Datang: At The Beginning, Li Er Forced Me To Rebel

"At the beginning, when I returned from the frontier, I started to rectify the internal affairs and treasury of the Tang Dynasty. From the accounts of the Ministry of Finance and the internal treasury, I have already calculated that this sum is neither embezzled nor wasted."

"At that time, I knew that it was probably Li Er's good deed!"

"Not only in Shuzhong, Liaodong, Yangzhou Road, and even Lingnan, there are such numbers, but the numbers are not as big as in Shuzhong!"

"At that time, Li Er didn't show anything wrong to me, and I didn't even think about it! Turn a blind eye, close one eye, and let him go!"

"Just right, I know that there will be a natural disaster in this pass, and I am determined to prepare for the war to destroy the barbarians, so I let Li Erdai take care of these grains and grasses! I thought that when the natural disasters really come and there is no shortage, they can be used for emergency relief."

When Zhang Yan said these words, his tone was so calm.

But Mrs. Gongsun, who was listening, kept twitching the corners of her mouth.

I even began to mourn for Li Er in my heart!

Poor Li Er, who worked so hard and tried every means to make false accounts29 to squeeze out such a batch of grain from the treasury.

I thought that the gods would be secretly proud without anyone noticing, but in the end, my adults saw through it at a glance.

Even how to use this sum of money has been planned.

"In this way, according to what Yunzhongjun said, the food stored in Guanzhong was stored by Mr. Yushan after exhausting three generations of family property, and it was also Li Erfang who bluffed people?"

Mrs. Gongsun shook her head with a wry smile.

"How long has the world settled down? Xin Xuanyu is just an old Confucian. Even if it is a three-generation family property, how much food can he store?"

Zhang Yan's eyes were full of disdain.

"Besides, food and grass have always been important materials under the control of the imperial court! Any old Confucian can raise enough food to meet the needs of the people in the middle of the land through buying and selling..."

"What kind of disaster is this? Is Datang's grain really so worthless?"

"Li Er's abacus is good. An excuse not only solves the temporary shortage of grain in Guanzhong, but also allows this batch of 'unknown' grain to appear in the world in a fair way! It also created momentum for Mr. Yushan, creating Created an image of being dedicated to the world and dissipating all family wealth..."

"It's really killing three birds with one stone, tsk tsk tsk, after Li Er's blackening, his methods are getting better and better, it really makes me look at him with admiration!"

What Zhang Yan said was a compliment to Li Er.

But the disdain and contempt in the tone did not contain the slightest restraint and concealment at all!

Mrs. Gongsun who was listening to the side also couldn't help laughing!

"Hehe...that's true! It's a pity that no matter how clever his methods are, he still can't climb the mountain like you, my lord.

It wasn't until this time that Mrs. Gongsun finally let go of her previously suspended heart.

Since Zhang Yan knows all these things well.

Needless to say, he naturally already has a countermeasure!

So, how do you plan to deal with this batch of grain and grass, my lord?"

Mrs. Gongsun asked with a smile.

"Once this batch of grain and grass is sent to Guanzhong, the turmoil caused by the plague of locusts will be suppressed soon, and it will definitely be unfavorable for the adults to raise troops in the future! So, do you want to send someone to......... "

Mrs. Gongsun said and made a palm-slashing motion.

It's not enough to kill people, it's just the meaning of intercepting this batch of food and grass.

"No need! We don't need to do anything! What should we do? Use the bookstore to stir up the literary world with peace of mind, and keep an eye on Mr. Yushan himself!"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yan smiled and shook his head.

I gave an unexpected word to Mrs. Gongsun!

"Let's not think about buying this batch of grain and grass, and we can't starve the people in Guanzhong, isn't it..."

What?!

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gongsun, who was still smiling, immediately widened her eyes.

"What do you mean, my lord?"

Mrs. Gongsun almost subconsciously asked in puzzlement.

"Your Excellency wasted so much effort before, allocating money from the bank, and asking the family's business to grab food! Isn't it just to make time for food in Guanzhong! Then use natural disasters to trigger famine and cause turmoil among the people in Guanzhong?"

"Now the food stored in Shuzhong will enter Guanzhong. By that time, all the painstaking efforts that your lord has spent before..."

Hearing Mrs. Gongsun's words, Zhang Yan smiled and shook his head.

Suddenly changed the subject.

"Mrs. Gongsun, do you like fishing in your spare time?"

"What?"

Mrs. Gongsun was a little confused by Zhang Yan's jumpy topic.

But he still answered seriously.

"The old man was busy serving the adults before, and he never fished. Now that he has nothing to do on Snakehead Island these days, he has watched black fish fishing on the edge of the cliff a few times..."

Hearing this, Zhang Yan smiled.

"That's it... Madame, do you know that when fishing, when you put down the bait and stare at the buoy, what should you do if the buoy moves?"

"Naturally, catch the fish with the hook!"

Mrs. Gongsun replied subconsciously.

"Wrong! It should be to stay still and wait for the buoy to start for the second time!"

Zhang Yan smiled and shook his head.

"Fish is very shrewd. The first time you touch the buoy, it is a temptation. If you take the hook directly, not only will you not get anything, but it will cause the fish to escape in a panic!"

"But if you can hold your breath and endure this temptation, the fish will relax their vigilance and devour the bait until the hook is swallowed, and it will be difficult to escape!"

"Wait until this time, and then you take the hook again, and hit every shot!"

Hearing 727 Zhang Yan's words, something flashed in Mrs. Gongsun's mind.

It seems to understand something, but after all, it is still a little bit short.

He could only bow and ask Zhang Yan.

"The old woman is dull and doesn't understand the meaning of the adults, please let the adults express it!"

"One way is universal!"

Zhang Yan said with a smile.

"Although Guanzhong is suffering catastrophe, it still has the rations left over from last year to support it. Although the people are in turmoil! But more or less, they still have some hope for peace!"

"It's like a fish touching the bait. If we make an incident at this time, although we can succeed, it will be a little bit late after all."

"As for the food in Sichuan, it's like letting the fish relax their vigilance and waiting, making Li Er mistakenly think that the disaster is over, so he doesn't care about it!"

"Let the people of the world trust Li Er again, and think that Li Er has the ability to quell the famine!"

"But they don't know that Li Er has no ability to survive the famine caused by the locust plague!"

"By the time they come to their senses and find that there is another shortage of food, it will be over.

"The real famine will come. At that time, people all over the world will hate Li Er and the group of food and grass in Sichuan that made them relax their vigilance..."

"Ma'am, now you understand why I didn't move that batch of grain and grass?"
