Chapter 209: Lu Chen's Fate
Liu Tai was very satisfied with this family meeting, showing his attitude towards the family and setting the tone for the relationship with the family.
The most important thing is to pull the Maison on board through the Grand Canal project, and in any case, at least find a way to get along with the Maison.
Regardless of whether the family needs more in the future, or if they want to suppress the family, at least for now, the two sides have a channel to seek common ground while reserving differences.
The family was also very satisfied, after all, they were really frightened by the attitude that Liu Tai had always shown.
Although the conditions put forward by Liu Tai this time are harsh, for the family, as long as there are rules in such troubled times, even if the rules are not conducive to the family, it is much better than the alien race who has no rules at all and speaks purely with a knife.
If there is a choice, who doesn't want to be a Han person, but a dog to a Hu person!
After all, the family plays the rules, is he still afraid that Liu Tai will not play the rules with him, he is afraid that Liu Tai will not play the rules!
As long as there are rules, the family said that even if they can't find the loopholes now, as long as they concentrate on research, they will definitely be able to find the loopholes, even if the rules have no loopholes, but the people who implement the rules are people, and someone has loopholes!
Therefore, the family also accepted the olive branch handed by Liu Tai.
After all, taking 10,000 steps back, what Liu Tai represents is the interests of the Han groups in the Xiongnu Han Kingdom.
In the case of choice, they are still more willing to choose Liu Tai than Shi Le.
Even if Shi Le is a person who wants to be reasonable, but not all the people under Shi Le are reasonable.
Except for a few people, the vast majority of Han people are second-class citizens in front of the Qian.
Don't say it, there is a man named Guo Rong who married his sister to Shi Hu, but Shi Hu killed Guo Rong's sister because of a few words from his concubine Zheng Cherry.
Spoiling concubines and killing wives is simply unbelievable in Han culture.
Even if the concubine is favored, it is only the property of the master's family, and it belongs to his wife who disposes of it at will.
But the problem is that for the Qian people, they don't have this idea at all, and Shi Hu doesn't feel that there is any difference between the wife he is marrying and the concubine.
In addition, the Qiang people themselves are too rare, even among the miscellaneous beards, they are not famous at all.
Even if there is a person like Shi Le, Shi Le wants to increase the number of his own clan, but he finds that he can't even form a pure army of the Qiang tribe.
So Shile changed his mind and changed the Karma from an ethnic group to an identity.
To put it simply, as long as you do a good job in the miscellaneous hu, you can be absorbed into the karma and become a part of the karma.
As for the Han people, as long as they have made meritorious deeds, they can also be transformed from Han people to Han people.
However, this kind of thing has not been done yet, because at this time, although the Han people were second-class citizens under Shi Le, they at least had to face it, but when Shi Le became Hou Zhao, the Han people began to change from Han to Qian.
All in all, at least at this time, the family felt that it was not bad to at least join Liu Tai's forces compared to joining the Shile forces.
After all, under Liu Tai's power, the two sides are more or less equal people, but in Shile's forces, except for a very small number of Han people, the vast majority of Han people are born dwarves when facing the Qian people.
At this time, the Han people were not remotely cultivated, and there was no confusion that the backward civilization met the advanced civilization at the end of the Qing Dynasty.
To tell the truth, every Han family looks down on the Qian people from the bottom of their hearts and regards them as barbarians.
If there is no force to compete with Shile, then a little succumbing will also give in, and there is no shame in succumbing to reality.
But now Liu Tai and Shi Le obviously don't deal with each other, as long as they are in the family of Liu Tai's realm, they can't really live, who is willing to be a dog for Shi Le!
Of course, in addition to Liu Tai and the family, even Wen Qiao felt that he had gained a lot.
Don't say it, with the smooth implementation of Liu Kun's strategy of befriending Liu Tai, I can be sure that Liu Tai is really willing to make friends with Liu Kun.
Especially Liu Tai is willing to take the initiative to provide armor, which is a resource that Liu Kun desperately needs.
Wen Qiao just wanted to return to Jinyang as soon as possible and tell Liu Kun the good news.
Liu Tai is willing to exchange armor for materials and even talents, and he must grasp it no matter what.
Everyone won, everyone didn't suffer, and only Chen Yuanda, who hurried back to Qingzhou, didn't catch up with this World Family Conference.
By the time he rushed back from Pingyang with Liu Tai's reward, the family conference had ended.
The family has also hurried home, although they have not obtained a specific number, but they have also obtained an estimated number from Guo Pu.
These digital money and grain are not a small amount even if they are distributed among each family.
The only thing to be thankful for is that Liu Tai collects gold and silver, grain, and even forced labor, which can be counted as money and grain shares.
