Chapter Sixty-Eight: Mysterious Invitation! The Emperor and the Anti-Thief!

"Chishiro······ Wang Bo?! ”

"Is he crazy?"

"Why is this invitation being sent? And also in such an open and honest way! ”

All the people who received the invitation subconsciously showed absurd expressions on their faces.

Who is Zhishilang Wang Bo?

The first real anti-thief of the Sui Dynasty!

In order to realize his great ambitions and political ideals, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty began to carry out a series of large-scale projects after he ascended the throne, such as the construction of the Grand Canal, the pro-conquest of Tuguhun, the three conquests of Goguryeo, and so on.

It is undeniable that these projects themselves are excellent, such as the Grand Canal project, which not only left a great political legacy for Li Shimin, but also benefits us today.

But no matter how good the project is, there are some things that cannot be ignored, such as as the well-known fact that everything that is engaged in a big project is indispensable.

Money!

Tons of money!

During the reign of Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, although he also left some inheritance to Yang Guang, the money was obviously not enough to support Yang Guang's great ambitions.

Similar to a certain LeTV, a big project, a big project to push out, in the end, the capital chain can't keep up, pop, it's over!

In this respect, Yang Guang is quite similar to the one who will return next week.

Wrong.

Jia Mouzhi will at least use 'suffocating for dreams' to fool his partner, Yang Guang not only did not do this, but also pushed his own big project, while constantly suppressing his 'partner'.

In this case, if he can succeed, it will be a hell of a fact.

The inheritance given by the father is not enough, and the 'partner' can't squeeze out the money, what should Yang Guang do?

Then you can only 'suffer' the people.

According to the principles of economics, labor is equivalent to money, and the state's conscription is the 'free' labor force that the state conscripts the people.

In order to realize his great ambition, Yang Guang increased the servitude of the people.

To sum it up in one sentence, it is Yang Guang who 'robbed' the people's money!

The annual labor force of the common people is limited, and if you occupy a large number of the labor force, the money generated by the remaining labor force will naturally be difficult to support themselves, which is the people's lack of livelihood.

What's more, even if the conscription takes up a lot of their labor, it's still very dangerous! There is the possibility of death at every turn!

The reasons for this are complex, but they can be broadly grouped into three types.

One is that no one wants to do 'free' work, and the Overseers have to whip it.

The second is that conscription can be exempted by spending money, and the money will definitely not reach Yang Guang in the end, so in his opinion, the number of people remains the same.

And the quantity of work is formulated according to the number of people, maybe according to the initial amount of work, it is not difficult for this number of people, but who makes the actual number of people smaller?

If the number of people is small, the amount of work remains the same, and more 'responsibility' can only be shared among each worker.

The third is the problem of corruption, among many affairs, the corruption of forced labor should be the most serious one, because the people who do forced labor are basically the poorest people, and there is no backing behind them.

If there is no backer, it means that it is easy to bully, so the money and food allocated by the court to the conscripts are naturally pumped layer by layer.

Normally, although there is no salary for forced labor, the imperial court is at least in charge of food, but after this layer of exploitation, the common people have to bring their own food to do forced labor. What's even more outrageous is that the food they bring with them may be exploited by the Overseers!

Who will be able to survive this?

Therefore, in the middle and late Sui Dynasty, being conscripted into forced labor was basically equivalent to death, and Yang Guang, who had already suppressed all his net worth, not only did not lightly reduce the levy, but continued to increase the conscription.

Then, naturally, the backlash came.

Anything that is free has already been marked with a price code on the back.

Conscription is free, and it seems very useful, but if you dare to abuse it, the consequences will be unbearable!

Throughout the ages, the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprisings at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the Yellow Turban Army uprisings at the end of the Han Dynasty have forced honest peasants to revolt, almost all of them because of forced labor.

In the seventh year of the Great Cause, that is, in 611 AD, Yang Guanggang had not been on the throne for less than ten years, and the rest of the world was fine, but the Shandong region could no longer support it.

On the one hand, the aggravation of conscription is one thing, and there are successive droughts and floods, coupled with the fact that almost all of the conscripts who went to Goguryeo were in their area, and the soldiers and civilians suffered great damage, and as a result, not only did they not receive corresponding compensation, but the imperial court also vigorously oppressed and exploited, and the hatred of the people in Shandong for Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty reached its peak.

