Chapter 635 A treasury

"Bang!"

Dong Zhuo's nostrils burst into a strong air. The generals and counselors in the hall looked at each other inexplicably, secretly wondering if Dong Hu had caused something to happen again, but they were also numb. If the boy who ran to Liangzhou did not cause anything to cause something to happen, it would be strange.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Dong Zhuo was angry for no reason. He turned to look at Diao Chan, and felt dissatisfied and complained.

"snort!"

"We think... it's good to give 20% of the transportation capital from Luoyang to Chang'an... Beauty, what do you think? Those bastards actually transport grain from Gaoling County!"

Dong Zhuo didn't expect Da Ya to do this. He was angry and helpless. Who told him not to think about it in advance?

It was because Da Ya was too treacherous and did not show any meaning of "right-hand exchange" at the beginning. Instead, he asked Dong Huang and Niu Fudian to check the grain transported into Taicang in Luoyang. He was repeatedly dissatisfied with the low freight, as if he wanted to transport grain from Luoyang.

He deliberately created a posture of transporting grain from Luoyang. Dong Zhuo also instinctively believed that he gave a "20%" freight, but he didn't know that Daya just allocated the stored grain from Guanzhong to Chang'an, and this almost didn't consume much freight. If he knew that this was the case, Dong Zhuo wouldn't throw out 300,000 stones of grain in vain!

Everyone smiled bitterly, but couldn't say much. Although it was exchanged with left and right hands, a considerable part of the stored grain in Gaoling County was transported from Hedong County, so some food was naturally consumed on the way.

The transportation of grain from Luoyang to Chang'an is definitely a loss for a freight of 300,000 shi. Transporting grain from Hedong County can only be considered as a sufficient amount. What can a group of civil and military officials say more about this matter?

Diao Chan didn't know how to think about it, and responded with it regardless of whether it was light or heavy, and was a little curious about what was happening in the letter...

"Huwa is already in Liangzhou, and nothing big seems to have happened in Liangzhou. Master... How can the master be angry?"

Dong Zhuo glared and picked up the musical watch and slapped it.

"It's nothing in Liangzhou. Huwa also ran to the plateau. Even if Huaxiong beats the Xianbei people hard, it's nothing. But... But the fool went to Liangzhou. How could he know that Cao Cao's thief digging graves and stealing treasures again?"

Dong Zhuo took the note and slapped the small table. Hua Xiong and the three brothers Fu Luohan fought. For such a big thing, they didn't tell the court as soon as possible, and they didn't send it to the Grand Tutor's Mansion as soon as possible, but sent the battle report to Liangzhou. Hua Xiong's actions made Dong Zhuo unhappy, and he was angry but helpless.

Listening to Dong Zhuo's words, all the civil and military officials in the hall were confused. When Dong Min saw that no one spoke, hesitated...

"Brother said... what Huwa reported was Cao Cao who dug the grave and got the treasure privately?"

Dong Zhuo threw the clone heavily on the small table, but he didn't know whether to be angry or helpless.

"Huwa said that the imperial court had no money and food to support soldiers, so we could only grab the wealthy families and get money and food. Naturally, the counties and countries could not have sufficient taxes to raise tens of thousands of soldiers. At first, the states and counties were angry that we became the Grand Tutor. When the big families were angry, they would give Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's slutty money and food, but how easy it is to support 200,000 to 300,000 soldiers and horses?"

"Twenty-three hundred thousand soldiers... It takes tens of millions of stones to consume food in just one year. The taxes of each county and state are insufficient. They rely solely on the support of each wealthy family. They can't support it for long. Over time, the wealthy families will inevitably be dissatisfied with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's bastards. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao can only kill the wealthy families like us and grab the money, land, and population that can support the soldiers."

Dong Zhuo smiled bitterly and said, "Huwa said... we robbed openly, and those guys would only rob secretly. Although the methods were different, they were actually not different. He said that Cao Cao was not a provincial governor or a county prefect. Apart from secretly letting someone dig the grave to get treasures, he could not have a way to make money. Moreover, Da Ya did learn that Cao Cao had digged the grave to steal treasures."

Everyone frowned. They knew this kind of thing, but what did Cao Cao's digging of graves have to do with them? Seeing that all the civil and military officials under him showed an expression, Dong Zhuo was a little angry.

"Huwa said that it would be fine if Cao Cao stole other people's graves and buried property, but he could not let him steal the graves of King Xiao of Liang, Liu Wu. That... it was a tomb that could support tens of thousands of soldiers for three years, and a tomb that was richer than the one-year tax of the Han Dynasty..."

"What--"

Everyone was shocked, and Dong Huang went forward without thinking.

"Uncle, you must not let Cao Cao dig that grave!"

The generals were in a hurry and stepped forward together.

"Lord, don't let Cao Cao steal this matter!"

Dong Zhuo smiled bitterly in his heart. He had dug so many graves but failed to support tens of thousands of troops, but he did not dare to easily doubt Dong Hu's words.

It is difficult for people in later generations to believe that a grave could support tens of thousands of troops for three years, but Dong Hu believed it, but why did Dong Zhuo also poach other people's graves? Why couldn't it reach this level? It is mainly because there is a considerable gap between the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty, and it is much worse in terms of economy, politics, military, diplomacy, and people's livelihood.

The emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty was a poor man since Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu. After his death, he was unlikely to bury a large amount of money and property. Liu Xiu even merged with the Grand Person and the Grand Commander of Shuiheng, and repeatedly reduced the cost of the palace. Even if he had three or two dates in his hand, he would definitely leave it to his children and grandchildren to support the world. Later, the emperor's bloodline was broken, and the emperor was selected from other vassal states, and he died even if he had no adulthood. How much money could he have to bury him?

