Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"purchase?"

"To be honest, the youngest of these people are all in their 50s, and the older ones are in their 70s and [-]s. They can't do much work at all, and they eat a lot. Keep them, and now you can't make much money. It’s better to sell them together.”

Gao Xin Dexin said that's not necessarily the case, you underestimated Yuan Haizilan's ability to knock bones and suck marrow.However, he himself didn't want to leave these ten thousand officials and slaves in Liaodong City. Yuan Haizilan got a big portion of the money, and the whole Goguryeo was the scapegoat. It was not a decent deal no matter what.

Gao Xinde cooperated with Guo Ye and said: "This statement is reasonable, Duke Pingyang, please continue."

Guo Ye said: "In this way, I will pay ten guan for each slave. I heard that it is less than 1 people, and I will give you the calculation based on 1 people. I will take out a total of [-] guan and hand it over to the Goguryeo court to buy these official slaves. .We trade fairly, no one can blame the city lord!"

"This……"

"In addition, Guo Ye has a thank you gift from City Lord Gao. I will also give you one hundred thousand guan!"

"Give me 14 guan, too?" Gao Xinde's eyes lit up, he hugged him all his life, but he didn't have [-] guan.In just a few days, Guo Ye gave him [-] guan. He is really his God of Wealth!

Guo Ye nodded and said: "That's right! City Lord Gao has worked so hard, you deserve the [-] guan!"

Gao Xinde was greatly moved, and said: "That's 20 guan in total! Can Duke Pingyang afford such a large amount of money?"

As soon as Guo Ye stretched out his hand, he took out Yuan Haizilan's 20 guan note, handed it to Gao Xinde, and said, "You take it!"

He is borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, which is equivalent to not having any flowers.

Holding 20 guan in his hand, Gao Xinde was like dreaming.So simple, to realize the dream of doubling assets?In the final analysis, it is still the Tang Empire, the state of heaven, an official is so rich, I am so envious~

However, Gao Xinde still did not lose his mind, he knew that this money is not easy to get!If it is not done well, it can bring him a catastrophe!

He thought about it for a while, and said: "Ming people don't speak dark words. Duke Pingyang, let me ask you, is Yuanhai Zilan in your hands?"

Guo Ye knew that this was the critical moment to gain Gao Xinde's trust, so he couldn't be vague and said, "That's right, it's with me!"

Gao Xinde nodded, and asked again: "Does Duke of Pingyang only care about the [-] official slaves and Skull Mountain? What does Duke of Pingyang think?"

Guo Ye said: "It's so cruel to build a Beijing temple with [-] skeletons. I advise Lord Gao to destroy it, otherwise it will be a thorn between Datang and Goguryeo. It is not a good thing for Datang or Goguryeo!"

Gao Xinde smiled wryly: "I was afraid that you would make this request, so I avoided it. It's not that I promise you, and it's not that I don't agree!"

Gao Xinde took a sip of tea, and said seriously: "Pingyang County Lord promised me one thing, I will destroy the Skull Mountain for you, and let you bury the bones of Huaxia's children. I will also give you the [-] official slaves!"

"what's up?"

"You released Yuanhai Zilan to me!"

"What? Let it go... let it go?"

Chapter 1268

Since Guo Ye heard the name Yuanhai Zilan, he sentenced Yuanhai Zilan to death.

Guo Ye is not a gentleman who repays grievances with virtue. His basic style is an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.Revenge a little late can make him feel uncomfortable, let alone let the enemy go?If he really wants to let Yuan Hai Zilan go, Guo Ye can guarantee that he will wake up in the middle of the night every day from now on, and his heart will hurt.

Guo Ye chuckled, ignored Gao Xinde's words, and said, "Master Gao, I heard that you and the Yuan family are not in harmony!"

Gao Xinde nodded and said: "It's not just disharmony? If possible, I'd like to uproot the Yuan family!"

"We are ministers in the same hall, what unresolved knot between your two families, can you tell someone Guo?"

Gao Xinde said: "It's nothing to tell you, and this matter is not a secret. It is not difficult for the Duke of Pingyang to inquire about it with a little care. But after going out of this door, I will not admit that I said this. Please also ask the Duke of Pingyang Keep it secret!"

Guo Ye quickly said: "That's natural!"

"Ever since King Yingyang, the lord of Goguryeo, repelled the invasion of the Sui Dynasty, he has considered himself to be of great merit, worthy of the heaven and the earth. Everything is arbitrary, and the words of our Gao clan have no weight."

