At this time, Li Dian also brought five or six clay pots, which he sent someone to buy from the Taiyuan market, and put them side by side to make a judgment.

"Everyone, I know everyone's demands, everyone wants to continue to make a living from pottery, as the government, will also support everyone, I am here to solve the problem for you, so where is the problem first?"

Guo Song pointed to the pottery on both sides and said: "The problem is the gap between the pottery, on one side is the most ordinary pottery in the Taiyuan market, this kind of water pot costs eighty yuan a piece, beautiful shape, fine workmanship, on the other side is the pottery fired by everyone, the same water pot, you want to sell it for three hundred yuan, but the production is inferior, the process is rough, this is the problem." ”

The lobby was very quiet, and at this time, an old man couldn't help but say: "But the Hui people are willing to buy our clay pots at a price of 300 yuan each, and they have been like this all these years, I think that our clay pots are worth so much money, and all of us think so!" ”

"Really?"

Guo Song sneered and said, "I can send your family to Huifu, you are in Huifu to burn clay pots, do you think they will still pay at this price?" ”

"This ..... I'm afraid that the clay of the Hui will not be able to burn such pottery. ”

Li Dian next to him couldn't help but said angrily: "I told you a thousand times and ten thousand times, the Hui people don't need such pottery at all, the pottery in their barracks is all good pottery bought from Taiyuan, they are just enveloping you, once the Hui army goes south, everyone will be slaves." ”

"So what do we do? Li Tingshi has to give us a way out! The ten old men shouted angrily together.

Guo Song waved his hand, "Everyone be quiet!" ”

There was a majesty in his words, and as soon as he spoke, the hall fell silent.

Guo Song said slowly: "I propose three plans, you can choose, first, the government to Taiyuan City to hire famous craftsmen to teach everyone to burn pottery, everyone humbly learn, strive to improve skills, fire qualified ceramics, the government will help everyone find a market, the premise is a reasonable price and qualified quality;

Then there is the second plan, Yunzhou's big-tailed sheep and eyebrow donkeys are very famous, every household can raise sheep and donkeys, and then the army is responsible for procurement;

The third plan, you can grow grain, the government is exempt from all taxes, you can choose these three ways out, if you don't choose, then you can also make a living, you can open inns, taverns, open grocery stores, and even migrate to the south to live, the government will not stop you, but there is an ugly saying that I want to say in front. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Song deliberately paused, he glanced at everyone with a stern gaze, and said slowly: "It is impossible for the government to accept this kind of clay pot at the price of three hundred yuan, if you miss Hui Hui, you can go back to Hui to make a living, but if anyone colludes with Hui Hui because of the good of Hui Hui, harms the interests of the Tang Army, and damages the city garrison, he will be publicly beheaded for treason!" ”

.........

On the one hand, it is necessary to show goodwill and find a means of livelihood for them, and on the other hand, it is necessary to be tough to prevent them from thinking about the benefits of returning to the people and betraying the city of Clouds.

Now that this kind of sign has appeared, the Yunzhou government cannot meet their unreasonable demands, and they have begun to miss the rule of the Hui people, although everyone left in silence, but Guo Song can feel this, and he is also extremely vigilant.

In the inner hall of the state office, an attendant served tea and retreated.

Li Dian sighed and said: "Actually, I have held such a representative meeting three times today, and I also proposed to open a pottery school and hire famous teachers to teach pottery, but it was useless, they just thought about it, hoping that we would buy their inferior pottery at a high price like the Hui people, so I was so angry." ”

Guo Song pondered for a moment and said, "Does everyone think so? ”

"No, there are three more powerful families here, the leader is the old man who asked today, called Bian Xin'an, they are the biggest beneficiaries, basically the three of them are instigating trouble, today thousands of people came out at the same time to kneel and beg for pressure, it is obvious that they are prepared, and the lowly position is still sending people to investigate, if the lowly position is expected, these three families will not be able to get rid of it."

"Then dig up the rotten parts first, and then renegotiate!"

Guo Song said coldly: "Tonight, the alarm will be issued, and it will be said that the 100,000 Hui army is coming, and the evacuation will start tomorrow, and the three of them will be evacuated to Wuzhou City, and they will not come back in the future." ”

"Ignorance, understood!"

........

That night, the Hexi army sounded the alarm that the 100,000 Hui army was coming from the grassland, and the soldiers began to knock on the door from house to house, demanding that the people immediately pack up their belongings and prepare to evacuate with the army.

The city in the clouds suddenly became a mess, and every household simply packed up their valuable belongings and followed the army to evacuate south.

