Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"younger generation?"

Zheng Yuandao: "That's right! The junior's surname is Zheng Mingyuan, and his style name is Defang. He is a member of the Zheng family in Xingyang! The Zheng family and the Cui family are often married. I just calculated it, and I have to call you 'Uncle Shi'!"

"Then what is your relationship with Duke Pingyang?"

Zheng Yuandao: "Thanks to the love of the Lord of Pingyang County, he fell in love with my little girl, and I want to marry my little girl."

After saying this, Cui Jiuyan understood, and thought that this Guo Ye was really a womanizer. He had only been in Mizhou for a few days, and he arranged a marriage for himself.Good husband and wife?To put it nicely, it's not a concubine!It seems that this Zheng Yuan is also a follower of power!

But it's easy to do if you have a hobby, as long as you like it, even if Guo Ye really finds something, you can just deal with it!

He said: "Then I will wish Duke Pingyang and Ling Ai a happy marriage for a hundred years and have a precious son soon!"

Zheng Yuan sighed, and said: "Thank you for your good words! But now it seems that this marriage is not easy to handle! We need Uncle Shi's help!"

"But you want the old man to be a matchmaker? It's easy to say, easy to say!"

"I don't dare to work as a matchmaker, the old patriarch! Let me tell you, it's because the family asked the Duke of Pingyang for a higher dowry, and the Duke of Pingyang couldn't afford it, so he had no choice but to ask you for help?"

Since Cui Jiuyan believed that Guo Ye was asking for bribes, he didn't bother to distinguish the truth from Zheng Yuan's words, and said: "This is easy. Although my Boling Cui family is not very rich, it is most urgent and righteous. The dowry gift of the Duke of Pingyang How much is still missing, I, Boling Cui, will make up for it!"

Guo Ye said: "Is that true? Old patriarch, are you lying to me? This dowry is not a small number!"

Cui Jiuyan said with emotion: "My Boling Cui clan is also one of the five great gentry clans. I am the head of the clan, so how can I not count my words? Let me tell you, if I say it, it doesn't count, the ancestors of the Boling Cui clan All shall be ashamed!"

Guo Ye said: "Then thank you, old patriarch! As long as you agree, I will release the two Cui brothers and burn all their confessions! What do you think?"

"The Duke of Pingyang has a heart! I don't know how much money this dowry will cost?"

Guo Ye looked at Zheng Yuan, and Zheng Yuan knew that Guo Ye wanted him to put forward the ten-fold condition, so he opened his mouth, but he always felt that it was difficult to speak, and he could not make a sound!

Seeing his embarrassment, Guo Ye had no choice but to say to himself: "There are three items of dowry! The first item is ten thousand volumes of books before the Sui Dynasty!"

"Ten thousand volumes of ancient books?" Cui Jiuyan sucked his teeth and reluctantly said, "I, Boling Cui, can still get it out!"

"The second item is [-] bronze wares from before the Sui Dynasty!"

Cui Jiuxuan gritted his teeth and said, "That can be done with all my strength!"

"Thank you, thank you! As long as you can still agree to the third item, the misunderstanding between Guo and Boling Cui will be wiped out!"

"Please speak, Lord Pingyang!"

"We still need tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land and tens of thousands of mules and horses in Henan Province!"

Before Zheng Yuan heard Guo Ye say the third condition, he had already blocked his ears!However, Zheng Jiuyan's roar still came again and again, saying: "Guo Ye, I think you are poor and crazy! Thousands of hectares of fertile land! If I sell my Cui family, there will be no ten thousand hectares of fertile land!"

Zheng Yuan was secretly startled: Duke Pingyang, didn't we agree to add a zero?Why did you add two?

Chapter 1429 Cui Jiuyan’s Memorization (1)

The ten thousand hectares of fertile land that Guo Ye blurted out was not intentional, but a slip of the tongue!

In fact, for Guo Ye, the difference between a thousand hectares of fertile land and ten thousand hectares of fertile land is not very big in his mind.

In modern society, when people talk about the big landlords in ancient times, they always say that "the family has ten thousand hectares of fertile land" and "one seedling in a thousand hectares of land"!Guo Ye has heard a lot, and he doesn't take the thousands of hectares seriously.It seems that big landowners with thousands of hectares or ten thousand hectares of land are everywhere.

