"Yes! Just let that kid spend money to buy it! You can only sell it in packages, not in bulk! And you can only sell half of it at most. If you ask him... well, let me think about it, three million taels of silver! Let him use grain for half of it. Instead, the price of food cannot be higher than ten cents!" Zhao Duan said fiercely!
He was not lenient at all when it came to killing his own Lao Liu. Only he who had been to Yunzhou County in person knew how rich Lao Liu was!
Now that I am short of money, how long will it take if I don’t kill Lao Liu, my rich son?
What's more, this was Lao Liu who came to the door on his own initiative. Who made this brat think about poaching himself?
If you don't kill him, who will he kill?
However, he knew Lao Liu’s family background, but the officials didn’t!
Ministers, look at me. Do you think this asking price is too harsh?
Will it scare away the culprit, King Yun?
This is three million taels, half of which is given as grain at the price of ten cents per catty.
This means that in addition to 1.5 million in cash, Yunzhou County will also provide 1.5 million shi of food!
hiss! The asking price is so harsh, can Yunzhou County afford it?
Although everyone knows that Yunzhou County is very powerful now, and they don't want to imagine it to be a deserted country, but King Yun must spend a lot of money to maintain such a huge army. In this case, how much wealth can he have?
Can Yunzhou County really afford your majesty’s price?
Zhao Duan knew what they were thinking as soon as he saw their expressions and immediately waved his hand and said:
"Don't worry about so much, just set the price according to my wishes. By the way, I will inform you that from now on, if any border town dares to let people out without permission from the court, I will take off his official uniform! "
As soon as the officials heard this, they immediately understood that His Majesty was serious, so they agreed to the matter with the idea of giving it a try, and at the same time notified Zhao Duan of his final order.
Soon the imperial court's order was received at the border gate. When the officials who originally turned a blind eye saw the imperial court's order coming, they immediately sealed the city gate and did not allow the people to leave the border. This was very painful for those who had just turned a blind eye. The school members were still excited and thought they had completed their mission.
For those areas that no longer have government offices, people still take photos and dance with them, which has no impact.
Chen Du, who was at Yumen Pass, also received a reply from the court.
After reading the court's reply, Chen Du handed the letter to Zhang Zheng, who was staying at home temporarily, with a strange look on his face.
After Zhang Zheng read it, he smiled slightly, handed the letter to Zhou Yi, and said with a smile: "Zhou Dutou, please send the content of the letter back to Yunzhou County as quickly as possible for the prince to make a decision."
When Zhou Yi took the letter and read it, he was dumbfounded. He looked at Zhang Zheng and said, "Sheng Zhang, the county only gave you 50,000 taels!"
Zhang Zheng waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, you can send the letter back and the prince will make a decision."
Seeing how confident he was, Zhou Yi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
After copying the content of the letter, he whistled and called a sea turtle, tied the letter to sea turtle's feet and let it fly.
Seeing this scene, Chen Du was immediately surprised and said: "I wonder why there is always a sea turtle hovering in the city these days. It's you who nurture the relationship!"
Zhang Zheng and others smiled but did not answer.
Soon, the letter was sent back to Yunzhou County.
Arriving at Prince Yun’s Mansion.
At Prince Yun's Mansion, Jiang He and Zhao Jun, who came over with the letter, read the letter together.
After reading the contents of the letter, Zhao Jun burst into laughter, pointed at the letter and said: "Look at this Zhang Zheng! I gave him fifty thousand taels of silver for activities, and he actually went directly to the court. , Mingma held a stick and asked the court for people.
No, let my father seize the opportunity to kill me!
Jiang He, do you think I should take my father's sword? Still not picking up? "
Jiang He said with a smile: "The prince makes the decision himself. How can I know what the prince thinks?"
"You're such a slippery loach, you know how to hide!"
Zhao Jun smiled and cursed, then slapped the letter on the table and said: "This knife! I took it!
This king can afford this little money and food!
Just think that I am the king who helps the poor. The officials in the Song Dynasty are not very good, but the people are innocent.
Besides, my old man has spoken in person, so I have to give him some face, right? "
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Jiang He smiled and complimented.
Zhao Jun curled his lips and then ordered:
"Immediately mobilize gold, silver and grain to send to Yumen Pass.
At the same time, a letter was sent to inform the court that the money would be paid with one hand and the goods would be delivered with the other hand!
I don’t believe in the moral integrity of those officials. If I don’t see anyone, no one can take away my food and money, not even me! "
"No! I'll go and make arrangements now!"
Jiang He immediately went to collect supplies and gold and silver. Soon the reply from Yunzhou County returned to Yumen Pass. When Zhou Yi received the reply and read the content, he still looked a little unbelievable.
The prince actually agreed!
Looking at Zhang Zheng, who always looks confident, the admiration in my heart is simply unbearable!
Then he immediately sent the reply letter from Yunzhou County to Chen Du. Chen Du did not dare to neglect and immediately sent the reply letter back to Bianjing.
When Bianjing received the news, all the officials were shocked. Unexpectedly, King Yun actually agreed!
And you agreed so simply!
In the morning, Zhao Duan actually felt a little regretful, hating that he had lost money and wanted less, which made all the officials speechless for a while!
But since everyone agreed to such harsh conditions, Baiguan did not continue to struggle.
Once this money was obtained, the deadlocked situation of the imperial court could be revitalized, and specific matters were immediately arranged.
There were more than 1.3 million people affected by the disaster in Hedong County. According to the agreement with Yunzhou County, the imperial court immediately ordered officials at all levels to send about 700,000 people to Yumen Pass to complete the transaction with Yunzhou County.
The food consumption required along the way will be paid by the imperial court!
Thinking of the amount of money and grain that could be stolen from King Yun, all the officials felt suddenly arrogant. With such a small amount of grain, it was easy to get out!
Once the power of the state was mobilized, it was naturally different from the private power. Half of the victims who were originally scattered throughout the county were quickly gathered together and sent to Yumen Pass.
And Yumenguan has already made preparations.
Yunzhou County is also constantly mobilizing food, grass and supplies here.
Not only the money and food given to the court, but also the materials required for the migration of hundreds of thousands of people are not a small amount. If one accidentally fails to do something well and many starve to death, Yunzhou County will suffer a big loss!
So all the necessary preparations must be made.
There were so many people migrating from the Hedong Corridor this time, and the crowd was so huge. Although the Xiongnu might not come to cause trouble after just plundering, they had to be on guard.
Zhao Jun even sent 80,000 cavalry to escort along the way to ensure that all the people received would reach Yunzhou County.
There was such a big movement here, it was impossible for the Xiongnu not to notice it.
But it was winter now, and the tribes had just dispersed. It was very difficult to gather again. In addition, Tira was quickly digesting the things he had snatched from the Song Dynasty, so he could only turn a blind eye to what was happening here.
under various factors.
Soon, the money and grain of Yunzhou County and the population of the Song Dynasty were safely gathered at Yumen Pass!
