"Isn't that good? After all, all the money and grain were borrowed from Tian Mou and the landlords of those local scholars. I can't pay it back, I can't say it. Tian Feng found it difficult to accept for a while, Liu Xian said that he would solve the problem of grain debts for him.

"Mr. Tian, you, sometimes you are not too kind-hearted, and you don't know how to be flexible." Liu Xian shook his head speechlessly and said, "Let me tell you some of the most realistic situations." ”

"As far as I know, there are not many people in our Han Dynasty who really own their own fields. In Tianjia Village, like yours here, there are landlords, right? They were probably robbed and killed by the Yellow Turban Thieves? Are the villagers in your village renting the landlords' fields? And the landlord who owns so many fields, which landlord do you see who will personally go down to work in the field? I want to tell you this, in fact, the grain of those noble landlords is all the income of ordinary people's hard work, but they have taken it away under various names, and the grain that every common person has obtained from their own hard work is not enough for their own family to eat. ”

"And then? Some landlords and tyrants were killed and robbed by the yellow turban thieves, but there are still few landlords and tyrants who are fine. Now the people are starving to death because they have no food, but they still have so much food in their families. At this time, they should have taken out the surplus food to help the people who farmed for them, at least so that everyone could survive, right? Otherwise, the people are all dead, and who will cultivate the fields for them? ”

"The Yellow Turban thieves were actually ordinary people at first, they had no land and no land, and they were deeply exploited by the government, landlords and tyrants, and they couldn't survive, so that Taiping Dao had an opportunity to take advantage of it, so that they could respond to all calls and rebel together. If those landlords and tyrants are not too greedy and not too excessive, so that the people can barely survive, how can they rebel? After all, rebellion is a matter of losing heads, and I believe that as long as they can survive, those ordinary people will not easily oppose Han. ”

"Besides, don't say that the fields of those ordinary people are voluntarily sold to those landlords and tyrants. I believe that under normal circumstances, no peasant is willing to sell his land to those landlords and tyrants. Among them, there will definitely be some cats. Anyway, having said that, which of those landlords and tyrants is a good person? At least most of the landlords and tyrants will have some dirty things in their hands. ”

"Forget it, don't say much, anyway, Mr. Tian, just leave those debts to me to deal with for you. You can also rest assured that it will not affect your reputation or anything. ”

Liu Xian didn't want to carry out a moral kidnapping of those landlords and tyrants, but Liu Xian thought that they had grain to lend to Tian Feng, no, this was not a loan, it should have been sold to Tian Feng, an honest man, at a high price. This in itself is immoral, and it is making war and misery. So, Liu seemed to be going to talk to them.

"If Liu Xiangongzi can handle it well, then it's okay, but Tian Mou did negotiate with them, it's really not good to pay the bill directly, if it really doesn't work, then Tian will slowly return it to them in the future." Tian Feng is really a little worried that Liu Xian will make things bigger, so that his face is not very good-looking, in the final analysis, Tian Feng also relies on his own thin noodles to get a little food from the hands of those landlords and tyrants.

"Don't worry, give me all your IOUs later." Liu Xian said, thought for a while, and said: "Forget it, if you don't feel at ease [Biqu Island fo], then let's deal with these things first." After noon, let's go to Pingxiang County first, and then invite all your creditors to come together, and we will solve it together. ”

Liu Xian felt that if these things were not properly resolved, Tian Feng might not be very happy.

Next, Liu Xian and Tian Feng drank tea and chatted for a while, and Huang Wudie came back with someone.

There was not much prey in the mountains, just two or three wild wolves were shot. But there were fish in the river, and Huang Wudie caught some fish in the river by the way, and she killed them directly with arrows.

These prey and fish add up to more than 100 and 200 catties.

In fact, there are not 100 people in the entire Tianjia Village, and this meat is enough for them to eat a big meal.

Liu Xian asked the caravan guards who came with him to distribute the wolf meat and fish meat to the villagers of Tianjia Village, and each person got about a pound of meat.

For the rest, Liu Xian let them cook at Tian Feng's house.

These are not unusual things for Liu Xian, and it can only be said that lunch will be solved. But Tian Feng's pair of children ate happily, and it is estimated that they have not tasted meat for a long time.

