Turbulent Times Chapter 360: The time is ripe

After repeating this, the remaining courage of the officials and common people finally disappeared, and the crowd began to slowly move back.

Li Zongming's face was livid, and his three-inch green beard trembled slightly. He tried his best to support Sima's face and dignity, but he secretly reflected in his heart that this method of using people's hearts to persecute Wang Junlin was probably the wrong person.

But he didn't know that if a person of this age was native and bred, he would naturally have a very high reputation. Not affected in the slightest.

This young man in his twenties, what has he experienced to make his will so strong...

Wang Junlin stared at Li Zongming, smiled faintly, and said: "Li Sima, why don't you come in, let's talk, maybe under Li Sima's persuasion, it is not impossible for the Marquis to commit suicide and apologize."

Li Zongming was overjoyed when he heard the words, but he looked at the officers and soldiers of the chief executive's mansion who were still looking murderous inside the door, and the sharp arrows on the bow strings emitting a cold light, and then looked at Wang Junlin's respectful and gentle face Li Zongming felt a chill in his heart, only to realize that Wang Junlin was teasing him, and at the same time he was angry, just like the officials and ordinary people just now, he couldn't take this step no matter what.

"My lord, my lord...huh!" Li Zongming shook his sleeves violently, turned and left.

As soon as Li Zongming left, the rest of the officials, who were holding on to it, hurriedly followed Li Zongming as if they had received an amnesty. Today's so-called just action to arrest the culprit of the snow disaster has finally become a farce.

Wang Junlin stared at the backs of Li Zongming and others, and said, "When will the food for those nobles and big landlords arrive?"

Beside Shen Guang immediately said: "Report to Lord Hou, in two days at most, all the food will be delivered outside Jincheng."

The turmoil subsided temporarily, and Wang Junlin suppressed the case in an incomparably overbearing way. However, this method fell short in the end. At that time, the arrow was on the string, and Wang Junlin was forced to do nothing. If there was a more gentle method, he would not choose to use this overbearing and vicious method to eliminate the disaster.

"At the end of today, people will be sent out to buy grain, but they will return empty-handed. The merchants in the east and west of the city are unwilling to sell us grain, and there is a lot of resentment between the officials and the people in the city. Rolling eyes and cursing, the wine shop no longer sells wine to us. The humble job sent people out to buy some things for Lord Hou. When I walked around the city, there were always a few rotten eggs and rotten leaves on my forehead. They can't find anyone... Lord Hou, look at this posture, they want to isolate us." Yang Hushi said cautiously beside him.

Wang Junlin was stunned for a long time, then sighed with a wry smile: "The Li family of Longxi is really powerful in Yongzhou, but if they can cover the sky with one hand, I don't believe it..."

"Hou Ye, we were ordered by the governor to have ten days left of food in our army, and the food in the barracks can only last for three days. We've run out of food. Why don't you use that Li Fengmu to threaten the Longxi Li family." Yang Hushi said with a bitter face.

Food is the foundation of everything, whether it is the hearts of the people or the army, only enough food can hold them in the palm of your hand, especially in the current disaster, food is especially precious.

I have to say that the Longxi Li family grasped the key points, but Wang Junlin didn't want to use Li Fengmu as a **** in the secret fight with the Longxi Li family at this time.

Although Wang Junlin is powerful, if there is no food, the 30,000 state army he has just controlled is a toothless tiger, unable to jump up. Countless historical facts have been recorded, no matter how loyal and invincible the army is, as long as they run out of food, they will become the most terrifying demons.

Wang Junlin dared to reveal his identity, and the capital of his arrogance and domineering was that he controlled the 30,000 state army, but if the state army collapsed due to food, no matter how powerful Wang Junlin was, he would only be alone. Use the most primitive method to completely erase it from this world.

Li Zongming's calculation is very precise, and from a common sense point of view, it is indeed feasible.

"Whoever dares to sell grain to the chief yamen and the army of the state government in the small and large shops in the messenger city, don't blame me for being rude!" Li Zongming stroked his beard and said in a deep voice.

Dong Bo nodded: "The soldiers in the army will also pay attention. If someone does not have the eyes to sell food to the chief yamen, he will chop up his whole family first. The lower officials are only worried that Wang Junlin ordered the army to rob the food." Food."

Li Zongming squinted his eyes and smiled, "Hahaha, I am waiting for this kind of order from him, it's a pity that Wang Junlin would not be so stupid."

…

…

Two days later, early in the morning, Chen Shi.

The sun has just emerged sleepily from the east, and the fiery red ball, with a hint of laziness, hangs lazily on the horizon in the east of the desert, slowly rising reluctantly.

Outside the southern city of Jincheng, the nobles and landlords finally delivered the food.

The food provided by nearly a hundred nobles and big landlords added up to 100,000 shi, enough to feed 100,000 victims for three months. However, Wang Junlin has a bottom line. The bottom line is that the food must be returned. The process of borrowing food can be more ruthless, but the food must be returned.

This is Wang Junlin's promise to the landlords and nobles.

Wang Junlin is very clear in his heart that no one is a saint, including Wang Junlin, if he pours a lot of water, when it overflows, the overflowing part can be selflessly dedicated. If the personality is a little bit bigger, You can also take out a little bit of what is in the bowl, if there is more, you will turn your face.

This is not selfishness, but human nature. The human nature of the vast majority of people in the world can be dedicated, but it must not be dedicated to all. Half of it must be considered.

So Wang Junlin first used his life and death to force them to take out food, and then gave them enough confidence to borrow food in the name of the government without worrying about repaying their debts.

Of course Wang Junlin cannot be the master of Qi, but the governor Wang Tong can. Wang Junlin has already made the master for Wang Tong without Wang Tong's consent. Tong knows what the people of Yongzhou will do after the crisis is resolved.

With one hundred thousand shi of grain, it can be said that Wang Junlin has collected all the semi-invisible grain storage in Yongzhou. Therefore, food is the biggest and most effective thing to stabilize people's hearts.

Wang Junlin got the news in advance that the food would be delivered early this morning, so he sent people to set up a stand outside the south gate early in the morning, and then gathered all the people in the city and the disaster victims outside the city to the stand Next, one thing he had been planning for many days, after the food arrived, the time finally came.
