Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

About half an hour later, Chen Gong came, and I said, "Sir, I'm not going to bed yet, I'm going to sleep now."

"Huiyi, I can't sleep, so I'm here to discuss with Huiyi."

"What's the matter, sir, to make him so anxious"?

"Huiyi's treasury has only about 15 shi of grain, which is only enough for the refugees for half a month. If they save food, they can last for a month. They can't wait for a bumper harvest in the coming year"?

"Don't worry, sir, let me figure out a way."

After talking, the two fell into deep thought, and after a while I said, "Can Gongtai borrow food from the aristocratic family?"

Chen Gong thought for a while and said, "Yes, yes, I will find out tomorrow."

"Okay, I will trouble you sir, sir, go to bed early, there are things to deal with tomorrow."

"Okay, Huiyi should go to bed early too."

We came to the warehouse early the next morning, and the government servants moved out the grain early, preparing to wait for the refugees to come to collect the grain.

Chen Gong kept records and records, Gao Shun and Zhang He distributed food, and Guan Hai led the soldiers to maintain law and order.

I advertised next to me and said, "There are only [-] days of rations to be distributed today. I hope everyone will persist. Those who have no rations after ten days can come to pick up rations. We are now recruiting strong and strong people to join the army. If you are interested, you can come to the government office to sign up in three days. A good man will be a man." Defend the family and defend the country, seeking fame and wealth, honoring the ancestors, I hope everyone will go back and tell the folks in the village to tell each other."

After a tiring day, everyone went back to sleep without saying anything.

After two days of rest, I called everyone to the government office to discuss matters.Seeing that everyone was here, I said, "It has basically stabilized now. Now we need to calm people's hearts. The hearts of the refugees have been subdued, but the local people are not returning. I wonder if everyone can do something good"?

Chen Gong said, "Relax policies, reduce taxes, maintain law and order, and the people will naturally return to their hearts."

"Okay, I will issue an announcement tomorrow that the common people will only be charged [-]% of their taxes."

"If Huiyi does this, the treasury will have no food to store, and I'm afraid it won't last long"?

Gao Shun also came out and said, "That's right, Huiyi still has to recruit troops, how about the food?"

I said, "Shanren has his own seconds, let's wait and see."

If you have anything else to say, let's plan together today.

Guan Hai said, "When I got along with those government soldiers, I found that there are many people who steal, rape and play tricks, and who do not obey military discipline."

"Okay, Guan Hai, now I appoint you as the commander of the army, to lead the army, to get rid of the dross and keep the essence."

Guan Hai would never have dreamed that he would be appointed as a military commander as a bandit.So he knelt down excitedly and said, "Thank you, my lord, my subordinates are willing to saddle my lord with all my heart and soul."

I stepped forward to help him up and said, "Guan Sima will do more for the people in the future."

"Yes, the subordinate obeys."

"Brother Gao and Brother Zhang, do you have any good suggestions?"

None of them spoke, so I continued, "Since there is nothing else to do, I will now appoint Zhang He as the Army Sima to lead the soldiers recruited tomorrow. Guards. Mr. Gongtai is the military adviser to command all things in Xiangping."

Chen Gong said, "Thank you Huiyi, I will definitely do my best."

Gao Shun knelt down and said, "Thank you, my lord, I will follow you to the death."

Zhang He clasped his fists and said, "Thank you General, Jun Yi tried his best to build an iron-blooded army for the General."

"Fortunately, with everyone here, great things can be accomplished. Everyone goes down to prepare, and Mr. Gongtai stays."

After everyone left, I said to the public platform, "Is there any clue about Mr. borrowing food?"

"There are currently three major families in Xiangping, a branch of the Wang family in Taiyuan County, a branch of the Yuan family in Ruyang, Runan, and a branch of the Wuji Zhen family in Zhongshan. At present, these three families are the largest families in Xiangping, controlling all the small families in the vicinity of Xiangping." .

"Then I'll hold a banquet tonight and invite them to come. Is it okay to borrow food?"

"Huiyi can do it this way, let's do it like this, I'll go down and prepare the banquet first."

"Okay, Mr. Lao Lao."

Sending off Chen Gong, thinking about the appointment just now, Zhang He and Chen Gong are now in a wait-and-see state, Guan Hai and Gao Shun have been subdued, it seems that there are still a few major things to do in order to subdue their hearts.

I found Guan Hai and said to him, "Send some people to inform the Yuan family, Wang family, Zhen family, and other small families, and say that I am going to take office tonight for a banquet, and I hope they will come."

"Okay, don't worry, my lord, I guarantee that none of them will come tonight."

"Okay, let's go".

At night, the backyard of the government office is extremely lively, and Guan Hai welcomes guests at the door.

The small aristocratic family arrived early, and now there are only three major families left.

"When Zhen's family arrives, a pair of gemstones and jade pendants will accompany the gift."

"When Yuan's family arrives, the gift comes with two thousand coins."

"When the Wang family arrives, the gift comes with a thousand coins."

The three families arrived, the guests took their seats, and the banquet began.

"Let me congratulate Xiangping Ling and take office. I will ask Xiangping Ling to take care of me in the future."

"It's easy to talk, easy to talk, come and eat what you should eat and drink what you should drink."

After drinking for three rounds, I stood up and said, "Everyone, I just took office in Xiangping and encountered a little trouble. I hope you can help me."

The people below echoed and said, "Xiangping Ling is very polite. If you have anything to say, just say it. As long as we can do it, we will definitely help."

"Come here for a drink. Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want everyone here to lend me some food. I wonder if everyone is willing to help?"

I saw the people whispering among the people below, and after a while the Patriarch of the Wang family came out and said, "I don't want to hide the fact that Xiangping ordered my family to have little food left, so I'm really sorry."

I asked, "How much can I borrow?"

The head of the Wang family said, "Since the Xiangping order is really difficult, we have to borrow it. My Wang family is willing to give five hundred stones to the adults for free."

"Good! Good! I wonder if everyone sitting here is the same?"

The Yuan family said, "I am willing to send two thousand stones to Xiangping Order,"

The rest of the small families echoed and said, "I'm willing to give fifty shi, I'm willing to give a hundred shi...".

Looking at these aristocratic families below, I sneered and said, "Everyone is a good citizen of the big man. I am here to thank you all for coming to make a record in the party"?

The group of people below shamelessly echoed, "Thank you Xiangping Order, this is what we should do."

"Then I don't know when you will send the food"?
