As the saying goes, a penny is hard to beat a hero, whether it is a hero or a hero in reality, they all need to eat, drink and Lazar, and in these daily lives, basically, they are spending money all the time.

Liu Xie frowned slightly.

Now, there is no money in the treasury, and there is no money in the Shaofu, and this year's autumn tax is still early, so it can't be said that it was collected in advance, right? What's more, even if it is collected now, I am afraid that the people will not have any money.

So ask the nobles to raise some donations?

Who to look for?

There were no scholars in this place in the north, even if they are in Pingyang now, in fact, they are just some scholars who came from all over the neighborhood, if you want to talk about money, there are some, but no matter which one you are, it is impossible to bring all the wealth of a family with you......

Liu Xie was thinking, Fei Qian lowered his eyelids, and he was also thinking about it.

What do Fu Deyang Xiu's gang of people mean to do?

Stop this Yinshan Sealing Zen Ceremony?

Well, unlikely.

This ritual actually has some meaning for Fei Qian, but it is a bit like icing on the cake, it is good to have it, but there is not much to lose.

On the contrary, the significance of Yinshan Feng Zen to Liu Xie is not quite the same, and it is much more important than Fei Qian's aspect. Liu Xie ascended the throne at a young age, and spent a period of time without autonomy under Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun and others, and now such a Zen sealing ceremony is like announcing to the world the beginning of Liu Xie's independence, how can this not make Liu Xie pay attention?

Yang Xiu was a smart person, so it was impossible for him not to understand this. If Liu Xie is blocked, it is tantamount to planting a nail in Liu Xie's heart, and he doesn't know when it will come out.

Therefore, it is unlikely that Yang Xiu wanted to block the ceremony of sealing Zen in Yinshan, so why did Yang Xiu put forward such a word?

Fei Qian thought about it quietly, and had some answers in his heart.

Yang Xiu is indeed very intelligent, a simple sentence, but there are a series of traps hidden.

Liu Xie does not have money, so the only one who can contribute at the moment, and is very likely to be willing to give this money, is Fei Qian himself, this is naturally a very simple thing, originally Fei Qian also estimated, may paste some, just like raising these hundred officials during this period of time, anyway, there is no big fish and meat, and it doesn't cost much to eat coarse tea and light rice.

But with the addition of Volde's words, it's a different story.

Not to mention anything else, if you want to pay attention to it, how much does a Son of Heaven honor guard cost alone? The pomp and circumstance of the honor guard halo book, how can there be any certainty, it is simply a huge bottomless pit, and it is not enough to fill it in!

The Son of Heaven has three grades: big driving, legal driving, and small driving. For such a major political event as Feng Chan Yinshan, it is natural to use at least the specifications of the law to drive, and the law driving honor guard, the emperor alone rode in the car, all need to be decorated with a large amount of gold and silver, so it is also called the golden root car, and also drive six horses, in addition to the need to be accompanied by five auxiliary cars, all driving four horses, in addition to these, the other two horses belong to the car, there are thirty-six cars......

According to the etiquette regulations, the number of horses in the car is amazing, as many as 81 cars, in addition to 1,000 cars, more than 10,000 cavalry guards. And on top of the emperor's car, it was also necessary to be guided by the minister, escorted by the general, and driven by the servant in charge of the palace chariots.

The small driver is more casual, and only the deacon Shangshu is served, and the number of cars is smaller.

In addition to the requirements of the vehicle, there are also those who guide, lead, front and rear guards, front and rear drumming bands, honor guards, etc., which also require a lot of money to organize.

Six big flags, 12 big dragon flags, wind, rain, thunder and lightning and so on all kinds of flags, as well as guide cars, Jili cars, egret cars, Luan flag cars, evil car, Pi Xuan car, etc., plus the band representing the majesty of the royal family uses small drums, big drums, cymbal drums, festival drums, feather drums, flutes, flutes, flutes, pipes, trombones, baskets, gold cymbals, silver files and so on......

This has to be filled in, how much money is enough?

The key is that with so much money being filled in, whether you can hear a sound is a big question.

When the money is spent, can these flags and ceremonial guards be turned back into money? Obviously it can't be, the vast majority of money is spent in vain, and it is worthless.

So now, this money, Fiji sneaked out is not, not out.

