Chapter 239 What Is Money?

No matter which dynasty or generation of generals are worried about the death of rabbits.

And very worried.

Therefore, creating a powerful but controllable enemy for the emperor has always been something that the generals have to do with all their might.

To be honest, Goguryeo’s threat to Datang is too small. As long as they dare to leave the icy and snowy area and shorten the supply line of the Tang army, the generals of Datang will generally be happy with Goguryeo’s attack and have determination. There is also confidence that they cannot escape back alive.

Now, the Goguryeo people know that Datang has always had bad intentions for them, and they are in the classic position of long distance and close attack. If Datang beats them from time to time, they will be sorry for this ancestral precept.

Therefore, the Goguryeo people built a Great Wall on the border, and were always ready to deal with the Tang Dynasty's attack.

Since the people of Goguryeo could not take the initiative to provoke wars, there would be no room for the many out-of-the-ordinary warriors in the Tang Dynasty.

A traitor like Ashina Helu only appeared in a few or a dozen years, and they could not be expected to make the emperor attach importance to the general group.

Therefore, after all the calculations, it can only be a Tibetan.

Tubo has a border with the Tang Dynasty in western Sichuan, but the Tubo people here have always claimed to be bullied by the Tang people.

Another place that borders Tubo is Tuyuhun. Although he was beaten by Emperor Taizong in the eighth year of Zhenguan, Fu Yun, the king of Tuyuhun, was completely defeated in the ninth year of Zhenguan. He ran to Shanshan and was strangled to death.

Emperor Taizong did not assign Tuyuhun to the state capital of Tang Dynasty because of the epidemic. Instead, Fu Yun's eldest son, Murong Shun, led the Tuyuhun people from the east to live in Fucheng and was named the king of Xiping County.

Later, Murong Shun was not very obedient, so he killed Murong Shun and let his son continue to be the king of Xiping County. Maybe he thought that too many Tuyuhun kings had been killed, so he married Princess Honghua to the king of Xiping County to make up for it. Later, Princess Jincheng and Princess Jinming were successively married to the two sons of King Xiping as compensation.

This is a very annoying thing for the generals. After all, Tuyuhun is still the Jimi country, not the native land of the Tang Dynasty.

In order to make the emperor nervous, everyone tacitly made a story about Tubo seriously threatening Tuyuhun, and then threatening the land of Tang Hexi, and the Western Regions.

Li Jingye should know about this, so this guy simply went to Qinghaitou to rob Lu Dongzan's daughter without stopping. It would be best to cause a war between Tuyuhun and Tubo, and then let Datang and Tubo fight The protracted battle will stabilize the basics of these veterans.

Li Zhi should also know about this, so he has been thinking about attacking Goguryeo instead of fighting Tubo.

The veterans have all experienced the battles before the liberation of the Sui Dynasty. They knew how much power Emperor Sui Yang used to attack Goguryeo, but failed, resulting in the death of Emperor Sui Yang and his family.

Emperor Taizong also attacked Goguryeo back then. Although he returned with a great victory, it was a pity that he was not able to destroy Goguryeo.

Moreover, the harsh climate in Liaodong also left a deep impression on the veterans who participated in the war.

Therefore, the veterans hoped to fight the Tubo people in Tuyuhun and Dafeichuan, and they were unwilling to go to Liaodong to climb the ice and lie on the snow to fight the Goguryeo people.

Now, Li Jingye is about to open this huge magic box to fight against the Tibetans with his own hands. '

Yun Chu knew about the battle that the veterans thought would be victorious. The battle in Dafeichuan not only ruined Xue Rengui's invincible reputation, but also became a stain that Li Zhi could never erase in his life. An eternal blemish on this bright pearl of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

"If you give birth to a daughter, you must marry your neighbor, and if you give birth to a boy, you will be buried with herbs. Don't you see, in Qinghai, no one has collected the bones in ancient times. The new ghosts bother the wronged old ghosts and cry, and the sky is cloudy and rainy, and the sound is chirping!"

And Du Fu's "Song of Soldiers and Chariots" firmly nailed them to the pillar of shame in history.

It was only now that Yunchu understood why Li Ji had to expel Li Jingye from the family, and why Li Jingye had to be associated with him.

His grandparents and grandchildren have long had a tacit understanding, even if they didn't, Yunchu still doesn't believe that Li Ji would know nothing about Li Jingye's affairs in Tuyuhun.

"People are just bullying you, a fool with no roots." Rourou lay on the floor, put her feet on the warm fire wall, and poured wolfberry soup into her mouth upside down.

Yun Chu also took off his boots in a gentle manner, lay on the wooden floor, with his feet on the warm wall, and drank wolfberry soup one by one.

Regardless of whether wolfberry soup is useful or not, it is a kind of comfort for married men. Anyway, men have been drinking it since the Han Dynasty. After drinking it for 300 years after the Tang Dynasty, no one has died of drinking wolfberry soup. .

"Officer, it's too young, money, too little, people, not enough." Yun Chu took a sip of wolfberry soup sadly.

