In other words, he doesn't like to make short-term plans, especially plans that are interlocking with causes and consequences, because he has suffered losses in this regard.
Because you don’t have many resources, you may encounter unexpected situations at every step, and every unexpected situation will have an impact... Therefore, you only need to determine the long-term goals and then move forward step by step.
If you encounter an accident, solve it.
Li Shan had arranged in advance to drag down the Wenxi Pei family's Western Household, but he did not expect that such huge profits, coupled with his excessive publicity, would bring down the Taiyuan Wang family, the Jie County Liu family, and the Hedong Xue family.
Also attracted.
The arrival of these three families was an accident, which also put Li Shan at a disadvantage, but almost at the same time, another accident also appeared.
Pei Huaiyi walked out of the post house expressionlessly, and the entourage behind him said angrily: "This guy is so rude!"
It had been three days since he arrived in Dai County. Except for the first meeting in the city, Pei Huaiyi had never seen Li Shan again. It was said that the acting magistrate was so busy that he couldn't even eat.
In the only meeting, Li Shan ignored him and did not mention anything serious.
Walking into a large house, Pei Huaiyi smiled and greeted two middle-aged people. One was a descendant of the Liu family in Jie County, and the other was a descendant of the Xue family in Hedong. They were both stewards in the clan who were responsible for handling common affairs.
They are also very familiar with each other... However, the descendants of the Taiyuan Wang family, who are among the fifth and seventh surnames, are not here.
"Brother Huaiyi, you still haven't seen anyone?" Liu Xi was a little surprised and said with a smile: "It is said that it was Grand Duke Hong who recommended him to be the acting county magistrate..."
Xue Zhuo shook his head at the side and said: "I heard from my clan brother that Li Huairen is a very famous person and an extraordinary young hero..."
"Brother Bo Bao has a good eye." Pei Huaiyi smiled, "This person does have some power..."
Bo Bao is the character name of Xue Shou, who joined the army in the Tiance Mansion Record Office.
There must be a reason for deliberately avoiding each other. Pei Huaiyi vaguely guessed what Li Shan was thinking... Then he smiled coldly, "The Pei family, the Liu family, the Xue family, the three prominent families in Hedong, plus the Taiyuan Wang family, can you, Li Huairen, stop you?"
?
If you, Li Huairen, hadn't been appointed acting county magistrate and were on good terms with Li Gaoqian, you wouldn't be qualified to participate at all!
This is shameless!
Pei Huaiyi was about to speak and put pressure on Li Shan. Suddenly, a servant from outside came running in, bowed and said, "Mr. Lang, please post on behalf of the county magistrate."
"Huh?" Pei Huaiyi sneered, took it and looked at it, "Finally willing to show up."
Seeing Pei Huaiyi walking out, Liu Xi glanced at Xue Zhuo and whispered hesitantly: "Can I say hello to Brother Wang?"
Xue Zhuo said nothing, looked at Pei Huaiyi's face, and shook his head slightly.
Five surnames and seven families are the first-class families in the country, but there is competition among the families... Now in the court, the Wenxi and Pei families have an absolute advantage, and the Liu family and the Xue family are also in the East Palace and Tiance Mansion.
There are some outstanding civil and military figures with high status, but the Wang family in Taiyuan is much worse.
Nowadays, there are only two people that the Wang family in Taiyuan can use. One is Wang Renbiao's father Wang Yu, Princess Shang Tong'an, who serves as the governor of Suizhou, and the other is Prince Zhongyun Wang Gui, the first confidant of the Prince of the East Palace.
However, Wang Yu has a mediocre talent and has no great achievements, and Wang Gui... Although he was nominally from a branch of the Wang family in Qi County, Taiyuan, his great-grandfather Wang Shennian and his grandfather Wang Sengbian defected to Nanliang a hundred years ago, so they have a very distant relationship with the direct line of Taiyuan.
.
