Today's Li Tong's position is different from the old days, and his vision is naturally raised. Although it is not yet possible to talk about the power leaning towards the government and the opposition, at least west of Tongguan, there is no bigger figure than him. Even he thinks the harvest is good, that is, it is really good.

However, judging from this collated list alone, it exudes a rustic and simple atmosphere, giving people the feeling that it is like copying a few illegally operated farmhouses, not like the name of Lord Shuo Mouse's family property.

There are dozens of materials on the list, covering everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation. Needless to say, such as basic silk cloth cotton, corn and rice, the rest of the more precious fabrics and condiments such as fur weaving brown, fine silk, Luo Xuan, feather yarn, camel felt, stone honey, honey, thorn honey, Shu pepper, nepeta and other fabrics and condiments are quite normal.

But further down, all kinds of hidden goods become a little strange, spinach, cabbage, lotus root powder, sauce, straw mats, bath beans, oxtail, jujube wood, sandalwood, paulownia and other rare goods are also listed in the name, which makes people feel a little inexplicable.

However, if you add the number of each, the funny meaning is much lighter. More than 80,000 collars of straw mats alone, thousands of buckets of bath beans, and tens of thousands of cans of all kinds of pickles!

These things, regardless of their value and function, just hoarding such an astonishing amount makes Li Tong, a person who feels the material conditions of the later generations, staggering, what is the motivation for these people to collect so many strange things?

The Tang people value storage and light currency, which is really vividly reflected in these people. The value of such daily necessities as straw mats is not reflected in the use and price, but in the fact that the theft and control of labor by these noble families has reached an outrageous level!

In addition to various materials and handicrafts, the seized list also included metallic materials such as gold, silver, and copper bars, and the amount was equally expensive.

After going through the list in detail, Li Tong couldn't hold back anymore and entered the camp to check all kinds of goods that had been shipped. Many goods and goods were even piled up in several camps of thousands of people, and cattle, sheep, and horses had to be set up in another camp.

This is just the materials that are easy to transport in some gardens around Chang'an, and the strategic materials such as grain are too eye-catching, and they need to gather elite troops and then concentrate on carrying and storing them.

"It's light to slash these guys with one sword!"

After enjoying the tour, Li Tong couldn't help but feel more resentful in his heart in addition to feeling that he had gained a lot.

He even wanted to invent a few more kinds of torture, such as filling the vat with water, letting the criminals jump in and take a bath, and using the bath beans they stored, and they were not allowed to leave the tank until they ran out! According to this amount of storage, Li Tong estimated that these people's skin and flesh were rubbed into white bones, and they might not be able to consume it.

Li Tong had already expected the wealth of these people, otherwise he would not have chosen them to blackmail. Needless to say, the storage style of the Tang people was able to collect as many as 800 stones in the Tang Dynasty.

However, the variety and number of these people's collections were so different and so astonishing that they greatly exceeded his expectations, and at the same time made him even more angry.

You only store grain, cloth, gold, silver, copper, money, and jewelry, tens of thousands of cans of pickles, and more than 80,000 straw mats. Not to mention that you still have various costs for storage, it is not easy to calculate the discount of Lao Tzu's house!

Moreover, no matter how many luxury goods are collected, the impact on people's livelihood is actually limited. After all, ordinary people can't get in touch with these things in their daily lives, let alone consume them.

However, the value of various daily necessities is not high, the consumption is large, and the collection is so large, the impact on people's livelihood is great. These local tyrants in Datang really taught Li Tong a lesson, you think things are too common and ordinary, and you can't bully the market and monopolize, that's because your warehouse is not big enough!

After copying these dozen or so, the goods received a lot, the value is really hard to say, there is really no standard for price comparison, and transportation, storage and handling is also a great trouble, which is a bad aspect.

But there are also a lot of benefits, these goods are all valuable and useful, Chang'an wants to restore order, and the demand for all kinds of materials is already huge. Moreover, the chaos is new, and it is inevitable that the market will be stingy with sales and keen storage, and there will be a certain degree of shortage of materials, and the price will be easy to be controlled.

In ancient times, the commodity economy was underdeveloped, but it did not include a large-scale city like Chang'an. If the market is prone to depression, people's livelihood will be greatly affected. Even if Li Tong is very powerful at the moment, it is not good to directly interfere with market behavior, I have the goods, but I just don't sell them, what can you do?

If some government decrees are forcibly promulgated, or even raided from homes and goods, it will only make the market even more depressed, and even cause a large number of people and materials to flee. Even if the size of Li Tong's army was doubled, it would be difficult to completely control the entire Chang'an City. If you don't follow the rules, then you will break up in two.

Now that we have such a batch of goods in our hands, we will have the capital to influence the market and stabilize prices, and we can re-establish market order. As long as there are goods on the market and can be re-operated, he is not afraid that someone will cover up and sell them, and he hopes that there will be such people again.

