Zhang Song suggested Liu Bei like this, and he definitely didn't have any good intentions.

The families and wealthy families in Yizhou are ostensibly subservient to Liu Bei, but in fact they are a hundred disobedient to Liu Bei. As long as Liu Bei doesn't move them, they don't bother to worry about Liu Bei, after all, the days will go on, and whoever is the state pastor is the same.

Zhang Song wanted to put Liu Bei's difficulties on all the bright sides, so that others would not be afraid of Liu Bei.

Of course, Zhang Song would not be stupid enough to post it publicly when he made a donation. Doing so would arouse suspicion among others. First of all, Xu Shu knew about it after he came back, so Zhang Song couldn't explain it, which caused Liu Bei's vigilance. The other thing is that Liu Bei is very scheming, and the kind of donation that is ugly is to borrow money, or it is not necessary to pay it back, so naturally it cannot be said publicly.

Even if Zhang Song had a calculating Liu Bei, he would do things properly.

Zhang Song used his name as a driver in Yizhou to send famous cards to the families and wealthy families in Chengdu City, and asked them to come over for the banquet.

As for whether to come or not, that's the matter of the invitee.

The person who received the invitation will definitely come, unlike Liu Bei, Zhang Song is the boss of the snake in Yizhou, and it is even more difficult to offend.

Zhang Song also brought Liu Bei's henchmen, just thinking of letting them know that Zhang Song was doing things for Liu Bei.

Seeing that Sun Qian and other Liu Bei's subordinates were there, the people who were invited knew that there was no good banquet today.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Song, as the host, began to enter the theme, and said: "Everyone, it is rare for everyone to appreciate their faces today, and this official has a lot of face!" ”

"Don't dare! It's an honor for me to receive an invitation from Master Farewell. ”

"Exactly! Don't drive adults to be busy every day, it's rare to invite me to wait today, I am really lucky. ”

At that moment, a few people who usually flattered Zhang Song came out to speak.

Zhang Song smiled insufficiently, and then glanced at Liu Bei's henchman.

Sun Qian understood that Zhang Song wanted them, Liu Bei's henchmen, to make a start.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Zhang Beijia invited you to come here today because in this eventful season, the government has paid a great price to suppress the rebellion. The front-line soldiers are now short of food and clothing, you are all good people in Yizhou, why not contribute to the peace of Yizhou? Sun Qian worked hard to show his image as glorious and great.

It was quiet, and everyone was silent.

Damn, it's really a good feast, it turns out that these people who want to be there are bleeding hemorrhage.

That's what the people who are invited to think in their hearts.

As soon as Sun Qian saw this posture, his face was not very good-looking.

Zhang Song said with a smile: "You must be thinking hard about how much you should contribute to Yizhou. Everyone is rooted in Yizhou, rest assured, how great your filial piety is, the state pastor is happy, don't think about it, just do your best. ”

Zhang Song said this appropriately, that is, to express to the people present that he didn't want it, it was all forced out by Liu Bei, and he must not be blamed Zhang Song for selling them.

Sun Qian felt that it was very wrong for Zhang Song to say this, but he couldn't think of anything wrong.

The people who were invited could see that Zhang Song was also forced, and they would not complain about him. Because Zhang Song also said in his words, they are all rooted in Yizhou. Now Liu Bei has the final say, with a knife in his hand, one is not good, it is not good for Liu Bei to send someone to drink tea with them.

People are under the roof, and some things really have to be softened.

For the sake of Zhang Song's face, how much is to be taken.

Soon, some people began to take a stand, they had to come up with 5,000 yuan, the highest 10,000 yuan, and the less 1,000 yuan. The total amount is more than 100,000 dollars.

In the past, Sun Qian and other Liu Bei's henchmen would feel that the hundreds of thousands of dollars were a lot. But after seeing the wealth of Yizhou, Sun Qian and other henchmen were furious.

Back then, some families spent a lot of money to buy officials during the reign of Emperor Ling, and some of them were born in Yizhou.

Obviously, any one of these families can come up with tens of thousands of dollars, but now all of them add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is to send food. How much help can hundreds of thousands of dollars bring to Liu Bei?

Once this kind of thinking happens, it cannot be reversed.

