The territory of the Liao State was several times that of the Western Xia, and the Western Xia Emperor could only take a princess of the Liao Emperor as the queen. In the eyes of the people, if the crown prince can defeat the emperor of Liao, then the emperor of Western Xia will not be a problem.

However, Ren Liang didn't see it that way, the Liao State sent only 50,000 troops, but the Western Xia sent 400,000 troops, which of the two is stronger and which is weaker, it is obvious.

Of course, this is not known to the people, in order to avoid panic among the people. Di Bao only publicized the prince's repulsion of the Liao State, and did not mention how many soldiers and horses the Liao State had dispatched.

The common people just habitually thought that the Liao State must have more soldiers and horses than the Western Xia.

Chao Yong took the lead in walking on the street, but he was not afraid of plotting, even if someone on both sides stabbed with a bow and crossbow, he could completely dodge it with his reaction speed.

The jade lion of the night of the divine horse, the instrument is magnificent, and the prince is extraordinary.

This picture obviously satisfies the curiosity of the people, and it is also in line with the description in the newspaper, the prince is infinitely powerful because the prince is a god descended from heaven, not because the prince is one foot tall and has a waist circumference of eight feet.

When the prince passed, the people on both sides dared to talk about it.

Chao Yong listened to the praise of the people behind him, and also secretly praised the strategy of Wu Yong and others.

After conquering Tokyo, Chao Yong no longer deliberately advertised that he was the star descending to earth and the Nine Heavens Xuannu Niangniang's dream, because he knew that smart people would not believe it, and he kept boasting, and there was no telling how many people would laugh later. However, Wu Yong and Zhao Mingcheng suggested that Di Bao continue to publicize this matter, saying that it would be easier to seize the world and appease the people.

Han Gaozu beheaded the White Snake Uprising, and Tang Taizong directly said that he was the descendant of the Taoist immortal Laozi Li Er, and both of them were also masters of a generation, but they both talked about these gods and ghosts, which shows that the things of gods and ghosts are very marketable.

You can't fool the wise, but it's enough to fool the people.

In fact, these things are also made by smart people, and those who can blow the conch can directly start a sect. Countless generations of disciples and grandchildren have been fooled. Those who have smaller abilities occasionally make some auspicious, damned or something, and use them for their own use.

And Chao Yong's myth is half true and half fictional, as long as Chao Yong can remain invincible, then his reputation as a god will not be questioned.

It's not that Chao Yong doesn't know the benefits of fooling, it's just that he doesn't have that thick skin, and he doesn't want to keep pretending to be when some people don't believe it. But after Wu Yong and others said this. Chao Yong couldn't admit that he was talking nonsense before, so he could only be cheeky and continue to fight the world in the name of the gods.

"Catch Him"

"Catch Him"

"Don't let him run that way."

When we came to an intersection, suddenly there was a shout from the left.

I saw a few catchers on the road chasing a big man towards this side, and the big man quickly rushed into the crowd in a daze.

Seeing this, Ren Shi couldn't help but cry out in his heart, and hurriedly shouted to the soldiers standing on the side of the street: "Catch him." ”

If someone assassinates the prince under his rule, don't think about it, it must be the crime of raiding the family and destroying the clan. Even if the person who came could not assassinate the prince, he ran into the prince. Being impeached by the official is also a sin.

The people in the vicinity thought that there was an assassin, for fear of being injured by mistake, and some people cried for their father and mother. Someone squeezed out, and in an instant, there was a mess.

Shi Yong and Xue Yong saw it and hurriedly stepped forward. Protected on both sides of Chao Yong.

Chao Yong didn't have a trace of panic, pointed to the man who was squeezing around in the crowd, and said, "Go and get him." ”

Ren forgave the man who was just moving through the crowd. It was also seen that the man was not an assassin, but just wanted to avoid the capture from behind. Seeing Chao Yong's calm appearance, he also knew that the prince was not only invincible, but also good at martial arts.

The man wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, but Chao Yong stared at him on the horse, so that he had nothing to hide.

Under Chao Yong's guidance, Shi Yong and Xue Yong quickly separated the crowd and found this man.

The man couldn't get out of the way, and he didn't resist, so he let Shi Yong and Xue Yong twist their arms and escort them to the middle of the road.

When the people on both sides saw that the culprit was caught, they no longer panicked, and watched curiously on both sides.

