Chapter 678: As for the family, I have the final say
The voice of crying for help reached Liu Xie's ears, and a touch of unbearability flashed on the face of the Son of Heaven, but he still gritted his teeth and pretended not to hear.
In the end, Hou Wen did not wait for the forgiveness of the Son of Heaven, but waited for the oracle to send him on his way.
The people cheered for His Majesty's Shengming, and Hou Wen, who was waiting for his death, was heartbroken. The Son of Heaven chose to abandon the car to protect the handsome, and he already knew that today was in danger.
He raised his head, his open eyes subconsciously narrowed, and the tiger head knife reflecting the sunlight was very dazzling.
With a pop, the head fell to the ground.
Subsequently, Hou Wen's head was lifted with a bamboo pole and hung on a high place to set an example.
After the public execution of Hou Wen, Lu Bu then told the refugees that he would let them survive this disaster year safely. When the refugees heard such good news, they all cried with joy, and the prestige of the imperial court also increased in an instant.
A few days later, representatives of the family from all over the country entered Chang'an one after another.
Lu Bu had people arrange a post house early to let them rest, and only after everyone had arrived did Lu Bu invite them into the mansion to discuss business.
The main entrance of the Grand Sima Mansion.
"Brother Wei Yan, why are you here? Long time no see, don't come unharmed! ”
"Isn't this Brother Changling, we haven't seen each other for some years. Looking at it today, my brother's demeanor has not diminished back then, and I really envy my little brother! ”
"Old, where is it better than back then." The man with pale sideburns sighed with emotion.
Between the major families of the Han Dynasty, unless they are enemies of life and death, it is not surprising that they will move around and know each other on weekdays.
Gradually, the number of people greeting at the door increased, and the steward guarding the gate saw this, stepped forward and reminded respectfully and in a whisper: "Ladies and gentlemen, Da Sima is still waiting for you in the hall." ”
The heads of the family nodded and walked towards the mansion.
After entering the house, many people were still whispering.
"You said that Da Sima urgently summoned me and others here, what is the matter?"
"Alas, it's unpredictable!"
"I don't know if you have seen it, this year's drought in various places is the most serious in Guanzhong, I have walked all the way, it is simply corpses all over the field, miserable!"
As they spoke, they walked into the lobby.
About half a cup of tea, these heads of the family or the representatives sent by them have all arrived, and there are more than 60 people.
"Yo, you're all here!"
A hearty laugh sounded from outside the hall, and everyone regarded it as Lu Bu, so they got up one after another and bowed: "I've seen Da Sima later!" ”
Don't look at these people are well-known figures everywhere, but in front of Lu Bu, they don't dare to be the slightest presumptuous.
Lu Bu walked to the main seat above the lobby, said to everyone, 'Everyone, please sit', and then said slowly: "I called you here today, because I want to discuss something with everyone, and I ask you to help Lu Mou." ”
"Da Sima is polite, if you have a place where you can get us, we should do our best to help." The Zhang family's family leader Rui, that is, Zhang Liao's second uncle, got up and said.
Lu Bu nodded and continued: "On the way here, you must have also seen that there was a great drought in Guanzhong, and hundreds of thousands of people were homeless. As a big Sima, Lu naturally can't ignore it, but the treasury is empty and can't save so many people, so I want to ask you to do your part. ”
The words are good, but none of you present are stupid, and you all understand it in your hearts. Emotional Lu Bu called them here because he wanted to slaughter them as fat sheep.
"Gongtai, tell me first, how much food do we need?"
"Okay lord, then I'll give you and the heads of the family a brief report first."
Chen Gong, who was standing beside Lu Bu, nodded, and then said to everyone in the hall: "According to preliminary calculations, there are nearly 700,000 refugees in the Sili area, which is more than sixty percent of the total number of people in the Sili area. According to the most conservative calculation, a person can barely survive with at least one stone of grain per month, and if you want all the victims to survive this disaster year, you need about 4 million stone of food. ”
Four million stones!
Hearing this number, everyone present was amazed, what a huge number.
None of the people in the hall spoke, for them, it was not only a hot potato, but also a life-saving talisman for people's lives.
Lu Bu glanced around, but still no one said anything, so he asked: "Tell me, how to solve the problem of four million stone grain?" The people have no food to survive, they are dying every day, and the imperial treasury does not have much food, what should I do? ”
Everyone looks at me, I look at you, and they are very silent.
