Seeing that everyone's emotions had eased, Tian Meng hurriedly spoke: "Moreover, it's not that we don't have anything to do, Your Highness has also given you a task." ”

"What a task." As soon as everyone heard this, they were instantly interested, and immediately asked excitedly.

"That is to provide a transport force of 40,000 men, which does not need to go to battle, and each person has two pack horses. Deliver supplies to the front when necessary. ”

"Everyone's monthly money is settled according to the normal monthly salary of an ordinary soldier. In addition, each village must provide a certain amount of jerky as support, and the price of jerky will be purchased by Datang Grain Reserve according to the market price. Tian Meng said directly.

As soon as everyone opened their mouths to refute, Tian Meng said directly: "Everyone is not allowed to refute, the money must be held, because now we Datang is not short of money, His Royal Highness said that when the people are rich, Datang can be even richer." ”

"Now that you have money, won't you buy grain, cloth, and salt from Tang Grain Storage in the future? At that time, these profits will naturally be returned to the imperial court, so the money must be held, and if you don't collect the money, Your Highness will not allow you to use and participate. ”

"In addition, the jerky provided by each village is a quota, and it is not allowed to overspend, because if too many cattle and sheep are killed, it will affect the national security of our Datang in the future, don't believe it, the reserve of cattle and sheep is also the national security of our Datang, and the cattle and sheep must ensure a certain amount of survival!"

"In the future, we will be able to provide more wool, more cowhide, cow tendon, horn, and even animal power, right?"

After being on the grassland for so long, Tian Meng knew very well what these people were thinking, so he directly blocked these people's words in advance.

"This ...... Of course, we have no problem transporting supplies and providing jerky, but if we collect money, this ...... Isn't it a national crisis, and we are still making money, so isn't it difficult to make a fortune? A village chief hesitated a few times and spoke.

"You can talk, don't you? You've just been studying for a few days, what is this called national disaster, if you don't know how to use words, you can use it. Tian Meng looked at him angrily and said, these village chiefs also need to learn in their leisure time in winter.

At first glance, these words have just been learned.

"This is called national co-ordination, it is when the imperial court needs to supplement a certain material to buy from you, what is the national difficult wealth, the national difficult wealth is called the Tang Dynasty has been broken, foreign enemies invaded, at that time, you sell things not according to the market price, raise prices, sell at a high price, that is called national difficult wealth." Tian Meng explained it to them.

"Look at you, you can't speak, you're talking about this." Another elderly village chief kicked the village chief just now.

"Hehe, it's my fault, don't I live and learn, then...... Then we are always uneasy. The village chief said with some embarrassment.

"Actually, I can understand everyone's feelings, but everyone, you are all village heads, to put it bluntly, you are all officials of our Datang, although you are grassroots officials, but you should stand with Your Highness, if even you say differently, how can you expect you to go back and persuade your respective villagers?"

"I can understand the idea that everyone has a good life today, and I don't want anyone to ruin our good life, and I want this good life to last forever. But please believe in the imperial court, even if you don't believe in the imperial court, don't you still believe in Your Highness? ”

"To put it bluntly, a dog cub like Goguryeo is not worth our Tang Dynasty to use all our strength to deal with them, His Royal Highness didn't want you to participate, and he didn't even want Hanhai Prefecture to send troops."

"But for the sake of everyone's high fighting spirit, everyone is allowed to participate, but they must follow the normal wartime discipline. Don't delay. ”

"Everyone should understand that our Datang law is the highest criterion now, and the army naturally has the discipline of the army, and this foreign war is also a time to collectively test this discipline."

"Think about it, you are all well-intentioned, but if you do this in the future, when you meet a fair and honest official, he will truthfully report what you provide for free."

"But what if you meet a corrupt and bribed? If I, Tian Meng, were a corrupt and bribe-taker, you were all kind enough to contribute to Datang for free, but in fact, the court gave you a monthly payment, but in the end, the monthly money was swallowed by myself. You say, "Is this a wedding dress for the bad guys?" ”

"Everyone is a man of the grassland, and they are all straightforward people, but you can't deny it, none of us can guarantee that there are no bad people, right? Every bad guy is not a bad guy at the beginning, and they all learn bad step by step. ”

"There are many rats even on this grassland, let alone people who are far smarter than rats?" Tian Meng looked at these village chiefs and said seriously.

Everyone looked at each other, and then thought for a while, and then an old village chief spoke: "Tian Dudu is right, we can't make trouble for the imperial court, we are the most basic officials in the Tang Dynasty, we should set an example, follow the imperial court, and follow His Royal Highness." ”

"In this way, after we all go back, we will tell our respective tribal herdsmen according to the words of Tian Dudu, and then strictly follow the requirements above to complete our tasks."

"We let our respective herdsmen take the money that should be taken, and we can't break the rules and laws of Datang because of ourselves."

"yes, we didn't figure it out before."

"Tian Dudu, then we know, you can give the task."

These can all be elected as village heads, and they are all highly respected and have flexible brains, Tian Meng has said this, and they have gradually understood.

The main thing is that they have corrected their identities, they are not only ordinary herdsmen, but also the last grassroots officials of the Tang Dynasty, they want to guard this last pass for His Royal Highness and stabilize this last pass.

"Good! Thank you for your cooperation, the jerky and related materials provided by each village will be sent to you later, including how many people can come out of each village will tell you, the monthly money of the relevant personnel, the cost of using the horses, etc., and there will be someone from the imperial court to connect with you. ”

"Everyone rest assured, tell the herdsmen in our village, and tell them that His Highness hopes that they will become richer and richer, because the richer our ordinary people, the richer Datang will be."

"To put it mildly, if each family has thousands of sheep, in the future, when our Datang really encounters natural and man-made disasters and needs donations, each family will take out a thousand sheep, which will not let us break our own muscles and bones, and it can be of great help to the whole country, isn't that the truth?!" Tian Meng laughed loudly.
