Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Three hundred and sixty-one guesses


Hanjiacang is the first granary of Datang. The amount of grain that can be stored is an astonishing number in the previous life. In this era, it is an important guarantee for opening the warehouse during the famine in the Guanzhong area. The reserves of a Hanjiacang are equivalent to half the reserves of the entire Datang granary, so it is enough to imagine the importance of this granary to Datang!

There are probably not many people who dare to make ideas, and they want to use the royal granary to fill their own pockets. If discovered, this crime may not be something anyone can bear.

But when you mention Hanjiacang, you have to mention its predecessor back to Luocang. Sui built the granary outside Luoyang city before. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in chaos. Li Mi took the opportunity to recapture Luocang and immediately placed Luoyang city in a state of nothingness. The state of food.

Li Mi's confidence in holding food and grass increased greatly, and what made the rulers of the Sui Dynasty fear that food was not only the key to solving food and clothing, but also became the capital of the Wagang Army to absorb people's hearts. A large number of hungry and food-deficient rebels have He went to the Wagang Army, and the Wagang Army became famous for a while and its strength rose dramatically.

Although the Wagang Army's uprising was not successful due to various factors, Li Mi's successful strategy to seize grain and grass has become a lesson experience for another caring person. This man is the emperor's grandfather Li Shimin.

Li Shimin saw the shortcomings of the granary outside the city, he decided to build a granary in Luoyang City, so as not to repeat Sui's decision that the granary was built outside the city and easily occupied by others.

So this granary whose geographical location was carefully designed by Li Shimin: Hanjiacang, was built in Luoyang City. Hanjiacang not only supplies food in Luoyang City, but also serves as a transfer station for rice between Guandong and Guanzhong.

With the increasing expansion of Hanjiacang and the increase in its reserves, Huiluo Cang's continued use of grain storage has become less and less effective. Today, it can even be said to have become a tasteless granary of the Tang Dynasty.

Then, since the imperial court began not to pay attention to it, it would naturally leave opportunities for interested people to take advantage of. Li Hong believes that among the three major warehouses, the most likely speculative phenomenon must be returned to Luocang.

Li Sujie looked at Li Hong playfully, the empty teacup was pinched in his hand, and he thought about it and asked: "Then why can't it be Li Yangcang? Back to Luocang outside the city, it is easy for someone to use Come to speculate and fill your pockets, but Li Yangcang is farther away from Luoyang, isn't it more suitable for them to secretly sell?"

"Li Yangcang is too risky. Today's risk is even greater than that of Hanjiacang. This Liaodong is still fighting. If they dare to sell Liyangcang's food privately, they can probably beheaded without asking for crime. Liyang warehouses have always used grain after expropriation, either by taking the Yongji Canal or the Yellow River and then transporting them to Luoyang, or going northeast to continue water transportation to Youzhou to supply soldiers on the frontline of Liaodong. When there is no war, the granaries there are like granaries. Like Jiacang, it is necessary to ensure enough food for 80,000 people for a year, so the possibility is very small, but it is not impossible." Li Hong said after considering it.

"What should I do now?" Li Sujie felt that Li Hong was so savvy in his analysis, and his eyes suddenly opened up a lot, no longer like at the beginning, just like a blind man, and worried about Han Jiacang for a while. Worried about Li Yangcang, or worried about returning to Luocang.

"I don't know." Li Hong looked at Li Sujie and said simply.

"I don't know? The third child and I have provided you with so many clues. You told me that I don't know?" Li Sujie put down the tea cup in his hand and asked with his eyes wide open.

"Where is the youngest Li Shangjin? Yizhou! That's Jiannan Road! Where is Li Yangcang? It's still here in Weizhou, Henan Province, with a Gyeonggi Province in between, so it definitely won't be Li Yangcang, right? "Li Hong went through Li Sujie's study for a long time, pulled out an old map, looked at it and said.

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"Then there is a problem with Hanjiacang going back to Luocang, so we can only wait until the third party makes progress, then we can act."

"You are so sure that Li Yangcang is okay?" Li Sujie doubted deeply.

Li Hong looked at Li Sujie, who was disapproving, stretched out a finger and pointed to the top of his head, and said: "The regret of the emperor's life is that he has not been personally convicted by the royal driver. It is not a day or two to imitate the dream of the emperor's grandfather. A few days ago, I wanted to send troops to the west to restore the country to Belus, but I was abruptly rejected by me in the court hall. Now I heard from my mother that I would stand on the map of Liaodong during this period of time. I guess this Are you thinking about planning to conquer Liaodong after the beginning of spring? You said, since the father is worried about the war in Liaodong, then Li Yangcang dare to make a mistake? If his father imprisoned himself, Li Yangcang would not be full of food waiting for his father. The emperor? And, I’m afraid someone had spread the fact that the emperor was staring at the map of Liaodong. This Li Yangcang, 80% of them may be fine."

Li Sujie knows very little about the court affairs. After listening to Li Hong's analysis, he can only silently nod his head to agree with him.

Looking at Li Sujie who looked a little sad, Li Hong smiled and said: "Don't be discouraged, I know you are for my good, so let's go out of the city tomorrow and head back to Luocang. Go and see if you can see any clues."

