Changsun Wuji explained carefully to Li Xiang why these big families came together. It turned out that all threats came from Li Xiang. There were indeed conflicts within them before, and it was also because of Li Xiang's products.
To.
But the leaders of several big families have brains after all. Their ability to reach this point is related to their unity. Fighting cannot affect the unity of the big family. If several big families are separated, then the entire big family will be affected.
The Tang court could easily dismantle them, so during the days when Li Xiang left the capital, these people came together again and regarded Li Xiang as their biggest threat.
"Do you feel scared?"
Changsun Wuji looked at Li Xiang with interest. After all, he could be regarded as a threat by several major families. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, only Li Shimin had enjoyed such treatment.
"I'm not afraid, but I do feel that there is a bit of trouble. People should continue to fight in life. Their alliance also makes me feel that I have a goal. It seems like what my uncle said, there are stories every day in Chang'an City. Once if
I have been away for too long, Chang'an City will give me a huge surprise."
Li Xiang said with a hint of excitement, this is not Li Xiang pretending to be calm, but he really feels the beating of his blood. If it is a pool of stagnant water after rebirth, Li Xiang will also feel that life is meaningless. Only the truly strong can
Make my life interesting.
"Go back to Chang'an with peace of mind. It's impossible to completely leave it to them. Didn't you leave a secret move? The emperor has already approved it. The area outside Liangzhou City has been set up as the Xiliang Protectorate. Your Majesty
He will serve as the guardian, and Zaterk will serve as the guardian of the palace."
After hearing this, Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was different from his previous plan, at least the general direction had not changed. The emperor's people were the guardians of the Protectorate, but he didn't know much about the local area.
, when the time comes, we will definitely have to rely on Zaterk. Although there is no way for Zaterk to take up the position directly, it is the same to hold power behind the scenes. If that kid can't even do this, then he is not worthy of following us.
"Is my uncle interested in the grasslands here? Are the ministers and wealthy people in Chang'an City interested?"
Li Xiang has been away from Chang'an for too long and does not understand some of the conditions there. Although he has a good plan to auction the pasture here, if no one is interested, he may not be able to sell the money.
The credit for his work will also be discounted.
"Half and half, but if this matter is left in the hands of these big families, they will definitely find a way to make this matter prosperous. If my guess is correct, they will definitely send people over to understand this.
The real situation is that if there is any benefit, they will never mind swallowing it up."
Changsun Wuji said helplessly, it is no longer the early years of the Tang Dynasty, and the strength of the imperial court has reached its highest state, but when facing these big families, it always feels a little powerless, so the imperial court is also weak in some aspects.
You have to give in, who allowed it to exist for so long? Various forces have penetrated into every aspect of society.
"If they really want to swallow it, then let them swallow it. The court will never give them such a large piece of land for free. Then they also need to spare a lot of funds. When they give up any industry
When the time comes, we can take advantage of the trend.”
Li Xiang immediately thought of other things in his mind. The big families are not printing money. If they want to buy the pasture here, they have to sell some other properties. Although they will have some savings in their hands,
But it is impossible to buy the pasture here. Li Xiang has been waiting for a long time. Even if it is an unprofitable property sold by several big families, Li Xiang's ability to turn stone into gold will make them regret it.
"You are right. Several big families have begun to operate in the country, but what they are selling are some not-so-good fields, as well as some mountainous areas. What is the use of those places you bought?"
Changsun Wuji said with some doubts, if all the fields being sold are good fields, then there is no need to mobilize anyone. Others have already bought them, but they are all dry fields that cannot be watered. Who is willing to buy these things?
Woolen cloth?
"Of course it is useful, but I won't buy it now. Their prices are not very low now. When they are in urgent need of money, I believe the price will drop again. Then I will buy them all. Don't worry.
It doesn't matter what kind of field it is, as long as it has soil."
Li Xiang showed a confident smile. Changsun Wuji next to him thought that this guy looked like a prodigal. He knew that it was easy for you to make money, but why did you buy a bunch of wasteland? And your father, when you went to the front line
In the days of , no matter where the land was released, you desperately searched for it and brought it to the East Palace, spending all the money you saved.
The two talked about other things, and Li Xiang went back to prepare. According to the imperial edict, Li Xiang only had three days to prepare, and he had to return to the capital in the remaining time. Changsun Wuji would still be here.
I was dealing with some other things at the same time, so I didn’t go back with Li Xiang.
Tuyuhun Guild Hall.
Before leaving, Li Xiang had to meet with Zaterk. After all, without the good situation before, Li Xiang had to appease this guy first.
"This is a reply. Your uncle rejected you..."
At the beginning, Zaterk once said that he would send a letter to his uncle, and then someone would come to join him. Unfortunately, this guy was too confident in himself. After the letter was sent, people responded immediately.
Zaterk immediately opened the letter and read it. Sure enough, it was an autographed letter from his uncle. He was once again embarrassed in front of Li Xiang. Zaterk didn't know how many times it was. He thought he still had some skills on the grassland.
Majestic, it seems like bullshit now. During the days he stayed in Chang'an City, my father had been trying to eliminate his own influence. It seemed that he had already had an idea.
"It doesn't matter, the situation has changed now..."
Fortunately, Zaterk did not recruit people on the grassland. If he had recruited several large tribes, Li Xiang would have just given him a staff member of the Protectorate. It is estimated that this guy would not be willing. He could have agreed at that time.
The most important thing is that this is the Protector. Now he has changed from the Protector to the Staff. Everyone knows the gap in the middle, but if you don’t have the bargaining chip in your hand, then you have to do whatever is arranged for you...
