Li Yuanji stood up suddenly, his face began to twist violently, and it was obvious that he could hardly control his anger. Although Li Yuanji was vicious, he was young and had a long time to be scheming. When there was a slight conflict, he would look angry, just like a romantic wild dog. He wanted to tear the other party to pieces when he was provoked.

At this time, Yuwen Xin, who was sitting aside, coughed heavily and said with a smile: "Your Highness, maybe the Dugu family leader doesn't understand what your Highness mean."

Yuwen Xin reminded Li Yuanji in time, which made Li Yuanji realize that it was not the time to turn against Dugu Qiang. The anger in his heart disappeared and slowly sat down. Dugu Qian still said nothing and looked at Li Yuanji coldly.

Li Yuanji calmed down for a moment before he said to Dugu Hun: "Just just now, my father asked me to raise money and grain, and my father said it very clearly. Now the war between the Tang and Zhou dynasties is imminent, and the situation is very critical. The supply of money and grain cannot drag the front army back, but the money and grain are tight. The father hopes that the Guanlong nobles can share the worries of the court and donate another million stones of grain and 500,000 stagnant of grain. I visited Dou Gong before, he clearly stated that the three major families of Dou, Dou Lu and Changsun donated 300,000 stagnant of grain and 100,000 stagnant of grain, and then there are 700,000 stagnant of grain and 400,000 stagnant of grain. I would like to ask Dugu Duke to convene all the families to discuss and see how much each family has allocated, and solve this matter as soon as possible. Of course, as a commendation for everyone's support for the Tang army, the father will award all the lords of the family masters and kings. I can also guarantee that Xuanwu Jingwei will never harasse the Guanlong nobles' industries in Chang'an."

Dugu Qian also sat down. He also realized that it was not the time to act voluntarily, and it was meaningless to mention the commercial return of Luoyang in the last time. But if they were asked to donate another million stones of grain, he would not want to accept it anymore, especially now that Bingzhou is in danger, the Hexi crisis, and the Bashu crisis, the Tang Dynasty could not support 300,000 troops on the Guanlong territory. Li Yuan would inevitably continue to exploit them more severely. If they surrender this time, at most one or two months later, Li Yuan would make them bleeding again. Who would be able to withstand such cruel exploitation?

Thinking of this, Dugu Tsuna slowly said: "We donated three times in a row last year, each time it was one million stones. Although it was not so much on each family's head, it could not withstand three consecutive levies. Basically, every household's granary was at its bottom. The harvest was very bad last autumn. Half of the Dugu's manors had no grains and were all counting on wheat this summer. But now it was levying in February. Even if we want to support the Tang army, we really can't get so much money and grain. Or your highness would forgive us for a few more months, and we will support the Tang army after the summer grain is collected. Is this OK?"

How could Li Yuanji believe his words? The Dou family can do it, but the richest man in the world cannot do it. Isn’t this a big joke?

But Li Yuanji was prepared for a long time, so he stood up and said, "Dugu Gong should think about this matter carefully! After considering it, I'll let me go first."

Li Yuanji got up and left quickly. Yuwen Xin hurriedly followed him, but Dugu Qian did not go out. His eyes fell on a small wooden box on the ground. This was Li Yuanji forgot here, but it was obviously intentional forgetting. What is it?

Dugu Tuan slowly walked forward, squatted down and opened the wooden box. There were four volumes of account books inside. The seal was clearly written, Dugu's record, but there was no seal on it. It was obviously just a copy, not the original.

Dugu Qian picked up a volume and slowly unfolded it. His eyes suddenly widened and his heart pounded violently. This was actually the account of the income and expenditure of Gaonu Oil Well in Yan'an County. Several of them were marked very clearly. On the fourth day of the third day of the Wude third year, the Northern Sui army received 10,000 barrels of Gaonu Oil; on the ninth day of the third day of the Wude fourth year, the Northern Sui army received 8,000 barrels of Gaonu Oil.

Dugu's heart seemed to fall into the abyss all at once

At night, a house in Chongrenfang was brightly lit. This house was a different house that Duguqin had covered about ten acres of land. There were carriages in front of the gate, and groups of servants were squatting under the wall, gathering together boredly.

In the lobby of the house, the heads of the thirteen noble families of Guanlong gathered together. This was the temporary discussion convened by Dugu Qian. This was their first gathering since the Wuchuan Conference was disbanded last year.

