Chapter Seventy-Six: The Law of Differentiation
Although these people in front of him are all high-ranking generals in the army, Min Feihan was not frightened, and the person was speechless, Min Feihan has never been used to the problems of these people.
"What are you? It was the marshal who was recuperating in this courtyard, and you could afford to disturb him? Go back and ask the commander of your right battalion, see if he dares to block the gate of this courtyard and make noise without passing the word, how many heads do you have? Min Feihan slammed back mercilessly.
Seeing that the man looked unconvinced and wanted to argue, Min Feihan's words changed: "Who does the marshal want to meet, is it still up to you to arrange it?" I didn't pass you on, I don't see you, so I need to make a noise here? The commander of your right battalion has not yet been heard, when will it be your turn to be a partial general! ”
If you think about it carefully, as the commander of the right battalion, he has not yet been summoned by the marshal, and a subordinate general of the right battalion dares to meet the marshal without being summoned, can it be said that he has other intentions!
As soon as the generals of the right battalion heard Min Feihan's words, they immediately retracted their heads, and they no longer saw the arrogant and domineering appearance just now.
Min Feihan saw that the momentum of these people was weakened, and said to Yayin: "Whoever dares to trespass directly to me, go back and ask the marshal, and take people one by one!" ”
Unexpectedly, Min Feihan showed up, and a few words made these generals who were invincible just now wilt, Yayin quietly stuck out her tongue: "Yes, Lord Min, don't worry, the slave and maid will guard the courtyard." ”
Min Feihan nodded, and then turned around to find Xiahou Yan.
The few people in the house knew everything about the courtyard just now, and Min Feihan heard the words of the generals who reprimanded them clearly.
Xiahou Yan lay on the bed and pursed his lips, looking like he wanted to laugh but didn't laugh.
"Ahem, let's talk about the current situation first!" Yutai couldn't look at Xiahou Yan like that, so he interrupted directly.
Peng Hantao always felt that there was something wrong with Xiahou Yan, Min Feihan, and Yutai, which they didn't know, but it was not easy to ask.
After seeing the excitement at this meeting, he brought the topic back again, and let go of the doubts in his heart and said: "The most troublesome thing in front of me is to buy grain from a few merchants in the city. The other is that the Qiang Hou army retreats to the 'plastic city', do we press step by step, or do we cut to rest and recuperate, and then try to move backwards? ”
Min Feihan happened to come in, and when he heard Peng Hantao's words, he couldn't help but interject: "It's not difficult for merchants in the city to buy grain, as long as one or two households are moved, the rest will naturally come naturally, and the difficulty lies in the first few."
As for the enemy of 'Plastic City', I think it is better to wait for the marshal's injury to heal, and then attack, and at this moment, most of Luzhou has fallen into my hands, I estimate that Qiang Hou should have no more heart to fight, it is better to stop for a while, and see how the Qiang Hou side responds. ”
Min Feihan's words won the heart of Xiahou Yan.
"Then what do you think you should do to buy military rations from merchants in the city?" Xiahou Yan asked.
"In the past few days, I asked my subordinates to adjust the difference, and found that there are six companies in the city that insist on high food prices, and two of them have been loosened. The other one seems to be making trouble, but in fact they are worried every day, afraid that we will take a ruthless move against them. I think it's best to start with this! After Min Feihan finished speaking, he also showed a wicked smile.
"How?" Peng Hantao has been disturbed by the purchase of food in the army for a while these days, so he is more eager than others to know from Min Feihan's mouth what method can be used to solve these businessmen.
Min Feihan whispered to Peng Hantao for a while, and saw Peng Hantao leave with a happy face.
Seeing Peng Hantao's happy appearance, Xiahou Yan was also aroused in his curiosity, but because there were still others at this time, it was not good for Min Feihan to tell him.
"If the marshal doesn't object, I'll send an order down and let the battalions straighten out in place, and when the marshal recovers from his injuries, he will wave his army to capture the 'plastic city'?" Before leaving, Yutai asked.
"Yes!" Xiahou Yan replied word by word.
The next day, several pieces of news continued to come out of Luzhou County. The first is the Sun family, a large grain storage family in the city, whose son was appointed by Xiyu as the seven-grade Shangshucheng.
This is equivalent to someone in the Sun family who has eaten Xiyu's official grain, and he is no longer a lowly merchant.
There was an uproar in the city, and then all the granaries of the Sun family were opened, allowing Peng Hantao to take people to buy military rations.
Subsequently, several other families that had been in a stalemate with the Xiyu army also opened private granaries one by one and sold the hoarded grain to Peng Hantao.
In a few days, enough military rations were replenished, which solved the urgent need of the Xiyu army for food shortage!
It's just that only the two families who are left who are sworn to die, Peng Hantao thought of a few ideas and couldn't solve them, so he could only ask Min Feihan again.
It's just that Min Feihan didn't have any good ideas this time, and when he heard that there were still two families who refused to obey and were unwilling to sell the grain and grass they had hoarded according to the average price.
So he immediately ordered someone to summon Chen Qigang, Qiu Shun and Du Ruming, and with a few soldiers of the cavalry battalion, they broke into the homes of the two merchants all the way.
Seeing Min Feihan rushing into the door with people, the merchant surnamed Lu still had a look on his face, what can you do: "The adults came with troops, don't you want to rob it?" ”
"What did Master Lu say, we are just looking at Master Lu to be a rich man in Luzhou, and now the situation is turbulent, we are thinking about what kind of thieves and thieves are hiding in the Lu Mansion, in case it endangers your Lu family, it is not ours." After Min Feihan finished speaking, he waved his hand and said to the soldiers who followed: "Go and search, don't let any villains hide in the mansion and turn around and harm Master Lu's family!" ”
When the soldiers heard the sound, they checked the Lu Mansion again and again.
