PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket support of Ba Xiaoxuan, and thank you for the encouragement of Maxima 0208.

Wang Shichong said with a straight face: "So you not only hate the first emperor, the enemy who killed your grandfather, the royal family of the Great Sui, but also your cousin Xiao Cong, because he pushed this disaster on your grandfather, right?" ”

Xiao Mian gritted his teeth and said sonorously: "Yes, that's right, he is the emperor of Daliang, and he also knows that the old thief Yang Jian has saved the heart of annexing my Daliang, but he patted his ass and left, and continued to go to Daxing to enjoy his glory and wealth, and threw the heavy burden of this country on my grandfather." Brother Wang, if you were me, would you not hate him? ”

Wang Shichong didn't want to accompany him to vent this meaningless feeling, he said lightly: "This is your Xiao family's family matter, and I have no intention of getting involved." But in that case, if you, Mr. Xiao, want to be self-reliant, why should you rely on your aunt? She is the sister of Xiao Cong, the one you hate the most, and when your grandfather left Jiangling with the people, Empress Xiao's sister and brother stayed in Jiangling and didn't go with you. ”

Xiao Mo said hatefully: "I will never forgive them for this matter for the rest of my life, and my aunt is also guilty of this matter and feels ashamed of my grandfather, so she will take care of me secretly." ”

Wei Zheng said coldly: "Since you have been cooperating with your aunt for so many years, wouldn't it be good to continue to cooperate in the future?" After all, we are outsiders, so would you rather cooperate with us outsiders than rely on your own people? ”

Xiao Mo snorted coldly: "Let's tell you the truth, whether it's Xiao Cong or my aunt." They all thought that their branch was the orthodoxy of the Xiao family. It's true royalty. And no one in our branch has ever been an emperor, so we can only be regarded as a clan, so as long as I continue to accept my aunt's help, I will always obey her and be her slave. ”

Wang Shichong said with a smile: "You also said just now that if we succeed in our major affairs, we will respect our Wang family as the master, is this different from you obeying your aunt's orders?" ”

The green tendons on Xiao Miao's forehead were violent, and even his neck became red. He said loudly: "Of course it's different, at least I will be the king of the Liang Kingdom at that time, and I won't be a junior who is called by my aunt." Brother Wang, although you can be my sect master, you can't call me like a servant, Xiao must explain this to you!"

Wang Shichong smiled and patted Xiao Miao's shoulder, and said, "Just kidding, Brother Xiao doesn't have to be so excited!"

Xiao Mo said angrily: "Brother Wang, Xiao's bottom has been handed over to you, please don't always make sarcastic remarks like this." If you look down on Xiao, it's a big deal, let's break up. In the future, Brother Wang will take your Yangguan Road, and my surname Xiao will take his own single-plank bridge, as if we have not met today. ”

Wang Shichong knew that this person was already a little impatient and couldn't say anything more exciting, so he nodded and said, "Mr. Xiao, I'll only ask you one last question, if you can answer truthfully, then what you didn't say, let's cooperate on this and do it according to the conditions you said, how about it?" ”

Xiao Mo was excited in his heart, but he still pretended to be angry on his face, and said angrily: "Brother Wang, it's okay to ask, Xiao must know everything, and say everything!" ”

Wang Shichong asked calmly: "Brother Xiao, you said that you have the treasury wealth accumulated by the Liang Kingdom for decades, and you think that there are at least tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, such a large-scale huge amount of money, isn't it enough for you to stand on your own?" Do you have to rely on the five or six million money of my Wang family? ”

The muscles on the side of Xiao Miao's mouth jumped, and said, "Brother Wang really doesn't know? Do you want Xiao to make it clear? ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Wang is stupid, I hope Mr. Xiao can say it himself." ”

Xiao Mo gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, since Brother Wang said so, Xiao has nothing to hide, please listen to Xiao quietly." ”

Xiao Miao's face became unusually stern, and his eyes emitted an eager light: "Don't hide it from Brother Wang, that batch of treasures of the Great Liang Kingdom does have tens of millions of money, but it can't be used at all now, mainly for two reasons." ”

"First, the money was minted by the Great Liang State back then, and some are gold and silver treasures, the Sui Dynasty since the opening of the emperor five years after the unification of the currency system, the original Northern Qi, Northern Zhou and Southern Chen money was prohibited from circulating in the Sui territory, and later the Sui Dynasty unified the four seas, but also implemented this ban to the end, our Liang money can only circulate in the black market in the south of the Yangtze River, and cannot be traded on a large scale."

