I have a backstage in Datang

Yuan Gai Suwen's eyes flickered, and he continued to test: "We can give some money and purchase according to the cost price. How about making up for the difference in the price owed this time when Goguryeo becomes rich in the future?"

Zhao Laosi frowned, hesitating for a long time before speaking, and said: "The number can't be too much."

Yuan Gai Suwen nodded happily, and said with a laugh: "That's 100 million pieces of cotton cloth, plus 100 million cotton beds. This amount is not too much, and You Yun should be able to hold it."

Fourth Zhao took a deep breath again and said, "I hope so."

……

Yuan Gai Su Wen finally announced the end of the meeting.

Zhao Laosi was the first to leave, his face was livid.

The other officials yawned again and again, and each bid farewell to Yuan Gai Suwen. Soon, the entire meeting hall became deserted.

After everyone left, Yuan Gai Suwen suddenly sneered three times, walked slowly with his hands behind his back, and walked out of the hall to enjoy the night.

Suddenly there were footsteps in the distance, it turned out to be a few officials who had just left, these people carefully hid in the dark, and whispered: "General, will the Han people be suspicious? Our actions are too big, it is easy Intentions were seen."

Yuan Gai Suwen put his hands behind his back, looked up at the stars in the night sky, and said indifferently: "The Han people have never trusted us, so why are they suspicious. This is a clear conspiracy, and I am not afraid that the Han people will not agree."

He paused while speaking, and then continued: "There is an old saying among the Han people in the Central Plains that the cicadas are prophets before the autumn wind moves. Ever since Jin Xiaoxian started cholera, I have been aware of the crisis. This woman, relying on her status as the concubine of the Gu family, acted recklessly Some of them did evil in various places, and then several descendants of the Gu family suddenly traveled to Liaodong to study, and every day they can spread the good deeds of helping the people."

"On the one hand, the outsiders do evil, and on the other hand, the heirs do good. Gu Tianya's unique move is indeed an effective poisonous plan."

"If left unchecked, the Goguryeo people will have no future. When any common people are being oppressed, they suddenly find that someone can rescue them. Anger and panic are the easiest ways to breed gratitude, and as time goes by, countless anger And panic turned into gratitude. Goguryeo at that time will become Gu Tianya's real territory."

"So, we had to fight back."

Chapter 454 [It's actually Gu Tianya's trap]

There was a bright moon in the sky, illuminating the earth to turn white, but the bright moonlight fell on Yuan Gai Suwen's face, which made people feel a little ferocious and terrifying.

"From the beginning, I never planned to serve Gu Tianya..."

He slowly raised his hand, clenched it into a fist, and said, "I'm just relying on his strength to hold the entire Goguryeo in my hand."

……

"From the beginning, he didn't intend to serve me!"

Under the same moonlight, Gu Tianya breathed out leisurely.

Things in the world are really coincidences.

When Yuan Gai Suwen clenched his fists in Andong Duhu Mansion, Gu Tianya clenched his fists in the moonlight, even the two of them even said the same thing.

"I just use people like him to better control Goguryeo."

Not far from him, An Yanbing sat quietly on a big rock, and she seemed to be thinking about it, and said softly, "That means you have been acting."

Gu Tianya smiled slightly, and said: "Miss An, you should change the term, Yuan Gai Suwen and I are acting with each other."

"Why did you do this?" An Yanbing's eyes flickered in confusion.

"Because the land of Goguryeo is too large, it can become the foundation of a business for thousands of years."

Gu Tianya let out a breath again, slowly looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said: "The land of Goguryeo has a north-south border of two thousand miles, and an east-west border is slightly narrower, but it still has an area of ​​more than 1000 miles. And the population, according to official statistics, is 430. Ten thousand, but this number is definitely not accurate, and the official statistics of any country are not accurate."

He paused while talking, and then said, "For example, the servants of the big family, or the dependent peasants of the rich and powerful, many of them will not report their household registration in order to avoid taxes."

