Chapter 601: Food Crisis Resolved
Smiling Tiger!
In everyone's hearts, this word comes to mind. ΡΡΡ.(vii) (ix) x.S.ΡΠΎΠΌ The update is so fast.
Liu Xiu threatened Song Yuan and Zhu Yan in front of them, and then said that it was okay, his face was too thick, and his heart was too dark. Such a person is the most suitable and difficult, and it makes the major families and merchants helpless.
You are thicker than you are cheeky with him, and he is thicker than you.
You are more ruthless than him, he is more ruthless than you, and his heart is darker.
More importantly, Liu Xiu's strength is strong enough.
For many reasons, everyone didn't dare to wrestle with Liu Xiu, what Liu Xiu said, that's what it is.
Song Yuan was the first to speak: "Liu Jingzhou, although my Song family is not a big family, nor is it a big family, but Liu Jingzhou needs food, and the Song family is willing to help." My Song family gave 20,000 stone of grain and 5,000 gold to support Liu Jingzhou. β
"Shhh
When everyone heard this, their faces were shocked.
20,000 stone of grain, converted to hundreds of thousands of catties of grain.
The Song family took out so much grain at once, it would definitely hurt the muscles and bones.
Five thousand gold!
This amount of money is not a small amount.
20,000 stone of grain and 5,000 gold can be described as a large sum.
One by one was dumbfounded, and secretly scolded Song Yuan in his heart for raising the price so high. In such a situation, if it is too much less than Song Yuan, it is impossible to say it at all.
Liu Xiu saw it in his eyes, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "The Song family is very good, and this official appreciates it very much." Now in Chang'an City, there are still some vacant official positions, and the Song family can let young and promising disciples become officials. It's not good to always hide it. β
"Ahh
When Song Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but exclaim.
There was so much surprise in his eyes.
Liu Xiu said: "What, don't you want to?"
"Yes, yes, thank you Liu Jingzhou, thank you Liu Jingzhou Longen. β
Song Yuan hurriedly thanked him, as a businessman, even if he was rich enough to rival the country, he would be suppressed by the government and be restricted everywhere. Now Liu Xiu's fluttering words have given the Song family an official position, which is simply a pie falling from the sky.
Money and food are used, and they can be earned again.
But the opportunity right now, if you miss it, you won't have it.
Song Yuan bowed again, and then sat down happily, looking proud, leaving all the conflicts with Liu Xiu behind him, as if he had forgotten everything.
Zhu Yan also stood up and said, "Liu Jingzhou, although the Zhu family is hard, but if they smash the pot and sell iron, they can't let Liu Jingzhou's soldiers starve without money." My Zhu family also donated 20,000 stone of grain and 5,000 gold. β
"Good!"
Liu Xiu nodded, with a satisfied look.
This time, Liu Xiu did not mention the matter of officials again.
Zhu Yan felt a little lost in his heart, and secretly regretted it in his heart, thinking that if he was the first to stand up, then the one who would get the benefit would be the Zhu family, what a pity!
Zhu Yan's heart was lost, but he was helpless.
Liu Xiu smiled and said, "The Zhu family and the Song family have expressed their opinions, what about you?"
"My lord, my Liu family doesn't have much money, and the food is not enough. Therefore, the Liu family could only come up with 5,000 stone of grain and 5,000 gold. There is not much money and food, but it is the Liu family's heart. β
"Liu Jingzhou, my Gu family doesn't have much food, but there is money. The ancient family gave 1,000 stone of grain and 100,000 gold. β
"My Xue family gave 10,000 stone of grain and 3,000 gold. β
"My Zhao family gave 20,000 stone of grain and 5,000 gold. β
......
Everyone in the hall spoke.
Whether it is a person from a family or a merchant, they all give food and money.
Liu Xiu listened to it in his ears, and a smile was bright on his face.
In the huge city of Chang'an, although the granary has been emptied, although all the equipment has been removed, the family and merchants are still there. During the war years, what these families and merchants were best at was hoarding food and money, and if they supported Liu Xiu, everything would be fine.
The problem of food is not a problem at all.
After everyone reported the number, Liu Xiu looked at the assistant officials on the side. At this time, the official said: "My lord, the total amount of grain donated by the major families is 430,000 stones, and the total amount of money is 320,000 gold. β
After Liu Xiu heard this, his eyes flashed with a 'fine' light.
