Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

Ma Zhou shouted, and the glass statue in his hand was about to be thrown down hard.

"No!"

Cui Dongzhen shouted, his eyes turned red.

"Sir, no, this is my Tang Dynasty's most precious treasure!"

"Sir... show mercy, my lord, no, absolutely no!"

"My lord, please think twice, and your Majesty, please think twice! If the treasure is broken, it will be difficult to repair."

"......."

A group of Dayan officials and others got up from the ground and rushed directly towards Ma Zhou.

His face was pale.

Very anxious.

When the civil servants of the noble families in Hebei heard what Ma Zhou said, they were all panicked and frightened.

No one expected that Ma Zhou would say this.

Going to smash it?

Smash the national destiny of Dayan?
incredible.

Is there something wrong with the head of the Great Yan Kingdom Lord and Ma Zhou in front of me?

"Master Ma, if you smash this thing, then even the Tang Dynasty envoy will not buy the crystal we just saw!" Cui Dongzhen roared again.

The civil servants from the noble families in Hebei all raised their heads and looked at Ma Zhou in shock.

Ma Zhou moved his hands.

He looked at Cui Dongzhen, whose face was flushed and there were beads of sweat on his forehead, and he took a deep breath.

"This...is fine!"

Ma Zhou sighed heavily.

He looked at the things in his hands and then at Cui Dongzhen.

"Since everyone says so, and Mr. Cui disagrees so much, I...hiss..."

Ma Zhou took a deep breath.

"I, Ma Zhou, and even His Majesty cannot make this decision for the people of Dayan, and we cannot risk the world to do nothing. However, the value of this treasure far exceeds the value stated by Mr. Cui. What should we do?"

"How about... Mr. Ma, I will buy it with 10 taels of gold when I get back, but the score will be given in two years. After all, I don't have much gold reserves in Hebei." Cui Dongzhen said hurriedly.

Ma Zhou looked at him deeply and shook his head.

"No, no, I am in an imminent crisis. I need a one-time feedback, and it will be given in two years... Who knows what will happen next year?"

"Do you think so, Mr. Cui?"

Ma Zhou said softly.

"This…."

Cui Dongzhen was silent for a moment.

He understood what Ma Zhou meant.

But what then?
Dayan officials and other ministers looked at Ma Zhou.

There is also thought in the eyes.

How to do?
silence!

There was silence in the entire basement.

"Master Ma, how about... how about exchanging things for things?"

A civil servant from a noble family in Hebei suddenly spoke.

"In exchange for various things, the remaining parts of this treasure are constantly balanced with items in exchange, and then I, Datang, will buy it back? Isn't this the solution?"

He said.

Ma Zhou's eyes lit up.

In my heart, I laughed directly.

He was waiting for the people from the Tang Dynasty envoy to say this, but the person who spoke in front of him was really a roundworm in his stomach.

God helps Great Flame!
He was worried and didn't know how to speak!

"Yes, yes! Master Ma, I want this!"

"I don't know, how to exchange? What do you want?"

Cui Dongzhen blurted out.

All eyes of the crowd were turned to Ma Zhou.

Ma Zhou was stunned for a moment, with a sad expression on his face.

"This... Hey, we, Dayan, and Datang have always been friends and neighbors. This time, Prime Minister Du of the Tang Dynasty came to Dayan in person, which can be regarded as giving me a lot of face. Dayan may not have been well received in the past few days. .”

"This treasure, I, Da Yan, don't dare to ask for more from the Tang Dynasty. Let me think about it..."

Ma Zhou pretended to be thoughtful.

"Then...how about 100 million dans of grain?"

Ma Zhou named a number.

One million dans of grain is an exaggeration.

But before this incident, Li Kuan learned from the Zheng family's information that the Hebei family had such strength, but the Tang Dynasty did not, but that was because they were poor, not because the family was poor.

This one million loads of grain would cause the Hebei nobles to bleed profusely, but it would not break their muscles or bones.

and so.

This is the result of discussions between Li Kuan and his think tank.

In this regard, Li Kuan did not dare to ask for more.

It was a scam after all.

The sooner the closing time, the better.

Soon... things will change!

Ma Zhou just finished speaking.

"it is good!"

Cui Dongzhen agreed directly without any hesitation.

"Master Ma, how about giving my envoy two months to collect and transport the food when we return?"

Ma Zhou nodded: "No problem, I have the right to promise given by His Majesty, then... everyone present, including my officials from Dayan and your officials from Tang Dynasty, have about the same number, so they all came to be witnesses. One million dans of grain." , pay with one hand and deliver with the other hand.”

