The monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty had already discussed the development issues after the inclusion of various countries in the Chang'an Palace, but the Goguryeo people who were still unaware of it were caught in a lot of discussion because of a notice from the court.

"Have you heard it? The Tang Dynasty came a few times and stole the princess into the palace and robbed the girl."

"Hey, man, you won't really believe this set of lies, do you?

This is obviously because the court is crazy about recruiting soldiers, and is using such unsatisfactory lies to deceive us. After all, no one wants to join the army.

I didn't believe this if I beat you to death. Besides, what's the matter with the princess in the palace? I might as well think about how to make money by making some mountain goods."

Two passers-by were fighting in the street.

All around were passers-by watching, and soon a group of people participated in the discussion of this matter.

"A cousin from afar is working in the palace. I heard that I saw it with my own eyes, and this is indeed true." One person shouted excitedly.

"It's not bad, the official article will not lie. It's our Goguryeo Princess."

"Bah, what is Princess Ruyi? I haven't heard of it before. Besides, there are a large group of princesses in the king, one is missing, what does it matter?

I want me to join the army, but I don’t even have the door. My three children are still pointing at me to support me. I don’t want to die on the battlefield.” The man before, insisted with a blushing face.

"Yes, right, that's right. The government will only exploit us when collecting food. Now it's embarrassing and still wants us to die? There is no door, so we will never join the army. Can we fight the Tang Dynasty? A few years ago, General Wende of Yizhi was wiped out and none of them survived. My brother was captured and died by the arrested man." Someone echoed.

Another person stood up and said, "You don't know yet. Not only did I have relatives in the army a few years ago.

I heard that a few months ago, the imperial court and several other countries organized an army of 500,000 to attack the Tang Dynasty and were killed. All the people on our side were killed and injured. They could not win at all. Maybe they robbed the princess to take revenge."

"Oh, no wonder they said that the grain tax will rise this year, and they are still levied on a large scale near the royal city. It turned out that it was a war, but why didn't we know anything? Why did the court hide it from us?" Many people suddenly realized.

There was a smarter mockery and said, "Let you know? Is it useless to let you know? Can you decide not to fight? You go back to join the army to help? If the superiors don't arrest you, you will be a gift, and you still want to participate in national affairs."

"Why has nothing to do with us? They went to provoke great enemies silently. Now they are coming to take revenge. Wouldn't they have to fight again? If they can't beat them, they will definitely have to pay and work. I don't have any surplus grains at home to pay them." The man argued.

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but think deeply. This was the case, so a new round of arguments began again. At this time, no one seemed to care about the princess and the princess.

I originally wanted a document to arouse hatred by the people of the country towards the Tang Dynasty, but the effect seemed unexpected. It can be seen from the anger of Lu Yuan and Gaisuwen at this time.

"Damn it, a group of useless untouchables. The Central Plains Kingdom has been destroyed for decades. Goguryeo's heart has never died. Wars of all sizes have caused countless people. We are our mortal enemies. Which family has not killed or injured their relatives because of them? Why have they all become turtles at this time? Have you forgotten the deep hatred of the sea of ​​blood?"

An eunuch behind him curled his lips and thought that he deserved it. It was true that the Tang Dynasty was fighting and killing people, but how did Goguryeo's army come from? It seems that it was not caused by the Tang Dynasty. It was you who forcibly arrested the strong men. It was all you forced the people to die, so the people did not keep the accounts on the Tang Dynasty. If it weren't for the court's disaster to the people, could I fall into the deep palace and become an eunuch?

Obviously, this man was born in poverty and had to go to the palace to serve the powerful in order to survive, but even so, he did not forget his origins.

"There is no need to be so angry at Lu. Although the large-scale conscription is not effective, there are still 30,000 to 50,000 people who are determined to serve the country and join the army. Soldiers are more important than elites. Besides, the last general thinks that in the face of the thunder of the Tang Dynasty, the number of people is not the key, and even a group of timid people may lower our morale. So, it's better not to do so."

An experienced general stood up and persuaded him.

Yuan Gaisuwen Yu was still angry and pondered for a moment, and snorted: "What you said is not unreasonable.

However, this group of unruly people do not care about the emperor's kindness and do not want to serve the country, and this crime must be punished.

The autumn harvest is coming soon, and this year's grain tax will increase by 20%.

In addition, for the thunder of the Tang Dynasty, Humph, the secret weapons obtained from the Western Turks should be used, and people should be sent to increase the production of cement. Since they want to conquer the city, then before the autumn harvest, all our cities will be replaced with iron walls.

There is no need to care about labor costs. People are willing to pay if they don’t want to fight. If they don’t have enough manpower, they will be levied. A group of untouchables will not survive. It will be meaningless to protect them again."

this……

When the general heard this, he felt awe-inspiring. This order seemed a bit brutal. If the 20% grain tax was imposed, I am afraid that the people would be in vain. What if internal riots were caused then?

But looking at Da Ge Lu's crazy look, he didn't dare to persuade him too much. It was not because of the general Yizhi Wude, and basically no one in the court dared to contradict Da Ge Lu.

"That damn Du Ruhui, since our people don't know what they do not believe in this matter and pass it on to the Tang Dynasty, they don't believe that the people of the Tang Dynasty can tolerate a person who plunders women and children as prime minister."

"Get orders!" Compared with state affairs, a rumor is insignificant. The general responded immediately. He also knew that Datong Lu's legitimate brother was brutally killed, but he could not commit suicide and take revenge in person, so he could only release the rumors.

But even this one seems to have returned in vain. They can’t control their own public opinion in Goguryeo. How can they talk about the Tang Dynasty?

Half of the public opinion in the Tang Dynasty was in the court and half among the people, among which Bai Fan was the leader of the people. After all, although the Beggars' Sect was adapted, they were redesigned to hide the public. As long as Bai Fan gave the order, millions of gangs would be submerged in a rumor, not like playing?

In addition, Gao Ruyi, the Princess of Goguryeo in Chang'an City, came out to refute the rumors, and married the newly-pinned Marquis of Pyongyang as his wife in Chang'an City under the witness of the people. How could he look like he was captured?

As for how Du Gou explained his title, and the trivial matters such as the future Tang Dynasty won Goguryeo, it was the private affairs of the young couple. With Li Yuanba, the image of killing people with a disagreement, it was no problem for Du Gou to fool a little girl who had just fallen in love.

It seemed as if it was the tranquility before the storm. Although the two were facing each other on the border, they just watched each other. In less than a few months, the autumn harvest began. It was a peaceful autumn harvest without even a trace of friction. It seemed that both countries were busy harvesting the fruits of autumn.
