Chapter 103: Try

Wei Juyuan's originally turbid eyes suddenly burst out with a glimmer of light.

Jiang is old, and he is not afraid of Wang Hua's requirements, so he is worried that Wang Hua has ambitions in his heart now. When he came, he realized that Wang Hua didn't want to rebel, at least he doesn't want to rebel now.

This gave him confidence and asked tepidly: "So what do you think of Mr. Wang?"

"First of all, it is a pension. In recent years, you should know how much I have given to the emperor and the empress. In addition, the income brought to the court by Qinzhou. I hope that Mr. Wei will not think that these incomes are transformed. The 10 million chunks of money, 10 million stones of grain, 10 million pieces of cotton, and vegetable oil I mentioned cannot be missing a single piece." Wang Hua said firmly.

It could have been negotiated, but now it can be bargained?

Wei Wen frowned.

Since Wang Hua decided to negotiate peace, the ministers in the court repeatedly discussed it. It was the real power of the Eight Prefectures, and finally decided to let go. Even Xia Shengfeng Lin, the seven prefectures and the Lanchi Protectorate, agreed to let go. Nothing else, because this is the gateway of the Eight Prefectures, and even the court did not let go, Wang Hua would not agree.

In this way, it would be better to let him go with the Turks, Hus and Tubo people.

In fact, now we all have come to realize that we were afraid that Wang Hua would burst out and destroy the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, Oceania was slow to react. If we sent troops to eight states at that time, we might have forced Wang Hua away. The flower was once, and everyone couldn't remember. The second time we bloomed was the Blood Camp troops at the city of Lingzhou. Is it so easy to bloom later? If we really teach the people, we are not afraid of death. In fact, many believers don't know what Taoism they believe in.

Of course, it was too late to regret. The raw rice was cooked, so I had to compromise now. Even if Wang Hua was not satisfied, he could be named King of a different surname. Even if he was a real prince of the country.

Then there are other conditions, that is, these four ten million.

It is best to do grain and cotton cloth. Although it will hurt the court, the economic situation of the court has not been too bad in recent years. Seeing the benefits of Guangzhou and Qinzhou, the Maritime Department was established in Suzhou and Quanzhou. With money, in view of the grain price storm that year, in recent years, some granaries have been set up in Luoyang, Chang'an, Bianzhou and Youzhou to store grain.

And it immediately worked. Last year, Wang Hua robbed grain in Weizhou in winter, and the grain prices rose sharply. If it weren't for the storage of grain, Guanzhong's grain would have a serious crisis. Among them, Wang Hua's contribution was also due to his promotion. The number of ships from the sea to Yushui in Lingnan, Jianyangxi in Fuzhou, Zhejiang (Qiantang River), Yangtze River, Yellow River, Jishui, Grand Canal, and the number of ships is increasing sharply.

It is precisely because of these large and small river boats that quickly transferred the grain from the Wei River to Chang'an again.

In fact, the Blood Camp conquered Chang'an City, and there were more than 10 million stones of grain in the warehouse inside the city. With the freight, the cost was only three to four million yuan. Of course, it was not a small number, and anyone would feel hurt.

The second is cloth. The price of cotton is not high, only six cents per foot, which means nodding for three hundred cents per piece.

The least cost is rapeseed oil. Nowadays, rapeseed oil is nothing more than rapeseed oil, soybean oil, and the South American peanut pressed peanut oil introduced by Wang Hua (peanuts were found in China for a long time, but it is recorded that "the taste is spicy, bitter, sweet, cold in nature, like bean pods, and the seeds are like lotus meat. They often kill people. Eat more often to make the essence cold***", which means that the variety is not good. It is estimated that South American peanuts were introduced after the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and this variety was promoted in China on a large scale) and corn oil.

And olive oil from the south.

Later, Wang Hua's subordinates found a plant called sunflower seed from North America, and I heard that it can also press oil. However, after being planted by Eighteen companies, this thing has not yet emerged and is expensive, so it will not be used to press oil.

Or it is cottonseed oil, but Wang Hua repeatedly said that this oil can be used, such as wiping weapons, putting on axles, etc. But it must not be eaten, as it will cause abscess. However, it will cause abscessation and infertility. However, it is cheap. Some poor families will continue to eat it, and even people cannot support it. What are the things to talk about?

Of course, the cheapest thing is cottonseed oil, and the court dared not give it to the blood camp, so it would be better not to agree.

Then there is rapeseed oil and soybean oil. Of course, sesame oil and olive oil are better, but the price is more expensive and very few. This Wang Hua did not make excessive demands.

However, vegetable oil is basically self-sufficient and is sold in a small amount.

Normally, a family of six families only consumes more than 20 liters of vegetable oil a year. Therefore, although 10 million liters of vegetable oil is only worth 78,000 yuan, it is difficult to purchase. Five million liters of vegetable oil may be the limit. Unless Wang Hua can afford it and pay it within two years, the court will send thousands of people to purchase vegetable oil across the country.

