Man Tanghong

Chapter 45 You know what a fart!

When Han Liang heard Li Yuanji's words, he hurriedly wanted to explain.

Li Yuanji didn't give Han Liang a chance to explain, he stared at Han Liang and said, "I gave you the power to supervise the transportation of food and grass, but you use other things as food and grass for the army, do you have to inform me in advance? "

During the expedition, if other things are used as food and grass in the middle, they must be reported.

In case there is a problem with the food of the soldiers during the battle, it is very likely that the enemy will seize the opportunity and be caught off guard.

So this kind of thing must be reported to the commander in chief and to the commander in chief of the rear army.

Han Liang didn't report to Li Yuanji, and was caught by Li Yuanji. Li Yuanji didn't have a temper when he talked about it.

"This matter is indeed negligent by the minister. The minister will report to the commander and ask the commander to punish him."

Han Liang himself was wronged, so he could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

Yu Zhining gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Li Yuanji glanced at the two of them, and said again: "I have ordered the Luoyang Order to raise food and grass around Luoyang. Before the war, the food and grass will be given priority to the refugees in the city. After the war, I will ask the Luoyang Order to allocate a part to supply the army." .

You don't have to worry about big troubles due to insufficient food and grass. "

Han Liang hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

By doing this, Li Yuanji made up for Han Liang's mistakes, and Han Liang naturally had to thank him.

It's not that Li Yuanji took Han Liang's faults on himself in a foolish way, it's because he knows what grain and grass mean to the army, and what the conquest of Liu Heita means to Datang this time.

If Liu Heita's arrogance cannot be destroyed in one fell swoop in this conquest, those people with ulterior motives in other places will definitely take the opportunity to make troubles and bring chaos to the Tang Dynasty.

As a member of the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, enjoying the supreme power provided by the Tang Dynasty, as well as the inexhaustible prosperity and wealth, of course the interests of the Tang Dynasty must be considered.

Moreover, once people with ulterior motives from all over the place take the opportunity to make troubles and cause chaos in the Tang Dynasty, the unlucky ones will be the people all over the place.

After experiencing one war after another, the people everywhere have suffered so much that they cannot suffer any more.

"Okay, let's go down."

Li Yuanji waved to Han Liang.

Han Liang immediately left with Yu Zhining.

After Han Liang and Yu Zhining made such a fuss, Li Yuanji wasn't in a good mood anymore.

Called a group of guards, rushed to the place where the refugees were resettled overnight, confirmed that the Luoyang order was doing its best to resettle the refugees, and did not take the opportunity to make any trouble, Li Yuanji took the guards to the side hall of Luoyang Palace to settle down .

Not long after Li Yuanji fell asleep, the rooster crowed and it was dawn.

When he was woken up in a daze, it was already afternoon.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw two long, big, bloody things shaking in front of him.

Li Yuanji punched him subconsciously.

Xie Shufang let out a scream, and fell to the ground, but the two blood dripping things in his hands were held tightly in his arms, and did not fall to the ground.

Li Yuanji heard the screams and took a closer look, only to realize that it was Xie Shufang.

"Why are you dangling two bloody things in front of my eyes early in the morning?"

Li Yuanji asked depressedly.

Xie Shufang got up with a bitter face, held up two bloody things, and said to Li Yuanji: "General Qu Tu said that these things have magical effects on men, so I asked the minister to bring them to His Highness."

"what……"

Li Yuanji was ready to reprimand without paying attention, but in the middle of speaking, he immediately realized what Xie Shufang was holding.

Li Yuanji immediately became interested, "Cut it from that beast?"

Xie Shufang hurriedly said, "One is from a tiger and the other is from a bear."

Good guy, a tiger and a bear just let you do this, and they were physically castrated.

Only the Tang people dared to make such a disaster.

It is indeed a good thing.

"Take it down and let someone clean it up, and go out and find a big family to exchange for food."

Li Yuanji ordered.

Xie Shufang hurriedly said: "Your Highness, won't you eat it? General Qu Tu said that it is best to eat it fresh, and it will be more effective if mixed with blood."

Li Yuanji glared at Xie Shufang, and said angrily, "Do you think I can be of use now?"

Xie Shufang was taken aback for a moment, and said awkwardly: "It's my negligence."

Li Yuanji was just at the age of full-bloodedness, so he really didn't need this thing.

If he ate it just for the sake of freshness, his blood would not rush up like crazy.

So things are good things, but Li Yuanji doesn't need them now, and there's no need to bring them back to Chang'an.

As Li Yuanji, there is no shortage of such things wherever he goes.

"How are the beasts in the Royal Garden cleaned up?"

Li Yuanji asked.

Xie Shufang reported: "Less than [-]% are left..."

Li Yuanji was taken aback, frowned and said, "So few?"

According to the breeding scale of the Royal Forest Garden and the number of soldiers and horses led by Qu Tutong, Li Sixing, and Luo Shixin, it would take at least seven or eight days to clear the beasts inside.

Xie Shufang said: "When the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty besieged Luoyang, I already hunted once. The defenders guarding the Royal Forest Garden also neglected their duties. Not only did they let people go hunting without permission, but they also hunted and sold the beasts.

So not much left. "

Li Yuanji pondered for a while, and then ordered: "You take people to take down all the defenders of the Royal Forest Garden, conduct a thorough investigation, and those who dereliction of duty will be dismissed from office, and their property will be confiscated.

