Chapter 61 [Great Sui Guancang, the legacy of the wealthy]
But seeing Gu Tianya pondering for a moment, he spoke again, saying: "The Turks can be defended, but the court is difficult to fight. If the family cannot exert pressure by colluding with the grassland, they will definitely throw all their strength at the court. It's a pity that this time
We don't have the strength to do this."
Zhao Ning hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said softly: "I think since the Li family is in charge of the world, they must have the means to check and balance the family. There is an emperor, a prince, a large number of Tang royal families in the court, and there are so many direct descendants of the princes, maybe
They have been planning for a long time and are waiting to compete with the world's famous families."
Gu Tianya was stunned immediately, and after a long time he said thoughtfully: "This is quite reasonable, but it seems that my vision is still too low."
The second worry can be put aside for the time being.
The only thing left is the third one.
How should aristocratic families control grain sales?
Zhao Ning had been remembering what Gu Tianya had said before, and finally got the chance. He quickly asked: "You said you have a solution, tell everyone quickly. What kind of magical method can you resist?"
Is the family’s poisonous plan to control the sale of grain?”
After this question was asked, everyone looked at Gu Tianya. Everyone was equally curious and didn't know what they could do.
But he saw Gu Tianya take a deep breath, and suddenly spit out sixteen words slowly, one word at a time: "The trees were planted in the Sui Dynasty, and they were used by the Tang Dynasty to enjoy the cool weather. They were left behind by the last dynasty and are the eight major granaries."
Everyone was startled and looked confused.
Only Zhao Ning suddenly remembered something and blurted out: "I understand, you are talking about the eight granaries left by the Sui Dynasty. There are tens of millions of stones of grain in them, which is enough to support us in resisting the family's grain control plan.
"
Unexpectedly, Gu Tianya suddenly shook his head and said in a deep voice: "You are wrong, there is no food in there."
Zhaoning was immediately stunned, his face full of disbelief.
Gu Tianya glanced at her, suddenly sighed and said, "Maybe I should put it another way, there is food there, but there is no food we need."
This statement sounds very twisted and contradictory and unreasonable.
Everyone became even more confused.
They couldn't understand what Gu Tianya wanted to say.
Fortunately, Gu Tianya followed up and explained carefully: "In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, many granaries were built all over the world to continuously store food to fight against the famine. Among them, there were eight super granaries. It is said that each giant granary has
There are millions of stones of grain in stock, but as a result, there is no shortage of food, and the world has risen. Those granaries have been occupied by everyone, which has become the basis for the anti-kings to fight for the world."
Zhao Ning couldn't help but said, Ruoyou said with emotion: "Xingluocang, Huiluocang, Changpingcang, Liyangcang..."
She once led troops on conquests in troubled times, and was very familiar with the situation of the world's granaries. She kept naming the granaries one by one, and it took a long time before she let out a breath of shock and said: "I actually forgot, the Sui Dynasty left us
The family background is very strong." "Note 1: Historical records indicate that the Tang Dynasty did not eat up all the food left by the Sui Dynasty until the eleventh year of Zhenguan. Including the nine years after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it took a total of twenty years."
Unexpectedly, Gu Tianya suddenly sighed again and said with some sadness: "It's a pity that the food in the granary is gone."
"This is impossible!" Zhao Ning spoke subconsciously and retorted: "I once heard someone say that those grains can last for twenty years."
"Yes, it can last for twenty years!" Gu Tianya nodded, but then quickly shook his head and said: "Unfortunately, this is just an appearance!"
He paused for a moment while speaking, his eyes slowly swept over everyone's faces, and said softly: "No matter how big the granary is, it can't withstand a deficit, no matter how much grain is stored, it can't bear the rats. The Sui Dynasty left countless
Granary, plus eight super large warehouses, but the food in these granaries has probably been moved into the warehouses of various aristocratic families..."
After everyone heard this, they finally realized.
Aristocratic family, again aristocratic family.
Ninety percent of the officials in the world are from aristocratic families. Although the Li family's royal family has conquered the country, it is the aristocratic family that is in charge of the place.
