Chapter 65: The Battle of the Granary
Seeing that token, the face of the Dongyang City Lord instantly became extremely bitter, and his heart was full of fire. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It was a princely order, although Mo Xuan didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was very clear.
Either take the initiative to open the granary, or I will force you to open it!
Mo Xuan took out the princely decree to let the Dongyang City Lord understand this, obviously, the Dongyang City Lord understood.
Staring at the princely order, the Dongyang City Lord almost crushed his yellow teeth.
This is also too aggrieved, he is the lord of a county, and he has been powerful for decades, but now he is ridden to his head by a hairy boy.
But he can't resist, after all, the identities of the two sides are there, he is a subordinate official, and he must obey orders!
"I think, I don't need to say it again!" Mo Xuan glanced at the Dongyang City Lord with a bitter face, and said lightly.
He said he was here to discuss, but in fact he was here to command!
These dignitaries and nobles don't let the people live comfortably, and he naturally won't let them live comfortably.
I have to say that although there is no real power, no fiefdom and no private soldiers, just this identity token of the first crown is of great help to Mo Xuan.
It is estimated that Zhen Guchuan didn't expect that the insidious move at the beginning would now help Mo Xuan so many times.
Inside the hall, the atmosphere was terrifyingly heavy, and the air was almost frozen.
The city lord of Dongyang has one of the biggest characteristics of his life, that is, he is greedy for money and lustful.
Those grains were scavenged and embezzled by him with great difficulty, but they were all money, and if you asked him to put grain, it was tantamount to cutting his flesh and drinking his blood, how could it be so easy.
"Alas!"
After a long time, the city lord of Dongyang let out a long sigh, his face became cloudy, and he looked like he was suffering.
Seeing this, Mo Xuan frowned, unable to figure out what tricks this cunning guy wanted to play.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qiqi, I can't hide it, in fact, I also want to open a warehouse and release grain to help the people, but this is really impossible!"
"It's freezing this day, the snow disaster came too suddenly, the people have no harvest, and there is no hoarded surplus grain in our granary, even if we want to open the warehouse to release grain, we don't have to put it!"
……
The city lord of Dongyang sat down and had a long talk, looking worried about the country and the people, and even squeezed out some tears in his eyes.
He began to pretend, trying to fool Mo Xuan away.
But Mo Xuan is not stupid, he overheard their specific situation last night, and knows how amazing their granary and grain are, how can they be deceived now.
"There isn't much food left, and the city lord's breakfast is still so huge, I think, the food that is dumped when the garbage is dumped is enough to relieve some of the victims!" Mo Xuan glanced at him and snorted coldly.
Hearing this, the thin body of the main body of Dongyang City suddenly shook, and he couldn't wait to slap himself.
Only then did he realize that what he had just done was not contradictory to his words.
He just feasted on the front foot, and said that the food was in short supply, even if he coaxed a three-year-old child, it would not be successful, let alone Mo Xuan.
The city lord of Dongyang secretly annoyed that he was negligent, and he couldn't wait to smoke himself, why did he have nothing to do with so much breakfast, or wait for Mo Xuan to leave before eating!
It's good now, give Mo Xuan a handle.
After the Dongyang City Lord twitched his face a few times, he forced a smile and said: "Your Highness has misunderstood, what you see may not happen once a year, and it does not mean that there is more surplus food in the city." ”
"I don't care if you do it once a year or every day, I only need to see this once, needless to say, open a warehouse and release grain, this is the order of the prince!" Mo Xuan raised the princely order and said coldly, too lazy to talk nonsense with it!
The face of the Dongyang City Lord turned green, his palm was pressed on the table, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, this is not the royal capital, I will give you face, and I hope that Your Highness will also give me some face, and other things are easy to say, this granary is my property, and it can't be opened." ”
After that, his pupils refracted an astonishing killing intent, and his thin body actually had a strong momentum.
In order to preserve the wealth under his command, he also fought hard.
"I will report to the king, saying that you treat the prince like dung and disobey orders!" Mo Xuan ignored his threat, turned around and left, without dragging his feet in the slightest.
"Slow!"
As soon as he heard the three words of King Feng, the face of the Dongyang City Lord changed greatly, and he hurriedly said.
Looking at the entire Daqian Dynasty, it is estimated that there are no corrupt officials who are not afraid of serving the king, the latter is entrusted by the previous king to protect the country, and killing these corrupt officials does not even need to be rewarded.
Now everyone in the world knows that Mo Xuan, the first crown king, is very appreciated by the king, and in this case, Mo Xuan's words are not an ordinary threat to the Dongyang City Lord.
"What's the matter, the city lord has changed his mind?" Hearing the Dongyang city lord's shout, Mo Xuan stopped and asked.
The Dongyang City Lord's face was cloudy, and his heart was full of murderous intent, but he was afraid of King Feng behind Mo Xuan, so he had to give up this plan in the end.
"That's it, I'll open the granary!"
After a while, the Dongyang City Lord said in a dejected manner, almost gritting his teeth and saying this sentence.
"Then please lead the way!" Mo Xuan smiled slightly, bright and brilliant, but it was a nightmare smile in the eyes of the Dongyang City Lord, and he never wanted to see it again.
"Humph!"
The Dongyang City Lord got up, waved his robe, and walked out with a gloomy face, followed by Mo Xuan and Mo Li.
A large number of guards set off to open the way for the Dongyang City Lord, and the group left the City Lord's Mansion in a mighty manner and went to a large area in the north of the city.
This urban area is uninhabited, but it is a place where granaries and other warehouses are concentrated.
