Chapter 44 Is this time enough?

On the second floor of the teahouse, Pei Renji in the private room turned to stare at the street. Here is Luoyang Beicheng. The streets at the entrance of the Beicheng City are full of rice, flour, grain, oil, furniture, vases and porcelain, etc., which are not easy to go to the market. Inside, they are daily groceries, vegetables and fruits.

In the early morning, market vendors drove donkey carts to enter the market. Now all businesses are not easy to do, and almost all commodities are sold at low prices. Only grain shops are booming, and prices are rising again and again, which makes people feel anxious.

Pei Renji was watching, watching the people carrying copper coins in sacks waiting at the door of the grain shop to exchange all of them for food. The copper coins fell too quickly and caught up with the shortage of food in Luoyang. The people were too worried. Especially the government issued a notice that it would purchase grain on a large scale. Doesn’t this mean that the price of food will rise again? I don’t know what the emperor who just took power was going to do. If you put all the food into the official warehouse of Luoyang, you will not be hungry and let others live.

"Birdsman."

Just as he watched, the door of the teahouse box opened, Luo Shixin pushed the door open and stood in the box and bowed to Pei Renji.

Today, Luo Shixin wore a purple-green robe, and his every move was refreshed. He had long since lost his depressed and unsuccessful appearance back then.

"Shi Xin, sit down."

Pei Renji did not get up and gave in a moment. When he was in Wagang, Luo Shixin was his subordinate. Now he is the father-in-law of the current dynasty, which is not rude.

"I dare not." Luo Shixin didn't really sit down, after all, he was about the same age as his other son, so he stood aside.

Pei Renji turned his back to him and continued to look out the window. With the loss of time, the Taipei City became noisy at this moment, and various hawking sounds were coming one after another. At that moment, he said, "Shi Xin, Your Majesty asked me to ask you a question..." Hearing this, Luo Shi Xin frowned. He was much closer to His Majesty today than Pei Renji, and he was almost guarding day and night. What did the emperor want to say that he could not say in person and had to ask someone to pass it on his behalf?

"What's the matter?"

Pei In-ki turned around and looked at him and said, "Are you afraid of death?"

Luo Shixin said these words and glared. Today, either Pei Renji had falsely passed the imperial edict or the emperor's trust in him was gone, otherwise such words would never be asked.

"Not afraid."

Pei Renji nodded and said, "Okay, Your Majesty ordered you to lead 10,000 soldiers from the sect as the vanguard and rush to Luokou. My son Pei Xingyan led 30,000 troops from the government to take charge, and he will kill the enemy within ten days and break the Luokou Cang. What is possible?"

impossible!

What he said was not whether this matter could be successful or not, it would be impossible if it was this order.

Now there are only 40,000 people left in the entire Luoyang City. The sect mansion has added a fraction of the reserve mansion to increase to 20,000 people. They will take 40,000 people out at once, and 10,000 people to guard the palace city and 10,000 people to guard the Eastern Capital? What should Wang Shichong take the opportunity to attack? How is this possible!

"Dare you dare to ask the father-in-law, is there a tiger talisman?" Luo Shixin asked in confusion.

Bae In-ki shook his head: "No."

"Can you have an imperial edict?"

“No, either.”

Luo Shixin waved his sleeves and turned around and was about to walk out...

Now is different from the past. As the sect general, if he does not see His Majesty's imperial edict and tiger talisman, he will not listen to the Xuangong anyway. After all, this matter is very important.

"slow."

Seeing that Luo Shixin was about to leave, Pei Renji immediately called him, smiled and touched the cuffs. A golden tiger talisman was placed on the table and slowly pushed it out. Then, he took out the imperial edict in his arms and handed it over at the same time.

Luo Shixin looked down at the imperial edict and the tiger talisman, took the imperial edict and opened it first, and looked at the unsightly words. Luo Shixin could tell at a glance that it was written by the emperor, because he had accompanied His Majesty to practice calligraphy in the study countless times, so he naturally recognized it.

