In addition to the Gou Lai Wenxi Pei family, the Wang family from Taiyuan, the Liu family from Jie County, and the Xue family from Hedong also took the initiative to visit, and they had such great influence among merchants, which was beyond Li Shan's expectation.
But Yuan Xiaozheng's arrival was beyond Li Shan's expectation.
After Zhou Erlang and Fan Shiyi came back a few days ago, they reported to Li Shan the details of Yuan Xiaozheng. He made the same judgment as Fan Shiyi. This young man intended to defect to the Tang Dynasty.
But what surprised Li Shan was that Yuan Xiaozheng was so eager to come to Dai County.
Deliberately letting Zhou Erlang and his party leave the city for refuge in Yunzhong County is completely different from running to Dai County... The former can be said to be Yuan Xiaozheng's desire to defect to the Tang Dynasty, while the latter can be interpreted as Yuan Junzhang Intention to vote for Tang Dynasty.
At least, Yuan Junzhang hopes to establish a certain connection with Li Tang through the caravan... It is always a good thing to have an escape route.
Li Shan smiled and extended his hand to ask Yuan Xiaozheng to sit down. The latter sat respectfully behind Li Shan... This move made everyone look at him. This position cannot be sat casually.
Pei Huaiyi had a bad premonition in his heart. Yuan Xiaozheng's grandfather had served as Acting Governor Shi and was quite famous. In his heyday, his father Yuan Junzhang controlled Shuo and Yunzhou, with tens of thousands of elite men under his command. You actually learned from Li Shan? Be polite!
Liu Xi asked with a smile: "My good nephew has not returned to his hometown for many years, right?"
The Yuan family is from Mayi, Shuozhou, but because Yuan Kan was once the governor of Dai, the family moved to Dai County for many years. It was not until Liu Wuzhou launched an army and Yuan Junzhang married Liu Wuzhou's sister that he returned to Mayi.
Yuan Xiaozheng should be respectful.
Pei Huaiyihu asked: "How many days will it take for you to arrive in Dai County?"
"It's been three days."
Pei Huaiyi glanced at Li Shan, who was smiling, "Well, he arrived at the same time as me. This guy's mouth is so tight!"
But the key was not that Li Shan was tight-lipped. Pei Huaiyi quickly thought that Li Shan had not been seen in the past few days and was probably with Yuan Xiaozheng... What did they talk about?
Xue Zhuo squinted his eyes and looked at Yuan Xiaozheng, "I wonder why you are here?"
"I invited Xiaozheng to go to Dai County." Li Shan said nonchalantly: "Shuozhou has surrendered, but Yunzhou is still divided, and Turks often linger in Yunzhou. If you are not sure, how can I dare to form a caravan to go out?"
Li Shan tilted his head slightly and said in a commanding tone, "Whenever the caravan leaves the fortress, please ask Mr. Yuan to take care of it. Even if the war breaks out again, no damage can be done."
Yuan Xiaozheng prostrated himself on the spot: "I obey your orders."
Pei Huaiyi took a long breath and looked very ugly. Of course he understood the implication of this sentence. This was an almost naked threat from Li Shan... If you don't obey, believe it or not, let you Wenxi Pei's caravan come up with something. What accident?
Moreover, Yuan Junzhang is now separatist in Yunzhou, and he also attacked Mayi not long ago. The son of such a figure appears in Dai County... naturally he is here on behalf of his father.
Wang Jin looked at this scene with a wry smile. He was Wang Renbiao's cousin. He had heard his nephew mention Li Shan a long time ago... It was said that this man was gentle and gentle, and he was kind to others, but he didn't expect that he was so tough and sharp, and he had to force Pei Huaiyi to bow his head. .
If friends like Wang Renbiao, Li Kai or Pei Shiju were here, they would tell Wang Jin... This is Li Huairen's usual method.
Stay away!
Although Li Shan was determined to drag down the Wenxi Pei clan's Western Household, he would never allow himself to lose control... If there was nothing he could do, he would rather break up and find another way.
