Chapter 87 If you don't want to pay, then we'll let him bleed
Looking at these unplucked iron roosters, the sneer at the corner of Pang Gang's mouth disappeared briefly, and he secretly said to himself: "Pang Gang, Pang Gang, don't you still know the virtues of these merchants since ancient times? How can they take care of the refugees?
Life and death, they enjoy the favor of the court and the people, own a large amount of fertile land without paying taxes, and can spend a lot of money for a beautiful toy. But when the people need them, they are not willing to spend even one more copper to help those in need.
How has the situation of its people changed in the past five thousand years? Thousands of years of history have told us that the only way to deal with such people is to use bloody thunderbolts to make them afraid. Since they don’t treat me as a little kid,
The little Qianhu takes it seriously, so let me show them what it means to have a big fist and grasp the truth!"
Pang Gang looked around the crowd with cold eyes and said coldly: "Now I have been ordered by the magistrate and the commander to gather the refugees, but there is no food, so I have to borrow food from everyone. My request.
It's very simple. Each household must contribute one thousand dan of food so that I can resettle all these refugees."
"What? A thousand stones of grain?"
As soon as Pang Gang finished speaking, everyone on the second floor of Zuixianju jumped up. A gentleman over fifty years old was so excited that he even ignored basic etiquette. He pointed at Pang Gang's nose and shouted: "Pang Qian
Household, do you know how much food a thousand shi is? That’s 16,000 jins of food. You asked us to donate so much food as soon as you opened your mouth. Why don’t you grab it!”
"Just ask me to donate a thousand stones of food to those mud-legged people. How is that possible?"
"Isn't this Mr. Qianhu crazy about money? Haha... He really thinks of himself as the governor!"
The merchants around him who originally wanted to take some silver or dozens of stones of food to send Pang Gang away were shocked by Pang Gang's lion's big mouth. After hearing this, they either sneered, disdained, or were angry. In short,
All kinds of negative emotions show up on their faces.
Facing all the astonished glances and whispers around him, Pang Gang ignored it as if he hadn't seen it. He just said to himself: "Due to the emergency of the disaster, I hope that you can watch it in front of the prefect's Yamen at noon the day after tomorrow."
Please send us the food, otherwise it will be bad if a civil uprising is triggered."
Pang Gang said this calmly, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
The answer to him was naturally a burst of disdain and a secret sneer. The merchants who originally planned to donate more than ten or twenty stones of food before coming here also changed their minds and wanted to teach this arrogant Qianhu a lesson. Qingzhou Mansion was not his
Lingshanwei, the water here is deep.
The gentleman who pointed at Pang Gang's nose and scolded him took the lead. He stood up first and said: "Master Pang, I am too drunk, so I will leave first." After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left on the spot.
It was originally a pretentious greeting, but now that someone has taken the lead, these people don't even bother to show off their pretense. Some people bowed their hands to Pang Gang and walked down the stairs. Pang Gang didn't stop him and just stood there.
He watched them leave coldly in the hall. After a while, more than 20 merchants and gentry left completely, leaving only Pang Gang and five or six tables of rich dishes that had not yet touched a chopstick.
"Ding-deng-deng..."
A burst of fast footsteps sounded on the wooden stairs. Hua Yan walked up quickly. He took his place behind Pang Gang and stood with his head bowed.
Pang Gang asked without looking back: "Have they all left?"
"Speak to my lord, they are all gone!"
"It seems that my official position is still too young and my reputation is not big enough." Pang Gang's tone was much calmer than when he usually spoke.
But Hua Yan, who had been following Pang Gang for some time, realized that there was a volcano about to erupt hidden in his heart. When the magma erupted, many people would be burned to ashes in his anger.
Looking back at the official who had changed color behind him, Pang Gang smiled gently: "Hua Dian, I'm already hungry after a busy day. Go down and call all the brothers in. We're on the first floor."
There are also dozens of tables in the hall. Brothers have been busy all day and have worked hard. Let them all come over tonight to have a toothpaste ceremony. It just so happens that I am treating you today. I invite those profiteers and I also invite brothers. Why don’t we just treat them tonight?
Have a good drink, we will be busy starting from tomorrow."
Hua Yan did not dare to neglect, and hurried downstairs to call in Qi Wuming, Bin Shiqian, Da Zhuang, Wang Zhi and other officers and soldiers who were standing in the cold wind. More than 600 people rushed into Zuixianju together.
This huge restaurant was packed to the brim.
The second floor was naturally where the officers gathered. Soldiers were quite straightforward in nature. When they knew that those merchants dared to embarrass thousands of their own families, they all became very excited, especially Da Zhuang and others who kept shouting that they were going to raid.
Enter the homes of those profiteers who don't give face.
Only Bin Shiqian and Qi Wuming remained silent with worried expressions on their faces. They were different from the poor military households like Dazhuang, who were born from grassroots backgrounds. Although they were only a hundred households in the sixth rank, at least they were not interested in the merchants in Qingzhou City.
We still understand the energy of the gentry. Anyone who can be called a wealthy gentry has a huge network of relationships behind them. Anyone who touches this network of relationships rashly will suffer such consequences.
A crazy counterattack of power. This energy was so huge that even the local parents wanted to give them three points.
Pang Gang saw the expressions of Bin Shiqian and the two men, but he did not intend to explain anything. Although the relationship between these two people was good with him before he became Qianhu Hou, they also had a good relationship with him after he became Qianhu Hou.
The first group of people to approach him. But they were not like Da Zhuang. Wang Zhi was the type of person who followed him wholeheartedly. The reason why he brought the two of them here this time was because of his capable junior officers.
It's because there are really too few.
Therefore, Pang Gang is not surprised by the reaction of these two people, and tomorrow's action is the highlight. If the performance of these two people cannot satisfy him, although Pang Gang has a good impression of them, he can only adjust them
I went to work as a sinecure in some insignificant place.
As Pang Gang's staff member, Hua Yan also saw everyone's reactions one by one and secretly wrote them down. Hua Yan knew very well that Pang Gang's time as Qianhu was still short at this time, and Lingshan Weili
Those original hundreds of households have not yet returned to him. My responsibility is to carefully observe for Pang Gang which of these people are usable and which are not, so that I can report to the adults of Qianhu in the future.
Hua Yan deeply understood in his heart that everything he had was given by Pang Gang. If Pang Gang was a big tree, he would be the vine branch attached to the tree. If the big tree fell, everything he had would disappear.
, Therefore, whether it is for public or private reasons, I must follow Pang Gang closely, and no matter what Pang Gang wants to do, I must follow him without hesitation.
Pang Gang didn't pay attention to this. He picked up the bowl and ate and drank. After he was full, he put down his chopsticks and said: "Everyone will go back to rest immediately after eating and drinking. Tomorrow and early morning, all the brothers will follow
I'm going to do something big. Since some people say that I asked them to donate food instead of grabbing it, then let's really grab it and show them..."
Pang Gang's words, which contained a strong smell of blood, slowly floated into the air through the window next to him.
Brothers, I made a strong recommendation today, but the results are still not very good. Brothers, please help me give a recommendation. When reading, please log in and click on the chapter! Thank you very much!
