Chapter 27 Negotiations
The five hundred tooth army hulala surrounded Zhang's mansion.
Li Yu took Wei Ai and Zhou Kuan to break into Zhang's house.
Just now, Zhang Weng heard the thunder in the north of the city, and his heart began to beat the drum.
The silver sand thieves are entrenched in Funiu Mountain in the north of Nanyang, and they have been harassing Xiangcheng and Nanyang for the past two years.
Li Yu issued a new tax order, which made the wealthy families who were accustomed to not paying and paying less taxes very unhappy.
The Zhang family is a high-ranking official in the dynasty, and he really doesn't take King De in his eyes.
Originally, they thought that King De came to Nanyang, so they had to rely on the local wealthy families, right? I didn't expect Li Yu to play his cards according to the routine, and invited them to pay taxes after inviting a dinner party with clear soup and little water, which is worth it? !
If it weren't for the fact that they didn't have reliable soldiers in their hands, they would all want to kill King De by night!
Old Zhang Tou is shrewd, he doesn't do such dirty work.
He united several families, pooled money together, and secretly sent it to the silver sand thieves, so that they could attack Nanyang, stir up the wedding of King De, and relieve the anger in his heart.
Who knew that it was coming, but Lao Zhangtou's heart was up and down.
Especially the thunder in the north of the city made him palpitate.
At this time, he suddenly remembered that the legendary King De had great power, and what kind of thunder could he send in his palm!
Oops, it can't be true, right?!
Damn, why didn't you take it seriously!
Alas!
However, he also had luck in his heart.
One is that the silver sand thief may not be able to lose, and the other is that if he fails, he will not be able to find his head.
While he was thinking wildly, the butler ran in in a panic.
"Master, master, no, King De is here."
"What? King Tak is coming? ”
Zhang Weng's feet were soft, and he almost lost his breath!
Oops, why did he get here? It can't be an open filling, right?!
He trembled his hands and feet and tried to calm himself down as soon as possible, and he couldn't mess up before he could do anything.
Pedal Pedal Pedal ~~
There was a sound of footsteps, and dozens of heavily armed armor soldiers broke in outside the lobby, holding horizontal knives in their hands, and they were murderous.
directly surrounded Zhang Weng in the middle.
"Ahem, what are you doing here?"
The old man was still trying to calm himself.
There was laughter outside the door.
"Haha, Zhang Weng, you are so daring!"
This sound frightened the old man.
The armor soldiers around him snorted, and several horizontal knives glittered with cold light on his neck.
The cold air made the old man's hands and feet tremble.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, you have something to say, you have something to say!"
"Well said?"
Li Yu walked in slowly with square steps.
His eyes stared at the old fellow.
"You've done a good job!"
"Your Highness, Your Highness, what's the matter, I don't know!"
"You still dare to pretend to be confused?"
Li Yu waved his hand, and Fang Xing threw a piece of paper on the old man's face.
"Banditry is a great crime to exterminate the clan!"
Li Yu said quietly, without the slightest emotion in his words, but it made Zhang Weng feel cold.
The old man took the paper and glanced at it, and as soon as his legs went limp, he fell to the ground.
It's broken, it's happening to you!
At this time, he scolded the nineteenth generation of the silver sand thief ancestor in his heart, but what was the use?
"Your Highness, this is slander, absolute slander!"
In the face of such a big event, the old man calmed down, and it was right not to admit it, this is to exterminate the clan, and he must not admit it.
"Zhang Weng, isn't it good for you to be a rich man? Why be insatiable? I really don't know how to write dead words! Hehe~~"
Li Yu smiled angrily.
He didn't intend to let them go this time.
You must know that Li Yu is facing a future where the country is ruined and the family is ruined, and now these guys who don't know whether to live or die dare to jump out and cause chaos for themselves, what is this not looking for death?
"Come on, gather everyone in the Zhang family in the lobby, I want to see how hard your mouth is!"
"Hey, don't, don't, Your Highness, spare your life!"
Seeing that Li Yu was going to move seriously, Zhang Weng immediately coaxed.
Li Yuyi raised his hand and stopped the action of the armorer.
Seeing that there was a slowdown, Zhang Weng immediately got up and bowed deeply to Li Yu, and said: "Your Highness, now I, the Zhang family, am willing to make a good relationship with His Royal Highness for Qin and Jin, but there is a drive, and everything is obeyed. ”
"Huh?"
Li Yu stared intently at the old man, staring at the old man's head and neck. Zhang Weng was so frightened that his heart fluttered, and between life and death, he couldn't care much about it.
"Your Highness, I am willing to donate the field, as long as I leave me a field of rations."
"Will you dedicate your field? How many are you, huh! ”
As soon as Li Yu waved his hand, the armor soldier rushed to the backyard.
