangled.

"Do you know that the women of Ping Kangfang like literati and don't like martial artists?"

"A certain family naturally knows." Cheng Chu Mo lifted his sleeve and stroked his beard and said: "The literati went to Pingkangfang to write poems and write articles to deal with it, but the martial artists have no sentiment, even if they have no money to pay the bill, the literati are easy to bully." ”

"Wrong." Li Tai shook his head suddenly, "That's because literati can make women happier more, except for money, only literati understand people's hearts better." ”

Cheng Chu was puzzled: "Isn't it the same for Ping Kangfang to pay the money?" ”

"You're a killer!" You Li didn't understand it with him, Li Tai raised a kick and kicked it, but he didn't kick it, and he fell to the ground roughly.

"Then a certain family went back and shaved his beard, just like Zhang Yang's blue scum, do girls like it?"

"How does this king know?"

Li Tai regretted in his heart that he had known that he would not come to this killing to help, but he really had no experience in this area, and in his eyes this kind of experience was useless, and it was not beneficial to the development of Lishan.

Coughing his throat, Li Tai looked around and whispered, "Chu Mo, do you want your help with something?" ”

"Is that Pei Xuanji?"

"Huh? How do you know? ”

Cheng Chumo ate the cake and buttoned his nose, "This person has drunk in the wine shop, talked about the matter with His Royal Highness the King of Wei, and asked a certain family how to buy the King of Wei." ”

"Huh?"

The shock of the past two days was too much, Li Tai felt physically and mentally exhausted, and after the pressure cooker was built, he would no longer ask about these trivial things.

According to the arrangement of his father and queen mother, he married a princess to spend the rest of his life.

How did you know that Pei Xuanji was so bold that he still wanted to buy this king.

Li Tai was curious: "Then did you say it?" ”

Cheng Chumo nodded, "He gave a piece of silver cake and said it." ”

Standing up suddenly, Li Tai pointed at him angrily, "Just because of this incident, you betrayed this king?" ”

"Don't you just like to eat tea eggs, what is there to say in a certain family, the wine shop is difficult to operate, and this money can be earned."

Hearing this, Chu Mo did tell the truth.

I really like tea eggs, and it is a beautiful thing to eat three or two every day, and I can't be greedy, and I feel uncomfortable when I eat too much.

The two sat down again, and Li Tai told him about Pei Xuanji's motives and ambitions, and asked him to investigate.

Chu Mo agreed without saying a word.

Li Tai nodded in thanks and went back to the village.

That night, Cheng Chumo came alone to the Weishui River and lit a fire here, the fire was very bright at night, and it could be seen in the village.

Shangguan Yi had a son, and he also spent the most important stage of his life in Lishan and became a father.

Offering incense in front of his father's spiritual seat Shangguan Hong, he saw the fire by the Weishui River in the distance from the window, so he put on his coat and went out.

This is the way for the two to meet, and after the matter in Luoyang is over, the two have not seen each other for a long time.

According to Zhang Yang's arrangement, in addition to helping run the factory, he also has to deal with all kinds of arrangements in the gang, and now the gang rules have been stabilized, and the two will not meet if there is no need.

Shangguan Yi walked to the river and looked at Chu Mo's big face in the light of the fire.

Cheng Chumo looked at Wei Shui, "His Royal Highness the King of Wei asked a certain family to send someone to check Pei Xuanji." ”

"I've heard of this person, the other party's origin is not simple, it seems that he is just a celebrity, and there is another person behind him."

Shangguan Yi recalled that at the beginning, "When I was still a child, my father was in the court with Pei Ju, not to mention how Pei Xuanji was, just said that his biological father Pei Ju was trusted by Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian and Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty, which shows this person's talent." ”

"And Pei Ju made friends with many famous families back then, and those old people after Yang Guang are still the same, the forces behind Pei Xuanji are different from those children in Luoyang, the children of Luoyang are from the family, and the people behind Pei Xuanji are likely to be the old forces left by the former Sui, the old gate valve."

Cheng Chumo didn't think about it so much, the Central Plains is too complicated, so complicated that the forces of all parties are intertwined, just to sort it out makes people feel a headache.

After Li Yuan ascended the throne, he always focused on appeasement, and after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he also treated the old people of the former Sui Dynasty well.

Tian Khan treated them well, but the Sui Dynasty collapsed, and Li Yuan took the throne, which is a fact.

Even if Li Jiancheng's vein is liquidated, the old Sui people of the former Sui are still in the Central Plains.

When the Central Plains was in turmoil, which one of the families who could stay was not a prominent family.

Even if Pei Ju passes away, his friends will take care of Pei Xuanji.

Cheng Chumo scooped up a handful of river water and washed his face to refresh himself, "I heard His Royal Highness King Wei say that the other party is from Hebei." ”

Shangguan Yi shook his head, "Those few in Hebei alone can't take out two million yuan." ”
