Chapter Seventy-One: The Happy Times Are Gone

Yun Chu stayed in the Buddha Kingdom for another month.

During this month's events, the population of the Buddha Kingdom increased by another 12,000 people, which is a very terrifying rate of population growth.

The main reason is that winter is coming, and the pastures around the country are not overgrazing, and there are snow-capped mountains here to withstand the cold winds, which is conducive to the winter of livestock.

Of course, the most important thing is that the people here can afford to spend the cattle and sheep that the herders slaughter in winter.

Whether in the steppe or in the Gobi, herders do not slaughter cattle and sheep all year round, and they often start to slaughter cattle and sheep on a large scale only when September arrives every year.

Under normal circumstances, the cattle and sheep at this time are the fattest time, and they can produce more meat, and another reason is to slaughter the sick and weak cattle and sheep, and the sick and weak cattle and sheep cannot survive the harsh winter.

The most important reason is, of course, the lack of forage in winter, and the arrival of winter, the slaughtered cattle and sheep at this time can be preserved for a whole winter.

The people of the Buddha country are talking happily about the reason for this high-sounding population increase, and everyone seems to have lost their memories together.

I forgot that at this time, the people of the Western Regions were accepting the expropriation and extortion from Pei Xingjian and Xue Rengui.

Liang Ying watched with joy as the old thieves in Guanzhong packed up the camel team, in his opinion, this time he came to the Western Regions, which was really a full return.

The goods of a thousand camels brought with him have now become the goods of two thousand camels, and they are all very valuable goods.

"Do you like the Western Regions?" Yun Chu asked casually.

"I like it!" Liang Ying's answer was categorical.

"Do you like the richness here, or do you like the lawlessness here?"

Of course, Liang Jianfang's grandson will not be a good person, and said without thinking: "I like that I can do whatever I want here." ”

Yun Chu patted him on the shoulder and said: "This is the taste of power, now I will give you a few choices, one is to follow me back to Chang'an, in the sixteenth guard, I will give you a position of a partial general, and slowly boil it."

and then enter the prince's six rates as a general.

As long as you boil these two positions slowly, there will always be a good result. ”

Liang Ying hesitated: "Isn't there a third option?" For example, stay and act as a small protector. ”

Yun Chu glanced at Liang Ying with a smile and said, "You don't have an army. ”

Liang Ying lowered his head, twisted the ground with his toes and said: "I have sixteen generals, they themselves are the capital left to me by my grandfather, they used to be ten commanders and centurions in the army, if I recruit some warriors from the Western Regions, over time, I will definitely have an army." ”

Yun Chu asked again, "Is your family willing?" ”

Liang Ying raised his head and looked at Yun Chu and said, "I don't want to go back to that home." ”

"I don't want to inherit the title of Duke of Yanmen County?"

"Don't do it, once you ask for it, there will be a large group of people who think that I have the responsibility to support them, Junhou, there are too many people, I can't afford to raise them."

Yun Chu did not use the reason that Liang Ying was the grandson of his grandson to persuade him to accept the sons and daughters of Yanmen County.

Liang Jianfang is an extremely worldly person, and he is also a person who pities his subordinates very much.

He himself gave birth to four sons, two died in battle, one died of illness, and one was crippled, but he had more than 20 godsons, and the most important thing for godgrandchildren was these 20 godsons, and godgrandchildren were all the kind of sons who were written into the family tree, godgrandchildren.

The biggest source of these godsons and godsons is his subordinates who died in battle, so legally, morally, everyone has become Liang Jianfang's descendants.

Behind every godson and grandson, there is a large family, and now, these people are all over Liang Jianfang's family in various industries.

The Liang family's money, food, and status were all exchanged for Liang Jianfang's life, so how people use it and who they use to manage it are all Liang Jianfang's business, and others are not qualified to intervene.

There are so many people, and they can still afford to raise Liang Jianfang when he can still lead the troops to fight, and now, with Liang Jianfang getting old and leisure, the huge Liang family is sitting on a mountain and eating nothing.

The Tang Dynasty official's salary is very touching, Liang Jianfang, a high-ranking official from the third grade, only has eight yuan per month, and what he gives is not copper money, but all kinds of materials.

(400 stone of rice every year, 9 acres of vocational fields, 38 miscellaneous servants for the imperial court, 9 plates of fine rice 2 liters and 2 cents of regular food every day, 8 pounds of japonica rice, 2 liters of noodles, 1 liter and a half of wine, 4 points of mutton, 4 points of sauce, 4 pieces of vinegar, 3 melons, salt, soybean, green onions, ginger, sunflowers, leeks and the like, 2 cents of wood and money in spring, 3 cents and 5 cents in winter, charcoal and spring 3 catties, 5 catties in winter, about 8,000 wen per month.) )

Without Liang Jianfang's personal financial support, these things would not be enough to support Liang Jianfang's own family, let alone help others.

It is because of this status quo that the generals in the capital are extremely eager for every opportunity to go out.

After all, every time you go on an expedition, it means that the family will get a sum of money from the boss.

As for the veteran, if there is no young man in the family to continue to fight for money instead of him, the end will be miserable.

When Yun Chu left Chang'an, he heard that the family of Qin Qiong, the Duke of Yiguo, had begun to sell their ancestral property.

Yu Xiurong also bought two of the best horse lances from the Yiguo Gong family, and stood in the place where Yun Chu often practiced martial arts.

Liang Jianfang and Qin Qiong's family are actually the two epitomes of the old nobles of the Tang Dynasty who began to be lonely.

