Now is a special period, and Yang Zhi will not be soft when he kills people.

Qingyang County is such a large county town, there is no silver in the treasury, there is no grain in the grain warehouse, and hundreds of thousands of people have nothing to eat.

Not to mention that there is still the army of the Qin Wangfu outside, even if you don't fight, you will trap them to death if you are directly trapped.

So after Yang Zhi killed the county guard of Qingyang County, he directly ordered that he should meet the big families and merchants of Qingyang County in the city guard camp.

In less than half a day, the big families and businessmen of the entire Qingyang County were invited to the Chengwei Mansion.

These people were very apprehensive in their hearts, and they didn't know what Yang Zhi meant by calling them.

Especially when I saw those black-armored guards standing around, the oppressive atmosphere made these people dare not breathe.

Yang Zhi walked in slowly, looked at these people with a smile on his face, and said lightly: "Hello everyone, my name is Yang Zhi, I believe you have heard of my name." ”

"I also know that you are speculating about the current situation, I can tell you that the rebellion of the Qin Wangfu and the siege of Qingyang County by the army, whether you are dead or alive is just in your thoughts."

Hearing that the Qin Wangfu rebelled and Qingyang County was besieged by a large army, these big households and merchants were panicked, and it didn't take long for the Turks to retreat, why did the Qin Wangfu rebel again?

Listening to the noisy voices of these people, Yang Zhi sat very quietly on the side, took a sip of water first, and then gently slapped the table.

The following was immediately quiet, and the one in front of him was a ruthless man who killed Qin Li and killed the county guard of Qingyang County in legend.

"Why, among you, do you have the heart to the Qin Palace?"

Yang Zhi said coldly: "I don't care if you have anything to do with the Qin Wangfu before, but from now on, this Qingyang County is my Yang Zhi who has the final say." ”

Damn, how do you feel like you have the temperament of being a mountain king.

"The rebellion of the Qin Palace, this is against the sky, my Dasheng Dynasty, a million heroes, can destroy the Qin Palaces at any time."

Yang Zhi continued: "Now is the time for everyone to make meritorious contributions. ”

Yang Zhi said with a wicked smile: "You are all big families in Qingyang County, and you are all merchants, you must have a lot of grain in your hands, as long as you contribute the grain storage, I will definitely ask Your Majesty for credit for you in the future." ”

It turned out to be food, for these big households, money and food are their lives, and now it is a troubled time, that grain is stored, but their net worth and life, don't look at what Yang Zhi said well, what is asking for credit, it is all nonsense.

Whether Qingyang County can hold it or not is one thing, and if they are asked to take food out, there is no door.

What else do you want to contribute, it's all their net worth, how can they take it out for free.

Yang Zhi saw that these people didn't speak, so he guessed what they were thinking, so he said coldly: "I can tell you that I don't have any money to give you now, and as for you who are unwilling to take out food, that's nothing, I will send troops to search your house, once you find out what you have to do with Qin Wangfu, then don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless." ”

Yang Zhi's last sentence frightened the big families present, isn't this a clear robbery?

If Yang Zhi really sent troops to their house, I am afraid that a lot of evidence can be created for them without evidence, and at that time, it will not be the loss of some food, but the lives of the whole family, and they will all be finished.

"General Yang, I am willing to donate my family's food to General Yang's soldiers and horses to help General Yang fight against the thieves."

One of the businessmen opened his mouth, and the rest began to express their positions one after another.

Yang Zhi smiled faintly and said to these merchants: "Don't worry, I will let people register the grain you take out, and then wait for the soldiers and horses of the Qin Wangfu to retreat in the future, and reward them for meritorious deeds." ”

Yang Zhike can't do the matter of killing chickens and taking eggs, these businessmen are also the support of Qingyang County, and they really force these people to be anxious, even if the Qin Wangfu is destroyed in the future, it will be difficult for Qingyang County to recover its vitality.

Although these merchants are rich and unkind, without these merchants in the local area, the life of the people is even more miserable.

This is a slap in the face, giving a sweet date.

Although the current situation is unclear, it will make it easier for these people to take over, so the next matter, Yang Zhi will hand over the remaining civil officials of Qingyang County to deal with, and let them register the amount of grain one by one.

Of course, this also made the businessmen dare not be perfunctory, and they all showed sincerity.

In the end, when the counted numbers were sent to Yang Zhi, he didn't expect it.

In a small Qingyang county town, hundreds of merchants actually took out 6,000 stone of grain.

This number is definitely not small, six thousand stones, that is almost a million catties of grain, which is definitely enough for the entire Qingyang County to support two or three months.

In fact, this is also because Yang Zhi does not understand the minds of these merchants, Qingyang County itself is very close to Pingzhou, and it has been harassed by the Turks all the year round, and many people have been killed and robbed at every turn.

Turkic caravans would also come to Dasheng's territory to buy grain, and these merchants had so much grain that they could live in.

Just like now, Qingyang County is trapped, if they take out the grain and sell it, the price is several times higher than usual, more than ten times the price, and there will be a lot of people queuing up to buy it.

Yang Zhi got 6,000 stone of grain in a frightened manner, and the problem of food was solved.

And Yang Zhi is also sure that there is still a large amount of grain in the hands of these merchants, and it is strange that the merchants are not treacherous.

With these 6,000 stone of food, at least the problem of eating in the city can be solved temporarily.

However, Yang Zhi knew that he didn't have so much time, so he had to make a quick decision, and while sending someone to Pingzhou City to contact Hu Duan, he was secretly preparing.

Time, just like that, a few days passed unconsciously, Qingyang County during the Lantern Festival did not have a little festive atmosphere, Qingyang County was closed, and everyone knew that there was going to be a war.

Yang Zhi is not idle, and in the past few days, he has also asked Chen Dong to issue a conscription order, and he must use all methods now.

It is a matter of his own life and death, this crisis is indeed caused by his carelessness, and so many brothers have died because of him, Yang Zhi now completely understands a truth.

Ci is not in charge of the soldiers!

Born in this era, he can't be alone at all, unless he has absolute power to protect the people he cares about.

After the conscription order, in a few days, there were still thousands of new recruits in Qingyang County, and at any time, there was no shortage of patriotic people, who also wanted to defend their homeland.

Chen Dong was in charge of training the new barracks, while Yang Zhi gathered all the craftsmen in the city, directly sealed them all in the city guard's mansion, and began to make secret weapons according to his requirements.

……

Pingzhou City!

The Turkic iron horsemen, who had been retreating for more than two months, reappeared outside Pingzhou City, with hundreds of thousands of Turkic iron horses, black and linen.

Hu Duan stood under the city wall, looking at these enemies he had faced for more than ten years, with a strong battle intent in his eyes.