Tian Feng also told his mother and wife that he wanted to go to Liulin Village with Liu Xian, so after finishing the meal, he cleaned up some soft things.

There are no valuables left at home, and some furniture and everything is left to the villagers. After all, Tian Feng's ancestral family has been ruined, and it is impossible for those things to stay in this family anymore.

Similarly, Liu Xian let Tian Feng's children and his wife ride on horses, and he and the caravan guards led the war horses and left Tianjia Village.

Seeing this, Tian Feng nodded silently in his heart, feeling that this Liu Xian's character was okay, and he was not the kind of traitor. From these details, it can also be seen that Liu Xian is always concerned about the situation of the people around him.

What made Tian Feng feel more at ease was that Liu Xian promised to send someone to send some grain to Tianjia Village, so that these villagers in Tianjia Village could survive this difficult period in peace.

Liu Xian and Tian Feng had just met for the first time, and they had only met each other, and they didn't think that they had anything special to make Tian Feng kowtow as soon as he saw him. Now being able to persuade Tian Feng to go with him and go to his own Liulin Village is already the best result. As for when Tian Feng will be convinced and confess himself as the Lord, then let time prove it.

Liu Xian has always believed that if he treats others with sincerity, he will definitely be able to gain the sincerity and loyalty of others.

After all, Pingxiang County is the county seat, and it has barely restored the normal order of life.

As a result, some shops and restaurants have also reopened.

Liu Xian directly asked people to charter one or two courtyards in the largest restaurant in Pingxiang County to do things.

A courtyard, let Tian Feng's family live first. The other is Liu Xian and his two daughters, and it is also the place where Tian Feng's creditors are met.

As for those under Liu Xian, they will all live in the post station. I can't leave today, so I have to find a place to spend the night.

Liu Xian also sent people on the spot to call all the creditors according to Tian Feng's IOUs.

In fact, most of them are people from Pingxiang County, and a small number of them are rich landlords in the villages and towns below Pingxiang County.

In various counties and villages and towns, although there will not be many landlords and tyrants, there must be a lot of them.

Normally, just like Tianjia Village, a village that is not too big, in fact, there will be two or three large households. Some of them were unfortunately plundered by the Yellow Turbans, but many of them escaped.

In fact, although it is true that the Yellow Turban Army has done great harm to the people of the Han Dynasty, it does not mean that all the Yellow Turban Army will kill people at will. Sometimes, they just rob the landlords and tyrants, but they don't necessarily kill them.

Many landlords and tyrants, as long as they escape with their lives, then they must still have a lot of money and grain that they can hide well. These are all common sense, ordinary landlords, they will quietly hide their grain in some secret granaries that no one knows.

Some landlords were even more desperate, and they would hide their grain in some secret caves in the mountains that no one knew about. Of course, in more places, they will dig some caves and secret rooms to hide money and food.

Like the guy in Yannan that Liu Xian collected in Zhaozhou County, he was not very qualified as a landlord, he didn't hide the money and grain, and when he was robbed, there was almost nothing, even if he escaped with his life, but unfortunately he didn't have much capital to turn over, except for the fields that the yellow turban thieves couldn't take away, but there was really nothing left of the money and grain.

The money and grain that Tian Feng borrowed from those landlords and tyrants were all those who had not been robbed much by the Yellow Turban thieves in the first place.

Well, it is conceivable that at the beginning of the Yellow Turban Uprising, it must have been aimed at the local government and the largest landlords and tyrants. After all, the peasant uprising had to face the pressure of the government first, and it was impossible for them to have so many manpower to plunder all the big households. In fact, the average wealthy family will have a caretaker, and the original Yellow Turban Army, if they want to fight a large family, they will have a lot of losses.

In this way, ordinary landlords and wealthy households will have time and opportunity to transfer their money and food and flee for their lives.

Liu Xian sent people to invite those creditors of Tianfeng to come to the restaurant inn to negotiate one by one. Far away naturally can't come so fast, and it is estimated that it will not come until tomorrow. But in Pingxiang County, when the lights first came on, the principals of various households came one after another.

Liu Xian went to notify the invitees in the name of Tian Feng, and he did so under the banner of discussing the return of their money and grain, so it was impossible for them not to come.

