I, Dong Zhuo, love the people like a son

On the other hand, when Jia Xu, who was being dragged, heard this, his expression changed suddenly, and he finally realized something: This fat man turned his face and refused to recognize anyone, so cruel and ruthless!

Chapter 10 Who did the chicken and the dog provoke?

The hall of the Taiwei Mansion is very spacious, and the distance from the center to the door is enough for Jia Xu to recall a part of his past.

At that time, he was only a young man with a weak crown. After being prosecuted as a man by Xiaolian, he resigned due to illness. On his way back to his hometown westward, he arrived in Qiandi, where he met a rebellious Di people.

At that time, dozens of people who were traveling with him were all captured, and a grave for hundreds of people had also been dug.

There is no doubt that the Di people will bury these Han people alive-the Han Di hatred is as deep as the sea, lasting for a hundred years.To these Di people, killing them is like eating and drinking water, no reason is needed.

Oh, just for fun...

When the soil was buried up to his waist, Jia Xu said to the Di people calmly and calmly without changing his expression: "Don't bury me in a hurry, I am the nephew of Taiwei Duan, and the Taiwei will definitely pay a lot of money to redeem me. You make a fortune."

At that time, Duan Jiong, the Taiwei, had been a frontier general for a long time, and his power was powerful in the west.

When he said those words, he saw the hesitation of the leader of the Di people, and his eyes shot at him one after another. He continued to pretend to be calm, and even looked arrogant.

A moment later, the leader of the Di people swung a knife, and he stared at the light of the knife with his eyes wide open.

Thus, the scimitar stopped in mid-air.

Immediately, the leader of the Di people pretended to be bold and laughed, and the other Di people also hurriedly rescued him from the pit, speaking unproficient Chinese, and talking to him like 'misunderstanding'.

Jia Xu remembers very clearly that that night when the sky was high and the earth was far away, even the wind was full of arrogance.He exchanged cups with the rebellious Di people around the bonfire, promising various benefits, bluffing those Di people into calling him brothers.

Early the next morning, he wiped the delicious food from his mouth, and rode away amidst the nodding and bowing farewells of the Di people.And behind him is the living death pit where dozens of people in the same company are buried.

I thought that the closest I was to death was that night.And, with his intelligence and courage, he handled it quite beautifully.

But now, he never expected that the biggest disaster in his life would be here, at the hands of this cruel fat man!

He could clearly feel that this fat man was really murderous, and compared to the group of brainless Di people before, the fat man was still soft and hard, and he did things simply and decisively. Facing such a demon star, his own Thousands of coercion, lures, resourcefulness and strategies in the mind are useless.

No, there is no room for display at all!

What's even worse is that, at the beginning, I was alone, but now I have a family and have children... But this cruel and brutal fat man won't even let go of his own chickens and dogs!

Jia Xu, a scholar who met soldiers, turned around a thousand times, and finally when his legs were about to be dragged out of the threshold, he had to let go of the arrogance in his heart, and quickly shouted in fear and shame: "Taiwei, wait a minute!"

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but secretly happy, but when he turned his face, he still had an impatient expression: "What's the matter?"

"The subordinates are quick to gain wisdom, and already know why the Taiwei called his subordinates to come..."

"Oh?……"

Jia Xu wanted to break free from the dragging of the guards and stepped forward to talk to Dong Zhuo.The guards also saw that things had turned around, but when they were about to let go, they saw Dong Zhuo glaring at them!

Therefore, Jia Xu could only be dragged along in humiliation, and said shamelessly and helplessly: "The Taiwei summoned his subordinates this time to discuss the cancellation of the looting of Luoyang, right?"

"Hmm..." Old Dong nodded imperceptibly and waved his hand.

The guard at the side understood, let go of Jia Xu immediately, and quietly exited the hall, as if he had never been there before.

After experiencing this narrow escape, Jia Xu's complexion could no longer be calm, she straightened her clothes with low brows, and walked respectfully to the side of the hall with small steps like a wronged daughter-in-law.

Of course, Old Dong knew the truth that too much was too late, and he never showed any mocking or contemptuous expressions.After putting on a serious look, he talked to Li Ru about the business: "Wenyou, how should we deal with this matter?"

Li Ru can think of anything now, but he hasn't reacted at all, okay?