An Yanbing nodded, and said: "This situation is not limited to your Han people, but also to our Goguryeo people. The little girl once heard a saying that our Goguryeo actually has a population of 600 million."

Gu Tianya smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and gestured for a number, and said, "800 million, just a lot more."

An Yanbing was obviously a little shocked, and said, "There are so many?"

Gu Tianya ignored her shock and continued: "The territory of Goguryeo is almost as large as my Youyun Seven States, and its population of 800 million is more than double that of Youyun Seven States. Miss An Tell me, what does this mean?"

An Yanbing hesitated for a while, and asked tentatively, "Does this mean a solid foundation?"

"Yes, it is the solid foundation!"

Gu Tianya nodded, his tone gradually became serious, and said in a deep voice: "For a while now, many people have been persuading me, and even some people close to me are not without anxiety, thinking that I should not put too much energy on Goguryeo. In their view, I should develop the Youyun Zhuzhou well. As for Goguryeo, it only needs to be controlled by force.”

"They think that Youyun and Goguryeo should be divided into two steps, one master and one slave. Youyun states are the main states, and Goguryeo is the slave. They persuaded me to work hard to develop Youzhou, because that is where I started. As for Goguryeo, it is regarded as a region where blood can be drawn..."

"For example, Youyun is short of money, and they asked me to collect taxes from Goguryeo."

"For example, Youyun wanted resources, and they asked me to transfer them from Goguryeo."

"Goguryeo is responsible for planting grain, mining, collecting herbs, logging, in short, all resources should be transferred to You Yun as much as possible, and You Yun, as the master, can become more and more powerful through this blood-sucking method. Fat."

Gu Tianya's words made An Yan feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

The Goguryeo girl trembled and said with horror on her face: "If this is the case, Goguryeo will gradually die."

Gu Tianya smiled slightly and said, "But Youyun will become richer and richer, won't it?"

An Yanbing forced her lips together, and said in a frightened voice: "Drawing my blood from Goguryeo, the rich and remote states, although the little girl is sad, but I know this is a good strategy for the Han people, so, those people's suggestions Not wrong."

Gu Tianya nodded, and suddenly said: "However, I did not accept this suggestion."

An Yanbing was taken aback.

But seeing Gu Tianya looking up at the sky with his hands behind his back, looking at the stars like water, he said slowly, "On the contrary, I am drawing You Yun's blood to make up for Goguryeo."

He paused slightly while speaking, and then said: "For example, in the past six months, I have allocated millions of grains. As long as the Goguryeo people are willing to eat, I have always asked the officials to give porridge. For example, grain and cloth, farm tools and books, everything for people's livelihood I will do my best to allocate what I need here..."

"People close to me think that I was fooled by Yuan Gai Suwen, but few people know that this is actually my own voluntary choice."

"The reason is simple. I regard this land as my own territory."

"As for Yuan Gai Suwen's thoughts, I was able to see through them from the very beginning. Although I saw through, I didn't expose them. Instead, I followed the trend. Every time he sent out an application, I gave him an answer."

Gu Tianya said with a smile, looked at An Yanbing and asked, "Miss An, guess, why did I deliberately cooperate with Yuan Gai Suwen?"

An Yanbing was very smart, she answered after a little thought, and said softly, "Because his intentions are all under your control, and every time he requests for materials is in your favor, right?"

"Of course."

Gu Tianya laughed, suddenly changed the subject, and said leisurely: "Half a year ago, in the great battle, Yuan Gai Suwen, as the most powerful official in Goguryeo, led dozens of wealthy forces to rebel. Some of them opened the city and offered their families , and some acted as internal support, and even directly dispatched the armored soldiers to attack you Goguryeo people with swords and guns."

"It was precisely because of their betrayal and contribution that our Han people won that battle extremely quickly, like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and wiped out your entire Goguryeo army."

"However, the power of Yuan Gai Suwen's family has not declined in the slightest. The dozens of powerful families who followed him have also not been affected in the slightest. They even took the opportunity to grow bigger, and the power of the family has risen to a higher level."

