The head of the warehouse ordered someone to take a list and handed it to Guo Songdao: "The Tubo people took some of the materials in the warehouse, mainly tea cakes and cloth, in addition to 200,000 stones of salt, there are about 120,000 stones of grain, of which only 30,000 stones belong to the official warehouse, and 300,000 quintals of tea cakes, 250,000 horses of cloth, and 200,000 barrels of oil, which are all materials from private warehouses. ”

"What about the official warehouse?"

Guo Song asked, "Aren't there twenty official warehouses?" What else is there besides salt and grain? ”

The head of the warehouse was a little embarrassed and said: "Back to Your Highness, most of the official warehouses are empty, in addition to 200,000 stone salt and 30,000 stone grain, there are some groceries, there are tens of thousands of black beans for feeding livestock, tens of thousands of pieces of wood, and some medicinal materials, and nothing else." ”

"These private warehouses belong to the four major families?" Guo Song asked again.

"It's all theirs! Some warehouses may not be on their own, but the supplies inside are. ”

Guo Song nodded and said: "From now on, all the materials in the warehouse will be confiscated, and the warehouse will be temporarily managed by the military, and when the situation is stable, the warehouse will be handed over to the official." ”

.........

At noon on the same day, dozens of temporary street shops appeared on the streets of Chengdu, and each street shop had a sign with the words 'official price for salt sales' written on it.

According to the unified price of the Jin Kingdom, the price of one hundred and forty Wen per bucket was sold, the news spread far and wide, and suddenly the city was full of jubilation, countless people came from all directions to buy salt, and there was a long queue in front of each salt sales point, although each household could only buy one bucket for the time being, but it still made the people of Chengdu cheer, and they finally enjoyed the happiness of Chang'an people.

Guo Song struck while the iron was hot, and posted notices all over the city, announcing that the taxes of Bashu would be unified with Chang'an, and the four most basic civilian goods such as salt, flour, coarse cloth, and soybean oil would also be at the same price as Chang'an, which meant that the extremely unpopular shelf tax, tea and wine tax and tax would be abolished, and the high commercial tax, household tax and field tax would also be greatly reduced.

As soon as this proclamation came out, the hearts of millions of people in the entire Chengdu Prefecture were completely bought by Guo Song, and every household was celebrating the beginning of a new life, and no one missed the imperial court that fled to Yuzhou.

Two days later, Counselor Wen Ji led more than 100 officials to Chengdu, and he was appointed by Guo Song as the pacification envoy of Jiannan, temporarily in charge of the affairs of Jiannan Prefecture.

The palace has been burned down, the palace in front of the court officials and government also followed the burn, the temporary official room was arranged in the Guozijian and Taixue, Taixue covers an area of 300 acres, there are many buildings, and the classes have been suspended, just as a temporary military and political office.

In the official room, Guo Song was explaining to Wen Ji some of the things he would focus on next.

"Next, we still have to buy the hearts of the people, but buying the hearts of the people requires a lot of resources, and our own resources will be used for the war with the Tubo army, so we can only tap the potential from the inside."

Wen Ji pondered and said, "Your Highness means that the people still have great potential?" ”

Guo Song nodded, "I told you about the four major families of Wang, Huang, Wu, and Wei, in fact, there are thirteen grandsons and thirty-seven fine grandsons under them, this is a group of tumors attached to the blood-sucking people of the eunuch party, they have a lot of wealth and materials in their hands, this time they fled to Yuzhou with the eunuch party in a hurry, and only carried gold and silver, and they could not carry the grain, cloth and other people's biological materials, they must still be stored in their respective warehouses, some of these warehouses are in the city, but some are outside the city, and there are other nearby counties, We're going to search for all of them. ”

Wen Ji said with a smile: "You can use a reward to expose it, as long as you expose the property of the eunuch and the same party, and give a heavy reward, I believe that all the hidden materials can be found in a few days." ”

"It's a good idea, it can be implemented, and besides, I have a list here that you can refer to."

Guo Song handed him an inventory, "This is the house of the eunuchs and the same party in the city, a total of one hundred and thirty-four houses, the army has been sealed, and there are many domestic servants who stayed to watch the house, they are likely to know, and can break through from them and find useful clues." ”

Guo Song has not harvested since he confiscated dozens of large warehouses by the Minjiang River a few days ago, and he knows that there must be a large number of goods that have not been discovered, and those private warehouses belong to the four major families, so those distributors under the four major families, that is, the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of several eunuchs, must still have a huge amount of salt, grain, cloth and other goods in their hands.

When the Tibetan army came, they didn't have time to transport the supplies, so they hid them, and the Tibetan army didn't have time to find them, but left this treasure hunt game to Guo Song.

Guo Song also didn't have time to hunt for treasures, so he handed over the matter of confiscating the remnants of the eunuch party to Wen Ji.

