Datang Longya

Chapter 967
Regardless of whether what Li Shimin said was a reminder or a warning, since what he said was right, he had to listen.

It was already evening when we got home, and Lao Yuan and Lao Li were at the door directing the servants to move things home.

"what are these?"

Looking at the boxes of things, Leng Feng was very puzzled.

The old man opened his toothless mouth and said with a smile: "My lord, these are things that the local government pays tribute to the royal family. Whether it's tea or brocade, they are all one in a million. His Majesty felt that he didn't need so much, so he gave it to the Supreme Emperor and us. The family sent some."

Leng Feng nodded, walked into the house without checking these things.

Since Li Chengqian succeeded to the throne, he has never issued an imperial edict to the Leng family. Even if there is something to do, it is usually in the form of a letter.When getting along in private, he never mentioned the self-proclaimed "Zhen" to Leng Feng.

Knowing his thoughts, he was always afraid that his master would really let go of Datang, and even lead his family to retire, so he always showed his sense of existence.Just like Zhuzhou Lushang not long ago, if the cold front does not come out of the mountain, it is estimated that there will be many detours in order to solve it.If there are not enough survivors, even if the court dispatches, it will not be praised by the people.

Leng Rui has already learned the elementary knowledge thoroughly, and seeing that he is always hesitant to speak recently, Leng Feng knew that he wanted to study in the Academy of Arts.The current Academy of Arts has completely turned into an institution of higher learning after separating out the elementary teaching.People from Guozijian and Hongwenguan went to the empty building, only a few great scholars guarded the empty courtyard and sighed.

Scholars are all cheap, the harder it is to get, the more flocking to them.The enrollment of Guozijian Hongwen Museum has dropped again and again, and it is almost said that "anyone can come".However, literati still would rather go to the liberal arts college to get a barely passing diploma than go to study.

Leng Rui has delivered tea to Dad for the fourth time
Watching his son fill the empty teapot with water, Leng Feng sighed, put the book on the table, and said, "Stinky boy, I know you want to study in the liberal arts academy, but you are a little behind in age. Although the Academy of Arts does not allow early admission, but if you enter with the title of a genius, you must be looked at by others. Your father and I have retired, and what our family needs is a low profile."

Leng Rui rubbed his fingers, and said sullenly: "Your child knows, but you do. I just like reading and studying. If I don't enter the liberal arts college, why should I go these few years?"

Leng Feng pointed to the stool for him to sit down, and said with a smile: "Of course it's a joke. Your elder brother has been honest since he was a child, but you can't do it. As the second son of the family, or a concubine, all you have to do is to be a playboy for a while. Our family's expenses are small, and a large amount of property is recorded in the account every year. Last year, the Zhuzhou disaster caused our family to find an opportunity to spend money. In the past few years, you should find a way to spend money."

Leng Rui knew that the so-called "concubine" mentioned by his father was an outsider's opinion. In fact, there was never a distinction between a concubine and a concubine in the family.In terms of rules, he is the same as the eldest brother, even if they fight, the result of the disposal is [-] boards each.The bastards of other people's families are all dandies, so do they have to be dandies when they come to their own?
Seeing his son contemplating, Leng Feng said softly: "I said before that the property in the Western Regions of Chang'an belongs to your elder brother, and the industries such as the steel plant, sea canal and river transport belong to you. Go out and ask, which property has determined the heir so early ?However, the inheritance I prepared for you is not for you to inherit empty-handed, but for fear that you will starve.

In the past few years, you have used the family money to squander casually. It doesn't matter if you squander, the important thing is that you have to create your own property.The family property I bought with my own hands is definitely more honorable than the one I left for you, my father.At that time, when your sister gets married, you, the eldest brother, can add a dowry to her, which is so enviable. "

Only then did Leng Rui smile: "Since you said so, my son will go squandering."

Seeing that this kid was about to run out excitedly, Leng Feng hurriedly called to him: "It's agreed, you can spend money, but you kid, don't go to places like brothels and gambling houses, or be careful that I will smoke with your mother." you."

Leng Rui agreed before leaving the study.

Not long after Leng Rui left, Xiao Cai sneaked in with mischievous eyebrows, and said with a smile: "This is at our house, if it is at someone else's house, Xiao Rui will fight the world with bare hands."

Leng Feng took a sip of tea and smiled helplessly: "What the Supreme Emperor said today is more of a reminder than a warning. After thinking about it, I realized that what he said actually makes sense."

The aristocratic family is actually similar to the royal family, both of which are similar to centralized power.Only the direct line is the backbone, and if the collateral line wants to draw on the power of the family, it can only choose to become a vassal like a retainer.Such a result makes it difficult for small families to grow up, and big families will fall apart immediately when encountering big events.

The best way to deal with this situation is to separate the family and let the blood of the family spread.After Leng Jing and Leng Rui separated, one patriarch would be Leng Jing and the other would be Leng Rui, and they would not interfere with each other.However, no matter which side they develop, they can't change their identity as the Leng family.

The same clan, although they are a little bit distant, will definitely take care of each other when encountering difficulties.In this way, although the Leng family can't become a top-notch clan, they can pass on their blood in a leisurely way.

Recently, a strange thing has happened in the rich circle of Chang'an, suddenly there is a Leng family in the rich circle of Zhang Wang, Li Liu and others.

Everyone knows that Leng Rui is the second son of Duke Hu Guo, but they are rarely seen.The dandies originally thought that this guy was as serious as his elder brother, but they didn't expect this guy to entertain all the dandies as soon as he appeared, and he didn't hesitate to pay for it.

My family is rich!

Such a sentence made the dandies smile and accepted this new dandy generously.

Horse races on Zhuque Street, boat races on the Weishui River, and even brought their families into the Qinling Mountains for a meal. The barren hills were set ablaze, two hills were burned bald, and several acres of land of the people were burned.

The emperor was furious, but he couldn't do anything cruel to his younger brother. He could only order him to pay for the land. As long as he bought those two hills and those acres of land, he could burn it however he liked.

The dandies originally thought it was over this time, and their legs would probably be discounted, but all the pressure was borne by Leng Rui alone, and they didn't share the money for buying the land.

Once the turmoil was over, the dandies were so grateful that they took Leng Rui as the boss as they should, and Leng Rui became the biggest in the dandy circle for a while.

Leng Feng was a little worried at first, but after listening to the report that there were coal mines under the two barren mountains, he ignored it, and occasionally let his retainers go out to spread rumors about Duke Hu being angry and jumping.
