.. org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the Tang Dynasty Blood Blade!

Li Xiuning received the news that Du Gong had been captured, and it was already early the next morning.

After interrogation, Du Gong also confessed truthfully, but he was just a minion, Du Gong's name was Du Jingtong, and he was the son of Du Yan, a former Qin prince's soldier Cao who joined the army, and Du Yan, a bachelor of Hongwen Pavilion.

At the beginning, Chen Ying was because he was adhering to the mind of causing trouble to his family, and did not ask Du Jingtong to blame, who knew that he actually escaped from the Central Plains at the end of the seventh year of Wude, experienced nine deaths and a lifetime, and arrived in Fusang Datang, and was appointed by Li Shimin as a Zhongshu Sheren and named the Duke of Dongyang County.

This assassination incident was led by Du Jingtong, who infiltrated the Central Plains.

Li Xiuning was very angry, and the consequences were serious.

And then someone is going to be unlucky.

First of all, under the instruction of Li Xiuning, the Zuo Min Department of the imperial court announced this year's grain output and the stock of Changping warehouse. As a result, due to the Goguryeo War of the imperial court, the stock of Changping's warehouse was reduced, and it was necessary to replenish the grain of Changping.

As soon as this news was announced, the price of grain in Guanzhong rose in response, and immediately afterwards, the imperial court introduced a new policy, because the grain stocks in the official warehouses were greatly reduced, so it was necessary to strengthen the control over the sales of rice, rice, flour, potatoes, sweet potato starch, and other products, so as to reduce the outflow of grain.

The people of the world agreed with both hands on this move, because the imperial court was fighting with Goguryeo, and the Xue Yantuo people who listened to the Yudu soldiers rebelled, and it was an inevitable fact that they increased troops to the Protectorate of Anbei to quell the rebellion. It's better to hide the food in order to prepare for the possible year of famine.

At this time, the grain in Guanzhong canceled the original grain delivery, and would rather pay a huge amount of liquidated damages than carry out physical delivery.

Guanzhong, in fact, is the most industrialized area in Datang except for Anxi, Datang's production capacity of 50 million catties of steel, as well as the production capacity of millions of sets of armor and blades, are concentrated in Guanzhong, not to mention that there are two or three hundred thousand troops, according to incomplete statistics, the population of the entire Guanzhong who need to buy food to eat, exceeded two million people.

Based on the price of three liters of rice per person per day, this figure will be about 8 million stones, and with the grain that needs to be replenished for a long time, it is estimated that the food deficit will be 15 million stones, or even more.

The entire Guanzhong immediately panicked, especially the common people, who immediately took out their savings and rushed to buy grain, and the price of grain soared rocketing. The major grain stores are not fools, and they know that the opportunity is coming when they see this momentum, and they have said that the grain has been sold out, closed their doors, and at the same time went to the towns and villages to buy grain and hoard it, ready to do a big job.

Then, the familiar routine came: the people who were completely panicked took that little savings and begged their grandfather and grandmother everywhere to buy some food, and most of the grain shops were closed for business, but they were changing all the time, teaching you how to be a man every minute!

Soon, desperate people discover that their monthly income is not enough to buy a bag of brown rice.

In just over 10 days, the food crisis has swept all major cities in Guanzhong, and more and more people are short of food, and there are fewer and fewer grain stores that are still open.

Barely bought a little grain, but also moldy, but also seeped at least two percent of sand, without sifting at all, you can't eat at all, just like this kind of grain is still priceless, some people are popular but want to talk to the grain merchant theory, people directly threw out a sentence: "Love to buy, don't buy!" ”

There's not even a place to reason.

The price of salt and oil has also skyrocketed, and even potato flour, which has always been known for its low price, has risen to the point of 500 yuan a stone, not to mention rice and wheat, which are like a mad dog, flying and biting.

The grain merchants in Guanzhong have just recovered from the last battle of grain famine in Guanzhong, and seeing such a good opportunity, they have added fuel to the fire, trying every means to create panic and raise grain prices, and at the same time they are doing everything possible to find food sources, no matter how high the price is, as long as there is grain.

The wool is out of the sheep, how much did they spend when they bought it, and those poor ghosts have to double it back when they buy grain, what are they afraid of?

