As long as he doesn't die, it's fine. Although Anxi is suffering a bit, and the winter is colder, he gritted his teeth and survived.

In fact, Chen Ying's ultimate goal is to carry out large-scale immigration.However, the local plot of Tang people is too serious, no matter how much temptation it is, they are unwilling to leave their hometown.

Regardless of the number of people entering Anxi, there are actually less than one in a hundred people who are willing to settle in Anxi's house.Just like the migrant workers of later generations who went to the city, as long as they earn money in their pockets, they will definitely return to the countryside.

Now it's all right, one hundred thousand clans and private soldiers, that is, one hundred thousand families, with a population of five to six million people, can move out of Guanzhong.Either way, it's earned.

Chen Ying ordered these soldiers to form a team of a hundred people, and a team of ten to form a town. Each town sent another regiment to escort them all to the Duobaoshan Copper Mine.Although a large number of war slaves in Anxi were almost all thrown into Duobao Mountain to dig copper mines, there is still a huge shortage of manpower. If these 100 households migrated there, more than [-] towns, large and small, could be densely populated outside Duobao Mountain, forming the complex of Duobao Mountain. Food self-sufficiency.

……

In the sky prison of Dali Temple, Li Anyan came to Wang Renbiao's cell again.

It happened that Wang Renbiao, who was covered in blood, woke up. With scarlet eyes, he looked at Li Anyan and gritted his teeth, cursing: "Hawk dog, kill or cut, you are welcome!"

Li Anyan said with an unabated smile on his face: "Have you asked everything clearly?"

The jailer next to him bowed and said, "General Qi, I have explained everything clearly. Especially this kid, he even confessed everything about bedwetting when he was a child."

Li Anyan said with a smile: "Since everything has been confessed, why are you pretending to be a tough guy?"

Wang Renbiao snorted, turned his head and ignored Li Anyan.

But Li Anyan went on to say: "The real tough guy, my general has seen it before. He is a real tough guy. He has never recognized love until his death. What are you!"

Li Anyan didn't talk nonsense to Wang Renbiao, he took the confession of the prisoner, turned and returned to Tai Chi Palace.

……

Li Jiancheng returned to the Taiji Palace and was about to go to bed. He never thought that Li Anyan would come, holding Wang Renbiao's confession, and seeing the familiar names one after another, Li Jiancheng's face twitched.

He looked up to the sky and roared: "Why...why, I treat them well, why do they treat them like this!"

At this time, a feeling of betrayal surged into Li Jiancheng's heart.

Especially Wen Daya.

Wen Daya is an old acquaintance of Li Jiancheng and has a good relationship.On the eve of Li Yuan's army, because of his father's death, Wen Daya, who returned to his hometown Ding You, was conscripted by Li Yuan to join the army as the secretary of the general's mansion, specializing in handling secrets.In the following year (618), Li Yuan established himself as emperor and appointed him as the servant of Huangmen.Deeply trusted by Li Yuan.

Li Yuan once said gratefully, "I am from Jinyang, and I am a disciple of Qing."

Li Shimin and his brother Li Jiancheng fought fiercely for the throne.Li Shimin suggested that Wen Daya go out of town in Luoyang, thinking that it should be outside.As Li Shimin's staunch henchman, Li Jiancheng ignored Wen Daya's previous suspicions and promoted him to be Minister of Rites and named Li Guogong.

Unexpectedly, Wen Daya went all out to join forces and spared no effort to overthrow Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng threw the directory in his hand in front of Li Anyan, and shouted: "Catch all these wolf-hearted beasts, and the three divisions will interrogate them!"

Li Anyan picked up the confession and said: "I obey the imperial edict!"

Then, the guards of the left guard of the brigade followed Li Anyan to the Taiji Palace and arrested people according to the list.

Li Jiancheng was really angry, and even the Zheng family in Xingyang ordered to search their home.

Perhaps because of Zheng Guanyin's consideration, Chen Ying's job of confiscating Zheng's family unexpectedly fell on Chen Ying.

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Chen Ying didn't care about taking a rest, so he gathered his troops and marched towards Xingyang.

Three thousand cavalry, very fast.

At dusk on the third day, we arrived in Xingyang.

Chen Ying didn't believe that the Zheng family would take the risk, and came to the Zheng family's ancestral house without meeting them all the way.

