Chapter 100 The wicked have their own wicked grinding

When the news of the capture of Gulang Town reached Liangzhou City, Li Yuanji was busy looking for the Liangzhou gentry to ask for money, food and people. To tell the truth, what Li Daozong, the governor of Liangzhou, left Li Yuanji with was a mess.

A large number of wounded soldiers, ruined cities everywhere. There is also a year's worth of grain that was robbed by the Turks last year, and now it is in ruins. If all this needed money, Li Yuanji didn't talk nonsense, and directly summoned the Liangzhou gentry to ask for money.

But the gentry have always been moths attached to the big tree of the imperial court to absorb nutrients, and if they want to contribute money and efforts, it is simply their lives.

If it is said that ordinary officials, even Li Daozong does not have the ability to pluck out the roots of these iron roosters in a word. Looking at the 10,000 yuan of money and food, Li Yuanji smiled coldly: "You guys are really generous, 10,000 yuan is really small...... Does this king want to kowtow to you and thank you? ”

"How dare you, how dare you!" Hu Menglong, the famous grain in Liangzhou, said with a wry smile: "His Royal Highness King Qi Mingjian, it's not that all of us here don't want to solve problems for His Royal Highness King Qi, it's really that our families have their own difficulties......"

Having said this, the gentry complained to Li Yuanji about their bitterness.

What estates were robbed by the Turks.

The cattle were killed and eaten by the Turks, and a large number of fields were left uncultivated, and so on.

Although Li Yuanji is a bastard, he is not a fool, he hugged his arms and sneered: "With your net worth, you can get one or two hundred thousand yuan in cash, right?" This king doesn't dare to ask for more, but I just ask you to take out one or two thousand yuan each, so that this king can raise forty or fifty thousand horses, you ...... You're sending Hanako! ”

Now everyone's face is not very good-looking, although we are just calling Hanako, but you can't say it, how embarrassed we are when you say it! Zhang Jingliang of the Zhang clan in Dunhuang laughed dryly and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi, it's not that we are stingy, it's really ......."

Li Rui of the Li family of Shangtai interrupted stiffly: "Brother Zhang, since people think that we have little money, then we just need to take this money and go back to live." ”

Li Rui looked at Li Yuanji proudly and said, "His Royal Highness King Qi, no matter what you think, there is only so much money, do you want to love it!" When you are a soldier and fight, it is a matter of course, and you have to take money to go into battle? It just doesn't make sense! What is such an army going to do? ”

There is a way, but the wicked have their own disgusting grinding. If you encounter such a situation, the general manager or assassin really has no way to take these powerful gentry, in terms of connections, they have a backstage in each household, even if they hit the customs division and hit Chang'an City, they will not be afraid.

Even though Li Yuanji is the respect of the prince, this is the court's always reasonable. They contributed 10,000 yuan and 50,000 stone of grain, which is really not less.

It's a pity that Li Yuanji doesn't eat this set at all.

Li Yuanji kicked the account book on the table to the ground, Li Yuanji pointed at the gentry and said, "Okay, don't be embarrassed...... you don't give face."

Li Rui was so angry that he trembled: "His Royal Highness King Qi, what do you mean by this!" ”

"It seems that you really don't know the king's style, so he will let you see!" Li Yuanji yelled outside the door: "Someone is coming......"

The gentry were taken aback.

As we all know, Li Yuanji is a bastard. They were really afraid that Li Yuanji would send troops to use force on them.

However, it is clear that they are overthinking.

Li Yuanji said with a smile: "This king doesn't want to waste his tongue on you, you guys are a group of stainless steel brand iron roosters, even if you talk about dry mouths, don't think about taking out a penny from your pocket!" ”

He kicked the account book at Li Rui's feet, stared at the old man, and said word by word: "This money, this king doesn't want it, you can keep it and buy a coffin!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed, and Li Rui said, "You...... What do you want? ”

Li Yuanji didn't use force, nor did he cut a few people to stand up, but said lightly to the attendants: "Go and clean up, this king will go back to Chang'an, aren't you cross?" Keep your temper and cross with the Tubo people, this king will go back to Chang'an, this Liangzhou, whoever the fuck wants it, whoever the fuck wants to keep it! ”

Speaking of which, everyone was shocked.

Li Yuanji's courage is boundless. Taiyuan is Li Yuan's land of Longxing, but Li Yuanji said that he would lose it, and Li Yuan only deposed Li Yuanji as an official for half a year. Liangzhou, for Li Yuan, is far less important than Taiyuan.

But the gentry of Taiyuan ended up, which is a lesson from the past. At that time, Taiyuan City was invaded into the city by the rebels under Liu Wuzhou's command, and they were killed, many families were ruined, and many female dependents were insulted by the rebels, as for the loss of family property, it was difficult to calculate at all!

Seeing that Li Yuanji was about to slip away now, the gentry panicked.

They are all wealthy families in Liangzhou City, mansions and shops with a lot of money and real estate, and there is no place to move if they want to. In that case, although you can run away, their losses will be great.

Everyone began to mumble on the side, and everyone deliberated for a long time. Sent a representative Li Rui to negotiate with Li Yuanji.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi, although 10,000 yuan and 50,000 stone grain are a bit small, but it is difficult for each of our families, so let's do it, each of our families will give 1,000 stone of grain, a total of 107,000 stones. 30,000 yuan. What do you think? ”

The gentry relented, but Li Yuanji was not happy: "Aren't all of your families in difficulty, keep all this money and food, and go back to live a good life!" ”

Saying that, Li Yuanji pretended to be leaving, and ordered the attendant: "Quick, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up, pack up your things, let's leave now......"

