"Good news, good news, Wang Shichong, the leader of the Kingdom of Zheng, has announced that he will be incorporated into the Young Marshal's Army, and Mrs. Li strongly condemns it!"
"Good news!"
Early in the morning, the shouts of newspaper boys could be heard in the streets of Luoyang.
When the common people and merchants heard this, they were all extremely excited and gathered around the newsboy to inquire about the news.
Most of these newsboys are either orphans, have various physical defects, or are girls who were left at the door of the Song family's residence.
Doesn't that sound easy to bully? But they are all non-staff members of the Song family, so they can be regarded as providing an iron rice bowl.
There are even people who are seriously ill now. They are afraid that their children will not be able to live, so they simply sit at the door of the Song family residence and wait for death, hoping to leave a way for their children to survive at the last moment.
In the end, Yu Chen, the supervisor of the Song family residence, had no choice. Not only was there patrolling at the door to prohibit people from dying in front of their home, but they also opened a window at the entrance of the four cities to register: unwanted children could be sent away.
If Luoyang can't use it, they can just go overseas with the annual fleet. Although you may not have the chance to come back in your lifetime, at least you won't have to starve to death.
"Er Gou, what's going on? We haven't even started fighting yet, why did we surrender?" Merchant Xia Tian was very excited.
As the emperor, Wang Shichong only cared about enjoying himself, and those officials and subordinates naturally followed the example. As soon as they took office, they only did one thing: make money!
They don't care about the bullshit world, careers, and people's voices, they just want to make money.
Therefore, taxes on merchants and land in the countryside of Luoyang, including nearby counties, were collected. Twenty years later, if food had not been so cheap now,
"I told you, don't call me Ergou. I registered my name at the Song Family Chamber of Commerce. Call me Qian Duoduo!" Ergou was serious and unhappy.
"Okay, okay, you have a lot of money, tell me what's going on?" Xia Tian looked helpless, even a little envious.
You must know that the taxes of the Song Chamber of Commerce are paid once a year, and no matter which force it is, it is the same. The profits earned are taxed 20%. In order to invite the Song Chamber of Commerce to move in, some forces are directly tax-free.
Ergou then beamed, his name was his identity!
"According to the agreement between the ruler of the country and the young marshal's army, Princess Dong Shuni married the commander of the young marshal's army: Kou Zhong, the great master and the strong man as his wife. After that, the whole Dazheng, including the city, food and grass, officials, land, soldiers, etc. were all dowry."
"What the hell?" Hearing this, everyone around him was dumbfounded.
It is unprecedented for a country to be used as a dowry.
However, in this case, wouldn't they immediately be owned by the Young Marshal Army?
Thinking of this, everyone started to get excited again.
On the left side of Luoyang is Chang'an, and on the right is the Young Marshal's Army. Every day, people come to spread the word about how great Chang'an is. The people live and work in peace and contentment, farmers have land, and taxes are low.
But the distance is so close, and everyone has many relatives and friends living near Chang'an. If others don't know it, they don't know it either.
All crows in the world are black, but Wang Shichong's is even darker.
But it was different with the Shaoshuai Army. They implemented Qin laws and the laws were strict, and they also improved many laws that were too harsh. In this way, people will not be afraid of being robbed by officials and petty officials no matter how much money they save after working hard for a year.
This is actually not bad. There were emperors and courtiers, and some places in the Tang Dynasty were not bad. What attracts them most is the treatment of being a soldier in the Young Marshal Army.
Children study and practice martial arts for free; their parents are taken care of at home, and their military exploits can be redeemed for land, wealth, and inheritance of family martial arts; the most important thing is to allocate wives, and it is said that there were many unfavored concubines of the Sui Emperor. The palace maids were also included.
The emperor's woman? I'm afraid it's not inlaid with gold and jade. What does that feel like?
And according to Song's latest expert analysis: Kou Zhong has become a great master, and Shaoshuai Jun may become the biggest winner. If you don't join the Young Marshal's Army now, won't you be discriminated against if you join in the future?
rush!
…
Chang'an, the Imperial Palace of the Tang Dynasty, the former place of the Daxing Palace of the Sui Dynasty.
Fengtian Temple.
This is the highest-level meeting of the Tang Dynasty, but it is only a meeting of the Li family.
Li Shimin was in charge of the army, Li Jiancheng was in power, and Li Yuan was in the middle to mediate.
Choosing Daxing Palace as the royal palace is of course auspicious because of its auspicious name, Daxing, Daxing, and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty! But now Li's family is sitting on their chairs, frowning.
Originally, there was still Wang Shichong between the Shaoshuai Army and Datang, so there was room for relaxation. As a result, the old guy surrendered without a fight and even sent his niece to someone else's bed.
Do you want face? Isn't he afraid that future generations will poke him in the back?
Li Shimin stood up and said: "Father, actually I don't think there is any need to worry too much. According to the system of the Young Marshal Army, everyone from top to bottom, including officials, gentry, temples, and Taoist temples, need to pay taxes.