Firstly, he didn't know how Jia Xu knew what Dong Zhuo was doing, and secondly, he didn't know how Dong Zhuo would know why Jia Xu knew why he came here this time... Then, the two of them were so close because of this matter just now. Want to kill Jia Xu's chickens and dogs?

Who did the chicken and the dog provoke?

Fortunately, he was also a person who had seen it before, and after listening to Old Dong's inquiry, he thought: "Teacher, the Taiwei didn't want to plunder Luoyang, but his purpose was not to lose the hearts of the people."

"At the same time, those people who live in the bitter cold don't have a lot of money in their families. Instead, the houses of noble relatives in Guangli and Yongheli face each other. There is no money and silk property, and every family has a lot of money..."

At this point, Li Ru lowered his head and closed his eyes, and said no more.

But he didn't need to say more about the latter, Dong Zhuo could also hear it: "You mean, let the soldiers spare the civilians in other places in Luoyang, and go to Buguangli and Yongheli to rob his mother's rich people?"

Li Ru choked, and couldn't help complaining in his heart: I won't talk about it later, as long as we know it well, why do you have to say it so clearly?

Jia Xu on the side heard this, but couldn't help but frown, and hesitated to speak.

Old Dong glanced at him, but ignored him.After closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, he waved his hands and said: "No, it won't work like this."

"Why?" Li Ru was a little puzzled.

"First of all, I don't know if doing this will not lose the hearts of the people, but it will definitely offend those court officials. The old man has just entered the court, and his foundation is not stable, especially in governing the world and reconciling the Dingnai. If Zongbing robbed their mansion, and must regard this old man as the murderer of his father and enemy."

As soon as these words came out, Li Ru immediately showed annoyance, knowing that he hadn't thought carefully.Jia Xu looked at Dong Zhuo in surprise, but remained silent.

Unexpectedly, Old Dong stretched out one finger, then stretched out another finger, and continued: "Secondly, soldiers are the most important weapon of the country, and they are even more murderous weapons. This time you just want the soldiers to plunder two miles, With the blade out of its sheath, how can we have the ability to manipulate it freely?"

"Once those disobedient Qiang Hu rob their eyes and hurt Li Shu, the disobedient soldiers of each battalion will fight to follow suit... At that time, man-made disasters will be raging, and the law cannot be blamed. How can we steal chickens and lose money? Still in a dilemma?"

"Taiwei..." Hearing this, Li Ru was completely convinced, and bowed to apologize: "This subordinate is shallow in thinking and almost caused a catastrophe. I hope the Taiwei will punish him."

"What's the crime?" Dong Zhuo waved his hand again, and said openly, "Let's sum it up, say what you want, brainstorm. If you say something wrong, you will be punished. Who will dare to speak to me in the future?"

As soon as these words came to an end, Jia Xu's expression became strange: Why pretend to be broad-minded? I just didn't want to talk just now, so you're going to kill my chickens and dogs, okay?

But this time, Old Dong saw him again, and stared at him and said, "It doesn't matter if you say the wrong thing here, but if you dare to hold back, hehe..."

As he spoke, his hand touched the saber at his waist unconsciously.

Then, he frowned, looked at Jia Xu firmly, and didn't speak.

Jia Xu was helpless, but for the sake of the chickens and dogs at home... No, it was for the lives of the whole family, so he could only go forward and salute: "Taiwei, my subordinates have a plan, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"Hehe, what do you say?"

Jia Xu's hands hidden in his sleeves were hardened again, but his face was still respectful: "Taiwei, what the soldiers wanted to plunder Luoyang was nothing more than gold and silk property, then we will give gold and silk property to the soldiers, and invite them to buy the soldiers' morale." Can."

Dong Zhuo's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he opened his thick lips lightly, and said two words leisurely: "Nonsense!"

Chapter 11 Where did you hide the old man's gold!

Old Dong originally thought that after he uttered these two words, Jia Xu would explode.

