The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

"That's right. As the saying goes, there are no rules. You guys usually make a lot of mischief. That's because no one can deal with you. After I come here, you have to do things in a new way for me. , otherwise don’t blame me for destroying all your families.”

Seeing that everyone closed their mouths, Li Xiang stood up and spoke. When Li Xiang said the word "I", the people present raised their heads in horror.

"May I ask if the prince is His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin?"

The elders in their family have told them not to mess around these days. Some big shots who cannot be offended have come from the capital, especially the emperor's son and grandson. If they mess with these two people, Not to mention your own lives, I am afraid that including the belongings of our whole family cannot be saved.

So when Li Xiang said these two words, these people's hearts skipped a beat. How could they be so lucky? After holding it back at home for so long, they finally went out for a walk and bumped into the prince. Wang Jia.

"My king Li Xiang."

This place is remote and poor, but the bureaucrats have also heard some things about Li Xiang, so when Li Xiang's name was mentioned, they were all frightened and didn't know what to say. After all, the border was The war here was caused by His Highness the Changsun.

"See Your Highness."

Just now, these guys were still dissatisfied. Now when they heard Li Xiang announcing his family status, they all knelt down quickly. In Wu Qing Mansion, they are considered the most prominent young men, but if compared with Li Xiang, they are bullshit. neither.

"Don't talk so much. I just want to know one thing right now. Why didn't you join the army to serve the country? Now that the Tuyuhun army is approaching, according to the decree promulgated by the court early, all men of school age must report to the military camp. How do you still have time to go? What about sightseeing?"

Li Xiang was too lazy to talk nonsense with these guys and went straight to the topic.

"this……"

If it were anything else, they could still excuse it, but if it were this, I really don’t know what to say. It’s not like this in their local area, it’s like this all over the country. Who among the dignitaries would let their family members go to the battlefield? Well, unless they are the generals in the capital, people go to the army to make a career, but these third-rate young men don't have that ability, so the army has become a place where they stay away.

"It's hard to answer, isn't it? It doesn't matter, but I'm a newbie here. I believe you can see that there should be 3,600 people, but now it's really hard to say that there are only a dozen or so people selected. You can’t let me take these dozen people to the battlefield, right?”

As soon as Li Xiang's words changed, these people's eyes were already in despair. They had also heard about some of Li Xiang's ways of doing things. If the investigation continued like this, their parents in the family might be affected. They were worried about what to do. To survive this crisis, who knew what Li Xiang said.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, leave this matter to us. We will gather these more than 3,000 people. We must not let His Highness lead these dozen people to the battlefield."

The leader said quickly, and the rest of the people also nodded. There were many private slaves in their families. As long as they picked out some strong ones and let Li Xiang lead these people to the battlefield, maybe they wouldn't have anything to do with them. Of course, I have to give Li Xiang a heavy gift.

Of course Li Xiang understands what these people are trying to do. Can we let you people be fooled? Your minions usually have deep grievances. On the battlefield, let alone fight for us, they will most likely give their lives to them in a daze. If you dare to give me away, you dare not take it.

"I don't think you should bother with this matter. I'd better recruit soldiers myself. However, each soldier needs at least sixty coins for armor and weapons. This money..."

Li Xiang deliberately prolonged his tone, hoping that these people would recognize the money, but these people did not accept Li Xiang's words.

They have no shortage of more than 3,000 people. After all, there are many slaves in the family. They can just choose some strong ones and send them over. But if they are asked to pay this amount, isn't it a bit too much? One person costs 60 guan, so for 3,600 people, this is more than 20,000 guan.

It is very difficult for some of the top wealthy families in the capital to come up with this money. It is also very difficult to come up with it. They are just some third-rate small landowners in the local area. Even if they sell their entire family, I am afraid they will not be able to get it together. If you don't have such a sum of money, if you have to use this method to get through the difficulties, what's the point of living?

"It seems that none of you want to cooperate with me. Didn't we have a good relationship just now? Why did you not say anything when I mentioned the money?"

Li Xiang said with a sneer. This voice made everyone present feel chills in their bodies.

"Your Highness, it's not that we are unwilling to pay, it's actually this money..."

The leading young master said with some difficulty that their family was considered the number one family in the local area. Their annual income was less than 900 yuan, which was already a lot. Compared with the people around them, there was still a gap between them and their family. , if they were allowed to take 20,000 yuan, then their entire family would be confiscated.

"I said to this young man, what you said is wrong. It's as if I'm blackmailing you. You must know that this money is not for me. You should be serving in the army, but you are traveling in the mountains. Playing with water, if this is reported to the police, not only will you go to jail, but your parents will also go. I am risking violating the laws of the Tang Dynasty and opening a back door for you. You must cherish this opportunity. OK."

Li Xiang patted the young man on the shoulder with a good-natured look on his face, but the people around him didn't believe you were really thinking about us anyway. The number you want is too much, even if the entire military Even if the Qing Mansion digs three feet of the ground, I'm afraid they won't be able to find 20,000 yuan.

"Your Highness, we really can't get it out..."

"Please have mercy on Your Highness..."

When everyone saw that Li Xiang was not joking, they all knelt down in front of Li Xiang, hoping that Li Xiang would show mercy to them.

The surrounding people, including Old Man Zhao, saw that they were motivated. Every time a new official came, they tried their best to make money from the people, but our prince was different. He tried his best to make money from the officials, but we ordinary people Sit back and enjoy the results.
