Reborn in the Three Kingdoms

text

The Liao family in Luoyang is regarded as the gate of the gentry, and there are many influential figures in the scholastic circle from their ancestors. However, the Liao family is a little different from other gentry families. Since the Western Han Dynasty, the Liao family has been operating industries in Luoyang, a prosperous place in the world. The industries involved include rice, salt, iron, and weapons. Today, the scale of the Liao family's industries has become quite large, and the Liao family's branches have spread all over the world. Each state is one of the few big families in the world today that are as rich as a country. The four states under Chen Chu's control also have the Liao family's property, and the business situation is still very good.

There are four richest families in the world, of which only the Liao family is a noble family. The other three are the Li family, the Fan family and the Wei family. He developed an ambiguous relationship with Zhang Fei; the Fan family and the Wei family are now tied to Cao Cao, Wei Du of the Wei family helped Chen Chu a lot at first, but today he is no longer a stranger, which is really frustrating emotion.

The current Patriarch of the Liao family is Liao Tong. This man is less than 30 years old and is very smart and capable. In him, the characteristics of a businessman are stronger, and he looks down on those noble family members who pretend to be noble, although he himself was born in a noble family.

The location of the Liao Family Courtyard is a bit special, unlike the noble families competing to set up their homes on Suzaku Street, which is the representative of the upper class, but built a huge courtyard on the deserted Xuanwu Street, the scale is second only to the general who is also on Xuanwu Street government. [

On this day, Liao Tong called all the important figures of the Liao family in Luoyang for a meeting, and Liao Tuo, who had saved Chen Chu's life at a critical moment with a group of people, was also present.

"Everyone, during this period of time, we in Luoyang have had a lot of major incidents! First, Yuan Shao was cut off by the general, and then there was an assassination incident! But fortunately, it didn't have much impact on our Liao family...." Sitting in the chair Liao Tong was talking in the seat. Liao Tong was not tall, with fair complexion, he seemed to seldom see the sun, he had no beard, his eyes were as deep as water, and his right thumb was always turning an iron ring on the index finger involuntarily. .

The people sitting at the bottom are all the important crew members of the Liao family, including everyone in the Liao family, and most of them have foreign surnames.Everyone is attentive and respectful, but there is one exception, this person is Liao Tuo, Liao Tuo is frowning slightly, a little restless and worried.

Liao Tong said something earlier, and then got to the point.His eyes fell on Liao Tuo who was fidgeting, and he called out, "Uncle Tang."

Liao Tuo was startled, and quickly stood up, cupped his fists respectfully towards Liao Tong and said, "Patriarch."

Liao Tong smiled gently, "My uncle is my elder, so there is no need to be so polite!"

"Don't dare! Don't dare!" Liao Tuo repeatedly said.

Liao Tong twirled the iron ring on his index finger, and said flatly: "You dare to entangle a group of people to make trouble, what else are you afraid to do!"

Liao Tuo felt a chill in his heart, and quickly knelt down to plead guilty, saying: "I have acted recklessly, and I ask the Patriarch to punish the family law!" After saying that, he kowtowed to the ground, not daring to straighten up, and complained endlessly in his heart.

Liao Tong smiled coldly, "You are the general's savior now, I'm just a commoner, how dare I use family law against you!"

"I am a member of the Liao family in life, and a ghost of the Liao family in death! Please punish the family master with family law!"

Liao Tong's expression softened, and he said in a harmonious voice: "I know Tang Shu's loyalty, get up."

"Thank you Patriarch!" Liao Tong kowtowed, then stood up, with his head down, standing cautiously.

Liao Tong glanced at Liao Tuo, and then raised his voice to the people next to him: "Tang uncle's impulsive behavior this time may bring unexpected benefits to our Liao family." Hearing this, everyone immediately discussed.

Seeing the noisy scene below, Liao Tong frowned, and an extremely vicious-looking guard beside him immediately shouted: "Quiet!!"

Everyone's heart shuddered, and they quickly closed their mouths. The scene immediately became quiet, and a needle could be heard.

Liao Tong glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "I invited you here today to announce something.

From now on, all the stores in our Liao family will offer discounts to Beijun, all goods will be sold at half price, and the teahouse and restaurant will be completely free to Beijun! "

Everyone was taken aback.A shopkeeper in charge of the restaurant came out and said: "Patriarch, if this is the case, even though our Liao family has strong financial resources, we may not be able to last long!"

Liao Tong turned the iron ring on his index finger and asked, "How do you say that?"

"The North Zheng Army has hundreds of thousands of troops in Luoyang. If the restaurant is completely free to the Zheng Bei Army, I'm afraid...!" Although he didn't finish his sentence, everyone understood what he meant.Except for Liao Tong and Liao Tuo, everyone nodded in agreement.

