Chapter Twenty-Five: Unhappy Parting

"General Ding, this ......"

Ding Xiao's requirements were too harsh, and all the rich gentry couldn't help but look at Ding Yuan in unison.

"What I mean is what I mean." After Ding Yuan took a deep breath, he said with a tough attitude.

The position of his son Ding Xiao in his heart at this time is no longer what it used to be, even if he offends these squires of the world, he will not hesitate to do so.

"It's over......"

The faces of the rich gentry changed suddenly, and an ominous premonition arose in their hearts.

Ding Yuan obviously wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob, and wanted to take advantage of them and take away a lot of benefits, so he was willing to give up!

This time, some families may even hurt the roots, and they are afraid that they will have to lose their skin if they don't die.

"Haha, how can two thousand soldiers and horses quell the chaos?"

Ma Pu suddenly burst out laughing, using it to describe the embarrassing situation on the scene.

As the first family in Bingzhou, the Ma family has a lot of land and a wide range of land, and is also in charge of a lot of commercial and trade resources, including with the Xiongnu, there are also a lot of business contacts, which can be described as a big business. Even if Ding Yuan asks for more, the Ma family can afford it!

Coupled with the relationship between the Ma family and Ding Yuan, at this time, he naturally chose to stand on Ding Yuan's side.

"General Ding, you might as well make it clear, how far do we have to go so that you can be satisfied?"

"The specific number is up to Xiao'er." Now that the other party has made it clear, Ding Yuan will no longer hide it.

"Ding Gongzi, look ......" Ma Pu turned around and faced Ding Xiao.

"Well said."

Ding Xiao gave a junior salute to Ma Pu, and then bowed to everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to have long-term peace and stability, you must completely cut off the Baibo Army, and if you want to do this, we must be prepared for a protracted war!" ”

After a few polite words, he began to quote, "So, if each of you here can give 30,000 stone of grain, 1,000 taels of gold, or the equivalent of silver to boost the hearts of the army, I guarantee that my Ding family will completely destroy the Baibo army within half a year!" ”

Speaking of this, an apologetic smile appeared on his face, "This time, my Ding family is not a lion opening his mouth, it is really forced by the situation, and I can't do it, please forgive me!" ”

After he finished speaking, the audience was in an uproar.

"Thirty thousand stones? That's too much, right? ”

"Yes, just in time for our family's two-year harvest!"

"It's okay to say that there is so much food, I'm afraid my family won't be able to get it......"

With the chaos of war and natural disasters, food has become the most precious resource in this era, not to mention that some people can't take it, and even if they can, they can't give it up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to the younger generation."

Ding Xiao waved his hand to calm everyone down, and then said, "If you can come to this wedding banquet, it proves that you are all friends and confidants of my father, then I will tell you the truth, you will never spend this money and food in vain!" ”

Speaking of this, he pointed to his chest, raised his voice and promised, "I promise, no matter how chaotic the situation will be in the future, as long as my Ding family father and son are here for a day, your safety will definitely be guaranteed!" ”

Here, he has a subtext that he didn't say, that is, anyone who is willing to bet on the Ding family today will be taken care of by him in the future!

You know, his eyes are not limited to one state, but the whole world!

At that time, with the expansion of the Ding family's territory, whether it is low-level officials or businesses in various places, these families will be given priority.

After a pause, his words changed abruptly, "Of course, it's okay if you don't take the initiative to donate, within the boundaries of this state, there are more small and medium-sized families, and many families are willing to establish a good relationship with my Ding family!" I believe that with the support of my Ding family, a new great family will soon appear! ”

If Ding Xiao was polite in the previous words, then the last sentence is a naked threat!

His meaning is self-evident, that is, if you take the initiative to donate, then we will still be friends! But if you don't donate, I'm sorry, he'll find someone to replace him!

"Hiss......"

Everyone present gasped, but they didn't expect that the inconspicuous young master of the Ding family would be so domineering and not give them a way out at all!

Even Ding Yuan felt that Ding Xiao's matter was a bit desperate, but the matter had come to this point, and he couldn't refute his son in public, so he opened his mouth to persuade, "Well, everyone has been friends with Jianyang for many years, and Jianyang doesn't want everyone to end up like that, so it's best for everyone to do what Xiao'er said, so as not to hurt the harmony." ”

After a brief silence, several people, led by Ma Pu, nodded in agreement, but more people said that they would go home and discuss it before they could give an answer.

In this regard, Ding Xiao did not object.

He believes that when the situation becomes clear in the future, these people will definitely understand how to choose. But at that time, even if he was willing to accept the donations of these people, he would never reuse them.

In other words, once the day passes, these people are no longer qualified to enter the center of the Ding family's power, or even the core of power in the whole world.

was so stirred up by him, this wedding banquet could only end early, and it could be said that it was unhappy.

After everyone left, Ding Yuan left his son alone and asked the reason with a gloomy face.

"Xiao'er, what do you explain about today's incident?"

"Father, if we want to compete in the Central Plains in the future, 30,000 people are enough?" Ding Xiao asked with a smile.

"Chase the Central Plains?"

After Ding Yuan muttered, his eyes suddenly lit up, "You mean, you are going to subdue these White Wave Army?" So to raise military rations? ”

"It's not the time yet."

Ding Xiao shook his head and smiled, "However, some preliminary work can already be started." ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

Seeing Ding Yuan's puzzled face, Ding Xiao expressed his worries about the ownership of the surrendered army, and then said his countermeasures, "...... Therefore, we have to send someone to secretly contact Yang Feng now, but the rhythm must be controlled well, not too fast! In addition, on the surface, we still have to make efforts to clear the appearance of the White Polish Army in order to reassure the people. ”

“…… So complicated? ”

Ding Yuan's march and battle were okay, but when it came to strategy, he basically didn't know anything, and couldn't help frowning, "Then who do you think is appropriate?" ”

"The child has already said before, Xu Huang can go!"

Ding Xiao laughed.

Xu Huang was able to write and martial arts, and in history, it was Yang Feng who recruited Xu Huang, which proved that there was a certain causal relationship between the two people, and he felt that sending Xu Huang to carry out this task would have a much better success rate than others.

"What about the soldiers and horses? How much do you need? Ding Yuan asked again.

"Let's just make a show, there are more people and more waste, and if there are fewer people, it is easy to be recognized, I think five thousand is not too much and no less, just right!" Ding Xiao analyzed.

"Good! That's it. ”

Ding Yuan made a decision on the spot.

He suddenly felt that with a resourceful son by his side to give advice, the pressure on his shoulders was much lighter.

"Okay, the kid will go and pass Xu Huang over and discuss the details of this matter together!"

Ding Xiao clenched his fists with some excitement and left the room quickly.