430,000 stone of grain!
I'm afraid that the number of Cao '' who moved away does not have this number.
The family of Chang'an City is not simple!
Liu Xiu stood up, bowed to the people present, and said, "Your friendship, this official has written it down." β
In a word, the people here are still dumbfounded.
They looked at Liu Xiu, looking forward to Liu Xiu's next words. has paid such a big price, if only the Song family benefits, it is really a big loss, it is nothing more than wanting to get benefits from Liu Xiu's hands.
After Liu Xiu sat down, he said: "You trust and support this official so much, then this official can't let you suffer! This official promises that as long as Chang'an City is under the rule of this official, in the next three years, Chang'an City will be exempted from all merchants' taxes. Second, there are many officials in Chang'an City who are missing, and many of them are Cao Cao's people. Therefore, if there is a vacancy, the major families can report it, and the official will arrange for Xun Qiu to be selected one by one, and then arranged to serve in various places. β
After hearing the two decisions, everyone had a bright smile on their faces.
Earn big!
Tax exemption for three years!
For businessmen, if the government does not collect taxes, then the profit is greater. The money they pay, they don't take a year at all, and they can transfer all the money in a few months.
The most important thing is that people from all major families can become officials.
At this moment, everyone looked at Liu Xiu with blazing eyes.
If they were full of complaints about Liu Xiu before, and they wanted to pick Liu Xiu's skin, then now, they can't wait to offer Liu Xiu as a bodhisattva.
Because Liu Xiu came, they got benefits.
For businessmen and families, the so-called cheekiness is not a thing.
The most important thing is profit.
Liu Xiu saw this point and dared to open his mouth.
In particular, Liu Xiu was exempted from taxes for three years, allowing people from major families to become officials. The two conditions have tied the merchant and the family to Liu Xiu's warship. Only by following Liu Xiu can they have these benefits. Once Cao 'Cao' kills again, if they don't do their best to help Liu Xiu resist, then the benefits they get will be in vain.
This is Liu Xiu's calculation.
Bundle of interests!
Only the combination of interests and interests is the most reliable.
Liu Xiu looked at the smiling people of the major families, waved his hand and said, "Everyone, there is a lack of food, grass and money in the army, and if you want to rely on Hanzhong for supplies, it is a long way to go. So this matter has to be hard for you. β
Liu Jingzhou rest assured, all this is on us. β
"Liu Jingzhou is incomparably benevolent and righteous, and we will naturally go all out to help Liu Jingzhou. β
"Food and money are not a problem, we should do our best. β
One by one, they opened their mouths to pack tickets, and after finishing them, they all resigned, and left one after another to prepare food and money. In the afternoon, a steady stream of food and money was delivered to the barracks.
The officials who were in charge of receiving food and money recorded little by little.
This incident lasted for two days.
All the food and money is in place.
At this time, Xun Qiu was also very busy, because he had to count the vacant official positions in Chang'an City, as well as receive the people who came up from the major families. Xun Qiu was busy, and he admired Liu Xiu's methods even more in his heart. Such a wrist can be regarded as tying everyone to death and making them willingly serve Liu Xiu.
In camp!
Liu Xiu listened to Wen Ping's report, saying that the food and money had been arranged, and he had a bright smile on his face.
Liu Xiu looked at Wen Ping and said, "General Wen, the exit of the Meridian Road must be guarded." As long as there is a meridian road, we can attack and retreat and defend, so that we can echo Liangzhou from afar. β
Wen Ping nodded and said, "Don't worry, the last general has arranged for three thousand soldiers to be stationed on the Meridian Road. Along the way, there was a sentry in five miles and a post in ten miles, all of which were arranged with soldiers. As soon as there is a war, the news will be sent back. Cao 'Cao' wanted to sneak attack the Meridian Dao, it was impossible to succeed. Cao 'Cao' took the initiative to withdraw from Chang'an this time, wanting to put the lord in trouble, but as everyone knows, it was self-defeating. β
Liu Xiu had a bright smile on his face and said, "Cao '' this time, it is indeed a big loss. He withdrew his troops to the Baling garrison east of Chang'an, which was the biggest mistake. Today, Chang'an no longer belongs to Cao's ''. β
Wen Ping reported on other government affairs, and then turned around and retired.
