Chapter 416: Money Can Make Ghosts Grind (Ask for Subscription!) (Page 1/1)

…

The land east of the river, inside the mountains and rivers, is full of dangers, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The garrisons of Taiyuan Mansion and Daizhou constituted the first north-south longitudinal in-depth defense system on the Hedong Road.

And Taiyuan City is the core of this defense system.

As soon as Li Yanqin led the army here, he stopped moving, even if Zhao Ji repeatedly issued orders and urged, even if Xue Sichang, the envoy of Hedong Economic Strategy and the prefect of Taiyuan, came to ask for it several times, Li Yan was hesitant.

Some people may be puzzled, why didn't Li Yan move forward, was he afraid of war or did not dare to venture into danger?

Of course not, the reason why Yue Fei, Wu Jue and others were able to fight in front of them was completely due to Li Yan's presence in Taiyuan City.

In a war, it is not only the army that fights, but also grain, grass, baggage, weapons, and materials.

And in this era, it is very difficult to transport these things, otherwise Li Yan can take 60,000 people and use tens of thousands of horse-drawn carts and 20,000 rooster carts to transport grain, grass, baggage, weapons, and materials? And this is not counting the more than 20,000 people who were transported back and forth by the First Shui Army and Wu Luan who loaded the ship at Liangshan.

But even if Li Yan worked hard to mobilize the people, so far, even one-third of the grain, grass, baggage, weapons, and materials that Li Yan wanted to bring have not been transported to Taiyuan City.

And that's not all.

The most important thing is that Li Yan is not worried that his grain and grass baggage, weapons, and materials will go from the territory of the Song Kingdom, and he is worried that Zhao Jijunchen will stab him in the back and rob his grain and grass, weapons, and materials.

Don't think about it, Li Yan also knows that Zhao Ji Junchen is now eager for his rebellious ministers and traitors to be cut into meat sauce by the Liao people or the Jin people, so that there is one less confidant.

And as long as Li Yan's army is not locked in the clouds, no one dares to attack Li Yan's idea of grain, grass, baggage, weapons, and materials.

Therefore, if he does not find a safe place to settle in Yundi, and does not transport all the materials he wants to bring to Yundi, Li Yan will never leave Taiyuan City.

Just when Li Yan was about to die in Taiyuan City, Yue Fei's good news came back.

After Li Yan saw it, he was overjoyed!

More than one million stone grain, Li Yan really is not lacking, but the key is that this more than one million stone grain is already in the clouds, less trouble to transport, this is too rare, you know, there is no canal to the north of Taiyuan City, no matter what is transported, it has to be transported by people, quite laborious, to transport this million stone grain, 100,000 people have to be transported for more than a month, and this refers to the transportation from Taiyuan City to Yingzhou City.

What's more, Yue Fei also laid down Yingzhou City for Li Yan and found a place for Li Yan to settle down in Yundi.

Li Yan did not hesitate to praise: "Pengju fought a good battle, first defeated 10,000 Liaoguo horse army, and then defeated Yingzhou City in one fell swoop, playing the prestige of our Liangshan army and the prestige of our first army!" ”

Li Yan promoted Yue Fei, who had never fought a war, to serve as the acting commander, and let Yue Fei serve as the vanguard, so it was impossible for others to have no ideas.

Now, Yue Fei has proved that Li Yan's vision is still accurate, making those small words disappear completely.

Xu Guanzhong said: "It has been nearly two hundred years since the land of Yanyun was ceded to the Khitan, how can the people of Yandi and the Khitan emperor not have the relationship between the father and son of the monarch and the minister? If we want to gain a foothold in the land of Yanyun, we must have no offense against the people, and have a definite political opinion. ”

Li Yan thought so, then glanced at the crowd of scholars, and finally stopped his gaze on Liu Ziyu, and said, "Yan Xiu, come here." ”

When Liu Ziyu heard this, Yue Zhong stepped forward and bowed: "I don't know what the governor commands?" ”

Li Yan said: "I asked you to preside over Yingzhou, do you dare to accept this mission?" ”

When Liu Ziyu heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Liu Ziyu dares!" ”

Li Yan said: "Okay, but you have to remember the following points: 1. Don't disturb the people, if the soldiers disturb the people, they will be severely punished, no matter who it is." ”