Tanimachi
The arrival of Yuan Xiaozheng broke the deadlock and gave Li Shan enough space and time to display his methods.
Moreover, Li Shan was sure that Pei Huaiyi had used so many methods before, which proved how seriously he took this matter. He would never give up this oily trade route.
Pei Huaiyi's eyes sometimes fell on Li Shan and sometimes on Yuan Xiaozheng, thinking over and over in his mind... Judging from Li Shan's tone, he should be related to Yuan Junzhang.
That means that one end of this trade route is in the hands of Yuan Junzhang, Yuan Xiaozheng and his son, and the other end is in the hands of Li Shan... Is it possible for me to replace it with Li Shan?
Pei Huaiyi quickly gave up this expectation and looked at Yuan Xiaozheng's respectful appearance... And if Li Shan was not sure, he would never let Yuan Xiaozheng appear here.
Moreover, Jiangxia County Duke Li Gaoqian secretly informed Li Shanxing that... the Prince of the East Palace knew about Li Shanxing's matter.
"Ahem." Wang Jin coughed twice and smoothed things over: "There is no problem in replenishing the goods in the market. As for Yuhuchun's share, please take care of Huairen."
"That's natural." Li Shan cupped his hands and said, "Actually, Brother Huaiyi doesn't need to worry. As long as there is no shortage of food, each family's share will naturally be the first."
Pei Huaiyi stood up and nodded with a wry smile, "I have long heard about the name of Dongshan Li Huairen, who healed the bones of the living dead and was a world-famous poet. These are just trivial things. It's just that many people doubt the origin of the Dukeship of Guantao County..."
On that day, Li Shan resigned from the throne on the grounds that the treatment of Princess Pingyang was a private matter. Although Li Yuan conferred the title to the Duke of Guantao County in recognition of his contribution to Shandong's planning, many people still had doubts.
"Today I have seen how I can do it, and my reputation will live up to my reputation."
Li Shan stood up, held Pei Huaiyi's hand enthusiastically, and said softly in a sincere tone: "I heard that Mr. Pei is a bipolar person. How dare I offend you? Today's facts are unavoidable. Since I am the acting county magistrate, I should For the sake of the county, I ask Brother Huaiyi to be magnanimous."
The matter has been settled, and Pei Huaiyi no longer puts on airs, uses force in his hands, and says angrily: "Is my brother an immeasurable person?"
"Thank you, brother. I'm ashamed of myself." Li Shan climbed up the pole, but his heart was a little churning. He still couldn't adapt to this... I felt like vomiting!
Pei Huaiyi smiled and said: "If you only look at Huairen's methods, he will become a pillar of the DPRK in the future."
"Brother, you are too praised." Li Shan said seriously: "I still need the support of the elders."
A quarter of an hour ago, the two of them were looking at each other coldly, but now they were chatting and laughing. Wang Jin had a strange feeling in his heart... If he hadn't known that they were discussing smuggling and dividing the spoils, he would have thought that they were doing it for state affairs.
Their eyes collided in the air, and both of them felt that the other's eyes were sincere.
Pei Huaiyi had already made up his mind and wrote a letter to his uncle later, trying to find a way to transfer Li Shan away... It would be best to transfer him to Jiangnan!
Li Shan thought in his mind that just going out to do business was not enough. How about asking Yuan Xiaozheng to do some tricks and stuff some materials into Wenxi Pei's caravan... Qi Laoliu happened to have some iron materials some time ago!
After a conversation that seemed genuine but was actually false, Li Shan sent everyone out the door and promised that the winery would reserve a batch of wine and wait for their caravans to pick up the goods!
Finally done, Li Shan let out a long sigh of relief, rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a little dizzy, and looked back at Yuan Xiaozheng, who was still respectful... Oh, a little ashamed.
Why are you ashamed?
In the past three days, Li Shan almost deceived Yuan Xiaozheng to death!
