Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

How could Li Jiancheng not know that the Eastern Turks sent envoys to Chang'an at this time, in fact, to find out the reality of the Tang Dynasty. At this time, there was famine and starvation in Guanzhong, and they couldn't hide it from the eyes of the Turks.

What's more, this mission is definitely not limited to these people on the surface, and I don't know how many secret agents will sneak into the Central Plains in secret.

Li Jiancheng sighed and said, "Let's go back to the palace to draw up a marching strategy!"

Chen Ying bowed and said: "Your Majesty knows how to fight. When it comes to the art of war, Your Majesty is not weaker than... Your Majesty."

Li Jiancheng stood up and interrupted Chen Ying's words: "The general is outside, and the emperor's order is not accepted! The general cannot be controlled by it, and the army cannot be controlled by it. This is the greatest art of war! I know, but we, the monarchs, must think about it." Proper way..."

Wei Zhengdao: "I have also gone through the battle. I don't want meritorious service, but I want no faults, so there will be no big troubles!"

"That means refusing to take responsibility, refusing to make decisions on the fly, and asking for instructions in everything...is it just letting His Majesty take the blame?" Of course, Chen Ying didn't say politely to Wei Zheng: "Is this how you act as the prime minister?"

Wei Zheng was speechless.

Li Jiancheng asked: "Then what do you say?"

Chen Ying sighed and said, "The plan can only be advanced!"

Now is the most critical time for the struggle between Chen Ying and the Guanzhong Grain Merchants Group, in fact, the Guanzhong Noble Group. The food battle has been fought until now, and the price of food has risen to a hundred dollars per meter.

Chen Ying transported grain into Guanzhong one after another from outside the customs, but the grain merchants in Guanzhong bought it by any means, and the grain merchant group's first loan of 150 million yuan was about to sue Xin.In fact, Chen Ying has not run out of grain in Henan Province, not to mention there are more than 800 million shi of grain on the way.

Under such circumstances, the Guanzhong Grain Merchant Group has already spent a large amount of money on grain, and it is preparing to buy grain at a price ten or even twenty times the usual grain price.

Now that the food war has been fought, in fact, both sides have barely sensed the other's strategy. This is like a national war. Putting aside the three axes in the front, the latter is to fight for national strength.

If Chen Ying did not continue to enter Guanzhong with new grain, Chen Ying would still have the final say on the price of the grain market.However, once the Guanzhong Grain Merchant Group explodes, they will either deal with the grain at a low price, and pay back as much as they can. Sold to Chen Ying.

However, the Turkic envoys entered the pass to inquire about the reality of the Tang Dynasty. Now the grain market in Guanzhong is like a volcano erupting, and the people are full of dissatisfaction. The most important thing is that the market is bleak, and the Turks will discover the reality and the truth of the Tang Dynasty.

Chen Ying sighed and said: "Two evils, the lesser of the two, right now we can only accept the good!"

Originally, Chen Ying had a great opportunity to reap more than half of the wealth accumulated by the Guanzhong noble group for hundreds of years.But in order to deal with the Turkic envoys, it had to end early.

Li Jiancheng nodded, sighed and said, "They really deserve their lives!"

Li Jiancheng also understands that if Chen Ying's plan is completely successful, at least two-thirds of the patriarchs of the Guanzhong noble group will be forced to step down because of their wrong decisions, and there will be a major earthquake in Guanzhong.

……

In Prince Qi's Mansion, when Li Yuanji woke up early one day, his forehead bulged and his eyelids twitched.

This made Li Yuanji feel a little suspicious. Under Li Yuanji's repeated questioning, Xie Shufang made a comprehensive guarantee, and Li Yuanji gave up.

Xie Shufang was about to leave when he suddenly remembered the news that the Turkic envoy had arrived, so he reported to Li Yuanji: "His Royal Highness, the Turkic Jieli Khan sent an envoy to enter the pass..."

When Li Yuanji heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "It seems that Xieli is also a coward, the shit has come to the bottom, and now he is still looking forward and backward!"

