Man Tanghong

Chapter 639 People are always driven by interests
The imperial court generally chooses to turn a blind eye to this kind of matter. If it is necessary to investigate for a certain purpose, it will leak the news in advance, and the generals below will take advantage of the investigators before they arrive. , Beheaded some captives to make up for their heads.

It is really impossible to make up for it, and if it is found out by the court, it is generally not a serious crime.

As long as you don't kill the good and pretend to be meritorious, as long as you don't lose the battle and falsely report some military exploits, the court will not mobilize people to pursue it.

Over time, they developed the habit of making false reports. When false reports were needed to boost morale and stabilize people's hearts, the imperial court would even personally make false reports.

Therefore, things like exaggerating and falsely reporting the amount are very common in Datang, and they are nothing, and they are rarely held accountable.

Therefore, Yang Shidao didn't think he was wrong in falsely reporting the amount. He felt that the reason why Li Yuanji was chasing the amount was purely to help the people under him to excuse and pave the way for subsequent negotiations.

Yang Miaoyan was not deceived, and she didn't help anymore. If the clan wanted to occupy the remaining property of the Li family in Zhaozhou, it would be bloody.

This made him feel pain, but there was nothing he could do.

Because Li Yuanji occupies the absolute initiative, and the remaining property of the Li family in Zhaozhou is very attractive, the family will never give up.

So bleeding is inevitable.

Therefore, the real way out for the Yang family is to divide the expenses into houses and turn the Yang family into the Hongnong Yang family and the Zhaozhou Yang family.

Yang Shidao gritted his teeth secretly, knowing that it would be impossible not to bleed, his tone was a little low and humiliated: "We are willing to donate some food..."

Li Yuanji looked at Yang Miaoyan dotingly and smiled, then looked at Yang Shidao and said coldly: "Since the princess has spoken, I will give you another chance.

"do not!"

"Your Highness, this matter is..."

Li Yuanji seemed to be only willing to sell Yang Miaoyan's face.

According to the agreement between Yang and Li Yuanji, Yang has actually received the benefits he deserved, but he is greedy and wants to get more.

Yang Shidao hesitated to speak.

Li Yuanji said with a cold smile: "You guys are full of food after Su Dingfang and others, now Su Dingfang and others take a little food from you and you are not happy.

Chang Guang stared in astonishment, and kept saying, "This...how can this be done?"

Then don't eat it at all, just go back and forth wherever you go. "

Still, a big gain comes with a big payoff.

Yang Shidao gritted his teeth and said, "620 stones..."

Yang Shidao gritted his teeth and said, "We would rather..."

It's just that there is not much sincerity in the tone.

The reason why Chang Guang spoke vaguely was because she didn't know the exact number, whether it was [-] stones or [-] stones, or she was stuck in the middle, and also because she lied just now and was immediately exposed again. A little embarrassed.

Li Yuanji's meaning is very simple, that is, he wants Yang to give him a price that can make his heart beat, and he will hand over all the properties of Li's in Zhaozhou to Yang.

But Yang Miaoyan is the only one who can give Li Yuanji a step in the Hall of Martial Virtue.

Yang Shidao was asked all of a sudden, and he never expected that Li Yuanji would beat him up.

Li Yuanji waved his hand and said coldly: "Let's forget it, after all, the Yang family is also the natal family of the princess, if you are not willing, I will not force you.

Changguang didn't save face in front of his younger brother today, and was forced to say a few words by his younger brother. He was very unhappy, and when he left, he was unwilling and unhappy, and it was Yang Shidao who forced her to leave.

Seeing her husband nodding, Chang Guang said vaguely, "Should...shouldn't be 10,000+...should be only [-] to [-] stones..."

At the same time, Su Dingfang and others were asked to send Yang's people in Zhaozhou out of the country.

As for merging everything from the Li family in Zhaozhou with the Yang family to make the Yang family stronger and standing above the five surnames, Qiwang and the Guanlong Eight Great Families, then the Yang family dare not think about it, and can't think about it.

At this time, sending Yang's people in Zhaozhou out of the country, isn't it just to make Yang spit out all the food he ate?

If he loses his wife and loses his army, then the Yang family will suffer a lot.

I will order Su Dingfang to return the food that was forcibly robbed from Yang to Yang.

Also ask Your Highness to give us a way to survive. "

In case Yang's people run into trouble in Zhaozhou, you will plant spoils on Su Dingfang and others. "

Li Yuanji waved his hand, indicating that Yang Shidao could leave with Chang Guang.

Li Yuanji didn't admit it, and Yang couldn't force Li Yuanji's head.

Obviously, Li Yuanji secretly negotiated with them and asked them to help deal with the Li family of Zhaozhou. The price was part of the family property of the Li family of Zhaozhou.

But before he finished speaking, Li Yuanji said decisively: "But what? Could it be that I ordered you to do it?"

After Yang Shidao closed his mouth, Li Yuanji looked at Changguang again and said, "You are my elder sister, and you keep telling me the truth, then I will give you face and justice.

The most important thing is that even if the Yang family is in charge, the Yang family can't admit it. They help the royal family deal with other big families in private, and take the opportunity to embezzle the property of other big families. However, if the Yang family admits it, they will become The target of public criticism.

