Yu Yun and Dugu walked into the door one after the other, and before they reached the hall, they heard a sudden roar in the hall, "We won't do it!" Resolutely do not do it! ”

I heard Hou Mo Chen Duo say angrily: "What does he think of us, even if we shear sheep, we have to wait for the hair to grow before shearing, now it's only a few months, and it's about to start again, we have no money, no food, we want to raid the house and destroy the door and go with him." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Immediately afterwards, I heard Zhao Yuanjun's dissatisfaction, "Dou Xiangguo asked himself, isn't our support for him enough?" But how did his army behave? Losing consecutive battles, hundreds of thousands of stone grains are thrown away at every turn, it is really too easy to come with money and food, he is not distressed at all, but who will guarantee our interests? If the leader of the Dugu Old Alliance was here, the only thing he would discuss when he convened everyone was how to resist, not force everyone to share the money and food. ”

At this time, Yu Yun and Dugu Yu walked into the lobby, and saw Dou Wei with an embarrassed face at a glance, Zhao Yuanjun said this very sharply, and pointed out that Dou Wei and Dugu Shun's positions were completely different, leaving Dou Wei speechless.

Just as Yu Yun walked in, Dou Wei hurriedly stepped forward as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw and said, "Why did Yu Xian's nephew come now?" ”

"The court has official business, and I went home a little late, so I rushed to it as soon as I got home, and I didn't even have time to eat dinner."

"I see, I've worked hard for my nephew, please sit down, and I'll give my nephew a briefing on the situation."

Yu Yun smiled faintly, "I heard it just now, it should be another mission from the Holy Lord, right?" ”

"Hey! I can't help it, now it seems that I'm Dou Wei persecuting everyone, it's chilling, alas, it's hard to be a good person! ”

Dou Wei sighed, this time he really didn't want to bear his head again, when the prince told him about it at noon, he refused, but the saint immediately sent someone to summon him into the palace, coerced and lured, and forced him to agree, but now he has become the target of the public, which makes him feel aggrieved and annoyed in his heart.

At this time, Yu Yun got up and said, "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me!" ”

The lobby gradually quieted down, more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at Yu Yun, Yu Yun said unhurriedly: "Actually, I am also dissatisfied and surprised like everyone, the dissatisfaction is that the interval between the last time and the last time is too short, and the frequent burden makes many of our families feel difficult, but compared to dissatisfaction, I am more surprised, because last time we only paid a million stone grain and 500,000 yuan, it is difficult for me to calculate how to spend the money, but I think the food is a little strange, because the Tang army also got hundreds of thousands of stone grain after capturing Jiangling, And the previous attack on Jiangling was with the money and grain of the local government of Bashu counties, so where did the million stone grain we paid last time go? Why is there such a big gap and vulnerability? I think the court should make this clear. ”

Yu Yun's questioning caused a whisper, this is indeed a very strange phenomenon, judging from common sense, the imperial court should still have a lot of grain in stock, why should they ask for grain?

At this time, Dou Jin, who had been silent, got up and said, "I'll explain this matter." ”

The lobby was quiet again, Dou Jin was Xiangguo after all, and it was more convincing for him to explain the matter.

Dou Jin said slowly: "From October last year to today, the imperial court has been paying off debts, mainly the old debts of the army, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers have died 150,000 people before and after, but the death pension has never been actually paid, according to the regulations, each person should get a pension of 20 yuan, which is 3 million yuan, so the imperial court paid with a combination of land, grain and copper money, and barely paid off the military debt that had been owed for several years at the beginning of the year, and paid 800,000 stone for grain alone, plus disaster relief and military food for Longyou, one million stone of grain was consumed, As for the spoils of the capture of Jiangling, I am sorry to tell you that Baling County was broken by the Sui army, and half of this batch of loot was lost, and the other half was in Jiangxia, I estimate that it will still fall into the hands of the Sui army. ”

