The strongest player in the flood
Page 190
Ye Chen simply ordered them to return to their duties and manage Liaoxi City.
After the big and small officials left, Han Dang came to the hall.
As soon as he entered the door, Han Dang bowed and said, "Meet the lord!"
Ye Chen nodded with a smile, and then asked, "Han Dang, have you finished cleaning the battlefield?"
"My lord, the battlefield has been cleaned, but there are only five pieces of equipment above the diamond level, and there are only 32 king-level exercises." Han Dang nodded, and then bowed in response.
Ye Chen couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and then said: "If the Yellow Turban rebels are well-equipped, the big guy is probably really dangerous."
Han Dang was slightly taken aback, then bowed and said, "My lord's words are true. Most of the Yellow Turban rebels came from poor backgrounds. They were bewitched by Zhang Jiao to join the rebellion. They really don't have any sophisticated equipment."
Ye Chen nodded with a smile, then looked at Han Dang, and asked:
"Han Dang, how long can the food in Liaoxi City last? I mean, how long can it last if you add the food from the rich merchants and tyrants?"
Before, when Ye Chen met officials of all sizes in western Liaoning, he did not inquire about this matter.
Because they couldn't tell the truth even if they asked, they were all big families in Liaoxi City, and it was impossible to tell how much their own food was.
In the year of catastrophe, the first thing they think about is their own interests, not the life and death of the common people.
Ye Chen knew this, otherwise Ye Chen would have asked.
When Han Dang heard this, he opened his eyes suddenly, and hurriedly bowed and said:
"My lord, if those wealthy gentry can bring out the food, the 800 million people in Liaoxi City can survive for at least two years!"
Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and then asked, "Do you know the approximate amount of grain hoarded by those gentry?"
"My lord, the exact number will not be known at the end, but the approximate number can be guessed at the end." Han Dang bowed and said without hesitation when he heard this.
Hearing this, Ye Chen narrowed his eyes, then looked at Guo Jia, and shouted:
"Feng Xiao, issue a notice saying that I buy grain at twice the usual grain price to solve the problem of food and clothing for the people in the city. The major grain merchants and gentry are not allowed to store grain privately, and can only keep the grain that the whole family has used for two years! "
Guo Jia was taken aback for a moment, then bowed and said, "My lord, I'm afraid this announcement won't have much effect. Those grain merchants and gentry may only use a little grain to deal with my lord."
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and then said, "They'd better obey orders, otherwise, Youzhou won't have a place for them anymore!"
"My lord, are you planning to kill?" Guo Jia was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.
Ye Chen glanced at Guo Jia, who was extremely anxious, and then asked, "Is Feng Xiao worried about the instability of Youzhou?"
"That's true, my lord. Although these gentry are not strong, their collective power should not be underestimated. Once my lord deals with those gentry in western Liaoning, the gentry in other cities in Youzhou will be in danger. Unite and oppose the lord." Guo Jia nodded with a heavy face, then bowed and said.
"Feng Xiao, do you know where the foundation of this world is?" Ye Chen laughed, and then asked.
Guo Jia was taken aback when he heard this, and then said: "The foundation of the world is naturally the common people..."
Ye Chen nodded, and then said domineeringly:
"Feng Xiao is right. The foundation of the world is the common people, not those gentry! In Youzhou, the obedient gentry can continue to stay, because they have no intention of fighting against me. If they are not obedient, I will keep them to cause chaos!"
Chapter 3 Eleven Thunder Means
Guo Jia was taken aback when he heard this, and then suddenly realized.
At this moment, Ye Chen is the Lord of Youzhou, the Hussar General of the Great Han Empire, the Champion Marquis, with a noble status and a detached status.
And Samsara City has a strong army and countless wealth, so there is no need to consider the possible influence of those wealthy gentry.
You can let go and deal with those gentry.
To put it simply, those who follow Ye Chen prosper, and those who go against Ye Chen perish.
Thinking of this, Guo Jia hastily bowed and said: "My lord, Jia is too afraid of the power of those gentry, please forgive me, my lord."
Ye Chen couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and then said:
"Remember one thing after serving filial piety, no matter how powerful the gentry is or how powerful they are, those who obey will live, and those who disobey will be killed without mercy! In this world, there will never be any gentry who disobey my orders. One will kill one, and ten thousand will survive. Kill ten thousand!"
