Hearing Lu Yongzhi lightly say the figure of lending one million stones, Li Jing couldn't help but snort coldly. One million stone is not a decimal, according to the yield of one stone per mu, it needs the output of one million mu of land. Just to carry these grains, according to an ordinary ship of 1,000 stones, you will get a thousand ships. Even if you use Wanshi's super grain ships, you have to load a hundred.

Even if the grain is not as precious as it was in the previous two years, one million stone of grain is still a large amount of precious material. Li Jing himself is still buying grain, how could he know that lending grain to Gao Biao is a meat bun and beating a dog, and he still has to lend it to them.

"Shhh

Li Rang, Cui Zhiyuan and others also took a breath of cold air when they heard this, this Gao Yu is really a lion's mouth.

Is it true that the Zhenguo Army owes him the Zhenhai Navy? Even if Gao Biao has the name of a famous general and high prestige, he can't open such a mouth, and he really doesn't regard himself as an outsider.

In addition to the consumption of the people under his control, there are now more than 13 million stone of grain such as rice, corn, wheat and beans, plus more than 10 million stone of coarse grains such as potatoes and taro in the warehouse. In addition, there are many canned meat, fish, dried meat, dried fish, cattle, sheep, pigs, rabbits, chickens, ducks, geese, etc.

And then all these are the hard work of the people under the Zhenguo army, and they are the basis for maintaining the stable development of millions of people.

Li Jing donated one million yuan of money, food and materials to the Son of Heaven every month, which was worth the money.

But Gao Biao is not Li Jing's boss, he is just a town marshal with Li Jing's status. Even if Cui Yunqing, Cui Anqian, Yang Fuguang and others borrowed grain from Li Jing at the beginning, it was only a loan of 100,200,000 yuan. And there's a bunch of conditions attached to it.

Why did Gao Biao dare to ask for a million as soon as he opened his mouth. Do you still have to borrow?

Li Jing was angry but laughed. Looking at Lu Yongzhi: "I heard that Gao Situ has the technique of sprinkling beans into soldiers, isn't there a technique of turning stones into gold?" ”

Gao Biao is a good man, even when he was fighting in Xichuan, he used to open an altar and set up sacrifices before every battle, and he had to tie paper people and paper horses.

Lu Yongzhi was able to use deception to enter Gao Piao's account because of Gao Biao's good skills. Hearing Li Jing's sarcasm, he didn't have the slightest look of annoyance, and his face was arrogant. Ran replied proudly: "Just a few days ago, His Majesty the Son of Heaven has already given Gao Situ all the troops and horses in the camp and the Jianghuai salt and iron transport envoy to serve in the middle of the position. Gao Shizhong is mobilizing troops and horses, preparing to enter Fujian to exterminate the rebel party in one fell swoop. Therefore, the special agent came to borrow food for military expenses. ”

There was inevitably another burst of exclamation in the hall, Li Jing and the others had long expected that Gao Yu would become the commander of the capital in the future, but they didn't expect it to be so soon, and they also served as the Jianghuai salt and iron transport envoy, which can be described as a grasp of military power and financial power.

Li Jing heard another message from Lu Yongzhi's words. Lu Yongzhi came from Runzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, and it took more than half a month on the road. Coupled with the time spent waiting for him, it took nearly a month to leave Zhenhai. But now he hasn't received the news of Gao Biao's appointment as the commander of the capital, and Lu Yongzhi also said that he was only given the position by the Son of Heaven a few days ago. That means that this news was delivered by Gao Biao's fast horse, which means that the matter of borrowing grain was decided before Gao Biao was promoted to the capital.

Now Li Jing is also a little confused, whether the figure of borrowing one million stone grains is Gao Biao's meaning, or whether Lu Yongzhi added it on his own initiative after learning that Gao Biao was promoted.

With a flick of his sleeves, Li Jing got up and hung Lu Yongzhi directly in the hall, and left with everyone by himself.

Gao Biao's promotion to the position of capital means that Tian Lingzi, Lu Xi and others have achieved another round of victories against Zheng Zheng and Ximen Sigong in the court. There will definitely be a flurry of changes, and Li Jing needs to figure out the whole situation now.

