Chapter 56: Tolerate heroes from all over the world for my use
Chapter 56 Tolerate heroes from all over the world for my use
In the autumn of the 12th year of the Han Dynasty, Ying Bu turned against him, and the emperor attacked him, and several envoys asked the prime minister what was.
The Prime Minister was the best in the army, so he tried to help the people and all assisted the army, such as Chen Xi. A guest said that the Prime Minister said, "The king has destroyed his clan soon. His throne is the prime minister and his merits are the best. How can he be better? However, when you first entered Guanzhong, you have been grateful for the hearts of the people. After more than ten years, you all have been with the king and often get the people harmonious. The emperor asked him several times, fearing that he was moving to Guanzhong. Now the king does not buy much land, and he is cheap to pay for his own loans to defile himself? The emperor is at ease." So the prime minister followed his plan and the emperor made a big statement.
"The emperor stopped the army and returned, and the people's way blocked their journey and wrote a letter, saying that the prime minister and the country were cheap and forced to buy tens of millions of land and houses. When the emperor arrived, the prime minister and the country paid a visit. The emperor laughed and said, "The prime minister and the country are beneficial to the people!" All the people wrote to the prime minister and said, "You will thank the people."
This is an excerpt from the original text of the family of Xiao Xiangguo in "Records of the Grand Historian". Xiao Xiangguo naturally refers to Xiao He, and then Liu Bang. At that time, in order to avoid Liu Bang's suspicion, Xiao He concealed and occupied tens of millions of people's houses.
Now, Chen Ying is no exaggeration to say that he is actually Li Jiancheng's Xiao He.
At least, Guanzhong was famine everywhere, and Chen Ying stood up. He fought with grain merchants, defeated the aristocratic clans, and solved the worries of famine in Guanzhong. Since Chen Ying officially took office, he has made countless military achievements and made even more great achievements behind the scenes.
Without Chen Ying's help, Li Jiancheng would definitely not be today.
Although Li Jiancheng was generous by nature, Liu Bang was still righteous before he became emperor. He, Zhou Bo, Cao Shen, and Fan Kuai wished he could wear a pair of pants.
In particular, Han Xin, who established the first military god of Han, died unjustly.
Chen Ying really dared not take the lives of his family and bet on the so-called human nature.
Looking at Chen Ying hesitating, Yang Rong continued, "Little cousin, how about you comparing yourself to Wang Jian?"
Chen Ying shook his head and said, "This is not comparable!"
Yang Rong said: "Wang Jian even puts land on his own and is self-deprecating. To leniently, why don't my cousin imitate his ancestors?"
During the Warring States Period, Wang Jian led 600,000 people to attack Chu, and the King of Qin sent him to Bashang. Before leaving, Jian invited many beautiful fields and houses. After that, he was at the mercy of the emperor, and sent envoys to ask for good fields five times. Someone blamed him for begging for too much. Jian said, "Otherwise, the King of Qin was disgusted but did not believe in others. Now he was a soldier of Qin and was specially commissioned to me. I would not ask for land and houses to be the property of his descendants to strengthen himself. I asked the King of Qin to sit down and doubt my evil spirits?" See "Records of the Grand Historian: Biography of Wang Jian of Bai Qi".
Chen Ying looked at Yang Rong and smiled bitterly.
In fact, this is not a problem of laying down a little bit of land. The key is that the treasure land of Xiazhou is too precious. With the development of science and technology, the reserves in later generations have been discovered, and more than 54% of Xiazhou's land owns coal. To put it bluntly, if you just hoe, you will have half the chance of digging coal in Xiazhou.
This is simply a treasure house of resources, which is worse than that of Lingzhou.
There are super-large coal mines, super-large oil fields, and clay for producing porcelain. Although it is inconspicuous, its economic value is immeasurable.
If Yang Rong could obtain resource mining rights in Xiazhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou, the Wu family would have formed a mineral family that could be rich enough to rival the country within more than ten years.
The least worry-free thing is that Yang Rong will have an unpredictable queen daughter in the future. If the Wu family has more than a hundred times, thousands times, or even tens of thousands of times more than history, then God knows what trouble Wu Zetian will do.
Chen Ying smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, my cousin, Xiazhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou are really hot. I believe you have sent someone to investigate secretly. Xiazhou has a large amount of coal, steel, salt, tincture oil, and clay (the raw materials for making porcelain, not all soil can be burned into porcelain). These resources are in your hands, and it is not necessarily a good thing!"
Yang Rong hesitated for a moment and said angrily: "I won't get it in vain! How much does it cost? If you say something, I will never bargain. We, the Wu family, and Yang family, dare not say that if we have more, we can still get one or two million yuan!"
Not to mention one or two million guan, even one or two million guan sold the mineral resources of the three states, all of which are bargain.
Chen Ying said: "It's really not a matter of money. Every man is guilty of being guilty of being a treasure. Once these resources are in your hands, they will be jealous..."
Yang Rong gritted her teeth and said, "I won't want too much. I will only buy the mining rights for twenty years. By then, the mine cave is mature and the craftsmen are skilled. The court can choose to continue renewing the contract or take it back. This is OK, right?"
Chen Ying continued to shake his head as if he was rattled and said, "No, no matter how much money you give, you can't sell it..."
In this world, although money is not omnipotent, it is absolutely impossible to have money. The capital of the Tang Dynasty was actually only 1.75 million guan. The Li Tang court used this 1.75 million guan to defeat the 36 rebellion against the kings at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty.
If Yang Rong had such a large amount of funds, God knows what would happen.
You know, when Wu Zetian showed his sharpness for the first time, he was just fourteen years old, and this was a monster.
