Chapter 4: Enmity and Enmity VII "Let's go, boss" Cheng Mingzhen smiled and personally sent Koji out of the house.
For the return that Koji Liang said, he didn't take it to heart at all.
First of all, he really doesn't lack much money at the moment.
Secondly, Koji Liang's high-minded remarks about officialdom made him feel that the Tang Dynasty was faintly disappointed, so he was confused about everything outside his body.
"It's a big deal, Lao Tzu won't do it, find a place to be a rich man" As soon as this thought came out, the sky was immediately wide in front of him.
Cheng Mingzhen rebelled back then just to find a way to live, but now he feels that he has lived a very beautiful life, and he definitely can't do anything to harm the people in order to go further.
This is not because of how kind and benevolent his heart is, but because he has personally experienced the pain of "calling the heavens and the earth not working" when the ordinary people encounter flying disasters, and he dare not forget his roots when his days are just right.
In line with this open-minded mentality, he was extremely lenient when carrying out the task of relocating people.
Those who are willing to go, one does not fall all with them, and those who are unwilling to go, except for the county seat Anyang and Ye County, which is adjacent to the county seat, are not very reluctant.
When I passed through the Taihang Valley, I saw that there were many women who were holding their children and breastfeeding, so I simply waved my hand and let them decide to stay.
Those who are willing to go to Hedong can stay behind with their families and slowly catch up with the team, and those who are really difficult to leave their homeland, even if they have already received two yuan from Cui Shang, they do not have to return it, and they will return to their hometowns on their own.
When they arrived in Hedong, everyone was busy again.
Divide wasteland, establish tuntian points, and select Lizheng, village elders, and low-level officials, etc., so that people have no time to take care of anything else.
Fortunately, everyone has many years of experience in Tuntian, and with the full assistance of local officials, it will not be a mess.
When the dust settled, the treetops around them began to turn green.
Cheng Ming shook his spirits, and while seizing the time to train the troops, he waited for the imperial court to hold him accountable for violating his yang and yin.
Unexpectedly, the imperial court had no intention of pursuing it at all, as if the holy decree of "emptying Wei County" had never been issued, and everything was quietly stopped.
After inquiring carefully, I found that all this was the result of Koji Liang, Cui Shang and others running up and down with all their might.
Some prominent families in Hebei originally had their own sons and nephews in the imperial court, and Li Yuan was on fire at that time, and those people did not dare to come forward to fight for the interests of the family.
Later, when Li Yuan's anger subsided, he began to try all kinds of ways to resolve the crisis.
If it was mediated layer by layer, several pillars and ministers in the imperial court also felt that the original relocation order was too hasty, so they simply turned a blind eye to Cheng Mingzhen's dereliction of duty, and Quan Dang didn't see anything.
But events have always been unexpected.
In April, an eyeliner sent back news from the eastern side of Taihang Mountain, saying that all parts of Hebei are now reciting the good deeds of General Cheng of the Tang Dynasty to "liberate more than 1,000 women and children".
There are also people who carved Cheng Mingzhen's immortal card, and burned incense and bowed constantly on the first and fifteenth days of the new year.
When Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, heard this, his face was gloomy at first, and he soon smiled again, and called the officials who had given him the idea of migrating the people that day out of the ranks, scolded him in front of the civil and military ministers, and relegated him to Longxi to open up the wasteland.
Then, on the grounds of "broadcasting the benevolence and righteousness of the Tang Dynasty", Cheng Mingzhen was promoted to the founding county marquis, and the number of food towns increased to 1,000.
Wang Ermao also followed the rising tide and got the title of the founder of the country, with 500 households.
The holy decree arrived in the east of the river, and the whole camp of Zhaozhou thundered with joy.
Only Wang Ermao was the only one who got cheap and behaved, and found Cheng Mingzhen in private, and complained in a low voice: "His grandmother's, Lao Tzu still thinks that Datang is different from Dasui."
Who knows it really doesn't make a difference.
The so-called sufferings of the people are all heard from them.
What the imperial court really cares about is just a few families and a few surnames."
"Don't speak, no one treats you as a dumb person" Cheng Mingzhen glared at Wang Ermao and scolded in a low voice.
"I just feel panicked in my heart," Wang Ermao looked around, and then sighed.
"Do you still think that there are really people who carve the immortal tablet for you, similar good deeds, we did a lot when we were in Juluze, why didn't anyone think of carving the immortal tablet for you at that time?"
"Of course I know that it was the Koji Boss and Cui Shang who were secretly making trouble" Cheng Mingzhen smiled and shook his head slightly.
On the day the news about the immortal card came, he had already guessed the cat behind it.
