Chapter 90 Enwei and the Warrior Clan, Open and Honest to Attract Business Opportunities

As mentioned in the above book, Guan Yu asked Zhou Cang to take down the county orders of Chailuo and Liangcheng County.

Chai Luo, who had the support of the Shi clan forces behind him, didn't put Guan Yu in his eyes at all, even if he had been tied up by Zhou Cang, he was still fierce and scolded.

Guan Yu squinted his eyes, stood in the court, standing still like a stone statue, and after letting him curse a few times, he snorted coldly: "Zhou Cang, put this corrupt old man in the backyard, so that he can guard it!" You wait for this foolish county order to bring in the law, and you will try him for trial! ”

Nowadays, most of the Xuzhou scholars fled to the south to avoid chaos, and there are only small gate valves like the Chai family, such as the Xiaopei Cao family, the Xuzhou Chen family, the Beihai Kong family, and so on.

In this way, a small gate valve like the Chai family can emerge at this time and ascend to a position like Xiapi Juncheng.

At this time, the gate valve can be said to be the dominant class in this era. And Chai Luo is the leader of the sergeant clan in Xiapi County, so he naturally has the ability to be rampant.

From the mouth of the county order, Guan Yu learned the whereabouts of the grain, found the grain, and personally presided over the distribution, encouraging the displaced people to reclaim the wasteland.

More than 30,000 displaced people in Chengliang County received grain seeds one after another, and under the arrangement of the soldiers, they began to work on land reclamation.

In several other counties, the officials of the scholar clan who distributed the grain seeds learned that Chai Luo was imprisoned by Guan Yu and found out the grain seeds, and they were frightened one by one, and hurriedly took out the grain seeds and distributed them.

For a time, there was a wave of reclamation and labor in Xiapi counties.

However, the matter of Chai Luo is a bit tricky to deal with.

The news of Chai Luo's imprisonment soon spread to the various clan gates.

The helmsmen in the gate valve all gathered in Chen Qi's mansion next to the Chen family and asked Chen Qi for advice.

Chen Jue looked at everyone and said, "At that time, Liu Xuande entered Xiapi, and he had already saluted first and then soldiers. It's just that I'm waiting for his way! This is a grievance! What's more, people have returned the land that should belong to us to us! As for those houses, they didn't belong to us in the first place, so why fight again? Do you know the importance of those grains? For a whole winter, do you know how Liu Xuande came over? ”

The big guys all looked at Chen Qi and didn't speak.

None of them thought that Chen Qi would help Liu Bei speak.

I only heard Chen Jue continue: "This winter, we are eating chicken, duck and fish, and drinking wine. Liu Xuande guarded tens of thousands of tons of grain, but he ate wild vegetables and cakes made of ground grass roots, and survived this winter like those civilians. Now, Chai Luo has embezzled these grains! What do you think the consequences will be? ”

"Isn't this Lord Chai trying to demonstrate to him? How do you know that Guan Yu's guy is really ......," Cao Bao of the Cao family said.

Cao Bao, the captain of Xiapi City Gate, that is, the leader of the soldiers defending the city.

"Hey! We are far less powerful than we used to be! In the past, although there was a big gate valve, it could not show our glory, but we can also use the power of the big gate valve to continue to grow. But now? We can only rely on ourselves! If we want to expand our family's power, we must cooperate with Taishou-sama! Chen Jue said thoughtfully.

Just being interrupted by Chen Qi, Cao Bao was still a little angry in his heart, but he was relieved in a blink of an eye, so he interjected: "What Mr. said is extremely true. It's just that for now, we should go to Taishou Mansion to save Chai Luo first! ”

"Father, everyone, Deng Bucai, I am willing to go to the Taishou Mansion and persuade the Taishou to let Chai Luo go!" At this time, a person walked in from outside the house, looking about twenty-five or sixteen years old, nearly eight feet tall, with clear eyebrows and thin cheeks, wearing a brocade robe, looking at everyone with a smile.

This person is the son of Chen Qi, Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong. This son is skillful, can speak well, and is quite famous in Xuzhou.

"Deng'er, are you sure to convince Liu Xuande?" Chen Qi asked.

Looking at his father, Chen Deng shook his head and said, "Father, Liu Bei didn't think about embarrassing us from the beginning, it's just that we were one move worse than him, and we didn't get some additional benefits in this benefit." As for Chai-sama's? I think Liu Bei will definitely punish him and show us. As for how to deal with him, I'm afraid it won't be easy! ”

Hearing him say this, the people of the Chai Luo family stopped doing it, and asked sharply: "You just said that you persuaded Taishou to let our family master go, why did you say this now?" ”

"Brother Chai, don't be excited! Deng is not done yet! Chen Deng calmed the people of the Chai family, and then said, "Liu Xuande will deal with Lord Chai, but he will definitely not kill the adult." Because he still needs the people in our gate! ”

"Well, since you're so sure, go ahead!" Chen Jue's eyes swept over everyone, and when he saw that everyone had no objection to Chen Deng's words, he agreed to him.

Seeing Guan Yu escorting Chai Luo back to the house, Liu Bei did not go to see Chai Luo, but only asked Guan Yu about the situation.

Guan Yu told Liu Bei what had happened, and handed over the confession of the county order to Liu Bei.

After reading the confession, Liu Bei said to Guan Yu: "Punish the county order, let him make meritorious service for his crimes, and return to Chengliang to continue to be the county order, but the homeless people and the people must be protected, and this kind of thing must not happen again, otherwise it will be killed." ”

"Yes, big brother!" Guan Yu said yes and left.

