It can be harvested. The grain supply in Chang'an has quietly increased by two cents. Compared with last year, it has increased by half. Yun Ye has said before that cheap grain hurts farmers. He even laughed at him for being obsessed with money. In the prosperous age
Next, the most important thing is that food is cheap. Only in this way can millions of mouths in the world be fed. At that time, Yun Ye also said that one day the market would adjust food prices on its own. In this matter, the imperial power had almost no resistance other than killing people.
The solution, indeed, was that he had no way to stop those grain merchants from raising prices. More than a dozen people had been beheaded in the West Market. Unfortunately, the number of grain stores was also rapidly reduced by dozens. Killing was not the solution. Li Er felt that he was in this matter.
Very powerless in matters.
Linghu Defen's words stabbed him in the heart again. He wanted to have an attack, but there was no reason. The land of Yanzhao was very troublesome. How many people did he kill to pacify Youzhou? Dou Jiande and Luo Yi, he couldn't kill them.
, there are always some of the most troublesome enemies in that area, it’s impossible not to save them.
If he hadn't allocated all the 400,000 yuan that the queen had obtained to the Ministry of War, he might still have a little more money. War would be a costly business. However, the last time he conquered the Turks, it didn't seem to cost much. When Yun Ye comes back, he will have a good time.
I want to ask how war wealth is distributed. This guy must have made a lot of money for me in Lingnan!
Li Er was sitting on the throne, thinking about his own affairs, and turned a deaf ear to the commotion in the court. He had already made plans for the Western Expedition or the land of Yan and Zhao. Now their quarrels were just meaningless words, just why. Those
Your honor actually has a smile on your face? Do you like it when the country is suffering?
Just as he was about to get angry, he saw a Huangmen hurriedly walked up to the palace, and reported: "Your Majesty, there are the Cheng Pei family, the Niu Jiang family, and the Yun Zhao family outside the palace gate, asking to see your Majesty."
Qin Qiong closed her eyes with a miserable look on her face. She was going to make her last effort in court today. Rumors of stopping the Western Expedition had been spread by some people with ulterior motives. How could the Cheng family, Niu family, and Yun family not know that Cheng Yao
Jin and Niu entered the expedition. If the Western Expedition does not proceed, they will die without a burial place. Yesterday they asked Qin Qiong for his opinion. This is the last resort. They will break the family and support the Western Expedition, at least to ensure that the soldiers who set out early are safe.
Return.
Li Er thought that the three of them were here to cry and wanted to continue the western expedition. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Cheng, Mrs. Niu, and the old lady of the Yun family did not cry or make trouble after they went to the palace. However, the two ladies Cheng and Niu were very haggard.
The old lady of the Yun family spoke: "Your Majesty, this Tai Chi Palace was originally not a place for women like us to come. I just heard that the imperial court intended to stop the Western Expedition. The reason was actually a major disaster in the country and a lack of money and food.
The soldiers are fighting for the country at the border, how can they lack food and clothing? We women don’t understand military and state affairs, so it’s okay for the women and children at home to be aggrieved. I just feel that we can’t treat the soldiers at the border badly. The bad Sun Yunye has always spent money without restraint. The Yun family searched
Our family has only collected 80,000 guan, and together with the Cheng family, the Niu family, and the Qin family, we have collected a total of 150,000 guan. Please use this money to buy some food for the victims. It would be good to save one more life."
After saying that, he took out a banknote from his sleeve and put it on the plate held by the chamberlain. He took Mrs. Cheng Niu and two ladies to salute the emperor and then left the palace.
The palace was quiet, no one spoke, and Li Er laughed loudly: "Okay, our Tang Dynasty is really at the end of its rope, and we are in a situation where we have to take food from the mouths of women and children. Isn't it the Western Expedition? We lack a few money and food."
So I scared you into quails? The land of Hebei was only damaged by the four states, and each one of you became a frightened bird? Where did you have the energy to follow me and swallow thousands of miles like a tiger? Could it be that if you live in peace for too long, you will not be able to ride?
A horse cannot hold a bow and cannot kill the enemy? It was a grassroots battle in the past, but now it has worn away the last bit of heroism with its charming wives and concubines? Changsun Wuji, tell me, do you still dare to go to the battlefield? "
Changsun Wuji stood up and reported back: "Your Majesty, my sword neighs every night, and the good horse in the stable is restless. As long as your Majesty gives the order, even the sword mountain and fire sea minister can go back and forth twice."
If you don't say nice words now, you probably won't have the chance to say them in the future. Everyone can see that Li Er has reached the limit of his patience. If he speaks provocative words at this time, he will definitely die without a burial place.
For a time, the caliber of the court was highly unified, and there was not a trace of noise. Of course, the emperor would not want the property of the four families of Cheng, Niu, Yun, and Qin. What he wanted was a harmonious and stable court.
No one knew that in the emperor's sleeve was a 900,000-guan banknote. This was his greatest source of confidence. The eldest grandson gave it to him before he went to court, saying that it was part of Lingnan's income, and the rest.
It needs to be processed by Yun Ye before it can be sent to Chang'an. After all, those treasures are of no use to the court at this time.
Millions of tons of grain are on the sea. Yun Ye only needs to dock in Youzhou to immediately extinguish the hunger fire in Yanzhao, and there may be a lot left.
