Of course Liu Bei understood what they were thinking, and he would still estimate it normally, but facing the increasingly powerful Da Gan, he was under increasing pressure. In order to enhance the strength of the Da Gan, he no longer worried about these things. After all, he was fighting against these Compared to a moth, Cao Cao is more important to the Han Dynasty!
He said solemnly: "In this situation, to protect the Han Dynasty is to protect their glory and wealth. Do they still think that Nanyang County can still settle down? Even if we don't take the initiative to attack Dagan, won't Dagan attack Nanyang County at all?" Maybe, Daqian's attack on Nanyang County was only two years earlier and two years later. Shiji, please help me contact the big families in Nanyang County, and I will tell them personally that they must take this bond even if they don't want it!"
Yuan Ji could only smile bitterly and said: "No!"
After the founding heroes of Nanyang County, they were basically all in Xiangyang City, so as soon as Liu Bei said he wanted to see them, these people gathered at Liu Bei's General's Mansion!
Liu Bei also invited Yuan Ji, Jian Yong, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others to accompany him.
After the host and guest were seated separately, Liu Bei said unceremoniously: "The Han Dynasty is now at a critical juncture. The army is eyeing Jingzhou. The Han Dynasty only has half of the country left. Since you are all the founding heroes, it can be said that the Han Dynasty belongs to you." We need your help now if we want to save the big man!
Deng Hong was surprised and said: "Did Daqian's soldiers and horses come again?"
The other families were also surprised. They had heard the name of Lei Gong for more than ten years, but they were not worried about Hebei where Lei Gong had just begun to wreak havoc. After Lei Gong attacked the Central Plains, they even cursed Lei Gong for his harsh treatment of the nobles, thinking that Lei Gong, who wants to offend the noble family in the world, will surely perish under the siege of all the princes of the Han Dynasty.
But when Lei Gong really reached the outside of Jingzhou, the noble families in Nanyang County were in panic. They were afraid that the devil Lei Gong would kill all their families and fled to Jingzhou. Now that they are neighbors with Lei Gong, it can be said that they live in fear every day. In the midst of uneasiness, I was afraid that Thunder God might strike across the Yangtze River!
Liu Bei said: "No, but it's coming soon. As long as Da Qian unifies the Central Plains, it will take less than three years. Lei Gong's troops will definitely be directed at Jingzhou. The Han and the traitors are not at odds with each other. We cannot avoid this battle."
But these people only heard that Thunder Lord had not attacked yet, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. They did not care about Liu Bei's next words at all, as long as the devil Thunder Lord did not come to kill him, that would be fine!
Kou Jun said with a sigh of relief: "I don't know what happened in the war, but I think we have a general in Jingzhou, and we will definitely not let bandits like Lei Gong invade Jingzhou!"
Feng Yuan pointed at Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun and said: "General Yide and General Zilong are both generals who can defeat ten thousand enemies. With them protecting Jingzhou, we will definitely have peace of mind!"
Then everyone gathered around Liu Bei and flattered them, as if Liu Bei and the others were guarding Jingzhou, they felt relieved!
Liu Bei continued: "Unexpectedly, the ideas of the clan leaders are the same as mine. I also believe that the best choice is to defend the enemy outside the country. In this way, Nanyang County will not encounter war. Your manors, shops and The mansion will not be exposed to war, but last year the imperial court encountered natural and man-made disasters, and the clan leaders are also aware of it, so I would like to ask the clan leaders to support Dahan One or Two."
Deng Hong knew that it would be impossible to leave the General's Mansion without some blood today. He saw that Liu Bei was trying to find a way to protect his manor and land and said: "If the court is in trouble, we are naturally responsible. I am willing to donate." One million dollars to help the court tide over the difficulties!"
Kou Jun: "I also donated 1 million yuan!"
"My family has been loyal for generations, so we will not fall behind in donations. My family donated 900,000 yuan!"
“My family donated 800,000 yuan!”
The patriarchs present did not spare any money and donated hundreds of thousands of dollars, which added up to tens of millions!
But this was far from satisfying Liu Bei's needs. He immediately said: "The imperial court cannot ask for your money in vain. Even the traitorous Lei Gong would not do such a thing. What I want is for each of you to subscribe for a certain amount of bonds to satisfy the imperial court's participation in the war." That’s enough for the military expenditure, and these bonds will not only be returned to you but also give you 10% interest after the government’s finances are sufficient!”
Kou Junchi asked: "I don't know how many bonds the general wants to issue!"
