Technology dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 196 [Squeeze Out]

"Patriarch Qin, I heard that your two sons are now valued by the general. Why don't Patriarch Qin reflect our current plight to the general on our behalf, and ask the general to acquiesce in our intervention in the migration of our tenant farmers."

The Patriarch of the Yi family looked at the Patriarch of the Qin family, and said in a strange way.

The Patriarch of the Qin family pretended to be stupid, and answered the Patriarch of the Yi family with a smile: "Patriarch Yi's words are exaggerated. The Qin family is just a defeated family. It doesn't have the strength, let alone the face, to make the general change the government order."

"However, I still advise everyone to take a long-term view, and don't lose the big because of the small!"

Although the Qin family was defeated, they still had the dignity that a noble family should have. It was not something that could be bullied by a noble family like the Yi family.

What's more, now that the Qin family has climbed up Lu Bu, the largest tree in Jiaozhou, with confidence, they will naturally no longer blindly endure the bullying and contempt from the noble family.

"Patriarch Qin, what do you mean by that?... Now that the Qin family has a backer, they don't care about the life and death of other aristocratic families. This person, once he gains power, will forget his roots. It's really sad!" Patriarch Yi said with hatred Meaning, the words are harsh.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the room became more tense.

At this time, the Patriarch of the Lu family said politely: "Patriarch Qin, Patriarch Yi, please calm down first. Elder Xu called us here to discuss countermeasures, not to quarrel."

"The current situation is grim. The cultivated land of our family is basically cultivated by tenant farmers. If they all leave for Xin County, then our cultivated land will be left uncultivated. This is not a small matter, so please treat it with caution."

cough cough...

Mr. Jiang from the Jiang family coughed a few times. He is not the head of the Jiang family now, but he is the father of the head of the Jiang family, and his status is very important.

Therefore, on behalf of the Jiang family, he came to the Xu family to discuss important matters with the heads of several families.

The Patriarch of the Jiang family said: "I'm sorry, old man, I have a few words to say. After finishing speaking, you can argue as much as you want, and you juniors can make noise."

"Mr. Jiang's words are serious. Please tell me, we juniors are all ears." The head of the Lu family said with a smile, and winked at the heads of the Yi family and the Qin family at the same time.

"Hmph!" The Patriarch of the Yi family glanced at the Patriarch of the Qin family, snorted coldly, and said nothing more.

The Patriarch of the Qin family is still neither humble nor overbearing, full of confidence.

"Old man Jiang, just say what you have to say, don't always say half and keep half." The head of the Ye family looked up at the head of the Jiang family and said.

The Patriarch of the Xu family who was sitting above had no expression on his face, but he was thinking in his heart, thinking about his own calculations, he said, "Let's listen to Mr. Jiang to talk about his thoughts first."

Quiet the scene!

Jiang Lao took a sip of tea and said, "The current situation is extremely unfavorable to us. To change the situation, we must first unite together."

"This is a premise. If you can't do it, you can only live in peace."

"Today, everyone can sit here together to solve the difficulties together. Since that's the case, old man, I will talk about what I think in my heart."

"This general suddenly appeared and soon occupied all the counties in Jiaozhou. He has a powerful army and his methods are tough. We cannot confront him head-on!"

"In this way, we have only two ways to go. One is the best strategy: to report our difficulties to the general and show our support for him, agreeing that we can handle the issue of tenant migration by ourselves."

"The second is the bad policy: we don't disturb the general, and use other methods to keep the tenant farmers as much as possible. Now that the farming is slack, there is still time to hire other people to supplement. Although the loss will be great, it can also show that we are serious about the general. The support of the general's government orders. In the future, the general will also take care of us and safeguard our interests."

After Mr. Jiang finished speaking, the Patriarch of the Xu family and the Patriarch of the Ye family, the two old men squinted slightly and nodded.

The Patriarch of the Yi family answered: "Elder Jiang is right. Our best choice is the best policy, but this requires Patriarch Qin to represent us to express our position and needs to the general."

This time the spearhead was directed at the Qin family again, but Patriarch Yi was right, the Qin family was the best choice.

The patriarch of the Qin family looked ugly, although his two sons did well under the general Lu Bu, especially Qin Yun, who was more important than Qin Feng.

However, he knew that now might be a rare opportunity for their Qin family, a chance to revive the Qin family.The head of the Qin family has self-knowledge and knows that this is a critical period for the Qin family. He should do more and talk less, do things for the general wholeheartedly, and ask for as little as possible.

Only by truly gaining the trust of the general can the Qin family have the foundation to rise.

Now, the several big families sitting here want to push the Qin family to the forefront, of course the head of the Qin family will not agree.

However, at this time, the Patriarch of the Xu Family, the Patriarch of the Ye Family, and the Patriarch of the Jiang Family, the three old men were all watching the Patriarch of the Qin Family, with a very clear meaning that they wanted the Qin Family to come forward.

"Everyone, I still suggest that in this extraordinary period, it is better for us to solve this matter by ourselves, fully cooperate with the general's decree, and take a long-term view." The head of the Qin family declined politely, risking being squeezed out by the major families .

Everyone didn't expect Patriarch Qin to be so stubborn, and they were very disappointed.Especially the head of the Yi family, with a gloomy face, said coldly: "This Jiaozhou still belongs to the aristocratic family and the noble family. Without our support, no one can occupy this place for a long time!"

Nearly half of the land, the vast majority of literati and officials are from aristocratic families and gentry families. Without their support, no one can gain a firm foothold in Jiaozhou. This is the confidence of these aristocratic families and gentry families.

"Everyone has their own aspirations. Since Patriarch Qin doesn't want to come forward, we can't force him. The rest of the matter will be resolved by ourselves, so we don't bother the Qin family to participate." Patriarch Xu issued an order to expel the Patriarch of the Qin family.

The other patriarchs didn't stop, approved or acquiesced, and kicked the Qin family out. The Patriarch of the Yi family was gloating at the moment, this was the result he wanted to see.

"." Although this result was a bit unexpected, the head of the Qin family had also thought about it. When their Qin family took the lead in falling to the general Lu Bu, they considered such consequences.

He didn't say much, instead he felt relaxed. With a smile on his face, he stood up, bowed his hands politely, and said, "Here, I will take my leave. I wish you all good luck!"

When I rushed out the door, I met someone rushing to report.

"Master, something serious happened!"

The visitor is a servant of the Yi family.

Patriarch Qin didn't stop walking, not knowing what happened to Yi's family.But when he left Xu Mansion, on the way back to Qin's house, he received a secret letter from Qin Feng.

The letter was written on new paper, that is, the new paper that Ding Hong gave Qin Feng before.Opening the letter, Patriarch Qin raised the corners of his mouth and sneered: "Yi Family, you are really trying to die!"
