Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

Just when Cui Geng was in a dilemma, a burst of applause suddenly came.

Immediately after, a figure flashed, and a middle-aged man flashed out from behind the screen. His face is like a crown of jade, his eyes are bright, and his three strands of ink hair are floating on his chest, and his demeanor is graceful.

Grandma's, someone is eavesdropping behind the screen!

Cui Geng's face sank at that time, and he said, "Who are you?" โ€

"See Choi Sang." The man bowed quite dashingly and said, "I am Wei Li, the great-grandson of Zheng Guogong, and I can't hide it, this Baice Building is a certain property." If there is any inconsiderate hospitality, I hope that Cui Xianghaihan will be hopeful. โ€

This time Cui Geng really doesn't blame Wei Li, Baice Building is someone else's property, if he said that he was wiping the screen just now, he was observing everyone's opinions on his own dishes, and he was going to play a song behind the screen to cheer everyone up...... No one can fault it.

Cui Gengdao: "It turned out to be Zheng Guogong, it was really disrespectful and disrespectful. Belch...... Why did you give three high-fives before you came out just now? โ€

Wei Li said: "It's not a secret, I applaud Wei Xue'er and Wei Yun'er." They worked hard and gained the trust of a certain person to appear in front of Cui Xiang. As a result, in the end, he actually put Wei in a certain way, asking Cui Xiang to be an enemy of a certain person. After my dignified Zheng Guogong, I was tricked by two little women, how can I not applaud their performance? โ€

"Wei Yun'er and Wei Xue'er are your way?"

"Hehe, speaking of which, these two girls are still of the same clan. Last year, when the Weizhou disaster occurred, their father borrowed 5,000 yuan and used the family's land to offset it. This year, they wanted to harvest the land, but the two of them claimed that they were willing to pay off their debts. A certain was looking for a beauty for Cui Xiang at the time, so he agreed. Unexpectedly, they had other plans! โ€

Five thousand yuan, in exchange for the twin sisters, is really not cheap.

You must know that in Pingkang Lane, Chang'an, a well-known prostitute, the ransom fee is only about 1,000 yuan. Note that it is in Chang'an, the international metropolis, and there is absolutely no such market in Weizhou.

Wei Li paid such a big price, what is the picture?

Cui Geng turned his head to look at Zhang Yangui and said suspiciously: "Zheng Guogong's descendants are also closed?" โ€

"How is that possible?" Zhang Yangui said: "There are provisions in my Tang Dynasty law, "The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager are all exempt from military service." In addition, "Guozi, Taixue, students of the four disciplines, Junshi, filial sons, Shunsun, righteous husbands, and women of the same nationality" can also be exempted from tax. The Wei family is flourishing, and there are many officials above the fifth grade, of course, they do not have to pay taxes, and it is impossible for them to become closed households. โ€

"Then why did this Brother Wei give this official such a big gift?"

Zhang Yangui was a little strange and said: "If you can use 5,000 yuan in exchange for the opportunity to make friends with Cui Xiang, no one will refuse, right?" โ€

"Uh......"

Cui Geng is right to think about it, his current power is not much smaller than Li Xian, and a little leakage from his fingers is not enough, how much more than 5,000 yuan? It's not surprising that Wei Li has the heart to stammer.

Wei Li added: "The original plan was that you would officially accept the two sisters, and then General Zhang Tingshi would introduce them to you. Since there is such an accident, I can only take the initiative to show up. โ€

"I see."

Cui Geng swallowed and foamed, and said quite politely: "Since Mr. Wei is the queen of Zheng Guogong, he must have inherited Zheng Guogong's fine character. The small people have finally accumulated a little family business, so why do you have to ...... Take it for yourself. It's better to look at the official's face and allow them to pay off the debt after the autumn. โ€

Wei Li turned his face and said, "I'm sorry, forgive me." Cui Xiang, let's open the skylight and say something bright, let alone 5,000 yuan, even if it's 10,000 yuan, 20,000 yuan. If Cui Xiang is interested, my Wei family should also offer it with both hands. But what about land...... My Wei family doesn't give an inch of land. โ€

"Still not giving up an inch of land?" Cui Geng said sarcastically: "Your Wei family thinks that you are Mao Dun Shan Yu? โ€

There is an allusion to this, in the last years of the Qin Dynasty, the Xiongnu Mao Dunshan rose. Donghu asked him for a BMW, and he gave it. Asked him for a concubine, and he gave it. But when he was approached with an unimportant pasture, he decided to send troops to conquer Donghu, saying: "Land is the foundation of the country, how can it be given to Donghu?" So he sent troops to declare war.

Cui Geng said this, of course, to satirize the Wei family for valuing the land too much.

Unexpectedly, Wei Li said: "Although the Wei family is not the Maodun of the Huns, but the fancy of the land is by no means under Maodun. โ€

"Oh? Why? โ€

"Cui Xiang thinks that what is the most important thing for a family to prosper?"

"What?"

"Land, of course." Wei Li pursed his lips and said, "As long as there is land, the family has a foundation, and the output of the land can be used to support the children to study." Even if there is no talent in this generation, there will always be the next generation, or the next generation. โ€

Cui Geng was puzzled: "In the end, isn't it just a matter of money?" How would you say it's land? โ€

"Hmph, what is money?" Wei Li said: "During the Zhenguan period, the rice was only a few pennies. In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, there were also rice and money. How useful this money is, that's not certain. Moreover, a military robbery or a natural fire can destroy the family property cleanly, but the land is not so easy to destroy. Therefore, I say that only land is the foundation of a family. โ€

As soon as Wei Li's words fell, the people present nodded one after another.

"Well said!"

"Mr. Wei has a point."

"I have long felt that land is very important, but after listening to Mr. Wei's words today, I understand why it is so important."

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

In the voice of people's approval, Cui Geng's face was extremely ugly.

Cui Geng was originally selling wine for a business, and later absorbed the memories of later generations. His concept of the land was very different from that of the people of the day. It was only now that Cui Geng realized that he had underestimated people's greed and thirst for land in this era~.

He smiled bitterly and said, "What if...... What about the land of the Andong Protectorate in exchange for the land of Weizhou? โ€

"I'm sorry, I'm timid, I believe in the bag."

Cui Geng sighed and said, "Okay, this official is not too strong." We'll talk about this later. โ€

"What's the matter? Cui Xiang made his words clear now. Wei Li raised his eyebrows and said aggressively: "Please also ask Cui Yuan to announce on the spot that he will never interfere in the matter of my three Weizhou families recovering land." Otherwise...... Everyone misunderstood, but it's not good. โ€

"Huh?"

Cui Geng's face immediately sank, and he said, "Are you forcing the official to make a statement?" โ€

"It's not persecution, but I want to find out whether Choi Xiang is friend or foe. You are called Cui Qingtian, you don't even hide your attitude, right? โ€

"What if the official says that he will never give up on standing up for those small people?"

"That can't be helped, it's just that we both use our own means."

Song Genhai couldn't help but interject: "Joke! Among the three of you, that is, the Qinghe Zhang family, there is still some strength. As for the descendants of Zheng Guogong Wei Zheng and the descendants of Tan Guogong Zhang Gongjin...... It's just two broken houses, and it's worth saying that they are wrestling with my family? โ€

"Of course!" Wei Li said firmly: "As long as Cui Xiang wants his Cui Qingtian's reputation, he will not make those dirty methods." If he acts according to the law, are the three of us afraid that he will not succeed? โ€

Song Genhai said unconvinced: "If my family is ruthless and pays off the debts of those small people, won't you be able to get the land?" โ€