Two months later, it was time for the green to be scarce.

The price of grain has risen to ten yuan of silver and one stone, and the people of Guanzhong are almost jumping into the river. At this price, they can't afford to sell their children and daughters! The profiteers felt that it was almost over, and with an order, the major grain shops opened, and the food supply was finally restored, but the people of Jiangnan were already desperate, even if the food supply was restored, they couldn't afford it!

However, after the grain market reopened, the situation was a little strange. In order to deal with the old grain in Anxi over the years, all merchants who deliver grain to Guanzhong will be subsidized with three yuan per stone of grain, which will be deducted from the transportation costs.

In this way, the cost of grain transported by Anxi to Chang'an is only a pitiful fifty yuan per stone, which is almost equivalent to giving it away for nothing.

The key is that there is too much grain in Anxi, and even if you work hard to make wine, the price is still about ten yuan per bucket.

Originally, the cost of transportation restricted the circulation of grain, but now that this barrier has been removed, the merchants began to send grain to Guanzhong when they heard the news. However, the transportation capacity of the train is amazing, even if half of it is used to load other goods, each car can still transport up to 10,000 stone of grain. The cost of this 10,000 stone of grain, plus the transportation costs, is only 1,500 guan in total, and compared with the price of 10 guan per stone in Guanzhong, you can earn 60 or 70 times more when you change hands.

Just as Marx's "Capital" said, capitalists can take risks for the sake of 50 percent profits, and dare to trample on any laws in the world for the sake of 100 percent profits. With a profit of 300 percent, they dare to risk going to the gallows.

But now, stimulated by sixty or seventy times the profit of grain, the merchants completely ignored the warning of the clan gatekeepers, and they moved when they heard the wind and desperately transported the grain from Anxi to Guanzhong.

As train after train loaded with grain was transported to the railway station in Anhuafang, Chang'an City, the price of grain in Guanzhong plummeted.

As for the sharp drop in grain prices, the people of Guanzhong raised their hands in favor, after all, no one knows what the grain harvest will be in the coming year, and anyway, the grain price is low, so they can also take the opportunity to buy some and save it.

The grain merchants in Guanzhong are actually the nobles of Guanlong and the lords of the world's clans, only they will own countless lands and a large amount of grain, and as the price of grain plummets, they also began to be anxious.

Seeing that there is enough rain today, a bumper harvest is inevitable, and their backlog of grain is enough, if Anxi grain occupies the Guanzhong grain market, what awaits them will be a dead end.

At the most critical moment, a huge piece of news came. After three months of bloody battles, General Andong and Li Shiji, the protector of the Protectorate of Andong Prefecture, conquered Pyongyang City, captured more than 1,600 people of Gao Jianwu and princes and nobles, and surrendered the whole country of Goguryeo.

According to Chen Ying's previous proposal, Li Shiji established the four towns of Andong Protectorate and directly incorporated Goguryeo into the Tang Dynasty.

This shock has not yet relieved the people of Guanzhong, and as a result, another tsunami-like news came again, Songtsen Gampo led more than 50,000 people to swear against the Tang Dynasty at the foot of Namco Mountain.

As a result, due to the loud roar of the rebels, it caused an avalanche, and more than 50,000 rebels, without spending a single soldier of the Tang Dynasty, were all buried alive at the foot of Namco Mountain, and the Tang soldiers spent more than a month to finally dig it out, but all of them became ice sculptures.

As the weather warmed up, in order to prevent Li Jiancheng from becoming angry, the soldiers of the Anxi Protectorate only needed to make Songtsan Gampo into bacon and transport it back to Chang'an.

As for the most fatal blow to the grain merchants in Guanzhong, the more than 30,000 troops under the command of Bazhuo attacked Yinshan, preparing to arrive at Guanzhong Koubian along the Yinshan Trail.

Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, who was originally unknown in the Tang Dynasty, led 30,000 Tang soldiers to set up an ambush in Yinshan, and after three days and three nights of fierce fighting, he commanded 70,000 rebels, more than 50,000 people were killed, and more than 10,000 surrendered, as for where did the other more than 10,000 people go?

