"That's right, there is no rules and no rules. You guys usually make a lot of noises because no one can deal with you. After this king comes here, you have to do things in a new way for me.
, otherwise don’t blame me for destroying all your families.”
Seeing that everyone closed their mouths, Li Xiang stood up and spoke. When Li Xiang said the word "I", the people present raised their heads in horror.
"May I ask if the prince is His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin?"
The elders in their family have told them not to mess around these days. Some big shots who cannot be offended have come from the capital, especially the emperor's son and grandson. If they mess with these two people,
Not to mention your own lives, I am afraid that including our family's belongings will not be saved.
So when Li Xiang said these two words, these people's hearts skipped a beat. How could they be so lucky? After holding it back at home for so long, they finally went out for a walk and bumped into the prince.
Wang Jia.
"My king Li Xiang."
It is a remote and remote place, but the bureaucrats have also heard some things about Li Xiang, so when Li Xiang's name was mentioned, they were all frightened and did not know what to say. After all, the border was
The war here was caused by His Highness the Changsun.
"See Your Highness."
Just now, these guys were still dissatisfied. Now when they heard Li Xiang announcing his family status, they all knelt down quickly. In Wuqing Mansion, they are considered the most prominent young men, but if compared with Li Xiang, they are bullshit.
neither.
"Don't talk so much. I just want to know one thing right now. Why didn't you join the army to serve the country? Now that the Tuyuhun army is approaching, according to the decree promulgated by the court early, all men of school age must report to the military camp. How do you still have time to go?
What about sightseeing?"
Li Xiang was too lazy to talk nonsense with these guys and went straight to the topic.
"this……"
If it were anything else, they could still excuse it, but if it were this, I really don’t know what to say. It’s not like this in their local area, it’s like this all over the country. Who among the dignitaries would let their family members go to the battlefield?
Well, unless they are after the great generals in the capital, people go to the army to make a career, but these third-rate young men do not have that ability, so the army has become a place that they like to stay away from.
"It's hard to answer, isn't it? It doesn't matter, but I'm a newbie here. I believe you can see that there should be 3,600 people, but now it's really hard to say that there are only a dozen or so people selected.
You can’t let me take these dozen people to the battlefield, right?”
As soon as Li Xiang's words changed, these people's eyes were already in despair. They had also heard about some of Li Xiang's ways of doing things. If the investigation continued like this, their parents in the family might be affected. They were worried about what to do.
To survive this crisis, who knew what Li Xiang said.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, leave this matter to us. We will collect these more than 3,000 people. We must not let His Highness lead these dozen people to the battlefield."
The leader said quickly, and the rest of the people also nodded. There were many private slaves in their families. As long as they selected some strong ones and let Li Xiang lead these people to the battlefield, maybe they would not have any trouble.
Of course, I have to give Li Xiang a heavy gift.
Of course Li Xiang understands what these people are up to. Can we let you people be fooled? Your minions are usually very resentful. When they get to the battlefield, let alone fight for us, they are very likely to be confused.
I have given my life to them, but you dare not take it even if you dare to give it to me.
"I don't think I'll bother you all with this matter. I'd better recruit soldiers myself. However, each soldier needs at least sixty coins for armor and weapons. This money..."
Li Xiang deliberately lengthened his tone, hoping that these people would recognize the money, but these people did not accept Li Xiang's words.
They have no shortage of more than 3,000 people. After all, there are many slaves in the family. They can just pick some strong ones and send them over. But if they are asked to pay this amount, isn't it a bit too much? One person needs sixty guans.
Money, if there are 3,600 people, this is more than 20,000 yuan.
This money is very difficult for some of the top wealthy families in the capital to come up with. It is also very difficult to come up with it. They are just some third-rate small landowners in the local area. Even if they sell their entire family, they may not be able to get it together.
If you don't have such a sum of money, if you have to use this method to get through the difficulties, what's the point of living?
"It seems that none of you want to cooperate with me. Didn't we just have a good relationship? Why didn't you say anything when I mentioned the money?"
Li Xiang said with a sneer. This voice made everyone present feel chills in their bodies.
"Your Highness, it's not that we are unwilling to pay, it's actually this money..."
The leading young master said with some difficulty, their family is considered the number one family in the local area, their annual income is less than 900 yuan, which is already a lot. Compared with the people around them, there is still a gap between them and their family.
, if they were allowed to take 20,000 yuan, then they might as well confiscate their whole family.
"I said to this young man, what you said is wrong. It's as if I'm blackmailing you. You must know that this money is not for me. You should be serving in the army, but you are traveling in the mountains.
Playing with water, if this is reported, not only you will go to jail, but your parents will also go. I am risking violating the laws of the Tang Dynasty and opening a back door for you. You must cherish this opportunity.
OK."
Li Xiang patted the young man on the shoulder with a good-natured look on his face, but the people around him didn't believe you were really thinking about us anyway. The number you wanted was too much, even if the entire military
Even if the Qing Mansion digs three feet of the ground, I'm afraid they won't be able to find 20,000 yuan.
"Your Highness, we really can't get it out..."
"Please have mercy on Your Highness..."
When everyone saw that Li Xiang was not joking, they all knelt down in front of Li Xiang, hoping that Li Xiang would show mercy to them.
The surrounding people, including Old Man Zhao, saw that they were motivated. Every time a new official came, they tried their best to make money from the people, but our prince was different. He tried hard to make money from the officials, but we ordinary people were the opposite
