Man Tanghong

Chapter 59 I didn't have a choice before, but now I only want the top
Li Yuan seems to have given many benefits to the Yuwen scholar, but in fact he gave a chariot to serve as the emperor, and the rest is no different from not giving.

"I... know."

Yuwen Shiji bowed and said.

Li Yuanji nodded and said, "What should be done, my second brother and I have almost done it."

With that said, Li Yuanji took out a roster and handed it to Yuwen Shiji.

Yu Wenshi took the roster hesitantly.

Li Yuanji continued: "People who need to be leveled are all inside. My people will take them to see you later. You just need to show your face and let them see you. After I get the food, you will show your face again." Face, just give them the transfer paperwork."

What should be discussed, Li Shimin, Li Yuan, and Li Jiancheng have almost discussed it.

Although Li Jiancheng complained about the food that Li Yuanji and Li Shimin gave him, he finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

As long as he can get food, go to help the people in other places, promote his wisdom, and suffer a little loss, he will admit it.

Li Yuan naturally raised his hands and feet in favor.

In particular, Li Shimin told Li Yuan in the letter that as long as the concubine sons of the big families are accepted and the sons of the big families are discarded, civil strife can be caused by the big families, the strong and the weak, and the threat of the Tang Dynasty being threatened by the big families can be alleviated.

Li Yuan could not close his mouth happily.

Although Li Yuan is very generous, he is not big-hearted.

He felt it was right to be kind to his own people.

He felt it was right to be ruthless to those who did not give him face, and to be ruthless to his enemies.

On the issue of marriage, the big family severely refuted his face, and he always remembered this hatred.

Who is not a big family, who is not a powerful family?
It's a shame for my son of the Li family to marry your daughter of the five surnames.

Since you are shameless, don't blame me for slapping your face.

Li Yuan, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, plus Li Ji, the four most powerful people in Datang, all behind the scenes to promote this matter.

This matter should be finished quickly.

"I understand."

Yuwen Shiji put away the roster and nodded.

Li Yuanji told Yuwen Shiji a few more words before letting Yuwen Shiji leave.

As soon as Yuwen Shiji left, Li Yuanji immediately sent someone to summon Yuwenbao.

Yu Wenbao still had the carefree image of the second fool. When Li Yuanji handed over the roster to him, he happily agreed, and took two people to see Yu Wenshiji that night.

The next day, Li Yuanji sold two more official positions, and received [-] shi of grain.

Yu Wenbao is not a good person, and doing this kind of thing is to depend on others.

But all the people in Qi Wang's mansion who wanted to level up were all classified by him.

Whoever has food in his home that has been transported to Luoyang City will have priority.

Whoever benefits him is next.

If the benefits are not given, and there is no food in Luoyang City, then wait until the food arrives, or the benefits are in place, and then do it.

There are many children in the family of a wealthy family, and Li Yuanji sells his official positions wantonly. They will naturally find officials for many children in the family, so it is impossible for them to transport a batch of grain to Luoyang City.

After they have finished finding an official for one child, they will seek an official for the second child, so they have been transporting food to Luoyang City.

So after Yu Wenbao made this rule, the people from the big families could only urge the clan for food, and at the same time, take the food that was prepared for other children to seek officials, and give it to the children of Ping Tiao first.

Therefore, after the matter of leveling the official position started, Li Yuanji didn't need to wait, and the food would be recorded in the account immediately.

The official roads in various parts of Luoyang were also clogged with food convoys.

Everyone said that in the year of the catastrophe, everyone had no surplus in their hands; everyone said that the granaries all over the Tang Dynasty were empty, and there was not a grain of grain, so there was no grain in the Tang Dynasty.

But after seeing the convoy transporting grain to Luoyang City, no one could say that again.

The granary in Luoyang City, which was emptied by a thief named Li Shimin, was quickly filled with the spare no effort of the big family members.

There is too much food to put down.

With a big wave of his hand, Li Yuanji ordered the guards under him, as well as the newly formed soldiers of the Zuoyi Army, to eat dry meals three times a day.

Qu Tutong led a group of songs, while scolding Li Yuanji for being extravagant, he ate and drank while holding a bowl.

The people sent by Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng to transport food saw that Li Yuanji fed his subordinates three meals a day, each meal was dry, and their hearts were bleeding.

In the year of good harvest, the rich and powerful families dare not feed their servants and maids like this.

Those who can eat one dry meal and two thin meals a day are quite generous and rich.

Li Yuanji is more wealthy than a wealthy family, that is luxury.

"Your Highness...Your Highness, there are already more than four thousand people in our Left Commander's Mansion."

The front hall of Luoyang Palace.

Li Yuanji was reading the private letter sent by Li Shimin, and there was a sense of 'I'm so sour' between the lines.

Xie Shufang reported to Li Yuanji in a panic.

Li Yuanji grinned, put down the private message Li Shimin had given him, looked at Xie Shufang, and asked, "The Zuoyi Tongjun Mansion is full of 3000 people, how could there be so many more?"

Xie Shufang hurriedly said: "It should be that the soldiers are eating too well..."

The soldiers of King Qi Zuoyi's military mansion are still in the preparation stage. In addition to eating and training every day, they can also go home after training.

Because most of them are refugees, their families have just settled in Luoyang, and some of them are not familiar with the place, so they have to go back to take care of them after a while.

As soon as they returned, they blew Li Yuanji to death, and blew the life in the camp to death.

Then, the news that the soldiers of King Qi Zuoyi's military mansion ate three dry meals a day swept Luoyang like a hurricane.

