Chapter 316 King Qin’s IOU
Li Song seized this point and sometimes put a high hat on Xiao Yuan, sometimes using language skills. In short, it was a clever tongue.
Previously, the people came to argue that they were not educated and didn’t know what to say. But now, the Changning County Magistrate is obviously a knowledgeable person, and he also knows very well what the key is.
Xiao Yuan began to consider the consequences of this matter because of something else.
There is no doubt that if he did not admit this fault, he would definitely be written by some good literati, and then belittled the Qin State.
Another more important point is that after conquering Jin territory, he needed the people here.
Thinking of this, he squinted his eyes slightly, then looked at Li Song and said, "You have said so much. I will recognize you for the time being. Let's just say it."
Li Song thought for a while and said, "In terms of Changning's grain production, in previous years, the yield per mu of the people was more than four stones, and 1,300 mu was about 5,200 stones. Without these grains, the people could not live. The king should have done it.
compensation."
At that time, one stone was about 110 kilograms now, and 5,200 kilograms were about 570,000 kilograms.
After hearing this, Xiao Yuan immediately said angrily: "Bold! It's so unreasonable to say that Changning's yield is so high!"
Li Song said: "Your Highness calmed down. As the magistrate of Changning County, you can understand the cultivation and grain production in the county. And every sentence is true, how dare you deceive Your Highness?"
"You!" Xiao Yuan was so angry that he couldn't help but look at Su Yi.
Seeing this, the latter hurriedly came over and said with his ears: "King, this person is unwilling to mess with. It is not easy for our army to store grain. How can we pay them extra for food and grass? The king doesn't have to pay attention to it. If this person dares to get involved, he will be killed.
That's..."
"Oh, it's a troublesome thing." Xiao Yuan whispered helplessly.
After pausing, he said to Li Song again: "In this way, let's forget about the grain and grass. Change the yield per mu to silver. I can make corresponding compensation for this and you can appease the people of Changning."
Li Song nodded and said, "I have no objection to the money if I change it to money. How much is your highness going to pay?"
"Of course, it is calculated based on the market price of grain." Xiao Yuan said directly.
This was already very good, but Li Song was dissatisfied and immediately said, "No, no, no, Your Highness is such a bad word. After the torrents, more than 1,300 acres of fertile land were all destroyed, not just
The surface loss, these fields can no longer be called fertile fields. If you want to cultivate the next year, you still need to reclaim it. Therefore, I believe that, according to the general plan, Your Highness should give this number of 100,000 taels of silver."
"What did you say!" Xiao Yuan was furious and slapped the handsome case and said, "Little County Magistrate, you are so bold! How dare you blackmail me this king!?"
One hundred thousand taels of silver are of course nothing to a king. Even if Qin is poor, this little money is still a small matter. Xiao Yuan's anger does not lie in this.
With a bang, Li Song's body trembled, and he was so scared that he knelt on the ground, plucked his courage and said tremblingly: "Your Highness, how dare you joke in front of the king? These are all calculated by the destruction of fertile fields.
ah……"
"It's outrageous!" Xiao Yuan was so angry that he stood up and began to pace back and forth, then looked at Su Yi: "Is there any money in the army?"
"King, military expenditure is already insufficient." Su Yi returned.
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan took a deep breath, paused, stopped again, looked at Li Song and said, "No matter what, it is true that the people's fertile land was destroyed, and I will not shirk responsibility. In this way, 100,000 taels of silver,
Qin State can agree that in the future, someone will be sent to Changning and divided among the people. You can go back first."
"This..." Li Song swallowed, looked at Xiao Yuan carefully, and said, "But your Highness, it's no point to say it..."
"You are bold!" Xiao Yuan couldn't help it anymore, and his voice became a little colder: "How can I joke with the king of my country?"
"This, I am here alone today. If your highness refuses to admit this after this matter, how can I explain to the people of Changning?" Li Song said anxiously.
"Then what do you want!" Xiao Yuan asked angrily.
"If possible, your highness is best... it is best to write a document, and everyone in the world believes it," said Li Song.
"Okay, you magistrate of Changning!" Xiao Yuan pointed at him in anger.
At this time, the generals in the tent couldn't help it, and Peng Shuang said directly: "King, why are you talking so much nonsense with this dog official? In the eyes of the last general, he dragged it down and cut it down!"
"Yes! The little county magistrate dared to demand the king repeatedly, which is really rude!"
"My king is the king of a country and a small county magistrate. Dare to argue the truth!? It's extremely ridiculous! Believe it or not and slaughter Changning immediately!"
The Qin generals stared at Li Song one after another, and many people even held the hilt of the sword at their waists with their hands, as if they were drawing their swords at any time.
Seeing this, Li Song was so heart-stirring that he was in his throat, and he immediately shouted: "Your Highness cannot kill me! I am just representing the people of Changning. To be honest, with your highness's mind, you will not vent your anger on me...
”
"Don't wear a tall hat!" Xiao Yuan's anger remained unrelenting.
But even though he said that, after calming down a little, he still shouted: "Get the pen and ink!"
"King..." All the generals showed incredible expressions. Is this king really ready to agree to the magistrate of Changning County?
Xiao Yuan raised his hand slightly and stopped the generals.
He was also very depressed, but this matter still needs to be dealt with.
After the soldiers brought the pen and ink, Xiao Yuan also glared at Li Song fiercely, then he picked up the pen and dipped it ink and started writing.
After he finished writing, he threw the silk book in front of Li Song in anger.
The latter hurriedly bent over and picked it up. After expanding it and looking carefully, he was also happy to behave.
The silk book states that the Qin army attacked Jin and accidentally destroyed the fertile land of the people of Changning. Qin State assumed this responsibility and would later 100,000 taels of silver to appease the people of Changning.
The signature is King Xiao Yuan of Qin.
This was written by Qin Jun. Li Song regarded it as a treasure. He quickly folded it carefully and put it in his arms. Then he knelt on the ground: "Since that's the case, I'll thank the people of Changning for the great kindness of His Highness, so I won't disturb His Highness,
Take your leave first, take your leave first..."
After he gave his salute, he hurriedly left, not daring to stay, as if he was afraid that Xiao Yuan would regret it.
Seeing this, the generals in the tent were so angry that their teeth were itchy, but Xiao Yuan had no orders and people could not stop them.
Li Song seemed to have picked up a bargain at the edge of a knife, and his appearance was no different from escaping.
Seeing him run away, Peng Shuang said in confusion: "Master, this..."
"Forget it." Xiao Yuan sighed lightly and said, "For the future governance of Jin territory, 100,000 taels of silver is worth it. Although this Changning County Magistrate is really hateful, he will go."
This is really a unreasonable king. Who would have done this in the world? I am afraid that in anger, Li Song would have been killed long ago.
