    ?

    After the Xue Rengui army led by Du Qi captured Jiangdu City, they did not pursue Li Shimin for the time being.  For Du Qi, perhaps chasing Li Shimin could weaken Li Shimin's strength again, but in fact, it would be as difficult as heaven to really destroy Li Shimin.

    After all, there is still a certain amount of troops by Li Shimin's side, and it is very difficult to destroy Li Shimin, so we simply set about stabilizing the current situation and laying a solid foundation so that the situation does not collapse.

    After the army took Jiangdu City, Du Qi entered the imperial city and wandered around in the imperial city, while Xue Rengui's army took control of Jiangdu City.

    Shangguanyi issued a notice.

    Began to appease the people.

    Half a day passed by in a hurry.  After Du Qi wandered around in the imperial city, he never lived in the imperial city, but went to the military camp in the city and stayed in the military camp in the city.  On the one hand, the imperial city is actually not that big. After all, Li Shimin had run Jiangdu for a short period of time, and his background was insufficient;

    Furthermore, for safety reasons, it is most appropriate to stay in the barracks.

    In the evening, when Du Qigang had dinner and was inspecting the camp in the army, Xue Rengui came.

    Xue Rengui excitedly said: "Your Majesty, Jiangdu has now been captured. Therefore, at this moment, I think that according to Your Majesty's arrangement, we can start to seize Jiangnan Road and the counties near the river."

    Du Qidao: "You can make arrangements. Tomorrow morning, you will leave 10,000 elite guards to guard Jiangdu. For the rest of the army, you can arrange separately and divide your troops to capture various places. The main purpose of attacking various places is to recruit surrender. If the other party does not surrender, then attack again."  .¡±

    Xue Rengui said: "I understand."

    Du Qi waved his hand, and Xue Rengui turned and left to arrange.

    Du Qi made a round of inspections, then went back to the tent to rest.  He tidied up, and when he started to read, Shangguanyi hurried in and saluted Du Qi: "Your Majesty!"

    Du Qidao: "What's the matter?"

    Shangguanyi said: "There are many businessmen outside the camp, and they have come to see you together, saying that they want to see you."

    Du Qi heard it and said: "What did they say?"

    Shangguan Yi said: "It is said that it is for business, but judging from the slightly panicked looks of most of them, it seems that they are here to plead guilty. These businessmen are all people who do business in Li Tang."

    Du Qilue thought for a while, then ordered: "Let them in."

    "yes!"

    Shangguanyi turned around and went down to inform.

    Not long after, businessmen entered together one by one. Du Qi glanced roughly, and there were twelve of them.  Everyone is dressed in silk and satin, and they are all big businessmen.  After all, compared to the merchants in the north, there are many big merchants in Yangzhou, and even these merchants are richer than the merchants in the north.

    The emergence of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal has connected the north and the south. Now that the north and the south are smooth, many businessmen have made a fortune here.  Although the north is the political center, the development of the south gradually tends to become an economic center.

    Not long after, Shangguanyi brought a group of merchants in.

    A group of businessmen stood still and saluted together.

    Du Qi said kindly, "Everyone, please sit down."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    All the people thanked Du Qi together, but without exception, no businessman sat down.  On the contrary, it was the leader of the businessman, with a solemn face, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have committed a crime, please punish me."

    "Your Majesty is guilty, please punish me."

    "Please punish me, Your Majesty."

    All the businessmen knelt down and pleaded guilty to Du Qi.

    There was a smile in Du Qi's eyes, and he said with a smile: "You all came to see us together, but you all knelt down to plead guilty. What do you mean?"

    The leading businessman is named Gong Ziquan.

    He was nearly forty years old, slightly obese, and solemnly said: "Your Majesty, when Li Shimin was in Jiangdu, we were forced to sponsor Li Shimin's money, some with more than a hundred thousand guan, and some with less than tens of thousands of guan"  Money. Although we were forced to do so, we still gave Li Shimin money, please forgive me."

    "Please Your Majesty, come down!"

