Chapter 766: The Imperial Court is the enemy
Li Yue said with a solemn expression, "In the past two years, the DPRK and China have repeatedly targeted Lishan, and it will be okay for a year or two, if it continues to be like this, Lishan will not be able to pass?" ”
Auntie prepared tea and food.
In the face of the house, the family is like a great enemy.
Li Yue saw that he was well prepared and said: "There should also be a negotiation between Lishan and the court. ”
The words were very imposing, and she still held her husband's arm when she went down the mountain.
At the edge of Huaqing Pond, Xiong Da looked at the three hippos with hostile eyes, trying to find an opportunity to attack in a circle.
It's just that the three hippos raised their hind hooves and kicked back, and Xiong Da was kicked into Huaqing Pond unsurprisingly.
When the bear climbed ashore from the pond in embarrassment, it looked that the horse had already left with its head held proud.
Xiong Da didn't try to catch up and take revenge, but what could he do...... Running and running, want to fight? Not even a chance to get close.
The couple walked down the mountain to the entrance of the village and handed over the main business matters of Lishan to Xiao Wu and Xiao Hui, and the hostess rarely went down the mountain.
When Fang Xuanling saw the couple coming together, he bowed down and saluted: "I've seen Her Royal Highness the princess, and I've seen the county marquis." ”
Li Yue spoke first: "You don't need to be polite. ”
Then he handed over a wooden box and said with a smile: "This is the soap made by myself, and I hope that the prime minister will not dislike it." ”
Fang Xuanling lowered his head and said, "How can the old man accept it, this ......"
Zhang Yang stepped forward and put the box of soap in Fang Xuanling's hand, "Fang Xiang, this is our own cooking." ”
Unlike giving property directly, the soap made by the county marquis family itself cannot be bought outside, and the value and meaning are also different.
Fang Xuanling nodded and put the small box into his arms.
After the couple sat down, Fang Xiang also sat down again.
Li Yue took a kettle from her aunt's hand and personally poured a bowl of tea for Fang Xiang, "This is this year's new tea, Fang Xiang will try it." ”
It is said that the character of the county marquis is rumored to be an impudent person, and now the couple is so enthusiastic and polite, which makes Fang Xuanling feel pressure inexplicably.
It is rare to have such pressure in front of the younger generation, and the couple in front of them should not be underestimated.
Secretly gave an affirmation in his heart, Fang Xuanling did not pick up the tea bowl, but spoke first: "Recently, I heard that someone in the market accused Lishan of bullying businessmen, because the old man wanted to come to ask the county marquis about this matter. ”
"Fang Xiang, we in Lishan have always been only responsible for production, and rarely participate in the affairs of businessmen, let alone bully businessmen."
Li Yue's momentum was very confident, and he also gave enough pressure, Fang Xiang represented the court, from Lishan to operate the Hexi Corridor, began to advocate production and participation in taxation, and it was impossible for Lishan and the court to stand together.
The court is Lishan's opponent, and when the family business is big enough, it is the court's restrictions on the family business.
The family business is a husband and wife working together, looking at the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is the father, Li Yue can make concessions in love, but the court has repeatedly threatened, and Lishan is not without temper.
Accompanied by her words, a strong and sharp tone told about the current attitude of Lishan.
"Lishan did contact with the merchants, but Lishan has always been the producer, and what Lishan took out was the goods, as we all know, the price of Lishan's goods is low, and the merchants often raise prices, but these things have nothing to do with Lishan."
Fang Xuanling nodded slightly.
Li Yue continued: "As for our Lishan bullying merchants? This has never happened before, where to start, the business of the merchant is the merchant, the battle between the merchant and the merchant, why should Lishan be coerced? The DPRK will definitely give our family a fair explanation, what does Fang Xiang think? ”
Zhang Yang took a sip of tea and smiled indifferently: "Fang Xiang, our Lishan has been out of production since the beginning of the year, and now the factory is still under construction, and we have not taken out the goods to sell, how can we bully the businessmen, we Lishan do not bear such charges, I hope that the DPRK and China can also give a notice to explain Lishan's attitude." ”
Finally, Fang Xuanling took out the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, this time he came to Lishan not only to bully businessmen.
But in the face of the couple in front of him, Fang Xuanling felt no less pressure.
It was difficult to deal with, this was Fang Xuanling's first feeling, and then sighed, "This matter has been inquired by the DPRK, if Lishan has nothing to do with this matter, he will naturally give an answer." ”
Li Yue said again: "In Guanzhong, our Lishan has always paid the most taxes, but the court has repeatedly targeted them, from the matter of acres of land to taxes, I don't know what it means?" ”
Fang Xuanling's expression was solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness Princess, acres of land and taxes have always been important matters in the court. ”
Li Yue's tone was a little higher, "Fang Xiang said well, but even if it is the top priority, my husband encourages various townships and counties to plant vegetables because of the errand of Taifu Temple. ”
Although it was still May, the afternoon sun was scorching, and Fang Xuanling wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve.
