Chapter 617 Big Brothers Gather in Chang'an County
In the Xiangrain Breeding Base in Chang'an County, this day was particularly lively, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the carriages and horses are like dragons.
The head of the big family from various state roads in the north, took the guard frame and finally arrived at this legendary forbidden area.
The fairy grain breeding base has a full military control, and the Qimen Dunjia maze guarding set up by Baifan, the Marquis of Lantian. It can be said that it is the safest place in the Tang Dynasty, so it is also called a forbidden place by the people.
Under the leadership and escort of the Right Wu Guard, the people from these big families were investigated three times, and finally they were put in the head of each family and a subordinate. Yuchi Gong personally guarded it and never allowed all the extra people to pour in.
Because Chang'an County only harvested potatoes, thousands of acres of sweet potatoes and corn waiting to be harvested.
"Brother Wenyong, it's been a long time since I've been gone!" A loud laugh came from the gate of Chang'an County. An old man in his seventies got off the car and greeted Zheng Wenyong, the leader of the Zheng clan who got off with him.
"Brother Bo Ming, I've been missing for a long time. I didn't expect you to come so early."
Wang Jue and Wang Boming are the current patriarch of the Wang family in Taiyuan. The two looked at each other and shook their heads and smiled bitterly. It was the first time they were invited to come this time. This was a helpless move. The camp had been chosen, and it would not work without corresponding behavior.
When he approached, Wang Jue asked in a low voice: "Brother, I didn't expect you to stand up for the Lantian Marquis. Could it be that your niece-in-law dares to threaten you?"
Zheng Wenyong shook his head and said, "Brother Bo Ming misunderstood. My Zheng family is connected to the King of Jin's Mansion. Although the Marquis of Lantian is a filial son, he did not threaten us. Besides, isn't you even this kind of backbone? A real man is so mighty that he can't help him?
It was really because he was sincere this time and the situation was urgent. On that day, Jian Zhi fought all over the hall in my Zheng clan. In the end, I, Zheng, was speechless. We helped out of recognition."
"Identify? Brother, why, do you agree to share the land and pay the grain? That is our ancestral property that has been passed down for thousands of years!" Wang Jue exclaimed.
Zheng Wenyong waved his hand and signaled him to keep a low profile, "Oh, it's hard to say anything! In short, I can say that Lantian Hou has a world-renowned heart, unlike the public enemy of aristocratic families we have known in the past. This person is really a selfless person, so this time he wants to change out of public intention. The reasons are very complicated. Brother Bo Ming later please suppress his emotions and listen to him say a few things. I personally think what he said is reasonable, and even for the sake of our aristocratic families.
Brother, don’t forget that changing the land is the business of all nobles. Lantian Hou is no longer a single boy. He is also a powerful nobleman with a family and a family. So from the perspective of land, he stands with us."
this……
Zheng Wenyong's words made Wang Jue extremely puzzled, and he wanted to ask a few questions in detail, but there were already a lot of cars and horses coming from behind. Before the two of them could chat, just like many old friends gathering, the scene was already chaotic.
"Brother Bo Ming, Brother Wen Yong, you two are here so early!" Cui Minshou, the head of the Cui clan of Boling, got off the car and began to say hello.
Before the three of them could finish the ceremony, Pei Renqi, the patriarch of the Pei clan of Hedong, walked up with a smile, and the patriarch of the Liu clan of Hedong was also followed by him.
"Brother Wen Yong, it is rumored that Marquis of Lantian is going to shake the foundation of the land. I wonder if this statement is true?" Pei Renqi asked. At this time, many people had occupied this place, and Pei Renqi's words attracted everyone's attention.
Zheng Wenyong hesitated a little. This question should not be answered by himself. However, since he was invited by himself to come, he could not refuse to give an explanation. So he nodded and said, "This statement is not a false statement, but it is not entirely true. It is just that we need to change the land measures. The foundation cannot be shaken. At most, we must pay some grain taxes."
"What?"
"He is so brave. A scholar has the eternal ancestral teachings for all taxes. Can he still dare to overturn the ancestral teachings?"
