Qin Ge raised his glass and the two of them drank. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Yin Li was a little drunk. Qin Ge held the wine glass and pondered for a moment: "I have been walking all the way. The land in Ying County is deserted. Now the spring plowing is about to begin." So, if you miss the spring plowing, these thousands of miles of fertile soil will be wasted, and there will be no harvest in the autumn. I wonder what should I do?"
Yin Li held the wine bowl in silence and hesitated. They rebelled, broke into the government, burned, killed, and looted the nobles and hoarded a lot of wealth. However, as the army took shape and consumed a lot of money and food every day, the hoarded food and property gradually emptied out. , they had to loot the wealthy households, but now that they were surrounded by the Yellow Turbans' nest in Jizhou to the north, Qingzhou to the east, and the Free Territory to the south, Yin Li gradually found himself in a situation where there was no land to rob.
Yin Li sighed: "I am indeed an expert. Now Boss Zang Ba has organized the people in the territory to start spring plowing. But I don't know anything about these things. I can't do anything about it. It's really sad. I have more than 300,000 brothers here." To feed!”
Qin Ge held the wine bowl and said, "I have a plan to solve my food and grass problem. I don't know if I should be a leader or not!"
Yin Li quickly took Qin Ge's hand and said, "Brother, please tell me, we brothers still have any concerns, but it doesn't matter!"
Qin Ge drank all the wine in the bowl and said: "You provide the land, and I will provide the people with the land to farm. But the people will pay you the land rent, and I will get a lot of food and grass!"
Yin Li opened his mouth in shock and said, "What...what did you say?" Qin Ge repeated the plan of the trip.
"Your Majesty! This must not be done. This is a plan by Qin Ge to destroy Guo! He lets the people come to Ying County to farm, hides elite soldiers, and waits for an opportunity to invade Ying County. Du Yuan is a lesson learned from the past!" A scribe-like man said The man said quickly to Yin Li.
"Shut up!" Yin Li yelled angrily and turned to Qin Ge: "Brother! You have elite soldiers now, why don't you leave the people to farm and develop on their own?"
Qin Ge drank the wine in the bowl and said with a smile: "Since I ask this question, you can trust me, so I will tell you the truth. There are currently five million refugees gathered in Mou County. They come here because they have no choice but to admire my name. There are so many people, how do you think I can support them? Du Yuan, since he took over Bo County, he has been burning, killing and looting every day. The soldiers even feed on the flesh of the people. Such crazy people. , anyone with a bit of humanity would like to cut him into pieces! Yes! Many people have asked me whether I sent troops to attack Du Yuan! I will tell my brother today that I will destroy him, even if he does not send troops If he comes to attack me, I will destroy him! Only by destroying him can the people of Bo County be saved from the ravages of this evil ghost! Only by destroying him can I have enough land to support these innocent people who came to seek refuge! In these troubled times, I, Qin Ge, don’t want to think about anything else. I just want to find a way to survive for these innocent people. Now people everywhere have settled on land, but more than 800,000 people currently have no land to farm. I am desperate. I just came to see you for help, brother! I, Qin Ge, am begging you today! As long as you can give these people a way to live, the food they pay you every year can be negotiated, as long as they are full, I, Qin Ge, have nothing to ask for. !" After leaving the table, Xiang Yinli knelt down!
Yin Li quickly left his seat and supported Qin Ge. His eyes were a little red and he said: "Brother! My good brother! I can't afford your bow. Your bow represents five million people. This Mount Tai is not ! No one in this world can be worthy of your honor!" He said with some excitement and incoherence, patting Qin Ge on the shoulder and said: "If all the courts in this world are good officials like you, how can my brothers and I? Reduced to this level! Okay! I promise you, I will allocate all the six towns adjacent to Mou County to you as farming land for the people!"
"Brother! You must not do this!" Several bandit leaders quickly stepped forward to dissuade him.
"Shut up! Shut the hell up! I believe brother Qin is sincere, and our brothers are sincere! Whoever dares to gossip and destroy the relationship between my brothers, I, Yin Li, will chop him up alive!" Yin Li! He raised his hand and knocked away a bandit leader, and roared at the leaders. Yin Li is fierce and cruel, with a moody personality. He will often call you brothers one second and kill you the next. But everyone really didn't understand why Yin Li was so devoted to Qin Ge. Even if he was Zang Ba, Yin Li would sometimes fight against him, but every time he met Qin Ge, Yin Li looked so righteous.
Yin Li took Qin Ge's hand and said, "According to the official tax law, each citizen pays 50% of the food grains a year. Brother, I only need 30%. Brother, how about you take 20%?"
Qin Ge was stunned for a while. He suddenly couldn't figure out what Yin Li was thinking. What he meant just now was very clear, all taxes and grains could be given to Yin Li. Yin Li chuckled and said, "That's it! We brothers do business together, and I, Yin Li, don't have the habit of eating alone! This is a matter of principle!" Qin Ge was overjoyed. In fact, this time the farmer's advanced sowing method was used for farming. According to Xu Ken, the yield of each mu of land can be increased by at least 30%. In this case, if Yin Li collects 30% of the original tax, he can also collect 30%. Then the people can get 70% of the food based on the original land. It can be said that everyone is happy.
The two drank together. Qin Ge was a little too drunk, so he was helped by Dian Wei to rest. Yin Li leaned on the tiger-skin chair and gently pinched his forehead with his hands. Although his face was still full of drunkenness, his eyes were particularly bright. Yin Li was born in poverty, but he was able to reach this stage step by step and unify Ying County. His character was like a jackal, fierce, cunning, and moody, and his subordinates were afraid of him.
