Chapter 38: Extortion

(Alas!) Inexplicably deducted points, depressed! Let's just click on that point, and it looks like it's almost 10,000 points, and we will directly deduct 2,000, tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands, why don't you deduct it! Brothers, beg for votes and comfort!555)

"Ahem, okay, it's far away! Now that you know you're wrong, Ben won't punish you anymore! It wasn't until Zhou Kang's lips turned purple from the cold, his teeth trembled, and goosebumps turned purple all over his body that Liu Xie patted him on the shoulder, stopped his, and then said to Zhou You: "Mr. Zhou! Let's let Ling Lang get dressed first! Now that this is the winter season, the weather is getting colder, and if Lang continues to freeze like this, he will have to freeze his body! ”

The bad guys and good guys all let Liu Xie be the one, but Zhou You is still very grateful to Liu Xie in his heart. It's not that he doesn't suspect that Liu Xie is delaying time, but he feels that compared to freezing his son in the cold wind, as long as people are willing to punish him a little more, he has no way to refuse!

What's more, it's just a cold wind! Yes, when they heard Liu Xie's words, they were naturally overjoyed!

But Zhou You also knew that this Liu Ji came over with so many soldiers and horses, and it would definitely not be just to educate his son gently, otherwise, it would be really a bit of a fuss. I believe that the real highlight should still be in the future.

Sure enough, before he could think too much, he heard Liu Xie laugh and say, "Mr. Zhou, don't you invite this general to come into the house and sit down?" ”

Zhou You smiled awkwardly and said, "How come!" Thank you for the general's magnanimity, Zhou is grateful! General Liu, please! General Taishi, please too! ”

Hearing this, the old butler brought out the prepared band and greeted him with the most distinguished guest.

Seeing Zhou You's whole set, Tai Shi Ci laughed secretly in his heart, and at the same time, he was also waiting to see how Liu Xie blackmailed this Zhou You.

Zhou You instructed his subordinates to serve tea, and then instructed his subordinates to prepare a meal and give it to the soldiers outside to enjoy. Liu Xie gave Xu Chenzhi a look, and after Chen Zhi nodded, he turned around and went out. In fact, it is not only Liu Xie who is worried, but he is also worried about this week's tricks and tricks in wine and food.

And Xu Chu was standing behind Liu Xie and didn't plan to sit down, although he was actually hungry for the wine that was served! And Zhou Cang stood outside the door as a doorman, and only Tai Shici was the only one who really sat down with Liu Xie.

Seeing this posture, even if Zhou You wants to use his hands and feet, he has to weigh it first.

After the people served the food, Xu Chu walked directly to Liu Xie's side, cut the meat with a dagger, and tasted it himself. Although doing this is actually quite rude to the master's family, but Xu Chu doesn't care about this, this kind of thing is what the master's family has to do, but Xu Chu can't trust them, so he can only come by himself.

Regarding Xu Chu's caution, Liu Xie didn't say anything.

In fact, this is definitely not what Xu Chu thought about himself, but what Fa Zheng and them explained. For such an explanation, Xu Chu will never be sloppy!

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Zhou You's face, and he said with a smile: "General Liu, this personal guard, is really loyal and conscientious!" What a hero! Come, Zhou has a drink to General Liu and General Taishi, please! After drinking a cup, the maid next to Zhou You gave him another full cup, he picked up the cup, and said, "Thank you General Liu for your mercy today!" The dog was ignorant and collided with the general, and the general beheaded him on the spot, and Zhou had nothing to say, but the general gently lifted it off! This favor, Zhou wrote it down! Zhou gave another glass to the two generals to show his gratitude, two generals, please! ”

After another drink, Liu Xie smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou doesn't have to be polite!" This general is an official of the court, and Mr. Zhou's clansman, General Zhou Yu, is also an official of the court, 'don't look at the face of the minister and look at the face of the king', how can this general be angry with General Zhou Yu's people? Although there is a bit of a holiday between General Zhou Yu and General Taishi, after all, it is a matter on the battlefield, and it should not be said in private! Yes, I believe that even if he is replaced by General Taishi, he will make the same choice as Liu! As the saying goes, it is better to settle the grievances than to settle them! Mr. Zhou thinks this is not the case? ”

"General Liu is right, it's so right!" Zhou You laughed. How could he say that Liu Xie was wrong!

Even Tai Shici felt that this was reasonable, after all, the things on the battlefield were things on the battlefield, even if there was anything dirty, it would be solved on the battlefield! After all, that's also the master, not a personal one. Thinking about it, Tai Shici was also ashamed of his previous idea of wanting to use this to attack Zhou Yu!

