Chapter 222 Taiyuan Family (73)
Cheng Yaojin looked like I was just for you, which made Xie Luyi almost vomit blood. What do you mean? Are you planning to make something?
"I……"
Xie Luyi's words were stopped by him again, and then Cheng Yaojin turned around and left. He had no extra time to talk nonsense with them. Otherwise, what would he do then? Could it be that the meat was roasted? Is it because I was ruining the things, I don't know what happened, but it would definitely not be a good thing. In the past, people couldn't eat enough, so eating meat was a luxury. Is it appropriate to do this?
"etc."
Wang Weiwei looked at Cheng Yaojin who was about to leave. This guy was like a crab. After entering the cave, it would be difficult for him to come out again. Since there was no way not to let the other party slap him, then let's do it.
Cheng Yaojin stopped hearing this voice, then turned around and looked at him and asked, "Do you have something to do?"
"For the safety of the Tang Dynasty and the safety of the merchants in Jinyang, our seven families are willing to offer twenty-five carts of supplies to the general to show our loyalty."
Wang Weiwei wanted to do more, but at this time there was no way, so she could only let them hand over the things honestly.
"Oh? You are really so kind?" Cheng Yaojin couldn't help asking back, as if I didn't believe you.
“Things are right behind.”
Wang Weiwei couldn't help but say, then pointed to the continuous carriage behind him, "General, can you take a look."
"good."
After Cheng Yaojin said this, he glanced at Pang Dading, and then he happily went over to check it out one car after another. Finally, he ran over to look at him and said, "General, there is food, jerky, and medicinal materials."
"Don't you have any cloth?" Cheng Yaojin seemed to have not thought of his words at all. Instead, he cared about this thing, which made Wang Weiwei's face turn dark. He wanted to tell Xie Luyi that he is like this, don't you just ignore it?
But, sometimes there are some things you can’t do, so you can only nod your head honestly, “The cloth needs some time. Now the weather is cold, and many people are buying winter clothes, and they will not be able to get them together for a while. But we will get them together soon.”
Speaking of this, he looked up at Cheng Yaojin and asked, "I just don't know when the general will send troops?"
"After the cloth arrives, I will send troops."
After saying this, Cheng Yaojin said to the person beside him, "Catch the carriage in."
Then, he disappeared, and at this time, to be honest, even the horses would not return them to them when they scratched their heads.
Wang Weiwei felt like someone had been stabbed with a knife in her heart, but he still said seriously, "Thank you, General."
After they all left, Xie Luyi looked at these things and his face trembled slightly. Unexpectedly, it succeeded. Then he shook his hand and said to Ye Piaoliu, "Go to the yamen and send someone."
Then, I didn't care about anything else and just passed by.
What else did Pang Dading's subordinates say before, and they would not let people go in, but when they saw Xie Luyi, an old man, walked in, they didn't care.
I saw the old man who seemed to die at any time and rushed into Cheng Yaojin's house. When I saw him screaming, the meat was a little muddy, I grabbed it and put it in my mouth. No matter whether the thing was hot or not, I ate it in big mouthfuls, and then picked up the wine on the table and took a sip. It looked very comfortable on his face, as if I thought this was the real life.
"What are you anxious about? Isn't this still there?" Cheng Yaojin took out a large iron sheet from one side, and then looked very clean. Then he took out a piece of grease and slowly placed it on it. After the grease had melted, he placed a large piece of meat on it and then churned it up and down. Because the meat pieces had been marinated before, there was no need to worry. At this time, he looked at Xie Luyi and asked, "How is it, what do you think?"
"Oh, it's not easy. I have worked hard for this little thing for this month and it's hard to live a hard life."
Xie Luyi sighed, for a person like him, there is no shortage of means of doing things, but if you don’t have money, it won’t work. It feels like you can’t move. Because of this, there is no other way, so you can only eat this thing honestly.
"Yes, Jinyang is still too poor."
Cheng Yaojin's words were true, and he didn't see any so-called smell of alcohol on his face. For him, the wine here was simply not drunk, and he could only drink it to satisfy his cravings. But there was no way to keep this place, because there was a strange place in this place, that is, although it was a place of dragon success, it was poor, and there were not many other things to sell at the price. In the past, it was not modern. As long as you had the benefits, no matter what kind of transportation it was, there were many such places in the past, as long as there was no place to rush, and at the same time, if there was not much land, it would not be able to develop, especially as time went by, this situation would be even more serious, and Songzhou was an exception, and there were not much land there. If the most was the grassland in the west, other nomadic peoples could eat and drink casually, but, can you? Could you let everyone eat grass?
"I don't know how Songzhou did it, how could he be so rich?"
Xie Luyi and Cheng Yaojin have never been to Songzhou, but there are many people who have returned from Songzhou, some of whom are Li Shimin's confidants, and these two are Li Shimin's confidants, so what do you say when you talk to each other? It's all like this, and it's common. The wealth there makes that person feel unreal, but it's real. What do you think of such a thing? Will it make you a little scared?
"This is not our problem." Cheng Yaojin's greatest ability is to suppress any thoughts in his heart, or not take them seriously. If he can do it himself, then do it. If not, then forget it. Because of this, he can live such an old age when he drinks big cubes of wine and eats meat.
But, you will find that there are such people around you? Some.
Is it too much?
not much.
Why?
Because this is human nature.
Some people can hold on, so they can live a good life, while some people can't hold on, so they can only be crushed to death by their own thoughts.
"Then when are you going to send troops?"