Chao Yong saw that this man did not look afraid, and he was also a little curious, motioned to Shi Yong and Xue Yong to let go of this person, and said with a smile: "Why are you arrested and chased after him?" ”

The man clenched his fists and said, "Because the villain sells green salt." ”

Chao Yongqi said: "Private salt? ”

Ren Liang saw that Chao Yong didn't know, so he stepped forward and explained: "Green salt is salt produced in Western Xia, and most of the financial revenue of Western Xia comes from selling salt. After the invasion of Western Xia, the lower officials banned the sale of green salt. ”

When Chao Yong heard this, he said to the man: "You look like you are also a Han from Guanzhong, and the green salt is produced in the Western Xia, and now that the two countries are at war, aren't you selling the green salt an enemy?" ”

"The villain didn't want to sell green salt, but before the invasion of Western Xia, the villain bought a lot of green salt and was ready to sell it. Unexpectedly, as soon as the villain bought the goods, the damned Xixia people invaded, and the government also ordered a ban on the sale of green salt, and this batch of goods was pressed in the hands of the villain. The villain didn't dare to break the law, but the rest of the money in his hand during this time was also spent, and there was still an old lady waiting to eat at home. Today, I heard that the officers and soldiers are here, so I want to quietly sell some green salt and get some money for my wife to eat. ”

Ren Liang reprimanded: "Full of nonsense, it was also illegal to sell green salt in the past, and I didn't dare to break the law by saying anything." ”

The man argued: "In peacetime, there are more people selling green salt, and the catch is also a blind eye, and the villain is just a mixed meal, if the arrest is strict, the villain and the old lady are filial, and they will never do this." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "How many days can your green salt be sold?" ”

The man thought for a while and said, "Green salt is easy to sell, and the court won't let it be sold during this time, so the salt in the people's homes should be used up." If the court doesn't catch it, it will be sold out in two or three days. ”

Chao Yong turned his head to Ren Liang and said: "These salts are now in the hands of my people, Ren Gong will see if he can be accommodating for a few days, let them sell this salt, anyway, the money will not flow to Western Xia." ”

Ren Liang nodded and said: "At the beginning, the lower officials also considered this problem and allowed them to sell it for three days, and then banned it." It seems that this man sold a lot of green salt. ”

The man shouted: "After the adults posted the list, everyone rushed to make a move, and the people also wanted to flee, no one wanted to buy more, and the villain couldn't sell it if he wanted to." There were a few merchants who collected salt, but kept the price so low that it was better to sell it to them and throw it into the river. ”

Ren Liang said helplessly: "There is no way for the lower officials, if they are allowed to sell slowly, those unscrupulous merchants will sell more salt from Western Xia." ”

Chao Yong nodded and said, "Ren Gong can let them sell for three days, which is already good." It's just that I didn't expect that there would be businessmen who were ready to make a fortune in the country, and they must be thinking of selling them at a high price in the future, or shipping them to the mainland. Go back and let people check which merchants collected salt at a low price, and the government confiscated all of them and distributed them to the people in the city. ”

Ren Liang didn't pay attention to the person who collected the salt at the beginning, and after hearing the prince's instructions, he hurriedly said: "The lower official is derelict in his duties, please ask the prince to condemn the crime." ”

Chao Yong said with a smile: "In those days, Ren Gong must have been busy pacifying the people, and those businessmen did not affect the people, and it is normal for Ren Gong not to pay attention." What a sin. Ren Gong looks, this person's business? ”

Ren Liang was not dead-headed, nodded and said: "After the official government makes a list, there should be no one to sell green salt in Western Xia, you can let them sell the salt in their hands for another three days." However, this person rushed into the prince, how to punish it, and asked the prince to show it. ”

Chao Yong also knew that Ren Liang didn't want to punish this person at all, otherwise he wouldn't have to ask him how to punish him. In front of everyone's eyes, he can't cure this person's crime, and if Ren Forgive really wants to punish this person, he will definitely not mention this stubble. When he is gone, Ren Liang will punish this person again, and then there will be people talking about it, and they will only say that Ren Liang killed the killer in order to please the prince, and the prince didn't know about it at all.

The way to be an official is to have the courage to carry the black pot for the boss. Of course, the black cauldron that is enough to crush people can't be carried, this kind of insignificant, but can please the boss, the black cauldron has to be rushed.

Is this person guilty?

Yes Whatever the reason, it is a sin to run against the prince.

Chao Yong thought for a while and said, "Remembering that your original intention was to support the old lady, I will pardon you for your innocence and go back." ”

When the man heard Chao Yong say that he was innocent, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you for the great grace of the prince." ”

Chao Yong said with a smile: "Da Liang only kneels to his ancestors' parents, get up, sell salt, and support his old mother well." ”

The man kowtowed three times, got up and stepped aside.

Chao Yong nodded at the man, and then rode to the palace.

The man saw Chao Yong leaving, and couldn't help shouting excitedly: "The prince is a thousand years old." ”

The people on both sides, seeing that the prince was so considerate of the people, also shouted along with it, and the sound shook the whole city. (To be continued......)