That night, Gongsun Lan received the latest information from Chang'an.

After Cui Anqian, the envoy of the Zhongwu Festival, was removed from the post of the commander of the Zhongwu Festival, he was removed from the post of Zhongwu Festival Marshal and transferred to Chang'an to serve as the secretary of the ministry, which was obviously a move of promotion and secret surrender. At the same time, Cui Yunqing, the envoy of the Lingnan East Province, did not stay long in Guangzhou, and was also transferred again, transferred from the Lingnan East Road to the Jiangnan West Road, and the imperial court changed the Jiangnan West Road Observation Envoy to the Jiangxi Jiedu Envoy, and established the Zhennan Army, and Cui Yunqing served as the Zhennan Army Jie Du Envoy.

At the same time, the imperial court transferred Li Zhen to serve as the envoy of the Lingnan Dongdao Festival, and Xue Neng to serve as the envoy of the Zhongwu Festival, and the imperial court transferred the younger brother of the former Datong defense envoy Zhi Mo, and Si Nongqing Zhi was the envoy of the probation army.

A series of Jiedu envoy transfers, so that Li Jing is a little dazzled, this is not the end, the real two most powerful transfers, is that after the imperial court promoted the commander of the army and horses of all the provinces, he was transferred to the deputy ambassador of Huainan Jiedu, replacing the incompetent Liu Ye. The position of the original Zhenhai Jiedu envoy was transferred to Zhou Bao, a general from the right army of Shence, to take over the position of the Zhenhai Jiedu envoy.

However, it is somewhat surprising that Liu Ye was appointed as the Huainan Jiedu envoy in Huainan, and after Gao Biao took over, he was the deputy ambassador of Huainan Jiedu.

After this major adjustment, Gao Biao, the deputy ambassador of Huainan, Zhou Bao, the envoy of Zhenhai Jiedu, Cui Yunqing, the envoy of Zhennan Jiedu, Li Zhen, the envoy of Lingnan Dongdao, Xue Neng, and the probationary military Jiedu, made Zhi Zhi detailed, and the imperial court changed the marshal of the six towns at one time, and transferred Cui Anqian, the original envoy and commander of the Zhongwu Festival, to Chang'an to serve as the secretary of the ministry.

Among the six towns, Gao Biao, Zhou Bao, Li Zhen, Xue Neng, and Zhi Shen are all Tian Lingzi and Lu Xie's people, but Cui Yunqing is not.

Gao Biao sat in the position of Huainan Festival Marshal and the commander of all the soldiers and horses a year earlier than in history, and it seems that Gao Biao is about to enter his peak.

Zhou Bao, the new Zhenhai Festival envoy, is more than ten years older than Gao Yu, Zhou Bao's grandfather is the tooth general of the Pinglu Army, and his father served as the defense envoy of Tiande Xicheng. Later, he followed the Tianping Festival to make Yin Yu go to Tianping as a general, and when Wuzong was on duty, he was on duty. and Gao Biao are both officers of the Shence Right Army, and the two have a good relationship, and Gao Biao calls Zhou Gao his brother. Zhou Bao's ball skills are very good, in the army for a long time can not be promoted, so he asked Wuzong to be a player, in a game, Zhou Bao in front of Wuzong to hit the ball, one eye was blinded, did not get off the field, insisted on playing the game and won the victory, Tang Wuzong was very appreciative, promoted to General Jinwu. Later, he was promoted to the envoy of Jingyuan Jiedu, and when he was in office, he trained the army with the method of training ball, trained a fine, and accumulated 200,000 stone grain in the place, and was called a good general.

This time, he was transferred to Zhenhai Jiedu Envoy, and the two Gao Biao brothers, one in Jiangbei and the other in Jiangnan, occupied the richest Jianghuai land in the entire Tang Dynasty.

These two second-generation officials joined forces, if they came to trouble Li Jing, it would not be a good thing for Li Jing. Although Li Jing doesn't have to worry about what big moves they will make now, at least Li Jing's current business and trade can't avoid Jianghuai, whether it is the Yangtze River or the Huai River, or even the southeast coast, if Gao Biao wants to find trouble with Li Jing, intercept the caravan, etc., then Li Jing's loss will be great.

