After listening to Liu Chongchong's explanation, Liu Mu understood.

"You know, so which room am I?" Liu Muxin said that there are so many belongings in a family.

Liu Chongchong replied: "Sanyuan Fang, isn't your father's tombstone engraved with the words "Sanyuan House of the Liu Family in Hedong", and he is still a member of the Liu family in Hedong." ”

When Liu Chongchong explained, Liu Zifang arrived.

Liu Chongchong explained the current time in a few words, and then said: "What Mu means is to let Zi Shao propose to the Cui family of Qinghe and take the concubine of the main house." ”

"Well, you can't." Liu Zifang knows very well that the Hedong Liu family has not yet been qualified to marry the daughter of the main house of the Qinghe Cui family, and if he can marry the daughter of the partial house, it is already the Qinghe Cui family to marry.

"Uncle Zifang, don't ask if you can, I'll talk about it after asking."

Liu Zifang nodded heavily: "Since the virtuous nephew has this heart, it's good to ask." ”

Liu Mu nodded at Baoqin, and Baoqin immediately went out to make arrangements.

In the evening, what shocked the entire Liu family was that Cui Junsu actually came in person, and also brought his third uncle Cui Hong.

If Cui Junsu is now the biggest official of the Cui clan in the court, then his third uncle represents the patriarch of the Cui clan in Qinghe.

The Liu family was headed by Liu Chongchong, the middle door of the mansion was opened, the music sounded, and all the men with status came out to greet them without exception.

"Feast!" Liu Chongchong commanded.

Cui Hong stopped Liu Chongchong's hand: "Before drinking, I have a few words to say." ”

"Please!"

The people who entered the main hall of the Liu family, there were only five people in the Liu family.

After sitting down, Cui Junsu spoke very directly: "Arrange a person for your four counties in Cixi, named Wang Chongji." Okay, still no. ”

"Okay, you've spoken, how can I say no." Liu Mu agreed before asking, "Who is this Wang Chongji?" ”

"Taiyuan Wang, the son of Wang Jue. The Wang Jue you pit is very miserable, but fortunately, the saint has the wisdom of a person, otherwise Wang Jue would not know that the poor place is an official. He doesn't care about that, but thinks you're right, and that's just your own master. ”

"Invite him to drink another day." Yanagi grinned widely.

Cui Hong laughed: "That's good, the old man was entrusted by the Wang family, and he originally planned to come to give you a gift, but some misunderstandings have passed." Today is just right, the old man is proposing marriage for the Wang family for this Wang Chongji, and the Liu family can be the daughter to be married in the main house? ”

Liu Mu didn't answer, and turned his head to look at Liu Chongchong.

Liu Chongchong immediately said: "This is naturally a great joy. ”

"That's good."

The two old men whispered a few words, it was obvious that Cui Hong still had to choose one or two for the Wang family, at least to see the family history and so on.

Cui Junsu spoke again at this time: "Mu, Cui Yiye was transferred back from Wadao and served as the commander of Huating County for a period of ten years. Dou Shikuan is placed in the four counties of Cixi, you are otherwise. ”

"Okay, Cui Yiye is definitely a talent, as long as he is not afraid of hardship. Huating was first built, how hard was it? ”

"Naturally, I'm not afraid, then my Cui family agrees to your Liu family's proposal. But Liu Zheng also had to be sent to Cixi and become one of the county commanders in the four counties. Now let's talk about the officiating ceremony of the bride price, I Qinghe Cui's family will pay 350,000 yuan, you only say how to spend it. Or unite with whoever spends together, you take a charter out. Cui Junsu spoke unceremoniously.

This will be the patriarch Liu Chongchong, the owner of the Western Family, Liu Zifang, who doesn't know how to interject.

"I have three investment paths, Uncle Cui, you choose one."

"Speak!"

"Funan grain field, Gaochang nitrate mine." After saying that, the two willows stopped, and when they looked at the willows laughing, Cui Junsu also laughed: "The third one must be very interesting." ”

Liu Mu nodded: "To the east of Huating, there is a small island in the sea. It's not huge, but it's an excellent sugarcane growing area. There are too many people to plant mulberry forests and mine, and even though a large number of people come to work on Huating, there are at least 20,000 households that have nowhere to go. ”

"Voted. This is the sugar cane plantation. Cui Junsu didn't have to think about it at all.

Funan is too far away, it is Lingnan Feng An's territory, so it's better not to interfere for the time being. And Li Shimin, the Tang Emperor of Gaochang, seems to have acquiesced to the Li family of Longxi to be the master, uniting more than a dozen scholars to invest in the past, and Cui Junsu didn't want to stick to it. Then overseas sugarcane fields are a good choice.

The best choice.

Cui Junsu got up and bowed to Liu Chongchong, this is polite, because after all, this elder. Then he handed a watch to Liu Mu, and after Liu Mu took over and looked at it, Cui Junsu said: "This is the first watch I have on after the year." ”

Yanagi didn't answer, and quietly looked at the contents of the watch.

Cui Junsu nodded slightly to Liu Zifang and said, "I propose that Datang reconsider the grading system. ”

The hierarchy of the Tang Dynasty is already the most strict in all dynasties, the wang clan is the wang, the famous family is the famous family, the small nobles, the rich people, the commoners, the farmers, the merchants, etc., all have ranks.

Cui Junsu continued: "The Tang Dynasty aristocracy was re-divided into three classes and nine grades, and the people were also divided into three classes and nine grades. For example, Falcon, fight hard for my Datang, if you are loyal enough, you can consider giving them an inferior citizen, and a very small number of people can give a medium citizen. ”

"Gong, ghost work is equivalent to nobility, and depending on its achievements, it can be considered to give a sufficiently high noble rank. Skillful craftsmen are the high-class people, only the merchants who are licensed are the highest middle people, the best workshop merchants are the highest high-class people, and the literate farmers are the high-class people. Soldiers with military merits regard their merits as the highest rank and rank among the people, regardless of military attachés. ”

Liu Mu had already picked out the key points, and then said: "This needs a lot of details to perfect." ”

Cui Junsu nodded in agreement: "That's right, this matter may be the first big issue after the establishment of the cabinet." ”

Liu Mu said again: "Then, there is no upper limit for ghost work, and there is no upper limit for holy doctors. ”

"There is no upper limit to the Holy Doctor, I can support it, Sun Lao Immortal is a recognized sage, equivalent to a high-ranking nobleman. But what is the reason for the ghost worker? Cui Junsu asked rhetorically.

"The rules can be set very strictly, and I believe that the ghosts will prove that they are worthy of this unlimited limit." Yanagi retorted strongly.

Cui Junsu shook his head: "In terms of the general's cannon, this thing is just a killing weapon, not beneficial to the people's livelihood." At most, it is given to the middle and lower nobles. If he is a farmer, Du Zichun, who is a master of greenhouse skills, I will keep him a mid-level aristocratic title. ”

"The general's cannon is a bit high for the middle and low, but I promise that there will be a high-class ghost worker."

"Okay, if the general's cannon is inferior, then I'll wait for yours." Cui Jun said in his heart that the general's cannon is inferior, so according to the rules, each level of promotion is several times more difficult, what kind of ghost work will this superior be.

Liu Mu said again: "Li Chun, how does he rate?" ”

"From the middle level, I have seen his Jinghe Bridge, the Weishui Bridge that is already under construction. Such a talent is suitable in the middle. ”
