We have to admit this fact. Although Li Shan instinctively resents and rejects the family members because of his identity as a time traveler, he has risen from a nameless and hopeless young man to become famous all over the world.
, the memory of past lives is the main cause, but the help of family members is also crucial.
Nowadays, Li Shan is on good terms with the Wang family in Taiyuan, and profit-sharing in business is the main reason, but the friendship with Wang Renbiao is the origin; he is on good terms with the Xue family in Hedong and the Liu family in Jie County, although it is because Li Shan saved their lives, but this is
The two families also frequently made Li Shan famous... They were very helpful in planning the establishment of trade routes.
Li Shan made great achievements in Shandong and copied so many masterpieces that have been handed down from generation to generation. If it weren't for the praise of those wealthy and powerful disciples... he might not be as famous as he is today.
But the most important thing, the one who helped Li Shan the most and had the best relationship with Li Shan was the Li family in Longxi... To be precise, it was the Danyang Fang of the Li family in Longxi.
The friendship between Li Kai and Li Shan has been rumored for a long time. This time the two went to the fortress together and defeated the Turks, which is even more popular.
But not only that, for a long period of time, Li Keshi and his wife became the communication channel between Li Shan and Li Shimin. They knew almost everything inside and cared deeply about Li Shan.
Therefore, the day after Li Shan arrived in Chang'an, he immediately paid a visit.
Obviously, Li Keshi and his wife also knew this truth, not to mention that they received a letter from Li Kai. After Li Shan took office as acting governor, he almost threw everything he had planned so hard to Li Kai.
But what Guest Master Li didn't expect was that there were so many people coming to greet him at the same time.
When Li Shan arrived at the door of Li's house, Yang Siyi, the eldest son of Zhongshu Ling Yang Gongren, arrived just in time.
"Brother Siyi." Li Shan was a little surprised, "What a coincidence?"
"What a coincidence?" Yang Siyi threw away the riding whip and laughed: "Huairen is so powerful that he is so powerful that it is enviable. Naturally, he came here early to listen to the battle!"
Li Shan underestimated the impact of this great victory. When he crossed the threshold and saluted Brother Li Keshi and Li Qianyou, he couldn't help but glance at the people on the side with the corner of his eye.
Zhang Wenguan, Wang Renbiao, and Li Zhaode are all close friends of Li Shan, which is easy to say.
But in addition, Fang Xuanling's eldest son Fang Yizhi, Gao Shilian's eldest son Gao Jixiong, Yuchi Gong's eldest son Yuchi Baolin and other descendants of the Prince of Qin's family are all here... Obviously, these guys are envious of Li Kai's decision to make such a decision just after arriving in Daizhou.
meritorious deeds.
A few days ago, when the court was discussing Yanmen's great victory, the sage Li Yuan personally praised Li Kai... In the Danyang house of the Li family in Longxi, there were pharmacists first and virtuous counselors later.
Yang Siyi looked at this scene with a smile, but he was thinking about his father's words this morning... Yanmen was victorious, and all the other generals and commanders were awarded awards. Even if they were not successful, they would be promoted to officers, but Li Shan was not awarded the award.
I thought that Li Shan was summoned back to Beijing for a reward, but I didn't expect that when Li Shan came to the palace yesterday and left the Tai Chi Palace, His Majesty issued an edict and fined him a salary of three years... Yang Siyi was hesitant to come, but his father Yang Gongren did.
It is said that Li Shan is a person who has the trust of His Majesty and is a kind and righteous person, so he is a person who can be trusted.
Li Keshi picked up Li Shan and said with a smile: "You are still young, and you go out to the fortress to show off your power. Such young heroes are rarely seen in history books."
"Huairen planned the war, recaptured Shuozhou, and defeated the Turks. That's all." Li Qianyou stroked his beard and said: "But Daizhou has been dilapidated for many years, and now it has been rejuvenated. It can be seen that Huairen also has civil rule."
What he said was a bit vague, and Li Shan didn't quite understand it, but everyone around him knew it well... He deliberately mentioned Wenzhi in order to distinguish him from Huo Qubing. Although Princess Qi's words did not spread
Yes, but it's not a secret.
"In the fourth year of Wude, my nephew arrived in Chang'an and settled in Dongshan Temple. He had no writing and no weapons, and his days were like years." Li Shan sighed: "First, I had brother Xiaoqing to help me, and later I was fortunate to have brother Demou and Zhaode as my friend."
