Rebirth of Tang Dynasty as a dad

"Okay, okay, if I come out with you, and there are more people when I go back, do you think you can continue to stay in Du's house in the future? Can Changle and Wu Zhao forgive you?

I gave your nephew acupuncture to relieve pain before, and now I’m prescribing a prescription for dispelling blood stasis and activating blood circulation, you go grab the medicine, boil it, apply it externally, and wrap it up in three days. "

Speaking of which, Du Shaoqing wrote a prescription and asked Cui Hao to grab the medicine and treat the disease.

Only the father and daughter of the Du family were left in the room. Only then did Du Shaoqing turn around and see that his daughter, Xiao Xuanxuan, was sitting on the couch rubbing her right foot.

Du Shaoqing immediately rushed over and asked with concern: "What's the matter? Did you hurt your foot in a fight with someone today? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Does it hurt? Is there any other place?"

I took off my daughter's shoes and socks, good guy, all five fingers are red, and there is also a problem with the ankle, Du Shaoqing's heart aches.

But Xiao Xuanxuan explained: "Daddy, it's not because I was beaten. I kicked them for too long, and their feet hurt. They don't know any kung fu. They can't even touch the corner of my clothes. I beat them twice. It's all down.

It seems that my shoes are not very convenient for fighting. When I go back, I am going to ask my mother to make me a pair of strong shoes with wooden boards or iron sheets on the outside, so that my feet will not hurt when I fight again."

Seeing her daughter tilting her head up while describing her idea, Du Shaoqing froze her massage hand, and quickly covered her mouth to persuade her: "My dear baby, I agreed to be like you Mother, be a lady, you can't be as violent as your master, why are you always thinking about fighting?"

"Oh, daddy, you just rubbed my feet and covered my mouth before washing your hands, it stinks!

Xuanxuan has already remembered, how many times has my father said, mother is a lady, master is violent, and I want ladies not to be violent.

Hehe, next time I see Master, I will persuade her the same way. "Xiao Xuanxuan grabbed Du Shaoqing's hand and took it away from her mouth, complaining.

It's over, Du Shaoqing almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, I don't seem to mean it, it seems that my words have been written down in my daughter's small notebook, and I will wait for the day when I see the red lady and report, then I will wait for the lead die.

"Forget it, forget it, no matter what you say, we are all friends, you just need to win the fight, don't kick so hard, and hurt yourself again, don't mention those fighting shoes to your mother, if you mention it, she won't." If I don't do it for you, maybe I will beat you up." Du Shaoqing warned.

"Ah? Then, after that, will you not be able to use your feet if you hit bad guys? What if you can't beat them?" The little girl said dejectedly.

Du Shaoqing touched his daughter's little head and whispered: "Silly girl, won't you kick down with your feet next time you fight? The soles of your feet won't be damaged."

Oh oh, that's right, good idea

Chapter 2 Eighty

For the next two days, Du Shaoqing lived in Cui's house with peace of mind. Under Cui Hao's leadership, he walked around and really saw what a thousand-year-old family is. .

The houses and buildings have been passed down for many years, not to mention the old-fashioned fragrance. In terms of the area occupied, almost the entire Qinghe County belongs to the Cui family. Trade issues in different industries throughout Datang.

For example, the Wang family of Taiyuan originally controlled the salt industry of Datang, and the Cui family of Boling and the Li family of Zhaojun jointly controlled the iron industry. Let these powerful families take charge of the operation.

After Li Er came to power, the imperial court of the iron industry also allocated some to the eldest grandson's family for management. It was a sign that they wanted to slowly get back the resources, but it took time to accumulate.

Last year, Du Shaoqing came up with the secret method of salt production, and the court acted vigorously, shuffling the entire salt industry at once, causing the originally very precious white salt to become something on the table of ordinary people, and the Taiyuan Wang family's business was directly washed away.

But they dare not speak out. The imperial court occupies the righteous position. Whoever dares to stand up and stop the people in the world from eating salt, I am afraid that without instigation, the people will stand up and resist first.

It is also because of this that the Taiyuan Wang family has already hated Du Shaoqing.

As for the Qinghe Cui family among the five surnames and seven families, the industry they occupy is everything about people's livelihood. In fact, they do all aspects of basic necessities of life.

After hearing this, Du Shaoqing was deeply moved. If it wasn't for Cui Hao, a rebellious boy who tried to overthrow his family and rebuild his glory, to make it so clear to him, I'm afraid the world would be able to make it clear, only his old father-in-law, Emperor Li Er.

Buying from these people, it seems like a small business to sell wine with Cheng Yaojin, let alone make furniture and so on.

At this time, Du Shaoqing regretted that he had handed over the coal mine so easily. If he could take over the coal mining industry, he might be able to compete with these people. Unfortunately, it was too late, and the coal mine had already returned to the court.

I think the emperor Li Er at that time must be very happy. He can also see that this is something comparable to salt and iron, but it is really in the hands of the court. This is all thanks to his good son-in-law Du Shaoqing, who is Because of this, Du Shaoqing became more and more favored.

The five surnames and the seven families are so powerful that the imperial court will make concessions when they unite. Why does Cui Hao stand on the opposite side and be a rebellious boy?Du Shaoqing also asked this kid this question.

Unexpectedly, at such a young age, Cui Hao could see very clearly that the ancestors of the five surnames and seven families all had a precept, that is, not to support soldiers with self-respect, not to fight for power in troubled times, and to inherit poems and books forever!Because everyone knows: a century-old dynasty, a thousand-year family.

It may not be difficult to seize power and become a royal family, but how long has the royal family been rich?At most a hundred years, as strong as a big man, it is only about 400 years, and it is not as good as a thousand-year-old family with a long history.