"And after that battle, I appointed Yuan Gai Suwen as the governor, and each of the dozens of rich families also served as officials. Then I formulated the policy of Liao people governing Liao, encouraging them to choose Goguryeo talents wantonly... ...Actually, I have already expected that they would not be able to select talents, and all positions involving important departments would be occupied by their cronies."

"All of this, I have always let it go. I have never refused a single time, and all the official positions reported have been approved."

An Yanbing's eyes sparkled, as if she had thought of a possibility, she subconsciously said, "Are you conniving? No, you're fishing! Those official positions are the bait, and it's also the bait to sit and watch their family grow stronger, and you Taking advantage of the trend to approve Yuan Gai Suwen's application for material assistance, paying so much material is also a bait, isn't it?"

Gu Tianya nodded, and said: "People like Yuan Gai Suwen are out-and-out heroes. Since ancient times, heroes are the first to understand tolerance, and those dozens of wealthy Goguryeo families also do not lack the ability to endure. Seniors... how can this work? If they have been forbearing, wouldn't it be a hidden danger?"

An Yanbing took a light breath, and said: "But there are many smart people among these people, and Yuan Gai Suwen is said to be especially shrewd. Could it be that they can't see your intention?"

"Of course I can see it, but so what?"

Gu Tianya smiled slightly, and said: "When the benefits reach a certain level, greed will overwhelm people's shrewdness. Whether it's Yuan Gai Su Wen, or those Goguryeo powerful people, when I approve their invitations again and again, After allocating supplies again and again, and with the huge benefits invested, their vigilance has become self-confidence."

"For example, this time, they applied for the allocation of aid again. They asked for 500 million shi of grain, and my subordinate Zhao Si was angry and refuted it. Although he refuted 500 million, he agreed to 100 million. To them, Zhao Si's Concession is my concession..."

"In the past, they would be vigilant and act cautiously, but my repeated concessions convinced them that I valued Goguryeo too much."

"As a matter of fact, I really value Goguryeo. Therefore, both sides think this matter is reasonable."

Gu Tianya paused at this point, and said jokingly: "I can even guess that Yuan Gai Suwen will be proud of himself afterwards, maybe he will say: This is a conspiracy that Gu Tianya cannot object to."

An Yanbing's eyes sparkled, and she finally decided not to listen to riddles, and asked softly, "What is your ultimate intention? Do you want to catch them all?"

Unexpectedly, Gu Tianya did not admit it, but let out a sigh of relief.

He seemed to be reciting a set of data, and also seemed to be telling a big secret that had been pressed in his heart for a long time, and said slowly: "Half a year ago, the first aid was sent to Goguryeo, with 50 shi of grain and [-] carts of cloth and clothing." , Yuan Gai Su Wen led a large number of officials to personally distribute this batch of supplies... that batch of supplies all went to the people of Goguryeo."

An Yanbing knew that there was more to come, so she listened quietly without interrupting.

Sure enough, Gu Tianya went on to say: "Every month since then, Youyun has delivered supplies, such as the second batch five months ago, which was also 50 shi of grain, or the third batch four months ago , the number increased to 60 shi, and then the fourth batch, the fifth batch, and the sixth batch..."

"As time goes by, the amount of materials delivered is increasing, but the amount has increased, but fewer people have been distributed to the people of Goguryeo."

"Yuan Gai Suwen tentatively stole a small part when the second batch of supplies arrived. When the third batch arrived, they sneaked away even more."

"Gradually, they became more and more daring, and the amount of materials they applied for increased, but the amount sent out became smaller. And those materials that were secretly taken away continued to go to certain places."

"They're raising rebels!"

When Gu Tianya said this, a sneer finally appeared on his face, and he said word by word: "For half a year, I have paid a huge amount of supplies, wealth worth tens of millions, and it is enough to buy their lives."

The traitor should be killed.

unambiguous evidence.

But An Yanbing's face turned into shock, and she finally understood Gu Tianya's intentions. The Goguryeo girl took a deep breath, and it took her a long time to say, "So you really want to catch them all."

