Chapter 7 The concubine is willing to do anything for the general

Dongshan, Huiji County, Shengzhou, when it comes to Dongshan, people can't help but think of an idiom - Dongshan comeback. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Xie An, a famous man in the world, was jealous and excluded by villains in the court, and he was so angry that the emperor used him to belittle him for a moment. Xie An resigned in a fit of anger and came to Huiji Dongshan to live in seclusion, invited people to play chess, and settled quietly, Xie An set up Dongshan Academy and concentrated on cultivating his sons and nephews, among which Xie Xuan, Xie Daoyun and other children and nephews all studied here.

Later, Qin Fujian led an army of 850,000 to invade the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the court remembered Xie An and decided to reactivate him, so they sent people to Dongshan and named him the governor of the capital. The prime minister's belly is very important to be able to support the boat to save the country, Xie An did not shirk, he returned to the imperial court to transfer troops and send generals, rectify up and down, rewards and punishments are clear, and the officers and soldiers are single-minded, and they want to fight to the death with Fu Resolute.

Of course, everyone knows the rest of the matter, the Battle of Weishui broke out, Xie An was in the middle of the dispatch, his nephew Xie Xuan personally came to the front line to command, and his brother Xie Shi was responsible for commanding the water division, defeated the Qin army, and won the famous record of winning more with less in Chinese history.

Time has passed, Dongshan is still that Dongshan, but Chenjun Xie's family has long been yesterday's yellow flower, and the prosperity is not there.

It is undeniable that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, although the Xie family is no longer comparable to the Xie family of Wang Sima at that time, but the Xie family's heritage makes the Chen County Xie family still the leading family of Jiangzuo's wealthy family.

At this time, Xie Hui, the head of the Xie family, was the grandson of Chen Chaozhong's scholar, General Renwei, and Situ Zuochang Shi Xie Zhe. The son of Xie Bing, the Taishou of Guangling in the Sui Dynasty. Xie Huile is kind and benevolent, helping the township, and is very famous.

Compared with the four distinct seasons in Guanzhong, cold in winter and hot in summer, the weather in Shengzhou is comparable to paradise. There is no severe cold in winter and no heat in summer. The land is fertile, and crops can be harvested twice a year.

At this time, the Xie family's Dongshan Annex, the car is like a flowing water and a dragon, and a large number of carts loaded with rice and grain. When I came to the door, after the measurement of the measuring container, I would not enter the granary of the Xie Villa at all, but sailed along the official road towards the Huiji Wharf.

Xie Hong, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, looked at the white-haired Xie Hui with an anxious face and said: "Big brother, you can think clearly, the Xie family has become the public enemy of the Guanzhong clan and the Shandong clan, not to mention Chen Ying, even if it is Your Majesty, it is difficult to protect it!" ”

Guanzhong grain merchants do the game, in order to make huge profits. Now the Xie family is sending grain to Guanzhong, which is to cut off people's financial routes, just like killing their parents, and this hatred is not shared.

Xie Hui shook his head and said: "Erlang, don't say it, the old man has a son, and there is only one son in Ke'er (Xie Yingdeng)!" ”

"I see it as if I've come out!" Xie Hong said anxiously: "But, eldest brother, if you want to save Ke'er, let's Ke'er, we can think of other ways, besides, Ke'er did not directly participate in the case of abolishing the King of Qin's rebellion!" ”

"Although he didn't really participate, he was a general who abolished King Qin, and his career in this life is over!" Xie Hui said in an undoubted tone: "If you can solve this matter with a mere 300,000 yuan, is it a loss?" ”

Hearing this, Xie Hong was speechless.

Don't look at what Xie Hui said righteously, in fact, this transaction also has huge benefits, which makes him have to be moved.

After all, the grain in the south of the Yangtze River is as cheap as soil, although there is a rebellion by Fu Gongyou, but it only takes three months from the rebellion to the pacification, although the impact is there, but it is limited. The price of grain in Jiangnan is three or five dollars of rice, and it is not too much to describe it as cheap. Xie Hui bought 5 million stone rice grain at the price of 6 yuan of dou rice, 300,000 yuan, but when the 5 million stone grain was transported to Guanzhong, Chen Ying would buy all of it at the price of 10 yuan of dou rice.

