Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Fatty Zhu immediately welcomed Guo Ye in, tiptoed to Guo Ye and bit his ear, maybe it was to report the process of inviting many big businessmen.

After biting his ear for a while, Fatty Zhu lifted the chair above the courtroom where the county magistrate was sitting, and put it under the courtroom for Brother Guo to sit on.

Fatty Zhu's move was also instigated by Guo Ye. Although the county magistrate Gu Weiyong was not there, he didn't dare to take it too seriously, so he sat down on the position of Qipin county magistrate.

If it was passed to Gu Weiyong's ears by someone who chewed his tongue, wouldn't it be very troublesome?It is a big taboo in the officialdom to do something that makes the boss afraid.

After Guo Ye sat down, he didn't go around in circles like the previous conversations, but directly cut to the topic and asked loudly: "Everyone, who is Guo, and I don't need to introduce myself? There is only one purpose for calling everyone here today. , That is how to defend Longxi County, no matter how bad it is, we must hold on until the reinforcements from Yizhou County Zhechong Duwei's Mansion arrive, ahem, everyone is a prominent figure in Longxi County, let's talk about it."

Fatty Zhu who was next to him echoed: "The county magistrate will pay homage to the Buddha at the Ganye Temple for a period of time recently. Before leaving, I have explained that all matters in the county will be handled by Mr. Gong Cao Ma and Brother Guo Ye Guo. Do you understand everything?"

hum! ! !

Fatty Zhu's words are the most terrible. Which one of these people present is not a human being, how can they not understand the real intention of Fatty Zhu's words?

The county magistrate dared to avoid the limelight, and now Longxi County is temporarily in charge of Guo Ye and Ma Gongcao.

This is the power for the two of Guo Ye to cut first and play later, tsk tsk, the weight in everyone's hearts tilted slightly, and they also put away their contempt for Guo Ye, at least for now, they dare not underestimate it.

At this time, an old man stood tremblingly on the first chair on the right. Guo Ye knew this person. This old man was Xu Chongnian, the owner of the largest restaurant "Food for the Sky" in Longxi County. The middle area is a must, and it seems that there are semicolons in Yizhou County.

Xu Chongnian stood up with his old arms and legs, clasped his fists and bowed and said, "I've heard of Brother Guo's name before, since the county magistrate has entrusted such a large county town in Longxi to my brother, it's a matter of trust. Although the old man is a merchant who deals with those stinky things all day long, he guards my Longxi county seat and does his part, no matter if it is money or effort, Xiaoge Guo just orders it."

These words are righteous and awe-inspiring, and they are a model of understanding the general situation and taking into account the overall situation. Hearing Guo Ye's relief, he is as happy as he is.

Guo Ye nodded, held his shelf and smiled lightly, and praised: "Mr. Xu understands righteousness deeply, and the leader of this squad is exactly what he meant. Bandits attack the city, and the enemy is outnumbered, but the leader of this squad and his gang Brothers, you can’t sit idly by, can you? So the head of this squad will organize the county government servants and the young and strong of the city to go to the city gate together to resist the bandits’ siege.”

Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing Guo Ye's promise.

"but--"

Guo Ye changed the subject and sighed softly: "It's a disaster to defend the city against the enemy, and there will always be casualties or something, so the leader of this team thinks so, if the young and strong yamen servants are not afraid of sacrifices, they will fight bravely. Enemy, there is only one way, and that is—a brave man with a heavy reward. As for the silver reward, hehe, everyone, you understand."

After saying that, Guo Ye stretched out his hands to spread out to everyone, the meaning is obvious, the little brother is here to send people to protect the safety of the county, you rich and prostitutes should be mean anyway, right?

How could these spirits present not understand this meaning?

However, there are those who understand righteousness like Xu Chongnian, and of course there are also some iron cocks who are unwilling to pluck their hair.

Sure enough, after Guo Ye's words fell, opposite Xu Chongnian, a person on the left side of the court also stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Brother Guo, what you said is wrong. You are receiving the imperial salary and eating the royal food. Naturally, you must be the one who protects the people. Why do you want us to pay money? Could it be that our money was blown by the wind?"

