As soon as Zhang Yuan and the others heard it, they understood that the matter was not trivial, and there must be an extraordinary reason for Yu Zhongwen to make such a decision; Li Weijie continued: "The general has been in Gaochang for more than a year, and has made a detailed understanding of the situation in Gaochang, and after several years of hard work by Yang Chong and Fang Xuanling, Gaochang's ripe fields have grown from more than 16,000 mu to 42,000 mu. ”

Gaochang's ripe fields have two seasons a year, and the spare barren fields should be about the same number as the ripe fields, one season a year, Yu Shinan wondered: "This is a good thing, isn't it always said that Shanshan is short of grain?" ”

Li Weijie shook his head and said: "Fang Xuanling refused to provide food to Shanshan, and there is indeed no excess grain in the granary. After the general's investigation, it was found that nearly 10,000 acres of ripe acres came from the change of grape fields and sheep grazing land, and the grain was all ordered to Yiwu County by the Turpan Commercial Bank and the Shi clan, and the Turpan Commercial Bank and the Shi clan paid the rent and the cost of changing the fields, provided cattle and farm tools, and enjoyed three years of grain, and this year is the second year. ”

"Reasonable." Yu Shinan didn't feel abnormal, and replied casually, Zhang Yuan and Zhuge Ying's expressions became a little strange; Yu Shinan and Yu Shiji are completely different people, one is addicted to the sea of books, the other is exquisite, Wei Xuan sighed: "This shows that Yang Chong's plan only takes three years, this year Zhangye and other places have this situation, Yang Chong controls the wine business, Gaochang, Wuwei, Zhangye, Dunhuang grape cultivation area has dropped by three percent, Cui Zhen said that it will drop by three percent next year." ”

Wei Jin, the head of the household department, took over the conversation and said: "In addition, the Governor's Office of the Western Regions has limited the number of sheep raised in the six counties of Gaochang, Yiwu, Dunhuang, Zhangye, Wuwei, and Momo, and would rather subsidize the purchase from Qinghai County and the Turks. In addition to tens of thousands of displaced people and Hu farmers who have been reformed by Yang Chong, they have reclaimed a total of 90,000 mu of grain fields this year, and even if they are all harvested in one season, the grain shortage will be eliminated after the autumn harvest, and prices will plummet. Chang'an paid 1 million guan for the trade war, and the estimated loss was around 400,000 guan. ”

Zhang Yuan understood that 400,000 guan was just something on the books, and the remaining 600,000 guan was still in Hexi, whether he could get it back was another matter, plus the money spent on lobbying Yang Chong's subordinates to betray was definitely a terrible number; Wei Xuan: They want the wool to come out of the sheep, and let those people in the Western Regions find a way. Zhang Yuan asked Wei Xuan with a smile: "Duke Wei wants General Yu to find a way to fill this gap?" ”

Wei Xuan didn't squeak, and Gu Biao whispered: "Yu Zhongwen was originally in charge of the Western Regions, and his son Yu Qintao has earned hundreds of thousands of yuan this year. ”

Zhuge Ying suddenly had a little urge to scold, Yu Qintao made hundreds of thousands of yuan in business, what does it have to do with his Lao Tzu, no wonder Yang Chong was forced to embark on the road of confrontation by these people. Zhang Yuan's mind was much darker than Zhuge Ying's, and he immediately understood why Yin Shishi and the others were not there, and asked: "Does Duke Wei think that General Yu is enriching his own pockets and helping Yu Qintao to collect money?" ”

Zhuge Ying and Yu Shinan suddenly realized, staring at Wei Xuan motionlessly. Yu Zhongwen is not an ordinary general, in the current Great Sui, only Yuwenshu and Lai Hu'er can compete with Yu Zhongwen for confidence, so when Yang Guang went east to Goguryeo for the second time, Yu Zhongwen came out of prison and mercilessly refused the invitation of the center. After Li Jing's death, he took the initiative to go to the Western Regions to recapture Qinghai County, and has been holding Yang Chong back.

Wei Xuan said with difficulty: "There is no evidence in this matter, but people's words are terrifying. ”

After Yang Xuangan's rebellion began, Wei Xuan killed tens of thousands of so-called suspects in Guanzhong, and he had already been a lot of money, and Zhang Yuan didn't believe that Wei Xuan would have scruples in public opinion at all. Zhang Yuan said without yin or yang: "Duke Wei, what did you do in Chang'an, the Son of Heaven is being investigated, and it is not your style to be afraid of people's words." ”

Wei Jin said in time: "When we invested 500,000 yuan, we were ready to stop the trade war, but Fan Zigai Fan insisted in a letter, and Wei Gong also wanted to help Fan Da. Wei Gong did not mean to blame the general, but the general took the initiative to take responsibility, because with the crazy growth of the output of Yiwu and Jiuquan Iron Works, as long as Yang Chong traded with the Turks, there would be no shortage of war horses. ”

Zhang Yuan nodded, this is understandable, Fan Zigai and Wei Xuan are both staunch supporters of the Son of Heaven, Yu Zhongwen is a conservative, half an outsider, and losing the car is the basic means of politicians. Zhuge Ying smiled and said: "Wei Shilang, you mean that Yang Chong now has food, iron tools, and war horses, and the rebellion is just around the corner, and Yu Zhongwen resigned for fear of being coerced into the ranks of the rebellion. ”

Jiang is still old and spicy, Zhuge Ying is old and cunning, and Wei Xuan and others were dumbfounded when he said a paragraph; Wei Jie laughed dryly, and raised his glass on behalf of Wang Yang Yu and said, "This king respects all my lords, after drinking this glass of wine, I still ask Lord Li to continue to explain General Yu's report." ”

Although the acting king Yang Yu is young, his identity is here, and he sits in Chang'an for his grandfather Yang Guang, and if he does not respect Yang Yun, he does not respect Yang Guang. Everyone raised their glasses one after another, made a drunken appearance, put down their wine glasses, and no one moved chopsticks to eat, waiting for Li Weijie to speak.

Li Weijie stood up and said: "General Yu has compiled the establishment, equipment, and training methods of the Gaochang army, and the two generals, Zhang Jin and Yin Shishi, have seen it and are deeply convinced, and they are now experimenting with the feasibility in their own army. General Yu Zhongwen estimated that if you want to solve Yang Chong by force, the most important thing is to be in Hexi, at least 200,000 elite soldiers. Zhang Yuan's nerves jumped, at least 200,000, then a little more than 300,000, isn't it similar to attacking Goguryeo?

Wei Xuan looked at Zhuge Ying and asked, "Lord Zhuge , you are Yang Chong's senior uncle, do you say that Yang Chong will be opposed?" ”

Zhuge Ying said mercilessly: "If a person thinks too much about something, he will turn that thing into reality." Wei Xuan, you and Yang Chong used to have a bad relationship, you don't know who he is? Although I don't know the reason for your change of attitude towards Yang Chong, there must be something strange in it, you say, how can I guess you? ”

Wei Jie and the others were all moved, it was impossible for Yang Chong and Zhuge Ying to be without correspondence, after experiencing so many things, the two would definitely mention Wei Xuan, and there would be no other story in it. Wei Xuan's face turned red, and he asked, "What nonsense is that kid, Lord Zhuge can't say anything to people." ”

Zhuge Ying looked at a donkey cart pulling goods in the distance and walked forward leisurely, sighed and said: "Yang Chong didn't guess the reason, during the chaos last year, he just said that once Yang Xuangan defeated Chang'an, Yin Shishi and Gu Yi were likely to die in battle. ”
