Wrangling with the wealthy family for next year's spring plowing, and having to control the wealthy family to accommodate the people... this is a hard job.
When Wei Zheng and Cui Hao visited Shandong, their most important task was to appease the people of Shandong.
But as a minister of the East Palace, his most important task was to prevent Shandong from war. This was also the key to Li Jiancheng gaining credit in front of Li Yuan.
But Ling Jingdu followed Li Daoxuan throughout most of Hebei Province... In other words, everyone had finished the work, everyone had taken all the credit, and it was hard to say whether there were any leftovers.
Almost in a moment, Wei Zheng was sure that Ling Jing must have surrendered to the King of Qin.
Over there, Cui Hao and Qinghe Ling were about to enter the city, but Wei Zheng suddenly walked over and asked with a smile: "Unexpectedly, Huairen and Ling Gong also have friendship."
"That's right." Li Shanqiang smiled and said, "That's the word Mr. Ling chose for his little brother."
"I don't dare." Ling Jing waved his sleeves with a cold face.
Su Dingfang was already dead-set, but Ling Jing was different... He had promised to move to Chang'an before, thinking that Li Shimin was just borrowing his name from King Xia's old subordinates.
Unexpectedly, Prince Li Jiancheng counterattacked in a desperate situation, forcing Li Shimin to focus on the East Palace lineage in appeasing Shandong, and even Wei Zheng and Cui Hao were ordered to inspect Shandong.
Under this situation, Li Shimin sent an urgent letter to Guantao, and finally... Ling Jing, who was almost sixty years old, was forced to leave the mountain and follow Li Daoxuan to various prefectures in Hebei in person.
For this reason, Ling Jing was quite dissatisfied with Li Shan... This was also the reason why Li Shan came to pick him up.
Seeing that Ling Jing's attitude towards Li Shan was not very polite, Wei Zheng was even more surprised. Li Shan didn't care about this. Those things can be said publicly, and there are more than a hundred people in the village who decided to move to Chang'an. This kind of thing It's impossible to hide it forever.
After listening to Li Shan's brief narration, Wei Zheng praised: "The Turks plundered, helped with righteous indignation, and used medical skills to save lives... No wonder Ling Gong was so generous as a gift."
Ling Jing was helpless and could only hold his nose and nod.
"Liu Heitai was appointed the head. During this period, thanks to Ling Gong's comfort, the remaining soldiers abandoned their weapons and returned to the villagers."
Facing Wei Zheng's deliberate compliment, Ling Jing sneered and said, "It would be fine if only Liu Heita raised his troops. The Turks plundered Hebei, and even Beizhou would not be spared. Xuancheng can sit still in Chang'an!"
Wei Zheng had nothing to say, his words were unpleasant and his mouth was vicious... because Wei Zheng was also from Shandong.
But this old man has always been like this, otherwise he wouldn't be so popular under King Xia back then.
The key is that Ling Jing got it right.
You, Li Jiancheng, suppressed the King of Qin and promised to conquer personally, but you have been delaying in sending troops... Over the years, wars have been going on in Hebei, but Beizhou has never suffered from military chaos, and this time the Turks invaded Beizhou, which made the Shandong nobles quite dissatisfied.
And Wei Zheng had no reason to point his finger at Ling Jing. He was worried about his hometown and wanted to appease the people. Could it be that he had made a mistake?
Even if the news reaches the capital, even if Ling Jing openly throws himself into Prince Qin's palace, the saint will not blame him for it... There is no reason for the East Palace.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Ling Jing turned and left. Although he and Wei Zheng were colleagues back then, they were not familiar with each other... Well, in fact, Wei Zheng was kidnapped by Dou Jiande.
Li Shan yawned out of boredom. His work and rest schedule had not been regular in the past two days. After all, living together... was also his first time.
It was hard to eat meat, but when night came... my thoughts started to get wet on the ground.
I went to bed late and plowed the fields for a long time before going to bed, so I naturally woke up late.
Just as everyone was preparing to enter the city, there was suddenly a commotion at the city gate, the sound of blades being unsheathed, and angry roars. Order Qinghe personally led his people to rush over.
After a while of commotion, Li Daoxuan strode over.
"Um?"
