Yan Yunge coughed lightly.
"On behalf of Xiao Yi, I would like to thank Lord Ling for his generosity! I don't know how much food Lord Ling decided to donate to support the soldiers defending the city? ”
Ling Changzhi stared at Shi Wen and said, "This official has decided to donate 300 quintals of grain and grass and 30,000 yuan of money. ”
Yan Yunge smiled, "Thank you, Lord Ling, I will arrange for someone to collect the materials as soon as possible and send them to the city wall." Prime Minister, Lord Ling is generous, and when he goes out of the city, he should give the Ling family enough care. ”
Shi Wen smiled, "Mrs. Yan will break the rules by doing this?" ”
Yan Yunge pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't worry, Prime Minister, this matter is limited to you and me." If the others want to leave the city, they have to draw fifty percent of their property according to the requirements. ”
"So, the old man has no opinion! Changzhi is the nephew of the old man, and the old man can't watch him suffer heavy losses. Shi Wen readily agreed.
But......
Yan Yunge looked at Ling Changzhi with a smile, "Lord Ling's treasury should still have a lot of grain stored. Three hundred quintals, I thought it was too little. It's better to change it to a thousand quintals! ”
"Hahaha......"
Shi Wen laughed loudly, laughing so much that tears came out.
Look, that's what happens when you're playing tricks.
Is Yan Yunge really easy to coax?
Three hundred loads of grain wanted to send Yan Yunge away, wishful thinking.
I don't want to think about it, Yan Yunge is a dark-hearted master than the two of them.
They only dared to ask for 10,000 yuan, or 20,000 yuan for leaving the city.
She's the Lord who asks for fifty percent when she opens her mouth.
Count her, now dumbfounded!
Shi Wen watched Ling Changzhi eat deflated, and he was very happy.
The two uncles and nephews are in a relationship of cooperating with each other and demolishing each other.
There is a chance that both sides will not forget to step on it, and there is no pressure to fall into the well.
Ling Changzhi looked confused, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he was so tired!
He looked at Yan Yunge, why was her heart so dark?
1,000 quintals of grain, why don't you grab it?
Sure enough, his heart is black, and his hands are also black.
He covered his mouth and coughed lightly, and said solemnly: "After leaving the city, all the way south, the weather is cold, and I don't know how much time I have to delay on the road." Along the way, people eat and chew horses, and the daily consumption of grain and grass will be an astronomical amount. The Ling family did still have some food, but the consumption was also huge. Why don't you do this, and subsidize the grain and grass of the soldiers who defend the city, and I will increase it to 500 quintals. This was already the maximum amount that the Ling family could afford. ”
Yan Yunge smiled slightly, "Lord Ling has a heart!" Considering that everyone still has a long way to go after leaving the city, and they will have to consume food and grass along the way, I can't make excessive demands. Eight hundred quintals. Lord Ling gave me 800 loads of grain and grass, and this matter ended here. ”
Ling Changzhi's eyebrows twitched, and he bargained, "Six hundred quintals, it can't be more." ”
Yan Yunge shook his head slightly, disagreeing.
At least 800 quintals of grain, otherwise there is nothing to talk about.
Shi Wen helped Yan Yunge, "Changzhi, if you are so unrelenting, then when you go out of the city, you will be charged according to the standard of fifty percent." Don't bargain here, it's boring. Of course, you can also not pay a penny, then you can not leave the city until the capital city is broken. I just don't know if I can escape from Wuheng's soldiers and horses. ”
Of course, Ling Changzhi had to leave the city in advance, his life was very precious.
He gritted his teeth, "Eight hundred quintals is eight hundred quintals!" After leaving the city, people ate horses and chewed along the way, and they counted on the prime minister to find a way to solve it. ”
Shi Wen snorted, "Don't worry, the old man has used his ability to squeeze oil, and he will squeeze out the grain of the major families no matter what, and he will not let go of any of them." If Changzhi doesn't dislike it, how can the old man take on this important task together. ”
Ling Changzhi was also very dry, "Okay! I will work with the Prime Minister to squeeze oil for the Great Wei River! ”
Yan Yunge successfully aroused the enthusiasm of the two, and she had a sense of accomplishment.
……
Inside information that you can leave the city in advance is quietly circulating over the houses.
Princess Chengyang was the first to act.
She wanted to get out of the city as soon as possible, and while the road was still clear, she hurried out of the city and went south to avoid the military disaster.
As a result, the housekeeper who went out to inquire about the news told her that if she wanted to leave the city early, she had to pay fifty percent of the labor and military expenses. Based on the materials out of the city, no money will be given.
"Ridiculous!"
Princess Chengyang scolded and scolded Pingwu Hou Shiwen for drilling into the eyes of money.
"Bastard thing, he dared to ask for even the money of the palace, but he turned against him!"
The steward trembled, and told her worse news, "It is said that the soldiers guarding the city gate can share the money of the labor." Moreover, Prime Minister Shi Cheng organized all the yamen, Jin Wuwei, Xiuyi Wei, the forbidden army, the Yuzhou soldiers and horses, the southern army, the remnants of the northern army, and even Jing Zhaoyin's official service...... These people defended the city together, and they didn't give everyone a chance to take advantage of the loopholes.
His Royal Highness Mingjian, Yuzhou soldiers and horses are the lords that the six relatives do not recognize. and the remnants of the Northern Army are even more dissatisfied, and they are rolling up their sleeves and preparing to do a big job. The old slave also heard that other yamen were not angry and could not participate in the sharing of money, what Taifu Temple, Taichang Temple...... They all asked to join the important task of guarding the city gates.
