Chapter 579: Raising the Flag and Rebelling? Xingnong is discussed!
Needless to say.
The military department is going to transfer troops now, and the goal is obviously not really to suppress the demons in Tianjing City, but its real goal is to prevent the feudal towns in these places such as the Qing Domain and the Chu Domain, and the rebellion has been!
But here's the thing.
Now the money and food in the household department of the Great Zhou can't support the theory of troop transfer!
After hearing the words of the Ministry of War, the face of the Heavenly Officer of the Ministry of Household turned green.
But the empress smiled slightly and said, "The soldiers and horses can be adjusted, but there is no need for now."
said.
The empress raised her eyes slightly.
Baiguan looked back, but just in time to see an internal guard walking up quickly.
"Your Majesty, Xing Pingbo is asking to see you outside the court."
"Xingpingbo is here?"
"Master Gu is here?"
Hear this.
The civil and military officials were all slightly stunned, and then curiosity appeared in their eyes.
Everyone knows that the source of this turmoil in the court today is Gu Changsheng.
Although Gu Changsheng didn't do anything wrong.
But many older officials still have some resentment in Gu Changsheng's hearts.
After all, in their opinion, the important thing at the moment is to forbear each other for the country first, and maintain the balance of the pattern of the Great Zhou.
Yes.
When I saw Gu Changsheng come up.
Immediately, an older official spoke: "Xingping Bo went to court today, what is the matter?"
"Yun Tianguan of the Ministry of War said that he wants to transfer troops to Tianjing and defend the Beijing Division, I don't know what Xingpingbo thinks?"
Hear the official's words.
Gu Changsheng's expression was extremely calm, as if he didn't hear the dissatisfaction hidden in the other party's words, he smiled slightly, and said, "I naturally support it, but, like Your Majesty, I feel that now, there is no need to transfer troops."
said.
Gu Changsheng waved his hand.
Yin Xian and Sun Anshi, the two leaders of Zhong Kui's divine cultivation, walked up quickly.
"I entered the court today because I have something to enlighten Your Majesty, and by the way, I also want you to see how much money and food the King of Anqing County has accumulated over the years!"
With Gu Changsheng, the voice fell.
Yin Xian and Sun Anshi stepped forward together, starting with Yin Xian.
"What Xia Guan counts here is the floating wealth, money and grain in the palace of Anqing County."
"After our investigation last night, as well as the raid on the various royal villages under the name of the king of Anqing County some time ago, we have calculated that the floating wealth on the county king's mansion has a total of three million hundred and sixty thousand taels of silver."
"Huh."
Hear this.
Some officials in the DPRK and China immediately frowned.
Those old-school officials who were already a little dissatisfied with Gu Changsheng and felt that Gu Changsheng had caused trouble to the imperial court were about to wrinkle their brows.
Three million taels of silver, is it a lot? Not less.
But the money depends on where it is spent.
That's not much for the whole week!
Not to mention, for the sake of more than 3 million taels of silver, all the local feudal clans were raised in rebellion.
Just to quell the rebellion, I don't know how much silver taels of grain will cost, and if there are not tens of millions of taels of silver, it will definitely not be able to fight!
"Master Gu, I understand what you mean, you just want to prove that you have no merit in solving the King of Anqing County, right, but you ...... You're too hasty and reckless!"
"Governing a big country should be like cooking small fresh, and it should be gradual......
An old official, with a white beard, twisted his beard and a face, educating Gu Changsheng.
However, before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Gu Changsheng.
"This lord, my subordinate, hasn't finished reporting the situation yet, what do you want to say, how about waiting for him to finish reporting before he speaks?"
Gu Changsheng's
With a calm smile and indifferent eyes, he stared at the official who spoke quietly, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Okay, okay, this official will listen to Lord Gu's harvest, how good it is!"
The official flicked his sleeves directly, looking like he hated iron but not steel.
And Gu Changsheng glanced at Yin Xian, signaling that he could continue to report back.
With Gu Changsheng's instructions, Yin Xian also hurriedly continued.
"Count, three million six hundred and seventy thousand taels of silver."
