Chapter 9: The prosperous age is as good as you wish in Guanzhong

Li Jiancheng finally did not decide to wait for Chen Ying's plan to be implemented. He asked Fang Xuanling to send invitations to the heads or leaders of the Guanzhong clans in the name of the Shangshu Province.

Fang Xuanling copied dozens of invitations and distributed them to the Yuan Dynasty's imperial guards.

Li Jiancheng looked at the imperial guards and pondered: "This is an invitation sent in the name of the Secretariat. Everyone must send the invitation to the government offices to meet the guests on the invitation. If these patriarchs of the Guanzhong family come or not, please be sure to ask for an accurate statement in person..."

All the Yuans bowed with the imperial guards and said, "Abide by the order!"

As he said that, the Yuan Yuan turned around and left with the imperial guards.

The Yuan Dynasty's attendants were all the kind of guards in movies and TV dramas. The curfew ban is not under their control.

Soon, Yuan accompanied the imperial guards to the courtyard of Wenxi Pei's main house. After waiting for an hour, he received the summons from the head of the Pei family.

Yuan's servant respectfully handed the invitation to the head of the Pei family.

The head of the Pei family has a very high generation, and even Pei Ji wants to call him Bo Gong Pei Yan.

Although Pei Yang was nearly 80 years old, his body was very strong. He opened the invitation expressionlessly and glanced at the attendant of the Yuansui Imperial Army and said, "Go back and tell Feng Pushe that I have been unwell these days and will not attend the banquet..."

Yuansui's attendant, clearly saw Pei Fei's face, his eyes were rosy, his eyes were shining, and he didn't look like he was ill at all.

However, this was obviously Pei Yang's excuse, so he could not reveal it, so he had to turn around and leave Pei's ancestral home and go back to report his life.

The Xue family mansion in Hedong, Chang'an City.

At this time, the Xue family of Hedong was Xue Daoshi, the Internal Secretary of the Sui Dynasty (equivalent to the Internal Secretary of the Tang Dynasty), and Xue Daoshi, the junior minister of the founding official Yitong Sansi, and the Sili Officer Xue Daoheng.

Xue Daoshi is nearly 70 years old, and it seems that he is about to make a living.

Xue Daoshi looked at the attendant of Yuan Sui's Imperial Army and said, "I am old and unable to move. Please give me some consideration. I will not attend this party."

Yuan followed the imperial guards to leave Xue's mansion helplessly.

In fact, it is not only the Pei family and Xue family in Guanzhong, but also the Wei family in Jingzhao, the Liu family in Hedong, the Dou family in Dou family, including the Yuan family and Dugu family all encountered a wall.

Li Jiancheng sat wither all night, his mouth was covered with bubbles, and he looked at dozens of Yuansui's imperial guards who came to report his life.

Li Jiancheng was furious and said, "None of the whole family came?"

Fang Xuanling shook his head and was speechless, and the Yuan Yuan followed the imperial guards and bowed his head without saying a word.

Wei Zheng looked at Li Jiancheng squinted his eyes angrily, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Wei Zheng waved his hand, and the Yuan Yuan slowly retreated from the Lizheng Hall with the imperial guards.

Li Jiancheng said angrily: "I was defeated by Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, and Luoyang suffered heavy losses. We also had no food or soldiers. I asked the big families for help. They not only provided 100,000 young and strong horses, but also more than 30,000 war horses and 500,000 stones of food. Now, aren't they afraid of angering me?"

Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty was like sailing against the current, and if you didn't advance, you would retreat. Besides, Your Majesty promised the benefits of Luoyang's land, and the Guanlong gentry donated generously. But now, what they want is that Your Majesty cannot give them. Even if Your Majesty has ascended the throne and let them rebel, they have no courage. But when Your Majesty is in trouble, they must watch it on the wall."

Li Jiancheng shouted angrily: "Are they not afraid, will I confiscate their home?"

Wei Zheng stared at Li Jiancheng helplessly and said, "What reason does Your Majesty use? Is it a corruption or a corruption?"

Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, pinched his temple with a headache and said, "Xuanling, Xuancheng, where can I get life-saving food now?"

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Jiancheng in a daze.

Wei Zheng said lightly: "Chen..."

At this moment, the drums sounded outside at the third day of the day.

A Yuan accompanying the imperial guard suddenly came in and reported: "Your Majesty, General Chen has sent him an urgent letter!"

Li Jiancheng hurriedly took the urgent letter.