"What, can't it be solved? Or do you want to watch the people starve to death? Lu Bu's tone suddenly increased by two points.
Everyone still didn't squeak, anyway, they just maintained an attitude: don't listen, don't listen, Wang Ba recites the scriptures.
"Is this a problem-solving attitude?"
Lu Bu slammed the table with his hand, his face was slightly annoyed, and he scolded: "Do you want to solve it, can't you solve it?"
Okay, I'll solve it today!
This grain was divided one by one, and everyone claimed it. ”
"Da Sima, if it is more than 100,000 stones of grain, maybe we can make it up for you, these four million stones are too ......" Finally, someone couldn't sit still and cried out on the spot.
Lu Bu didn't listen at all, and looked at a slightly chubby man in his thirties below, "Master Qian, tell me, how much do you have?" ”
The Qian family in Guanzhong is a major force that has risen rapidly in recent years.
When Qian Cheng saw Lu Bu coming to ask, he immediately said heroically: "Da Sima, you decide, you can say as much as you want." ”
The Qian family's rapid rise is inseparable from Lu Bu's support.
Therefore, whenever he had the opportunity, Qian Cheng would pat Lu Bu on the back to show his loyalty
Today, however, his fart seems to have slapped on the horse's hooves.
", I'll let you all out, are you out?" Lu Bu scolded angrily.
Qian Cheng pouted, not knowing how to take these words.
"If you were all out, it wouldn't be open today." Lu Bu hit the table with his index finger, looking particularly angry.
"Da Sima, I'm not complaining, you don't know the little land in my family, you really can't get so much food. Besides, if I go out completely, what do you want the heads of the family to do? ”
Qian Cheng said aggrievedly, he peeked at Lu Bu, and saw that Lu Bu's face was sinking like water, so he hurriedly added: "If you want to raise food, I will help you with all your wealth, but my family is a small family, no better than other wealthy families." Hedong, Luoyang, Hanzhong, they have the big heads, and the rest of the small heads, let's make up for them. ”
This dog is a real thief!
When the rest of the family owners heard this, they cursed in their hearts for the misfortune of the chicken thief and the fat man.
"God of Wealth, make a statement."
Lu Bu looked at Yang, who was at the top of the left, and asked for his opinion.
Because Yang Biao was sick, the Yang family sent Yang over.
Speaking of the Yang family, it is one of the best existences in Guanzhong and even in the Han Dynasty.
"Da Sima, I'll think about squeezing 300,000 stone grains first." Yang said seriously, 300,000 stone grains are no longer a decimal.
Lu Bu shook his head slightly, raised his index finger, and said, "One million stones." ”
"Da Sima, this ......"
Yang's face was embarrassed, and Lu Bu waved his hand outward, interrupting Yang's next words, and then turned his head and looked at the Hedong family headed by the Wei family: "How much can Hedong produce?" ”
"Hedong suffered the scourge of white wave thieves only two years ago, and he has not yet recovered his strength, and he really can't get extra food."
"800,000 stones." Lu Bu set the number for Hedong in an irrefutable tone.
Next, Hanoi received 600,000 stones, Hanzhong 500,000, Luoyang 500,000, and even the poorest Bingzhou also gave 200,000 stones of grain.
"Master Qian, I will solve the big head for you, and you will be responsible for the rest of the grain." Lu Bu shifted his gaze back to Qian Cheng.
"Da Sima ......"
Qian Cheng's fat face was full of melancholy, and Lu Bu left him a huge amount of 400,000.
If you really want to make it up, it is estimated that he is not far from bankruptcy.
"Don't complain to me, you can't complain if anyone complains. There are so many people who died in Guanzhong, you don't care if you don't ask, but you also take the opportunity to wantonly annex the people's land, forcing many families to die. If you had been kind before, there would not be such a grim situation today! ”
Lu Bu scolded sharply, these words contained the meaning of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, not only to Qian Cheng alone, but also to the rest of the people present.
"This grain is for everyone to raise for a month. If the food is not in place, don't blame me Lu Bu for being ruthless and not remembering the past. ”
Lu Bu's eyes were cold, and he glanced past everyone's faces.
The people who looked at each other all shivered unconsciously, and then looked at each other, all of them were suffering in their hearts and couldn't say it. 2k reading web