Now, in the face of a messy home, Liang Ying is really big, and in the two years that he has been mixed with Yun Chu in the Western Regions, it is almost his happiest and most comfortable two years, although he is pitted by Yun Chu from time to time, but Liang Ying likes it very much, because following the prince, he can feel that he is getting stronger and stronger.

It's just that Liang Ying's attitude of retreating and then throwing away 369 is not in line with Yun Chu's values.

This fool still doesn't understand that the value of the title of Duke of Yanmen County, no matter how bad it is, if he exhausts Liang Ying for the rest of his life, even if he squeezes all the bones and sends them to the Li Tang Dynasty, it is impossible to get it again.

Sometimes Yun Chu himself felt strange, and everyone who had been with him for a while seemed to think that he could do such a thing as being a marquis immediately.

So, Yun Chu raised his hand and pumped it on Liang Ying's head, and he didn't stop as soon as he started, he hoped to whip all the water in this guy's head, so that he could have a new understanding of reality.

Liang Ying was slapped and knew that he must have done something wrong, and he didn't dare to hide, so he could only keep his head down.

slapped more than a dozen times in a row, and Liang Ying, who was pumping, was so dizzy that he was about to lose his footing, and only then did he say gently: "Okay, this kid is stupid, and if he continues to whip, he will be even more stupid." ”

Yun Chu stopped his hand and said angrily: "I don't know who I learned from the smelly problem, the family is not good, I don't think about how to change, so I want to leave." ”

Liang Ying finally understood why the master beat him, and endured the grievances: "You don't know, the house is rotten." ”

Wen Rou couldn't help but slap Liang Ying on the head and said: "The Yanmen County Mansion is a family that relies on military merits, and such a person's family should be controlled by military law."

However, after your Azu got a sum of money from the boss outside, he left it to your grandmother according to the general family management.

If an army does not enforce military law for a month, it will be chaotic, and if it does not enforce military law for a year, it will decay.

Now don't think about staying in the Western Regions to live a happy life by yourself, after returning to Chang'an with us, first tidy up your home, kill those who should be killed, send those who should be sent to the official, and send those who should be dismissed, and when you have sorted out your home, you can find an army that can be used at home, and then come to the Western Regions as a small protector.

After your ancestor dies, I will inherit the title of Duke of Yanmen County, and then I will find a chance to get you an officer status from the fifth grade, and when the time comes, the flag of the Duke of Yanmen County will be erected. ”

Liang Ying gritted his teeth and said, "My Azu won't agree." ”

Yun Chu snorted and said, "Then forcibly seize power, I don't believe it, you won't be able to get your ancestor now." ”

Liang Ying's mouth was wide open, and she didn't know how to answer.

Once again, Gentle came forward to help this silly child.

"Your grandfather used to be a bandit, then an officer and soldier, then a rebel, and after the rebellion was successful, he became a nobleman.

All the power he has is snatched and robbed, didn't that time make people's heads roll and bleed?

Do you think someone like him would easily hand over power? Let him give you the power with his own hands This is not Liang Jianfang's mentality, he hopes that you can take it away from him.

As long as the strength you show is recognized by him, someone like him who was born as an old robber will definitely obey you, the new ruler, and he is the kind who is determined to die. ”

Liang Ying was in a state of confusion, and only said that he would go back and think about it.

Yun Chu was still very satisfied with Liang Ying's cautious attitude, after all, it was not easy for anyone to cut off family affection with a knife.

However, whether it is a state reform or a family reform, it is accompanied by great suffering.

When Liang Ying left, Wen Rou said to Yun Chu: "What, do you have an idea?" ”

Yun Chu nodded and said: "After the eldest grandson Wuji is unlucky, the Guan Long family will never come out again, and if the emperor wants to employ people, only Shandong people are left."

In the past, it was Guanlong who cleaned Shandong, and it seems that Shandong is about to clean Guanlong.

His Majesty can take down the eldest grandson Wuji, there is really no need to force him to commit suicide. ”

Gentle was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty killed the eldest grandson Wuji?" ”

Yun Chu took out a copy of the newspaper from his sleeve and handed it to Wen Roudao: "It said that the eldest grandson Wuji was ashamed of the grace of heaven, and he hanged himself when he arrived in Qianzhou. ”

Wen Wen asked while reading the Di newspaper: "Why did this Chinese scholar Yuan Gongyu go to Qianzhou?" ”

Yun Chu looked at it and smiled gently: "Naturally, I went to kill the eldest grandson Wuji." ”

Sighed softly: "It was Li Ji and Xu Jingzong who tried the eldest grandson Wuji's plot against the eucalyptus, both of them are enemies of the eldest grandson Wuji, Your Majesty is really good at choosing the judge candidates."

At this time, if the prince wants to keep the eldest grandson Chong, I'm afraid it's impossible, right? ”

Yun Chu took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Wen Roudao: "Di Renjie is here." ”

Gently read this very ordinary greeting letter, in fact, he didn't read the letter, his eyes kept falling on the punctuation marks on the letter, Datang people generally don't use such complicated punctuation, in order to avoid ambiguity, at most a dot, or empty a box, start another line.

The letter written by Di Renjie to Yun Chu was marked with a lot of punctuation marks that others could not understand.

Others can't understand it, it doesn't mean that Wen Rou can't understand it, after reading the letter, Wen Rou sighed again and said: "The eldest grandson was really gnawed this time, and there was no bone left." ”
