Chapter 31 Rushing for Food

"Master, I can't learn this method, you didn't say it, the method of closing is a small law, it is only useful when the world is in chaos and has not collapsed, and when the world collapses, this method of closing is useless, only the strategy to control people can achieve a career, I have mastered it now, just wait for the world to collapse."

Fu Jian said confidently.

"Hehe, Jian'er, you're right, but......... If thirty years ago, with your ability to create a great career, it would be easy to become a prince, much stronger than that Zhang Yi......... But today, the princes of Qin, Tang, Qing, Wei, Wu, Shu and Gesar in Tibet, these seven princes are extraordinary, and they are the assets of the masters of the people in any era in history, but now they are all gathered together, it is simply unimaginable......... This is the dawn of heroes, everyone is like the sun shining in the world, but this is also an era of heroic twilight, because there is no other day, only one can win in the end, I teach you the art of scheming and the way to control people, just want you to survive in this era, not easily driven by others, but not want you to compete with those people for the world. ”

The old man said that there was a gloom on his face.

"Master, you're here again, how can you be worthy of yourself if you can't do a vigorous job as a husband? Besides, I'm your apprentice! Will your apprentice be disgraced? ”

"It seems that your straightforward personality can't be changed, but you are still young after all, and you may know how to advance and retreat after some experience."

The old man put his hand on the other's forehead.

"By the way, Jian'er, Liu Yuan is treacherous, Daqin will not rest assured that these five thousand green horses, he will definitely send a powerful person to negotiate, who will they send?"

"Master, you are really clever, I heard that it was Sima Wrong, this guy is now a pawn of Daqin, and he is in a high position, and he came in person to give Liu Yuan the face of this villain."

"Sima Coo, he came in person?"

The old man's face was slightly stunned.

Fu Jian saw the change in the teacher's expression and immediately asked, "Teacher, do you know this Sima mistake?" ”

"This Sima has read all the history books since he was a child and is well-read and memorized, but there is no emergency change, such a person is suitable to become a historian, leaving words for future generations to study and figure out, and at that time he will definitely go down in history, but he is not willing to do this, he always wants to become a figure like Zhang Yi and Su Qin, those who can do it can achieve great things, and those who can't do it will suffer from it!"

The old man obviously knew a lot about this Sima Cuo.

"Master, there was no grain in the great drought of Great Qin back then, and the three kings of the north joined forces to fight against Great Qin, if it weren't for Sima Cuo's three-inch tongue to borrow food from Jiangdong Dawu, I'm afraid that Great Qin wouldn't be able to survive that crisis, I'm afraid this person's ability is stronger than what you said."

"Jian'er, you only know one and don't know the other, Dawu is located in Jiangdong, where the culture is the richest place, the people know the book, Sun Quan is even more hand-picked, Sima Cuo is proficient in history books can be said to be his favorite, so he borrowed the grain and grass to resolve the crisis of Daqin, he was reused by the King of Qin by virtue of this opportunity, but he didn't know that it was harming himself, this person is afraid that he will not die well in the future!"

The old man sighed, quite sorry.

Just when Fu Jian and his master were commenting on the heroes of the world in the wooden house, there were already chickens and dogs jumping in Tianshui County.

As soon as the day dawned, notices were plastered all over the city: Anyone who had food in his house must buy it from the government within five hours, and if there was resistance, it would be dealt with according to military law, and all food would be confiscated.

As soon as this notice came out, everyone was surprised, it is already November, the farmer in the field has harvested, and the grain left after each household pays the tax grain is the winter ration, and these grains will stick to April of the next year, if all are handed over, then how will these five months be passed? Even if the official family says it's buying, the money is good, but it can't be eaten! No amount of money is useless without life.

"What is Liu Taishou going to do?"

Everyone in the city began to stir, and even many people began to secretly transport grain outside the city, but Liu Yuan had already prepared, hundreds of soldiers guarded the gates of each city, and once they found that someone was smuggling food out, they would immediately confiscate it, and they would not even give a penny.

"What? Is there such a thing? ”

More than a dozen tenant farmers came to Liu Yuetian's residence and told him about it.

"Your Highness, we people don't have extra food, if it weren't for the rations you gave us, we wouldn't be able to survive this winter, you have to be the master for us!"

These people wept and wept with a look of despair on their faces.

Liu Yuetian was extremely angry, and came outside with the guards, only to see a group of people surrounded by a corner of the city wall, looking up at the white silk notices posted on the wall one by one, and sure enough, it was as those people said.

"Is this really unreasonable, this still doesn't let the people live?"

Liu Yuetian was furious.

"Your Highness, it's Your Highness! Your Highness, you have to save us! ”

As if they had seen a savior, they fell to their knees and pleaded.

"Don't worry, I can't control others, you are all my tenant farmers now, and you don't care about him Liu Yuan, I don't believe they really dare to do this?"

Five hours passed quickly, during this time few peasant households bought grain to the government, they felt that there were many people, if Liu Yuan forcibly robbed the grain would cause a popular uprising, I am afraid that the matter would not be resolved, but where can their lives be compared with the five thousand war horses, it will be late, thousands of soldiers with torches began to search the streets door to door, all those who have food will be confiscated on the spot, and the men in the family will be arrested and sent to prison.

"What are you going to do? How can we live without food! ”

"My family is old and young, aren't you afraid of being punished by heaven if you do this?"

The shouts and cries in the city came and went, and even more people wanted to pick up a hoe to resist, but where were they the opponents of the soldiers? In a few moments, he was captured by the soldiers and taken to the ground.

"This Liu Yuan is really domineering, he really doesn't take the lives of the farmers in the city seriously!"

Liu Yuetian stood outside with the guards, and when he heard the crying sound that came, he was simply angry, and he had already learned from Shi Le's mouth earlier that this move was caused by the Great Qin envoy Sima Cuo, and five thousand green horses were exchanged for twenty-five stone of grain, Liu Yuan was unwilling to go out by himself, so he could only buy it in the hands of the common people.

The lives of poor peasants in troubled times are really as thin as paper, and he must not sit idly by and watch this matter.

Soon, more than 100 soldiers rode horses to Liu Yuetian's vicinity, and then dismounted and were about to rush into the tenant farmers' houses.

"What are you going to do?"

Zhang Xingsan shouted, raised the steel knife in his hand and greeted him.

"Your Highness, my family has already issued a notice in the morning for the farmers to hand over the grain, and now we are here to collect the grain!"

The other party didn't take Liu Yuetian in his eyes at all.

"Collecting grain? Liu Yuan is too shou, right, according to the law of the Great Zhou, I am the king of Tianshui County here, these people are now my tenant farmers, and they have nothing to do with Liu Yuan, and he Liu Yuan is not qualified to come to me to collect grain. ”

Liu Yuetian stood on the spot without fear.
