Northern Dynasties

Chapter 40
Lu Rou didn't tell Li Tai whether the clothes donated by Daxingtai were sewn with secret edicts, but he did tell him something that is needed right now, which is the details of the Jingzhao Shi family.

The Shangyuan family of historians has settled in the village for nearly a year, but the Jingzhao historians, who are more powerful in the village, have only moved in in the last ten or twenty years.

"The Shi clan was born in Gaoping Town, Yuanzhou. He gained meritorious service from the Chou Slave Rebel Army in Dingwanqi. Gao Ping, Li Wansui and other brothers conspired to kill him. After Hou Mo and Chen Yue were in chaos, the Wansui brothers and others became the governors of the land, and the Shi clan moved to Jingzhao..."

Gaoping Town is located in Longdong, northern Shaanxi. It was used to prevent and control the Hu in Hexi during the Northern Wei Dynasty. It was a military town like the Six Towns.When the six towns rebelled in the early years, Hu Chen, a townsman from Gaoping Town, also rebelled. After Hu Chen died in battle, Wanqi Chounu continued to lead his troops to rebel.

This rebellion lasted for several years, and it was not put down until Erzhu Tianguang led He Bayue, Hou Mo Chenyue and other Beizhen warriors into the pass.

This historian was able to serve as the governor of Yuanzhou after the rebellion was put down, which shows that he is powerful.It's just bad luck that he was on the wrong team. When Hou Mo Chenyue killed He Bayue and chose to support Hou Mo Chenyue, he was replaced by Li Shi 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 tyrants in the Western Wei Dynasty, and they have won the trust of Yu Wentai. folks.

When Li Tai heard Lu Rou addressing Li Yuan with words, some scattered memories in his mind were suddenly pried out, and he pulled Lu Rou to ask: "Cousin, did Shi Jing, who visited earlier, get married? Heir?"

"I only met him once in my cousin's mansion, and Chang'an has come here for a while, so why take care of his family affairs?"

After Lu Rou heard the words, she shook her head and said, but Li Tai couldn't help laughing, which made Lu Rou very puzzled.

Before that, Li Tai really didn't have much memory of this Jingzhao Shi family, but because of Li Yuan's word Long Live, he suddenly remembered the Sui Dynasty General Shi Wan Live.

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

Thinking about it this way is indeed a bit of a joke, 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 Wansui, this is also a way of spiritual victory.

It is also the basic operation of the traveler to win over the ancient celebrities who have not made a fortune in advance.Although Li Tai still doesn't know if there is such a person as Shi Wansui now, but he has already bolded and blackened Shi Jing's name in his heart.

However, this does not prevent him from blackmailing historians. If the relationship is bad, you can take it easy. If you miss this fat sheep, it is 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 definite relationship. They probably moved from Gaoping Town to Jingzhao, eager to expand the township and formed relatives.

Just like Shangyuan Zhao's party leader boasted that he and Zhao Gui were relatives, Jingzhao historians, although their family fortunes have fallen, still have the background of Gaoping Town Dajuntou. For Shangyuan historians, they still need to be promoted.

Originally, Li Tai thought that the Shangyuan historians had just donated heavy goods, and it would be useless to blackmail them. Now there is another Jingzhao historian to support them.

In the past, He Basheng might not be easy to use because others were single and weak, and he might not be able to impress Jingzhao's historians.But the historian himself was in a lot of trouble, and Li Tai's current personnel relationship just happened to be able to restrict them.

First of all, his cheap cousin Cui Cong is serving as the governor of Jingzhao Yin and Shuai. If the historians of Jingzhao want to gain power through donations, they can't get around Cui Cong.

But the Li Yuan brothers, who have a deep hatred for their hometown, are now gaining a lot of self-confidence, and are still pretending to be from the Li family in Longxi.

Li Tai happened to be a direct descendant of the Longxi Li family who had the most roots in Kansai today, so it shouldn't be difficult to talk to Li Yuan's brothers based on this.

The more Li Tai thought about it, the more he felt that this historian of Jingzhao was just a fat sheep tailor-made for him. How could it be so coincidental that I could restrain you?It's good that Shi Wansui was born and weaned, otherwise, I'm afraid there might be no diapers to change.

Lu Rou got drunk and stayed overnight in the manor, while Li Tai stayed up all night with an oil lamp on to compile a list of his family's "losses" in preparation for negotiating with historians.

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

These people's robes were soaked with dew, and there were still many grass clippings on them. They should have rushed here before dawn, which shows the urgency of their hearts.

After passing each other's names, Li Tai ignored Shi Gong who was crying and pleading guilty, but looked at the two visitors from the Jingzhao historian and said with a smile: "I'm here today, why don't I see Shi Lang who I met yesterday?"

"That bad guy credulously believed in country rumors and slandered his husband. After returning home, he was punished by his parents and apologized behind closed doors."

The people from Jingzhao's Shi family gave Shi Gong a vicious look at Shi Gong who was kneeling beside him and said politely to Li Tai.

"What's wrong with Shi Lang? It's nothing more than being bewitched by the villains in the village. I haven't had time to thank him for helping my relatives reunite. I will definitely thank him again when we have a reunion in the future!"

