V1.Chapter 254

Huaiyang.

Tang Yin led the crowd to Huaiyang, and Yu Tao, the head of the county, personally went out of the city to meet him. After meeting, Yu Tao ran forward and saluted Tang Yin repeatedly. His attitude was so humble that if the slave met the master.

Tang Yin is the head of the county, and Yu Tao is also the head of the county. Although their official positions are the same, they differ greatly in strength. The former holds as many as 500000 troops, while Yu Tao is now the commander of the light pole. Even his temporary team of more than 20000 people was forced to dissolve when the plain army hit Huaiyang.

In addition, Tang Yin's current status is also very special. He is said to be the head of the county, but in fact he controls three counties. Strictly speaking, he is now the head of the local separatist forces.

With Tao around, Tang Yin was invited into the county capital.

Whether a county head is honest or not is not difficult to see from his residence alone.

Yu Tao's county capital has as many as two or three hundred servants. With the salary of a county head, he can't afford so many people. In fact, he hasn't paid at all. These servants have a formal establishment. They belong to the officers and soldiers in the county. They receive the state's military pay every year and use Yu Tao's tools for private use. They take some officers and soldiers directly back to their homes as servants, work for him and guard the house, and they don't have to pay a penny by themselves. Looking at his official residence, it is square and square. It is located in the center of Huaiyang city. It covers an area of more than ten mu. If one mu is 60 square feet, the big house must be at least thousands of square feet. Inside, there are big houses with medium houses, medium houses with small houses, one floor after another. There are many courtyards. If no one leads, the first-time visitors will have to get lost in it. The interior decoration of such a huge official residence is not vague. High-rise pavilions can be seen everywhere. Both the overall layout and subtle decoration are painstakingly worked out by skilled craftsmen.

Following Yu Tao from the gate of the county capital into the main hall, Tang Yin's impression of Yu Tao has begun to be greatly reduced after watching such a short section of the road.

In the main hall of the mansion, a banquet has been arranged inside. Yu Tao gives Tang Yin to his seat. He himself sits at his hand and says with a smile: "the lower official has prepared a banquet to welcome Lord Tang. Don't be polite, sir Tang, just enjoy it!"

Tang Yin lowered his head and looked at the wine and vegetables on the table. Wine is good wine. Just put it in the pot, the strong smell of wine has floated out. Looking at the dishes, it can be called a delicacy with complete color, flavor and flavor. Tang Yin has never heard of or seen many of them.

How much does it cost? This is Tang Yin's first thought.

In the past, he didn't pay too much attention to money, but now it's different. It's not easy to support 500000 troops. Money is consumed every day. Shangguan Yuanji and Zhao Hui have been overwhelmed by the 500000 troops. The two counties are tightening their belts, while Yu Tao is good. He drinks good wine and eats good vegetables. He looks bright and fat, Qiu Zhen and Zongyuan are right. If they want to send troops to the south, they must first govern the rear, and Jinguang county is the top priority. Yu Tao, the head of the county, must also be replaced by someone they can trust.

At this time, Tang Yin has been more firm in his mind.

He was very tired of Yu Tao in his heart, but Tang Yin didn't show the slightest expression on his face. He smiled and said, "adult Yu is too polite. You and I are at the same level, so we don't need to match the officials below!"

"Hey?" Yu Tao waved his hand repeatedly and said with a smile: "Lord Tang is not only the head of a county, but also the Zhenbei general granted by the former king. The official rank is naturally above the lower official."

"Ha ha!" Tang Yin smiled and stopped talking about this meaningless nonsense. He seemed to ask casually, "Lord Yu, I don't know how much tax is there in Jinguang county every year? How much grain is there?"

"This..." Yu Tao didn't expect that Tang Yin would suddenly ask this. He frowned and thought for a long time. Fang said uncertainly: "the tax revenue is about 70000 or 800000 Liang. There are grain production... Grain production... There are probably millions of stones..."

Tang Yin couldn't help rolling his eyes. He was asking him, but he asked himself. Yu Tao, the head of the county, was really confused. However, if what he said is true, Jinguang county has an annual tax of 800000 Liang and a grain output of millions of stones. It can be called a big county, which can completely alleviate its current pressure.

He nodded and said, "OK, I see. Adult Yu, have dinner!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Lord Tang first!" Yu Tao sat on the mat and nodded and bowed.

Tang Yin picked up chopsticks and ate quickly. From Tang Yin's face, I can't tell whether he is happy or unhappy. Yu Tao has no bottom in his heart. He turns his head and winks at the housekeeper standing by the door. Knowing this, the housekeeper hurried out of the hall. After a short time, he turned back and brought in several young girls dressed up brightly and brightly.

Yu Tao had a thicker smile on his face, his fat cheeks piled up, and squeezed his two small eyes into two small cracks. He smiled and said to Tang Yin, "Lord Tang, these are the songs of the government!" As he spoke, he waved to the girls and said, "don't hurry to serve Lord Tang!"

