Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 889
Chapter 11 Even if you go bankrupt, you can't afford it
On the edge of the Baqiao outside Chang'an City, in a wine shop.Yu Wenhuaji's carriage slowly stopped outside the door of the restaurant, and the waiter knocked on the stick and shouted: "Excellent wine, unlimited supply, one hundred yuan per bucket!"

Yu Wenhuaji waved his hand, and the carriage stopped slowly.Yu Wenhuaji walked straight into the private room next to the window of the restaurant, saying it was a private room is actually not appropriate, because this private room does not have a door, only a linen curtain covers the door, and the scene inside cannot be seen clearly.

When Yu Wenhua entered the private room, several Yuan followers violently drove out the drinkers in the restaurant and guarded the door of the restaurant.

Yu Wenhua and Juzhong were sitting in the private room, holding a knife in their hands and cutting the meat of a roasted whole lamb. Below it was a terrified Tang Army captain, who was trembling.

Yu Wenhuaji cut off the meat from the leg of lamb with a small knife, and then broke the leg bone with a small knife. While sucking the bone marrow in the leg bone, he asked, "Have you eaten?"

Lieutenant Tang Jun trembled and didn't speak.

A Yuan follower yelled: "If you don't answer, are you courting death?"

The Tang Army Colonel trembled and said, "Eat... no... no...!"

Yu Wenhuaji asked lightly: "Did you eat yesterday?"

The captain said timidly: "Eat... eat...."

Yu Wenhuaji asked again: "What do you eat?"

Lieutenant Tang Jun looked at Yu Wenhua and the leg of lamb in front of him, swallowed his saliva, and said in an unspeakable way: "Mimi dumplings."

Yu Wenhuaji asked again: "How much did you eat?"

Captain Tang Jun said: "Two... one."

Yu Wenhuaji looked at the eight-foot-tall figure of Colonel Tang Jun, and asked in disbelief, "Two millet dumplings for one meal? Is your appetite small enough?"

Lieutenant Tang Jun shook his head and said, "No...not one meal...one day...just two rice balls a day...!
Yu Wenhuaji put down the knife, and asked calmly, "Only two pancakes for one meal a day?"

Lieutenant Tang Jun hurriedly said, "Yes... yes... and two bowls of soup."

Yu Wenhuaji asked, "Broth?"

Lieutenant Tang Jun quickly shook his head and said, "No, it's kelp soup!"

Yu Wenhuaji became interested, and asked with a smile: "Your General Feng only eats one millet dumpling a day?"

Since Li Jiancheng ascended the throne, Li Jiancheng saw that the left and right military guards did not play any role in the Xuanwumen Incident.Therefore, the left and right guards of the East Palace, and the left and right Siyu rates, a total of eighteen Zhechong troops, were deployed to defend with the left and right military guards.

In fact, the generals of the left and right guards are actually controlled by Feng Li, the general of Wuwei, and Xie Shufang is only in name.

Lieutenant Tang Jun shook his head: "No...!"

Yu Wenhuaji nodded and said, "Let me just say, no one can starve General Feng when they are hungry, right?"

The crowd burst into laughter.

With a trace of dissatisfaction and resentment in Tang Jun's eyes, he said coldly: "General Feng has dried meat... and horse meat. He has killed many horses...!"

Yu Wenhuaji nodded, waved his hands and said, "Take it down, and give him some meat!"

Zuo Yuan's retinue took Tang Jun Xiaowei down.

Yu Wenhuaji inserted the knife in his hand into the mutton all at once, and looked around: "What do you think?"

At this time, the partition of another private room suddenly turned. In fact, it was just a screen, and dozens of grain merchants walked out of it.

A grain merchant with a big belly said: "Leader, we guessed right. Li Jiancheng is indeed bluffing. Although the source of these grains has not been found out, the quantity must not be too much. Otherwise, even Li Jiancheng's direct troops are not now. Will be hungry!"

Another grain merchant who was playing with the jasper wrench said: "Still holding on, [-] shi of grain, [-] qian per bucket, is only [-] guan, each of our families only has [-] guan, we can eat it all!"

