Chapter 90 Forced Grain Expropriation Order

Liu Bei? Uncle? Liu Bei can take out this identity to win the market. He can win the respect and persuasion of the people, but he may not be able to win the favor of local princes. From a certain level, this identity also makes him an enemy of all the princes. Of course, this includes Taishi Ci from the grassroots background, even if Tai Shici's birth has turned 800 bends and the Liu royal family. Liu Bei can treat the poor people with kindness and righteousness. On the one hand, it shows that he cares about the people and is kind-hearted. At the same time, it also shows that he is ambitious. It is not only as simple as supporting the Han Dynasty. In this way, he is even more tabooed by other princes. Liu Yu, the lieutenant of the same sect, respects him on the surface and guards him behind his back...< /P>

In order to transfer the respect for Liu Bei, Tai Shici did not directly slander Liu Bei, but sighed and said, "Oh, it's really different from others. At the beginning, Lieutenant Gao came to Pingyuan County to buy grain at a high price, but no one bought it. It was the life-saving food of hundreds of thousands of people... This Pingyuan County is said to be a text. The hometown of the saint Wu, the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, is now in the world. People's hearts are not old, and other places can be imagined..."

The two Qu Junhou were from the Yellow Turban Army. When they heard Taishi Ci's emotion, they naturally understood the meaning in Taishi Ci's words: Tai Shici was not happy that they mentioned Liu Bei, and they were even more unhappy that they respected Liu Bei. For example, the social atmosphere of Pingyuan County can only admit people like Liu Bei, which also shows how narrow and indifferent the powerful and people here are! Just care about yourself, not the sorrows of others.

The best way to completely abandon this narrowness and indifference is to change the blood: slaughter the city and move back to the new population... The two Qu Junhou don't understand why Taishici commanded the army to slaughter the plain county, isn't it a hundred in place in one step? In this way, the high lieutenant would not have left with humiliation and hatred at the beginning! The mentality affects the expression, and the two Qu Junhou's faces are full of indignation like Tai Shici.

Taishi Catisi felt that the two Qu Junhou had changed his mind and position, so he stopped talking and just hurried on his way. After a while, they came to the gate. The guarding of the gate is naturally the clan soldiers of the rich clan, and the leader naturally knows Tai Shici. Tai Shici ignored the salute and knelt down of the soldiers on the two sides of the gate, and rushed through the aisle of the gate with an arrogant look.

At a glance, Taishi Ci visually saw that there were only 200 soldiers guarding the gate and the wall, so he wondered: under normal circumstances, there should be at least 400 people. Now there are only one song of 200 ethnic soldiers. Aren't the dignitaries in the city afraid of death? Are all the bandits around the county dead? All frozen to death? Then God is too dark to help the powerful in disguise. Isn't such a God looking for scolding?

Ha ha, Donglai County, the base of Taishici, is extremely short of grain, while the dignitaries of Pingyuan County hoard a large amount of food. In contrast to the two, Taishici's psychology was a little distorted, and in the end, they all complained to God.

In the official road in the city, there are a few people, and the shops on both sides of the official road are all under the control of the iron general. Maybe it's because the weather is too cold, maybe it's because it's too early. Anyway, the whole city looks gloomy and lifeless. It's like a dead city.

Tai Shici and his party did not stop, and they came to the county guard's government. The door of the government door is locked with a red copper ring, and the surface of the cowhide drum on the left side of the door is covered with thick dust, and the chaotic spider webs cover the dark corner.

Tai Shici's eyes made the two Qu Junhou knock on the door of the copper ring. The two Qu Junhou nodded slightly to Tai Shici, got off the horse, strode to the door of the copper ring door, and raised his hand to pat the door ring vigorously. The sound of door rings hitting each other abruptly in the early morning air and spread far away.

"Who was hit by a thousand knives? It disturbed people's dreams in the early morning... Is it virtuous..." In a series of rapid footsteps, angry scolding came from behind the copper ring gate.

With a "squeak", the door of the copper ring slowly opened, and the two Qu Junhou dodged to both sides, and Tai Shici faced the door directly. When the government officials saw that it was Tai Shici's subordinates who were knocking on the door, and Tai Shici himself was in front of them, they knelt down to Tai Shici in fear.

Tai Shici ignored them and arrogantly walked straight into the government door from the gap between their bodies. Half of the 300 soldiers in the camp were left to guard the door of the government gate, and the other half followed Tai Shici. The neat pace of killing filled the whole county guard government.

Since Liu Bei left Pingyuan County, Qingzhou Pastor Liu Wei sent Taishici to station in Pingyuan County, and then Cao Cao generously promoted Taishi Ci's official position. During his stay in the army, Taishi Ci did not have a deep relationship with the officials of the county. He was only responsible for handing out the materials and wealth of Pingyuan County to Cao Cao and Liu Yu. As for the side of the lieutenant Liu Yu, it took the money to get the materials from Pingyuan County. Of course, Tai Shici also took the opportunity to enrich his own pockets and secretly transferred the wealth and materials of the county. Go to Donglai County.

As for the management of the county, Taishici gave it to the officials of the county. In the face of the complicated affairs of the county, there is also a way to deal with all kinds of activities in the county: before the new Taishou takes office, it is to be engaged in the military, prison, judicial, tax and other five-grade officials take turns to drive the power of the four-grade county and take responsibility at the same time.

Today, it happened that the Dianjun was engaged in Zhu Quan on duty. When Tai Shici entered the main hall of the county government office, Zhu Quan just tied his belt and ran over breathlessly. As soon as Tai Shici saw the pale face of Zhu Quan, he knew that he had worked overtime last night.

