Chapter 147 Taiyuan
Startled!

Copying Luo Yi's family, the money is only 100 guan, but the land is more than 50 million mu, which is simply unimaginable.After finding someone to find out more, Tang Han realized that the 300 households in Youzhou are less than 70.00 million people, but there are still many people who have no land. Although Youzhou is a frontier town, it is the same as other places. It is the world of aristocratic families. % of the land is in the hands of the family.

The Tang and Han dynasties never ceased, using the excuse of Luo Yi's disrespect and intention to rebel, he led an army of tens of thousands and began to set off a bloody storm in Youzhou. It took half a month to kill fifty aristocratic families , Hundreds of big households took back large tracts of land under the name of the government. At the same time, the Tang and Han dynasties sent people to the Central Plains to publicize that as long as they were willing to go to Youzhou, each person would be given [-] acres of land for free and tax-free for three years.

When Tang Han left Youzhou and went to Taiyuan, the news of what happened in Youzhou was also spread. Like a hurricane, thunder was struck, and it spread all over the world in a short time.The aristocratic family was very worried, and the officials of the aristocratic family impeached Tang Han during the court, saying that Tang Han beheaded the imperial court officials, the imperial court proclaimed the Marquis, and wantonly killed the aristocratic family members with the intention of rebelling.

It's a pity that although Yang Guang was also surprised by Tang Han's thunderous methods, he wished that he could kill the aristocratic family like Tang Han, so that the imperial power would be supreme and his words could be followed.But in the face of the impeachment of the court officials, Yang Guang just said lightly that he had ordered Tang Han to be the governor of Youzhou. .

Tang Han rode a BMW and entered Hebei. This Hebei was no longer prosperous in the past. There were many volunteers in the territory. Among them, a leader of the volunteers named Yang Gongqing gathered [-] troops and occupied three cities.In the land of Hebei, there are dilapidated houses and courtyards everywhere, and people with sallow and emaciated faces are everywhere.

Whenever passing through villages and towns, I often saw the Sui army showing off their might, soldiers like bandits. The hostile eyes of those numb people looking at the Sui army made Tang Han very uncomfortable, and at the same time felt a faint atmosphere of dilapidation.

Tang Han sighed slightly.

Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, made great efforts to govern, making the Sui Dynasty unify the world every few years, creating a prosperous age of "the rule of the first emperor", making the Sui country rich and strong, with strong soldiers and strong horses, even the Turks dare not go south easily to herd horses.

However, it was only ten years after Yang Guang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. In just ten years, the source of the government soldiers system, which was the foundation of the Sui Dynasty’s rule, was tossed into this appearance by Yang Guang. Gradually growing stronger, Yang Guang actually left Chang'an and went south to Jiangdu.

Moreover, the order collapsed rapidly, and there were no less than dozens of robbery accidents encountered along the way.

There are big gangsters and small gangsters, making the land of Hebei a mess and unsightly.

Tang Han sighed softly. No matter who wins or loses in the struggle between the imperial power and the aristocratic family, only the common people suffer, and who cares about the life and death of the common people.

Of course, at this time the rebellion in the territory of the Sui Dynasty had just risen, and the most powerful one was Zhai Rang of Wagang. Right now, Wagang was still at the stage of rising, and was still crushed by the imperial army so hard to breathe.As for the green forest heroes like Yang Gongqing, they have not yet become successful.

Three days later, Tang Han arrived in Taiyuan.

It has to be said that the Great Sui was a powerful country with a vast territory. The Sui Dynasty was [-] miles from east to west and [-] miles from north to south. If it weren’t for the horses of the Tang and Han dynasties to be thousands of miles of horses, and the Tang and Han dynasties were always baptized with innate qi, If you want to reach Taiyuan from Youzhou, it will take ten days and half a month.

Taiyuan is a big city. It is located on the plain between the Taihang Mountains and the Luliang Mountains, on the edge of the Fenshui River;Therefore, the art of war is called "controlling the mountains and rivers, and occupying the shoulders of the world".This Taiyuan has been the government of Bingzhou since the Western Han Dynasty, and it has always been an important town against the Turks in the Sui Dynasty.

Tang Han had lived in Taiyuan for three years, and he was quite familiar with Taiyuan. He rode a horse into Taiyuan City. Taiyuan City was very lively, people came and went, and everyone talked about it.

The Li family of Longxi, the Li family of Zhaojun, the Cui family of Boling, the Cui family of Qinghe, the Lu family of Fanyang, the Zheng family of Xingyang, the Wang family of Taiyuan, and the Yang family of Hongnong are the largest families in the world today. In Taiyuan, the Li family The strength is not considered strong, but it is the Wang family who can really be regarded as the master of Taiyuan.

However, in Taiyuan, the Li family is second only to the Wang family in Taiyuan. After all, Li Yuan is currently serving as the consolation ambassador of Hedong in Shanxi, so Taiyuan can be regarded as Li Yuan's jurisdiction.

When we arrived at Li's mansion, we saw the people in Li's mansion decorated with lanterns and festoons, full of joy. Not far away, people from Li's mansion were cooking porridge and delivering food, and dignitaries kept coming.

