The faint words of the Red Mansion shocked Ye Qing is heart, and the alarm bell sounded in an instant.

In this world, individuals will have their own independent thinking, but whether their independent thinking will override their actions.

Therefore, even if Ye Qing has increased his efforts to relieve the victims, it does not mean that all the victims will listen to the lobbying and persuasion of the government, and will follow it and go to Jingzhaofu Road to seek a livelihood.

During the Song and Song dynasties, there were countless peasant uprisings, and whether it was the Northern Song Dynasty or the Southern Song Dynasty, there were always contradictions and struggles between the peasants and various classes.

The reason for the peasant uprising was obviously not that they had nothing to do after they had eaten and drunk, so they rose up and regarded the rebellion as entertainment, but because they were forced to launch a kind of struggle to simply survive when they were desperate under hunger and cold.

And now the Beidi Fourth Road under the rule of Ye Qing was the "hardest hit area" of the rebellion in the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, Dong Chao, one of the four times in the umbrella, originally started with a rebellion, but at that time it was still under the rule of the Jin people.

Now the Yellow River is overflowing, the disaster is severe, from the year before last, last year to this year, the Yellow River has not stopped its surging waves, and in the past two years, although Ye Qing has tried his best to channel the displaced people, but it does not mean that the small-scale grass for the cowards is really extinct.

Nowadays, there are so many silver taels and rare treasures, if you want to smoothly transport them from Jinan Mansion to Yangzhou, it is obviously not possible.

"Did I say the wrong thing?" Red Mansion looked at Ye Qing, who was stunned, and asked cautiously.

"No, you did remind me." Ye Qing got up, picked up the face of the Red Mansion, kissed the seductive red lips, and then walked quickly towards the study in the dissatisfaction of the Red Mansion.

But as the so-called house leak happened to rain overnight, Ye Qing had just stepped into the study, and the Red Mansion behind him took the letter sent by the scout, and hurriedly trotted in: "King Qing's letter." ”

Ye Qing instructed Bai Chun and hurriedly told Xin Qiji and the others not to underestimate the robbers they might encounter on the way to Yangzhou when transporting those gold and silver to Yangzhou, while opening the letter from King Qing in his hand.

Just halfway through it, Ye Qing's mouth once again burst out of his mouth, which has not been talked about much over the years, "!" ”

"What's wrong?" Bai Chun raised his head and asked, and the red mansion next to him was also startled.

"In the thirteen counties around Chang'an, there are already signs of homeless riots in three counties, and it seems that there are squires and landlords instigated among them. I have to go to the government office, so that Zhong Silkworm and the others don't have to rush back, and go directly to the three counties around that are about to riot, and you have to send more people to other counties, so if you can't do it...... Kill chickens and monkeys, and slaughter a few people or local famous families to deter these people. Ye Qing said as he gave the letter in his hand to Bai Chun, and then walked towards the government office without looking back.

Liu Keshi is the most suitable person to do this kind of thing, after the Beidi Fourth Road has just been recovered, even when the displaced people have become a disaster, there has never been a rebellion of the displaced people, all this is precisely because of the existence of Liu Keshi, a ruthless person, so he can use his thunder wrist to suppress those displaced people who began to ask for land after they were hungry.

And it is precisely because of this that after Yu Yunwen and Xin Qiji calmed down on Beidi Fourth Road, they began to intentionally or unintentionally want to put Liu Keshi, who was good at using high-pressure methods, aside for the time being, intending to settle the victims with a rather gentle strategy.

But now, with Liu Keshi not coming back, it is naturally not surprising that the thirteen counties have appeared again with such signs of riots under Ye Qing's quick success.

There are not many officials in the government office, and there is no one who can be in charge, otherwise, Ye Qing would not have started to fight King Qing for a short time.

The spring planting on Jingzhaofu Road has ended, and the people who are temporarily idle can naturally wait for the autumn harvest, while the displaced people who fled from the famine, after eating their stomachs, in the case of not being able to own land and houses, in the cement workshop of Chongguo Gong Zhao Shichun, are far from being able to provide more opportunities.

At this time, when they were bargaining with Hot Gongji and Li An'an, Ye Qing never wanted the old fox of Hot Gongji to find out that the Jingzhao Mansion at this moment was far from being as stable as they thought, after all, once they were aware of this, they would immediately arouse the careful thoughts and little insidious in their stomachs, and maybe they would take this opportunity to play a trick with Ye Qing in the open and in the dark.

After a few words of explanation to the two young officials, he then asked the two officials to ride horses under the protection of several soldiers of the flower family and began to rush towards Huayin County, where King Qing was located.

After discussing some things about the reconstruction of Chang'an with the only two remaining officials in the government office, the sky outside had unconsciously darkened, and the government office behind the lamp seemed even more deserted, even with a trace of strange silence.

