Chapter 188: The Boiling of Blood
The eldest grandson Wuji carefully explained to Li Xiang, why these big families came together, it turned out that all the threats came from Li Xiang, and there were indeed internal conflicts between them before, and it was also because of Li Xiang's products.
But after all, the people in power of several major families have brains, they can come to this point, and their unity is related, and the struggle can not affect the great unity, if the major families are separated, then the entire Tang Dynasty court can easily disintegrate them, so in the days when Li Xiang left the capital, these people came together again, and regarded Li Xiang as their biggest threat.
"Feeling scared?"
The eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Xiang with interest, after all, he could be regarded as a threat by several major families, which only Li Shimin had enjoyed such treatment since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty.
"I'm not afraid, but I do feel a little troublesome, life should be fought for life, their union also makes me feel that I have a goal, it seems that as my uncle said, Chang'an City has a story every day, once I leave for too long, Chang'an City will give me a huge surprise."
Li Xiang said with a little excitement, this is by no means Li Xiang pretending to be calm, but really feeling the beating of his blood, if it is a pool of stagnant water after rebirth, Li Xiang also feels that it is not interesting, you can only make my life interesting if you are really strong.
"Don't worry about going back to Chang'an, it's impossible to completely hand it over to them here, didn't you still leave a secret chess move? The emperor has already approved, and the area outside Liangzhou City has been set up as the Xiliang Capital Protectorate, and the emperor's people should be the protectors, and Zaterke entered the Mansion as the curtain. ”
After hearing this, Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, although it was different from his previous plan, but at least the general direction has not changed, the emperor's people are the protectors of this capital, but he doesn't know much about the local area, and he will definitely rely on Zaterke when the time comes, although there is no way to let Zaterk serve directly, but the power behind the scenes is the same, if that kid can't even do this, then he is not worthy of following us.
"Is my uncle interested in the grassland here? Are the ministers and tycoons of Chang'an City interested? ”
Li Xiang has been away from Chang'an for too long, and he doesn't know some of the situation over there, although he has a good plan to auction the grassland here, but if no one is interested, I'm afraid he won't be able to sell the money, and his own credit will be discounted.
"Half and half, but this matter is in the hands of these big families, they will definitely find a way to make this matter prosperous, if I guess correctly, they will definitely send someone over to find out the real situation here, once there is a benefit, they will never mind swallowing it alone."
The eldest grandson Wuji said helplessly, it is not the early years of the Tang Dynasty anymore, and the strength of the imperial court has reached the highest state, but when facing these big families, there is always a sense of powerlessness, so the imperial court has to make concessions in some aspects, who has let the family exist for so long, and various forces have penetrated into all aspects of society.
"If they really want to swallow it, then it is better to let them swallow it, such a large piece of land, the court will never give it to them for nothing, then they also need to spare a lot of money, when they give up some industry, we can take advantage of the trend."
Li Xiang's heart immediately thought of some other things, several major families are not printing money, if they want to buy the grassland here, they have to sell some other industries, although they will have some silver in their hands, but it is impossible to buy the grassland here, Li Xiang has been waiting for a long time, even if it is a few major families to sell unprofitable industries, with Li Xiang's ability to turn stones into gold, they can also regret it at that time.
"You're right, several big families have begun to operate in the country, but what they sell is some not very good fields, and some mountains and the like, is there any use for you to buy those places?"
The eldest grandson Wuji said with some doubts, if all the fields sold are good fields, then there is no need to mobilize anyone, others have already bought them, but all of them are some dry fields that cannot be watered, who wants to buy these things?
"Of course it's useful, but I'm not going to buy it now, their price is not very low now, and when they need money urgently, I believe the price will drop again, and then I'll buy it all, no matter what kind of field it is, as long as there is soil."
Li Xiang showed a confident smile, how does the eldest grandson Wuji next to him look at this guy like a loser, he knows that it is easy for you to make money, but what are you buying a bunch of wasteland for? And your father, in the days when you went to the front line, no matter where the land was released, you desperately looted the East Palace and spent all the money you had saved.
The two talked about some other things, Li Xiang had already gone back to prepare, according to the requirements of the holy decree, Li Xiang only had three days to prepare, and the rest of the time had to return to the capital, and the eldest grandson Wuji had to deal with some other things here, so he didn't go back with Li Xiang.
Tuyuhun Hall.
Before leaving, Li Xiang had to meet Zaterke, after all, there was no such good situation as before, and Li Xiang had to appease this guy first.
"This is a reply, your uncle rejected you......"
Zaterk had said that he would send a letter to his uncle, and then someone would come to him, but unfortunately this guy was too confident in himself, and after the letter was sent, they immediately replied.
Zaterke immediately opened the letter and looked at it, sure enough, it was his uncle's handwritten letter, and he was faceless again in front of Li Xiang, Zaterke didn't know how many times, he thought he still had some majesty on the grassland, but now it seems that he is not bullshit, and in the days when he stayed in Chang'an City, his father has been eliminating his influence, and it seems that he has already had an idea.
"It's okay, things have changed now......"
It's also a good thing that Zaterk didn't recruit people on the grassland, if you get a few big tribes, Li Xiang just gave him a staff member of the Metropolitan Protectorate, and it is estimated that this guy will not be willing, at that time it was promised that this Metropolitan Protector, and now he has become a staff member from the Metropolitan Protector, who knows the gap in the middle, but if you don't have a bargaining chip in your hand, then you have to do what you are arranged......
