In the corner seat in the lobby on the first floor of the Tiansi Pavilion Restaurant, Zhang Xuan and Beijing sat opposite each other, Zhang Xuan picked up the wine jug and filled two glasses of wine, and asked with a smile: "Is Mr. Beijing also here to participate in the Heroes Club?" ”

"I'm not here to participate in the Heroes Club, although Master Liang is interested, I have other things."

Mr. Beijing picked up his wine glass, stared at the red wine in the glass, and under the background of the blood-like wine, his pale face became even more weird, and he said lightly: "My surname is Xiao, General Zhang forgot the title of Beijing!" ”

Zhang Xuan nodded silently, he didn't know what conflict had happened between this Mr. Beijing and the Turks, which caused him to leave the grassland and go south.

But Zhang Xuan's intuition told him that this Mr. Xiao did not deliberately deceive himself, he should have broken up with the Turks, and as for the reason for the breakup, if the other party didn't say it, Zhang Xuan didn't want to know.

Mr. Beijing's real name is Xiao Milling, is a nobleman of the Liang Dynasty, and the nephew of today's Empress Xiao, he went to the Turks twenty years ago in order to restore the country, took over the Jinshan Palace, and established a group of his own forces.

Xiao Mo glanced at Zhang Xuan, and said with a smile: "If I say that I turned against the Turks because of those 300,000 pieces of armor, how would General Zhang feel?" ”

Jang Hyun smiled, "I feel sorry for Mr. ”

"Aren't you sorry?" Xiao Miao's eyes narrowed, and he stared at Zhang Xuan coldly.

Zhang Xuan met his gaze, his sharp gaze almost saw through Xiao Miao, and he also said coldly: "Since Mr. Xiao claims to be a Han, he shouldn't think of the word 'apology'." ”

Xiao Mo laughed, "No wonder Wuchuan Mansion and Bohai Society can't win over General Zhang, and no wonder they can become famous in just one year, General Zhang is really different." I'm just joking, 300,000 pieces of armor certainly made the Turks thunder, but I am not too disappointed, speaking of which, I also want to thank General Zhang, if it weren't for the 300,000 pieces of armor that sank into the North Sea, the Turks would not have given me an order to expel guests. I don't know what excuse to leave the grassland, it is General Zhang's brave deeds at the beginning that I have today's free body, come! I toast General Zhang. ”

Xiao Mo raised his wine glass, and the two drank it all, Zhang Xuan also admired this Xiao Mo for being able to speak, his tongue was as bright as a flower, and he turned hatred into kindness.

But there is one thing that Jang Hyun can understand. Even if the other party gets 300,000 pieces of armor, he can't get it back to the Central Plains, and it is better to sink into the deep sea than to cheapen the Turks.

But what is he looking for himself today? Jao Hyun remained silent and waited for the other party to continue.

Xiao Mo pondered and said: "Don't hide it from General Zhang, I have been observing the changes in grain prices in the Central Plains in the past few years, and I found that the taxes of the government have been sharply reduced by half, but the grain prices are sometimes high and sometimes low. It was only this year that the price of grain suddenly doubled after the sharp increase in bad money in the market. General Zhang thought about the reason? ”

Zhang Xuan shook his head, "I also found out that the wine price in Tiansi Pavilion has risen sharply today, so I was curious to inquire about the price of grain, to be honest, I don't have a deep understanding in Qingzhou." ”

"The reason for this is the demographic change, and the number of yeoman farmers under the control of the imperial court has decreased significantly. On the one hand, it was wiped out by the war, on the other hand, it was consumed by the heavy hard labor of the imperial court, and more importantly, it was hidden by wealthy families in various places.

But food cannot last long. The grain of the wealthy family will still be taken out for cash, so the total amount of grain in the market has not decreased much, and the change in grain prices is not large, but it is completely different for the imperial court. ”

Xiao Mo took a sip of wine and sneered: "The transfer of peasants means the transfer of wealth, and the imperial court's taxes have long been beyond its means, so it can only rely on eating the old capital, but the imperial court cannot always sit on the empty mountain, and in the absence of anything to do, it has to use a large amount of bad money and change the method of weights and measures to exploit the people, but this is tantamount to killing chickens and eggs, and if this continues, the Sui Dynasty will not be able to support it for a few years." ”

Zhang Xuan had to admit that this Mr. Xiao saw through that the peasants were the greatest productive forces in this era, and the imperial court and famous families, as well as the Guanlong nobles were the contenders for the peasants.

The Guanlong aristocracy controlled Guanlong, the famous family controlled the place, and the court was emptied, which meant the failure of the court to compete for productivity, which was the root of the Sui Dynasty's demise.

