Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 34
Although they said they were sorry, the eyes of Liu Hu, Li Tong and Deng A were full of pride.

It seems to be telling Zheng Ping: What can you do with us?

Liu Hu grabbed the white water jar and poured a large bowl of white water into the porcelain bowl, he couldn't help being stunned.

"Master Xiancheng's wine is quite weak." Liu Hu laughed, and drank the white water in the porcelain bowl in one gulp.

The next moment, Liu Hu looked suspiciously at the porcelain bowl in his hand, and then at the white water jar.

What is light wine, this is simply white water that has been boiled and then cooled!

Li Tong and Deng A glanced around and saw that there was no difference between white water jars and porcelain bowls on the table, and they were puzzled.

"If you're not thirsty, don't waste it."

"The weather is not beautiful, the rain is scarce, and the well water is dry, save what you can."

"Sit in."

Zheng Ping picked up the feather fan beside the table, and lightly fanned his shoulders, still gentle and elegant.

Liu Hu, Li Tong and Deng A looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Zheng Ping's reaction was so peaceful, so peaceful that Liu Hu and the others thought they were confused.

Equally astonished, there were the rest of the rich and powerful businessmen present.

Liu Hu, Li Tong and Deng A were so rude and provocative, yet Zheng Ping was not angry at all?
Seeing Liu Hu and the other three entered the table, Zheng Ping spoke slowly:
"The county lord is worried about farming, and has gone to the countryside today to inspect the growth of the crops in the field."

"Today's meeting will be hosted by me."

"I invite you here this time to discuss this year's autumn harvest."

"This year's Gaotang County is not peaceful."

"The yellow turban thieves headed by Xu Qi are preparing to gather crowds to grab grain during the autumn harvest. According to reports from spies, there are nearly 5000 yellow turban thieves who robbed grain this year."

As soon as this word comes out.

Immediately, there was a great wave of joy among the crowd.

"Nearly 5000 people? How could there be so many?"

"With this force, even Gaotang County can attack, right?"

"I only have two hundred soldiers, how can I resist?"

"Master Xiancheng, you can't ignore it!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Your Majesty the County Prime Minister, you have to go on a campaign, but you can't let the Yellow Turbans harm our crops."

"."

Some people are horrified, some are anxious, and some have doubts.

Especially Liu Hu, Li Tong and Deng A approached and whispered.

"This Zheng Xiancheng, isn't he trying to scare us?"

"Same as the previous Gao Tangling, he must want us to apportion money and food for the suppression of bandits."

"It's really greedy! The previous Gao Tangling ordered a banquet anyway, but this Zheng County Chancellor actually let us drink white water!"

"Don't worry! Let's wait and see what happens, and see what he says."

Liu Hu and the others looked at Zheng Ping with some unkind eyes.

After the voices of everyone's discussion subsided, Zheng Ping opened his mouth slowly, and his tone could not hear the slightest anxiety and fear of the Yellow Turban Bandits:

"I propose a plan, everyone to consider." After a pause, Zheng Ping changed his words again: "It's not considered to be considered, it is considered to be a favor for me."

"To put it bluntly, all the crops in Gaotang County this year were harvested by the county government, and all the grain was transported into the city."

"Use the tactics of fortifying the wall and clearing the field to deal with the yellow scarf thieves grabbing food."

"Wait until the county lord repels the yellow scarves, and then return them to everyone."

"After I finished speaking, do you have any doubts?"

As soon as this plan came out, the fifty powerful and wealthy businessmen present, including Hua Ji who had been sitting upright all the time, were stunned.

All the crops in Gaotang County are allocated and harvested by the county government, and they have to be transported into the city?
Although Zheng Ping promised to return the food after repelling the yellow turban bandits, can the food eaten be spit out again?
Immediately, a strong and strong man stood up and retorted: "My Chen family's field still has more than a thousand tenant farmers. The county magistrate took away the grain. What do they eat? What's more, does the magistrate have enough people to harvest the crops? "

"Good question!" Zheng Ping looked at the strong man in front of him, and said without hesitation: "The county government is indeed short of manpower, so I have to temporarily borrow tenants from you. The food consumed by the tenants will be deducted from their rations It’s equivalent to the county government collecting this year’s rent for you.”

The strong man immediately objected: "This is impossible! These tenant farmers also have debts on weekdays, and they will settle the accounts uniformly during the autumn harvest. Without my Chen family's steward, how can they settle the accounts?"

Zheng Ping chuckled: "It's because I didn't think carefully! How about this, you will also lend out your own stewards, and the county will also appoint scattered officials to assist, and there will never be a slight error in the accounts."

The strong man laughed back angrily: "Does the county magistrate still need to borrow my Chen family's private soldiers to hunt for thieves?"

Zheng Ping clapped his hands: "The Chen family is a happy person! Hu Zhao, please note that Chen Ying from Yuanshan Township is willing to lend all the fields, tenants, servants, diners, private soldiers, cattle and sheep, etc. of the Chen family. Horses, weapons, armor, in response to Gaotang County's government order to strengthen the walls and clear the country."

"This act of benevolence and virtue will set an example for all towns!"

Hu Zhao swiped the pen, quickly wrote it down, and then handed the pen to Chen Ying: "Chen Ying, let's draw!"

Chen Ying's pupils shrank suddenly.

Draw a bet?

I draw a bet!

Want my Chen family's foundation in a few words?

This trickery is too obvious and too much!
"Zheng Ping, how dare you play tricks on me?" Chen Ying was furious, and called Zheng Ping by his real name.

But the next moment, Chen Ying felt a slap coming, and his whole body was slapped.

"You are so white, how dare you yell at the magistrate! If you dare to speak nonsense again, I will kill you!" Zhang Feihuan stared angrily, and his tower-like body stood in the banquet hall.

Chen Ying was slapped on the mouth, making his whole body dizzy, and his right cheek swelled up at a visible speed.

This move instantly silenced everyone present.

Even Liu Hu, Li Tong, and Deng A couldn't help but bow their heads in admiration when they met Zhang Fei's eyes.

"Yide, you are impulsive!"

"Since it is a discussion, there will naturally be different voices."

"How can you slap your mouth at will?"

Zheng Ping scolded, but his eyes no longer looked at Chen Ying who fell to the ground.

Zhang Fei snorted coldly: "Today, Mr. hosted a banquet in honor of the heroes from the four villages. Even though three of them were late for an hour, Mr. was never angry. Such a magnanimity is worthy of the mind of a famous official."

"Mr. also said that the Yellow Turbans were a disaster, and he intended to fight against the Yellow Turbans with the tactics of fortifying the wall and clearing the field. Then he proposed to temporarily borrow the fields, tenant farmers, boy servants, and family soldiers of the heroes for unified deployment, so as not to be captured by the Yellow Turbans. It will only increase the power of the Yellow Turbans."

"But Chen Ying thought that the master was playing tricks on him, and he even uttered wild words and called him by his name."

"Mr. is capable, but I, Zhang Fei, can't stand it!"

"The son of Mr. Kang Cheng, a famous official in Beihai, has always been famous for his faith. Would he still play with a mere white body?"

"Everyone, shouldn't I slap him?"

　It's not that I don't want to do more, but I went to the hospital and got recruited.

　　Everyone, prevent the flu.
