Zong Xin persuaded: "Don't quarrel, okay? Let's talk about serious things." Of course, Dugu's own belongings can be taken away, and His Majesty has no opinion on this. My concubine Sister Xingyue alone has tens of thousands of taels of gold in private money, which is not a small amount. ”

Dugu Xingchen said embarrassedly: "Brother-in-law, I have to remind you that Xingyue's money has been spent by me and Xingye." Now there are no serious possessions in the Dugu Valve. Dugu Valve has no income at all this year, because these industries are all His Majesty's, and even if the grain is sold, His Majesty collects money, so we just spend it here, and we can't earn a penny. Even so, our pursuit of art cannot be disconnected, so we still have to compose poems, which is a waste of money, and Duguvalve still has so many people to eat, so it has long been spent. Now we are spending Aunt Feng's private money. ”

Zong Xin looked at Dugu Xingchen in surprise, this brother-in-law took his daughter-in-law's private money to drink flower wine...... And tens of thousands of taels of gold were all spent?

"With so much money, ten green buildings have been bought, and instead of spending money on entertainment you go to it yourself, you will make money. You spend all this money on flower wine?"

"How can I have such a good body? Anyway, all the expenses these days are all Xingyue's private money, but she is also to blame. Everyone knows where she put her private money, and we don't need to be too polite as a family, so we spent it all. ”

Zong Xin gritted his teeth and said: "It's okay, wealth goes to people's happiness." Your Majesty, I know that you have borrowed a lot of money from your father-in-law, which should be a lot of money, right? If not, how could Dugu Valve run out of money?"

"That's right, I did borrow a lot of money and food from Dugu Valve, but now that Dugu Valve is mine, can I pay back the money to myself?" Li Jing looked proud, because he had already calculated the accounts clearly, otherwise he would not have brought the two Shangshu of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry, they have been calculating Duguvalve's financial resources, so they have analyzed the ins and outs of the whole matter very properly to ensure that Li Jing will not suffer.

"Father-in-law, so Dugu Valve only has some grain left now?"

Dugu Huang nodded and said, "That's true, but there is a lot of grain in stock." If you make all of it, you should be able to make a lot of money. ”

"I really didn't know that Dugu Valve was already like this. Anyway, Dugu Valve is ready to start over. I'll pay you to buy new fields and grow food. Zong Xin said depressedly: "Your Majesty, I still have two conditions, if Your Majesty does not accept these two conditions, then this business cannot be discussed." ”

"Tell me about it. ”

Zong Xin said: "First, the price of grain must not rise during Your Majesty's lifetime. This is the ancestral training of Dugu Valve, if Your Majesty can't agree to this, your father-in-law will spend it with you to the end, and it will not be good for everyone at that time. ”

"Of course this is acceptable, and I didn't want to raise the price of food. Li Jing knew that Dugu Valve was already very profitable, and the price of food was originally very fixed, so there was not much room for it to rise. If the price of grain rises after Li Jing takes over Duguvale's business, I don't know how many people will scold him for being black-hearted, so Li Jing will not dare to raise the price.

Zong Xin said: "Second, Dugu Valve's current stock of grain is too much, and we can't take it away at all. Therefore, I hope that His Majesty will send troops to send these grains to the border of the Great Zhou, and someone will naturally take over at that time. Otherwise, if we do it ourselves, we don't know how many years it will take to move it. ”

Li Jing nodded and said, "This is not a problem, as long as this matter can be resolved peacefully, it is also appropriate to make a little effort." ”

Li Jing has no opinion on this at all, after all, he took over all the properties of the entire Dugu Valve without doing anything, which is the efforts of the Dugu Huang family for several generations, and this money can make his treasury very full, and he will not have to worry about the soldiers' salaries in the future. In fact, Li Jing is quite ashamed to take away all the family business of Dugu Valve, but he has no other way, after all, it is Dugu Huang who has to give it to himself, and it is the time when he is most short of money, this kind of good thing should not be in vain.

Zong Xin looked at Dugu Huang and asked, "Father-in-law, is there anything else you need to add?"

Dugu Huang said: "Next year, I will take away thirty percent of the grain produced here, only this once, and I will never ask Your Majesty for anything in the future." The entire Dugu Valve's own things belong to you, and the grass people also agree with this matter. In the future, Dugu Valve will never take revenge on the Li family for this matter. And the grass people have been the people of the Tang Dynasty all their lives, and they can be recruited at any time when His Majesty needs them, although our Dugu Valve has no power, but our Dugu Valve's martial arts are not bad, at least they can protect the safety of His Majesty the Emperor, and the grass people will not fight for Guo Wei or the Great Zhou. Of course, this is my oath when Dugu Huang was alive, and what the descendants of Dugu Valve do after my death is their business. ”

"It's done, there's no reason why I shouldn't agree to this. Li Jing said: "Brother Dugu, our two brothers have also been friends for so many years, this time...... It's kind of a flat shot, right? ”