The last evacuated Bian family, the Zhou family and the Yan family, their three families have a large population and a lot of property, although they are very reluctant to leave, but under the continuous urging of the army, the three major families had to reluctantly pack some belongings and follow the army to evacuate, but they are different from other people's evacuation routes, more than 140 people from their three families were evacuated to Wuzhou City, three hundred miles to the east.

Wuzhou City is a military city, the terrain is dangerous, but the garrison of 500 people, once the nomadic cavalry attacked, the people of the surrounding villages have to withdraw to the military city, such a military city, Yunzhou still has a few, but with a large number of people evacuated Yunzhou, the significance of these military cities is not much, Wuzhou City has also become an empty city.

With more than 140 people from the three major families living in Wuzhou City, then the city gate was closed and the soldiers guarded them, and they could no longer go out of the city.

At noon the next day, the news came from the front army that the 100,000 Hui army was not attacking Yunzhou, but attacking the Sijie Department, the crisis alarm was lifted, and the tens of thousands of people who had walked halfway began to turn around and return to Yunzhong City, they complained and cursed in a low voice, but they couldn't imagine that this was just a drill, and through this exercise, the three powerful families that controlled the people in the clouds disappeared.

Two days later, Guo Song once again convened dozens of old people to discuss the transformation, this time without the obstruction of the three major families, everyone discussed very smoothly, sixty percent of the people chose to raise sheep, donkeys, two percent of the people chose to accept the training of famous craftsmen, improve pottery skills, turn to make fine pottery, and two percent of the people chose to plant melons and fruits.

The state government took out 30,000 yuan to help the people transform, Yunzhong County gradually went on the right track, and the three major families were moved to Taiyuan a few months later, and subdivided into more than 20 small families, which were divided into counties in Taiyuan Prefecture, and completely lost contact with Yunzhou.

At this time, Zhu Zhu's army began to attack the southeast of the river, 150,000 troops of the Northern Tang Dynasty surrounded the city of Hedong, the city of Hedong is the first city of Guanzhong to enter the east of the river, the city of Hedong is tall and strong, the terrain is high, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Li Huaiguang has long been prepared, the city reserves a large amount of food and military materials, Li Huaiguang personally led 30,000 heavy soldiers to defend the city of Hedong, and mobilized the people of the city to participate in the defense of the city.

The two sides broke out in Hedong City, which lasted for half a year.......

On the eighth day of September, Guo Song returned to Zhangye City, and as soon as he entered Zhangye City, he heard the unfortunate news that Yan Zhenqing had died of illness a month earlier, and the coffin had been transported back to his hometown by his son for burial.

This news really made him sad, and he planned to come back to talk to Yan Zhenqing about the strategy of seizing Guanzhong, but he didn't expect him to pass away.

At night, Guo Song carefully read the last long letter left by Yan Zhenqing on the hospital bed in the study, which can be called a book of ten thousand words, in which he elaborated on his various political views, which was a summary of his lifelong political practice, and also told the timing and steps of seizing Guanzhong.

In the letter, Yan Zhenqing strongly criticized the struggle for imperial power in the Southern Tang Dynasty and predicted that this would lead to the complete decline of the Tang Dynasty.

Guo Song walked to the window with his hands down, looking at the dark night sky, the night in September was already cool, Guo Song suddenly had an indescribable sense of exhaustion, he just wanted to rest for a few months and consolidate the results he had won in the two years of southern and northern wars.

At this time, his wife Xue Tao came in with a cup of tea, and Guo Song said with a smile: "I saw Xue Fan in Taiyuan and appointed him as the governor of Taiyuan Prefecture." ”

"Did you mention my father?"

Guo Song shook his head, "Maybe he wants to mention it!" But I didn't give him a chance, and in the end I didn't mention it. ”

"I also received a letter from my father yesterday, he is now a secretary of the ministry, and he has also been awarded the title of Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi, I feel that he is not very happy in the letter, and there is a little helplessness, he seems to be under a lot of pressure."

Guo Song said apologetically: "It seems that I put pressure on him, and he is very worried that if I rebel and usurp the throne, he will follow me and be ruined." ”

"Husband shouldn't have this idea!"

Guo Song hugged his wife into his arms, kissed her on the forehead, still shook his head and smiled: "Even Zhu Zhu and several major feudal towns in Hebei have not taken this step, how can I take it easily, I am at least a little more loyal and patriotic than them!" ”

"Where are you loyal, embarrassed to say!"

Guo Song walked to the window with his wife's waist around and said with a smile: "Autumn is high and refreshing, tomorrow our family will go on an autumn tour!" ”