King Xiao of Liang, Liu Wu, was the same mother and brother of Emperor Jing of Han. The seven-nation rebellion caused by Emperor Liu Qi's attempt to reduce the vassals. Liu Wu was the biggest contributor to quell the rebellion, more than the regular army of the court killed enemies. In this process, Liu Wu definitely won the most. It goes without saying that he had a lot of money in his hand. In addition, Liu Qi's repeated rewards, the fief was extremely wealthy, and it was nothing to have a burial object comparable to the national treasury.

Having a huge amount of money does not mean that you must be buried with so much money. The key is that Liu Wu himself is unfair. He almost replaced Emperor Wu of Han and almost became the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

The emperor failed to do it. After Liu Wu left Chang'an and returned to the fiefdom, he became more and more unwilling to accept it. He built his tomb into an imperial tomb, leaving everything in the tomb, and hoping to achieve the dream of an emperor in the underworld.

It can be said that even the imperial tomb of Emperor Liu Qi is definitely not as good as his younger brother Liu Wu. After all, Liu Qi is the emperor, and he needs to consider his children and grandchildren and the world. It is impossible to use the entire treasury to be buried with him for his own selfishness. Liu Qi is not such an emperor, but Liu Wu is different. His children and grandchildren are all princes and do not need to be responsible to the world.

The emperor did not do it and was unwilling to accept it. Didn’t he just build his tomb into an imperial tomb?

"Three Kingdoms" says that when Cao Cao digs the grave of King Xiao of Liang, it was after Dong Zhuo's death. When Cao Cao led his troops to welcome Liu Xie, some people may think that Chang'an was a little far away from Liang. It was unlikely that Cao Cao dug it, but this was nothing at all. Digging graves is not a matter of glorious ancestors. You can completely separate a group of troops and run to Liang to secretly dig it. Moreover, when he ran to Luoyang to welcome the emperor Liu Xie, he could hide his eyes and ears. Even if others questioned it, he could use this excuse to bite to death and refuse to admit it.

During the Three Kingdoms, the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou first caused trouble to Qingzhou. He wanted to cross Jizhou and merge with the Heishan Army hidden in the Taihang Mountains, but was repelled by Gongsun Zan. Then he had to attack Yanzhou. Hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban Army were robbed everywhere in Yanzhou like refugees. At the same time, a locust plague occurred in Yanzhou. The entire Yanzhou had reached the point where people were slaughtered. After the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou surrendered to Cao Cao, he had so much talk at once. How could Cao Cao have money and food to support him? Wouldn't he have the idea of ​​a richest grave in the Han Dynasty?

Dong Hu knew these things and knew that Cao Cao would not be able to secretly dig the tomb of King Xiao of Liang at this time. If it were not forcing him, Cao Cao would not have dug up such a tomb that was not conducive to him, but Dong Hu was bad enough!

Regardless of whether Cao Cao had this idea or not, he put eye drops on him first, but it also made Dong Zhuo's stomach bulge. It was a tomb that was comparable to the national treasury. Dong Zhuo was more willing to dig by himself, and he didn't need to send troops to dig now. He just needed to wait quietly. When Cao Cao went to dig, he had an excuse to send troops. From Yingchuan County, he entered the neighboring Liang Kingdom, and after digging his own grave, he could still blame Cao Cao. Wouldn't that be better?

But now! Dong Hu was clamoring all over the world, Yan Zhong, the governor of Liangzhou, and the prefects of various counties signed and submitted memorials. Once the court wanted to punish Cao Cao... Can Cao Cao be cured? Will Cao Cao still dig the tomb of King Xiao of Liang, Liu Wu? If he didn't dig, what excuses would Dong Zhuo have to dig?

"snort!"

"Tiger Wa is so angry! If such a big thing happened, I won't discuss it with us in advance!"

Dong Zhuo snorted coldly, and another memorial was beaten.

"Li Ru, tell me, what should I do now?"

When Dong Zhuo just said that Cao Cao was going to dig the grave of King Xiao of Liang, Li Ru realized the opportunity to take the opportunity to send troops to Liang State, but now Liangzhou has submitted a memorial, and it is very difficult to take the opportunity to seize the tomb that is as rich as a country...

"Cao Cao wanted to steal the tomb of King Xiao of Liang. The court should immediately order Pei State to arrest such evil thieves! He should also send the Qingzheng minister to serve as the prime minister of Liang, and send a brave general to defend the Liang State!"

As soon as Li Ru's words fell, Fan Chou and Guo Si hadn't thought about it, they even walked out together.

"We are willing to go to Liang State!"

As the two of them jumped out first, a large number of generals stepped forward together, all of whom were thinking about running to Liang Guo to get rich, and Dong Zhuo was speechless...

"snort!"

Dong Zhuo snorted coldly.

"The thief Cao Cao actually dared to steal the tomb of King Xiao of Liang. We will definitely not spare that kid!"

"Li Ru."

Dong Zhuo pointed at Li Ru with one hand.

"Immediately go to Situ's Mansion and explain carefully the story of Cao Cao stealing other people's graves, and then we will send the general to protect the safety of Liang Guo!"

Li Ru dared not hesitate and hurriedly clasped his fists.

"promise!"

After Dong Zhuo retreated Li Ru, his narrow eyes glanced among the generals, but he did not find Dong Yue...

"Why didn't Dong Yue come today?"

The generals were shocked and frowned again. Dong Min smiled bitterly and stepped forward.

"Dong Yue asked us for a vacation a few days ago, saying...it was the time to cultivate, and he was taking people to cultivate beans and millet."

Dong Zhuo frowned and looked at the generals quite dissatisfied.

"Beidi Camp can cultivate and support yourself, why can't you?"

"snort!"

"From today, you all have to farm for me! If you dare to fight in the city, I will strip your armor now!"
