Chapter 13161316: Whose food will you eat? (Part 2) [Requesting monthly votes]
Soldiers will sacrifice their lives for whomever they eat?
How simple and realistic is this short sentence?
Miao Ne habitually wanted to say a few words of comfort, but the words were swallowed back when they reached his throat. The Lord was not the first Lord of Qi State, so he did not need to obtain spiritual satisfaction from the flattery of others. She was a little helpless: "Can I only be controlled by others?"
Even if Cui Xiong was just a facade being pushed out, Miao Ne couldn't help but anger him. People from aristocratic families are accustomed to calculating gains and losses, and even Cui Xiong is not exempt from this habit. It's really disgusting!
Shen Tang laughed and said, "That's not true."
She started her own business from scratch, and Kang Guo was created from nothing, and there were many more troubles than he currently had. I didn't choose to compromise back then, so how could I swallow my anger now? Can it still be considered her territory if she cannot truly control it? I want to be a local emperor in her territory, parasitize her body, and absorb her nutrients to enrich myself...Have you ever asked her for her opinion?
She is not made of mud.
Miao Na perked up: "My lord, is there a way to break the situation?"
Shen Tang said: "This game is not really trapping me, so how can I break the situation? King Kang's court and the treasury are indeed Yes... there are some difficulties, Wang Ting As the scale of officials expands, their salaries cannot be owed, and the soldiers who have made meritorious service in this battle cannot be treated poorly. Therefore, my plan is to use this part of the state treasury budget to offset the shortage of food for civilian reconstruction. "
To put it more simply, Shen Tang's current assets are all high-quality, non-realizable fixed assets that cannot be converted into circulating cash. In terms of assets, she is really not poor, but in terms of cash flow, she really has no money. Abundant food can appease the people.
First, work will be used to provide relief. Wang Ting will allocate a small portion of the money, and the remaining remuneration will be converted into grains, which may be able to buy time.
Even if the economy cannot be boosted in the short term, as long as there is no major famine disaster, the boiling public dissatisfaction that the family thought would not break out for the time being. Shen Tang: "No matter what happens, we can restart Baitiao from the Heyin period, and it can also be used to relieve cash pressure."
Now with Kang Guo's endorsement, Baitiao can match the grain storage in the grain depot, as long as it allows The common people believed that the i-tiao could be cashed into grain, and it could temporarily replace the circulation of money. However, this approach is not the first choice. At that time, Heyin only had one-third of an acre of land, Baitiao management was simple, and the cost of fraud was also high. Until Shen Tang was transferred to Longwu County, no large-scale fraud scandal broke out. It is different now. Her stall is so big that no one can guarantee that there is no master forger in every corner.
What should I do if it is cracked and a large number of fake notes come to cash it?
Cash in?
The Kangguo grain depot can no longer be saved, and everything will go into chaos.
Not cashing in?
Wang Ting’s reputation among the people was ruined.
Once the people no longer trust the royal court, how long can the Kang state last? How to circulate the promoted coins? How are the policies implemented implemented? Seriously, it may even make Shen Tang's years of hard work go down the drain. Therefore, she must be cautious, balance the civil and military affairs, balance the royal court and the place, always suppress the local gangsters of the aristocratic family, and live her life carefully down to the last millimeter.
Lord of the country, this is really not a job for human beings.
Neither cattle nor horses are capable of such oppression.
My heart is full of bitter gourds, tears are flowing like rivers, but I still have to maintain a confident smile on my face: "The period of difficult pain is only for a while, and you can get through it by gritting your teeth. Destiny always has a price tag in secret, and if the present moment is temporary, If you are too quick and bow to the aristocratic family, they will become a cancer again when they recover from the war. Then there will be too many interests entangled, and it will not be easy to touch them. "
The taxes paid by the southwest region. The proportion should be in line with Kang Guo.
The proportion of regional survival is also stuck at the lowest level.
While Miao Ne admired Shen Tang's decisiveness, he was also worried about her: "What if the Southwest family headed by Cui is causing trouble?"
We can't kill them all.
The aristocratic families in the northwest have been torn apart by frequent wars. Local snakes like the Miao family can be considered moderate, and their control over the local area is not too deep, but it is different in the southwest. Taking the Cui family as an example, officials in various places have the shadow of the Cui family, Cui family's affiliated families, Cui family's in-laws, Cui family's disciples and former officials... There are hundreds of people with names and surnames. It's not difficult to kill so many people. What's difficult is finding someone to take over immediately without causing chaos. This is just the Cui family. How many other families, large and small, are there together?
Shen Tang chuckled: "There is a great man named Huang Chao. He created a brand-new method of killing, killing according to the family tree! Although I am not so arrogant... but if I am in a hurry, I can live as long as the world. ."
