1705 Fan's Ghost Plan(1/2)
"Has my cousin been in the army before? Why don't I know?" Li Cong didn't know how to answer here, but the little princess asked him. In fact, during the meal, there was a gap between the two tables.
Talking is very impolite. Many people thought that Li Cong wanted to discipline his little cousin. Who knew that Li Cong didn't feel anything inappropriate about it at all? His daughter-in-law is not the kind of person who doesn't know the depth of things.
Man, I don’t blame her for talking about this matter today. The reason why she asked this matter was to save herself. This guy said that he had been in the army, and did not say what army he was in, a county or a city.
Li Cong's army is so complicated that even two days as a government officer can be considered as having spent time in the army. If this can be regarded as a criterion for him to enter Li Cong's new army, it is estimated that Li Cong's new army will have to devote tens of thousands of people to it.
establishment to manage these people.
"Haha, my cousin is a golden girl. How could I let my cousin know about such a small thing? It's just some not-so-famous military forces. Everyone will laugh if I tell you. In fact, I don't really want to be in the military. Otherwise, this
Let's forget about it. I still have a small business in the Northeast Administrative Region. It's actually a very good thing to start a business slowly." This guy knew that his little pepper cousin was not what she seemed on the surface.
If anyone offends her, the end result will not be good. He also knows that this cousin has looked down on him since he was a child. Now that he is in the imperial capital, it is better to be more honest, otherwise he may be betrayed by this little girl.
Damn it, they are all related by blood, how could this be possible? No matter how many people you marry, your family members have to take advantage of it. How can you not be blessed by God?
After saying that, the guy himself felt that he didn't have the courage to stay anymore, so he just found an excuse and went out. Generally speaking, this family left a bad impression on Li Cong. Many people thought
According to the calculation, the person who is really good to the little princess is probably his mother-in-law. Originally, Li Cong wanted to see what Dingjun Prince's Mansion would do outside the city. Seeing such a family, everyone always wanted to take action from himself.
After getting something, Li Cong discussed with the little princess whether he should set off back tomorrow morning. If he continued to stay here, Li Cong would cause trouble with his temper.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know they would be like this. In the past, they would use this to annoy my mother. Who knew they would come to annoy you now. But this also shows that you are capable. If no one cares about it,
You. That's troublesome. Isn't my husband a fool? I don't want a fool husband." The little princess felt a little sorry after knowing that Li Cong was going to go back early tomorrow morning. She knew that Li Cong was going to the city.
She stayed out for a while because her relatives couldn't stay outside the city anymore and had to go back. Li Cong smiled when he looked at her pitiful look. In fact, he was angry. But more for
It's okay to avoid trouble and help your relatives and friends, but it must be at a suitable level. If this guy has the ability himself, but if he loses this opportunity because no one says a word to him, then he should have this opportunity.
, because the person's ability is good. But if he has no ability at all and still wants others to help him, such a person seems to be overestimating his ability. If such a person is allowed to work, it will
He has harmed many people, including himself.
"You don't need them to prove whether your husband is a fool. Since you want to spend more time with your mother here, I will stay here for a few more days, but I will be in the house for the remaining two days.
I can't go out for a walk with you since I'm here to study the affairs of Guangming City." Li Cong pointed to his documents and said, although Li Cong is no longer in the imperial capital, there are still many things that need to be handled by Li Cong, Hualong
He is just a fake emperor. This guy has been studying politics recently, but it is not easy to make a mature movie. Besides, this emperor didn't have much love for national affairs in the past, so he left it all to himself.
It's up to the minister to handle it. If he takes everything into his own hands immediately, it won't be a joke. In the end, it may make many people suspicious. It's better to do it this way.
"Haha, okay, I just want to spend more time with my mother. In fact, my mother is also very helpless towards them. There are too many brothers and sisters in my mother's family. The four or five closest ones are basically here, and they are all here.
She has her own difficulties." The little princess said helplessly, "My family.
Li Cong naturally knew these people. He had already conducted a detailed investigation on the imperial concubine Yan. His younger brother knew what was going on, as well as his sister in Songyang County, and the other two
My sisters are not doing very well either. It seems that their family members are in bad luck. Except for Concubine Lan, as long as other girls get married, something will happen to their husbands' families. Take Concubine Lan.
Let's talk about the family. She married into the Fan family, the leading wealthy family in the Western Province. This Fan family is also very influential in the imperial capital. It can be said that it is the most powerful family in selling horses. The family is not only rich but also wealthy.
But there are many officials in the enemy country, and there are many people born in the family. According to Li Cong's information, there are second-rank officials in the previous generation of the Fan family, and there are dozens of children in this generation who have entered the officialdom, although they are not
A very high official position, but there are so many people. Even if there is a fraction of the hope, these people can still achieve a great career. But after the eldest sister of the imperial concubine Yan married, the Fan family began to go downhill.
