When people's lives are difficult, they will focus on their small home, and when their lives change dramatically, people will often turn their eyes from their small home to a wider world.

When the merchants took on most of the tax burden of the empire, it was inevitable that they would ask the state for more say in the matter, and He Shao was such a person.

"Yezi, no, the desert has become an empty shell, you can't ask them for more things, now the Tang people are using fierce fire oil for lighting, if you want to increase the military reserves, then don't blame us for raising the price of fire oil, in short, our profits can't be reduced."

Yun Zheng circled around He Shao, who was like a mountain of meat, twice, and saw that He Shao's hairs stood up, and then Yun Ye said, "When did you have the courage to bargain with the military department?" ”

He Shao wiped his face and said with a wry smile: "Of course I don't dare alone, but when there are many people behind me, I can't help but dare, the sixteen poor princes of the Western Regions are now looking for oil springs in their own land, don't you say, they really found three places, there is one on the Wild Horse Plain, they swore to fight the world together, and now after being cleaned up by the Tocharians, they swear to defend their oil springs together from loss, I am a pawn they sent to find a market, You want to take 30% in one go, do you want them to live? ”

Yun Ye shook his head with a smile and said, "Fatty, you know what I did in Beiting back then, and I asked you for thirty percent at a low price, which is already enough to give you face, otherwise I will hand over this matter to Zuo Shilang Changsun Chong to talk to you?" ”

When He Shao heard this, he immediately rolled on the ground and cried, crying extremely sadly, Yun Ye knew that this was this guy deliberately sympathizing in front of him, but he saw his snot and tears on his face. Irritably, he threw the hand towel to him and said: "You fucking know how to cry, you know how to come here, and you finally know that you are afraid, now I ask you, do you give thirty percent of the cheap oil?" ”

He Shao, who was crying in a daze, immediately said loudly: "Don't give it!" ”

Yun Ye, whose nostrils were smoking, roared and said, "Then go and talk to Eldest Sun Chong!" He Shao immediately began to cry again, this time holding Yun Ye's leg and smashing his head vigorously. While crying, he said: "If you want to watch my whole family being killed by Changsun Chong, you can hand me over to Changsun Chong, I am dead inside and out, it is better to die here than to die in you." ”

Yun Ye pulled out his leg twice and didn't pull it out, so he had to say in a trembling voice: "Liangcheng, if you dare to say half a word, I will chop you into eight pieces now, and I don't need to bother Changsun Chong!" ”

Hearing Yun Ye say two percent, He Shao immediately stopped crying. He sniffled and said: "A word is a decision, and you can't increase it in the future, forget it, or sign the contract immediately." As he spoke, he took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Yun Ye and asked him to sign it.

Yun Ye walked behind the table with difficulty, drank half a pot of herbal tea in a big gulp to settle down, took the paper and looked at it, there were already four signatures and seals on it, only the place where the Ministry of War notified the border gate to open was still blank.

"Good ability. City Ship Division, customs clearance documents for the Kannai Road. Zhongshu Province has already taken care of you, only the military department is missing, and you can still expect that I will agree to the conditions of 20% parity oil, you bastard can be regarded as doing business to the extreme. ”

He Shao washed his face from the basin of clear water on the side of the wall, he was crying just now, and after washing his face, he hugged Yun Ye and drank the remaining half pot of tea, and then said, "This trick can only be used in front of you." If I had been in front of Changsun Chong, I would have been hacked to death with a knife. ”

"You're really not worried that I'll let you go to Changsun Chong?"

"Don't worry, we're in a group, even if you are half angry and kick me a few times at most, what else can you do. We've been friends for twenty years, so we don't know your temper? There are fewer and fewer old friends, and even if I don't fight for it, you're willing to punish me, aren't you? ”

Looking at He Shao's disgusting fat face, Yun Ye quickly signed the seal of the Ministry of War on the big piece of paper, and threw it to He Shao to ask him to hurry up, He Shao was not angry and smiled and picked up the paper, carefully dried the ink on it, and then arched his hand towards Yun Ye and planned to leave.

"If the eldest grandson's family is very tormented, you will move to the Yun family Zhuangzi to live, and the people of the eldest grandson's family will not dare to go there."

"Oh, I've already moved my home, so you don't have to worry about such a trivial matter." He Shao smiled proudly, put the paperwork into his arms, and walked out of the door of the lobby, and saw from a distance the eldest grandson chong standing in the official room on the left holding his fist and saluting.

Watching He Shao leave, Changsun Chong slowly paced to Yun Ye's lobby and said, "Plundering the Western Regions and filling the country, this was originally the national policy set by the imperial court, why did Yun Hou turn a blind eye, could it be that Yun Hou really wants to see a prosperous Western Regions?" ”

Yun Ye glanced at the eldest grandson Chong and said: "Zuo Shilang is reasonable, but there should also be a degree of plunder, His Majesty sent the sixteen kings to the Western Regions back then, not to prepare them to fend for themselves, but to simplify the implementation of Chao Wrong's idea of cutting royal power, in the final analysis, they are still the descendants of the Li family, speaking of which, the sixteen kings and you and I are all relatives, and the appropriate strength to loosen the neck is called relaxation, and no policy is immutable, don't be too persistent." ”

"If the person who came today is not He Shao, what should Yunhou do?"

