Now if this money is sent to Shu County, it will naturally be a timely help for Li Xinchen. He must support this year. After this year, business travel will gradually increase, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. Taxation and commerce will naturally bring Li Xinchen sufficient income.
Gold and silver money.
Shu County is known as the land of abundance, and it has rarely been short of money in history. In the past, Shu County was most famous for Shu Brocade. Since the Han Dynasty, Shu Brocade has been the pillar industry of Shu County. The beautiful Shu Brocade is like gold and diamonds in the upper class in later generations.
Exist. However, due to successive years of war, the production of Shu brocade has become intermittent. Now, although Li Xingchen has asked Ouyang Mo to allocate manpower to organize and resume the manufacturing of Shu brocade, and sell it to various places through the trade routes that have gradually stabilized.
However, despite the help of Xiao Mohe to the east and the help of the Hongnong Yang family to the north, it will take some time for Shu brocade to really drive the business and economy of Bashu, and this period is undoubtedly the most difficult time. Li Xingchen is the most
He needed money but also had the least amount of money, so we can see how important Xu Ling's timely payment was.
While Li Xingchen lamented that this old man's actions were really surprising, he also had to lament that these aristocratic families only spent a thousand taels of gold, and he really didn't know how rich their background was.
The family has been undergoing changes for hundreds of years, but it has always been able to stay at the forefront and control the trends of the entire era. After all, its wealth and talent monopoly cannot be underestimated.
Perhaps for those in power, the aristocratic family is a cup of poison. Once they trust and rely on the aristocratic family for everything, then the entire dynasty is no longer under their control. The aristocratic family's huge strength and rich connections are enough to completely turn the emperor into a puppet. The Northern and Southern Dynasties
As generations change, most of the time it is the aristocratic families who are unwilling to be left alone and simply come to power directly. Therefore, all dynasties have been strictly wary of the aristocratic families. However, to be wary, they still have to use the aristocratic families. Otherwise, I am afraid that they will really not be able to leave the capital.
Become a polished emperor.
But no matter what, the successive generations of emperors have had a weakening effect on aristocratic families. At least now there are no longer such large families as Wang Xie, Xu Ling, and Wu Mingche, although their families are equally powerful.
He was powerful, but he had not yet completely controlled the entire court or even the country. It was far from the situation in the Eastern Jin Dynasty when he "knew there was a king but not an emperor".
However, despite the weakening, the aristocratic family still has a power that cannot be underestimated. Even a monarch like Chen Xu who was resolute and decisive in his youth did not dare to go too far or even threaten Xu Ling and Wu Mingche at this time.
Fall out with them before coming to the throne.
The conflicts and consequences caused by this were not something Chen Xu could bear. It was not impossible for the country to be destroyed and people to perish.
Today's aristocratic families are still a cup of poison. They want to profit from it, and they may even corrode their hearts. But if Li Xingchen wants to rise and become a white wolf with nothing, he has to drink this poison with his eyes open.
The former Hongnong Yang family had one cup, and the current Xu family has another cup.
At least in a short period of time, the help of these aristocratic families can help Li Xingchen stand up and rise as quickly as possible, and at least allow him to gain greater power than others.
This is enough.
As for how to rectify the family, that is a question that Li Xinchen should consider only after he has the ability to take over the whole world. Anyway, the prosperous Sui and Tang Dynasties in history also gave Li Xinchen enough experience and lessons, which he can slowly recall and summarize.
But now, of course, we need to agree to Xu Ling first.
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Li Xingchen smiled and cupped his hands.
Xu Ling nodded. He knew very well that Li Xinchen would not refuse the conditions he offered. In other words, the current situation in Bashu could not tolerate Li Xinchen's refusal or even hesitation.
What's more, for Li Xingchen, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages in the end. If it can't solve the urgent problem, the rest is unnecessary to discuss!
Xu Deyan looked at Xu Ling with some worry. He knew his eldest father's character and what people outside said about him, but his every move today seemed a little abnormal. Supporting Li Xingchen in this way was originally the result of discussion between the two.
decision, but Xu Deyan did not expect that Xu Ling would directly give out all the conditions, and seemed to have no intention of bargaining with Li Xingchen on this matter.
He is satisfied with all the talents Li Xingchen needs, including gold and silver, and at least for now it seems that he does not ask for anything in return.
Xu Deyan knew what Xu Ling wanted, but now was the time when Li Xinchen's future was uncertain. Xu Ling's support of Li Xinchen was certainly a shot in the arm for Li Xinchen, but on the contrary, for the Xu family, it was prematurely tied to Li Xinchen.
on this chariot.
No one knows whether this chariot will move forward according to Li Xingchen's plan, or whether it will crash soon or even tomorrow, killing everyone.
Xu Ling was betting on the entire Xu family, and he was betting on Li Xinchen's success.
In other words, he had already started to gamble like this when he sent Xu Deyan to Bashu.
Xu Ling was obviously very satisfied with Li Xingchen's answer, and said with a smile: "I won't say much else, Xiuyuan will bring everyone to you. And now there is a private matter..."
Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows, and Xu Ling looked at Li Xingchen with a smile: "This private matter is not my private matter, but yours, Shizhong. There is an old friend of yours who wants to see you, so you should go and see him. I have already asked him to
She is waiting in the wing on the west side, you can just go there."
Although Li Xingchen was a little confused, hearing Xu Ling's tone seemed to be a bit of fun and fun, which made him a little more curious. After all, everyone was already here, and it was obviously impossible for him to miss him.
At that moment, Li Xingchen said goodbye and left, and Xu Deyan took a step forward, frowned and asked: "Is it the one from the palace who is here?"
Xu Ling was silent for a moment, nodded slightly, and sighed: "There are so many true heroes in the world, and so many crazy women..."
Xu Deyan shook his head. He was not interested in interfering with Li Xinchen's personal affairs. As Li Xinchen's subordinate, he would not ask more questions. He immediately changed the subject and asked the question that he had been curious about just now:
"Father, is it too hasty to promise everything to the general at this time?"
Xu Ling raised his head and glanced at Xu Deyan: "So, you don't want to?"
Xu Deyan immediately shook his head decisively: "My eldest father always taught me to be loyal to work and then to my family. Now my grandson is a subordinate of General Zhenxi. He is eager to make achievements under General Zhenxi. My eldest father can spend all his money to help. Grandson
Of course I’m happy, but I just think it’s a bit risky for the eldest father to do this...”
Xu Ling suddenly smiled: "Adventure? Today, I am just talking about being a teenager, and I am as bold as you young people, so what?"
As he spoke, Xu Ling turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves, singing loudly: "If you don't grow up and abandon your filth, why don't you change your attitude? Take a ride on the horse and gallop, come to my guide. My husband goes first, come to my guide."