Now anyone who wants to get out of the city has to pass five levels and kill six generals, and honestly be drawn fifty percent of the money before they can get out of the city. The old slave even heard that they even had to take a cut of His Majesty's money. ”
"It's the other way around, it's the other way around! Are they trying to rebel? Even His Majesty's money has to be raked, why don't you go and rob the Shaofu treasury directly? ”
The butler bowed his head and did not dare to speak.
Princess Chengyang was so angry that she smashed a set of white porcelain tea sets.
It's infuriating!
"This palace doesn't believe that these bastards really dare to intercept and extract fifty percent of the materials. You go to the gates and keep an eye on them to see if anyone is sneaking out of the city. ”
The steward took the order and departed.
……
Just when everyone was full of righteous indignation, they scolded Shi Wen for being cunning and cunning, his heart was dirty, and he didn't forget to get rich in the face of the national disaster, and he was not worthy of being a person......
To everyone's surprise, the Tao family who stayed in the capital took the lead in leading the clansmen out of the city.
Dozens of carts, mighty and mighty, headed towards the south city gate.
Every family sent a steward to look around and find out the first-hand news.
The Tao family's convoy, near the city gate, was intercepted.
The soldiers at the city gate inspected the materials one by one, and a group of account offices registered and accounted for them one by one.
The soldiers inspected very carefully, and refused to let go of even a rag. Even the headdress on the head of the female dependents is counted.
It was almost a direct body search.
was so angry that the women's eyes were red, hated and angry.
They are the queen mother's mother's family, and they were humiliated and bullied too much.
It was the elders of the family who told them to exercise restraint and patience and not to clash with the soldiers of the city gate.
The Tao family also counted on the soldiers of the city gate to escort them out of the city.
Yes, while the soldiers of the city gate drew fifty percent of the money, they also undertook a task to escort them out of the city.
The escort distance ranges from twenty to fifty miles, ensuring that it will not be pursued by Wuheng's soldiers and horses, even if the escort mission is completed.
This Tao family who stayed in the capital is called the Tao family in the capital, not the Changfang of the Yanzhi.
After the separation, the group of Tao family members who were brought back to their ancestral home by Tao Boss were the authentic family members of the elder brother and the serious queen mother's family.
Their group of Tao family in the capital, as a partial branch, is in a national crisis, and basically can't count on the care of the Empress Dowager Tao.
That's why I will be the first to venture out of the city, rush back to my ancestral hometown as soon as possible, and seek a way to survive.
In any case, it is the Tao family, the Empress Dowager Tao doesn't care about them, and the Tao boss can't and doesn't care about them.
The bookkeeper took the abacus and counted it.
According to the number, the soldiers withheld fifty percent of the supplies.
Most of them were money, gold and silver, and only one cart of grain was kept.
Yan Yunge had already explained that he couldn't be too ruthless in withholding food.
With so many people going out of the city, they have to eat and drink all the way, and they can't cut off everyone's way of life.
Shi Wen thought so, so he extracted fifty percent of the materials, mainly gold and silver, followed by grain.
Then, the Tao family was escorted by Yuzhou soldiers and horses and went out of the city smoothly.
The gates slowly closed again.
The onlookers breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, I almost suffocated them.
They followed the Tao family and worried together.
I am afraid that this group of city gate soldiers will come chaotically and unruly.
Soon, the crowd of onlookers dispersed and went back to their homes to report the situation.
……
Princess Chengyang was so angry that she couldn't do it.
"The Tao family in the capital is a wreck, backed by the Empress Dowager Tao, and even honestly let the soldiers of the city gate extract fifty percent of the assets. He deserves not to be seen. There is a big Buddha who is the Empress Dowager Tao, who doesn't know how to use it, and she was the first to run out of the city to escape for her life, and she deserved to die. ”
The middle horse didn't say a word.
Princess Chengyang scolded him, "Are you dumb? The princess's mansion, plus the Zhong family, how many supplies have to be transported out of the city. Really let the soldiers of the city gate draw fifty percent, then you have to go! You can stand it, but I can't. ”
Zhong Juma sighed, he was reluctant to give up fifty percent of his assets!
The Zhong family is a low-key wealthy family.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the Zhong family is the richest man in the capital.
The assets that can be taken away are absolutely astronomical to be extracted, which can shock everyone's jaws.
I'm afraid that Shaofu will be embarrassed in the face of the Zhong family's assets.
As the commander of the Shaofu family, Zhong Yuma naturally knows how many assets the Shaofu can take away now.
It's really not as rich as the Zhong family.
That's the accumulation of generations of the Zhong family.
Really let that group of ** take a cut, he has to die of distress!
But......
Ay......
"Now all the yamen want to share in this wave of benefits, and they want to buy the soldiers of the city gate to go out of the city, which is basically impossible. Shi Wen gathered the people of various yamen together on an errand for the fundamental purpose of supervising each other. bought the embroidered guard, and couldn't buy Jin Wuwei. If you buy the Southern Army, you can't buy the remnants of the Northern Army. Hey......"
He's worried, too!
Princess Chengyang said eagerly: "Hurry up and find a way!" You go to find Shi Wen, find Ling Changzhi, you can find anyone, you must let the supplies of the princess mansion and the Zhong family go out of the city smoothly. It is necessary as soon as possible, and the palace is worried that something will happen if it is late. ”
Zhong Yu's horse head is big, "Shi Wen will definitely not give face to this official." Ling Changzhi, he is now in a nest with Shiwen snakes and rats, and he is estimated to take the opportunity to blackmail his own official. It's better for the princess to go into the palace to find the Empress Dowager Tao and find Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty wills to make a will, our assets can be transported out of the city and to the south. ”
Princess Chengyang gritted her teeth, "I'm afraid Empress Dowager Tao won't sell the face of this palace." It seems that one can only count on Your Majesty! ”
