In troubled times, some people sacrifice their lives for death for the country and the king, for example, Wen Tianxiang left a poem about who has not died since ancient times, and the famous sentence of Dan is tragic. There are also people who grovel and wag their tails like enemies begging for mercy, just willing to survive in the world, but like Qin Hui, they leave a reputation for eternity.

War is the most test of human nature, and human nature is worthless in the face of war. The good, evil, beauty and ugliness in the world will meet the scorching sun to the snow.

"Lord of the county order, great joy, great joy. The garrison has just repelled the Mongol attack."

A man dressed as a government official hurriedly ran to the county government and reported to Li Guang in detail with joy.

Li Guangshen was also smiling, but his heart was full of gloom, and he waved his hand to show the officials to go down first.

For the officials, it was good to have repelled an attack by the Mongols, but for Li Guangshen, it was just a tentative attack by the Mongols, and tomorrow would be the real beginning.

It's just that it's not good to express one's stance in front of the officials, I'm afraid it will affect the morale of the army and not be conducive to the army defending the city.

"Zhiyuan, you first go to the county government to peel some grain and grass, and send it to the city to encourage the army. Then come with me, and the Li family, the Zhang family, and the Wang family will go and borrow some money and grain."

Li Guang arranged for Xu Minghuai, the chief bookkeeper on the side, and at the same time planned to borrow some grain and grass from the rich merchants in the county, but Li Guangxiang knew that borrowing money and grain this time might not be so simple.

Xu Minghuai looked at Li Guangshen who was full of faces, and could only sigh softly.

As the so-called Zhumen wine and meat stink, there are frozen bones on the road.

Although Liangxiang is now surrounded by large armies, the lives of the wealthy merchants have not been affected in the slightest, that is, singing and dancing are prosperous.

Li Guangshen and Xu Minghuai, accompanied by several officials, came to Li Yadong, the largest wealthy businessman in the county. Accompanied by Li Yadong, he came to the house.

After a while, a table of good wine and good food were placed in the hall.

Although it is still a motive, the lobby of the Li Mansion is as warm as a summer day. Several stunning singers danced in the lobby in clothes as thin as cicada yarn. If you stare at it, you can see the white skin as white as snow through the clothes.

If this were to be placed in normal times, Li Guangxiang would be a little interested. It's just that now that the embankment is pressing, the murder knife is on the neck, and it is possible to give yourself a knife at any time, where is there any mood, watch these singers.

Although Li Yadong's eyes were staring at the dancing singer, his mind was all on Li Guangxiang, and he secretly glanced at it from time to time, and saw Li Guangxiang with a worried look on his face, although he knew what the county order was worried about, but he didn't name it, but followed the courtesan with interest and shook his head gently.

"Why don't the county magistrates not use the food and drinks, is it possible that it is not good to save the dishes or that these singers can't get into the eyes of adults"?

Of course, the identity is there, and Li Yadong does not dare to offend Li Guangxiang easily, after all, the county seat is still in the hands of Daming.

There was once a survey that said how are Chinese different from foreigners? In the end, many people answered a character.

Yes, the character of the Chinese is subtle. No matter what, you will beat around the bush and point out your intentions, rather than being as direct as foreigners.

It is precisely because of this difference between China and the West that some foreigners will hesitate to ask why Chinese call their sons dogs when introducing them.

Dogs? Dog son?

Li Guangshen is like this now, although he is a county magistrate, but at this time, he borrowed some grain and grass from Li Yadong, which is something to ask for, but he is a little embarrassed to speak.

can only absent-mindedly wait for Li Yadong to speak, so as to continue to answer. Now that Li Yadong is borrowed, he is naturally ecstatic.

"It's not like that, it's just that now that the enemy is pressing, I really don't have any thoughts."

Li Guangxiang sighed softly, revealing a hesitant look, and at the same time looked at Li Yadong.

"I thought I wasn't very well prepared, so the prefectural magistrate couldn't look at it. Now that I hear what the county magistrate says, I can put my mind at ease. Courier

As for the situation of the great enemy, I believe that the army will arrive in a few days, and there will be an adult in the Ministry of Merit in the future.

By the way, my lord, these singers belong to my careful care, so it's better for adults to pick a few and bring them back to the house to watch them, and it can also relieve the worries in my heart."

