Long Tian knew very well that if he had not traveled through time, Shiguan City would have been breached at this moment, but Long Tian could not help but have doubts.
"Don't the noble families in the city know that once the city is breached, what's the use of storing more food and gold and silver? Won't it all benefit the Liang Kingdom? Why don't they take them out to help each other?"
Under an overturned nest, how can the eggs be intact? Such a simple truth should not be understood by the people of these families.
"Your Highness, please forgive me for speaking frankly. It is precisely because of the danger of the city being breached that these noble families are unwilling to help us. They are worried that the Liang Kingdom will hold them accountable after the city is breached. Moreover, these materials are also their capital to please the Liang Kingdom."
After Shi Dahai said this, Long Tian understood that he had already prepared a way out.
These people planned to use these food and gold and silver to buy their lives after the city was breached, and they could even use them to get close to the Liang Kingdom, and they might have a better future.
"How much food do these noble families have?"
Long Tian had no idea about the situation in Shiguan City, so he could only continue to ask.
"Your Highness, there are more than 300,000 people in Shiguan City, including the people you brought with you. According to my investigation, the food stored by these families is enough for more than a month."
Good fellow, Long Tian heard that these guys are really rich.
Fighting on the front line, in order to protect Shiguan City, countless people fought to the death, but these people, not only did not help, but also took the opportunity to make money, and even prepared to offer it to Liang State in order to save their lives and future.
No wonder Long Tian heard a saying in his previous life that the noble families are the most selfish, with only themselves in their hearts, and no national justice or the life and death of the people.
In this case, it is not Long Tian's fault.
"General Shi, pass on the order of this prince, all noble families open their granaries and let the people buy at market prices. Anyone who dares to take the opportunity to raise prices will be punished for treason."
For these people, you can't use gentle means, otherwise it will definitely be a step forward.
"Your Highness, this move is not appropriate. These noble families have certain backgrounds and may not obey your orders. Moreover, noble families all raise private armies. Once a conflict breaks out, it will be difficult to deal with."
After hearing Long Tian's order, Shi Dahai hurriedly said that now that the war has just begun, there must be no chaos in the city, otherwise it will be troublesome.
"If you don't tell me, I have forgotten this. How many private armies do the noble families in the city have?"
Private armies are also the product of this world. Every powerful force and family raises some thugs and private armies.
Strictly speaking, the Zhenbei Army is also the private army of the Long family, but Long Dao has no other ideas and directly contributed it to become the main force to protect the northern border.
"Your Highness, there are more than a dozen families in the city, with a total of more than 10,000 private armies. If they riot at this time, it will be very disadvantageous to us."
No one knows the situation in Shiguan City better than Shi Dahai. Shi Dahai has suffered a lot from these noble families in recent years.
"General Shi, pass on my order. In order to resist the attack of Liang State, all families in the city must immediately hand over their private armies. Yue Fei, these people are in your hands."
Now is the time to use people. If you have such power, why keep it? Will you serve the enemy?
"Your Highness, if you do this, it will definitely cause a backlash. I'm afraid..."
Shi Dahai didn't expect that Long Tian seemed to have changed. He didn't dare to execute the orders that blurted out one by one. Once he did it, he was afraid that the city would immediately be in chaos.
Although Shi Dahai didn't like the aristocratic families, he had to admit that the aristocratic families were powerful. If they were not handled well, it would be a chain reaction.
"Bai Qi, transfer 3,000 people from the Tianlong Guard to cooperate with Yue Fei, Lu Bu, and Yuwen Chengdu. You two will go together. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed."
Cut the Gordian knot quickly. At this time, Long Tian didn't have the mind to compete with these families.
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Your Highness, no, we..."
Yue Fei and his men carried out Long Tian's orders unconditionally, while Shi Dahai was terrified and wanted to dissuade him.
"General Shi, you can't contribute to our defense of the city, and you still want to surrender to the enemy. Such people are useless."
For such people, Long Tian thought that as many as there were should be killed. Only by killing them to be afraid can we put an end to their thoughts that they shouldn't have.
"Your Highness, it's easy to deal with other people, but the Lin family in the city is a branch of the Tai Shi family. They have been at the border and have been making profits for the Tai Shi. Once they move, it will be too troublesome."
It turned out that there were such people in this small border.
The current Tai Shi Lin Jinnan not only reached the supreme grandmaster in martial arts, but also the Lin family he belongs to is also powerful.
In the entire military and political system of the Xia Kingdom, they all play an important role.
Such a large family is naturally extremely short ofThere is a lack of resources, and the Lin family in Shiguan City, to put it bluntly, is to make money for the entire Lin family.
Such people are naturally difficult to deal with.
"Lin family, I will go there in person, I want to see what they can do?"
What is the Grand Master? At this time, he is too far away from Long Tian. The most urgent thing is to solve the problem of Shiguan City. As for other things, we will talk about it later.
In fact, Long Tian has chosen unlimited supply of rice and noodles in the system, and he is not worried about the problem of food at all.
However, some things must have a reason. Taking out a large amount of food for no reason will not arouse suspicion.
Moreover, the family in Shiguan City is an unstable factor in Long Tian's view. When there is profit, they will pounce on you like dogs and wag their tails and beg for mercy. When you are down and out, these guys will instantly turn into wolves and gnaw you to the bone.
Such people are extremely disgusted by Long Tian, and naturally they cannot tolerate their existence.
What happened in the North had nothing to do with him before, but now that Long Tian has come through, he must follow his own standards in everything. Otherwise, why did he come through? To be their grandson?
Seeing that Long Tian was very determined, Shi Dahai didn't dare to say anything else.
"General Shi, please follow me."
At this time, Yue Fei stood up. Since the prince had arranged it, the private armies of these families would be his subordinates in the future. Yue Fei naturally had to take them over as soon as possible.
"Let's go and see the Lin family."
After Yue Fei and his men left, Long Tian also stood up.
Long Tian wanted to see what was so special about the Lin family. This was also the first time Long Tian went out after coming to Shiguan City.
However, Long Tian didn't know that the Lin family was very lively at this time. Not only were people from various families here, but also the well-known figures in the city were here at this moment.
The attack of Liang State was very fierce today. This was only the first day, and the defenders in the city suffered heavy casualties. How could they resist if it continued like this?
Although they had received information that reinforcements had arrived, with only 10,000 people, what could they do? After all, they were the vanguard of Liang State. How would they resist when the main force arrived behind them?