    One by one, the staff kept talking.

    These people have actually contributed money to support Li Shimin. Now that Du Qi is in charge of Jiangdu, they all come to find Du Qi because they are worried about being liquidated and targeted.  live.

    Du Qi is the lord of a country. Even if Du Qi doesn't make a move, if Du Qi wants to deal with them, he doesn't need to do it himself at all. He only needs a look, and someone even helps Du Qi start.  for self-preservation, they came directly to plead guilty, hoping to get Du Qi's forgiveness.

    After Du Qi heard it, he didn't speak immediately.

    It was precisely Du Qi's silence that made all the businessmen look bitter and even more anxious.  There was a look of helplessness on everyone's faces.

    what to do?

    What should they do?

    Gong Ziquan took a deep breath and said again: "Your Majesty, I don't know how to march and fight, and I don't know how to govern the country. There is only so much I can do to help His Majesty. Even so, I am willing to do my best to donate money and food  To help His Majesty. I am waiting for a Yangzhou businessman from Jiangnan Road, and I am willing to donate 300,000 shi of grain and one million guan of money to help Your Majesty."

    After Du Qi heard it, he was a little speechless.

    300,000 shi of grain.

    One million coins.

    This is not a small amount, it is a huge amount. After all, the people who donate money and food are only businessmen in Jiangnan Road.  A mere merchant from Jiangnan Road gave 300,000 shi of grain and 1 million guan in cash, which is enough to shock people.

    Du Qi smiled slightly and said: "Gong Ziquan, I appreciate your kindness. I am not short of food or money in Xia Kingdom. What's more, when you were in Li Tang, you contributed money and effort for Li Tang.  Under Li Tang's rule, I don't care about it. Now that I have arrived in Jiangdu, you will work for Xia Guo and do business in Xia Guo, and I will not target you."

    After a pause, Du Qi said again: "So you don't have to donate your money. I won't blame you just because you once funded Li Shimin's money and food."

    Gong Ziquan thought quickly after hearing the meeting.

    He didn't take Du Qi's words seriously, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I donate money and food in the hope of doing a little bit for the country of Xia. Your Majesty is benevolent and generous, and it is our blessing not to punish us or punish us.  It¡¯s us who met the Holy King¡¯s arrival. That¡¯s exactly what happened, and I will do my best to ask Your Majesty to accept our kindness.¡±

    Du Qi laughed even more when he heard it.

    interesting!

    Gong Ziquan is really interesting!

    The original intention of Gong Ziquan and the businessmen is to give money and food to save their lives. The purpose is to save money and eliminate disasters, hoping to avoid their own disasters and not to be liquidated.  Right now Du Qi doesn't pursue it, but he knows that he can't do nothing, so he simply changed his rhetoric and became a supporter of Du Qi.

    They sponsored Xia Guo's money. After the news spread, the idlers did not dare to target them at will because they helped Du Qi.  Even for ordinary officials, it is not easy to target them.

    Du Qi no longer refused, nodded and said: "Forget it, since it is everyone's wish, I will accept it."

    Gong Ziquan said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

    After a pause, Gong Ziquan said: "Your Majesty, all the money and food have been delivered outside the camp. Please check and check the situation to confirm the situation."

    Du Qi said: "No need, I trust you. You guys, as long as you abide by the laws and regulations and operate legally within the territory of Xia Kingdom, I welcome you. Our Xia Kingdom was originally founded on the basis of business. Today, the Xia Kingdom's  Rise is also inseparable from business. Therefore, as long as you operate legally, no one will dare to target you."

    "Okay, let's all get up."

    Du Qi gave another order.

    Gong Ziquan said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

    ?The rest of the people thanked one after another, and then stood up together, and gave money and food one by one.  If Du Qi didn't accept anything, they would be worried, they would be worried about being liquidated. After all, every businessman in Jiangdu had a big family and a big business. Once they were liquidated, their families would be destroyed.

    Now that they have lost money and eliminated disasters, with Du Qi's approval, they can continue to do business in Xia Guo.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