She paused while talking, and said pitifully: "There are so many tolerant people, and even the most powerful Yuangai family in Goguryeo, they personally handed over the evidence of the crime to you."

Gu Tianya exhaled slowly, and said lightly: "The Goguryeo affair has been delayed for half a year, and I don't want to continue acting with them. After killing these hidden dangers, this land truly belongs to me."

As he spoke, he looked at An Yanbing, his tone suddenly became sincere, and said: "Miss An, believe it or not, I will lead the people of Goguryeo to live a good life... Only people like me can make you live a good life .”

An Yanbing was silent for a moment, then nodded solemnly and said, "I believe it."

Chapter 455 [Enduring it for half a year, finally killing]

, I have a background in Datang

Half a month later, the seventh batch of supplies arrived in Goguryeo.

100 million shi of grain.

100 million bolts of cotton cloth.

In addition, there are all kinds of people's livelihood, plows, farm tools, pots and pans, and the most important thing is that this time, three hundred cars of refined salt were shipped.

Yuan Gai Suwen and others were ecstatic.

The officer in charge of the escort had a cold face.

After the official delivered the materials, he obviously couldn't suppress his anger, and said coldly: "In order to raise this batch of materials, the people of Youyun are saving money, Your Excellency Yuan Gai Suwen, I hope you can make good use of them for the people."

Yuan Gai Su Wen 'as if' was extremely moved, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he swore loudly, "If you dare to steal a single grain of rice, you will die in a knife attack."

After swearing, two drops of crocodile tears suddenly fell, and he pretended to be choked with sobs: "Gu Guozhu loves Goguryeo so much, Youyun Wuyuan Gai Suwen dares to die in loyalty?"

The escort officer also 'seemed' to be moved, and couldn't help nodding his head and said: "It's not in vain for us, You Yun, to be able to do this."

Yuan Gai Suwen took the opportunity to send out an invitation, saying: "Brother Tai escorted the supplies, and the whole journey can be described as sleeping in the open air. I intend to hold a banquet tonight, so that I can entertain you..."

However, the escort official shook his head and said solemnly: "The people in Youyun are still saving money, we don't have the heart to eat and drink. Let's skip the banquet and leave more food for the people!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't give Yuan any face for Su Wen, arched his hands slightly symbolically, and saluted: "Great Governor, I'm taking my farewell."

He turned his head and strode away.

The huge escort team turned around, and at the same time, the [-] troops in charge of the escort also left.

……

That night, dozens of Goguryeo wealthy families secretly gathered in Andong Governor's Mansion.

Everyone was very excited and began to divide up the supplies.

Since this is already the seventh time to divide up supplies, everyone's greed and courage have swelled to the extreme, and someone actually proposed to divide up [-]% and only use [-]% for relief.

This proposal made everyone more excited, and even Yuan Gai Suwen couldn't restrain his greed.

Eighty percent!

100 million deducted 80.

What a fortune.

Fortunately, there are still calm people in this group of people, who reminded them worriedly: "If you do something too outrageous, it will be easy to be noticed. If you really divide up [-]% of the supplies, I am worried that something big may happen..."

It's a pity that everyone in the other wealthy families sneered.

I saw a man with a sneer on his face, saying: "What big things can happen? It's nothing more than the government's persecution of the people. That's just right, our rebel forces can grow stronger."

The man frowned just now, and couldn't help but said: "Could it be that you haven't noticed that the escort officer this time is full of resentment, I'm thinking that it's not just him who has resentment, but the entire Youyun side has resentment. Even , Even Gu Tianya felt resentment in his heart."

"so what?"

All the Goguryeo wealthy families sneered again, and said: "The governor has already said that this is a majestic scheme. Since Gu Tianya wants to appease Goguryeo, then he has to follow our terms. If he doesn't give food, he will be killed immediately. A large number of people in Goguryeo starved to death. If he doesn’t give supplies, will Goguryeo restore people’s livelihood?”