But fortunately, the lively voices of people in the market outside somewhat diluted a trace of the unusual silence in the government office, and walked out of the government office and stretched out again, and at the corner of the street in front of the government office, a black shadow slowly stood not far in front of Ye Qing.

"Lord Ye has met the King of Zhenyi County today?" The voice of the hot Gongji sounded calmly.

"The Prime Minister is deaf and clear-sighted, and he knows it so quickly." Ye Qing approached with a smile, looking at the hot Gongji with a gray beard, standing under the dim light at the moment, looking a little lonely and lonely.

Hot Gongji sighed heavily: "I don't know Lord Ye, but you are still willing to appreciate your face and have a few drinks with the old man?" ”

"I'm in for a treat, and I didn't have dinner either." Ye Qing said as he searched on both sides of the street, and then took the hot and spicy Gongji, and did not pick and choose, he casually entered the restaurant based on mutton, found a secluded position, and sat down with the two.

Simple eating, simple two dishes of appetizers, plus a pot of wine, hot and spicy Gongji did not move his chopsticks much, but was very interested in wine, holding a small wine cup, watching Ye Qing gobble up, and he was unhurriedly pouring himself drink.

Putting down the small wine cup and looking at Ye Qing silently, he spoke in the noisy restaurant after a while: "Lord Ye is really simple, such a restaurant can also eat with relish, just like a delicacy." ”

"Aren't you the same, such a cheap wine, don't you also have one cup after another?" Ye Qing smiled and continued to gobble up.

Hot Gongji smiled without refuting, looked at Ye Qing with a lot of concern, and finally asked, "The old man took the liberty to come here today to want to know, how much sincerity does Lord Ye have?" ”

knocked on the small wine cup in front of him, poured wine for Ye Qing with a hot heart, watched Ye Qing drink it all, and said: "Then it depends on the sincerity of the Prime Minister, I, Ye Qing, am not a person who holds grudges, after all, there are no eternal friends and enemies in this world, only eternal interests, this sentence is in the territory of Jingzhao Mansion, which makes me even more convinced." ”

Hot Gongji naturally knew that Ye Qing was referring to the current situation of Jingzhao Mansion surrounded by enemies on three sides, all of them were offended, and naturally it was not beneficial to him, so whether it was Jin or Xia, or a Tatar, he needed one to be his ally for the time being.

"Lord Ye won't be guarding and stealing, right?" Hot Gongji asked such a question, completely because he was bitten by a snake and was afraid of the psychological shadow of the well rope for ten years, after all, although Guan Shan was not so lost, but after all, it was not too different, so he was naturally afraid, when he and Li An'an fought with Han Daochong and others for the position of emperor, he finally turned his head and found that Lanzhou Mansion had become Ye Qing's, and it would be worth the loss.

"Guarding Guanshan is enough for me, and I want to eat the ...... of Lanzhou Mansion." Ye Qing burped at the scene, patted his stomach and said, "I'm afraid I'll hold on." ”

"What about Su Dao and the others?" Hot Gongji asked with a smile, his expression did not seem a little relaxed because of Ye Qing's words.

"One hand to pay the money and one hand to deliver the goods, since then, the Song people and merchants are not allowed to collect taxes when they enter the Xia Kingdom, and all the taxes are collected by the Guguan, and similarly, the Xia merchants want to enter the Jingzhao Mansion to buy and sell, and the tax income is also collected by me." Ye Qing said unceremoniously.

Hot Gongji's hand holding the wine glass couldn't help but tremble, and the wine spilled on his thumb along the wall of the glass: "Lord Ye is not afraid to hold it up like this?" ”

"You have also seen the current appearance of Chang'an City, where is there still half of the scene of the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties? Although I have always had little ambition, I am extremely resolute in wanting to revive Chang'an and restore the majesty of the Han and Tang Dynasties. To put it bluntly, I need money now, and anyone's money now seems to me like my money, and I want to grab it and take it for myself. And now since I can't rob it, I need to use businessmen to help me create wealth, the prime minister treated me too harshly with the Song Dynasty businessmen, so I can't help it, in order to win the hearts of businessmen, so that they will willingly share the wealth they have earned to me, I have to fight for them first, and get justice. So I don't think it's too much, right? Ye Qing continued to pick and choose from the plate with chopsticks.

"It's not too much, if it is according to Lord Ye's request, then the King of Zhenyi County doesn't have to want to go any further, the old man will also persuade him, and avoid him from doing this is to replace ......." Hot Gongji continued to pour wine for Ye Qing.