If there is no Grand Canal built by Yang Guang, it is almost impossible for these rice grains to return to Chang'an, and it will take three months at the earliest, but now it is transported from the Grand Canal, which can save ninety percent of the loss, and the consumption on the road is less than one percent. In other words, five million stone grain enters Guanzhong, and about three and a half million stone can be consumed on the way.

However, it is about 10,000 guan, which means that the five million stone grain is in and out, Xie Hui has no loss, but has earned nearly 200,000 guan.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that they catch Chen Ying's line, which means entering the emperor's field of vision.

The survival of the clan gate lord is basically to engage in politics, and then shelter the servants to engage in business. The official is the umbrella of business, and the business is indispensable to make money and run the official road.

However, the Chen Jun Xie clan is now very embarrassed that Jiangnan is no longer the political center of the imperial court, although they Chen Ying Xie clan has more than 10,000 acres of fertile land, but the annual income is only more than 10,000 guan, although more than 10,000 guan is a lot, the key is that the children of the Xie clan are full of thousands, and this income cannot be maintained at all.

As the head of the Xie family of Chen County, Xie Hui has been relying on the shadow of his ancestors to gnaw on his old roots. He wanted to sell grain as a grain merchant, but because there was no grain sales market, he would be angry to transport grain into Guanzhong. The Xie clan of Chenjun is naturally not without grain sources and distribution centers, and the seventy-two counties of the eight counties of Xuyang are actually the sphere of influence of the eight major families of Jiangzuo.

The key is that this is no longer the period of the Southern Dynasties, there is no 500,000 troops of the imperial court, let alone millions of overseas Chinese people.

At this time, the seventy-two counties of the eight counties of Xuyang became pure grain production areas, and although there was a lot of grain here, it could not be shipped out for sale.

Anyway, the decline of the Chenjun Xie clan has become a fact. If we don't change, thirty or fifty years later, the inheritance left by these ancestors may not be preserved, and there is no worse outcome.

Xie Hui doesn't look at people old, but his heart is not old, so he decided to take a risk.

As early as two months ago, when the grain merchants in Guanzhong were secretly doing the game, Chen Ying had already discovered the clues. For people like Chen Ying, the law of the market has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow. There are only things that go against the laws of the market, and Chen Ying will definitely not ignore them.

Chen Ying secretly sent out an investigation, only to find out that someone in the Guanzhong grain market was doing a game, although he did not find out who was the mastermind behind the scenes, but after the Turkic movement. Chen Ying was shocked to find that what the mastermind behind the scenes was trying was definitely not as simple as profiteering from food.

Goguryeo frequently mobilized troops and horses in Liaodong, and the Eastern Turks infiltrated unscrupulously along the border of more than 2,000 miles from Hexi to Hebei, which made Chen Ying smell the smell of conspiracy in the air in Guanzhong.

However, when it comes to the big people behind the scenes, Chen Ying can't just tell Li Jiancheng based on his imagination, but at this time, Chen Ying decided to let them speculate and not get rice on credit.

At the beginning, in order to encourage the poor people to reclaim wasteland and buy land, Datang Tongli Qianzhuang issued loans to the people through poverty support loans, so that the people had money to buy farm tools, farming tools, ploughing cattle and seeds, where these farmers obtained profits, deducted the necessary rations, and used all the excess grain to repay debts, and the Henan branch alone received about 2 million stone of grain loan repayment.

If there is no food crisis in Guanzhong, Chen Ying will still have a headache for these grains, Datang Tongli Qianzhuang is not a Henan branch, there are also Hebei, Hedong and Bashu branches, except for the Western Regions branch, these Qianzhuang have harvested a total of about five million stone of grain.

Just to store these grains, Chen Ying built thousands of cellars in various places, and spent tens of thousands of yuan every year just to hire workers.

When the food crisis had not yet broken out, Chen Ying had actually begun to secretly transport grain towards Guanzhong, but he did not directly enter Guanzhong, most of the grain in Henan Mansion was concentrated in Taolin, Chen Ying's abandoned mining area under his name, and the grain in Hedong was concentrated in Longmen, only across the Yellow River from Guanzhong, and the grain in Bashu was as much as one million stones, but Chen Ying was not ready to use these grains, and was ready to make wine directly. He is ready to establish his own Luzhou Laojiao in Luzhou.

Chen Ying originally wanted to take advantage of the food crisis in Guanzhong to mobilize some people to migrate, but it was a pity that Wei Zheng rejected Chen Ying's proposal on the grounds that Guanzhong was the foundation of the world.