Bonds are no longer new. Thanks to Xu Wei, the businessmen of Daqian subscribed for 80 billion bonds, which has caused a sensation in the whole Han Dynasty. For the first time, people in the world know that the businessmen of Daqian are so rich, and they know even more about Daqian. We are rich, otherwise it would be impossible to borrow 80 billion from businessmen!
Liu Bei said seriously: "If you want to severely injure Thunder Lord, you must have 10 billion to arm the army!"
"10 billion!" This number shocked everyone. You must know that when the Han Dynasty's annual fiscal revenue was more than 3 billion, it was only about 3 billion. After the Jiangnan land experienced Liu Bei's many reforms, the fiscal revenue skyrocketed, but one year's fiscal revenue increased sharply. The income is only about 5-6 billion yuan. Liu Bei and the others took out twice the income of the Han Dynasty at one time, so it is no wonder that they were so surprised!
But at this time Zhang Fei shouted: "We are not here to defend your manor, land and shops. Logically speaking, this money is what you should give us. Even if you hire a guard, you still have to give us money. How can you ask for a guard?" The principle of giving money to protect people, now our big brother Renyi is borrowing your future and I will replace it with you when the big man's finances are rich. If you want me to do it, you not only have to spend 10 billion in military spending, but also another 10 billion The pension is not easy to beat. If my brother dies, you have to pay the pension!"
Kou Jun said with a bitter look on his face: "It's not that I and others don't want to give, it's just that they simply can't afford so much money!"
"Bah! After all of you are the founding heroes, you are not even willing to give 10 billion. The merchants of Daqian can borrow 80 billion from Lei Gong. The big man has made you rich for 200 years. I don't believe you can't even get 10 billion. Come out! The big man has fallen into the situation he is in today. You nobles and nobles are all responsible for it. If it weren’t for you, how could bandits like Zhang Jiao Lei Gong appear? In the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Jizhou and Nanyang County The Yellow Turban Army is the most powerful, not because you forced it out!"
Then Zhang Fei said fiercely: "Don't be shameless here. It's okay if you really don't give me money. I will let the army retreat to Xiangyang County, and then watch Lei Gong hang you one by one on the bank of the Yangtze River. Uproot your family. My eldest brother only wants money, but Lei Gong wants your lives! Let me see if you want money or your lives!"
Yuan Ji immediately said: "General Zhang, after these elders are all heroes of the Han Dynasty, how can they be inferior to the merchants of Daqian!"
Then Yuan Ji said to them: "You have also seen the fate of the Hebei clan, the Zhongyuan clan and the Sili clan. Without hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in Nanyang County, there is no way to resist the thunder gong. Nanyang County will definitely step into the turmoil of Hebei and the Central Plains. In the future, do you want to be tried by Thunder Lord? You must know that many of the Yellow Turban thieves who rebelled back then were at the top of Daqian. Do you think these Yellow Turban thieves will let you go?"
Deng Hong cried: "It's not that Lao Chen and others are ignorant, even if all the property of Lao Chen and others are confiscated, they still can't get out the 10 billion!"
Zhang Fei said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense here that can't deceive people. Last year, your family had hundreds of horse-drawn carriages. The ferry in Xiangyang was almost sunk by your family's money. I'm afraid your family alone is enough." Take out these tens of billions!"
Deng Hong immediately explained: "These are all rumors. The people in the carriage are all women, and the real money is not much!"
But Zhang Fei listened to his explanation! He walked directly to him, lifted him up with both hands, and pressed him hard!
"Ah, ah, ah! General, please spare your life!" Zhang Fei's hands were so powerful that Deng Hong himself was almost crushed to death by Zhang Fei!
The shouts of killing pigs resounded through the hall. Even Liu Bei and Yuan Ji were shocked by Zhang Fei's move. This was about to force him! If word got out, what was the difference between Liu Bei, the general, and Dong Zhuo?
At this time, the other family heads were frightened and wanted to flee here one by one, but Zhao Yun immediately blocked the door and refused to let them leave. If this matter was not handled properly, Liu Bei's reputation for more than ten years would be completely ruined, so here Shi Zhaoyun never dared to let anyone leave!
Deng Hong roared for a long time and found that Liu Bei had no intention of stopping Zhang Fei, but he was about to be squeezed to death by Zhang Fei, so he could only beg for mercy: "General, General, my donation is not enough!"
Zhang Fei continued to increase his intensity and said: "What kind of donation is for you to buy the bonds of the imperial court? Fair trade, do you understand?"
Deng Hong immediately nodded and said: "I understand, I bought 400 million in bonds from the imperial court. Please, let me go! If I keep pushing, I will die!"