Those who failed to catch up with the Qi Palace's recruitment had no choice but to sneak into the barracks with their brothers.

The clerks of the Zuoyitong Army Mansion were selected from among the refugees, and it was not easy for people from the village to drive out. When they met those who came up, they were called uncles, uncles, or ancestors, and it was not easy to drive out.

Then, the number of soldiers in King Qi Zuoyi's military mansion soon exceeded the standard.

"I didn't expect that letting the soldiers eat so well would lead to such a thing."

Li Yuanji also couldn't laugh or cry.

The reason why he let the soldiers eat better is also because most of the soldiers were refugees. They were hungry and full before, and they had been hungry for too long, and many of them were sallow and emaciated.

So he had to make the soldiers strong as soon as possible.

He also had enough food, so naturally he had to keep the soldiers well fed.

Xie Shufang saw that Li Yuanji didn't seem to be angry about this, so he hurriedly said: "You let the soldiers eat three meals a day, let alone humans, even dogs, they want to be around you and wag their tails at you."

Li Yuanji glared at Xie Shufang, "What kind of dog is not a dog? How can humans be compared with dogs."

Xie Shufang quickly admitted his mistake.

Li Yuanji pondered for a while, and said: "Since the quota is exceeded, let's recruit another army and open the left second army mansion, but only 500 people can be recruited."

Li Yuanji couldn't use all the people from Luoyang and the refugees from Luoyang. He had to leave some troops for the Xue brothers and the generals he would recruit later.

It is standard equipment for fierce generals to bring their own songs and personal soldiers.

Even if Li Yi knew that the Xue brothers were under his command and there was no possibility of turning back, he still had to remember the old relationship and ask the Xue brothers to bring some people over.

Others are no exception.

Just like Yu Chigong under Li Shimin, when he voted for Li Shimin, he brought four thousand healthy soldiers in one breath.

Li Shimin won one Wei Chigong and four thousand warriors.

Li Shimin can ignore the rules of the court and expand his own military mansion.

Li Yuanji didn't have that kind of prestige, so if he expands the military mansion, it's easy to be criticized.

In the case of deciding to develop wretchedly, it is better to keep a low profile.

"Here!"

Uncle Xie agreed.

Then go to the second recruitment.

Then, Luoyang went crazy.

Qu Tutong was also crazy.

In the middle of the night, when Li Yuanji was soundly asleep, Qu Tutong broke into Li Yuanji's residence, clamoring to see him.

After Li Yuanji was woken up, he ordered the guards at the door to let Qu Tun come in.

When Qu Tutong saw Li Yuanji, he hurriedly said, "Your Highness, Luoyang City is besieged!"

Li Yuanji was a little confused, blinked, "Huh?"

Qu Tutong said in a deep voice: "Outside the four gates of Luoyang City, there are now crowds of people. It is roughly estimated that there are no less than ten thousand people."

Li Yuanji was sober all of a sudden, someone gathered a crowd to rebel?Or are you going to gather crowds to grab food?

Li Yuanji stared and asked, "Are they making trouble? Have you asked what they are doing in Luoyang City?"

Qu Tutong said solemnly: "It's okay to make trouble, they say they are here to join the army."

It was also the first time for Qu Tutong to see tens of thousands of people joining the army together.

If he didn't know that Li Yuanji ate three meals a day for the soldiers of King Qi Zuoyi's military mansion, and that the Qi Wang mansion had posted a new recruiting notice, Qu Tutong would have thought that someone was gathering a crowd to rebel.

Li Yuanji also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he was here to join the army.

Li Yuanji smiled and said: "They are indeed here to join the army, you don't have to be so nervous."

Qu Tutong stared at Li Yuanji, and sighed: "My lord, your notice has only been posted for a day, and tens of thousands of people have come to vote, and after a few more days of publicity, I don't know how many people have come to vote.

At that time, tens of thousands of people will gather in Luoyang City, and you only recruit 500 people, how can the rest be reconciled.

At that time, they will either gather a crowd to force you to let them compete in the same field, or force you to accept them together.

Do you or not?

If you don't obey, they will have to go to heaven? "

Tens of thousands of people gather together, and even if nothing happens, something will happen to you.

Once there is a big disturbance, a hat that provokes a civil uprising will fall firmly on the head.

Qu Tutong is the guard of Luoyang, and this hat will be worn on his head, so he is naturally nervous.

The smile on Li Yuanji's face disappeared, and he frowned slightly.

He just wanted to find an excuse to accommodate the excess troops in the house, but he didn't expect to make such a mess.

Withdrawing the order now, those who came to join the army will not let it go.

If the order is not withdrawn, people will gather more and more, and sooner or later there will be chaos.

Li Yuanji thought about it for a while, and said: "In this way, you choose a hundred powerful warriors from your hands, and I will send out another hundred powerful warriors, and send them to various places in Luoyang overnight. People who joined the army competed with them, and if they were able to draw a tie, or win, they were admitted into the government.

Those who lose the fight, give them two mustaches and let them go home.

After a while, I will ask Xie Shufang to set up a ring outside the city, and let them start to compete immediately. "

This is a bad thing, but also a good thing.

In the past, Li Yuanji had no choice but to use whoever he had.

Now that he has something to choose, and there are quite a lot of people, he doesn't mind choosing the best from the best and bringing the bravest soldiers into the mansion.

Those who join the army are not as skilled as others, and they will not complain when they lose.

Give them two mustaches as rations to go home, and they will only be grateful for His Royal Highness Qi Wang's benevolence and righteousness.
