The second tiger is led by the task to make up for the mistake, how can he only take advantage of the advantage and shirk the responsibility?
briefly explained the reason, and at the same time told the guard general that there would be other instructions from the court in the future, so there was no need to worry about responsibility.Just when the two were discussing countermeasures, a group of Hu people broke into the city of Fuyu, about more than 100 people were all young and strong laborers, and after entering the city, these people went straight to the grain shop of the Du Family Chamber of Commerce, showing the hidden blade, and actually began to rob and rob the grain.This scene was unexpected by the people of the Du Family Chamber of Commerce, so there was a fight between the two sides, and the result was that the men of the Chamber of Commerce and the shopkeeper were injured and retreated, and sent people to the General's Mansion for help.Because Fuyu City is located on the border of the former Tang Dynasty, it has always been a border city under military management, and now its status has soared, and it has become the first transit city of northern trade, so the imperial court attaches great importance to it, and the guard force has been increased to 10,000 people, so you can see patrolling soldiers or martial marquis in the city from time to time every day.By the time the guards and the two tigers heard the news, the Hu people who had robbed the grain had all been taken down.The men and guards of the Chamber of Commerce lightly injured eight people, seriously injured two people, and the head of the shopkeeper was broken, but fortunately, these Hu people did not have any good blades, they were all sticks and the like, otherwise it would have been a massacre."
Who are you?
How bold you dare to go to Buyeo City to kill people and loot?
”The Keeper asked.The leader roared with a hideous face: "If you want to kill, you can't live anymore, it's all you cunning Tang businessmen, desperately raising the price of grain, instead of waiting to starve to death, it's better to do it happily." ”Well??
The guard general and the two tigers glanced at each other, and the two of them showed a solemn look in their eyes at the same time, the situation is developing so fast, there are already mobs, and they dare to go straight to Buyeo City, it seems that the situation is not optimistic."
What a mob, kill people and sell goods, and dare to use strong words, come to someone, put me in prison" "Slow!
General, there may be a misunderstanding in this matter, so it's better to ask clearly first. ”The second tiger blocked."
Shopkeeper Du, what do you mean?
It is an indisputable fact that people kill people and sell more goods, and this injured person is everywhere, what misunderstanding can there be?
”The defender was puzzled.Erhu groaned: "If it's just the reason for their gang, then it's indeed a crime to kill people and oversell goods."
But if all the Hu people in the north think so, then there is a problem, even if you punish this group of people, then there will definitely be more and more such desperate people in the future.Therefore, it is still necessary to solve the trouble and ask clearly, if it is a misunderstanding, just solve it, after all, the Chamber of Commerce has no grievances with these people, and it will continue to cooperate in the future. ”"Well, in that case, then you can ask."
The guard will give power to the two tigers.Erhu looked at this scene and said to the people watching around: "Fellow villagers, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, the Han people and the Hu brothers in Fuyu City have coexisted for countless years, everyone has always been harmonious, and no one wants to make trouble."
So I dare to ask, is it true that this brother said that there is no food at home and he can't survive?
Is it just his family, or is everyone's family in trouble?
”Isn't this knowingly asked?
Just now we were talking about the problem of the gradual chaos, and now you are confused.I saw the people shouting sympathetically: "This Shangguan, spare this group of descendants, there are not many descendants on the grassland."
If it weren't for the fact that the pot couldn't be opened at home, no one would come out and desperately grab things.Not only his family, but our family is basically short of food, and we have not eaten a full meal for almost a month, so we may not be able to survive the famine if we are so frugal. ”What???
Really?
Erhu asked the young man who was being held in surprise.A trace of sadness flashed in the man's eyes, but he replied angrily: "Don't pretend here, if it weren't for your continuous increase in food prices, how would we have fallen like this?"
It's all you goddamn merchants!
”"Young man, why are you so extreme?
You only know that we raise the price of food, but you don't ask why we raise the price of food, and then you conclude that we are doing harm?
The Chamber of Commerce has been rooted in Buyeo City for several years, and has been doing business with you, we are a mutually beneficial relationship of cooperation, we have killed you, what good is it for us?
