Three Kingdoms: Hegemony System
Chapter 79
Zhang Zhao showed a wise smile and said: "My lord, you think, when this flood comes, the people of Jiangdong will still be displaced and need relief from the government, how good will those Wuxi barbarians be? Will Liu Biao send them grain? When they are worried about food, it will be better to incite them at that time." "
Sun Quan felt that it made sense, but he still said: "There are floods everywhere now, even if we want to implement our plan, we have to wait until the flood waters recede." "
Zhang Zhao nodded and said, "Of course." Maybe at that time, those Wuxi barbarians ran out of food, and they rioted, and we just needed to guide them. "
A smile finally appeared on Sun Quan's face.
Sun Quan has thought about this plan many times, it has great implementation value, and the price paid is not large, but once it really succeeds, then all the south of the Yangtze River will belong to him.
Sun Quan couldn't help but be moved, and even in the past few days, he dreamed that the plan had succeeded.
"In short, let's wait until the flood recedes, and when that time comes, I'll see how Liu Jue will deal with it. Sun Quan said with a smile on his face.
......
After another seven or eight days, the flood in Jingzhou at this time had basically receded.
Liu Jue was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, his mood was much more relaxed, and he began to concentrate on official business.
It is true that each part of Jiangxia has been affected by different serious disasters, so the most important thing now is to appease the victims in various places and rebuild the villages that have been washed away.
Fortunately, Liu Jue now has a lot of helpers, such as Jiang Wan, Yi Yuan, Xiang Lang, and Ma Liang has also grown up now, and he is completely able to take charge of himself.
Even Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, who are military advisors, are also good hands in internal affairs.
And now there is a lot of grain in Jiangxia, whether it is fighting Zhou Yu or Cao Ren, Liu Jue has seized a lot of grain, which is completely enough for disaster relief.
Everything is moving in a good direction.
However, Liu Jue's good mood did not last long, and Jiang Wan hurriedly walked in.
"Major General, the people below have reported that someone is deliberately raising the price of grain. Jiang Wan handed over a roll of bamboo slips, and his face looked very ugly.
Liu Jue frowned, took the bamboo slip, and looked at it quickly.
"Shaxian Yang's family, Yixian He's family, and more than a dozen powerful families have joined forces to raise grain prices!" Liu Jue put down the bamboo slip, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
In the past, because of the relationship between Jiangdong, Jiangxia was not a strong man, but it was not nothing.
Such as the Yang family in Shaxian and the He family in Yixian County, the two largest of them.
Don't underestimate these powerful people, they have a lot of power with their clans as a link, and their families have rich assets and countless fertile fields.
However, Liu Jue has never had a good impression of these heroes.
Normally, these people are relatively peaceful, but as soon as they encounter this kind of natural disaster, they begin to make waves.
Just like this time, those heroes deliberately inflated the price of grain, and the people affected by the disaster had to pay high prices to buy grain in order to survive.
What if you can't afford it?
The people had no choice but to sell their fields, and after selling them, they could only become tenants, or even poor peasants.
As the powerful continue to acquire land, they will become richer and more exploited by these tenants.
If there are more serious natural disasters, then these poor peasants will not be able to survive, so they will have to rise up.
Just like before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there were several serious natural disasters in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Liu Jue would never allow this kind of thing to happen, and immediately said to Jiang Wan: "Gongyan, you send someone to talk to those heroes, and I will give them three days to reduce the price of grain back to the original price." "
Jiang Wan asked in a low voice, "What if they don't lower the price after three days?"
"No price reduction, when my knife is used to see?"
Liu Jue smiled faintly and said: "What I say is not a discussion, but an order! If those heroes don't listen, I don't care what the Yang family is, I will kill whoever raises the price of grain!"
"The subordinate understood. Jiang Wan nodded, and immediately turned around and went out.
Soon, the big and small heroes in Jiangxia all received Liu Jue's warning, and notices prohibiting raising grain prices were also posted in various counties.
In a rather luxurious village in Shaxian, Yang Xun, the head of the Yang family, was sitting in the living room, listening to the news reported by the servant.
Yang Xun is about forty years old, white and fat, usually smiling, and looks harmless to humans and animals.
But only those who are familiar with him know that the head of the Yang family eats people and does not spit out bones.
The Yang family has been inherited for hundreds of years, and the ancestors have also been knighted, although it is not as good as before, but there are thousands of acres of land in hand, and there are more than 700 tenants.
"Master, Taishou Liu Jue issued a notice, let us calm the price of grain. The servant whispered.
Yang Xun said with a smile: "Our Jiangxia Taishou Lord is really not a good family and doesn't know how expensive oil and salt are. I have such a large family, I don't want to try to make money, what can I do to support my family?"
"Now that the flood has just passed, and food is in short supply, he asked us to calm the price of food, which is quite light, doesn't this make us lose all our money?"
The servant sneered: "What the master said is very true! This natural disaster is a great time, and those peasants have no choice but to sell us their fields, and I am afraid that after a while, the master will have a few hundred acres of land in his hands." "
Yang Xun smiled and said: "You are quite smart, after following me for so many years, you have finally learned some doors." "
"The master has won the prize!"
The servant hurriedly nodded his head, and then said, "But master, the notice said that if the price is not reduced within three days, you will bear the consequences at your own risk." "
Yang Xun said leisurely: "Don't worry! In the past, when Huang Zu was here, he couldn't do anything to us, Liu Jue is a hairy boy, can he still eat us? What if he is Liu Biao's son, in Jiangxia, this acre and three points of land, after all, we still have weight in talking. "
The servant nodded repeatedly, and suddenly the sycophants and spit flew together.
Yang Xun coughed lightly, and then said: "By the way, you go to Yi County to talk to the He family, don't worry about Liu Jue's words, let's do what we want." "
"I know, the little one will go to Yi County immediately. The servant nodded, turned and went out.
Yang Xun glanced outside and saw that the weather had cleared, so he sighed and muttered, "It would be nice if it rained for a few more days." "_
