Chapter 108(2/2)
Chen Gong was so worried that he was sweating profusely, "Marquis Wen, there is no food seller in Xiaopei now, and the people have no way to make a living. If this continues, Xiaopei may be in chaos!"
Lu Bu pondered for a moment and then asked slowly, "Gongtai, go find the owner of the grain store that opened the door. I want to ask what is going on?"
Not long after, the soldiers who went out to look for people brought a middle-aged man, who was the owner of the open grain store in the city.
The middle-aged man followed the soldier into the room, saw Lu Bu, and saluted hurriedly.
"The villain Wang He has met Marquis Wen."
Lu Bu nodded, "Wang He, where are you from?"
Wang He hurriedly handed over his hand and said, "Young man is from Youzhou."
"Youzhou?"
Lu Bu was stunned, "Youzhou is so far away from Xuzhou, how come you are here?"
Wang He smiled bitterly and said, "The villain was originally doing business in Youzhou, but it was too chaotic there. In addition to many foreign races, Jizhou and Youzhou were fighting constantly, causing the local turmoil. Therefore, the villain looked over there
I really couldn’t live any longer, so I had no choice but to leave and come to Xiaopei.”
Lu Bu nodded, "Wang He, do you have relatives in Xiaopei?"
Wang He hurriedly handed over his hand, "I have a relative here. He was originally in the county government, but later went to Xuzhou."
Zhang Miao was so anxious that he couldn't bear it anymore when he saw Lu Bu chatting away without answering anything. "Wang He, let me ask you, why are there so many grain stores in the city closed?"
When Wang He was found, he had already made a guess in his mind. When he heard Zhang Miao's question, he knew that he had guessed correctly and hurriedly raised his hand and said.
"The villain doesn't know."
Zhang Miao was stunned, "How could you not know?"
Chen Gong suddenly said, "Wang He, don't you dare to say it? Don't worry. Marquis Wen is here to make the decision for you. Even if you say it, nothing will happen."
After hearing this, Wang He glanced at Lu Bu subconsciously, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly, "In fact, even if the villain doesn't tell me, you should be able to guess this matter."
Zhang Miao's expression changed, "Is it true that Chen Jiang and others want to cause trouble?"
Wang He didn't say anything, he just raised his hand.
Lu Bu looked at Wang He and asked slowly, "Wang He, since all the grain stores are closed, it must be the result of everyone's discussion.
Wang He, you must also know about this, but why do you still open the door?"
Wang He hurriedly handed over his hands and sighed and said, "Marquis Wen, I'll tell you the truth. I see that the people are pitiful. If I don't sell food, some people may starve to death. So I really can't bear it, so I open the door and sell some food to them."
"
After saying these words, Wang He sighed in his heart.
When he was in Youzhou, he understood a truth, that is, never go against those who have soldiers.
Youzhou Mu Liu Yu was not only powerful, but also a member of the royal family, but so what?
The local warlord Gongsun Zan still did not take him seriously and finally got rid of him.
Through this incident, Wang He has already understood that warlords with soldiers should try not to provoke them.
The method discussed by the gentry is indeed feasible, but they have always faced the humble and polite Tao Qian and the extremely kind Liu Bei.
Wang He was sure that if they met Gongsun Zan, they would regret coming up with this idea.
Their clever tricks are worthless in front of the big sword!
This is Wang He's idea, so he doesn't want to offend the local gentry, let alone Lu Bu, who has soldiers.
Gongsun Zan has a reputation for being ferocious, but despite this, he is still inferior to Lu Bu.
With many years of experience, Wang He was almost certain that the gentry in Xiaopei were simply dreaming about using this method to deal with Lu Bu.
However, of course he would not say these words, because this was his life-saving experience.
When Lu Bu heard Wang He's answer, he nodded and asked calmly, "Wang He, the grain stores in the city are closed now, and the people really can't provide enough food. Is there any way you can solve this problem?"
Hearing this, Wang He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, "Marquis Wen, I can't do anything!"
Lu Bu asked slowly, "Wang He, are you really helpless, or do you dare not say anything?"
"I!"
