Seeing Zheng Rentai feels depressed and feels depressed.

Li Jiancheng sighed long and long.

Before he could speak, Chen Ying took a step forward and pointed at Zheng Rentai and said, "Zheng Rentai, you are a smart person, don't do stupid things!"

"The success and defeat of the enemy, this day... I had already expected it!" After saying that, Zheng Rentai lowered his head and kept silent.

Chen Ying turned to Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, please go back to the palace to rest first!"

Li Jiancheng was silent for a moment and said with a pale face: "Everyone counts, don't let it go!"

The soil has three parts, let alone a person.

Zheng Rentai and others have touched Li Jiancheng's bottom line.

Li Jiancheng turned around and returned to the palace.

Fang Xuanling and Wei Zhengze looked at Chen Ying with a look of hope and said, "General Chen, what do you think about this matter?"

All dynasties have been extremely strict in handling rebellion.

A conclusive treason like Zheng Rentai, even if the nine clans are not killed, it will be necessary to break the three clans. Zheng Rentai is not willing to die, but these 100,000 people are only 100,000 families. It is easy to cut off the heads, but it is difficult to grow back.

The population is a flaw of the Tang Dynasty. Now the territory of the Tang Dynasty is very wide, three points larger than the Celestial Empire in later generations. The key is that the population is only 30 million. Not to mention remote areas, even Henan and Hebei, which were originally densely populated in history, are now seriously short of people.

Wei Zheng didn't want to kill so many people. The key is that all of these people have violated the law. If they don't deal with it, what is the majesty of the court?

Chen Ying smiled and said, "Your Majesty once said that if you surrender, will Xuancheng want to ruin your Majesty's trust?"

When Wei Zheng heard this, he pretended to realize it and said, "Xuancheng understands!"

Chen Ying did not point out the little Jiujiu in Wei Zheng's heart. Everyone said that Wei Zheng was not afraid of death. In fact, this was nonsense. He didn't show up at the critical moment just to pick himself out. Now that Chen Ying spoke, someone would be able to block the thunder.

Of course, Chen Ying is willing to bear this responsibility.

For Chen Ying, these responsibilities are not even tickling.

Chen Ying looked at the surrendered soldiers kneeling on the ground with a gloomy face and said, "You are so angry that you are so cruel and unpardoned. Their crimes should be punished."

Hearing this, the surrendered soldier who was originally kneeling on the ground was so scared that he was shaking and his body trembled like a sieve. After all, ants are alive, let alone humans?

The surrendered soldiers shouted at the sky and robbed the earth and said, "Give up your life... I am unfair..."

Chen Ying's sneer became stronger and stronger, and he said coldly: "Your Majesty is kind and kind. He can't bear to wait for your wife to separate, so he will leave the matter with one side. However, death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped. From today on, you will be all sent to Anxi, and you will be pardoned within ten years. Ten years later, you will be able to observe the future!"

The surrendered soldiers then breathed a sigh of relief.

Can live.

As long as you don’t die, it’s good. Although Anxi is a little more bitter and winter is getting colder, you can get through it with gritting your teeth.

In fact, Chen Ying's ultimate goal was to carry out large-scale immigration. However, the local plot of the Tang people was too serious. No matter how temptation it was, they were unwilling to leave their hometown.

Although there are many people who come to Anxi, those who are truly willing to settle down in Anxi'an are actually less than one. Just like migrant workers in later generations who go to the city, as long as they make money from their pockets, they will definitely return to their hometowns.

Now, 100,000 private soldiers of aristocratic families, only 100,000 families and 500,000 or 600,000 people can migrate out of Guanzhong. No matter what, this is profitable.

Chen Ying ordered these surrendered soldiers to form a team of 100 people and ten teams as towns. Each town sent another regiment to escort them all to the Duobao Mountain copper mine. Although a large number of war slaves in Anxi were almost all thrown into Duobao Mountain to dig copper mines, there was still a huge shortage of manpower. After these ten thousand households migrated, they could spread more than 100 towns of all sizes outside Duobao Mountain to form self-sufficiency in Duobao Mountain.

...

In the Heavenly Prison of Dali Temple, Li Anyan came to Wang Renbiao's cell again.

Wang Renbiao, who was covered in blood, woke up. He kicked his scarlet eyes and looked at Li Anyan with gritted teeth and cursed: "Haog, if you want to kill and cut, you will be punished!"

An Yanyan said with a smile on his face: "Have you asked clearly?"

The head of the Ti Lao beside him bowed and said, "You have reported it to the great general. Especially this kid, he even explained the bedwetting when he was a child."

Li Anyan said with a smile: "Since you have told me, why are you still acting as a tough guy?"

Wang Renbiao spat, turned his head and ignored Li Anyan.

But Li Anyan continued: "A real tough guy, I have seen it. He is a real tough guy, and he never admits his coward until he dies. Who are you?"

An Yanyan did not say nonsense to Wang Ren. He took the confession of the chief of the prison and turned back to Tai Chi Palace.

...

Li Jiancheng returned to Tai Chi Palace and was about to go to bed. Unexpectedly, Li Anyan came. He took Wang Renbiao's confession and looked at one familiar name after another, Li Jiancheng's face twitched.

He roared to the sky, "Why... Why, I treat them well, why do they treat them like this!"

At this moment, a feeling of betrayal came to Li Jiancheng's heart.

Especially Wen Daya.