A thin grain merchant smiled wryly: "It's easy to say, the family has no living money, let alone a thousand guan, I can't afford a hundred guan!"

Yu Wenhuaji shook his head lightly, gently put the knife on the case, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Li Jiancheng must have more than this hole card, and it is not the time to start the war before his strength is exhausted! "

At this time, a messenger entered the private room and presented him with a letter.

Yu Wenhuaji opened it and looked, his expression changed.

The generals looked at each other in blank dismay.

Yu Wenhuaji said with a gloomy face: "Another grain transportation team has entered Guanzhong, and this time the number is even larger. There are a full three thousand four-wheeled carriages and no less than 12 shi of grain!"

The face of the grain merchant with a big belly changed drastically: "It seems that the rumors are true, Li Jiancheng really got 20 shi of grain!"

Yu Wenhuaji said lightly: "Now, the arrow is on the string, and we have to send it. We can only borrow money from Tongli Bank with the whole family!"

The grain merchants began to feel bad. They had already used their family's floating wealth and the liquidity they could draw on to short-sell the grain market.

The big-bellied grain merchant, with the fat on his face trembling, roared ferociously, "I have [-] ancestral shops and [-] acres of fertile land. Put them in Datang Tongli Bank, and I can lend at least [-] guan!"

"Fight!"

"Only a loan!"

A thought came into the mind of the grain merchant who was playing with the jasper wrench. In case of failure, all these ancestral properties would become fat in Chen Ying's mouth, and he would eat them at half the market price, or even lower. industry!
He shook his head, immediately threw this crazy idea out of his mind, and said through gritted teeth: "We will not lose!"

……

In front of the provincial hall under the gate, there was a line of officials who came to handle important matters.Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng walked into the provincial hall under the door.

All the officials greeted Wei Zheng one after another.

Wei Zheng looked at all the subordinates of the province and said: "Under the family, the guards of the ministers are respected by Ming De; The common government is multiplied and huge, and the six armies are governed with leniency and strictness..."

After some instructions, Wei Zheng turned around and left the provincial government office.

Fang Xuanling walked around to have a look by himself, and a subordinate official stepped forward to greet him.

Fang Xuanling showed the fish seal ribbon on his waist.

The subordinate officer carefully led Fang Xuanling to the office desk.

Several subordinate officials who were discussing the matter all looked back at Fang Xuanling.

A doctor whispered and said: "Isn't this Shi Fangxuanling, the head of Tiance Prefecture? A house slave with three surnames, unexpectedly came to the door of the family to be a servant in a dignified manner!

Another small official said with a smile on his face: "Didn't he keep saying that he was going to die for the deposed King Qin? Why are you still shy and living in the world?"

The doctor pointed to the sky and said, "It is said that your Majesty, don't let him die!"

The little official snorted and said: "It's not easy to die, you can hit a wall, jump into a river, or set yourself on fire!"

Another clerk said with a sneer: "Haha, the water is too cold to jump into the river..."

The doctor under the door said with a shallow smile: "I see, this kind of nonsense is purely used by this person to cover his face."

Everyone deliberately spoke loudly.

Fang Xuanling prepared the office items on the table as if no one was there, and then said coldly: "Come here!"

A subordinate official in charge of official affairs stepped forward to greet Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling said: "Today, what edicts and documents have been sent by the Ministry of Education?"

A subordinate official walked quickly to the door holding the imperial edict in his hand and said, "This is the imperial edict just sent by the Ministry of Education, please return it to Shizhong for review and approval."

Fang Xuanling unfolded the imperial edict slowly and read it.

The subordinate officials waiting at the side looked rather impatient.

After reading the imperial edict, Fang Xuanling drew a big red cross with a Chinese ink pen on the imperial edict issued by Li Jiancheng to recruit middle-aged men, rolled up the imperial edict, and stuffed the edict into the Inside the small box with the word "refutation" written on it.

The subordinate officer standing beside Fang Xuanling, his face flushed with anger, glared at Fang Xuanling viciously, picked up the box and left in a hurry.