Li Rui discussed with the gentry again, and everyone increased again: "50,000 yuan, 100,000 stone grain, no more!" ”

"100,000 yuan, 200,000 stone grain!" Li Yuanji said coldly: "Don't think about sending Huazi, either break up in two, or take money, this king will never break his word, even if he dies in Liangzhou City, this king will never retreat!" ”

"Eighty thousand stones, 150,000 stones!"

"100,000 guan, 200,000 stone grain, either take the money to give the grain, or this king is now taking advantage of the fact that the Tubo people are not coming, and he will leave now!"

The gentry were very helpless.

Although there were more than a hundred people present, these families needed to take out more than 1,000 yuan on average, plus 2,000 stone of grain, which was also very painful.

But they were really afraid that Li Yuanji would pat his ass and leave.

When these gentry made an agreement with Li Yuanji, the gentry paid for the money and people, and handed it over to Li Yuanji to defend Liangzhou. Just when Li Yuanji was busy handing over the money and grain sent by the gentry, Li Yuanji received the news that Gulang Town had been conquered and the Tubo people were killing in Gulang Town.

Li Yuanji was terrified. Shivering, the ledger in his hand fell to the ground with a thud. After being stunned for a long time, he suddenly shouted: "Quick! Hurry up and inform the troops, let them send troops, and keep those Tubo people out of the country! If we let them into the country, we'll be finished! ”

A staff member wearing a black cloak and a mask said in a voice like an old duck: "Lord Wang, most of the soldiers and horses in our Liangzhou City are new soldiers, and there is no way to defend against the enemy's borders. ”

Li Yuanji was surprised, although he said very indifferently in front of everyone. He could retreat to Liangzhou at any time, but he really didn't dare to go. Because Liangzhou is Chen Ying's back road, once he leaves in Liangzhou without a fight, let alone how Li Yuan disposes of him, Li Xiuning will definitely not let him go. The pain of a meal of flesh and skin must be indispensable, if you don't get it right, in this life, Li Xiuning will not pay attention to him anymore.

Li Yuanji was a little flustered: "What now?" ”

The staff said, "Now we can only wait!" ”

"Wait?"

"Not bad!" The staff said with a wry smile: "Wait for the Tubo people to attack, wait for them to hit their heads under the city of Liangzhou and break their heads, and retreat without a fight......"

Li Yuanji was stunned for a long time before he breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's okay...... However, there are many people in Tubo, so we should not be able to stand it in Liangzhou City, right? No, this king has to report to Chang'an and ask his father to send troops to support ......"

At this time, suddenly a guard ran in in a panic and said, "Congratulations to His Royal Highness King Qi, congratulations to His Royal Highness King Qi!" ”

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Li Yuanji has just gotten 100,000 yuan and 200,000 stone grain. Although forming an army requires a lot of overhead. However, he is not Chen Ying, and he will not do everything to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers like Chen Ying. In Li Yuanji's opinion, he can at least withhold more than half of the 100,000 yuan.

But now the Tibetan army is pressing the border, and it is about to approach Liangzhou City. He couldn't bring the money back.

But the staff looked at the attendant and said, "What did you say?" ”

The attendant said: "The Tubo people have retreated!" ”

"How is this possible? When did the Tibetans become sexual? With their tens of thousands of troops, how could a small Gulang town satisfy their appetite! Li Yuanji grabbed the attendant's collar and shouted, "You dare to play this king? ”

"How dare you make such a joke!" The attendant begged for mercy again and again: "This is General Chen's report document, right here, please take a look at His Royal Highness King Qi!" ”

Li Yuanji shouted eagerly: "Hurry up, take it quickly!" ”

The attendant did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly presented the good news in his arms.

Li Yuanji snatched it over, browsed it at a glance and ten lines, and then turned around and read it line by line, unfinished, and read it again, this time it was word by word, and after reading it, he laughed loudly: "Good, good, good!" Sure enough, it was won! My third brother-in-law is good, he can be regarded as a bad breath for the lonely king! ”

Li Yuanji handed the report to the staff: "Yuwen ......"

Speaking of this, Li Yuanji suddenly realized something, and hurriedly changed his words: "Mr. Xu, take a look!" ”

The smile on Li Yuanji's face was very bright.

That Mr. Xu glanced at ten lines.

Almost half an hour later, Chen Ying defeated the Tubo army, beheaded more than 10,000 people, the rest of the Tubo army fled, and the news that Chen Ying led the army to chase the Tubo people spread all over Liangzhou.

When the gentry heard this, they were filled with remorse.

I knew that Chen Ying would come to Liangzhou, why did he give Li Yuanji 100,000 yuan and 200,000 stone grain!

Everyone thought about it and sent a representative to ask Li Yuanji. Is it possible to skip the remaining 100,000 stone of grain?

Li Yuanji said that how could the meat in his mouth be spit out.

200,000 stone of grain, not even one grain less.

Dare not hand it over to you to consider the consequences.

As the so-called wicked have their own wicked grinding, the Liangzhou gentry are at a loss, they are determined!

PS: There is one more time to wait, it may be late!
