Chapter Eighty-Eight: What Is Money?
No matter which dynasty or generation of generals, they are worried about the death of rabbits.
And very worried.
Therefore, creating a strong, but controllable enemy for the emperor has always been something that the generals have worked hard to do.
To tell the truth, the threat of Goguryeo to the Tang Dynasty was too small, as long as they dared to leave the icy and snowy area and make the supply lines of the Tang army shorter, the Tang generals generally had a happy attitude towards the attack of Goguryeo, and they were determined and confident that they would not be able to escape back alive.
Now, the Goguryeo people know that the Tang Dynasty has always had bad intentions towards them, and they are in the position of a classic long-distance close attack, if the Tang Dynasty beats them from time to time, they are sorry for this ancestral teaching.
Therefore, the Goguryeo people built a Great Wall on the border and were always ready to deal with the Tang attack.
Since the Goguryeo people can't take the initiative to provoke wars, there is no place for those many and some out-of-character generals in the Tang Dynasty.
Ashina Helu is a traitor, only one has appeared in a few years or more, and they can't be expected to make the emperor pay attention to the military general group.
Therefore, if you calculate it, it can only be a Tibetan person.
Tubo borders the Tang Dynasty in western Sichuan, but unfortunately the Tubo people here have always claimed to be bullied by the Tang people.
Another place bordering Tubo is Tuyuhun, although in the eighth year of Zhenguan was beaten by Emperor Taizong, and finally in the ninth year of Zhenguan, King Fuyun of Tuyuhun was completely defeated, ran to Shanshan, and was strangled to death.
Emperor Taizong did not assign Tuyuhun to the Tang Prefecture because of the gas epidemic problem, but left Fuyun's eldest son Murong Shun to lead the eastern Tuyuhun people to live in the city and be named the king of Xiping County.
Later, Murong Shun was not very obedient, so he killed Murong Shun and let his son continue to serve as the king of Xiping County, probably thinking that he had killed too many Tuyuhun kings, so in order to compensate, he married Princess Honghua to the king of Xiping County, and later, he also successively married the county lord of Jincheng and the county lord of Jinming to the two sons of the king of Xiping County as compensation.
This is a very annoying thing for the generals, after all, Tuyuhun is still a feudal country, not a native of the Tang Dynasty.
In order to make the emperor nervous, everyone tacitly made a story about Tubo seriously threatening Tuyuhun, and then threatening the land west of the Tang River, as well as the Western Regions.
Li Jingye should know about this, so this guy simply went to Qinghai to rob Lu Dongzan's daughter without doing anything, and it is best to cause a big war between Tuyuhun and Tubo, and then let Datang and Tubo have a protracted war to stabilize the basic plate of these veterans.
Li Zhi should also know about this, so he has always considered attacking Goguryeo instead of fighting Tubo.
The veterans had all experienced the battles of the Sui before the liberation, and they knew how much strength Emperor Yang of Sui had used to attack Goguryeo, but they failed, resulting in the death of Emperor Yang of Sui.
Emperor Taizong also attacked Goguryeo that year, and although he returned with a great victory, it was also a pity that he could not destroy Goguryeo after all.
Moreover, the harsh climate in eastern Liaoning also left a deep impression on the veterans who participated in the war.
Therefore, the veterans hoped to fight the Tubo people in Tuyuhun and Dafeichuan, and they were not willing to go to Liaodong to climb the ice and lie in the snow to fight the Goguryeo people.
Now, Li Jingye is about to open the huge magic box of fighting against the Tubo people with his own hands. ‘
The battle that the veterans thought was to be won, but Yun Chu knew that the battle of Dafeichuan ruined Xue Rengui's invincible reputation, not to mention, it has also become a stain that Li Zhi can not erase in his life, and it has also become an eternal flaw on the pearl of the Tang Dynasty.
"If you give birth to a daughter, you have to marry your neighbor, and if you give birth to a boy, you will be buried with the grass. You don't see, Qinghai head, no one has collected the white bones in ancient times. The new ghost is annoyed and the old ghost is crying, and the sky is cloudy and rainy, and the wet voice is chirping! ”
And Du Fu's "Soldiers' Chariots" firmly nailed them to the pillar of shame in history.
It was only now that Yun Chu understood why Li Ji must expel Li Jingye from the family, and he must link Li Jingye with him.
People's ancestors and grandchildren have long had a tacit understanding, even if there is none, Yun Chu does not believe it now, Li Ji will know nothing about Li Jingye's affairs in Tuyuhun.
"People just bully you, a fool with no foundation." Lie down gently on the floor, put your feet on the warm wall of fire, and pour wolfberry soup into your mouth upside down.
Yun Chu also took off his boots in a gentle manner, lay on the wooden floor, his feet on the warm wall, and drank the wolfberry soup without a sip.
Regardless of whether wolfberry soup is useful or not, it is a comfort for married men, anyway, men have been drinking it since the Han Dynasty, and in the 1,300 years since the Tang Dynasty, no one has died because of drinking wolfberry soup.
"Official, too small, money, too little, people, not enough." Yun Chu took a sip of wolfberry soup sadly.