The existence of these collectors in Guanzhong is also good and bad. On the one hand, the bad side is the addiction of hoarding, hiding nothing, and not considering the burden and bad impact on people's livelihood and the market. The good thing is that the collection is very diverse and large, and it is beautiful to digest in one bite.

Moreover, in addition to these reserves, the gardens and fields on the outskirts of the city were also a lot of wealth, more than 2,000 hectares, and they were all high-quality fertile fields close to water sources and waterways.

This is just the number on the books, if you measure it on the ground, according to the consistent urine behavior of these people, the area of cultivated land will increase by several times or even double.

In short, cleaning up these dozen noble portals this time really made Li Tong earn a lot of money, so it's no wonder that he will continue to build a few more. If he doesn't, he will be uncomfortable and can't sleep, but the scale and quantity must also be controlled a little, and it is not good to eat too fiercely and without moderation.

Therefore, after returning to the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Tong immediately drafted two orders, one was the "Order to Ban the Export of Materials from Xijing", and the other was the "Ruling the Chaos and Returning to the Correct City". The former controls the materials of Chang'an City and is not allowed to export them. The latter rectified the order of the Chang'an market, and included some material transactions under the control of the government, and even bought and sold by the government.

Controlling materials is a natural method in wartime, not to mention anything else, if it weren't for the blockade of the passage of Chang'an City by Wang Shi's army before, it may not be able to hold back the more than a dozen families who stole the official treasury from blowing themselves up on the spot. The restoration of order in Chang'an City still requires a large amount of material input, and of course a large amount of materials cannot be allowed to flow out.

As for the latter, Li Tong planned to introduce the Xijing merchants into the reconstruction of order in Chang'an City. Although in any period and in any era, merchants are not a progressive group, but the circulation of materials and the active market are inseparable from the cooperation of businessmen.

Not to mention that the current turmoil in Chang'an City is determined, even in the era when the entire Tang Dynasty was at its most prosperous during the Kaitian period, the imperial court also needed to activate private capital through government decrees such as the city, so as to promote the normal operation of the war machine.

Li Tong stayed in the camp of Bashang for two more days, and another 5,000 troops arrived outside Chang'an City, accompanied by a group of important shogunate officials such as Yao Yuanchong, and he officially entered Chang'an City in the second half of the month.

On this day, at the beginning of the morning, hundreds of officials from Xijing Zhujumen and various bureaus came to the Bashang camp early to welcome His Royal Highness King Yong into the town of Chang'an.

Drums and trumpets sounded in the camp, and the 5,000 officers and men of the Chinese Army were in strict formation, and each left the camp according to the flag order. Li Tong also rode out of the camp, but he did not wear the golden armor of the saucy bag in the Shendu, but only wore a relatively simple Mingguang armor, but with the front and rear guidance and support of the banner of the big camp, it was also majestic and heartbreaking.

"The ministers respectfully invite His Royal Highness King Yong to enter the city and descend to the church!"

Hundreds of people bowed respectfully in front of the camp gate, and Yao Yuanchong, the squire of the military department who had just arrived at Bashang, took the stage to read out the book, and after reading it out, everyone danced happily again. Of course, happiness may not be necessary, but if you don't dance, you're in trouble.

After the masses were invited again, the procession continued to march and entered the Chunming Gate in the east of the city. There are constantly armor soldiers galloping on the side streets, going back and forth to clean the streets. Although there were also people on both sides of the street who gathered to watch, they did not dare to rush onto the side street casually.

As for the first time when Li Tong came to Xijing, the situation of Pingkangfang people doing street roadshows was even less likely. At that time, Li Tong was still an idle sect king, but now he is in power, in charge of Xijing and even the entire Guannei Dao situation.

However, even if King Yong is not powerful and intimidating, presumably the people of Xijing are not in the mood for fun at the moment. As soon as the team entered the Chunming Gate, Li Tong clearly felt that Chang'an City was different from before.

The locust willows planted on both sides of the street are gone, and the nullahs on the side of the street are overflowing, and the people standing on both sides of the street seem a little numb and silent, far less lively and confident than before. The whole city is solemn, oppressive and even deserted, and although the apparent turmoil is gone, the bad effects of the turmoil are still everywhere.

Feeling these sad changes in Chang'an, Li Tong was also in a complicated mood for a while, and the blow suffered by Chang'an this time had a deep relationship with him.

Now that he has finally been able to enter the city, there is no need to say anything about remorse, guilt, etc., it will be his life's responsibility and career to wash away the haze that envelops the whole city, and make this Xiongdu regain the glory it originally had!

In front of the Suzaku Gate, the entourage of the people dismounted again to worship, in front of the majestic palace gate, the flags were displayed, the armor was lined up, the bluestone royal road was clean and dusty, Li Tong rode the horse slowly, and stopped in front of the palace gate, and then took a deep breath and said loudly: "From now on, live up to the ancestors, live up to the common people!" ”
