Gao Shi walked to Ge Shuhan's side and whispered a few words in his ear.
After hearing this, Ge Shuhan frowned and said: "Secretary Gao has just found out that Chen Yike is not the only one who surrendered to the enemy and treason. Just now I was wondering, what capital and courage does he, a small deputy guard of Shanzhou, have to fight against
After negotiating with Tubo, it turns out that there is a noble family hidden behind him!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone here sighed. We all come from famous families. If Ge Shuhan said this, wouldn't everyone be suspected?
Ge Shuhan glanced at the people in the audience and said coldly: "Of course, I haven't found out who this traitorous family is yet, but I believe the truth will come to light soon!" After saying that, Ge Shuhan rushed up to Shidou.
nodded.
Gao Shi bowed his hands to everyone present and said: "That's what Gao thinks. Now the battle situation in Longyou is tight, and the court's military rations are in short supply. I discussed with Marshal Ge Shuhan for a while and wanted to collect military rations from you at market prices.
, I wonder what you guys think?"
This is really a stone that stirs up a thousand waves. Representatives of various families in Longyou are whispering to each other and talking about it. Which of the Longyou Wei family, Hedong Pei family, Luzhou Chen family, and Ruyang Chai family is not the richest?
Although the ancestral halls of some wealthy families are not located in Shanzhou, it does not mean that they have no say and influence in Longyou. Longyou is located at the throat of the Tang Dynasty, connecting Anxi to the west and Guan Nei to the east, which is the Silk Road
The only way to go, how could they not manage it carefully?
Although the children of aristocratic families are ashamed of being in business, they all privately own a large number of merchants and warehouses. The reason is simple. A big family will naturally have a lot of expenses. Without a stable source of income, how can they support their flourishing descendants?
pulse?
However, these tasks mostly fell on the descendants of common people, who were destined to have no chance of official career because of their humble origins. In order to increase their voice in the family, they had to endure hardships and travel to various places to raise money and collect rent for the family.
And this prosperous and prosperous Shanzhou City has naturally become the object of competition and grabbing by all the famous families. It doesn't matter what is right or wrong, it is just based on interests.
Chai Rong, the representative of the Ruyang Chai family in Longyou complained: "There is nothing wrong with the army collecting military rations, but it is purchased at market price. How to calculate the price? I need to give an explanation, right?"
Chen Yudao, the third son of the Chen family in Luzhou, shook his head and said: "Besides, the army also has to tell us how much it will collect, so we can prepare as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes." Everyone sighed, and the audience was noisy and noisy, like a market.
Ge Shuhan felt a little irritated. Usually, there were five or six of these famous disciples, and they were well-educated and sensible. But when it came time for them to bleed, they would start pretending to be crazy and act foolishly, and they would always compare every penny and penny. They thought it was a big cancer!
"That's enough! From tomorrow on, I will order people to go to your mansion to collect grain. As much as you collect, it will all be considered at par! Those who refuse to sell grain or sell less grain will be punished as treason and treason!"
He was really angry and yelled.
When he drank like this, everyone who was complaining shut their mouths for a moment and turned their attention to Wei Jianrui, the head of the Wei family.
Among the aristocratic families present, only the Wei family is the leader. Moreover, this is Longyou, the place where the Wei family started. If Wei Jianrui's status as the head of the family cannot suppress Ge Shuhan, then everyone really has to.
He was bleeding heavily and he was in trouble.
Wei Jianrui is about forty years old. His face is extremely delicate and fair. He has a short beard between his chin and his demeanor is elegant and has the demeanor of a celebrity.
At this moment, when he saw everyone looking at him, he felt relieved.
He cleared his throat and said to his brother Shu Han: "When the country is in crisis, we, as a wealthy family, should give our full support. But after all, everyone earns their money and food with their own hands. If we buy them all at a fair price, it will be difficult to convince the public. No.
If the general levies taxes in different levels according to each family's grain storage situation, those with more will be taxed more, and those with less will be less contended, then everyone will be convinced."
What he said was neither humble nor arrogant, and every sentence was reasonable, which won unanimous praise from everyone present!
Since Wei Jianrui has spoken out to this extent, his brother Shuhan should not be too tough. Those common people from small families are just rotten fish and shrimps. His brother Shuhan can ignore them, but Longyou Wei
He dared not deny the face of the head of the family. Although recently the Wei family's influence in the court was repeatedly suppressed by the saints because of the East Palace, but as the saying goes, a hundred-footed insect will not die even if it dies. Wei's disciples and old friends are all over the world, and his brother
Shu Han didn't want to be remembered and stabbed in the back. (Note 1) What's more, the saint is old now, and his physical strength is getting weaker day by day. To be disrespectful, he may not be able to drive to Hexi one day.
When the prince ascends the throne, will he not reuse members of the Wei family? His brother Shu Han would not dare to use his own wealth and life as a barrier to attack the Wei family!
Ge Shuhan laughed loudly and said: "I am being reckless. Well, what Wei Shijun said makes sense. I will gather people and prepare to do it!"
Wei Jianrui nodded to his brother Shuhan as a thank you.
