Chapter 997 Pigs really fly (dedicated to the flying master Bajie
Silver Alliance)
Under normal circumstances, Yunchu didn't really believe that pigs could fly.
Now, Yunchu had to admit that pigs could fly with the help of certain external forces.
For example, install an airplane engine under a pig's belly.
Under such circumstances, a pig can fly with no problem. It can even perform a full Thomas spin or a head-up cobra maneuver in the air.
The Pei family is this flying pig!
A pig with Pei Xingjian as its engine.
The courtiers generally believed that the emperor's most trusted minister was Yunchu.
However, the emperor's most trusted ministers and courtiers basically thought it was Pei Xingjian.
Pei Xingjian assisted Xue Rengui in exterminating the Xi people this time. After the Khitan rebellion, it was a certainty that he would become the prime minister. Moreover, this time he took over the Ministry of War from the Minister of War, Ren Yaxiang.
I have to say that this is a sign that a new generation is replacing the old one.
Pei Xingjian was favored by His Majesty, and good things came one after another. Not only was the Crown Princess from the Pei family, but she became pregnant at the beginning of the year, and gave birth to a son safely at the end of the year. The emperor personally named him Zhou.
The word "日" means the sun rises brightly.
The current prince Li Hong is the eldest son of the empress. He is cautious, immersed in farming, and has made many achievements. If the prince can persevere, he will be the next emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
In addition, he has his eldest son, so he is the most suitable successor.
Ever since, the tide has risen for the Pei family.
Xue Rengui's troops marched into Liaodong and immediately killed any tribe that had anything to do with the Xi people and Khitan people, which was clean in the physical sense.
Completely severed any connection between the Xi people, Khitan people and Yingzhou.
At the same time, Xue Rengui, the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong March Army, attracted the Xi people by himself. In addition to the main force of the Khitan, he also opened a channel for slave-catching groups of all sizes in the Tang Dynasty, allowing them to go to Baishan and Blackwater to catch slaves for free.
Personally owned.
As a result, those soldiers from Hebei Province who had not been recruited to farm at home quickly put on their armor and went in groups to the north of Yingzhou to capture slaves.
The soldiers in Hebei Province hated being called into battle, but they were extremely enthusiastic about setting up a private slave-catching group. In addition, the land in Hebei Province had just been allocated to ordinary people by His Majesty, and almost every family had enough.
There is a lot of land, and the newly established cooperatives want to buy everything. This leads to people's enthusiasm for farming, hemp, mulberry, and cotton.
However, the land was available, but the manpower for farming was not enough. Just the division of Yongye and Kou into two fields had already made the farmers exhausted. If they wanted to plant more crops at this time, it would be impossible without slaves.
In Hebei Province, the price of a strong slave is almost as high as that of a calf.
The profit margin of the slave trade suddenly increased, which made the white mountains and black waters somewhat overcrowded.
Originally, Pei Xingjian stationed troops on the Hedong Road to prevent the Xi people from breaking through Xue Rengui's defense line and entering Hebei and causing trouble on the Hedong Road. Now it seems that this is not necessary at all.
As a result, Pei Xing inspected the camp and returned, and the troops of the Sixteenth Guards under his command returned to their respective positions.
Among them, 40,000 soldiers and horses from the Sixteenth Guards of Chang'an returned, and Pei Xingjian also returned.
When Zhou Xing learned that Pei Yan was actually at Dali Temple and hurried over, he not only saw the fat Pei Yan, but also the imposing Pei Xingjian sitting on the main seat.
"Have you caught the evil thief Guofeng?"
When Zhou Xing entered the hall, Pei Xingjian, who was chatting with Di Renjie, put down the teacup in his hand and questioned Zhou Xing.
Zhou Xing first closed his eyes to calm down, then opened his eyes and looked at Pei Yan and said, "Living Master, aren't you going to explain to me the origin of the armor, crossbows, and gunpowder in your home?"
Pei Yan hugged the tea cup and laughed: "They are all evil thieves, what do you have to do with me?"
Zhou Xing cupped his hands in the direction of Luoyang and said, "I have the emperor's mandate and I am here this time..."
Before Zhou Xing could finish his words, Pei Yan added: "The lower official has followed the order of the Crown Princess and has cashed out the 360,000 yuan of Pei's family property from the fund pool and delivered it to the Wannian County Household Department for free early this morning.
The house will be used to rebuild the fund pool. If Zhou Shilang uses this matter as an excuse to target the Pei family again, we might as well go to His Majesty to make a clear explanation."
Seeing that Zhou Xing was unable to do anything under Pei Xingjian's suppression, Di Renjie said from the side: "You will kill all the evil thieves in a gust of wind, right?"
When Zhou Xing heard this, he immediately became more energetic. He saluted Pei Xingjian, the superior, and said, "In this case, I still have official business to attend to, so I'll say goodbye."
When Zhou Xing left Dali Temple, Pei Xingjian looked at Di Renjie and said, "You hate me, Mr. Pei, for not dying, don't you?"
Pei Yan also said on the side: "Yunchu has already wiped out my Pei family in Jinyang. Could it be that Shaoqing also wants to eliminate the Pei family in Chang'an as well?"
Di Renjie first looked at Pei Xingjian and said, "When you, Mr. Pei, withdrew the funds from the capital pool, did you ever consider the lives of Yun Chu, Yun Wen and I?
