Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Lu Rou did not tell Li Tai whether the clothes donated by Daxingtai were sewn with secret edicts, but she told him something that was needed right now, which was the details of the Jingzhao Shi family.

The Shang Yuan family of historians had settled in the township for nearly a century, but the Jingzhao family of historians, who were more established in the township, only moved in in the past ten or twenty years.

"The Shi family was born in Gaoping Town, Benyuan Prefecture. He gained merit from the Ding Wanqi Chounu rebels, and his clan leader Shi Gui was awarded the governor of Yuan Prefecture. During the rebellion of Marquis Mo Chen Yue, Da Xingtai succeeded to lead the army, and Shi Gui Fu Yue, Gaoping, Li Wansui and other brothers conspired to kill him. After Hou Mo and Chen Yue were rebellious, the Wansui brothers and others became the governors of the territory, and the Shi clan members moved to Jingzhao..."

Gaoping Town is located in northern Shaanxi and eastern Longxi. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was used to prevent and control barbarians in Hexi. It was a military town like the Six Towns. During the early six-town rebellion, Hu Chen, a native of Gaoping Town, also raised his troops to rebel. After Hu Chen died in battle, Wanqi Chounu continued to lead the rebellion.

This rebellion lasted for several years and was not put down until Er Zhu Tianguang led He Bayue, Hou Mo Chen Yue and other Beizhen warriors to enter the pass.

This historian was able to serve as the governor of Yuanzhou after the rebellion was put down, which shows his great power. It was just bad luck that he was on the wrong team. When Hou Mo Chen Yue killed He Boyue, he chose to support Hou Mo Chen Yue, but he was replaced by Li from the same town.

Li Wansui is Li Yuan. The three brothers Li Xian, Li Yuan, and Li Mu can be said to be the best Guanlong heroes in the Western Wei Dynasty. They also have the trust of Yuwentai, and their relationship is even closer than that of Yuwentai and Wuchuan. Fellow folks.

When Li Tai heard Lu Rou calling Li Yuan by name, some scattered memories in his mind were suddenly disturbed. He pulled Lu Rou and asked: "Cousin, is Shi Jing who came to visit earlier a match? Is there any? Heir?"

"I only met him once in my cousin's residence. We are traveling here from Chang'an. Why should I take care of his family affairs?"

After hearing this, Lu Rou shook her head and said, but Li Tai couldn't help laughing, which made Lu Rou confused.

Before this, Li Tai really had little memory of the Jingzhao Shi family, but because of Li Yuan's word Long Live, he suddenly remembered the Sui Dynasty general Shi Long Live.

If he remembered correctly, Shi Wansui should be from the Shi family that moved from Gaoping Town to Beijing, and he was also the son of Shi Jing who visited before.

It's a bit funny to think about this. Shi Jing is Shi Gui's son, and Shi Gui was killed by Li Yuan's brothers. Li Wansui killed my father, so I called my son Long Live. This can be regarded as a spiritual victory method.

Winning ancient celebrities who have not yet made their fortune into their ranks in advance is also the basic operation of time travellers. Although Li Tai still doesn't know whether Shi Wansui exists now, he has already made the name Shi Jing bold and black in his mind.

However, this does not prevent him from blackmailing the Shi family. If the relationship is bad, he can deal with it slowly. If he misses this fat sheep, it will be difficult to find a more suitable one.

From this point of view, the historians of Jingzhao and the historians of Shangyuan may not have a conclusive relationship. They probably moved to Jingzhao from Gaoping Town and became relatives because they were eager to expand their hometown.

Just like party leader Zhao of Shangyuan boasted that he was related to Zhao Gui, although the Jingzhao historian's family was in decline, he still had the foundation of being a military leader in Gaoping Town. For the Shangyuan historian, he was still a person who needed to climb high.

Originally, Li Tai thought that the Shang Yuan historian had just donated a large amount of goods and then blackmailed them, but now there was a Jingzhao historian appearing to support them. It would be a shame for him not to kill a handful of them.

In the past, He Basheng might not be able to do it easily because of the weak power of others, and he might not be able to sway the historians in Jingzhao. But that historian himself is also in a lot of troubles, and Li Tai's current personnel relationship can just restrain them.

First of all, his cheap cousin Cui Quan was serving as the governor of Jingzhao Yin and Shuai. If the Jingzhao historians wanted to gain power through donations, they would not be able to bypass Cui Quan.

And the Li Yuan brothers, who have a deep hatred for their hometown, are now claiming their own power and are still trying to pretend to be the Li family of Longxi.

Li Tai happens to be a direct descendant of the Li family in Longxi, the most upright and popular person in Kansai. Based on this, it should not be difficult to talk to the Li Yuan brothers.

The more Li Tai thought about it, the more he felt that this Jingzhao historian was simply a fat sheep tailor-made for him. How could it happen that I could defeat you? It's a good thing that Shi Wansui was born and weaned, otherwise I might not have had diapers to change.

Lu Rou stayed overnight in the manor after being drunk, while Li Tai lit an oil lamp and stayed up late to compile a list of his own "losses" in preparation for negotiations with historians.

In the morning of the next day, members of the Shi clan came again. This time they were two middle-aged men they had never seen before, and Shi Gong, who was bare-armed and carrying a bundle of thorns on his back.

The clothes of these people were soaked with dew and stained with grass clippings. They must have been rushing here before dawn, which shows that they were in an urgent mood.

After the two exchanged names, Li Tai ignored Shi Gong, who was crying and pleading guilty. Instead, he looked at the two visitors from the Jingzhao historian and said with a smile: "I'm here today. Why don't you see Shi Lang, whom you met yesterday?"

"That bad officer believed in the rumors in the countryside and slandered my husband Qingsheng. After returning home, he was punished by his parents and apologized behind closed doors."