"Since then, my uncle has taken care of me many times, and my uncle even called my nephew to join the war in Shandong..." Li Shan bowed again and solemnly said: "My nephew is very grateful to me, and I dare not forget it for a day."
Li Keshi looked around, waved his hand and said: "As we all know, Shandong plots, Yanmen performs meritorious service, and poetic talent overwhelms Chang'an. Such heroes, even if someone turns a blind eye, hears and doesn't hear, will they be buried?"
Fang Yi smiled and said: "But if it were not placed in the bag, the cone would not show its sharpness."
Everyone nodded in agreement. When Li Shan went to Shandong that day, Master Li sent his personal guards to accompany him and asked Li Shan to carry a letter. This gave him the opportunity to plan.
"Brother Huairen should indeed come and say thank you." Zhang Wenguan interrupted and said with a smile, "Aunt Changsun did a great job."
"It's about Huairen getting engaged..."
Yang Siyi urged: "Why don't you go and say thank you? We will go to Dongshan Restaurant for a drink later!"
"That's right, that's right." Li Zhaode shouted: "I gave the order this morning that the restaurant will not accept outsiders. It is specially for Brother Huairen to welcome the wind and wash away the dust!"
Li's house was not big, and Changsun had long heard the commotion outside. Looking at the young man who came slowly and prostrated himself on the ground, he smiled and said: "Only by being kind to others and being kind and righteous can you make many friends."
"Thank you, aunt."
"Get up quickly." Mrs. Changsun looked at it carefully. He still had a jade tree facing the wind and his posture was tall and straight, but compared with what he thought before, he was more energetic and less elegant.
"Huairen, why are you a little darker again?"
After hearing this, Li Shan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He cupped his hands and said, "Auntie, don't worry, Brother Demou is still as beautiful as ever."
Changsun covered her mouth and smiled, "I have been traveling north for half a year and have made many meritorious deeds, but I can't take risks myself again. Your mother will be in trouble day and night..."
"My nephew understands." Li Shan paused and explained: "The battle at Yanmen and then the overnight pursuit may seem dangerous, but in fact the victory is certain. My nephew does not dare to fight rashly."
Changsun nodded slightly, knowing that Li Shan's explanation was aimed at Li Kai, who followed him out of the country.
"Sanlang has already sent two letters." Changsun said slowly: "When it comes to Xia City... it was all founded by Huairen. Is Sanlang worthy of the important task?"
"Auntie, don't you know what Brother Demou is capable of?" Li Shan said with a smile: "The reputation of Li's Danyang House in Longxi has been bowed to by all the powerful families in the county. He took over Xia City, sorted out the accounts, and kept everything in order. He is much better than his nephew.
.”
Changsun shook his head, "I still have to thank Huairen."
"I don't dare to be an aunt. Thank you so much."
To be honest, when Li Kai became the acting county magistrate, he was just going to gild it, and Li Shan was willing to help. Since he wanted to help, he didn't want to be picky about it, so he simply changed hands in Xia City.
But Xia City seems to be just a market, but its status in Daizhou is not low, and it is not just a gathering place for merchants.
From Daizhou to Shuozhou, Xia City is the real starting point of this trade road in Yunzhou. This trade road has brought huge profits to the merchants who gathered here, and it has also brought needed goods to Daizhou.
population, cattle and horses.
Ma Yin is now very important in the court. Now one end is in Princess Pingyang's Mansion, controlled by Chai Shao, and the other end is in Xia City. Countless merchants transport grain and grass to Xia City in exchange for Ma Yin, Tai Pu
The eyes of those at the temple were red, and they wrote several times to suggest that such a major event should be handled by Taipu Temple.
Moreover, so much grain and grass was transported to Xia City, only a small part was used to make wine, and most of it was stored as military rations.
In other words, what Li Shan handed over was just a Xia market, but what Li Kai got was more than just a Xia market.
The Changsun family has always taken great care of Li Shan. Originally it was out of pity, but now it is not just out of personal emotions.
"We are already engaged. As for when we will get married..." Changsun changed the subject, "Then you and Cui Sheren will discuss it."
Li Shan couldn't help but grin. Cui Xin had already said at Yanmen Pass that he would have to wait until he had haircut... In other words, he would have to wait until he was fifteen, and there were still four years left!
