., the fastest update. I have a backend in Datang!

There is a bright moon in the sky, which illuminates the earth white. However, the bright moonlight falling on Yeon Gaesumun's face makes people feel a bit ferocious and terrifying.

"From the beginning, I had no intention of joining Gu Tianya..."

He slowly raised his hand, clenched it into a fist, and said: "I just used his power to hold the entire Goguryeo in my hands."

…

"From the beginning, he had no intention of surrendering to me!"

Under the same moonlight, Gu Tianya exhaled leisurely.

Things in this world are really coincidences.

When Yuan Gaisuwen clenched his fists in the Andong Protectorate, Gu Tianya actually clenched his fists in the moonlight, and even the words they said were almost the same.

"I just use people like him to better control Goguryeo."

Not far from him, An Yanbing sat quietly on a big rock. She seemed thoughtful when she heard this, and said softly: "That means you have been acting."

Gu Tianya smiled slightly and said: "Miss An, you should change your statement. Yun Gaesumun and I are acting for each other."

"Why do you do this?" An Yanbing's eyes flashed with confusion.

"Because the land of Goguryeo is so large, it can be the foundation for thousands of years of establishment."

Gu Tianya breathed out again, slowly looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said: "The land of Goguryeo has a territory of two thousand miles from north to south. The territory from east to west is slightly narrower, but it also covers an area of ​​more than a thousand miles. As for the population, official statistics are

4.3 million, but this number is definitely not accurate, and the official figures from any country are not accurate."

He paused for a moment and then continued: "For example, slaves from wealthy families, or dependent farmers from wealthy families. In order to avoid taxes, many of them will not register their household registration."

An Yanbing nodded and said: "This situation is not limited to you Han people, but also to us Goguryeo people. The little girl once heard a saying that we Goguryeo actually have a population of 6 million."

Gu Tianya smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to draw a number, and said: "8 million, just a lot more."

An Yanbing was obviously shocked and exclaimed: "There are so many?"

Gu Tianya ignored her shock and continued: "The territory of Goguryeo is almost as large as my Seven Youyun States, and its population of 8 million is more than double that of the Seven Youyun States. Miss An

Tell me, what does this mean?"

An Yanbing hesitated and tentatively replied: "Does this mean a strong foundation?"

"Yes, it is a solid foundation!"

Gu Tianya nodded, his tone gradually became serious, and he said in a deep voice: "For some time, many people have been trying to persuade me, and some people close to me were even anxious, thinking that I should not put too much effort into

Goguryeo. In their opinion, I should develop the Youyun states. As for Goguryeo, I just need to use strong means to control it."

"They believe that Youyun and Goguryeo should be divided into two levels: one is the master and the other is the slave. The Youyun states are the masters and Goguryeo is the slave. They advised me to work hard to develop Youzhou, because that is where I started.

Land. As for Goguryeo, it is regarded as an area where blood can be drawn..."

"For example, Youyun's side is short of money, and they asked me to raise taxes from Goguryeo."

"For example, if Youyun wants resources, they ask me to transfer them from Goguryeo."

"Goguryeo is responsible for growing grain, mining, collecting herbs, and logging. In short, all resources must be transferred to Youyun's side as much as possible. As the head of the family, Youyun can get better and better through this blood-sucking method.

Fat."

Gu Tianya's words made An Yan feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

The Goguryeo girl said with a trembling tone and a look of horror on her face: "If this is really the case, Goguryeo will gradually die."

Gu Tianya smiled slightly and said, "But Youyun will get richer and richer, right?"

An Yanbing forced herself to purse her lips and said with fear: "Drain my blood from Goguryeo to make the Youyun states rich. Although this little girl feels sad, I know that this is a good strategy for the Han people. Therefore, those people's suggestions

It’s not wrong.”

Gu Tianya nodded and suddenly said: "However, I did not adopt this suggestion."

An Yanbing was startled.

But he saw Gu Tianya holding his hands and raising his head, looking at the stars in the sky like water, and said slowly: "On the contrary, I am drawing Youyun's blood to make up for Goguryeo."

He paused for a moment and then said: "For example, in the past six months, I have allocated millions of grains. As long as the Goguryeo people are willing to eat, I have been asking officials to give porridge. Another example is, grain and cloth, farm tools and books, all the people's livelihood

I will do my best to allocate what I need here..."

"Those close to me all think that I was fooled by Yeon Gaesumun, but few people know that this was actually my own willing choice."

"The reason is simple. I regard this land as my own territory."

"As for Yeon Gae So-moon's thoughts, I could see through it from the beginning. Although I saw through it, I didn't expose it. Instead, I followed the trend. I responded every time he sent out an application."

Gu Tianya smiled as he spoke, looked at An Yanbing and asked, "Miss An, guess why I deliberately cooperated with Yuan Gaisuwen?"

An Yanbing was very smart. She thought for a moment before answering, and said softly: "Because his intentions are all under your control, his request for supplies every time is exactly what you want, right?"

"Of course."

Gu Tianya laughed loudly, suddenly changed the subject, and said leisurely: "In the war half a year ago, Yeon Gaesuwen, as the most powerful minister of Goguryeo, led dozens of powerful families to rebel against the enemy. Some of them opened the city and dedicated their gates.

