Chapter 715: Loyalty

Zhuge Liang, who was in Nanban, didn't know that Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, the two black goods, threw a troublesome gift package to him, and at this time he was dealing with the task of transferring the population arranged by Yuan Shu.

The situation in the southwestern countries is extremely complicated, and the situation between the various families is even more intertwined. Often a small country or tribe is secretly controlled by several families, not because they do not control the power of a country alone, but to avoid risks, but also to unite together in the future and strengthen their own power.

After all, not all families have a family background like the Xun family and the Lu family. For these small families, who occupy the majority, although it is simple to control a small country, it is meaningless, the strength of the small country is too weak, if the families attack and merge with each other in the future, how can they resist? Only by hugging together can we have the power of self-preservation, and only by hugging together can we better mobilize resources.

Ten small countries and one large country, if the territory and population are almost the same, the latter can produce several times more national strength than the former. It is inevitable that the centralized utilization and mobilization of resources can greatly expand production.

But because of this, the situation in the southwestern countries is becoming more and more complicated. Just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the princes of various countries were related by marriage, and the mother of the monarch of Qin was the sister of the monarch of Chu. The interests involved in requisitioning civilians from within small states and tribes are enormous.

Zhuge Liang didn't have time to argue with the families on these details, he didn't choose to start from various countries, but found various families.

"I think you all know that Cao Cao has been defeated, my lord has captured Qingzhou and Xuzhou, the general trend of the world has basically been laid, and what you expect is not far away. But now Qingzhou is extremely empty because of the war, and it needs to call a large number of people, and now it needs your help. ”

Looking at the heads or spokespersons of the various families gathered here under his own notice, Zhuge Liang, who has always been calm, couldn't help but feel a trace of irrepressible excitement in his heart, took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed this feeling, Zhuge Liang said calmly.

"Your Majesty has any needs, we will volunteer to serve, and please make it clear to your lordship." Lu Kang, the head of the Lu family, stood up from his seat on crutches, coughed lightly and said directly.

He represents the attitude of all the families present. Although the people here are all in charge of the world's top families, they really don't dare to be presumptuous in front of Zhuge Liang, a nine-grade petty official.

Speaking from a closer look, the southwestern countries are now under the control of Zhuge Liang, and even these people have to look up to their noses. Zhuge Liang may not be able to directly sanction them, but when he is in the middle of the referee, he is slightly biased towards one or two, which is enough to make them hurt their muscles and bones. And with Zhuge Liang's intelligence, how can he not make full use of this method when he is now in control of the general trend?

In the long run, they don't want to offend Zhuge Liang, the future ruler of the country. After all, whether they can get their wish in the future depends on the attitude of Yuan Shu and Zhuge Liang.

Yuan Shu is reluctant to deal with the family now, because it will hurt his muscles and bones, and the gains outweigh the losses, but this does not mean that Yuan Shu cannot control the family. On the contrary, the current family is simply obedient to Yuan Shu, because Yuan Shu will not deal with them as a whole, but it is still very easy to deal with some of them.

As far as the fact that the families will go out after the unification of the world in the future, Yuan Shu will cross out a small number of candidates from it, and the other families will definitely not unite with this part of the people to harden Yuan Shu, and they will definitely gloat and fall into the well. With some competitors missing, it's too late for him to be happy. It is precisely because the families have this kind of self-knowledge that they have no intention of resisting Yuan Shu.

"Everyone here is the person in charge of each family, and I won't say much about some nonsense. This time, His Majesty asked me to transfer a minimum of 200,000 young men from the southwestern countries to Qingzhou, and now the situation in the southwestern countries is complicated, and I am not able to assign specific ones. Therefore, I can only trouble all the heads of the family here. You know each other best, and you can decide for yourself how to distribute the 200,000 young people, but I can only give you two days. Two days later, the specific indicators assigned to each family had to be agreed upon and sent to me. Zhuge Liang said unceremoniously.

Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, the faces of the heads of the families below were different, and some of them discussed in groups, while smart people like Lu Kang, who had been prepared, sat in place and stood still.

Zhuge Liang didn't care, gently shook the feather fan in his hand, and waited quietly. Soon, the chatter in the audience gradually subsided.

"Do you have any questions?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"Do you only need 200,000 young people?" Not surprisingly, it was Lu Kang who spoke first.

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "Naturally, the more the merrier." ”

For smart people, there is no need to say much. As soon as Zhuge Liang said this, everyone present understood the meaning of this sentence, and it was time to show loyalty again.

"My Kuai family is willing to have more than 5,000 young people!" Almost as soon as Zhuge Liang's words fell, the person in charge of the Kuai family immediately stood up and said loudly.

As soon as his words fell, Qin Mi, the head of the Qin family, also reflected, his heart was crossed, he gritted his teeth and stood up and said loudly: "My Qin family has ten thousand!" ”

Last time, Yuan Shu chose the top ten families to exclude his Qin family, which made him regret it to this day, and now that this choice has appeared, he will naturally not repeat the same mistakes. If they don't show their loyalty, their Qin family may fall out of the first-class family.

The thoughts of everyone present were similar to Qin Mi's. Let the kings know that they are not really losing, but they are making a lot of money, and what they invest today will definitely be multiplied in the future. However, they were still taken aback by Qin Mi's move, 10,000 young and strong, Qin Mi is really generous! This is unimaginable in some small families, although it can be taken out, but it will definitely hurt its vitality.

Seeing the surprised and shocked eyes of everyone present, Qin Mi straightened his waist, and breathed a sigh of relief while his heart ached, finally showing the prestige of the Qin family. Especially when he saw Zhuge Liang's approving gaze, he became more and more happy in his heart, this wave is not a loss.

In the midst of the present, the Qin family has this confidence. Yizhou is the closest place to the southwestern countries, and it is also the core of the trade with the southwestern countries. Among the families present, if it comes to strength, the Qin family may not be ranked in the top five, but when it comes to the power and population of the southwestern countries, there is really no one in the Qin family who can compare.

After operating in Yizhou for so many years, how could he not think about the southwestern countries? In the past, he looked down on these barbarian countries, and secretly contacted them just to control Yizhou. However, this backhand was not used in the rebellion, but now it has played a miraculous effect that makes the Qin family extremely excited, allowing them to occupy an absolute lead.

But taking the lead is not a peace of mind, so many families are staring at this piece of fat. Qin Mi had already been forced to give up a lot of benefits, so he urgently needed the support of Da Chu. Otherwise, if he falls out of a first-class family, then he will completely become a piece of fat in the eyes of many families.