With the power of Cui and Koji in Hebei, it is almost a matter of effort to instigate the tenants at home to carve a few immortal cards, and then let the tablets flow into the hands of Datang Xizuo.
The reason why I made a fuss about the partial example of "releasing more than 1,000 women and children", but the Spring and Autumn penmanship used for the entire relocation process was to let the Tang Emperor Li Yuan have a step down and not feel too embarrassed.
But the reason why Koji Liang, Cui Shang and others did this was not just to repay their kindness.
First of all, they also need to find an opportunity to end this relocation turmoil as soon as possible, so as not to be caught in the future.
Secondly, for several major families in Hebei, the generals from the Zhaozhou battalion are a group of rising stars worthy of long-term communication, and since they have already caught the line, they never want to cut off the contact again.
"Knowing that you are still tossed by them under your banner" Wang Ermao was a little dissatisfied, glared at Cheng Mingzhen, and asked angrily. “ "At least for you and me, it doesn't hurt, isn't it" Cheng Mingzhen smiled and comforted in a low voice.
"Yes, maybe you can have a good relationship with Koji Liang and take care of each other in the officialdom in the future" Wang Ermao felt very bored, and dragged out his voice and ridiculed.
"It's better than having one more group of enemies," Cheng Mingzhen smiled again, shaking his head and replied.

"There are many things in reality that can't be changed by the two of us alone.
It's better to get used to it slowly.
Back then, Zhang Da swore to kill all the world's wealthy families, but he put his life on the line.
Dou Jiande said that he wanted to eradicate the injustice in the world, and in the end he created more injustice than before.
The two of us, alas, would be nice to be able to keep ourselves from being trampled under our feet like before.
Why be too dissatisfied" "Yes, with the light and dust, close your eyes, pretend that you don't see anything, anyway, it's none of my business" Wang Ermao shrugged his shoulders and said stupidly.
Cheng Mingzhen didn't bother to pay attention to him, and his eyes fell back to the bookcase.
On the table was a letter that had just been sent from Jingshi, written by Master Pei Lian.
The letter said a lot of nonsense, and it was only near the end that he faintly hinted that he had done too recklessly in that incident a few days ago, and he must be careful in the future.
It is not cowardly for officials to know how to be flexible, and to give up some of the things they originally insisted on at all times.
It's only when you reach a certain height that you can do something you want to do For this old man who doesn't have much friendship with him, but gives him a lot of help.
Cheng Mingzhen always kept a respect in his heart.
Although it is rumored that Pei Lin is greedy, lustful and cunning.
But clearing the fog of rumors, Cheng Mingzhen slowly discovered that many of the things Pei Lin did definitely benefited more than him.
It can be said that the Tang Dynasty has been able to come to this state step by step, and Pei Lin has contributed a lot to it.
Many of the old man's actions seem to be in line with the way of a gentleman, but they make the Tang Dynasty, many people around him, and himself, constantly get rewarded.
He is not a minister, nor is he a minister, but he has played a much greater role in the rise of the Tang Dynasty than many ministers and ministers.
He is not very principled in doing things, and sometimes even goes with the flow, but he has done things that many people can't dream of with weight.
If you don't get involved, the outcome will never be satisfactory to you.
Looking at the letter in front of him, Cheng Mingzhen remembered what Pei Lin had said to him that day.
When the waves come, it is admirable to be a proud rock, and would rather break your bones than give in and retreat.
It takes more than just courage to set up a boat to get the tide on it.
It takes wisdom, faith, and perseverance to add to courage.
By the time he finally returned to reality, it was already dark outside.
Wang Ermao was still sitting next to him, holding a tea cup and reading the newspaper boringly.
"You didn't go" Cheng Ming shook his head and asked apologetically, "There is something else to do with me" "Of course, it's not just for the sake of complaining" Wang Ermao ignored the faux pas of his best friend, put down the newspaper, and replied with a smile.
"I'm getting married, and the wedding is scheduled for the sixth day of next month.
When the time comes."
"Don't worry, I'm sure the scenery will help you take your daughter-in-law into the door" Before Wang Ermao finished speaking, a smile had already surged up from Cheng Mingzhen's heart and surged to the corner of his mouth, "I thought you would be a bachelor in your life."
"What else can I not think of, after so many years" Wang Ermao sighed and replied softly, "People can't live in the past, didn't the surname Cui say that Lao Tzu is now a person with a head and a face, and he can stand on his own family."
"Don't keep talking about these useless words," Cheng Mingzhen heard that Wang Ermao still had a trace of regret in his heart, and said with a smile.