"Yes!" The singers answered one after another, giggled and gathered around Tang Yin. It's rare to see a young, handsome and high-ranking official like Tang Yin. The song writers did their best to please Tang Yin. They surrounded Tang Yin, and someone served him wine and vegetables.

Tang Yin also accepted it safely, hugging left and right, and laughed twice from time to time. Seeing this, Yu Tao nodded secretly. After all, men are men. No man doesn't like wine, sex and money. Thinking of this, he winked at the housekeeper. The latter understood what he meant, took out a brocade box prepared earlier, respectfully handed it to Tang Yin, and whispered, "Lord Tang, this is a treasure that my master has treasured for many years. In particular, I want the villain to take it out and give it to Lord Tang!"

"Oh?" Tang Yin pushed away a song that the whole person snuggled up in his arms had to stick to him and asked, "what treasure is it?"

"Please have a look, my Lord!" The housekeeper opened the lid of the brocade box and took out a crystal clear jade horse from it. This jade horse is carved from a whole piece of jade. It is more than half a foot high. There is no trace of impurities in it. It is extremely rare. Looking at the workmanship, it is even more exquisite. It carves the horse's galloping look like a living. Even Tang Yin, who doesn't know jade, can judge that it is a priceless treasure after reading it.

This Yu Tao is really willing to sacrifice money to please himself! Tang Yin sneered in her heart and said to Tao, "Lord Yu, what are you doing? How dare I take these treasures?"

"Ah, ha ha --" Yu Tao laughed, "treasures match heroes! Lord Tang is young, brilliant and powerful. Of course, he deserves it. Lord Tang, don't put it off any longer!"

When Tang Yin heard the speech, he was no longer polite and said with a smile, "it's better to obey orders than respect. I'll accept it according to your wishes."

"Ha ha!" Watching Tang Yin put the jade horse back into the brocade box and put it beside him, Yu Tao is actually heartbroken. Since he is willing to pay his blood to please Tang Yin, of course, he has a purpose. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes, he leaned forward, approached Tang Yin and said, "Lord Tang, what's the purpose of calling the heads of the three counties to gather in Huaiyang this time?"

This is what Yu Tao is most concerned about. Since he received Tang Yin's letter, he has been worried about it for fear that Tang Yin would be bad for himself.

Tang Yin drank slowly and said, "it's already said in the official document that we should discuss the plan to attack Zhong Tian in the future!"

"That's all?" Yu Tao asked anxiously.

"Otherwise, what else do you think will happen?" Tang Yin asked back with a smile.

"No, no, no! I'm just concerned."

"Ha ha! In addition to discussing how to deal with Zhong Tian, I will also make some changes to the county head and county guard of each county." Tang Yin blinked and youyou said.

"Oh? I wonder what kind of exchange Lord Tang is going to make?" Yu Yin looked at Tang Tao nervously and didn't blink at once.

Tang Yin opened his mouth and seemed to have something to say, but finally swallowed it back. He patted Yu Tao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "don't worry, adult Yu, this transfer is only good for you, not bad, and won't let you down!"

Hoo! Hearing Tang Yin's personal promise, Yu Tao's heart finally fell back to the original position when he mentioned his voice. He helped his chest, then laughed happily, picked up his wine glass excitedly, and said, "in this case, I'm relieved! Lord Tang, I'll give you a toast!"

"You're welcome, my Lord!" Tang Yin also picked up the wine cup, collided with Yu Tao and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

After the banquet, Yu Tao also wanted to stay with Tang Yin in the county capital, but he was politely rejected by the latter and insisted on staying in an inn in Huaiyang city.

Yu Yingtong asks them to stay with Tang Yintong and asks them not to serve Tang Yintong. Tang Yin did not refuse this time. Although he was not interested in these songs, so many generals under his command were away from home and killed the enemy. Appropriate rewards should also be given. It is just that these songs can be enjoyed by his subordinates.

Leaving the county capital and on the way to the guild hall, Qiu Zhen quickly came to Tang Yin and asked with a smile, "Sir, how is Yu Tao?"

Tang Yin shrugged and didn't answer immediately.

Qiu Zhen looked back at the songwriters behind him, looked at the brocade box held by Tang Yin and said, "my Lord has received Yu Tao's treasure and the woman he sent. I'm afraid later..."

Before he finished speaking, Tang Yin said with a sneer, "I will eliminate this person after he says!" Seeing Qiu Zhen stunned, Tang Yin continued, "I can't tolerate moths like him within the scope of my control!"

When Qiu Zhen heard the speech, he restrained his smile, nodded and said, "Your Excellency is wise!"

Although Yu Tao is polite to Tang Yin, sending both treasures and song notes, Tang Yin has a murderous heart for him. Tang Yin was originally a strange person with a surname, and his way of thinking has always been difficult to figure out.