"Hmm~ This is my own temporary wealth obsession, but fortunately there is a son-in-law who has come up with a way back for me, otherwise I would have to die in Duguvalve. Dugu Huang said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty is not at fault in this matter, the fault is all on the grass people alone." ”

Li Jing said embarrassedly: "A gamble has separated you and my brother from now on, in fact, I have been thinking about it recently, otherwise I will return the Dugu valve to you." But the national crisis is at hand, and the brothers have no choice, if there is no financial support from the Dugu Valve, I have only one choice, that is, to storm the Great Zhou, and at most it will be a fish to the death, and both sides will lose. How many soldiers will die in a foreign land? I will not do it unless I have to. ”

"Your Majesty also said that the national crisis is at the head, and if the property of the Dugu valve can make a little contribution to the Tang Dynasty, it can be regarded as the loyalty of the grass people to the country. What's more, this matter may not be goodbye, one day His Majesty will attack Kaifeng Bianliang City, you and I will still be monarchs. ”

Li Jing likes to listen to this kind of talk, and his lifelong pursuit is to unify the world and reproduce the prosperity of the early Tang Dynasty. Although Li Jing knew that the biggest trouble today was not the enemy's troops, but the private soldiers of his courtiers, this problem was the same all over the world.

"Yes! Li Jing said excitedly: "You have all made so many requests, it is time for me to make a request." Although I am a little ashamed to forcibly occupy all the properties of Dugu Valve, after all, this is what Brother Dugu lost to me, and I did not play any tricks, which is not despicable. Now that I am not allowed to raise the price, and I have to send these grains to Da Zhou, I am afraid that if I don't mention some conditions, I am afraid that it will not be reasonable, right? ”

Dugu Huang said depressedly: "Your Majesty, the grass people have promised not to fight for the Great Zhou, and Your Majesty can recruit the grass people to guard at any time, and the grass people have nothing to promise." ”

"It's not you. Li Jing turned his head to look at Zong Xin, and then said, "Master Zong Xin, can I make a request?"

"It can be mentioned that whether you want to abide by it or not, the poor monk does not dare to guarantee. ”

Li Jing said: "I don't need the master to abide by it, I just want to ask one question, and I just want Master Zongxin to answer honestly." Now my biggest obstacle is Guo Wei of the Great Zhou, you can calculate for me, whether I can defeat Guo Wei. ”

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Zong Xin smiled: "That father-in-law only has less than a year of longevity, and His Majesty does not have this opportunity." Unless His Majesty gathers a large army to attack the Great Zhou within a year, His Majesty will never have a chance to defeat him. If you directly ask Datang if he can defeat Da Zhou, I can't say it explicitly. ”

"Then I'll ask another question...... Who is longer in the national fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty or the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty?" Li Jing is also scheming, and he can't directly ask who loses and who wins, so he can only ask whose national fortune is longer, but in fact, the effect is almost the same.

Zong Xin chuckled and said, "Even if Your Majesty knows about this kind of thing, it won't do any good, but I can really tell Your Majesty, is Your Majesty really willing to listen?"

"Yes, yes. Li Jing wanted to know the result of himself, because he was getting older and older, and hoped to complete the great cause of reunification in his lifetime, although the process of struggle was the happiest, but Li Jing was already the emperor, he didn't need to struggle anymore, he wanted to know the final outcome.

"The national fortune of the Tang Dynasty is longer than that of the Great Zhou, there is no deception by the poor monks in this matter, after the death of the Great Zhou, the Tang Dynasty is still there, and it is still the emperor by His Majesty's heir. Zongxin's words frightened everyone, in fact, everyone thought that the Great Zhou had Zongxin's guardianship at least during Zongxin's lifetime, and it was impossible to lose the country, but they didn't expect the final result to be like this. The Great Zhou will lose the country, and the Tang Dynasty will still be there when the Great Zhou will die...... There are only two reasons, either because of the chaos and destruction of the country during the Great Zhou, or because of the defeat of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Jing was very excited at first, but then sighed helplessly and said, "According to what Master Zongxin said, when the Great Zhou Dynasty died...... I'm not an emperor anymore. Will I ever get a chance to see this?"

"Yes, although Your Majesty was not the emperor at that time, your life was not over. Zong Xin looked left and right, and then said: "But I hope this matter is best kept secret and not leaked half a word." ”

"No, not really. Li Jing's whole body trembled with excitement, although he didn't eliminate Da Zhou by himself, but Da Tang actually lasted longer than Da Zhou's national fortune...... That's a good thing, a great thing.

Now that Duguhuang has admitted this debt, then the entire Dugu valve is Li Jing's. After getting such good news again, Li Jing was so excited that he was almost speechless.

Zong Xin said: "Your Majesty, since you have asked a personal question, then it is time for me to ask a personal question." ”

"Master Zongxin, please ask casually, I must know everything, and I will say everything. ”

"Who is that master behind you? Sure enough, as the third prince said, his martial arts are not below my father-in-law, how can he be willing to be your bodyguard, and lose all his memory...... I really don't believe this. And by appearance, it's not mortal either. ”
