Chapter 699: Establishing a conversation

Chang'an, outside Sang Mansion

Wang Yun deliberately asked his carriage to wait outside the gate. As soon as Pei's carriage appeared, it was stopped by Wang Yun's entourage.

Then, Wang Yun boarded Pei Zheng's carriage.

In the carriage, after a verbal exchange between the two sides.

Wang Yun smiled and asked, "Brother Pei, do you think highly of Pingzhou?"

Pei Zheng also smiled, "Brother Wang, you are also very afraid of Pingzhou."

"What do your Pei family plan to do?" Wang Yun asked curiously.

Pei Zheng did not answer, but asked with a smile, "What about you Wang family, what are your plans?"

On both sides, you look at me and I look at you. Who among them doesn’t know who is the other? Who will reveal their trump card?

When they said their final goodbyes, the two looked polite and distant.

……

After leaving Sang Mansion, the heads or young heads of these aristocratic families took advantage of the rare opportunity to gather in Chang'an and began to have one-on-one contact in private. Inspect each company's attitude towards Pingzhou, and then decide whether to cooperate or not.

In the end, several major families were divided into two factions, one was the compromise faction headed by the Pei family, and the other was the hardline faction headed by the Langya Wang family.

The prominent families of the three Jin Dynasties in Hedong advanced and retreated together, and the Wang family of Taiyuan and the Wang family of Langya were connected by the same spirit.

The Li family of Zhaojun was still hesitant. After discussing with the clan elders, they decided to join the Wang family alliance.

Since ancient times, rare things have been valued. The Li family of Zhao County and the Xue family of Hedong are both powerful clans. If they join the faction headed by Pei family, their value will not be fully reflected.

After reaching an intention to cooperate and forming a secret alliance, they acted independently.

As the saying goes, snakes have their own ways, and rats have their own ways.

For these aristocratic families, in addition to the talents of each family serving as officials, there are also officials supported by various aristocratic families in the Dali court.

Although they failed to install their own people in the political center of Pingzhou because Pingzhou rose too fast, haven't the Cui family of Qinghe and the Lu family of Zhuozhou been included in Pingzhou's territory? There are quite a few talented members of these two clans. Some of them should be making a name for themselves in Pingzhou, right?

Of course, except for these two companies, as long as they are willing to pay enough price, they can always find a way to get in touch with the top leaders of Pingzhou.

"I have sent the summons back." Pei Zheng said to Liu Shaoyun.

Liu Shaoyun: "You have the final say on this matter, why don't we go back quickly?"

Pei Zheng said, "Don't be in a hurry to go back."

It is related to the fate of the family. Before joining forces with others, or forming an alliance with others, the entire situation has been discussed repeatedly, and the general decision or direction of the family has been determined. If there are no major emergencies that can change the family's decision-making, you only need to implement the family's decision step by step.

Although others are in Chang'an and still inquiring about the attitudes of various aristocratic families, in fact, their Pei family has already arranged for people to go to Pingzhou to operate.

Therefore, if the two of them don't go back, they won't delay things.

The Pei family and the Liu family, apart from the young master of the family, are some capable people, so they are not the only ones in the clan. Chang'an is also turbulent here, so stay and see if there are any opportunities.

"We are taking action here, and Wang's action will not be too slow." Liu Shaoyun said.

Pei Zheng shook his head and was not optimistic about the actions of Wang and others.

In short, the family is taking action.

It should be said that in the age of great strife, all the forces were on the move.

Pingzhou

Lu Songli was pregnant, but Qin Xuan's full-moon wine was held when she was forty-two days old.

Because the ceremonial officer in Pingzhou told Lu Songli and the Qin and Lu families that the day after twelve days would be auspicious and much better than the full moon day.

However, Qin Xuan has begun to receive full moon gifts one after another.

After Lu Songli was out of confinement, she began to summon civil and military officials one after another.

The first people she met were her father, Xue Xu and others.

They were relieved to see Lu Songli's body recovering well.

Lu Desheng mentioned something first, "Recently, many aristocratic families in Dali have given gifts to my family."

"My subordinates, they also gave it away." Xue Xu's face was tense. He had no good impression of Dali's big family.

Lu Songli groaned, indicating that she understood.

Lu Desheng asked Lu Songli, "They may not have any intention of secretly attacking Pingzhou. What do you think?"

Lu Songli: "There are conditions, right?"

The purpose of joining is to share the interests of the group, not simply to be loyal.

Xue Xu said disgustedly, "Yes, the conditions are not low." People from the Langya Wang family, hey!

"What conditions?" Lu Songli was curious.

Xue Xu said with a straight face, "They hope to retain their local fields and wealth."

impossible! Lu Songli replied subconsciously.

She knew that in the feudal dynasty, the speed of the land annexation process determined the speed of dynasty change.

And from later generations, land is collectively owned property, and this collective is divided into state ownership and collective ownership.

However, the establishment of the Pingzhou regime was inseparable from the soldiers who fought and died for Pingzhou, as well as the talents who made great contributions to Pingzhou.

When Pingzhou reaches a certain stage of development, it is necessary to reward people based on their merits.

As for how to distribute and reward, she needs to think carefully.

Because the law of distribution and the ability to manage and control determine whether the group can continue and operate in a relatively healthy manner.

Xue Xu asked, "I wonder what kind of conditions the aristocratic family who contacted Mr. Lu proposed?"

Lu Desheng replied, "The person who contacted me was the Pei family from the Three Jin Dynasties in Hedong. Their appetite is not that big. They just want to keep half of their fields and wealth. And judging from their appearance, if we are not satisfied, we can still talk."

Xue Xu snorted softly, this Pei seemed to be talking a lot.

"If all the aristocratic families in Dali joined us, how much trouble would be saved." Lu Desheng felt sorry for his daughter who was working so hard.

How could Lu Songli not know that saying, he who wins the family will win the world.

But what the family wanted was for the emperor and scholar-bureaucrats to rule the world together, and she couldn't possibly agree! The world belongs to the scholar-bureaucrats, and even the emperor is only their spokesperson.

Some shortcuts cannot be taken, otherwise...

They are not working so hard to support a special class of people.

But I can't say this.

In short, in order to win the recognition and power of the family and let her recognize the legality of her land ownership, she was unwilling.

Rather than benefiting aristocratic families, she would rather benefit her followers, allow them to be prosperous together, and allow them to possess certain means of production.

"We can continue to negotiate the conditions." Lu Desheng said.

"Those aristocratic families have hinted that to show their sincerity, they can help us kill your nemesis, your ex-fiancé and my ex-fiance." Lu Desheng did not deny that this made him very tempted.

Lu Songli:......
