Chapter 302;

Chapter 302: When the forest is big, all birds are all

Yongyangfang, located in the southwest corner of Chang'an City, finally welcomed some popularity in the evening. Pedestrians on the road, those who go home, those who visit friends...

The last row of this mansion in Yongyangfang is the second son of Cui Youfu, the head of the contemporary Qinghe Cui family, Cui Wang, a house in Chang'an City.

At this time, the hall of the main hall of the house was crowded. Looking around, there were more than 100 old men, more than 500 people, whispering to each other, and some were also related, close, and gossiping. In short, it was very lively.

Cui Wang, who was in the main position, was discussing urgently with his clan uncles Cui Zheng, Cui Panke, Wang Ting, Wang Ping, Wang Tan of the Wang clan of Taiyuan, Zheng Shiliang of the Zheng clan of Xingyang, Zheng Shijing, Zheng Shanguo, and Lu Congshan of the Lu clan of Fanyang, a group of people were discussing urgently.

Lu Jishan from the Lu family of Fanyang pretended to be polite with the people next to him, and listened to what the group of people over there were saying.

Lu Jishan agreed with the recent series of changes. He has posted many notices on the streets and alleys recently. Although he has not signed them, he has explained the general matter clearly.

Li Dalang foolishly handed over the part who brewed Wuliangye wine to the court's Ministry of Revenue.

Now the Ministry of Revenue has also come forward to confirm that this is true and that the brewing members must be distributed to each branch of the five surnames and Qiwang.

Not only did the meritorious nobles of the previous dynasty, and the wealthy families that had been accumulated over the years, now there is a win-win situation between the royal family and the five surnames and seven families, just like hundreds of years ago.

He had already passed the letter with his hometown leader Aye, who was leading him in his hometown. Aye was leading the seven elders of the Lu family from the second clan to Chang'an.

I have to personally participate in the auction conference held by the Ministry of Revenue next month. As for the purpose of the word auction, the Ministry of Revenue has not explained too much.

Everyone could not guess that the ultimate goal of the court was to do business with the court, which was absolutely impossible to escape.

The eldest brother of the leader of the Lu family was also on the way to come with Aye. The ridiculous son of the third sect, Lu Congshan, was still in a small heart, and the villain gathered to try to stop the family from participating.

Lu Jishan disdained this. He always felt that there was no good result when he was against the court and the royal family. Anyway, he had already persuaded the legitimate sons of the three families. If you father and son really want to cut off your own wealth, then no one can do it, and God will do it.

Lu Jishan crawled into the crowd and found the Cui family in Qinghe. He saw an elder of Cui family in the eldest house and a few clans of the third and second houses, whispering in the corner of the hall.

Lu Jishan had some contact with this group and had a temper, so he squeezed in and asked in a low voice;

"Elders and brothers, I wonder what you think of this liquor player?"

Cui Deling, the clan of the second family of Cui, replied in a low voice;

"I don't know about other branches of other houses and other branches. I am discussing this, but my second house in Cui's Qinghe family has already made a decision.

A few days ago, I have received a letter from my elder brother, and the elder brother of my family, is on his way to Chang'an.

It won’t be able to arrive in twenty days. I will tell me to explore the way first and figure out the market so that I can let my elder brother understand the past and after when I come.

I must participate in my second room. As for other rooms or other branches, whether to do it or not, I don’t have to ask more questions.

Or if you think that money is too much, it is not unfamiliar. The world is so big, but there are all kinds of birds. I can’t control others, hehe…”

Lu Jishan gave a thumbs up and returned softly;

"Uncle Cui is indeed wise. Our Fanyang Lu family, the eldest son of our family, is the same as you think. If you want to follow the Supreme and make some broth and taste it, I don't know how it tastes?"

The old man from the third house of Cui family next to him touched Hu Weixiao's beard and interjected;

"What does it taste like? Our families will know soon, but it is not enough to be treated by outsiders."

Seven or eight people piled up a piece of talking and laughing, only Cui Wang's uncle Cui Yueping frowned, and bowed his head and pondered without saying a word.

In the southeast corner of the hall, more than twenty or five-family parents of Qiwang branch gathered together and formed a circle.

Among them, Wang Xiangyuan, the largest branch of the Wang family in Taiyuan, whispered;

"Everyone, do you have any opinions? We are all branches of major surnames and are not from the sects. You can speak freely and don't have any worries. Peirong, please tell me first to give everyone a headline."

A man in his thirties and forties like a thin scholar said;

"Okay, since Brother Wang asked me to tell me, everyone knows my temper and I won't hide it anymore.

Our Langya Zheng family was separated from the Zheng family in Xingyang to the Qilu land for more than a hundred years now.

Although it is not a big surname, there are as many as thousands of people in this clan, with more than a hundred people, and they rely on the transaction of turbid wine and a few acres of thin fields to support them.

Unlike other homes, you can also get a few more items in silk, grain shops, carriages, etc.

I have tried the name of Wuliangye twice now. I won’t say much about it. If it was only sold in Chang'an,

I, Zheng Peirong, are not worried yet, but if I go to my Langya County to sell in the future, I, Zheng Peirong, can only take a thousand tribes of people to farm.