The people who were invited by Zhang Song didn't realize that there was anything wrong with what they were doing. Don't even think about getting the money back after you send it out. Just send it a little and show what you mean. They also know that after Liu Bei has such a time today, there will be more times in the future, they don't want to take out so much, Liu Bei wants them to donate something in the future, will they take it or not? If you don't take it, it will offend Liu Bei to death. I took it last time, why didn't I take it out this time! Take out some more, if it is less than this time, it will also offend Liu Bei. Only higher and higher, where there is a lower and lower reason.

Obviously, these families, big families, and wealthy businessmen are all clear.

They all know that Liu Bei is a person who will not be easily satisfied, so let's take some out first.

Zhang Song was surprised that these invited people came up with so much. In his heart, he thought that even if these people were not very willing, they would each take out 10,000 yuan, but only a few took out 10,000 yuan, and the rest were in thousands. There are even those who come up with a thousand dollars.

Zhang Song could think that Liu Bei would be furious when he saw such a number.

But after thinking about it, these people are not dealing with Liu Bei now, aren't they just talking to Zhang Song?

As soon as Zhang Song thought of this, his heart was relieved, and he kept a smile on his face, and said, "Everyone's hearts, this official is grateful for Lord Zhoumu. ”

Sun Qian and the others snorted coldly secretly, the heart of the fist, the fist and the fist all hit Liu Bei's heart.

"Your Excellency is right, in fact, we also hope to do more, but you also know it, my lord. Due to some special reasons, it is also very difficult for us to wait now. ”

"Yes! My lord, I really want to help the state pastor, but I have more than enough heart but not enough power. ”

Well, there must be a lot of excuses, and Zhang Song can also see it.

Sun Qian and other Liu Bei's henchmen wanted to arrest them and ask them, but their hearts hurt when they said these words.

These people present will definitely give Sun Qian a positive reply, it doesn't hurt!

The feast could no longer be eaten, and the invitees also wanted to leave as soon as possible, so they all found reasons to leave. Of course, some of them have an excuse to go back and get the money.

After these people left, Liu Bei's henchmen could no longer sit still.

"It's just a bunch of bastards." Sun Qian scolded directly.

Fei Guan even said: "Master Zhang, these people are so wolf-hearted, you don't care?" ”

This fee view is very interesting. He was originally Liu Zhang's son-in-law, and he was deeply trusted and respected by Liu Zhang, and Liu Zhang would hand over many important things to him to do. Including secretly going to the Public Security Port to invite Liu Bei into Yizhou.

But who knew that he was such a person, but in the end, he failed Liu Zhang, threw himself into Liu Bei's arms, and became a more obedient dog leg by Liu Bei's side.

The people of Yizhou were deeply suspicious of Fei Guan's character.

But some people say that Fei Guan is using Huairou's strategy, sacrificing his reputation and saving Liu Zhang's life.

Zhang Song didn't have a good impression of Fei Guan, after all, Zhang Song also betrayed Liu Zhang and took refuge in the more promising Shenwu court. Assuming that Fei Guan has an opportunity like Zhang Song, it is estimated that he will also throw himself into the imperial court. But Fei Guan's words gave him an opinion. Pipes? Fei Guan, what do you want Zhang Song to do?

"Master Fei, if you have a good plan, you can recommend yourself to the lord Mao Sui. If it can be done, the position of this official can also be virtuous. Zhang Song's face was not very good.

For Zhang Song's position in Yizhou, Fei Guan has been thinking about it for a long time. This is second only to the position of the state pastor, and Fei Guan, as an ambitious, capable and promising talent, certainly hopes that he can climb up a little more. If this is not the case, why would Fei Guan abandon his father-in-law and take refuge in Liu Bei, not for himself.

Everyone present instantly knew that Zhang Song was unhappy.

Sun Qian hurriedly said, "Lord Zhang, that's not what Lord Fei meant. He was just angry at what those people were doing, it was all a misunderstanding. Lord Fei, hurry up and accompany Master Zhang. ”

Fei Guan also realized that what he said just now had offended Zhang Song, and now was not the time to have a conflict with Zhang Song, so he apologized and said: "Lord Zhang, I don't have anything to hide from my mouth, and please have a lot of them, don't keep them in mind." ”

"Yes! Lord Fei is an unintentional mistake, Lord Zhang, you can forgive him. Others are also persuading.

Zhang Song didn't have any feelings about Fei Guan, anyway, there was an opportunity to retaliate in the future, so he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and said: "Everyone is the master of affairs, and this official will not misunderstand Lord Fei." ”

No matter what Zhang Song was thinking, but now the atmosphere has finally eased up.