Compared with Li Er suffering in the court, Yun Ye was relaxed and happy. Because in the north, there were many merchant ships on the sea, and the coming and going was very lively. The clouds were steaming on the sea, and the scenery was beautiful and varied. Many islands were in the clouds and mist.
Faintly, Dongyu arrived at his hometown, and his mood became very good. He introduced his hometown to Wangcai in a hurried manner, and each person and the horse seemed to be very involved in the conversation.
If he hadn't encountered three Japanese boats, Yun Ye would have maintained his good mood. With an order, he was ready to send these three ships to the bottom of the sea to meet the Dragon King. Regardless of whether they were pirates or not, Yun Ye believed it anyway.
The naval forces were also prepared to believe that this was a group of pirates. The best thing to do was to collect physical evidence afterwards. I believed there would be evidence. Wuji also believed that there would be physical evidence, because as long as it passed through Yun Ye's hands, it would be difficult to get rid of it.
The Eight Ox Crossbows have been strung up, and the trebuchets have placed stones the size of human heads in bamboo baskets. Everyone is constantly correcting the angles, preparing for the first round of bombardment, which will smash the three boats to pieces.
A green-robed official from the Tang Dynasty appeared on the bow of the Japanese ship and kept shouting to the fleet. Yun Ye reluctantly ordered to stop the attack. He really couldn't do such a thing as throwing stones at his own people.
A small boat picked up the green-robed official, and Yun Ye asked angrily: "Why are you, a sixth-grade official, crowded on the same boat with the Japanese? Isn't it embarrassing? Is the Tang Dynasty running out of boats?"
"As for Hou Yun, Xiaguan is affiliated with Honglu Temple and was ordered to go to the Japanese country. Now he is returning to Chang'an to resume his duties."
"Have you met their queen? Her teeth are stained black and her face is smeared with lime. Why, he didn't ask you to borrow a seed? Looking at your rosy face, you don't seem to be overly drunk."
"Marquis Yun was joking. Your Majesty was ordered to go to Japan on official business because your majesty heard that their place was rich in silver. He wanted me to go and have a look. If there was too much, he ordered Japan to offer some to Japan every year. I went through life and death before arriving at Japan.
Congren also died of illness, and only Xiaguan survived."
Hearing what he said, Yun Ye felt much better. It turned out that he was here to see the money, not the Japanese women. He was so pitiful that he drooled when he looked at Wangcai's snack plate. The petty Wangcai was afraid of this man and
He grabbed it, finished the last snack in one bite, turned around and pointed his butt towards the official named He Zhongwu.
He Zhongwu smiled awkwardly at Yun Ye. He rubbed his hands and didn't know what to say. He blushed and was embarrassed to say, how could Yun Ye not understand that he had suffered so many crimes in the Japanese country, and what he wanted to eat most now must be one.
A big bowl of noodles, Guanzhong people can't live without noodles.
One of the boss's men burst into tears while holding a bowl of noodles. After taking a bite, he burst into tears and his tears fell into the bowl. No one said anything. Yun Ye held a large bowl of noodles and ate with him.
A tall man who cries makes people feel unhappy.
After a long while, He Zhongwu stopped crying and said to Yun Ye, "Mr. Hou made me laugh. Xiaguan stayed in the Japanese country for two years. At first, he missed his relatives at home. Later, his dreams were full of pasta. In his dreams, he was eating noodles."
Guokui, when he woke up, he found that he had been chewing on the wooden pillow all night. He couldn't bear to look back, he couldn't bear to look back. "
"Shut up, eat quickly, and just go home. I happen to be going back to Chang'an, so you can come with me. From now on, you will live on our boat and don't get involved with the Japanese people."
"I obey the order, but there are eighty-six envoys from the Japanese Kingdom to Tang Dynasty on board. Will they also be taken to our ship? Their ship is really not suitable for human habitation. It is small and dirty."
He Zhongwu is considered a talent. He can actually swallow noodles and talk at the same time. For a typical northwest man, this skill cannot be developed in a day or two.
"Take care of yourself. We are a warship, not a civilian ship. You are an official. It doesn't matter if you come up. What qualifications do those Japanese have to come up? If you hadn't come out to say hello just now, they would have been taken to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish. How dare they get on the ship?
?"
After eating two pots of noodles in a row, He Zhongwu patted his belly and praised the chef for his skill. He said that he had eaten pig food for two years in the Japanese country, and his life could not keep up with the horses of the Tang Dynasty.
His gift was brought up as a gift. It was pitiful to say that there were only two silver nuggets, which were still natural. He wanted to use these things to show the court that Japan indeed had a lot of silver.
After drinking Yunfu's fine wine, few people fell asleep immediately, and He Zhongwu was no exception. He was drunk and hung up and finally let go. He fell on his bed and slept very sweetly.
A beautiful mountain peak appeared vaguely on the horizon, floating on the water, and it seemed that it really was an overseas fairy mountain.
"Look, Penglai Immortal Island!" I don't know who shouted first. Everyone was lying on the side of the ship to look at the immortals. Some pious people had already started to kneel down and worship.
Yun Ye stood on the bow of the boat, carefully admiring the rare mirage scenery. He always felt that this mountain peak was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it before. This was so strange.