Wei Zhengze frowned slightly from the side and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry about everything. To govern the world, we need to work together!"

Li Jiancheng held his anxious hand and trembled unconsciously.

Wei Zheng quickly glanced at the urgent letter, felt relieved in his heart, and sighed: "Your Majesty, God bless the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Jiancheng, who was in poor spirit, took full advantage of the crown and climbed to the Danbao.

All officials and ministers were careful.

Li Jiancheng cleared his throat and said, "You are the natural disasters in Guanzhong, but you can't linger. Now, there are more than a dozen prefectures and counties in Guanzhong, and I can't sleep or eat because of this. You are all talented people. Can you come up with a feasible strategy?"

Li Jiancheng's eyes first stared at the prime ministers standing in the forefront.

Xiao Yu, Feng Deyi, Chen Shuda, Yang Gongren, Yu Wenshi and these old ministers looked at each other, but no one came out to speak.

Li Jiancheng turned his attention to Wang Gui, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others in the back row.

Wei Zheng stepped out and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, for the sake of this, I am afraid that I can only cut off the imperial guards, border troops, and move the food accumulated by the army out to provide disaster relief."

Wang Gui stepped out of the list and said with a tough bullet: "Your Majesty, you can send people to the county that has not yet been affected to buy food, even if it is twice as expensive as in previous years, it is still possible."

Fang Xuanling also said: "I am willing to set an example and donate half of the food stored in my family to the court."

Li Jiancheng looked at the ministers.

Yang Gongren said aiyi: "I am willing to donate half of the food stored in my family to the court!"

...

The ministers expressed their willingness to sacrifice half of the stored grain, but the ones who stored grain had hundreds of stones and the few dozen stones. All the civil and military officials combined, and barely collected more than 30,000 stones of grain.

Compared with the food crisis in Guanzhong, these grains are undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.

Li Jiancheng looked at the ministers, his voice suddenly raised octaves and asked coldly: "What about the people? What about the people in Guanzhong?"

Xiao Yu went out and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the court should send people to appease the people of Guanzhong. We must not let them go out of Tongguan and beg for begging in Hedong, Henan, otherwise the counties and counties in the world will be extremely frightened if they don't know the inside story of Guanzhong."

Feng Deyi also came out and said: "If millions of hungry people come out of seclusion and begging, what is the face of the court? Where is the face of His Majesty?"

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng sighed: "Your Majesty, what Xiao Prime Minister said is the most. Now, you must not allow hungry people to come out of seclusion, otherwise, it will shake the local area at the least, and trigger civil rebellion at the worst.

All the ministers also agreed.

Li Jiancheng frowned.

...

In the Qi Palace, there were several jars of wine poured on the table. Li Yuanji was drinking the wine and laughed unscrupulously: "Boss, now I am so worried that my hair has fallen off, haha..."

While trying to take away the jar of wine from Li Yuanji's hand, Xie Shufang advised: "Your Highness, you've drunk too much!"

Li Yuanji broke free from Xie Shufang's hand and smiled, "I want to see how long he can be proud of himself. In the end, I will still have to come out and clean up the mess!"

Xie Shufang looked at Li Yuanji's drunkenness and laughed wildly, saying, "The green and yellow are not allowed to meet. If the food is not obtained, the army will soon be out of food. Without food, the morale of the army will be unstable and the morale of the army will be unstable... The soldiers will stew us, the soldiers, in a big pot, and eat it!"

Xie Shufang and Yu Wenhuahe took a deep breath.

What Li Yuanji said is the truth after all. Before the troops move, food and grass will come first. If there is no food, no matter how well-equipped the army will have no morale and no morale. Then how can we fight this battle then?

What's more, the Eastern Turks are eyeing each other and are not easy to deal with...

Just then, Li Yuanji looked at Yu Wenhua and said, "Sir, the official warehouse should be about to come to an end, right?"

"In less than ten days!" Yu Wenhua said: "The affordable grain in Guanjian has increased to eighty dollars in rice!"

Li Yuanji said: "It's not that there is no way to make rice in Guanzhong. At that time, the food belongs to us. We will sell it for ten thousand yuan per bull, and we will starve to death if we don't eat it!"

Yu Wenhuaji nodded and said, "Don't worry, your highness, I know what to do!"

...

Under the same sky, in the east side hall of the front yard of Chenjiabao.

