Tang's dining table

Chapter 400 Living money, dead money

The guard of Daxing City is Yang Jing.

Instead of defending the city, he led his troops out of the city and fought fiercely with Yunchu's army for two hours before roaring away.

It wasn't that Yang Jing wanted to fight Yun Chu. The main reason was that he originally wanted to flee with a false shot, but the direction of his escape was in the same direction as Xiaomen Temple.

Yang Jing stubbornly wanted to run to the left, but Yun Chu insisted that he go to the right. Yang Jing refused, so Yun Chu had to use the army to stop him.

After Yun Chu's troops killed nearly half of Yang Jing's slave soldiers, Yang Jing had to run away to the right. He could see that he wanted to put on a show, but Yun Chu's side was really fighting. If he didn't leave, there would be danger. Worry for life.

After defeating Yang Jing's slave soldiers, the Goguryeo officials in Dahang City went out of the city and surrendered with their seals and household records and field records.

The city lord of Dahang City is called Gao Wen. He used to be the city lord of Wugu City. After Wugu City was captured by the Tang army, he came to Dahang City as the city lord. He only stayed in this position for less than two days.

Yun Chu would usually treat those who surrendered kindly and would not insult them. Most people would not be able to bear the humiliation after surrendering, and they might become filled with hatred and evil and cause some accidents.

Therefore, after arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, the host Yun Chu politely prepared pots of tea for Gawain.

After a series of dazzling displays of tea-making skills, Yun Chu, who took off his battle armor and wore a scribe's garb, showed off the splendor of the Tang Dynasty.

After pouring tea for Gao Wen with his own hands, he said: "Don't worry, sir. The rise or fall of a country is the general trend of the world. As long as some officials like us do our best, we will be clear in our hearts."

There are always many people in this country who can't become officials of Goguryeo. However, the official positions in the Tang Dynasty are still vacant.

We, the noble clan, should live on forever and never be cut off. "

Yun Chu raised his tea cup and invited Gao Wen to drink. Tears fell from his belly over a cup of tea, and he denounced Yuan Gaisuwen for all his faults. He even told Yun Chu confidently that if not for Yuan Gaisuwen, all the soldiers and horses of Daxing City would be destroyed. If he is transferred away, he will not surrender on the spot, but will fight to the end and coexist with Daxing City.

Yun Chu naturally sighed repeatedly, expressing his sympathy for Gawain's situation, and there was a hint of solicitation in his words.

Gawain was a man of dignity, so naturally he would not bow down immediately, so he tactfully expressed to Yun Chu that he wanted to live a life of leisure, farming and studying to inherit the family, which he had long wanted to do.

Yun Chu sternly rejected him, thinking that a talented and virtuous man like him could not be buried in the wilderness and decayed with the grass and trees. This was definitely a waste of natural resources.

Nowadays, Goguryeo is full of wars and mourning everywhere. Even if you don't think about the people, you should still think about future generations and seek eternal peace for the miserable people.

After Gawain finished drinking the tea, he insisted on asking Yunchu to find iron chains to tie him up and parade him through the streets.

Yunchu agreed to Gawain's request and let Wenrou give him full power to help Gawain and create for him the character of a loyal and martyr who was unyielding and unblinking in the face of the butcher's knife. Then this loyal and martyr who regarded his own life as nothing but trivial matters. Sir, I really can't stand the atrocities committed by the Tang army in Dahang City.

In desperation, for the sake of the people in Daxing City, he finally lowered his noble head.

Surrendering to the Tang Dynasty was a stain that would be difficult to wash away in this scribe's life. However, as long as Wen Wen and Gao Wen can arouse the emotions of the people, and Gao Wen's acting skills are on the line, as a Goguryeo official, he has stains, but , in terms of human nature, he is great...

The duck-green water rolls southward, the white crane cries high in the sky, the red sun bursts out from the Bohai Sea, the tides come and go, and Gao Wen's thoughts can always be written, and the glorious history can always understand Gao Wen's painstaking efforts...

Then, Yunchu got a relatively complete city!

In this city, the people are still living a normal life, the government is still operating normally, and merchants are still doing business as usual. However, there are a group of bad people on the streets who are obviously not Goguryeo people.

These unscrupulous people do not steal or rob, and they pay for their purchases and sales. They just have a lot of rules, and martial law will be enforced as soon as it gets dark.

Although after dawn, people in Dahang City would always find that some people were missing and some shops would be closed. However, after Gawain privately explained to some people who were tight-lipped, people knew that it was the man in front of him who was in Cao Ying. The former Goguryeo city lord, who had a heart for Han, secretly let some people out of the city and fled for their lives.

The people of Yunchu tribe did not go to the streets to burn, kill and loot, although they often did so in the past.

But this time, the general did not allow them to run out and harm the people.

At first, Zhang Donghai and Wang Defa were extremely dissatisfied. When they were led to a huge warehouse by Yun Chu, Wang Defa knelt down with a bang, smacked his mouth and apologized to the general, swearing to do so from now on. Never doubt any of the general's orders.

Wang Defa surrendered completely, but Zhang Donghai felt extremely terrified.

In his eyes, Yunchu at this time was just a huge hungry wolf with blood dripping from his mouth, lying on the edge of the sheepfold, looking down at the sheep in the huge sheepfold in Dahang City.

So after he returned to his residence, he picked up the pen, but could not put down a word on the paper for a long time.

He didn't know what to say, nor how to judge whether Yun Chu's behavior was right or wrong.