The official position of Dianjun is Zhengwupin, which is half a level higher than Taishici's five-grade generals. However, in troubled times, civil servants generally dare not neglect generals, especially generals with troops. Dian Jun was engaged in Zhu Quan's salute to Taishi Ci, so he consciously knelt down to the banquet on Taishici's left hand side.

Taishi Ci did not greet Zhu Quan politely, and he said bluntly to him: "Zhu is engaged, I would have Fengzhou pastoral Liu Yao and Cao Cao's instructions. If you come to the county today to collect grain and military supplies, please ask Zhu to draft a notice and inform the whole city!" Tai Shici also used the name of Liu Yu and Cao Cao to live a long time.

When Zhu Quan heard the words, his face looked embarrassed. He rubbed his cold hands and looked at Tai Shici dryly. Tai Shici's eyes darkened and he stared at Zhu Quan. Seeing this, Zhu Quan hurriedly said, "General Taishi, I have been an official for many years, and I have never experienced the collection of grain and fodder in winter... If the official posts a notice of grain collection, it will cause the resistance of large rich families!"

"Oh, Zhu engaged, this is not the reason!" Tai Shici's pupils narrowed and said angrily, "Zhu engaged, at this time, there was no yellow scarf army rebellion before! There were no domineering bandits before! In the peaceful and prosperous times, in order to recuperate, of course, the government will not collect grain in winter, but now officers and soldiers all over the state are stepping up their reserves of grain and fodder, waiting for the spring of next year to completely eliminate the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army and the bandits..."

Zhu Quan looked at the slightly angry Taishi Ci and said, "General Taishi, in such a situation, the winter grain collection can indeed be carried out, but Liu Yu, the previous lieutenant of the dynasty, has confiscated 400,000 catties of grain from the county..."

"Well, I would have heard this news on the way to the county..." Taishi Ci interrupted Zhu Quan's words and said indifferently, "It is said that as soon as the people sent by Lieutenant Liu Yu arrived in the county, a large rich family took the initiative to hand over food and other supplies. In less than two days, Liu Yu's people confiscated up to 40. Ten thousand catties of grain and grass! ... Zhu engaged, according to the situation that the county should still have 20 million catties of grain reserves at this time. In addition to the consumption during the winter, it is more than enough for the county to take out millions of catties of grain. If the rich families no longer use grain to make wine, they should be able to save millions of catties of grain..."

Tai Shici's grasp of the situation is very accurate. His calculation method hurts Zhu Quan's bones. Zhu Quan couldn't help grinning. He thought to himself: Can Liu Yao and Cao Cao compare with the lieutenant Liu Yu? Liu Yu is a member of Wang Gongyi, and Liu Yao and Cao Cao are just three grades...

He also wanted to prevaricate Tai Shici with other excuses. Tai Shici deliberately released the super fierce body protective air mask. When Zhu Quan saw that Tai Shici was shrouded by a rippled blue air, he immediately took a cold breath and swallowed what he wanted to say back from his throat. Zhu Quan was stimulated by sudden movements and kept coughing. At this time, the two Sima behind Tai Shici still stared at him with fierce eyes.

Zhu Quan no longer had any knowledge and wanted to speak for the rich clan in the county. He also knew that Tai Shici's martial arts cultivation had entered the innate realm. The super fierce general of the innate realm can indeed be compared with the weight of Lieutenant Liu Yu. Even if the two are not comparable, in case Tai Shici is annoyed, Tai Shici can kill him by raising his hand... At the moment when his life is at stake, Zhu Quan chose to follow Tai Shici's order. Officials can't be wrong, but life still needs to be saved.

Zhu Quan coughed and his face turned red. Regardless of the cold, he quickly spread the paper and took the pen and wrote down the government notice of requisitioning grain. In a frightened situation, Zhu Quan played normally and wrote the same number of announcements at half the usual speed. Then, regardless of the sore hands and pain in his arms, he ordered the government officials to post hundreds of notices all over the city, and at the same time ordered other government officials to beat drums to publicize the order to collect grain in the streets and alleys.

Tai Shici nodded to Zhu Quan with satisfaction, and then he led his soldiers to the armory of the county. Tai Shici responded randomly. He returned to Pingyuan County again with the intention of looting all the supplies in the county. He can't slaughter the city. In the end, he will also design Pingyuan County as a tiger without claws and teeth, so that it can have a false appearance. It is just a city suitable for life. In this way, it is also worthy of Kong and Mencius, and completely achieve their wishes and ideals: Pingyuan County has become the hometown of "benevolent love" and a place of moral model...

On this part of the way, the two Qu Junhou saw the cultivation of Tai Shici's innate realm, and even took the initiative to tell Tai Shici all kinds of information about the county in detail, including which husband's father-in-law and daughter-in-law, which women stole men... Of course, in the mess, Tai Shici still learned a Fact: There are only 2,000 soldiers of the 7,000 people who used to defend the city, and the rest of the soldiers have been recruited by Lieutenant Liu Yu...

The recruitment of ethnic soldiers from Qingzhou Pingyuan County and the untimely collection of grain, all kinds of signs indicate that Liu Yu wants to make a big move in the future.

Tai Shici assigned his subordinates to pull out hundreds of heavy vehicles from the armory, and also recruited the military supplies such as rolling wood, paraffin oil, fire cans and other military materials in the civilian general's armory to be transported to the camp on the outskirts of the city. In this way, in less than three days, tens of thousands of migrant workers carried away more than a dozen armories in the city.