The granaries were towering, huge and incomparably huge, with countless wine, meat, and grain, as well as a large amount of gold and silver treasures.
For mortals, this area is nothing short of paradise.
This place seems to be regarded as his own private domain by the city lord of Dongyang, and it is heavily guarded, and at a glance, there are not a few forbidden troops, and those who don't know it probably think it's a military camp!
Mo Xuan's eyes swept over this urban area, and he saw no less than 100,000 granaries, an extremely staggering number.
Immediately, he was relieved, after all, Dongyang County is vast, and there are hundreds of millions of people, so it is not surprising that after so many years, this Dongyang City Lord has looted so many people's fat and people's cream.
"Open the granary, put the grain!"
After stopping in front of the granaries, looking at the terrifying wealth in front of him, a look of intoxication flashed in the eyes of the Dongyang City Lord, and then he ordered with a heartache.
After receiving the order, a guard immediately opened the outermost granary, and the moment the warehouse door was opened, the grain rushed out like a flood, and it could not be stopped, which shows how much grain is piled up here.
Seeing so much grain poured out of the granary, the heart of the Dongyang City Lord was dripping blood!
It's all money!
Mo Xuan was stunned, he found that these soldiers had no follow-up after opening a granary!
100,000 granaries, open one to help the victims?
Mo Xuan was almost stunned, this Dongyang City Lord was too stingy, he was simply an iron rooster!
There are so many people outside, how can a granary be enough? This so-called opening of the warehouse to release grain is clearly a perfunctory treatment for His Royal Highness, the one-crown king.
After knowing all this, Mo Xuan did not rush to attack, but quietly asked Mo Li to gather the victims who had entered the city with them and let them take things to get food.
When the victims arrived, Mo Xuan told them to bring the grain to the city gate to help the people outside the city, and spread the news that the city lord had opened a warehouse to release grain.
The purpose of this move is to attract those displaced people, let them gather here, and save Mo Xuan from looking for them one by one.
On the side, when the Dongyang City Lord heard Mo Xuan's words, his face immediately changed.
Looking at it like this, Mo Xuan is determined to use this Dongyang City as a refugee concentration camp!
The city lord of Dongyang suppressed the anger in his heart, and kept telling himself to be calm, to endure, and to be calm......
But then Mo Xuan's request made him unable to hold back any longer, and he was furious!
I saw that after Mo Xuan arranged for the people to empty this granary, he looked at the Dongyang City Lord with a smile and said, "City Lord, please open the next granary!"
As soon as these words came out, the Dongyang City Lord jumped up directly, pointed at Mo Xuan's nose and scolded angrily: "I said that the surname is Mo, don't deceive people too much, don't think that you are a king with a different surname, you can do evil." ”
Mo Xuan was speechless for a while, he wanted to open a warehouse to release grain to help the victims, how could he become a wrongdoer?
Touching his nose, Mo Xuan's hand was on his waist again, and there, there was a princely order!
The Dongyang City Lord almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, which was also hateful, and he used this token to oppress him every time.
"Even if you move out of King Feng, it's useless, I will never continue to open the granary, it's a big deal, if you don't let me have a good time, I won't let you leave easily!"
"Qiang Qiang ......"
Under his roar, all the soldiers aimed their war spears at Mo Xuan, cold and ruthless.
Mo Xuan frowned and said coldly, "Do you know what you're doing?"
"Why don't you know, of course I know what I'm doing, let me tell you, don't toast and don't eat and drink, opening a granary is already my bottom line, and if you force me again, I will make you walk around without eating, understand?"
"Everything else is easy to say, you can move my property, no way, you have to rush, I won't give it to you if I burn it!"
……
The city lord of Dongyang said hideously, broke the jar and fell, and did not hesitate to tear his face or open the granary.
"Toast and don't eat and drink, I want to taste what it's like!" Mo Xuan said coldly, murderous.
He has a lot of hole cards, and he is confident that he can leave calmly, so he is full of confidence.
"Even if you find the king, it's useless, it's all my money, it's all my life, I will never let you be so bad. The Dongyang City Lord gritted his teeth and said, his eyes were crazy.
"Rumble ......"
Mo Xuan stopped talking, and directly took out the silver dragon snow spear, his robe was windless and automatic, and the Xuan power was surging like thunder.
"If you don't open it, I'll force it open!" Mo Xuan said indifferently, his words made the Dongyang City Lord extremely angry.
"Boom ......"
After saying that, Mo Xuan raised the spear in his hand, and the Xuan power exploded, wanting to blast open those granaries alive.
If this shot is thrown, then the Dongyang City Lord may not be able to stop it if he wants to.
The Dongyang City Lord was furious, he didn't expect Mo Xuan to be so tough and not back down at all.
How did he know that Mo Xuan hated threats the most, and what he was not afraid of was trouble!
Mo Xuan is determined to help the suffering people of Dongyang County, then he will definitely do what he says, how can he be threatened by a mere Dongyang City Lord.
In the eyes of the Dongyang City Lord, these grains are his money and are of immeasurable value, but in Mo Xuan's eyes, if they can't save people's lives, then these grains are worthless.
Whether it is said that Mo Xuan is compassionate or that he is nosy, these other people's opinions and statements cannot change Mo Xuan's mind and beliefs.
The court doesn't care about the people, he has to take care of it, he has to help these people, he can't let his comrades-in-arms under Jiuquan chill.
Countless soldiers died on the battlefield, and if their families were still living so miserably in the rear, how could they be blinded.
And most importantly...... Mo Xuan couldn't bear it, the land and people that everyone had fought so hard to protect were trampled like this!