Chen Ying not only used Datang Tongli Qianzhuang to buy grain in Henan, but also bought grain in Hebei. The total amount of these grains is more than five million stones, plus the five million stones raised by Xie Hui in Jiangnan, a total of 10 million stones of grain, in fact, Chen Ying has calculated that to solve the food crisis in Guanzhong, eight million stones is enough.

Of course, some of it will be consumed on the way.

Chen Ying has to do the bureau, the biggest problem is that these grains are not a small amount, when from Hebei, Henan, Guanzhong, Bashu all over the transport to Guanzhong, it is easy to be discovered by the grain merchants in Guanzhong. Therefore, in order to hide people's eyes and ears and cross the sea, Chen Ying asked Li Jiancheng to order the Twelve Guards Army to be deployed, and all these grains were escorted by the army along the way.

As a result, although there will be records of large-scale shipments of ships or vehicles, it is impossible to find out what the real cause is.

In order to be on the safe side, Chen Ying adopted another trick.

Thousands of four-wheeled carriages marched along the official road of Tongguan to Guanzhong. A captain rode on a horse and shouted: "Guanzhong father, you are saved, Your Majesty has transferred grain from Henan Mansion to the customs!" ”

Hearing the news, all the people welcomed and looked forward to it.

As the saying goes, some people rejoice, and some people worry.

The grain merchants were shocked when they got the news. They hurriedly sent someone to pretend to be a transporter, approached the grain truck, and secretly checked the grain truck, only to find that these so-called grain trucks were actually only a layer of grain on the top, and all the sand and gravel below.

The grain merchant bigwigs laughed.

laughing Chen Ying deserves to be an outstanding general of the Tang Dynasty, and he has used the art of war to the extreme.

Chang'an City and the major official warehouses still produce grain at a low price, but the price of grain has risen by five cents a day.

In a luxurious carriage, the windows were closed, and suddenly a Yuan Suihu walked to the carriage and bowed down and said, "The head of the Qiqi meeting, there is a discovery!" ”

A hoarse voice came from the carriage: "Say! ”

Yuan Suihu bowed down and said: "Among the people who bought grain, they found the servants of the King of Huai'an, as well as the disciples of Liang Guogong. ”

An unscrupulous voice came from the carriage: "Chen Yingxiao'er is only left with this point, his left hand is in and his right hand is out, the old man wants to see how much money he can pay." ”

……

Chen Jiabao in Qinglin, Chang'an, Chen Ying is extremely busy these days, leaving early and returning late every day. When Chen Ying dragged his tired body back, he found that there was no one in the backyard.

Chen Ying shouted: "Someone! ”

After a while, an attendant bowed in: "What do you command?" ”

Chen Ying asked, "What about the princesses?" ”

The servant bowed down and replied: "Back to the horse, the Duchess of Yingguo called on all nobles and celebrities to hold a banquet in Chang'an, and the princess went to the Yingguo Mansion for a banquet, and it is estimated that she will not come back today!" ”

Chen Ying waved his hand.

The minions stepped back.

However, the servant had just arrived at the door, and came back in a circle.

Chen Ying raised his head and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The servant said cautiously, "Return to the horse...... Long...... The eldest grandson asks to see! ”

Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "Let her in!" ”

In fact, Chen Ying didn't need to see the eldest grandson to know what the purpose of the eldest grandson was to know what the purpose of the eldest grandson was innocent. She wanted to rescue Changsun Wuji.

It's just that this idea is too naïve.

Although more than three months have passed since the Xuanwumen Incident, the eldest grandson Wuji confessed too many unbelievable crimes in the prison of Dali Temple, under the interrogation of Dai Jia, the cold-faced king of Yama, including the killing of Dou Jiande, the gathering of the Hebei clan against the water, and Liu Shishan's three-month sweep of Hebei, and the Jianghuai army under Du Fuwei was forced to rebel, all of which have the shadow of the eldest grandson Wuji and Du Yan.

The key is that Du Yan and Changsun Wuji are both smart people, and they both know the seriousness of this fate, and in prison, the two of them blame each other and expose each other, including Yang Wengan's rebellion, all of which were exposed.

In fact, the two of them have not been punished, and they have basically shaken out the charges, but it is the eldest grandson Wuji who confessed that Du Yan was the mastermind, and Du Yan confessed that the eldest grandson Wuji was the mastermind.

