Chapter 9: Guanzhong is full of hunger, and this prosperous world is as you wish
Chapter 9: Guanzhong is full of hunger, and this prosperous world is as you wish
Li Jiancheng finally did not decide to wait for Chen Ying's plan to be implemented, and he asked Fang Xuanling to send invitations to the heads or leaders of the Guanzhong clan one by one in the name of Shangshu Province.
Fang Xuanling transcribed dozens of invitations and distributed them to the attendants of the Yuan Sui Forbidden Army.
Li Jiancheng looked at the attendants of the forbidden army and muttered: "This is an invitation issued in the name of Shangshu Province, everyone must send the invitation to each house to meet the guests on the invitation." The patriarchs of these Guanzhong families, whether they come or not, you must ask for a word of approval in person......"
Zhong Yuan bowed down with the attendants of the forbidden army and said, "Obey the order!" ”
As he spoke, Zhong Yuan turned around and left with the attendants of the forbidden army.
Yuan followed the attendants of the forbidden army, but they are all the kind of internal guards in film and television dramas. The ban of curfews does not control their heads.
Soon, the guards of the Yuan Sui Forbidden Army arrived at the compound of the Pei family's main mansion in Wenxi, and after waiting for a full hour, they received a summons from the head of the Pei family.
The attendant of Yuan respectfully handed the invitation to the head of the Pei family.
The head of the Pei family is extremely high, and even Pei Lin has to call his uncle Pei Yang.
Although Pei Yang is nearly eighty years old, his body is very tough, he opened the invitation card expressionlessly and glanced twice, and then stared at the attendants of the Yuan Sui Forbidden Army and said: "Go back and tell the servant that the old man is unwell these days, and the banquet is ...... I didn't participate. ”
Yuan Sui's attendants of the forbidden army obviously saw Pei Yang, his face was ruddy, and his eyes were full of light, and he didn't look like he was sick at all.
However, this was obviously Pei Yang's excuse, and he couldn't expose it, so he had to turn around and leave Pei's ancestral house and go back to his life.
The Xue Mansion in the east of Hedong in Chang'an City.
At this time, the family of the Xue family in Hedong was the Sui Dynasty's internal history Shilang (equivalent to the Tang Dynasty Zhongshu Shilang), and the younger brother Xue Daoshi of Kaifuyi and the three divisions and the Sili doctor Xue Daoheng.
Xue Daoshi is also nearly seventy years old, and he seems to be a general.
Xue Daoshi looked at the attendant of the Yuan Sui Forbidden Army and said: "The old man is old and has difficulty moving, please also seal the servant and be considerate." The old man didn't attend this party. ”
Yuan reluctantly left the Xue mansion with the attendants of the forbidden army.
In fact, not only the Pei family and the Xue family in Guanzhong, but also the Jingzhao Wei family, the Hedong Liu family, the Dou family, the Yuan family, and the Dugu family all hit a wall.
Li Jiancheng sat all night, the corners of his mouth covered with blisters, and looked at the dozens of Yuan Sui Forbidden Army attendants who came to restore their lives.
Li Jiancheng said angrily: "Didn't you come? ”
Fang Xuanling shook his head and was speechless, and Zhong Yuan bowed his head and remained silent with the attendants of the forbidden army.
Wei Zheng watched Li Jiancheng squint his eyes angrily, his eyes full of murder.
Wei Zheng waved his hand, and Zhong Yuan slowly withdrew from the Lizheng Hall with the attendants of the forbidden army.
Li Jiancheng said indignantly: "Back then, when we crusaded against Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, Luoyang was defeated and suffered heavy losses, we also had no food and no soldiers, it was I who came forward to ask the major families to help, they not only provided 100,000 young men, but also more than 30,000 war horses, 500,000 stone grain, and now, aren't they afraid of angering me?" ”
Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, back then, the Tang Dynasty was like a boat sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and Your Majesty will benefit from Luoyang's acres of land, and they will close the Longshi clan, so they have donated generously." But now, what they want, Your Majesty can't give it to them, even if Your Majesty has ascended the throne, let them rebel, it is not courageous, but Your Majesty is in trouble, they must be on the sidelines. ”
Li Jiancheng roared indignantly: "Aren't they afraid, I will raid their home? ”
Wei Zheng stared at Li Jiancheng helplessly and said, "Your Majesty, for what reason?" Collaboration or corruption? ”
Li Jiancheng was stunned, pinched his temples with a headache and said, "Xuan Ling, Xuan Cheng, where can I get life-saving food now?" ”
Fang Xuanling looked at Li Jiancheng blankly.
Wei Zheng said lightly: "Chen ......"