I originally thought that I might have some friendship with you, General Pei, but as a result, you guys were so ruthless. My wife almost shoveled the land and sold off all her family property to collect the money to fill the gap you gave us.
A big hole dug.
Since you dare to do it on the fifteenth day, don’t blame us for doing it on the first day of junior high school."
Pei Xingjian said: "These are two different things. Don't mix them up. What is personal belongs to the individual, and what belongs to the family belongs to the family."
Di Renjie said: "Ha, Yunchu thought so too, so I killed the arrogant and domineering Pei Jimanmen in Jinyang, but I didn't kill you, Pei Xingjianmanmen. Why are you so angry?"
Pei Xingjian frowned and said: "Is there no room for change in this matter? Mr. Pei has already handed over the transferred funds from the capital pool, and it is for free, so what else can be done?"
Di Renjie sighed and said: "I thought that Pei Xingjian was finally a good man who served the country and the people. Now it seems that he is nothing more than that. You were not merciless when you harmed the world. You knew it clearly when you transferred funds from the capital pool.
No matter what the consequences will be, you still decisively transferred them.
Now, businessmen all over the world are panicking and businesses are in ruins. It is even more difficult for us to rebuild our capital pool.
Lao Pei, let me ask you, is there any comparison between the 360,000 guan at that time and the 360,000 guan at this time?
You took away a bottle of water from me when I was about to die of thirst, but you gave me a bottle of water when I was full of wine and food. Lao Pei, you don't even have the dignity to do so.
I don’t believe it. With your personality, seeing the chaos in Chang’an, the death and injury of merchants, and the lack of food and clothing for the border troops, how can you remain indifferent?
If you are such a vicious thief who eats people and gets fat, you and I will sever our relationship from now on."
Pei Yan was about to say something sarcastic, but Pei Xingjian stopped him.
Then he looked at Di Renjie and said: "Old Pei, I have been in the army all these years, and I really don't know what is going on at home. What the Pei family in Chang'an wants to do, I heard that the Pei family has no right to interfere. However, after all these years, I, Old Pei, have become too weak.
If you have family capital, I will ask my wife to shovel the land of Pei Xingjian's family like your wife, but all the proceeds will be given to the Wannian County Household Department for the purpose of rebuilding the fund pool.
However, one thing, Lao Pei, I can assure you, Lao Di, that the attack on the Angel was definitely not done by me, Pei.
In order to avoid disaster for the Pei family of Chang'an, a gangster on the Ganliang Road who was forced by a certain family, Guofeng, had no choice but to sneak into Chang'an and assassinate the Pei family of Chang'an, and then take the blame for the Pei family."
Pei Yan was stunned by Pei Xingjian's words. He never thought that at this moment, Pei Xingjian's words would not only bankrupt his own family, but would also ruin their plans for a long time.
Just said it so bluntly.
He really couldn't understand or figure out what was so scary about the young minister of Dali Temple who was just a fourth-rank man in front of him.
However, since Pei Xingjian said it, he had no choice but to shut up. After all, this was just like what Pei Xingjian said before. This was something they heard about the Pei family.
Di Renjie's face was still ugly, but he said nothing more about cutting off the seats. Finally, he pointed at Pei Xingjian and said, "I hope you have enough wisdom and courage to survive this storm."
After saying that, he walked away.
After Pei Xingjian and Pei Yan left Dali Temple, they got into the car, and Pei Yan asked impatiently: "Why is that so?"
Pei Xingjian glanced at Pei Yan indifferently and said, "A certain family disdains eating people to gain fat."
Pei Yan said: "Since ancient times, certain people have been superior. This world is our hunting ground. The law of the jungle is the law of the world. Why do you want to rebel against your family?"
Pei Xingjian said indifferently: "Since you trampled on my face and forced my outer chamber to perform songs and dances for Yunchu, and also made my outer chamber have the idea of committing myself to me instead of committing to Yunchu, I will see how you behave again.
See shit.”
Pei Yan said loudly: "She is just a plaything of a singer. Who treats her as a human being?"
Pei Xingjian turned his head and looked at Pei Yan and said, "If you get out of the carriage quickly while a certain family's sword has not been unsheathed, you may still have a chance to survive."
Seeing the murderous intent in Pei Xingjian's eyes, Pei Yan opened the door and rolled out of the carriage, ignoring that the carriage was running. His fat body rolled twice on the ground before he stopped. After being helped up by a servant, Pei Yan
Pointing at the carriage going away, he roared: "Pei is inspecting!"
Li Hong squatted down and let Naha step on his shoulders to reach the swallow's nest under the eaves.
This swallow's nest has just been reinforced by Naha. Fifty gold coins can be placed in it without falling.
Yun Jin was standing by the side holding a ladder. He really couldn't understand why his aunt had to step on Li Hong's shoulders even though there was a ladder.
"Squat down and send me up as well. I have a jade plaque here that you can put in as well."
Li Si patted Yun Jin's head and said.
Yun Jin looked at the ladder in his hand and wanted to say something, but was pushed down by Li Si. However, Yun Jin was still young and Li Si's body was a bit heavy. Although he gritted his teeth and stood up, he still couldn't figure it out.
, why are there ladders and these women still like to step on men’s shoulders?
Thinking that Li Hong was always smart, he turned his attention to Li Hong, who was also stepped on.
Li Hong carried Naha easily. He freed up one hand to touch Yun Jin's head and said, "You are still young. When you are older, you will know that this is not hard work."