Xie Shufang laughed and said: "That's not because he was scared by General Chen. In the past three years, the Turks have never taken advantage of it. In the fourth year of Wude, the Turks could still gather 40 people who control strings. Now Now they have to gather 40 people who control strings, and I am afraid they will include women and children!"

Li Yuanji laughed out loud.

After a long time, Li Yuanji stopped laughing, and said solemnly: "Have you not found out the whereabouts of the second child?"

Xie Shufang shook his head and said: "No, he seems to have disappeared out of thin air. Bashu, Hedong, Hebei, even Liangzhou, Jiannan Road, and Lingnan have not found any trace of him!"

"This is so strange!" Li Yuanji mused, "Where did the second brother die?"

Xie Shufang bowed his head and remained silent.

At this moment, there was a roar like a beast.

Li Yuanji was taken aback, and quickly ran towards the backyard.

Xie Shufang followed closely behind.

When Li Yuanji came to Yu Wenhuaji's small courtyard, suddenly an inkstone flew out of the courtyard, and Xie Shufang hurriedly tried to stand in front of Li Yuanji.

Li Yuanji frowned and threw his fist away.

"boom……"

Li Yuanji shattered this fine inkstone with one punch.When Li Yuanji entered the small courtyard, he saw Yu Wenhua and his entourage with both hands holding his neck tightly.

Yu Wenhuaji roared with a ferocious face: "There is still 100 million shi of grain, why didn't you say it sooner? Didn't you say it sooner..."

It's just that the servant had stopped struggling, twitched, and was silent.

Li Yuanji walked up to Yu Wenhuaji, and forcefully opened Yu Wenhuaji's hand, while exerting force, he said, "Sir, he is already dead!"

As he said that, Li Yuanji ordered to the left and right: "Find him a coffin, bury him properly, and send a hundred coffins to his family!"

Li Yuanji supported Yu Wenhuaji to sit down and said, "Sir, what happened?"

"These wastes are all wastes." Yu Wenhuaji roared, "Child Chen Ying has secretly stockpiled 200 million shi of grain in Henan Province, and put it in Taolin County. I didn't find out until now..."

Li Yuanji turned pale with shock. At this time, two guards of the Changlin Army were carrying the body of Yuan's entourage strangled to death by Yu Wenhuaji, and slowly walked out.

Li Yuanji shouted at the two: "Stop!"

The two Changlin army guards looked at Li Yuanji inexplicably.

Li Yuanji roared: "There is no need to bury him, just chop him up and feed him to the dogs!"

The guards did not dare to neglect, so they had to carry out Li Yuanji's order.

Li Yuanji was in a state of chaos at this moment, but he knew exactly what the extra 100 million shi of grain would mean.

If all the 100 million shi went to the people, and if, like the end of Daye, the common people only ate one meal, or hung their lives with porridge, 100 million shi of grain would be enough to support 100 million people for half a year.Although six or two meters a day is not enough to eat, you will never starve to death.

The key is half a year, enough to discover too many things.Even if the snail crawls, grain from other grain-producing areas can be transported into Guanzhong.

In other words, this hoarding of food has completely failed.

Li Yuanji said in dismay: "Sir, what shall we do now?"

Yu Wenhuaji angrily suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Now we can only continue to buy!"

"But, we don't have much money left!" Li Yuanji said, "I'm afraid the other families are pretty much the same, right?"

Yu Wenhuaji turned around, and suddenly said with his hands behind his back: "His Royal Highness, didn't the court say that the people who migrated outside the pass will be compensated with ten pennies per household?"

Li Yuanji nodded and said: "That's right, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has such a regulation, sir, what do you mean..."

Yu Wenhuaji said with a wry smile: "All of them are tenants and tenants, let them exchange people for money!"

The relocation and resettlement fee is to prevent the people who migrate outside the customs from having no food and clothing. If the migration route is full of flesh and blood, this is not what Chen Ying wants to see.