"It was the daughter of the martial arts family, Mo Juanzi, who secretly went to see her, and it was very good.
Definitely a lady who meets your requirements" "Lao Tzu doesn't care about everyone's beauty now.
Don't make trouble for Lao Tzu after passing the door, be kind to Lao Tzu's mother, it's enough" Wang Ermao was also very satisfied with this family business, but he still pretended to be very hard.
"If she can't cook or get a needle, I'll slap her and go home."
"Okay, okay, you have the ability, okay" Cheng Ming shook his head angrily, "It's really a matter of retiring his wife, how can he send someone to the door, raiding the old father-in-law's house, treating him as an adopted daughter and deliberately deceiving him."
"Hehe, hehe," Wang Ermao grinned stupidly, "Then no one will dare to marry my daughter to me in the future."
Forget it, the wife is endless, just take ten or eight concubines" The two brothers were talking nonsense without saying a word, and the porter came to pass the ceremony, saying that Shangdang County Cheng Cui Shang came to visit.
For this officialdom oilman who has no real skills, but is old and sophisticated, Cheng Mingzhen has always been a little wary, thought about it, and ordered in a low voice: "Invite him to the living room to serve tea, I'll go over immediately" "Yes, sir," the porter agreed, and turned to make arrangements.
Cheng Mingzhen sent Wang Ermao away, changed into civilian clothes worn in officialdom, and went to meet guests.
As soon as the guest and host finished greetings, Cui Shang immediately lowered his voice and asked sneakily: "I heard that the Hou Ye and Wei Gong Li Mishi are out of the same house, right?"
Cheng Mingzhen thought about it and nodded slightly.
"Maybe.
I started late, and on the day of apprenticeship, I once heard my teacher mention it, and I seemed to think that my teacher was very unfortunate.
But I don't know exactly how."

"That guy is ruthless and cunning, and it is indeed insulting to the master" Cui Shang didn't have the slightest good impression of Li Mi when he heard Cheng Mingzhen's words, and immediately changed his tone and said.
"But that guy has already returned to the Tang Dynasty. was also named Xing Guogong.
I also heard that the emperor was going to marry his cousin to him. ” "Oh" Cheng Mingzhen responded softly, not showing much interest in the news.
In fact, he didn't have any hatred for Li Mi, who tried to harm him back then, but was unsuccessful.
Now that the huge tile village has been played by the other party and collapsed, the retribution is enough, and he can't step on him again.
"He, he seems to be going to Jingshi to thank him recently."
Seeing that Cheng Mingzhen was always lukewarm, Cui Shang's speech gradually began to be restrained, "In, in the next thought Cheng, General Cheng wanted to know his whereabouts, so he ran over with a blank eye."
"I know what he is doing," Cheng Mingzhen asked with a smile.
But then he realized that this was the Cui family showing favor to himself.
Recently, the rich people in Hebei have been trying to win him over, and the tricks are constantly being renovated, which has made him feel a little impatient.
What the other party values is nothing more than the title of the founding marquis on his head now, and he looks forward to being rewarded when he soars in the future.
But as a person who has been bullied by wealthy families, it is difficult for Cheng Mingzhen to sincerely accept the other party's kindness.
"That, that" Cui Shang stammered suddenly, unable to say a complete sentence for a long time.
As the leader of the clan, his scheming is definitely deep enough.
But when you encounter Cheng Mingzhen, who doesn't get in the oil and salt, there is always a feeling that there is nowhere to use the strength of the whole body.
"But thank you for coming to tell me," Cheng Mingzhen thought for a moment and continued.
"But I'm not going to entertain him.
I am just a county marquis, and the status gap between them is too big to climb.
If Cui Juncheng wants to meet him, it will not be difficult.
Hanoi is the territory of Wang Junkuo.
Recently, the battle ahead has not been tight, and in terms of past friendships, General Wang will rarely go back to see Li Mi."
"I, I mean" Cui Shang held back the sweat in his head, stood up, and said with a red face.
"I thought the general had a holiday with him, so I came to let him know.
Since the general didn't take him seriously at all, I won't dwell on it too much.
It's getting late, please let me quit first."
"I'm here to see off Master Cui" Cheng Mingzhen got up with a smile and politely sent Cui Shang out of the door.
When the figure of the guest disappeared in the faint night, he shook his head and strode back to his house.
Li Mi returned to Tang.
You have to pass by Hanoi.
Cui Shang knew the news and rushed to inform himself.
Suddenly, his eyes were slightly cold, and he stretched out his hand to his waist.
Around the waist, where knives used to hang were a Pisces bag.
That is the mark of the Tang dignitary, and he is no longer a Jianghu person now