Wen Daya is an old acquaintance of Li Jiancheng and has a good relationship. On the eve of Li Yuan's rebellion, Wen Daya, who returned to his hometown due to his father's death, was recruited by Li Yuan as the General's Office to join the army, and specially organized him to take charge of the key points. The following year (618), Li Yuan proclaimed himself emperor and ordered him to be the Minister of the Yellow Sect. He was deeply trusted by Li Yuan.

Li Yuan once said gratefully, "I will get up to Jinyang and be your family."

Li Shimin and his brother Li Jiancheng fought fiercely for the throne. Li Shimin recommended Wen Daya to go out to Luoyang, thinking that he would respond externally. As a die-hard clan of Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng ignored Wen Daya and promoted him to the Minister of Rites and was granted Duke Li.

Unexpectedly, Wen Daya actually ran around and spared no effort to overthrow Li Jiancheng.

Li Jiancheng threw the list in front of Li Anyan and shouted: "Catch all these wolf-hearted beasts, and the three departments will review it!"

Li Anyan picked up his confession and said, "I am following the order!"

Then, the left-level guards of the brigade followed Li Anyan's Tai Chi Palace and arrested people according to the list.

Li Jiancheng was really angry, and even the Zheng family in Xingyang issued an order to search the house.

Perhaps because of the reason why Zheng Guanyin was taken into consideration, the fat man in Zheng's house was found on Chen Ying's head.

Seeing that the sky was getting bright, Chen Ying was not willing to rest. He was igniting his troops and heading towards Xingyang.

Three thousand cavalrymen, very fast.

On the evening of the third day, we arrived straight to Xingyang.

Chen Ying did not believe that Zheng would take risks. He came to Zheng's ancestral home without arriving all the way.

Three thousand soldiers surrounded the Zheng family's mansion, and then rushed in and searched the house.

...

Although Chen Ying was rich enough to rival a country and had millions of dollars in his family, he was still surprised to speak when he saw the treasury of Zheng's family in Xingyang.

Gorgeous and exquisite, golden gold jewelry, silver winter melon weighing hundreds of kilograms, copper pillars cast from thousands of kilograms of brass, boxes of jewelry... This place is even wider than the national treasury!

It took Chen Ying a long time to come back from his dizziness and stroked a giant silver winter melon, saying with emotion: "It's hard to imagine that the Zheng family in Xingyang has just plundered so many treasures!"

A Zheng family servant asked blankly: "Zheng is so rich, why can't we have enough food and wear a decent dress?"

Chen Ying sighed, and he remembered a joke from later generations. The poor are cautious and generous, while the rich are open and stingy.

The Zheng family in Xingyang controls tens of millions of hectares of fertile land in Henan and tens of thousands of tenants, but they do not give back to society.

In fact, China has been rich throughout the dynasties, but having money in China does not mean that the court has money.

For example, in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, any family of aristocratic families could be rich or powerful. Just like during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, none of the four major families, Xi, Huan, Xie and Liu, who held the military power of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, rely on the court's financial allocation to support the army. They all rely on the power and money of the family.

Throughout the dynasties, wealthy businessmen, gentry and officials would rather melt money into silver melon than take it out and pay a little tax. Ningyuan's family's grain became mild and its money was rusted than donate it to the country.

Chen Huili shot a silver winter melon, feeling amused. During the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty was actually not short of money, especially inheriting the huge inheritance of the Sui Dynasty. The Li Dynasty obtained immeasurable wealth. Shandong's seven sects and five hopes were given out casually, which was equivalent to the eight billion yuan of later generations.

Could it be that the Sui Dynasty was poor?

In the early days of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the defeat of 100,000 troops was fought twice. From the founding of the country to the ninth year of Wude, the loss of no less than 500,000 troops alone. Not to mention the number of troops, even the armor was as high as millions.

However, the finances of the Tang Dynasty were always in full bloom.

Aristocratic families do not have to pay taxes, officials do not have to pay taxes, and gentry do not have to pay taxes. As long as the merchants who have made a lot of wealth are in the name of aristocratic families, they do not have to pay taxes.

All taxes fall on the common people, and this is a big source of taxation for people from the court, such as vassal kings, officials, and gentry. According to the Wude law, people with titles are exempt from taxes. Therefore, whenever soldiers obtain military merits or become officials, many people will inevitably come to offer land and property. If they don’t pay taxes, they will naturally not have to pay taxes. The vassal kings and officials do not pay taxes. Both are justified. Who dares to collect their taxes? In this way, the tax sources of the court have been sharply reduced, and they can only increase taxes desperately on less and less fields. It is difficult to think of any trouble.

So, where did this huge amount of money go?

Hidden in the cellar.

There was no industry, not even securities, stocks, and the old tradition of the Chinese people who have been willing to save since ancient times, so they could not spend all the money they earned, so they naturally hid in the cellar. Those rich families were afraid of being patronized by little thieves, so they melted the silver into silver winter melon weighing hundreds of kilograms. Even the big men could not move it, so naturally no one could steal it.

Then, the money disappeared from the market and disappeared. It was not until the crisis came and the whole country was in panic that the money would flow out of the cellar and pour into the market to desperately purchase food, cloth and other daily necessities, causing soaring prices and ultimately accelerating the collapse of the entire country...

There is no way, a country's money will always be several times more than supplies. If all of this money flows into the market to purchase goods, it will become inevitable that prices will be out of control.

Chen Ying did not fully count that the Zheng family in Xingyang was about 3.8 million guan. Once this money was put into the market, the Tang Dynasty's economic system would collapse.
