Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3079 The deal is reached
During the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties, most of the northern lands were occupied by the Hu people. Years of melee fighting left the pastures dilapidated. After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, there was a shortage of war horses.

Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was born in the Xianbei aristocrats, and he was backed by the Guanlong aristocrats. Even so, the country still lacked war horses due to years of war.After the founding of the country, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty reformed the horse administration, allowing the people to raise horses, and the imperial court gave a certain amount of subsidies, and gathered horses for war and exchanged them for money and food.

This policy continued until after the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Although it was never issued in a national decree, the popularity of horse breeding among the people directly led to an abundance of war horses. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, many wars were launched in succession, and there was never a shortage of horses. .

Although Shandan Racecourse, Guanshan Racecourse and other horse breeding places were all included in the territory of the empire, and the horse administration had almost reached its peak since the Han and Wei dynasties, folk horse breeding still prevailed.

Many aristocratic families even circled pastures in various places and raised war horses for the needs of the army.

The Turks and Xue Yantuo fell one after another, and the Tuyuhun and other clans were all included, which made the northern frontier of the Tang Dynasty more stable than ever before, and made the animal husbandry industry develop by leaps and bounds. The horse farms in Guanzhong, Hexi, Hetao and other places with more than thousands of war horses are not counted. its number.

Therefore, His Majesty Li Er personally drove to conquer Goguryeo, and immediately gathered more than [-] cavalry troops with an order, gathered like a cloud, and arrived suddenly.

However, although the imperial government's policies made it profitable to raise war horses, and even became one of the most important sources of income for many aristocrats, the root cause that restricted the development of the horse breeding industry was the shortage of manpower.

All walks of life, in order to achieve long-term development, must have high-quality talents with favorable policies, both of which are indispensable.

Most of the best horse breeders in the country are in Taipu Temple.

Because the Fang family is in charge of the navy, overseas trade is very prosperous, and the trade of war horses is the most famous in the Tang Dynasty.Every year, countless war horses are traded from Dashi and other countries with silk, glass, tea and other materials, and they are raised in horse farms scattered all over the country. However, due to the shortage of talents, they have not been able to develop well.

So Wu Meiniang asked Jingzhao Wei's children to serve as ministers of the Taipusi, and Li Chongyi knew that the Fang family had decided to recruit people from the Taipusi. The racecourse has obtained the most important talent support.

Not only secretly admired her in her heart, but this charming and weak woman is really powerful. If the weight is knocked down, no matter how heartbroken the Wei family is, they have to obediently cooperate...

Wei Ting naturally understood Wu Meiniang's intentions, and his heart was bleeding with pain.

Although Jingzhao Wei is a powerful family in Guanzhong, he has not made any achievements in politics since he entered the Tang Dynasty, which led to a false name but no real power in his hands.

Wei Shuang, Minister of the Taipu Temple, is already considered a first-class official in the family, and the Taipu Temple in his hands is much more powerful than his Taichang Temple.However, right now, they have to consider allowing the Fang family's influence to infiltrate the Taipu Temple, or even replace it.

But what can I do?

Jingzhao Wei has made great efforts in the past few years. If he wants to make progress in the court, he has to rely on the outstanding children of the clan.Wei Zhengju counts as one, and Wei Juyuan, who is only 16 years old from Jingzhao Wei's Yungongfang, is also counted as one. These two are the children who are highly respected by the whole family. They hope that they can stand on top of the court in the future and compete for the interests of the family.

This Miss Wu had figured out that the Wei family would not abandon Wei Zhengju easily, so she slapped him hard.

This made Wei Ting anxious, but he had to reluctantly agree...

Wei Ting forced a smile and said, "That's right. I heard that the Fang family has several horse farms and more than ten thousand horses. If there is any difficulty, you might as well ask Wei Shuang to help. They are all on their own, so you don't need to be polite."

Since it is a condition raised by others, if you don't agree to it, you have to agree, so don't wait for others to speak, just agree to it yourself.

There is a big difference between active and passive.

Wu Meiniang's bright eyes sparkled, and she clapped her hands and said happily: "That's really a good thing! Earlier, Cheng Wuzhong wanted to seek the position of Taipusi, and Erlang was planning to discuss it with the ministers of the Zhengshitang, but he was afraid of making Taipusi feel bad. There is a estrangement. Since Taichangqing said so, Cheng Wuzhong will be an official in Taipusi in the future, so he has to ask Taipusi to take care of him, his own people!"