Ye Qing interrupted Hot Gongji's words, looked at Hot Gongji's hand holding the wine jug frozen in mid-air, and said easily: "Is there a way back in this world?" There is only a point of no return in this world, especially for people like you and me, taking the road of turning back means ruining one's reputation and never recovering. Therefore, no matter how dangerous and difficult the road ahead is, we have to go hard and see if the results are really so unsatisfactory. The King of Zhenyi County and your lordship have already appeared in Jingzhao Mansion, which means that the prime minister is no longer able to turn back, even if you want to stop, will your emperor Li Chunyou agree? Will Li An'an bow his head and admit his mistakes? Shrinking your head is also death, and sticking out your head is also death, why do you think about turning back after you have already begun to embark on the road of usurpation? Have you turned back? ”

Hot Gongji put down his wine glass, quietly looked at Ye Qing, who was eating and drinking, and was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Can Lord Ye help Su Dao gain a firm foothold in Lanzhou Mansion, instead of just restraining Li Dezhi?" ”

"Add another one million taels, or rather, before Su Dao gains a firm foothold in Lanzhou Mansion, I will go first to search for it, so it must be more than one million taels of wealth, can the Prime Minister accept it?" Ye Qing asked unceremoniously, very decisively and simply, not giving the hot Gongji room to bargain at all.

"It's really not a loss to buy a land for one million taels, and Lord Ye's appetite is really good." Hot Gongji did not agree, nor did he refuse, but said with a little mockery.

"Ren Dejing back then, but I was a minister of the Great Song Dynasty, when your Great Xia Kingdom was imposing, you sent a daughter and offered the city and led the troops to surrender, the Prime Minister didn't think about it, my Great Song Dynasty was distressed, and the flesh hurt or not? After so many years, feng shui has taken turns, and you should have this awareness. Ye Qing said with the same mockery on the corner of his mouth.

"The old man still needs to think about it, how about discussing it with the king of Zhenyi County?" In the face of Ye Qing's aggressiveness, Hot Gongji didn't know how to refute it for a while.

In Ye Qing's heart, he may not regard himself as a Song minister at all, although he has always said that he was a minister of the Great Song Dynasty in life and a ghost of the Great Song Dynasty in death.

But Hot Gongji was still keenly aware that Ye Qing actually regarded himself as a ruler of the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties, and even ...... In Ye Qing's view, whether it is the Jin State or the Xia Kingdom, even the Tatars, or the Song Court behind him, it should actually be his, or at least it should be the Chinese nation, rather than the current situation of partition and rule, each in its own place.

"No problem, I have time recently, everyone is busy, I am more idle, not to mention that it is also to show respect for the Prime Minister and the King of Zhenyi County, even if I Ye Qing is a matter of urgency, I will put it down for the time being, and accompany the Prime Minister and the King of Zhenyi County without distraction." Ye Qing showed a mouthful of white teeth and said with an easy-going smile.

"How to deal with Sangkun, can Lord Ye give the old man a suggestion?" Hot Gongji shook his head and smiled bitterly, he felt that he needed to re-examine how big his ambitions were and how far his ambitions were that he had cultivated by Song Ting and created by Jin and Xia.

"A million ......." Ye Qing lowered his head and said.

"Lord Ye, it is most suitable for you to change your career to become a robber!" The wine cup in the hand of the hot Gongji slammed on the table and said angrily.

"Do you know how much Su Dao owes me?" Ye Qing didn't care about the anger of the hot Gongji, and poured a cup of it and said: "Temujin, the beggar Shilie gods and slaves, there is no shortage of wealth from the people of Khorezm, but I, Ye Qing, you can also see it clearly, I went to the Liao country empty-handed, and came back from the Liao country empty-handed, just because Su Dao was first embarrassed for me in Xiping Mansion, and then stopped directly in the Liao King City and no longer advanced and retreated together." That's more than a million taels of silver...... ”

"But don't forget, Su Dao was only worth 100,000 taels of silver two days ago." Hot Gongji leaned forward, and his gray beard was shaken by anger.

Ye Qing smiled disdainfully, leaned back comfortably on the back of the chair, and said lightly: "Su Dao is indeed only worth 100,000 taels of silver, this is still for you, for me, I think he is expensive for a penny." But don't forget, Prime Minister, you want to let Su Dao go back to the overall situation of Lanzhou Mansion, so one million is not too much. You know how tricky Sankun is, don't you? ”

Ye Qing didn't give Hot Gongji a chance to speak, and leaned forward from the back of the chair and said, "The reason why the Prime Minister found me, not because he found Temujin to talk about the covenant, is that he fell in love with me and the princess of Liao?" Now the king of the Southern Courtyard is stabbing in the heart, although he has a word with Su Dao first, but it is obvious that he is an old fox on par with you, once the court of your country changes, the Liao State may not be the one who stabbed the knife in the back, and I can also guarantee that let the princess of the Liao Kingdom restrain the Xiao Shuli thorn, and not give him the opportunity to stab your Xia Guo knife in the back, plus one to hand over Sang Kun to me, isn't it worth a million taels? ”

"You've decided to take over Sangquin?" Hot Gongji looked happy, he was eager to hurry up and send this plague god who would bring disaster to Xia Guo, and send it far away, it was best to never let him meet again.

"A million." Ye Qing clasped his hands on his chest, leaned back and said lightly.
