Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

When Lv Bu fought Cao Cao before, the people had no food in their hands, so they could only put their ideas on the aristocratic families, bring troops to the door, and ask for food under various pretexts. Although those aristocratic families have some influence and power, they alone No one is the opponent of these lords, so naturally they are happy to use some food to send away evil guests, spend money and eliminate disasters, and also form a good relationship by the way.

For example, now that Li Yi is in charge of Yanzhou, if he opens his mouth to say the number, as long as it does not exceed 20 shi, the Yanzhou family can make it up for him immediately, and even many people have already made preparations for this before coming. God, if they don't show filial piety, they themselves will not be at ease.

However, as soon as Li Yi opened his mouth, he directly talked about the price of food, which was a bit unusual.

The plunder of a strongman is to use a knife desperately, and the official plunder only needs to move his mouth. If Li Yi orders the price of grain to be cut by dozens of times, and then pays to buy grain from the aristocratic family, it will become a bottomless matter. If it is not good, it will hurt their vitality.

Seeing the appearance of those people below, Li Yi snorted coldly, feeling very upset.

The world is in chaos, and the aristocratic family stores food to protect themselves, which is understandable, after all, people don't kill heaven and earth for themselves.

Even to put it a little harshly, even if they were iron roosters and refused to let go of the food, Li Yi didn't blame them. After all, the food belonged to others, and it was not a crime to have low ideological awareness.

What Li Yi really hates are those guys who take advantage of the troubled times and fry the price of food to the sky. Those people are really black-hearted, the common people are starving to death, and they still want to get rich, everyone should be killed!

With the intention to kill, Li Yi's expression became a little unkind. Li Yi, who was seated in the front, immediately sensed that something was wrong. Li Yi ordered that they discipline each other to look good.

Apart from a very small number of people who sit in the back of the aristocratic families have a clear conscience, most of them have already begun to sweat, and even many officials feel sorry for each other. They never imagined that this young Li Xianghou would be like this after changing his face. appalling.

After a while, Li Yi finally recovered from his delusion, he took a deep breath, and suppressed the urge to pull the guys below out and cut them alive.

Li Yi no longer needs to be afraid of some aristocratic families, even if he doesn't like anyone, it's okay to find a reason to slaughter them, but this kind of thing must be done according to the rules, or in other words, there is a rule that the world can accept reason.

Before Wei Xu and the others killed the Sima family, although it was counted on Lu Bu, everyone knew it was Li Yi's intention, and Li Yi also explained that he had an enmity with the Sima family.

Although killing the whole family just because of a vendetta seems very excessive, but this is a troubled time, Li Yi is powerful, it can only be considered unlucky for the Sima family, and others will not stand up for the Sima family, because Li Yi is a vendetta, not an indiscriminate killing. His knife will not fall on others.

This time, Li Yi really wanted to kill those big families who raised the price of grain, but he had to follow the rules. If he killed people directly because of the price of grain, wouldn't it mean that all the families in the world who sold grain at high prices would be attacked by Li Yi scope?

That will make people panic, and it will do great harm to order and stability.

That's why Li Yi has a third strategy, which is to set rules, set rules, and if someone crosses the line, then no one can blame him if he kills again.

"call"

Li Yi let out a mouthful of foul breath, and the sound of exhaling was so loud that everyone in the hall could hear it, and even felt that Li Yi's breath was a bit like the north wind in the twelfth lunar month, blowing cold on their backs.

"Food is related to the livelihood of the people in the world. It's nothing more than chaos in Yanzhou before. I don't care about things that have passed, but now that I have arrived in Yanzhou, I have to take care of this matter!"

Li Yi glanced over the heads of several aristocratic families, staring at them until they bowed their heads again, and then continued: "A stone of mud and sand, three to five thousand yuan, this is not selling grain, this is a crime! This will kill the people of Yanzhou !"

Chapter 683

"Plop!

Li Yi was about to continue talking, when suddenly a fat man jumped out from the banquet, crawled to the middle of the hall, and kowtowed heavily to Li Yi while shouting: "Please forgive me, Lord Xiang, please forgive me!" The grass people were deceived before, so they learned from others to sell food. If they want to exchange some money, they will never dare to harm the people. The villain has already known his mistake, so please be kind to the Marquis of Xiang. Hou! I also ask the Marquis of Xiang for mercy!"

The fat man kowtowed fiercely to Li Yi, and after a few kowtows, there was a small blood stain on the floor tile.

Li Yipi smiled without a smile, and there was no sympathy in his eyes.

What Xu Huang said just now about his purchase of grain was not just nonsense, but the truth.

The fat man in front of him is surnamed Xu, and he is the owner of the grain company. At first he and the others knew that there was a soldier buying grain, and they didn't care. Later, when they heard that the man was a general, they felt bad. Knowing that it was Xu Huang, Li Yi's confidant, Fatty Xu panicked immediately, and gave Xu Huang three thousand shi of grain and grass that night as an apology.

Xu Huang received the food and didn't bother Fatty Xu, so Fatty Xu thought it was all right. After all, according to common sense, if Xu Huang accepted the gift, the matter was over. After all, he didn't intend to sell Xu Huang those salted of food.

Being invited to the banquet this time, Fatty Xu was secretly happy for a while, thinking that it was a blessing in disguise. Seeing that he was knowledgeable and interesting, Xu Huang intended to give him a tip or two in front of Li Yi. He was about to give Xu Huang a personal fortune. , I never thought that this disaster has become a big one. Not only did it spread to Li Yi's ears, but it was also used by Li Yi as a model in front of everyone in Yanzhou. If Li Yi killed everyone, wouldn't their old Xu family be ruined?