Three thousand soldiers and horses surrounded Zheng's mansion, and then rushed in to search the house.

……

Although Chen Ying's wealth is incomparable to the country, and his family property is in the millions, but seeing the treasury of the Zheng family in Xingyang, he was still surprised and speechless.

Gorgeous, exquisite and golden wine sets, silver melons weighing hundreds of catties each, copper pillars made of thousands of catties of brass, boxes of jewels... This place is simply wider than the national treasury!

It took Chen Ying a long time to recover from the dizziness. He stroked a giant silver melon and said with emotion: "It's hard to imagine that only the Zheng family of Xingyang has searched for so many treasures!"

A family member of the Zheng family asked blankly: "The Zheng family is so rich, why can't we let us have enough food and wear decent clothes?"

Chen Ying sighed, and he remembered a joke from later generations, the poor are cautiously generous, while the rich are open and stingy.

The Zheng family in Xingyang controls tens of millions of hectares of fertile land in Henan, and has tens of thousands of tenants, but they do not give back to the society.

In fact, China has been rich throughout the dynasties, but having money in China does not mean that the imperial court is rich.

For example, in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, any family of aristocratic clans could be as rich as an enemy.Just like during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, none of the four major families of Xi, Huan, Xie, and Liu who controlled the military power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty relied on the financial allocation of the court to support the army. They all relied on the power and money of the family.

Throughout the dynasties, wealthy businessmen, gentry and officials would rather melt money into silver melons than pay a little tax.The food in Ning Yuan's family was moldy and his money was rusted, and he was unwilling to donate to the country.

Chen Yong patted a silver winter melon vigorously, feeling dumbfounded.In the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was not short of money, especially after inheriting the huge inheritance of the Sui Dynasty, the Li Dynasty gained incalculable wealth. The seven sects and five wangs in Shandong casually took out 170 million guan, which is equivalent to 80 billion RMB in later generations.

Could it be that the Sui Dynasty was poor?

In the early days of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there were two defeats in which only 10 horses were lost. From the founding of the country to the ninth year of Wude, the loss of the army alone was no less than 50 horses.

However, the finances of the Tang Dynasty have always been red and purple.

Aristocratic families don't have to pay taxes, officials don't have to pay taxes, gentry don't have to pay taxes, and businessmen who have earned a lot of wealth don't have to pay taxes as long as they hang under the name of aristocratic families.

All taxes fell on the common people, and even this source of tax was robbed by many people from the imperial court, such as vassal kings, officials, and gentry.According to the law of martial arts, the nobles of the title are exempt from tax, so whenever a soldier is awarded a title of military merit, or becomes an official, many people will inevitably come to contribute their land, and the land under their name naturally does not need to pay. tax.The vassal kings and officials do not pay taxes either. Both of them are justified. Who dares to collect their taxes?As a result, the court's tax sources have dropped sharply, and it can only increase taxes desperately on fewer and fewer fields, and it is difficult to think of nothing.

So, where did this huge amount of money go?

Hid in the cellar.

There was no industry in the Tang Dynasty, and there were no such things as securities and stocks. Coupled with the old tradition of the Chinese people who are willing to save since ancient times, the money they earned was endless, so they naturally hid it in the cellar.For fear of being patronized by petty thieves, those rich families melted the silver into a silver melon weighing several hundred catties, which could not be moved by several big men, so naturally no one could steal it.

Then, the money disappears from the market and does not exist until the crisis strikes and the whole country panics, the money will flow out of the cellar and pour into the market to buy food, cloth and other daily necessities, causing prices to skyrocket , and ultimately accelerate the collapse of the entire country...

There is no way, a country will always have several times more money than supplies, and if all the money flows into the market to buy goods, it will become inevitable that prices will get out of control.

According to Chen Ying's incomplete statistics, the Zheng family's money in Xingyang is about 380 million guan. Once the money is put into the market, Datang's economic system will collapse.

Absolutely not allowing this much money to flow into the market. Thinking of this, Chen Ying looked at the soldiers around him and said, "The most important thing for us now is how to divide the dirt."

The first forty-five chapters of Wu Mosheng are still born

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Liu Rengui looked at Chen Ying in surprise, and asked in confusion, "Share the spoils?"

Since Liu Rengui followed Chen Ying for the past few years, he also knew Chen Ying well.Chen Ying is a person who regards money as dung, and never cares about how much money he has.
