The three of them did not take the avenue but walked through the alley, obviously, the three of them were not familiar with the streets of the imperial capital, and they went in the wrong direction several times, constantly adjusting, so that Liu Han followed very hard, however, when the sky was white, the three of them finally walked to the south of the city, and turned up the second floor of a hotel from behind, Liu Han went around to the front of the hotel, and looked at the storefront, this store is called Yuelai Hotel, the store is not very big, there is only a two-story building, the first floor is also a restaurant, and only the second floor is accommodation. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Han stood opposite the hostel, pondered for a moment, and then turned around and left, this hostel looked very ordinary, but the three of them would never choose this hostel to stay casually, but this is not his problem, does this Yuelai Hotel have anything to do with the Brotherhood, and has nothing to do with him, this is the matter of the Great Jin Dynasty and Mu Gonggong.

However, this interruption, it is not appropriate to go to Feng Laiyi again, he thought about it and returned to Du Zhicao, and inspected the ya, but did not find anything, the officers and soldiers patrolling in the yamen are still very serious, maybe Liu Chuang sounded the alarm for the big guy a few days ago.

It didn't take long for the officials of Duzhicao to come to the ya, and Liu Han also came in with everyone, pretending to be just arriving, and several lower-level officials greeted him, these officials were very discerning, knowing that the king of Yanping County valued Liu Han, and Liu Han had a great future in the future.

The king of Yanping came relatively late, it was obvious that he came out of the palace, his face was a little bad, and after arriving at the ya, he called the officials in charge of debt collection to the public house, and the officials saw that the king of Yanping had a bad face, and they all held their breath and did not dare to speak.

"The emperor is asking again today, asking for the arrears to be recovered as soon as possible, how much silver can Du Zhicao take out now, you adults know in your hearts, the Hu people are provocative, and the imperial court can't even take out the salaries of the soldiers of the border army, but a large amount of silver has been lent out and cannot be recovered, what kind of system is this!

The king of Yanping seemed to have been angry with the emperor, paced back and forth in front, suddenly stopped, and turned his head to look at the officials: "The emperor has decreed that the recovery of the arrears is not three months, but forty days! Now, we will recover all the arrears within forty days!"

"Ah!" the officials looked at each other and exclaimed almost simultaneously.

Yan Zhi and Wang Xun looked at each other, and Yan Zhi whispered: "In three months, it was the imperial court that announced the world, but this suddenly changed, this is the dishonesty of the imperial court." ”

"You mean the emperor is untrustworthy?!" asked the king of Yanping County coldly.

Yan Zhi was silent and did not speak, and Wang Xun hurriedly said when he saw this: "The prince has misunderstood, Lord Yan means the imperial court..."

"This king knows what he means, but the emperor has already issued an order, and now it is not to discuss this matter, but to discuss how to implement it!"

"Alas!" Wang Xun sighed heavily, thought for a while and said, "That's it, isn't there still forty days, let's send an official letter to everyone first, and tell them that the time has changed." ”

"That's very good," Yan Zhi said, "and everyone has room to maneuver. ”

The king of Yanping County was silent for a while, and then nodded: "Okay, that's it! The letter to the princes of Xiaozhao, the king of Taiyuan, Ding Xuan, and Xue Yu, is written by this king himself, and all the official letters must be sent out today, so everyone, hurry up." ”

The officials dispersed, Yan Zhi and Wang Xun coordinated, and the king of Yanping County wrote several official letters, stamped them with official seals, and called Liu Han to send the official letters.

Liu Han took the official letter and was about to turn around and go out, when the king of Yanping County stopped him and asked him to hand over the official letter to his subordinates to handle, and then come back.

Liu Han handed the official letter to Cheng Jia, asked Cheng Jia to send someone to deliver it, and turned around and entered the room of the king of Yanping County.

The king of Yanping sat behind the desk, drinking tea silently, saw Liu Han come in, motioned for Liu Han to sit down, and then waved his hand to let his subordinates retreat, and only the two of them were left in the room in a blink of an eye.