Now these criminal evidence are basically verified, not to mention Chen Ying, even Li Jiancheng can't pardon the two, the two of them are too poisonous, so poisonous that the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, who dares to be ministers in the same palace with the two of them?

Sure enough, as Chen Ying expected.

The eldest grandson Wujian came into the small hall, with tears on his face, and knelt on the ground with a plop at Chen Ying: "General Chen, please raise your noble hand and save my brother!" ”

Chen Ying sighed and said, "Eldest Sun, please get up!" ”

The eldest grandson Wujian played a scoundrel for Chen Ying, and she choked up: "If the general doesn't agree to help, the concubine would rather kneel and die here!" ”

"If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place!" Chen Ying smiled bitterly and said, "What did Eldest Sun Wuji do, don't you really know?" ”

The eldest grandson was stunned for a moment, bowed his head and said, "The concubine body really doesn't know!" ”

Chen Ying said with emotion: "It doesn't matter if you know, or if you don't know, it doesn't matter, the eldest grandson is to blame, there are not 100,000 people who died in his hands, but also 80,000, if he doesn't die, how can those innocent souls be at peace?" ”

In fact, Chen Ying didn't want to let go of this eldest grandson Wuji and Du Yan, after all, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, had been fighting with Li Jiancheng for so long, and too many people had died, including Yang Wengan, Qiaogongshan, and countless officials and people in Hebei and Jianghuai.

The eldest grandson gritted his teeth, with a vague entanglement and struggle in his eyes: "General Chen, as long as you are willing to rescue your brother, the concubine is willing to do anything for the general!" ”

The eldest grandson Wujian particularly bit the word "anything".

Chen Ying said with a straight face when he heard this: "Eldest grandson, don't be like this, please go back!" ”

The eldest grandson Wujian said calmly: "General, Wujian has been dependent on his brother since he was a child, you can save Your Majesty to pardon Fang Xuanling, pardon Duan Zhixuan, or you can not pursue Du Keming's family, can't you open up to your brother?" ”

Looking at the appearance of the eldest grandson's innocent pear blossom with rain, Chu Chu was pitiful.

Chen Ying actually couldn't see a woman cry the most, and he almost agreed.

However, Chen Ying didn't want to embarrass Li Jiancheng.

After all, the East Palace was too hurt by the eldest grandson Wuji, and now the old ministers of the East Palace need a breakthrough to vent their grievances, and Wei Ting's most important duty now is to pursue Li Shimin. However, Li Shimin has already left the Central Plains and gone to the Fusang Continent, and Wei Ting is destined to fail.

It is only a matter of time before the eldest grandson Wuji is liquidated, although Chen Ying is sometimes a bodhisattva, but he will definitely not be a good person.

Chen Ying turned around and didn't look at the eldest grandson.

At this moment, the laughter of Li Xiuning and Li Daozhen faintly came from the front yard.

The eldest grandson Wujian got up suddenly, looked at Chen Ying and said, "General, I really don't want to come to the rescue!" ”

Chen Ying nodded and said, "It's not a wish, but it can't!" ”

The phoenix eyes of the eldest grandson Wujian flashing with essence suddenly half-narrowed, and the essence was completely collected. The small mouth led her cheeks to tremble, and the elongated eyes of the eyeliner floated with mist, and when the footsteps of Li Xiuning and Li Daozhen sounded, she pursed her lips, and the crystal tears fell down the line, and she whimpered: "General, don't ...... it."

Looking at this scene, Chen Yingzhou was dumbfounded.

The eldest grandson Wujian stretched out his hand to stroke his hair, and then untied his clothes, and Luo's skirt slipped half off in an instant.

The eldest grandson Wujian stretched out his hand and lifted the Luo skirt and ran towards the door.

Li Daozhen just heard the voice of the eldest grandson Wuji, and his heart was in a hurry, and he hurriedly rushed to the small hall.

I didn't think about it, but I saw the eldest grandson unclean, with unkempt hair and disheveled clothes, running outside.

Li Daozhen looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and couldn't move his steps for a while.

And Li Xiuning rushed into the small hall murderously, looked at Chen Ying and shouted: "Chen Lang, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!" ”

Chen Ying hurriedly explained: "Sanniang, you listen to my explanation, it's not as ...... as you imagined."

Chen Ying was secretly anxious in his heart, now it's really yellow mud smeared into the crotch of his pants, it's not but!
