"Well, it's very good. You kind people are so eager, and Wei is really pleased. Originally, when Wei saw this, he thought that all the good people would not accept Wei. This is very good! However, this time Wei is rushing to attack Jiangxia, but he is also somewhat lacking in military equipment. , I heard that Jiangxia is rich, I think you will not be stingy, and I hope you can help me sincerely!"
Zhu Wei still smiled and glanced at the bamboo slips placed in the hall, as if showing a hint of relief, and then began to blackmail unceremoniously.
Zhu Wei's gaze immediately turned to the first few wealthy families in the banquet hall. They can be regarded as Jiangxia's powerful and wealthy families in the second stage except for the Huang family.
Today, when hosting these big and small families in Xiling City, Zhu Wei naturally found out their family background in Jiangxia. Even if he wanted to blackmail them, he had to know how much they could get out of them.
At this moment, these big and small families in Xiling City can also be regarded as fish and meat placed on the zu, and Zhu Wei is a chef with a kitchen knife in his hand, ready to kill with the knife at any time.
The heads of the families who were targeted by Zhu Wei saw Zhu Wei's eyes and their hearts skipped a beat. One of them hurriedly got up and said, "My family is willing to send 200 million yuan to Qian Tanghou. , two thousand stones of food, for the son to support the army, but in the future, if the son has an order, my family will definitely support it with all our strength!"
"My family is also willing to offer 150 million yuan in money and [-] shi in grain!", "My family is also willing, and my family is too!"
The remaining two or three families also opened their mouths one after another, but they decreased one by one, as if they were automatically divided into seniority, using the first family to open their mouths as the standard, and the money and food were reduced little by little.
But this amount of effort was far less than Zhu Wei's original request for them, and for these people, it was even a drop in the bucket.
So Zhu Wei smiled noncommittally, and said, "Well, thank you for that, by the way, I heard that wealthy families often like to collect, oh, everyone, don't get me wrong, Wei is not trying to steal everyone's favor, but now There are some treasures in the guards' hands, but it is useless to keep them in the army, can I exchange some gold and food with you!"
Zhu Wei felt that direct extortion was really not very easy to do, and it was not good to spread it out, like plundering in the Three Kingdoms game system, so he thought of some methods used by corrupt officials before holding a banquet. It is to use some so-called antiques at a low price and sell them to people who pay bribes, and then they can collect money in a fair manner.
Now that Zhu Wei changed his name, he didn't forcefully ask for money and food from these big and small families in Xiling City. He just said that he was exchanging things, which would sound much better, but of course Zhu Wei has the final say on the price.
After discussing this matter between Zhu Wei and Wang Yuyan, although Wang Yuyan felt that what Zhu Wei had done was a little too cunning, she agreed.
After hearing Zhu Wei's words, the representatives of the big and small families in Xiling City were stunned for a moment. They didn't know the methods of bribery in later generations. After hearing Zhu Wei's words, they still didn't understand Zhu Wei's meaning.
Some simple-minded people couldn't help thinking that Zhu Wei really wanted to exchange the antiques and other treasures confiscated from Huang's family to which Huang Zu belonged, and they became a little excited.
However, no matter what these people thought, they still gave Zhu Wei a lot of face on the surface, and agreed one by one, "Naturally, naturally, if we have gold and food, we will definitely be willing!", "General, but there are good things What, even if my family spends all their wealth, they are willing to exchange for it!", "Yes, yes!"
"Well, good! Haha, Wei Wei was still a little worried at first... But now it seems that the good leaders in Jiangxia are really not loyal to Huang Zu. Come, come and give these bribery lists, young and strong rosters, etc. Carry them all out and set them on fire! It's annoying to see, and Wei Du is a bit misunderstood!"
Zhu Wei pretended to call for soldiers, and carried out the bamboo slips that had been piled up in the banquet hall, and then burned them directly outside the banquet hall.
But the fire was burned, but Zhu Wei's words still made the big and small family representatives in the banquet hall secretly startled. Zhu Wei has already seen it, which means that Zhu Wei is also clear about what they did before. That's right, Zhu Wei burned these bamboo slips in front of them, so the meaning is different.
And Zhu Wei's eyes swept across the banquet hall again, but he smiled slightly, raised his wine bar and said, "Everyone, Wei is very happy, come, everyone, have another drink together!"
"Drink together!", "Drink better!"
The representatives of big and small families in the banquet hall hurriedly raised their wine cups to pay respects to Zhu Wei, so they drank another cup of wine.
Zhu Wei put down the wine baron, and naturally there was a maidservant serving Zhu Wei with dirty wine, but Zhu Wei clapped his hands, "Well, just now I heard that all good capitals are willing to support Wei, but Wei fears that everyone is drunk As for the above, please write the following papers now, so that we can continue to drink together, and we will not return today if we are not drunk!"
When Zhu Wei clapped his hands, someone naturally sent a palm-wide bamboo slip book to each family in the banquet, asking them to write down all the donations they just said or haven't said.
Although there were not many of these, since they had spoken, Zhu Wei naturally couldn't let them swallow their words. Now that they are writing it down, they can't rely on it.
Of course, this is just the beginning, and they will need to write more inscriptions in the future, so it is also a necessary process to take out this bamboo slip book now.
Anyway, the representatives of the big and small families of Xiling City in the banquet hall saw this and no one dared to object. Everyone could only bow their heads and write at the same time. Now that there is no contrast like before, they really can’t do anything if they write less. After all, Zhu Weina This kind of performance shows that Zhu Wei already knows what they have done, so he is still cheating and playing tricks, and he doesn't want to live anymore, right?
Soon, everyone started to write down how much money and food they were willing to offer and so on. Basically, they were based on the previous reports, and each wrote according to the wealth of each family and their support for Zhu Wei. With the number on it, the bamboo slip book was put aside for the time being.
In fact, doing so can also have an advantage, that is, some families who intend to take refuge in Zhu Wei can take the opportunity to express their sincerity, but they will not be seen by other families.
To be honest, now is also the time for Jiangxia's big and small families to reshuffle. At this time, Zhu Wei, the new owner of Jiangxia who took the initiative to take refuge in Jiangxia, is actually an opportunity to climb high, which is tantamount to expressing his opinion to Zhu Wei.
All of this will basically be known to Zhu Wei when he reads the content written above.
But now, seeing this, Zhu Wei just laughed again, "Okay, that's it, everyone, have another drink!"
"Drink with the son!", "Drink better!"
Now that they already felt that they had already paid for their food, the representatives of these big and small families were relieved a lot, and they all drank a jug of turbid wine one after another...
