Cai Yan looked solemn and said, "Although we are women, we must also help our husband as much as possible." I was going to see my father and try to persuade the rich men of the city to help him. ”

Cai Yan Bingxue is smart and knows that although ordinary people have no surplus food, large families have a lot of surplus food, and they can get through the crisis if they take it out.

"My husband suffers for us, our hearts ache, but we don't know how to help my husband, we all listen to my sister."

"Then please see my father, take out the family's food, and help my husband."

"Sister, tell me." Fu Shou and the Zhen sisters said one after another.

At this time, outside, Qin Feng was appeasing the people, and he would definitely try his best to get through this crisis.

The people trust Qin Feng, and they can stand up without eating a few meals. However, some people came out and said, "My lord, the big families in the city are unwilling to take out food to help each other. Now the lord has no food, but they still have a lot of food in their house. ”

"This matter will be considered by the Hou, and the villagers will always find a way if they persist."

The people trusted Qin Feng, endured hunger, and gradually dispersed.

Qin Feng's heart became even more difficult. If one meal can be endured, but if ten meals are not eaten, how can the people endure it? In a famine, cannibalism can happen, but what can't happen?

"The rich in the city ......." Qin Feng thought about it.

The rich families in the city refer to the big families of the scholars. History records that Lu Su's family is a big family, and there are two hoards of grain at home, and one hoard of grain is pointed out, and Sun Cejun's food problem is solved. Yecheng is prosperous, and there are many large households, which are many larger than those in Lusu.

Xun Yu was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Lord, food is the bottom line of the city sergeant clan, they will not take out food easily, if they are in a hurry." Each family has hundreds of armed soldiers, and if there is chaos, Lu Bu will definitely take the opportunity to attack the city ....... ”

The nobles are all soil emperors, and they have armed families, that is, private soldiers, to control the land. Emperor Guangwu was able to establish the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, he was supported by Haoqiang, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from each family gathered together to get the world for Emperor Guangwu, and they also obtained more privileges and more powerful forces.

And Qin Feng was new to Jizhou, and he did not have time to reform the local scholars. He has full confidence in collecting the grain of the powerful people of the Shi clan, and it is easy to kill a chicken and dog without leaving it. But we can't ignore the Lu Bu army outside the city, Qin Feng suppressed the warrior clan internally, and he couldn't go outside, but was attacked internally and externally.

Qin Feng hesitated because of this and went home gloomily.

As soon as he got back to his house, he heard a voice coming from the open door.

"Donate money and food, and go back immediately to gather those old guys. Don't just talk to me all day long, it's time to take action. The old man Zhen Yi said arrogantly.

"It makes sense, I'll write an essay when I go back, scolding Yuan Benchu, a rabbit cub. The face of the fourth and third princes was lost by him alone. "Cai Yong is old-fashioned.

After speaking, the two of them finished watching the ambush, and after the ambush, the white eyebrows jumped wildly, "I wrote another essay and donated money and food." ”

So, the old men took action. When I went out, I saw Qin Feng.

When the old men saw their children, they immediately surrounded them, and Zhen Yi said: "Don't worry, son-in-law, you can't come forward, I'll tell them." They want to give me face. ”

Cai Yong followed and said: "The old man is also out of the way, if anyone doesn't contribute, the old man will write it in the text, pass it to the Confucian scholars all over the world, and show their faces well." "Cai Yong is a Confucian in the world, and this is very hard to say.

"Son-in-law, we all support you, and I will bring you all the food at home when I go back." Fu Wan patted his chest and said.

Qin Feng's heart was warm for a while.

Xun Yu and Xu Shu, who had been frowning, glanced at each other, they didn't expect the lord's father-in-law to be so open-minded. With them coming forward, it would be much better than Qin Feng coming forward in person. In fact, the fathers-in-law are not enlightened at all, but "very selfish". They treat their filial son-in-law as if they were sons, and when their sons are in trouble, they will help them even if they risk their lives. If it were someone else, they would not help them.

The three fathers-in-law have a clear division of labor, Cai Yong and Fu Wan are the old-timers of the Shi family, and they are in charge of the big families of the Shi family. Zhen Yi is a big businessman, and he is in charge of the businessman in the city.

Yecheng is rich, and there are many wealthy households, which are not under Luoyang back then.

Early the next morning, all the merchants in the city came to Zhen Yi's mansion.

Zhen Yi got up early in the morning and held a "charity cocktail party", and when the businessmen heard that they were going to donate, they suddenly stopped moving. Businessmen are heavy on profits, Zhen Yi knows that there is no benefit, it is really difficult to impress them, so he said: "My son-in-law attaches the most importance to the development of business, and it can be seen that when he was in charge of Luoyang, the businessmen were prosperous. If you contribute today, the first-level agency of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce in my hands will be indispensable to your second-level agent. ”

The merchants suddenly came to their senses, and for them, the rise of the Zhen family was like a legend. The Zhen family was just a businessman in the middle of the stream at the beginning, and the reason why they quickly became rich in the world was because they got the agency of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce. At that time, the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce almost monopolized the world's business roads, but anyone who could get close to the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce made a fortune.

Zhen Yi promised the benefits, and then frightened: "You all know Lu Bu, but Dong Zhuo was born there, and he was more ruthless than Dong Zhuo, and he wiped out all the rich families in Luoyang, Chang'an. If he enters the city, we will not end well. ”

Fame played a decisive role in this moment, and the businessmen present at the meeting had shrewd minds. If Lu Bu comes in, he will definitely ask for no less, and he has no agency.

Zhen Yi began to flicker again, and said: "On the Shi family's side, Mr. Cai has come forward, and the Shi family will support the champion Hou." ”

Cai Yong is a Confucian in the world, and he is a scholar who has studied for many generations, he is the ancestor of the ancestors, and anyone who sees him has to kneel. The businessmen immediately made the decision of "venture capital", and "investing" in Qin Feng's side was the only choice.

On the other hand, Cai Yong issued the "Hongru Order" and summoned the Confucian scholars of Yecheng, the most famous of which was Cui Yan, a famous scholar.

Cui Yan is the Qinghe Cui clan, which is different from Boling Cui Lie, who failed to fight against Qin Feng. Cui Yan originally studied with Zheng Xuan in Beihai, and returned to Yecheng when the Yellow Turban besieged Beihai, but he didn't expect Yecheng to be besieged.

"Master, there is no surplus food at home for the juniors."

The scholars have studied for generations, and when they come to Cai Yong, whether they are the head of the family or their sons and grandchildren, they are all Confucian scholars and Cai Yong's younger generations.

These people have been officials in their families for many generations, and their words and deeds teach them how to deal with the world, which is much more difficult to deal with than businessmen. For the nobles, no matter who is in power, their position will not be shaken. So in a certain situation, they will not help the weaker side.

Cai Yong is in trouble here.

In fact, Qin Feng relied on the strength of the people, and it was easy to take down the Shi clan. But at this moment, Lu Bu's army was outside the city, and this time period was a special case, making him temporarily unable to act. (To be continued.) )