Even if the first three items are not agreed to be added together, but if the economy is almost 17 million yuan, even if the court's current economic situation is a little better, it is impossible to take out so much money to "respond". At most, it is a little bit higher than half of the number, which is also the scope of tolerance of the court.

But before he came, Wei sent someone to secretly send him a letter, which wrote some things in it, one of which was said: Suppression is ineffective, and immediately win over it.

He thought quickly in his mind and immediately said, "Mr. Wang, I can say good things to the court for you, but Shu said a loyal message. If all of them are implemented, it will be very difficult."

It surprised him. Although Wang Hua was very kind to entertain, he was extremely tough now. Wang Hua almost didn't think about it and said again: "This is the bottom line, otherwise there is no need to talk about it. Anyway, I am very disappointed with the court."

He said that and stood up.

When Wei Juyuan saw that he was about to leave in anger, he immediately pulled Wang Hua down again.

Now he realized how embarrassed Zhang said he was in the first place.

But I have to endure it and cannot let Wang Hua leave. In just a few days, all three passes of Ziwu Pass, Luo Gu Pass and Ku Gu Pass were lost. Wei Juyuan was very suspicious. If Wang Hua was angry, the city walls in Chang'an were tall and the guards were tight, and he could hold on for many days. Especially the kind of things he invented that he could make people fly in the sky, the city walls would also lose their function.

He sat down and said, "But I can't make the decision on this matter, so I can only write a letter and send someone back to Dongdu, so that all the ministers of the court can discuss it together."

"Okay, I'll wait for a reply the evening after tomorrow."

"The time after tomorrow is too short. Eight hundred miles from Chang'an to Luoyang, I will run back and forth, but it will be too late."

"At that time, I told Mr. Zhang that it was a limit of five days, and now I have been there for one day. This is also my limit."

Wang's paintings are very tough, which is in sharp contrast to the sumptuous feast just now, which is beyond Wei Juyuan's expectations.

He thought for a while and asked again, "So what else is there to be dissatisfied with?"

Just say it out loud at once to save the trouble of getting the time.

"I don't care about the tax on the Silk Road in Linzhou, Lanzhou, but the court should not tax the goods required by the eight states."

This happened to be stuck in the middle of the Blood Camp power. There will be a lot of goods from north to south and goods in and out of the Blood Camp. Some of its own industries will be transported to the Tang Dynasty or the Dashi through this road. The court did not dare to conquer them, but the ugly words were said to be ahead. It has nothing to do with fear, mainly because it is time to watch the show, so you should be more quiet when watching the show.

Wei Juyuan agreed immediately.

In fact, it is not a tax. If tax is imposed, you can get stuck in Weizhou and Liangzhou to collect taxes in advance.

The court fought for the Western Regions. If this right was not taken into consideration, if the blood camp used tariffs, it would undoubtedly block the necks of the imperial court and the Western Regions.

"The horse farm can also be returned, but it turned out that the court raised it in two ways: the people raised it and the court's free-range farming, and this method needs to be changed. Now I run this place and gradually replace nomadic use. Of course, I may provide two thousand people with herding horses for the court, but I must grazed at the designated location. The second is the number of horses. I returned the horses from Lingzhou as much as possible. Most of the war horses are still there, and the court can send officials to check the marks. I will make up for some lost horses. But the horses in Liuhu Prefecture and Fengsheng Prefecture were all taken away by the Turks. This has nothing to do with me."

It must also be made clear that the number of horses in the Blood Camp is huge now, some are taken from Dafeichuan, brought by the Tuyuhun people of Dangxiang, and some are still some horses in the original Tubo territory south of Jishishan, and some are confiscated from the Tang army, Tubo army, and Turkic army, and raised by the Blood Camp itself.

This cannot be confused.

In fact, there were still some imperial horses in the Liuhu Prefecture that were not kidnapped, and even many of the Turkic horses captured by Wang Hua were from the court. However, the court lacked the rules, so Wei Juyuan agreed again.

Wang Hua took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Wei Juyuan.

Wei Juyuan opened it and saw that it was the list of the blood camp sacrifice and injured soldiers.

He looked at Wang Hua suspiciously.

Wang Hua said: "I told Mr. Zhang that you probably know that the treacherous ministers in the court are in power, and every time I increase the loss of the blood camp, I will double down on my request."

The treacherous minister is in power? Wei Juyuan cannot speak.

Wang Hua continued: "In addition to the above-mentioned states, I also request the court to give me the jurisdiction of the three states of Dangwucheng."

"This won't work," Wei Juyuan replied immediately.

The geographical conditions of the Xueying prefectures are actually not very good. In addition to the business roads, Lanzhou has many mountains and canyons, and Yuanzhou is also the same, and Linzhou is slightly better. Yanzhou is also a little more mountains and fields, and north of the Yellow River has been threatened by the Turks for many years. Although it is a good place for farming and grazing, it is wide and sparsely populated. The same is true for Taodihe Prefectures. However, the Hequ land in the south of Shangu Prefectures is a good place, and the best is the Lingzhou area. Then to the recently recovered Jaohe area.

