Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

When Sun Simiao came out from Chu Palace, he carried a big bag on his back.

This is the mountaineering bag that Li You prepared for him, and it contains all the things that Li You signed during this period.

Gloves, hiking shoes, compass, flashlight, first aid kit, everything that Li You could think of, everything he had, were put in the bag by Sun Simiao.

Fortunately, although Sun Simiao is old, his health is not bad.

An old man of the same age may not even be able to pick up these things.

While Chu Wang's mansion was busy making salt, Fan Yang and Lu's mansion was not peaceful.

At this moment, Lu Chengqing, the patriarch of the Lu family in Fanyang, Duke of Fanyang, was angry with his uncles.

"Uncle, how can you deal with this incident first, not to mention that the family lost a lot in the end, once the emperor catches the handle, the entire Fanyang Lu family will be implicated!"

"The matter of Luo Yi is not completely over now, there are many spies in Youzhou, and you are too courageous."

In the eighth year of Wude, Lu Chisong, the father of Lu Chengqing, the previous Duke of Fanyang, died.

Lu Chengqing, who just turned 30 years old that year, inherited the position of Duke of Fanyang County, and at the same time, with the support of the elders of the clan, he became the patriarch of the Lu clan of Fanyang.

At the beginning, under the support of the elders of his grandfather's generation, his position as the head of the family was fairly stable.

But with the departure of the older generation, Lu Chengqing suffered from the ignorance of his uncles from time to time.

These people believed that they had contributed to the family for many years, and they never took this young patriarch seriously.

Many things are carried out directly without going through the patriarch.

Just like this time, the agreement with Jieli Khan was made by these uncles in private.

Now that they had lost the competition, facing the compensation to Xieli Khan, it was naturally impossible for them to pay for it themselves.

What you earn is your own, and what you lose must be borne by the family.

They appeared together today to put pressure on Lu Chengqing.

Hearing Lu Chengqing's worry, they didn't care at all.

"Chengqing, I said you are too young. There is nothing scary about Li Tang's royal family."

"This time Luo Yi's rebellion, if it wasn't for our Fan Yang and Lu family not cooperating, it wouldn't have ended so hastily."

"Speaking of which, Li Shimin didn't reward us for assisting in suppressing the rebellion, but gave Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji and Yang Ji all the credit."

"If I had known this earlier, I might as well have helped Luo Yi back then, maybe I could have gotten more money."

Seeing these uncles talking too much, Lu Chengqing quickly stopped their conversation.

"Uncles and uncles, now that Li Tang is powerful, you'd better be careful."

"Don't say anything else, let's just say that this time, the house in the house was absolutely destroyed by someone. Don't you think about it yet?"

Lu Chengqing's original intention was to use this incident as a warning, but he didn't expect these uncles to become even more excited.

"Speaking of this matter is out of anger. That Li Tai is an idiot, and he has no ability to confront these absolutes!"

"However, what Cheng Qing said is right, this matter must not be taken lightly. I think the biggest possibility is that there is a ghost in the family!"

All of a sudden, these uncles nodded one after another, and then cursed Li Shimin as a sinister villain.

"enough!"

Finally, Lu Chengqing couldn't bear it anymore.

"Have you guys had enough trouble? No matter what, the person behind Li Shimin can break Fan Yang Lu's hundred years of absoluteness, so this person must be not simple."

"Dare to ask everyone here, is there anyone who can match those absolutes that have been handed down?"

"Who can match the last couplet issued by the King of Chu!"

"There is such a terrifying person behind the emperor, don't you all feel a little bit of danger?"

"Don't forget, the pinyin and enlightenment textbooks that the emperor is promoting now are digging the foundation of our Fanyang Lu clan!"

"I've also read the method of pinyin and the enlightenment textbooks. It's really something that can only be figured out by an unworldly talent."

"Uncles, ask yourself, can you?"

"Don't forget, in "Hundred Surnames", the surname Lu is already one hundred away!"

With anger, Lu Chengqing uttered all the things that had been suppressed in his heart recently.

These words made all the uncles look at each other in blank dismay, not daring to vent their anger.

For the first time, they regarded this handsome, well-mannered, knowledgeable and talented younger generation as the master of the house.

Compared to Lu Chengqing's foresight, they are indeed a little superficial.

"Patriarch, how do you think we should handle this matter?"

After a moment of silence, Lu Chengqing's uncle asked.

The long-lost patriarch lifted Lu Chengqing's spirits.

"As I said before, now that Li Tang is so powerful, we, the Fanyang and Lu clans alone, cannot compete with him. But the world's aristocratic family is one family, and now is the time for us to unite."

"My idea is to unite the major families first, and passively promote pinyin and new enlightenment teaching materials."

Hearing this, an uncle was puzzled: "Isn't the major families already having a conclusion on this matter, and we are doing the same now."

After discussing with Cui Mingan, Wang Gui notified the decision to other families, and of course Fan Yang and the Lu family also received it.

However, Lu Chengqing shook his head and said: "It's not enough, we did it too covertly, I don't think Li Shimin may have felt what we did yet."

"So this time, in order to prevent Li Shimin and his Baiqisi from focusing on the Turkic envoy, we must make some noise!"

"According to my opinion, this is the time for the family to show its energy."

"You immediately repair the books and send them to the big families. Fan Yang and Lu's family will double the current price of paper and books in three days."

"At the same time, news is released that the reason for the price increase is that the emperor wants to promote new literacy methods and enlightenment teaching materials, and a large amount of raw materials are used in new books."

"As for the new book, doesn't it take time to be rigid?"

The uncles nodded. The purpose of their visit today was actually to get Lu Chengqing to take revenge.

When Lu Chengqing questioned them just now, they felt that this time's revenge was going to be a waste, but they didn't expect that the Patriarch was more ruthless than they thought.

In this way, killing three birds with one stone, the benefits belong to the aristocratic family, but Li Shimin will be infamous.

First, they can implement the delaying strategy in an open and honest manner, leaving Li Shimin speechless.

Second, the current paper and books are monopolized by the aristocratic family. If the price is raised, it will naturally make more profits.

Third, these scholars know that the reason for their extra money is Li Shimin's fuss, so they will naturally resent the royal family in their hearts, and those who can't afford books, naturally have to take refuge in the aristocratic family.

With such a strategy that kills three birds with one stone, the uncles present felt that no matter which family they belonged to, there was no reason to refuse.

They never expected that the strategy they thought was foolproof would push Li You to the forefront of the times.

At this moment, Li You did not have such awareness at all.

He was telling fairy tales to Xiao Lizhi and cousin Siyi, eating delicious food, and having a great time.