Li Yuanji nodded, and said with a half smile: "Yes, there are parts and wholes, which are clearer than the report I got."

However, even the distribution of expenses is a great thing for Yang.

Yang Shidao could tell that Li Yuanji was still willing to talk, but the words had already reached the point of tearing his face. As the person in power, Li Yuanji couldn't walk down the steps by himself, so someone had to build the steps for Li Yuanji .

This is definitely a great thing for the Yang family. As long as the Yang family can absorb all the properties of the Li family in Zhaozhou, the background will be doubled immediately. Or set up another room.

Now that Zhaozhou's Li family has been dealt with, Li Yuanji actually has the intention of turning his back on him.

It was Yang's own decision to transport grain into Zhaozhou privately, and manage the various industries left by the Li family in Zhaozhou, and he did not inform Li Yuanji.

Yang Shidao secretly scolded Li Yuanji for being shameless, and the alarm bells rang out.

That's why he has mixed feelings.

Yang Shidao was so stunned that he had nothing to say.

The Yang family would not agree at all.

Yang Shidao had already heard that Li Yuanji felt that Yang ate too much in Zhaozhou and refused to bleed, so he decided to tear his face apart, and immediately he didn't care about waiting for Li Yuanji to let him speak, and took the initiative to cup his hands and said: "Your Highness , My Yang family paid a lot of money to enter Zhaozhou. If you send all my Yang family members out of the country, then my Yang family will lose everything.

Just imagine, when other aristocratic families are still seeking development, the Yang family has already split into two branches, each of which can compete with other aristocratic families, how powerful the Yang family must be.

Yang Shidao felt that if the granaries of the Yang family and those close to the Yang family were not emptied, Li Yuanji's appetite might not be satisfied.

Li Yuanji didn't talk to Changguang any more, but looked at Master Yang and said, "Is it seventy thousand stones or eighty thousand stones?"

He can't make a decision on this matter alone, he must discuss it with other brothers and some remaining elders before making a decision.

Yang Shidao took a deep breath, slightly cupped his hands at Yang Miaoyan, and said, "May I ask you to tell us something fair."

If it is just to strengthen Hongnong Yang's family, it will be a dead end.

You think about it carefully, discuss it carefully, and give me a price that I will not refuse, and I will let Su Dingfang let go of Zhaozhou and let you pass. "

Faced with Yang Shidao's request, Yang Miaoyan said angrily: "Next time if you lie to me again, I will never see you again."

Speaking of this, Li Yuanji stared at Yang Shidao and asked, "Then let me ask you, why is your Yang family transporting so much grain to Zhaozhou at this time?
Zhaozhou is now the place where the Fourth World War was fought. Grain merchants from all over the country are going around, but you Yang family are constantly digging in. Are you trying to join the enemy?

Yang Shidao hurriedly said that he didn't dare.

Or is it that you have any connection with the rebels in Zhaozhou, or that the rebels in Zhaozhou are supported by you at all? "

Li Yuanji said indifferently: "Why does this sound like perfunctory?"

Li Yuanji did not violate the agreement, but it was Yang who violated the agreement.

The Yang family also paid a lot for embezzling the family property of the Li family in Zhaozhou.

Since Li Yuanji had given Yang such great benefits, Yang would also have to pay a huge reward.

As he spoke, he smiled at Yang Miaoyan.

I don't want the concubine to be looked down upon when she returns to her natal home. "

Yang Miaoyan pretended not to hear it, hugged Li Yuanji's elbow with both hands and said, "Lang, look..."

Yang Shidao was stunned for a moment, and then said with mixed joy and sorrow: "I understand, I will go back and discuss with the people in the clan."

As the daughter-in-law of the Yang family, she occupies part of the family property that the Yang family embezzled from the Li family in Zhaozhou, Chang Guang would never agree to this matter.

"Go, remember to be quick, because I can't wait for you, Mrs. Yang, for long."

Since Li Yuanji refused to let go, he could only ask Yang Miaoyan to make peace, otherwise there would be no way to talk about this matter.

Yang Miaoyan had already heard that the matter was not as simple as what Yang Shidao and Chang Guang said, so she didn't talk anymore, facing Li Yuanji's smile, she just rolled her eyes coquettishly.

The Li family in Longxi is now a royal family, how could they allow a wealthy family to stand above them, not to mention that this wealthy family was also a branch of the Yang family of the former Sui royal family.

Because once the Yang family stands above the Qiwang of the Five Surnames and the Eight Great Masters of Guanlong, it means that the Yang family also stands above the Li family of Longxi.

However, I don't have time to chatter with you.

As soon as Yang Shidao and Changguang left, Yang Miaoyan began to complain indignantly, "Why are they all like this? They don't even want to lose their face for some money, and they are plotting against me. Thanks to me, I have something good to think about." them."

Yang Miaoyan was unhappy, very unhappy.

She treats Yang Shidao and others as relatives, but Yang Shidao and others treat her as a fool, a tool for Yang's profit, how could she be happy.

"Human, it's like this, you just need to be more careful in the future."