"That's right, Tian's big head is right, isn't that the reason?"

"In the first place, it's difficult to do business this year. The imperial court has increased taxes on merchants. Why do we still have to pay the rewards for keeping the city?"

"That's right, our Fan family has high walls and thick walls. When the bandits invade the city, they won't be able to loot my Fan family. Even if I'm a rich man, I won't be able to pay this money."

……

……

It seems that this is what the majority of people think, and they basically hold opposing opinions on the issue of rewarding silver to support the city defenders.

In an instant,

Guo Ye's complexion suddenly darkened. He knew who was the first to refute him with his big head. This bastard was the person who sold the most private salt in Qin Wei's account books. His surname was Tian and his name was Ji Yu, because his head was so big. , coupled with the fact that he loves to plan carefully, he earned the nickname "Tian Da Da Da Da" in the circle of merchants.

Guo Ye took a look at these clowns who jumped out of the thorns one by one, and they were basically people who were listed in Qin Wei's account book.

snort!

Guo Ye sneered in his heart, he couldn't cry without seeing the coffin.

Immediately, Guo Ye took out the account book in his arms and weighed it in his hands, then turned his gaze to Tian's big head and snorted coldly: "Stop him? Let me fix these stupid things, tell you In the last two sentences, you should consider yourself a goddamn person, right? Grandson, let’s read your own great achievements before talking about it!”

"Snapped!"

Guo Ye raised his hand and tossed it casually, and the account book was thrown high and drew an arc, flying into the arms of Tian's big head.

Tian's big head was taken aback by Guo Ye's sudden anger. Seeing Guo Ye's words so confidently, he couldn't help showing timidity, and slowly opened the account book with a guilty conscience.

It’s okay if you don’t look at it, but after looking at it, huh~~

Tian's big head's complexion became ugly. How could this be his own great achievements?

It records the ugly things of myself, He Kun, and Qin Wei and others in detail, accurate to a certain time of a certain year, a certain month, a certain day, and a certain location and weight to the extreme.

wipe! !

Tian's big head realized that what he was holding was not an account book, but a death talisman that would kill him, and he wished he could swallow this hot potato into his stomach on the spot.

Guo Ye looked at Tian's head, which was half dead, and spat in his heart, fuck it, I need to clean it up!

Then he shouted at Tian Tou Da: "Don't be dazed, Tian Tou Da? Pass it down one by one to watch!"

As soon as these words came out, Tian's big head shook his hands violently, and dropped the account book to the ground.

The people around him didn't know what it was, so they rushed forward to pick up the account book and check it out.

Similarly, it's okay not to read it, but after reading it, they all changed their colors, and only a very small number of people present were not included in the account books.

As for those famous merchants on the list, they looked at Guo Ye with pitiful expressions, seemingly intending to negotiate.

It's impossible not to discuss it, now the whole Longxi County is decided by this young brat, life and death are at the discretion of others, not to mention that there is a reason to be controlled by people?

……

Ding Ding Deng! ! !

A sound of running hurriedly broke in from the outside, it was Cheng Erniu with a riding whip in his hand.

I saw that after Cheng Erniu broke into the court, he ignored the people present and reported directly to Guo Ye: "Brother, the scouts in front of you are here to report back. The thieves came with nearly a thousand people in a threatening manner. From, we are only [-] meters away from Longxi County. It's ten miles away."

what?

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar!

Not to mention those big merchants who were timid and afraid of death, even Guo Ye almost couldn't control his composure and exclaimed.

Guo Ye thought,

The thieves are here in a blink of an eye, and there is no longer any time to delay on these nonsense.

Immediately, he glanced at everyone and asked coldly: "Everyone, hurry up, what do you mean by this silver reward? Express your opinion?"

Chapter 119

In the past, Guo Ye held everyone's hand and was under the control of others. Later, there were bandits and bandits who came to the city and were only ten miles away. The situation was severe, and a war was imminent.