In this way, Buddhism and Taoism will naturally be on our side. You know, Kou Zhong is not the only great master in this land of the Central Plains!
Moreover, Buddhism has given us so much support over the past year, how could they be willing to give up?
Therefore, the trend is still with us. "
"Second brother, urgent information. Ning Daoqi, the great master of the Taoist sect, publicly announced that the Taoist sect will no longer participate in the disputes in the Central Plains and will lock the door from now on." Chai Shao rushed in and said.
Li Shimin:
Everyone:.
After a moment of silence, Li Shimin continued to comfort: "It's okay, the Taoist sect has lived in seclusion from the world and does not have much secular power. The main thing is the support of the Buddhist sect. They have the master of Fanzhai who is as powerful as the grand master, and the real grand master: Master Yixin.
Moreover, among the three thousand Buddhist temples, dozens of them have masters who are in charge. Calculated in this way, we still have a huge advantage. "
Li Xiuning came in with a panic look on her face: "Second brother, I just received the news that Master Yixin of Jingyin Zen Temple has passed away and passed away. The Song family issued an obituary, saying that he was a good man.
Cihang Jingzhai then announced that the mountain would be closed from today and he would no longer visit the world for a hundred years. "
Li Shimin:
Everyone:.
After another long silence, Li Shimin's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered that his eldest brother had many contacts with the Demon Sect.
"Do not worry about it!"
Li Yuan quickly stood up and interrupted: "Okay, stop talking! Jiancheng, you come."
Li Jiancheng took a deep breath and stood up.
"Father, the young marshal's army can achieve its current power. According to the investigation of the son, it is mainly due to four people: Yang Guangsheng, who has superior military strength, and Kou Zhong. Among them, Yang Guangsheng originally joined our Li family, but he was driven away directly by you, father. , said his name was unpleasant.
Li Jing, who is now known as the God of War, was originally your subordinate when his father rebelled, but you chose him to establish your authority, and then he ran away and joined the Young Marshal's Army by chance.
The last scribe acted in vain and took care of the young marshal's subordinates in order. "
Hearing this, everyone was startled.
Then Kou Zhong originally wanted to marry the Li family? Almost all of this young marshal's army was driven out by the Li family and put together.
Good guy, it turns out that Li's biggest enemy is Li Yuan?
Seeing his father's dark face, Li Jiancheng quickly continued to comfort him: "What I mean is that this young marshal's army mainly relies on the peerless force of Yang Guangsheng and Kou Zhong.
But in fact, our Li family is not bad at all, so there is no need to underestimate ourselves.
Just like Yang Guang's immense strength, my fourth brother Li Yuanba can definitely compete with him. Also, Kou Zhong is the great master, but I have a good friend who is the third most beautiful girl in the world.
A few days ago, she promised that she could persuade the Holy King Shi Zhixuan to help my Li family at a critical moment. "
Hearing this, Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly as he thought of his fourth son who was like a god and a demon.
Too.
At that time, Na Yuwen Chengdu was known as the No. 1 Tianbao General in the world and was responsible for guarding the safety of Sui Emperor Yang Guang. When he took his fourth son to the court, Li Yuanba heard that Yuwen Chengdu was an invincible general, and he immediately laughed and wanted to compete with him.
Yuwen Chengdu saw that Li Yuanba was a child, only twelve years old, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, a sickly face, and skinny skin. He smiled and said that he could kill him with one finger.
Li Yuanba immediately stretched out his arm and said that if Yu Wencheng could push and pull, he would be considered an invincible general.
Yuwen Chengdu was furious and stepped forward to pull Li Yuanba's arm hard, but it was like a dragonfly shaking a stone pillar, unable to move even an inch.
Li Yuanba just swiped his arm and made Yuwen Chengdu somersault.
Yu Wencheng was not convinced and wanted to lift the golden lion outside the Meridian Gate again. A golden lion weighed three thousand kilograms. Yuwen Chengdu lifted one, walked to the main hall step by step, lifted it out again, and put it back to its original place.
This was considered a skill, but Li Yuanba was even more powerful. He lifted one with his left hand, another with his right hand, then lifted them together, walked quickly to the hall, and lifted them up and down more than ten times.
This operation was a complete victory over Yuwen Chengdu, and everyone praised Li Yuanba as a god descending from heaven.
After the battle of strength, Yuwen Chengdu competes in martial arts again. Yuwen Chengdu used his famous weapon, the gilded boring bar, to hit Li Yuanba. Li Yuanba just raised the hammer and shook the golden boring bar away.
When Yuwen Chengdu's second boring machine hit, Li Yuanba fought hard again, and the gilded boring machine was almost interrupted. Yuwen Chengdu was also shocked so that his hands bleed.
Only then did Yuwen Chengdu finally admit defeat.
From then on, the world knew that Li Yuan had a son who was as powerful as the overlord of Western Chu.
"Father, I have also conducted an in-depth study of the military system of the young commander's army. To be honest, it can be summed up in four words: militancy!