Liao Tong chuckled, seeing everyone's bewildered expressions, he felt a sense of accomplishment deep in his heart, and what he liked most was the feeling that everyone was drunk and I was alone.His eyes fell on Liao Tuo inadvertently, and when he saw his thoughtful expression, he frowned immediately, and a feeling of displeasure flashed across his heart.

Withdrawing his gaze, he glanced at the crowd. Everyone knew that their Patriarch was about to speak, and immediately stared at Liao Tong intently.

Liao Tong smiled slightly, and said: "What Li shopkeeper said is not wrong, but he equated the Zhengbei army with other princes' armies." Everyone was puzzled at once, thinking to themselves: Is there something wrong with this?Isn't the Northern Army not the army of the princes?

Liao Tong seemed to have seen what everyone was thinking, and said firmly: "The Northern Army is not an army of princes, but a king who can win the world!"

Everyone was startled and looked at Liao Tong with suspicious eyes.

However, Liao Tong didn't continue to explain, "That's all I said, you just do what I say! You will gradually understand in the future!"

Although there were many questions in everyone's mind, since Liao Tong said so, they couldn't ask any more questions. "Yes." Everyone agreed.

At this moment, a nurse ran in anxiously.Liao Tong frowned, feeling displeased.

"Patriarch, General, the General's envoy has arrived!"

Liao Tong was startled, then overjoyed, and asked anxiously, "Where is the envoy now?"

"The villain has invited him to the back hall!"

"Good! You did a good job!", Liao Tong repeatedly praised.The nurse had a happy expression on his face.

Liao Tong walked quickly towards the back hall, took two steps, stopped suddenly, turned around and said to everyone: "You all go down, do as I say!"

"Yes." Everyone agreed together.

After Liao Tong explained, he turned around and walked out of the hall quickly, heading towards the back hall.The only ones who followed him were the trusted guard and the nursing home who came to report.

At the same time, in the General's Mansion, Chen Chu was also discussing matters with Zhou Yu and Chen Gong.Chen Gong had already arrived in Luoyang a few days ago, and had already taken on the task of helping the victims of Sili. Today, he returned to Luoyang to report the relevant situation to Chen Chu.

"Gongtai, how is the situation of the disaster victims in Sili?" Chen Chu asked.

Chen Gong frowned tightly, clasped his fists and said, "The situation is worse than imagined! Besides, the disaster victims in Wancheng and Runan heard that we released rice grains in Sili, and they are flocking in!" (Wancheng is now Nanyang City, Henan, Ru South (now Runan County, Henan)

"How big is the relief food gap?"[

"According to the current situation, 80 dans of grain are needed to help the people here maintain the wheat harvest until next year! However, if the influx of refugees and disaster victims exceeds imagination, then more grain will be needed!"

Chen Chu frowned slightly, then turned to Zhou Yu who was at the side, "Gongjin, when will the grain from Guannei and Bingzhou arrive?"

"It will arrive in about three days. This batch has a total of 30 tons."

Chen Chu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a relaxed face: "It seems that the food problem is not difficult to solve!"

Zhou Yu and Chen Gong looked at each other, smiled bitterly, and then Zhou Yu reminded Chen Chudao: "My lord, our army has about 20 troops stationed in Luoyang and the second pass of Baoshui Hulao. In addition, hundreds of thousands of Yuan Shao are also detained in these three places The prisoners of the army, as well as the [-] soldiers who were being trained by the second general outside the city

Surrendering the army, the daily food consumption of hundreds of thousands is a very huge number! "

Chen Chu immediately understood that most of the food transported from Guanzhong and Bingzhou had to be used to maintain the consumption of the army and feed the prisoners.

Chen Chu frowned, glanced at Chen Gong and Zhou Yu, and asked, "Then how to solve the food problem?"

Chen Gong clasped his fists at Chen Chu and said, "Just as my lord thinks, the gentry in Luoyang have a huge food reserve. We can borrow food from them. Isn't my lord doing that?"

Chen Chu smiled wryly and shook his head, "These people are very tricky, don't talk about borrowing, I've already put the cash in front of them, and these bastards still don't want anything!"

Chen Gong nodded, "In this troubled world, food is the most important resource, so it's no wonder these people are so tight! Do you have a plan, my lord?"

Chen Chu's eyes turned cold, and he said coldly: "I'll ask Chen Lin to persuade her again, if it doesn't work, then they don't blame me for being cruel!"

The two were startled, and Zhou Yu said anxiously: "My lord, don't act too hastily! The influence of these nobles in Luoyang is very important! If these nobles are completely forced to oppose us, Luoyang may not be able to settle down in a short time ! This is bound to drag down the pace of the Lord's rule of the world!"

"I can't control that much anymore! 'Two evils, whichever is the lesser', since God must let me choose between the two, then let these gentry people end their history!" Said this At that time, Chen Chu's eyes showed obvious murderous intent.

Zhou Yu and Chen Gong looked at each other in astonishment, and couldn't help being very shocked. Although the two of them didn't like the gentry, they never thought of completely uprooting the gentry. ! ~!
