Chapter 382: Western Liangxing (14)

Luo Yi said: "Of course I won't help anyone, it's not good to help anyone." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"The Luo family has been loyal for generations, how can I rebel, and now I want to marry the king of Xiliang, of course, I can't help Li Shimin fight Xiliang, besides, I'm afraid that even if I want to fight, I won't have that chance."

"But..."

"But what?" Wang Buchao asked.

Luo Yi sneered: "Hehe... It's nothing, it's just that I promised the king that on the day of the wedding with Qiao'er, I will take out 100,000 loads of grain and grass as a bride price, and I don't know if it is right with the court. ”

Wang Buchao laughed and said: "You are a person, you want to be a good person, but you continue to do bad things, how can there be such a good thing in the world, in the eyes of others, it is not a bride price." ”

Luo Yi sighed and said: "Yes, in the future, between Li Shimin and Datang, I am afraid that there will be even more misunderstandings that cannot be resolved, and they will become enemies." ”

Wang Buchao said: "What if you turn against your eyes and become enemies, are you still afraid that he won't succeed?" ”

"Li Shimin is a hypocrite, he will do anything for the sake of profit, if I were you, I would give him some color, lead the troops back to Chang'an, and let him know what regret is!"

Luo Yi smiled bitterly, Wang Buchao's words were the same as what Zhao Wenxian said.

Luo Yi didn't dare to think like that, if he really led the troops back to Chang'an, the consequences would be unimaginable, once he rebelled, there would be no turning back, except for Xiliang, I am afraid that he would not dare to go anywhere.

Until this time, Luo Yi still said the same thing, compared with King Xiliang, Luo Yi believed in Li Shimin more, in Luo Yi's heart, King Xiliang was not a good thing. It's all just an exchange of interests.

Zhou Qiao, who was listening on the sidelines, chuckled twice and said, "Husband, I heard my father say that my father wants to give you Longxi, is it true?" ”

"You are well-informed, you stay in the palace all day, how do you know?"

Zhou Qiao said: "I just came back from the palace. ”

Wang Buchao looked shocked and asked, "Is this true?" The king gave you Longxi? ”

Luo Yi smiled bitterly: "Father-in-law, what's so strange about this, isn't it just a county, the king not only gave me Longxi, but also promised not to ask about Longxi, and will be used as Princess Qiao's dowry, give me a fief, the specific reward, will be announced after the wedding, and when it comes, father-in-law, you will know." ”

In fact, Luo Yi didn't want to tell Wang Buchao about this, it was a moment to hide it, but Zhou Qiao had already said it, and Luo Yi had nothing to hide, so he simply told it out.

Wang Buchao took a deep breath and said, "I can't believe that the king actually regards Longxi as Princess Qiao's dowry..." ”

Luo Yi smiled and said: "Father-in-law, how can you be smart and confused for a while, how can the king be a person who does loss-making business, but I promise to hand over tens of thousands of taels of silver and grain every six months." ”

Wang Buchao suddenly said: "I am really old and confused, it turns out that you bought Longxi with money." And no wonder. ”

Immediately, Wang Buchao was very speechless, before Luo Yi also said that he would not help Xiliang fight Li Shimin, but now, first 100,000 loads of grain and grass, and then tens of thousands of silver and grain every six months, such a big effort, dare to say that he did not help.

.............

In the blink of an eye, it was the winter moon.

There are still three days before Luo Yi and Zhou Qiao's wedding, Luo Yi once said that he would use 100,000 loads of grain and grass as a bride price to marry Zhou Qiao, but to this day, no one has seen where Luo Yi's grain and grass are.

Of course, this is just the speculation of people who do good things, since Luo Yi said it, he will do it, his food has always fallen from the sky, how can ordinary people look back.

On this day, Luo Yi called Li Heng to the Drunken Immortal Residence, saying that he had something to discuss.

Li Heng was happy to deal with Luo Yi, not for anything else, just because Luo Yi was a rich man, and he arrived at the Drunken Immortal Residence very early.

Luo Yi did not invite Li Heng to dinner, but took him to the backyard of the Drunken Immortal Residence and entered a room.

As soon as he entered, Li Heng looked shocked and said, "This... Is this the 100,000 quintals of grain? ”

I saw that the bags of grain in the house were neatly stacked and neatly placed. Luo Yi said: "There are more than a dozen such houses, all in this courtyard, you can call someone to move them, a total of 100,000 loads, only a lot more." ”

Li Heng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let people move out." ”

"Haha... A few days ago, the king was still saying that you didn't send anyone to transport grain, and there were no merchant ships to Xiliang on the waterway south of the Yangtze River, and I was afraid that 100,000 loads of grain and grass would not be delivered as scheduled, but I didn't want to, and the grain and grass were close at hand. ”

"I really didn't expect that in this Golden City, Lord Hou could also hide 100,000 loads of military rations, admire!"