"Yes! My lord!" Guo Jia opened his eyes sharply when he heard this, and then bowed heavily in response.
"My lord, I will leave this matter to the general, and the general promises that no noble gentry will be allowed to cheat!" Han Dang let out a long breath at this time, then bowed and bowed loudly.
At this moment, Han Dang was very excited, even excited.
Because the lord Ye Chen didn't think about the interests of the gentry, but the interests of the common people, and he was going to renovate western Liaoning, and even the whole Youzhou.
This is what a wise and powerful "emperor" should do, instead of scruples on the power of the gentry, compromise and compromise, regardless of the life and death of the people.
In that way, how will Youzhou be stable, peaceful, and prosperous.
Ye Chen heard this, glanced at Han Dang, and then shouted:
"Okay! This matter is up to you to handle. After Fengxiao posts the notice, act immediately. Anyone who obeys should write it down and keep it for future use. Those who don't obey will be searched for the Yellow Turban rebels. If food is found, they will be punished as rebels immediately. The food is moved away, dare to resist, kill without mercy!"
Ye Chen bought grain at twice the market price, and left the gentry with two years' rations for their families, so they couldn't starve to death.
If you don't follow Ye Chen's orders like this, you are against Ye Chen, how could Ye Chen be soft-hearted.
"Yes! My lord!" Hearing this, Han Dang bowed and bowed without hesitation.
"My lord, Jia is going to write the notice now." Guo Jia looked at Ye Chen at this moment, and then bowed down.
"Go." Ye Chen nodded, and then said.
Guo Jia bowed again, and then took Han Dang out of the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
Not long after, a notice about the purchase of grain was posted in Liaoxi City, which caused a sensation in an instant.
XX House.
"Damn it, what does Ye Youzhou mean? Is he trying to break our roots?"
"That's right, the market price is double. Doesn't he know that the price of grain has increased five times now, so there is still no market for the price?"
"He is competing with us again! Send an order to close the door of the mansion tightly and not let anyone enter!"
XX House.
"Thief! Thief! I worked so hard to save up so much food, and half of it was purchased at a high price. He, Ye Youzhou, wanted to rob me of my food with a single notice. Why!"
"We must not sell it. If we sell it, we will lose money. It is hard to catch up with the disaster year. We have hoarded a large amount of food. The price of food will become more expensive in the future. How can we sell it so cheaply?"
"Yes, it can't be sold. Not only can't it be sold, we have to send people to Luoyang to sue Ye Chen. He is corrupt and perverts the law. He is not worthy of being a shepherd in Youzhou!"
XX House.
"This Hussar General is not kind. There is a murderous intent in this order. Although it is not stated clearly, but, if I read it correctly, if my royal family does not follow the notice, it will definitely be in disaster!"
"Champion Hou really dare to use the butcher's knife?"
"If he didn't dare, he wouldn't have issued such a notice as soon as he arrived in western Liaoning..."
"Then what should we do? Is it true that according to the notice, the food is only reserved for the whole family for two years, and the rest is sold to him?"
"Sell, must sell, not only must sell, but also must be sold at the original price, remember, this matter must not be sloppy, otherwise the Wang family will definitely be expelled from Youzhou!"
……
One after another, the gates of the mansions of the gentry were closed, ignoring the notices posted by Ye Chen.
However, at this moment, there were some gentry who were transporting grain to the city lord's mansion, and sold it to Ye Chen at the lowest price.
After Ye Chen got the news, he directly ordered these noble gentry to be taken to the city lord's mansion, where they drank and ate.
When Ye Chen was receiving these gentry who offered to show their favor, Han Dang raised his butcher knife in the city of Liaoxi, and the blood of one family after another of the gentry being killed flowed into rivers.
At first, Han Dang didn't attack Han Dang, whoever thought it would, but a gentry was used to domineering, and even attacked Han Dang's soldiers, and another soldier was shot to death by an arrow from the gentry's thugs, which immediately angered him Han Dang, went straight to the killing spree.
Damn, when defending the city, one by one shrank at home, refusing to contribute. This damn yellow turban army was wiped out, and they all pretended to be coercive, and dared to kill people.