Said gently: "There is no way, you will be eighteen years old soon, and you are about to start writing, at this time, you have already lived in the sixth grade, what are you not satisfied with?" With the speed of your promotion, it is already rare in Datang. ”
Yun Chu spit out a wolfberry that he accidentally drank into his mouth and asked, "You say, how can I be promoted quickly now?" ”
Sighed softly and said: "I also want to know, after all, I am only an official of the eighth rank now, and I am a little older than the king in Weihe."
I think you should visit Liu Renliang, to be honest, I recently looked through the papers, and I originally wanted to find some black material about Liu Renliang, but as a result, I searched for three days, and I didn't find it at all, and I still admired this guy more and more in the process of searching, to be honest, he can live until now, definitely with the help of ghosts and gods.
According to my understanding, anyone who can't die again and again will definitely be able to shine in the future. ”
"Why do you say that?"
"The heavens will descend on the people, and they will strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, and empty their bodies, and they will never let him die."
"Okay, I'll go to him to discuss the future development of Anyefang, and by the way, ask him if the land in Chang'an County can be linked with the land in Wannian County to grow more cotton.
Are you going or not? ”
Gently closed his eyes and waved his hand: "I won't go, we are not all the way, and there is a high possibility of enemies in the future." ”
"Why?"
"Because he is now in the middle of the matter, as long as he is in the matter, he must be the enemy of my family."
Yun Chu saw that Wen Wen found a document and put it on his face, so he turned over, put on his boots and went straight to the West Market to find Liu Renliang.
There is no comparison between the messy West Market and the neat and clean East Market, just as the vegetable market is not comparable to the big supermarket.
It is actually a very taboo for the chief of one county to go to another county to find the chief of the county.
There is a truth in this called - there are no two masters in heaven!
In the same way, the chief official above basically will not go to the yamen of the lower chief officer, and if there is something, he will meet in the hall or other places, anyway, the yamen will not go, at least not for a long time.
Liu Renliang didn't care about this, when Yun Chu arrived, it was just when he rested and ate at noon.
There is a pair of iron chopsticks on the brazier, two pieces of Hu Biscuit are placed on the iron chopsticks, and a pot of tea with mutton fat is placed on the low table.
Judging from his skillful flipping of the cake and his lack of fear of hot hands, he didn't eat such a meal in one or two meals.
Liu Renliang didn't look embarrassed at all because his lunch was too shabby, but naturally gave Hu Biscuit to Yun Chu after passing the exam.
"The old man is used to shabby, and he can't compare to the county Cheng who eats fine clothes and jade all day long, and it's not bad to taste coarse food once in a while, eat fresh."
Yun Chu took the Hu cake with a smile, skillfully ate the roasted brown skin first, ate the skin that exuded the fragrance of wheat, did not touch Liu Renliang's oil tea, poured a glass of water and took a sip and said: "When I was thirteen years old, I only ate my first bite of white rice, does the county know what I thought at that time?" ”
Liu Renliang looked at Yun Chu and didn't speak, Yun Chu had no choice but to continue: "I was thinking at the time, Lao Tzu will eat white rice every day in the future. ”
Liu Ren tracked: "It's hard to fill the desire." ”
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "This official thinks that a person's pursuit of a better life should be encouraged, not discouraged.
Of course, as long as he is working in the right direction, he is worthy of praise, and the wealth he has acquired should be protected. ”
Liu Renliang raised the cake in his hand and said: "Not everyone can survive from thousands of troops and horses, and not everyone has the ability to drill camps like the county Cheng, let alone everyone can win the championship in one fell swoop."
Therefore, Yun Xiancheng thought that what he had earned through hard work, but he didn't know that for stupid people, it was plunder. ”
Yun Chu quickly finished the Hu cake in his hand, and even filled his mouth with the slag and said, "A certain family came today to correct a fallacy of the county honorable. ”
Hearing Yun Chu say this, Liu Renliang actually put down the half-eaten Hu Cake, and saluted Yun Chu respectfully: "Liu Renliang listens to it. ”
Faced with Liu Renliang's happy appearance when he heard it, Yun Chu said embarrassedly: "We might as well discuss it and learn from each other." ”
Liu Renliang said solemnly: "Since it is Liu's fallacy, as long as it hits the point, Liu will naturally listen to it." ”
Yun Chu saw that Liu Renliang was serious, not like he was teasing him, so he took out a piece of money from his arms and put it in front of Liu Renliang very seriously and said, "Today, a certain family will talk to the county lord about money!"
I don't know what the county thinks is money? ”
It was the first time for Liu Renliang to meet someone asking him this question, so he couldn't help frowning and thinking for a while, and finally replied: "The old man thinks that money is a thing, and a thing refers to everything that money can buy. ”
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "The essence of money is time and labor, no matter what the county uses money to buy, whether it is a house, a piece of cake, or a piece of clothing.
In the final analysis, the county buys the labor time of the craftsman, the labor time of the supplier, the labor time of the farmer, and the labor time of the silkworm keeper.
No matter how things change, it will eventually come back to the effective working hours of the craftsmen and farmers.