And our Chang'an City has been reinforced and built many times, and it can easily block the attack of a hundred thousand troops. In addition, the Holy King and his fourth brother are blocking Kou Zhong and Yang Guangsheng, so there is no need to defeat them. If they are just defensive, they will be absolutely foolproof.
To harm the poor and their wealth, nothing can be done faster than soldiers; to endanger the country and worry about the master, nothing can be done faster than soldiers.
In this way, as long as we only defend but not attack, the young commander's army will die from internal strife. Isn’t the world at your fingertips? "
Li Jiancheng talked eloquently and was quite confident. In his opinion, this young marshal was really seeking death. If the Qin system was really that good, would the second generation die?
Li Yuan stroked his beard and his expression returned to calmness again. Thinking about it this way, will the world still belong to him in the future?
Tang Dynasty, this country's name, seems to be really blessed by gods.
When the army was launched, the country's name was chosen because, firstly, his family's ancestors all had the title of Duke of Tang, and secondly, it was because the Li family was in Shanxi to rebel against the Sui Dynasty.
Shanxi is known as "Jin" and was the land of the Jin Kingdom in ancient times. But the first king of Jin was Tang Shuyu.
When he was the prefect of Shanxi Province, he admired Tang Shuyu very much, so before he launched an army to plan the war, he took Li Shimin to the Jin Temple to worship Tang Shuyu and pray for his success.
Later, he succeeded as expected, so he went to Jin Temple to worship Tang Shuyu again to thank him for his blessing, and wrote "Jin Ming Temple" to praise Tang Shuyu.
【.Inherited by civil and military forces, benevolence and justice. Raise the wind and electricity to drive them for a long time, enveloping the heaven and earth and making the wind roll. One army is settled, and Liuhe is home. Although the seal script is used to receive pictures, it manifests the destiny; to achieve great success, it really depends on the magical power]
This is destiny!
After thinking about it, Li Yuan slowly picked up the tea cup and took a pleasant sip. It was extremely satisfying.
"Sir, it's bad, General Li Yuanba is gone!" the housekeeper rushed in and shouted in a panic.
[Swaying~] Li Yuan's hand shook and the teacup fell directly to the table, very angry.
"Nothing. Let me be clear. Did you sneak away somewhere to play again?"
"No, it's..." The housekeeper was panting heavily and couldn't even speak for a while.
Li Shimin was a little anxious. After all, the fourth brother only listened to him on weekdays, which was the most beneficial force. But he still stepped forward to help the butler up, holding the tea cup with a gentle expression.
"Steward Chen, don't be impatient, have a sip of tea and speak slowly,"
A good while.
"This morning, General Li returned to Chang'an. There was a thunderstorm on the way. The strange thing was that the thunder only sounded above his head, as if it was about to hit him.
General Li was furious, raised his hammer to the sky, cursed, and threw another hammer into the air. When the hammer fell, it hit his face. He turned over and fell down.
Chai Shao, who was traveling with him, hurried forward, but there was a strange gust of wind blowing, which blew sand and rocks flying, dust rose into the sky, there was the sound of thunderbolts, and the fire was rolling inside.
Not long after, the wind stopped and the rain stopped, and the soldiers went to search, but only the golden helmets and golden armor were left on the ground. The general, his hammers and Wanli Yun had disappeared. "
"Bang!" Li Yuan was startled, and then collapsed directly on the chair.
Li Shimin, Li Xiuning, Li Jiancheng:.
"Destiny, destiny!" Li Yuan burst into tears and burst into tears.
Li Jiancheng was also silent.
To be honest, Li's chances of winning are too slim now, or he might as well be down like Wang Shichong.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with being a rich man.
"Dad, let Erchen say something!"
Li Shimin stood up, majestic and confident.
"Fate is the interface of the weak, luck is the modesty of the strong! My destiny is up to me, and who knows who will win until the last moment! And so far, we have not actually made all the efforts.
First of all, the Holy King is a master who has been famous for many years, and his strength must not be inferior to Kou Zhong. What's more, Yang Guangsheng is just super powerful. If one general can't stop him, why can't ten generals stop him?
To be honest, ever since I was little, I have never been afraid of one out of ten!
And have you forgotten that I have one last relationship with the Li family: the Song family’s direct daughter, the unparalleled powerhouse of Wu Po Void? "
Hearing this, Li Yuan's crying stopped abruptly.
It seems like there is indeed a chance?
"Reporting to Your Highness the Crown Prince, everyone from the Yinkui Sect and the Huajian Sect left without saying goodbye and disappeared mysteriously. Most of the property in the mansion was also lost." Another servant came to report.
Li Yuan was startled, then quickly comforted himself.
There is still a chance, and there is that little girl.
Go and invite the Immortal Sword God!
"Sir, in the latest issue of the Central Plains Weekly, the Lingnan Song family once again announced that they will never participate in the disputes in the Central Plains. Song Yuzhi and Le Ye have already gone fishing in Japan Island and will not set foot in the Central Plains for the time being."
"puff!"
"Dad!" "Father!"
