Chapter 384: Food prices have risen again

Yuchi Gong barely stood firm and felt the earth no longer shaking. "Damn it, why did this turn the dragon over? Evil nature!"

"Report!" A soldier came with his horse, and the person coming was the soldiers from Chang'an.

"Report to the General, Duke Zou of Chang'an, I hope the General will send him personally."

"What did Duke Zou and Duke Zhang Jin do to me?" Yuchi Gong took the letter and read it.

The army is resting again, and many soldiers have retrieved the frightened horse.

After reading the letter, Yuchi Gong ordered the generals around him, "You go and find out if there are any unjust, false and wrong cases in the Longyou area."

"Here!"

The general hurriedly left with a team of soldiers. Yuchi Gong looked at the soldier in front of him suspiciously and said, "Did Zhang Gongjin send you here?"

Chuanxin soldier knelt on one knee and replied loudly, "The letter was written by Duke Zou himself."

Yuchi Gong burned the letter and said again: "Of course I know it was written by Zhang Gongjin. This old guy still likes to keep half of the seal. This problem still exists after the Xuanwu Gate incident."

Look at this message soldier.

Yuchi Gong asked again: "There is something I think is wrong."

"Please speak for yourself, General."

"You said this letter will be no sooner or later, but it will be here at this time. Isn't it a coincidence?"

The soldier of Chuanxin lowered his head and said, "Actually, Duke Zou asked Bei Zi to go on the important march road half a month ago. After the general entered the country, he followed him from afar. He specifically told him to hand the letter over to the general after the earth dragon turned over."

"What if it didn't happen?"

"If it doesn't happen, buy some dates and go back. Duke Zou wants to eat some dried dates to nourish his body."

Yuchi Gong smiled awkwardly, "This old boy Zhang Gongjin is really a skillful guy, and he is just as scheming. This letter is from Zhang Gongjin. Now I believe it."

"Since the letter has been delivered, I will go back."

"Slow down!" Yuchi Gong continued, "Which soldier from the Wei Mansion, what's your name?"

"In fact, Beizhi is not a soldier from any Guard Mansion. Beizhi Wang Xuance! He is the guard of Jingyang."

"Jingyang? Guard?"

"Now Duke Zou is in Jingyang."

Yuchi Gong looked towards Chang'an and whispered: "What does this Zhang Gongjin keep in mind? According to what you said, Zhang Gongjin would have known that the Earth Dragon will turn over? When will he have such skills?"

Wang Xuance bowed and said, "The general will understand when he arrives in Chang'an."

Yuchi Gong nodded and said, "Okay, go back. You don't need to prepare for the dates. I will send them to him personally and buy some things along the way."

"Here!" Wang Xuance turned over and then left.

After Wang Xuance left, the military officer whispered to Yuchi Gong: "General, the man's horse is nailed with horseshoes. How could he ride such a horse if it weren't for the people from the Wei Mansion?"

Yuchi Gong took a sip of cold water to comfort his horse and said, "Do you think I can't see it? The guards of Jingyang? As far as I know, there is a man named Li Zheng in Jingyang, who is now the deputy general of the Longwu Army, but he has been raising horses for the Longwu Army."

"That's true."

Yuchi Gong looked around and ordered, "Camp on the spot."

"Here!"

The army stopped moving, and Yuchi Gong believed that he had few friends in the court who had made love, and would not be willing to pay attention to it if someone else sent such a letter.

This guy Zhang Gongjin is different, he must do what he asks for.

The generals in the court more or less owe this guy a favor.

Back then, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Changsun Wuji, and other advisers wanted to give Zhang Gongjin a face.

Unfortunately, Zhang Gongjin has retired after returning from Yinshan.

If there were no Xuanwu Sect, so many generals who followed Li Shimin might have been dealt with by Li Jiancheng now.

Less than a day after the general came back to report: "I found out that one thing was found. A month ago, the son of the Zhao family in Guanlong forced a daughter to rob him of a private daughter, and his husband hanged himself and his son became a beggar."

Yuchi Gong smiled and said, "Baili is eager to inform Chang'an Dali Temple and Your Majesty about this matter."

"Here!"

There are many destructive incidents in the Guanlong family, and they will be found as soon as they are investigated.

The family members cannot get involved in the idle affairs, and Yuchi Gong believes that he is just a leader in war.

Chang'an, one day after the earthquake, news rushed into Chang'an City.

Another incident spread to Chang'an, and the incident of the Guanlong family members forcing their robbery of the minority daughters also spread in Chang'an.

After several discussions between Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling and others in the court, they immediately summoned him. The virtues of the Guanlong family were ashamed to cause the dilong to turn over. They ordered Dali Temple to investigate thoroughly and never give up.

Discussions among the public.

"This kind of evil deed is under the bright world."

"Your Majesty's rule has such a bad thing. No wonder the Earth Dragon turns over."

"It is said that Dali Temple has dispatched many people to investigate this matter."

"I don't know why, recently there are more and more unsolved cases that have not been resolved in Dali Temple."

...

When Dai Zhou heard the discussion about this, he was eating breakfast in a shop without saying a word.

Du Ruhui, who was having a meal with Dai Zhou, sighed when he saw that there were more vicissitudes on Dai Zhou's face.

Du Ruhui said, "It seems that Li Zheng has calculated the matter again."

Dai Zhou whispered: "The Eastern Turks need troops and food and grass for help."

Du Ruhui nodded, "These days, the court has also discussed whether to rush to support the Eastern Turks. Who told us that our Majesty is the Khan of Heaven."

Dai Zhou took a sip of soup, "It's easy to say about the soldiers and horses, but it's just a matter of food and grass. Now the people in Chang'an know that Li Zheng in Guanzhong has the most food in his hands."

Du Ruhui was eating mutton, "This month, Li Zheng kept collecting grain, and almost all the old grains in the court were sold to Li Zheng to relieve the pressure from the Ministry of Revenue. He just sold so much grain, and it will take some time for the new grain taxes in various places to be collected. Is Li Zheng still collecting grain now?"

"I'm afraid that the food in Guanzhong has been almost fully collected by Li Zheng. Even if there are so many wealthy families, no one can provide food to support a war."

Although the court can also produce food, who knows how long the battle between the Eastern Turks and the Western Turks will take?

The North Korean and Chinese can rush to help, but it is indeed a considerable burden.

Li Zheng now has a ready-made one in his hands.

Dai Zhou whispered, "Did you think Li Zheng also calculated in advance that the Western Turks and Eastern Turks were going to go to war?"

Du Ruhui put down the bowl and chopsticks and wiped his mouth and said, "Maybe this kid will wake up laughing in his dream now."

Dai Zhou sighed, "It was prophecy that the Earth Dragon turned over again, and the Western Turks started a war. Could it be that Li Zheng was really good at making a brilliant plan and knowing the secrets of heaven."

The villagers of Jingyang are still worried about the piles of food.

A group of children were playing on sacks filled with food. There was a lot of food, and bags of food piled up like a mountain.

Li Shimin, who was sitting in the Ganlu Hall, was very worried now. The envoy of the Eastern Turkic in front of him was swollen and cursing the Western Turkic.
