Li Tai talked about the various deeds of the Pei family in Hedong, "At the beginning, Pei Ju was in troubled times, but there was another person who also had a lot of fame among the Pei family in Hedong during the pre-Sui Dynasty. That person was called Pei Shiqing."

"Pei Shiqing and Pei Ju are cousins. When Pei Shiqing was appointed minister of Honglu Temple in the former Sui Dynasty, it was rumored that he wanted to see the Japanese slave king's seal given to the Japanese king by Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty."

Zhang Yang listened quietly with his hands folded, listening to a long past in the autumn equinox.

They have never had a national title of their own, so they are still Japanese slaves in name only.

In order to get rid of the reputation of Japanese slaves, they surrendered to the Central Plains and at the same time obtained a new national title.

It's a pity that before Yang Guang could claim their country's title, the Eighteenth Route rebels rose up, and this matter has been shelved until now.

When he came back from the Wonu Kingdom, the king gave his daughter to Pei Shiqing and brought two monks with him.

Li Tai told this secret, "However, since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the First Emperor unified the Central Plains. Since then, the monarchs and ministers have been divided, and there is rarely an independent country. How can we make it independent if it is not beyond the reach of the whip?"

For more than 2,000 years since the founding of the imperial system, it has always been taboo to split the earth and seal a country. You can be a prince but not an independent country. With the precedent of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, historical experience has served as a warning to generations of kings.

As an emperor, if you surrender to me, what's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine.

Otherwise, I will kill you directly.

When did Japanese monks cross the sea and come to the Central Plains to study?

A puppy ran along the field ridge. Li Tai picked it up and hugged it and said: "There are so many talented people in the Pei family of Hedong. How come there is such a person as Pei Xuanji?"

The topic came back again and again. Zhang Yang stood up again with the hoe on his shoulder and said hesitantly: "If you want to buy paper, you must also buy our Lishan papermaking technology, so there is someone behind this Pei Xuanji, right?

"

Li Tai nodded, "This person is suspicious."

Just as he was talking, the guards hurried over to report: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, we followed the man surnamed Pei into Chang'an City and lost..."

After hearing the news, Li Tai looked much calmer and said slowly: "How did you lose me?"

"The man noticed and ditched us in the street."

Li Tai sighed, "It seems that he is not a simple person."

When I was about to ask what I thought, I glanced sideways and saw that my brother-in-law had already walked away with a basket of vegetable seedlings, so I had to run two steps to catch up, "Brother-in-law, this person is not simple."

"Well, it's not easy. I'll leave this matter to His Highness King Wei."

"ah?"

Li Tai froze on the spot and couldn't answer the question for a long time. He could only watch his brother-in-law walk up Lishan Mountain step by step.

Simply discuss the next arrangements with your guards.

The next day, Pei Xuanji came again. This time he brought two followers with him and arrived at the entrance of Lishan Village with a loud shout and a carriage behind him.

Li Tai stepped forward and said, "You should have been beaten to death yesterday."

Pei Xuanji bowed his hands and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Wei sent people to follow him. Didn't he find out the envoy of the Ming Dynasty? A beating or two is nothing. The King of Wei will not kill me."

It felt very uncomfortable to be seen through someone's mind, especially by a guy like this. Li Tai wanted to beat him up again, but due to the important matter explained by his brother-in-law, he had to suppress the anger in his heart first.

The man smiled and said: "Actually, what I said yesterday is true. Whether His Highness the King of Wei believes it or not is not important. I really like the Red Mansion."

"Isn't that classified as a prostitute by the nobles?"

"Although it is a novel, it is widely circulated among the scholars. Such a stunning story cannot stop people from all over the world from rushing to spread it. We, the scholars, all scolded it while reading it."

Pei Xuanji smiled confidently, "I came here this time because of the papermaking technology. I wonder if His Highness the King of Wei has thought about the price?"

Li Tai nodded and said, "What price are you offering?"

Pei Xuanji replied: "How about two million strings?"

Hearing this price, even the guards on the side frowned. Everyone has lived so long, how have they ever heard of such a large amount.

It is said that Lishan is rich, but Lishan cannot afford so much money now.

Li Tai paced back and forth thinking, and then stopped for a while, "Really two million dollars?"

Pei Xuanji nodded, "That's exactly the price."

Not to mention that even in his middle age, Pei Xuanji is still a scum after a famous official, but the person behind him is extremely wealthy.

Li Tai sat down and took a sip of tea, "In my opinion, there are many people who can take out one million guan at a time, but there may not be many people who can take out two million guan. There should be more than one person behind you."

, it’s not just one family, this is the price that several families put together.”

After a pause, Li Tai nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Pei, that's right."

Pei Xuanji smiled and nodded, "I have long heard that His Royal Highness King Wei has been smart since he was a child. Now it seems that the rumors are good. I admire this smart man. Lishan is indeed a good place."

