Chapter 1015: Deadlock in Guanzhong
Li Dai sent someone to find Li Wei and others. He went to the ancestral hall next door and happened to see his fourth uncle Li Linhao sunbathing in the yard. Li Linhao was the one who had been slapped hard by Pei Sanniang and lost several teeth. Old and disrespectful man.

Li Linhao was the pioneer of Li Xiu back then. Later, when he found out that Li Xiu was dying, he was the first to step on Li Xiu and returned to the East Temple with several partial houses. After Li Dai solved the housing problem for them, he became even more popular. He became extremely loyal, ran back to the West Temple, and brought the last group of tribesmen back to the East Temple. Li Xiu became completely alone.

This is a typical snob. From ancient times to the present, every family has a lot of such people. Li Dai is kind and does not hold grudges. Li Linhao is the only living elder, so he gives Li Linhao the highest family subsidy of 30 kuan per month. Money, just like him, the patriarch.

"Fourth Uncle, I'm just looking for you!"

"Ouch, the clan leader is here."

Li Linhao was about to stand up and salute. Li Dai quickly helped him sit down. He also sat down and said, "I would like to ask my fourth uncle, does our family have an ancestral hall in Luoyang?"

Li Linhao nodded, "That was when I was a boy. At that time, the capital had not been moved to Chang'an. The capital was still in Luoyang. The main residence of our family was in Quanshanfang. Next to it was the ancestral hall. It was very small, only half an acre of land. Later I heard that even The main house was sold together, and I went back there once during the Kaiyuan period, and there was already a small Taoist temple over there, I forgot its name."

"It's called Tieguantang, right?"

"Yes! Yes! It's called Tieguantang."

Li Dai just looked at it and saw that the name on the land deed was called Tieguantang, covering an area of ​​two acres. It was really the former ancestral hall of their family.

"Clan leader, what's the emergency?"

Li Dai nodded, "You can go to the 16th House. The houses are concentrated in Quanshanfang and Gong'anfang!"

Li Wei and Li Jun looked at each other and said happily: "In this case, some of our tribe can go to Luoyang."

"About Luoyang, Fourth Uncle, you should also come and listen!"

Li Linhao has three sons, Wei Tang, Wei Xing and Wei Ping. He got a two-acre house and lived with his eldest son's family. The second son Wei Xing also got a small house of one acre. The youngest son Wei Ping just got married and currently lives with his father. Together.

Li Linhao's heart moved and he quickly said: "Let me name my family Weiping first!"

At this time, Li Wei and Li Jun walked quickly. They were the backbone of the family.

Hearing that there was a house in Luoyang, he would definitely grab one for his third son.

The four of them came to sit down at the table in the house. Li Dai took out a thick stack of land deeds and said, "This is the property deed of Luoyang. It was purchased by King Qi for the family. There are a total of sixteen houses of one acre, two restaurants, and two Nanshi shops. , and an ancestral hall!”

In fact, everyone doesn't like this Li Linhao. He relies on his elders and especially likes to take advantage. They are afraid of suffering a little loss. Since he is the senior one, they don't want to argue with him.

Li Dai had no choice but to nod, "Okay, Weiping counts one, and there are fifteen small houses. Let Shanzi draw lots! If you draw, you will go to Luoyang. The house in Chang'an will still be reserved for me."

Li Wei suppressed his disgust for Li Linhao and asked: "Clan leader, what's going on in the ancestral hall?"

"It was our family's former ancestral hall in Luoyang, which later became a Taoist temple. King Qi bought it together and gave it back to us."

Although Li Ye is also a member of the family, he has a transcendent status. His name is in the ancestral temple and not in the family ancestral hall, but the name of his son Li Jin is in the ancestral hall. At the same time, the family unanimously decided to call him His Royal Highness King Qi and not allowed to call him Ye'er. This would be disrespectful to him, and also to prevent Li Linhao and others from being self-righteous, using the name of King Qi's elders to mess around outside and ruining King Qi's reputation. reputation.

Li Linhao narrowed his eyes and smiled: "The ancestral hall used to only have half an acre, but now it has two acres. What a good thing!"

Li Jun next to him asked: "Master, what does the shop sell?"