Min Feihan looked at the backyard of the Lu Mansion, as well as several granaries built on the street, which were broken into by the soldiers and exposed hundreds of thousands of catties of grain.
"Look, look, Master Lu is worthy of being a merchant, this ability to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune is really, tsk!" Min Feihan turned his head to the soldiers and said: "Let's talk about it when we go out, look at the food hoarded by our Master Lu, who was not handed over to Qiang Hou Shoucheng at the beginning, and was unwilling to sell it to us at a low price at this time, so he waited for the natural disaster to come that day, so that he could sell it to the poor people and make a windfall!" ”
Holding a handful of grain, Min Feihan smiled and said to Master Lu: "Seeing that your granaries are overflowing, it must be that you have avoided paying taxes and grains every year, right?" Sure enough, there are people in the court who are good officials, and they don't have to pay taxes and grain! ”
Master Lu was sweating in a hurry, but he didn't dare to blast Min Feihan and the others out, so he could only stare dryly at a group of people pointing and drawing in the mansion, talking nonsense.
Slowly, many people and passers-by surrounded them, Min Feihan and a group of soldiers were talking nonsense about the train, but many of those people took it seriously, and some people were convinced.
So they pointed at Master Lu and scolded!
In fact, Qiang Hou couldn't hold the county seat at the beginning, it really had nothing to do with military rations, but the people didn't understand, as soon as they heard what Min Feihan and a group of soldiers said, Master Lu hoarded so much food, and the Qiang Hou army didn't hand it over when he controlled this place, and Xiyu didn't sell the city, so it was obvious that he had other intentions.
People are also clouds, and all of a sudden Master Lu has become a target, and he has been scolded by the people, and there is no way to refute it!
The crowd was boiling, and the remarks reached a certain level, Min Feihan stood up and said: "Fellow villagers, many people, although I occupy this city in the west, I am just asking for some grain and grass supplies, and I also buy it with silver, and I have not taken it by force.
But these merchants, seeing profit and forgetting righteousness, sit on the ground and raise the price of grain, intending to make war profits, such an act is shameful and hateful, today is these grain and grass our army can't buy, then let him evaluate and sell, let the people buy it, and can't let these profiteers take the opportunity to make money! ”
As soon as the people heard Min Feihan's words, they supported this behavior even more, and many people took out their money on the spot to buy the grain stored in Master Lu's house.
The news soon spread to the neighbors, so more and more people rushed to Mr. Lu's mansion with snack bags or utensils for rice and grain.
Master Lu regrets this!
I knew that it was better to sell it to the Xiyu army, and the purchase of military rations, even if it was at a fair price, would be much higher than the price of grain sold to the people.
But now it's good, a few words from this young general made the people rush to buy food. If you don't sell it, you will offend the people of this city. Selling, it's good to be able to barely keep your capital, let alone make money!
"That, my lord, my lord, you see, let's discuss, let's discuss, what do you think?" Master Lu will turn around and beg Min Feihan.
Min Feihan would ignore it and let Master Lu jump anxiously on the side.
The people are crazy and generally ask Master Lu to hoard these grains, Xiyu and Qianghou have been fighting for years, and the people's thirst for food in Luzhou is not ordinarily high.
Seeing that if he didn't agree today, I was afraid that these people would dare to loot, and this little general of Xiyu probably wouldn't be idle, it was originally something he provoked.
Master Lu thought about it, and came to Min Feihan again: "Master Jun, I agree, I am willing to sell this grain to you, but, please hurry up and stop these people!" ”
Min Fei said in a cold heart, he really didn't leave, he was going backwards, how could he get so troublesome if he spoke like this earlier!
"Master Lu, you have also seen that if you don't sell some food to the people today, I'm afraid you won't be able to pass this hurdle. Even if we are soldiers, we will not dare to grab food from the people, you can do it yourself! Min Feihan decided to hang this old man Lu's appetite.
More and more people gathered, and the gate of the Lu family was crowded with people!
"Then you say, what to do now, I, I'm all right!" Master Lu and he wanted to cry without tears.
Min Feihan smiled at this time, and said in the ear of Master Lu: "How much is sold to the people, otherwise none of us will be able to get out of this door today!" ”
Master Lu sighed, knowing that Min Feihan was telling the truth, and the people were excited, if they didn't sell more, I was really afraid that someone would dare to burn his Lu family today.
"Sell, sell, only three cents more than the parity, sell!" Old Man Lu slumped in his chair and said.
'Coax-'
As soon as I heard that Master Lu had decided to sell grain, the people instantly began to make a fuss.
When Min Feihan saw this situation, he couldn't watch it anymore, and stood up: "Be quiet!" Calm down, or no one will buy this grain today! ”
The soldiers who came to build the cavalry battalion, as well as Qiu Shun and others, also helped to maintain order, and soon the people returned to calm and waited for what Min Feihan said next.
"Since Master Lu has decided to sell grain, then you don't need to make a noise, line up and buy in order!" After Min Feihan finished speaking, he glanced at everyone and continued: "But because there are too many people, there are still many people who have not rushed over, so each family is limited to 20 catties of rice and 30 catties of white noodles!" ”
"Coax-"
There was another burst of chatter, which erupted among the people!
"Why should we be restricted from buying, as long as we can afford it, why can we only buy so much?"