But in fact, owning a thousand hectares of land can be regarded as a local tycoon.As for owning tens of thousands of hectares of land, it is definitely the target of the Tang Dynasty!Tens of thousands of hectares of land can support 6 to [-] people at least, and more than [-] people.After a little mobilization, there will be an army of [-] to [-].The timing is right, this is the capital of fighting for the world!

Although the Boling Cui clan is quite powerful, if they were asked to take out [-] hectares of land, they really wouldn't be able to take it out!

Seeing Cui Jiuyan lose his temper in a hurry, Guo Ye was taken aback, and said: "Old patriarch, can't we really raise ten thousand hectares of fertile land?"

"No, absolutely not!"

Zheng Yuan pulled Guo Ye's sleeve and whispered in his ear: "Mr. Pingyang County, you should want a thousand hectares of fertile land!"

Only then did Guo Ye understand, but he couldn't admit that he was wrong at this time, and said: "Old patriarch, don't worry, this is a request made by the Zheng family in Xingyang, you can't blame me! But, this is Guo's own marriage, As for the dowry, there is no reason why the Boling Cui family should pay all of it, why don't you... why don't you pay some of it?"

"A part?" Although Cui Jiuyan was furious, he really didn't dare to offend Guo Ye to the death. He recited "Small intolerance will lead to great conspiracy" in his heart countless times, and then he gradually calmed down, and said, "How much do you really want?"

"How about five thousand hectares?"

"no!"

"Three thousand hectares?"

"Don't think about it!"

"Then... a thousand hectares?"

"Still too much!"

Guo Ye sneered, and said: "Old patriarch, I want [-] hectares, but if you refuse to give it, you can also reason that the Boling Cui family is incompetent! Now Guo voluntarily concedes, and the [-] hectares you don't agree to. That would be too disrespectful to Guo!"

Cui Jiuyan said: "Mr. Pingyang, I would like to ask you a question. Is this Zheng Yuan really a member of the Zheng family in Xingyang?"

"That's natural!"

"Mr. Pingyang County is here because the dowry is not available, and I want the old man to help?"

"Exactly!"

Cui Jiuyan sighed, and said earnestly: "Mr. Pingyang, don't pretend! Tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land will be used as a dowry, let alone the daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang, even the princess of the Tang Dynasty. You can marry ten or eight Damn! Traveling all over the world, there is no such price! Let’s open the skylight and tell the truth, do you want money? It’s easy to say, easy to say, you say the number, I will do my best!”

"Old patriarch, you are treating the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! Don't you know that I, Guo Ye, have a share of the Changlefang big bank all over the world, and I still need money? It is really the Zheng family in Xingyang. The three conditions are too tricky, and they can't be solved with money at all, so it's on your head!"

"Mr. Pingyang, are you unwilling to tell the truth to this old man?"

"My words are true, as evidenced by the documents of the Zheng family in Xingyang!"

"Then show me Wen Qi!"

Zheng Yuanxin said that looking at the deed would reveal his secrets, and quickly stopped him: "You insist on asking the Duke of Pingyang to bring out the deed, isn't it clear that you don't trust him? It really hurts the harmony of the two families. Beauty! If you can’t get a thousand hectares of land, it’s not impossible to negotiate, how about five hundred hectares?”

Guo Ye said: "What five hundred hectares? It takes a thousand hectares, not even one hectare less!"

Cui Jiuyan is so shrewd, he can see the incongruity between the two at a glance, but then, he wants to go wrong!

He thought to himself, these two grandsons are playing tricks on the old man, one sings the red face, the other sings the bad face, forcing the old man to submit!Hehe, you guys have made a wrong calculation. I have lived such an old age, and I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. How can I fall into such a trick!When the old man does some tricks, I'll expose you all!

Cui Jiuyan twirled his silver beard with his hand, smiled lightly, and said, "Pingyang County Lord don't lie to me, the Cui family of Boling and the Zheng family of Xingyang have been married for many generations, how can I not know the price of the dowry?"

"That's because you are all five noble families, and the Zheng family of Xingyang dare not ask for more. Otherwise, when they get married, you can still ask for it back! I, Guo Ye, are different. The Zheng family of Xingyang deceived me as an upstart and wanted Blackmail me, Guo Ye..."

Cui Jiuyan waved his hand, and said: "Even if you say that the sky is full of hype, and the ground is full of golden lotus, the old man will not believe it! Unless you bring the document and show it to the old man!"

Guo Ye sneered and said, "If the deed is true, will you promise to give me ten thousand hectares of fertile land?"