After hearing this, Zhang Fei left Deng Hong behind, and then looked at the other family heads! He pulled Kou Jun out and squeezed him again, almost crushing Kou Jun's ribs. Finally, Kou Jun subscribed for 400 million bonds. Just let him go!
"The Beauty of the Sun and the Moon"
The other family heads were frightened by Zhang Fei's cruel methods, and one by one they said: "I and others are willing to break up the family for the sake of the country!"
Then they bought the bonds issued by Liu Bei for 400 million and 300 million. Finally, Liu Bei counted and found that there were as many as 12 billion.
Then Zhang Fei threw the bonds he had prepared to them and said: "You forced the people to exchange their sons for food, and the world was in turmoil. Now is the time for you to pay for your sins. You are so ignorant of praise. Do you think that my eldest brother and I are working hard to survive?" What is the purpose of fighting Thunder Lord! It’s for the big man, and it’s also for your glory and wealth. Today, I think it’s light. If you meet Thunder Lord, he will hang your whole family! Then you will know how big it is. The general is so benevolent and righteous!"
At this time, they did not dare to refute Zhang Fei's words, but begged for mercy one by one: "Yes, yes, the old man and others are wrong. They should not misunderstand the general's meaning. I will raise money for the general in a while!"
After saying that, they looked at Liu Bei one by one, and Liu Bei asked Zhao Yun to let them go!
After all these people left, Jian Yong complained: "Yide, you are too reckless. If you threaten the masters of the big houses today, they may not admit it tomorrow! Not to mention that these people are closely related to the palace. If they ask
Your Majesty complained, how should the general explain to His Majesty?"
Although Zhang Fei was very happy to do this, and he quickly made these family heads succumb, the consequences would be endless! And they may not admit this after they leave.
But Liu Bei smiled and said: "Yide did what Brother Wei wanted to do. Seeing the frightened scene they just had, Brother Wei was so happy. I really wish I had a sword in my hand and chopped them all off!"
Liu Bei is a grumpy person, otherwise he would not have whipped the governor back then. But in recent years, he had to restrain his temper in order to fight against Lei Gong!
Yuan Ji immediately said: "They can't be cut. Now we still need them to help resist Thunder God. We are no longer as good as Thunder God in winning the hearts of the people. If the nobles and nobles lose their hearts, the Han Dynasty will also perish!"
Zhao Yun said strangely: "Thunder Lord's sword has been pointed at everyone's throats, why are they still unwilling to support the big man against Thunder Lord? Don't they know that Xuande Lord did all this to protect their family business!
"
It would be fine if the wealthy nobles in other places were unwilling to support Liu Bei. After all, Thunder God had not yet arrived at their doorstep, but the wealthy nobles in Nanyang County did the same. They were as if they were blind and could not see what was already happening.
The Thunder Lord in the Chichi Land made Zhao Yun strange!
Liu Bei sneered and said: "How could they not know? It's just that they are used to the big men helping them to hold up when the sky falls. Fighting with Lei Gong is the court's business and has nothing to do with them. I'm afraid they still think that all this is because I, Liu Bei, is begging for it."
Hold them!"
Zhang Fei said: "These people are so ignorant. I just have to beat them as hard as I just did before they will obey. As for the future troubles, after the eldest brother drove away Yang Biao and Wang Yun, the powerful Han family
The nobles have recognized that my eldest brother is a rebellious minister like Dong Zhuo. If it weren't for the fact that Duke Lei's troops are approaching the city now, I'm afraid these people would have started planning how to assassinate my eldest brother!"
Then Zhang Fei said: "Lei Gong has the power of the entire Daqian, so that he can be invincible for more than ten years. If I want to defeat Lei Gong, I must take all the rights of the big man into my hands, so that there will be no such thing."
The idiots came to interfere with Big Brother’s dealings with Thunder Lord!”
Da Gan is much stronger than us. If we want to defeat Lei Gong, we must concentrate all our resources on the military, but this will force us to offend the powerful Han clan. Brother needs to be tougher now. At this time, who dares
If you don't obey Big Brother's orders, you should directly imitate Lei Gong and confiscate the houses of all those who are against the opposition. I have a profound background in the Han Dynasty noble family. If we confiscate them, we can at least get hundreds of billions of funds and get rid of their corruption of the court.
, our orders can be given directly to the people, so that we can defeat the Thunder Lord!"
What Zhang Fei said is not unusual, he just wanted Liu Bei to copy Dagan's policies in full! And this is what Liu Bei has been doing all along. The only thing he didn't dare to do was to imitate Lei Gong and hang the powerful nobles of the Han Dynasty.