"Eternal life as long as heaven and earth live together?"
"We will die together."
Miao Ne: "..."
This is the first time I know that this word can be used in reverse.
"...How can their despicable lives be worth changing?"
Shen Tang just patted Miao Ne heavily on the shoulder.
"Ximin, please report a work-related injury."
Miao Na, the child, suffered too much mental pressure from being with the First Lord of Qi State. Miao Zi, who was originally upright and taciturn, could not change his oral habit that penetrated his bones. Shen Tang asked her to report a work-related injury. Miao Ne looked down at herself in confusion. She was not injured?
It was already one month later that Cui Xiong was summoned by Shen Tang again.
The location is in the capital of King Qi.
The royal capital surrendered in Kaicheng yesterday, and the person who was elected as the new leader of Qi State was the heir of the previous leader. The little girl, who walked steadily, wore a plain robe that didn't fit well and led the ministers to surrender. The little girl's biological father was Youshi, the male favorite of the previous ruler of the country. She didn't even know what happened. She only remembered her biological father's despair as if the sky had fallen, which made her even more worried and confused.
Shen Tang was surprised for a moment when he saw the young ruler of the country who was not even waist high, and was speechless to the old ministers of the Qi Kingdom. How can a little milk baby save the building from falling? It's just a scapegoat.
Qin Li also told Shen Tang about one of the secrets, which made Shen Tang speechless: "Originally, he wanted this little baby king to perform the ceremony of binding a jade in front of him, exposing his body, and leading hundreds of people. The official is in decline... After all, he is just a nurse, and he has no sense of shame. Even if he suffers such a shame and humiliation, no one will rest assured..."
The surrender of the defeated country is a reward for the victorious country. .
Loser should bear any humiliation.
In the past, this kind of surrender gift was given to the king in his prime. Who would have thought that Qi Guoguo would push out a milk baby on the eve of the destruction of the country.
Isn't this totally sick?
“I heard that the child’s biological father almost committed suicide by hanging himself from a rafter.”
Milk Baby didn’t know how humiliating this was, but her father knew, but neither father nor daughter could resist, and he was filled with grief and anger. The only option is to commit suicide. The servants noticed the noise and rescued him, and the child was so frightened by the noise that he almost suffered from soul-leaving syndrome...
The Cui officials who stayed in the city handed over the news.
It reached Chu Yao’s ears in a roundabout way.
Time was running out at that time, and Chu Yao had no time to report back to Shen Tang, so he directly sent someone to beat up the person who was planning to do this. He pulled a set of plain robes temporarily and put it on the head of the country. The child did not need to be tied up with jade, and other Things like coffins were not moved. Chu Yao's people also coaxed the stupid child: "When you turn around, you just have to walk out of the city gate and I will give you candied haws." 】
I just used candied haws to coax the child from crying.
I don’t know how these officials are so smart. The winter in the southwest is much warmer than that in the northwest. It’s also winter. In the coldest month of winter, a child is allowed to lead hundreds of officials to surrender? Why don't they take off their clothes? Hundreds of people gathered naked to walk the birds?
That was truly a hellish scene that could be written down in history books!
In a certain month of a certain year, the state of Qi surrendered, and hundreds of officials walked like birds to welcome the king. History books dared not be written and future generations would not dare to read them. A group of adults, even old people with one foot in the coffin, bullying an orphaned girl and a widowed father like this? If no one informs these old people of their plans in advance, the person who will be criticized by the history books later will be the owner of the family.
Future generations will not remember who arranged the surrender, but they will definitely remember who the surrendered party was, and they will even speculate that this was a perverted move by Kang Guo to bully the weak. Shen Tang almost became the historical version of E'e.
“Wu Hui was too gentle.”
Shen Tang didn’t even sleep for an hour all the way here.
With the southwest territory in her hands, she must have a general understanding of the situation here. Even with Wen Xin's assistance, which gave her a learning ability similar to copying and pasting, Shen Tang was still so busy that she didn't have much time to sleep. She had to sort out the situation in the shortest possible time. If you know yourself and your enemy, you will be victorious in any battle, and you will not be easily deceived by local forces in the southwest relying on information gaps. Therefore, she didn't know how to deal with the situation at first.
Seeing the baby who was no longer as tall as her waist, the tired smell of a social animal in her body became lighter, and she forced a smile.
After going through the process and living in someone else’s house, I realized that there was still this part: “If I were the one, I could kill everyone else!”
Chu Yao: “It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just indecent. "
If there are only a few of them at the scene, this is fine. I estimate that more than half of these old guys will commit suicide when they go back, but the Lord is also there, and they can't let the Lord see such a mess. thing. As a last resort, I spared these old guys.
Shen Tang thought about that scene for a while.
He closed his eyes in pain: "It's indeed indecent."