After a piece of fat meat is passed by someone, it will be stained with oil even if you don't eat it. And when those officials from aristocratic families are in charge of a place, they don't just pass it by. They are directly responsible for taking charge of the granaries of various places.
If the guardians have the same interests, they will inevitably breed theft.
This is the meaning of guarding and stealing.
Gu Tianya suddenly spoke and said in a deep voice: "If I were a noble family in a certain place, how could I resist reaching for the granary? Let's still use the Miyun Sun family as an analogy. For example, I am now the head of the Miyun Sun family.
So, guess what I will do?"
He kept asking everyone to guess, but in fact he had already spoken again and said: "In Miyun County, there is also a small granary left by the former Sui Dynasty. Although this granary is slightly smaller, it is an official granary after all. It is said that ten grains are stored in the granary.
Ten thousand stones, enough to feed the people of Miyun County for ten years. It has to be said that this was a great achievement of the former Sui Dynasty. It stored surplus grain in the prosperous times and could tide over the crisis in the lean years. This granary is the wealth left by the previous dynasty, and it should belong to Miyun County.
All common people share it, but when the Tang Dynasty was founded, it was in the hands of local officials. To be precise, it was in the hands of officials who were born in the Sun family in Miyun..."
He paused for a moment before saying, "How can I not swallow the fat in my mouth? If I were a member of the Sun family in Miyun, I would definitely move the grain from the official warehouse home. This is
It's very simple to do. It's just a matter of guarding and stealing. It's easy to get. I only need to leave a little food in the granary to meet the regular inspections and inspections of the household department. Even if there is a surprise inspection, the problem will not be too big.
, because almost all the officials in the Tang Dynasty came from aristocratic families, everyone has long been accustomed to this kind of thing. If there is an emergency and we need food urgently, the food I left can be easily dealt with, so everything is worry-free, and I
, has already enriched his own pockets."
Zhao Ning's face turned pale after hearing this, and everyone felt a chill on their backs.
As if peeling off a cocoon, Gu Tianya slowly revealed a great secret in the world. Everyone could hear that this great secret was his guess. Although it was a guess, it was very true.
It is so thorough and logical that after listening to it, people have no choice but to believe that the aristocratic family has emptied the official warehouses left over from the Sui Dynasty.
After a long time passed, Zhao Ning slowly spoke and said: "Now I finally understand why you just said that although there is food in the granary, it does not have the food we need..."
The so-called granary is full of food because the family left some food for inspections.
There is no needed food because that part of the food has become food for the noble family.
Zhaoning suddenly looked at Gu Tianya, as if everything suddenly came to her mind, she suddenly grabbed Gu Tianya's arm and said in surprise: "You have said so much before and after, but actually there is only one thing you want to say, you
Focusing on the official warehouse of the Sui Dynasty, what you want to target is the grain that the aristocratic family has moved away. If these grains can be returned to the official warehouse, you no longer have to worry about the aristocratic family controlling the sale of grain..."
She paused while speaking, and suddenly had a new realization, and said in surprise: "These grains returned to the official warehouse are even the grains that have been sold by the family grain store. This is a strategy in the art of war to draw out the firepower. It can be said that
It’s a stroke of genius.”
Gu Tianya smiled slightly and said: "When the deficit is not realized, it is a matter of enriching one's own pockets. Once it is exposed, it is a violation of the law. No matter how powerful the family is, there are still some rules that need to be followed. If they are unwilling to return the big family
The grain left over from the Sui Dynasty is determined to violate the laws of the country and empty the official warehouse of grain, which will undoubtedly shake the foundation of the country. If you persist in not wanting to return it, wouldn't it be punishable as a treason and rebellion?"
The crime of treason is the only reason for the royal family to disturb the family.
Although the royal family and the aristocratic family have co-ruled the world since ancient times, and there is a certain balance of mutual tolerance between the two parties, there is only one thing that the royal family will not tolerate, and that is the aristocratic family's desire to shake the foundation of the royal family.
If you dare to rebel and cause trouble, I will kill you.
