Chapter 76: Give Money
On the second day of Wu Zijing's ambush, Yongcheng changed hands like this.
At the same time that Xu Yin sent people back to report the news, the envoys also left Yongcheng in a hurry.
If they don't leave, they are afraid that the belongings at the bottom of the box will be hollowed out.
In the morning, the little guy came to knock on the bamboo pole and said eloquently: "How delicate our third lady is, for the sake of the overall situation, she came alone to break into the tiger's den." You don't have to bother to plan, and you don't have to take risks, shouldn't you give money? ”
The envoys were speechless when they said this, and if they think about it carefully, it is indeed worth it to give some money to solve Wu Zijing's big trouble.
There is a humane: "What the little brother said is true." When the old man came to Yongcheng, he brought some gifts, and he sent them over after a while to express his feelings. ”
Yan Ji nodded and asked kindly, "Where is your envoy's gift?" Is there a gift list? ”
The messenger was also honest, and said: "As soon as the limousine came, it was dragged back to the palace by the Liang soldiers, little brother, wait, I will ask someone to find it." ”
How do you know that Yan Ji's face changed, and he said in a strange manner: "It turns out that Wu Zijing has already been asked to eat it!" You make this abacus fine, and the thief is ambushed, and the property he looted will naturally be confiscated, and this confiscated thing can still be transferred to our third lady? If our third lady takes it, won't it become a bribe? You wouldn't mean to, would you? ”
The messenger was startled and hurriedly said, "No, no, no, that's not what the old man meant. ”
The others were dumbfounded. Who doesn't know that confiscation is to be confiscated to Nanyuan's treasury? Miss Xu San just takes what she wants, will her father not allow it? What do you say about greed, and who do you scare?
But this little guy obviously deliberately used chicken feathers as arrows, and looked at the messenger with a smile and did not speak.
Under his gaze, the envoy struggled for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth: "What the little brother said is that the old man can't do anything about this, and he has to report the assassination ......."
Hearing him say this, Yan Ji's expression quickly softened, and he looked very good: "Oh, if your envoy has a difficulty, you should have said it earlier!" This matter is easy to do, our third lady has already calculated according to the population of each state capital, and if you are willing, sign it, take it back and hand it over to the person in charge. Isn't it simple? Come on, come on, take a look. ”
He pulled a booklet out of his sleeve and spread it out on the table.
The envoys stepped forward to take a look, and the expressions on their faces were suddenly very exciting.
In this booklet, it is written that there are different amounts of grain, grass, cloth, gold and silver, and they ask for a lot, but they do not exceed their psychological bottom line - who counts this? It's too fine, right? Sure enough, it came according to the population.
"How? Do you sign it? The little guy was still smiling at them, and the guards at the door were watching.
It seems that if you don't sign, you won't be able to leave, and now that the Xu family has won Yongcheng, its strength will definitely rise. The so-called people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, forget it, if Wu Zijing is not dead, it is all delusional to use such a sum of money and food to ensure safety, and presumably his own adults are also willing.
Someone asked uneasily: "After signing this, there are no other conditions, right?" ”
"No, no," Yan Ji patted his chest and promised, "Our third young lady said, since you have paid for it, then you have a share of the credit for killing Wu Zijing, why do you need other conditions?" ”
Oh, which means a one-time buyout.
The envoys put down the big stone in their hearts, and finally someone relented: "What Miss Xu San said is that we are willing, so we will sign." ”
Some people took the lead, and others soon followed.
This is the condition of the Xu family, and they can't help it! Anyway, if you sign it, you will go back and report to the person who is in charge, and you don't have to pay the money in person.
It's just that after such a show, they don't dare to stay longer. This Miss Xu San is not only fierce, but also greedy, and it is better to deal less with her in the future.
Yan Ji took the signed roster and whistled to hand over the errand.
When I walked to the road, I saw my son-in-law sitting under the porch, and went over to say hello: "Childe! Why don't you sleep more? I didn't rest until that late last night. ”
"I'll wake up automatically at the point, what's the solution?" Yan Ling glanced at him and said, "You're pretty early!" Is this to help Miss Xu San? ”
"yes!" Yan Ji handed over the booklet as if offering a treasure, "Childe, you see, this is the grain and grass that the state governments promised to offer." Miss Xu San is really smart, with these grains and grasses, Nanyuan will be able to recruit soldiers. Hey, can we do the same? In the past few years, there have been many thieves, helping neighboring state capitals to suppress bandits, and then collecting money, so you don't have to worry about food and grass! ”
However, Yan Ling poured a basin of cold water on him: "What do you want?" The Xu family can do this because they don't want to subdue these people. After all, Nanyuan is a small place, and Yongcheng has just been obtained, with their strength, if they are in a hurry to subdue the state capitals at this time, the foundation will be unstable. ”
Yan Ji touched his head: "Is that so?" Don't they want to increase their strength? ”
Yan Ling said: "I want to think about it, but I have to eat the rice one bite at a time, and I can't be in a hurry." Look at Miss Xu San, she asked people to send Wu Zijing's head back to Liangdu, just to express goodwill, as long as the people of the Daliang clan return to power, they will definitely be friendly with the Xu family, and they will be able to get a hidden helper. As for the old Chu Prefectures, they all supported their own troops, and now they don't want to take refuge in others at all, but they can't be in a hurry. ”
Yan Ji seemed to understand: "Oh. ”
Yan Ling shook off the booklet, and couldn't help but smile on his face: "This method of asking for grain and grass can be said to be counted in one fell swoop." First, the Xu family single-handedly killed Wu Zijing, who was feared by everyone, causing a de facto threat, but the strength was not enough to subdue the states, so it was better to buy it out with money to make them feel at ease. Second, it left the impression that Miss Xu San was greedy for money in Zhuzhou, and she was not so afraid of her. Third, as you said, with such a large amount of food and grass, there are many things that can be done. ”
When he finished speaking, he found that Yan Ji was staring at him and didn't move, and touched his face in wonder: "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”
Yan Ji sighed: "Childe, the little one regrets it!" ”
Yan Ling was inexplicable: "What do you have to regret?" I said that when I came to Yongcheng before, I was scared to death, but isn't it safe now? ”
"It's not this, I mean......" Yan Ji said with a bitter face, "Childe, why don't we change objects?" Miss Xu San is so powerful, even if she really becomes a relative, I'm afraid that it won't be her who will marry Nanyuan, but you will be rich! ”
When it came to this, Yan Ling felt uncomfortable, slapped the booklet to him, and said fiercely: "What is the marriage?" What's going on your head? Son, my marriage has the order of my parents, and it is your turn to say? ”
Yan Ji snorted: "Who is thinking?" As soon as Miss Xu San was mentioned, he smiled like that......"
Yan Ling made a gesture to fight: "You still say? ”
Yan Ji hurriedly made a sealing action, and ran away with the booklet: "The little one doesn't dare, the little one will do this thing!" ”
Hey, Childe's preference is really different......