In response to that sentence, dust to dust, soil to soil, they are like spring mud, caring for the grass of the Yinshan grassland.

To add insult to injury, the imperial court announced a fatal news at this time. It turned out that the director of the newly established audit department was an old and dizzy old official, because he had read the wrong figures in the statistics and had omitted to count the 6 million stone grain that had been closed for a long time.

The imperial court must resolutely deal with such dereliction of duty officials, and will never tolerate it, this official was dismissed and investigated, and even Xu Jingzong in Bibu Langzhong was fined 500 catties of copper because of statistical errors.

Five hundred catties of copper coins sounds like a lot, but in fact there are not many of them. The money has always been about seven catties, so five hundred catties is more than seventy catties, I am afraid that a high-class prostitute in the north of Chang'an City will have an appearance fee of more than this price.

Food prices have plummeted, and people have instead watched in the hope of buying cheaper food. The people of Guanzhong were a false alarm, and they didn't say anything except to try to spare money to buy more food. Guanzhong Grain Merchant ...... No, to be precise, the gate valve of the Guanzhong clan also didn't say anything, they were all vomiting blood, where could they still speak!

This grain turmoil lasted only two months, but it caused the Guanzhong clan and grain merchants to lose more than 20 million yuan of grain, although the common people were apprehensive about the crazy grain prices, and the rich merchants who lost their pants in the hoarding were wailing, and now it was their turn to reason and they couldn't find a place.

On the bank of the Weishui River, from time to time, you can see a few rich men wearing Lingluo silk and satin, and the well-dressed rich men cry for a while on the riverside, laugh for a while, and when they see the surging river, they close their eyes and jump directly into it.

They're all crazy!

There is no way not to be crazy, in the two-month food turmoil, these guys who have always been accustomed to making money and making black money first became rich overnight, and then the wealth disappeared overnight, and they also owed a lot of debts, their wives were separated, and their families were bankrupt, where can these guys who love money like their lives afford such a blow!

When they learned that they were completely a fish in the game, especially when they bought the grain frantically in the second month, the price was six or seven, and finally the price of grain fell back to fifteen wen per bucket.

A stone of grain net loss of six or seven times, they do not vomit blood is a strange thing, many black-hearted grain merchants and stock speculators immediately went crazy, wearing that gorgeous clothes to swagger through the market, crying and making a fuss, throwing into the river, hanging the hanging, for a time the tragedy of the destruction of the family occurred frequently, those beautiful Weishui River from time to time floating a few corpses, and there were one or two corpses on the trees by the river and dangling like grouse hanging under the eaves, with a bit of horror atmosphere!

"Plop ......"

Another person jumped into the river, but in the canopy boat in the Weishui River, the man sitting on the deck did not even lift his head.

Guo Luo pushed Zhou Qing beside him and said, "How many are there today?" ”

"Not much, only thirty-one!"

Zhou Qing spat at the rich merchant who fell into the river, and scolded angrily: "You deserve it! ”

looked at Chen Ying, who was sleeping soundly on the deck.

Guo Luo made a silent gesture.

This war without gunpowder, from the beginning to the end, was actually masterminded by Chen Ying behind the scenes.

At this moment, another awning boat slowly approached.

Wei Zheng jumped from the canopy boat.

Chen Ying still seemed unconscious.

This time, I'm really afraid that Chen Ying will be scared. He was in a coma for three days and three nights in a row, but thanks to Sun Simiao's use of blood transfusion, Chen Ying was brought back to life.

However, Chen Ying's body seems to have hurt his vitality, he is very afraid of the cold, and he doesn't like the stove, but likes to bask in the sun.

Only by living and breathing in the sun can Chen Ying feel like a person.

Wei Zheng arched his hand towards Chen Ying, sat in the cabin as if no one was around, and poured himself a plate of vinegar celery on the table.

Wei Zheng smiled: "General, when will you be willing to return to the dynasty?" ”

Chen Ying finally moved: "I'm alive, so many people don't feel at ease, it's better to let me die!" ”

"The food war has made them feel the problem!" Wei Zheng shook his head and said: "Later, they stopped in time, according to their greedy nature, ten times per stone is not the peak at all, such an example of fighting rice and ten thousand dollars, it has happened many times in Guanzhong!" ”

Chen Ying got up and looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Your real opponent is here!" ”

"Who?"