At this moment, the drums of the third watch outside sounded.
An attendant of the Yuan Sui Forbidden Army suddenly came in and said, "Your Majesty, General Chen has sent an urgent letter!" ”
Li Jiancheng hurriedly took the urgent letter.
Wei Zheng frowned slightly on the side and said, "Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry about everything, you need to work together to govern the world!" ”
Li Jiancheng held the hand of the urgent letter and trembled unconsciously.
Wei Zheng hurriedly glanced at the urgent letter, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said with emotion: "Your Majesty, God bless the Tang Dynasty!" ”
Li Jiancheng, who was not in good spirits, was crowned in full service and ascended to the Danqi.
All the officials and ministers were cautious.
Li Jiancheng cleared his throat and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, there is a natural disaster in Guanzhong, but you can't go. Now in Guanzhong, more than a dozen states and counties, starving all over the wilderness, I can't sleep well for this, you are all people of high intelligence, can you come up with a feasible strategy? ”
Li Jiancheng's eyes first stared at the prime ministers who were standing at the forefront.
Xiao Yu, Feng Deyi, Chen Shuda, Yang Gongren, Yu Wenshi and these old ministers looked at each other, and no one came out to speak.
Li Jiancheng set his eyes on Wang Jue, Fang Xuanling, and Wei Zheng and others in the back row.
Wei Zheng stepped out of the ranks, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, for today's plan, I am afraid that I can only reduce the forbidden army and the border army, and move the grain accumulated by the army out for disaster relief." ”
Wang Jue came out of the queue and said stubbornly: "Your Majesty, you can send people to the counties that have not yet been affected by the disaster to buy grain, even if it is one or two times more expensive than in previous years, you will not hesitate to do so." ”
Fang Xuanling also said: "The minister is willing to set an example and donate half of the family's grain to the imperial court." ”
Li Jiancheng looked at the ministers.
Yang Gongren said to Ai Ai: "The minister is also willing to donate half of the family's grain to the imperial court!" ”
……
The ministers expressed their willingness to sacrifice half of the stored grain, but these stored grains were more than hundreds of stones, and the few were dozens of stones, and all the civil and military officials together barely made up more than 30,000 stone of grain.
Compared with the food crisis in Guanzhong, this grain is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.
Li Jiancheng looked at the ministers, his voice suddenly raised an octave, and asked coldly, "What about the people?" What about the people in Guanzhong? ”
Xiao Yu bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court should send people to appease the people of Guanzhong, and you must not let them go out of Tongguan and beg in Hedong, Henan, otherwise the counties and counties in the world will be terrified if they don't know the inside story of Guanzhong." ”
Feng Deyi also came out and said: "If there are millions of hungry people who go out to beg, where is the face of the imperial court?" Where is Your Majesty's face? ”
Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng sighed: "Your Majesty, what Xiao Xiangguo said is extremely true, now, we must not let the hungry people go out of the customs, otherwise, it will shake the local area at the least, and cause a rebellion among the people at the worst."
The ministers also agreed.
Li Jiancheng frowned.
……
In the Qi Palace, there are a few wine jars poured on the table. Li Yuanji smiled unscrupulously while drinking wine: "Boss, now I am so worried that my hair is falling out, haha......"
While trying to snatch the wine jar from Li Yuanji's hand, Xie Shufang persuaded: "Your Highness, you have drunk too much!" ”
Li Yuanji broke free of Xie Shufang's hand and said with a smile: "I want to see the boss, how long can he be proud, and in the end, I still have to come out to clean up the mess!" ”
Xie Shufang looked at Li Yuanji who was drunk and crazy, and laughed wildly: "If you can't collect food, the army will soon run out of food, and without food, the army's spirit will be unstable, and the army's spirit will be unstable...... The soldiers will stew us in a cauldron and eat it! ”
Xie Shufang and Yu Wenhua gasped.
After all, what Li Yuanji said is the truth, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, if there is no food, no matter how well equipped the army is, there will be no morale, and there will be no morale, so how will this battle be fought at that time?
What's more, the Eastern Turks are eyeing each other, and it's not easy to deal with......
At this moment, Li Yuanji looked at Yu Wenhua and said, "Sir, the official warehouse should be about to bottom, right?" ”
"In less than ten days!" Yu Wenhua said: "The current parity grain in the official warehouse has risen to eighty yuan for doumi!" ”
Li Yuanji said: "It's not that there is no time when Guanzhong fights rice for 10,000 yuan, and when the time comes, the food will be ours, so we will sell it for 10,000 yuan a bucket, and we will starve to death if we don't eat!" ”
Yu Wenhua nodded and said, "Your Highness, rest assured, the old man knows what to do!" ”
……
Under the same sky, in the east side of the front yard of Chenjiabao.