Li Tai said again with a smile, and the faces of the Shi family members turned dark again after hearing this.

After finishing the polite words, Li Tai stopped being polite, turned his gaze to Shi Gong and said with a sneer, "I don't have the open-mindedness of the Lin family, and I don't have the integrity and courage in my steps. There is no need to make such a gesture. Since entering the countryside, your family has repeatedly disturbed my livelihood, made me I have trouble sleeping and eating, and I even made slaves invade my garden before. If the people in the village were not brave, the family business might not exist. I was born in the village, and I might lose the virtue of the village after being judged by the officials. Since I came to see you, it is the business to discuss compensation, and the rest Miscellaneous things don’t need to be superficial!”

When Shi Gong heard this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his brows, but seeing the sharp eyes of the two fellow Jingzhao's family, he still lay down on the ground and kowtowed: "I know my sin is serious, but Li Lang can't do it." If there is a reduction of responsibility, I dare not refuse..."

The folks at the banquet who were still arrogant the day before yesterday had to take the initiative to come to the door and put on a posture of letting others slaughter them. Shi Gong was really sad and miserable.

But now the decision-making power is no longer in his hands. He begged Jingzhao's family to come forward. He thought that Li Tai had only He Basheng and the nameless Gao Zhongmi behind him, but he didn't expect to send more people on his own initiative. Love backstage.

Although He Basheng had a high status in the Western Dynasty, it was inconvenient for him to intervene too deeply in this kind of village struggle.Gao Zhongmi's downfall is nothing to worry about.

But Cui Xi, who works as Jing Zhaoyin, they dare not underestimate.This time Daxingtai issued a reward, and Cui Xi was the most important executive official in the Jingzhao area. It was a matter of whether the Shi family who moved to Jingzhao could regain power, and they naturally could not tolerate the slightest mistake.

"I am neither a virtuous elder in the village nor an official in charge, so there is no way to reduce my responsibility. But your family has damaged my garden, but you have to make compensation!"

Li Tai took out the list that he made last night, and handed it to Shi and the others.

After reading the list, the two members of the Shi clan at Xixi twitched their brows, their expressions were unnatural, but they didn't say anything, just handed the list to Shi Gong again.

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

When Shi Gong saw the contents of the list, he jumped up from the ground in fright, looked at the two members of the Jingzhaoshi clan and said in a trembling voice: "You two uncles, although I have the sincerity to accept the punishment, but--this vertical... Li Lang, Li Lang He opened the title, it is really hard to break the family!"

Seeing that Shi Gong was so excited, the two of them couldn't accept Li Taishi's big mouth to blackmail them, so they stood up again and said: "The hometown is harmonious and not contentious. If you come to the door today, we will indeed have it." The sincerity of the dispute, but can the gentleman..."

"Why, do you think that I rely on this to make a profit? I would like to ask you two, whose family manages the business by relying on this to support the family? But how can I ask for compensation for making his family's slaves stay in the house? Step on my grain field, Damage my farm house, kill my farmer, I will still bear with it, not to harm a member of his family's evil slaves."

Seeing the pretending, Li Tai got up angrily and said, does he want too much?
It is nothing more than three thousand stones of grain, one hundred craftsmen, thirty cattle, horses and livestock, five hundred silks, and some bricks, tiles and wood, which are much cheaper than Daxingtai.

"The former Shi Jing attacked me. Many farmlands were trampled on, several hectares of seedlings were destroyed, and the fields have been laid to dry until now. The tendons of the farmhouses were broken and fractured, and the huts for sleeping and raising were all visible! Come here, take two sets of counting chips, and I will bring a few people. Go into the field to carefully calculate whether there is really a false claim!"

A few hectares of bean seedlings in the field have just been mowed and ready to be aired for wheat planting, and now there are only more than [-] parts left in the big manor of "more than [-] people". When Li Tai said this, he immediately felt that his asking price was still too low up.

"It's not necessary, it's not necessary! It's just, it's just that the data in the household are newly exported to the country, and the savings are really scarce. Can, can we make a slight discount, or, or delay the payment?"

The two Jingzhaoshi family members said with a look of embarrassment.

"I can give you ten days to raise time, but it must be paid in a month ago. Because I will visit Li Shijun in Yizhou in August, and ask him to help me find the whereabouts of my benefactor, and he will not be in the village."

When several people heard this, their faces turned ashen.The title of Li Shijun is very broad, 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 enemies of the villagers are even more serious than the enemy's country. When they were in Gaoping Town, the historian's power was slightly stronger than that of the Li family.But now, the Li brothers are getting more and more famous, but the historians who moved to Jingzhao are getting worse.That's why historians are eager to take advantage of Daxingtai's general collection of materials to gain some momentum in order to protect themselves.

"Since Mr. Lang has said this, I want to know the story of the nostalgia. After the catastrophe, it is not easy to survive. I implore Mr. Lang to be merciful. My family will definitely prepare for the people before the month!"

The two historians of Jingzhao glanced at each other, not daring to haggle any more, and said to Li Tai.

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

In the final analysis, the first to flirt is cheap, and there is no complaint if you kill him.If the historian didn't take the initiative to provoke him, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to this family, after all, there are so many big goals in front of him.
