Defend the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 73
"If I don't take it back, in fact, I can't take it back."

Han Pingan stared at him closely, wondering what tricks he could play.

To Han Ping'an's surprise, Wu Tumu took out a notice: "Dare to ask Chang Shi, recruiting children to school, and providing meals, there is such a thing."

"Have."

"Then I and other members can send children to school?"

"Of course you can. I've sent someone to send you a letter. You don't want to send your baby here. You are worried that I, Han Pingan, will hold your nephew as a hostage. I am worried that I, Han Pingan, will use this as an excuse to occupy your family." slave."

I did have these worries before, but now and then, if you let you fool around, Yelebu will no longer be Yelebu.

Wu Tumu bowed, raised his head and said: "Since Chang Shi insists on going his own way, we and the rest of the people can only follow orders. Tomorrow, we will gather children and teenagers of the appropriate age to go to school. Not many, counting slaves and maidservants, there are only 4000 people .”

Han Pingan didn't expect that he would make such a move to make progress by retreating, so he couldn't help laughing: "Brother Wu, you have made a big change. You have sent so many people to school at once. Although it is only for three months, it is only for you I don't have that much food for them for three months."

"Isn't it possible to borrow Changshi?"

"I have borrowed everything I could, and I can't borrow that much even if I think about it."

"It doesn't matter, I wait for the tribes to gather together, and then go to Wudu, Wunushibi, Hu Luwu, Xia Xieqia and other tribes, not to mention one hundred and eighty thousand dou, even three to four million dou should be able to make up together."

"What about the interest?"

"Just like Baiyun Temple, borrow 140 dou this year, and pay back [-] dou by this time next year."

"What if I don't make it?"

"It's also the same as Chang Shi borrowing grain from Baiyun Temple, using the remaining fields, pastures, river valleys and Baisha City to repay the debt."

This guy is really good...

Han Ping'an raised his head and smiled, "What if I don't borrow it from you?"

Wu Tumu looked at the notice of recruiting students, and said meaningfully: "In addition to borrowing from us, who else can Chang Shi borrow from? It's not impossible if you don't want to borrow, but this way, Chang Shi will starve to death, Ye Le There are three or four thousand students in the department, or they can only go back on their promises and do not provide meals for the students."

If no meals are provided, no one will come to enroll, and no one will enroll, and there will be no talents.

Han Ping'an found out that he was being manipulated to death, so he couldn't help laughing and asked, "Is the interest negotiable?"

"This is the lowest, how to discuss."

"Then can we wait for two or three years before repaying, or pay some interest first next year?"

"Changshi can't treat one more favorably than another, just like how I borrowed from Baiyun Temple and those Sogdian merchants, I should also borrow from my followers."

"So I can't borrow it?"

"If you don't learn, you can't do it. Even if you can do it, many people will starve to death."

"But if I don't borrow so much next year, I will leave the house and go back and forth!"

"Don't talk about returning to Yele City, even if you return to Chang'an, Changshi is still Changshi. How much food should be paid to the Governor's Mansion, and how much tribute should I wait for the tribe, but it must first be deducted from the food owed by Changshi. "

This is a false conspiracy.

It was you who said to run the school, it was you who said to send people to school, and it was you who said to provide meals for three months.

As the governor of Yele's governor's office, you are running a state school under the administration of Yele's governor, so naturally you must enroll Yele's children, and you have to accept students from outside instead of accepting Yele's children.

People have to eat when they are delivered, and if there is no food, people will starve to death.

The most amazing thing is that most of the food he lent you was eaten by their people.

If they can pay back at that time, they will earn.

If you don't come up by then, their people will not only eat your three months' food in vain, but they will also be able to take over the Yele department with confidence.

Han Pingan didn't expect such a talent in the Yele department, stood up and said with a smile: "Since there is no choice, and I don't want to go back on my word, then I will borrow from you."