Therefore, these families should go back and think carefully, so as not to be unable to come up with money and food when they get it.
It's just that Chen Yuan reached Linzi and announced Liu Cong's reward to Liu Tai.
still didn't mean to give Liu Tai the title of king, or the Duke of Laiyang County has not changed.
However, Liu Tai was given two more county fiefs, and he was given the general of Zhendong, the governor of Qingzhou, the military governor of Youzhou, Qingzhou, and Pingzhou, and the governor of Jizhou.
Obviously, Liu Congmingbai and Liu Tai have completely become the climate after defeating Wang Jun and have become an independent force.
As long as Liu Cong's IQ is normal, then Liu Cong will not persecute Liu Tai, but choose to appease Liu Tai.
The right to open the government and build a tooth that Liu Tai wanted was also justifiably granted to Liu Tai, and Liu Tai was given full authority to handle the affairs of these four states.
Of course, Liu Cong knew in the end that although Liu Tai was given the identity of the governor of Jizhou, the position of Jizhou Assassin was ready to be handed over to Shi Le.
And Jizhou is the wrestling point selected by Liu Cong for the two, if Liu Tai loses Jizhou, then Youzhou and Qingzhou do not care about each other, if Shile loses Jizhou, there will be no foundation at all.
Liu Cong maintained the checks and balances between the two sides in the end, but this kind of checks and balances was a little ridiculous in Liu Tai's opinion.
Because I don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional, my own Grand Canal plan itself has a game-changing effect.
When the North Canal in Youzhou is successfully built, you will be able to smoothly contact Youzhou City through the Bohai Sea, and the impact of the loss of Jizhou will be minimized.
Even under the attack from the north and south, it may be possible to completely annihilate Shile's main force in Jizhou.
Anyway, Liu Tai's positioning of Jizhou has always been a battlefield, and he has long been ready to build the entire Jizhou from scratch.
If the process of his own canal reaches the north-south connection, then it is not Shile who will fight him, but Shile himself.
The grain produced by himself can be transported to Nanpi through this canal, and then Shile is afraid that he will no longer be able to sleep well in Wei County.
Chen Yuanda finished reading Liu Cong's holy decree, and Liu Tai respectfully completed the procedure.
Chen Yuanda looked at Liu Tai's meticulous posture, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
To be honest, if it weren't for his own work in Liu Tai's political group, it would be difficult for Chen Yuanda to believe that Liu Tai, who had no disrespect for the Xiongnu Han State in his behavior, and even upheld the procedural justice of the Han Dynasty, had the intention of rebellion.
When these things were done, Chen Yuanda looked at Liu Tai and said:
"When I came to Linzi, I heard that the county prince had summoned the families of Youqing and Hebei states to discuss the construction of a canal from Youzhou to the Yellow River, but I didn't know if it was true or not?!"
Although Chen Yuanda couldn't see the pros and cons clearly, after all, the impact of such a large project was difficult for even the wisest sages in the world to think of.
Don't say it, Yang Guang communicated with the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the Grand Canal was really used in history, and it was not until after the Anshi Rebellion that the Tang Dynasty court at that time understood the life-sustaining role of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
So now Liu Tai proposes to build the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, in Chen Yuanda's view, it is a waste of manpower and tossing.
"It's true!" Liu Tai nodded and said, "Uncle Cao has already gone to the north to survey, at least the section from Youzhou to Jinkou to the Bohai Sea will be able to start this year."
Next, it depends on whether the family in Youzhou is willing to donate generously, if they are willing, they will be able to cultivate in the next year.
If you don't plan to join, then at the latest in three years, I think there will be results! ”
Chen Yuanda looked at Liu Tai's calm and unhurried appearance, and couldn't help but speak, "Are these families really so easy to talk to?" ”
"At first, it was naturally difficult to speak, but after this section of the Grand Canal was built, I believe they were very good at talking!" Liu Tai looked at Chen Yuanda and replied quite confidently.
Because Liu Tai understands the significance of this canal better than others.
The project of the entire waterway is a section by section, and the construction project is basically determined according to the two major water systems of the Haihe River.
Construct the corresponding canals one by one, instead of directly letting the family take out all the money and food.
Therefore, when the northern canal from Youzhou to Jinkou in the north smoothly showed its value, and after seeing the benefits brought by the ships being able to reach Youzhou City directly from Linzi, Liu Tai, who was still hesitant, was afraid that they would borrow money to press the whole family!
After all, as long as something like the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal comes out, it is destined to become a golden canal that is destined to become the lifeblood of China.
If you can't see through the benefits of the canal construction at first, it's easy to say, but if you see the benefits of the North Canal, all that remains is the question of how much to invest.