Wang Bo directly ascended to Changbai Mountain and shouted, and all the people responded, and finally accompanied by a song "Song of Death in the Waves of Liaodong", a vigorous peasant uprising began.

"The former governor of Changbai Mountain, wearing a pure red Luo brocade crotch, spear Xiao invaded the sky and a half, the wheel knife shines in the sun, goes up the mountain to eat roe deer, goes down the mountain to eat cattle and sheep, suddenly hears that the official army is coming, and swings forward with a knife, such as Liaodong died, and he was injured by beheading."

Wang Bo, who was originally just a blacksmith, became famous all over the world.

Under the impetus of some well-intentioned people, his reputation is so good that his Changbai Mountain uprising is completely the most righteous move!

Of course, from the perspective of the common people, Wang Bo's uprising can indeed be called a righteous act.

At that time, in Shandong, the common people were indeed about to survive, and Wang Bo led them to revolt, which at least brought them a glimmer of life.

In this regard, Wang Bo can indeed be called a righteous act.

If it were in other places, and they received this invitation from Wang Bo, most of them would probably give face and go to the appointment.

But what is this place?

Chang'an City!

The old capital of the Sui Dynasty!

Yang Guang is sitting in that palace!

You are an anti-thief, or the No. 1 anti-thief in Tianzi, how dare you send us an invitation so grandiosely? Don't you want to live anymore? Or don't you want to die?!

After feeling extremely ridiculous, everyone who came to their senses flashed their eyes and looked in the direction of the palace.

"Yang Guang, what will you do at this time?"

It is extremely rare that the major forces have temporarily taken their eyes away from the incident in Yang Gong's treasure house and put it on Yang Guang.

As the nominal first person in the Sui Dynasty, the top stream in the entire world, Yang Guang himself has received extraordinary attention, not to mention that he is now related to another 'top stream'.

In the entertainment industry, this is the top stream of the new generation who directly stand up and provoke the first top stream in person!

Who wants to let go of this kind of event, which is like Mars hitting the earth?

Just when everyone thought that a great turmoil was about to break out, and even the incident of Yang Gong's treasure house might be detonated in advance, the palace was calm as usual.

Just like when a large number of Cultivation Masters poured into Chang'an City, Yang Guang did not make any movement from beginning to end, as if he didn't know the existence of this invitation at all.

But it is clear to all that this is not possible.

Don't look at Yang Guang now, it seems that he has become a complete loser, and he will no longer have any chance in the next turmoil.

But everyone knows that the Yang Guang they know well has the means and abilities that are beyond anyone can imagine.

Even if it has fallen to the current point, the private armed forces in Yang Guang's hands are still above the Yuwen Valve and the Dugu Valve.

Why are Yu Wenhua and Dugu Feng so 'obedient' listening to Yang Guang's orders, isn't it because he is stronger!

If it weren't for a series of things that happened before, Yang Guang would have completely offended the wealthy families in the world, and he would no longer be able to get their help, where would there be Yuwen Valve and Dugu Valve now!

To put it simply, in this Chang'an City, if you talk about personal power alone, Yang Guang is definitely still sitting in the first place!

It can even be said that there are not many big and small things that happen in Chang'an City that can hide from him, let alone Wang Bo's such a blatant invitation.

In other words, Yang Guang knew about the existence of this invitation, but there was still no reaction.

"Why is this happening?"

"Has he really given up completely?"

At this moment, the people of the major forces felt extremely dazed.

No matter how wise and analytical a person is, in the face of such a situation, he feels that his brain is not enough.

That's Wang Bo!

The first thief in the true sense of the Sui Dynasty!

Although the momentum he created was far less than that of the latecomer Wagangzhai, and even now it is still trapped in Shandong, and it has been defeated by Zhang Xutuo several times and cannot be saved.

But it is undeniable that it is precisely because of the appearance of Wang Bo that the Sui Dynasty gradually began to enter the stage of peasant uprisings in the world.