Luo Yi said: "The Minister of State doesn't know, this is transported from Jiangnan, because I am worried about being checked by the government, it is all transported at night, so you don't know." ”

In fact, 100,000 loads of military rations were produced in Luo Yi's small world, and Luo Yi quietly carried them out; But of course Luo Yi won't say this kind of thing openly, and no one will believe it if he says it.

It is said that it was transported from the south of the Yangtze River at night, although it is a bit far-fetched, but it is also a statement.

Li Heng didn't dig deeper, the food was right in front of him, and nothing else mattered.

Li Heng said: "I will go back to the palace and report the good news to the king, the army is about to go out, and these 100,000 loads of military food will definitely be of great use." ”

Luo Yi nodded and didn't say anything.

Li Heng made a gesture and left quickly.

Chu Jun walked in from outside the courtyard, he was also very surprised to see these grains, more puzzled, puzzled, he knew this restaurant very well, every grass and tree was his hard work, before today, there was absolutely no grain of grain in the house, but in just one night, there were 100,000 loads! This is not a small number, even if people are moved, hundreds of strong men will have to move for several hours, and Luo Yi secretly stored the grain here without his knowledge, which made him unable to figure it out anyway.

"What, it's unexpected? Hehe.... ”

Luo Yi asked with a smile.

Chu Jun nodded again and again, wanting to figure it out.

It's a pity that Luo Yi won't tell him, don't figure it out for the rest of his life.

Luo Yi said: "This is what was shipped last night, you fell asleep, so I don't know, it's as simple as that." ”

Whether Chu Jun believed it or not, after speaking, Luo Yi hummed a little song and went upstairs.

Chu Jun scratched his head and didn't believe it when he was killed.

Not long after, Li Heng came with officers and soldiers, a full five hundred people, to the courtyard to move all the food out, carry it to the carriage on the side of the street, and then two teams of soldiers escorted it and transported it to the barracks.

This batch of grain, for today's Xiliang soldiers, can really be described as a charcoal in the snow, even Luo Yi doesn't know, in fact, Jincheng is about to run out of food, and Zhou Gandang is completely slapping his swollen face and becoming fat.

As early as a year ago, when he recruited the 50,000 people to train cavalry, Xiliang's grain entered a state of tension, often as soon as the harvest in the field was harvested, it was transported to the major military camps and consumed, and when there was no food, they were all killed horses to satisfy hunger, but fortunately, Xiliang's war horses were infinite, and it didn't matter if they killed some.

That's it, Zhou Gandang carried it for a whole year, and this year, he finally couldn't help it, and wanted to kill Chang'an, seize the land of the Central Plains, and then collect grain, so that he could solve the confusion of no food.

This is also the reason why he heard Luo Yi say that he was willing to take 100,000 loads of military food out in exchange for Longxi, and Zhou Gandang was willing to agree, if it weren't for the real shortage of food, he would have really considered it if he exchanged 100,000 loads of military food for Longxi.

As the sun sets, the sky flushes.

After solving the grain problem, Luo Yi went to the palace and met Zhou Gandang.

"Meet the King."

"Excuse me, excuse me..."

Zhou Gan smiled in front of him, the more he looked at Luo Yi, the more pleasing he felt, just like looking at a mountain of gold, he couldn't wait to put it all in his pocket, and now he can finally understand Li Shimin, why he suppressed Luo Yi, in the face of such a local tyrant, he couldn't help it.

"Luo Yi, you can be regarded as doing this king a great favor, 100,000 loads of military rations... This king thanks you. ”

Luo Yi got up and said, "Back to the king, this is a bride price for Princess Qiao, if the king wants to thank Princess Qiao, thank Princess Qiao." ”

"Oh yes, you're here, but what's the matter?"

"It's a little trivial, I want to ask the king, and I hope the king can answer."

Luo Yi fell silent, walked to the map, and said: "Your Majesty, please see, in the southwest of Longxi, there is a lake called Surabaya, with a radius of more than forty miles, crossing two counties under the jurisdiction of Wuyang County, and intercepting the four counties in the southwest of Longxi, dividing Longxi and Wuyang into two, I want to... Can you give me this lake, if the king can answer, the minister will be grateful. ”
