When Guo Yi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

At this moment, Ye Chen is the lord of Youzhou, the hussar general of the Han Empire, and the champion prince. He has a noble status and a transcendent status.

And Samsara City has a strong army and a lot of money, so there is no need to consider the possible influence of those wealthy gentry.

You can completely let go and rectify those wealthy gentry.

To put it simply, those who follow Ye Chen will prosper, and those who go against Ye Chen will perish.

Thinking of this, Guo Yi hurriedly bowed and said: "My Lord, I am too afraid of the power of those wealthy gentry. Please forgive me, Lord."

When Ye Chen heard this, he couldn't help but smile, and then said:

"After serving as a filial piety, remember one thing. No matter how capable or powerful the gentry is, those who obey will live, and those who disobey will be killed without mercy! This world will never allow the existence of tycoons who disobey my orders. Every one will be killed, and even ten thousand will be killed. Kill ten thousand!”

"Yes! Lord!" When Guo Yi heard this, his eyes suddenly opened, and then he bowed heavily and responded.

"My lord, I will leave this matter to the general, and the general will promise that he will never let any gentry commit fraud!" Han Dang exhaled for a long time, then bowed and bowed loudly.

At this moment, Han Dang was in a very excited mood, even excited.

Because Ye Chen, the lord, is not thinking about the interests of the gentry, but the interests of the people, and he is ready to rectify western Liaoning and even the entire Youzhou.

This is what a wise and powerful "emperor" should do, instead of worrying about the power of the gentry, compromising again and again, regardless of the life and death of the people.

In that case, how can Youzhou be stable, peaceful, and prosperous?

When Ye Chen heard this, he glanced at Han Dang, and then shouted:

"Okay! I'll leave this matter to you. After Fengxiao posts the notice, take action immediately. If you comply, write it down and keep it for future use. If you don't comply, the Jinjin rebels will be searched. If food is found, they will be punished as rebels immediately. If the food is moved away, anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

Ye Chen bought grain at twice the market price and left the gentry with enough food for their families for two years, so they couldn't starve to death.

If you don't follow Ye Chen's orders, you are going against Ye Chen. How could Ye Chen be soft-hearted?

"Yes! Lord!" When Han Dang heard this, he bowed and worshiped without hesitation.

"Lord, please go and write a notice right now." Guo Yi looked at Ye Chen at this time, then bowed and worshiped.

"Go." Ye Chen nodded and then said.

Guo Yi bowed again, and then left the hall of the city lord's mansion with Han Dang.

Not long after, notices regarding the purchase of grain were posted in Liaoxi City, causing an instant sensation.

XX House.

"Damn it, what does Ye Youzhou mean? Is he trying to cut off our roots?"

"Yes, the market price is twice as high. Doesn't he know that the price of food has increased five times, and there is still a price but no market?"

"He is competing with us again! Send the order, close the door of the house tightly, and don't let anyone in!"

XX House.

"Thief! Thief! I worked so hard to save so much food, and half of it was purchased at a high price. Ye Youzhou wants to rob me of my food with just a notice. Why!"

"We must not sell it. If we sell it, we will lose money. We have finally caught up with this disaster year and have hoarded a large amount of food. The price of food will become more and more expensive later on. How can we sell it so cheaply."

"Yes, we can't sell it. Not only can't we sell it, we have to send people to Luoyang to sue Ye Chen. He is corrupt, perverts the law, and takes plunder by force. He is not worthy of being a shepherd in Youzhou!"

XX House.

"This hussar general has come with bad intentions. This order contains murderous intent. Although it is not stated clearly, but if I read it correctly, if our Wang family does not follow the notice, a disaster will surely come!"

"Does the champion really dare to kill him?"

"If he didn't dare, he wouldn't have issued such a notice as soon as he arrived in Liaoxi..."

"Then what should we do? Is it true that according to the notice, the food will only be used by the family for two years, and the rest will be sold to him?"

"Sell, you must sell. Not only must you sell, but you must also sell at the original price. Remember, this cannot be done carelessly, otherwise the Wang family will be expelled from Youzhou!"

One after another, the doors of the mansions of wealthy gentry were closed, ignoring the notices posted by Ye Chen.

However, at this moment, there were some wealthy gentry, cart after cart of food, transported to the city lord's palace, and sold it to Ye Chen at the lowest price.

After Ye Chen got the news, he directly ordered these gentry to be taken to the city lord's mansion to have a drink and a meal.

Just when Ye Chen received these gentry who took the initiative to show their goodwill, Han Dang raised his butcher knife in Liaoxi City, and the blood of the gentry was killed one after another, and the blood flowed like a river.

At first, Han Dang was not ruthless. Who would have imagined, but a wealthy gentry was used to being domineering and even attacked Han Dang's soldiers. One of the soldiers was shot to death by an arrow by the wealthy gentry's thugs, which made him angry all of a sudden. Han Dang went on a killing spree.

Damn it, when we were defending the city, everyone huddled at home and refused to contribute. Damn it, the invading Jinjin army was wiped out. They all showed off their teeth and claws, and even dared to kill people.

How could Han Dang not be angry?

These wealthy gentry who dared to kill people all had children serving as officials in western Liaoning, otherwise they would not be so courageous.

Han Dang had some worries before, but now that he has followed Ye Chen, he doesn't have such worries anymore.

Moreover, this was the order Ye Chen gave him, so why didn't he dare to take action.

After Ye Chen later received a report from the soldiers, he learned that a soldier had been killed. He was immediately furious and sent the Samsara Legion directly.

This time, many wealthy gentry were frightened, and none of them dared to resist and resisted Ye Chen.

Not only did he hand over the food honestly, but he also refused to accept any money.

Unfortunately, they have already been on Guo Yi's blacklist.

Not long after, all the thugs from these families were arrested. Among the children of their families, those who served in Liaoxi were also removed and replaced by those from the families who had been friendly with Ye Chen from the beginning. Children.

Of course, these people have all been "interviewed" by Ye Chen. If they don't have the ability, Ye Chen will not use them at all.

It was a dark night with a cool breeze, but it was mixed with the smell of blood.

Ye Chen's thunderous methods completely changed the officialdom in western Liaoning and also attracted roaring applause from the people.

Because after Ye Chen got the food again, he directly opened the warehouse to stock it.

More than 80% of the eight million people in the city have no food stored at home, and they don't have much money with them.

If you want to have enough to eat, there is no other way but government relief.

How could the people not like Ye Chen's decision, how could they be unhappy.

Because all this is done so that they can have enough to eat and not starve to death.

The people were grateful, grateful, and moved, so how could they say that Ye Chen was cruel.

Not to mention, Ye Chen's arrival solved the crisis of Liaoxi City's destruction.

It can be said that without Ye Chen, once Liaoxi City was destroyed, these people, even those gentry, would definitely be persecuted unimaginably.

Except for those wealthy gentry families who had been repressed, no one in Liaoxi City did not miss Ye Chen's kindness.

City Lord's Mansion, lobby.

After listening to Guo Yi's report on the situation in the city, Ye Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then said: "Not bad, not bad, the people's support can be used..."

As soon as Ye Chen finished speaking, a soldier from the Samsara Legion hurriedly ran in, knelt down on one knee and worshiped loudly: "Your Majesty, General Zhao Yunzheng, General Dianxiong, General Gao Shun, and General Zhao Meng have arrived with their troops. Liaoxi City!"