Luo Shixin wore a mourning dress and toasted respectfully to Zhang Xutuo's spiritual seat.
Wei Zheng muttered: "Shi was buried in March, and he was crying in the month; The doctor was buried in March, and died in May and wept; The princes were buried in May, and wept in July. After the death of Mr. Zhang, he was buried in the barren mound, talking about mourning, and there was no stele for even the memorial. This is true of General Manager Zhang, the same is true of Duke Mi, and the same is true of King Xia......"
Wei Zheng let out a long sigh and drank the wine in his hand.
Luo Shixin drank wine, and his eyes became redder and redder.
Wei Zheng looked at Luo Shixin and thought of Zhang Xutuo, the boss who was also a father and a long-term boss, and was about to break out.
Luo Shixin looked at Wei Zheng angrily and shouted: "You get out, don't cry here and fake mercy." ”
Wei Zheng smiled bitterly: "The deceased is gone, and Shixin will be angry with Mi Gong?" General Zhang's matter, this matter is no wonder to Mi Gong, let alone Wei Zheng, General Manager Zhang committed suicide and died! ”
Luo Shixin's eyes were red, and he grabbed Wei Zheng's hand and shouted, "That's what you forced too!" ”
Wei Zheng hurriedly explained: "I have no personal grudges with Mr. Zhang, but the road is different, so I don't agree with him." ”
Luo Shixin suddenly raised his fist and was about to smash it in Wei Zheng's face.
At this moment, Luo Shixin found that his fist seemed to be clamped by an iron plier, and he could not move.
Luo Shixin turned around and found that he didn't know when, Qin Qiong appeared behind him and clamped his hand hard.
Luo Shixin roared: "Let go! ”
Qin Qiong said abruptly: "In front of Manager Zhang, you must not be presumptuous!" ”
Luo Shixin let go indignantly.
Chen Ying smiled at this time: "It's rare for old friends to get together, and if you don't get drunk tonight, you won't return." ”
Luo Shixin was drinking with Qin Qiong, Wei Zheng, and Chen Ying, but everyone had something on their minds. Unconsciously, the four jars of wine have bottomed out.
Qin Qiong suddenly picked up a wine jar and poured it with her head up.
Chen said, "Uncle Qin, you can't drink anymore!" ”
Qin Qiong ignored Chen Ying's bitter persuasion and continued to drink, the more he drank, the whiter his face became, as white as paper.
Wei Zheng stepped forward and raised his foot to kick Qin Qiong's wine jar to the ground.
"Uncle Qin, you're enough!"
Qin Qiong staggered to his feet and grabbed Wei Zheng.
There is no way, although Wei Zheng has a sharp mouth, his skills are not enough in front of Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong.
Chen hurriedly said: "Stop, there is something to say!" ”
Qin Qiong grabbed Wei Zheng's collar and asked, "Why?" Why are you doing this? ”
Wei Zheng roared, "Uncle Qin, I know you...... You are not convinced, do you think that if you are in Chang'an, you can win by abolishing the King of Qin? Let me tell you, Your Majesty today, is bent on ...... I want to wish for peace in the four seas and Chang'an in the world. ”
Qin Qiong roared: "Is King Qin worse than today? ”
Wei Zheng stood up excitedly, waved his sleeves and shouted, "Li Shimin thinks...... How to make a difference...... The imperial industry of Chaomai through the ages,...... Where the road goes, it is the opposite direction. Li Shimin...... No way...... Leave behind the selfish distractions in your heart...... He and Yang Guang...... It's exactly the same, everything he does, it's for himself, so ...... We can never be fellow travelers...... As the saying goes, different ways don't conspire with each other! ”
Qin Qiong sneered and said: "Now that Guanzhong is full of hunger, starving all over the wilderness, this prosperous world is as you wish?" ”
Luo Shixin suddenly got up and said: "Qin Shubao, what kind of ability are you to bully the master, if you have the ability, I will fight you!" ”
Qin Qiong left Wei Zheng and rushed to Luo Shixin and said: "Fight, fight, who is afraid of whom!" ”
Luo Shixin stepped forward and raised his fist, Qin Qiong turned around, picked up Luo Shixin's arm with his shoulder, and ordered Luo Shixin to the ground.
This fall was extremely heavy, and Luo Shixin didn't get up for a long time.
Luo Shixin struggled, shouting as he crawled, "Come again!" ”
Without waiting for Luo Shixin to get up, Ashina Simo rushed over and flew and kicked Qin Qiong's waist.