The person from Jingzhao's family glared at Shi Gong, who was kneeling aside in silence, and then spoke politely to Li Tai.

"Shi Lang, what is his crime? He is just being bewitched by evil spirits in his hometown. I haven't had time to thank him for helping my relatives get together. I will definitely thank him again when we get together again in the future!"

Li Tai said with a smile again. After hearing this, the faces of several historians suddenly darkened again.

After saying the polite words, Li Tai stopped being polite. He turned to Shi Gong and sneered: "I am neither as open-minded as the Lin family nor as honest and courageous in my actions, so there is no point in making this gesture. Since I came to the country, your family has repeatedly disturbed my livelihood and made me miserable." I have trouble sleeping and eating, and I even let some thugs invade my garden. If the people in the village were not brave, the family property may have disappeared. I may lose the virtue of the village if I am judged by the officials. Since I have come to see you, the business is to discuss compensation. The rest. There’s no need to show off your miscellaneous feelings!”

When Shi Gong heard this, a trace of embarrassment suddenly flashed across his brows. However, seeing the sharp dagger-like eyes of the two people from the Jingzhao family who were traveling with him, he still kowtowed on the ground and said: "A humble man from the countryside knows that he has committed a serious crime. But Li Lang If there is a rebuke, no servant dares to respond..."

The folks at the banquet who were still very proud the day before yesterday had to come to the door and show themselves as if they were being manipulated. Shi Gong felt miserable in his heart.

But now the decision-making power of the matter is no longer in his hands. When he asked the Jingzhao family to come forward, he thought that there was only He Basheng and the nominal Gao Zhongmi behind Li Tai. However, he did not expect that he would take the initiative to send more people. Friendship backstage.

Although He Basheng had a respected status in the Western Dynasty, he was not too involved in such rural struggles. Gao Zhongmi lost his power and was demoted, which was not a big concern.

But they did not dare to underestimate Cui Quan, who was in charge of Jingzhao Yin. Cui Qian is the most important executive official in the Jingzhao area when Daxingtai issues the reward package this time. It is related to whether the Shi family who moved to Jingzhao can regain power, so they cannot tolerate any mistakes.

"I am neither a wise elder in the village nor a government official, so I can't talk about reducing my responsibilities. But your family has damaged my garden, and I have to make compensation!"

Li Tai took out the list he had drawn up last night and handed it to Shi and others.

After the two Shi clan members at the table read the list, their brows twitched and their faces looked unnatural, but they didn't say anything and just handed the list to Shi Gong again.

"This, so much? Impossible, no..."

When Shi Gong saw the contents of the list, he jumped up from the ground in fright, looked at the two Jingzhao Shi clan members and trembled: "Two uncles, although I am sincere in accepting punishment, but... this... Li Lang, Li Lang The name he issued is really hard to save!"

Seeing Shi Gong being so excited, the two of them couldn't accept Li Taishi's blackmail, so they stood up and said, "Nostalgia is about peace, not contention. We are here today, and we have a solution." The sincerity of the dispute, but can Lang Jun..."

"Why, do you think I am relying on this to make a profit? I would like to ask you two, whose family relies on this to support their family? But if his slaves are kept safe in the house, how can I ask for compensation? For stepping on my grain field, He damaged my farmhouse and killed my villagers, but I still tolerated it and did not harm any of his evil slaves.”

Seeing the pretense, Li Tai stood up angrily and said, "Does he want too much?"

It only requires three thousand dan of grain, a hundred craftsmen, thirty oxen and horses, five hundred bolts of silk, and some bricks, tiles, and wood. It is much cheaper than Daxingtai.

"The former Shi Jing attacked me. Many of the farm fields were trampled, and several hectares of seedlings were destroyed. They are now spread out to dry in the fields. The villagers' tendons are broken and broken, and they are lying in shacks. You can see it! Come and get two sets of counters. I will take a few people with you. Is it really a false claim to enter the field?"

A few hectares of beetroot seedlings had just been cut in the fields and were ready to be planted in the air to grow wheat. The large estate with "more than 500 people" now only had more than 300 people left. When Li Tai said this, he immediately felt that the price he was asking was still too low. .

"It's not necessary, it's not necessary! It's just that the information in the household is newly transferred to the state, and there is really a lack of savings. Can, can it be slightly discounted, or, or can the payment be extended every year?"

Two members of the Jingzhao Shi family said with embarrassed expressions.

"I can give you ten days to raise the money, but it must be paid before the month. Because in August I will go to Yizhou to visit Mr. Li and ask him to help me search for the whereabouts of my beloved. I will not be in my hometown."

When several people heard this, their faces turned pale. The title Li Shijun has a very broad meaning, but if the limitation of Yizhou is added, it can only refer to Li Yuan who was ordered to guard the states in western Henan after the Battle of Mangshan!

The hatred of the villagers was especially strong against the enemy. When they were in Gaoping Town, the Shi family was slightly more powerful than the Li family. But nowadays, the Li brothers are becoming more and more prominent, while the historians who moved to Jingzhao are deteriorating. Therefore, historians urgently want to use Daxingtai to collect materials to gain some momentum in order to protect themselves.

"Since Mr. Lang has said this, he would like to know the story of his hometown. After a great disaster, it is not easy to survive. I beg you, Sir, to show mercy. My family will definitely raise money before the month!"

The two Jingzhao historians looked at each other, no longer daring to bargain, and said to Li Tai with a long bow.

These words sounded a bit pitiful, but Li Tai didn't really want to put his family to death.

At the end of the day, whoever flirts first is a cheap person and will be beaten to death without any resentment. If the Shi family hadn't taken the initiative to provoke him, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to this family. After all, there were so many big goals in front of him.