"Count, one hundred and sixty thousand taels of gold."
"Counting ......"
Quiescence.
There was silence.
All the civil and military officials were stunned.
What did they hear just now?
Gold, 1,630,000 taels?
According to the current gold-silver ratio of the Great Zhou.
One million taels of gold is ten million taels of silver!
This...... Doesn't this mean that the floating wealth in the palace of Anqing County is worth the next counterinsurgency expenses!?
Even the empress was stunned for a moment, and then, the hands on both sides of the throne were involuntarily grasped, and in a pair of phoenix eyes, there was an unconcealable chill!
Although, before Gu Changsheng went to the court today, Gu Changsheng also told her that the news that he was going to return in the court today would have some weight.
But the empress didn't expect that the news Gu Changsheng said would be so ...... There is weight!
Ten million taels of floating wealth!
What a royal head!
And just when the hundred officials had not yet recovered from the family property of tens of millions of taels of silver.
Yin Xian continued.
"There are 12 million quintals of grain."
"Stored in 23 royal villages......
"In addition, there are agate, jade, curiosities, jewelry, carvings, etc., which can be sold for more than 5 million taels of silver......
Silent.
There was a long silence.
No one cares about the agate jade in the back, all kinds of precious jewelry, etc.
Everyone's attention was focused on the 12 million quintals of grain.
What is this concept?
Ten million taels of silver, ten million loads of grain.
The king of Anqing County basically gave all the military expenses needed by the court to quell the rebellion!
And that's not even the heaviest chips.
After this.
Sun Anshi, who was next to Yin Xian, also took a step forward and spoke in a deep voice.
And the numbers he said are even more impactful.
Over the years, the royal mansion of Anqing County has covered those kings and tenant farmers.
Together, the hidden taxes, the people's power, are all there, after being released.
It is enough for the tax payment of the Great Zhou to increase by at least another 10 million taels in the coming year.
Moreover, the king of Anqing County, as the king of the county, according to the custom, can also receive another million quintals of Lu rice from the imperial court every year.
There is also Anqing Mansion under his name, as his fiefdom.
These add up.
After the King of Anqing County was defeated by Gu Changsheng.
The tax base of Da Zhou is enough to directly grow to, 123 million taels!
Counting the original balance of seven million taels.
The tax payment for the coming year more than tripled.
"As long as it lasts for ten years, no, as long as it lasts for five years!"
"My Great Zhou, it's not impossible to restore your prosperity!"
The civil and military officials were all boiling.
Even those old officials can't care about Gu Changsheng's recklessness at the moment.
Joke.
The floating wealth of the king of Anqing County exceeded their expectations.
And after defeating the king of Anqing County, the number of acres and tenant farmers released by the imperial court was also beyond their imagination.
There is this huge floating wealth.
is enough to make the national strength of the Great Zhou thriving!
The old-school official who was still questioning Gu Changsheng before was even more ashamed at this moment.
"Master Gu, it's the old man who lost his words before!"
The old official bowed solemnly and saluted Gu Changsheng.
It made Gu Changsheng a little surprised.
However, he didn't bother with this kind of thing, nodded and revealed the matter, looked at the officials present, spoke in a deep voice, and the words he said made them all stunned.
"I don't plan to use this money to quell the rebellion, because there is no need to worry about this rebellion!"
Gu Changsheng smiled slightly.
The words spoken are boundless confidence and domineering!
He immediately put the data he had sorted out before, one by one, in front of the hundred officials.
Looking at the data analysis given by Gu Changsheng.
The Chinese martial artists of the DPRK were all a little shocked and amazed.
They never imagined that the strength of a feudal town and the possibility of rebellion could be displayed in such a detailed and proper manner with these data!
Let them look at Gu Changsheng's gaze, and the admiration and awe in it became more and more intense.
People who can come up with such methods and make such statistics.
Don't say anything else.
With this ability alone, Gu Changsheng's talent for governing the country has surpassed many civil and military forces in the DPRK and China, and even looking at the annals of history, it is difficult to compare!
However, at this moment, the heavenly official of the military department couldn't help but whisper: "Xingpingbo, the old man has a matter, I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
Hear this celestial official speak.
