Chapter 846 Boring days, how to pass the time

The waiting time is always so boring, but it takes a long time to return to Chang'an, whether from Songzhou or from the Western Regions, so Li Chengqian had to find some fun for himself.

A few days ago, the "Agricultural Reclamation Corps" matters were not resolved. The major families of the five surnames and seven hopes always ran to him for various reasons to step on the plate and find out the slightest. But now that things have been done, these guys ran faster than rabbits, and they disappeared overnight, and they were all so realistic that they were deadly.

But these guys should be depressed at home now, right? After agreeing to countless conditions, they finally found that the so-called "corps" was just a name and had nothing substantial at all. No one would be in a good mood.

But what does this have to do with Li Chengqian? As long as he is in a good mood, it is always his favorite thing to build his happiness on the pain of others.

So he decided to go to various major families to check out, and the first one he chose was the Taiyuan Wang family.

"Master, come to visit the Prince?" Old man Wang Gui was discussing the farm contract with his country relatives in the small reception room behind, but was interrupted by the old housekeeper knocking on the door.

"He still dares to come? This time he has cheated five surnames and seven hopes and counted large families, but he dares to climb the door of my Wang family?" A 'young young man in his thirties jumped up in a daze.

"Sit down, have you read such a reckless book for decades into the dog's belly?" Wang Gui glared at the 'Little Young', turned to the old housekeeper and said, "Please ask His Royal Highness to go to the front hall to serve tea, and I will arrive soon."

"Yes, lord!" The old housekeeper just came to inform Lao Wanggui. As for how to deal with it, he couldn't help it. After hearing Lao Wang's arrangement, he immediately retreated.

"Uncle, why are you so timid now? Thinking of Li Chengqian..." The 'young young man in his thirties became rampant again when he saw that the house was gone.

"Didn't you hear me telling you to shut up? Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian are also what you can call? The way of being a villain in front of others and the way of being a man behind others is also a tradition that my Wang family should have?" Wang Gui scolded without hesitation.

This "young young" is just unreliable and has no scheming at all. When encountering something, he jumps up and squirts. But when he really asks him to go to the person in front of him, the person becomes another way, and he has no way of squirting at all.

And it's okay to swear randomly, but the key is that you can't spit it out. In the end, you won't be laughed at by others, and even your family will be implicated. Just like Wang Wenzhao at the time, if it weren't for that kid's performance, why would the relationship between the Wang family and Li Chengqian be so staggered?

After calming down, he glared at the "Little Young" again. Wang Gui left the small living room and walked towards the front hall in an erectile squad. He was thinking about the purpose of Li Chengqian coming, and at the same time he was thinking about how to talk to Li Chengqian for a while.

But no matter how long the road is, there will be a time when we walk. Wang Gui's family will never be bigger than the palace. After a tea time, Lao Wang has arrived at the front hall: "My memory, Wang Gui has met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Mr. Wang, don't be so polite. You are Xiaotai's teacher. Xiaotai is my brother. Then you are the teacher of my palace." Li Chengqian's face smiled as bright as a flower, but no matter how he looked, he was filled with gloating.

"I wonder what your highness is important here?" After pretending to be polite, Lao Wang went straight to the point. Given his relationship with Li Chengqian, it was really difficult for this old guy to raise interest in bringing parents to the prince.

"It's nothing, I just haven't seen Master Wang for a long time. Come and have a look." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

Haven't seen each other for a long time? Wang Gui had to pick up a big finger at Li Chengqian's shamelessness and said hello to him. An hour ago, the two of them greeted him in the court, but this time it turned out that they hadn't seen each other for a long time. How can a person's face look thicker?

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is not here to come and make fun of my Wang family, right?" Wang Gui didn't want to have a hoarse fan with Li Chengqian. He looked at his face and resisted the urge to fill his old fist and asked in a deep voice.

"Where did Master Wang start? What happened to the Wang family? What is the reason for this palace to come to see the joke in person?" Li Chengqian said with a clear question, and his heart was already full of joy.

I like to see these old guys who are so angry that they hate them, but they have no choice. This will make the pleasure of bullying in his heart infinitely expand.

"Why should your highness ask me knowingly?" Old Wang is now mute and cannot say that he has suffered. He can't say that the major families are so active for the sake of the "corps". In this way, all families are suspected of treason, and it is easy to confiscate the house.

However, since Lao Wang had already said this, Li Chengqian simply stopped pretending to be stupid. After breathing a long sigh, he asked: "Master Wang, I just want to ask if this farm is useful to your Wang family. If your Wang family or the five surnames really think this farm is a burden, I can suggest to my father to take it back!"

How to answer this? It is of course useful to keep the farm in your hands. Even if you don’t have the “corps” in your hands, the farm will have a certain effect. This cannot be denied no matter what. If it is really useless, major families have already blown up temples, so how can they stay in their own homes and sulk?

"If the king doesn't answer, I will assume that you have made a promise." Li Chengqian cursed his smile and said seriously: "I know that the purpose of your contracting the farm is for the 'agricultural reclaiming corps', but you really think that having military power in your hands is a good thing? People's ambitions will always expand with the rights in your hands. Do the five surnames still want greater rights after having military power?"

"No, nothing is wrong." Wang Gui shook his head and denied: "The aristocratic family does not need military power, and the purpose of contracting the farm is not for the so-called 'corps'. Your Highness misunderstood."

"If it weren't for the 'corps', then why would the King of War think that the farm is a burden? You should know that the output of a farm is quite large. Cattle, sheep, and poultry do not count, how much is the value of such a large piece of land? Is the King of War not counting it?" Li Chengqian stared at Wang Gui and asked almost word by word.

"But..." Wang Gui wanted to say that the place was on the border, and no matter how large the territory was, what was the use of it? But when he thought that Li Chengqian wanted to take back these farms, he swallowed this sentence again.

Because Li Chengqian was right, for aristocratic families, it is not important to raise anything. What is important is that there is another piece of land. This alone is enough to make emerging nobles crazy jealous. This is a benefit that is many times better than the number of households in fiefs. No matter what, you have to hold it in your hands.