Everyone started to mess up.
An old man sneered, "Hmph, are there fewer ancestral teachings he overthrew? Since his birth, which one has been done according to the rules of ancestral teachings? From the girls' academy to freedom of marriage, from wars from all sides, to enemies all over the world, from the Beggars' Sect to the Entertainment City, I don't know what else he could not do with Lantian Hou."
Zheng Wenyong frowned a little, coughed lightly and said to the old man: "Brother Yang, the argument is not punishing, and it is not against the people! Change of land was discussed in the court's Political Consultative Hall. Marquis Lantian is just a person who acts. This matter is a state affairs, not a private matter of Marquis Lantian's family. Brother Yang is also asked to be careful of his words and merciless."
This old man was Yang Chen, the contemporary patriarch of the Yang family of Hongnong. Because Bai Fan broke the drought in the north, the Yang family of Sui fought back before breaking the deadlock. Then Emperor Li Er took his anger at the Hongnong Yang family, so he had a big opinion of Bai Fan.
The Yang family of Hongnong was also a long-standing clan. The Yang Jian, the lineage of Emperor Wen of Sui, was also a branch of them. However, after Yang Jian rose, the Yang family of Hongnong was not incorporated into the royal family, so even if the Sui Dynasty fell, the Yang family of Hongnong was still standing.
"Hmph, I came here for your brother Wen Yong, otherwise he, Marquis of Lantian, wouldn't be worth my trip to me personally." Yang Chen is also a stubborn temper, a typical stubborn duck. Who dares to scold Marquis of Lantian on the spot? You are so humiliating?
This is the Lu family of Fanyang. Cui family of Qinghe cannot be sent to mining, otherwise the one who is most angry will definitely not be the turn of Old Man Yang.
Zheng Wenyong is a good person to do it to the end. In order to stabilize the hearts of the people, he immediately bowed to everyone and said aloud: "Everyone, although the Marquis of Lantian warmly invites everyone to gather together this time, it is me, the old man who comes on his behalf..."
"Come on, Wen Yong, are you an old man? In my eyes, you are a little brat." The head of the Wang clan cooperated and joked.
Everyone burst into laughter and the atmosphere suddenly eased.
"I will explain one or two below. Please come here, why? It is not purely for land reform, but most importantly for fairy grains.
Because of Xianqi, everyone traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an County, the immortal grain breeding base. Otherwise, over the past year, we only heard about Xianqi and was not in the form of it. How could we get in Chang'an County, which is known as the forbidden area of the Tang Dynasty?
It is related to the issue of fairy grain, so it is not the only selfishness of Marquis Lantian. He invites everyone here to come here for sincerity. So no matter what we think of this person, I hereby ask everyone to listen patiently to Chen Xiang of Marquis Lantian, and then make a judgment?"
Zheng Wenyong nodded with approval from many patriarchs.
"Okay, my Zhaojun Li family is willing to come and listen to the views of Marquis Gao of Lantian. Brother Zheng is right. We are here to gather to solve the problem, not to quarrel. As a nobleman of the Tang Dynasty, how can we be unreasonable?"
An old man walked over step by step with a crutch, and it turned out that it was Li Delao, the head of the Li clan of Zhao County. This old man, who is nearly 80 years old, is still in good health due to his ancestors' martial arts background. The Li clan of Zhao County has always been the most low-key and powerful family among the seven families of the five surnames and seven families. So Li Delao's words undoubtedly represent an attitude and a direction. Everyone couldn't help but think secretly, could the Li clan of Zhao County have already discussed with the Marquis of Lantian?
"I wonder where the Marquis of Lantian is? Since we have arrived as promised, are we discussing matters at the gate of Chang'an County?" Li Derao spoke.
At this time, Yuchi Jingde, who had been hiding behind everyone's eyes, laughed and stepped forward, "Everyone, in order to show sincerity, Marquis Lantian personally cooked and prepared specialty food for you, saying that he would eat and chat in the cafeteria. Please follow me in the future."