Liu Ziyu responded: "Yes." ”

Li Yan said: "Second, Khitan, Bohai, Xi, and Hanmin, treat them equally, and don't engage in specialization. ”

Liu Ziyu responded: "Yes." ”

Li Yan said: "Third, we must respect the beliefs of all ethnic groups and do not interfere. ”

Liu Ziyu responded: "Yes." ”

Li Yan said: "Fourth, remember, we can't win the support of all strata, the foundation of our Liangshanbo is the ordinary people, so, in the public trial, don't be soft on those wealthy nobles with bad deeds, don't consider politics or other factors, of course, for those good wealthy nobles, we must also do nothing in the autumn, in addition, don't feel sorry for the grain and don't give food to the people because our food is not easy to come by, as before, regardless of men, women, old and young, regardless of Khitan, Bohai, Xi, Hanmin, as long as he is willing to want, and gave him two stones of grain. ”

Liu Ziyu responded very solemnly: "Yes." ”

“……”

“……”

Li Yan explained a lot to Liu Ziyu, and then gave Liu Ziyu enough officials, especially those with rich experience in public trials and grain distribution, and then asked a thousand horse troops to escort Liu Ziyu and others to Yingzhou.

As soon as Liu Ziyu walked on the front foot, Xue Sichang came to say congratulations on the back foot: "Congratulations to the Governor of Dadu for defeating the Liao army and defeating Yingzhou City!" ”

Li Yan doesn't go to Yundi, Zhao Ji can't sleep and eat, you must know that Li Yan has 200,000 troops in his hands, if he turns the gun and kills Bianliang in Tokyo, what should he do?

Therefore, Zhao Ji secretly ordered the western army to strictly defend it, and once Li Yan had the intention of going south, he decisively sent troops to stop Li Yan, and on the other hand, he kept urging Li Yan to go north, and Zhao Ji not only ordered it himself, but also asked Xue Sichang to ask for it every day.

Therefore, Li Yan knew that Xue Sichang did not come to Daoxi at all, but to beg him to go north.

Li Yan smiled: "Governor Xue is here to ask me when I will go north, right?" ”

Speaking of which, this Xue Sichang was very enthusiastic about the Northern Expedition to Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, he not only expressed his support for the Northern Expedition to Zhao Ji, but also ran back to the capital to meet Zhao Ji in person with the Liao spy report that he had processed and polished, "Discussing the Northern Affairs, Asking Xingshi, and Weeping", and he also entrusted Wang Ji, the minister of Daizhou, to "explore the gap of the Liao people and Chen to take the strategy".

Therefore, Xue Sichang still has a good impression of Li Yan.

Moreover, Xue Sichang knew that Li Yan did not deliberately stay in Taiyuan City and not leave, but because the grain, grass, weapons, and materials had not been transported, he could not leave.

Xue Sichang said: "The emperor's order is difficult to disobey, please forgive me." ”

Now that there is a place to stay, there is no need to drag Xue Sichang anymore, so Li Yan said very simply: "You help me hire 500,000 people, send my grain, grass, baggage, weapons, and materials to Yingzhou City, and I will set up troops to go north." ”

Li Yan finally agreed to leave, which made Xue Sichang's heart feel relieved!

However, when he heard that Li Yan asked for 500,000 people, Xue Sichang's face suddenly became bitter, and he said: "Don't be embarrassed by the governor, there are only 200,000 people in the entire Taiyuan City, where can I get you 500,000 people?" ”

Li Yan said: "I pay three times the salary, and pay first, and I will hand over all the money to the hands of the people, with such superior conditions, if you can't get me 500,000 people, you are incompetent, I can't say that I have to go to the official family to participate in you, in addition, my grain, grass, baggage, weapons, and materials are not all sent to Yingzhou City in a day, I will not leave for a day, you can do it yourself." Taiyuan City has a population of only 200,000, but there are still one or two million people outside Taiyuan City, and money can make ghosts grind, as long as no one embezzles from the middle, the people will definitely be willing to make this windfall.

Hearing Li Yan say this, Xue Sichang could only accept it, he couldn't let Li Yan participate in his "incompetence", and Zhao Ji was still waiting for him to take Li Yan away.