Wei Ting almost put his hand on his forehead, this bitch is too dark!
He thought that the Fang family was just coveting the various professional personnel of the Taipu Temple, but he didn't expect that they were interested in the resources of the entire Taipu Temple.Who is Cheng Wuzhong?That is the younger brother of Fang Jun's number one thug, Cheng Wuting. His father, Cheng Mingzhen, is now accompanying His Majesty to conquer Goguryeo and serve in the army. Satisfied?
With Fang Jun's ambition and courage, I am afraid that he is seeking the horse administration system of the entire Taipu Temple...

If it was just Wei Zhengju, Wei Ting should say something politely at this time, and then stand up and leave.The Taipu Temple is one of the few government offices with real power in the Wei family. If the Fang family is allowed to enter, it may not be long before it will be "occupied by magpies' nests and doves", and the entire Taipu Temple will become the base of the Fang family.

But Wei Zhengju is only one aspect after all, the most important thing is whether Fang Jun can dispel the idea of ​​taking the opportunity to suppress the Wei family. Compared with the unpredictable risks that the entire Wei family is about to face, the mere Taipusi seems not so important.

At the very least, even if the Fang family wants to seek the full power of the Taipusi, the Wei family is not completely defenseless...

This lady Wu not only has a dark heart, but also has a good vision.

It made Wei's family feel heartbroken, but he couldn't bear to refuse. What else could Wei Ting do besides submit obediently?
He forced a smile and said: "Ms. Wu is right. The Cheng family is the loyal ministers, and the Fang family is the pillar of the empire. It is Jingzhao Webster's honor to be able to work with the two families. Turning around, the old man asked someone to inform Wei Shuang. In the future, I will definitely contact Cheng Wuzhong more to contribute to the empire's horse administration and live up to His Majesty's trust."

The posture is very low, and the attitude is very good.

Wu Meiniang smiled like a flower, looked at Princess Gaoyang and said, "What do you think, Your Highness?"

Princess Gao Yang glanced at Wu Meiniang, who smiled like a fox who stole a chick, and slandered in her heart, this person is really calculating, he bit off half of the Wei family's fat in the Taipu Temple at once. How can I scold her...

On the face, he still had a dignified and virtuous look, smiled reservedly, and said: "I don't bother to take care of these vulgar things. But Cheng Wuzhong has a good relationship with Lang Jun, and Lang Jun often talks about it at home. Now I can I am naturally pleased to have a good future. Tai Changqing, you have a heart."

This can be regarded as tacit consent to Wei Ting's request to come here today.

Both Li Chongyi and Wei Ting heaved a sigh of relief. Although the price was not small, they achieved their goals anyway.And judging from Princess Gaoyang's attitude, "Baiqisi" did not obtain much evidence against Jingzhao Webster, otherwise, how dare Wu Meiniang use public weapons for private use and make an agreement with the Wei family in private?

Allowing the Fang family to enter the Taipu Temple and share the preferential treatment of the imperial horse administration, but also confirming that the family will not be affected by Wei Hongguang's death this time, is a worthwhile trip.

Wei Ting said: "I just don't know, where is the Duke of Yue now? After all, it is better for the Duke of Yue to speak, otherwise if the people below misunderstand the meaning of the Duke of Yue, it will be very bad."

Without Fang Jun, he just agreed, and he was still a little worried.

After all, Princess Gao Yang is notoriously lazy to meddle in affairs, no matter how powerful Wu Meiniang is, she is just a concubine after all...

Princess Gao Yang understood Wei Ting's worry, but she was still a little upset.

Bengong is just too lazy to take care of things, but he is not qualified to make decisions. Let alone Wei Zhengju, even if he is a person who is ten times more important, as long as Bengong speaks, not only the husband will not object, but even the father-in-law will not object. Fang Xuanling would also nod in agreement.

Who do you look down on?
The smile on his face faded a little, and he said slowly: "Don't worry, Tai Changqing, how have we ever regretted what the Fang family promised? It's not early, and there is no male master in the mansion. It is inconvenient for me to entertain guests. Please go back." .”

Li Chongyi glanced at the embarrassed Wei Ting, and said in his heart that you really don't know the depths, you only know that Fang Jun is a stick, could it be that you have forgotten that His Highness is also a bad tempered person?
Showing distrust in person, isn't this offending people...

He hurriedly said: "It's my humble minister who was rude, so I'll take my leave. If there is a flaw in the day, I will come to the mansion to thank His Highness again."

Wei Ting also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and regretted it in his heart, he got up and said: "My minister said something unscrupulously, I hope His Highness will forgive me."

Wei Hongbiao remained silent all this time, seeing that the matter was settled and he was about to leave, he said, "His Royal Highness, when we come out of the house, the Patriarch has prepared a few small gifts. It is not a respect to honor His Highness."
