Ming Dynasty: Starting from Liaodong Jiangmen

Chapter 13 The Three Sons of the Li Family (please read it!)
Upon hearing the news, Li Shunzu's first thought was to be grateful.

If Feng Liangzu and Song Fu really went to Tongzhou Guard to rectify the Qianhu Station as they said, I am afraid that one more person would be added to the list of those who died in the battle, the commander of Jinyi Guard Nan Division - Li Shunzu.

After rejoicing, it was just like that.

Li Shunzu was not very interested in the news of the fall of Tongzhou. Hou Jin would be repulsed in the end anyway, and doing nothing would be the greatest help to the current situation.

Moreover, Li Shunzu didn't know anyone in Tongzhou. If he fell, he would fall. It had nothing to do with him.

Han Liang seemed to be indifferent to the matter in Tongzhou. He suddenly thought of something and came over to speak.

"Then Zhao Tai's wife, the Zhou family, is pretty good. She still has the charm of a mature woman, and her daughter is only sixteen years old. She is a pretty girl. It would be a waste to send her to the Jiaofang Department to those old men. How about one for each of us brothers?"

Li Shunzu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then waved his hands quickly.

"This, that's not necessary! I can just keep it all if I want."

It’s not that Li Shunzu is not as good as Cao Cao, it’s just that he really doesn’t dare to ask for it!

Zhao Tai's family was different from Yuan Chonghuan's daughter Yuan Yu. Yuan Chonghuan was wanted by Chongzhen, but Yuan Yu had no grudge against Li Shunzu. He wanted to do it, that is, open his mouth more, and Yuan Yu was rewarded by Chongzhen.

Li Shunzu really didn't dare to let go of Chongzhen's petty energy.

Zhao Tai was different. Zhao Tai was fine. Historically, he was looking cool at this moment, but he was sent away by Li Shunzu's mouth.

If he leaves his wife and daughter behind, he might lose his head when he sleeps one night.

The word "sex" is like a knife to the head. It's not that Li Shunzu was not averse to lust, but he would not do such stupid things that would leave a legacy of disaster.

Han Liang laughed loudly when he heard this, with an "I understand you" look. At this time, Bei Si had almost finished investigating Zhao's house, so he handed over his hand and said.

"In this case, I won't force it. I can go back to work today, thanks to Brother Li's help in taking in these prisoners. When Jiannu retreats, we two brothers must have a good drink and get drunk before we stop!"

With many friends and many paths, Li Shunzu also laughed and laughed, watching the royal guards leave in formation.

After Jin Yiwei left, the house suddenly became much quieter. Li Shunzu turned his attention to the servants who came for free, intending to get to know them first.

The servants were still in shock. After all, just a moment ago, they were all criminals who had to be sent to the border to narrowly escape death. Not everyone could feel this two-dimensional feeling of ice and fire.

Li Shunzu was not in a hurry and just found a place to sit.

After an unknown amount of time, an older servant, about middle-aged, approached cautiously.

"Young man Sun Fu, I wonder how the Admiral will arrange for us?"

Li Shunzu looked up and down and asked casually.

"What did Zhao Tai ask you to do before?"

Sun Fu was older and had seen a lot of scenes. At this time, his mood had almost calmed down. He said warmly: "Back to the Admiral, I used to be the housekeeper of the Zhao residence and was in charge of the affairs of the house."

Li Shunzu looked at the others and saw that they had nothing to say, and he also knew that Sun Fu had not cheated.

So he stood up, walked to the middle of the courtyard, and looked around at everyone.

"You all already know my name, but I don't know what your names are yet. Let me introduce myself first!"

After hearing the words, all the servants stood up one after another and recounted their stories one by one in the courtyard.

"Lu Chengcai is from Tongzhou Wei. He used to be an accountant."

"Young Wang Xian, a native of the capital, is responsible for buying supplies, keeping out the cold and enjoying the cool weather, etc."

"Yang Da, from Suzhou, cooks!"

It took a lot of effort to listen to all the NO.80 servants.

After listening to this, Li Shunzu could only remember the few people in charge of Sun Fu. The rest of the people basically went in one ear and out the other. How could he remember so many names?

But this must be done. It doesn't matter whether Li Shunzu knows them or not, but they must know who their new master is. This is the most important thing.

The origins of these servants, who is worthy of trust, and who should be kicked out, these things must be investigated slowly.

Li Shunzu has no other good solution at the moment, he can only collect them all first. "Okay, I'll remember you."

After standing in front of the last servant and listening to her brief self-introduction, Li Shunzu nodded, then slowly walked to the middle of the courtyard, assumed a majestic posture as a master, and spoke seriously.

