"The new grain and grass have been put into storage?" The patriarchs of the gentry below who were enduring the pain and drinking the "pig food" could not help but prick up their ears when they heard the announcement from the Lu Bu army's messenger.
"Isn't Lu Bu almost running out of ammunition and food? Isn't he borrowing food and grass from everyone present? How come there is new food in the warehouse?!" Now it's not the autumn harvest season, where will the new food come from
Also filled the entire warehouse? Wancheng is the administrative seat of Lujiang, its grain depot is really not small, it can store more than 100,000 shi, and now it is full, and there are more than 4,000 shi, how is that possible.
The food and grass he got from **? When Sun Ce's army left, they basically emptied the grain depot.
snort? Do you want to create the illusion that there is plenty of food? I still want to swell my face to make myself fat, this is the best, and I don’t even need to give the hundred stones of food and grass! Everyone present did not believe it.
"Go, bring me the excess food and grass to the gate of the prefect's mansion!" Lu Bu said with a big wave of his hand.
"Yes!" The soldier led the order and went down.
After a while, the carts and loads were carried by teams of soldiers and stacked outside the gate of the prefect's mansion.
"Cut, so what if there are too many cars, who knows if there is food and grass in it! Maybe it's gravel and sand." Some people didn't diverge.
"Hehe!" Lu Bu waved his hand, and a guard beside him nodded and stepped forward to help carry a cloth bag that was full of torn by accident.
"Hula Hula!" The white rice was poured on the ground like running water.
"How to do things, food is so precious, hurry up and pack it!" Lu Bu said with an "angry look" on his face.
"Yes, yes!" The guard nodded in fear and found another cloth bag to put the rice in.
Is it really rice? The color and style are all high-quality grain, where did Lu Bu get it? If Lu Bu's army had such food and grass and the 40,000 army, it would be really difficult. Some small patriarchs were considering whether to lean towards Lu Bu's army.
Amid the disbelief of the crowd, Lu Bu stood up, "Everyone, I wanted to borrow food and grass from you to see that you have difficulties, but my new food has arrived, so forget it! See if you can still bite when you are in trouble." Clenching your teeth and helping generously!" Lu Bu deliberately emphasized this generosity.
"Bu here is here to repay the peaches and plums. As the saying goes, the kindness of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring. But there is no spring in Bu, but it can also help you a little bit. Everyone who just sponsored Bu can get double the food and grass back!"
"That royal patriarch, didn't he say that the family couldn't solve the pot? Come, come, take forty stones, and I, Lu Bu, will reward you!" Lu Bu said, pointing at the royal patriarch who was crying poor from the beginning.
"Ah!" The patriarch of the Wang clan was taken aback for a moment, and then he became a little flustered, can't he open the pot? Just kidding, that was to fool you, Lu Bu, even if more than half of them starve to death in this world, they, the gentry, have delicious delicacies.
"There is also the owner of the married family! If you take away the sixty shi, not only will you have oil and water, but you can go back and sell the grain to buy two bolts of cloth to make some clothes!" Looking at Lu Bu's expression, the owner of the married family finally knew that he was being treated as a beggar. The kind of handout feeling.
The two of them didn't know where to put their hands. If they didn't take them, they wouldn't give Lv Bu face. If they don't accept gifts, they don't look down on them! If you take it, you are admitting that your family is poor, so poor that you can't get rid of it, and how can you get the forty stone back
"Take it, why don't you take it!" Chen Yao sneered at the side, "We will take as much as Lu Bu gives!" The information Chen Yao got is absolutely reliable, and Lu Bu's grain is running out, otherwise Chen Gong would not be able to borrow grain, and There is no place near the Lujiang River where it is possible to replenish food and grass for Lu Bu. To the north is the direction of Shouchun. Shouchun has now become a dead city. There are only a few thousand refugees there. Jiangdong, Jiangdong can't wait to eat Lu Bu now, how could he give Lu Bu food and grass, and Jiangxia in the west is fighting, and there is no way there is food and grass.
Knowing this news, Chen Yao dared to raise the price of grain in Wancheng. He was not afraid that Lu Bu's army would buy grain and grass, but he was afraid that you, Lu Bu, would not be able to afford it.
Now that Lu Bu has taken out these rations, it should be the last rations of his Lu Bu army, right? Why take it out? Tell us that Lu Bu is not short of food, let us lower the price of food? This kind of trick is also put on display
"General Lu, according to your arrangement, my Chen family donated 200 shi, will I get 400 shi?" Chen Yao stepped forward and looked at Lu Bu and said.