"The prince is very annoyed. Liu Han took a sip of tea before he said with a smile.

The king of Yanping sighed softly, Liu Han also smiled, did not say any more, drank tea in silence, and after a while, the king of Yanping said unhappily: "This king is very annoying, alas, this debt collection, alas, it is really difficult." ”

"What's wrong?" Liu Han was a little puzzled, collecting debts is collecting debts, this is the work handed over by the emperor, and he should have thought of it when he took over this job.

"The day before yesterday, the lords of Shangshutai asked the emperor to allocate silver from Shaofu to compensate for the military salaries of the border army and the equipment of the Chang'an arsenal, but Ding Xuan actually said that Shaofu had no money, and the remaining hundreds of thousands were prepared for the first emperor Zigong to enter the mausoleum, hehe. ”

"Maybe Shaofu really doesn't have any money. Liu Han said tentatively, and the king of Yanping shook his head, leaned over and whispered, "Shaofu can come up with at least five million taels of silver." ”

"Ah!" Liu Han was very surprised, looked at the king of Yanping County in disbelief, the king of Yanping County nodded dullly, and then said: "Ding Xuan blocked Shangshutai for the emperor, and the emperor is bound to trust him more, but he still owes tens of thousands of taels of silver, I am worried that the emperor's attitude has changed." ”

Liu Han chuckled in his heart, and frowned slightly: "The emperor's attitude has changed?

The king of Yanping County sighed: "Ding Xuan is known as the richest man in the world, now many people are staring at him, if he pays back, others may follow, if he doesn't pay back, I'm afraid others won't pay it back, and at this time, the emperor trusts him again, I'm afraid this silver will be even more difficult to chase." ”

After hearing this, Liu Han couldn't help but shake his head: "The prince's words are wrong, the emperor's determination to collect debts will not change, and the prince doesn't need to worry." ”

"Oh!" The king of Yanping County looked up at him in surprise, and Liu Han nodded solemnly: "Prince, the debt collection is the emperor's edict, if you can't chase it back, the prince will be reprimanded, but the emperor's face is also gloomy; ”

The king of Yanping County thought about it, and finally nodded reassuringly, but then sighed worriedly, Liu Han understood after thinking about it a little, and he asked tentatively: "Does the prince feel that there are too many people who have offended?"

The king of Yanping hesitated slightly, and soon nodded, and Liu Han smiled strangely: "I will give the prince an idea, so that the prince can offend some people less." ”

"Oh, what's the idea?" said the king of Yanping, who was skeptical.

"Out of the flying sticker. Liu Han said.

"Flying stickers?!" The king of Yanping County was very puzzled, Liu Han said: "Yes, flying stickers, write the names of those who owe money and the amount of money owed on all the flying stickers, and then post them around, Tie Bei is to post them to Taixue and Guozijian, and there are also the gates of major academies, what will those doctors and scholars of Taixue Guozijian think of them, they will inevitably be angry, so they will cause strong pressure to force them to pay back." ”

"This way..... King Yanping pondered, and Liu Han added: "However, it's better to delay this matter for a few days, after all, our official letter has just come out, so let's delay it for a few days." ”

The king of Yanping was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "Try it, it's really not good, you can only ask for a copy of the house." ”

"Don't worry, let's salute first and then soldier, no one can blame us. Liu Han said with a smile.

"Alas, in the past few days, Yongzhou and Liangzhou, Lian Chu has been in a hurry, and the Saiwai Hu people have become more and more restless, but the court can't come up with the money, and there is still a month to go in the spring, and the emperor is in a hurry. King Yanping said.

During this time, Duzhi Cao became the center of the imperial court's subordinate purposes, and the officials in Cao were almost used as two people, checking the warehouses everywhere, flying all over the place, urging the spring to be put into the warehouse as soon as possible, and once the storage was set, it should be shipped as soon as possible.