The sun is hot, but the wind is cool.
It's a very uncomfortable feeling that the ground is hot from top to bottom and the cold wind blows on the other.
Fang Xuanling said again: "There is no yang in the court. ”
Li Yue said: "Then please call on the townships and counties in the DPRK and let them support the various initiatives of my husband Jun Taifu Siqing, maybe the Fang Xiang is still worried about whether this initiative is good or bad, and now the vegetables grown in Lantian County, Gaoling County, are the villagers in the two places still less benefited?" ”
"Since it is a beneficial thing, it is right to take the unity of the house as the society and support the justice of the world, and we should also encourage Lishan and Taifu Temple."
Zhang Yang sat aside and listened, at this time she couldn't stop her daughter-in-law, she had been holding her breath in her heart for the past two years, and she was not vomiting or unhappy at the moment, and the court had too much to target Lishan.
Fang Xuanling also understood that the couple in front of him were here to negotiate.
Seeing that the scene couldn't get off the stage for a while, the atmosphere was also frozen, the daughter-in-law sang with a white face, and his own county marquis should also ease the atmosphere, Zhang Yang cleared his throat and smiled: "Fang Xiang, our Lishan has been repeatedly targeted by the DPRK and China, and we have been too wronged over the years, so we have these words." ”
Constantly shaking the fan in his hand, Zhang Yang said again: "I also hope that the prime minister can tell the court that the court is based on the community and should also protect Lishan, our family has been unable to make ends meet, if the court is targeted again, I am afraid it will be unsustainable." ”
"Zhang Shilang." Fang Xuanling called by his official name this time, and said: "Why has Pei Xingjian not heard from him for a long time, and the Anxi Protectorate has not seen his soldiers and horses come back?" ”
Zhang Yang refilled the tea for him, "This matter should be asked to Xu Shangshu, since he served as the secretary of Taifu Temple, he has not asked about the Ministry of Rites for a long time." ”
"Fang Xiang doesn't have to worry too much, maybe there will be news in a while, no matter what, Liang Jianfang has probably also arrived in Persia, but the news is slow and the road is far away."
Zhang Yang is no longer the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and there are some things that he doesn't say and don't ask too much.
Regardless of the business, the husband and wife did not look at each other, nor did they look at each other, but the tacit understanding between the two was seamless.
Fang Xuanling bowed his head and said: "County Marquis, Your Royal Highness the Princess, the restrictions imposed by the court on Lishan are also for protection. ”
was about to speak, but saw that her husband was about to speak first, and Li Yue kept silent again.
"Fangxiang, Lishan construction has always been used for people's livelihood, our ideal has always been the word rich and strong, Guanzhong to be rich and strong, the Central Plains to be rich and strong, and Datang even more!"
Zhang Yang stood up and walked to Fang Xiang's side, "The court can't just restrict Lishan, let alone Taifu Temple, it should also give us convenience, right?" ”
"In line with the tone that both of us want the Tang Dynasty to be rich and strong, I hope that the DPRK and China and Lishan can each come up with a team of representatives to negotiate."
Fang Xuanling was still thinking about it, and did not agree immediately.
Zhang Yang said: "If Lishan is richer, it is inseparable from the support of the DPRK and China, and Lishan can better serve the community in the future. ”
"Huh!" Zhang Yang waved his sleeves disdainfully: "It's really a joke." ”
Fang Xuanling said in a deep voice: "With Lishan's financial and manpower resources, it is not difficult to find out about this matter. ”
Li Yue replied: "The room is misunderstood, Lishan has never inquired about this thing, but our husband and wife have analyzed it." ”
"Analysis?"
Li Yue also stood up and paced back and forth, and replied: "It's just that after the flooding of the Yellow River, some people want to cover up the impact of the Yellow River management and flooding disasters, which may make the DPRK and China pay attention to Lishan and Shangjia. ”
"The person who instigated it must have a conflict of interest with Lishan, and the person who discussed this matter with his husband must be some person who controls the big workshop, cloth? Paper? Or is it printing and artisans? It's all possible, we Lishan are not like them, we will not incite people to coerce the court, Lishan is still the same sentence, I hope the court can give us justice. ”
After understanding the meaning of the husband and wife in front of him, he wanted to find out the rumors of bullying businessmen, and he also had to give Lishan justice and make a public announcement.