After having the results, Zhang Song, Sun Qian and others went back to report to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was expecting Zhang Song to make a little more money, but the final result made him angry.

"Hundreds of thousands?! That's all?! Liu Bei almost gritted his teeth and said this, a number that greatly surprised him.

A state pastor pays donations to the families, big families, and wealthy businessmen under his rule, but he only has a few hundred thousand dollars to send beggars. Liu Bei can guarantee that the entire family and wealthy people in Chengdu will spend more than 100,000 yuan a day.

Sun Qian and the others lowered their heads, not daring to raise their heads and look at Liu Bei.

Zhang Song replied: "Lord, it's better to have than nothing." These hundreds of thousands of dollars are not enough. Let's think of something else. ”

Liu Bei felt that too, no result was as important as his plan. The current situation does not have much time for Liu Bei to waste.

"Do you have a plan?" Liu Bei asked.

If there was a plan, Sun Qian and the others would not have lowered their heads.

At this time, Fei Guan stood up and said: "Lord, those bastards are so wolf-hearted, there must be people who violate the law and discipline among them, so let's start from this point and raid them." When the time comes, won't the vacancy in the treasury be filled? ”

This method is very useful, Liu Yu did it when he was short of money in the past.

Liu Bei also had some intentions. Now these people don't care much about him Liu Bei, and Liu Bei doesn't have to be polite to them. Even if there is no crime, Liu Bei can just fabricate a few? There's no faster way to get money than to raid your home. Liu Bei also remembered that Liu Yu seemed to like to do the same.

But Liu Bei also forgot one thing, Liu Yu did this, it was because he had huge strength, he could calm everyone steadily, and he didn't worry about any trouble.

Fa Zheng sat on the side, and when he heard Fei Guan's suggestion, he subconsciously said: "Lord, this method is feasible!" This matter will be handled in the future. ”

Well, Fa Zheng saw this opportunity to take revenge and wanted to seize it firmly. Once Fa Zheng is in charge of this matter, Fa Zheng will definitely make a big fuss.

Fortunately, there were still calm people around Liu Bei, and Sun Qian hurriedly stopped: "Lord, don't." If this method is used, then the families of Chengdu will have lingering palpitations for the lord, and it will be greatly unfavorable to the lord's hegemony. ”

Liu Bei's heart tightened, if the big families here in Chengdu were disappointed in him Liu Bei, then how could he stabilize the situation in Yizhou in the future, let alone fight against the Shenwu Imperial Court and the hegemony in the future.

Fa Zheng saw that Sun Qian was stopping him, so he asked rhetorically: "According to Lord Sun's meaning, even if those big families violate the law and discipline, the lord can't deal with them?" ”

Words of heart, if Sun Gan does not answer well, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat in the future.

Sun Qian was not stupid, and corrected: "Master Fa, you misunderstood. As for those who break the law and discipline, we will punish them severely, just like the lord. It's just that now the situation is special, and I have to do it cheaply. When the overall situation is decided in the future, it is not too late to slowly clean them up. ”

Liu Bei sat on it and pondered, now in front of him is not enough money.

"I'll put this thing aside for now. Is there any other way? Liu Bei asked.

Zhang Song, Fa Zheng, Sun Qian and others did not speak again.

In fact, Zhang Song has a way, that is, to increase taxes. But if he said it, needless to say, Liu Bei would definitely accept it, and it would be written that it was Zhang Song who invited him, and Zhang Song's reputation would be over.

Zhang Song didn't dare to joke about his reputation.

Liu Bei suddenly thought of Liao Li. Liao Li's character is a little worse, but there are many ghost ideas, presumably in front of Liao Li, he will have a lot of ways.

It's just that Liao Li wore a guilty body and was ordered by Liu Bei to think about it behind closed doors.

"Let's all disperse, think again." Liu Bei waved his men away.

Everyone bowed, and then walked out of the hall respectfully.

Zhang Song and Fa Zheng walked side by side, the two glanced at each other, and let out a tacit smile together.

Liu Bei thought alone for a long time, and finally seemed to have made a decision, and said to his own soldiers: "Go and bring Liao Gongyuan to the Governor of Benzhou!" ”

It seems that Liu Bei still wants to hear if Liao Li will have any way.
