According to Li Sui's request, Hou Yan and other nobles came to pay their respects.

Everyone looks down on Li Sui, a ragged aristocrat, who has gone to great luck and became the champion of the imperial examination, what ability can he have?

In addition to being young, he is still young, and although he has the name of the envoy, he will definitely leave in disgrace.

Hou Yan and the officials in the county guard mansion saluted each other and hugged each other's fists, although he didn't care about Li Sui, but he felt that Li Sui's trip must be because the king wanted to appease the above-mentioned painful and disadvantageous himself, so he deliberately said a few good words of kindness, so he didn't keep a straight face, and his face showed a smirk like an old Jianghu.

Everyone went in and sat down one by one, and Li Sui walked out slowly.

Li Sui was a little nervous, all the nobles present were nobles, he was just a dilapidated nobleman, but his identity as an envoy and a Dali temple official could not allow him to be weak.

Li Sui encouraged himself in his heart, and after sitting down, he said: "Licheng is located on the border, with Qiang and Rong as neighbors, but there is no war, the people's livelihood is stable, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which must be the credit of your cooperation." ”

Salute first and then soldier, Li Sui still understands, tearing his face at the beginning, no one can do it.

Not only did he defeat Rong Di, but when the Qiang people went south, they were also scared away by Jiang Junshou with a knife, if it wasn't for Jiang Junshou, the Qiang people would have robbed Licheng like they robbed Xiqi!"

The aristocratic lords coped with it one after another, and it was peaceful on the surface.

Hou Yan smiled even more: "Even those remnants of the Qiang people came to Licheng because of Jiang Junshou's martial arts, Jiang Junshou is like Optimus Prime in the Chaoge Palace, he holds the whole Li County's sky!"

Li Sui shook his head, this group of nobles will put Jiang Wenhuan in front, except for touting or touting, there is no nutrition.

didn't mention the business, and casually talked about the short atmosphere in the parents, Li Suicai said: "Jiang County Shou is enough to ensure that Li County is thorough, this is needless to say, this official is here, but not for Jiang County." ”

Li Sui's meaning was obvious, and the aristocratic lords looked a little embarrassed, they didn't expect to enter the topic so quickly.

Isn't it good to eat and take cards? Before getting down to business, let's eat, drink, and have fun for ten days and half a month? Hello, I'm good, everyone, and I'll be a little more cooperative, perfunctory, and it's over.

Hou Yan and the other nobles glanced at each other and saw the dissatisfaction in each other's hearts.

However, Li Sui made it clear, and they naturally had to respond.

Hou Yan said: "I don't know what the envoy is asking for?"

At this time, although he was dissatisfied, he was still confident, Li Sui came to Li County, that is, to do some face work, and then give grace to the king of Zhou, so he used "begging", after all, it was the king of Zhou who favored them and begged them to calm their anger.

"Hou Yan..." Li Sui paused, Hou Yan frowned, this call by his name made him very unhappy.

Li Sui continued: "The state has national laws, the family has family rules, there are no rules, there is no square circle, the new law has already convicted the nobles, and the human and material evidence is conclusive, how can the punishment be too strict and inhumane?"

Hou Yan was stunned by this question, why didn't he follow the routine?

Just come up and ask a question?

What about grace and power? Are you really not afraid of forcing people to be anxious?

The scene was extremely cold for a while.

Li Sui also froze in place, he was a little... Helpless.

And then what?

The king didn't explain!

Oh yes, there's the question of sin, but what the king said is that he is in control of whether or not to ask for sin, so now... Should we ask for sin? Hou Yan to the end.... Is there any sin?

Li Sui had one question after another in his mind, but no one could answer him, and his ability to adapt immediately was really insufficient.

Suddenly, he saw Yao Qi.

This man's face looked familiar.

Li Sui pointed at Yao Qi: "Who are you, and what does it have to do with Yao Quan?"

Yao Qi, who was hiding in the corner, found that the envoy had set his eyes on him, and his heart was half cold.

Hou Yan also looked at Yao Qi, Yao Qi was not qualified to appear here, but he thought that Li Sui was here to show grace, if Yao Qi was here, he could start the next lease land and wool workshop business immediately after Li Sui left, saving a lot of time, and one day faster, he would be able to earn a lot more.

"Just... It's my brother...."

Yao Qi replied honestly, Li Sui had already set his eyes on him, and obviously couldn't escape.

Li Sui said: "Your brother shouted that he was wronged and committed suicide in the soil. ”

"Since... Committed suicide...."Yao Qi chuckled in his heart, he and his brother were in charge of the Yao family's enclosure, and he ran away during the crackdown, but his brother didn't run away.

Li Sui was a little surprised, he went to investigate the grievances in the soil that day, although he didn't find anything wrong, but found a lot of fish that slipped through the net, and Yao Qi was one of them.

It's very simple to send Yao Qi into the earth, even now, you can take people directly.

Doesn't this have the next thing to do? No matter how the nobles of Li County express their attitude, they will first make an example of the chickens and monkeys to show the attitude of the imperial court!

Yao Qi thought quickly, he saw Li Sui's thoughts, he had come all the way to Licheng, and his life was finally nourished, so he couldn't just be arrested!

"You ....."

Li Sui pointed to Yao Qi and was about to exit, when Yao Qi said like a river: "I know the intention of the envoy!"

Li Sui: "???"

I don't even know why I came, but the edict of the king is a bit of... Obscure.

"Leasing land is really wrong. ”

With this sentence, Li Sui didn't think there was anything wrong, Hou Yan did frown, Yao Qi turned back at this time? Just to save his life? The problem is that it's useless for you to kneel and lick now!

"We're completely in the wrong direction, and renting land does give us more sheep and more wool coats, but it's not enough. ”

"Huh?"

Yao Qi pointed to the northwest and said, "The wool on the Qiang sheep is the most suitable for weaving woolen clothes, where is the most Qiang sheep?"

"Naturally, there are the most Qiang sheep in the hands of the Qiang people!"

"And the Qiang people don't know how to weave woolen clothes, and there must be a lot of shaved wool stocks every year, which are all materials for weaving woolen clothes!"

"Even if you raise sheep in a field, how long will it take to wait until those sheep grow wool and wait until they are raised on a large scale?"

"A year, two years, or even longer, so why not just grab it from the Qiang people?"

"Bo Yi Kao succeeded to the king of Qiang, the Qiang people will definitely be in the same stream with Xiqi, against my big business, it is really a trouble for my henchmen, if Your Majesty wants the world to be stable, he must take action against the Qiang people!"

"There's never been a better time!"

"Your Majesty ordered the envoy to come, it must be for such a big move!"

Yao Qi was sweating, he was gambling.

Bet on an opportunity to contain Li Sui and let Li Sui focus elsewhere.

There is nothing bigger than the conquest of the Qiang people, as long as Li Jun starts to conquest the Qiang people, Li Sui has no time to take care of it, and he has a chance to live.

Moreover, these days when he was in Licheng, he knew that Jiang Wenhuan, the county guard, and the remnants of the Qiang people wanted to attack Bo Yi Kao, and these people might support him.

The only trouble is that the imperial court has insufficient soldiers, horses, grain and grass, and these things can be provided by the nobles of Li County.

For example, the Hou family, where Hou Yan is located, has private soldiers and money, and has earned a lot of grain and grass through the previous woolen trade.

If these nobles were willing to provide soldiers, horses, grain and grass, they would only lack orders from the imperial court.

And Li Sui happened to be this order, although Yao Qi didn't know what the king ordered, but it was certain that Li Sui had considerable autonomy in Li County.
