Regardless of whether the county commander Yang Jie has a deep city government, in the final analysis, he is just a landlord and a tyrant.

The landlord will always only stare at his own one-third of an acre, and his knowledge is limited, and he cannot see too long-term things.

He was able to take advantage of the opportunity to rise in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which can only show that he has a certain amount of luck and a certain amount of scheming, and he knows how to protect himself better than other landlords and tyrants. Some landlords are like this, and when something happens, they immediately think about how to save themselves. Sometimes they take risks, sometimes they grovel, and in order to survive, no matter how ridiculous it is, it is possible.

Now Yang Jie has soared into the sky and become the head of a county, but he still has not changed the nature of the landlord and local tyrant. When he became the county magistrate, he couldn't see the crisis in front of him, and he thought that the entire Yang County was now under his control.

In his hands, he not only controlled more than 300 young and strong families of local lords and tyrants, but he also personally accepted hundreds of adult men as domestic slaves, including dozens of other large and small landlords and tyrants, and also accepted many ordinary people as domestic slaves. Well, wanting to be their house slave doesn't mean that just one person can do it.

In this way, the power they have in their hands is a bit terrifying, and I am afraid that there will be thousands of people in total.

With thousands of people in their hands, they never thought that the ordinary people of Yang County would be able to turn over the sky.

In fact, it is really difficult, otherwise, the people of Yangshi County would have rioted a long time ago.

Now Yang Jie naturally does not think about how to govern the people of a county, but thinks about using the power in his hands to get more benefits.

Including all the landlords and tyrants present, all of them are a group of profit-hungry people.

They have not considered the rationality of selling grain to the government at a high price at all, and they only have huge profits in their eyes, and they fantasize that the government will honor their white slips in the future.

After all, they all subconsciously think that the government will not deceive people. What's more, they themselves are the government, will they lie to themselves? It's a big deal, in the future, the tax revenue of Yang's County will be used to pay for their grain.

After Wen Shen expressed to Yang Jie that he also wanted to take a sip of soup from it, Yang Jie immediately believed Wen Shen. Because in this way, Wenshen is equivalent to their own people. At least, they have a desire for common interests, so he believes that Wen Shen will definitely try his best to deal with the government above and let the above transfer the grain money.

The landlords and tyrants present also basically agreed on their opinions and decided to sell their surplus grain to the government in the form of white slips. And wrote the note on the spot and stamped the official seal. In addition, there is a certificate written by Yang Jie, the county magistrate, confirming that he ordered the county Cheng Wenshen to take full authority to handle the government's purchase of grain. Through Wen Shen's hands in this way, once something happens, it will also be Wen Shen's disaster.

That night, the landlord and local tyrant began to prepare grain, and as soon as it was dawn, it would be delivered to the place designated by Wenshen and delivered to Wenshen.

Wen Shen saw the amount of grain that these landlords and local tyrants could deliver, and he was pleasantly surprised, but also hated a little.

After calculating the total amount, it actually reached as much as 500,000 catties, that is, 10,000 stones of various grains. According to their 100 yuan per catty, it is equivalent to 50 million yuan.

Fifty million money, they really dare to think that it is impossible for the government and the court to really give them 50 million money.

What is the concept of 50 million dollars? What can be done in this era?

Liu Xian's father, Liu Kui, once had more than 50 million yuan. But Liu Kui's identity is the emperor's younger brother, sitting on a fief of the Yi State, and after so many years of operation, he has 50 million yuan. Yang Jie: With this bit of food, they easily want to earn 50 million money?

Now the Han court can sell lords and officials. The story of Cui Lie's purchase of an official is recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Cui Lie spent 5 million yuan to buy a Situ official position, and Situ is one of the three princes of the Han Dynasty. In other words, with the 50 million money, they can buy ten official positions similar to those of Situ in the Han Dynasty, and the three princes and nine ministers of the entire court were bought by them.

Of course, this is just a theory, and in fact, it is impossible to really buy all these official positions in the imperial court.

But here it can be shown that 50 million dollars is a huge amount of money.

Seriously, if there was really 50 million money in front of Wen Shen's eyes, he would also be excited.

And if these landlords and tyrants really delivered 10,000 stone of grain to him, then the food crisis in the entire Yangshi County could be alleviated.

According to the soup soup alone, three taels of rice porridge per person per day is enough to keep them alive and maintain.

There are more than 10,000 people in Yangshi County, and of course, there are many villages and towns under Yangshi County, which will have to be taken into account at that time.

Combined, a rough estimate, there should be about 30,000 people.

Then if you consume about 10,000 catties of grain every day, 500,000 catties can last for about 50 days, but you can actually last for two months. With a two-month buffer, at least we can buy food from other places.

In addition, it should be said that it is really not strange that these landlords, tyrants, and wealthy households in Yangshi County can get tens of thousands of stones of grain.

Like Liu's Mansion, it basically has the grain consumed by Liu's family for a year, and sometimes it will prepare an extra year's grain reserves. But this is only Liu's Mansion, Liu's Mansion has no source of income, and there is no land to be like this, but the situation of those landlords and tyrants is completely different.

Every year, they collect grain rent and field taxes through their own fields, and directly harvest a large amount of grain. They will pay part of the official tax on this grain, sell part of the rest, and build warehouses and hide the rest.

Yangshi County is near the river, and it belongs to the plains, there are many fields, and it is normal for the average landlord to have hundreds of acres of fertile land. In this ancient era, the yield per mu was not high, and the general yield per mu was only two or three hundred catties of grain, so that according to the calculation of 100 mu, there were 50,000 or 60,000 catties of grain harvested in two periods a year. Of course, these won't all be theirs, but there will definitely be more than 20,000 catties of harvest a year.

And the landlords and tyrants hide grain every year, and over the years, the amount of grain in each landlord's tyrant's family will be a little amazing. Naturally, they will also dispose of the old grain and store the new grain every year, but every landlord and tyrant's family will have at least three or more years of storage, not to mention tens of thousands of catties.

Among the 500,000 catties, it was Yang Jie, the county commander, who contributed 100,000 catties of rice grain.

In fact, after the consumption of the previous year's unharvested harvest, and the fact that they had suffered some losses in the Yellow Turban Riots, there would have been more of this food. Even now, they must have hidden some of them for backup, and they can't hand them all over at once.

In any case, the plan is considered a success, and being able to get them to come up with food is a success.

Wen Shen still refused Yang Jie's extremely warm reception after his attitude towards him changed, and he didn't eat and drink with them.

After getting the food from Yang Jie and the others, they had to tell Liu Xian quickly and let Liu Xian prepare to receive the food.
