Li Yuanji stood up solemnly, his face began to twist violently, it was obvious that he was almost unable to restrain his anger, although Li Yuanji was ruthless and vicious, but after all, he was young, and the scheming of the city government was still far behind, and he was angry at the slightest conflict, just like a wild dog in estrus, eager to tear the other party to pieces if he was provoked a little.

At this time, Yu Wenxin, who was sitting on the side, coughed heavily and said with a smile: "Your Highness, maybe the head of the Dugu family didn't understand what His Highness meant. ”

Yu Wenxin reminded him in time, so that Li Yuanji suddenly realized that it was not the time to turn his face with Dugu Yu, the anger in his heart disappeared, and he slowly sat down again, Dugu Yu still didn't say a word, and looked at Li Yuanji coldly.

Li Yuanji calmed down for a moment, and then said to Dugu: "I didn't make it clear just now, my father asked me to be responsible for raising money and food, and my father said very clearly, now the Tang and Zhou wars are imminent, the situation is very critical, and the supply of money and grain cannot drag the front army back, but the money and food are tight, and the father hopes that the Guanlong nobles can share the worries for the imperial court, and donate another million stone grain and 500,000 guan money, the Dou Gong I visited before, he made it clear that the three major families of the Dou family, the Dou Lu family and the Changsun family pledged to donate 300,000 stone grain and 100,000 guan money, Then there are still 700,000 stone grain and 400,000 guan money, I have to ask Dugu Gong to convene various families to discuss, see how much each family shares, and solve this matter as soon as possible, of course, as a commendation for everyone's support for the Tang Army, the father will award the Duke of the Duke of the Kingdom to all the family heads, and I can also guarantee that Xuanwu Jingwei will never harass the property of the Guanlong nobles in Chang'an. ”

Dugu Yu also sat down, he also realized that now is not the time to be rash, and it is meaningless to mention the commercial return of Luoyang last time, but if they donate another million stone grain, he doesn't want to accept it again, especially now that the state has fallen, the Hexi crisis, the Bashu crisis, the Tang Dynasty can't support the 300,000 troops at all by relying on the territory of Guanlong, Li Yuan will inevitably continue to intensify their exploitation, this time if they give in again, at most a month or two later, Li Yuan will let them bleed again, Who can afford such cruel exploitation?

Thinking of this, Dugu said slowly: "Last year, we donated three times in a row, each time it was a million stones, although there are not so many on the head of each family, but we can't afford three consecutive assessments, basically the granaries of every household have bottomed out, the harvest last autumn was very bad, half of the manor of the Dugu family was not harvested, and they are counting on this summer's wheat, but now the apportionment is only coming in February, even if we want to support the Tang Army, but we really can't come up with so much money and grain, or His Royal Highness will forgive it for a few more months, After the summer grain is closed, we will support the Tang army, is this okay? ”

Where would Li Yuanji believe his words, the Dou family can take it, but the richest man in the world can't take it out, isn't this a big joke?

But Li Yuanji had already prepared, he stood up and said, "Dugu Gong should think about this matter again!" After thinking about it, just let me know, and I'll take my leave. ”

Li Yuanji got up and left quickly, Yuwenxin hurriedly followed, but Dugu Yu did not go out, his eyes fell on a small wooden box on the ground, this is Li Yuanji forgot here, but obviously deliberately forgotten, what is in this?

Dugu Yu slowly stepped forward, squatted down and opened the wooden box, which contained four volumes of account books, and the seal was clearly written, Dugu Ye Ji, but there was no seal on it, obviously it was just a transcript, not an original.

Dugu Yu picked up a roll casually and unfolded it slowly, his eyes widened, and his heart pounded violently, this turned out to be the income and expenditure accounts of the Gaonu oil well in Yan'an County, several of which were clearly marked, on the fourth day of October in the third year of Wude, the Northern Sui Army received 10,000 barrels of Gaonu oil; On the ninth day of the third month of the fourth year of Wude, the Northern Sui army received 8,000 barrels of high-slave oil.......

Duguyu's heart seemed to fall into the abyss all of a sudden.

.........

At night, a house in Chongrenfang is brightly lit, this house is a separate house of Duguyu, covering an area of about ten acres, the carriage is parked in front of the gate, and there are groups of families squatting under the wall, gathering together to idle bored.

In the lobby of the mansion, the heads of the thirteen families of the Guanlong nobility gathered together, this was an impromptu meeting convened by Dugu Yu, and it was the first time they had met since the dissolution of the Wuchuan Society last year.