"Bestie..."

Pei Renji waved his back to him and said, "I was also ordered by the emperor. Your Majesty said that if Luo Shixin asked and brought troops out of Luoyang without asking, he would not be a qualified general and could not take on the heavy responsibility of vanguard. If he asked carefully and found out all this, he could be entrusted with important tasks." At this point, Pei Renji immediately stood up and said with a serious expression: "Luo Shixin heard from him."

Luo Shixin immediately turned over and knelt down, and knocked on the ground with one head: "From now on, the chief of the prison gate will be the Duke of Chen, and will be granted a fief outside the West Garden..."

This is a big deal.

Xiyuan is a royal garden, which contains the "Qingcheng Palace" recorded in historical books. Li Shimin fought the Qingcheng Palace battle here. This Xiyuan was also defeated by Li Mi back then. It can be said that it was Yang Tong's lifelong pain. What does it mean to put your fief outside the Xiyuan? It means to let you take care of Your Majesty day and night, what a great trust!

"Your Majesty also said that this battle in Luokou is extremely difficult to fight. I hope you can use your life and you must not retreat until the last moment..."

Luo Shixin didn't let Pei Renji finish his words, and immediately responded: "Ro Shixin will never retreat!"

Pei Renji closed his eyes and continued, "If the oil is exhausted and the lamp is exhausted, the matter cannot be done. General Luo can abandon his soldiers and return on his horse. I will never blame him."

After saying this, Pei Renji helped Luo Shixin up and said softly: "Shixin, Your Majesty is waiting to spread a good story with you, do you know?"

"I know, I know."

"Your Majesty is reluctant to tell you about this matter personally, do you know?"

"I know, I know!"

"Okay, okay...go, go and prepare. Your Majesty has his life and order you to raise your troops immediately and leave the city at noon."

Luo Shixin knelt down on one knee again and said, "I will receive the order." After that, he walked out of the teahouse with a firm look on his face.

Pei Renji stood upstairs and looked at Luo Shixin's leaving figure, and said softly, "What a great child." Then, he sighed, until Luo Shixin disappeared on the street, and then he withdrew his gaze.

At that moment, the grain store downstairs had just opened, and the young man was maintaining order with great might. When the shopkeeper saw Pei Renji standing on a high place, the shopkeeper slowly walked out, took out the original priced wooden raft, and took out a new priced wooden raft in his cuff, which read "Don't sell copper coins, gold and silver for grain."

As soon as the brand was changed, the building was in chaos at that time, and the people were scolding like they were bombing the camp.

"Why didn't you sell it? Didn't you still buy it yesterday?"

"That's right, you profiteers have nearly ten times the two companies in a few days. Isn't it enough? Isn't it enough! I have to force someone to die! Let me tell you, if I do this, I will hang myself at your doorstep tonight!!"

The shopkeeper was not vague when he heard the shouting and scolding, and immediately turned around and shouted: "What are you shouting? What are you shouting!"

"Oh, just you know how to use copper coins to exchange rice, right? This copper coins are priced at a day, but now a handful of copper coins cannot be exchanged for a cake on the street. What do I want it for?"

"Dear fellow villagers, it's not easy for me to open a store to do business. I'm really rewarded with this food. I can't pay for the people of Luoyang City, right? I can't afford to support the people of the entire Luoyang City."

"Today, I have to take the silver. If you don't have silver, don't you see it. There is a gold and silver hand jewelry store diagonally opposite. I will come out with copper coins. As long as you have silver, gold, and the food here, you can carry it at will."

While arguing, Pei Renji looked at the corner of the street, and several big and thick men quietly smuggled into the crowd and shouted in the crowd: "This world cannot survive. The profiteering businessman will not let us live, and we will not let them live well. Beat him!"

At this moment, Pei Renji closed the window and let the downstairs get messy. He picked up the teacup in the private room on the second floor of the teahouse and said to himself: "Gao Shilian, Gao Shilian, if I help you like this, it's not enough, then no one can do anything about it."
