Chapter 240 Huang Chong
This Huang Langjun was originally a wealthy family in Shu. If he comes forward, it will definitely be much better than doing it himself.
Although my Lord's behavior of seeking refuge with the Prime Minister can be regarded as a way of survival for the Li family, it does not mean that those big families who are not convinced by the Han will recognize me.
But this is different for Huang Langjun.
Huang Langjun’s real name is Huang Chong, and he is the son of Huang Quan.
Huang Quan can be regarded as the representative figure of the local aristocratic family who took refuge with the late emperor.
The late emperor insisted on attacking Wu, and Huang Quan also advised him.
Later, when he saw that the late emperor did not obey, he asked himself to be the pioneer and let the late emperor sit in the rear.
Had the late emperor listened to Huang Quan's words, even if Yiling was defeated, it would not have been such a disastrous defeat.
It’s just that the late emperor not only wanted to go to the front in person, but also sent Huang Quan to the north of the Yangtze River to guard against Cao’s thieves. After the defeat, Huang Quan was cut off from his retreat and had to surrender to Cao’s thieves.
So the Huang family staying in Shu was very embarrassed.
Although the late emperor said, "If you live up to Huang Quan, power will not live up to Gu Ye", Huang Quan is now considered to be in a high position with Cao Cao. How dare the Huang family dare to take this sentence because of the late emperor's words? Seriously?
So I have to be cautious in everything I do on weekdays, for fear of causing big trouble.
Given the current situation of the Huang family, if they go out to collect some grain from the rich family, I guess no one will doubt it.
Just, why are they so kind?
“Why?”
Li Yi didn’t believe that the Huang family didn’t know the risks behind this.
Although their current situation is not very good, according to the late emperor's words, I believe that no one will deliberately seek trouble for them.
But if they get involved in this matter again, they will truly offend the powerful family in Shu - it doesn't matter if they take refuge in the imperial court, but if they want to ruin other people's good deeds in return, the Huang family will have no way out.
The Huang family knew what it meant to offend the family and not be welcomed by the court.
“I just want to ask my brother for a favor.”
Huang Chong said in a low voice.
“What are you busy with?”
“Brother, please help me introduce Feng Langjun from Hanzhong.”
“Feng Langjun?”
Li Yi finally smiled. He leaned on the back of the chair and patted the chair. Unexpectedly, just a few months later, even restaurants had this thing.
"This matter is easy to say, easy to say, but difficult to say, I am also embarrassed. Because the Feng Langjun you mentioned, I want to call you brother."
Li Yi is not afraid to say this. Anyway, there is nothing embarrassing about it.
"It's easy to introduce, but you have to give me a thorough understanding."
To be blunt, if I open my mouth, my brother will definitely give me face, but because of this, I have to be extra careful.
Otherwise if something goes wrong, you will be the one who is embarrassed.
Huang Chong seemed to have done his homework early, and he was not surprised when he heard Li Yi's words.
He pondered for a moment and then said: "Not talking about those people from the big clan who don't want to come out, let's just talk about the young men that big men can see nowadays. Feng Langjun is the leader. I don't know whether Brother Li will admit this. ?”
“That’s natural.”
Li Yi nodded, even if the second son Guan and Zhang had inherited a title, in terms of merit and ability, Li Yi really believed that Feng Yong was better than them.
As for those so-called talents that aristocratic families were unwilling to let go, Li Yi looked down upon them even more.
Brother is a person who can't even be controlled by the Prime Minister, but has to accommodate him. And those aristocratic families, in the hands of the Prime Minister, don't dare to be angry and dare not speak out?
“I heard that Brother Li’s clan brother became the magistrate of Nanxiang County because of Feng Langjun’s recommendation?”
"good."
"Hanzhong was originally a desolate land. Although the imperial court is now carrying out a large-scale reclamation, Nanxiang County is located in a remote area. I am afraid that I will not be able to get up in a year and a half. I am not talented, so I would like to go here and become a minor official."
Li Yi finally understood this time. He looked at Huang Chong, sat upright, and then slowly said after a while: "You want my brother to recommend you to Nanxiang?"
“Please also ask Brother Li to make it happen.”
“Who gave you the idea?”
Li Yi said in a deep voice.
Is Nanxiang County desolate?
The answer is yes, no matter who comes, Li Yi will say so.
Located in a remote part of Hanzhong, most of it is surrounded by mountains and hills. Further down the Han River, you will find the location of the rebel Meng Da.
Who would want to go to such a shabby place?
That's why the clan brother can become such a county magistrate, or else try changing to a county around Jincheng? It would be nice to be the county registrar.
Because it was a poor place, the prime minister accepted his brother's proposal and immediately agreed. He didn't even appoint any subordinate officials. He only said that if there were suitable people in the future, he would appoint another one.
The meaning of this is actually that the candidates for official positions, whether they are brothers or clan brothers, can be recommended by themselves. When they get to the prime minister, it is basically a process.
But he knows his own affairs, and my brother said that within two or three years, Nanxiang would definitely be a prosperous place. Whether you want official status or merit, you can get it by just lying down.
Li Yi believes that is the truth.
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s talk about the textile workshop. My brother has already started to move people to Nanxiang County. Just this alone, I don’t know how much the population will increase?
This is basically the private land of a few brothers. How can others get involved?
Who doesn’t hate being picked out peaches? If you dare to reach in, you must be prepared to be chopped into pieces.
Whether it was intentional or not, Li Yi had to ask clearly.
“Brother Li, look at what the Huang family is like now. It’s disgusting. If the Prime Minister doesn’t speak up, who would dare to help? If the Prime Minister is willing, I don’t need to ask Brother Li?”
Huang Chong laughed at himself, with a hint of emotion, mistook the soup on the table for wine, and drank it down.
Li Yi understood. The Huang family was unwilling to do so.
Your Majesty has not yet taken charge, and there is no way for the Prime Minister. However, he has taken refuge with the late emperor, and the aristocratic families in Shu may not welcome him. If the Huang family does not want to continue like this, they can only try their best to gain a chance.
“You Huang family, do you know who wants this food?”
“The Huang family’s family is in Brazil County, so the news in Hanzhong is naturally better than that in Jincheng.”
Huang Chong seemed to know everything and believed everything he said.
Li Yi confirmed the last point and asked: "Is it convenient to speak here?"
Huang Chong's eyes lit up and he changed his decadent look, "It's convenient, I can be sure that no one around can hear it."
“There’s no need to be so cautious.” Li Yi smiled, “Just don’t make it known to everyone passing by.”
"Since Huang Langjun is so honest, I won't hide it from you. If the Huang family can get food, the price will be easy to talk about. As for the introduction, I can only say that I mentioned it to my brother. As for what he thinks, I will tell you I no longer know."
“This will do, this will do.”
Huang Chongxi couldn't help but stood up and saluted, "I thank Brother Li for his help."
“No need to thank me, it’s just for the sake of the Huang family’s food.”
Li Yi refused Huang Chong's thanks, stood up and walked towards the door. Finally, he turned back and said, "Given the current situation of the Huang family, we should make a decision about what we should do."
Huang Chong looked at Li Yi silently and bowed deeply.