No matter what level you look at, Wang Bo is one of the people he Yang Guang hates the most, and he should kill him if he says anything!

Even if it was difficult to kill Wang Bo because he was a grandmaster-level powerhouse, it would be impossible for him to be so arrogant in Chang'an City, right?

It's good to even make a show!

Yang Guang really doesn't want any face at all?!

Everyone felt incomprehensible.

Is this still the domineering Yang Guang in their cognition?

"Yang Guang is not moving, what should we do next? Are you going to this party? Judging from Wang Bo's actions, this banquet is probably not so simple, and I guess it will probably have something to do with Yang Gong's treasure house! ”

"Hmm······ Let's wait and see what happens! ”

The vast majority of people have chosen to wait and see.

This time the incident was indeed a little too weird.

Whether it was Wang Bo suddenly sending out this invitation in a bright and bright way, or Yang Guang's completely unintentional and inaction, these greatly surprised their expectations.

It can be said that the occurrence of these two things directly broke their normal logical thinking.

It stands to reason that this shouldn't be the case!

It is also because these things are too contrary to normal logical thinking, so these people at the top of the world don't know what to do.

can only choose to wait and see what happens, and see how events develop later.

The banquet was scheduled for three days later.

In these days, the city of Chang'an is still so calm.

It's just that the undercurrent under the calm is even more turbulent than before!

Maybe the vast majority of people don't know what kind of fame Wang Bo is doing, but they know that coming out to make trouble at this time is absolutely inseparable from Yang Gong's treasure house.

Many people even feel that the banquet three days later is likely to be the time point to detonate Yang Gong's treasure house!

At that time, Yang Gong's treasure house, the evil emperor relics, and all the belongings will have an answer.

This is actually not quite in line with the ideas of the major forces, and just three days is not enough for them to prepare.

But that's what happened, it had already happened, and they couldn't afford to think about it anymore.

The only thing they can do now is to increase their chances of success as much as possible!

"United! Combined with Yuwen Valve and Dugu Valve! ”

Li Yuan made such a decision.

Today's Chang'an City is too terrifying, relying on the power of their Li Valve alone, it is absolutely impossible to take advantage of the fire and get enough benefits.

Only when the three major valves join forces can it be possible to bite a big piece of cake from it!

The most important thing is that their three major valves also have a joint foundation, although each family has a large number of interest disputes, they also have corresponding in-laws involved.

In a life-and-death showdown, this kind of in-law is naturally useless, but at this time, this kind of in-law will become their best button!

Li Yuan originally thought that even if this matter could be succeeded in the end, it would take a lot of effort.

He Li Valve didn't talk about it first, but only said that between Yuwen Valve and Dugu Valve, not long ago, they almost beat each other's dog brains out.

How easy is it to get them to sit down and discuss the joint thing?

But what Li Yuanwan didn't expect was that he had just made contact with the two families with the help of Li Xiuning, and it didn't take long for them to negotiate.

It was You Chuhong who came forward on Dugu Valve's side, compared to Dugu Feng, who had no foresight, this old lady was much more powerful, and it was not a surprise to Li Yuan to agree to the union.

The key is that Yuwen Valve's side, it was Yu Wenhua who came forward, and he even agreed directly!

"It seems that Shimin is right, this Yu culture is indeed very different from the past!"

Li Yuan's eyes flickered, and he thought about whether this matter was good or bad for them Li Valve.

······

The three major gate valves are united.

The other major forces, or the major grandmaster-level powerhouses, did not waste time, and they realized that the Armageddon would come soon, and they also began their journey of alliance and alliance.

The sect forces have joined forces with each other, the demon sects and evil ways have joined forces with each other, Buddhism and Confucianism seem to have colluded with each other, and the commanders of the righteous army have joined forces with each other······

These are only on the surface, secretly, who has joined forces with whom, then it is not easy to say.

In the face of this huge benefit, even if some people in the Demon Gate and the Buddhist Sect join forces, it is not impossible.

And so the days passed.

Chang'an City spent three days under this seemingly calm surface.

In the past three days, there has still been no movement in the palace, and Yang Guang seems to have completely ignored life and death in the outside world.

On this day.

The banquet held by Wang Bo finally began.