Fang Xuanling drank hot tea in his free time.

The Secretary of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was separated by a wall from the door. A secretary of the Chinese Academy of Sciences hurried into the wing room when he tripped over the threshold and almost fell down.

Chen Shuda, who was writing, gave a dissatisfied look.

He stood up and hurriedly said: "Chen Linggong, something is wrong! Fang Xuanling has returned... the imperial edict just sent by the Ministry of Education!"

Chen Shuda jumped up in shock, and said angrily, "Say it again!"

With a wry smile on his face, he said, "Fang Xuanling painted back the imperial document just sent by the Ministry of Education!"

Chen Shuda looked at the big red cross, and said angrily, "Does Fang Xuanling really regard himself as someone else?"

With that said, Chen Shuda personally supported the imperial edict and walked towards Xiande Hall.

Inside the Xiande Hall, Li Jiancheng looked at the big fork on the edict, trembling with anger, he roared: "This is Fang Xuanling's good deed??"

Chen Shuda nodded with self-hate and said: "Not bad!"

Li Jiancheng said angrily: "Don't Fang Xuanling know that this is my will?"

Chen Shuda said indifferently: "What he refuted is His Majesty's holy will!"

Li Jiancheng slapped Yu An angrily and shouted: "Then he still dares to do this?

Chen Shuda quizzed in fear: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Li Jiancheng shouted: "Draft another edict, ordering the family to go down to the province, not to be denied, and the edict to recruit middle-aged men."

Chen Shuda bowed and said: "The old minister obeys the order!"

As he spoke, Chen Shuda tremblingly walked towards Menxia Province.

As the boss of Zhongshu Province, when Chen Shuda just arrived in the Menxia Province, all the officials of the Menxia Province rushed to greet Chen Shuda.

Chen Shuda ignored all the provincial officials and walked straight to Fang Xuanling's place.

The structure of Zhongshu Province and Menxia Province is similar, and Chen Shuda naturally knows where it is in the matter.

At this time, Fang Xuanling was drinking tea leisurely before the desk.

Seeing this scene, Chen Shuda became even more angry. Like a gust of wind, he rushed to the front of Fang Xuanling's case and stared angrily at Fang Xuanling.

It seems that there is an imminent thought of war.

Menxia provincial officials were shocked.

The relationship between Menxia Province and Zhongshu Province was not harmonious, and now Wei Zheng, who is the most combative, is not in Menxia Province. A knowledgeable official hurried out to look for Wei Zheng.

Chen Shuda glared at him, but Fang Xuanling looked calm.

When Chen Shuda saw that his glaring had failed, he slapped it heavily on the table.It's a pity that he has never practiced iron sand palms. At this time, the wood used in the case is basically Tuomu, and Tuomu is the material for making bow arms and shields.

Chen Shuda felt pain in his palm all of a sudden, his face twisted from the pain, and he roared at Fang Xuanling: "Fang Xuanling, you...do you know what you did just now?"

Fang Xuanling replied honestly: "Fall off, Tu Gui."

Chen Shuda pointed at Fang Xuanling's forehead and shouted, "Why did you reject His Majesty's edict?"

Fang Xuanling looked at Chen Shuda with an innocent face and said: "I am in the middle of the matter. It is my right to deny and return. Fang Xuanling is duty-bound to eat the king's salary and be loyal to the king.

Chen Shuda looked at Fang Xuanling solemnly and said: "It is true that there is a right to refute and return in the matter, but since Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty established this system, in the 30 years since Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, there has never been an edict that was sealed in the matter. Refuted."

Fang Xuanling grinned, revealing a huge smile, but said with a faint chill: "Because it's the first day I've just been a job under the door, and today this is the first one.!"

The officials of the Zhongshu Province continued to write the imperial edict in front of the officials of the subordinate provinces. Chen Shuda walked up to Fang Xuanling with the ink still wet on the imperial edict, and said arrogantly: "Your Majesty has an order. Province, do not refute the edict to recruit middle-aged men!"