Wen Ji took the inventory and looked at it and said: "The lowly job understands, the lowly job will start to implement it in the afternoon, and the lowly job plans to grasp it with both hands, and combine it with self-search and encouragement and exposure." ”

Guo Song said happily: "I will send 5,000 troops to cooperate with you, and I hope to hear your good news as soon as possible." ”

At this time, Wen Ji suddenly remembered something, and said: "Tubo temporarily withdraws its troops, and the Yuzhou side should also get the news, how does His Highness think they will react?" ”

Guo Song pondered for a moment and said with a slow smile: "It's not so much that the court cares, it's better to say that the eunuchs care, in fact, the eunuchs don't care too much about Tubo, they care more about me, when will I leave Bashu, or rather, what do I plan to do in the future?" I think they will send a court official to question us in the name of the Queen Mother. ”

"Then how should you reply to the lowly position?"

Guo Song said lightly: "You just tell the people who came that we are just coming to King Qin, and after driving the Tubo army out of Bashu, we will naturally return to Chang'an." ”

..........

That night, Guo Song once again led an army of 50,000 to leave Chengdu and slaughtered Yazhou.

This time, Pei Xin only led 3,000 cavalry as the vanguard, and their duty was to probe the enemy first, prevent the enemy from ambushing the main army halfway, and of course open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water, but Yazhou is located on the edge of the Bashu Basin, where mountains and plains are interspersed, the forests are lush, and the population is sparse, so it is indeed easy to ambush the army.

Pei Xin didn't go fast, he kept sending out a large number of scouts, and then took them back, and the journey was quite smooth.

Early the next morning, the vanguard cavalry entered Linqiong County, Qiongzhou, and soon Pei Xin got the news of the scouts, and found a Tubo army in front, about 2,000 people, this news made Pei Xin happy,

Pei Xin is not afraid of any Tubo army, he has fought fiercely with the Tubo army many times in Longyou and Anxi, although the Tubo army is strong, but it is by no means invincible, and the Tubo army has obvious disadvantages, they lack pig iron, generally use short swords and shields, there are not many long weapons, and the equipment is relatively poor.

If they were fighting on the plateau, they might still have the advantage of adapting to the plateau climate, but this is Bashu, except for the will to fight without fear of death and the physical advantage of long-lasting endurance, everything else is inferior to the Jin army.

Pei Xin immediately decided to completely annihilate this Tibetan army, this is his power, unless it is the main force of the enemy army, the vanguard lord will have the right to decide to participate in sporadic battles.

However, Pei Xin still sent his men back to deliver a letter to the commander, telling His Royal Highness the King of Jin that they had encountered 2,000 Tibetan soldiers in Qiongzhou.

At this time, Pei Xin suddenly remembered something, and immediately sent someone to find the captain Zhou Junyu, Zhou Junyu is Guo Song's nephew, who has come out of the Yanwutang, he performed well, was appointed as the captain, and was assigned to the rapid emergency army controlled by Pei Xin.

Zhou Junyu didn't have much actual combat experience, but last year he followed Kang Bao to exterminate horse bandits in the Hexi Corridor and killed several horse bandits, but he had never fought fiercely with the regular army, Pei Xin was still a little worried, the Tubo soldiers were strong, in case this kid made a mistake, he couldn't explain it to the King of Jin.

At this time, Zhou Junyu rode forward on horseback, hugged his fists and said: "See the general!" ”

Zhou Junyu is dressed in bright armor, and he looks majestic, but unfortunately Pei Xin doesn't value this the most, if Zhou Junyu's armor is bloodstained, then he is a warrior.

Pei Xin said gently: "There are two thousand Tubo troops in front, you immediately go back and report to His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and say that I will lead the army to annihilate this Tubo army." ”

Zhou Junyu's face immediately swelled red, he was not a messenger, but General Pei asked him to report the news, obviously he didn't want him to participate in the battle, he suddenly had a feeling of shame and humiliation, bit his lip fiercely and said, "Why does the general humiliate his position like this?" ”

Pei Xin was stunned, "Why did I humiliate you?" ”

"Isn't it humiliation to let the lowly to escape? Could it be that I, Zhou Junyu, am an embroidered pillow in the eyes of the general, and I am useless? ”

Yang Xuanying next to him persuaded: "General, everything has a first time, let him participate in the war!" If His Royal Highness the King of Jin had mercy on him, he would not have let him follow us. ”

Pei Xin glanced at Zhou Junyu, and saw that his eyes were resolute and full of requests to join the war, and he secretly praised in his heart, this kid is a malleable talent.

Pei Xin said happily: "Since you must participate in the war, then I will fulfill it, if you unfortunately die, it will be your life!" ”

Zhou Jun resolutely said: "Being able to die on the battlefield is also the supreme glory of humility!" ”
