Chapter 403: What is a moth

Yan Zhou knew that Changqing was a high-level member of the Lijing Gate, and he was about to turn from dark to light and become a high-ranking official, and he was also very polite to him. @樂@ζ–‡@小@θ―΄Seeing that Cen Yue was a little wilted, Yan Zhou was overjoyed, urged him to step forward, hugged Chang Qing, and then asked, "Commander Chang, I don't know how many granaries there are in the Yang family?" ”

"I don't know very well about the cellar." Chang Qing replied, "There are two or three rows of granaries outside, about thirty or so, most of them are rammed earth, only a few, which look like new works, hastily built with wood." "What he burned down were those wooden granaries, and the grain in them should have been hastily purchased by the Yang family after they decided to start the incident.

If you say this, you don't say it.

As we all know, a truly stable granary is mostly built underground. For example, the granaries of Hanjia and Luokou in Luoyang are much larger than ordinary towns, and there are hundreds of small granaries in them. After digging a soil pit in each granary, the four walls were burned to dry out, and a lot of moisture-proof things were laid before the grain was stored.

Storing food underground is both hidden and safe, and it is not to be remembered or stolen, let alone the threat of fire. As for Hongnong Yang's obviously having enough conditions, why did he still build a granary on the ground, Chang Qing couldn't understand it, but Yan Zhou was clear, and couldn't help laughing: "That's it, the family has a lot of quirks, not to mention that the grain stored underground is not fresh enough, and there is a smell of earth, so it is generally not eaten." ”

When Chang Qing heard this, he couldn't help but sneer: "It's really poor." "How many people are so poor that they can't even eat, and they sell themselves as slaves for a bite to eat, the family is good, this one picks and that one picks up.

He no longer has any feelings of different lives with others, the son of the family, he has also killed a lot, whether it is bones or lives, he has not seen a few harder than the people.

But soon, he realized the meaning of Yan Zhou's words, and couldn't help frowning: "You mean, the grain stored by Hongnong Yang's family is simply not enough to eat for ten years?" ”

"The argument that ten years is a captive may not be credible, but five or six years will definitely exist, if the family is not extravagant and wasteful." Yan Zhou said with a smile, "The food consumed by one person and one meal in the family is enough to be worth the rations of dozens of big men for three days, only more, not less." ”

At this point, he has seen the extravagance of the Yang family, a dish is matched with a dozen or even hundreds of chickens and ducks, and he has the absolute right to speak on twenty or thirty kinds of dim sum alone. After all, his mother is the daughter of the Yang family, and she is Yang Yan's cousin in terms of generation. Because of this relationship, he was also entertained by the Yang family once or twice, although it was only a side hospital, but it also opened his eyes. Of course, at that time, he was ashamed of himself, he didn't know where to put his hands, and he longed for the wealth and bearing of the Anointing Family, even if he was ridiculed as "a third-rate family is no different from a poor family", he didn't dare to fight back, but he was so ashamed that he couldn't raise his head.

Over the years, he has never forgotten the arrogance of the Yang family, and the humiliation brought to him by the Yang family, and now he ...... Hehe, the heroic Hongnong Yang family is just the meat of the sword.

Chang Qing heard Yan Zhou say this, and felt even more ridiculous: "The soldiers are in the city, and they still pay attention to these?" ”

"The family has always been like this." Yan Zhou said meaningfully, "Even in the time of war, they didn't put down this pomp, who let those rough meals be swallowed by the nobles?" "Even if the food of the slaves and servants is shortened, the pomp of the nobles will not be reduced too much.

Compared with the satisfaction of material, what kind of temperament and style have to be thrown aside. The Caotou Emperor is not counted, in the last years of the previous dynasty, when the heroes were competing for deer, people with a little "imperial atmosphere" entered Hongnong County, aren't they all the "Ming Lords" of the Yang family?

Chang Qing only felt unbelievable, and when he heard Yan Zhou be so categorical, he nodded and didn't say anything more. He walked to a secluded place, took a deep breath, and suddenly understood Qin Wan's thoughts.

Why brackets? There is nothing wrong with those who have left their homeland, if it is not impossible to get by, who will leave their homeland and go into exile, not knowing where the future lies, and even have to be slaves and maids, and their lives are not up to them? It's the big ones who oppress them, such as this seemingly glamorous, but actually very dirty family. However, such families, nobles, and squires are also important forces in building empires, and once they confront them, it is very likely that they will not be able to keep their positions.

In order to keep the dragon chair, generations of emperors have compromised with the family, just like the previous dynasty. In the end, the people were not able to make a living, and within a hundred years, all kinds of uprisings emerged one after another, and the Hu people and barbarians could humiliate the Central Plains. At the end, a fire burned the former dynasty cleanly, but now......

Such a story really cannot be repeated, even if it is inevitable, it is necessary to buy more comfortable time for the people.

Only those who think of the people can be regarded as the true master. If you don't care about the people and only care about the imperial power, even if you balance the court and grasp the power firmly, it is just a clay wooden tire hollowed out by moths.

It's a pity that there is nothing to be done about them for the time being.

No, it should be said that people climb up in order to live better. There is no family, there is a big family, and when you are rich, you have to enjoy yourself, which is human nature. For generations, there is no way to avoid it.