"Guess what?"

"Fang Mou Du Xuan?" Wei Zheng suddenly realized: "Du Ruhui, he's back?" ”

Chen Yingdao: "Of course, he is the only person who is so decisive!" ”

Wei Zheng's eyes flashed with excitement and said, "Interesting, really interesting!" Only by having a good fight with him can you live this life in vain! ”

Chen Yingdao: "That's your business, pass a word to Your Majesty for me!" ”

"Don't pass it on, you have to say it yourself!"

"Don't see you anymore!" Chen Ying smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect him to be so fragile and white-headed overnight!" ”

"And that's not because of you!"

Wei Zheng said angrily: "The prince is nineteen years old, and he still needs you to take care of it!" ”

"Alright, don't be tempted!" Chen Yingdao: "I want to be a minister who cares for life, will you rest assured?" ”

Wei Zheng smiled embarrassedly and said, "Your Majesty had a dream yesterday!" ”

"Oh!" Chen Ying responded.

Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty had a very strange dream, Your Majesty saw a very strange scene in the dream, in Xuanwumen, he dreamed that he was ambushed and was shot to death by Li Shimin with a bow, and Cheng Zhijie waved his knife and cut off his head......"

"You don't really believe it, do you?" Chen Ying was already shocked into a cold sweat in his heart.

Li Jiancheng's dream is the most real thing that happened in history.

Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "Fang Xuanling told me about the plan of the Tiance Mansion......

Chen Ying said coldly: "Seven years have passed, is it still important?" ”

"Very important!" Wei Zheng's sharp eyes looked directly at Chen Yingdao: "Tiance Mansion is worried that I will stir up the situation, see through their scheme, and order Ling Jing to cheat me out, so I have become a spectator in Xuanwu Gate, but you have become the winner or loser, Fang Xuanling said, there are some things that Wei Chigong doesn't know at all, the highest level in the East Palace in Tiance Mansion is Wei Chigong, how do you know Li Shimin's detailed plan, and counteract all his plans?" ”

Chen Yingdao: "Does it still make sense to say this now? ”

Wei Zheng said: "Can you really predict the prophet? ”

Chen Yingdao: "What do you say? If you go and ask Li Shiji, ask Li Ji, and see if the two of them can deduce Li Shimin's plan, is it difficult? ”

Wei Zheng was speechless.

Chen Ying waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't talk nonsense to me, tell me your intentions!" ”

Wei Zheng said solemnly: "Your Majesty is ready to follow the example of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, build Lingyan Pavilion, and set up twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion!" ”

Chen Yingdao: "Then what? ”

Wei Zheng continued: "You are the head of the twenty-four meritorious heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion, the king of Anxi of the Tang Dynasty, and Chen Qian inherited the title!" ”

Chen Ying continued: "And then? ”

Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, I am ready to change the system of the twelfth lord of the Tang Dynasty and rank General Sima as the first rank." ”

Chen Ying's expression was still cold: "You know, I don't care about this, now we still have a fierce battle to fight, Li Shimin's temptation has ended, and now we will start to move seriously." Take out the decree! “

Wei Zheng took out a holy decree from his arms, unfolded it, and there was not a word on it. However, the jade seal, Shangshu, Zhongshu, and Menxia provinces signed and pledged on this holy decree, all of which are complete, which means that no matter what Chen Ying writes on this holy decree, this is a legitimate holy decree.

Chen Ying picked up the pen and picked up the pen immediately.

Wei Zheng looked at the holy decree written by Chen Ying and was surprised.

Li Jiancheng successively gave Chen Ying two blank holy decrees.

However, these two holy decrees were all paid by Chen Ying for his subordinates, and this holy decree was only given to a small lieutenant named Xue Rengui as the general of the town army.

Wei Zheng was puzzled, could it be that this Xue Rengui was also Chen Ying's illegitimate son?

Of course, Chen Ying did not explain.

Chen Yingdao: "Let the sailors assemble in Qu County!" “

"Where are you going to take the sailor?"

"Fuso!"