”The image of the second tiger at this time is like a black-bellied and cunning profiteer fooling people.After all, the young man was too young and his cognitive level was limited, so he couldn't answer and simply stiffened his neck and argued: "Who knows what benefits you have?"
My grandfather said that the Tang people are enemies of us, and they always want to trap us, and you businessmen, who only care about making money, where do you care about the life and death of our people?
”At this time, the guard general was dissatisfied: "Presumptuous!
When did Datang become mortal enemies with you?
So, why was it Goguryeo that everyone joined forces to attack before?
This shows that we have always been allies.After the war, the big leaders of the Hu people of your three clans saw that my Tang Dynasty was strong, and in order to make the Hu brothers rich quickly, let everyone ask for the hard days of the past, and have the heart to propose to join the Tang Dynasty.Our Majesty is benevolent and righteous, and readily accepts, so since last winter, whether it is the Hu people or the Han people, all of them are the people of the Tang Dynasty, what is the difference between you and me?
What is your intention in preaching hatred like this?
Do you want the Hu people and the Han people to continue to fight for generations?
”As soon as the guard's words came out, the people around him suddenly pointed and pointed at the young man and criticized constantly, everyone is a hard-working low-level people, everyone hates to fight, fights every year, dies every year, the more they fight, the poorer they become, and life is not easy at all.You, your young man, were pale, and could no longer speak."
Okay, okay general, he's still an ignorant child, where do you know the difficulties of the world, we have to give him time to grow."
Erhu opened his mouth to persuade, and this move attracted the applause of the surrounding people, all of whom said that the shopkeeper Du was benevolent and righteous.Erhu stepped forward and personally helped the young man, and said earnestly like an elder teaching a junior: "Young man, do you know why the price of food has risen?
Every year in winter, the price of grain will rise, which may not be familiar to the Hu brothers on the grassland, but the original Goguryeo people here must be familiar with it. ”As he spoke, he looked at some of the people in the crowd who were dressed as Goguryeo servants, and some enthusiastically stood up in agreement: "Yes, it has been a practice for many years to raise prices in winter, and this is clear to both the people who are doing business and buying grain.Because in winter, heavy snow and ice block the roads, and the difficulty of grain transportation increases, and the original one-day journey may take three days, and the food supply is tight, and the price increase is natural. ”Oh, that's the reason.Many Hu people suddenly realized, and some even whispered: "I remember that when the price of grain rose here at the beginning, the guy explained the reason, but no one believed it." ”The two tigers didn't expect that there would be enthusiastic people to help explain, and it would be much easier to do now.Then the man's words, Erhu said: "This uncle is right, the difficulty of transportation is only one of them, the most important thing is that the consumption of grain transportation has doubled, the consumption of one day has become three days, and the cost of long-distance grain transportation is unimaginable."
Our chamber of commerce has calculated that if grain is transported here from Chang'an in the mainland, people will eat and chew along the way, and eighty percent of the grain will be consumed on the road. ”What??
Probably?
So much?
Erhu affirmed: "That's right, it sounds a little appalling, but it's a thing, because it's not the Liaodong region of the Tang Dynasty that can supply grain here, they can only get the local people to be self-sufficient, and the grain sold here must be mobilized from the grain-producing places in the Central Plains."
We paid 10 percent of the grain money to buy grain, and only 20 percent of the grain was left when we shipped it, so it stands to reason that the price should rise five times, but how much do we really increase the price?
You should be aware. ”"It's impossible, the price of food is less than three times higher than at the peak of winter, you can't afford to trade at a loss, right?"
Some shrewd civilians questioned.Erhu sighed: "Although it is not a loss, but it is almost, it is only enough to keep the principal of the purchase flat, if you count the accident loss on our transportation road, it is really a loss." ”Many people shouted: "Don't brag, I haven't seen a businessman in this world who doesn't make money and loses money?"
Who believes?
What do you eat when you lose money?

”Erhu raised his voice and said, "Then have you ever seen a benevolent country like Datang in this world?"
When has there ever been a business chamber like the Du Family Chamber of Commerce, which has traveled all over the world?
