In the spring of March, the grass grows and the warbler flies.

On a country road in the Hwanghae-do Province of Korea, a caravan of people laughing and laughing, and if you look closely, you will see that many of the caravans are burly and look extremely strong.

"Xianggong, there are dozens of miles to the concubine's hometown, they must be very happy if they know that the master is coming." In one of the traveling carriages of the caravan, Liu Zhen opened the curtains and glanced at the scenery outside, and then said with a smile to Li Yuntian, who was reclining on the lap of Hongluan, opposite.

"It's a leisurely day to be in the mountains." Li Yuntian stretched lazily when he heard this, and smiled at Liu Zhen, "The hometown is more timid, how are you feeling now?" ”

"Happy." Liu Zhenwan smiled, stepped forward and massaged Li Yuntian's legs, "Xianggong, what was your mood when you returned to your hometown?" ”

"I think I've forgotten." Li Yuntian thought about it carefully when he heard this, and then said to Liu Zhen helplessly.

The last time he went back to his hometown was when he married Zhou Yuting, that is, at the end of Yongle, he never had the opportunity to set foot on his homeland due to busy official business, and now it is an orthodox dynasty, and it has been more than ten years in a blink of an eye, and I really don't remember the mood when I returned to my hometown.

Liu Zhen and Hongluan couldn't help but smile at each other when they heard this, after the two married Li Yuntian, they led the children back to their hometowns to worship their ancestors, which alarmed the officials of the Yamen of the Third Division of Shandong, and the battle to greet the escort was very grand, as for Li Yuntian who was busy every day, where did he have time to go back.

"Xianggong, how did you know Park Xingshou?" Liu Zhen remembered something, so he asked with a shout.

Park Xing's first name is Park Yongji, the head of the Korean National Song Merchant, and the leader of the caravan where Li Yuntian and Liu Zhen and others are now located.

"It's a long story, Xianggong met Park Xingshou when he went to Liaodong to exterminate the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty through Seoul, and then he worked for Xianggong, and now he is not only the big house of Songshang, one of the three major business groups in Korea, but also the vice president of the Seoul branch of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce."

The corners of Li Yuntian's mouth showed a hint of a smile, and he closed his eyes and leisurely enjoyed Yoo Jin's massage, which was an important chess piece he laid in the Korean country back then, and it was with his support that Park Yongji, who was born as a merchant, could have today's status.

It is precisely because of his trust in Park Yongji that Li Yuntian asked him to cover his trip this time, on the surface, it seems that he is accompanying Liu Zhen to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, but in fact, he also inspects the governance of the towns along the way.

Ever since Li Yuntian dispatched the Ming army to various parts of the Korean Eight Provinces to supervise the distribution of grain in the name of providing relief to the victims, quite a number of administrative personnel were mixed in with them, gradually replacing the leadership functions of the local yamen, and actually leading the local yamen to take charge of the local affairs of the eight provinces of Korea.

Li Yuntian returned to his hometown with Liu Zhen this time to worship his ancestors, just to see the current situation in the eight provinces of North Korea, and only by seeing him with his own eyes can he have a real understanding of the current situation.

Although Liu Zhen and Hongluan both persuaded Li Yuntian to let Li Yuntian bring a large number of soldiers with him this time, after all, he was the prince of Daming, and if something unexpected happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But since Li Yuntian decided to make a private visit to Weifu, he was not prepared to act with great fanfare, this is not because he is obstinate or arrogant, after nearly a year of governance, the economy and public security of North Korea's eight provinces have been greatly improved, so the market is still very peaceful.

Besides, Park Yong-gil is not in vain as a Songshang big house, and has a close relationship with all the forces along the way, so Li Yuntian doesn't have to worry about his safety at all.

"Lord Wang, the road ahead is closed, we estimate that we will have to wait for the time being." Just when Li Yuntian was talking and laughing with Liu Zhen and Hongluan, the carriage suddenly stopped, and a middle-aged man then lifted the curtain and bowed to Li Yuntian to report, he was Park Yongji, a big house in Songshang.

"Why the road closure?" Li Yuntian couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard this, even Park Yongji couldn't pass.

"Back to the prince, the two big families in the town in front of me have had a personal grudge for a long time, and today it should be a negotiation, and the road is closed in order to prevent the other party from moving to rescue the soldiers." Park Yong-gil bowed down and explained to Li Yuntian that he had walked this road before to do business, so he was familiar with the situation of the towns along the way.

The town in front is called Qingshan Town, there are two big families in the town, the Park family and the Cui family, the ancestors of both sides have personal grievances since the Goryeo era, plus the competition for the resources and the right to speak in Qingshan Town, so there is a fight every few years, which can be described as an out-and-out rival.

The government is also powerless to do anything about this, and they are afraid of disputes between local clans like this, as long as they don't make trouble in the yamen, they will turn a blind eye, even if they make a life lawsuit.

Anyway, in the local area, such fights between big clans usually cause deaths, and the people in the clan usually rarely report to the officials, and in private, the people in the clan will solve it themselves, and when the time comes, the people in the yamen will report the cause of sudden death or death from illness to the yamen, and the people in the yamen will not bother to ask.

Once you report to the official, then you will be considered to be pressed by the other party in terms of momentum, and you will be looked down upon by the outside world and ruin the reputation of the family.

