Chapter 384: Food Prices Have Risen Again
Wei Chi Gong stood firmly, feeling that the earth was not shaking, "Damn, how did this turn over on the ground, evil!" ”
"Report!" A soldier came on a horse, and the person who came was a soldier from Chang'an.
"Report to the general, a letter from Zou Guogong in Chang'an, and hope that the general will open it in person."
"What did Zou Guogong and Zhang Gong do when he sent a letter to the old man?" Wei Chigong took the letter and read it.
The army was recuperating, and many of the soldiers were recovering their frightened horses.
After reading the letter, Wei Chigong ordered the generals around him, "You go to find out if there is an unjust, false and wrongful case in the Longyou area." ”
"Whoa!"
General Pi left in a hurry with a group of soldiers, and Wei Chi Gong looked at the soldier in front of him suspiciously and said, "Zhang Gongjin sent you?" ”
The messenger soldier knelt down on one knee and replied loudly, "The letter was written by Zou Guogong himself. ”
Wei Chigong burned the letter and said again: "Of course the old man knows that it was written by Zhang Gongjin, this old boy still likes to keep half of the seal cover, and there is still this problem after the incident in Xuanwumen." ”
Look at this messenger soldier.
Wei Chigong asked again: "There is something that the old man feels is wrong. ”
"General, please speak."
"You said that this letter will not arrive sooner or later, but it is too coincidental that it will come at this time."
The messenger soldier bowed his head and said: "In fact, half a month ago, Zou Guogong let the lowly rank be on the main road of the march, and after the general entered, he followed from a distance, and specially instructed that this letter must be handed over to the general after the turning of the earth dragon. ”
"What if it doesn't happen."
"If it doesn't happen, buy some dates and go back, Zou Guogong wants to eat some dried dates to replenish his body."
Wei Chigong smiled embarrassedly, "Zhang Gongjin, this old boy is really doing one hand and keeping the other, just as cunning, this letter is Zhang Gongjin's, and now the old man believes it." ”
"Now that the letter has been delivered, I will go back to my humble position."
"Wait!" Wei Chigong then asked, "Which soldier of the Wei Mansion are you and what is your name?" ”
"Actually, the lowly position is not a soldier of the Wei Mansion, the lowly king Xuance! It's Jingyang Guard. ”
"Jingyang? Bodyguard? ”
"Now Zou Guogong is in Jingyang."
Wei Chigong looked in the direction of Chang'an and whispered: "What is this Zhang Gongjin selling, according to what you say, Zhang Gongjin has long known that it will turn over?" When did he have the ability to do this? ”
Wang Xuance bowed down and said, "The general will understand when he arrives in Chang'an. ”
Wei Chigong nodded and said: "Okay, you go back, you don't have to prepare for the jujubes, the old man will personally send them to him, and it won't take much trouble to buy some along the way." ”
"Whoa!" Wang Xuance turned over and got on the horse again before leaving.
After Wang Xuance left, the army secretary whispered to Wei Chigong: "General, that person's horse is nailed to the horseshoe, if it weren't for the people of the Wei Mansion, how could he ride such a horse." ”
Wei Chigong poured a sip of cold water to soothe his horse and said, "Do you think the old man can't see it? Jingyang Guard? As far as the old man knows, there is a man named Li Zheng in Jingyang, who is now the deputy general of the Longwu Army, but he has been raising horses for the Longwu Army. ”
"I think so."
Wei Chigong looked around and ordered, "Set up camp on the spot." ”
"Whoa!"
The march of the army stopped, and Wei Chigong thought that he did not have many close friends in the court, and he would not be willing to pay attention to such a letter if someone else sent such a letter.
Zhang Gongjin is different, he must do what he entrusts.
The generals of the DPRK and China owe this guy a favor to a greater or lesser extent.
Back then, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and the eldest grandson Wuji were all strategists who wanted to give Zhang Gongjin a face.
It's a pity that now Zhang Gongjin has retired after returning from Yinshan.
If there was no Xuanwu Gate, so many generals who followed Li Shimin might have been cleaned up by Li Jiancheng now.
Within half a day, he would come back and report: "I found out that a month ago, the children of the Guanlong Zhao clan robbed a folk girl, and her husband hanged his son and became a beggar. ”
Wei Chigong smiled and said, "Baili is anxious to inform Chang'an Dali Temple of this matter and inform Your Majesty." ”
"Whoa!"
There are a lot of broken things about the gate valve, and there are a lot of things to check out.
The gossip of the gate lord clan cannot be mixed in, and Wei Chigong thinks that he is just a soldier who fights.
Chang'an, a day after the earthquake, news was rushed into Chang'an City.
Another incident came to Chang'an, and the matter of the children of the Guanlongmen valve robbing the people's daughters also spread in Chang'an.
After several discussions with Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling and others, they immediately summoned, and the virtue of the Guanlong Gate Valve was ashamed to lead the earth dragon to turn over, and ordered Dali Temple to investigate thoroughly, and never be spared.
There is a lot of talk in the market.
"Such evil deeds under the Lang Lang Dynasty."
"There is such an evil thing under Your Majesty's rule, no wonder there will be an earth dragon turning over."
"It is said that Dali Temple sent a lot of people to investigate this matter."
"I don't know what's going on, and there are more and more unsolved cases in Dali Temple recently."
……
Hearing the discussion in the market, Dai Xuan, who was eating breakfast in a shop, did not say a word.
Du Ruhui, who was eating with Dai Guan, also sighed when he saw that there were more vicissitudes on Dai Guan's face.
Du Ruhui spoke: "It seems that this time the matter has been calculated by Li Zheng again. ”
Dai Xuan said in a low voice: "The Eastern Turks need soldiers, horses, and grain and grass for help. ”
Du Ruhui nodded, "These days, the DPRK and China are also discussing whether to rush to the aid of the Eastern Turks, who makes our Majesty the Heavenly Khan." ”
Dai Xuan took a sip of soup, "The soldiers and horses are easy to say, it's just a matter of grain and grass, and now the people in Chang'an know that the grain in Li Zheng's hands in the entire Guanzhong is the most." ”
Du Ruhui was eating mutton, "This month, Li Zheng has been collecting grain, and almost all of the old grain in the court has been sold to Li Zheng to relieve the pressure on the household, so much grain has just been sold, and it will take some time for the new grain taxes to be collected in various places, is Li Zheng still collecting grain now?" ”
"I'm afraid that the grain in Guanzhong has been almost collected by Li Zheng, even if there are many rich families, there is really no one who can come up with the grain to support a big war."
Although the DPRK and China can also produce grain, who knows how long the battle between the Eastern Turks and the Western Turks will last.
The DPRK and China can rush to help, but it is indeed a big burden.
Right now, Li Zheng has a ready-made one in his hand.
Dai Xuan whispered; "Did you say that Li Zheng also calculated in advance that the Western Turks and the Eastern Turks were going to go to war."
Du Ruhui put down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said, "Maybe this kid will wake up laughing from his dreams now." ”
Dai Xuan sighed, "It's another prediction that the earth dragon will turn over, and it's the Western Turks who will start a war. ”
The villagers of Jingyang are still worried about the mountains of grain.
A group of children play on sacks full of grain, and there is a lot of food, and bags of grain are piled up like a mountain.
Li Shimin, who was sitting in the Ganlu Hall, was now very worried, and the envoy of the Eastern Turks was spitting at the mouth of the Western Turks.
With his mouth, he greeted the ancestors of the Western Turkic Khan for several generations.