"The third son is back!" Seeing Tang Han, the steward of Li's mansion shouted quickly, then took the whip from Tang Han's hand and held the horse: "Third son, why don't you tell me in advance when you come back, so that Xiao welcome you."

"Uncle Fu, are my adoptive father and the others in the mansion?" Tang Han asked. The housekeeper was called Li Fu, who was several years older than Li Yuan and had won Li Yuan's trust.

"The lord and all the young masters and ladies are here."

Li Yuan, as the head of the Li family, naturally has a group of wives and concubines. There are five sons and four daughters in total. Tang Han was born in the Li family and was adopted by Li Yuan as his adopted son. As a general, he was in a high position, so his status in the Li Clan was naturally extraordinary. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was second only to Li Yuan.

Tang Han entered Li's mansion. As the residence of the Li Clan in Taiyuan, Li's mansion covers an area of ​​[-] acres, divided into three courtyards: front, middle and back. Tang Han went straight to the backyard and saw Li Yuan, Li Shimin and others.

"Sanlang, you're back! I thought you wouldn't come back?" Li Shimin said with a happy face when he saw Tang Han.

"Haha, Erlang, today is your big day, why am I absent?" Tang Han laughed, hugged Li Shimin, and then greeted everyone with fists.

"Sanlang, now you are the most prestigious, leading an army of [-] alone!" said a girl with an overpowering appearance, her eyes were shining brightly.

The girl who spoke was called Li Xiuning, she was the jewel in the palm of the Li family, and the only daughter of Li Yuan and the Dou family.In the original track, when Li Yuan raised his army, Li Xiuning escaped from Chang'an and lived in Hu County, scattered his family wealth, attracted desperadoes from the mountains, and gained hundreds of people in response to his father's uprising.He also sent his slave Ma Sanbao to recruit and surrender the landlord to arm He Panren, and joined forces to capture Hu County.He also recruited Li Zhongwen, Xiang Shanzhi, Qiu Shili and other anti-Sui tribes. The tribe finally reached 7 people, and they were named "Women's Army".Successively captured the important places in Guanzhong, Wugong, Shiping, etc., and made great contributions to Li Yuan's rapid capture of Chang'an.Later, when Li Xiuning went south to find talents for the Li family, he met Kou Zhong, who was gradually emerging in the arena. In order to get Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling to pay for Li Shimin's life, Li Xiuning pretended to Kou Zhong.

Li Xiuning had a childhood sweetheart, Chai Shao, and for the benefit of the family, Li Yuan betrothed Li Xiuning to the wealthy Chai family as a matter of course.So at the beginning, Li Xiuning didn't take Kou Zhong seriously, and only regarded Kou Zhong as a tool to fight for the Li Clan.Soon, when Kou Zhong learned that Li Xiuning had betrothed to Chai Shao, he expressed his love to Li Xiuning, but Li Xiuning felt it was impossible.

It can be said that among Li Yuan's daughters, Li Xiuning is the most outstanding, but it is a pity that Li Xiuning is a daughter, otherwise. . . . . .

"Okay, today is Shimin's big day. Now it's almost the auspicious time, and it's time to marry a bride." Li Yuan said with a smile, Li Shimin is going to get married today, and Li Yuan is extremely happy.

He and Dou have four sons and one daughter, all of whom are outstanding.The eldest son, Li Jiancheng, is 26 years old this year. He has already married and established a business. Li Yuan was pushed out of Chang'an, thanks to Li Jiancheng's relationship and connections in Chang'an.

Now the second son, Li Shimin, will also get married.

Tang Han just nodded slightly towards Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji. Although they grew up together, for some reason, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji looked down on him since they were young, so Tang Han had no affection for them.On the contrary, because Li Shimin was the same age as him and got along day and night, the relationship was good.

Now Li Jiancheng is very enthusiastic about him, Tang Han is noncommittal.

Tang Han followed Li Shimin to leave the Li Mansion to marry the bride, and saw his eldest grandson Wuji and his uncle Gao Shilian. He is married to the Li Family, how could this make Gao Shilian unhappy.

For this marriage, Li Shimin specially bought a mansion in Taiyuan for the eldest grandson Wuji brother and sister to marry the bride. More than a hundred people scattered flower petals in the wedding procession, and some people cleared the way. It was very lively.

In this era, weddings are very cumbersome, especially for a powerful family like the Li family. They are even more particular. Under the witness of all relatives and friends, the new couple worshiped heaven and earth, and then began to celebrate lively. The Li family even put 500 There are many banquets, and the running water banquet lasts for more than half a day.

Tang Han discovered that there were not only righteous people but also children of demons who came to the wedding banquet. Started to contact Li Shimin.

But because it was Li Shimin's big wedding, Tang Han didn't want to suppress these people, so he let them make trouble, as long as it wasn't too much, that's all.

When Li Shimin got married, Tang Han also met Pei Ju, who was disguised as the evil king. If Pei Ju dared to act recklessly, he would definitely not give him a good face.

That Shi Zhixuan was really good at acting, he didn't feel uncomfortable from the beginning to the end, even if he was stared at by Tang Han, he fully showed the demeanor of a court official, Tang Han really admired him.
