Chapter 598
an outwardly kind but inwardly cruel person!
In everyone's heart, thought of this word.
Liu Xiu coerces Song Yuan and Zhu Yan in front of them. Instead, he says it's OK. He has too thick skin and too dark heart. Such a person is most suitable and difficult to deal with, which makes the major families and businessmen helpless.
You're more cheeky than him. He's more cheeky than you.
You are more cruel than him, he is more cruel than you, and his heart is darker.
More importantly, Liu Xiu is strong enough.
Under various reasons, everyone dare not break hands with Liu Xiu. What Liu Xiu says is what he says.
Song Yuan was the first to say: "Liu Jingzhou, although our song family is not a big family or a big family, Liu Jingzhou needs food, and the Song family is willing to help. My song family provided 20000 stone grain and 5000 gold to support Liu Jingzhou. "
"Hiss!"
When they heard the words, their faces were shocked.
Twenty thousand tons of grain, converted into hundreds of thousands of Jin of grain.
When the Song family takes out so much grain, it will definitely hurt their muscles and bones.
Five thousand gold!
This money is not a small sum.
Twenty thousand stone grain and five thousand gold are big money.
One by one, they were stunned and secretly scolded Song Yuan for raising the price so high. Under such circumstances, if there is too much less than Song Yuan, it is impossible to say.
Liu Xiu had a smile on his face and said, "the Song family is very good. I appreciate it very much. Now there are still some vacant positions in Chang'an city. The Song family can let young and promising disciples become officials. It's not good to always hide and tuck in. "
"Ah
When Song Yuan heard the speech, he couldn't help exclaiming.
There was so much surprise in his eyes.
Liu Xiu said, "why, don't you want to?"
"Yes, yes, thank you for your kindness."
As a businessman, even though he is as rich as his country, he will be suppressed by the government. Now Liu Xiu's light words give the Song family an official position, which is a pie from the sky.
When money and food are used, they can earn more.
But if we miss this opportunity, we will not have it.
Song Yuan bows and bows again. Then he sits down happily. He looks like you Rong Yan, forgetting all the conflicts with Liu Xiu just now.
Zhu Yan also stood up and said: "Liu Jingzhou, although the Zhu family is hard, they can't make Liu Jingzhou's soldiers starve and have no salary. My Zhu family also donated 20000 stone grain and 5000 gold. "
"Good!"
Liu Xiu nodded, looking satisfied.
This time, Liu Xiu did not mention the officials again.
Zhu Yan felt some loss in his heart and secretly regretted it. He thought that if he was the first one to stand up, then he would get the benefit of the Zhu family. What a pity!
Zhu Yan's heart lost, but helpless.
Liu Xiu laughed and said, "the Zhu family and the Song family have expressed their views. What about you?"
"My Lord, I don't have much money and enough food. So we can only take five thousand grain from Liushi. There is not much money and food, but it is the Liu family's wish. "
"Liu Jingzhou, I don't have much food, but I have plenty of money. The ancient family produced 1000 stone grain and 100000 gold. "
"My Xue family gave ten thousand stone grain and three thousand gold."
"Our Zhao family gave us 20000 stone grain and 5000 gold."
....
Everyone in the hall spoke one after another.
No matter they were aristocrats or businessmen, they all gave food and money.
Liu Xiu listened with a bright smile on his face.
In such a big city of Chang'an, although the granary was empty and all the equipment was removed, the aristocratic family and businessmen were still there. In the war years, what these aristocratic families and businessmen were good at was hoarding food and money. If they supported Liu Xiu, everything would be OK.
The problem of food is not a problem at all.
After everyone had counted, Liu Xiu looked at the assistant officials who counted. At this time, the assistant official said: "my Lord, the food donated by the major families totaled 430000 stones, and the money totaled 320000 gold."
Liu Xiu's eyes twinkled after listening.
430000 stone grain!
I'm afraid that the number of Cao Cao's removal is not the same.
The family of Chang'an city is not simple!
Liu Xiu stood up, bowed his hands to those present, and said, "I have recorded your friendship."
In a word, people here are still short-sighted.
They look at Liu Xiu and look forward to his next words. They all paid such a high price. If only the Song family gained profits, it would be a big loss. They just wanted to get benefits from Liu Xiu.
After Liu Xiu sat down, he said, "if you trust and support me so much, I can't let you suffer! I promise that as long as Chang'an city is under my rule, Chang'an city will be exempt from taxes for all merchants in the next three years. Second, many officials in Chang'an city are missing, and many of them are from Cao Cao. Therefore, if there is a vacancy, the major families can report it. My official will arrange Xun Qiu to select one by one, and then arrange to work everywhere. "After listening to the two decisions, everyone had a bright smile on his face.
Big money!
Tax exemption for three years!
For businessmen, if the government does not collect taxes, they will earn a lot. They can transfer all the money they have paid in a few months instead of a year.
Most importantly, people from all major families can become officials.
At the moment, everyone looked at Liu Xiu with hot eyes.
If they complained about Liu Xiu before and wanted to strip him of his skin, now they want to give him up as a Bodhisattva.
Because Liu Xiu came, they got benefits.
For businessmen and aristocratic families, the so-called cheekiness is nothing.
The most important thing is interests.
Liu Xiu is to see this point, dare lion big mouth.
Liu Xiu, in particular, was exempt from taxes for three years, allowing people from all major families to become officials. Two conditions have tied the merchant and his family to Liu Xiu's warship. Only by following Liu Xiu can they have these advantages. Once Cao Cao kills again, if they don't do their best to help Liu Xiu resist, then all the benefits will come to nothing.
This is Liu Xiu's calculation.
Benefit binding!
Only the combination of interests and interests is the most reliable.
Liu Xiu looked at the happy faces of the families, waved his hand and said, "you guys, the army is short of food and money. It's a long way to rely on Hanzhong for supplies. So you have to work hard on this. "
"Don't worry, Liu Jingzhou. All this is on us."
"Liu Jingzhou is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. We will go all out to help Liu Jingzhou."
"Neither food nor money is a problem. We should do our best."
One by one, they promised to leave, and then they left one after another to prepare food and money. That afternoon, a steady stream of food and money was sent to the barracks.
The assistant officials in charge of receiving food and money were recorded bit by bit.
It lasted two days.
All the food and money, all in place.
At this time, Xun Qiu was also very busy, because he wanted to count the vacancies in Chang'an City and receive the reports from the major families. Xun Qiu was busy, and he admired Liu Xiu's methods. This kind of wrist can be regarded as binding everyone to death, so that they are willing to work for Liu Xiu.
In the camp!
Liu Xiu listened to Wen pin's report and said that the food and money had been arranged properly, with a bright smile on his face.
Liu Xiu looked at Wen pin and said, "general Wen, the exit of Ziwu road must be guarded. As long as there is a Meridian Road, we can advance, attack and retreat, so that we can echo Liangzhou from afar. "
Wenpin nodded and said, "don't worry, my Lord. At the end of the day, the general has arranged 3000 soldiers to guard the Meridian Road. Along the way, there were five li sentry posts and ten li sentry posts, all of which were assigned soldiers. Once there is a war, news will be sent back immediately. Cao Cao's attempt to attack Ziwu road is impossible. This time, Cao Cao took the initiative to withdraw from Chang'an. He wanted to get the LORD into trouble, but he was self defeating. "
Liu Xiu had a bright smile on his face and said, "Cao Cao has really lost a lot this time. He withdrew to baling garrison in the east of Chang'an, which was the biggest mistake. Now Chang'an no longer belongs to Cao Cao. "
Wenpin reported other government affairs, and then turned around and stepped down.