"Second, that money cannot be used to recruit spies and establish intelligence stations in peacetime, but to be used to recruit troops in the future. When the time comes, whether it is recruiting troops or building weapons, the currency of this beam will be used. Moreover, it is necessary to ban the coins of the Sui Dynasty in this Jingxiang area, so that it will be impossible for the Sui Dynasty to buy and divide our soldiers. ”

"In times of war, the capable person is the king, and after the Sui Dynasty lost its ruling power here, it was natural that it would be restored from the economy to the military to the Great Liang period, so that the foundation of my Great Liang's rule here would be stable."

Wang Shichong laughed: "Mr. Xiao is really whimsical, the currency of the Sui Dynasty is not allowed to circulate in this Jingxiang territory, but can only use your money from the former Liang Dynasty, can you take care of the millions of people here?" Do you have so many coins to give to the people? ”

Xiao Mo smiled slightly, and said: "This is naturally only preliminary, when the world is really in chaos, money can't buy anything, only food is the most basic and the most important." When the time comes, we will be able to open a warehouse and release grain, first recruit a large number of sergeants, and then distribute this kind of money among these soldiers as military salaries. ”

"At the same time, we will open a mint and collect and melt the five baht coins of the Sui Dynasty on a large scale and mint them into the currency of the Great Liang, so that within a few years we can force the people to use our Daliang coins, and it will never be possible to invest in the Sui Dynasty again."

Wang Shichong used to know some old things about the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party before crossing over, and he had heard about the fact that the Kuomintang finally collapsed because of corruption and military defeat. I didn't expect that this Xiao Mill, an ancient person, actually thought of this kind of currency war, and couldn't help but listen to it, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Wei Zheng heard this. A long sigh. said: "I want Wang Mang at the end of the Han Dynasty to implement a new policy. Collect money from the people, prohibit the circulation of old money, and then issue their own currency, and so on four times, all of which are exchanged for high-quality old coins with new currencies of inferior quality. Brother Xiao. Aren't you afraid of repeating Wang Mang's mistakes? ”

Xiao Mo smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, Wang Mang's failure is because he did this in peacetime, and he replaced the old ones with new coins that were obviously insufficient. ”

In addition, he offended the big nobles and large landowners of the time in other aspects of reform, and these people stood against him at the most critical time, and even openly and secretly supported the people's uprising. This is the reason why Wang Mang's final reform failed and he died. ”

"But I, Xiao Miao, am doing this in the midst of the war, the purpose is to protect the territory and the people, so that Jingxiang can only circulate the money of the Liang State here, as long as the supply of food can be guaranteed. The people here will be able to support me. And it will also make it much more difficult for the armies of other forces to enter here, and they will take down one or two cities. It is also impossible to feed the people there, so sooner or later it will not be possible to gain a foothold here. ”

When Wang Shichong heard this, he suddenly said: "Mr. Xiao, isn't it too naïve for you to issue Liang State coins based on a sufficient supply of rice and grain, and prohibit the circulation of the Sui Dynasty's five-baht coins, hoping that you can prevent being attacked by others by this method?" If others attack this Jingxiang, won't they also distribute rice grain? ”

Xiao Mo smiled: "Brother Wang has thought about it, Xiao has thought about this problem, and he doesn't have to worry about it." Because when the heroes rise together, most of them have to lay their own territory, our Liang Xiao family has been operating here for decades, and the old departments of the door are all over the place, who else is I in this Jingxiang land? If nothing else, in less than three years, I Xiao Mill will be able to gain a firm foothold here and restore the country of Liang. ”

At that time, the coins of the Great Liang were completely circulated in this area, and the rich people in the past would still be rich people by exchanging guò coins for huàn, while most of the poor people had to go to the army to eat food, and they also had to rely on the Liang coins as military salaries to feed their families. If an external force enters and declares the coins of this beam invalid, then both the rich and the military will fight with such people, what else can I worry about? ”