One should send food to the Luoyang order to relieve the refugees, and the money will be given to the soldiers who accompanied the Luoyang order to resettle the refugees for the past two days.

Then go and send a message to Li Sixing, asking him to lead people to cooperate with Ma Zhou and Luoyang orders to resettle all the refugees who escaped from Hebei. "

"Here!"

Xie Shufang bowed and agreed.

With Li Sixing, Ma Zhou, and Luoyang Ling as three officials, plus a group of cavalry from Prince Qi's Mansion, plus the local government, they should be able to barely resettle the refugees.

After Li Yuanji explained the matter, he didn't ask any more questions.

Quietly in the Luoyang Palace, waiting for the big households from all over the country to deliver food to the door, quietly waiting for Li Shimin to lead the army to arrive.

……

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Liu Heitai broke Xiangzhou.

On the first day of the first lunar month, Liu Heikai proclaimed himself king in Xiangzhou. All civil and military officials were restored to their original posts, and Mingzhou was established as their capital.Establish laws and regulations to preside over government affairs, and all follow the system of the Xia regime.

At the same time, the soldiers pointed directly at Weizhou.

The fourth day of the first month.

Li Shimin led the Chinese army under his command and rushed to the outside of Luoyang city.

What he saw and heard along the way made Li Shimin feel indescribable in words.

Before going out for the expedition, Li Shimin knew that a large number of refugees from Hebei would inevitably flow into Luoyang. For this reason, he mobilized a large number of capable ministers and officials to cooperate with the yamen in various places in Luoyang to resettle the refugees.

But as soon as he entered Taolin, he found something was wrong.

On the official road leading to Luoyang, not a single refugee could be seen.

On the contrary, there are quite a few cavalry and local government servants wandering on the official road.

After Li Shimin asked someone to ask, he found out that it was his younger brother who ordered the officials in the house and the subordinates under his command to force the officials of various government offices to resettle the refugees.

Officials from all over the country had to follow suit.

Li Shimin was surprised and wanted to ask officials from all over the country what they thought of Li Yuanji.

Li Shimin was almost shocked by the answer he got.

An official who was forced by Li Yuanji to take out all his family's food to help refugees, not only did not speak ill of Li Ji, but kept praising Li Yuanji.

This is the first time Li Shimin discovered that being a villain can actually attract the praise of the victim.

Li Shimin felt that there might be something tricky in it, so he immediately sent someone to track it down.

After tracing and interrogating, Li Shimin finally knew the key points.

Those are the officials who were forced by Li Yuanji to take out all the food in their families to help the refugees. Some people in the family took out more food and went to Li Yuanji to buy an official.

From the fifth grade, [-] shi of grain, and so on.

It is also the officials of King Qi's Mansion, Bingzhou, and Xiangzhou Road that belong to King Qi.

Li Shimin felt that with the notoriety of the Qi Palace, no one would be willing to serve as an official under Li Yuanji.

But when Li Shimin entered the land under the Luoyang order, he realized that the kind of official that no one wanted to be in his eyes was almost sold out.

Not only are the official positions almost sold out, but even the food needed to obtain official positions has also increased.

The big families in Luoyang actually don't have much food in their hands, but they can't stand the fact that they have many in-laws.

When it was confirmed that there was a fool who exchanged the fifth-rank official position for food, the big family members of the Luoyang family went crazy.

One by one, they called their friends and friends to raise food.

The food from the prefectures around Luoyang that had not suffered from military disasters frantically poured into Luoyang.

People from the Yang family of Hongnong in Guozhou used [-] shi of grain to obtain an official position in Xiangzhou Road from Li Yuanji under the name of their mother's family.

Then Hongnong Yang's people escorted another five thousand shi of grain to Luoyang.

The reason is that when people from the Hongnong Yang family went to find Li Yuanji to buy an official, Li Yuanji went crazy on the spot, saying that he was also the son-in-law of the Hongnong Yang family. Did you go on an expedition?

Even if people from the Hongnong Yang family told Li Yuanji secretly that they had made an unknown deal with Li Shimin, Li Yuanji still arbitrarily asked the Hongnong Yang family to send him a batch of grain, otherwise he would go to Xiangzhou Road People from the Hongnong Yang family who are officials wear small shoes.

Li Shimin saw Hongnong Yang's people escorting a carload of cars with Yang flags into Luoyang City, and he was in a bad mood.

When he sent someone to Hongnong Yang to raise food and grass, Hongnong Yang's people killed him and said that there was no food. Kou Kou Swish took out [-] shi of grain.

She also raised her head and told him that if it weren't for the fact that he was Yang's son-in-law, the benefits he promised would be worth [-] shi of grain.

Li Shimin's face is only worth [-] shi of grain.

Li Yuanji didn't even give him any face, and extorted five thousand stones abruptly.

"You two ladies, your natal family is a bit leaky!"

Li Shimin watched Hongnong Yang's grain transport convoy disappearing at the gate of Luoyang city, and sighed in his heart.

"His Royal Highness King Qi dares to confer an official position in private, this is a serious crime!"

Chang'an Ling Wang Xu, who was far behind Li Shimin, scolded him with a straight face.

Li Shimin suddenly turned his head, glared at Wang Xu, and cursed, "You know what!"