Giving out this money is tantamount to self-harm, consuming a lot of economic strength, and then there is nothing except to gain some false fame.

And if you don't have this money, you can't say it either. Yinshan is on his own territory, whether it is the emperor Liu Xie or the hundred officials, strictly speaking, they are all guests, but their own master does not pay a penny, which eventually leads to the failure of the entire Fengzen behavior, so Liu Xie remembers, who is the responsibility?

Paying for it is equivalent to self-harm, and not paying for it means that this Zen sealing ceremony is over, of course, at the same time, it may not only be a ceremony of sealing Zen, but there may be more than that......

Fei Qian turned his head slightly and glanced at Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu sat upright with his eyes, nose, nose and mouth, and sat steadily.

Fude is just a pawn, most of these one-step three-in-a-row strategies can't be thought of, and for the current state, the weaker he is, the better it is for the Yang family, so except for Yang Xiu, others will not come up with this strategy.

So what should be done?

Fei pondered in his heart.

Therefore, in the hall, there was an eerie silence at this moment, only the sound of small breathing could be heard, but no one spoke.

After half a ring, Liu Xiecai looked at Fei Qian and said softly: "This ...... What does Fei Aiqing think about this? ”

Hearing Liu Xie's words fall, Yang Xiu's original expression, which was like a wood carving, moved slightly, and the hidden smile between his eyebrows and eyes quickly disappeared.

As Yang Xiu expected, Liu Xie would eventually ask Fei Qian for help.

The emperor is young and undecided, and it is the best time. This half-year-old child is naturally very good when he is good, but he is also so bad that he hates it. Yang Xiu was born in the Hongnong Yang family, such a person in the family, I don't know how much, of course I know the mystery.

If Liu Xie said something to Liu Xie, Liu Xie might not be willing to listen, but if Liu Xie already had some mustard in his heart, then if he played with it a little, maybe it would be like an avalanche......

Now, the gap begins.

Yang Xiu looked at Fei Qian with the corner of his eye, and said secretly in his heart, Fei Ziyuan, the general of the expedition to the west, in such a situation, how do you choose?

………………………………

At this moment, Cao Cao, who is far away in Xuzhou, is also facing a very difficult choice.

In front of the big tent, there was a man who knelt like a general, his helmet had been removed, and his hair soaked in sweat and dust hung down, looking very embarrassed.

"Zilian!" Cao Cao shouted angrily, "Since you know that the soldiers of Qingzhou are wild and untamable, why don't you take strict precautions and stop them, so that this big incident happens!" Dongping, Fan County, even under more than ten dock forts, where the chickens and dogs are not left! Zilian, you are a good soldier! ”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Some time ago, Cao Hong was asked to take the Qingzhou soldiers to the surrounding area to raise grain and grass, and did say that if someone did not cooperate, some necessary measures could be taken, but Cao Cao did not expect that the hungry Qingzhou soldiers were released like huskies without reins, and even Cao Cao felt a little scared when he was crazy.

Dongping, Fan County, the surrounding large and small dock forts more than 10 people, involving a population of tens of thousands of people, was actually tasted by the sweetness of the Qingzhou soldiers did not do two endlessly to all the capture, those who were originally in the dock fort, naturally most of them were killed, and then took the grain and grass and then burned it......

The problem of grain and grass was indeed temporarily solved, but the slaughter of all the rural warriors in the two counties was not the result that Cao Cao was willing to see.

Killing soldiers and killing the people is not a problem most of the time, just like when Huang Fu Song and others killed all the 100,000 people of the Yellow Turban Army, or drowned, no one, or no child of the scholar clan will stand up and accuse Huang Fu Song and others of being cruel, and even make some songs to sing praises for Huang Fu Song and others, but when Dong Zhuo sent Xu Rong to kill a leading Li Min, some people immediately began to say that Dong Zhuo was cruel and easy to kill, and there was no humanity, and when Dong Zhuo killed Yuan Kui, it immediately set off an uproar……

The same is true of Cao Cao in Xuzhou.

Attacking Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, this is not a big deal in the eyes of most of the children of the scholar clan.

Anyway, isn't it just that the princes are fighting, and when the results of the competition between the two sides come out, then naturally whether it is Tao Qian or Cao Cao, this piece of the countryside still needs these nobles to carry out local co-management and government affairs.

