Lu Rou did not tell Li Tai whether the clothes donated by Daxingtai were sewn with secret edicts, but she told him something that was needed right now, which was the details of the Jingzhao Shi family.
The Shang Yuan family of historians has settled in the township for nearly a century, but the Jingzhao family of historians, who are more established in the township, only moved in in the past ten or twenty years.
"Shi's family was born in Gaoping Town, Benyuan Prefecture. He gained merit from the Ding Wanqi Chounu rebels, and his clan leader Shi Gui was appointed as the governor of Yuan Prefecture. During the rebellion of Marquis Mo Chen Yue, Da Xingtai succeeded to lead the army, and Shi Gui Fu Yue,
Gaoping, Li Wansui and other brothers conspired to kill him. After Hou Mo and Chen Yue were revolted, the Wansui brothers and others became the governors of the territory, and the Shi clan members moved to Jingzhao..."
Gaoping Town is located in the northern part of Shaanxi and the eastern part of Longxi Province. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was used to prevent and control barbarians in Hexi Province. It was a military town like the Six Towns. In the early years of the Six Towns rebellion, Hu Chen, a resident of Gaoping Town, also rebelled. Hu Chen died in the battle.
Later, Wanqi Chounu continued to lead his tribe in rebellion.
This rebellion lasted for several years and was finally put down until Er Zhu Tianguang led He Bayue, Hou Mo Chen Yue and other Beizhen warriors to enter the pass.
This historian was able to serve as the governor of Yuanzhou after the rebellion was put down, which shows that he was very powerful. It was just bad luck that he was on the wrong team. When Hou Mo Chen Yue killed He Ba Yue, he chose to support Hou Mo Chen Yue, but he was defeated by Li Li from the same town.
was replaced.
Li Wansui is Li Yuan, Li Xian, Li Yuan, and Li Mu. The three brothers can be said to be the best Guanlong heroes in the Western Wei Dynasty. They also have won the trust of Yuwentai. Their relationship is even closer than that of Yuwentai and Wuchuan.
Fellow countrymen.
When Li Tai heard Lu Rou calling Li Yuan by name, some scattered memories in his mind were suddenly disturbed. He pulled Lu Rou and asked: "Cousin, is Shi Jing who came to visit earlier a match? Is there any?
Heir?"
"I only met him once in my cousin's residence. We are traveling here from Chang'an. Why should I take care of his family affairs?"
After hearing this, Lu Rou shook her head and said, but Li Tai couldn't help laughing, which made Lu Rou feel confused.
Before this, Li Tai really had little memory of this Jingzhao Shi family, but because Li Yuan had the word Long Live, he suddenly remembered the Sui Dynasty general Shi Long Live.
If he remembered correctly, Shi Wansui should be from the Shi family that moved from Gaoping Town to Beijing, and he was also the son of Shi Jing who visited before.
It is indeed a bit pleasant to think about this. Shi Jing is Shi Gui's son, and Shi Gui was killed by Li Yuan's brothers. Li Wansui killed my father, so I called my son Long Live. This can be regarded as a spiritual victory method.
Winning ancient celebrities who have not yet made their fortunes into their ranks in advance is also the basic operation of time travellers. Although Li Tai is not sure whether there is Shi Wansui now, but he has already bolded and blackened the name Shi Jing in his heart.
However, this does not prevent him from blackmailing the Shi family. If the relationship is bad, you can deal with it slowly. If you miss this fat sheep, it will be difficult to find a more suitable one.
From this point of view, the historians of Jingzhao and the historians of Shangyuan may not have a conclusive relationship. They probably moved to Jingzhao from Gaoping Town and became relatives because they were eager to expand their hometown.
Just like party leader Zhao of Shang Yuan boasted that he was related to Zhao Gui, although the Jingzhao historian's family was in decline, he still had the foundation of being a military leader in Gaoping Town. For the Shang Yuan historian, he was still a person who needed to climb high.
