"The new rations have entered the warehouse?" The nobles who were enduring the pain and drinking the 'pig food' heard the Lvbu's Army messenger's report and pricked up their ears.
"Isn't this Lü Bu running out of ammunition and rations? Isn't he borrowing rations from everyone here? How can there be new rations in the warehouse? "Now is not the autumn harvest season, where did the new rations come from?
Moreover, the whole warehouse was filled up? Wancheng City is the administrative center of Lujiang. His granary is not small and can store more than 100,000 Dans of rations. Now it is full and there are more than 4,000 Dans of rations. How is this possible?
Where did he find the rations? When Sun Ce's Army left, they basically emptied the granary.
Huh? Is he trying to create an illusion that he has a lot of rations? Or is he trying to puff himself up at his own cost? This is the best case. He doesn't even need to give the 100 Dans of rations! Everyone present did not believe it.
"Go, bring the extra rations to the Administration Mansion!" Lü Bu waved his hand and said.
"Yes!" The soldier accepted the order and left.
Not long after, carts after carts were carried by troops of soldiers and placed outside the Governor's Office.
"Che, so what if there are a lot of carts? Who knows if there are rations inside! Maybe there are stones and sand. "Someone said.
"Haha!" Lü Bu waved his hand and a guard beside him nodded his head and came forward to help. He accidentally tore a cloth bag full of rice.
"Huala Huala!" The white rice poured on the ground like water.
"What are you doing? How precious is the food? Hurry up and pack it!" Lü Bu 'angrily' said.
"Yes, yes!" The guard nodded his head in fear and looked for another cloth bag to put the rice inside.
Is it really rice? Looking at the color and style, it seems to be high quality food. Where did this Lü Bu get it from? If the Lvbu's Army had such rations and 40,000 soldiers, it would be difficult to deal with them. Some of the smaller family heads were even considering if they should lean towards the Lvbu Army.
Amidst the disbelief of the crowd, Lü Bu stood up and said, "Everyone, I originally wanted to borrow your rations. But since everyone is in trouble and my new rations have arrived, then forget it! Looking at the fact that all of you are able to clench your teeth and generously help us when we are in a difficult situation! "Lu Bu deliberately emphasized the word 'generosity'.
"Bu is here to return the favor. As the saying goes, a drop of water should be repaid with a gushing spring. Bu doesn't have a gushing spring, but I can still help everyone. Everyone who helped Bu just now can get double the amount of food back!"
"That Wang Clan Leader, didn't he say that his family didn't have enough food to eat? Come, come, come. Take forty stone coins. Consider it a reward from me, Lü Bu! "Lü Bu pointed at the Wang Clan Leader who was crying about being poor from the start.
"Ah!" The Wang Clan Leader was stunned and panicked. Didn't have enough food to eat? What a joke. That was just to fool Lü Bu. Even if half of the landowning households starved to death, they would still have delicious food to eat.
"And that Cheng Clan Leader! If you take sixty stone coins, not only will you get more, you can also go back and sell your rations to buy some cloth to make clothes! " Seeing Lü Bu's expression, the Cheng Clan Leader finally understood the feeling of being a beggar.
The two of them didn't know where to put their hands. If they didn't take it, then they wouldn't be giving face to Lü Bu. If they didn't take it, then they would be looking down on him! If they took it, then they would be admitting that their family was poor to the point that they didn't have enough food to eat. Furthermore, how could they take back forty stone coins?
"Take it, why don't we take it!" Chen Yao sneered and said, "This Lü Bu will give us as much as he wants!" Chen Yao's information was absolutely reliable. Lü Bu's rations were not much. Otherwise, Chen Gong would not go and borrow rations. Moreover, there was no place near Lujiang that could supply rations to Lü Bu. To the north was Shouchun. Shouchun had become a ghost town. There were only a few thousand refugees living there. It was impossible for there to be rations. To the south was Jiangdong. Jiangdong wanted to eat Lü Bu, so how could they give Lü Bu any rations? In the west, there was a war, so it was impossible for there to be rations.
The reason why Chen Yao dared to raise the price of rations in Wancheng City was because he knew this information. He was not afraid that the Lvbu's Army would buy rations, but he was afraid that Lü Bu would not be able to afford it.
Now that Lü Bu took out these rations, it should be the last rations of his Lvbu's Army. Why did he take it out? Tell us that Lü Bu does not lack rations, so we can lower the price of rations? You want to show off this kind of trick?
