Chapter 29 Duke Xuande is the Lord of Humanity and Righteousness

Chapter 29 Duke Xuande is the Lord of Humanity and Righteousness
Jian Yong gave them two hours, but it didn't take that long at all.

But a little more than an hour later, all the big families in Zhending City rushed to Wang's house, waiting for Jian Yong's order.

At this time Jian Yong was lying on the couch, one of the two beautiful servant girls pinched his feet and beat his legs, and the other held instant noodles, that is, a feather fan, and gently fanned Jian Yong.

It is worth mentioning that the fan at this time was not used to cool off, but a kind of ritual vessel.

Seeing a group of Patriarchs arrive, Jian Yong has no intention of getting up.

Just kidding, he acts briefly and peacefully throughout his life, never yielding to others.

Even in the original history, the entire Shu Han only worked on etiquette when facing Zhuge Liang.

What's more, right now I'm Daozu, and these patriarchs are fish, so he naturally let himself go.

Seeing Jian Yong lying on the couch with his eyes closed, without any intention of getting up, the Patriarch of the Wang family coughed dryly, walked up and smiled apologetically, "Mr. Jian, all the patriarchs have arrived."

After hearing this sentence, Jian Yong opened his eyes slightly, but still did not get up.

"Since it's all here, then I won't let you out of the circle. Xuande has an order, ordering you to wait within ten days to raise 50 stones of grain and grass for military use."

Jian Yong didn't even bother to use any excuses, he just opened his mouth to ask for it, and it was the lion who opened his mouth.

50 stone!

This number almost scared the Patriarchs to death!

He, Liu Xuande, has a big tone, and he is not afraid to push himself to death!

One stone of grain is 120 catties, and 50 stones is 6000 million catties of grain!
Although a catty at the end of the Han Dynasty was only about half a catty of later generations, there were still 3000 million catties. According to two catties of grain per person per day, these 50 stones were enough to feed an army of [-] for almost a year.

But he, Liu Xuande, has no more than a thousand people under his command now, why do he need so much food?
It must be known that when Lin Chao came out of Anxi, he only contributed eight thousand shi of grain, which was enough to feed him for so long.

"Mr. Jian, there is absolutely no such thing as 50 shi, even if you kill us!"

The head of the Wang family flatly refused, not because he was not afraid of Liu Bei, but because he really couldn't get it out.

The food stored in these big families is only 50 shi at most. How can the twenty or so people present come up with [-] shi of grain.

Not only the Patriarch of the Wang family, but other people also kept shaking their heads with bitter faces, expressing that they really didn't have so much food.

The 50 shi that Jian Yong said was just a sky-high asking price, and he didn't really intend to get so much.

"Then how much can you support?" Jian Yong asked.

Many Patriarchs whispered to each other for a while and began to discuss.Jian Yong took his time and let them discuss.

After a while, many patriarchs reached an agreement, and finally the patriarch of the Wang family said: "Mr. Jian, we can only give 15 shi at most if we spend all of our family resources. Please forgive me, Mr. Jian!"

15 shi is not a lot, but Jian Yong is very dissatisfied with this figure.

So when he heard this sentence, Jian Yong suddenly opened his eyes, stood up from the couch, and said with a sneer to everyone: "There are only 15 stones, so you can be bullied when you are Duke Xuande!"

All the patriarchs dared not dare, thinking that the 15 shi had almost emptied more than half of the food stored in the mansion, and if it was any more, they would have lost their entire family fortune.

"Mr. Jian, it's not that we don't want to support Duke Xuande, but that there are really only so many!" The Patriarch of the Wang family smiled bitterly, "Even if it is 15 shi, we have to allow some time, let me collect it slowly." .”

"Impossible, I can only give you ten days." Jian Yong rebuffed, "It is understandable that 50 shi of grain cannot be produced, but at least 30 shi must be provided. The minimum is given. If it is less than 30, you can explain it to those refugees later.”

Thinking of the horror of those tens of thousands of refugees, all the Patriarchs fell silent.

But 30 shi of grain is indeed not available.

Seeing that everyone's faces were not good-looking, Jian Yong smiled and said: "Mr. Xuande is the Lord of benevolence and righteousness. Naturally, I can't bear to see you in a desperate situation. It doesn't matter if you can't afford the food, just use the goods to offset it. But you remember, Within ten days, at least 20 shi of grain, and goods equivalent to [-] grain, or you will bear the consequences!"

All the Patriarchs almost gritted their teeth, cursing in their hearts, but they still had to smile on their faces.

How is Liu Xuande's actions different from bandits?
Lord of benevolence and righteousness, I bah!

"Mr. Jian, I really can't make up so much, so please ask Mr. Jian to make some more."

The Patriarch of the Wang family put on an old face, and asked again.

"It's absolutely impossible." Jian Yong didn't follow him at all, "Either you have 30 shi of grain, or you explain it to the tens of thousands of people yourself. How to choose, you should think carefully. I'm leaving!"

After Jian Yong finished speaking, without waiting for everyone to express their opinions, he walked out with a flick of his sleeves.

The patriarchs had no choice but to turn around and cup their hands in the direction where Jian Yong left, "Congratulations to Mr. Jian!"

The Patriarch of the Wang family was a little more careful, and sent the two beautiful maidservants who had been serving Jian Yong to Jian Yong's residence.

In the future, Liu Bei should be the master of the house. It is always right to make friends with Liu Bei's confidants first.

"Everyone, Duke Xuande only gave me ten days to wait, so I should hurry back and prepare." The Patriarch of the Wang Family turned his head and said to everyone.

One of them was full of anger and said: "Brother Wang, do we really want to give Liu Xuande 30 shi of grain!"

"Of course you don't have to." The Patriarch of the Wang family sneered, "But it's not this Mr. Jian who will visit after ten days, but tens of thousands of refugees."

At this moment, the untouchables who were least regarded by them became a sharp knife on their heads.

But if there is any carelessness, this sharp blade will swing down, cut them to pieces, and kill them to pieces!

"Liu Xuande tricked the people to deal with us. I really can't swallow this breath. How about we report it to the envoy and let the envoy decide for us?"

Changshan County is the state government. Although there is a prefect, it is under the direct jurisdiction of the governor Liu Yan, so it is not wrong for them to report to the governor.

"No, in what name do you report to the envoy?"

The head of the Wang family sneered at this person's remarks, and this person was already classified as an idiot.

"Naturally... naturally..."

This person thought hard, but couldn't find a suitable reason.

"When the tens of thousands of refugees gather together, it is easy to stir up civil uprisings. If there is a trouble, they will rebel like Zhang Chun in the north. And Liu Xuande has done a good job in appeasing him. It is too late for the court to reward him. How can he punish him?"

The Patriarch of the Wang family looked at the crowd and said, "It's me, if we don't hand over the food in time, and Liu Xuande will be accused of stirring up a civil uprising, I'm afraid it will be difficult to save our lives."

Hearing this, everyone understood that no matter whether it was a private fight or a complaint, they had already lost completely from the moment the refugees entered the city.

No matter how hard they struggle, they can only be easily manipulated by Liu Bei, and they have no power to fight back.

Terrible Liu Xuande!
 On the first day of the month, I have the audacity to ask everyone for a recommendation ticket!
