Zhang Guozhong's face was heavy, very serious, and said: "Last month, King Qin asked me to go to the study, and King Qin held a list in his hand, and after reading it, he was very angry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Brother Ling Yan, do you know what kind of list that is?"

Ling Yan is the person who spoke before, about forty years old, is a big family in Kaiyuan, Kaiyuan Ling's family, as soon as he heard this, a bad feeling rose in his heart, and after thinking about it, he asked, "I don't know what the list is." ”

Zhang Guozhong said: "King Qin gave me that list, I picked it up and looked at it, and the result... And guess what? It's all your names. ”

"Ahh Me, ours? Why is King Qin angry? ”

Zhang Guozhong said: "Do you still need me to explain this?" Tell me yourselves, the king of Qin issued a notice to borrow grain from you, have you borrowed it? How much was borrowed? ”

"Lord Zhang, we borrowed it, but my Ling family borrowed a full eight hundred loads."

Ling Yan said.

Zhang Guozhong smiled, shook his head and said, "Not enough." ”

"Just eight hundred quintals, your Ling family has this little belongings?"

"This..."

Ling Yan didn't know what to do for a while.

It's not that he doesn't want to borrow it, but he's really worried, if he borrows it, Ling Feng won't pay it back? If he doesn't pay it back, it will be a big loss, as the head of a big family, he has to think about his family.

When it comes to food, he must have it, not to mention hundreds of loads, thousands of loads, but he must not take it out.

I only heard Zhang Guozhong say again: "The King of Qin is indeed short of food now, after the proclamation is decentralized, even those poor people know to take out the grain, you are a big grain household in the county, but you are not satisfied, how can the King of Qin not be angry?" ”

"If I hadn't stopped me at that time, you big families would have suffered."

After a pause, Zhang Guozhong looked at Ling Yan and said, "Do you remember the big families of Huai County and Surabaya County, and what did Pang Yi do to them?" ”

The words have been said very clearly, pick out the threat!

Ling Yan and all the family members present did not doubt Zhang Guozhong's words at all, because in their opinion, this was extremely likely.

Hearing this, everyone gasped, and Ling Yan asked, "Lord Zhang, are you saying that King Qin is going to attack us?" ”

"No, no, no, no, I stopped me."

Zhang Guozhong waved his hand and smiled.

Ling Yan got up and said, "Oh, Lord Zhang has really done us a great favor." ”

"Thank you, Lord Zhang."

Many in the hall stood up.

Zhang Guozhong smiled, pressed his hand, and motioned for everyone to sit down.

Zhang Guozhong said: "This is all a gesture, Zhang can do his best, of course he has to help everyone... We're all on the same page. ”

"So what's next?" Someone asked.

Everyone's eyes focused on Zhang Guozhong.

Here's the big thing!

Zhang Guozhong said very seriously: "You all listen to me, the most important thing now is to save your life, food and money are just external things, and you can earn it again if you don't have it, after you go back, quickly move all the grain in your warehouse out and take it to the grain station; Also, I want to explain that this is what the King of Qin borrowed from you, not from you, and when the autumn harvest arrives next year, I will definitely be able to return it to you! Do you remember those food stamps that you gave you when you went to the grain station the other day? There is the big seal of my internal affairs department on it, and there is the seal of the king of Qin, and with that, you can go to the grain station to exchange for grain. ”

The people in the lobby hesitated and didn't speak for a long time...

Zhang Guozhong is also a member of the big family, of course he understands everyone's thoughts, and suddenly said: "Don't worry, the old man assures you that the grain you take out now will definitely be able to be harvested back next year." ”

After hesitating for a while, Ling Yan said, "Lord Zhang, my Ling family is willing to pay two thousand quintals." ”

Two thousand quintals, which sounds like a lot, but Zhang Guozhong was not very satisfied, and said with a face: "Brother Ling, you still don't believe me, don't believe in King Qin, your Ling family only has two thousand quintals of grain?" ”

"This..."

Ling Yan said, "Master Zhang, there are only so many. ”

Except for Ling Yan, everyone else also stood up and expressed their willingness to take out the grain, but the amount was always a little suppressed, and the quantity was not very large, and it did not achieve the effect that Zhang Guozhong expected.

According to this amount, it is still not enough to make up 700,000 quintals.

Zhang Guozhong suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then I don't have anything to say, then you can leave now." With that, he picked up the tea on the table and served it to the guests.

"This..." The people of the family present were all embarrassed, they obviously didn't believe Zhang Guozhong's guarantee, because Zhang Guozhong was Ling Feng's father-in-law, so naturally he was on Ling Feng's side a little more, and it was absolutely possible to come to trap people with Ling Feng.

However, if you just leave, it won't work, the matter hasn't been solved yet, and if you just go back like this, it will definitely be difficult to sleep.

Ling Yan was almost the leader of all the big clans, and he smiled and said, "Lord Zhang, don't be like this, let's discuss it again." ”

"What's there to discuss? I've finished talking anyway, believe it or not. ”

Zhang Guozhong drank tea and said, "I'm helping you, can't you even see this?" If it drags on like this, I think you will be worried, things like Huai County and Surabaya County are not impossible to happen, in the eyes of King Qin, it will always be the common people first, the displaced people first, for them, King Qin will do everything! ”

After a while, on Zhang Guozhong's right hand, one stood up and said, "Lord Zhang, my Wang family is willing to give 3,000 loads of grain." ”

Zhang Guozhong looked sideways, and his face suddenly appeared happy, this Wang family is also a big family, of course, the family's heritage is not as huge as the Ling family, three thousand quintals are probably already doing their best, Zhang Guozhong smiled: "Okay, there is finally one." ”

"Brother Ling, think for yourself."

The head of the family, surnamed Wang, sat down, and when he said the number of three thousand quintals, his whole body relaxed, and he felt as if he had suddenly unloaded a thousand pounds of boulders.

Ling Yan lowered his head, as if thinking.

Zhang Guozhong stood up and said: "I still have some things, go and deal with it first, you can also discuss it here, wait for half an hour, I will come back, and you will give me a clear answer at that time." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Guozhong raised his feet and walked out of the courtyard, and then left Zhang's mansion.

As soon as Zhang Guozhong left, everyone in the hall was discussed, and all the families expressed their opinions.

Of course, the head of the Wang family before was advising everyone, stop resisting to the end, and go against Ling Feng, it is undoubtedly an egg hitting a stone, no matter whether the food can be taken out or not, it is better than losing his life, if Ling Feng is really provoked, everyone will have no good fruit to eat.

As Zhang Guozhong said, if Ling Feng was angry, followed Pang Yi's example, and confiscated all the clans, it would not be a matter of a little food, but of being wiped out. (To be continued.) )