Unexpectedly, this time the old fox was not aggrieved or angry at all. Instead, he smiled slightly and continued to hold Zhizhu in his hands: "The Taiwei is now in the list of the three lords, and he is in charge of the universe. He must be very clear about the income and expenditure of my big man for a hundred years? "

This remark made old Dong choke: I just traveled here not long ago, even if I inherited Dong Zhuo’s memory, at most I know the situation of the generals, soldiers and horses under my command, and I can’t even recognize the scholar-bureaucrats in the Han court, so how can I know anything? The income and expenditure situation of the big man over the past century?

But in this situation, I seem to really be aware of it...

Fortunately, there is Li Ru beside him, who is also a cultural person, and he has a common language with Jia Xu: "Dong Gong has just entered the court, and it is too late to learn more about it. How does it relate to the cancellation of the looting of Luoyang by troops?"

"Well, not bad..." Old Dong finally found the steps, and said, "Well, what do you mean by all this?"

Jia Xu was in the middle of talking, and when he was disturbed by Old Dong, he choked up.Immediately, he turned to Li Rudao: "Lang Zhongling thinks, in the past hundred years, have my big man's gold and silk wealth increased or decreased?"

"This..." Li Ru really didn't think about this question, he hesitated: "Should it be less?"

“How come you see?”

"Uh……"

"Confucianism remembers that since the founding of my country, the great ancestors have rewarded meritorious officials with gold in thousands of catties. When Emperor Wu rewarded Wei Qing to conquer the Xiongnu, the reward amounted to 20 catties of gold at one time, and the treasury still had 20 catties of gold left. "

"How much?" Upon hearing this, the old Dong's eyes turned red, and his voice trembled with excitement.

"Two, 20 catties..."

With Li Ru's affirmative answer, Old Dong's fat face flushed immediately: A catty in the Han Dynasty was almost equivalent to half a catty in his era, but even half a catty was still worth [-] catties.

One hundred thousand catties.

Calculated at 400 yuan per gram of gold, one hundred thousand catties of gold is... 200 billion!

If this reward was given to Zhang Liao's subordinates who wanted food and clothes, they would be so happy, wouldn't their loyalty be soaring?

For a moment, Old Dong couldn't help holding his breath, for fear of missing every word of Jia Xu's next words.

"More than that, in the second year of Taishi, Emperor Wu also issued an edict to select high-quality gold to make horseshoe gold, in harmony with auspiciousness, and use it for royal rewards, gifts, betrothal gifts, large transactions and foreign exchanges."

"When Emperor Wu was so rich, he still selected pure 24K from gold to create legal currency for circulation?"

When these words came out, both Li Ru and Jia Xu looked at Lao Dong in surprise: After all, the term 24K is pure, even if they read the whole book, they don't know what it means.

But at this time, Old Dong was obviously more emotional, and they didn't dare to speak or ask.

"Wen You, how much gold do we have in the treasury now?" As soon as the words came out, Old Dong regretted: If there was money in the treasury, why would he be so worried?

Sure enough, Li Ru looked ashamed: "Back to Taiwei, there is not even a thousand catties of gold in the treasury at present."

"Where's the money!..." Old Dong became angry and asked angrily, "Where is all the old man's money?"

"Hui, Hui Taiwei, the former Han king Mang usurped the throne and was extravagant. Although there was Guangwu Zhongxing later, in the past hundred years, the Han Dynasty has revived Buddhist temples to relieve famines in various places, and the second emperor Huanling has built large-scale construction projects and gardens, especially in recent years. Hu's chaos, the inland yellow turban ant thieves are raging..."

"Lang Zhongling's words are wrong. Gold has been consumed a lot in the past hundred years, but there is also the foreign trade of silk and the huge inflow of gold from Daqin."

Of course, Old Dong knew that the Great Qin Jia Xu was referring to was not the Qin Dynasty before the Han Dynasty, but the ancient Roman Empire.

But he is obviously more concerned about another question: "Yes, a lot of gold is spent, but there is also an inflow. Where did the money go?"

Li Ru was speechless for a moment.

Jia Xu added fuel to the fire, and said with a mysterious and cunning smile: "My subordinates roughly estimated that the gold that disappeared for no reason during this period must be at least 40 catties..."

"40 million catties!"

400 billion!

Old Dong heard that his breathing was heavy, he stepped forward and picked up Jia Xu's collar, and asked viciously, "Where did you hide all the old man's gold!"

Jia Xu kicked up and down with his legs off the ground, his face turned purple: "Tai, Taiwei... I didn't hide it."