Therefore, the Zheng family in Langya has no other way to find except to follow the imperial court and participate in the recruitment of the Ministry of Revenue.

I can't pin the food, drink and survival plans of the more than 1,000 tribe members on the situation of confronting the imperial court.

If I participate in the Wuliangye component, I can continue to survive, but if I don’t participate, the spirits will be sold to Langya in the future.

All the wine shops in our Zheng family can only be closed. Is it true that they really go to farm?

So, if everyone discusses how to participate, I strongly agree. If we discuss confronting the court,

Please forgive me if you are guilty. Mr. Zheng dare not speak much. This situation ends today. I will go to find someone to inquire about the specific market tomorrow. I cannot accompany you anymore. Please forgive me if you are guilty."

Zheng Peirong finished speaking simply, holding hands to a dozen young and old people, bowing to each other.

The second largest branch of the Cui family in Boling, Cui Shi and Zheng Peirong, finished their words and quickly took over the conversation;

"Ninth brother, what you said, although your family only has turbid wine deals, who doesn't know that the turbid wine deals in the Zheng family in Langya are doing so well, so don't cry here and don't cry poor,

Your meaning is also understood by my brother. He is determined to follow the Ministry of Revenue.

Well, you and my brother have been in good terms for more than 20 years, and they have always been moving forward and retreating together. What do you think? Brother is still following you.

If you don’t talk much, it’s still the same rule. Just walk ahead and inform me to follow me later. Other families and some families don’t care. You can discuss it yourself. We brothers, that’s what we mean anyway.”

After Cui Shi finished speaking, he stood by his sworn brother Zheng Peirong and talked and laughed with Wang Xiangyuan and the other two.

Seven or eight of the parents of more than 20 branches approached the three without any hesitation, and some quietly took a few steps back and stood still.

There were twenty or thirty people just now, but they were divided into three camps. Some supported the court's Ministry of Revenue, and some firmly opposed it. The remaining eight or nine people were hesitant, so they had to stand a bunch of others and discuss carefully.

In this way, I was a good person in the hall. With a stick of incense, I divided it into more than a dozen parts. Some people were chatting and laughing, some were frowning, some gritting their teeth, and their expressions were different, which was extremely exciting.

The group of people in the top were also in the heated conversation. Lu Congshan, the third wife of the Lu family of Fanyang, knew the situation of his second gate, and strongly agreed to follow the court.

However, although I am the eldest son of the third wife, my family is not happy. Aye has been seriously ill for more than a year and is probably going back this year.

It is an important moment when I want to take over the position of the chief of the Third House. Should I follow the court or continue to confront the court?

He really didn't dare to make a decision easily, so he could only watch and listen to a group of people analyzing and discussing, wanting to see the situation before making a decision.

Cui Wang, the second son of Cui's eldest son of the Cui family in Qinghe, is the person in charge of Cui's words in Chang'an City. He speaks very importantly, and even some clan elders have to consider it carefully.

At this time, Cui Wang was staring at Cui Zheng and asked with a serious look on his face;

"Uncle Seventh, Uncle Sixteenth, my opinion has been finished. The court obviously lacks money to use it. He holds a knife to cut our necks.

I also inquired about the specific situation. Now that we can’t even get a lot of money in the warehouse of the Ministry of Revenue, we will dive in again. Isn’t that a lamb waiting to be slaughtered?"

Cui Zheng's son became a mortal enemy because of Li Yu's death. He supported Cui Wang's decision most. Cui Zheng said with a smile on his face;

"Don't worry, I'm not a fool. Today, all counties in the county are asking the court for money to build a charity warehouse.

The Ministry of Revenue was very stuck and didn't want to go out with a lot of money. A while ago, the Supreme plundered his private warehouse and then dealt with it.

Later, there was no way out, so I made some things in the harem and sent out some small things, which became open secrets.

Now who doesn't know that the court is short of money? At this time, Li Dalang took out half of the transaction of liquor and handed over to the Ministry of Revenue to confiscate, and promoted it to the founding county magistrate. It was really strange.

Others still said that Li Dalang was wise, but according to my investigation, Li Dalang was helpless."

Cui Zheng said this, lowered his voice again and whispered;

Do you know that the servants in our mansion have been paying attention to the affairs of Lantian. The day before yesterday, he came to the Ma News and said that Li Dalang was confused after receiving the order, which was so funny.

At 3 noon that day, he and Dai Boyang sent to the Ministry of Revenue, as well as the former Li Chang'an County Magistrate Bo, the cavalry commander Liu Wanquan, and the workshop chief Xiao Tong,

Several people sighed, and those who are thinking about their own hearts now, but they dare not be as heartbroken as before. It is so uncomfortable to leave. In the end, they are all drunk after eating reminders.

Think about it, is the court ruthless? He directly promoted Xiao Tong, the chief manager of the workshop, to the Ministry of Revenue, to continue to be responsible for the workshop responsibilities.

The general account room in Li Dalang's winemaking workshop, Bo Liuqi, the former Chang'an County Lord, became the head of the Ministry of Revenue.