Yun Ye thought carefully for a while and said, "It is estimated that it will follow three percent, and it cannot be the current two percent." ”

The eldest grandson sighed and said: "The national law and discipline are to be enacted, Yunhou is opening his mouth everywhere like this, but it is not the way to govern, as long as you open a small opening, the subordinates of the military department can pull out a big hole, these are still the teachings of Yunhou back then, could it be that Yunhou has forgotten it?" ”

Yun Ye laughed and said: "That is the wild words of the youth, we must have confidence in our subordinates now, we can't be overly suspicious, and the mentality of the superior still has to have." ”

"What an amiable Yunhou, I don't know how Wang Xiaojie, who is still wailing in prison, should feel when he hears this?" As long as Changsun Chong mentioned Wang Xiaojie, he was a little angry.

Yun Ye still smiled and said: "It's not my fault, I wanted to let him out back then, and I sent a small official to release him, who knew that Wang Xiaojie actually said that I locked him up back then, so I need to release him in person, it's really weird, I'm busy with official business, and I don't have time to pay attention to him, so I continue to lock him up." ”

One sentence couldn't say a word that the eldest grandson was choking, Yun Ye was right, he ordered Wang Xiaojie to be released back then, but Wang Xiaojie mistakenly thought that Yun Ye had fallen behind in the political struggle, and had to let himself out, in order to show his heart to the eldest grandson's family and insult Yun Ye, he asked Yun Ye to release him personally, but Yun Ye withdrew the order, and now, Wang Xiaojie is already a famous joke in Chang'an City, and he forgot about this matter for a while.

The long took a breath and hugged his fists and said, "Eldest Sun Chong asked Yunhou to release Wang Xiaojie!" ”

Yun Ye thought for a while, threw a token to Changsun Chong and said, "Ask him to take care of his stinky mouth, otherwise next time, I will lock him up for thirty years." ”

Changsun Chong nodded and left the lobby, this time he used He Shao's matter to make an exchange, Wang Xiaojie was able to get out of prison, now Wang Xiaojie has no use value, Changsun Chong just made an exchange for the sake of the face of the eldest grandson's family.

Wang Xiaojie was lying in the rotten grass with blank eyes, and the lice on his body were blatantly burrowing around, he still regretted why he said those stupid words, but he didn't expect the little official to say that he would invite the Hou Ye, but he didn't invite him for two years.

There was a rustling of footsteps outside, this was an official step, Wang Xiaojie knew very well that this was an official step, and such rhythmic footsteps were definitely not the footsteps of the jailer who brought him food every day.

His mind immediately became lively, and he slammed into the fence and shouted at the top of his voice: "Yunhou, Yunhou, the last general knows his mistake, and begs Yunhou to give the last general a chance to change." ”

The footsteps were close, and sure enough, it was a pair of soap boots, judging from the exquisite workmanship, it must be Shangguan, and when he raised his head slightly, he saw a purple robe, and a pair of tightly clenched hands were still very shiny, who else was there besides Yun Ye in such a young purple robe?

"Yunhou will know his mistake at the end, and he will know his mistake at the end, ask the marshal to be gracious!" Wang Xiaojie lay on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

After a long time, there was no movement, Wang Xiaojie peeked over, and suddenly it was like being struck by lightning, his brain was blank, he forgot about it, the eldest grandson Chongguan to the doctor of Yinqing Guanglu, and he was also qualified to wear a purple robe.

Wang Xiaojie, who was completely frozen, couldn't stop crying down, he knew that he might not have any hope of getting out of prison in this life.

The eldest grandson Chong shook the token in his hand at Wang Xiaojie, put it in his arms, turned around and left the military prison, he was already able to release Wang Xiaojie from prison, but he was unwilling to let him out, the face of the eldest grandson's family has returned, as for such a fool who always does the wrong thing, what if he is rotten in the prison? Thinking of what Yun Ye said before, Changsun Chong felt very reasonable, Wang Xiaojie was the "pig teammate" who dragged down the team.

After the eldest grandson rushed away, Wang Xiaojie cried loudly, kept hitting his head with his fist, kept hitting his head on the ground, and after a while, his head broke and bled out.

The eldest grandson Chong returned the token order to Yun Ye, and walked out of the military department to go home, today's errand has been completed, Shuo Fang's military discipline is scattered, and it has indeed reached the point where it should be rectified, and if you don't fight for a long time, the pawn will become a coward.

After listening to the little official's report, Yun Ye shook his head and said to the little official: "Take the token and let Wang Xiaohui go!" ”

The little official who was still very sympathetic to Wang Xiaojie just now, hurried back to the military prison, saw Wang Xiaojie with a bloody face and straight eyes, and said: "General Wang, Yunhou ordered me to let you out, now you can go home, don't say a word more, hurry up, it's too late!" ”

Wang Xiaojie walked out of the prison with the little official like a walking corpse, looked up at the sun in the sky, first laughed twice, and then cried twice, and walked home step by step with a cry and a smile...... (To be continued......)