The voice fell.

The civil servants of the noble families in Hebei agreed with their faces.But the Dayan official had a grimace.

"Master Ma, this... this treasure only costs 100 million dan?"

"Do you want to discuss it with His Majesty again?"

There was an official from Dayan, his face full of pain and screams.

"Yes, Lord Ma, this is too little. Heshibi is worth fifteen cities, and this treasure requires 1000 million dans of grain!" Another Dayan official howled like a wolf.

"Master Ma, Wei Zhongshu is right!" Someone else agreed.

"Master Ma, no, this won't work. This is a treasure given to me by God, Great Yan. Sir Ma, I'm going to ask for my orders. Our Great Yan resources are going to be scarce. At worst, we will have a fight with the Turks in the north!"

"As long as you can keep the treasure, it doesn't matter if you risk your life, Lord Ma!"

A great Yan military general hit the pillars of the hall with his hands.

Crying bitterly.

The others also gritted their teeth and stared at Ma Zhou unwillingly.

Ma Zhou sighed heavily.

Cui Dongzhen looked at it passionately and deeply. The glazed statue of the Dragon King in Ma Zhou's hand left the place in a hurry.

The civil servants of the Hebei aristocratic clan and others quickly followed.

They were afraid that Ma Zhou would regret it again.

Ma Zhou walked to the table step by step and placed the Dragon King statue on the table in front of him.

"I am incompetent. This treasure must be kept by the one who gets it. There is nothing I can do about it. Your Majesty, there is nothing he can do about it!"

"Okay, let's go..."

"That's right! Ten teams of white-robed guards will be sent. From now on, they must guard the main hall. If anything happens to this thing, not to mention me, your majesty will take the guardian's head!" Ma Zhou left here.

Many Dayan officials left, but some were still talking in place.

They all marveled at the rarity and exquisiteness of the treasure.

It's not like a thing in the world!

Although the civil servants of the Hebei aristocratic clans have all left, they still have to perform the whole drama, so they are still acting.

Some go and some stay.

The whole basement was in a mess. A white-robed guard led ten teams of white-robed guards with a total of 100 people, and they quickly surrounded the place.
.
…………………….
An hour later.

Rumors began to spread throughout the vicinity of Yanyun Palace.

"Do you know that the imperial palace is in chaos today? My Great Yan treasury is empty. I can only use a rare treasure to sell to Datang to raise money to replenish the treasury."

"I've also heard that this rare treasure is a peerless treasure left behind by an overseas fairy island. It is said that it was carved using the Heaven-Mending Stone of Empress Nuwa."

"Yes, who says it's not? As soon as this rare treasure came out, it was accompanied by countless wolf howls. This thing suppressed my Great Yan's luck, but this time it is going to belong to the Tang Dynasty. Damn it! From now on, I, Great Yan, How can it develop so quickly!"

"There is no other way, there is no other way. Your Majesty has really paid too much for Dayan. Alas... give this rare treasure to the Tang Dynasty. From now on, the Tang Dynasty will become stronger and stronger, and I, the Great Yan, will become more and more powerful." The decline of China is difficult and difficult!”

"Don't say anything depressing. Your Majesty is still in office, but it's nothing more than a rare treasure. If other countries' armies come over, we'll fight to the death at worst!"

"That's right! But, this peerless treasure is going to be given to the Tang Dynasty. I really can't accept it!!"

"This treasure is so precious. I heard it is far more valuable than Heshi's Bi. But today, it was only exchanged for a million tons of grain. This... I, Dayan, am really going to lose money!!"

"There's nothing we can do. Who told us, Great Yan, that the treasury is empty?"

"Datang really got a big deal this time. I think I could laugh out of my dreams."

"......."

Countless people were discussing in the streets near Yanyun Palace.

You can't hide what happened at noon for long, let alone such an important matter.

Rare treasure!
Suppress Great Yan’s luck!

But soon, it will belong to Datang.

That's horrible!
It's so miserable!

Don't mention how aggrieved the people are, this is their own treasure, but let others sell it at a low price, just like the poor people can only sell the good land at a very low price in the end.

Hey….
The people of Dayan are really deeply touched.

In the streets and alleys, everyone was sighing, beating their chests and wailing, feeling helpless, hating themselves for being powerless, and hating the Tang Dynasty for taking advantage of the situation.
.
…………………….
a few days later.

The news spread back to Datang Hebei.

The whole of Hebei is also undergoing great changes.

night, dark.