Facing Chai Luo, Liu Bei felt very embarrassed.

How to deal with the matter of Chai Luo is related to how to deal with the scholars in Xiapi City, and even the scholars in Xuzhou as a whole.

Just when he was troubled, the guards outside came to report: "My lord, Lord Chen Deng is asking to see you outside the mansion." ”

Oh?! Chen Deng?

It seems that these scholars are still coming quite quickly!

After a while, Chen Deng came in from outside: "Subordinate Chen Deng to meet your lord." "Chen Deng, the clerk of Xiapi County, is second only to the official of the main book. His father, Chen Qi, the chief secretary under Tao Qian in Xuzhou, was recuperating at home due to illness.

"Oh?! Chen Deng, what's the matter with you? Liu Bei asked.

"My subordinates beg your lord to let Chai Luo go!" He said bluntly.

Hearing this, Liu Bei smiled slightly and asked, "Yuanlong, do you want to make Bei lose his trust in the world?" ”

"Definitely! My lord, Lord Chai is the patriarch of the Xiapi Chai family. Deng, asking the lord to let him go, is to envelop the people of the lower Pi Shi for the sake of the lord. Chen Deng said.

Liu Bei got up and walked to Chen Deng, and said sharply: "When I first came to Xiapi, I longed for the help of all the gate valves. However, all the gate lords led by Chai Luo closed the door to Bei, and even worse, he even withheld the grain seeds of the revival of Xiapi. Is it tolerable or intolerable? However, Mr. Yuanlong opened his mouth to plead, presumably all the gate valves were also watching this matter. Bei naturally grasped the proportions, he should have beheaded him, but now the punishment will be reduced, and the cane will be punished with twenty military sticks to show punishment! ”

"Your Excellency is wise. Dengding persuaded the people of Xiapi to abandon dissent, and jointly assisted the adults to govern Xiapi and restore all industries in Xiapi! Chen Deng originally thought that Liu Bei would be concerned about the power of the Shi clan, so he directly released Chai Luo.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bei would really punish Chai Luo. Looking at Liu Bei's appearance, he will really be angry and bulldoze the Chai family and other gate valves that do not obey the teachings.

Chai Luo lost power from then on, and was sent to Chengliang by Liu Bei, and was ordered by Chengliang. The Chai family's power in Xiapi was gradually divided by several other families. The gate valves of all families began to enter Liu Bei's field of vision and were used by Liu Bei.

Liu Bei appointed Chen Deng as Gong Cao Peng and appointed Le Yin as the main secretary.

The sons and daughters of the Shi clan entered the county government one after another, and Liu Bei gradually merged with the Xiapi Shi clan gate valve.

Xiapi has entered a period of development.

In the summer of the second year of Zhongping, Zhongshan merchants Zhang Shiping and Su Fei came to Xiapi County again.

He said to Liu Bei: "There are horses in the north, iron in the south, and coal in the west. These three types of goods are necessary materials for a rich country and a strong army. Although there is no Taiping Road now, the remnants of the Yellow Turban still rebel from time to time. The Baibo army in the Sanfu area is still in trouble, and the general sent Dong Zhuo to suppress the bandits, but they were defeated in a row. Later, Muding Yuan went to the state and defeated the Baibo army. Therefore, you should plan ahead and increase your power. ”

"What do you mean by ......?" Liu Bei asked puzzled.

Su Fei said on the side: "I hope that Lord Taishou can reduce the tariffs of merchants and encourage business." ”

"No problem with this! I immediately arranged for Leyin to draft the paperwork. Liu Bei readily agreed.

Zhang Shiping said again: "Now except for the stability in Xiapi, the bandits in other places are still very arrogant, so we hope that you can send soldiers and horses to protect our caravan." We'll pay for the hiring. ”

"This!" Liu Bei hesitated, after all, such a thing had never happened in a hurry.

After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Yes, I will send cavalry to protect you." The general of the unified army is yours to choose! ”

In fact, Liu Bei has now begun to prepare for his own forces.

In Xiapi, his Tuntian soldiers and horses have exceeded 3,000.

He selected another 5,000 people from the homeless people, provided them with fields, and sent Tuoba Kun and others to train in addition to clearing the wasteland.

In other words, the army under his command now exceeds 8,000 people. The number of county soldiers of this scale far exceeded the number of county soldiers at that time.

However, he hid them all in the tuntian.

Opened to business, he asked Zhang Shiping and Su Fei for a reward for protecting the caravan. He asked the two men to provide him with fifty war horses and five hundred catties of iron every month as the basic conditions for protecting the caravan.

Fifty war horses and five hundred catties of iron were not a large amount for Zhang Shiping and Su Fei, so the two readily agreed.

What Liu Bei didn't expect was that soon after, Xiapi became the most commercially developed city in Xuzhou City.

Because of the help of Zhang Shiping and Su Fei, Xiapicheng waited smoothly until autumn.

This season's bumper harvest alleviated the embarrassment of Xiapi for a year, and the people returned the grain from the government, and their families also had food stocks for the winter. The people's love for Liu Bei suddenly rose to a very high height.

In front of the Taishou Mansion, the people who sent things to Liu Bei often blocked that street, making it difficult for Liu Bei to travel.

When the gate lords of the scholar clan saw this scene, they couldn't help but ignore Liu Bei's ability. After all, their forces could no longer threaten Liu Bei, so they had to move closer to Liu Bei.