Dou Jin expressed his attitude, and Lu Kuan, another Xiangguo who was present, also got up and said: "Dou Xiangguo has basically made the problem clear, but I still need to add one point, that is, why the imperial court is in urgent need of money and food, the news I just got this morning is that Wang Shichong's army has entered Nanjun and is preparing to storm Jiangling, that is to say, Wang Shichong has not hesitated to turn his face with Zhang Xuan in order to take Nanjun, the saint thinks that this is a major opportunity for us to attack Luoyang, and the losses we suffered in the south must be replenished by Wang Shichong, And there is a major matter that everyone needs to understand, this time the saint is asking everyone to borrow money, and after the capture of Luoyang, use Luoyang's commerce to repay, I believe everyone understands, what it means to control the rice market in Luoyang, what it means to monopolize salt and cloth, and all kinds of benefits are the compensation of the saint to everyone. ”

The lobby was silent, everyone was thinking about their own affairs, although it was still a very distant thing to capture Luoyang, but the various benefits promised by Li Yuan made people have to be tempted.

After a while, Hou Mo Chen Duo asked, "I don't know how to divide the money and grain this time?" ”

Dou Wei saw that everyone's resistance was not as strong as just now, so he hit the railway while it was hot: "I consider dividing the distribution of money and grain this time into two ways, one is to subscribe, if the recognition is insufficient, then the rest will be evenly shared, in this way, I think everyone's burden will not be very heavy, this time a total of one million stone grain and 500,000 guan money, gold can also be, one or two gold is converted into twenty guan money, we divide the grain and copper money into one hundred, one is 10,000 stone grain and 5,000 guan money, and finally repay it with Luoyang commerce, It will be distributed according to the number of shares subscribed by everyone, and the larger the number of subscriptions, the more benefits will be obtained, so it will show fairness, let's express our position! ”

There was still silence in the lobby, and Dou Wei had no choice but to say again: "Then I will throw bricks and lead jade, the Dou family will subscribe first, and the Dou family will subscribe for twenty shares, that is to say, take out 200,000 stone grain and 100,000 yuan." ”

Now that the Dou family has subscribed, the Dugu family can't lag behind, so Dugu said: "The Dugu family is the same as the Dou family, subscribe for twenty shares." ”

Yu Yun raised his hand and said, "Yu Jia subscribes for five shares!" ”

"The Hou Mochen family also subscribed for five shares!"

"The Zhao family is also five parts!"

"The Yuan family subscribes for five shares!"

"Three copies of the eldest grandson family!"

Everyone expressed their attitudes, and in just a moment, they divided up the target of one million stone grain and 500,000 guan money, and the last two smaller families, the Daxi family and the Helan family, had no share, and the Dou family and the Dugu family had to give them two shares each, and in just one hour, they solved the money for the food needed by the Tang army's eastward crusade.

That night, Dou Wei entered the palace again and reported the results of raising money to Li Yuan, the son of heaven, Li Yuan had just fallen asleep, and when he heard that Dou Wei urgently asked to see him, he immediately got up and met Dou Wei in the inner hall.

Li Yuan stood in front of the window with his hands in front of the window and listened to Dou Wei tell the details of the fund-raising, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of imperceptible sneer, these Guanlong nobles were not without money and food, but they were unwilling to take it out to support themselves, and gave them a little sweetness and generously donated money, which shows that these people are still in charge, regardless of the overall situation, if one day Zhang Xuan promises him a little benefit, will they turn to the Northern Sui?

Li Yuan suddenly felt that these people were really unreliable, but then again, not only the Guanlong nobles were seeking profit, but also the hundred officials of the imperial court who were not pursuing profit? There is nothing wrong with that.

In the final analysis, in addition to the children of his own family, it is really difficult to find reliable people, he Li Yuan understands this truth, Wang Shichong of Luoyang also understands, and it is estimated that Zhang Xuan also understands, but he has no family children, so he did not dare to ascend the throne for a long time, and had to sacrifice the power of the dynasty and firmly control the military power in his own hands.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan's heart felt a little more comfortable, and he turned back to Dou Wei and said: "Go back and tell them that I will not break my promise, but I hope that they will really help Tang Jun, and only if they help will they gain, but in any case, I thank them for their generosity today." ”

"Wechen will definitely tell you."

"Go ahead! It's too late, Dou Gong has a hard day, rest early! ”

Dou Wei bowed and slowly retreated, but Li Yuan didn't feel sleepy, he walked to the map and stared at the map of Jingbei for a long time. (To be continued.) )