Although the children of the aristocratic families felt aggrieved, after all, they had saved part of their food, so they didn't say anything more.
Ge Shuhan achieved his goal, and he raised his glass to Song Hun on the right with great satisfaction and drank it in one gulp.
Song Hun's heart sank and he smiled bitterly. The banquet designed to cleanse him from the dust was really wonderful. First, he eliminated dissidents in the name of catching spies and killed people to establish his authority. Then he used his remaining power to forcefully collect military rations from various aristocratic families. In an instant,
The problem of food was solved. In normal times, these children of the aristocratic family may not take his brother Shuhan's orders seriously, but at this time, a gentle corpse is placed in front of them, and the steelyard in the hearts of even the most determined people will be shaken.
This barbarian is quite interesting. Maybe he can really create extraordinary achievements for Your Majesty!
Song Hun thought as he stroked his beard lightly.
...
"Brother Kuo'er, Marshal Shu Han was so powerful just now. He conquered many aristocratic families in just one Hongmen Banquet!" Zhang Yanji waved his fist, full of admiration.
"Oh, you have to use an iron hand to run the army. If you use some strategies at the right time, you will get unexpected gains." In fact, Li Kuo knew these strategies well. When he was a child, his grandfather often instilled in him the principles of officialdom.
These include how to deal with all kinds of people. When dealing with superiors, you must be humble but not humble; when dealing with subordinates, you must be authoritative without losing kindness; with gentlemen, you must have deep friendships but not always accompany them; with villains, you must be
Staying away but unable to speak clearly...
There is so much knowledge in the officialdom that one can feel numb and paralyzed. Even a great minister like Grandpa, was framed by the traitor Li Linfu in the end and lost everything.
Therefore, the young man was very resistant to these things, not because he didn't know it, but because he didn't want to uncover the long-healed scars on the wound.
"Those turtles and grandsons enjoy all the wealth and honor on weekdays, but when they need their help, they all tighten their pockets!" Dou Qing gritted his teeth and scolded. He was born in a humble background, so many of his military exploits have been recorded.
On the body of Pao Ze, who has a background. Most of those people are just useless people waiting to die. They can pick up things that others may not be able to get in their lifetime by relying on the shadow of their ancestors. How can they not be annoying?
?These aristocratic families are nothing more than lice in their crotches! Crush them to death sooner, and the world will be cleaner! They not only suck the blood of the poor, but also the vitality and youth of the country!
"Don't beat me to death with a stick, not everyone is as hopeless as you said!" Zhang Yanji puffed up his chest.
Only then did Dou Qing realize that Zhang Yanji was sitting next to him, and he squeezed his lips and smiled awkwardly.
"They are so unwilling to sell corn, but because they want to hoard rice to sell it at a high price?" Li Kuo pointed out the key to the problem. It is the nature of businessmen to hoard goods in strange places, but they are too confused.
"Damn it! The Captain didn't say anything, but my old Dou didn't expect it. These parasites are really bastards, they actually want to enrich the country!" Dou Qing's anger that he had finally suppressed surged up again,
He yelled, "These fools, they have never seen what the Tubo people are like. If the Tubo people really take over Longyou and kill them all the way, they will definitely leave no one behind! It doesn't matter whether you are a son of a noble family or a poor man, hahaha
, wasn’t he disemboweled and had his head cut off?” (Note 2)
Zhang Yanji moved to the side angrily, raised his jade cup and drank Gaochang wine in a muffled voice.
At this time, a row of singing girls had already entered the middle of the hall, and the silver zither and sandalwood boards were ringing. The birds and birds were fragrant, but they were full of youth.
But there seems to be something missing in the peace and happiness of this sect. The bright moon reflects on the face, the music and music are intoxicating, and the beauty is like a song, but it is not as happy as starting a career with a sword and a spear.
"The so-called aristocratic families are just old trees with rotten roots. They look tall and strong on the surface, but when the wind blows one day, they will immediately fall over and bend."
Just like the delicate flowers and plants in the deep palace that have been carefully watered and cared for, without the soil that provides them with nutrients, they are nothing, nothing!
Note 1: You may have a hard time imagining how powerful Webster is. According to statistics, in the Tang Dynasty, there were fourteen prime ministers from Webster alone. Look at Empress Wei, Princess Anle, and the Wei Jian case, maybe you can see this.
A spot.
Note 2: This is real history. After the Shi Rebellion broke out, the Tang Dynasty mobilized elite troops from Hexi, Longyou, and the Western Regions to assist the east. Tubo took advantage of the opportunity and entered, but the local defenders were unable to support it.
The land was occupied by Tubo one after another. In October of the first year of Guangde (763), Tubo used Tuyuhun and Dangxiang's 200,000 troops to advance straight into Chang'an and approached Chang'an. Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty left Shaanxi in a hurry, and the Tubo army occupied Chang'an.
ps: I need to explain one thing about this paragraph. Tubo’s infringement on the Central Plains Dynasty was no less than that of the Anshi rebels! Thirteen states in the eastern section of Longyou Road all fell into the hands of Tubo. What would the Tang people there think? 1
A kind of sadness like "the remaining people's tears are all in the dust"!