Seven families with five surnames, seven families with five surnames... Pei Huaiyi thought in his heart that the Pei family might be changed to the Jiang County Pei family in the future, and would have the same name as the Cui family in Qinghe County, the Li family in Longxi County, and the Wang family in Taiyuan County.
These thoughts lingered in Pei Huaiyi's mind until he entered the main hall and saw Li Shan and Wang Jin of the Wang family of Taiyuan sitting opposite each other.
Liu Xi and Xue Zhuo looked at each other, and their hearts twitched... Obviously, this young man clearly understood the distance between the four families. Wang Jin should live outside the city. Logically speaking, so It can't be done in a short time.
Li Shan stood up with a smile, extended his hands to invite everyone to sit down, and then asked his servants to make tea... Well, Wang Jin brought the tea boy himself, and even the utensils were brought by others.
"Huairen has been too busy these days, and all the visits he made were in vain." Liu Xi complained with a smile. He and Liu Jun, whose life was saved by Li Shan, were cousins and were very close. Even the Liu family in Hedong half a year ago If they intend to marry, the young lady is Liu Xi's sister.
Before Li Shan could speak, Wang Jin on the side said in surprise: "Isn't Huairen reciting poems and composing essays these past two days?"
Xue Zhuo asked jokingly: "I have heard about "The Theory of Love and Lotus" for a long time, and I also like "Spring River Flowers and Moonlight Night". Huairen also has a famous work handed down to the world?"
"Don't dare to take it, don't dare to take it..."
"Huairen doesn't need to be humble." Wang Jin smiled and said: "It is indeed a masterpiece that can be handed down from generation to generation. Let's listen to someone recite it!"
"The mountain is not high, if there are immortals, it will be famous..."
Although they all took care of the general affairs of the clan, they were also children of aristocratic families who were familiar with poetry and books. The three of them listened attentively. When they heard "This is a humble house, but I am virtuous and kind", they all leaned forward with solemn expressions.
Li Shan smiled lightly, feeling very sorry... Liu Da, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I was forced this time, I was really forced!
After the room was quiet for a moment, Xue Zhuo sighed: "This article complements "The Theory of Love and Lotus". It is such a good article!"
Indeed, "Shuo Ai Lian" uses lotus as a metaphor for a gentleman, and "Inscription on a Humble Room" uses a humble room to express noble conduct, which has the same purpose.
Li Shan muttered in his heart that it was all Mrs. Cui's fault. If it hadn't been for "Ai Lian Shuo" first, he would not have copied the "Inscription on the Humble Room" the day before yesterday... No, this is not Miss Cui's fault, it should be Zhang Wenguan. If this guy hadn’t dragged me to Furong Garden that day, why would it be like this!
Liu Da, if you want to blame, just blame Zhang Wenguan!
Just as he was thinking about these messy things, Li Shan suddenly felt that Liu Xi and Pei Huaiyi across from him looked a little weird... Well, we are sitting here discussing smuggling, sharing the spoils, and digging into the corners of the country with a hoe. How are you doing? Who can write this "Inscription on a Humble Room"?
Who are you scolding?
Uh-huh, don’t even let yourself go?!
Li Shan had no idea. Wang Jin saw the "Inscription on a Humble Room" by accident. It was not written for him at all!
Liu Xi couldn't help laughing and changed the topic. He talked about what he had seen and heard in Dai County in the past few days. After a while, he asked: "I heard that the caravans are mostly ready and they will leave the border in a few days?"
"It's much worse." Li Shan didn't shy away from it. "There's still a lot of tea, salt, and jade pot spring production is not big, and there are many gaps. There's also a shortage of porcelain and lacquerware."
"Huairen..."
Halfway through Liu Xi's words, Li Shan stood up straight across from him and said seriously: "Please help me."
Pei Huaiyi said flatly: "Exchange salt and tea for wine."
Liu Xi closed his mouth, and Wang Jin looked at Li Shan with a serious face.
After a long time, Li Shan sighed: "A bowl of soup cakes is placed on the table. Brother Huaiyi won't even let me take a sip of the soup!"