Wu Tumu thought that Han Ping'an would retreat in the face of difficulties. He thought that even if this trick could not drive away those Turkic people, it would also discredit their father and son. It would not be so easy to control the Yele tribe in the future. He never expected Han Pingan really dared to borrow, but was stunned for a while.

Han Pingan likes to deal with such self-righteous people, and patted him on the arm: "I plan to send three to four thousand people here, right? All of them are babies. When they are growing up, the appetite will not be small, less than three months." Said to eat 4000 buckets of grain.

This year, the villages outside the city suffered from military disasters again. I want to survive until next year’s autumn harvest. 20 dou should be enough, so let’s borrow 20 dou. "

"Long Shi has to think about it, the annual income of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is only [-] to [-] Dou!"

"Think about it, I will leave the house when the time comes. The fields and pastures are yours, and Baisha City is also yours. Besides, most of the food I borrowed from you was eaten by your slaves. How do you deal with this business?" No matter what."

"Chang Shi, I don't mean to embarrass you, I just don't want to see the inheritance left by my ancestors being destroyed by outsiders..."

"No need to explain, I know."

"Since Chang Shi is determined to borrow it, I have a heartless request."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Three days later, go to Yele City to sign a contract, and invite General Wang, Wu Du, Wu Nu Shibi, Hu Luwu, Xia Xieqia and other tribe leaders, as well as several Zorozheng witnesses."

"Afraid that I will renege on my debt?"

"20 dou is not a small amount. My father and those uncles need to have an explanation."

"Since it's such a laborious task, I might as well borrow more. In addition to the 20 buckets of grain, I'll borrow another 50 silver, which will be converted into grain by this time next year and returned with the principal and interest."

This was a contract signed in front of one-third of the leaders of the Jumi tribe in Anxi, and he dared not renege on his promise.

50 silver coins and 20 buckets of grain may seem like a lot, but if he doesn't pay, the entire Yele tribe will be paid at that time.

Wu Tumu didn't believe that he could turn so much grain into it. Even if he could turn into millions of dollars, he couldn't buy so much grain and return it. He decided to hold out his hand like a Sogdian businessman: "50 yuan!" It should be possible to collect money together."

"Then it's a deal, see you in Yele City in three days."

……

Wu Tumu left, and An Mishan and Su Dasushi who followed him were dumbfounded.

Li Yu and An Yun'er, who were planning to call them for dinner, were confused after understanding the ins and outs.

The false Taoist priest who hurried over to ask about the ancestral secret method and alchemy even thought he was really crazy this time.

"Borrowing 20 buckets of grain at once, including the interest, will pay back 28 buckets in the autumn harvest next year, but the harvest of the villages outside the city and the grain tributes from these small leaders may not add up to [-] buckets. What will you get then? Pay it back? What's more, it's not just food, but also money!"

"Yes, Saburo, you have been fooled."

"They plan to find so many people to witness. This is pulling so many Jiji tribes against us. At that time, they will not be able to blame them."

"This is a covenant. If we renege on the debt, who will trust us in the future?"

……

Everyone thinks it's a trap when you say something to me.

I don't think this is a pit, in fact this is a pit.

Knowing that you are still not up, I will lend it to you, and when you are not up, I can take over the foundation left by Cao Wulan.

In Han Ping'an's view, this is simply a piece of cake that has fallen from the world. After thinking about it secretly, he raised his head and smiled and said, "I didn't think about repudiating the debt. They came to reason with us, and we have to reason with them. "

An Yun'er became anxious and shook his arm: "But what they want is the entire Yele Department!"

"It's not something they can leave if they want, as long as I don't pay back the food when the time comes.

"You're not a god, you can't change so much food, let alone change so much money!"

"The grain is planted, not transformed. As for the money, I didn't plan to pay it back. I made it very clear to him that when the time comes, it will be converted into grain and returned with interest."

"But our land is very large, but we don't have many fertile fields, and the total amount is only more than [-] tu. Not even enough to pay the interest.”

