He Yi's current official position is the governor of Lingzhou, with a rank of five grades. This 10,000 Shuo Fang army is exactly what he commands.

Wupin Dudu, it is said that it is not small, but who is the score compared to. Now when it comes to war, Cui Geng ordered someone to behead him on the spot, and he had nowhere to reason.

Poof!

He Yi knelt down without hesitation and said, "Cui Xiang spares his life, Cui Xiang spares his life!" It's not like the general is deliberately delaying this matter, it's really out of control! ”

Cui Geng was slightly stunned and said, "My Tang Dynasty has strict military laws, how can you not control your subordinates?" ”

He Yi made a bitter face and said, "First of all, let's not take care of this matter." Originally, it was said that it would be changed every two years, but now that the day comes, people will not be allowed to leave, can the soldiers have no resentment in their hearts? ”

That's a problem.

The ordinary soldiers of the Tang Dynasty not only did not have military salaries, but also provided their own clothes, quilts, assets, goods, bows and arrows, saddle bridles, and weapons.

Of course, it is not a complete obligation, the basic logic is: the state allocates land to them, and they undertake military service.

Now it is the court that has violated the contract and used one money to do two jobs, and of course people are not happy.

Moreover, this matter involves not only the 50,000 people who need to be rotated this year, but also the other 50,000 government soldiers who should not be rotated.

Who knows if the imperial court will take this as an example and continue to be on duty at that time?

Now that most of the Shuofang army is unstable, it is no wonder that He Yi does not dare to suppress it.

Cui Geng softened his tone a little and said, "This matter is indeed a bit of a fault for the imperial court, is there anything else?" ”

"In addition, many of the government soldiers came from the Gyeonggi region this time, and many of their fathers and brothers served in the imperial court. This union, the lower officials really can't afford to provoke it. ”

"That's a real problem......

Cui Geng recalled the historical records, it seems that Zhang Ren also encountered a similar problem when he was willing to build a surrendered city, and in the end he cut off the heads of more than 200 Xianyang soldiers in a row before pressing the matter down.

Now that I think about it, it's not that simple.

First of all, it is said that Zhang Renyuan killed more than 200 people, not that a total of more than 200 people fled, this is Zhang Renyuan killing chickens and monkeys.

Secondly, the "Xianyang" soldiers were deliberately named, which means that the identity of these "chickens" is not ordinary, and the effect of using them to "set an example to monkeys" is particularly good.

Now the problem is here, what Zhang Ren is willing to do, Cui Geng can't do.

Zhang Ren wishes that his person can be described in an afterword: the stones in the pit are smelly and hard.

At the beginning, he was the prison army, and he resisted the Tibetans together with the famous Tang general Wang Xiaojie. Zhang Renyuan grasped a mistake of Wang Xiaojie and impeached him. As a result, Wang Xiaojie was demoted to a commoner, but Zhang Renyuan was promoted to the imperial history.

In all fairness, Wang Xiaojie is quite good in terms of ability and integrity. Zhang Renyuan can't get along with him, and his temperament can be seen.

Also, when Zhang Ren was willing to be the governor of Luo, he even killed all the thieves he caught. is so brutal that it is called "the face of the human and the heart of the bird".

It is not difficult to see that in order to achieve his goal, Zhang Renyuan no longer cares about his reputation at all.

But Cui Geng is different, and others call him "Cui Qingtian". The matter of forcibly leaving the soldiers was originally unreasonable, and if he ordered to kill more than 200 Xianyang soldiers, I am afraid that his nickname will have to be changed to "Cui Heitian".

Cui Geng pondered for a long time and said, "You send someone to arrest these people back first." In the end, how to deal with it, the official has his own reason. ”

"Yes."

He Yi agreed very well, but he was quite unimpressed in his heart.

The reason is very simple, no matter how great your ability Cui Geng is, the court has its own system. If you don't have funds, how do you pay these soldiers?

Take your own money and distribute it? Uh, are you trying to rebel?

As for arresting those fugitive government soldiers back, it is not very difficult.

He Yi scattered the cavalry, and within three days, he was captured nine times out of ten, and it was up to Cui Geng to deal with it.

At this time, another 20,000 town soldiers arrived, and there were about 30,000 Tang soldiers on the cloud pile.

Cui Geng temporarily erected a high platform and ordered the 30,000 troops to assemble under the high platform.

He dressed neatly, stepped onto the high platform, bowed slightly, and said: "This official is the Pingzhang matter under the Zhongshu Sect, Cui Geng, the general manager of the Shuofang Army." Today, this official will accompany everyone first. Why? Because, in order to seize the construction period of the surrender city, many brothers were delayed to return to their hometowns. These brothers, for example, are very angry......"