"Can't it work today? It's just noon now." Li Sujie wanted to show Li Hong and asked urgently.

"My mother didn’t let me go out of Luoyang City, and even the Luoshui in the city would not let me live. This Luoyang City has been living in this city for more than half a month now, and I’ve been swaying here in the north. What is it like in the south? Both eyes are blind, and the little spy Li Lingyue has been telling her mother's queen all the time, even if it is tomorrow, I have to report to her mother's queen." Li Hong curled his lips and said that being a Prince of Tang Dynasty is not free.

"It turns out that being a prince is so pitiful..."

"Go...I'm leaving, remember to be ready tomorrow, just you and I will add... plus Bai Chun? Right." Li Hong's tall figure has reached the door of the living room, saying uncertainly.

When I walked into the courtyard, I saw Princess Xu taking Xiao Li Jing to play in the courtyard, and then teasing Xiao Li Jing in the past, and then walking towards the palace with Yang Wu.

In the mansion of Ji Wang Li Shen, Weizhou Governor Xiao Shouye was sitting impressively. It is said that once the Spring Festival is over, he is even more unlikely to stay in Luoyang, but Xiao Shouye still stayed in Luoyang and did not leave. Does anyone know that he is still here, I am afraid it is still a question.

"Wang Ji stayed in Luoyang this time because of Li Yangcang?" Xiao Shouye felt that Wang Ji was a little too cautious. It has been almost two years. The war in Liaodong has never stopped, but no one has ever found Li Yangcang. What's so strange.

"You are the grandson of the first emperor's great minister Xiao Yu. Your grandfather is listed in the twenty-four heroes in Lingyan Pavilion, and Princess Xiangcheng married your father. The relationship between you and the royal family can be imagined. Knowing, now Xu Wang Li Sujie is still staying in Luoyang, and you and him have not reached a tacit understanding, don't you find it strange now?" Wang Ji looked at the somewhat domineering Xiao Shouye and said.

"So what? Will Xu Wang and Li Sujie help the court inform the court? Besides, I, Li Yangcang, have always been cautious and have never had any problems. Of course, if I can secretly take the food back to Luocang according to my father and you, Transporting 200,000 stones, then it will be even more worry-free." Xiao Shouye smiled calmly.

Now the court hasn’t found anything, that’s Li Sujie, who only knows a little fur and can’t become a climate. His mother and concubine are not taken seriously in the royal family. After so many years, she is still imprisoned as a common man. Leng Gong, what else can Li Sujie make?

"The 200,000 stone returned to Luocang was taken out, but how do you transport it to Weizhou to fill the gap in your Li Yangcang? Since the Xiao family wants to be among the five surnames and seven families, why are they doing this illegal chaos? Ji’s matter, you don’t know yourself? Your father Xiao Rui is now in charge of the Xiao family. This is the wish of the elders of the Xiao family. He hopes to use your father’s influence to lead the Xiao family to the next level. So, everything is still necessary. You have to be cautious." Wang Ji frowned. How did Xiao Rui give birth to such a son who didn't know the priority?

If you leave this work to Xiao Shouye~IndoMTL.com~ This Xiao Shouye, in his opinion, will soon follow in the footsteps of Xiao Shoudao and Xiao Shouye, and sooner or later he will be brought to justice by the prince.

"Princess Lanling is now in great power, relying on the prince behind her to support her and courage. In her fief Lanling, she has been suppressing the Xiao family over the years. The Lanling wine, which the Xiao family is proud of, now has the last name. Li, what should the Xiao family do? Such a big family business can't just rely on prestige to fill your stomach, right? You have to have the money you spend in the daytime? Isn't private casting of old money just to hope to get a slice of it? Sell it at a low price You can buy the food back with your private money, and you can make the old money comply with the law and not be targeted by the court. This is something that my father can’t do.” Xiao Shouye shared with both hands, helpless and grieving. Said.

Wang Ji smiled silently, shook his head, turned off the subject and asked: "How is your father now? Is your body healthy?"

"Thanks to you, everything is fine. Originally, he wanted to go there in person at this Yuan-Japanese dynasty meeting, but... I heard that His Majesty wanted to go to Liaodong by himself? I don’t know if King Ji knows about this matter?" Xiao Shouye He believes that King Ji and his Majesty today are brothers, and there have been rumors among the people that the relationship between the two is harmonious and harmonious, and even the exchange of old money a few days ago, his Majesty opened up to him.

"My king wants your father to come over, so he wants to discuss this matter with your father. Although his Majesty has not yet decided whether to conquer Liaodong himself, in some days, when the weather is warm, he wants to make war in Liaodong. Ending earlier is to confirm the correctness." Wang Ji said with uncertainty in his eyes.

"Then...If you persuade your Majesty not to go to the expropriation, wouldn't it be possible to cover up Li Yangcang's shortfall, and we will have more time to slowly transfer grain from Huiluo Cang." Xiao Shouye thought of a solution The most direct and simple, but he did not think about who would persuade His Majesty to give up the idea of ​​personally conquering Liaodong.