The second thing is that Lishan and the court need to have a conversation, and this negotiation involves taxes and acres, as well as the future of Lishan.
Fang Xuanling got up and said: "The old man has gained a lot from coming to Lishan, so let's go back to Chang'an City first, and when the court is ready, I will come to Lishan to talk." ”
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "It is a great thing for Lishan that Fang Xiang can attach importance to this conversation. ”
"It's a good thing, and it's also a good thing for the court."
Fang Xuanling muttered goodbye to the couple.
When he walked outside the village, he thought back to the attitude and momentum shown by Her Royal Highness the princess and Zhang Yang.
More money and good Jia, long sleeves and good dancing, this Lishan is not what it used to be.
Her Royal Highness the Princess and Zhang Yang are not as jerky as before.
Among the relatives outside the clan, which family dares to speak like this.
Fang Xuanling shot from the left servant of Shangshu Province to the current Pingzhang Shi, and served as a phase.
There are many people in the clan of foreign relatives, and it is the first time that Fang Xuanling has seen such a family, not stammering, not flattering, but people who want to negotiate terms with the DPRK and China.
From the soft expression before meeting Her Royal Highness the Princess and Zhang Yang, Fang Xuanling regained her calm and serious expression at this moment.
Fang Yi was waiting by the carriage, and when he saw his father coming, he hurriedly greeted him and asked, "How was the talk?" ”
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said, "Well, I underestimated Lishan." ”
Fang Yizhi said again: "Father, what do you need the child to do?" ”
He waved his hand and said, "No need, go back to Chang'an City first." ”
"Whoa." Fang Yi helped his father into the carriage and rushed towards Chang'an City.
After bidding farewell to Fang Xiang, the couple walked on the mountain trail together.
Zhang Yang said with a smile: "In the past, we only dealt with Cen Wenwen and them, but in the future, our family will have to face Fang Xiang, Zhao Guogong, Zheng Gong and others, they are the center of power." ”
"Husband, I often say that if you have strength, you have to talk about conditions, and you can't blindly let it go."
From the standpoint of the people of Chang'an City, is Lishan really kind?
For the powerful and relatives, it is hateful for Lishan to scatter money to buy people's hearts.
For the merchants, Lishan is like pumping their blood, and the goods in Lishan are so cheap, how can they make money?
For the owners of the major workshops in Guanzhong, Lishan is even more vicious, giving such a generous remuneration to the laborers and having such a strong productivity.
The more vocal and vocal opposition of the laborers in their hands made it harder for them to enslave the villagers.
Money will change a person's mind, just as Xuanzang said, no matter how much money there is in Lishan, it is all outside the body, and people who pursue profit are full of evil in the end.
Zhang Yang walked with Li Yue, she liked to look at the flowers and plants in Lishan, and then see how the fruit trees planted before were growing, and to see if the ditches on the mountain road were blocked.
Lishan is strong, Lishan is rich, and the family business is so big that it will be on the right track.
From the small fights in the past, it has now become a big group, so if this group wants to be safe and sound for a long time, it needs to be dotted.
Make a little connection, and make a little bit of a relationship with the court.
Li Yue was holding a pine branch in his hand, and the pine branch was waving on the weeds on both sides of the mountain road, and when he saw that his husband suddenly smiled, he asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”
"Laughing at what our daughter said."
Zhang Yang held her and said with a smile: "My daughter said that the court is a bandit." ”
Li Yue threw away the pine branch in his hand, "You taught?" ”
"I won't teach our daughter to say such things, most of them were taught by your imperial grandfather to say this."
Seeing his daughter-in-law frowning and thinking, Zhang Yang said again: "Your imperial grandfather still taught her how to rebel, and you don't care about it." ”
Li Yue turned his head disdainfully, "You don't care if you're a father." ”
Late at night, Aunt Yang took care of the little princess to sleep, and then saw that the princess and the prince were also asleep, looking at the main house, the lights in the study were still on, and what she saw were two figures.
Her Royal Highness the princess is holding a scroll in one hand, and the county marquis is holding a pen.
You can still faintly hear the sound of conversation in the study, and it seems that the couple has some disputes.
"This time there is no need for the imperial grandfather to come forward in the negotiation, and he doesn't understand anything."
"If your father is also here, Lishan will be very passive."
"Even if my father comes, I have to deal with everything."
The list of negotiators includes Shangguan Yi, Wu Shi Tong, Ouyang Xun, Li Tai, and Li Xiaogong.
Speaking of facts, Li Yue was a little weak and added Li Yuan to the list.
"Xiao Hui and Xiao Wu also went over together, they know Lishan's accounts clearly, and they can assist their husbands." (End of chapter)
