Chapter 833: Sure enough, it's an old ginger
Park Wanyang's official appearance made Park Hao overjoyed, he struggled hard, twisted, and wanted to break free from Cui Jiu's shackles and rush back into his father's arms.
However, Cui Jiu is Cui Mingtao's henchman and slave, and on the premise that Lao Cui didn't speak, even if he was worried about Park Wanyang's tragic revenge, Cui Jiu would never dare to let Park Hao go.
Pu Wanyang had already seen that his only son was firmly controlled, although his heart was like a knife, he still smiled and said to Cui Mingtao: "Cui Gong, Li Xianggong, the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, has already issued an edict, I don't know if the winter clothes, winter food and firewood of the Celestial Empire army can be properly raised?" ”
Cui Mingtao's heart suddenly struck, since the second eastward crossing of Li Xianggong's army of the Celestial Dynasty, the grain transported from the Great Zhou side has not only become less and less, but there have been signs of supply interruption recently.
In order to ensure the supply of food and clothing for the Eastern Expeditionary Army, Cui Mingtao can be said to have racked his brains to find a way, but after all, the Goryeo Kingdom has fought two wars in a row, and both the financial and material resources of the officials and the people have also consumed huge amounts.
Of course, this is only the superficial reason, but the deep-seated reason is actually that after Li Jiajun captured Kaijing for the second time, he carried out a very thorough targeted and organized robbery.
According to Cui Mingtao's private estimates, although Li Zhongyi did not touch the property of the grass people, he looted nearly 100 big families in Goryeo, including many hairpin families that have stood for a hundred years.
In other words, what Li Zhongyi has in his hands is land and grain, but with Cui Mingtao's 800 guts, he doesn't dare to reason with Li Zhongyi.
Li Zhongyi's original words of beating Cui Mingtao, he has always remembered vividly, his parents and officials have an absolute obligation to let the imperial army be well fed, warmly dressed, trained energetically, and take the lead in killing the enemy!
In the face of the greedy Li Zhongyi, Cui Mingtao didn't dare to openly disagree, so he had to helplessly slander: What is this not knocking on the bone and sucking the marrow?
Park Wanyang obviously came to relieve the siege for Park Hao, but he didn't mention personal matters, but by questioning Cui Mingtao's logistics supply, he ruthlessly commanded the old Cui Yijun.
Because the expropriation task that Cui Mingtao is responsible for has indeed only completed seventy percent, which is far from the small goal of exceeding thirty percent required by Li Zhongyi.
"Master, Jiang is still old and spicy after all!" Han Xianglan lost no time in taking a dose of eye medicine for Pu Wanyang, without any pretentiousness, purely accidental.
Li Zhongyi touched his chin, smiled slightly, and said: "A small third-rate country that has lost its national fortunes, no matter how powerful the elite bureaucracy is, it can't stop the general trend of decline. ”
"Master, what do you mean by elite?" Han Xianglan, who had a small bun in her belly, was like opening the door of a super horse, and the fun was everywhere in Li Zhongyi's itch.
Li Zhongyi smiled, since the baby is willing to have fun, it doesn't hurt for him to cooperate, so he explained with a smile: "It's like Fan Xianggong." ”
"Oh, master, your analogy seems to be a little inappropriate...... Han Xianglan covered her lips and laughed softly, "I'm afraid it should be similar to Feng Dao and Feng Xianggong, right?" ”
Li Zhongyi frowned slightly, and then understood, daring to be affectionate, Han Xianglan compared Fan Zhen to Feng Dao's kind of wall grass.
"Fan Xianggong and Feng Dao are still quite different." Li Zhongyi shook his head slightly, no matter what, Fan Zhen cannot be regarded as a surrender faction, in terms of national righteousness, it is much higher than Feng Dao Lao'er.
Han Xianglan's original intention was just to have fun and have fun, and she didn't want to argue who was right and who was wrong, but seeing that Li Zhongyi had a lot of praise for Fan Qian, she had a plan in her heart.
Li Zhongyi once said a sentence before, Han Xianglan still remembers that the good appearance of the country should refer to Fan Qian, right?
In Li Zhongyi's view, Fan Zhen is already a relatively outstanding prime minister in the agricultural era, and the prime minister who can be favored by Chai Rong, a generation of male lords, is absolutely no problem with his ability. It's just that because of the misresponse to the Chen Qiao Mutiny, its historical image was greatly affected, but it was not as famous as the villain Zhao Pu.
However, Fan's shrewdness, ability, and ingenuity can only cope with the economic system dominated by small farmers, and Li Zhongyi, who has large-scale industrialization and large-scale information-based thinking, is simply incomparable.
As the old saying goes, if you fall behind, you will be beaten. In history, playing with intrigue and tricks can't get Zhao Lao Er, and it is destined to become a tragedy of that era, even if Li Zhongyi is not born.
"Gong Pu, if the lower officials can't complete the task of raising money when it expires, they will personally go to Li Xianggong to ask for guilt." Cui Mingtao is by no means a vain person, he has already thought of a countermeasure in the blink of an eye, and simply came up with a trick to block Pu Wanyang's mouth.
Pu Wanyang stroked his beard lightly, and chased Cui Mingtao with bad intentions: "Shouldering the supply of the army, it is not just a simple matter of asking for guilt, it is light to raid the family and exterminate the clan." May I ask Cui Gong, if someone secretly makes trouble, goes up and down his hands, and harms the public and private interests, what crime should he be guilty of? ”
Cui Mingtao thought at first that Pu Wanyang was just a lie and threat, but when he pondered carefully, he suddenly noticed a loophole in the sky. Because the amount of food, clothing and other materials that the entire Eastern Crusade army needs to collect is too large, Cui Mingtao's eldest son Cui Zheng actually secretly participated in it behind Lao Cui's back.
Cui Mingtao also just learned that Cui Zheng was likely to have an accident, and then there was this incident with Park Hao, and he had no chance to interrogate him carefully about the angry man.
Didn't Pu Wanyang grab Da Lang's handle? The more Cui Mingtao thought about it, the more likely he felt. After all, knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, what is the nature of the Cui family's eldest man, it is impossible for Cui Mingtao to be a father.
Pu Wanyang has always been an old spicy personality who doesn't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, and since he has put forward the cattiness, most of them have some evidence at hand.
As soon as Cui Mingtao thought of this, the confidence in his heart was immediately insufficient, although his face was as usual, but in Pu Wanyang's eyes, Lao Cui's small action of holding on to the reins of the horse was enough to show that his guess was absolutely correct.
"Come on, bring Cui Ba over." Park Wanyang has always been worried that the matter is getting bigger, and it is likely to directly alarm Li Zhongyi, so he simply quickly brought out the important person testimony in order to deter Cui Mingtao, who was about to move.
When Cui Ba was cut off his hands and pushed in front of him, Cui Mingtao no longer doubted, he gritted his teeth tightly, secretly regretted, after going back, he must clean up Da Lang fiercely, this time he must beat his ass.
"Park Gong......" Cui Mingtao wanted to make peace, but he couldn't save face, and he seemed extremely hesitant.
Pu Wanyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a burst of joy in his heart, but his face was not shocked, "Gong Cui, the old man happens to have something important to discuss with you, why don't you go to the Beijing Mansion to talk about it?" ”
"Why don't you go to Gong Pu's side for tea." Cui Mingtao sighed sullenly, forced by the situation, for the sake of the dogs who were not angry with each other, he had to swallow this bad breath, and wisely chose to compromise with Pu Wanyang.