Li Yajun looked left and right, and did not answer Li Guangxiang's topic at all.

Li Guang saw Li Yadong in detail, but he didn't answer his topic at all, and he was also impatient in his heart, so he could only speak straightforwardly, and he didn't care about any face.

"Li family master, now that the army outside the city is pressing, although the defenders in the city are fighting bravely to kill the enemy, but the grain and grass are really insufficient, I hope that the Li family master can support some, and the Li family master will inevitably report the merits of the Li family master to the court in the future."

Hearing Li Guangxiang directly tell the reason for this time, Li Yadong looked embarrassed at this time.

"The county magistrate is not me Li Yadong is greedy for money, but it is really empty in the house now.

Since the entry of Jiannu, the county commander has closed the city gate, and now there are many people in my house, and the consumption of grain and grass is very huge.........".

After all, Li Guangshen was on the side of the encircler, how could he not hear what Li Yadong meant, and he couldn't help but show a dissatisfied look on his face.

"Now that the enemy is pressing the border, is it possible that the head of the Li family is planning to pull out a dime, once the city is breached, presumably the head of the Li family will not be alone."

When Li Yadong saw that the county order was in such a tone, he also knew that he was not pulling out a hair, and it was very likely that he would anger Li Guangxiang.

"What did the county magistrate say, I, Li Yadong, as a member of the good township, would not stand by, but now the mansion is really a little empty, so I will donate 500 stone of grain and 1,000 taels of silver to support the county magistrate."

Li Yadong had a loyal and patriotic expression, and his chest was thumping.

A few hundred taels for a meal, and a few thousand taels at a time in the Qinglou, but now he treats himself like a flower called a flower. Although Li Guangshen was very angry in his heart, he still had a smile on his face, stood up and waved at Li Yadong.

"Since the head of the Li family is really difficult, the county order is not too much, but the head of the Li family will send the promised materials to the county government as soon as possible, and the army will definitely be saved like fighting a fire, and there can be no delay for a moment, I still have a step in advance here."

Li Guangshen stood up, and after speaking, he turned around and left directly accompanied by Li Yadong.

Looking at Li Guangxiang who was gradually moving away, Li Yadong showed a sneer on his face, and casually spat on the ground next to him.

"What's that? I really thought that Lao Tzu was afraid of you, if it weren't for the great enemy pressing the realm now, Lao Tzu TMD wouldn't give you a penny, pit me for thousands of taels of silver, and give Lao Tzu a face."

After leaving, Li Guangxia did not return to Xianyang, but went to Zhang's Wang's house. It's just that the result is like being in Li Yadong's place, although he was warmly received, but as long as he talked about money and food, he cried poor one by one, if it weren't for his identity and the current great enemy, I believe that even thousands of silver and materials would not be taken out so happily.

"A group of people with a short eye of the rat, once the army breaks through the city, and thinks there is a way to live, but they just pity the people of my good country."

Li Guangxiang was really a little disheartened at this time, he really didn't expect that this group of Venerable Masters would be so short-sighted, and they all regarded wealth as their lives.

"And when each one is worth hundreds of thousands, I don't need to let you take much, each person donates 20,000 taels of silver, as well as some more grain and grass, and this official also has the ability to gather more people to defend the city, maybe he will hold out until the army rescues.

In the future, when meritorious deeds are rewarded, the official will be rewarded, and he will naturally help and wait."

As for Xu Minghuai, who was standing on the side, his face was cloudy and uncertain, as the head of the good township, he was naturally attracted by these wealthy businessmen on weekdays, and he received some benefits.

It's just that I really didn't expect this group of wealthy businessmen to be so short-sighted, and they only donated these money and food. Suddenly there was a burst of killing chickens on his face, after all, there was less money and food, and he couldn't mobilize more people to defend the city wholeheartedly, once the army broke through the city, he would naturally be unable to escape death, rather than this, it was better to kill the chicken and take the eggs.

As for surrender, although Xu Minghuai felt that he was greedy for money and lustful, he was not so shameless, and he would rather die in battle than do such a time to steal his life.

Thinking of this, Xu Minghuai said softly in Li Guangxiang's ear.

"My lord, since they are so ignorant of current affairs, it is better to ......."
