Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Events That Shocked Li Kuan for Three Hundred Years
Li Kuan is a big liar.
The family is a group of sixths.
This sentence has spread far and wide in Shuofang and Datang.
Everyone thought it was strange when they heard it at first, but later they found out that it was from Liang Luoren at a certain banquet, and when everyone asked what happened at the banquet, they thought it was normal.
In September of the second year of Zhenguan, Li Bin and Lu Jing, the people of Shuofang, led people to attack the government to investigate the case.
In order to thank Yu Zhining and Li Kuan, the assassins, in order to investigate the case and repay their innocence, the people Li Bin and Lu Jing specially held a banquet.
At the banquet, Liang Luoren knew that Li Kuan had also opened a steel mill and was going to take the road of selling weapons together.
The most ruthless thing is that Li Kuan's steel mill signed a series of agreements with the state, which made Liang Luoren realize that he had to sign with him.
If there is an example of everything, if you don't follow the people who come after, then you don't have two hearts.
This made Liang Luoren can't help but call Li Kuan a liar.
At the banquet, the second master of the Lu family, who came from Chang'an, took an apology signed by a group of families to toast Li Kuan and apologize.
The second master of the Lu family, who was in his fifties, put down his son, personally apologized to Li Kuan, and said good things, this scene made Liang Luoren snort coldly, it was really stinky and shameless.
Li Kuan took down your family and confiscated your family property in Shuofang, you didn't dare to fight with him and break the bloodstream, do you still have the backbone?
Now for the sake of the steel produced by Li Kuan, I will admit it and despise you to death.
In the face of Liang Luoren's cynicism, the second master of the Lu family didn't care at all and faced it easily.
Our Lu family has obtained a privateer certificate, and the next step is to send an armed privateer team, and Li Kuan's steel mill has the right to build weapons.
A few days ago, after Li Kuan completed the accounting, he put a price list for us, which is very cheap, why don't we bother about it.
The face is nothing, compared to going to the grassland to raid, the face is not a good thing.
Li Kuan smiled and signed a series of purchase agreements with the family.
It's okay, isn't it just a weapon, I'll sell you.
Although earth-based steelmaking was garbage in later generations, it was still an advanced technology in this era.
Li Kuan, the steel furnace technology of the two parties, said that he had already done it.
As for the fear of Li Shimin, the newcomer to the steel furnace, Li Kuan is not afraid at all, there are Li Shimin's original shares in this steel mill.
Probably only Liang Luoren was injured.
The black workshop controlled by the Liang family was squeezed to death by Li Kuan's steel mill at the very beginning.
At the same time, at this banquet, Li Kuan knew about the exchange of interests between the family and Li Shimin.
Li Shimin has 100% control over Datang's foreign trade in salt, tea and sugar.
The family got the privateer license, and Li Shimin opened his mouth to sell them weapons.
But at the same time, the family signed a letter of guarantee to Li Shimin in private, the privateer team is not allowed to enter the Tang Dynasty, at the very least, it is not allowed to enter the territory of the Tang Dynasty with weapons, based on the real-time border of the Tang Dynasty, once it is found, Li Shimin has the right to deal with the family involved in the privateer team for the crime of treason.
Privateers are already the equivalent of private soldiers in disguise.
This is something Li Shimin is unwilling to do, but has to do.
In Li Shimin's eyes, he gave the family hope that they could be driven out of the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible.
Let the strength of the family swell, and then give them the outside world, and the family will automatically go out.
According to the speculation of Li Shimin and his courtiers, when the family found that their strength had swelled enough to destroy a small country in the Western Regions, they would definitely go there and eat the benefits of destroying the country.
Li Kuan can already prove that Li Shimin's guess is right.
After the banquet that day, the second uncle of the Lu family personally found Li Kuan.
"Do you want to buy a batch of fine tea, sugar, salt, and weapons in private?"
"Do you want to hire a group of elite government troops from me?"
"Why is that?"
Li Kuan was shocked by the request made by the second master of the Lu family.
The second grandfather of the Lu family is called Lu Jing, he is fifty-two years old this year, which is theoretically the age when he should retire for the elderly, but now he is running around for the sake of the family's great cause.
"I'm going to the Western Regions to disturb the situation in the Western Regions, and at the same time to explore the situation in the Western Regions and prepare for the attack on the Western Regions in the future."
"My action this time was collectively discussed by the northern family, and the Li family in Taiyuan was also among them."
Ah this, hearing the name of the Li family in Taiyuan, Li Kuan was directly confused, what is the situation.
Lu Jing took out a letter of covenant and handed it to Li Kuan.
Li Kuan really found the family seal of the Li family in Taiyuan on it.
As for saying that this is a forgery, Li Kuan doesn't believe it, in the Tang Dynasty, some people will not die if they rebel, but if they make official seals privately and forge other people's family seals, the consequences are very simple.
The former, breaking mountains and cutting down temples, connecting nine tribes.
The latter, undying, frantically pursued until one side completely fell.
What makes Li Kuan puzzled is that the Li family in Taiyuan has not been converted into a royal family?
How can you still join it.
And why doesn't he know anything?
Lu Jing glanced at Li Kuan and explained softly: "This is something that can only be told to you through others. ”
Li Kuan said he would like to hear more about it.
Lu Jing said solemnly: "As soon as the topic of separation, the Taiyuan Li family began to have a tendency to reappear. ”
"As soon as this incident passed, Taiyuan Li completely appeared, and the current head of the family is your uncles, the biological children of the emperor."
"And a series of distant branches of the Taiyuan Li family have all merged into it to form the new Taiyuan Li family."
"I heard that even a few princes of the Li family, who were crowned kings, also joined in."
At this, Li Kuan's hand holding the teacup trembled in shock.
He had already guessed what Li Shimin was doing, and this was compensating Li Yuan in disguise.
Li Kuan suddenly thought of a question, when looking at history in his previous life, there were always some authors who could find a messy wild history, which said that the descendants of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji were not dead, and were hidden by some families to fight Li Shimin at a critical time.
Among them, Li Jiancheng's daughter is the most.
Li Kuan's head twitched, and he asked in a low voice: "I heard, I also heard that Prince Yin has descendants alive and is hidden." ”
Lu Jing didn't speak, just looked at Li Kuan quietly.
Gu Jing Wubo, the slightest confusion in his eyes made Li Kuan understand everything.
Sighing, Li Kuan did not reply to Lu Jing.
"Please also ask Lu Ye to rest here for a few days, and I will communicate with Chang'an before making a decision."
Hearing this, Lu Jing sighed in his heart, although the king of Chu is small, he is mature in mind and is not fooled.
Sending Lu Jing away, Li Kuan hurriedly found Yu Zhining and told all the conversations between the two.
This kind of thing, how can it be that he is in charge, even if he can be in charge, Li Kuan will not do it, this is not to give people a handle.
Li Kuan's behavior made Yu Zhining very satisfied, and at the same time, he also felt that Li Kuan was very smart.
Smart people never make small moves by themselves.