This is the cornerstone of the family, but Cui Hao also saw that it is also the target of the family's instability. As the old man Cui Yanmu said, the world is created, the throne is not granted by heaven, but whoever has the military power should sit on the throne .

Although the aristocratic families do not support their own self-respect now, they are doing stupid things to run on the court and squeeze the people. It is tantamount to seizing power with the emperor in secret. Sooner or later, the emperor will bear the grudge. rescued.

I'm afraid that the emperor will lay down millions of corpses in a rage, and the army will be dispatched to directly shatter all the glorious dreams of the aristocratic family. At that time, it will be too late to regret!

Hearing Cui Hao's heart-to-heart explanation, Du Shaoqing couldn't help but sigh with emotion at this person's courage and vision. A strong man cut off his wrist is indeed far superior to ordinary people. No wonder the old man of the Cui family favored him, because the old man also saw it, but he was powerless, or he didn't have the same grandson as his grandson. Boldness and courage.

Du Shaoqing thought to himself, if the five surnames and seven families are so strong, if the imperial court kills them all, will it lead to the paralysis of the whole country?Did Cui Hao worry too much?But after thinking about it, I still didn't ask any more questions. After all, what people thought was right, prosperity must decline forever.

In fact, Du Shaoqing didn't learn much about history, so he didn't know what happened afterwards.

It is not easy for five surnames and seven families to have been brilliant for many years, but Cui Hao is right. According to historical records, these great families did decline in the Tang Dynasty. From the time Emperor Li Shimin secretly tried to disintegrate the confrontation, until the era of Empress Wu Zetian, three generations of emperors shared a common After nearly 60 years of doing this, the five surnames and seven families finally withdrew from the stage.

Of course, this is something for later, no one knows what will happen in the future.

After visiting the Cui family, Du Shaoqing also discovered that the difference between these big families and the secular world lies in education. The children in the big families, regardless of direct descendants, offshoots, etc., should be sent to the family school to study and read, so as to ensure that the children of the family can learn to read and write. The starting point of a generation is higher than that of ordinary people.

You must know that the Tang Dynasty has not carried out universal education, because without this capital, without movable type printing and papermaking, books cannot be widely disseminated, and people do not even have books in their homes, so how can we talk about literacy?

So these families can have their own schools, which is one step faster than everyone else. They even absorb some talented people with foreign surnames from around to learn, so as to confirm the status of master and apprentice with each other. In the future, if these children become officials. , and naturally the relationship network of the Cui family.

This is also the reason why the five surnames and seven families can occupy more than half of the officials in all parts of the court, and it is also the reason why the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty have had little effect.

Before studying in the Tang Dynasty, the purpose of recruiting scholars in the Sui Dynasty was to break the blockade of the aristocratic family, but now, [-]% of the students who came to take the exam were related to these families. Isn’t opening a subject to free up official positions for the members of these families?For this reason, Emperor Li Er was also secretly worried.

Apart from visiting Cui's house with Cui Hao, Du Shaoqing is really good at doing good things. He read the books in Cui's library unceremoniously. Of course, what he is interested in is nothing else, it is the hundreds of volumes that old man Cui said Inherited from the writings of physicians.

In the pre-Qin period, a hundred schools of thought contended, and the family of doctors was also a family with a long history, but it gradually declined later.

Not only that, Du Shaoqing also found the military books and battle formations they collected and showed them to Xue Rengui. This is a real gentleman, taking it without telling him is stealing, yourself?

After being persuaded and educated by Du Shaoqing, Xue Rengui let go of his insistence and read the military books, and he became addicted to it after reading it. He has too little inheritance from the Xue family, so it is rare to have the opportunity to study hard. After seeing the military books collected by the Cui family, Xue Rengui knew the origin of war It is so difficult.

The two of them immersed themselves in their studies with great interest, and some people in the Cui family were not happy. How could outsiders have the right to enter the Cui family's own library?Not to mention going in to read books, even if you borrow two volumes, you have to bow down and say a lot of good things to the Cui family.

The library is the lifeblood of the family inheritance, so many people soon went to find Mr. Cui Yanmu and started arguing.

Chapter 281 Du Shaoqing's farewell

Unlike Cui Hao, Du Shaoqing is an outsider. Even if he is a distinguished guest, he is still ignored by the Qinghe Cui clan. worth mentioning.

So this time, Cui Yanmu couldn't cover Du Shaoqing alone, because several elders of the Cui family came forward to resist this incident, and Cui Yanmu couldn't persuade these people. It can be said that this is the current situation of the entire Cui family. In the background, the juniors below will not act recklessly.

"Patriarch, how do you discipline your grandson? We can't stop you, but you leaked Qinghe Cui's inheritance privately, which violates the ancestral precepts, so we will never back down." An old man said in a deep voice to Cui Yanmu.

"Yes, people with foreign surnames steal our ethnology and must give it back." Many people echoed.

Cui Yanmu gave a heavy blow to his crutches, and said angrily, "Du Shaoqing was arranged by the old man to read the book, why did you steal it? He is a distinguished guest of the Cui family, and I specially invited him here. If there is anything, the old man will bear it alone."

"Oh? You bear it? I'm afraid you can't afford it. Du Shaoqing is the most expensive son-in-law of the dynasty, a member of the royal family, and I don't have the same heart as Qinghe Cui. If your behavior grows bigger, you will be an enemy!

The patriarch is collaborating with the enemy, I have the right to question your qualifications to be the patriarch. "An old man with white hair also stood up with a cane. This is the elder of the Qinghe Cui family. He is also highly respected and slightly younger than the patriarch Cui Yanmu.