Fang Xuanling sat down calmly, picked up the imperial edict, looked it up carefully, and then picked up the ink pen on the case table, and drew a big fork on this imperial edict.

Fang Xuanling raised his head and said to Chen Shuda: "Now, there is a second way."

Chen Shuda was angry.

The surrounding officials were all dumbfounded.

……

In the study of Chen Jiabao, Chen Ying sat on the sofa behind the table in the study, reclining lazily, holding imperial imperial edicts, edicts, and residence newspapers in his hand, and carefully flipping through them.

The eldest grandson Wugou quietly walked towards the study with a bowl of hen ginseng soup.Then he gently placed the bowl on the table in front of Chen Ying, and said softly: "Mr. Lang, take a rest..."

Chen Ying raised his head, and suddenly stared at Changsun Wugou's appearance, and was stunned.

Chen Ying asked aloud: "Why are you..."

Changsun Wugou knelt down and bowed down a little at a loss.

Chen Ying hurriedly got up and stretched out his hand to support his eldest grandson Wugou.

He never wanted to directly touch Changsun Wugou's hands, but felt that Changsun Wugou's hands were cold, as if they were a pair of dead hands.

Chen Ying frowned even deeper, and said coldly, "Why are you?"

The eldest grandson Wugou murmured: "It's... it's Sanniang... making slaves... slaves!"

Chen Ying let go of his eldest grandson Wugou, pressed his forehead with a headache, and said with a long sigh: "Don't be afraid, I was too tired that day, that's why...Since Sanniang asked you to stay, you can stay with peace of mind. You don't need to do the work of serving tea and water, the Chen residence has plenty of servants!"

The eldest grandson Wugou's eyes were red again, he hastily bowed his knees and said in thanks, "Thank you sir for your pity!"

Chen Ying said at a loss: "It's okay, you go down first!"

Looking at Chen Ying who was on the contrary embarrassed, the eldest grandson Wugou was no longer anxious, but felt amused, and asked a little strangely: "Is this concubine so scary? Your lord is facing a hundred thousand tigers and wolves, and a million strong enemies." , you can still command Ruoding, where is your aura in the Chinese military camp?"

Chen Ying forced a smile, summoned up his courage and said, "This is different. You are Princess Qin, and you are my sister-in-law. We live in the same room, so it is hard to avoid suspicion."

The eldest grandson Wugou summoned up his courage and said: "This concubine is willing and doesn't care about her status. She is able to serve your lord. Wugou is very lucky..."

Chen Ying shook his head and said: "You are also a well-educated person, I can tell you responsibly, I admit it, if I want to protect the safety of your mother and child, I will definitely protect you thoroughly!"

Just as he was speaking, Guo Luo's voice sounded outside the door: "My lord, please see Xu Jingzong, the doctor of Bibu!"

Chen Ying said: "Please come in quickly.

The eldest grandson Wugou saluted and said: "The concubine resigns!"

Chen Ying turned his head, stared at Changsun Wugou for two seconds, and then nodded, "Go down!"

Xu Jingzong came in, and at the same time saluted Chen Ying, he glanced at the eldest grandson Wugou who was slowly retreating, and sighed silently.

Chen Yingdao: "It's so late, what's the big deal in court?"

Xu Jingzong shook his head and said, "It's not an important matter in the court, but the bank!"

Chen Ying motioned Xu Jingzong to sit down and talk.

Xu Jingzong sat down and said calmly: "They are in a hurry, and they are starting to borrow money from our Tongli Bank!"

Chen Ying asked, "Is there any pledge?"

"Yes, shops, houses, fields, and minerals!" Xu Jingzong sighed and said, "It's just that the amount they borrowed is too large, and the subordinates dare not make decisions!"

"Big, how big can it be?" Chen Ying smiled disapprovingly: "As long as there is a pledge, I will give you as much as you want!"

For the details of the grain market war, Xu Jingzong was also the executor.

He knew very well that as long as the money was borrowed, those grain merchants would not be able to repay it even if they went bankrupt.

Xu Jingzong said hesitantly: "However, with such a large-scale bad debt, it may be difficult for Tongli Bank to turn around!"