"Lord Wang, don't worry, this mess is not caused by you, and it can't be blamed on you. Liu Han said for a long time, not at all worried.

"You!" The King of Yanping County sighed heavily, and Liu Han frowned and asked, "There are always estimates in various places, how much is the estimate?"

The king of Yanping County smiled bitterly, and sighed only after half a sound: "The emperor also asked today, I reported to him, judging from the summary of various places, this year's spring income is about less than three million taels of silver, and even if there is a discrepancy, it will never exceed three million." ”

"Three million," Liu Han didn't quite understand what this number meant.

"Let me tell you this, three million silver, it sounds like a lot, but the court has used it, and from now on, there are three million seven thousand taels, and I can barely press it to two million eight million, but if I go out to fight, what is this silver enough. ”

"How much silver does this battle cost?" asked Liu Han in confusion.

"10,000 people," the king of Yanping County raised a finger: "10,000 people, go out of the fortress to fight for ten days, consume three taels of silver every day, including the soldiers' salaries, food, horse feed, arrows, and people's expenses, all of which are in these three taels of silver, if you want to go out of the fortress to fight this time, you have to go out at least 50,000 people, which is 150,000 silver per day, you calculate, this amount of silver is enough." ”

Liu Han gasped, this hole was too bad.

"This war is to fight two points, money, food, without these supports, what to fight, lord, I see another way. Liu Han said.

"What is the way?" asked the king of Yanping rhetorically.

"If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be successful. Liu Han said casually: "It's a big deal to kill two of those protons, see if they are honest." ”

The King of Yanping couldn't help laughing, looked at Liu Han and shook his head: "This proton is so easy to kill." ”

"If the proton is not threatening, what do you want the proton to do. Liu Han didn't think so, he dealt with those Hu people in the Western Regions, most of the Hu people were very simple, but those Hu nobles were different, all of them were wild and untamable, and they were extremely arrogant, after being killed by him a few times, those Hu people were honest and didn't dare to swallow his goods.

The king of Yanping didn't speak, just looked at Liu Han, but he didn't think so, Liu Han still didn't understand military affairs, although he had the cultivation of a top-grade grandmaster, he was still a little worse in this regard.

Liu Han didn't speak, he felt that these officials in the DPRK and China were simply hypocritical, the military budget was insufficient, the new monarch had just succeeded to the throne, the people's hearts were unstable, the people were everywhere, and there were many domestic problems, but he wanted to send troops to the outside world, it was really an old birthday star hanging, looking for death!

However, the king of Yanping still took the suggestion of the flying sticker, and also adopted his suggestion to postpone it for a few days.

He just left Duzhicao, he saw one of Xue Yu's subordinates on the street corner, and when the subordinate saw him coming out, he immediately ran over and told him that Xue Yu was waiting for him in Baiyi Garden.

Liu Han was a little puzzled, what was Xue Mi looking for him to do at this time, but he was still very happy, Xue Mi did not directly go to the branch to find him, which means that this kid has also learned to be cautious.

Arrived at Baiyi Garden, half an hour had passed, Xue Mi was drinking tea in Sanniang's room, Sanniang was talking with him on the side, Xue Mi saw him coming, and stood up, still leaning crookedly, and greeted him with a smile.

"Brother, you hurriedly called me over, what's the matter?" Liu Han sat down, Sanniang poured him tea, and then casually made an excuse and went downstairs.

As soon as Qiu Sanniang's figure disappeared at the staircase, Xue Micai said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just to talk to you for tea and chat, I haven't seen you for many days, I miss you." ”

"Miss me?!" Liu Han couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he picked up the teacup and drank saliva, and then said: "Okay, there is something I inform you, I gave the king of Yanping County an idea to fly the paste, write the names and arrears of those debtors, and then paste them on the Taixue Guozijian, as well as the doors of the major academies, in addition to the brothel of the Qinglou, anyway, the whole city will post it to make these guys famous." ”

"Ahh
