Chapter 299 Clearly seeking peace, but speaking as if they were cooperating

"That's right, you all went together, how could anyone know if you had colluded long ago."

Facing the questioning, Qi Yu's face was indifferent: "If you don't believe what I say, forget it."

"I'm just telling you what I know, believe it or not."

Qi Yu ignored them and sent people to distribute the herbs.

Ten carts of herbs are not a small amount, but there are too many sick livestock in Pingji Pass, and these herbs are not enough.

Even if the concentration of the medicine is reduced, it is still not enough. Those

who didn't get the herbs cried outside all day long.

Some got the medicine, some didn't, and those who didn't get the medicine naturally made a fuss.

Gradually, everyone couldn't hold on any longer.

"Gan Fanren is really something. He clearly knew that many of our livestock here were sick, but why did he only give us ten carts of medicine? He should have given us more."

Wan Zhou collapsed on the chair and sneered: "You might as well let Gan Fanren give you the entire Qingtai Pass."

"You should understand that Gan Fanren is on the opposite side of us. It's good enough that he didn't send troops to us immediately and attacked us."

Qi Yu nodded: "In two or three months, it will be the Dragon Boat Festival. By then, all the passes will send envoys to offer congratulatory gifts. By that time, the news of Gan Fanren's rebellion will inevitably leak out."

Hearing Qi Yu's words, someone excitedly patted the armrests of the chair: "Great, that's great. That means if we hold on for two or three months, we can be saved."

Wan Zhou was so angry that he picked up the teacup at hand and smashed it.

"You have a dog's brain on your neck!"

"If the court knew that he was rebelling, they would definitely send troops. Then we would be a threat to Gan Fanren, and Gan Fanren naturally didn't want to be attacked from both sides."

"So, before the Dragon Boat Festival, Gan Fanren will definitely conquer Pingji Pass."

Everyone felt a chill down their spines after hearing Qi Yu's analysis.

Wan Zhou nodded: "Gan Fanren is giving us a chance now. If we still don't want to obey, he will send troops to attack Pingji Pass."

"When that happens, many things will be beyond our control."

No matter how stupid these officials are, they still know how powerful Pingji Pass is.

Pingji Pass has much fewer troops than the other three passes, and any of the three passes can easily attack them.

"Don't make Gan Fanren sound so great. He's just a businessman. How can he be so powerful?"

"When your majesty's army arrives, he will be beaten to a pulp."

Even now, some people still look down on Gan Fanren and think that he is just a little clown.

But in fact, Gan Fanren was able to conquer the three passes, which means he is definitely not a little clown.

They underestimated Gan Fanren.

"While Gan Fanren has no plans to use force now, you should think more about the future."

"No matter whether Gan Fanren wins or loses, he will definitely not attack Pingji Pass first."

"There are two possible outcomes for Pingji Pass."

Wan Zhou spoke slowly while slumped in his chair.

"Please tell me, Wan Zhixian, what are the two endings?"

Wan Zhou stretched out his hand: "The first way is that we surrender, but it is only voluntary, or it is hard to say whether we surrender by force."

"The second way is that we are fighting with Gan Fanren, and the emperor's people come."

"This is good, this is good."

Hearing this, many officials laughed.

"It's good. At that time, many officials in Pingji Pass were killed. His Majesty will send new officials. By then, the power of the entire Pingji Pass will be replaced, and none of us can expect a good life."

Wan Zhou's words made everyone's face look even uglier.

From this point of view, following Gan Fanren seems to be a better result. What you get in return for stubborn resistance is not necessarily the court's reuse and reward.

According to their understanding of the court, if they unfortunately died, even their pensions would probably be embezzled.

It is not worth dying in vain.

Following Gan Fanren, at least there is still a way to survive.

"How about this, let's get a wooden box, and everyone puts their own ideas in the box. If more than half of the notes are in the form of submission, then we will submit."

The person who proposed it had a good idea. If the notes are stacked up and put in the box, no one will know his true thoughts, and he will not offend anyone.

Unexpectedly, after the results were counted, everyone was silent.

No other reason.

Those who shouted loudly that Gan Fanren was a traitor, disdained to associate with Gan Fanren, and wanted to fight Gan Fanren to the end all wrote in submission.

How do you know?

Because there is not a single person in the wooden box who disagrees to submit.

The silence at this time was their last stubbornness.

All the officials were extremely silent.

Since these officials of Pingji Pass found out that their little tricks were discovered, they stopped pretending one by one, and urged Qi Yu to make peace as soon as possible.

Qi Yu had no choice but to discuss many matters of peace overnight, and came to see Gan Fanren early the next morning.

He didn't want to be so urgent, but the livestock in Pingji Pass were still sick and urgently needed herbs, and he couldn't delay any longer.

Gan Fanren didn't expect them to move so quickly, and he was surprised when he heard that they asked for a meeting.

This time Gan Fanren brought Gan Tian with him.

Everyone sat in the courtyard of Gan's house, set out good wine and food, and talked in detail about the future of Pingji Pass.

When they saw the little girl in Gan Fanren's arms, many people were surprised.

Gan Fanren smiled and said, "This is my little girl, not even one year old yet. She can't leave home for now. Please forgive me."

Qi Yu saw that Gan Fanren, a man, was very patient in taking care of the child, and he had more respect for him.

Qi Yu sorted out his thoughts and said slowly, "We saw a lot of things in this pass a few days ago. I didn't expect that the originally dilapidated Qingtai Pass would become like this."

"After I went back, I talked with the officials of Pingjiguan at night by candlelight. We benefited a lot. It's a pity that we don't have the great talent and strategy of the adults. No matter what, we can't think of how to make Pingjiguan as prosperous as Qingtaiguan."

"So we want to ask the adults for advice."

Qi Yu obviously wanted to ask Gan Fanren, but he still spoke as if he was cooperating.

[So cunning, so difficult to pester. ]

[But the question he asked is too simple. In my opinion, Pingjiguan is full of treasures. Goat milk and cow milk can be made into double-skin milk, desserts, and milk tea. ]

[Wool can be made into sweaters and quilts, which are warm and thick. Sheep skin can also be made into bags, clothes, and shoes. ]

[Sheep horns and cow horns can also be made into various handicrafts and combs. 】

【Mutton hot pot, lamb soup are very delicious, lamb skewers are even better, people who like the smell will swallow their tongues, it's a pity that the oxen can't be killed, otherwise the beef jerky would be so delicious that it would kill people. 】

【Deserts and grasslands can be opened to outsiders, take outsiders to play, charge them one or two hundred coins a day. 】