Li Dai shook his head, "I don't know either. Let's talk about it after we get there!"

Li Jun smiled and said: "It is best to sell cotton from Longyou, the profit will be huge, and the wine from Zhangye is also good."

"I think it should be okay. Let's not discuss this issue now. I'll go back and inform everyone that the lottery will begin tonight."

Now, Li Dai can go to Luoyang with peace of mind. Sixteen clan members go to Luoyang, and the family can support itself again.

Negotiations between Longyou and Longyou are still continuing. The two sides have reached an agreement on the Jingxiang issue. Jiangxia County and Hanyang County will be assigned to Guanlong Jiedu Prefecture. These two counties cover a large area. There are only two counties in Mianzhou, Chachuan. The county occupies one-third of Mianzhou in the west, Hanyang County occupies two-thirds of Mianzhou, and the same goes for Jiangxia County, which occupies one-third of Ezhou. They are all the essence of the plains.

To continue to retain the Jingxiang navy and use Jiangxia and Hanyang as naval bases, Li Ye certainly had his own ideas. If Longyou's fleet was not considered, and only Bashu and Jingxiang in the south were counted, then the number of ships in Jiedufu would have exceeded Two thousand ships, there are more than 1,000 ships in the battlefield alone, and more than 900 cargo ships.

Among the more than two thousand ships, there are 21 warships and cargo ships with 5,000 stone, and five cargo ships with 10,000 stone. These are giants. They are the five sea-going ships that Zhang Ping bought from Mingzhou. When going to Japan, the Japanese envoys to the Tang Dynasty took these giant ships to the Tang Dynasty. Later, after they were renovated, they were bought by Zhang Ping and transported to Hanyang.

Therefore, Li Ye considered using Hanyang as a cargo ship base and Jiangxia as a navy base. Since the agreement did not stipulate an upper limit for the navy, he could expand the navy to 100,000 people if necessary in the future.

According to the terms of the exchange, the imperial court handed over the full governance of the Anxi, Beiting and Hezhong Suiye areas to Qi King Li Ye. Li Ye served as the Great Protector of Anxi, and at the same time served as the Jiedu Envoy of Anxi and Beiting, and the Hezhong Economic Envoy.

Secondly, the four prefectures of Hanzhong were handed over to the jurisdiction of Helong Jiedu Prefecture. In exchange, Li Ye returned the entire territory of Jingxiang and Dengzhou, Ruzhou, Yuzhou, Ezhou, Yuezhou and Lizhou to the imperial court.

However, the two sides differed greatly in the negotiations between Guanzhong and Guanzhong.

In the official room, Liu Yan said to Li Ye and Chief Shi Li Mi: "The Emperor insists on garrisoning troops in Chang'an, Tongguan, and Pujin Pass. Although they promised that the upper limit will not exceed 30,000, the Emperor is determined not to allow our troops to be stationed in Guanzhong.

The emperor believes that Guanzhong has nothing to do with us. He does not need to ask for our consent whether to station troops. As long as His Highness promises to maintain the status quo and not get involved in Guanzhong. "

Li Ye spread his hands and said, "In that case, there is no need to negotiate."

Li Bi said slowly: "I suggest that we simply delete the Guanzhong clause from the negotiations. We exchange Jingxiang for Anxi. The court does not suffer. The court actually has no control over Anxi Beiting. Even if we control Anxi and Beiting, the government and the opposition will not be able to control Anxi and Beiting." I don’t know, but Jingxiang and the Six Additional Prefectures were given to the imperial court with real money. We have already taken them and paid a great price. If we seriously calculate this account, we will suffer a big loss."

Li Ye smiled and said: "But the real purpose of the emperor's negotiation is Guanzhong. I hope I promise not to get involved in Guanzhong, and then keep my promise."

Liu Yan smiled and said: "The emperor may also know that there will be problems in the Guanzhong negotiations. He hinted to Wei Gong that he can negotiate with Guanzhong and Guan Nei Dao together. What the emperor means is that if we make concessions on Guanzhong, he can make concessions on Guan Nei Dao."

It is a good idea to replace Guanzhong with Guanner. Li Ye said slowly: "Let me think about it!"
