"What does Chang Anhou think about this?"

When I don't call Cai Xiaozi, I think this is a formal discussion of political affairs, Cai Cong shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "This matter should not be asked Benhou, now I am not in charge of the army, only in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, if you need weapons and grain and grass for the war, then it is appropriate to ask me again." ”

Cai Cong's businesslike turn made the bigwigs frown, obviously very dissatisfied with this answer. Although the Yangzhou Navy was held by Hou Junji, what is the difference between Fusang and your private army?

"The Marquis of Chang'an is serious, if the imperial court Tuguhun then the supply of grain and grass will naturally give priority to the northwest, and Fusang will naturally be delayed." Fang Xuanling said pointedly, there are too many things to consider in a big war, and they can't ignore the feelings of Cai Cong and the Fusang army.

"If I'm not mistaken, this Fusang hasn't asked the court for grain and grass for a year and a half, and the army is self-sufficient and doesn't need to be supplied at all."

Cai Cong said a little unhappily, the only thing that the Fusang army needs the court to do is to distribute the general's salary to the military family every month, Fang Xuanling means that he wants to delay the general's salary.

"Naturally, I don't have to worry about grain and grass, but I'm afraid that the payment of this military salary will be delayed for three months. Although the imperial court has increased its taxes greatly in the past two years, it has also spent more, so it is said that the construction of city walls on the frontier and major cities is a huge expenditure. If there is too much money needed to fight a war, the military salary on Fusang's side is millions a year, but according to the old man's opinion, the payment is still delayed, and the tax from Taiyuan and Yangzhou will be sent before making plans. ”

Fang Xuanling talked eloquently, the imperial court has so many taxes a year, but it spends a lot, almost the same as income.

Therefore, in the past few years, the people from Li Shimin to Li Min have become rich, but the poor treasury often needs to borrow from the eldest grandson.

"Since the treasury is so tight, then Ben Hou also put forward an opinion, the elements of each family in Fusang should not receive it in the past few years, and they should support the country!"

Cai Cong said indifferently, Fang Xuanling's faces were immediately ugly, and they felt that Cai Cong was threatening them.

"The Marquis of Chang'an will cut off everyone's money at every turn, aren't you afraid that one day you will be attacked by a group?" The eldest grandson Wuji said coldly, it was the brother-in-law's business if he was unhappy, and the money still had to be collected.

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid. But I'm even more afraid that the 100,000 troops of Fusang will be wronged, if they are cold, I will talk like a fart in front of them, and the most dangerous thing at that time will be Yangzhou. Which of you can afford it? ”

Cai Cong said lightly, if 100,000 Predators go up the canal, this great river and mountain will probably be shattered.

"Is Chang'anhou threatening?"

Wei Zheng patted the table and asked, and the other people's faces were also ugly. Cai Cong shook his head in disappointment, these people only took care of the interests of the same class from beginning to end, and what Cai Cong said was a betrayal for them.

"Decide for yourselves! Now Ben Hou is just a petty official of the Ministry of Works, and he has no right to interfere in such military affairs. ”

Cai Cong said lightly, but there was a sadness in his heart, the silver on the street was piled up, but these people were still thinking about taking money out of the hands of the fighting man.

"In that case, we will discuss this matter with Your Majesty on our own. Chang'an Hou Fujia is really enviable in the world, and sometimes he should learn to retreat bravely, otherwise he is afraid that there will be a catastrophe. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji stood up on his knees as he spoke, Cai Cong just took it as the wind in his ears, picked up the teapot and made tea for the others, and everyone got up together and bowed their hands to Cai Cong and turned their heads to leave.

Only Cai Cong was left with an expressionless face rushing to the tea, so unspeakably lonely, the cake was too big, there were too many people to eat, not everyone had the courage to redistribute it like him.

The eldest grandson Wuji and his entourage left Dongdajie and went directly to the palace to face the saint, and when they came out, their faces were extremely ugly, and Li Shimin did not agree with them to move Fusang's military salary, as for Li Shimin's private money, all the money was thrown into the Lianghu area, and it would be impossible to get the money.

But Tuguhun can't fight it, Li Shimin asked them to find a way to pick out some of them from other places, which makes them worried, where to find money?

A few days later, Fang Xuanling and Tang Jian went to Cai Cong's door again, they had no choice, the money in the household department was a radish and a pit, where could they get millions of taels from?

"I'm afraid you didn't come to me to borrow money, right?"

In the living room, Cai Cong asked directly, not saying any polite words to them at all.

"Chang'an Hou Shuangzhi, I came to the door today because the court wants to borrow three million taels of silver from you, and return three million and 3.3 million taels of silver in three months, I don't know what you think?"

Tang Jian asked with apprehension, although he didn't know why, he always felt that Cai Cong would not come up with such a sum of money.

"I'm really sorry for the two of you, although Ben Hou has the heart, but such a large sum of money, Ben Hou can't take it out at all." Cai Cong spread his hands and said very calmly, Fang Xuanling's eyes were cold.

"You took all those copper coins away a few days ago?"

There was uncontrollable anger under his calm tone, Cai Cong was not a stupid person, he should know that the court could not take out the money and might borrow it from him, but he still shipped the money away.

"Press, as the caravans from all over the country are gone, the money was originally transferred, so it naturally needs to be sent back."

Cai Cong said as a matter of course, Fang Xuanling pointed at Cai Cong and was speechless. Cai Cong said with a slight smile: "It's just three million, Ben Hou doesn't have it in his hands, don't you have it in your hands?" It's the same when you take it out. ”

"You said lightly, who in this world wants you to be so rich? If you want them to take out the money to make money, and if you want them to take out the money and lend it to the court, it is as difficult as the sky, and they are afraid that the money will go and there will be no return. ”

Tang Jian said angrily, taking the money and putting it in the treasury is in the eyes of many nobles, it is meat buns and beating dogs.

"Then Ben Hou can't help it, if it doesn't work, just wait! The taxes from Yangzhou and Taiyuan were delivered three months later, and it will be the same when the time comes. ”

Cai Cong said indifferently, and Fang Xuanling stared at him deadly. The military plane is fleeting, and if the Tuyuhun unites and forms an alliance three months later, then Datang will be in danger.

"You don't want to do anything to Tuyuhun at this time. You want to wait for them to join forces before raising their butcher knives and slaughtering them. Have you thought about the consequences? At that time, the whole world will be enemies, and if you don't pay attention to this world, you will be ruined. ”

Fang Xuanling suddenly scolded irritably, he thought of an extremely terrifying possibility, when Cai Cong had a conflict with the family, he said that he would rather let the family rise up, and then annihilate them all.

At that time, Cai Cong was scolded by the emperor for being bloody, but the situation in front of him was so similar to that time, it was just that the object was replaced by a group of barbarians.

And what Cai Cong hasn't changed over the years is that he likes to cut through chaos quickly and takes risks, so he doesn't care that the world may be in chaos, he just wants to kill all these disobedient people when everyone is against Tang.

I'm afraid this is not only for the barbarians, but also some people in China who may have evil intentions are also in his plan. Thinking of Fang Xuanling gasping for air, Cai Cong's game of chess is too big, and if there is a problem in any place, it will be a loss in the whole game!