"Your Highness, wait."
"I am willing to give all my wealth, as long as Your Highness saves my life."
"Huh?"
Li Yu raised his hand again, and the soldiers stopped moving.
The old man is going to have a heart attack.
"Bring the ledger."
Li Yu wants to look at the account book, which shows that there is a delay.
The old man glared at the butler.
"Don't go yet."
"Yes, yes, yes."
The butler trotted and came back with the ledger.
"Tell me about your family, and I'll hear about it."
Li Yu looked at the housekeeper and said.
"Uh, okay."
He swallowed his saliva and reported the Zhang family's background.
"Five hundred hectares of good water for watering, and four hundred hectares of dry land."
Hehe, this is 45,000 acres of good land.
"One hundred and fifty oxen and three hundred pack horses."
"There are thirty-five shops, with 50,000 stones of grain and rice, 30,000 stones of corn, 1,200,000 copper coins, 80,000 horses of linen, and 20,000 horses of silk."
"There were three thousand seven hundred lowly slaves."
Li Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, or they all said that robbery is the fastest way to accumulate wealth!
"Zhang Weng, I'm not an unreasonable person."
Li Yu said with a deep sigh: "If you sincerely vote for me, you can." But marriage ......"
Wang Qian behind him walked up and called softly, "Your Highness." ”
"Huh?"
Seeing that Wang Qian had something to say, Li Yu walked a few steps to the side with him.
Only then did Wang Qian lower his voice and said, "Your Highness, the Nanyang Zhang family was caught by us this time, and they had to compromise and take refuge. ”
Seeing that Li Yu listened carefully, he continued: "The strength of the Zhang family is also a rare help. ”
"If you get married, you will definitely be able to do your Highness a great favor. If you refuse, there will be endless troubles, and it is better to cut the grass and eradicate the roots now. ”
Seeing Li Yu's hesitation, Wang Qian said: "I heard that the daughter of the Zhang family is stunning, and it is okay to be a concubine." ”
"This ......"
Li Yu's hesitation was justified. He just got married yesterday, and today he will find a little wife, which can't be explained!
Either kill the Zhang family, or accept them, and marriage is the best guarantee for them, as long as you are not willing to marry, then people will not sincerely help you, this is the condition of exchange.
Think about the land and wealth of the Zhang family, think about the fact that because of the Zhang family's refuge, other wealthy families may also take refuge in it, and their days in Nanyang will be much better, and they will be able to really free up their hands to deal with the upcoming crisis.
"I accept the Zhang family's investment, but the marriage is still over, you know, I just got married, and it is not appropriate to marry again now."
"My Zhang family is willing to serve His Royal Highness."
The marriage couldn't be forced, Wang Qian sighed secretly when he heard this, but it's a pity.
Zhou Kuan, Wang Qian and others began to receive copper coins in the treasury.
It took seven days in a row to pull away a million pieces.
Fifty thousand stone was taken away from the grain.
The other wealthy families were shocked when they heard that the Zhang family had joined King De.
It's better to hurry up and take refuge here, otherwise King De will definitely not agree, and the Zhang family is afraid that they will also be cut to the roots.
Isn't this a recipe for stealing chickens?
It's too late to say anything.
With the help of the Zhang family, which of the other wealthy families in Nanyang dares to play tricks? They sent rice and copper money and cloth to King De, and the palace treasury was soon stuffed to the brim, and Gao Shi had no choice but to build a new treasury.
Li Yu is happy today, the handle of the big families in Nanyang has fallen into his hands, and they have to take refuge in it, otherwise they will have to die.
Now that the money and food are rich, there is no need to wait for the autumn harvest. The population has also exceeded 50,000, and it should be no problem to recruit 2,000 soldiers.
Back at the palace, Concubine Xian and Concubine Min greeted her.
"Husband, have a happy event today?"
"Hehe, you can see this?"
"Of course, the husband is proud."
Bi Niang winked at Li Yu playfully.
"At this time, we won't worry about money and food for the time being."
"What? Is the husband short of money and food? ”
"Ahem, no shortage, no shortage."
The next day, Nanyang issued a recruitment order. Between the ages of twenty and twenty-eight, in good health, and a height of five feet eight inches and above, which is equivalent to about one meter eight, which will be about thirty .7 centimeters, this belongs to the appearance of the giant spirit god.
I heard that King De was recruiting, and four or five thousand people came to Hula to sign up.
After strict screening, only 500 qualified soldiers were selected.
In these years, there are not many people who are in good health, and coupled with the requirements of age and height, most of them have been sifted down at once.
Five hundred is fine.
First give these people enough food and drink, supplement the body's nutrients, and then carry out physical training.