Our Chamber of Commerce exercises the right of half of the treasury in the Tang Dynasty, the first meaning is not to collect money, but to protect the people, to protect the people of the Tang Dynasty, originally the Han people and the Hu people belong to different countries, we will not sell so much food to you at all, after all, we are also short of food in many places in the Central Plains.You can ask the Goguryeo brothers present, they know best that in the past, if they wanted to buy grain, they had to supply it in limited quantities, after all, merchants could not bear the charge of being a personal enemy. ”Many Goguryeo people bowed their heads one by one, as if the two countries were opposed before, and the suffering that everyone endured in Buyeo City was an unbearable memory, and this scene let everyone know that what the Du family shopkeeper said was all the truth."
But now it's different, this year we have never limited supply, because you and I are both people of the Tang Dynasty, whether it is the Hu people or the Goguryeo people present, we will be Datang's own people in the future, we are siblings, we can't see death without saving, Datang can't care about the life and death of the people.If you still don't believe me, then please wait a few days, and we will report the situation here to the court, and the court will definitely respond to help you. ”Are you sure?
Many people have a light of hope in their eyes, the family is almost unable to open the pot, and the big leader is not there, even if they are still there, according to the situation in previous years, it would be good if these noble lords did not exploit everyone's breeding stock, don't count on their relief at all, many elderly people of the Hu people were infected by Erhu's words, although they wanted to trust what Erhu said was true, but their hearts were even more struggling, and they couldn't believe it.Because the grassland Hu people have a custom, in the winter of the disaster year, give up the old man to keep the young and the young.Now the Tang people say that they will help the people who can't survive, why not earlier?
If I had done it earlier, I wouldn't have had to abandon so many siblings before.At this time, the general of Fuyu City stood up: "Everyone, this general is derelict in his duties, today I only know that everyone has encountered such a big difficulty, I will send someone to send a letter to Chang'an for help in eight hundred miles, as long as it lasts for a while, the imperial court will definitely have support." ”Everyone applauded, although they didn't know whether it was true or not, but at this time, the general defending the city was very sincere, no matter what the result was, it was still worth thanking everyone."
Come on, take all these people to prison!"
The guards said one after another."
Wait a minute, General, it's all a misunderstanding, or else," Erhu interceded and persuaded again.The guard will be embarrassed: "Du shopkeeper, one yard to one yard, children are not sensible, but no matter who they are, whether they are old or young, sensible or ignorant, they must be responsible for their own behavior."
You sympathize with their suffering, but when you look back, these guys in the grain store, those who are lightly injured and those who are seriously injured, what is wrong with them?
How innocent are they beaten like this?
Who is responsible?
You'll have to sympathize with them, too. ”This Erhu didn't expect that Shou would hold this matter and oppose it.But the onlookers were persuaded by the guards, this is indeed the truth, they were beaten violently for no reason, they are also bitter masters."
General, we're fine, they're also hungry, human nature, we just need to take care of our injuries for a few days."
The injured guys stood up and said that they knew what the big shopkeeper meant, and offered to ask for reconciliation.Erhu took the opportunity to say: "General, you see, there is a way that the people do not raise officials and do not hold them accountable, it doesn't matter if you take this group of young descendants, but they are the pillars of the family, and after being asked about their responsibilities, the old and young in the family are afraid that they will not be able to live."
For their sake, let's open the net. ”This defender is in a difficult position.At this time, the young man at the head straightened his chest and said, "No, I admit what I did, I will go to prison with you!"
But there is one thing I want to make clear, these brothers were instigated by me to come and steal food, let them go back, I will bear all the charges alone, you can kill me. ”"Big brother, no, you can't die, if you want to die, let's die together!""
Yes, big brother, you still have an old lady to support at home, and my sister is still waiting to marry you," a group of descendants screamed excitedly."
Brothers, please help me take care of my wife."
The young man said with a gloomy face.At this time, the guard stood up and asked, "Boy, what's your name?"
”"My name is Aman, Yeluman!"
At this time, the general of Fuyu City somewhat admired this righteous young man, stepped forward and patted the other party's shoulder and said, "Okay, Yeluman, it's a man!"
Datang has laws, and I have no right to forgive your guilt.But I can give you a chance, you and these little brothers go back first, wait for the support of the court to come, the famine days at home have passed, and the family has settled, and you will come here again to receive the crime and be punished, I don't know if you are willing?