"I heard about this yesterday." Li Daoxuan whispered: "A branch of the Cui family in Qinghe occupied other people's property and Zhuangzi, causing a big disturbance."
Li Shan curled up lazily, found a place to bask in the sun, and nuzzled at Wei Zheng, "Brother Xuancheng is inspecting Shandong to appease the people. We must not ignore such things."
There is no need to think about it. After the war, the aristocratic families annexed the fields and just operated normally. This was unavoidable for thousands of years in ancient times.
Zhang Xuansu added: "The Turks entered Koubeizhou and looted Zhuangzi when they passed through Qinghe County. Their family was destroyed, except for one son who survived. He was later taken south by Liu Heitai's troops. After the First World War in Wei County, he became a prisoner and returned home a few days ago. I found that all the fields in Zhuangzi were occupied by the Cui family branch, and there was no way to complain. I just entered the city with a knife and was arrested."
Li Shan and Wei Zheng's expressions changed and they looked at each other.
In the prisoner camp outside Wei County, Wei Zheng promised to distribute rations, return the soldiers to their hometowns, resettle them immediately, and reunite their families.
Wei Zheng glanced over there and saw that Cui Hao had already passed by. He thought for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Brother Xuansu, in what name does Cui refuse?"
"A thief."
Li Shan sneered and said, "Brother Xuancheng, you really can't ignore this matter!"
Wei Zheng's face was a bit dark. He encountered this kind of thing when he first arrived in Qinghe. He had solemnly promised in Wei County before that he would be exempted from all crimes... He couldn't just say it and let it go, right?
Thinking of the possible conflict with the Cui family of Qinghe... Wei Zheng had a headache.
But the problem is that if this matter cannot be handled properly...or if Wei Zheng sides with the Cui family in Qinghe and the news spreads, there will definitely be no problem in appeasing Shandong, but appeasing the people...will probably fail.
When the captives return home and their property is taken away, who knows if there will be a second Liu Heita?
It can be said that the first time Liu Heita raised an army was because Xia King Dou Jiande was mercilessly killed.
However, Liu Heitai's second wave of troops was able to sweep through most of Hebei and fight all the way to the Yellow River. Many state capitals revolted and joined forces. A considerable part of the reason was that Qi Wang Li Yuanji, Luozhou General Manager Li Yuan and other Tang army generals searched and arrested Liu Heitai's remaining party killed his people, seized his property, and exterminated them all.
Wei Zheng took a deep breath and strode towards the city gate.
Li Shan didn't care about this, since he was about to return to Chang'an anyway.
Zhang Xuansu sighed: "The Cui family of Qinghe is listed among the five surnames and seven families, but after all, the inheritance has been passed down for a long time, and there will always be unworthy descendants."
This is so normal, just think about the Jia clan members in the Red Mansion. Li Shan waited for a long time and saw that the matter was not over yet, so he stepped forward to watch the excitement.
A young man was being tied up and thrown in the corner. The two people who were patrolling Shandong... Cui Hao was helping his relatives but not the family. Wei Zheng's face was already very ugly.
A Zhuangzi plus a small amount of land naturally has little weight in the eyes of Qinghe Cui.
But the problem is that the ancestor of the Cui family in Qinghe settled here in the early Western Han Dynasty. It has been almost a thousand years, and the population has flourished.
In the eyes of Cui's side branch, these properties are just a piece of fat... What's more, they have been swallowed into the stomach, how can they be willing to spit it out?
Well, even if he spits it out, it can't be done at this time... Wei Zheng almost forced Cui Hao to let the Cui family's branch hand over the property.
However, Li Shan, who was watching the fun, didn't expect that trouble would come to him because he was just watching the fun.
The tied young man stared at Wei Zheng with indignation... Although the latter was speaking for him, in the eyes of the young man, it was you, Wei Zheng, who had promised that day that all the captives would be exempted from their crimes when they returned home... Not to mention His family was ruined and he was taken south.
At this moment, the young man suddenly became excited, his body suddenly jumped up, and he fell heavily to the ground. He just shouted at the top of his voice: "Li Langjun, Li Langjun!"
Among the people present, except for Li Daoxuan, a descendant of the clan, there was only one named Li, Li Shan.
After a moment, countless eyes focused on Li Shan, who was looking up to the sky and yawning.