The officials present couldn't help but look at each other, and their eyes were a little curious.
Among the officials present, if you talk about military affairs, the most is the old heavenly official of the military department in front of you.
Even Gu Changsheng nodded solemnly: "Boss, please speak."
The Heavenly Officer of the Ministry of War, his eyes first looked at Gu Changsheng, and the data he sorted out had an unconcealable admiration in his eyes.
In his opinion.
When the first emperor and Xuanzong went on several northern expeditions, if there was a figure like Gu Changsheng, he would give advice from the side.
Even if the dynasty does not succeed in pacifying the Northern Barbarians, at least it will not lose so badly, the lost Great Zhou in the past hundred years, are all sinking and declining, and the local feudal towns are faintly showing signs of secession.
However, although he was extremely impressed by Gu Changsheng's ability, when it came to the Great Zhou National Fortune, there were some things to say, and he still had to say them.
Think of it.
The old heavenly official of the Ministry of War said in a deep voice: "Master Gu's plan is certainly amazing, and there are indeed amazing things, and the data listed in it are detailed and analyzed, and they are also reasonable, but ...... Adults need to know."
"War is never something that data can show."
People are changeable.
Many people, when it is really time to get hot, he acts impulsively.
Even if he knew that the odds of winning were only one or two percent, he couldn't help it, wanted to gamble, wanted to fight!
That's how gamblers come in.
Qing Domain and Chu Domain, as well as those local feudal towns.
They may not be gamblers.
But with the changes in the times, the general trend of the world will force them to become gamblers.
And it really came then.
Even the data analyzed by Gu Changsheng are all correct and correct.
These feudal towns are now raising troops, and the success rate of the rebellion is less than 20%, and they will still raise the banner of rebellion!
Listening to Yun Tianguan's words.
Many officials present also had solemn expressions.
Although I don't want to admit it, what the military department said may indeed come true!
"I understand what the old heavenly official means."
But, unexpectedly
What they expected.
After hearing the objections of the Heavenly Officials of the Military Department, Gu Changsheng did not get angry, but smiled and nodded, and said in a deep voice, "I also understand the worries of the Heavenly Officials, but."
Gu Changsheng nodded at the row of data in front of him, and said with a smile: "These things are just the first reassuring foundation I give to everyone, if the Qing Fan and the Chu Fan really rebel, I will also have other preparations!"
Listening to the confidence in Gu Changsheng's words.
The officials present were all stunned.
Ready for anything?
You can't take care of Changsheng, what else will the legendary beans be scattered into soldiers!
Looking at everyone's surprised expressions.
Gu Changsheng smiled slightly, but his eyes fell on the chief officer of the Ministry of Industry, Zhang Yuan.
"Old Tianguan Zhang, how are the preparations on the Ministry of Industry?"
Gu Changsheng looked at Zhang Yuan.
But it attracted the Great Zhou civil and military people in the court, and they couldn't help but look sideways at the people in the Ministry of Industry next to them, and their hearts were slightly moved.
Before, they only had to pay attention to Gu Changsheng and take out the data.
But I forgot that the chief officer of the Ministry of Industry next to him, Zhang Yuan, the other servants of the Ministry of Industry, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry.
One by one, they don't seem to care at all about the impact of the rebellion of the local feudal towns.
One by one, I don't know where to concentrate my attention.
At this moment, I saw Gu Changsheng looking at Zhang Ran.
The hearts of the officials of the DPRK and China could not help but move.
Could it be that this Xingping Bo had arranged the Ministry of Industry before, and what unimaginable weapons were created to defend the city? Or siege weapons?
Come to think of this.
They couldn't help but become more and more curious.
Facing everyone's eyes, Zhang Yin smiled slightly, but his expression was also boundless confident, and he arched his hand and said, "Xingpingbo, rest assured, we have now entered the final stage of preparation, and in three days, everything will be ready!"
"Good! Then there will be labor, sir!"
Gu Changsheng arched his hand and said.
