Chapter 360: The time is ripe

After repeating this, what little courage the officials and people had left finally disappeared, and the crowd began to slowly move back.

Li Zongming's face was pale, and his three-inch green beard under his chin trembled slightly, trying to support Sima's face and dignity, but he secretly examined in his heart, this method of using the people's will to persecute Wang Junlin was probably used by the wrong person.

He didn't know that if he was a native of this era, he would naturally be extremely famous, and he would be pointed out by Wanfu, vomiting blood in anger and committing suicide at worst, but looking at Wang Junlin at this time, his mood was not affected at all.

What has happened to this young man in his twenties, who is so strong-willed......

Wang Junlin stared at Li Zongming, smiled faintly, and said: "Li Sima, why don't you come in, let's talk, maybe under Li Sima's persuasion, it is not impossible for Benhou to commit suicide and apologize." ”

Li Zongming was overjoyed when he heard this, but he looked at the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion who were still murderous in the door, and the sharp arrows that emitted a cold and cold light on the bowstring, and then looked at Wang Junlin's respectful and gentle smile on his face, Li Zongming's heart was cold, and he realized that Wang Junlin was playing with him, and at the same time he was angry in his heart, like the officials and people just now, he couldn't take this step.

"This official, this official...... Hum! Li Zongming flicked the sleeves of his robe and turned to leave.

As soon as Li Zongming left, the remaining officials who had been holding on to it were like being amnestied, and they hurriedly followed Li Zongming and left, and today's so-called righteous action to arrest the culprits who caused the snow disaster finally became a farce.

Wang Junlin stared at the backs of Li Zongming and the others, and said, "When will the grain of those nobles and big landlords arrive?" ”

Shen Guang next to him immediately said: "Back to the Hou Ye, in two days at most, all the grain will be sent outside Jincheng." ”

The turmoil subsided temporarily, and Wang Junlin forcibly suppressed the case in an extremely arrogant and domineering way. However, this method fell behind after all, and at that time, Wang Junlin was also forced to be helpless, but if there was a more gentle method, he would not choose to use this domineering and vicious method to eliminate the disaster.

"At the end of today, people will be sent out of the camp to buy grain, but they returned empty-handed, the merchants in the east and west cities of the city are unwilling to sell grain to us, and the officials and people in the city are quite resentful, the people who go out of the yamen are scolded everywhere, and the wine shop does not sell wine to us...... Master Hou, looking at this posture, they want to isolate us. Yang Hushi said cautiously beside him.

Wang Junlin was stunned for a long time, and sighed with a wry smile: "The Li clan in Longxi is really powerful in Yongzhou, but if you can cover the sky with one hand, I don't believe it......"

"Master Hou, I was ordered by Lord Shi to assassinate Shi before, and there are ten days of food left in our army, and the food in the barracks at the moment can only last for three days, if you can't buy any more food, the 30,000 troops in Jincheng will run out of food in three days. It's better to use that Li Fengmu to threaten the Li clan in Longxi. Yang Hushi said with a bitter face.

Food is the foundation of everything, whether it is the will of the people or the army, sufficient food can hold them in the palm of the hand, especially in the current disaster situation, food is particularly precious.

I have to say that the Li clan in Longxi has grasped the key point, but Wang Junlin doesn't want to take Li Fengmu out at this time as a weight in the secret fight with the Li clan in Longxi.

Although Wang Junlin is powerful, if there is no food, the army of 30,000 state capitals he has just controlled is a toothless tiger, and he can't jump up. It has been recorded in countless historical facts that no matter how loyal and invincible an army is, as long as it runs out of food, they will become the most terrible demons.

Wang Junlin dared to reveal his identity, and the arrogant and domineering capital was all under his control of the 30,000 state capital army, but if the state capital army collapsed and collapsed due to food, no matter how powerful Wang Junlin was, he was only one person, and it was a big deal to completely erase it from this world in the most primitive way.

Li Zongming's abacus is very fine, and from common sense, it is indeed feasible.

"Summoning the large and small shops in the city, who dares to sell grain to the chief yamen and the army of the state capital, don't blame the official for being polite!" Li Zongming stroked his beard and said in a deep voice.

Dong Bo nodded: "The soldiers in the government will also pay attention, if someone does not sell grain to the chief manager yamen, the last general will chop up his whole family first, but the lower officials are worried that Wang Junlin ordered the army to grab food." ”

Li Zongming squinted his eyes and smiled: "Hahaha, what this official is waiting for is for him to give this kind of order, but it's a pity that Wang Junlin won't be so stupid." ”

……

……

Two days later, early in the morning, at midnight.

The sun had just risen from the east, and the fiery red ball hung lazily on the horizon east of the desert with a bit of laziness, rising slowly and unwillingly.

Outside the southern city of Jincheng, those nobles and landlords finally delivered the grain.

The grain taken out by nearly 100 nobles and large landowners added up to 100,000 stones, which was enough for 100,000 victims to eat for three months. However, Wang Junlin has a bottom line, and the bottom line is that the grain must be returned, and the process of borrowing grain can be ruthless, but the grain cannot be repaid.

This was a promise made by King King's Landing to all the landlords and nobles.

Wang Junlin knows very well in his heart that everyone is not a saint, including Wang Junlin, he is full of money, and when it overflows, the part that overflows can be selflessly dedicated.

This is not selfishness, but human nature, the humanity of the vast majority of people in the world, can be dedicated, but never all of it, half of it must be considered.

Therefore, Wang Junlin first forced them to take out the grain with life and death, and then took out the deed to give them enough confidence to borrow grain in the name of the government, and never worried that they would repay the debt.

Of course, Wang Junlin can't be the master, but Wang Tong can, Wang Junlin has already made the decision for Wang Tong without Wang Tong's consent, and the reason why this is so is that he wants to see what Wang will do after informing the people of Yongzhou that the crisis is resolved.

100,000 stone of grain, it can be said that Wang Junlin has collected all the nearly semi-hidden grain in Yongzhou, and no longer has to worry about the refugees making a big mess when the official warehouse is empty in a few days.

Wang Junlin got the news in advance that the grain could be delivered early this morning, so he sent people to set up a stand outside the south city gate early in the morning, and then gathered all the people in the city and the victims outside the city under this stand.