As he spoke, he pointed to the more than a thousand deserters. At this time, these people were all tied up in a variety of flowers, tied to temporary erection pillars.

The "......" soldiers didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Cui Geng's gourd, and they were silent.

Cui Geng continued: "Now, the official has sent someone to invite them back. The reason for this is that the military law is ruthless, and if you become a deserter, even if you return to your hometown, you will not escape death. ”

In fact, it is not that serious, and the grassroots organizations in these years are like that. After these people returned to their hometowns, they hid for a few years. The court granted an amnesty, and they were good men again. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people fleeing. Therefore, many government soldiers showed disapproving looks on their faces.

After a slight pause, Cui Geng said again: "There is a second reason, that is, the official doesn't want them to miss an opportunity to make a fortune. You don't know yet, do you? There is a righteous businessman surnamed Cui Mingxing, who is about to come to Fuyundui in the near future. He wanted to do business between the Turks and my Datang, but unfortunately he didn't have enough capital. So, I want to raise some money from everyone. The total number is one million, and the official is guaranteed, and the monthly profit is thirty percent! ”

30% monthly interest? Isn't it nearly quadrupling in a year?

The crowd couldn't believe their ears.

However, at the same time, everyone could hear that the so-called righteous businessman Cui Xingyunyun was Cui Geng's excuse to circumvent the regulations of the imperial court.

In other words, this million, nearly four times the interest a year, was paid by Cui Geng. He is rich and rivals the country, and he is the prime minister of the dynasty, so he can't talk or talk, right?

Someone hesitated: "The Turkic barbarians have a total population of just over one million, and it depends on whether they can earn three times a year each." Besides, the Turkic BMW is a good horse, and he refuses to sell it to our Datang. Then why did the righteous merchants expect to make three times from the Turks? If he uses his own money to subsidize us and others, I am afraid that he will not escape the suspicion of ill intentions! ”

Cui Geng smiled slightly, and said confidently: "This brother, but please rest assured, that righteous merchant is absolutely sure that he will earn three times of money from every Turkic and be rich." The official has inquired in detail about his plans, and I vouch for him in the name of the "Holy Hand of Gold"! ”

Song Genhai helped in the crowd: "What Cui Xiang said can still be false? Have you ever heard of the Jufenglong Silver Horn? Have you ever heard of Yangzhou rock candy? Have you ever heard of Yangzhou felt hats? Have you heard of Zizhou glass? What kind of business did not go through Cui Xiang's guidance? Earn 4 million a year, is that a problem? ”

"That's right!"

Someone saw the opportunity quickly, and immediately said loudly: "The villain believes in Cui Xiang and is willing to lend thirty yuan to that righteous businessman!" ”

"I'll borrow fifty!" Someone immediately followed.

"The last general is also a captain of the school, and he can't let others compare, so let's borrow a hundred!"

……

Borrowing one to repay four, what a cost-effective deal, the audience suddenly became a mess.

In the final analysis, at this time, the Juntian system had not been destroyed, and most of the soldiers were wealthy "good families", and most of them had the capital to "borrow money".

When people's voices gradually lowered, Cui Gengcai pressed down with his hands and said, "Everyone, the righteous businessman only borrowed a million yuan in total, and he didn't borrow more." In this way, in order not to hurt everyone's comradeship, this official has established a rule. Ordinary soldiers can borrow five pieces of money, and the captain can borrow five pieces of money and five hundred dollars......"

Generally speaking, Cui Geng's proposal is to sit in a row and eat fruits according to the size of the official rank.

This is the proper meaning of the question, and people have no opinion.

An ordinary soldier can pay back nearly twenty yuan of interest if he pays five yuan, which is quite a lot, and he will be rich and surplus as their military salary for a year. You know, this year, a healthy cow is only four dollars.

Moreover, the industry of the "righteous merchants" is in the surrendered city, if the surrendered city is not repaired, won't the money borrowed by himself be wasted?

Therefore, the enthusiasm of the Shuofang soldiers to build the city was particularly high, and the project was carried out very smoothly.

Cui Geng himself recruited skilled craftsmen from several nearby state capitals to conduct a trial production of a new thing in the Fuyun Temple.

Only by relying on this thing can Cui Geng achieve the goal of trading with the Turks and earning more than four million yuan.

On this day, Song Genhai asked with concern: "My lord, you are sad all day long, is it ...... It's not going well, is it? ”
