Chapter 50 The Li Family Father and Son

The aristocratic families have been entrenched in the local area for thousands of years and have great power. When they are extremely prosperous, they can even overwhelm the government and have overwhelmed the power.

But the aristocratic families are like water. Although they have great power, they are destined to have their flaws. The children of the aristocratic families will always make the most beneficial choices for themselves and the most beneficial to their families in the face of interests. As for the others, they most likely do not care.

At first, because the court deliberately weakened the power of the Guanlong clans in the Northwest Prefecture Army, the Guanlong clans in the northwest were tied together, so they naturally worked together and caused a lot of trouble for Li Ke. However, when Li Ke opened the Wuwei Warehouse, the grain pressure was no longer effective, and it was profitable to deliver the grain at this time, their minds changed and their position became less firm.

Although the Li family Guzangfang was famous for the noble families in Liangzhou, the rest of the families had no dependent relationship with him, but they were only related to interests, so they could follow the words of the Li family. However, now that their interests have partial conflicts, the previous agreement is naturally not so reliable.

Lanzhou, Jincheng, Li's Mansion.

This matter is of great importance and was personally handed over to Li Huaiqing by Li Junji. Therefore, when all the families expressed the intention of opening grain, Li Huaiqing went to Lanzhou in person to ask Li Junji for instructions on this matter.

"Dad, all these Liangzhou families are short-sighted. For the sake of just twice the profit of grain, they are willing to disobey my father's words and open the warehouse to release grain." Li Huaiqing sat in front of Li Junji, thinking of the faces of the heads of each family, and felt uncomfortable in his heart and said to Li Junji.

Li Huaiqing's words were full of complaints, but Li Junji's expression was very plain when he listened to Li Huaiqing's words, and he didn't feel any dissatisfaction or surprise.

Li Junji said: "I knew that Li Ke had opened the Wuwei Cang and knew that this was the result. Those people were short-sighted and only looked at Li Ke not really touching them. They looked profitable again. It would be strange if they were not moved."

Li Huaiqing asked, "What should we do now?"

Li Junji replied: "Since they want to release food, they will let it go. Since they have found you, they have already decided to release food, and some have even secretly released it in private."

This is beneficial. Even if Li Junji lives in the forbidden area, the heads of each family cannot resist the subordinates' management. The so-called banned grain has been destroyed by name as Li Ke opens a warehouse and sells "military rations" at a high price.

Li Junji's meaning was naturally clear, but Li Huaiqing was still a little unwilling to accept it. The Li family in Longxi was a Guanlong family and the Li family in Longxi, and they dared to lie to disobey. As the future head of Guzangfang, it was strange that Li Huaiqing felt good in his heart.

Li Huaiqing said: "They dare to do this, so we should give them a little advice and let them know that they are powerful."

Li Junji looked at Li Huaiqing and shook his head and said, "You are wrong. Aristocratic families are different from the imperial court. Our Longxi Li family can hold the ox ears of the Guanxi family and make the world look up to you. Is it because of the power?

No matter how powerful our Li family is, can we still surpass the imperial court and the decisive crown prince? As a noble family, we have taken a fork in the way. What we need to cultivate is hope, so that we can ensure that our parents Li can remain prosperous."

"My father said, I've recorded it." Li Junji's words were not serious, but Li Huaiqing responded carefully when he heard this.

Since Li Huaiqing took charge of the Li family and handed over the Guzang House to Li Huaiqing, Li Junji rarely accuses Li Huaiqing in person in order to maintain Li Huaiqing's prestige among the clan, but as long as Li Junji spoke, it must be an important matter, and Li Huaiqing dared not neglect it.

Li Junji said Li Huaiqing, looking at Li Huaiqing's appearance, he suddenly remembered something in his heart and asked Li Huaiqing: "Do you still have any contact with Dugu Yan from the Dugu family recently?"

Although Li Junji did not ask directly, Li Huaiqing could roughly guess what Li Junji meant. Li Huaiqing replied: "There has never been a deal recently."

Li Junji said: "It's good that this is good. Although Dugu Yan is younger than you, he is very cunning. He is not the eldest son, but he is eyeing the position of the head of the Dugu family. His father Dugu Shiren is too doting on him and loses the importance of the seriousness. He will sooner or later have trouble."

Li Huaiqing said in confusion: "The Dugu family's prestige in Liangzhou is second only to our Li family. If we can help him as the head of the family, Dugu can be used by us in the future. Wouldn't it be a good thing?"

Li Junji shook his head and said, "No, who is the head of the Dugu family? It is the Dugu family's affairs, and it is the Dugu Shiren's affairs. It has nothing to do with the Li family. It is a taboo for others to interfere in the internal affairs of others. If it is heard by others, how should others view our Li family? You need to remember that this matter is absolutely not feasible."

Li Junji's words were heard, and Li Huaiqing also knew the seriousness of what Li Junji said, and immediately said, "Don't worry, Dad, I remember it."

Dugu Yan's affairs had little to do with Li Huaiqing, and he didn't want to talk too much about this matter to Li Junji, so as not to make Li Junji even more dissatisfied.

Li Huaiqing hurriedly brought the words over and asked Li Junji: "From my father's opinion, it seems that he is intentional to allow each family to release food. Could it be that my father intends to write some articles on Li Ke's opening of the Wuwei Cang?"

Li Junji did not reply to Li Huaiqing's words directly, but asked first: "You are mostly in Liangzhou. Do you know how much military rations Li Ke has moved out of Wuwei Cang?"

Li Huaiqing thought for a while and replied: "About 40,000 shi per day, I moved for five days before, and at least 200,000 shi have been paid."

Li Junji nodded and said, "Liangzhou is an important town in the northwest, and Wuwei Cang is a northwest key warehouse. Most of the northwest border troops rely on Wuwei Cang to supply grain. The grain in Wuwei Cang must not be moved during wartime, but Li Ke has now violated a taboo to adjust grain without authorization, and it is the time to attack him."

Li Ke did not pass the Secretariat and opened Wuwei Cang without going through the Secretariat. This was not only Li Ke's fault, but also the crime of the Liangzhou Governor's Office, the Liangzhou Governor's Office and the Wuwei Cang Office. As long as they grasp their key points in this matter, they can take over the Liangzhou officials who are biased towards Li Ke. As long as they take down the position of Su Dingfang as the governor, the so-called suppression of the Guanlong clan will be left to nothing.

The dispute between aristocratic families and imperial power has always been like this. Aristocratic families will not easily confront the emperor head-on. Their way to resist the imperial power is to solve the person representing the imperial power, and stop when clicking.

Li Huaiqing asked, "Dad wants to impeach this matter in the court?"

Li Junji said: "Your Majesty has not been in a day or two to suppress the Guanlong family. Even if we make trouble in the local area, it will be useless. After all, the matter will be solved in the court."

Li Huaiqing said with some concern: "Dugu Su had visited Chang'an to visit Chang'an and wanted to discuss this matter with Changsun Wuji to deal with Li Ke together, but he was rejected by Changsun Wuji. Now Li Ke's status in the court is becoming more and more stable, and he is worried that if the company chief Sun Wuji refuses to take action, it will be difficult for us to accomplish things alone."
