"Originally, the Lone King wanted to ask whether you want to live or die. Now it seems that there is no need to ask this question anymore. So, I believe everyone is already very clear about what you should do next."

All the people present were famous and famous figures in Qinzhou City, and none of them were stupid. Of course they understood what Li Ye said. After all, it was nothing more than asking for money and food. This was the meaning of the question, otherwise the military disaster would not be called military disaster.

Wherever the army goes, the serious plants and trees do not grow, and the better ones must also scrape the people with a layer of flesh and blood. The so-called kingly troops, when they go out, often have to raise food and grass. If the army does not do production, they naturally have to ask the people for it.

Li Ye’s meaning is very clear. They have to pay money, grain and labor. Not only that, from now on, the government troops will send troops north to continue to attack Hedong, and Qinzhou will also continue to supply grain and grass to ensure logistics.

However, after hearing Li Ye's words, the officials and gentry not only did not resist and object, but also breathed a sigh of relief, with a look much more relaxed. It was as if Li Ye asked them for money and food, not their losses, but their honor.

"The government army conquers the rebels, and the soldiers fight bloody battles on the battlefield. As Tang ministers and people, we should raise food and fodder for the army!" The governor of Qinzhou immediately expressed his opinion on behalf of everyone, "No matter how much money and food your highness wants, as long as we give a number, we will collect it immediately, and ensure that the army will not miss the war period!"

The governor of Qinzhou was sincere and eager to speak, and he did not leave any room for himself. He could not have retreated at all. If Li Ye opened his mouth wide, they would not have been able to not have much bleeding.

However, none of the officials and the gentry opposed it, and they all agreed. Many people spoke passionately, saying that they were not afraid of destroying their families to relieve the difficulties for the sake of the country of the Tang Dynasty.

Even with Li Ye's insight and state of mind, when he suddenly saw everyone's attitude, he couldn't help but have a thought flashed through his mind: Are these people all 100% loyal ministers of my Tang Dynasty?

Of course not.

Li Ye quickly reacted.

The official army led by the Pinglu Army came to Hedong under the banner of seeking rebellion. Li Keyong was a rebel who disrespected the imperial court's orders and held his own troops and had bad intentions. Whether people in the world believe this statement or not, Li Ye and his soldiers must believe it.

Since Li Keyong was a rebel traitor in the court, the officials and soldiers of Qinzhou City who helped him resist the official army were naturally also guilty. Whether it was the soldiers of Hedong or the officials and civilians of Qinzhou, they might not agree with this statement before, but now that the city of Qinzhou is broken, they must agree with it even if they do not agree with it.

Because now everything is up to Li Ye.

As a guilty person who was defeated, if Li Ye wanted to confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans, facing hundreds of thousands of troops and countless great monks above the realm, they had no room for resistance.

And Li Ye also has reasons and possibilities for doing so.

The reason is that Li Ye has done this in order to intimidate other prefectures and counties in Hedong; the possibility is that Li Ye had already done this when he dealt with Wei Bo before. The Wei Bo Jiedushi was treated like this by him.

If a guilty person wants to survive and to maintain his position, he must commit crimes and make meritorious service and pay the price.

Li Ye gave food and fodder to the army.

Of course, Qinzhou officials and the great families accepted it happily. No matter how much Li Ye wanted, even if they couldn't take it out themselves, they would go to the people to "borrow it".

As long as you can survive and save your life, this is a supreme victory for these Qinzhou powerful people. As for the slightest price you need to pay, it is not worthy of the truth.

Some officials and the heads of large clans have made up their minds at this time and will definitely perform well later, bear more food and fodder share, and leave a good impression in front of Li Ye. Maybe there may be a blessing in the future.

As for the extra share of food and fodder, it is naturally distributed to the people. As the powerful and wealthy people in Qinzhou, who has no fertile land in his name or tens of thousands of tens of thousands of tens of thousands of tens of farmers?

As for officials, it is easier to deal with it. After going down, you can just set up a name to collect taxes. For example, the tax on raising ducks, house repairs, or even walking taxes - you have to pay money when walking on the official road and charge according to the distance you walk. This way you will not have to worry about not being able to accumulate money. This is how the so-called harsh taxes come from.

Li Ye glanced at everyone, and faced everyone's passionate statement, he looked as if he was aware of the fire and his expression was calm: "You are so reasonable and you are so kind. The marching chief, come and contact them about this matter."

The marching chief was Li Zhen. He stood beside him now and bowed and said, "I am accused of the order. I wonder if your highness, how much food and fodder will be sent in Qinzhou?"

Li Ye smiled: "Of course, you should do your best and you can get as much as you can."

Li Zhen respectfully said that.

Li Ye suddenly stopped smiling: "But I would like to remind you that raising food and fodder for the army is the only opportunity for you to atone for your sins. If someone forces the people to collect food at this time, this sin is no less than rebellion. You can think about it."