Originally, Li Tai thought that the Shang Yuan historian had just donated a large amount of goods, and there was no way to blackmail him. Now that a Jingzhao historian appeared to support them, it would be a shame for him not to kill a handful of them.
In the past, with the weak power of others, He Basheng might not be able to do anything, and he might not be able to influence the historian in Jingzhao. But that historian himself is also in a lot of troubles, and Li Tai's current personnel relationship can just restrain them.
First of all, his cheap cousin Cui Quan was serving as the commander-in-chief of Jingzhao Yin. If the Jingzhao historians wanted to gain power through donations, they would not be able to bypass Cui Quan.
And the Li Yuan brothers, who have a deep hatred for their hometown, are now claiming their own power and are still trying to pretend to be the Li family of Longxi.
Li Tai happens to be a direct descendant of the Li family in Longxi, the most upright and popular person in the entire Kansai region. Based on this, it should not be difficult to strike up a conversation with the Li Yuan brothers.
The more Li Tai thought about it, the more he felt that this Jingzhao historian was just a fat sheep tailor-made for him. How could I be able to defeat you so well? It's a good thing Shi Wansui was weaned after he was born, otherwise he might not have enough diapers to change.
Lu Rou stayed overnight in the manor after being drunk, while Li Tai lit an oil lamp and stayed up late to compile a list of his own "losses" in preparation for negotiations with historians.
In the morning of the next day, members of the Shi clan came to visit again. This time it was two middle-aged men they had never seen before, and Shi Gong, who was bare-armed and carrying a bundle of thorns on his back.
The clothes of these people were soaked with dew and stained with grass clippings. They must have been rushing here before dawn, which shows that they were in an urgent mood.
After the two exchanged names, Li Tai ignored Shi Gong, who was crying and pleading guilty. Instead, he looked at the two visitors from the Jingzhao historian and said with a smile: "I'm here today. Why don't I see Shi Lang, whom I met yesterday?"
"That bad officer believed in the rumors in the countryside and slandered my husband Qingsheng. After returning home, he was punished by his parents and apologized behind closed doors."
The visitor from the Jingzhao family of historians glared fiercely at Shi Gong, who was kneeling aside in silence, and then spoke politely to Li Tai.
"Shi Lang, what is his crime? He is just being bewitched by evil spirits in his hometown. I haven't had time to thank him for helping my relatives get together. I will definitely thank him again when we get together again in the future!"
Li Tai said with a smile again. After hearing this, the faces of several historians suddenly turned dark again.
After saying the polite words, Li Tai stopped being polite, turned to Shi Gong and sneered: "I don't have the open-mindedness of Mr. Lin, nor the integrity and courage in my steps, so there is no point in making this gesture. Since I came to the country, your family has repeatedly disturbed my livelihood, so that
I have trouble sleeping and eating, and I even made some slaves invade my garden property. If it were not for the courage of the people in the village, my family property may have disappeared. If there is a gap in the village, I may lose the virtue of the village if it is judged by the officials. Since I have come to see you, it is business to discuss compensation, and the rest
There’s no need to show off your miscellaneous feelings!”
When Shi Gong heard this, a trace of embarrassment suddenly flashed across his brows, but when he saw the sharp-knife eyes of the two people from the Jingzhao family who were traveling with him, he still kowtowed on the ground and said: "I know that I am guilty of a big sin, but Li Lang is a poor fellow from the countryside.
If there is a punishment, no servant dares to respond..."
The folks at the banquet who were so proud the day before yesterday came to the door and showed themselves ready to be manipulated. Shi Gong felt miserable in his heart.
But now the decision-making power of the matter is no longer in his hands. When he asked the Jingzhao family to come forward, he thought that there was only He Basheng and the nominal Gao Zhongmi behind Li Tai. However, he did not expect that he would take the initiative to send more people.
Friendship backstage.
Although He Basheng had a respected position in the Western Dynasty, he was not too involved in such rural struggles. Gao Zhongmi was even less concerned when he lost power and surrendered.