At the beginning, the Fan family's horse farm was burned down for some reason. Immediately, hundreds of thousands of fine horses ran away without a trace. Hundreds of thousands of horses stood up but one
It was quite a number, but there was nothing in the vast expanse of prairie. The Fan family had been searching for a long time but could not find these things. It was as if they were missing.
Then comes the second thing. The second-rank official of the Fan family is in the official history of the Lifan Yuan. Just when a large number of the Fan family's horses were lost, this guy was found to be corrupt and perverting the law. The Fan family itself is very famous.
For a Qian family, two million gold coins may be a big number for other people. Even for some officials, two million gold coins can change a lot of things. But for the Fan family,
To put it bluntly, these two million gold coins are just a small number. As the only person in the Fan family who can speak in the central government, this second-grade official will never embezzle this. If he really wants to use the money, don't
He said two million gold coins. Even if he added a zero, twenty million gold coins, the Fan family would immediately take it out for him. Who said he was the only high-ranking official of the Fan family? But in front of the evidence, this guy also
You can't say that you are free from corruption. The corruption case of two million gold coins is no joke. This guy was directly exiled by His Majesty the Emperor for three thousand miles. If this guy didn't usually have a lot of credit, I guess this would be the case.
The child was immediately killed. The current emperor hates women very much.
The Fan family immediately changed from a second-class family to a third-class family after losing this second-class official in the imperial court. Although there are still officials at the level of city lord in the local area, in the eyes of the entire empire, this
A city lord is really not of much use. The noble concubine Yan's wife is considered to be the eldest daughter of the Fan family. If they don't enter the imperial capital to join their sister, the Fan family may never have the intention to rise up in their lifetime.
Yes, several members of their family had been silent just now. Now they all arrived in their own rooms and started discussing things.
"He Tianyou is really lucky. He is the head guard of the royal palace. He has reached the sky in one step. If he works for a few years, he will become a city lord. If he goes to the army, he will become a general.
, with Li Cong's reputation in the army, if his bodyguard general goes in, there will be too many people who want to take care of the boy. Take a look, you two, he is the same as Li Cong, and you and Li Cong are the same.
Relationship. Why don't you two know how to seize the opportunity?" The person who spoke was Fan Zeng, the little princess's eldest uncle and the younger brother of the head of the Fan family. This guy just laughed and didn't say a word.
After occupying his own territory, he began to roll up his two sons vigorously. Without the support from the imperial capital, their Fan family's pasture may continue to decrease. Such a fertile pasture, the former
At that time, no one dared to come up with this idea. Firstly, the Fan family was well managed, and secondly, it was because of the second-grade official in the imperial capital. But now, the Fan family has suffered huge losses.
There is simply not enough money to spend on management, and there is no backer in the imperial capital. In the past, the city lord did not dare to provoke them. If they want to do something in this area, the first thing they think of is the people in their imperial capital.
If that high-ranking official did it, what would he do if he was unhappy? But now? There are many people who have their ideas. You have no money to manage, no background and backing, and you still want to occupy the best part of the grassland.
A piece of grassland, such a thing seems to be unjustifiable. It was because the Fan family couldn't bear it anymore that they asked the younger brother's family to come to the imperial capital. In the past, they didn't leave so diligently. They just wanted to
I want the imperial concubine to speak.
The imperial concubine also knew about their matter. In the past, the imperial concubine basically said nothing, but now it is different from before. Not to mention that the imperial concubine cannot speak to them, even if the imperial concubine said this, those people would
They don’t want to give face to the imperial concubine. Everyone knows that the current emperor has begun to reduce the rights of the nobles on a large scale. The imperial concubine no longer has such rights. She can no longer interfere with the affairs of the people, so they turned their attention to Li Cong, the imperial concubine.
The son-in-law and the current regent, such a person is much more effective than a word from a noble concubine. In fact, many people need Li Cong's help, but the danger of the Fan family is the most important. They already know it.
Those who want to annex their horse farm have already taken the road of Dingjun Prince's Mansion. The merchants doing business here must be protected by someone above them. In the past, the second-rank officials of their imperial capital were not considered to be in the imperial capital.
How powerful, but Prince Ding will definitely not help their opponents do this after knowing this news. It is unnecessary to offend the people of the Lifan Yuan in order to gain millions of gold coins every year, but now
This worry is gone. They will not show mercy when it comes to their entire income. Without a backing, they will be bullied like this.
"Stop walking around all the time, how about I go over and talk to my sister?" The concubine's sister saw that her husband Fan Zeng had not been idle since he came back. She loved her husband very much.
, she is also a woman who has no pursuits. In her opinion, her life is good now. Anyway, so many horses in the racecourse are gone. If she continues to operate the racecourse, it may not be a good thing. It might as well be
Just sell it and do something else. She said it once when she was at home, but her elder brother-in-law got involved and said that she was a woman. That is how they started their family.
Racecourse, if it loses its own foundation, the Fan family will be like water without roots, and there will be no time to take off at all.