And on the throne, the empress, who already knew about Gu Changsheng's arrangement, also spoke up: "Since this is the case, then wait for three days, and then Gu Qing will demonstrate to us how to let the world and towns keep to themselves!"
"Yes!"
Everything that happened at today's meeting.
In a short period of time, it spread all over Tianjing City and even the entire Great Zhou.
But it is directly the Great Wednesday Qianzhou Mansion, which is causing changes!
First, the envoys of the thirteen feudal towns were all imprisoned and sent to the heavenly prison.
Immediately afterwards, even the head of the royal family, the king of Anqing County, was put into the prison, and Sima Shang, the imperial historian of Taichung, who colluded with him, was directly sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn.
This news, not to mention the local turmoil, is so exaggerated.
Just after the spread of Tianjing City, it made those royal relatives who were attached to the name of the King of Anqing County in the past panic to the extreme!
They never thought that one day, they would face a threat of life and death, and some of them were so brave that they even went directly to the noon gate and took the initiative to ask for guilt.
Of course.
For these people, the empress did not pursue them excessively.
Unless in the past, they were too harsh on their sharecroppers and forced too many lives.
Otherwise, it is basically just a matter of asking them to hand over their respective Zhuangzi, release their respective tenant farmers, and then burn all those land deeds and bonds.
But there are still some royal relatives who are gritting their teeth and holding on.
Don't want to bow your head easily!
"It's not time to decide yet! Where can the local feudal clans suffer such a big dumb loss?"
"That's right! Haven't you heard? What about the money and food copied out of the palace of Anqing County, and its exaggeration? These were supposed to be delivered to local towns! Now they have all been intercepted by that little lady alone, where will the local feudal domains give up?"
"But are they prepared enough? In the current situation, they dare to raise the banner of rebellion?"
The relatives of the emperor and the country have worries that cannot be concealed.
But in the end, it was the greed in their hearts that took over.
Except for a small number of voluntary confessions.
Most of the royal relatives and relatives gritted their teeth and resisted, and Quan Dang did not see the fate of King Anqingjun.
It's not just them.
Even those imperial historians in Taizhong, there are many, just like those royal relatives, who are unwilling to admit their guilt.
"The preparations of those feudal towns may not be perfect, but so what?"
"Now, if they really sit back and watch this empress and behead the king of Anqing County, how will they accumulate power among the people in the future! Even their subordinates will turn away from morality and dare not follow them anymore!"
"So, they will rebel! There is no second possibility!"
There is Yushi who speaks firmly, and his tone is full of certainty!
Moreover, it seems that this time, the Mandate of Heaven is really on their side, in the hands of those feudal towns.
On the third day of the imprisonment of the king of Anqing County.
It was also what Gu Changsheng said, and he asked the Ministry of Industry to prepare a secret weapon specially used to deal with the local feudal clans, and when it was completed.
On this day, the entire Great Wednesday Qianzhou Mansion, but suddenly, the sky changed greatly!
Immediately.
Deep in the sea of clouds.
One after another, the luck streamers colluded and turned into a light curtain, so that all the people in the Qianzhou Mansion could see the images in the light curtain on the sea of clouds.
What emerged from the light curtain was not somewhere else, but it was the fiefdom of the Qing Domain and the Chu Domain. ap.
It's just that the royal city where King Qing is located, and the royal city where King Chu is located.
At this moment, they can all be called soldiers.
The two feudal towns, each commanded 50,000 soldiers and horses, have bright armor and bright robes, and the swords, guns, swords, and halberds reflect the cold and boundless under the sunlight.
But it made all the people who saw this scene tremble slightly.
And that's not all.
Outside these two royal cities, on the official road, there are banners and the number of people varies, but at least there are more than 10,000 generals of the army of the feudal towns, gathered together!
"Fifteen feudal towns...... Fifteen Kings Alliance......"
"The army is at least, 200,000, and it will be raised today, on the side of the Qing monarch!"
The light curtain lasts.
King Qing and King Chu, with unruly eyes, waved their hands and drew their swords, facing the big flag, blood for an alliance, on this day, raise the flag of rebellion, and announce it to the world!
"Da Zhou, is it really going to be messed up?!"