If Qin Qiong was under normal circumstances, his reaction would be extremely fast, and Ashina Simo would not be able to sneak attack him at all. The key is that Qin Qiong drank too much, and his reaction was half a beat slower.
As a result, he was kicked in the waist by Ashina Sima and fell to the ground.
Luo Shixin pushed Ashina Simo away and roared: "Don't worry about my business!" ”
Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong fought together, the two sides hardly used any tricks, it was completely a hooligan brawl, you punched, I kicked it, and the fight was vigorous.
Chen Ying smiled bitterly: "It's okay now, it's lively!" ”
Wei Zheng said: "It's okay, they are used to it, and they all have fire in their hearts,...... It's good to vent out! ”
Chen Ying nodded.
Wei Zheng said: "General Chen, let's rest first, tomorrow our battle will be more exciting!" ”
Chen Ying nodded.
Starting tomorrow, the price of grain in Guanzhong will dive, and the first batch of grain from Henan Prefecture, totaling 200,000 stones, will enter Guanzhong from Tongguan along the Chi Road.
When the time comes, those who sit on the farms will suffer heavy losses.
Chen Ying had calculated that the grain in the hands of the grain merchants in Guanzhong had exceeded 2.5 million stones, and it was even possible to approach the 3 million stone mark. The average price of these grains is 50 cents per bucket. It also means that they have paid nearly 1.5 million yuan in order to short Guanzhong Grain Market.
You must know that at the beginning, the Li Tang court traded with the Shandong Shizu Group and obtained 1.75 million yuan of property, and won half of the country.
The first batch of 200,000 stone grain entered the customs, they would not be vigilant, and they would even think that this was the reserve grain that Hongnong Yang helped Li Jiancheng to help Li Jiancheng in emergencies, and they would not allow Li Jiancheng to suppress grain prices, even if Chen Ying offered a price of 100 yuan a bucket, they would eat it with all their might.
Chen Ying left the front yard and went to the bedroom in the back yard. However, the scope of Chenjiabao is too large, and Chen Ying was blown by the wind, and the wine surged.
Entering the backyard, Chen Ying's consciousness began to be confused, and he didn't notice the eldest grandson standing next to him at all.
The eldest grandson Wujian was taken aback when he saw Chen Ying, and hurriedly lowered his head and bowed.
Chen Ying pressed his head and walked inside, untying his coat while shouting: "You don't see, the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky, and it flows to the sea and does not return." You don't see it, Gao Tang Mingjing is sad and white-haired, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk. Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon. I was born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone......"
The eldest grandson Wujian hesitated for a moment, and hurriedly caught up, wanting to help Chen Ying take off his coat.
Chen Ying entered the bedroom and threw off his coat directly.
The coat did not fall to the ground, and fell directly into the hands of the eldest grandson.
Chen Yingtou didn't reply, listening to the footsteps, and said with a guilty face: "Sanniang, I drank too much today, you can sleep first......
Then at this moment, Li Xiuning walked out of the bedroom, and the moment Chen Ying's eyes collided, Chen Ying's voice paused.
At this time, the eldest grandson Wujian was taking off Chen Ying's coat.
Chen Ying sensed that something was wrong, turned his head suddenly, and while looking at the eldest grandson Wuji, he subconsciously raised his hand and bumped into her.
The eldest grandson Wujian screamed and fell to the ground, and Chen Ying's coat was on her head.
Chen Ying frowned and roared: "What person? ”
Chen Ying saw the eldest grandson's innocent face clearly, and for a moment, he was shocked, and he hurriedly looked at Li Xiuning
Li Xiuning greeted him and said, "Chen Lang ......"
Before Li Xiuning could react to what was going on, Chen Ying had already rushed in front of her with an arrow step. grabbed Li Xiuning, nervously and carefully behind him, and then turned to the eldest grandson Wujian again, his eyes were sharp and fierce.
Chen Ying's voice was cold, and he said murderously: "How did you get in?" ”
The eldest grandson sat on the ground in horror, looking at Chen Ying and Li Xiuning with an ignorant expression.
Chen Ying's face changed slightly, and he shouted: "Come on, what do you want to do in the backyard?" ”
Li Xiuning came back to his senses, looked at Chen Ying holding his big hand, and said with tears and laughter for a while: "Chen Lang, she is ......!" ”
Before Li Xiuning could speak, Chen Ying was already annoyed, strode in front of the eldest grandson Wuji, picked her up, pinched her neck, and said fiercely: "I told you, I hate others forcing me the most, you are looking for death......"
The eldest grandson Wujian couldn't even scream, his face turned from white to blue in an instant, and he struggled dejectedly.