"Of course!" Lu Bu also looked at Chen Yao, this person is the current head of the Chen family, he was not the head of the family before, it was Chen Rui before, and Chen Rui died at his own hands.
"Then I would like to thank General Lu!" The corner of Chen Yao's mouth curled up. Lu Bu's army has less than 10,000 shi of food and grass. If it is distributed to them, Lu Bu's army may run out of food tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and the price of food in the market will not drop. Let's see how Lu Bu ends up then.
With Chen Yao at the head, the other Patriarchs would naturally say, "Thank you, General Lu, for your righteousness!" You have a few shi, I have a few hundred shi, and more than 4,000 shi of food and grass have been allocated.
Chen Yao was laughing, and they were laughing at how Lu Bu would end up waiting.
Lu Bu was also laughing, he was laughing at these gentry, watching their respective postures really interpreted the ugliness of the world.
"Huh, that's not right!" The Patriarch of the Wu family suddenly realized something was wrong.
"What's the matter? Old Wu, is General Lu's food and grass not enough for you?!" Someone laughed and said, although there are a lot of four thousand stones, some of the people present did not get allotted.
But they didn't mind at all, these dozens of stones were not in their eyes at all.
The Patriarch of the Wu family felt that something was wrong. What was definitely wrong with him was not the grain and grass, but the cart that was loaded with grain and grass.
The styles of these vehicles, as well as those signs, were familiar to the Patriarch of the Wu family, so he turned around and ran towards the grain transport vehicles there.
"This, this!" The pupils of Patriarch Wu's eyes suddenly dilated, and he finally knew why he was so familiar with these grain trucks. How could this be familiar? It was his own grain truck.
It's his car from Wu's Mihang, but it's here now
What's going on, what's going on, the Patriarch of the Wu family has an ominous premonition, those rice grains? The Patriarch of the Wu family was a little panicked, and hurried to the grain pile to look over.
Although the rice grain bags are common, each rice shop uses different methods of wrapping the rice bags, so if you look closely, you can tell which company's rice it is.
When he got closer, the head of the Wu family finally breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't his bag from the Wu family's rice shop. These rice are not from his Wu family.
The head of the Wu family wiped the sweat from his brow.
"Old Wu, is everything okay!" someone asked beside him.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Although the Patriarch of the Wu family was puzzled as to why his grain truck appeared here, as long as it wasn't his own rice grain, it would be fine.
"It's okay, you still have such a head of sweat!" Someone teased.
"Hehehehe!" Patriarch Wu followed suit with a perfunctory smile.
At this moment, suddenly a figure who looked like a butler outside the prefect's mansion ran over in a hurry.
"Huh?" The head of the Wu family was very surprised, isn't that the chief housekeeper of the Yuan family? The Yuan family is in the city of Anhui, and the prefect's mansion is the closest. In the past, the Patriarch of the Wu family often went to the Yuan family, so he is very familiar with this big housekeeper.
What is he doing here? Call his master back? The mistress of the Yuan family is a tigress. It is well known that the head of the Yuan family is afraid of his wife.
"Brother Yuan, why did my sister-in-law tell you to go back?!" After being teased for so long, the head of the Wu family wanted to make fun of others.
"Now it's General Lu's banquet. It's inappropriate for you to go back like this!"
The Patriarch of the Wu family thought that his teasing would embarrass the Patriarch of the Yuan family, but who knew, Brother Yuan glared at him and pushed him away, "Get out of here!"
"Why are you angry? Can't you take a joke?!" The head of the Wu family was also very annoyed. He was told to get out of the crowd and pushed aside. He is the head of the family.
"It's a disaster, it's a disaster!" The Patriarch of the Yuan family ran and shouted all the way to Chen Yao and the others.
"Huh? How is it proper to be in such a panic! You are the head of the family! Calm down, calm down!" Chen Yao frowned. He didn't think much of these small family members, and now he saw the Yuan family who was as flustered as a market. The head of the family is even more disgusted.
"No, no!" The Patriarch of the Yuan family wanted to explain, but he was too impatient to hold the words in his mouth.
Another person who looked like a housekeeper appeared, he was the second housekeeper of Chen Yao's family, who was in charge of grain and grass.
"What!" Chen Yao jumped up suddenly, his voice suddenly increased, his face was full of anger, surprise, and a kind of disbelief! (To be continued.)
