"Originally, the lonely king wanted to ask, whether you wanted to live or die. Now, it seems, this question is no longer needed. So what should you do next, I think everyone already knows it in their hearts. ”

The people present were all big names and surnames in Qinzhou City, and none of them were stupid, so of course they understood what Li Ye meant. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than asking for money and food. This is the proper meaning of the question, otherwise the military disaster will not be called a military disaster.

Wherever the army went, serious plants and trees did not give birth to chickens and dogs, and some of them had to scrape a layer of flesh and skin of the people. The so-called army of the king, when going out on an expedition, often has to raise grain and grass, and the army is not engaged in production, so naturally it has to find the people to ask for it.

Li Ye's meaning is very clear, they want to take out money, food and labor for the army. Not only that, from now on, the official army will send troops to the north to continue to attack Hedong, and Qinzhou will also continue to supply grain and grass and ensure logistics.

However, the officials and squires inside and outside the hall, after listening to Li Ye's words, not only did not resist the opposition, but also breathed a sigh of relief one by one, and their expressions looked much more relaxed. It's as if Li Ye asked them for money and food, not their loss, but their honor.

"The official army conquest of the traitors, the soldiers fought on the battlefield, as the Tang ministers and Tang people, we should raise food for the army!" Qinzhou Assassin Shi immediately expressed his position on behalf of everyone, "No matter how much food His Highness wants, as long as you give a number, we will immediately collect it to ensure that the army will not miss the time of the battle!"

Qinzhou Thorn Shi's attitude was sincere and eager, and he didn't leave room for himself to say anything, so it can be said that there was no way out. If Li Ye's lion opened his mouth widely, it would be impossible for them not to bleed.

But none of the officials and squires objected, and they all echoed their words, and many of them spoke passionately, saying that for the sake of the Tang Dynasty's country, they were not afraid of destroying their homes and relieving difficulties.

Rao was in Li Ye's state of mind, and when he saw everyone's attitude at first glance, he couldn't help but have a thought in his mind: Aren't these people all 100% loyal ministers of my Tang Dynasty?

Of course not.

Li Ye reacted quickly.

The officers and troops led by the Pinglu Army came to Hedong under the banner of rebellion, and Li Keyong was a traitor who did not respect the orders of the imperial court and supported the army with bad intentions. Whether people in the world believe this statement or not, Li Ye and the soldiers under his command must believe it.

Since Li Keyong is a traitor to the imperial court, the officials and soldiers of Qinzhou City who helped him resist the official army are naturally also guilty. Whether it is the soldiers of Hedong or the officials and people of Qinzhou, they may not agree with this statement before, but now, the city of Qinzhou is broken, and they have to agree if they don't agree with it.

Because now everything is Li Ye's final say.

As a guilty person who was defeated, if Li Ye wanted to exterminate their families, in the face of hundreds of thousands of troops and countless great monks above the real human realm, they would not even have room to resist.

And Li Ye also has reasons and possibilities to do so.

The reason is that Li Ye wanted to deter other states and counties in Hedong, and it is possible that Li Ye had already done this when he dealt with Wei Bo before. Wei Bojiedu was treated like this by him.

If a guilty person wants to live, if he wants to keep his position, he has to make meritorious deeds, and he has to pay the price.

Providing food for the army is the condition that Li Ye prescribed.

The officials and clans in Qinzhou, of course, accepted it gladly, no matter how much Li Ye wanted, even if they couldn't take it out themselves, they would go to the people to "borrow".

As long as they can survive and save their lives, this is a supreme victory for these Qinzhou magnates. As for the small price to pay, it is not significant.

Some officials and heads of big clans have already made up their minds at this time, and they will definitely perform well later, take on more grain and straw shares, and leave a good impression in front of Li Ye, maybe there may be a future blessing.

As for the share of the extra grain, it will naturally be distributed to the people. As a powerful person in Qinzhou, who does not have thousands of acres of fertile land and tens of thousands of tenant farmers under his name?

As for the officials, it would be easier to do it, and after going down, they could just set up a name and collect taxes. For example, the tax on raising ducks, the tax on repairing houses, and even the tax on walking - you have to pay a fee for walking on the official road, and you will be charged according to the distance traveled. In this way, you will not have to worry about not being able to accumulate money. This is how the so-called excesses and miscellaneous taxes came about.

Li Ye glanced at everyone, and in the face of everyone's impassioned statements, he looked at the fire with a calm expression: "You are so reasonable, and you are very relieved. Marching Chief, you have come to talk to them about this. ”

The marching commander is Li Zhen, who is now standing on the side, and bowed down when he heard the words: "Humble and orderly." Dare to ask Your Highness, how much grain will Qinzhou produce?"

Li Ye smiled: "Of course, you can do what you can, and you can produce as much as you can." ”

Li Zhengong said yes.

Li Ye suddenly restrained his smile: "But I want to remind you that raising food for the army is the only chance for you to atone for your sins." If someone goes to forcibly expropriate the people's food at this time, this sin is no less than rebellion, so you should weigh it. ”

Everyone looked stunned. Immediately, they all clearly felt a cold and biting chill, as if they were suddenly in the ice and snow. They instantly understood Li Ye's determination.

