Tang's dining table

In the three provinces and six ministries of the Tang Dynasty, in the huge number of local government groups in the Tang Dynasty, and in the complex branches of the Tang Dynasty, each individual department was striving to compete for more power.

Therefore, rather than saying that this is Wen Rou setting a trap for Zuo Chun, it is better to say that this is the daily behavior of interactions between various departments.

The amount of copper obtained by melting a pound of five baht coins is different from that of melting a pound of Kaiyuan Tongbao.

Especially when the number of five-baht coins in the Sui Dynasty accounted for the majority of the 960,000 copper coins, the benefits that appeared out of thin air were as much as 170,000 coins, which was a very large amount of money.

If Zuo Chun is willing to risk the 170,000 guan, he will reach some tacit understanding with Wen Wen. If Zuo Chun is unwilling to share the power of Bai Qisi, he will refuse the benefits of the 170,000 guan.

There would be no loss for Daxing City by truthfully reporting the true amount of the money to the emperor.

A five-baht coin weighs thirteen kilograms, and a million five-baht coin weighs thirteen million kilograms. Although there are a lot of gold and silver jewelry among them, there are still ten million kilograms.

For people in the Tang Dynasty, such numbers were generally only used by the country, and individuals basically had no chance of such numbers.

For Yun Chu, ten million kilograms is only five million kilograms, or five thousand tons.

He worked hard to build a large reservoir like Dahang City to plunder the three countries of Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje. In the end, he only gained so little. He was actually very disappointed.

The person who contributed the most money to him was Gawain's in-laws, an official with the rank of Zhujia from the Kingdom of Baekje.

In Baekje, from the king on down, most civil servants were named after six animals. The ones taller than Pigga were Majia, Niuga, etc. Piga's official position was not that prominent, but he was a person who specialized in managing the treasury.

During the Battle of Huangshan, his brother was the guard of Huangshan City in Baekje Kingdom. Under attack by the allied forces of Tang Dynasty and Silla, this man refused to retreat and forced Silla General Jin Yushin to pay a lot of money. At a high price, he eventually died in battle with the remaining 5,000 Baiji soldiers in Huangshan.

From then on, this Zhujia hated Silla more than the Tang people. However, he was just an official guarding the treasury. Facing the wolf-like Tang army and the Silla people everywhere, he was ready to commit suicide. , and he was also prepared to let the Baekje treasures hidden by him not see the light of day.

At this time, he received a letter from his in-law Gao Wen. Gao Wen invited him to come to Dahang City and said that although the city had been occupied by the Tang Dynasty, he was the one who really spoke.

Therefore, Zhujia, who was desperate, seemed to have seen the hope of restoration, so he took all the money he could find and all the people he could find who were willing to work hard for Baekje's restoration. Before Pei Xingjian and Jin Yuxin arrived, We left Baekje by boat and went straight to Dahang Fortress.

Then, the news came out that this Ingar and their fleet sank on the sea, and the treasures of Baekje disappeared with them on the sea.

Every money in the warehouse has its origin.

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty could not ask about the origin of the money, but Baiqisi, who was the secret spy agency of the Tang Dynasty, had to ask.

As long as anything related to ill-gotten wealth is basically related to the demise of human life, when Zuo Chun saw this warehouse full of money, he knew that this warehouse was not only filled with money, but also countless The wronged soul.

After listening to the story that Yun Chu and Wen Wen told him, Zuo Chun sighed and said, "Look at your Daxing City, the sun is still shining brightly."

Yun Chu said: "The sun, moon, mountains and earth, rivers, lakes and seas will not change. As long as people's eyes are drawn to these eternal things, they will not notice the relative subtleties of these eternal things. If you don’t use these things, people will think that the world has not changed.”

Wen Wenwen said sadly on the side: "So, as a commoner, you should pay attention to three meals a day. As long as the three meals a day do not develop for the better, it means that the world is getting worse.

It would be foolish for them to ignore the changes in their three meals a day and daily wages and pay attention to the results of the Tang Dynasty's Eastern Expedition. "

Yun Chu looked at Wen Wen and said, "According to what you said, who should take care of such a big event as the Tang Dynasty's Eastern Expedition?"

Wen Wen said: "Those with big interests pay attention to big things because their big interests converge with the country's big interests."

Zuo Chun poured a cup of tea and sipped it slowly. He did not dare to be careless in the face of Yun Chu and Wen Rou.

He understood that the two young men in front of him were tigers that had just grown up in the zoo of Datang.

What this kind of tiger likes to do most is hunting. It hunts constantly, even if it is not hungry. The purpose is not to hunt, but to delineate its own hunting area.

Zuo Chun lived in that big cold warehouse and never left. From the moment he saw the money, these things became his responsibility.

