Chapter 205: Cui Laosan's Bad Idea

A man wearing a black robe, with a very burly and tall figure, and a slightly white beard strode into the Cui family courtyard.

This person is Cui He, the head of the Cui family.

Cui He was a famous business genius when he was young and was particularly addicted to gambling.

He once lost 300,000 taels of silver notes in one day, but with his extraordinary business talent, he earned the money back within three months.

Over the years, the aristocratic tribes of the Great Zhou Dynasty have been constantly squeezed by scholars and officials, and their status has long been different from the past, and some aristocratic tribes have even disappeared from the dust of history.

A big family and a big business are the most likely to have problems, and every small problem may become the fuse to end a century-old family.

The Cui family in Xingyuan County also had several crises, but it was all thanks to Cui He's bold and arbitrary strategy to bring the Cui family back on track.

In the Cui family, Cui He was a one-man show. No Cui family dared to object to what he said.

"Greetings to the patriarch (father)!" everyone said in unison.

Cui He glanced at the people and said, "Speak in the hall!"

After saying that, Cui He walked into the hall and sat in the main seat.

He has always been decisive in his work and does not like the cumbersome etiquette and rules of many literati and officials.

Immediately, Boss Cui quickly poured hot tea for him, then waved his hand to the door, and all the other servants retreated and closed the door.

Cui He looked down and frowned and said, "I have read the letters written by the third brother to me. He gathered public opinion to resist the new policy, so that His Majesty knew that what he did was wrong and used it to rebuild my Cui family glory. This idea is very good, but why are scholars and the people not very interested?"

Cui Laosan is Cui He's favorite son.

He took the lead and said, "Dad, things were going well. The scholars and the people of Xingyuan County could have had a few more days of trouble. But now the New Policy Inspector sent by the court has come to our Xingyuan County and has some conflicts with our Cui family!"

"New Policy Inspection Commander? What conflicts have occurred between you? Tell me in detail!" Cui He asked with a frown slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Cui Laosan told all the conflicts with Zhao Yan.

However, in his story, he naturally said how bad Zhao Yan could be.

Because a child drowned, the Cui family actually asked the Cui family to compensate him for 70% of his property.

Because two carriages competed for the road, they beat Fan Tianlong, the eldest son of the Fan family.

Cui Laosan asked him to make sense, and the latter beat them all with his guards, and some of them were even lying at home.

He also was greedy for Choi Yeon's beauty and intended to make Choi Yeon betray the Choi family for her.

...

In short, in his mouth, Zhao Yan's crime can only be described in four words: it is difficult to write.

The eldest, second, fifth, and Fan Tianlong all think that Cui Laosan’s words are very true and appropriate.

Only the more honest Liu Shiqing and Cui Mingzhi felt uncomfortable all over and almost couldn't stand it. They felt that Cui Laosan would die sooner or later in this indiscriminate mouth.

After hearing this, Cui He had already labeled Zhao Yan in his heart: a playboy who intends to be promoted by the new policy and is likely to be a second-generation official.

"A free official with the fifth rank is just a free official, so why not be afraid? I don't have to pay attention to him. Our urgent task at present is how to completely fan the emotions of the people and scholars? Let the court quickly know that our Xingyuan County's resistance to the new policy and that the new policy is indeed unfavorable to the people, and will not involve my Cui family." Cui He said.

A few days ago, when Cui He received a letter from Cui Laosan, telling him that the Cui family might be able to jump to the next level in the New Deal incident and enter the Secretariat, Cui He was so excited that he never slept all night.

He has always had a gambler mentality, including many of the achievements that the Cui family has achieved so far, only by gambled through Cui He's desperate bets.

And this time, it was an unprecedented huge gambling.

If the new policy is useless to the country, he will win the bet. As the first aristocratic family to resist the new policy, perhaps his family will be praised as the first aristocratic family in the world.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the people's hearts are more powerful than imperial power. If the Cui family is pursued by the people as the first family, then all of them, the Cui family, will be left in history.

With such a status, even if the Great Zhou Dynasty was destroyed by Beimeng, the power and reputation of the Cui family would still be unbreakable.

Because any court needs such a family that can win the hearts of the people.

As for whether he would lose by betting, Cui He never thought that he would never lose in his life.

When Cui He heard that he supported the resistance of the new policy so much, Cui Laosan couldn't help but be overjoyed and instantly had an idea.

"Dad, I have an idea. I don't know whether to say it or not?" Cui Laosan looked at Cui He and said.

Cui He said irritably: "What does it mean to speak or not, speak quickly!"

Cui Laosan looked at the people around him and couldn't help but hesitate.

"There are no outsiders here. What's there to hesitate about? Just tell me, whoever wants to reveal it, I will break his leg!"

Hearing the last half of the sentence "I broke his legs", Liu Shiqing couldn't help but tremble. His godfather said that hitting was a real blow, not to mention that he was a small magistrate, even if his son-in-law, Mo Sheng, the governor of Ganping Prefecture, had something to anger him, it would have been a big slap in the face without leaving any affection.

Cui Laosan thought for a moment and said, "Since ancient times, reforms have all started with bleeding. I think that if a few people were not killed, the court would not pay attention to it."

"If there were a few scholars in Xingyuan County who could resist the new policy with their lives and write a book to resist the new policy, it would definitely resonate with scholars all over the world. By then, the new policy would undoubtedly fail. My Cui family could bury these scholars well. As long as the matter was spread, we could use money to support more scholars and let them go to Beijing to file a lawsuit. If this matter is done, wouldn't the kindness and forward-looking eyes of the Cui family be known to everyone in the world? We have rescued the Great Zhou from the fire and fire!"

Hearing this, Cui Mingzhi felt that Cui Laosan was very terrifying.

But Cui He's eyes lit up and said excitedly: "Good idea! Good idea!"

Cui Laowu, who was standing beside him, asked in confusion: "San brother, where are we going to find such scholars?"

Cui Laosan immediately smiled.

"Is it difficult to find a toad with three legs, but Is it difficult to find a scholar with two legs? Even if they don't want to commit suicide, I have the ability to let them commit suicide!"

Cui He, who was standing beside him, looked at Cui Laosan with great appreciation and said, "Lao San, this matter will be handled with full authority. As long as it can cause shock to the court, I will remember your first contribution. As for the New Policy Inspector, if he dares to show his head in our journey, I have countless ways to kill him!"