Li Yi looked at Fatty Xu, and asked indifferently, "Send me food and grass? What do you mean, do you think I came to Yanzhou just to covet your family's food?"

"Don't dare, dare not, grass people dare not"

Fatty Xu didn't expect Li Yi to run on people like this, so he could only lie on the ground and even said he didn't dare.

Everyone in the hall watched this scene, but they also held their breath and concentrated their attention, not daring to show their anger, but they were waiting in their hearts for Li Yi to kill Fatty Xu.

After a while, Li Yi saw that Fatty Xu's pants seemed to be getting wet. He waved his hand, and two personal guards came up and pulled Fatty Xu up. Yi wanted to punish him, but he didn't expect that the guard would turn around and walk a few steps, but he threw Fatty Xu back on his seat.

Fatty Xu lost his mind and was stunned for a while before realizing that his life was saved?

Thinking of this, Fatty Xu glanced at Li Yi, just as Li Yi also looked at him, and was stabbed by the cold light, Fatty hurriedly lowered his head, but Li Yi sneered, and said murderously: "If I don't have this official body, disregarding the laws of the imperial court! I have already scraped off your fat body, and see how much fishy oil can be fried!"

"woo woo woo woo"

Finally, Fatty Xu couldn't bear it any longer, and lay down on the table, his pants were wet a lot, and the smell of fishy smell made the surrounding guests unhappy, but he was relieved in his heart.

Fatty Xu is just a microcosm of countless big families. Many people have done similar things. If Li Yi kills Fatty Xu today, doesn't it mean that they will be killed tomorrow, and that would be bad.

Fortunately, it now appears that Li Yi will not kill people indiscriminately.

As for Fatty Xu peeing his pants, I really don't blame him. Li Yilian can say such things as killing and extracting oil. An ordinary small landlord really can't stand being frightened.

Li Yi didn't go to see Fatty Xu again, but said to everyone: "Yanzhou has been set up for the first time, and a lot of waste is waiting to be rebuilt. Millions of people need food to live. This matter is Li's duty. Grain, save the people of Yanzhou!"

"Little Man Willing"

As soon as Li Yi said this, someone wanted to flatter him and said that he was willing to take out food, but Li Yi stretched out his hand, interrupted the man's words, and continued: "I know that if you are here today, [-]% of the family has reserves, no matter what you use. What you got by means is now your private food. If you are willing to help the people, it is benevolence and righteousness, and it is a kindness to the people. If you don’t want to, there is nothing wrong with it. They will not take their property for no reason. However, if someone takes advantage of the chaos to raise the price of food and wants to make a living in the country's danger and the people's life and death, one counts as the other. , not to destroy the whole clan, this hatred will never end!"

"Zijing, from now on, order all counties and counties in Yanzhou that it's fine if the grain shops don't open. Once they open, as long as the grain price exceeds [-] yuan, no matter who is behind it, they will all be barbarians!"

The eyebrows of everyone in the hall twitched wildly. Although Li Yi also had a domineering side, he was relatively gentle overall. He was not born in a family, but he also had a family demeanor. Apart from going too far in the affairs of the Sima family, he was usually very measured. Yes, but he didn't want to be so angry in Yanzhou this time, and even threatened people with the Yi tribe.

Six of the ten people present felt that Li Yi's move was too harsh, and one person thought that Li Yi was just messing around, but no matter what they thought in their hearts, none of them dared to directly question it.

Li Yi didn't directly kill Fatty Xu Liwei, because Li Yi didn't care about what happened before he entered Xuzhou, but now that Li Yi has expressed his attitude, if someone raises objections, he may really lose his head.

Seeing the fear in everyone's eyes, Li Yi felt very satisfied, but he was still unhappy when he thought of the situation in Yanzhou, so he couldn't help threatening again: "Sima's family went to ninth in the tenth middle school, and the blood in Yingchuan is still there. Please bear in mind Li Yi's words today, otherwise, don't say it was unpredictable!"

There was another thud in everyone's heart. Li Yi said before that he had a personal enmity with the Sima family, but Li Yi didn't say anything about it, and no one dared to ask, so there were many speculations, such as the life and death of blood relatives, the robbing of friends, etc. Anyway, it's all a guess, otherwise Li Yi wouldn't be so ruthless.

But now Li Yi unabashedly mentioned Sima's family again at this juncture, but it made many people a little confused. Could it be that the matter of Sima's family has something to do with food?

Seeing that many people were caught up in brainstorming, Li Yi's calm expression was a little playful. He just used things about the Sima family to scare people casually, and let them make up their minds. If there are people who don't know how to be interesting, then they really should be killed.

Li Yi was thinking about things, but he didn't notice that when he mentioned the matter of the Sima family, a county magistrate surnamed Zhang glared at him, which was an outlier among the guests present.

However, Dian Wei and Xu Chu were right behind Li Yi, and the county magistrate's anomaly came into their sight almost immediately. The two looked at each other, and silently stepped up their guard.

"Do you have any objections to these three decrees? If not, this will be the rule in Yanzhou from now on."

In the end, Li Yi made what seemed to be a concluding speech, asking everyone for their opinions, but obviously, those who were invited could not express any opinions.

"I wait for no objection!"

Everyone bowed in unison, but at this moment, someone suddenly shouted loudly: "Hsianghou's move is inappropriate!"

This voice was extremely loud, and it came so suddenly that many people were startled. They all looked towards the place where the sound came from, wanting to know what kind of thing it was, but after seeing it clearly, they were stunned. Stopped, because the speaker was an official named Yu Fan under Li Yi's command. Although everyone was not familiar with Yu Fan, they knew that this was Li Yi Minchen, who worked in the personal guard camp, and Yun Yunwu was very popular with Li Yi. Yi takes it seriously.