Especially when he discovered that Yunchu had begun to order military supplies from merchants here in the city of Goguryeo, which had a population of more than 20,000, to serve the Eastern Expedition army. The civilians at the port began to follow the government's instructions to order military supplies from the huge ships of the Tang Dynasty Navy. When unloading supplies from the boat.

He felt that his talents and learning were completely insufficient and he had no way to describe the scene in front of him.

If I had to name one thing, Zhang Donghai had the illusion that he was in the capital of the Tang Dynasty at this moment.

Yunchu also took the initiative to lower the taxes in Dahang City and lowered the commercial tax in Dahang City to one out of every ten taxes. It is said that this was in order to be in line with the national policy of the Tang Dynasty.

In the lobby of the city lord's mansion, Yunchu and Gawain were discussing how to develop Dahang City's trade and whether to accept Japanese pirate ships to sell stolen goods here.

Yun Chu said: "Daxing City is located at the mouth of the Yalu River. The sea breeze here is usually strong, which is not good for farming. Therefore, I think we should try our best to develop the seaport.

Nowadays, Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and Japan are not very stable. Let us not discuss whether this seaport belongs to the Tang Dynasty. We only need to tell everyone that the seaport of Dahangcheng welcomes all ships to come here to supply and do business. Dahang City doesn’t ask about the origin, it only asks about taxation. "

Gawain frowned and said, "As a result, Daxing City will definitely become a place of filth and evil in the near future."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "It's only limited to the port. Even if it becomes a place that hides filth and people and people, it will be an extremely wealthy place that hides filth and people."

Gawain nodded and said: "In this case, Daxing City will definitely be able to harvest a large amount of tax revenue in a short period of time."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "This is inevitable."

This is a very ordinary official office scene.

When Jin Yanjun came in, the government hall immediately became ambiguous. Gawain coughed and left voluntarily. From the beauty's big watery eyes, Gawain saw infinite resentment.

"How did you Tang people know about the secret existence of Xiaomen Temple?"

After Jin Yanjun came in, he was not polite at all. He poured himself a cup of tea from the teapot on Yunchu's desk and drank it in one gulp.

Perhaps because she drank too hastily, a line of water flowed from the corner of her mouth to her fair and slender neck, and then entered an unfathomable place.

Yunchu looked at Jin Yanxuan's pretty face and said, "Xiaomen Temple? This is the first time I've heard of it."

Jin Yanzhen said angrily: "You dare to say that you don't know Xiaomen Temple. If you don't know Xiaomen Temple, how could you force Yang Jing to go south?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "I really don't know. I originally let Yang Jing leave, but in the end, he chose the left.

You know who I am. If he goes to the left, I want him to go to the right. In short, I am just a slave. Why should I let him go as he pleases? "

"That's it for Yang Jing. It's his fault anyway. As a general, why don't you ask where your deputy Guo Daifeng is?"

Yun Chu spread his hands and pointed at Daxing City outside the door: "Do you think it is a good thing or a bad thing that there is one less person to compete with me? As for Guo Daifeng, he is also the chief general of the army, but he is not under my control. He is willing It’s his business to go there.”

Jin Yanzhen said sadly: "A quiet ancient temple was destroyed in a military disaster. So many eminent monks and great virtues were killed by a group of vulgar soldiers. Their blood flowed into rivers. Corpses were everywhere. Yun Chu, you are the same." Isn’t it heartbreaking to be a half-Buddhist?”

Yun Chu sighed softly and clapped his hands, and immediately a soldier came in. Yun Chu took out his seal of General Dingyuan and gave it to the soldier and said: "Go to Guo Daifeng and tell him not to kill wantonly. At the same time... At the same time...if there are still monks alive, bring them to Daxing City."

The soldier took the seal and was about to leave when he heard Jin Yanxuan say sadly: "Where is the Xiaomen Temple and where are the living eminent monks? Guo Daifeng took Hulang with him just for the sake of a little joy for the Buddha. The soldiers massacred Xiaomen Temple with blood, and now there are only broken walls and corpses scattered on the ground."

Yunchu sighed, poured another cup of tea for Jin Yanzhong and said, "The matter has come to an end. There is nothing we can do."

Jin Yanzhen said: "Withdraw Guo Daifeng's group of tiger and wolf soldiers, I will collect the bones of those eminent monks and great virtues."

At this time, Wen Wen hurriedly came in from outside. After whispering a few words in Yun Chu's ear, Yun Chu immediately looked at Jin Yanxuan angrily and said, "How dare you bully me like this."

The sadness and anger on Jin Yanzhen's face immediately disappeared, and instead he said with a smile: "You thought you were smart, but you turned out to be stupid, and you let Guo Daifeng get a big advantage."

Yun Chu suppressed his anger and said, "Since you knew in advance that there was a treasure hidden in Xiaomen Temple, why didn't you tell me? If you told me, those eminent monks and virtuous men would definitely live well."

Jin Yanjun laughed and said: "The scattered money in Xiaomen Temple belongs to me, and the heavy treasures in Xiaomen Temple belong to Guo Daifeng. You thought you were smart, but you only got an empty city. How do you feel at this time?"

Yun Chu was so angry that he cut the brush in his hand into two pieces with a loud noise and said to Wen Wen, "Go to Guo Daifeng. He can't take advantage of it all by himself."

Wen Wen sighed and said: "Guo Daifeng has sealed off the Xiaomen Temple Valley and no one is allowed to enter or exit."