An Mishan's calculations are correct. The Shangtian in Guannei can only harvest more than two hundred catties of grain per mu, and Yele's land is barren, so it can only grow widely and harvest little.

When the weather is good, you can only harvest sixty or seventy catties of grain per mu at most, so farming here is not a matter of mu, but of land.

Han Ping'an was not worried. In fact, he had thought about turning "air into bread" when he was a child.

It's just that in Xiaobolu at that time, and later in Yele City, I was surrounded by either Dashi with terrifying learning ability or Tubo with equally terrifying learning ability, and I didn't have that condition, so I didn't dare to make a big move easily.

Now that we have our own territory, we have the conditions to turn "air into bread", and the situation in the pass is so critical, it will be cold if we don't make a big move, so as soon as we arrive in Baisha City, let the old lady and Qu Tong take a few craftsmen to go. Find all kinds of minerals needed for "air into bread".

Seeing that the big guy not only thought he was crazy, but was also scared crazy by himself, Han Pingan couldn't help laughing and said: "I have the secret method of the ancestors, which can make the land fertile and double the harvest of crops. I'm not bragging to you , my Yele tribe can support 10 or 70 people, let alone [-] people."

The false Taoist priest immediately regained his spirits, grabbed him tightly and asked, "The secret method of the ancestral family can make the land fertile!"

"The secret method of the ancestral court is too profound, and I can't explain it clearly in a while."

"What about alchemy?"

"You are a Daoist, you should know that your family's supernatural powers are profound and unpredictable, which cannot be described by mere alchemy. This is not just alchemy, nor is it just the alchemy of Dashi, but the interpretation of the principles of all things and the refining of all things in the world. university question."

Interpret the principles of all things!

Refining everything in the world!

Is that right? The Taoists must have such great supernatural powers. The false Taoist leader thinks so deeply and looks intoxicated.

Han Ping'an knew very well that anyone in this world who could truly believe in these things might be a false Taoist. He patted his hand lightly and said in a melodious tone: "Because the secret law of the ancestors is so unpredictable, it may not be possible to spend a lifetime." Peeping at the threshold, those Taoist masters who see their heads and tails gradually form three factions.

One group studies the principles of all things, referred to as the School of Physics; the other group studies the refining of all things, known as the School of Chemistry; the other group studies arithmetic and geometry, and wants to prove that what they have obtained is true by calculation, referred to as the School of Mathematics.

In fact, there are thousands of roads, and all paths lead to the same goal. What they get is the true biography, and they are all right.

As long as you learn the three schools of mathematics, reasoning, and chemistry, you can turn waste into treasure and turn a stone into gold.It can make the barren land fertile and benefit the people of the world.Being able to refine the elixir can make people live longer.It can even attract thunder from the sky, causing the invading enemy to be wiped out in the blink of an eye! "

Mysterious and mysterious, as soon as you hear it, you know that this is the right way.

The false Taoist asked eagerly: "Then what school have I practiced these years, and which school is the mantra I recite every day?"

Han Pingan said: "The secret law of the ancestral court has been lost even at Mount Longhu. Even if it is not lost, everyone can learn it. The mantras you recite every day are actually fabricated by some outer disciples under the guise of the founder of Sanqing. It’s just used to cheat and abduct to make money. In the end, they were so unlucky that they couldn’t even fool those monks.”

"Sanlang, have you learned?"

"Speaking of which, I have a great opportunity. I have dabbled in all three subjects of mathematics, physics and chemistry, and have learned a little bit."

"Teach me, you know, I am devoted to the Tao, and my mind is clear!"

"I know that you have the strongest heart. I originally planned to start a prefectural school on top of the state school, but this knowledge cannot be imparted casually."

"This is natural. My Taoist secret method cannot be taught easily."

"That's why I plan to establish Anxi Orthodox Academy on top of the state school. I will also be the dean, and you will be the vice president. Select talented and dedicated students from the state school to study mathematics, physics and chemistry."
