"Hedong suffered from the scourge of Baibo bandits in the past two years, and it has not slowed down so far. There is really no extra food."
"80 shi." Lu Bu set the number for Hedong in a tone that could not be refuted.
Next, Hanoi was allocated 60 shi, Hanzhong 50, and Luoyang 50. Even the poorest Bingzhou also distributed 20 shi of grain.
"Patriarch Qian, I will take care of the bulk for you, and you will be responsible for the rest of the food." Lu Bu turned his gaze back to Qian Cheng.
"Big Sima..."
Qian Cheng's chubby face was full of melancholy. What Lu Bu left him was still a huge amount of 40.
If he really wants to get it together, he is probably not far from going bankrupt.
"Don't complain to me, you can't complain to anyone who complains. So many people died in Guanzhong, you don't care if you don't ask. Instead, you took the opportunity to annex people's land and forced many families to be ruined. If you were kind before, It wouldn’t be as severe as it is today!”
Lu Bu reprimanded sharply, these words contained the meaning of shaking mountains and shaking tigers, not only for Qian Cheng alone, but also for the rest of the people present.
"We have a one-month deadline to raise this amount of food. If the food is not in place, don't blame me, Lu Bu, for being cruel and not thinking about the old friendship."
Lu Bu's eyes were cold, and he glanced over the faces of everyone.
The people who looked at each other unconsciously shuddered, and then looked at each other, all of them were suffering and couldn't express it.
The sixty-seventh chapter kills the decisive, and the hero is also
At the end of the meeting, Lu Bu left everyone in the mansion for lunch before letting them go.
In the afternoon, all the patriarchs who walked out of Da Sima's mansion all had bitter faces and sighed again and again. No one could laugh when they were put on such an errand.
Everywhere is under Lu Bu's control. If you really want to piss off Lu Bu, you can uproot them in minutes.
What can they do?
They are also desperate!
Alas~~~
After a long sigh, the Patriarchs bid farewell to each other and went back to their respective houses to start raising food.
In the pavilion, Chen Gong, who was standing next to Lu Bu, watched the crowd leave with a worried tone: "My lord, in this way, you have offended all the aristocratic families."
You must know that the stability and development of a place depends on the role played by the aristocratic family.If they have rebellious thoughts, once they collude with outsiders, they will be able to hand over the city in an instant.
Lv Bu folded his arms and stared into the distance with deep eyes. How could he not know the consequences.
It's just that if this is not the case, hundreds of thousands of refugees will hardly have a way to survive.
Since the outbreak of moth thieves, the population of the Han Dynasty has been decreasing year after year, and enough people have died. If they can be saved, there will be no more than one in ten people in the world.
"I did give them a heavy burden this time, but as long as I can get through this year, I will benefit from them if I do my best. But if I promise with my mouth, but don't do anything, I won't let it go lightly. Hou Wen is their role model."
Lu Bu said lightly, without any fluctuation in emotion.
At the beginning, Hou Wen was executed in public for dereliction of duty, not to mention that the entire Hou clan was ransacked and counted. Lu Bu's ruthless methods made many people in Beijing gasp.
"If more than half of the families refuse to come out, is it possible that the lord will also erase them all?" Chen Gong is still worried that if he acts like this, it will definitely cause turmoil and crusade everywhere.
The cars outside the mansion went their separate ways and gradually dispersed, leaving only empty streets in the end.
"In the past few years, I have also seen through these so-called aristocratic families, whether they are well-known or made a fortune silently. When encountering anything, their first consideration is always their own interests. If they are unwilling to help me through this difficulty, I will kill one family first, then two families if one family fails, and three families if two families fail, until they are scared."
Lu Bu's eyes narrowed slightly, and murderous intent was lurking in his eyes.
In such a hot season, at this moment, Chen Gong actually felt a chill down his back.
He reminded in a low voice: "If you kill him without guilt, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."
Regarding this matter, Lu Bu obviously had a countermeasure long ago.
"Isn't banditry everywhere in Guanzhong? Then in the name of colluding with bandits, all the families who refused to send food were confiscated. Then all the food obtained from the confiscation was distributed to refugees. Tell me, can you convince the people? "
"Since I can't make them respect from the bottom of their hearts, I can only make them feel afraid from the bottom of their hearts. As long as I live for a day, they dare not disobey me!"
Lu Bu stood upright with his hips akimbo, his majestic body showing arrogance.
Looking at the tall figure next to him, Chen Gong felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.Compared to the humble and warm person when we first met, Chen Gong feels a little strange about Lu Bu now.
Without him, it's just because Lv Bu's actions recently have been too domineering and authoritarian.
I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
A look of worry flashed across Chen Gong's eyes.
"Oh, by the way, Gongtai, after Hou Wen was killed, the position of servant censor became vacant. I have already asked the imperial court to fill this position with you."
A smile appeared on Lu Bu's face. Apart from being responsible for picketing and impeaching officials, the most important thing about serving Yushi is that he can see the emperor from time to time. This is a good job.
"The position of the chief historian in the mansion..."
Chen Gong hesitated to speak. After all, the affairs in Da Sima's mansion were complicated, and all the big and small things from all over the country would be reported to the mansion. If it was an ordinary person, I was really afraid that they would not be able to handle it.
"Let Pang Ji act temporarily, and wait for a suitable candidate before taking office."
Chen Gong nodded, and he had no choice but to do so, he still recognized Pang Ji's ability.
After a while, Chen Gong also left the pavilion, leaving Lu Bu standing alone on the tall building, overlooking the great rivers and mountains in the distance.
"My lord, Tingwei Zuojian asks to see you."
Not long after, Chen Wei stepped forward to report.
Tingwei Zuojian, that is, Li Su who once served under Lu Bu.
After the assassination incident, Lu Bu threw all the captured assassins into the Imperial Prison of Tingwei Mansion, and told them to have a trial result.The interrogation in the imperial prison is harsh, and there are various methods of coercion, some of which are ways to make people speak.
Now that Li Su asked to see him, he probably already had the answer.
Lu Bu turned around, found a place to sit down, and said, "Let him come up."
Soon, Li Su followed Chen Wei up the pavilion, and when he saw Lu Bu respectfully shouted, "My lord."
Lu Bu slightly raised his head to look, but Li Su's appearance had changed a lot since he hadn't seen him for a long time.This former local official now has a beard and is wearing brocade, giving him the appearance of an official.
"Long time no see, brother Su, how is everything going in Tingwei Mansion?"
Lu Bu gestured to please sit down, then asked with a smile, and called him 'Brother Su', already giving him enough face.
The two of them were from the same hometown and had known each other since they were young, so Lu Bu also took good care of Li Su.