After Yun Chu and Wen Wen were driven out of the warehouse by Zuo Chun, Wen Wen frowned and said, "He didn't even participate in our conversation. It seems like it's hard to shake this old guy."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Just try hard. He doesn't dare to participate in our topic. It may not be because of fear. If he can scare the leader of Baiqisi, the goal is already half achieved."

Gentle said: "What a pity about the 170,000 yuan."

Yun Chu asked doubtfully: "What do you want so much money for? What the Tang Dynasty lacks now is not money, but various materials. The emperor can use the money to buy various materials belonging to the government at will, and the government can use the money to go to the people. People buy things there, and finally the people use the money to pay taxes, forming a perfect ring shape.

What can we buy with 170,000 yuan?

Oh, you can buy more Silla maids, Goguryeo maids, and Baekje maids. You can't even buy 170,000 gu of cattle and horses at one time, let alone land, steel, grain, cloth, silk, medicinal materials, salt, etc. Something.

What can make people rich is never money, but materials. Without money, people can still live well and be very wealthy by bartering. Without materials, only money, people will starve to death. "

Wen Wen sighed and said: "So, you value the materials absorbed by Daxing City more than the money, right?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "As long as a huge amount of goods flow into Chang'an City, then Chang'an City will naturally be the richest place.

If there is nothing in the city of Chang'an, you will not be able to get rich in another 10,000 years.

Give money to the emperor, because he really needs to use money as an excuse to exchange goods. This is good for Chang'an, because the distribution center for goods is still Chang'an after all. "

Wen Rou's story about Yun Chu is still a bit ambiguous.

Until the two came to the city wall, they saw an endless stream of Goguryeo savages carrying goods. After paying half of the goods as entry fees, they hurried into the city, preparing to exchange their own goods with others for what they urgently needed. , Wenwen seems to understand part of it.

He said to Yun Chu: "Hei Te Changzhi did a great job."

Yun Chu nodded and said: "Next, we have to rely on time to continue to ferment word-of-mouth. Wait for people outside the city to regard going to the city to sell goods as an instinct, and wait for people in the city to go out of the city to buy goods from the savages and return to the city to sell goods to earn money. When price difference became a way to support a family, Dahang City was truly established in Liaodong.

Any transaction must form a closed loop in the end. This is the best and most lasting state.

If it cannot become a closed-loop state, then it is necessary to dig a deep enough depression to temporarily store the water, and let time and the increasing population slowly consume the water. "

This is the principle of political economics that Yun Chu has learned. It is still difficult for Wen Wen to understand. Fortunately, this guy is very smart. As long as he stays in Daxing City for a while, he can contact Daxing from this paragraph. The actual operation of the city, and then come up with a set of strange principles that belong to Wen Wen.

At the foot of Pyongyang City, Li Ji's 380,000-strong army was claimed to be 500,000. Together with Kim Yu-sin's 200,000-strong army, the siege of Pyongyang was already impregnable.

King Gozang has sent two envoys to express his willingness to surrender. He also said that it was because of Yeon Gaesomun, a traitor, that he was not allowed to surrender and wanted him to be buried for the sake of Goguryeo. Now, there are people everywhere in the city. There was nothing he could do about Yeon Gae So-moon's spy.

As long as the Tang army begins to attack the city, he will be ready to lead the Goguryeo royal family to rebel and kill the traitor Yuan Gaesumun.

After Xue Rengui saw this secret edict, he found it very difficult to understand. Yeon Gaesumun, a hero, was prepared to die to protect Goguryeo Zuo, but Gozo, the king, had already surrendered.

Xue Rengui, who considers himself a warrior, thinks this should not be the case!

I went to Li Ji several times, hoping to serve as a vanguard and strive for the honor of being the first to reach the top of Pyongyang City, but I was rejected by Li Ji time and time again.

Instead, he was sent to the junction with the Silla army and warned him over and over again that his military duty was not to attack Pyongyang, but to guard Jin Yuxin's army. Similarly, on the other side of the junction between Jin Yuxin's army and the Tang army, the leading general It's Pei Xingjian.

What Xue Rengui couldn't understand the most was that Guo Daifeng was the one responsible for the first wave of siege due to heat stroke.

It can be seen from this that the British hostility to the Silla people was far greater than the hostility to Goguryeo.

No one knows when Yinggong Li Ji will launch the final attack on Pyongyang, just like the sky is always cloudy, but it never rains.

The Goguryeo people in the city were struggling desperately, and from time to time they would send out teams of Goguryeo cavalry to launch raids against Datang or the Silla military stronghold.

Available day and night.

Faced with the harassment, the Tang army only repelled their attack and did not immediately organize an attack. On the contrary, the army slowly advanced towards Pyongyang City in a leisurely manner.

The garrison originally placed outside the city by the Goguryeo people had to slowly enter Pyongyang City.

The enemy was in despair, and the destruction of Goguryeo was already a definite reality. Xue Rengui didn't know what Ying Gong was still waiting for.

He didn't know that Yun Chu, who was far away in Daxing City, knew about it.