, some acted as internal agents, and even directly dispatched troops to attack you Goguryeo people with swords and spears."

"It is precisely because of their betrayal and surrender that we Han people will win extremely quickly in that battle, just like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, wiping out your entire Goguryeo army."

"However, the power of the Yeon Gaesumun family has not diminished at all. The dozens of powerful families who followed him and rebelled have not been affected at all. They even took the opportunity to grow bigger, and the family power has reached a higher level."

"And after that battle, I made Yeon Gaesumun the governor-general, and each of the dozens of wealthy families had someone serve as an official. Then I formulated a policy for Liao people to govern Liao, and encouraged them to select Goguryeo talents...

...In fact, I have already predicted that it is impossible for them to select talents, and all positions involving important departments will be occupied by their cronies."

"I have always allowed all this to happen. I have never refused a single offer. I have approved all the official positions that came to me."

An Yanbing's eyes sparkled, as if she had thought of a possibility, and she subconsciously said: "Are you conniving? No, you are fishing for money! Those official positions are bait, and just sitting back and watching their family's power grow is also bait, as well as you

Taking advantage of the situation and approving Yeon Gaesomun's material aid application, paying so much material is also a bait, right?"

Gu Tianya nodded and said: "People like Yeon Gaesumun are out-and-out tycoons. Since ancient times, tycoons are the first to know how to be forbearing. And the dozens of Goguryeo wealthy families also have the ability to forbear."

Senior...how can this be done? If they keep hiding it, won’t it be a hidden danger?"

An Yanbing took a deep breath and said, "But these people are many smart people. It is said that Yuan Gaisuwen is particularly shrewd. Could it be that they can't see your intentions?"

"Of course I can see it, but so what?"

Gu Tianya smiled slightly and said: "When the benefits reach a certain level, greed will overwhelm people's shrewdness. Whether it is Yeon Gaesumun or those Goguryeo powerful people, when I approve their requests time and time again,

Materials have been allocated again and again, and with the huge benefits invested, their vigilance has turned into self-confidence."

"For example, this time, they applied for aid again. They asked for five million shi of food, but Zhao Si, my subordinate, retorted angrily. Although he retorted five million, he agreed to one million. For them,

Zhao Si’s concession is my concession…”

"In the past, they would be vigilant and act with caution. However, my repeated concessions convinced them that I paid too much attention to Goguryeo."

"And in fact, I do value Goguryeo. So, both of us think this is reasonable."

Gu Tianya paused at this point and said jokingly: "I can even guess that Yuan Gaisuwen will be proud of it afterwards. Maybe he will say: This is a conspiracy that Gu Tianya cannot oppose."

An Yanbing's eyes sparkled, and she finally decided not to listen to the riddles anymore, and asked softly: "What is your final intention? Do you want to catch them all in one fell swoop?"

Unexpectedly, Gu Tianya did not admit it, but let out a leisurely breath.

He seemed to be reciting a set of data, and as if he was confiding a big secret that had been pressed in his heart for a long time, he said slowly: "Six months ago, the first aid was sent to Goguryeo, with food reaching 500,000 dan and cloth and clothing 200,000 dan.

Che, Yeon Gaesumun led a large number of officials to personally distribute this batch of supplies... That batch of supplies all went into the hands of the people of Goguryeo."

An Yanbing knew there was more to come, so she listened quietly without interrupting.

Sure enough, Gu Tianya continued: "Every month since then, Youyun has delivered supplies, such as the second batch five months ago, which was also five hundred thousand shi of food, and the third batch four months ago.

The number of batches increased to 600,000 shi, then the fourth batch, the fifth batch, the sixth batch..."

"As time goes by, the amount of materials delivered is increasing. However, the amount has increased, but less has been distributed to the people of Goguryeo."

"When the second batch of supplies arrived, Yeon Gaesoo Moon tentatively took away a small amount. When the third batch arrived, a larger amount was taken away secretly."

"Gradually, they became bolder and bolder, and the amount of supplies they applied for became larger, but the amount distributed became smaller. And the supplies that were secretly stolen continued to go to certain places."

"They're raising rebels!"

When Gu Tianya said this, a sneer finally appeared on his face, and he said word for word: "In half a year, I spent a lot of materials and wealth worth tens of millions of dollars, which is enough to buy their lives."

Rebels should be killed.

unambiguous evidence.

An Yanbing's expression turned into shock. She finally understood Gu Tianya's intention. The Goguryeo girl took a deep breath and spoke with difficulty after a long time: "So you really want to catch them all in one fell swoop."

She paused as she spoke, and said pitifully: "So many forbearing people, and even the most powerful Yeongae family in Goguryeo, personally handed the evidence of the crime to you."

Gu Tianya slowly exhaled and said calmly: "The Goguryeo incident has been dragging on for half a year, and I don't want to continue with them. After these hidden dangers are eliminated, this land will truly belong to me."

As he spoke, he looked at An Yanbing, his tone suddenly became sincere, and said: "Miss An, believe it or not, I will lead the Goguryeo people to live a good life... Only a person like me can make you live a good life.
