Chapter 1197: Bullying
Li Jing did not stay in Taikang for long, but the impact on Yu Yunwen was huge, the old lady of the He family first lowered his head, not only retreated some encroached land, but also took the initiative to participate in the construction of water conservancy, according to the policy set by Li Jing, sent his son to Guanzhong, thousands of miles away, to be a small county.
Li Jing still has a positive attitude towards Taikang's drought resistance, although there is an old lady He, but after all, Taikang is so big, and the digging and construction of canals in some places has been carried out normally, which makes Li Jing feel a little happy.
"Calm down and do things seriously." When Li Jing was leaving, he patted Yu Yunwen on the shoulder, the young Yu Yunwen needs to deal with Old Lady He by himself, I believe that soon after, when Yu Yunwen grows up, he is definitely the legendary prime minister.
Li Jing's Luan drove continued south, but the influence of Taikang did not disappear, and even radiated to other places, some places saw Li Jing's decisiveness, even if it was against the place, at this time did not dare to slack off, the entire Jianghuai land, began to build water conservancy, ready to resist the coming drought.
In June, Li Jing's Luan arrived in Huai'an, Huai'an was hot, but Li Jing did not return to the north, but entered Huai'an City under the escort of Liang Zhong, on the one hand, this is Liang Hongyu's hometown, but also a return to his hometown, second, Qin Hui went north, I heard that Li Jing came to Huai'an, so he came to see Li Jing.
The war between the two Song Dynasty finally broke out, Jiangnan with Zhang Jun as the hand, Xiangyang with Zhang Xian as the head, and the army with Jiangzhou and Hongzhou as the center, launched a fierce battle, and the heritage of both sides was exhausted. Zhao Gou, who was in Lin'an, desperately looted everything among the people, and he also wanted to win this war.
Li Jing leaned on the recliner, wearing a thin shirt and holding a fishing rod in his hand, lying under the willow tree, swimming gracefully. The palace is just a rich businessman's tribute, to Li Jing to live temporarily, a typical Jiangnan garden atmosphere, Li Jing when he was bored, found that there was a lotus pond in the garden, so he simply fished in the shade of the pastime.
"Your Majesty, Qin Hui asks to see you." There was a sound of footsteps behind him, but it was Gao Zhanyu who reported.
"Let him come." Li Jing said casually.
"Foreign Minister Qin Hui has seen Your Majesty." After half a ring, there was a clear voice behind him, the voice was very magnetic, very good, it was Qin Hui.
"Find a pair of fishing rods for Lord Qin, and fish with me. On the iced sour plum soup, Lord Qin came from afar, and it was hard work. Li Jing looked at Qin Hui on the side, and said with a smile: "Lord Qin, sit." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The corners of Qin Hui's mouth showed a wry smile, that is, the young man in front of him, with a move, caused today's situation, although it has not been long since he entered the Tang Dynasty, but the situation in Datang can still be seen, between the Jianghuai and Huai, the drought has become a foregone conclusion, although Li Jing repaired water conservancy, but there are still some places that have not been taken into account, on a hot day, there are many people who are still carrying water for irrigation, this was originally the best time for the Northern Expedition of the Jiangnan Imperial Court, but now it can only fight with Xiangyang, and everyone has forgotten that there is a tiger around them.
"What? Qin Xiang is not in Jiangnan, he is sitting in Lin'an, transporting grain and grass, why did he come here? Li Jing knew it, but thinking of the food that was about to arrive, Li Jing was still very happy in his heart.
"Your Majesty went out of Bianjing and it took ten days to reach Taikang, but it only took five days to get from Taikang to Huai'an, and it was still by water, Your Majesty, you are eager to see the minister!" Qin Hui said suddenly.
"Haha, Qin Xiang is a smart person, I like to talk to smart people, you stayed in Jiangbei for five days, walked a lot of places, I believe I also know that I saw you in Huai'an, the messenger of Xiangyang has gone to Bianjing, naturally someone is there to receive you, this time I personally see you, what is the purpose, you also know, say it! How much food is Zhao Gou going to provide us? Li Jing laughed when he heard this, this Qin Hui is still a smart person, and he stayed near the canal for five days, obviously seeing the embarrassing situation that Li Jing is strong outside the country and has no food in the country, so he can't go south.
"Your Majesty also knows that the army is at war with the puppet emperor, the grain and grass are tight, it is impossible to extract more grain, and 200,000 stone is already the limit." Qin Hui's eyes rolled, and he hurriedly said, "What if!" ”
"If I send troops to Xiangyang, can I have more?" Li Jing saw through what Qin Hui was thinking, and immediately sneered: "Both of you bid the same price, do you think it is better for me to maintain the current situation, or to support your family?" Or, I forgot to tell you that I have prepared an army of 80,000, although the Tang family does not have much, but the army of 70,000 or 80,000 can still be prepared, how many troops do you still have in Jiangnan to defend against me at this time? How many soldiers and horses are there in Jiankang, I believe that I don't need to find out, I can guess it, against the Yue family's army, you can only have an advantage in numbers, Liu Qi, Zhang Jun, and Liu Guangshi are probably already on the line, so they can barely hold down the front, once I make a move with this 80,000 army, where else is Zhao Gou going to run? ”
Qin Hui's face suddenly turned unpleasant when he heard this, he had long known that this negotiation was very troublesome, but when it really happened, he knew that the negotiation was not an ordinary trouble, Li Jing had already occupied an absolute advantage, he was right, Mo said that it was an army of 80,000, even if it was 350,000 people, it would be able to change the fate of Jiangnan at a critical time.
"Your Majesty, if there is no grain and grass on our front line, and the soldiers are unstable, how can we deal with the Yuejia army, 250,000 stone grain and grass, this is already the limit, please Your Majesty for the sake of the people in Jiangnan, reduce it!" Qin Hui's face suddenly changed greatly, and he couldn't help but fall to his knees and say loudly.
"Qin Hui, is it interesting for you to say this in front of me? I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, not the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, what does the life and death of the people of the Southern Song Dynasty have to do with me? Li Jing's face changed drastically, and he said coldly.
Qin Hui was stunned for a moment, but soon understood the meaning of Li Jing's words, his eyes tightened, and there was infinite fear in his heart.
The more food Li Jing asked, whether it was Zhao Gou or Zhao Huan, in the case of insufficient food stocks, he could only ask for those ordinary people, which led to the reduction of Zhao's prestige in Jiangnan, the loss of people's hearts, and the people's hearts to Tang.
Very vicious. Qin Hui had a trace of resentment in his heart, but this was the case, whether it was Zhao Gou or Zhao Huan, there was no way to solve it, one was to die immediately, and the other was to die soon, Qin Hui could think of the choice between the two, the more so, Qin Hui felt a chill all over his body.