Luo Shixin was wearing mourning clothes and respectfully to Zhang Xutuo's spiritual position.

Wei Zheng murmured: "A scholar was buried in three months, and the month was the month, and the doctor was buried in three months, and the month was the month, and the month was the month, and the month was the month, and the month was the month, and the princes were buried in seven months. After the death of the General Zhang, he was buried in a deserted tomb, talking about mourning, and there were no steles for memorial service. This was true for Zhang, the same as the Duke of Mi, and the same as the King of Xia..."

Wei Zheng sighed and drank the wine in his hand in one go.

Luo Shixin's eyes became redder as he drank wine.

Wei Zheng looked at Luo Shixin and remembered Zhang Xutuo, the boss who was both a father and a eldest son, and was about to the verge of an outbreak.

Luo Shixin looked at Wei Zheng angrily and shouted: "Get out, don't cry here, just pretend to be merciful."

Wei Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "The deceased is gone, and the scholars must take their anger on Duke Mi? For General Zhang, no wonder Duke Mi, and no wonder Wei Zheng, General Zhang committed suicide!"

Luo Shixin's eyes turned red, and he grabbed Wei Zheng's hand and shouted: "That's what you guys are trying to do!"

Wei Zheng hurriedly explained: "I have no selfish grudges with General Zhang, but the road is completely different, so I don't agree with him."

Luo Shixin suddenly raised his fist and was about to smash Wei Zheng's face.

At this moment, Luo Shixin found that his fist seemed to be pinched by an iron plier and could not move.

Luo Shixin turned around and found that at some point Qin Qiong appeared behind him and clamped his hand hard.

Luo Shixin shouted: "Let go!"

Qin Qiong said embarrassedly: "There must not be presumptuous in front of General Zhang!"

Luo Shixin let go angrily.

Chen Ying then smiled and said, "It's rare for old friends to gather together. I won't go home until I get drunk tonight."

Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong, Wei Zheng and Chen Ying were drinking, but everyone had their worries. Before they knew it, the four jars of wine were already bottoming out.

Qin Qiong suddenly picked up a jar of wine and tilted his head up.

Chen Ying said urgently: "Uncle Qin, you can't drink it anymore!"

Qin Qiong ignored Chen Ying's persuasion and continued to drink. The more he drank, the whiter his face became, as white as paper.

Wei Zheng stepped forward, raised his feet and kicked Qin Qiong's jar to the ground.

"Uncle Qin, you're enough!"

Qin Qiong staggered up and grabbed Wei Zheng.

There is no way. Although Wei Zheng is straightforward, his skills are not enough in front of Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong.

Chen Ying hurriedly said, "Stop, you have something to say!"

Qin Qiong grabbed Wei Zheng's collar and shouted, "Why? Why do you do this?"

Wei Zheng roared, "Qin Shubao, I knew you... you are not convinced. Do you think you can win if you are in Chang'an and deposed King Qin? I tell you, Your Majesty is thinking about it... I just wish that the world is peaceful and the world is Chang'an."

Qin Qiong yelled: "Is the King of Qin worse than today?"

Wei Zheng stood up excitedly, waved his sleeves and shouted: "Li Shimin thought... how to achieve... the imperial career that has surpassed the ages,... the way the Tao is going is completely different. Li Shimin... he... could not... leave his selfish thoughts... he is exactly the same as Yang Guang. Everything he does is for himself, so... we will never become a fellow traveler... As the saying goes, the Tao is different and does not make plans for each other!"

Qin Qiong sneered, "Now Guanzhong is hungry everywhere, and starving in the four fields. This prosperous era is as you wish?"

Luo Shixin suddenly stood up and said, "Uncle Qin, what's the ability to bully the Master? If you have the ability, I'll fight you!"

Qin Qiong left Wei Zheng and rushed towards Luo Shixin and said, "If you fight, you will be afraid of whom!"

Luo Shixin stepped forward and raised his fist. Qin Qiong turned his body, carried Luo Shixin's arm with his shoulders, and threw Luo Shixin to the ground.

This time, Luo Shixin fell very hard and didn't get up for a long time.

Luo Shixin struggled, crawling and shouting: "Come again!"

Before Luo Shixin could rise, Asanosimo rushed over and kicked Qin Qiong in the waist.

If Qin Qiong reacted very quickly under normal circumstances, Ashinasmo would not be able to attack him at all. The key is that Qin Qiong drank too much and his reaction was half a beat slower.