Zhang Xuan smiled and nodded, "I see, Zhang Xuan has been taught." ”

When Xiao Mo saw Zhang Xuan defeat Wu Yunzhao in the school field, he knew that it was unlikely that he would assassinate Zhang Xuan, and if he didn't do it, he would suffer from it.

But Zhang Xuan also knows his Xiao Mill's old background, especially his relationship with the Turks, this is Xiao Mill's trouble, he must shut up Zhang Xuan, if he can't assassinate Zhang Xuan, then he can only do it in turn, and today he seized this opportunity.

Xiao Mo looked at it again: "I still have news to tell the general, I'm afraid it's not good for the general, I hope the general can be as vigilant as possible." ”

"Sir, please!"

Xiao Mo said slowly: "The general was named the general of the tiger Benlang this time, which made Yuwenshu sit on pins and needles, and the Yuan family is trying their best to collect evidence against the general in order to curry favor with Yuwenshu, I am afraid that their first breakthrough is what the general did in Beihai County, the general should be careful!" ”

Zhang Xuan was secretly shocked in his heart, there was such a thing, and he asked puzzledly: "How could the Yuan family know what I did in Beihai County?" ”

"The Yuan family really doesn't know, but someone knows, and the general should understand who is providing the news to the Yuan family."

Zhang Xuan groaned slightly, and couldn't help blurting out, "Bohai Meeting!" ”

"The general is really a smart person, Gao Hui is in Luoyang now, I saw her yesterday, she recruited me to deal with the Flying Eagle Army, but I politely refused."

Zhang Xuan is really a little puzzled, Wuchuan Mansion and Bohai Society have always been mortal enemies, how could the Yuan family collude with Bohai Society?

Xiao Mo seemed to know Zhang Xuan's doubts, and smiled faintly, "The current Wuchuan Mansion is no longer the Wuchuan Mansion of Dou Qing's time, Dugu Shun connived at Yuan Min's reckless behavior, and Yuan Min began to do whatever it took to achieve his goal, he felt that he was using the Bohai Society, but didn't he know that the Bohai Society was using him?"

This time Zhang Xutuo was transferred to Beijing, Yuwenshu also made a lot of efforts in the back, but Zhang Xutuo entered Beijing, the biggest beneficiary is the Bohai Society, this is Gao Hui personally told me, transferred Zhang Xutuo, the next target is the general, as long as Zhang Xutuo and Zhang Xuan are pulled out of the two nails, it will be much easier for the Bohai Society to enter Shandong, so I remind the general again, the open gun is easy to dodge and the dark arrow is difficult to prevent, and you must be careful that the Bohai Sea will secretly attack. ”

Zhang Xuan didn't expect that there were so many complicated relationships behind the marshal's entry into Beijing, especially the tripartite alliance of the Bohai Society, the Yuan family and the Yuwenshu family, which was a huge threat not only to him Zhang Xuan, but also to the entire Flying Eagle Army.

Zhang Xuan was grateful in his heart, and arched his hand to Xiao Miao: "Thank you Mr. for being honest, Zhang Xuan is grateful!" ”

Xiao Mo nodded and smiled: "I have always regretted that I missed the general in Beihai, I hope that in the future, the general and I will support each other, if the general is willing, we will drink this cup." ”

Xiao Mian raised his glass, and Zhang Xuan also happily raised his glass and said: "It's a blessing to be with Mr. Zhang Xuan!" ”

On the way back to Zhang Xutuo's Mansion, Wei Chigong finally couldn't help but remind Zhang Xuan: "General, this Mr. Beijing only said that his surname is Xiao, what is his specific name, what is his background, but he doesn't say anything, I feel that he seems to be insincere." ”

Zhang Xuan smiled: "I guess he has a difficulty, so he doesn't want to say it, in fact, I don't want to know, when he really asks me to do something, I'll ask him well." ”

"But does the general believe what he says?" Wei Chigong asked again.

Zhang Xuan nodded, "He obviously betrayed the Bohai Society today, I don't know if there is any oil and vinegar in the details, but I believe that he didn't lie to me in the big frame, Bohai will win me over and the handsome, and he will definitely cut me backhand, and the Yuan family will also make a fuss about me in order to please Yuwenshu, no matter what, I have to get through the current crisis." ”

Zhang Xuan knew very well in his heart that his biggest handle was the Liang Zhi case, others didn't know the details of this, but Bohai would know very well that Gao Hui would definitely tell the Yuan family about this matter in detail, how could Yu Wenshu let himself go? His crisis was looming.

Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and said to Wei Chigong: "Wei Chi, do you remember Xu Yin's residence?" (To be continued......)
