Chapter 1054: Come when you want and leave when you want. Why are you the King of Han?
On the fourth day after Sun Ce's death, Yu You arrived in Yueyang. As soon as he saw Wang Xuan, he bowed respectfully.
"Okay, get up, why are you so polite?" Wang Xuan was more polite to Yu You than Yu Ze.
After all, he has an army of 50,000 behind him now, and Wang Xuan's goal is to take over Jiangdong for his own use, so he has to be polite about this.
After patiently exchanging a few pleasantries, Wang Xuan asked directly: "Are you planning to bring people to surrender this time?"
"No, no!" Yu You quickly denied that he had no such right.
Wang Xuan's face suddenly darkened, the air in the room became solemn, and his voice was filled with oppression: "Then I'm here to declare war!"
"No, no!" Yu You's face turned pale, he quickly stood up and waved his hands repeatedly.
"Fight but not fight, surrender but not surrender, but why!"
"Retreat, retreat, this attack on Tianwei is all due to Sun Ce's coercion, and it is really not what our four families want." Yu You took a deep breath and continued: "Now that Sun Ce has been executed, we naturally dare not continue to do this.
This is a very treasonous and unethical thing, so I came here to apologize."
"Naturally, we cannot continue to be stationed under the rule of King Han. As for the follow-up, the heads of each family still need to decide."
Wang Xuan stared at Yu You with a frown and said nothing. Yu You suddenly felt a little unsure, and the cold sweat on his body soaked his back.
Why was he so obsessed that he sent it to his door? This Wang Xuan was moody, cruel, and easy to kill. Who knows if he would let her go for the sake of the Yu family.
No wonder those guys looked at me wrong when I left. Damn it, they were so complacent.
Just when Yu You's intestines turned green with regret, Wang Xuan suddenly spoke, "Come when you want, leave when you want, why are you the king of Han?"
"Whore!"
Poof, Yu You knelt down on the spot.
What did he hear? This Wang Xuan dared to say such things about the King of Han. Will he be silenced?
Suddenly, Yu You was shaking like chaff and kept shouting, "I don't dare, I don't dare."
"I see there's nothing you dare not do!" Wang Xuan slammed the table, so frightened that Yu You knelt down on the spot.
"You even dare to invade the frontiers of my Han Dynasty. What else do you dare not do? If you are not severely punished, where is the power of my Han Dynasty?"
As soon as Wang Xuan said these words, Yu You's mind was filled with a series of images such as the statue on the cement block, Ling Chi, being buried alive, being quartered by five horses, and being broken into thousands of pieces. These were all Wang Xuan's murder methods that were widely rumored in the world. He was so scared that he collapsed on the ground.
, no words can come out.
Looking at the coward below, Wang Xuan is so angry. I have made it so clear, heavy punishment, shouldn't you quickly say that you accept the punishment, and then I will give you a heavy sum of food and let it pass, but you are so special
Why shake your hair!
How to get down this stairs now!
Taking a deep breath, Wang Xuan had no choice but to find a step for himself, and cursed: "Damn it, if you weren't from the Yu family, I would cut you into pieces and feed them to the dogs today."
If it wasn't Ling Chi, it would be made into a concrete pillar. Thinking of being made into a concrete pillar and standing at the gate of the city, with the bones and souls imprisoned in it, and being scolded by thousands of people in the wind and sun, Yu You burst into tears on the spot.
Wang Xuan:......
Am I pretty? Am I pretty? Did you hear me?
Wang Xuan stood up from his seat, walked to Yu You's side in three steps, and kicked him over, "Stop screaming, you coward."
"If you cry again I will kill you!"
"Ah!?" Yu You looked up at Wang Xuan with a face full of snot and tears, with a look of disbelief on his face. He finally understood this sentence.
"Don't kill me?" Yu You looked surprised.
"No, no, no, look at how afraid of death you are, damn it."
Upon hearing Wang Xuan's confirmation, Yu You was so surprised that snot bubbles came out of his nose, and he hugged Wang Xuan's thigh.
"Get out!" Wang Xuan raised his leg and kicked Yu You out. If he wasn't afraid that he would kick the old guy to death if he got too strong, Wang Xuan would have wanted to go up and kick him hard.
Isn't it said that people from aristocratic families are very strong-willed? Why the hell did we encounter such a thing?
By now, Wang Xuan was too lazy to talk nonsense and stated the conditions directly, "Each of you will provide one million shi of food, and this incident will be written off."
"Okay, hurry up and leave. Don't be an eyesore here." There is nothing to be polite to this kind of person. As for whether the four families will comply with this condition in the future, Wang Xuan is not worried.
This time they invaded first, giving Wang Xuan an excuse not to pay a price. It was just food, which was nothing to these four families.
The best paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River can be harvested twice a year, and the rice yield can easily be five dan per mu. A million dan is just the output of 200,000 acres of land. Although not much land was developed in Jiangnan in this era, it was not divided by anyone.
compare.
Among these four major families, none of them have hundreds of acres of land, but no one takes good care of it. For them, what they lack is never land but population.
For all the families in Jiangdong, what they do most every year is to plunder people from Shanyue. Because the medical conditions are poor, natural reproduction is too slow, and the Jiangbei family also strictly prohibits population movement, so naturalizing Shanyue is the largest family in the Jiangdong family.
source of population.
Feudal society is like this. Even if the local population is overpopulated, the aristocratic gentry is not willing to lose the population. After all, the more people there are, the cheaper the labor force is, the more profits the aristocratic gentry will have, and the stronger their authority will be. Therefore, they are strictly guarded against fleeing people and fleeing their households.
Defeated.
Similarly, this is one of the reasons why Wang Xuan is interested in Jiangdong. As long as he reaches an agreement with the Jiangdong family, Liu Bei's crisis can be alleviated immediately.
As the saying goes, misfortune is a blessing. What the Zhongyuan Family did this time was not all bad. It had a strong positive effect on the development of Jiangnan.
The reason is that when people from the south move north, their adaptation rate increases significantly after Wang Xuan builds the fire wall. But when people from the north move south, Wang Xuan has nothing to do about the various diseases caused by the hot and humid climate.
Jiangnan at this time was not hundreds of years later. The current environment is very harsh. Without the adaptation and development of several generations, it would be impossible for Jiangnan to be prosperous.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is very difficult to move people to the south of the Yangtze River, and if one mistake is made, there will be a large-scale rebellion. But this time, the blame was taken by the Central Plains family.
It was the Central Plains family who frantically drove away the people, and the Han government, headed by Liu Bei, had no choice but to move the people to the south of the Yangtze River for food.
If you want to blame it, blame it on the Central Plains family. It’s okay to curse their whole family to death, but Wang Xuan is the one who is the Buddha of thousands of families and is respected by all people.
With this plan in mind, Wang Xuan boarded the ship from Yueyang, and with the escorts Zhao Yun and Yang Ren, they headed down the river to the east of the Yangtze River.