"I think it's useless for you to say it. You saw your sister's behavior just now. She doesn't want to embarrass herself in front of her son-in-law. Your relationship with her is not very good either. In the early years, our Fan family still had
Even when I could, I didn't pay much attention to her. Now if something happens, go and ask for help. How can they be so willing to help us? It seems like we need to put in more effort and spend more money." Fan Zeng thought.
He thought about it and said.
"How do you spend this money? Haven't you seen how generous the prince is? The little princess has prepared a meeting gift for each of us this time. My two daughters and I both have a bottle of that very expensive perfume. I'm here
I saw it when I was in the provincial capital. Duke Luke's daughter had a bottle of it. It was said that she spent millions of gold coins to get it. Now our three bottles cost three million gold coins. We didn't bring any of them this time.
How can you spend a large amount of money to give gifts?" Women are always women, and they always look at superficial problems when looking at problems. Is this something that money can solve? Fan Zeng shook his head helplessly.
"Money? Do you know how much money this prince has? According to our family's estimate, we don't know about other places. Our family's spies in the Western Province are still very good. In the Western Province, some of Li Cong's transactions are done every month
We can earn hundreds of millions of gold coins. This is just on the surface. We don’t know about some of the secret transactions, and others won’t tell us. With millions of gold coins, we probably won’t even be able to get in.
Yes, this sister of yours is really lucky. You have such a son-in-law. You said that our entire family is busy all year round and only has tens of millions of gold coins. If someone accepts anyone casually, they have to see if that person is useful before accepting him a few hundred dollars.
A gift of ten thousand gold coins." Although Fan Zeng's words were a bit sour, they were also true. Just now, his wife was indeed very jealous of his sister. He also has two daughters, but look at his two uncles.
It is useless to rely on the Fan family to advance. Which of these two people can give a hot spring village worth more than one million gold coins as a gift to the mother-in-law? It is estimated that there will be no such thing even in decades.
of.
"But apart from money, is there anything else that people would like about us?" The woman thought for a while and said, indeed, no prince in this local family could like us.
"Yes, yes, but I don't know if we can find the right way this time. I heard that there has been a lot of friction between Li Cong and Dingjun Prince's Mansion recently. The Zhu family who seized our racecourse belongs to Dingjun Prince's Mansion.
"People, if Li Cong is really incompatible with the people of Dingjun Prince's Mansion, I guess our troubles can be solved with just a word from him, but we need to try hard how to let him know about this." Thinking of this, this
The guy's mind was thinking of his fifteen-year-old little sister Fan Yao. Fan Yao was a famous beauty in the Western Province. Although she was only fifteen years old, she was already called the number one beauty in the Western Province.
This time I just happened to come with him. Just now, this little girl's face was red when she saw Li Cong. How can a beauty not love a hero? This hero? Haha, Li Cong is the biggest hero. Thinking of it
Here, Fan Zeng didn't say much to his wife. After all, Li Cong's wife was his wife's niece. If she knew about giving a woman to Li Cong, I'm afraid there would still be something wrong.
The next morning, before Li Cong got up, the little princess followed her mother to a temple not far away to offer incense. She didn't know when her mother started to believe in Buddhism. Of course she didn't.
It's clear, but Li Cong knows that all the wives in this noble family are like this. When they are no longer loved by men, when their men only care about those little girls, their whole life will be like this.
It's the end. At this time, they have nothing to do to kill time. They can only walk through the rest of their days slowly with the help of Qingdeng Ancient Buddha. In fact, they don't know what their inner beliefs are, but again
One thing they all know is that reciting Buddhist scriptures can kill time. After reading a Buddhist scripture, it only takes an afternoon.
Li Cong didn't have that much time to chat with Buddha. After he got up and had some breakfast, he started to read the news coming from Guangming City. The Bear Clan was really very cooperative. They had already brought Meng Tian's army to coerce and induce them.
Killed more than a dozen races around. Meng Tian has already formed an army of savages. The number is small, but it is very useful. There are about 300,000 people. Their main function is to distribute around Nancheng and keep an eye on them.
The surrounding tribes no longer have to worry about being surrounded by the savage army overnight. There is still not much news from the Ten Thousand Poison Mountains. The Snake Tribe has little communication with outside races.
It is impossible to know the news about the Snake Queen from outside races, but Meng Tian reported a good news. Now all the races in the Savage Tribe have basically acquiesced to the human occupation of Nancheng. They don't have the ability anyway.
They want to drive humans out, so they simply don't care about this matter. Human beings can do whatever they want. As long as they don't come to their own territory, they don't care about anything.
Just when Li Cong was fascinated by the report from the front line, a girl came in and brought Li Cong a cup of tea. Li Cong didn't have much intention to drink tea, but he didn't want to drink it now.
It's the same, every move is watched by others. If you drink boiled water, others may think there is something wrong with the tea. Otherwise, why doesn't the regent who produces this tea drink it? He himself said that this thing is so good.
To be continued...