Just now, those officials who planned to take care of everything and distribute the share of grain and straw to the people, or who planned to make a name for the history of the establishment of a tax, all felt like a man on their backs and fidgeted. The evil thoughts that had just arisen, because of the little breath released by Li Ye, all disappeared, and they never dared to be born again.

When everyone came back from the cold and wanted to express their stance again and resolutely carry out Li Ye's orders, they were stunned one by one - where is Li Ye's shadow on the main seat?

Of course, Li Ye won't waste too much time on this matter, he has already left to do other things.

It's just that Li Ye walked too fast, so fast that they couldn't catch the action at all, as if they disappeared out of thin air.

These Qinzhou magnates in the hall are the worst cultivators and qi practitioners, and after a little thought, they can't help but feel awe-inspired.

They only knew that Li Ye's cultivation was high and strong, and he had reached the real human realm, and even the immortals of the Buddha Domain couldn't help it.

Now that I have experienced Li Ye's strength, I know that hearing is better than seeing it. They deeply realized Li Ye's horror, and it was not something they could disobey at all.

Perhaps, King An is already the strongest man in the dynasty. Many people can't help but think of this idea.

It's good that this idea doesn't surface, but as soon as it emerges, it occupies the minds of many people, making them can't help but think more.

If King An is already the strongest man in the dynasty, what does it mean? Two generations of King An have successively become famous all over the world, dominating the world, and cultivating to be the best in the world, what does this mean?

Thinking of this, some people couldn't help but shudder, and didn't dare to continue to think deeply.

Qinzhou Thorn Shi reacted first, and hurriedly turned to salute the sky above the courtyard: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness King An!"

The officials and squires in the courtyard of the hall hurriedly gathered their minds, all turned around and bowed, and said in unison: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness King An!"

......

Li Zhen's discussion with everyone did not last long.

There were only two topics in the deliberations, one was how much grain and straw Qinzhou should bear, and the other was how much each family would share these grains.

Of course, the lack of topics is not the real reason for the short time of the discussions. Both of these issues are weighty and troublesome, and will cause a lot of fighting, and in normal times, it is not easy to find a point to balance the interests of all parties, and it is possible for everyone to quarrel for ten days and a half.

But today is different.

Li Zhen first asked the history of Qinzhou to find the tax records of previous years, and after assessing the financial situation of Qinzhou, he also delineated the amount of grain and straw in combination with the specific situation of the family. After Qinzhou Thorn Shi obtained the specific figures of grain and straw, he apportioned the share of each family according to his understanding of the situation of each family.

Li Zhen's decision, naturally no one will have objections, and they will not dare, even if the number is very large.

What surprised Li Zhen was that after the Qinzhou Thorn History distributed the shares of the other families, the families basically had no opinions. It can be seen that the history of Qinzhou Thorn is very clear about the situation of each family, and it has been "tailor-made", which makes everyone have no controversy.

Thinking of this, Li Zhenduo glanced at Qinzhou Thorn History, this middle-aged man with a big belly and a red face, who was scared by Li Ye to pee his pants when he met before, really has some impressive skills.

After the task was completed, Li Zhen went to Li Ye for a real-time report.

......

After Li Ye met Li Zhen, he kept dealing with official documents until late at night.

Hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting, each soldier has to eat, drink and Lazar, there will be friction and disputes between the different vassals of each army, and after attacking the city and plundering the land, the soldiers will also have conflicts with the local powerful people - of course, more often than not, the soldiers loot property and women...... All of this, many things need to be handled by Li Ye as a whole, which is naturally not simple.

In addition to the army's conquest of Hedong, the military and political affairs of Pinglu will also be reported to Li Ye for decision. There are also various important military and political affairs, accidents, and regular reports, etc. Not only that, but Li Yan will also inform Li Ye of the great plans in the court...... The situation in the world is also within the scope of Li Ye's attention......

In this way, Li Ye was very busy.

However, Li Ye is now a real person with strong mental power, and the affairs he handled the day before can now be completed in an hour, so he will not bury himself in the pile of books and papers all day long.

Early in the morning of the second day, Li Ye had just pushed open the door when he met Song Jiao, who had already walked to the threshold and raised his hand, and was about to knock on the door. The two collided directly, and their chests were squeezed together, and they were separated at a glance. A full wave suddenly swayed in front of the beauty, which was particularly moving.

However, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the two of them to collide with each other, and when they cultivate to their realm, their control over their bodies has reached a height that ordinary people can't imagine, and they can withdraw and leave at any time.

Song Jiao's delicate makeup and gorgeous facial features were all slightly weird because of her stunned expression. Panicked like a caterpillar, crawling up her white and red face. But her frightened eyes brightened, but she looked at Li Ye motionlessly.

Li Ye didn't have the slightest sense of crime, but joked with a smile: "Scared stupid?"

The surprised and stunned beauty came back to her senses, instantly annoyed and angry, Xia Fei cheeked, and asked, "You did it on purpose?!"

Li Ye spread out his hands and said with an innocent face: "You are doubting the character of the dignified Prince of the Tang Dynasty!"

Song Jiao's annoyance and anger quickly turned into gritted teeth: "What about the deceitful ghost! With your cultivation, you won't notice that I'm in front of the door?"