"All affairs in the house will still be led by General Sun Fu for the time being, and you will still carry out your previous duties!"

The next day.

Li Shunzu got up early and prepared to pack up and go to Guangqumen to take up his post.

Unexpectedly, the servants got up earlier.

The two maids who were specially selected to serve in the main room had already prepared Li Shunzu's official uniform and toiletries before dawn.

Han Liang still sold a lot of face to Li Shunzu. Not only were the servants prostituted for free, but he also did not take away many of the daily necessities in Zhao's house. The supplies left behind were enough for the people of this house to need them for several months.

According to the usual practice, Jinyiwei had to dig three feet into the ground and take away everything they could. Han Liang's private approach somewhat solved Li Shunzu's current dilemma of having a cleaner pocket than his face.

Li Shunzu was still a little curious. These NO. 80 servants had to bear their own daily necessities, food, clothing, food, drink, and toilet. This was the result of not having to pay wages.

Zhao Tai is a small admiral, and his official position is only a thousand households. I don't know how he can support a house of servants.

Since Li Shunzu had made up his mind to be a high official and to be his own master, he had to take care of everything.

Last night, Li Shunzu took the genealogy of his ancestral home and looked at it for half a night. Only then did he realize that the Li family was spread so widely. The direct lineage of just one Li Chengliang, the eldest son, was divided into three branches in the capital.

Li Shunzu, the eldest son, was actually the worst among them.

In my memory, although the direct lineage of the Li family was suppressed, there were still many industries in the capital, and at least they had no worries about food and drink.

Li Shunzu inherited the hereditary official position of Enyin in Wanli Dynasty, that is, the commander of Nansi. The family industry was inherited by his younger brother Li Zunzu.

Although Li Zunzu was also directly related to the eldest son of Li Chengliang, he was not a biological brother to Li Shunzu. His father was Li Xianzhong, the second son of Li Rusong, who received the eldest son's property in the capital and left the official position to engage in business.

But Li Shunzu felt that this was just an appearance.

Historically, the last person to inherit the Earldom of Ningyuan was not the original Li Shunzu, but his younger brother Li Zunzu.

After this period of personal experience, Li Shunzu was almost certain that the Li family would be secretly suppressed if they became officials.

From this point of view, it seems that it was not that simple when Li Zunzu voluntarily gave up the fight for official position.

Li Rusong has been dead for more than 30 years, but the Li family's title of Earl of Ningyuan has not yet been determined, and even now there is not even an honorary guard officially canonized, which also illustrates some problems.

The prince of a prince is called an honorary guard. According to the rules, if you want to inherit a title, the first step is to be given the false name of an honorary guard. This is how Li Shunzu's cheap father Li Shizhong came here. This is also the official recognition of you as the heir to the title by the court. Way.

There are three people in the direct line of the Li family in the capital. One of them is Li Shunzu, the eldest son of the direct line of the Li family with a well-established family background.

The remaining two are the sons of Li Rusong's second son, Li Xianzhong, Li Zunzu and Li Yingzu.

In the Ming Dynasty, Li Shunzu was both the eldest and the direct descendant. Normally, he should have inherited the title, but he is still just a little-known commander of the Southern Division. This is really puzzling.

After Li Rusong's death, the hereditary official positions and family industries of the Li family were divided into two. Li Shunzu, the eldest son of the lineage, inherited the hereditary official position, while Li Zunzu and Li Yingzu of the Li Xianzhong lineage inherited various industries of the Li family's direct lineage in the capital.

This is also the reason why although Li Shunzu had an official position, he was extremely poor.

Li Shunzu was just angry at his original cowardly behavior. It was time to take back what belonged to him!
As the direct eldest son of the Li family, all the Li family's property must be in his own hands.

With the scale of the Li family's industry in the capital, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with supplies for the Liao army in Guangqumen.

This was the first time that he had to hold out his hands for food and open his mouth. In addition, with the two maids and girls watching intently, Li Shunzu was not used to it. He simply washed up, put on his official uniform, and walked out of the main room.

The Admiral of Jiumen Jingying can be regarded as a real official with considerable power, and Li Shunzu was more concerned about it.

However, before Li Shunzu could reach outside the house, he saw a soldier from the Beijing camp rushing in and asked loudly in a panic: "Who is the new admiral of Guangqumen?"

Judging from the situation, something happened at Guangqumen.

　I just saw it in the afternoon. The chapter timings were wrong. Both chapters were scheduled for [-]pm today, so I simply didn’t change them and posted them together.

　　I'm sorry if it affects everyone's reading!