Chang Qing thought that Qin Wan told him that when he returned from Hongnong, he would be able to directly enter the East Palace and become a general, and hand over to him the heavy responsibility of defending the East Palace and even defending the Imperial City in the future, so he couldn't help but take a deep breath and understand Qin Wan's trust in him.

This road is destined to have too many enemies, how can you not be vigilant?

Thinking of this, Chang Qing stomped his feet, made up his mind, and decided to hand over a secret letter to Qin Wan, asking Qin Wan for a will, only the first offender will be punished, and the thief can be relieved of the crime. In this way, there will be chaos within the Yang family, if you are lucky...... Chang Qing estimated that the saint was afraid that it would be difficult for him to get better this time, so he had to hurry back and subdue those soldiers to prevent some people from taking advantage of this incident to make changes. After all, in Qin Wan's hands, there are not too many talents that can be reused.

There is no way, Hongnong Yang's treason and rebellion, except for the imperial court, no one dares to say who to pardon and who not to pardon. Even when the sergeants shouted to reclaim the county seat, they only said that they would not pursue your rebellion. Rao is like this, or Cao Rui, Cen Yue, Tuoba Li and others jointly agreed, in fact, it can't be ten percent of the ticket, on the contrary, they also have a lot to do.

I also know that in such a big matter, there will definitely be people who are eager to become famous and profitable, especially those who look down on the military generals, for them, there is nothing easier to climb up than the generals who participated in the rebellion with great difficulty, such as "not being subordinate and shielding".

Before he could write a letter, Qin Wan's secret order had already arrived, and it was written very clearly, the first evil is unforgivable, and if the thief surrenders, the punishment can be commuted. If you can kill the first evil and rebel, you will be considered guilty.

No matter what you do, you have to leave a way for people to live, don't you? If it's all a dead end, the other party may fight hard, and only by giving them a glimmer of life will they desperately lean over!

In the final analysis, Qin Wan wanted to find an excuse to deter the family, and to use this to enclose the family, not to force the family to a dead end. Hongnong Yang's family, a great family, once the whole family is destroyed, it will definitely shake the world, and it will also make countless family rabbits die and cry sadly, and they will be vigilant and rebellious to the court. Because of this, Qin Wan only said "Redeem the merit for the crime", but did not mention the fact that if the slave and maid killed the master, they could be exempted from responsibility.

In order to survive, the Yang family changed the patriarch, which was an internal matter of their family. If the imperial court connived at the slaves and maids to rebel against the master, it would undoubtedly shake the social order, and even if it was a shortcut, it was not advisable.

After receiving the secret order, Chang Qing went to Cao Rui, Tuobali, Cen Yue, Yan Zhou and others, and read the secret order to them as the prince's order.

With the crown prince's order in hand, everyone immediately cheered up, Cao Rui personally went into battle and wrote a letter of persuasion with emotion, showing the generosity and strength of the imperial court to the fullest, and deliberately emphasizing that rebellion can be reversed. He immediately found dozens of scribes and scribes, copied them overnight, and copied hundreds of copies of this letter of persuasion, all tied to bows and arrows. The soldiers were ordered to stand on the platform that had been erected, and the letter of surrender was accompanied by bows and arrows, and rained down into the dock fort of Hongnong Yang.

At this time, the Hongnong Yang family was also full of complaints.

There is no one who does not take life seriously, especially a person who is used to being pampered like a family, and only his own life is his life. Seeing that his family is confronting a powerful court, who is not afraid? Even if he complained about the patriarch, he didn't dare to say it, for fear of being taken out by the patriarch who had lost his son and grandson one after another and was almost crazy, so he could only take people out of anger.

In just a few days, I don't know how many delicate women were dragged out, and how many slaves were beaten to the point of vomiting blood, and they couldn't save their lives. Especially the people in the kitchens, who are afraid of the invasion of the imperial army, how can they calm down and cook? Besides, even if they try their best, so what? There are many stinky problems in the family, where is the spring water for this cup of tea, when is the rain for that bowl of cheese, how many years of chicken is needed for this dish, and how many years of lamb is only a few months old for that dish. On weekdays, I can be satisfied one by one, but now, Yangjiawu Fort is blocked, and although there are many things in stock, I can't afford to pick and choose like this!

No matter how aggrieved the subordinates are, they can't help it when they meet unreasonable masters who think they are "snubbing". Seeing that the whole family of the kitchen stewards who were proud of their martial arts on weekdays were suffering, everyone did not rejoice, and they all trembled, fearing that one day it would be their turn. Yang Yan wanted to suppress the storage of the persuasion letter, but there were so many letters, how many pairs of eyes saw it, how could he suppress it? There were countless people whispering, especially in places like the kitchen.

"The court said that it would not pursue the ...... implicated"

"If that's the case, let's ...... You don't have to be sold......"

"Yes, yes, ......"

Thinking of the current situation, everyone's face pulled down again, and those of them who were slaves naturally did not want to leave the big tree of Hongnong Yang, let alone be sold on the street like animals, or exiled for thousands of miles. But the Yang family's wanton anger at them these days, beating and scolding them to death at every turn, is also full of resentment, so a person who looks like a person in charge smacked fiercely: "Whatever, do it!" ”
