The Three Kingdoms: A vicious plan was offered, and Liu Bei was stunned!

Chapter 174: The Legalists took the food by force, and the harvest was rich, Luo Yuan was anxious

The second and third brothers on the list could not understand Du Mao's train of thought at all.

Such a huge fortune is going to be given away for nothing, and you still want to travel around the world with Luo Yuan?

Isn’t he unhappy about bullying men and women in his hometown?

They wouldn't do that!
Everyone feels that Du Mao will regret it sooner or later.

However, Du Mao ignored the two guys and said, "You know nothing. I am a talented person, but I just lack a wise leader."

'

My master is obviously a wise leader!

If you can't even see this, you have no right to talk to yourself.

When Du Mao arrived at Luo Yuan's army, he was actually observing. He was a disciple of the Legalists, and the most important things to him were rules and order. Luo Yuan's army had a complete range of systems, which were well organized and based on evidence.

Various regulations make it clear what to do when you get up.

This place is an ideal place for a Legalist disciple like him.

Luo Yuan must also be a Legalist, otherwise how could traces of the law be seen everywhere?
Since Shang Yang, the Legalists have no more powerful figures, and since Dong Zhongshu, the Legalists have become the representatives of tyranny.

But here in Luo Yuan, there is law everywhere!
Du Mao is simply enjoying his life here.

Is family property important? Compared with ideals, it is nothing.

What would it be like if we could use the law to govern the country in the future?
The gentry know nothing about law. In their hands, the law is nothing more than a tool to bully others.

Du Mao didn't even look at the two young masters. They were both losers, so how could they know the ambitions of the phoenix.

You dare not even imagine what I will achieve in the future!

Du Mao walked out of the camp where the hostages were detained. When he got outside, he saw teams of soldiers training. The rows of soldiers were standing in neat rows, forming a single line from left to right.

Orderliness is the law, order is the law!

In Du Mao's eyes, Luo Yuan's military camp was full of law, but it was not the kind of simple and rough law enforcement where those who disobeyed would be beaten.

But it is an orderly, gentle and serious law.

When these soldiers are training, even when they are standing still, they have a sense of majesty.

Du Mao looked at it with fascination, this is the law, even the First Emperor is not as good as him.

Xu Shu found Du Mao and said, "My Lord has ordered you to go to the city and ask those nobles to pay their bills."

Du Mao smiled and said, "That's exactly what I meant."

This job was too easy for him, as he knew exactly how wealthy each family was.

Du Mao immediately went to Yingchuan, took the account books and went door to door to ask the gentry to settle the bills.

"Du Mao, you... have surrendered to Luo Yuan!"

"That's my lord, don't talk nonsense. Your family needs to give 36,000 dan of grain, will you give it to him?" Du Mao looked at the other party with a brush in his hand. If you don't give it to him, I will turn around and kill your grandson!

Du Mao defected to Luo Yuan, and a traitor appeared among the Yingchuan gentry.

"What if I don't give it to you?"

"You won't give it to me?" Du Mao sneered, "Your grandson and granddaughter are in the military camp. If you don't give it to me, I will make your grandson wash clothes and pay for it, and let your granddaughter wait on the soldiers to sleep, and let her serve in the army to pay off the debt. In short, there are many ways. My master will not kill people. Just do everything according to the law!"

difficult?

nonexistent!

As a member of the gentry, Du Mao knew very well where the weaknesses of these gentry were.

Let these young masters of the aristocratic families do laundry, and let the daughters of wealthy families become military prostitutes and slaves. Does the family still have any shame and can still be called aristocratic family?
The whole family hall is brought into disgrace.

"Only 36,000 dan of food is not much, and you have it at home. Can you bear to do this?"

I'm so angry I'm going to explode!'

It's not human!'

"I'll give it to you." Du Mao nodded with satisfaction. "That's it. You still want to argue with me? Don't I know how rich your family is? After all, I'm also a local. I hope you can cooperate with me. My master will invite you to dinner later. You must come."

After the door was closed and the guests were sent away, the patriarch of the noble family started to curse Du Mao at home, starting from Du Mao's ancestors and going all the way down.

He might not give it even if Luo Yuan came, because he wanted to control Luo Yuan and bet that Luo Yuan would not kill anyone.

It was also because of this gambling nature that these nobles refused to give food after receiving Luo Yuan's letters.

But Du Mao is different.

He is a local, he knows exactly how much wealth each family has, and he is also shameless.

"Your family spends less, and with the three thousand koku for accommodation, it's only six thousand dan. Will you give it to me?"

"What if I don't give it to you?"

"Oh, your concubine is in the army. If you don't give her to you, you don't want her anymore, right? It's just right. I can sell your concubine. It seems that this concubine gave birth to a son for you, right? I will tell your son that you forced his mother to death. Do you think he will send you to death in the future? It seems that you only have one son, right?"

"Du Mao, you are such a bastard, I'll give it to you!"

"That's right. Why are you being so stubborn with me? I don't know the situation in your family." Du Mao was satisfied and asked people to load the food: "Our army will not take more food from you, but we can't take less either. This is the rule!"

Then there was another round of cursing starting from eighteen generations of the ancestors.

Du Mao said, Lao Tzu is a disciple of Legalism, can I believe that?
He didn't care even though his own father died.

Only you Confucianism-study pigs and dogs care about these things.

My disciples of the Fa school put the law first.

Luo Yuan and these nobles wanted food, 30,000 shi, but that was just a basic amount, just the cost of simple accommodation and three meals, but could the consumption of the nobles be the basis?

You have to eat something else, use something else, and if others consume those things, you have to consume them too.

This is the aristocracy, those who don’t dare to enjoy themselves and those who compete with each other for wealth are ordinary people. They are just losers.

In Yingchuan, Du Mao deducted 160,000 dan of grain from Luo Yuan in one day.

"Don't be sad, your son eats well in the army and has gained weight!"

"Really?"

"How could I lie to you? Let's go back to the army to eat. I will thank you for that."

"..."

Seeing the other party was confused, Du Mao quickly comforted him: "My lord didn't kill your son, and took your food, so how can I not thank you? Don't worry, my lord is a famous scholar in the world, how can I massacre the nobles?"

After saying that, Du Mao took the food and went to the next house.

In the army!

Xu Shu was dumbfounded when he saw the food that was continuously being delivered. There was too much food and there was no place to store it in the army, so they could only pile it up on the open space.

Like a mountain.
Xu Shu said in panic: "There are too many lords, we can't take them all away!"

Luo Yuan only had a thousand men at his disposal, including the refugees under Liao Hua.
Luo Yuan did not invite Liao Hua to join, but his men were reluctant to leave once they arrived.

Now that there is more food, Liao Hua's men called all those who had not come yet.

There is plenty of food here, you can eat as much as you want, and the food is pretty good!

He was just short of saying he wanted to join.

When the refugees had no food to eat, they worked hard for Luo Yuan and ate until they were full.

"Damn, Yingchuan is so rich!"

Luo Yuan also underestimated the local wealth.

Now that I think about it, it’s no wonder that Kong Ming and his people fled to Nanyang to live in seclusion. It makes sense.

Economically developed areas are developed.