"General Lü, according to your arrangement, my Chen family donated two hundred stone coins. Can we get four hundred stone coins?" Chen Yao stepped forward and looked at Lü Bu and said.
"Yes!" Lü Bu also looked at Chen Yao. This person was the current head of the Chen family. Before, he was not the head of the family. Before, it was Chen Rui, and Chen Rui died in his hands.
"Then I would like to thank General Lü!" Chen Yao raised the corner of his mouth. The rations of the Lvbu's Army was less than ten thousand stone coins. If he distributed the rations to them, the Lvbu's Army may run out of rations tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. The price of rations in the market will also not drop. At that time, he would like to see how Lü Bu will deal with it.
With Chen Yao taking the lead, the other family heads naturally followed suit and said, "Thank you General Lü, General Lü is righteous!" You give a few stone coins, I give a few hundred stone coins. More than four thousand stone coins of rations have been distributed.
Chen Yao was laughing. They were laughing at how Lü Bu will deal with it.
Lü Bu was also laughing. He was laughing at these noble families. Looking at their attitude, they really showed the ugliness of the world.
"Hey, something is wrong!" Wu Family Head suddenly found something wrong.
"What's wrong? Old Wu, is General Lü's rations not enough for you to share?! "Someone laughed. Although four thousand stone coins was a lot, some of the people present did not get a share.
However, they did not mind at all. A few dozen stone coins were nothing in their eyes.
Wu Family Head felt that something was wrong. What was wrong with him was not the rations, but the carriages that carried the rations.
The style of the carriages, and the logo, the Wu Family Head felt that it was very familiar. He turned around and ran towards the carriages.
"This, this!" Wu Family Head's eyes suddenly widened. He finally knew why he was so familiar with these carriages. How was this familiar? These were his own carriages.
These were his Wu Family Rice Company's carriages. But now, they appeared here?
What was going on? What was going on? Wu Family Head had a bad premonition. What about the rations? Wu Family Head was a little panicked. He quickly ran to the pile of rations to take a look.
Although the bags of rice were common, each rice company's method of tying the bags was different. So, when he got closer, he knew which one was the owner.
When he got closer, Wu Family Head finally breathed a sigh of relief. These were not his Wu Family Rice Company's bags. These were not his Wu Family Rice Company's rations.
Wu Family Head wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Old Wu, are you okay?" Someone asked.
"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Although Wu Family Head was puzzled as to why his family's carriages would appear here, as long as it was not his family's rations, he was fine.
"If you are fine, why are you sweating like this?" Someone teased.
"Hahahaha!" Wu Family Head also laughed perfunctorily.
At this moment, a person who looked like a steward suddenly rushed over from outside the governor's mansion.
"Huh?" Wu Family Head was very strange. Isn't that the housekeeper of Yuan family? Yuan family was in Wancheng city and was closest to the Administration Mansion. In the past, Wu Family Head often went to Yuan family, so he was very familiar with this housekeeper.
Why did he come here? Did he want his family's master to go back? Yuan family's mistress was a tigress. Yuan family's master was afraid of his wife, this was a well-known fact.
"Brother Yuan, why did sister-in-law call you back?" After being teased for so long, Wu Family Head also wanted to tease others.
"Now is General Lü's banquet, it is not appropriate for you to go back like this!"
Wu Family Head thought that his teasing would make Yuan family's master very embarrassed. Who knew, Brother Yuan actually stared at him and pushed him away. "Get out of my way!"
"Why are you angry? Can't you take a joke? " Wu Family Head was also very angry. He was told to get out of the way and was pushed aside. He was the head of the family.
"Disaster, disaster!" The Yuan Family's Patriarch ran all the way to Chen Yao and the others' side while shouting.
"Well? What are you doing in a panic! You are the head of the family! Calm down, calm down! " Chen Yao frowned. He didn't think highly of these small family's people. Now that he saw this Yuan family's master panicking like a marketplace, he was even more disgusted.
"No, no!" Yuan family's master wanted to explain, but he was too anxious, so the words were stuck in his mouth.
Another person who looked like a housekeeper appeared. He was the second housekeeper of Chen Yao's family and was in charge of managing the provisions. "Master, master is in trouble!" The Chen family's housekeeper whispered into Chen Yao's ear.
"What!" Chen Yao suddenly jumped to his feet, and his voice grew louder. His face was filled with anger, shock, and disbelief!