Xie Luyi couldn't help but ask, because this matter was not a simple matter, Qingfeng Mountain was just an ordinary place, and this situation happened because of these people before. However, if the Tang army was really harsh, many things would not be the same. Those bandits and others wanted to fight against the official army, you were dreaming.
"Three days later, wait until their cloth arrives."
Cheng Yaojin's teeth were very good, snow-white. He took half of the meat on the stick into his mouth and ate it in big mouthfuls. Although Xie Luyi was also very hungry, except for the first time, he had to worry about eating it, because the stomach and intestines would be uncomfortable and the teeth would be uncomfortable.
"Well, don't lose the money you sent troops this time."
Xie Luyi received a secret decree from Li Shimin, and life in Chang'an is not easy. Although the emperor has no worries about food and drink, if an emperor only has no worries about food and drink, what is the difference between it and the rich man outside? What the royal family needs to do is to adjust the lives of the people and let people understand what life is.
"Don't worry, can I be ignorant of this? The soldiers in Jinyang are humans, are the people of Jinyang not humans?"
Cheng Yaojin is not confused about big things and does not let go of small things. He is just such a person. Although he is a bit reckless in doing things, he is still very popular.
"You're right."
Xie Luyi regarded Cheng Yaojin as the one who robbed the spoils before. He couldn't help but pour a bowl of wine for himself and drank it in one sip. Then Cheng Yaojin put the fried piece of meat in front of him. This kind of meat is the best, so that he won't worry about being stuffed when eating.
"General, there is a man named Ye Piaoliu outside and brought several people."
Pang Dading was not qualified to know these conversations, so he was always outside. This sentence made Cheng Yaojin shake his fingers, and then looked at Xie Luyi with a wry smile, "You are really anxious enough."
"What can I do if the people are hungry?"
Xie Luyi quickly finished the meat and went out. After an hour, Pang Dading came over and told him that there were only three cars, but they were all meat-eating. In winter, people here are not suitable for eating meat, so Xie Luyi stayed.
"Haha, it's true that you can do things, but it's a pity that such things are too stingy."
Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly, drank the wine in one sip, and then waved his hand and said, "Go and notify everyone. Go out to suppress the bandits in three days. In these three days, big fish and meat can be eaten. If anyone dares not obey the orders, I will not be able to kill him."
Pang Dading said happily, "Sir, they are all sergeants who are fearless, so there is no need to worry."
"Did you understand what I said? He killed him without following the order."
Cheng Yaojin specifically emphasized this matter, which made Pang Dading stunned. Isn’t these two the same thing?
In the past, people were the same as those who were not afraid of death and would not obey orders. Because in the past, once they said such words, they usually let their own people kill the other party. Once such a thing happens, there is no way. Therefore, people in the suicide squad generally have the best food for everything. Why, because after eating this meal, I don’t know whether they can still eat next time. Sometimes, when I have no choice, I can only do this.
"promise."
Pang Da calmed down for a while, then slowly stood up and walked out.
Cheng Yaojin looked at the light outside and seemed to be thinking about something, but sometimes such things are impossible to do with, and sometimes they are so helpless.
Xie Luyi was extremely fast, as if he was worried that Cheng Yaojin would swallow the things, so he directly sent the things to the yamen and sat there and gasped. Although it was very comfortable to eat meat and drink, he prefers to do things like this because only by doing things can he feel his existence.
Ye Piaoliu stood beside him and reported the things he had just counted. Although there were a lot of these things and it seemed that they were all for free, Xie Luyi's brows were still a little tightened. He looked at Ye Piaoliu and asked, "That's all?"
Then, without waiting for the other party to speak, he continued, "It's still not enough."
"Sir, if you give it all, it's not enough."
After Ye Piaoliu said this, he said another sentence, "But Wangjia Village, Lujia Village, Liujia Village, Liujia Village, and Xiwang Village are all unnecessary, right?"
As soon as his words came out, Xie Luyi was stunned. Why isn't this possible? But then he thought about it and realized that these villages are all villages in the hands of these wealthy families. They usually live a good life. Such good things usually have a characteristic, that is, they are not easy to starve to death.
"All of them are my people of the Tang Dynasty, how can you favor one and the other?"
Xie Luyi's words made Ye Piaoliu really not want to continue, because if you really think so, after killing all the opponents, you would have a lot of taxes on that place. Why do you do this? Are those people hateful to death? It’s not because those people were good to these people at the time, and you were worried that something might happen, so you used this method to exploit them. If possible, you would want to strangle them to death before they were done. But in fact, it’s not that you don’t want to do this at all. It’s not that you don’t want to do this, but that you can’t do it, you can only do this.
"Sir, they all have a better life and it's still okay for a while. However, the rest of them will starve to death. These are the targets we strive for."
Ye Piaoliu said everything in Xie Luyi's heart. Although the other party seemed to think that such things were just normal, scholars in the past usually lived through the two paths of civil and military affairs. As for the others, they did not take them seriously because they had no choice but to take them seriously. Because of this, they could only honestly burn themselves when they encountered problems, instead of seeking help. If the court did not give face, they would often die in a large area.
"You said that, but you can't do anything wrong with these supplies. You have to take care of them carefully. If something happens, you will have a lot of trouble."
Some people will not admit their conscience once they suffer losses, but will instead attack you in a real sense. Such behavior does not seem like that, but it forces you to face these things.
"Don't worry, sir, everything is easy, but if they are willing to come, I believe they are willing to take out their property and offer it to the Jinyang government. I believe their assets can make you feel more comfortable."