Li Tai looked at the carriage behind him, "There is also money in the carriage?"

Pei Xuanji waved his hand, and the entourage behind him opened the curtain. There was indeed no one sitting in the carriage, but there were piles of silver cakes.

Li Tai walked to the carriage and picked up a silver ingot, "What a generous move."

Pei Xuanji added: "These silver cakes are priced at 50,000 guan, which can be used as a deposit. As long as Lishan hands over the papermaking technology to them, the other 2 million guan will be sent."

Seeing that King Wei hesitated, Pei Xuanji whispered: "Your Highness, King Wei, can I meet the Marquis of Lishan County?"

"Brother-in-law doesn't want to see outsiders during this time." Li Tai replied lightly.

"I wonder if the deposit is satisfactory?"

Throwing the silver cake into the carriage, Li Tai wiped his hands and said with a smile: "The price is indeed very high. You also know how important papermaking is. We are not short of money in Lishan. The deposit is not enough to attract my brother-in-law. Just

Isn’t it inappropriate to just give Lishan a deposit and expect Lishan to sell the papermaking technology to them?"

"Please ask His Highness the King of Wei to make an offer?"

"We have accepted the money. As for the deposit, it is difficult to give Lishan a price. Please send another deposit."

"It's time to work."

The conversation this time was much smoother than the last time. Seeing the other party moving out the silver cake, Li Tai said again: "Leave the carriage as well. You are so rich, don't you feel sorry for a carriage?"

Pei Xuanji gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I'll give them to Lishan as well."

Others had money, but Pei Xuanji didn't. He bought this carriage with his own money, so he took another look at it while feeling distressed.

The guard whispered: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, I will send someone to follow him."

Li Tai waved his hand and said: "No need, I was dumped last time. If I ask someone to follow me this time, I will be at a disadvantage."

My bodyguards are not good at asking for information and sending people to follow them.

There are experts behind Pei Xuan. Li Taixin said, don’t I know a few experts?

Xu Jingzong of the Foreign Affairs Academy does this kind of bad thing.

This person is particularly good at this.

Li Tai whispered: "Pass the news to this king and ask Xu Jingzong to investigate this person and all his activities in Chang'an City. If possible, find out the person behind the scenes."

"Here."

Who is my brother-in-law? In this city of Chang'an, it is not easy to find out the information, not to mention that Chu Mo has someone from the gang in his hands.

Among the three close friends, Li Tai helped arrange Lishan, Chu Mo's manpower was deployed outside, and the brother-in-law was in charge of Lishan.

No need to say it explicitly, everyone has a tacit understanding in their hearts.

Chumo will never interfere in Lishan's affairs.

Li Tai would not ask about Chu Mo's gang affairs.

Even Li Tai didn't want to sit down in the wine shop, but stood outside the wine shop for a moment. Cheng Chumo understood the meaning and told the waitress a few words.

The restaurant girl was very skilled, so she beat Chu Mo and let him leave.

Li Tai shook his head and sighed, "This Chu Mo was beaten by his father when he was a child. If he marries her in the future, he will be beaten by his wife. This situation is really sad and deplorable. How can this person's horoscope be so evil?"

The guard on the side replied: "I think so too. Brother Chumo is really miserable."

However, this guy is strong, rough-skinned and thick-skinned, so it doesn't matter if he gets beaten once or twice. He hasn't practiced much since he was a kid, but his ability to take a beating is one of the best in the world.

When the others came closer, Li Tai looked at him. Chu Mo was now in his late twenties. Most men would have already been married by this age, so he was too stubborn to marry a wife yet.

Now that Cheng Chumo has also grown a beard, Li Tai knelt down and put his hands in his hands, acting like a brother-in-law, and said: "Chumo, you'd better shave off your beard."

Cheng Chumo chewed the cake and said, "It's just a scholar, how can a warrior shave his beard?"

Li Tai sighed: "If it's cleaner, the girls will feel more comfortable."

"Really?" Cheng Chumo was confused as the words passed through his mind.

"Do you know if Ping Kangfang's women like men of letters or not men of martial arts?"

"Of course a certain family knows it." Cheng Chumo lifted up his sleeves and stroked his beard and said: "The literati went to Pingkangfang to recite poems and write articles so that they can be easily dealt with, but the military people have no sentiments. Even if they have no money to pay the bills, the literati are easy to bully."

"Wrong." Li Tai shook his head solemnly, "That's because literati can make women happier. Apart from money, only literati understand people's hearts better."

Cheng Chumo said in confusion: "As for Ping Kangfang, isn't it the same if you pay money?"

"You're a killer!" Youli couldn't explain it to him, so Li Tai raised his foot and kicked him, but he didn't move, and he fell to the ground.
