Chapter 379: New City Rules!
Speaking of this, I saw Lu Chen take out a piece of paper from his cuff, and there were a lot of things written on it. Burn? Wen Xiao? What is the reason for saying ?.? r?a?n?? e?n?`org
"First of all, those firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, this kind of shops that are necessary for life, will be jointly managed by your four major families and my city lord's mansion in the future. As for the other clothes and shoes stores, let the four of you manage them together. However, in order to prevent you from monopolizing and driving up prices, we need to set a price range. Everything has to be sold within the price range. ”
Although the four major families didn't know what price gouging was, they still understood the meaning behind it, which was nothing more than what was sold, and the price should not be too high.
Seeing that there was only this, the four family heads nodded without hesitation. Although there are many stores that they jointly manage, this is enough for the four major families. After all, in addition to those necessities, there are many shops that can be managed by themselves. The four heads of the family seem to see the future, the prosperity of their family. ”
However, just when the heads of these four major families were thinking about it. But I heard Lu Chen say again: "The previous promises, now Lu has fulfilled them one by one." Next, Lu is going to announce a new city rule."
Hearing this, the four family heads all looked at Lu Chen with puzzled expressions on their faces. But seeing that Lu Chen first glanced at the four of them with a smile, he said slowly, "From today on, the big and small families in Luzhou City are not allowed to have private soldiers. The number of guards stationed in the family mansion shall not exceed five hundred. Those who violate the order will be deprived of their family shops, and if they insist on not abiding by the city rules, their family property can be confiscated until the nine clans are exterminated! ”
Hearing Lu Chen's announcement of the new regulations, the heads of the four major families suddenly couldn't sit still, and hurriedly got up one by one and asked Lu Chen, "General Lu, you can't do this!" This is equivalent to cutting off the survival guarantee of our family. Please take back your life! ”
Hearing this, the smile on Lu Chen's face suddenly dissipated, and he said very seriously, "I am ordering this, not discussing with you, I hope you can understand!" ”
Seeing that Lu Chen was really moving, the four family heads suddenly didn't dare to make a sound. However, thinking of the new city rules that Lu Chen had just half promulgated, the four family heads suddenly felt that the future of the family was very gloomy. If the four of them really abide by this regulation, I'm afraid that Lu Chen will be able to deal with them at any time in the future.
With great wealth and no corresponding military force to protect them, they are a flock of fat sheep to be slaughtered.
Seeing that these four family heads were reluctant to agree, Lu Chen spoke up again, "Okay, for the sake of supporting me before your four major families, I will grant each of your four major families eight hundred guards." This is already the limit, if you are still unwilling, then Lu will not be able to do anything."
After hearing Lu Chen's words, the four family heads reluctantly bowed their hands to Lu Chen, and said, "Thank you city lord, we must abide by the rules of the new city!" They naturally heard the meaning of Lu Chen's last sentence. This is Lu Chen's last concession, if the four family heads still have to make inches, when the time comes, I am afraid that even their own family will have to take in.
Hearing this, Lu Chen nodded with great satisfaction, and said, "Since the four of you have no opinions, then when the new city rules are promulgated, please support the new city rules at that time, Lu is afraid that some families in the city will be unwilling at that time."
Hearing this, the four heads of the family immediately assured, "Please rest assured that as long as we are here, absolutely no family will disturb the general because of this matter" From now on, the big families in Luzhou City will probably be headed by the four of them. In such a situation, I am afraid that no family will dare to go against their will again.
After seeing that all the heads of the four major families expressed their positions, Lu Chen gave up his hand with satisfaction, "Then there are four heads of the family, and the construction of Luzhou City in the future will depend on your assistance."
Hearing this, the four family masters immediately returned the salute and said, "The city lord is polite, and we will definitely do my best to assist the city lord in the future."
After some politeness, Lu Chen let the four family heads go back.
After the four family masters walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, Lu Chen sneered. Although these families chose themselves later, before he attacked Luzhou City, these families were also not happy. If it weren't for Lu Chen's plan to let the bombers blow up the city gate with bombs after approaching the city, I'm afraid that the four families would not choose to support themselves.
What these big families value is nothing more than profit. However, now Lu Chen has limited the private army of these four major families to 800 people, which can be regarded as completely abolishing their hole cards. Even if the four major families were secretly cultivating forces, as long as there were no forces in the city that could confront him, Lu Chen would not be afraid.
If these four families really have any small moves in the future, Lu Chen just had an excuse to exterminate them.
At this time, the two family heads next to him, who had returned to Lu Chen, came to Lu Chen's side tremblingly, and said very respectfully, "Lord City Lord, what do you want to do with our family?" ”
The conversation between Lu Chen and these four major families just now, the two of them could see it clearly. Since even the four major families that supported Lu Chen, the private soldiers were reduced to eight hundred, how would Lu Chen treat the two families who chose to surrender at the end of the battle?
Thinking about the scene where Lu Chen had a conversation with the four major families before, the two family heads couldn't help but feel nervous in their hearts.
Lu Chen looked at the two obedient family masters in front of him, and smiled kindly, "You don't have to be so nervous, since you have taken refuge in me, then we will be a family in the future." Therefore, from this day forward, all the property and shops of your two families, including the clansmen, will be under the jurisdiction of the City Lord's Mansion! ”
Hearing Lu Chen's words, the two of them didn't react for a while, and stared at Lu Chen in a daze. This... It's too straightforward!
The two of them thought about many kinds of conditions that Lu Chen might propose, such as confiscating most of their family's property and shops, or how many years their family would serve the City Lord's Mansion. However, they couldn't have imagined that Lu Chen would directly ask them for the management of the family.
This made them hesitate a little, if they really handed over the management of the family to Lu Chen, at that time, their family would exist in name only, and even the name would not even exist.
Seeing the hesitant looks of the two family heads, Lu Chen sneered, "What, do you still have opinions?" Don't forget how you promised me in the first place! ”
Hearing Lu Chen's words, and remembering the scene when they begged for mercy before, the two family heads immediately said, "Don't dare, don't dare!" We must obey the lord's commands!" ”