The next day, Li Jing saw Lu Yongzhi again.

"Since Gao Shizhong is to suppress thieves for the imperial court, a certain amount of grain should be transferred to Gao Shizhong. However, there is a certain condition, the grain can be borrowed, but the high attendants must hand over the captured captives to a certain person, the old and young women and children each exchange one stone of grain, the young women each exchange two stones, and the young men each can exchange three stones of grain. If it is exchanged by the whole family, you can also add an extra two stones of grain. We exchange as much as we want, and we get the food we need in the high-ranking servants, and we don't have to settle the displaced people, and we get the people we need, the best of both worlds. ”

After a night of thinking, Li Jing decided to make some concessions to Gao Piao. This is not to say that Li Jing is afraid of Gao Biao, but that Li Jing has a hard time with Gao Biao, and there is no benefit. As the saying goes, harmony is precious, if you just give Gao Biao some face and can maintain the current situation, Li Jing is still willing. After all, the Zhenguo army is all supported by commerce and trade, and half of this trade is for the Tang states and half for the outside world. Among them, whether it is internal or external, it is impossible to avoid the two towns of Huainan and Zhenhai in Jianghuai.

However, Li Jing underestimated Gao Piao's state of mind at this time, Gao Piao, as Li Jing expected, was not short of food. Even if he was really short of food, he would never come to Li Jing to borrow food. The so-called borrowing of grain is nothing but an excuse, and the real purpose is to find trouble and stir up trouble. Although Gao Biao was promoted to the commander of the capital, he is still worried about Li Jing's appointment as the king of the county.

Now that he has been promoted to the capital, and Zhou Bao has come to Zhenhai, plus the successive transfers of the towns such as Probation, Taining, Tianping, Lingnan, Zhongwu, and Xuanwu, they all belong to the front of Tian Lingzi and Lu Xian. With Tian Lingzi and others fanning the flames behind, Gao Biao naturally came to Li Jing's trouble immediately.

Lu Yongzhi saw Li Jing give in, and said with a smug smile: "No, the high servant borrowed one million stone grains, and there are no other additional conditions." However, if the county king needs the population, he can buy it from the high servants, and everyone knows that the county king of Ludao is wealthy. Old and young women and children are exchanged for 10 stone of grain each, young women are exchanged for 20 stone each, and young men are exchanged for 30 stone of grain each. If it is a family exchange, you can also add an additional twenty stone grain. That's a fair price, right? ”

Li Jing kindly took the initiative to take a step back, but he didn't want to be seen as a bully, Lu Yongzhi's meaning was obvious, and the one million stone grain seemed to be the protection fee to be paid. Later, the price of buying and selling people directly increased tenfold. It's not about doing business at all, it's a smashing of the field.

"Mr. Lu, there are 200,000 soldiers in the Zhenguo Army and 1,000 warships, do you think you can provoke us at will?" Li Jing said predictively, with anger in his tone.

Lu Yongzhi was a little numb by Li Jing's gaze, but he still insisted on holding his neck: "The 200,000 Zhenguo Army is true, but the county king has forgotten that the high servants are now the commanders of all provinces, and the towns in the southeast and even the towns in the Central Plains are all under his command. ”

Li Jing gritted his teeth, but retorted for a while.

In the face of a scoundrel like Gao Yu, could it be that Li Jing really wanted to send troops to attack him? But Gao Biao is not easy to deal with, not to mention his series of brilliant achievements, as well as Zhou Bao and other town troops.

What makes Li Jing jealous is that Li Jing has been trying to develop in a low-key manner, and now the war in Liaodong is not over, if he fights with Gao Yu and them at this time, if he doesn't get it right, Li Jing will become a rebel, and then he will really be attacked on all sides. That kind of result is not what Li Jing wants.

Throwing a rat bogey, Li Jing now really has the feeling that he has met a soldier in a show!

In the face of Gao Biao's provocation, Li Jing had to find a way to come up with a suitable plan, but now he was full of anger and couldn't think of how to settle Gao Biao. (To be continued......)