To be honest, the family actually has a very strange character, that is, stubbornness and conservatism.
Especially if the ancestor who founded the family in their family made a millennium plan, they would definitely be stubborn and no matter the cost to promote this plan.
As for the reason, this is a plan for the inheritance of the ancestors, and it took our family thousands of years to finally realize it, so that we can comfort the ancestors!
Yes, it's so outrageous, but it's so in line with the Maison's values.
For example, the story of Yugong moving mountains.
This story comes from "Liezi", but "Liezi" is different from the style of the Warring States Period, and the evidence is more inclined to believe that it is the people of the Wei and Jin dynasties who gathered and conjugated the Qin and Han classics, and attached Yiwei books and Buddhist scriptures, which became the eight articles of "Liezi", and the fifth article of Yugong moving mountains.
For the family, respect heaven and earth first, respect the ancestors second, and as for the monarch, they must be in the back row.
Especially after the Sima clan, "Fu Wei Shengchao rules the world with filial piety", without the trouble of loyalty, they are even more energetic to promote the plan of the ancestors.
Therefore, as long as the family that has not completely degenerated finds that the benefits of this thing are enough for their family inheritance to continue to reap profits, that kind of terrifying posture that burns out will definitely make the world truly realize what a family is.
In this section of the North Canal, to be honest, Liu Tai doesn't think that any family will contract the construction consumption of a county.
But when this section of the North Canal is opened, the ship can only enter Youzhou City directly from the Jinkou of the Bohai Sea, and the family is not blind at that time, and must know that the profits brought by the occupation of a Jinkou will be brought by them.
When the time comes, these guys will be more active than themselves in attacking the private ports along the coast.
For the family, grabbing money from the court and snatching food from one's own mouth are two concepts, who dares to underestimate the family of this era, it is a joke with life.
It's just that at this moment, Fan Yang Lu and Wen Qiao are on the boat together.
Because the area that Liu Kun is now in charge of is still bordering Liu Tai in Youzhou, which is also the basis for Liu Tai and Liu Kun to trade.
At the same time, this road is also the safest for Wen Qiao, so they walked with Fan Yang Lu's family.
Because they were free on the ship, the head of the Fan Yang Lu family pulled Lu Chen and talked to each other.
The most important thing is that the head of the Fanyang Lu family revealed to Lu Chen intentionally or unintentionally, since Liu Tai values you, can you stay by Liu Tai's side.
As long as you stay by Liu Tai's side, although the Fanyang Lu clan doesn't have much money, they are absolutely willing to contract Liu Tai's canal expenditure in Fanyang County as your advancement step, so that you can bring capital into the group and become a political rookie around Liu Tai!
Yes, in Fan Yang Lu's view, if he directly threw money into the Grand Canal, then Fan Yang Lu would definitely not dare, he was a scholarly heirloom, where did he get so much money and food.
But if Fan Yang Lu has a political investment target by Liu Tai's side, then he can use Fan Yang Lu's prestige.
One is to contact the local family, and the other is to advocate the local people to raise donations for the construction of the canal, and the people's money will ...... Ahem, I'm getting used to it.
All in all, it's just that Fanyang County's money and food, and even the manpower Fan Yang Lu clan can handle it, but it depends on the question of whether it's worth it, that is, whether Lu Chen is willing to take refuge in Liu Tai's side.
After all, the family in this era is influential, and more importantly, if Lu Chen didn't participate in the transaction between Wen Qiao and Liu Tai, it would be okay, but he participated in the transaction between Liu Tai and Wen Qiao.
Under such circumstances, Lu Chen felt that if he sold himself, he could exchange it for armor for Liu Kun, and it seemed that it was not impossible.
After all, there are too many entanglements of interests, and it is difficult for Lu Chen to make up his mind for a while.
Regarding this, the head of the Fan Yang Lu family also said to Lu Chen, don't mind, think about it after you go back.
This time, Fan Yang Lu is willing to invest in you, not only because Liu Tai values you, but more importantly, you saved Fan Yang Lu's life.
So it doesn't matter if you don't agree, although it is the family's wishes, I hope you can think clearly before making a decision.
The head of the Fan Yang Lu family is also an understanding person, and he knows that if Lu Chen chooses Liu Tai for the interests of the family, he chooses Liu Tai out of his own will, which is not the same thing at all.
Even if the former brings capital into the group, he can only be regarded as an official with about 2,000 stones, but if it is the latter, Lu Chen may be mixed into Liu Tai's inner circle.
Liu Tai, who has mastered the land of Sanzhou and drawn a red line with the family, has investment value for the family.