"Originally, it's nothing. King Yingyang is the lord of the country, and it's only natural for us to listen to him. But in recent years, King Yingyang has become more and more confused. He even favored the Yuan clan, which made the current Goguryeo inner surname Yuan's is more beautiful than Gao's. What's even more hateful is that he actually gave Yuan Gai Suwen the power to control the soldiers and horses of our Goguryeo country. If this continues, I don't know whether this Goguryeo's surname is Yuan or Gao? Wait until King Yingyang is a hundred years old Afterwards, I’m afraid that the country of Koryo will mainly be handed over to the man surnamed Yuan!”

Guo Ye didn't believe that Gao Xinde was at odds with the Yuan family because of this matter. No matter how King Yingyang passed on the throne, Gao Xinde would not get his turn. He was willing to risk his life with the Yuan family for this?If Gao Xinde was really so loyal to the emperor and patriotic, he would not have accepted huge bribes from Guo Ye.

Guo Ye said: "I heard that King Yingyang, the lord of your country, has a son, and he is now named the king of Rongliu County. In the future, the lord of the country will not be the surname Yuan, right?"

Gao Xinde slapped his thigh, and said: "Mr. Pingyang is worthy of being a figure in Shangbang, and he understands it. Gao was ordered by the king of Rongliu to suppress the Yuan family! It is related to the succession of the throne of Goguryeo, what do you say?" Can the enmity between me and the Yuan family be minimized?"

It turns out that the dispute between these two families was provoked by Gao Xinde.But now it seems that the Yuan family still has the upper hand.Gao Xinde, the city lord, will soon lose his position!

Guo Ye said: "Since that's the case, why don't you and I work together to give this Yuanhai Zilan to..."

As he said that, Guo Ye slashed down with his hand, making a gesture of beheading!

Gao Xinde was so frightened that he stood up all of a sudden, waved his hands repeatedly, and said, "No way!"

"Why not?"

Gao Xinde said: "Although that Yuanhai Ziba is the deputy city lord, he has the power of the city defense army. If you kill Yuanhai Zilan, I'm afraid that he will be violent, and you and I will die without a place to die!"

"Oh, does he dare to touch me, an imperial envoy of the Tang Dynasty?"

Gao Xinde said with a wry smile: "The Yuan family is the main fighting faction in my Goguryeo country, and has always been hostile to your country! He can't wait to start a war between Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo immediately, but he can't find an excuse!"

Guo Ye said: "It depends on human effort. After all, you are the Lord of Liaodong City, so you may not be afraid of this Yuanhai Ziba. City Lord Gao, I wonder how much of the soldiers and horses you can control in Liaodong City?"

"When in half!"

"Half is quite a lot, I think we still have a lot to do..."

"Actually, it's not even half..."

"Is there always [-]%?"

"Probably, maybe, almost..."

"Thirty percent?"

"Actually, it's not very accurate..."

Guo Ye couldn't take it anymore, and said: "How much? Please give me an exact number, Lord Gao!"

Gao Xinde stretched out a finger timidly and said, "So many!"

Guo Ye said: "Only [-]%? City Lord Gao, you are too boring to be a city lord."

Gao Xinde said with embarrassment: "Not even 1000%, I mean [-] people. It is the guard of the city lord, and I am sure to control it. Tell me, do I dare to kill Yuan Haizilan? Not only can I not kill him, I will also kill him." You have to protect him. Otherwise, if something happens to him, the Yuan family will be the first to suspect me, and I still won't survive!"

Guo Ye looked at Gao Xinde in disappointment, and said: "City Lord Gao, forgive Guo's blunt words, you can see the whole leopard at a glance. If Rongliu County King has such a little strength, I advise you to surrender to Yuan Gai Suwen as soon as possible. Otherwise , when the time comes to see you, you will all die without a place to bury yourself!"

Gao Xinde told Guo Ye so many things, of course it was not because Guo Ye looked down on him, and quickly added: "Things are not as Pingyang County Lord thought, and Gao is not without effort. In fact, the army of Liaodong City Most of them are neutral. Although I can't command them to kill Yuan Haiziba. But Yuan Haiziba can't mobilize them to attack me. There may be 3000 people who are really loyal to Yuanhai Ziba. Most of them are actually The two don't help each other!"

Guo Ye said: "Since this is the case, your 1000 people plus my 200 people are not without a fight..."

Gao Xinde said: "With 200 people versus 3000 people, we still have a greater chance of losing. Besides, even if we win by chance, we will completely offend the Yuan family."