"Don't get excited, Taiwei." Li Ru couldn't see it anymore, so he hurried forward to persuade him.

Old Dong hurriedly put down Jia Xu, and straightened his clothes with a silly smile: "Then, that old man got excited for a while, don't take it offended by Wen He."

Jia Xu was wronged: Do I dare to blame?

But the question had to be answered, and he couldn't help but smile reservedly, and said slowly: "Did the Taiwei ever know where the income of the Dahan treasury is invested?"

Old Dong was already very anxious at this time, seeing that Jia Xu was still showing off, Dang Shi stretched out his generous and powerful hand, pinched it vigorously in front of his eyes, and said with a fake smile: "Wenhe, are your chickens and dogs healthy?" ?”

I! ...

Jia Xu called this an internal injury: You vulgar old hat, can you read more books in peacetime!

However, he glanced at Dong Zhuo's casserole-sized fist and the impatient murderous look in his eyes: "Return to Taiwei, those golds that disappeared in large quantities were all used for burial in the emperor's tomb..."

Funeral? "Old Dong's expression was instantly astonished.

At the same time, he also recalled that thick burials were very prominent in the Han Dynasty. From the emperors and nobles to the common people, thick burials were generally practiced. There are "the rich embroidered walls and inscriptions, the middle ones had catalpa coffins and inner coffins, the poor painted barren robes, and the sacks were carried."橐” style.

Mainly in the Han Dynasty, Huang Lao thought and the prophecy culture with the core of "Yin Yang and Five Elements" were popular, and they paid attention to the concept of "death is like life" and the concept of immortality.In addition, after the Han Dynasty "exclusively respected Confucianism", the Confucian concept of filial piety also promoted the custom of thick burials, and "thick burials" became a means for people to show filial piety and raise their reputations.

"So that's the case, I don't know that Wenhe is so knowledgeable!" Hearing this, Li Ru suddenly realized: "That's right, in the "Hanshu" that Master Cai has not finished, there is a story from the emperor to the common people. It’s a record of “Yishixiaxia”. Confucianism can only lament that everyone Cai knows a lot after reading this, but Wenhe can apply what he has learned so much!”

Unexpectedly, his blood was boiling here, but Old Dong looked like a sage in the dull time. After sitting back on the bed, he waved his hands depressedly: "After talking for a long time, I still have to dig the grave..."

Li Ru and Jia Xu looked at each other in astonishment, and then, it was Li Ru who suddenly realized: "The same is true of the strategy that the Taiwei did not say before?"

"That's not."

Old Dong, who was calm on the surface, was secretly pretending to be coercive: there was a record in the history books about Dong Zhuo's robbery and excavation of the emperor's tomb. He is very short of money now, how could he not remember it?

I asked Jia Xu to come over, mainly to see if there was any other way.

Unexpectedly, the old fox had been pretending for a long time, making his heart surge, and it turned out to be the same way... Huh, why don't he pretend to be a wave now?

But when he was being arrogant and enjoying the astonishment of Jia Xu, the top counselor in the history of the Three Kingdoms, Li Ru suddenly spoke again, and said in panic and anxiety: "Taiwei, this is absolutely impossible!"

Chapter 12 Taiwei is tall, really tall!

Out of desperation, Li Ru regretted it after he finished speaking: The Taiwei has been devastated by this matter these days, and even received a whipping.It's hard to find a solution, but I'm so indifferent...

Just now, he was so excited that he mentioned Jia Xu with one hand. If he blamed him, his chickens and dogs would...

Immediately, he hurriedly said: "Taiwei, the subordinates are loyal, and the words of the talented person have no other intentions. However, the robbery and excavation of the tomb is of great importance, and it will really make people and gods all over the world angry. Once the news leaks, the Taiwei will be accused by Wan Fu. People from all directions are afraid to attack...

"At that time, even the people in Luoyang that the Taiwei wants to protect will be in danger and turn into enemies in anger. Isn't this more that... well, stealing a chicken is not a loss?"

After saying this, Li Ru lowered his head, not daring to look at Dong Zhuo's face at all, always terrified and worried that the wrath of thunder would descend upon him.

Jia Xu, who was on the side, couldn't help feeling sad when he heard the words.