However, they did not dare to underestimate Cui Gan, who was in charge of Jingzhao Yin. This time Daxingtai issued a reward, and Cui Gan was the most important executive official in the Jingzhao area. It was related to whether the Shi family who moved to Jingzhao could succeed.
Once they regained power, they couldn't tolerate the slightest mistake.
"I am neither a wise elder in the village nor an official in power, so I can't talk about reducing my responsibilities. But your family has damaged my garden, and I have to make compensation!"
Li Tai took out the list he had drawn up last night and handed it to Shi and others.
After reading the list, the two Shi clan members at the table frowned and looked unnatural, but they didn't say anything and just handed the list to Shi Gong.
"This, so much? Impossible, no..."
When Shi Gong saw the contents of the list, he jumped up from the ground in fright, looked at the two Jingzhao Shi clan members and trembled: "Two uncles, although I am sincere in accepting punishment, but this... Li Lang, Li Lang
The name he issued is really going to break the bank!"
Seeing Shi Gong being so excited, the two of them couldn't accept Li Taishi's blackmail, so they stood up and said, "Nostalgia is about peace, not contention. We are here today. We really have a solution."
The sincerity of the dispute, but can Lang Jun..."
"Why, do you think I am relying on this to make a profit? I would like to ask you two, which family relies on this to support their family? But if his slaves are kept safe in the house, how can I ask for compensation? Step on my grain field,
He damaged my farmhouse and killed my villagers, but I still tolerated it and did not harm any of his evil slaves."
Seeing the pretense, Li Tai stood up angrily and asked, "Does he want too much?"
It only requires 3,000 dan of grain, 100 craftsmen, 30 oxen and horses, 500 pieces of silk, and some bricks, tiles, and wood. It is much cheaper than Daxingtai.
"The former Shi Jing attacked me. Many of the farm fields were trampled, and several hectares of seedlings were destroyed. They are now spread out to dry in the fields. The farmers' tendons are broken and broken, and they are lying in shacks. You can see them! Come, get two sets of counters, and I will take a few people with you.
Is it really a false claim to enter the field and do a careful calculation?"
A few hectares of sedge seedlings had just been cut in the field and were ready to be planted in the air to grow wheat. The large estate with "more than 500 people" now only had more than 300 people left. When Li Tai said this, he immediately felt that the price he was asking was still too low.
Already.
"It's not necessary, it's not necessary! It's just that the information in the household is newly transferred to the state, and there is really a lack of savings. Can it be, can it be discounted a little, or, or can the payment be extended year by year?"
Two members of the Jingzhao Shi family said with embarrassed expressions.
"I can give you ten days to raise funds, but it must be paid before the month. Because in August I will go to Yizhou to visit Mr. Li and ask him to help me search for the whereabouts of my beloved. I will not be in my hometown."
When several people heard this, their faces turned pale. The title Li Shijun was very broad, but if the limitation of Yizhou was added, it could only refer to Li Shijun, who was ordered to guard the states in western Henan after the Battle of Mangshan.
Far!
The hatred of the villagers is especially strong against the country. When they were in Gaoping Town, the historians were slightly more powerful than the Li family. But now, the Li brothers are becoming more and more prominent, and the historians who moved to Jingzhao are getting worse and worse. Therefore, the historians are eager to use Daxingtai to popularize
When collecting materials, seek some potential to protect yourself.
"Since Mr. Lang has said this, he would like to know the story of his hometown. After a great disaster, it is not easy to survive. I beg you, Sir, to have mercy. My family will definitely raise money before the month!"
The two Jingzhao historians looked at each other, no longer daring to bargain, and said to Li Tai with a long bow.
These words sounded a bit pitiful, but Li Tai didn't really want to put his family to death.
In the final analysis, those who flirt first are cheap, and they will be beaten to death without complaint. If the Shi family hadn't taken the initiative to provoke him, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to this family at all. After all, there were so many big goals in front of him.
