Qinzhou.

At this time, under Liu Yuzhi's urgent order, the county orders from all over the country had already gathered together.

He is the governor of Qin, under the government order, how dare the county commanders delay, in the hall, a group of officials are wearing county magistrate uniforms, and after seeing him, they all bow their hands: "Lord Liu." ”

"Okay, the situation is urgent, let's not talk nonsense."

Liu Yuzhi went straight to the point, looked around and said: "Right now, my Qin army officers and soldiers are fighting bloody battles with Xirong on the front line, and the matter of grain and grass is a top priority. ”

His words were already very straightforward, and when the officials heard this, they first looked at each other, and then, the Ganshan County Commander stood up and arched his hand and said:

"Lord Liu, according to the decree of the state government, the barren land has just been reclaimed, and when it is reclaimed, it is not in the spring ploughing season, which means that the people everywhere have no harvest this year, especially in our county, the people's rations are still insufficient, even if the forced expropriation is launched, I am afraid it is a drop in the bucket."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yuzhi said: "Forced expropriation will cause resentment among the people, and together with the resentment, it will not be conducive to the future governance of Qindi, and more importantly, if the people have no food, it may cause some turmoil, so we need to find a compromise way." ”

"What do you mean ......," an official asked.

Liu Yuzhi said: "In the past, in various counties, there were many powerful and powerful people who annexed fertile land, and after so many years, how many people they exploited came out of them!" ”

"But this ...... There's no reason for it, sir. Ganshan County ordered.

Liu Yuzhi glanced at him and said in a straight voice: "The family and the country are in trouble, this is the reason!" You are officials, no matter how rich and powerful they are, they are also the people, can you understand the meaning of your officials? ”

"This ......"

The Ganshan County Commander wanted to say something, but Liu Yuzhi had already said again: "Considering the situation in Ganshan, two thousand stones, is there a problem." ”

"My lord, this." The Ganshan County Commander was a little anxious.

As a result, Liu Yuzhi didn't wait for him to finish, he raised his hand to stop him, and then looked at Yangping County Order: "Yangping County, three thousand stones, is there a problem." ”

He was so direct, his tone was unquestionable, the Yangping County Commander couldn't help swallowing his saliva, secretly looked at Liu Yuzhi's face, and then said weakly: "Yes...... Yes, the subordinate obeyed. ”

"Yulin, two thousand stone ......"

He arranged the tasks one by one, and when he arrived in Fengyang County, his county commander Jiang Yi stood up first, and said: "Lord Changshi, Fengyang County, can produce 10,000 stones of grain and grass." ”

What the? When the officials heard this, they couldn't help but look at him.

You must know that the current Qin land is very poor, the people have no harvest, the barren land has just been reclaimed, and it is already very difficult to make thousands of stones of grain and grass, but Jiang Yi opened his mouth to 10,000.

Liu Yuzhi couldn't help but look at him, but he didn't say anything, but nodded and said, "Okay, since Lord Jiang has such confidence, then the official will please." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at everyone again: "Remember, this matter is urgent, there must be no slackness, if you do not complete the explanation of the state capital, you can resign to Lord Taishou." ”

This...... When the officials heard this, they couldn't help but slide their Adam's apple and swallowed their saliva.

"Now we all go back and prepare quickly."

"Yes—" The crowd saluted and retreated.

After it dispersed, Liu Yuzhi hurried again and rushed to the Ordnance Division in person.

Today's Ordnance Department has recruited a lot of workers, which can be described as lively and busy, with Xiao Yuan's strong support and appropriation, it is divided into several departments, some places are building war swords and armor, and some places are building strong bows and crossbows.

Hearing that Changshi had arrived, Ji Ping, the director of the Ordnance Department, couldn't help but hurriedly greeted him.

The two met, and before he could speak, Liu Yuzhi had already asked directly: "Have the new batch of arrows been built?" ”

"Under the orders of the lord, the Ordnance Department is working day and night, and tonight, the preparations can be completed." Ji Ping replied.

"Okay." Liu Yuzhi nodded: "Lord Taishou governs the army, especially the bow and crossbow, if there is no Qin army's arrow array, there will be one less killing weapon, therefore, this batch of arrows, there must be no difference, after loading into a car, the official will personally inspect it." ”

"Yes, yes, Lord Changshi can rest assured......," Ji Ping replied again and again.

The two were talking, but Ye Cheng walked over quickly, and as soon as they met, he said urgently: "Oh, Lord Liu, I've been looking for you for a long time." ”

"Oh? But all the four major businessmen have arrived? Liu Yuzhi asked.

"Exactly, I'm waiting for my lord in the Zuichun Building." Ye Cheng replied.

"Okay, let's go." Liu Yuzhi was too busy, he had just finished explaining to the county orders, and he came to the Ordnance Department again, but he didn't stand firm, and then ran to the Drunken Spring Building.

Ye Cheng followed him, and couldn't help but say on the way: "Lord Liu, now our army is in urgent need of food and grass, and these heroes are so rich, but they are all pushing back and not wanting to contribute, why is Lord Taishou fighting Xirong?" Isn't it for the peace of Qindi? To protect these people? Tell me to say, it's better to let the Wuwei Mansion surround them with heavy troops and arrest them all! Suppressed by force! Look at him who dares not to give! ”

"Nonsense!" Liu Yuzhi glared at him and said, "In this way, how different is it from a robber, from now on, whoever dares to come to Qin to do business will inevitably cause a large number of merchants to flee." ”

"That'...... So what to do? ”

"Don't worry, they'll come out on their own." Liu Yuzhi smiled slightly.

Drunken Spring Building.

This is the largest restaurant in Qinzhou, in the private room, the dishes are served one by one, four businessmen are already waiting, these four people, all of them are rich businessmen in Qinzhou, with thousands of family fortunes, and business all over Qindi.

But no matter how rich they are, Governor Qin's history is equivalent to the invitation of the second-in-command, and they have to come to the banquet.

In the process of waiting, one of them also frowned slightly, and said with some worry: "In the past, I wanted to invite Liu Yuzhi out for a meal, but I couldn't find a way, but now he invites me to wait, which is a bit strange." ”

"yes, that's not the case...... someone else continued.

The four of them whispered, and at this moment, footsteps came from outside, and Liu Yuzhi walked in quickly.

Seeing this, the four of them hurriedly got up, put on smiling faces, and bowed their hands one after another: "I've seen Lord Liu." ”

"Everyone, please take a seat." Liu Yuzhi returned the salute with a smile on his face.

Everyone sat down one after another, and the four merchants first glanced at each other, and then one of them took the lead in speaking: "Lord Liu invited me today, I am honored, but I don't know what to order." ”

Liu Yuzhi glanced at a few people, and did not beat around the bush, and said bluntly:

"It's not a secret, the current situation in Qindi, I think you also know that the people are poor, taxes are difficult to collect, and our army is in urgent need of the support of this batch of grain and grass, if there is no follow-up supply, I am afraid that the war will be unfavorable, so I would like to ask you to contribute generously......"
