Nan Jianxiu opened the envelope and saw that the second prince actually let himself lead the army to surrender, and said angrily: "The second prince is confused!" If we don't lead the army to surrender, Li Yao won't dare to do anything to you, if we really surrender, then it will really be me for the fish and he for the sword! ”

But the commander of this army is the second prince, and his own commander must listen to the commander, which is very funny, but the fact is that in order to concentrate all the power in his own hands, Emperor Liang needs to obey the commander's orders!

It's just that the soldiers who went to inform Yang Yun that the troops had been sent out, if they surrendered now, when Yang Yun's army came, they would definitely anger Li Yao, and they would be in danger at that time!

It's just that sending troops is not something that can be sent out in a while, and it is not easy for Yang Yun to gather 100,000 troops, so Nan Jianxiu immediately sent soldiers to inform Yang Yun not to send troops!

At this time, Yang Yun in Yidu was also very annoyed, he had just received a letter, Nan Jianxiu, the general of the Liang Dynasty, asked him to send 100,000 troops to assist him in rescuing the second prince, seeing this letter, Yang Yun's heart refused, 100,000 troops, Yidu did not have so many soldiers, even if there were, it was impossible to send them all, after all, there was a seventh prince who was against him in Yidu, and now there are more and more subordinates of the seventh prince, and the power is getting bigger and bigger, if Yi does not have his own guards, the seventh prince will definitely take advantage of the situation!

And now the struggle between the Seven Princes and Yangyun is getting hotter and hotter, Fuchuan has assassinated the officials of Yangyun's forces many times, and Yangyun is also furious, and he has assassinated the officials of the Seven Princes' forces one after another, so that many officials now don't even dare to go to the early dynasty, and the guard strength of each official's mansion has more than doubled!

I can't go to the early dynasty, and there is no way to announce many major events, so Yidu government affairs are already in chaos, but fortunately, it's winter now, and there are not many major things to deal with!

Yang Yun couldn't get an army of 100,000 in Yidu, but he could recruit soldiers from the nearby county town, so Yang Yun issued an order to let the city guards of each county gather in Yidu, and then the respective county towns were recruiting city guards separately!

The city guards drawn from various county towns can imagine their combat strength, but Yang Yun also understands that the army he sent must be cannon fodder, so it doesn't matter whether it is good or not, the important thing is that the number of people is enough!

As soon as Yang Yun passed down the order to go to the counties to recruit troops, he received an order from Nan Jianxiu to give up army reinforcements, Yang Yun got the letter and read it for a long time, and secretly thought to himself: "Is this person playing tricks on me, as the descendant of the second prince of the Liang Dynasty, Yang Yun knows Nan Jianxiu, so he doesn't dare to disobey Nan Jianxiu's order and give up reinforcements!" At this time, Yang Yun was in a very good mood, he didn't need to send an army of 100,000, so he could save a lot of money! But then the letter from the second prince to him completely knocked him to the bottom!

Yang Yun just received a letter from Nan Jianxiu, and then received a letter from the second prince, Yang Yun read the letter from the second prince and was directly blinded, five million taels of silver, which is equivalent to a year's income from the treasury!

Although he is the second prince's tool for collecting money in Yidu, it is still very difficult to let him take out five million taels of silver, because he has to make offerings to the second prince every year, so Yangyun looks beautiful, but in fact, the money in his hand is not as much as he imagined, but Yangyun thought of a way, that is, to collect money from the big households in Yidu, there are countless big and wealthy businessmen in Yidu, if you can collect these money from them, five million taels of silver is absolutely no pressure!

But I was just about to send someone down to collect money, but after thinking about it, I stopped it, because the power behind many rich businessmen and big families is very big, so big that even Yang Yun doesn't dare to move casually!

Yang Yun quickly wrote some lists, marking that these people are not allowed to be taxed, but without the taxes of these rich merchants, how much tax can the rest of the people collect?

"Why don't you go and rescue the second prince?" This thought flashed through Yang Yun's head, but it was quickly left behind by Yang Yun! Yes, Yang Yun didn't dare, because he had been trained to be loyal to the second prince since he was a child, and almost all the guards around him were the descendants of the second prince, if he stood by and watched, his own guards could dismantle themselves!

Yang Yun found the Hubu Shangshu, this Hubu Shangshu is already the third term, in just two months, the Hubu Shangshu has been changed three times, which makes everyone in Yiguo officials put themselves in danger, if this Hubu Shangshu is not a loyal Yangyun lineage, he will not hold the position of the Hubu Shangshu, which is a fast death!

Under the protection of heavy soldiers, Hubu Shangshu came to Yangyun's mansion, seeing that every official appeared to be heavily protected, Yangyun frowned, and asked the criminal department to investigate the case, but not a single case has been found out so far!

In fact, you don't need to check to know who it is, the person who dares to kill Yangyun in Yidu, there is absolutely no one else except the seventh prince!

Seeing Yang Yun waiting for him in the lobby, Hubu Shangshu hurriedly ran over, and when he saw Yang Yun, he bowed down and said, "Chief, what are your orders?" ”

Yang Yun asked, "How much money is left in the treasury?" ”

He took out the account book and looked at it carefully, and said: "Because in the past few months, the continuous wars have consumed a huge amount of the treasury, and there are many county towns that are no longer ours, so the taxes are not very much, and now there are three and a half million taels of silver in the treasury!" ”

Yang Yun was shocked and said, "Only three and a half million taels of silver? ”

Hubu Shangshu looked at the account book again and nodded: "It is true that there are only three and a half million taels of silver!" ”

Yang Yunqi slapped the table, and scolded psychologically: "Li Yao'er deceived people too much, if he hadn't held the second prince hostage, how could he have to offer five million taels of silver, now there are more than three million taels of silver left in the treasury, even if taxes are levied in Yidu, a maximum of one million taels will be collected, and the remaining 500,000 taels will have to be paid out of his own pocket!" ”

There is no money in the treasury, and the bandit army has to be given annual coins in the south, and the army has to be organized to compete with the eldest prince in the west, and Li Yao's troops are even more eyeing it. Having already occupied Yangsong County, the cavalry can go straight to Yidu in just an hour, and Yang Yun felt despair for the first time!

It's just that this also strengthens Yangyun's confidence to give Li Yao five million taels of silver, as long as the second prince is rescued, the second prince will definitely not sit idly by, in the final analysis, if the second prince wants to compete for the throne, Yiguo must become his rear.

It's just that he has to pay 500,000 out of his pocket, which is not a big deal for Yangyun, and it is not a blow to the rich country, after all, he has controlled Yiguo for many years, and everything in the family is extraordinary!

Because the people sent out to collect taxes did not collect those powerful big households, the progress of taxation proceeded very quickly, and it only took one day to collect all the people who could be taxed, and a total of one million taels of silver were collected, plus three and a half million taels of silver from the treasury and five hundred thousand taels of silver taken out by oneself, enough for five million taels of silver, and quickly sent it to Li Yao!
