"Is this a war?"

When the county Cheng Wenshen and the county lieutenant Wang Bao heard Liu Xian's words, they all looked at me with a look of surprise, and they both saw a sense of surprise in the other party's eyes.

Liu Xian glanced at the two of them coldly, and said in a deep voice:

"Julu County and even the entire Han Dynasty, why did the Yellow Turban Rebellion break out? Why was our Yang County killed and eaten by a big family? Because of the people who participated in the riot, they were really desperate, their families were about to starve to death, anyway, they were all one death, as the so-called trapped beasts still fight, dogs will bite people when they are in a hurry. That's why they started this war, and they are going to die anyway, so why don't they dare to kill these government officials and soldiers who usually keep collecting all kinds of taxes from them and taking away all the money and food from their families? The little grain they had obtained through their hard work was first exploited by those landlords and tyrants in the name of collecting land rent, which directly caused the situation that their families had no money and no food and were starved to death. ”

"Now Yangshi County is also facing such a dangerous situation, like a ball of dry firewood that ignites little by little. Aren't your county decrees and the officials you just appointed the same as the original government, landlords, and tyrants? Hehe, the current situation may be even worse, because the government is the landlord and the local tyrant. And what role do you intend to play in this, the real court officials sent by the imperial court? ”

"Is it with Yang Jie and them? Or stand in the position of those people to seek a way for the people to live? When Liu Xian said this, his eyes were fixed on Wen Shen's body, and he said sharply: "Joining Yang Jie and them is tantamount to betraying the Han Dynasty and living up to Lord Huangfu Song's expectations of you!" Then your end is already doomed, or, you will be beaten to death by countless desperate people! Or wait to be questioned by the imperial court! Now, are you clear? From the moment you arrived in Yangshi County, the war had already begun, and there was no turning back for you. ”

Wen Shen's face was already full of shock at this time, and he shuddered in his heart.

He felt that what this little boy Liu Xian said was heart-wrenching. But at the same time, it really woke him up.

This is true, when they arrived in Yangshi County, they were really caught in a war as soon as they arrived. One bad one is to break your bones. Liu Xian said that once there is another civil riot in this Yang County, then whether their government suppresses the people, or the people kill the government, they will not end well. What if the people were suppressed? The imperial court will definitely punish them for the crime of inaction, and even Huangfu Song beheaded them first.

But the current situation in Yang's County has made him unable to start, it can really be said that he has fallen into a dead end, and he really has no way to break the situation for a while.

Thinking about the situation in Yangshi County, it seems that it really can't wait, maybe there will be a situation of popular riots soon.

In fact, at this time, if someone dares to stand up and shout again, "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, kill the official mansion and eat the big family". I believe that the entire Yang County will boil all at once.

This is indeed a status quo in Yangshi County, the original small and medium-sized landlords and wealthy households have replaced the original position of the government and local tyrants, and it still makes the ordinary people have no way to live.

Of course, this is not all to blame on those small and medium-sized landlords and wealthy households. After all, the current situation of the people is not caused by them, this is also Yang Jie, who confidently said that they do not steal or rob, but just sell their own rice and grain at a high price. But when that time comes, will those people still care about you? The people are all blind obedient, and you still have surplus food, and they are all dying of hunger, who can rob you if they don't rob you?

What's more, having said that, as long as it is a rich landlord, it is really difficult to say that he is innocent. They have more or less exploited the people, although the big head was taken away by the original big landlords and tyrants. In the midst of the disaster, with the help of the men and horses they organized, they skillfully borrowed their names, sold them or borrowed them, and how many people had to sell their sons and daughters and sell themselves as slaves for a ration of food? What's more, they sell grain at a high price in a disaster, this is making war money, disaster money, this is being unkind to the rich, and they are innocent of death!

I didn't expect Liu Xiangongzi to be young, but he could see through the current crisis in Yang's County at a glance, gain insight into the current situation, turn over his remarks, and wake up Wen. Wen Shen is ashamed! Shame on you! ”

Wen Shen really blushed at this time, he stood up, walked out of the banquet table, stood in the small hall, and bowed to Liu Xian seriously: "Wen Shen admires!" Liu Xian's son is extraordinary, a young talent, and he must have a strategy in his chest to deal with the current crisis in Yang's County. Wen Shen was brave and begged Gongzi to find a plan for Wen to save Yang's County from danger and save Wen's life! ”

Liu Xian accepted Wen Shen's gift with peace of mind, but he didn't speak for the first time, and silently picked up the teacup and drank the tea from the desk.

Seeing this, Wang Bao, the county lieutenant on the other side, looked at Liu Xian, and then at Wen Shen, but saw Wen Shen bowing his head and glancing at himself. He suddenly woke up a little, and hurriedly walked out, standing next to Wen Shen and saluting Liu Xian: "I ask Gongzi Liu to make a plan for us!" If you can solve the crisis in Yang's County and save Wang's life, Wang will not forget Liu Gongzi's great kindness, and there will be a good reward in the future! ”

"The words of County Lieutenant Wang are also the words of Wen, and I dare not forget it!" Wen Shen also followed.

"Haha, the two adults are serious, I, Liu Xian, am just a weak-crowned young man, how dare I be such a courtesy to the two adults, just sit and talk." Liu Xian smiled with satisfaction and invited the two adults to take their seats.

Liu Xian knew that it was impossible to subdue these two people immediately, let them realize their talents first, no longer regard themselves as ignorant teenagers, let them face themselves squarely, and let them owe themselves a big favor, then it would be easy to deal with them in the future.

After the two of them sat down, Liu Xian's expression was solemn and said, "It is not difficult to solve the crisis in Yangshi County. Just two words...... Grain! As long as the food crisis in Yangshi County is solved, then all problems can be solved. ”

"But there's no food now?"

"Who says there is no food? Yang Jie, don't they have it in the hands of these landlords and tyrants? ”

"They have it, but they don't want to take it out, they are very resolute and have to buy it from them at a high price. Could it be that Liu Gongzi, do you have a way to make them willing to sell those grains to the people at a low price? Wen Shen saw that the topic had turned back to this difficult problem, and he couldn't help but look at Liu Xian a little anxiously, hoping that Liu Xian would have a way to solve it.

"Hehe, even if Yang Jie and the others are willing to lower the price of food, it is estimated that the people will not have the money to buy it. This still does not solve the problem completely. Liu Xian shook his head and said: "I mean that you buy from Yang Jie and them in the name of the government, and you can buy as much as they want at the price they said." ”

"Buy? Or buy at the price they say? Where does our government have so much money? ”
