Episode 0290: Grand Merchant Group One
Since ancient times, land has been fundamental, whether it is the common people, clans, civil ministers and military generals, imperial relatives and even the struggle between countries, in the final analysis, it is just for the word land.
Land represents wealth, but also represents status, who would not value land?
Peng Yu's implementation of military tun farming in Chang'an will naturally affect the fundamental interests of some people, but the strange thing is that no one has mentioned this matter, and Peng Yu has not received a notice, such a major event seems to be progressing quite smoothly in Chang'an, and I have not heard of any dissatisfaction with this matter.
After more than a month, Peng Yu suddenly remembered this matter, and after asking Gu Yong and Xun Yu, he learned that the location chosen by Jia Xu was very ingenious, and it happened to be a sparsely populated area, and everyone knew that Peng Yu treated the people very well, and would never dare to bully the people.
Ordinary people, Peng Yu is not worried, but how can the clans and nobles be so easy to discuss?
Gu Yong and Xun Yu could only smile bitterly at Peng Yu when they heard this.
It turned out that the new Taishou had not yet entered Chang'an, but he directly sent troops to occupy Chang'an, and imprisoned all the officials in Chang'an, and annihilated the Dong family that was rampant in Chang'an. Who else dares to disagree?
The Dong family is over, who has the power of the Dong family?
And after the propaganda of Jia Xu and Guo Jia, Peng Yu's "exploits" have long been spread all over Chang'an, everyone knows that General Peng kills people like hemp, and hundreds of ministers in Luoyang are known to Chang'an children.
The ministers in front of His Majesty dare to kill, what is the little squire noble?
When the child cried in the middle of the night, many people frightened the child in the name of General Peng.
Peng Yu was furious when he heard this, but acting like this really saved too much trouble for the generals, once the nobles seemed to be a little reluctant, the generals only smiled and said, "The last general does not dare to make the decision, and it is still to be reported to General Peng to decide", after the other party immediately saluted, "This matter is very good, just follow the general's ......"
In this way, hundreds of thousands of troops went around the fields, and the clans and nobles suffered a lot of losses, but they dared not speak out.
Fortunately, Peng Yu has been practicing the "Five Fowl Opera" with Hua Tuo every day for a month, although one month is not enough time to strengthen the body, but the kung fu of self-cultivation is much stronger, although he has the intention to scold, but he has to reluctantly accept this fact and did not scold, so General Peng has become a villain in Chang'an City.
Peng Yu heard that everyone in Chang'an City was afraid of his prestige, and his heart moved and asked, "Since Peng has a great reputation, if you gather rich businessmen and scholars in Chang'an, I don't know how many people are willing to come?" ”
Gu Yong pouted, "Except for those who were scared to death on the spot, everything else has to come." ”
Peng Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, it was difficult to raise a billion wealth with the power of the Wei family, but if he ordered all the wealthy merchants and scholars in the entire Chang'an to work together, wouldn't the billion money be captured?
Once Peng Yu's idea pops up, he can't suppress it, Chang'an is the ancient capital, and there are countless wealthy families, so he can find the richest 100 families in Chang'an and let each of them contribute 10 million yuan, which must be handy.
It's just that you can't grab it openly, you have to choose a good way to let it be sent obediently.
Peng Yu told Xun Yu and Gu Yong that since he took office, he had not received a gathering of wealthy families, which was against etiquette, so that the two immediately summoned the wealthy families to come, Xun Yu and Gu Yong were startled, and thought that Peng Yu was going to kill all the rich families in Chang'an, robbing money and food.
After Peng Yu used His Majesty's title of "will be Shaofu" to pay attention to local business and gather wealth for His Majesty, he finally reached an agreement and decided that Gu Yong and Xun Yu would be responsible for summoning all the wealthy merchants and wealthy families in Chang'an to gather in Taishou Mansion after half a month.
The two had no choice but to do so, and the two also wanted to see why Peng Yu had summoned so many wealthy businessmen to come.
Xun Yu even asked Guo Jia, and Guo Jia said, I'm afraid that General Peng wants to pull out food from these people's mouths and take out money and goods from them.
Xun Yu said secretly, if Peng Yu made a robbery, then he would have to recommend it desperately, otherwise wouldn't one party become a bandit bully?
Half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the lights in the Taishou Mansion are colorful, and Chang'an City has imposed a curfew tonight.
The reason why the curfew was imposed was because Peng Yu recalled all the 10,000 cavalry of Lu Bu and Zhao Yun into Chang'an City, and it was inevitable that the cavalry injured the people.
10,000 cavalry lined up on both sides of the road, everyone did not move, and the prosperity of the soldiers made Guo Jiadu, who was accustomed to seeing big scenes, faintly excited.
Guo Jia said secretly, could it be that Peng Yu was really caught by Xun Yu and wanted to raise a butcher's knife to wipe out all the wealthy families?
Guo Jia smacked his tongue secretly, Jia Xu was still squinting, and Xun Yu was frowning, but Gu Yong was busy receiving heroes from all walks of life.
Although Gu Yong is busy, he is in a good mood, these wealthy families are usually not above the top, but Peng Yu gave an order, everyone had to come, and even many, many wealthy families were the patriarchs themselves, for fear of annoying Peng Yu, the blood stains of the Dong family had not dried yet.
After the wealthy families came to Chang'an, they saw the cavalry gathered in Chang'an City, Chang'an seemed to be murderous, where did they dare to pose in Chang'an, all of them lowered their heads, trembling and stepping into the Taishou Mansion, and when they met Gu Yong, they almost knelt on the ground, how could Gu Yong's mood be bad.
Peng Yu heard that there were many people who came to the appointment in the Taishou Mansion, and his face was full of joy, but when he saw the soldiers in Chang'an, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his heart was fast, is this movement too big?
The movement was not something that Peng Yu came up with on a whim, this was the second suggestion that Jia Xu made after Peng Yu asked Jia Xu, to use soldiers to deter these wealthy families, according to Jia Xu's meaning, if you don't deter, I'm afraid you can't talk about anything, so Peng Yu reluctantly agreed.
As for Jia Xu's first suggestion, of course, it is to kill people, as soon as the time comes, those who do not arrive will be killed, if all arrive before the hour, then Peng Yu will ask questions but those who hesitate will be killed, anyway, there is always a reason to kill a group of people, so the rest, Peng Yu spoke, naturally the wind will be windy, and it will rain.
But this strategy is too strong, it seems to have evolved into robbers, although these wealthy families are rich, but they are also the people of the Han Dynasty, and they are also the people under Peng Yu's rule, Peng Yu is not willing to do such a strong thing to buy and sell, so he has to follow the second suggestion to deter Liwei.
I have to say that the rich families in Chang'an City are undoubtedly smart people who have seen the world, although they all know that there is definitely nothing good about Tai Shou Xiangzhao, but if it doesn't arrive or arrives late, then I'm afraid I don't know what the news is, how can the dead know what good things are bad?
Therefore, everyone came many days in advance, for fear of annoying this powerful and cruel general.