The people who had been busy all day returned home and began to rest.

But the head of the Cui family, the leading family in Hebei, hasn't rested yet, and he doesn't feel any fatigue at all.

He ran all over the place today to raise food.

The last stop is the Changkong Lin Family Mansion.

A group of Cui family disciples followed closely behind.

After getting the news about Cui Dongzhen from Dayan, they could say that they visited all the powerful families and even businessmen in Hebei.

To chip in for food?
Not enough, still short of a million dans of grain.

After all, before they sent people to Dayan, they never imagined that they would spend money there, so they didn't have much preparation at all.

Who knows, a rare treasure suddenly appears in Dayan.

It is also the treasure of Dayan’s national destiny!

They were really caught off guard.

at this time.

The main residence of the Lin family in Changkong.

The head of the Lin family in Changkong and the head of the Bai family in Fulin were all there.

It seems that he is waiting for the Cui family leader.

"Masters!"

Quickly walking into the lobby, the Cui family leader narrowed his eyes slightly, this time with a solemn look on his face.

"I won't say anything else, everyone must know what happened today."

"Now, my Cui family is still short of 30 dans of grain. Two family heads, it's time for you to take action."

"As long as we have dragon king treasures like Dayan, we... no matter how Li Shimin treats us from now on, we can still be considered to have something from heaven, and we can stand on the commanding heights morally!"

"We must get it!"

"Although this may be Da Yan's conspiracy to sell that thing to us so that he can have the power to challenge Li Shimin, but we... even if we see it, we still have to get involved!"

"This treasure cannot be obtained by the Guanlong nobles, Li Shimin or Wu Xing Qiwang. It must be in our own hands!"

The head of the Cui family said in a deep voice.

The head of the Changkong Lin family and the head of the Fulin Bai family looked at each other.

The head of the Lin family smiled, stretched out his hand and gently touched the head of the Cui family, and said: "The head of the Cui family, please sit down."

"30 dans of grain, not a lot."

"However, we can get it, and now apart from me and the Bai family, there is no one else in Hebei who can get it."

"Principal Cui, my family, the Bai family, and your Cui family are grasshoppers on the same rope. Now that Cui Patriarch has spoken, of course we will do our best, but..."

"These 30 dans of grain are, after all, a lot..."

The head of the Lin family said softly.

Family Master Cui laughed and said, "Master Lin, don't worry about this."

"For this matter, my Cui family will definitely give your family a moral status. In terms of food ranking, my Cui family is first and your two are second. All the families in Hebei will eventually know!"

"And with this Dragon King statue, we can speed up the recruitment of troops and horses again. In the future war with Dayan, we will definitely get back the matching resources of one million dans of grain."

"These 100 million dans of grain are only temporarily lent to Dayan. When the Tang Dynasty develops and the army becomes stronger, everything will be returned to its original owner when we go to fight against Dayan."

"Our previous agreement is of course fulfilled. My Cui family is first, and your Lin family and Bai family are second. My Cui family will definitely publicize it!"

Patriarch Cui narrowed his eyes and said slowly.

He knew what the group was worried about.

They are afraid that they will obtain a rare treasure and then forget what they paid for it.

However, how is it possible?

One family could never control the entire territory.

Just like the area in Chang'an City, there are many nobles in Long.

In the four directions of the Central Plains, there are five surnames and seven hopes who form an alliance.

They are in Hebei, and they also have the five major families in Hebei!
We must be closely connected and advance and retreat together to achieve unanimous external success.

So even if neither of them spoke, he would remember the contributions of the Lin family and the Bai family, and even let the entire Hebei family know about such contributions!

now.

Hearing what the Cui family leader said, the Lin family leader and the Bai family leader looked at each other with relief on their faces.

Suddenly, both of them laughed.

"Okay, for this matter, as the Cui family leader said, our two families will also come to participate in the 100 million dans of grain and help us in Hebei to provide 30 dans."

The head of the Lin family said directly.

Then the two families nodded, and the 100 million dan of grain was completely announced.

And this time only takes a short day.

It is enough to show that the Cui family has a great reputation in Hebei and is the well-deserved leader of the Hebei family.

The news of the food gathering was sent to Cui Dongzhen and others through flying pigeons that night, asking them to agree to the deal.

the other side.

The head of the Cui family also asked everyone in the family to stop working and start arranging food, and then transport it to Dayan through caravans.

This is a big project.

But with their terrifying cohesion, they were able to transport all 100 million tons of grain out of Hebei in three days!