I just wanted to poke my eyes out.
Shen Tang secretly wrote down this account.
Not long after, the guards came in to report.
“Your Majesty, the eldest son of the Cui family is waiting for the summons outside the palace.”
"Bring people in."
Perhaps because the food in the army is good, Cui Xiong not only did not continue to lose weight, but became plumper, looked good, and looked more like a son of a noble man than at first sight. He still didn't know what was going on behind Xian Jiang, so he was still in a sunny mood.
“I’ve met Mr. Shen.”
It was rare for Shen Tang to give him a good face, but Cui Xiong was flattered. He was left aside by Shen Tang for more than a month. He was stable in the first half of the month, but became a little discouraged in the second half of the month. The Southwest has reached the final stage, and Kang State has no signs of financial collapse. In addition to the shortage of manpower, there are few civil riots in the land, and it seems that the state treasury is constantly spitting out money.
Cui Xiong knew that those people's calculations were wrong.
In the second half of the month, he was in a bad mood. He ate and drank well every day, went to bed early and got up early, and didn't have to work. How could he look bad?
Shen Tang pointed to the lower position and motioned for him to take a seat.
Cui Xiong became more and more startled and restless, his movements cautious.
"How has Hou Bai been doing in the past month or so? Cui Zhishan is already in the city. You and your son will be reunited when you get back."
"Very good, thank you Shen Jun for your concern."
"As long as you live a good life, the elders in the family should be worried if you go out alone for such a long time." Shen Tang smiled gently, like an amiable elder. He was concerned about Cui Xiong's quality of life during this period, and even allowed him to eat and take food with him. Return to specialty products.
A "specialty" for Cui Zhishan.
Cui Xiong didn't even have a chance to mention the mission during the whole process.
Back at Cui’s private residence in the royal capital, it was rare for the family to be so tidy. Not only his father Cui Zhi, his mother Cui Hui, his younger brother Cui Mi, his elder sister Cui Long, but also his unnamed "brother-in-law" beside his elder sister. The serious brother-in-law Yuan Wulang was nowhere to be seen.
There was a depressing feeling in the house that a storm was about to come.
My sister nestled in her mother's arms and expressed her longing for her. She almost couldn't help crying, and her mother was so moved that her eyes became wet. Cui Mi wished he could shrink his presence, while his father looked at the people in his daughter's room who were bowing and bowing their heads with an angry face.
Hearing Cui Xiong’s movement, everyone looked at it.
Cui Xiong was so frightened that he wanted to take a step back.
Before I even took a step forward, my father stopped me sharply.
“Get in here too!”
"Oh!"
Cui Xiong did not dare to disobey at all.
Cui Zhi put his daughter's matter aside and asked Cui Xiong about the progress of the matter. Cui Xiong has only been talking to Shen Tang for more than a month, so what progress can be made? He could only take out the "specialty" given by Shen Tang, and Cui Zhi opened it, looked at it and closed it.
“Father, what’s inside?”
My father’s face looked quite ugly.
Cui Zhi threw the thing aside as if it was some dirty thing, but what he said made everyone present frightened: "It's just a few of Cui's real account books. These things should have been kept in the most secret and safe place. So did Lord Shen." What a trick!”
Cui Xiong used his peripheral vision to see his mother’s reaction.
The latter is still very affectionate with my sister.
Cui Xiong murmured: "Could it be a fake?"
Maybe the real account book is still in place?
Cui Zhi was too lazy to bother: "No matter whether the contents are true or false, the appearance of the real accounts can be forged. Isn't it easy to get the original ones? There is no need to verify the authenticity."
Cui Xiong's The task is not progressing.
These ledgers are Shen Tang’s answer.
"...I believe that not only the Cui family, but also other families should have received similar 'specialties'." The name is a special product, but it is actually a handle. These clues may be related to the lifeline of survival, or to reputation and glory, or they may be the crime of uprooting the entire clan.
He himself didn’t want to get involved.
While other families were worried, the Cui family had the confidence to escape unscathed. There was really no need to mess with the situation anymore, but the person above her was unwilling to do so. Cui Zhi wanted to throw things directly in front of him. Can the former Cui family be compared with the current Cui family, the former Qi State and the current Kang State?
You have to use your stubborn and arrogant attitude to drag people to hell!
"How did Mr. Shen search for these things?"
Cui Zhi doesn't want to know these nonsense.
He just wants to know when his daughter became crooked!
"You have to make your father angry to death before you give up!" I have been a father and a mother for so many years. When did my daughter change drastically? Women’s eighteenth-year changes shouldn’t be like this, right? Why did she bring a few unworthy people over for today's family dinner?
Cui Zhi was so angry that he almost burst into tears.
Is he the son-in-law? Just show it to him?