"The arrival of Qin Boxi this time has brought new changes to the development situation of Ying County, and will bring rain to our predicament!" Yin Li rubbed his forehead lightly and looked at the people sitting down.
The leaders of all the forces secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Yin Li, who had calmed down at this time, would be a treacherous and scheming master. Anyone who treats him as a simple-minded person with strong limbs will definitely die miserably. A second-rate military general cupped his fists and said, "Brother! Are you really going to hand over the land of six towns to Qin Ge? Qin Ge is just showing off!"
Yin Li sneered and said: "Stupid! Do you think Qin Boxi would like those broken towns? What he wants is the entire Mount Tai! You said he would give up the opportunity to regain Mount Tai and covet those towns? This kind of picks up sesame seeds and throws away watermelons. Things only idiots would do!”
The leaders of the forces suddenly looked at each other, some of them did not understand Yin Li's words. The leader, a second-rate warlock, brightened up and said: "I understand what the elder brother means. Now that the Yellow Turbans are uprising, the world will be in chaos, and there may be chaos. The five largest forces in Taishan County, Zang Ba, Free Leader, Huangjin Dao, us, and Wu Dun, all stand side by side. Judging from the current distribution of the forces, there will be two heroes, Qin Ge and Zang Ba, competing for hegemony in Taishan County in the future. What the eldest brother means is that Qin Gezhi is in the entire Taishan County and will never damage his reputation in Taishan County for a few towns!" Some leaders seemed to be thinking, but they were still confused.
Yin Li tapped his thigh lightly and smiled: "That's right! Although we occupy the land of two counties, the people have gone to brother Qin. Now he has people and we have the land. In the evolutionary sense, this is called Win-win!”
A leader asked in confusion: "Qin Ge clearly gave up 50% of all taxes to me just now, why does the elder brother want him to give 20%?"
Yin Li raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly: "Don't say such ruthless and meaningless words again. Two people are doing business together. Have you ever heard of a solitary eater? The most important thing in the Tao is the word righteousness. This kind of ruthless and meaningless words I, Yin Li, can't do it!" The leader immediately became silent and did not dare to speak.
Yin Li continued: "I have a personal relationship with Qin Boxi on the one hand, and I do admire him as a person. Now that Mount Tai is in chaos, those who have some ability are all encircling and developing their power, but he is the only one who can accept more than five million refugees, and for These refugees worked hard and did not hesitate to condescend for me. I, Yin Li, am convinced by this alone! Of course, my personal feelings are on the one hand. I also bring more than 300,000 brothers to make a living. As the boss, I naturally have to Looking for a way out for the brothers, but friendship cannot be used as food. In the future, Taishan County will inevitably have five heroes standing side by side, and in the end it will be Zang Ba and Qin brother who compete for hegemony. Zang Ba is born with a good foundation, and his subordinates win over powerful people from all walks of life in Taishan County. There are millions of bandits who have been reorganized. However, with the recent rise of Qin Boxi, he first defeated the Yellow Turbans and then Du Yuan. He also had figures such as Sun Guan, Man Chong, Dian Wei, and Wu Anguo under his command, and he developed The speed is staggering. Compared to Zang Ba, I am actually more optimistic about Qin Boxi, but now there is a huge difference in strength between the two. I nominally obey Zang Ba's command, and I can be on good terms with Qin Boxi secretly. This is called benefiting both sides. Now Qin Boxi The development is at a bottleneck stage. Instead of taking advantage of him and turning against him, I would rather help him in times of need and make good friends with him. Even if Qin Boxi rises in the future, there will be a way out for our brothers, even the Yangguan Avenue!"
The leaders of all the forces were suddenly stunned. They gave Yin Li a thumbs up and said, "Brother is really tall!"
Yin Li stood up from his seat and said: "Nowadays, the population of the six towns including Linxin and Linwen is less than one out of ten. With the addition of you guys, it is okay to fight, burn, kill and loot, but managing the land is a mess. These six towns are not in the same place." I would be grateful to God if you can cultivate 20% of the grain in your hands. This time, we can get 30% of the grain directly from Qin Boxi, and we don’t have to contribute. This can be said to be pie in the sky for us. Li Yishan, Lu Tailai, Luo Sanhu, you gathered your brothers respectively and led 20,000 troops to station in the three strongholds of Weihu, Heifeng and Ma'an to protect the six villages from being interfered by the nearby Yellow Turban Road, bandit forces and Wu Dun's men. Since you have talked with Qin Boxi Good business, these people are our food, clothing and parents. If something happens to my Yin Li territory, let me put my old face there, how can I hang around in Mount Tai in the future!" The three leaders came out and clasped their fists and said: "Yes! Big brother! "
Yin Li said with a cold light in his eyes: "Go down and tell the brothers that no one can touch a hair of the people who are farming in the six towns, and it is forbidden to step into the divided land. Whoever dares to disobey the prohibition will be chopped alive." Him! If you three can't control your brothers well, and one brother makes trouble, I'll cut off one of your fingers. If ten of you make trouble, I'll cut off one of your arms or legs. If fifty of you make trouble, then just go ahead and cut off one of your fingers. Come to me with your head!" The three leaders suddenly felt chills running down their spines. Yin Li's methods of control are so bloody. In this bandit world where strength is respected, only ruthlessness will make people respect you, and only Yin Li's orders will be preserved. Implementation of quality and quantity assurance.