Dou Wei deserved to have a thorough understanding of the Dugu family, and told Li Yuanji about the biggest weakness of the Dugu family, and the evidence that the Dugu family secretly supported the enemy army was conclusive, and the four volumes of account books finally made Dugu usurp succumb, and had to convene all the heads of the family to discuss how to divide the money and grain according to Li Yuanji's requirements.

With the last head of the family in place, everyone arrived, and Dugu Yu waved his hand to everyone: "Everyone, please be quiet!" ”

The hall gradually quieted down, and Dugu said: "I gathered everyone together today to discuss one thing with you, and I won't hide it from you, the saint once again apportioned millions of stone money and grain to the Guanlong nobles......

Before he finished speaking, the hall immediately exploded, and everyone shouted angrily, "Why are you here again, even if you treat us as sheep who cut their hair, you have to wait for our hair to grow, and now you can't pick up the green and yellow, where is the money and food for him!" ”

Someone angrily reprimanded: "Where is the Luoyang business promised last year? Even if the attack on Luoyang fails, at least you have to give us an explanation, and that's it, when your promise is a fart? ”

"Yu Gong died in vain!"

Everyone was gossiping, all of them were angry, Dugu waved his hand, and asked everyone to be quiet, "Everyone listen to me, please be quiet!" Hear me out. ”

Everyone quieted down again, and Dugu said, "I need to finish speaking, and then we will discuss what to do?" ”

Dugu Yu looked at everyone and saw that everyone was listening to him, so he continued: "Same as last time, it is still a million stone grain and 500,000 guan money, the Dou family, the Dou Lu family and the eldest grandson family have already pledged 300,000 stone grain and 100,000 guan money, and the remaining 700,000 stone grain and 400,000 guan money will be shared by us here today. ”

Everyone didn't say anything, if it was just when the founding of the country promised to seal the country, everyone was still very tempted, but now seeing that the momentum of the Great Zhou Empire is in full swing, the army is victorious, and the strength has far exceeded that of the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, Hou Mo Chen Duo asked: "Just now the Dugu family master said that the matter of the Guogong was just heard, didn't the Holy Lord tell the Dugu family master himself?" ”

"I told the head of the Dugu family!" A cold voice suddenly came from the door of the lobby,

As soon as everyone turned around, they saw dozens of Xuanwu Jingwei walking into the lobby surrounded by Li Yuanji, the king of Chu, and everyone stood up and glared angrily at Li Yuanji, no one in Chang'an did not hate Li Yuanji, and the heads of these Guanzhong nobles were no exception.

At this time, a housekeeper anxiously ran in from the side door and whispered a few words to Dugu Yu, Dugu Yu's face suddenly changed greatly, and he shouted angrily: "Why did His Royal Highness the King of Chu surround the house with an army? ”

This sentence caused an uproar among the people, they were actually surrounded by the army, Yu Qinming asked sharply: "Does the King of Chu want to take the opportunity to kill us?" ”

Li Yuanji glanced at everyone, and said with a yin smile: "Everyone misunderstood, this is my habit, I like to bring a little subordinate wherever I go, everyone rest assured, it's not an army, it's just three thousand Xuanwu Jingwei, and it's also to protect everyone's safety." ”

"Fart!" Someone scolded in a low voice.

Li Yuanji's face suddenly sank, and he asked, "Who said that?" Who is it! ”

No one said anything in the lobby, Li Yuanji glared at Zhao Shang fiercely, he had heard Zhao Shang's voice just now.

Dugu Yu said again: "We are discussing the distribution of money and food, Your Highness is afraid that we will not agree, so you will send the army to threaten us, if so, Your Highness has made a mistake, we can support the Tang Army, but we will definitely not accept the threat of violence." ”

Li Yuanji sneered and said, "Where does the Dugu family support Tang Jun, is it clear that they support Zhang Xuan?" 50,000 barrels of Gao Nu fire oil burned countless Tang Army soldiers, and it seems that the master of the Dugu family is not ashamed at all. ”

Dugu Yu didn't say a word, glaring at Li Yuanji angrily, originally he had decided to persuade everyone to share the money and food this time, but at this time, Li Yuanji's threat made him change his mind, no matter what Li Yuan did, he just wouldn't do it.

Li Yuanji said unhurriedly: "I visited the head of the Dugu family this afternoon, hoping that he could gather everyone to support the Tang Army's money and food, and then I remembered that I seemed to have forgotten one thing, so I came tonight to talk to you about another matter, and it just so happened that everyone was there, and a decision could be made on the spot." ”

"If you have anything else, you might as well say it directly!" Dugu said coldly.