Gentlely said: "There is no other way. You are about to start writing. At this time, you are already an official from the sixth rank. What else are you not satisfied with? The speed of your promotion is already rare in the Tang Dynasty." gone."

Yun Chu spat out a goji berry that he accidentally drank into his mouth and asked, "Tell me, how can I get promoted quickly now?"

Gently sighed and said: "I also want to know, after all, I am now an official of the eighth rank, and I am older than Wang Ba in the Weihe River.

I think you should pay a visit to Liu Rengui. To be honest, I was looking through documents recently. I wanted to find some black material about Liu Rengui, but after three days of searching, I couldn’t find anything. I admire this guy. To be honest, he can survive until now because of the help of ghosts and gods.

According to my understanding, anyone who can't die many times will surely shine in the future. "

"Why do you say that?"

"Heaven will send a great mission to the people of Sri Lanka, and they will definitely exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their bodies, and empty their bodies. They will definitely not let them die."

"Okay, I'll go find him to discuss the future development of Anyefang, and ask him, by the way, whether the land in Chang'an County can be linked with the land in Wannian County to grow more cotton.

are you going? "

Rourou closed her eyes and waved her hands: "I won't go, we are not on the same road, and there is a high possibility that we will be enemies in the future."

"What?"

"Because he is in Shizhong now, as long as he is in Shizhong, he must be the enemy of my family."

Seeing that Rourou had slapped a document on his face, Yunchu turned over, put on his boots, and went straight to Xishi to find Liu Rengui.

There is no comparison between the messy West Market and the neat and clean East Market, just as there is no comparison between a vegetable market and a big supermarket. Although it is messy, it is full of life.

It is actually a very taboo thing for officials to go to another county to find the chief official there.

There is a truth in this called-there is no two masters in the sky!
Similarly, the chief officials at the top would basically not go to the yamen of the subordinate chief officials. If they had something to do, they would meet in the building or other places. Anyway, they would not go to the yamen, at least they would not stay for a long time.

Liu Rengui didn't care about these things, when Yunchu arrived, it happened to be the time when he had a lunch break.

There was a pair of iron chopsticks on the brazier, two pieces of mustard cakes on the iron chopsticks, and a pot of tea with mutton oil on the low table. It seemed that this was Liu Rengui's meal.

Judging from his skillful flipping of the pancakes and his unafraid of scalding his hands, he would not eat such a meal once or twice.

Liu Rengui didn't feel embarrassed at all because the lunch was too shabby, but naturally gave Yunchu one after he passed the test.

"The old man is used to being shabby. It can't compare to the county magistrate's fine clothes and fine food all day long. It's not bad to taste rough food once in a while. It's fresh."

Yun Chu took the pancake with a smile, and skillfully ate it from the burnt brown outer skin, eating the wheat-scented outer skin, without touching Liu Rengui's camellia, poured a glass of water and took a sip: "I am 13 years old. I just ate my first mouthful of white rice, does the county lord know what I was thinking at that time?"

Liu Rengui looked at Yunchu and said nothing, Yunchu had no choice but to continue: "I was thinking at the time, I will eat white rice every day in the future."

Liu Ren's orbit: "It's hard to fill the gap."

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "I believe that a person's pursuit of a better life should be encouraged, not discouraged.

Of course, as long as his efforts are in the right direction, he is worthy of praise and the wealth he has acquired should be protected. "

Liu Rengui raised the pancake in his hand and said: "Not everyone can survive the thousands of troops by luck, not everyone has the ability to drill like a county magistrate, and not everyone can survive in the big army. Win the first place in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Yunxian Cheng thought that what he got by relying on his hard work, but he didn't know that to a dull person, it was plunder. "

Yun Chu quickly ate the beard cake in his hand, filling his mouth with the dregs: "A certain family came today to correct a fallacy of the county lord."

Hearing what Yunchu said, Liu Rengui actually put down the half-eaten Hubing, and saluted Yunchu respectfully, "Liu Rengui is all ears."

Faced with Liu Rengui's appearance of being happy after hearing about it, Yun Chu said awkwardly: "Let's discuss it and learn from each other."

Liu Rengui said solemnly: "Since it is Liu's fallacy, as long as it hits the point, Liu will naturally listen to it."

Yun Chu saw that Liu Rengui was serious and didn't seem to be playing tricks on him, so he seriously took out a piece of money from his pocket and put it in front of Liu Rengui, saying: "Today, a certain family will talk about money with the county lord!

I don't know what the county respect thinks money is? "

It was the first time for Liu Rengui to be asked this question. He couldn't help but frowned and pondered for a while, and finally answered with hands folded: "I think money is things, and things refer to everything that money can buy."

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "The essence of money is time and labor, no matter what the county lord buys with money, whether it is a house, a piece of pastry, or a piece of clothing.

In the final analysis, what Xianzun buys is the labor time of artisans, suppliers, farmers, and silkworm farmers.

No matter how things change, it will eventually come back to the effective working time of craftsmen and farmers.