Wang Shichong smiled and said, "But Mr. Xiao, if there is a problem with your food supply, such as a year when the output is insufficient, you will not be able to feed the millions of people in Jingxiang, how will you deal with yourself at that time?" You must know that if you kill 3,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself, you can certainly make this place economically independent, but you also lose the possibility of trading with other places, don't you? ”

Xiao Mo smiled slightly: "Brother Wang will know as long as he takes office, thanks to the blessing of the old thief Yang Jian, in the past 20 years, the Jingzhou, Yingzhou and Xiangzhou regions have been smooth and rainy, and there have been bumper harvests every year." There was enough food in the official warehouse to last twenty years, and the money in the treasury was piled up as high as a mountain. Even if there is no harvest every year, only the grain storage will be enough for us to maintain the rule here, so Brother Wang doesn't need to worry about this. ”

Wang Shichong sighed and said, "Mr. Xiao is thoughtful and far-reaching, and it is really impressive that he can consider so many things. Okay, Wang Shichong is a talker, so he will cooperate with you Mr. Xiao. ”

Xiao Mo was overjoyed, stood up suddenly, and saluted Wang Shichong solemnly: "Thank you Brother Wang for looking up to Xiao, you and I join forces, why worry about big things?" ”

Wang Shichong waved his hand and said, "Okay, then now trouble Mr. Xiao to sue me, that Chen Ling's bottom line, since he is a chess piece that your aunt has entered into this Yingzhou Prefecture, can this person be used by us, and how are you going to deal with him?" ”

Xiao Mo smiled and said: "This Chen Ling, it's a long story, he is a chess piece that our Xiao clan has been ambushed in the Southern Dynasty for many years, and the three generations of ancestors and grandchildren have been used by me, until this Chen Ling, there are repetitions in the middle, and it was not until Chen Ling's generation that he really began to play his role." ”

After Wang Shichong and Wei Zheng had a long talk, they no longer felt strange about this kind of loyal servant of the generations, but they didn't know what was so good about this Chen Ling, so they suddenly became interested again, stopped talking, and listened to what Xiao Ling said.

Xiao Mo took a sip of water and said: "This Chen Ling's ancestral home is Lujiang, and his grandfather is a secret agent under our Xiao family, who has always used the identity of a fisherman as a cover to find out the information of the Chen Dynasty for us. In the many years of war between our dynasty and the Chen dynasty, he has made a lot of contributions. ”

"When Chen Ling's father, Chen Xian, came to his generation, he was sent by our Great Liang to serve as a personal guard under Zhang Dabao, the general of the Chen Dynasty, and by the way, he spied on the intelligence of the Chen Dynasty. Unexpectedly, Chen Xian and his people were dissatisfied with serving as our Xiao Clan's secret agent year after year. I don't want to live like this anymore. ”

"That Zhang Dabao later came into contact with our Daliang. Wants to surrender our girders. And the contact person in the middle is that Chen Xian, but this Chen Xian betrayed Zhang Dabao and passed the information that he was going to submit to our army to Chen Chao, and Zhang Dabao was defeated and killed, and Chen Xian, a traitor, was also named the assassin of Qianzhou by Chen Chao for his merits. ”

Wang Shichong said with a smile: "Then this Chen Xian is a traitor who betrayed your Liang Kingdom, why do you continue to use his son?" ”

Xiao Mo smiled slightly: "Brother Wang, don't be impatient, please listen to me." After Chen Xian surrendered to the Chen Dynasty, the good times did not last long. Within two years, the Chen Dynasty was destroyed by Yang Jian, and Chen Xian was also removed and returned to his hometown in Lujiang. At that time, our Liang was also destroyed by Yang Jianqiang, so we didn't go after this traitor. ”

"But soon after the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, there was a rebellion of high wisdom, this brother Wang should know very well that this turmoil almost swept the entire Jiangnan, and in the end, it was Brother Wang who personally went out and fought for two years before it was finally suppressed."

