Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 462

Cai Yan looked dignified, and said: "Although we are women, we must help our husband as much as possible. I plan to see my father and try to persuade the wealthy households in the city to help the lord."

Cai Yan Bingxue is smart, and knows that although ordinary people have no surplus food, the rich families have a lot of surplus food, and they can get through the crisis by taking it out.

"My husband suffers for us, and our heart aches, but we don't know how to help him. We all listen to my sister."

"Now, please see your father, take out the food at home, and help your husband."

"Sister, tell me." Fushou and the sisters of the Zhen family said one after another.

Outside at this time, Qin Feng was comforting the people, and he would definitely try his best to get through this crisis.

The common people trust Qin Feng, even if they don't eat for a few meals, they can survive.However, some people came out and said, "My lord, the big families in the city don't want to share food. Now my lord has no food, but their family still has a lot of food."

"This matter will be considered by the Marquis. Folks, if you persist, you will always find a way."

The people trusted Qin Feng, endured hunger, and gradually dispersed.

Qin Feng's heart became even more difficult.If you can hold back one meal, how can the people hold back if you don't eat ten meals?In a famine, cannibalism can happen, what else can't happen?
"Wealthy households in the city..." Qin Feng thought about it.

Wealthy households in the city refer to large noble households.According to historical records, Lu Su's family was a big family, and there were two stockpiles of grain in the family, which meant that Sun Cejun's food problem was solved with one stockpile of grain.Yecheng is prosperous, and there are many big families, which can be compared with Lu Su's big families.

Xun Yu was startled, and hurriedly said: "My lord, food is the bottom line of the gentry in the city. They will not take out food easily. If they are in a hurry. Every family has hundreds of armed servants. If there is a disturbance, Lu Bu will We must take the opportunity to attack the city..."

The gentry were powerful, all of whom were emperors of the land. They had armed servants, that is, private soldiers, to control the land.Emperor Guangwu was able to establish the Eastern Han Dynasty because he had the support of powerful people. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from various families gathered to win the world for Emperor Guangwu. They also gained more privileges and became more powerful.

However, Qin Feng's new acquisition of Jizhou did not have the time to reform the local gentry.He has full confidence in confiscating the food of the powerful nobles, and it is easy to kill all the chickens and dogs.But one cannot ignore the Lu Bu army outside the city. Qin Feng suppressed the gentry tycoons at home, so he couldn't go outside. Instead, he was attacked by inside and outside.

Qin Feng hesitated because of this, and went home sadly.

As soon as he returned to the door of the house, he heard a voice coming from the open door.

"Donate money and food, go back immediately and gather those old guys. Don't talk nicely to me all day long, it's time to take practical actions." The old man Zhen Yi said proudly.

"It makes sense. I will write an article when I go back, scolding Yuan Benchu ​​for being a bastard. He has lost the face of the four generations and three princes by himself." Cai Yong was old-fashioned.

After the two finished talking, they watched Fu Wan. After Fu Wan, the white eyebrows twitched wildly, "I wrote a call to action and donated money and food."

Ever since, the old men took action.As soon as he went out, he saw Qin Feng.

When the fathers-in-law saw their children, they immediately surrounded them. Zhen Yi said, "Son-in-law, don't worry, it's not easy for you to come forward. I'll go and tell them. They want to give me face."

Cai Yong followed up and said: "The old man is also willing to go all out. If anyone does not work hard, the old man will write it in the proclamation and spread it to the hands of Confucian scholars all over the world, so that they can show their face."

"Son-in-law, we all support you, and I will bring you all the food at home when I go back." Fu Wan said, patting his chest.

Qin Feng felt warm in his heart for a moment.

Xun Yu and Xu Shu, who had been frowning all the time, looked at each other. They didn't expect the master's father-in-law to be so enlightened.It would be much better to have them come forward than Qin Feng himself.In fact, the old men are not open-minded at all, but "very selfish".They treat their filial sons-in-law like their sons, and if their sons are in trouble, they will risk their lives to help.If it is someone else, they will not help if they are killed.

The three fathers-in-law have a clear division of labor. Cai Yong and Fu Wan are the seniors of the gentry family, and they are in charge of the big gentry family.Zhen Yi is a big merchant, he is in charge of the merchants in the city.

Yecheng is rich and rich, with as many rich households as there were in Luoyang back then.

Early the next morning, merchants from all over the city came to Zhen Yi's mansion.

Zhen Yi got up early and held a "charity reception". When the merchants heard that they were going to donate, they suddenly fell silent.Merchants value profit, Zhen Yi knew it was not good, and it was hard to impress them, so he said: "My son-in-law attaches great importance to business development and business development. When he was in power in Luoyang, merchants prospered, it can be seen. If you work hard today, tomorrow I will have more money." The first-level agency right of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce, and your second-level agency is indispensable."

The merchants suddenly regained their spirits. For them, the rise of the Zhen family was like a legend.The Zhen family was just a mid-level businessman at the beginning, and the reason why they became rich so quickly was because they obtained the agency right of the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce.In those days, the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce almost monopolized the world's business channels, and anyone who could get close to the Huaxia Chamber of Commerce made a fortune.

Zhen Yi promised benefits, and then threatened: "You all know Lu Bu, but Dong Zhuo was born there, and he is more ruthless than Dong Zhuo. Back then, he wiped out all the rich families in Luoyang, Chang'an. If he entered the city, we would not have Good luck."

Reputation played a decisive role at this moment, and the merchants present at the meeting all had shrewd minds.If Lu Bu came in, there would definitely be a lot of demands for offerings, and he didn't have the right of agency yet.

Zhen Yi started fooling around again, saying: "The scholar's family, Mr. Cai has come forward, the scholar's family will support the champion."

Cai Yong is one of the great Confucian scholars in the world, he is a patriarch in the family of scholars who have studied Confucian classics for many generations, and anyone who sees him has to kneel.The businessmen immediately made a decision of "venture investment", and "investing" in Qin Feng's side was the only choice.

On the other side, Cai Yong issued the "Hongru Order", summoning Confucian scholars from Yecheng scholars, the most famous of whom was the famous scholar Cui Yan.

Cui Yan belongs to the Qinghe Cui family, which is different from Boling Cui Lie who failed to fight against Qin Feng.Cui Yan was originally studying with Zheng Xuan in Beihai, and returned to Yecheng when the Yellow Turban besieged Beihai. Unexpectedly, Yecheng was also besieged.

"Master, the younger generation doesn't have any food left at home."

Scholars have studied Confucian classics for many generations, and when they come to Cai Yong, no matter whether they are the head of the family or his sons and grandsons, they are all Confucian scholars and Cai Yong's juniors.

These people have been officials for many generations in their families, and they teach the way of life through precepts and deeds, so they are much more difficult to deal with than businessmen.For the gentry, no matter who is in power, their status will not be shaken.So under certain circumstances, they will not help the weaker side.

Cai Yong encountered difficulties here.

In fact, relying on the power of the people, Qin Feng took down the gentry easily.But at this moment, Lu Bu's army was outside the city, and this time period was a special case, which made him temporarily unable to act.