Liu Xian set up a banquet in the lobby of the restaurant, and asked Tian Feng to introduce the landlords and tyrants who came to him one by one.

Landlords and tyrants are landlords and tyrants, all of them have ruddy faces, which are completely different from ordinary people with vegetables. It can be seen that even in troubled times, for these landlords and tyrants, as long as they can survive, then they can live better than ordinary people.

Fat people are also those landlords and tyrants.

In Pingxiang County, Tian Feng had a total of more than 10 creditors, nine of whom came, and in addition, more than 10 or 20 were from some townships and towns outside the county seat. Far away certainly didn't come that fast, only five.

didn't send anyone in the county, in fact, he didn't plan to ask Tian Feng for the money and grain again, this Tian Feng talked to Liu Xian. After all, even the landlords and tyrants have good people, and those are willing to take out food to Tian Feng to relieve the people. He said that he didn't have to pay it back, but Tian Feng felt that he still had to record the money and food they took out.

Leave that alone for now.

Through Tian Feng's introduction, Liu Xian got to know the fourteen landlords and tyrants who came.

Naturally, they had all heard of Liu Xian of Liufu in Liulin Village, so when they learned that the young man who was with Tian Feng was Liu Xian, they were all extremely enthusiastic, and they were even a little deferential to Liu Xian.

No way, Liu Xian said, he is now also a person with status and a greater reputation. At least the identity of the clan relatives of the Han family, as well as the identity of the young master of the plain palace, have already made ordinary landlords and tyrants carefully accompanied.

And then the most important thing is that Liu Xian defeated tens of thousands of Black Mountain Yellow Turban troops in Liulin Village and Yangshi County not long ago, and they have all heard about it. In addition, this time he came to Pingxiang County, Liu Xian brought three or four hundred people, of which one hundred were cavalry.

This is a kind of strength, a kind of deterrence in strength.

Therefore, from beginning to end, Liu Xian occupies a dominant position.

Liu Xian was not stingy, set up a banquet to entertain them, and after three rounds of drinking, Liu Xian said to them directly: "You are all well-known figures in Pingxiang County, all squires, landlords, rich households, and big families. And you are all lucky to have escaped the devastation of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. However, this son thinks that you have not done a very good job this time. ”

Liu Xian said, taking out the contract that Tian Feng owed them money and grain.

Liu Xian picked up one of them casually and read: "On a certain day in a certain year, a certain month, Song Bao delivered a total of about 10,000 catties of grain, and at a price of 50 yuan per catty, it was transferred to Mr. Tian Feng for relief of the people of Pingxiang County. A total of 500,000 yuan was owed to Song Bao. ”

"Fifty wen a catty, look at this ...... again Well, it's seventy dollars. ”

Although Liu Xian had already said Tian Feng earlier, he still couldn't help but roll his eyes at Tian Feng again, and looked at the more than ten landlords and tyrants present with a mocking face.

"You really want money and don't want your life, Mr. Tian Feng asked you for food and borrowed food, in order to relieve the people who have run out of food, you still dare to open your mouth? Fortunately, you have met Mr. Tian Feng, an honest man, who honestly borrowed grain from you. If it had been replaced by someone else, or replaced by me Liu Xian, I am afraid that you would have already fallen to the ground. ”

"To be a man, you must have a heart and a conscience. The country is in a difficult situation, and this cannot be wanted. Liu Xian put all the IOUs on the table, and said to them neatly: "You don't know that the imperial court can actually directly requisition grain from you, right?" In terms of the laws of the Han Dynasty, everything you have, including your life, belongs to the emperor today. Is it normal for the imperial court to requisition grain from you? “

Liu Xian didn't bother to argue with them, and didn't wait for them to say anything, and said directly: "Mr. Tian Feng borrowed grain from you out of his personal behavior, what if the government levied grain from you?" Do you dare to ask the government for money at such a high price? In this way, the so-called debt repayment, borrowing melons to repay melons, borrowing beans to repay beans. Mr. Tian Feng borrowed grain from you, so you can repay as much grain as you borrow, so that you will not lose money. I will return this grain on behalf of Mr. Tian Feng, and within three years, I will deliver the grain to your house. What do you think? No comments, right? “

There are opinions, but who dares to have opinions?