Wang Shichong nodded. said: "Yes, this is indeed a great achievement of Wang's life." However, I mainly fought in Jiangnan and Lingnan back then, and I had never heard of Chen Xian. Could it be that Chen Hyeon was also involved in this rebellion? ”

Xiao Mian sighed and said: "At that time, Chen Xian was relatively famous in the Lujiang area, except for Zhou Luohu, he Chen Xian had the greatest power, and Zhou Luohu descended to the Sui Dynasty early and moved his family north, so Chen Xian was promoted as the leader by the local powerful bandits and raised troops against the Sui. ”

At that time, Chen Xian didn't want to come out at first, but Chen Ling, who was still a teenager, persuaded his father that now these anti-thieves are raging, if you want to forcibly refuse, I am afraid that they will kill you as a fellow party of the Sui Dynasty first. It's better to pretend to accept their recommendation first, become their leader, and then improvisate later. If the thieves gain the momentum, they will push the boat down the river and lead them to do a career, otherwise they will fall to the court at a critical moment. ”

Wang Shichong smiled and said, "I seem to remember that in the end, this Chen Xian wanted to fall to the court again, but he was killed. Because it was Li Che of the Zhuguo who led the army to quell the rebellion at that time, this person was Gao Zhi's best friend back then, and Gao Xi also praised this person's military talent, if I remember correctly, Li Che secretly communicated with Chen Xian at that time, and asked Chen Xian to betray his group of traitors to him, but unfortunately he messed up later, right. ”

Xiao Mo said: "Yes, that's right, it was Chen Ling who was sent by Chen Xian to contact Li Che at that time, and this Chen Ling and Li Che agreed on a time and place, and promised to let his father lead the rebels to that designated place for Li Che to exterminate." And Li Che was overjoyed, and wrote a recital to Yang Jian in front of Chen Ling, and promoted Chen Xian as a general, Xuanzhou Thorn History, and a thousand households in the county. ”

But when Chen Xian's father and son excitedly brought the rebels to the designated place, Li Chejun was nowhere to be found, so this conspiracy was leaked, and these rebels did not do anything, and they killed Chen Xian directly, and Chen Ling desperately escaped with his life. Afterwards, the old thief Yang Jian only gave Chen Ling a Fengche Lieutenant Liupin Official, which was still a false title, and there was no formal establishment, but he was only given a sum of money to let Chen Ling return to his hometown to lead Xiang Yong. ”

Wang Shichong said with a smile: "Then this Chen Ling must hate the first emperor to death, and also hate that Li Che, which gives you the opportunity for the Xiao family to take advantage of the void?" ”

Xiao Mo said: "Yes, at that time, my grandfather had just died at the hands of the old thief Yang Jian, and my father had a deep hatred of blood, buried his name incognito, and fled for his life everywhere. Later, when he heard about Chen Ling, he simply went to Chen Ling directly, but Chen Ling cried bitterly at his father in distress, deeply regretted his father's previous betrayal, and swore that he would be loyal to our Xiao family and overthrow the Sui Dynasty in the future. ”

Wang Shichong let out an "oh" and said, "So, or did Chen Ling save your father's life?" ”

Xiao Mo nodded and said, "Yes, after the High Wisdom Rebellion, the Sui Dynasty has been chasing down the leaders who participated in the rebellion in the Jiangnan area, as well as the descendants of the Xiao family in our family. If it weren't for Chen Ling's protection back then, I am afraid that my father would not have been able to escape the net of the Sui Dynasty with me, a boy who was only eight years old at the time. ”

Wei Zheng said coldly: "In this way, Chen Ling should be your Mr. Xiao's life-saving benefactor, and you should repay him for your kindness." ”

Xiao Mo snorted heavily: "You can't say that, if it wasn't for his father betraying our Xiao clan first, how could he have ended up in such a field?" The ones that were done later. It was only for the sake of his traitorous father. I have no gratitude. ”

Wang Shichong smiled disdainfully: "So to speak." As long as someone offends you and betrays you, then your Mr. Xiao will remember his hatred until future generations, even if his children and grandchildren save you, they will not be able to repay this love, is this the case? ”

Xiao Mo was so stabbed that he couldn't speak, and after a long time, he spoke: "But." But this surnamed Chen is just our Xiao family's house slave. ”