Looking at Chen Ying, she was not good at softness and hardness. Yang Rong was really popular. She slapped the table hard and stared at Chen Ying fiercely.
A monster is a monster, a beauty is a beauty, even if she is angry, she is so cute. Especially Yang Rong suddenly slapped the table, and the waves on her chest were surging. Chen Ying was frightened by her and asked stammeringly: "What do you...what do you want to do? Don't be angry, say something well..."
Chen Ying's momentum is not a little weaker than before...
Yang Rong gritted her teeth and said, "Chen Ying, I have never seen a man as stingy as you! You have no demeanor at all..."
This guy didn't get any oil and salt in his mouth. Yang Rong was so angry that she had itchy. If she had brought her silver makeup knife by her side, she would have pulled it out and stabbed Chen Ying long ago.
Of course, these ideas are not realistic. In order to buy what she wants to buy, she still has to find a way. Take a deep breath... inhale... exhale... try to calm down as much as possible, because being angry is of no benefit to negotiations and will only mess up things...
Chen Ying stared at Yang Rong blankly. For a moment, the expression on her face was very wonderful, resentful, angry, roared, surprised, struggled, and entangled...
But then again, Yang Rong's breasts are really well-known, and they can be regarded as magnificent when taking a deep breath.
After calming down his anger, Yang Rong unexpectedly discovered Chen Yingse's confused gaze and stared at her chest.
Yang Rong showed a charming smile at Chen Ying. Although it was a little stiff, it was still very charming.
She moved her lotus steps to Chen Ying, her beautiful eyes rippled in color, and her voice was charming and bone-absorbing, which made Chen Ying get goosebumps all over her body: "Do you think I'm beautiful?"
Chen Ying purred in his throat and said, "Beautiful, of course she is beautiful."
This is definitely not flattery, even if you have seen countless female models and celebrities in modern times (in TV series or videos). In Chen Ying's opinion, Yang Rong's appearance is the best choice. What is rare is that she is not a young beauty, but also a middle-aged aunt, but has the stunning figure of a beautiful woman in her twenties.
This appearance made Li Xiuning a little jealous.
Yang Rong leaned forward and blew a breath into Chen Ying's ears. His face turned red after a flash.
Yang Rong chuckled evilly and said, "I... asked you one last time, do you agree or not!"
Chen Ying shook his head and said firmly: "This matter is not to be discussed. How do you want the mineral resources of the Western Regions? This... I can think of a way..."
Chen Ying is a principled person. He is not the one who can easily change his original intention by Yang Rong giving him a glamorous look.
Yang Rong's face turned cold and she asked lightly: "Is it true?"
Chen Ying nodded and said, "It's true!"
Yang Rong was not confused at all and walked straight out of the door. When she arrived at the door, she slowly turned around and looked at Chen Ying and said, "I hope you don't regret it!"
After Yang Rong left, Chen Ying ate the meal in depression, but when the food came to Chen Ying's mouth, he felt no more delicious.
Chen Ying threw the chopsticks on the table angrily and stopped eating.
As a normal man, Chen Ying was indeed aroused by Yang Rong just now.
But... he is not a beast, and he really hasn't discovered the idea of an inappropriate love.
...
In the Xiande Hall of Chang'an City, Zheng Yuanshou reported to Li Jiancheng with a respectful look on his face: "Report to Your Majesty, Ashina Sheer refused to accept His Majesty's reward. He asked his ministers to bring a message and said that the descendants of the wolf have their own pride and traditions. It is true that Jie Li and he have a grudge against his father, but he will use dignified means to regain everything that belongs to him, but he will never join forces with outsiders to deal with his tribal compatriots at this time."
After hearing this, Li Jiancheng nodded, patted the handrail of the Danqian chariot with his palm, and sighed: "I didn't expect that Ashina Sheer... is so backbone, where is the Secretariat?"
The Secretariat of the Central Secretariat rushed forward to greet him.
Li Jiancheng said: "I wrote a decree to the Secretariat and conferred Ashinashe's Duke as Duke of Bi and General of the Right Guard."
Zheng Yuanshou looked at Li Jiancheng in shock.
Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty, are you planning to go to the Eastern Turks to announce the imperial edict?"
Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "No... this time I will go to the Eastern Turks secretly and give Ashina Sheer a heavy gift!"
In fact, no one is a fool.
The more fanfare the order was, the more likely Jie Li Khan could guess that this was Li Jiancheng's plan to disagree.
However, if he secretly went to promulgate the imperial edict, then Jie Li Khan would become suspicious.
Wei Zheng looked at Li Jiancheng with interest and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder what gift you are going to give Ashina Sheer?"
Li Jiancheng said: "Five hundred high-manganese steel horizontal knives, one thousand turbulent bombs, and three hundred sets of high-manganese steel bright light armor!"
Wei Zheng said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, do we need to spend so much effort to recruit Asina Sheer?"
Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "It is not a simple way to disagree. Asana Sheer is a rare loyal and righteous man among the Turks. Such a person has a firm mind and can stand the test. In the future, he will become the mainstay of the Turks. If he can join the Tang Dynasty, there will be one more general in the Tang Dynasty, and the Turks will lose a warrior from then on. How many famous generals have we killed by mistake before..."
Speaking of this, Li Jiancheng looked emotional.
Fang Xuanling murmured: "For example, Xue Renguo!"
Wang Gui also said: "For example, Dou Jiande!"
Wei Zheng also said: "There are also Duke Mi and Bodang..."
Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng and nodded and said, "The Tang Dynasty should have such confidence, be able to tolerate heroes from all over the world, and be able to allow them to continue to play their value and role. This is the courage that the Tang Dynasty should have..."