The terrain of the three states of Dangwucheng is not good, but Wei Juyuan cannot agree.

It has nothing to do with the economy, and the courts of these three states did not expect much tax revenue. The main reason is that they have stuck these three states, which has cut off the connection between the court and the Western Regions, and now they have cut off the connection between Bashu and Longyou again. That's not all. If the blood camp causes trouble again, it will go east to Hanzhong and south to Bashu.

"This is the price of sacrificing soldiers and the price of the court. Moreover, in the future, some treacherous ministers blocked Guanzhong again, and I could import supplies from Yunshuo, Hedong, Hanzhong and Bashu. I must have these three places."

Wei Juyuan rubbed his head. Now Wang Hua's attitude is getting tougher and tougher, which is completely different from the whole attitude during the meal, which makes him very troubled. He said: "But I can't make any decisions about this condition. I guess I will not agree even if I tell the court."

"That doesn't matter. I don't even have any conditions. I will immediately conquer Chang'an, and the north and the west are united together. At that time, it will not be these three states, including Qinzhou, Weizhou, Fengzhou, Qizhou, Qingzhou, Jingzhou, Longzhou, Bingzhou, Fuzhou, Fangzhou, Yanzhou, Suizhou, Danzhou, Ningzhou, Minzhou, and Tongzhou. Even Huazhou and Shangzhou in the east can temporarily manage the imperial court."

That's not management, it's really a rebellion.

Wang Hua's more than a dozen states were border states, and these eighteen states were the core areas of the Tang Dynasty. Chang'an had more than two million people. Except for the three states with a smaller population, the rest of these eighteen states were large-capacity states, such as Tongzhou, more than 400,000 people, more than 300,000 people in Qizhou, and the others were more than 200,000,000, or less than 100,000 people, and there were 70,000 or 80,000 people in Shangzhou. In addition, there were 60,000 people in the mountainous areas of Shangzhou.

If Wang Hua takes down these dozen states, it would be like five million more people in the empty space, and it would be a death-death battle, and the Tang Dynasty would have to fight to the end.

Wei Juyuan couldn't argue anymore, so he said, "I'll tell you."

I feel very unconfident when saying this.

"There are three small requests. Our blood camp is working hard for the court. However, the soldiers were very dissatisfied with the court doing this. Therefore, I want the court to hold one or two masterminds. Otherwise, I would not be able to explain to my subordinates."

Wang Hua bit one or two very hard.

Wei Juyuan cursed in his heart: "It's not just your words."

This was clearly because he was narrow-minded and took the opportunity to take revenge, just like he killed Zhou Yong.

But fortunately, he knew the general situation and only asked to deal with one or two people. Is it Zong Chuke or Xue Sijian? Liu Jingren definitely can't do it. He is not the leader. He has to deal with it. He can only choose one of these two people. Let's talk about it when he goes back.

Although he was unwilling, the three of them lost their value after being defeated in the battle, and Wei Juyuan agreed again.

"It's fine if the court doesn't want us to transfer the grain to the northwest, it's fine if we seize the grain. Why kill my subordinates? Innocence merchant ships for transportation?"

"I can make the decision on this. The grain is distributed soon. The ships will compensate for the losses and the relevant personnel will deal with it." Wei Juyuan agreed without hesitation. This batch of grain was undoubtedly returned. Those ships could fool them. The relevant personnel found a few scapegoats.

"In the end, our army is waiting for the news from the court for several days. Did the court take out some logistics rewards from Chang'an City?"

I'm also rewarding. It seems that your soldiers have made no mistakes in Chang'an. Under the eaves, Wei Juyuan gritted his teeth and agreed again.

Then I immediately wrote a letter, time is tight, and I will receive an accurate reply the night after tomorrow, and there is no way.

After writing the letter, I will send it away immediately.

Wang Hua was training the army, but Wei Juyuan came to see it, but he did not refuse. However, Wei Juyuan was an amateur. If he had to choose, he would even think that the Yulin Army in the palace had higher combat effectiveness because it looked more majestic and neat than the Blood Camp.

After watching for a while, I ran into Chang'an City, and didn't want to stay any longer.

Wang Hua didn't care, and sent out a batch of rewards in the evening, but Wang Hua kept Wei Juyuan for dinner again, and still had a warm hospitality.

In fact, Wei Juyuan came intentionally, and there was one thing he didn't say. He was waiting for Wang Hua to speak, but Wang Hua did not speak, so he had to have dinner. When Wang Hua sent him back to Chang'an, he said, "Mr. Wang, I don't know whether I should say something or not."

"Mr. Wei, come here."

"I remember you said when you were a child, there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies."

"Not bad, isn't it right?"

"It makes sense. So let me say one more thing. A series of things have happened in the past two years. First of all, let me make it clear that your trip to Tubo really has nothing to do with the queen. Later, the queen believed some villains in the family and the treacherous ministers in the court to instigate, so a series of misunderstandings occurred. Now the queen regrets it very much."

Wang Hua didn't say anything and thought to himself, the mediocre show is coming.
To be continued...