So some time ago, when Cao Cao led his troops to attack Xuzhou, these nobles didn't care too much, and they didn't expect that these Qingzhou soldiers under Cao Cao would be so murderous, and they didn't have much defense, resulting in the Qingzhou soldiers being like locusts in a few days, sweeping Dongping and Fan County.

Cao Hong shook his head and said, "...... Certain...... Dereliction of duty, please punish the ......" Cao Hong also knew that the matter was getting bigger, so he came to bear it, and when he heard Cao Cao's angry reprimand, he didn't argue too much.

Cao Hong didn't expect this to become such a situation.

First, things went too fast, Cao Hong didn't react for a while, it was already erosive, and secondly, Cao Hong was also clear in his heart about the lack of food in the army, so when a large number of grain and grass were transported, he didn't think much about it when he was happy.

In addition, Cao Hong actually has a preference for Ah Blockage, so under the combined effect of several aspects, when Cao Hong woke up from a cart of all kinds of gold and silver treasures, the Qingzhou soldiers who went out to sweep as a vanguard had already swept the two county towns, and came back to ask if he wanted to continue to the next county seat, which suddenly made Cao Hong feel that something was wrong......

It's a pity that it's too late, and the severed head can't grow back.

Cao Cao turned his head slightly, and glanced at Wei Qi, who had suggested sending troops out to borrow food, but saw that Wei Qi was sitting upright, like a wood carving.

Cao Cao couldn't help gritting his teeth and jumped twice on his cheeks.

It doesn't make sense to blame Wei Qi for this matter.

The decider is Cao Cao himself, and the executor is also Cao Cao's relative Cao Hong, Wei Qi just made a suggestion at all, and the rest of the things were all done by Cao Cao's side, and at the beginning, Wei Qi really only said that he wanted to catch one or two typical examples, kill chickens and monkeys, and did not say that he would slaughter all the dock forts around the county, and this responsibility could not be related to Wei Qi.

However, Cao Cao faintly felt in his heart that this matter seemed to be somewhat involved with Wei Qi......

But that's for later, and a choice must be made for now.

The scholars are all grudgeful, it is impossible to say that they killed the scholars of Dongping Fan County, and the children of the scholars in other places will also slap the left cheek and hand over the right cheek, and happily send the cleaned neck up, so if Cao Cao does not deal with it and does not give an explanation, then he will inevitably become a descendant of the inhumane eunuch party in the minds of the Xuzhou scholars.

But if so, how?

Hand over your brother to let the Xuzhou Shi clan vent their anger with a thousand knives?

Or send out the Qingzhou soldiers who finally pinched into their hands?

For a while, Cao Cao also had a hard time choosing.

And Wei Qi on the side, although he didn't express any invitation on his face, his heart was churning.

Cao Cao's mind of wanting to break away from Yuan Shao's control is actually not difficult to guess, but the problem is that Yuan Shao is a stupid white sweet, and he will not be the last to know until the last moment?

Who did Cao Cao rely on to take office in Dongjun? If there were no soldiers and horses supported by Yuan Shao, would Cao Cao be able to gain a firm foothold in Yanzhou? If there was no Yuan Shao to endorse Cao Cao, Cao Cao, the eunuch of the party, would be looked at differently?

Wei Qi came to Cao Cao, on the one hand, because there were indeed too many people on Yuan Shao's side, and there was no suitable position, and on the other hand, he was also entrusted by Yuan Shao to "assist" Cao Cao. And now Cao Cao is obviously too ambitious, and he wants to break away from Yuan Shao's invasion of Xuzhou, of course, he is not favored by Wei Qian. If Cao Cao really controls Xuzhou and stays here in Xuzhou, then it is equivalent to Yuan Shao losing the flank guards, and he will inevitably fall into the disadvantageous situation of being attacked by Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shu.

Cao Cao can only stay in Yanzhou, so that he can be valuable to Yuan Shao, and Wei Qi can only be regarded as completing Yuan Shao's entrustment if Cao Cao stays in Yanzhou, so even if it is not because of the recklessness of the Qingzhou soldiers this time, Wei Qi will think of other ways......

Wei Qi secretly glanced at Cao Cao from the corner of his eye, and said secretly in his heart, Yanzhou assassin Cao Mengde, in such a situation, how do you choose?
