Chapter 414: Thunder Means
In a large hall, a large group of people were sitting sneering, these people were rich and powerful people in the Balkan Province, of course, some of them were big businessmen, and they were considered a figure in the Balkan Province. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In these years, although the Shi farmers and businessmen, the Shi clan looked down on merchants, but there was no family of the Shi clan who was not in business, which was simply the strangest thing in the whole world.
The family of scholars is not only powerful but also rich. Among the scholar families, some people are officials, and some people are merchants, one holds authority and the other holds money, but these scholar families look down on merchants and merchants, and divide human beings into three, six, nine and so on, and the lowest is the merchant.
I have to say that this is a rather strange thing, but there are many strange things in this world, such as a certain farming nation, which was originally founded on agriculture and has been an agricultural civilization since ancient times, but some people look down on farmers and rural people.
A group of figures walked in from the outside, dressed in new military uniforms, armed with sabers and short guns at their waists, and impressively new new troops who had just occupied the Balkan province.
The person at the head was none other than Generalissimo Han Tiesheng.
When he came to the main hall, he saw a large group of people, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a faint smile, and he came to the chair in the first place, sat down, and a pair of tiger eyes glanced at the people below, and all the people present were in their eyes.
"It's all here, it's all here, it's good, it's good. Han Tiesheng smiled slightly, and said: "Everyone, compared to all of you, I invited you this time, mainly because I want to tell you one thing, our army has consumed a lot of manpower and material resources to conquer the Balkan Province, and I think that as a leading figure in the Balkan Province, it is time for you to pay a share of your strength for the empire." ”
"Guys, we don't want much, just 500,000 quintals of food, all kinds of ammunition also need some, but it won't be much, for all of you who have a lot of money, it's just a drop in the penny. Han Tiesheng said with a slight smile.
"So many? Didn't you mean 300,000 quintals?" said a chubby man standing up.
"No, no, I heard yesterday that it was 200,000 loads, and what has become so many all of a sudden!" Another said.
"General Han Tiesheng, you are the generals of the empire, it is your duty to protect the family and defend the country, and the military rations consumed should go to the empire to ask for it, why do you want to take it from us?" said a family head with considerable dissatisfaction.
"That's right, if you want grain and grass, it should be prepared for you by the empire, and we have no obligation to provide you with grain and grass!"
"We are also very poor, we can't eat enough, and we have our own difficulties. ”
"We have a large family waiting for us to feed, if we give you food and grass, then what will our family eat?"
“......”
The gang of people present immediately became chaotic, and this meeting seemed to be telling Han Tiesheng that if he wanted money, he would die, and he would not have it! Anyway, if he wanted money or not money, and if he wanted food, he would starve you to death and force you out of Balkan Province!
"So, are you unwilling to give this money and food?" said Han Tiesheng with a faint smile.
"This general, it's not that we don't want to come out, we want to come out, but we are also poor!" said an old man in a Chinese costume with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, standing up and smiling slightly.
"That's right, we don't even have anything to eat, and there's a surplus of food to feed you. ”
"In normal times, we would definitely be able to give out, but now that the price of food has risen to three gold coins a catty, we can't afford to eat it ourselves. ”
"We just experienced the war, and even we don't have any food left. ”
“......”
"Okay, yes, that's right, so let's talk about another thing. Han Tiesheng smiled slightly, without a trace of anger on his face.
"This time, the orcs invaded the Balkan Province and slaughtered half of the common people, it can be said that many villages are ten rooms and nine empty, my plan is this, there are countless slaves in your family, you hand over all your slaves, let them become new people, let them cultivate the land that has no master, what do you think?" Han Tiesheng smiled and said: "If you don't resume production as soon as possible, most of the land in Balkan Province will be wasted this year." ”
"This is not good, this is absolutely not good, slaves are slaves, masters are masters, if there are no slaves, can we let these noble nobles go to cultivate the land?" An old man in fancy clothes with a goatee said: "No, if you use your method, then the world will be chaotic, and there will be no rules!"
"Shi Nong, industrial and commercial slaves, this is a rule that has been set a long time ago, it is a rule set by the ancestors, General Han, if you open this opening today, the world will be chaotic in the future!" another old man in Chinese clothes stood up and said.
"What Elder Zhang said is not wrong at all, there are many slaves in our family, but those slaves are all bought by the wealth accumulated by us from generation to generation, and they are legal, how can we say that if we return their free bodies, we will return their free bodies? Besides, according to the laws of the empire, slaves are slaves and belong to us. ”
“......”
"So, you're not willing to obey my arrangement?" said Han Tiesheng with a slight smile.
When these people present saw Han Tiesheng's helplessness, their faces showed extremely proud expressions, what can you do if you are a general? After all, you are from the outside, and this world is still us Balkans in the end.
"Hey, I've been kind enough to discuss with you, but you don't appreciate it, so don't blame me!" Han Tiesheng snorted coldly and slapped the table with a loud noise.
"Boom la la ......"
At this time, outside the main hall, a large group of soldiers ran in and quickly surrounded these people present.
"General Han Tiesheng, what do you mean by this?"
"General Han Tiesheng, we are an aristocratic family in the Balkan Province, you have to think clearly, if the Balkan Province is without us, the Balkan Province will be really chaotic!"
"Hmph, I don't believe you dare to kill so many of us!"
“......”
"Toast and don't eat and drink, then I will fulfill you!" Han Tiesheng sneered, pulled out the saber in his hand, held it high above his head, and then waved it.
"Crackling ......"
One after another, a gunshot rang out, and a particle bullet quickly left the muzzle of the gun and moved forward quickly, and then I saw that the blood on the bodies of the heads of these noble families present spurted out......