Dou Wei deserves to know the Dugu family thoroughly and told Li Yuanji the biggest weakness of the Dugu family. The Dugu family secretly supported the enemy's army and the four volumes of the account books finally made Dugu surrender, and had to summon all the heads of the family to discuss how to share the money and grain according to Li Yuanji's request.

As the last head of the family was in place and everyone was here, Dugu Qian waved his hand and said to everyone: "Please be quiet, everyone!"

The lobby gradually became quiet, and Dugu Qian said, "I summoned everyone today to discuss something with you. I will not hide it from everyone. The emperor once again distributed millions of stones of money and grain to the Guanlong nobles."

Before he could finish his words, the lobby immediately exploded, and everyone shouted angrily, "Why is it coming again? Even if we treat us as sheep that cut hair, we have to wait until our hair grows out. Now we don't have the money and food for him!"

Someone angrily scolded: "Where is the Luoyang business I promised last year? Even if the attack on Luoyang fails, at least we have to give an explanation. It will be left unresolved, and do you think your promise is fart?"

"Mr. Yu died in vain!"

Everyone was extremely angry, Dugu Shin-shi waved his hand and calmed everyone down, "Listen to me, please be quiet! Listen to me."

Everyone calmed down again, and Dugu Qian said, "I need to finish my words and then everyone will discuss what to do?"

Dugu Shin looked at everyone and saw that everyone was listening to him, so he continued: "Just like last time, there were still millions of stones of grain and 500,000 guan. The Dou family, Doulu family and Changsun family have pledged 300,000 guan and 100,000 guan. The remaining 700,000 guan and 400,000 guan will be shared by us today. In addition, I heard that the Lord promised to be the Duke of the Grand Duke, which is considered to be a commendation of everyone's support for the Tang army."

No one said anything. If it was the promise of the Duke of the People's Republic of China when the founding of the People's Republic of China, everyone would still be very moved. But now, the Great Zhou Empire's momentum is at its peak, and the army is winning step by step, and its strength is far better than that of the Tang Dynasty. At this time, the Duke of the People's Republic of China will not only not make people look forward to it, but it is a bit hot.

At this time, Hou Mo Chenduo asked, "Just just heard about the Dugu family's affairs. Didn't the emperor tell the Dugu family's head in person?"

"I told the head of the Dugu family!" A cold voice suddenly came from the door of the lobby.

When everyone turned around, they saw dozens of Xuanwu Jingwei surrounded King Li Yuanji of Chu and walked into the lobby. Everyone stood up and glared at Li Yuanji. No one in Chang'an did not hate Li Yuanji, and the heads of these Guanzhong nobles were no exception.

At this time, a butler ran in from the side door anxiously and whispered to Dugu Qian. Dugu Qian's face changed drastically and he shouted angrily: "Why does His Highness the King of Chu surround the house with his army?"

This sentence caused an uproar among the people. They were actually surrounded by the army. Yu Qinming asked sternly: "Does the King of Chu want to take the opportunity to kill us?"

Li Yuanji looked at everyone with his hands behind his back and smiled sinisterly: "Everyone misunderstood. This is my habit. He likes to take some men everywhere he goes. Don't worry, it's not the army, but the three thousand Xuanwu Jingwei, which is also to protect everyone's safety."

"Fart!" Someone cursed softly.

Li Yuanji's face suddenly darkened and he shouted, "Who said it? Who is it!"

No one said anything in the lobby. Li Yuanji glared at Zhao Shang fiercely. He had just heard that it was Zhao Shang's voice.

Dugu Qian said again: "We are discussing the issue of sharing money and food. Your Highness is afraid that we will not agree, so he sends an army to threaten us. If so, your Highness will make a wrong idea. We can support the Tang army, but we will never accept the threat of violence."

Li Yuanji sneered and said, "Where does the Dugu family support the Tang army? Is it clear that it supports Zhang Xuan? The 50,000 barrels of Gaonu turbulent burned countless Tang army soldiers to death, as if the Dugu family leader was not ashamed at all."

Dugu Chuan said nothing and glared at Li Yuanji. He had already decided to convince everyone to share the money and food this time, but at this time Li Yuanji's threat caused him to change his mind. He just quit whatever Li Yuan did.

Li Yuanji said calmly again: "I visited the head of the Dugu family this afternoon, hoping that he could summon everyone to support the Tang army's money and food. Later I remembered that I seemed to have forgotten one thing, so I came tonight to talk to you about another thing. Everyone was there and could make a decision on the spot."

"What else do you have, why not just say it!" Dugu Qian said coldly.