How could Han Dang not be angry.
These gentry who dare to kill people all have their children who are officials in the west of Liaoning, otherwise they would not be so courageous.
Han Dang had some concerns before, but now that he has followed Ye Chen, there is no such concern.
And this is the order Ye Chen gave him, so why didn't he dare to do it.
After Ye Chen got the report from the soldiers, he was furious when he learned that a soldier had been killed, and sent the Samsara Legion over.
All of a sudden, many gentry were frightened, and they dared not resist any more, resisting Ye Chen.
Not only did they honestly hand over the food, but they didn't receive any money.
Unfortunately, they have already been on Guo Jia's blacklist.
Not long after, all the thugs in these families were taken away, and among the children of their families, those who worked in the west of Liaoning were also removed, replaced by those from the families who had been friendly with Ye Chen from the beginning. children.
Of course, these people have all been "interviewed" by Ye Chen. If they are not capable, Ye Chen will not use them.
It was a dark night, with a cool breeze, but mixed with a bit of bloody breath.
Ye Chen's thunderous tactics completely changed the officialdom in western Liaoning, and also attracted applause from the common people.
Because after Ye Chen got the food again, he directly opened the warehouse to release the food.
More than 800% of the [-] million people in the city have no food in their homes, let alone much wealth.
If you want to have enough to eat, you have no choice but government relief.
How could the people not like Ye Chen's decision, how could they be unhappy.
Because all of this appeared so that they could have enough to eat and not starve to death.
The people are grateful, grateful, and moved, so how can they say that Ye Chen is cruel.
Not to mention, the arrival of Ye Chen solved the crisis of the destruction of Liaoxi City.
It can be said that without Ye Chen, once Liaoxi City is destroyed, these common people, even those wealthy gentry, will suffer unimaginable persecution 100%.
Except for those noble gentry families who have been rectified, there is no one in Liaoxi City who does not miss Ye Chen's kindness.
City Lord's Mansion, hall.
After Ye Chen listened to Guo Jia's report on the situation in the city, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and then said: "That's right, that's good, the people's hearts are available..."
As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, a soldier of the Reincarnation Legion rushed in, knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "My lord, General Zhao Yun, General Dianwei, General Gao Shun, General Zhao Meng, have arrived with troops. Liaoxi City!"
Chapter 3 Twelve Rectify Liaodong
Ye Chen couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this.
The Yellow Turbans in Liaodong were emptied in one day...
"Congratulations, my lord, General Zilong, General Dianwei, General Gao Shun, and General Zhao Meng, they must have made great strides all the way, and have wiped out the Yellow Turbans in Liaodong." Guo Jia bowed and said with a smile on his face.
When Han Dang heard this, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then a shocked look appeared in his eyes.
Ye Chen just led the troops out, and Han Dang had already heard about it from Guo Jia, and now, how long has passed, the Yellow Turban rebels in Liaodong have been wiped out, this speed is not something that can be achieved simply by being well equipped of.
"Hahaha, what Feng Xiao said is right, let's go to the east gate!" Ye Chen laughed, and then said.
"Yes! My lord!" Guo Jia and Han Dang all bowed in response, and then followed Ye Chen towards the east gate.
Not long after, Ye Chen brought Han Dang and Guo Jia to the East City Gate.
After a "creak", the east gate of Liaoxi City opened.
"My lord!" Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, and Zhao Meng all knelt on one knee and bowed loudly.
"Swish"
The fourth is Wan Dajun, who also knelt down on one knee in unison for a moment, and bowed loudly:
"Meet the lord!"
The sound was uniform, and the sound shook the sky.
Glancing at the blood-stained battle robes of the four, Ye Chen let out a long breath, then walked a few steps to Zhao Yun, Zhao Meng, Dian Wei, and Gao Shun, helped the four up one by one, and then heavily Said: "Thank you for your hard work."
As soon as Ye Chen's words fell to the ground, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Gao Shun, and Zhao Meng all warmed up in their hearts, and then bowed down and said:
"For the sake of the lord, even if we die, we will have no regrets!"
"Enter the city!" Ye Chen nodded heavily upon hearing this, and then shouted.