As a result, Asuna Smo kicked him in the waist and threw him to the ground.

Luo Shixin pushed Ashinasmo away and roared, "Don't worry about my business!"

Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong fought each other, and they almost didn't use any tricks. They were completely a gangster fight. You punched and I kicked you and you made a big blow.

Chen Ying smiled bitterly and said, "It's time to go, it's lively!"

Wei Zheng said: "It's okay, they are used to it, they are angry in their hearts... Just vent it!"

Chen Ying nodded.

Wei Zheng said: "General Chen will take a break first, our battle will be even more exciting tomorrow!"

Chen Ying nodded.

The price of grain in Guanzhong will dive tomorrow. The first batch of grain from Henan Prefecture, a total of 200,000 stones will enter Guanzhong from Tongguan along the road.

At that time, the grain dealers who are in charge will suffer heavy losses.

Chen Ying once calculated that the grain traders in Guanzhong have already exceeded 2.5 million shi, and it may even approach the three million shi mark. The average price of these grains they earn is fifty coins per bull. This means that they have paid nearly 1.5 million shi in order to short the Guanzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhongzhong

You should know that when the Li Tang court traded with the Shandong Aristocratic Group, he obtained 1.75 million yuan of property and took half of the country.

They would not be vigilant when the first batch of 200,000 shi of grain entered the pass, and they would even think that this was the reserve grain that Hongnong Yang helped Li Jiancheng to rescue. They would not allow Li Jiancheng to suppress the price of grain. Even if Chen Ying offered a price of 100 coins per dou, they would have to eat it with all their strength.

Chen Ying left the front yard and headed to the bedroom in the back yard. However, the area of ​​Chenjiabao was too large, and Chen Ying was blown by the wind and the wine surged.

Entering the backyard, Chen Ying began to feel confused and did not notice Changsun Wugui standing next to him.

Changsun Wugui was shocked when he saw Chen Ying, and quickly lowered his head and eyes, bowed and bowed.

Chen Ying pressed his head and walked straight inside. While untiing his coat, he forced himself to cheer up and shouted: "Don't you see, the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky, flows to the sea and never returns. Don't you see, the mirror in the high hall is sad and the white hair is like blue hair and snow in the evening. Life is full of joy, don't let the golden cup face the moon. I am born to be useful, and I will come again after all the gold is gone..."

Changsun Wugui hesitated for a moment and quickly chased forward, trying to help Chen Ying take off his coat.

Chen Ying entered the bedroom and threw off his coat directly.

The outer cloak did not fall to the ground, but fell directly into Changsun Wugui's hands.

Chen Ying didn't look back, listened to the footsteps and said with guilty expression: "Sanniang, I'm drunk too much today, you can go to bed first..."

Then at this moment, Li Xiuning walked out of the bedroom and the moment when she collided with Chen Ying's eyes, Chen Ying's voice suddenly stopped.

At this time, Changsun Wugui was holding Chen Ying's coat and taking off.

Chen Ying noticed something was wrong, turned around suddenly, looked at Changsun Wugui, and subconsciously raised his hand and knocked her away.

Changsun Wugui screamed and fell to the ground, and Chen Ying's coat was put on her head.

Chen Ying frowned and roared: "Who is it?"

Chen Ying saw Changsun Wugui's face clearly, and for a moment, he was shocked. He hurriedly looked at Li Xiuning

Li Xiuning came up and said, "Chen Lang..."

Before Li Xiuning could react, Chen Ying rushed to her with a quick step. He hugged Li Xiuning and protected him nervously and carefully. Then, he turned to Changsun Wugui again, with sharp and fierce eyes.

Chen Ying's voice was chilling and he said murderously: "How did you come in?"

Changsun Wugui sat on the ground in fear, looking at Chen Ying at a loss, and Li Xiuning with a confused look on his face.

Chen Ying's face changed slightly, and he shouted sternly: "Speak quickly, what do you want to do when you are in the backyard?"

Li Xiuning came back to her senses, looked at Chen Ying holding his big hand tightly, and said with a burst of laughter and cry for a moment: "Chen Lang, she is..."

Before Li Xiuning's speech was calm, Chen Ying was extremely angry and rushed to Changsun Wugui, picked her up, pinched her neck tightly, and said with a harsh expression: "I told you, I hate others forcing me the most, you are seeking death..."

Changsun Wugui couldn't even scream, and his face instantly turned from white to blue, struggling dejectedly.