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

The officials who just now planned to take over the burden, then distribute the share of food and fodder to the people, or plan to make suggestions to the governor to make a name for taxation, all felt like a ray of light and restlessness. The evil thoughts that had just arisen, because of the little breath Li Ye released, disappeared and they would never dare to arise again.

When everyone came back to their senses from the cold and wanted to express their opinions again and resolutely implement Li Ye's orders, they were stunned again - where was the shadow of Li Ye on the main seat?

Of course, Li Ye would not waste too much time on this matter. He has left to do other things.

But Li Ye walked too fast, so fast that they could not catch the action, and it was like disappearing out of thin air.

The powerful Qinzhou people in the hall had the worst cultivation skills and were also qi training sorcerers. After a little thought, they couldn't help but feel awesome.

They only knew before that Li Ye had a strong cultivation level and had reached the realm of real people, and even the immortals in the Buddha realm could not do anything to them.

Now that they have experienced Li Ye's strength in person, they know that hearing is worse than seeing. They have deeply realized that Li Ye's horror is not something they can disobey.

Perhaps, King An is already the strongest person in the dynasty. Many people can't help but think.

It would be fine if this idea didn't emerge, but it occupied the minds of many people as soon as it emerged, making them unable to help but think about more.

If King An is already the strongest in the dynasty, what does that mean? Two generations of King An have become famous all over the world, and have the highest cultivation level in the world. What does this mean?

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

The governor of Qinzhou reacted first and quickly turned around and saluted to the sky above the yard: "Greatly send him to His Highness An!"

The officials and gentry in the courtyard of the hall quickly calmed down and turned around to bow, saying in unison: "Greatly send you to Your Highness, Prince An!"

......

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

There are only two topics to discuss: one is how much grain and fodder Qinzhou has to bear, and the other is how much grain and fodder each company has allocated.

Of course, the lack of discussion topics is not the real reason for the short discussion time. Both of these issues are substantial and very troublesome, which will cause a lot of struggles. In normal times, it is not easy to find a point that balances the interests of all parties. It is possible for everyone to argue for ten days and half a month.

But today is different.

Li Zhen first asked the Qinzhou Governor to find the tax records of previous years. After evaluating the financial situation of Qinzhou, he also determined the amount of grain and fodder based on the specific situation of the aristocratic families. After obtaining the specific figures of grain and fodder, the Qinzhou Governor shared the shares of each family based on his understanding of the situation of each family.

Of course, no one would object to Li Zhen’s decision, and they would not dare to do so, even if the number was very large.

What surprised Li Zhen was that after the Qinzhou governor assigned the shares of each company, each company had basically no objection. It can be seen that the Qinzhou governor was very clear about the situation of each company and had achieved "tailoring", which left no controversy among the people.

Thinking of this, Li Zhen looked at the governor of Qinzhou. This middle-aged man who was so stooled and had a flushed face when he met him before was scared by Li Ye to pee his pants. He was really worthy of admiration.

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

......

After Li Ye met Li Zhen, he continued to process official documents until late at night.

Hundreds of thousands of troops were fighting, and each soldier had to eat, drink, defecate, and there would be friction and disputes between the different vassals of each army. After siege, the soldiers would also have conflicts with local powerful people. Of course, most of the time, soldiers plundered property and women... All these things require Li Ye to deal with, so it is naturally not simple.

In addition to the army's conquest of Hedong, the military and political affairs of Pinglu will also be reported and handed over to Li Ye to decide. There are also various military and political affairs, accidents, regular reports, etc. Not only that, Li Yan will also inform Li Ye of the major plans of the court... The world's storm is also within Li Ye's attention...

In this way, Li Ye was so busy.

However, Li Ye is now a true person of Yangshen, with strong mental power. He can complete the affairs he handled one day in one hour, so he will not be buried in the sea of ​​books all day long.

Early the next morning, Li Ye had just pushed open the door when he met Song Jiao who had already walked to the threshold and raised her hand, and was about to knock on the door. The two of them hit her arms, their chests were squeezed together, and they were about to part with each other. A circle of full waves suddenly swayed in front of the beauty, which was particularly fascinating.

However, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for two people to get full of their arms. When their cultivation reaches their level, their control over their bodies has reached a height that ordinary people cannot imagine, and they can withdraw and leave at any time.

Song Jiao's exquisite and gorgeous facial features were all a little weird because of her shocked expression. She was as panicked as a caterpillar, climbing up her white and red face. But her eyes, which had just been shocked, looked at Li Ye without moving.

Li Ye did not have the slightest awareness of committing crimes, but instead laughed and joked: "Are you scared?"

The surprised and shocked beauty came back to her senses, and she was instantly angry and flew her cheeks and asked, "Did you do it on purpose?!"

Li Ye spread his hands and said innocently: "You are doubting the character of the dignified Prince of Tang!"

Song Jiao's anger and anger quickly turned into gritting teeth: "What a lie! With your cultivation level, you won't notice that I'm at the door?"
Chapter completed!
