Chapter 423: Conditions for Moving into Yizhou
Seeing that all the bigwigs in the rivers and lakes had not moved, Liu He smiled and said to Zhou Lao: "Zhou Lao, you are the first person in the rivers and lakes, it seems that you don't sit down, they are embarrassed to sit." ”
Zhou Lao thought about it, and then sat down in his seat according to the original seat.
Liu He raised his head, looked at the Jin gang leader who was still sitting on the ground, and said in a calm tone: "The Jin gang leader is the leader of the largest gang in the world, at this time, don't you come out to make a statement?" ”
The Jin gang leader was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly wanted to get up from the ground, but several subordinates stepped forward to help, but he pushed him away, and after he struggled to stand up, he walked back to his seat and sat down, but he never said a word again.
With the example of Zhou Lao, the first person in the rivers and lakes, and the leader of the world's largest gang, the others also hurriedly sat down, and the leaders of the thirty-six major gangs and seventy-two major factions, except for Hu Yao, the leader of the Tianying Gang, who was lying on the ground, were all present.
Liu He glanced at everyone, but smiled, "Let me say something, don't like to listen to it, you are all old rivers and lakes, how can you fall for Cao Cao?" ”
"What did the little ancestor say?" Some of the gang leaders couldn't sit still.
Liu He pointed to the Chen family's mansion behind him, "Where is this, this is the largest family in the rivers and lakes, what is Cao Cao asking you to exterminate the Chen family, don't you understand?" Without the Chen family, which gang and faction of you can stand up for this martial arts? Who of you would dare to stand up? Cao Cao promised that after you exterminate the Chen family, he would not attack you, and he dared to move even the largest family in the rivers and lakes, why did you believe that he would not move you? ”
Zhou Lao thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Little Ancestor's words are very reasonable, but if we disobey Cao Cao, I am afraid that even if the Old Ancestor of the Chen family comes forward, it will be difficult to protect everyone present." ”
Liu He deliberately paused for a while, and waited until everyone's eyes were focused on him, and then he slowly spoke: "This is exactly what I want to say next, most of your main altars are in Cao Cao's territory, and the 300,000 defenders of Yuzhou can step on the rivers and lakes at any time, even if it is a big gang like the Money Gang, it is difficult to protect itself." I'm showing you the way now, but I'm afraid you're a little reluctant to give up your own territory. ”
The Jin gang leader slowly stood up, hugged his fists and said: "If the little ancestor has anything to say, just say it clearly, don't hide it, if you fail to follow Cao Cao's wishes this time, we will all be unable to escape death, since the little ancestor has a way, you might as well say it, if it is really a clear road, I Jin someone will be the first to listen to the little ancestor." ”
Liu He said with a smile: "The Jin Gang Leader really understands the righteousness, since the Jin Gang Leader has said this, I will also say it directly." Your top priority now is to move the main altar out of Yuzhou, so as to get rid of Cao Cao's grasp, as long as your general altar is not on Cao Cao's territory, he has no way to take you, let alone attack you. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, and after a while, several gangsters stood up and put forward their own opinions and doubts.
Although there are slight differences in what they say, they all have the same question, that is, where exactly the main altar is going to be moved.
Jianghu people, Jianghu affairs, for many years, the two most sensitive words in the rivers and lakes are rules and territory.
The rules are good to say, it's a big deal to follow the local customs, and a slight change is, anyway, it will never deviate from its roots.
But what about the territory, the relocation of the main altar to other places, how the local gangs and sects should treat them as outsiders, and how they should coexist with the locals, these are all problems.
After listening to the gossip of the bigwigs, Liu He smiled faintly and said confidently: "Don't worry, I have already said hello to Liu Yizhou in this matter." You will move all the main altars into Yizhou, Yizhou is vast and sparsely populated, and there will be no place for you to settle down, but the oil and water may be less than that of the Central Plains. ”
The leader of the Jin gang said loudly: "Speaking of this idea of making money, no gang in the world can compare to our money gang, but compared with money, life is still important, this truth, everyone here understands." It's just that I still have something to ask the little ancestor, if we go to Yizhou, this place ......"
Liu He smiled knowingly, "I have already thought about this matter for all of you." You are all well-known figures in the rivers and lakes, and you will not fight and kill for the sake of territory in the future. According to today's seat, they choose their respective sites, and the main altar is located in the city of Chengdu. Every three years, we organize a competition, arrange the seats again according to the ranking of the competition, and re-divide the ownership of the territory according to the seats. There are two advantages to doing this, one is that there will be no casualties between the gangs and factions because of the competition for territory, and the other is that the competition once every three years is bound to attract the attention of all the people in Yizhou. ”
The Jin Gang Master was overjoyed when he heard this, "If it is really as good as the little ancestor said, then we don't have to waste time thinking about it, but how do I listen to it, it's a bit like pie in the sky." ”
Liu He smiled: "There are bigger pies waiting for you!" I have already negotiated with Liu Yizhou, all your gangs and sects will be exempted from taxes in Yizhou that year, and they will be reduced by half every year after that. ”
Hearing this, all the bigwigs in the rivers and lakes got up and bowed, and said in unison: "Thank you, little ancestor!" ”
Liu He waved his hand, motioned for everyone to sit down, and said with a straight face: "Don't be busy thanking me first, in addition to these benefits, I have another condition." ”
Zhou Lao said loudly: "Little ancestor, please speak, with so many benefits before, it is easy to say any conditions." ”
Liu He paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "If there is a war, all of your gangs and factions will contribute people, can you agree to this condition?" ”
As Liu He expected, as soon as this sentence came out, all the bigwigs in front of him were silent, and no one said anything.
Zhou Lao thought for a while, turned to those gangsters and said, "Everyone, Xiao Lao'er has no gang or faction, and he has no disciples under him, so I will say a few fair words here today." The condition of the little ancestor does sound a little difficult at first glance, no one wants to let his disciples go to the battlefield to die, but the big guy has never thought about it, over the years, how many casualties have we caused by fighting each other for territory? We went to Yizhou, not only will there be no more battles for turf, but also tax reduction, this account is calculated, send some people to support the war on the front line, no matter how it is cost-effective. Besides, if Yizhou can't be saved, then our good days that have just arrived are coming to an end, if Cao Cao occupies Yizhou, then everyone here, I don't think any of them can escape the catastrophe, which is more important, and I hope you will think about it. ”