Wei Zheng shook his head with a smile and said, "Mr. Xiao, Wei Zheng doesn't think that people should have any distinction between high and low, you were born in a noble Xiao royal family in this life, if you accidentally reincarnate as someone else's house slave in the next life, will you still say these words so confidently?" ”

Xiao Miao's face was blue and white, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead again, he waved his hand and said, "There is no need to fight about this issue, our Xiao family has its own opinions." Please don't interfere with it. ”

Wang Shichong nodded and continued to ask, "Then what does this Chen Ling have to do with you later?" ”

Xiao Milling said: "Later, it came to the last years of the emperor. The old thief Yang Jian felt that Jiangnan was basically pacified, and he also relaxed the pursuit of our Xiao Liang royal family, and at this time, the ancestor was able to come out of Chen Ling's house in a grand manner, and managed to get in touch with Xiao Cong and his aunt and others in Daxing. ”

When Xiao Mian said this, he gritted his teeth with hatred, the muscles on his face were twisted and deformed, and the curtain on his head floated without wind: "As a result, Xiao Cong's family is unrepentant, not only does he not have the ambition to restore his homeland, but also persuaded his father, saying that the world is peaceful, the four seas are the heart, and the old thief Yang Jian is the destiny of heaven, and he cannot fight against it." ”

He let his father die of this heart, and from then on he obeyed the law and became a subject of the Sui Dynasty. Hmph, he can really say it, it's not his father who died anyway! ”

As a result, the father turned his face with him on the spot, scolded him, and then left angrily, but to the surprise of the father, Queen Xiao, no, she was still Princess Xiao at the time, and she happened to be in Xiao Cong's mansion that day, and this qiē was seen by her in the dark room. So she later managed to contact her late father and was willing to work with him to revive the Liang Kingdom. ”

Wang Shichong let out an "oh" and sighed: "I didn't expect that Queen Xiao was a woman, but she still had a bit of integrity, much more backbone than her brother." ”

Xiao Mo said: "This is what every descendant of the Liang Xiao family should do, but it is indeed not easy for my aunt to be willing to do this with the respect of the future queen." In fact, she has been fighting alone for many years, provoking the dispute between the princes of the Wang family, instigating Cui Hongdu's sister to poison Yang Hao, the king of Qin, and inciting Yang Guang to seize Yang Yong's crown prince, all of which are the handiworks of her aunt. ”

Wang Shichong was shocked in his heart, and said: "Then Cui Hongdu's sister Da Cui Clan poisoned Yang Hao, the king of Qin, and it was also done by Empress Xiao?" ”

A hint of pride flashed on Xiao Miao's face: "Yes, this Cui family is also the enemy of our Xiao family, it was this person who led the troops to receive Jiangling back then, and he was the direct murderer who destroyed our Daliang with his own hands, and my aunt stayed in Jiangling with a few younger brothers back then, and she was not less bullied by this thief, and was treated like a prisoner by him, without any royal dignity and decency." ”

So my aunt, who was still young at the time, hated Cui Hongdu, a thief, to death, and even if she became the princess of Jin in the future, she would not forget the hatred of the year. It's just that the old thief Yang Jian has always been kind to the blue-eyed surnamed Cui, and entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, allowing him to enjoy the honor of being a concubine and a concubine. Even Yang Guang needs to tie up with this thief more to attract foreign aid to seize the throne. ”

"God is pitiful, my aunt finally waited for an opportunity, the eldest concubine of King Yang Jun of Qin is Cui Hongdu's sister, and Yang Guang's eldest son Yang Zhao's concubine Xiao Cui is Cui Hongdu's niece. Yang Jun is lustful, and Da Cui's is jealous, so Yang Jun has been hiding from Da Cui's messing around outside, and he also lied to that Da Cui's because he is busy with official business and often doesn't return at night, but he is actually happy outside. ”

After my aunt learned the news, she inadvertently mentioned the matter in front of Xiao Cui's family, and Xiao Cui's told Da Cui about it when she returned to her parents' house. So the big Cui family really had a grudge, and actually poisoned the melon and fruit that Yang Jun ate, so that Yang Jun died, and the big Cui family was ordered to die by Yang Jian, and the little Cui family was also sent back to his parents' house, and Cui Hongdu also closed the door and thanked the guests, and he no longer dared to be arrogant. (To be continued......)