The three of them chatted with each other, and gradually, Liu Xie led the topic to the purpose of his trip south.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhou You heard it, he asked what Liu Xie was doing in the south?

Liu Xie talked about His Majesty's request to go south to recruit troops, and finally said: "Your Majesty probably didn't expect that this Jiangdong land would fall into war!" Now Ben will only raise 600 soldiers...... However, the general is not worried about the recruitment, what the general is worried about is the food and salary of the soldiers! Six hundred soldiers, Ben Jiang is already difficult to supply, if there are more, how should Ben Jiang be! Now that Jiangdong is in turmoil, all the grain and grass are in an emergency, even if His Majesty orders the state and county governments to supply the general's grain and grass, but how can the general bear to extend his hand to those government officials who have no surplus grain at this time? Ay! Annoying! How did Mr. Zhou teach me? ”

Zhou You wants to scold people: If you want benefits, just say it! It's so high-sounding, it's shameless!

But he didn't dare to say this, he actually knew very well that Liu Xie picked up his son's matter and put it down gently! It has already been shown that he has another purpose. Compared to the things that can be solved with money and food, as long as the foundation of his Zhou family is not moved, there will not be much of a problem!

At this time, Zhou You had to pretend to be generous and said: "General Liu, don't worry, although my Zhou family is not a wealthy family, but if you are frugal, you can still squeeze out some of it for the general." In this way, in order to thank General Liu for not blaming the dogs, Zhou was willing to offer thousands of stones of grain and grass to the general to thank the general! ”

A thousand stones of grain and grass, it sounds like a lot! But if you do the math, Nima! It's just a few pieces of gold.

Because Jiangdong is in the midst of a war, the price of a stone of corn is about 500 yuan, and if it is calculated according to 500 yuan, a thousand stones of grain and grass will be 500,000 yuan! At this time, at the exchange rate of five baht coins and gold in Jiangdong, one gold can be exchanged for about 18,000 yuan, and the 500,000 yuan is just more than 27 catties and a half gold. Twenty-seven catties of gold seems to be a lot, but in fact, it is only eighteen and a half gold.

Eighteen eridium gold, it sounds like a lot, more than four hundred taels of gold! But as long as you think about the property of the Zhou family in Wuhu, Liu Xie has a feeling of being treated as a beggar! Nima! My dignified Son of Heaven sits in front of you, and it is worth these four hundred taels of gold?

Not only is Liu Xie's expression not very good-looking, but even Xu Chu's originally dark face is about to become charcoal!

Seeing Liu Xie and Xu Chu's expressions, Tai Shici couldn't help laughing, and said with a hint of disdain for Zhou You: "Mr. Zhou, you don't need to provide a thousand stones of grain and grass, and there is no shortage of this grain and grass in a certain military camp!" Mr. Zhou, is this sending beggars? ”

Zhou You thought that Liu Xie was young and looked very foolish, but when he saw his face, he knew that if there was no blood today, it would be really difficult to be good, no wonder this guy didn't directly retreat the army outside, I think he wanted to use it to deter himself!

A trace of embarrassment flashed on Zhou You's face, and he said: "General Taishi's words are serious, please be in a hurry, Zhou's words have not been finished yet!" General Liu shared worries for the country and the monarch, and Zhou also admired it, the thousand stones of grain and grass just now were just a temporary emergency for Liu Xiejun. It's just that Zhou's family doesn't have much surplus food, but in order to express Zhou's gratitude and at the same time suppress General Liu, Zhou is willing to give another 500,000 yuan to the general......"

When it came to 500,000 yuan, Liu Xie's expression simply showed a trace of disdain. 500,000 yuan, what is the difference between it and a thousand stone grain?

So Zhou You paused, and said: "Golden Thousand Taels ......" while saying and looking at Liu Xie, when he saw that Liu Xie's expression eased a little, but he still frowned slightly, Zhou You secretly gritted his teeth, this guy, is really greedy! "Plus, a hundred horses of silk and satin, and ten pairs of white walls!"

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Liu Xie's face.

Li Daoyuan of the Northern Wei Dynasty recorded in "Water Jing Note: Baoqiu Water": "There is a woman in the Xu family in Beiping, and Yongbo asks for it, and he wants a pair of white bi. ”

It can be seen that the value of this white wall is not small. It's just that now it's a time of war, and the price of jade has decreased, but ten pairs of white walls are enough to cover hundreds of taels of gold.

So Liu Xie smiled and said: "Mr. Zhou is so generous, how can Liu be embarrassed!" What a shame! ”