In addition, dealing with the government is very troublesome, and it is not necessary to extort a lot of money, so not reporting to the government has become an unspoken unspoken rule.

"Let's go, let's see." After learning about the grievances between the Park family and the Cui family in Qingshan Town, Li Yuntian groaned for a while and got out of the car, if it was something else, he wouldn't follow it, and the people in the town would naturally let him go after the road was sealed, but since it was a conflict between the two big clans in the place, if he didn't want to make a mistake, then he couldn't sit idly by.

When Park Yongji heard this, he led the way in front and led Li Yuntian, Liu Zhen, Hongluan and his party to the entrance of Qingshan Town, only to see some young men with sticks and other weapons in their hands guarding both sides of the road left and right, staring at each other, it seemed that they were from the Park family and the Cui family.

"This gentleman, this road is temporarily blocked, and the gentleman can take a detour." Seeing Li Yuntian and his party coming, one by one dressed luxuriously, two middle-aged people greeted them, one of them was a black and thin middle-aged man politely said to Park Yongji, who was leading the way in front, he knew that it was Songshang's caravan that was blocked at the entrance of the town, and Songshang was not easy to provoke.

"Tell your master, and I'll say that Park Yongji of Songshang is coming to visit." Park Yongji glanced at the two and knew that they were from the Park family and the Cui family, so he quietly protected his home.

"Park Yong-gil?" The black and thin middle-aged man was taken aback when he heard this, and after glancing at Park Yongji, he hurriedly asked people to go back and tell him.

Although another middle-aged man did not know the origin of Park Yongji, he also realized that Park Yongji was noble, and asked his subordinates to go to the town to report.

Soon, Li Yuntian and his party were invited in by the people in the town, and both the Park family and the Cui family sent the patriarch's younger brother to greet Park Yongji, who deserved this treatment as the big house of the Song merchants.

If it weren't for the military attache of the Ming army stationed in the county who came to coordinate the conflict between the Park family and the Cui family, so that the patriarchs of the Park family and the Cui family could not go away, the patriarchs of the two families would have come to greet Park Yongji in person.

Perhaps because of Li Yuntian's young appearance, the two people of the Park family and the Cui family did not pay too much attention to Li Yuntian, and thought that Li Yuntian was Park Yongji's nephew.

Li Yuntian naturally didn't bother with them, and followed silently, and on the way, he learned some ins and outs of the matter from the explanations of the two to Park Yongji.

It turned out that although the Park family and the Cui family had a feud, the son of the Park family secretly got along with the young lady of the Cui family, and accidentally made Miss Cui pregnant.

Before Miss Cui was out of the cabinet, this kind of thing happened, and she suddenly became the laughing stock of the town, and the patriarch of the Cui family was naturally very angry, forcing Miss Cui to confess the identity of the adulterer and beat the child out.

I didn't think that Miss Cui was a fierce person, so she immediately committed suicide by hanging a rope from a beam, but fortunately she found it early and had a breath, and finally rescued her.

At this time, the son of the Park family couldn't hold back any longer, how could he watch the death of Miss Cui's mother and son, so he took the initiative to go to Cui's house to ask for guilt and shoulder the responsibility.

The patriarch of the Cui family was immediately furious, and wanted to order the death of the son of the Park family, who had disgraced the Cui family, but the young lady of the Cui family put a knife against her neck and scared the Cui family away.

So, the patriarch of the Cui family locked the son of the Park family and the Miss Cui family in a room in the backyard, and sent someone to ask the patriarch of the Park family for the crime, saying that the son of the Park family had raped Miss Cui family.

But the patriarch of the Park family insisted that it was Miss Cui who seduced the son of the Park family, and the two sides were happy, at most it was adultery, which was very different from rape.

The people of the Cui family were driven out by the people of the Park family, saying that Miss Cui was not self-respecting, which undoubtedly intensified the already complex contradictions between the two sides, so the two sides agreed to negotiate in the town square today to discuss and solve the matter, and if they couldn't talk, a scuffle would definitely break out.

Naturally, the matter in Qingshan Town quickly spread to the county, and the military attache of the Ming Army stationed in the county hurriedly brought people to the town to persuade him to prevent the fire between the Park family and the Cui family.

"Xianggong, the grievances between the Cui family and the Park family have been going on for a long time, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to resolve for a while." While walking, Liu Zhen opened her mouth and whispered to Li Yuntian that her hometown was only dozens of miles away from Qingshan Town, so she had naturally heard about Qingshan Town.

"Why are the two of them at odds?" Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he heard this, and asked softly, since he is here today, this fight between the Park family and the Cui family cannot be fought.

"I don't know, some say it's a dispute over the land, some say it's a dispute over the water source, and some say it's because of women, anyway, there are all kinds of things, I'm afraid their own children don't know very well." Liu Zhen shook her head slightly, there were many rumors about the grievances between the Cui family and the Park family in Qingshan Town, and she didn't know which one was true.

Li Yuntian smiled and did not answer, this kind of grievance between the local clans is nothing more than a conflict of interests, he has no interest in the origin of the grievance between the two families, the important thing is how to solve the current situation, so as not to cause casualties when the two families fight.

Liu Zhen saw that Li Yuntian didn't ask, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, it seems that Li Yuntian wants to resolve the grievances between the Park family and the Cui family, and the dignified Prince of Daming will definitely come to pass.
