1175 Demonstration of strength

Liu Pei pressed down with both hands and said, "Okay, please sit down. I am not here today to show you a throne!"

Everyone bowed and bowed like an amnesty, and then sat down one by one.

Seeing that everyone had sat down, Liu Pei said again: "You may have seen that there is another place on the map covered. But many people should be able to see where this is, right?"

Many people nodded slightly, but didn't say anything. Liu Pei didn't say much, and directly reached out to pull off the last big piece of paper, revealing the map below. In between, the entire Shandong Province, half of the Liaodong Peninsula, as well as some areas of Hebei, Henan and Jiangsu were all painted red!

Just as everyone opened their eyes wide and were surprised, Liu Pei shouted: "I have the last identity at the same time, the General of Shandong, Daming!"

After the words fell, the people sitting there were silent for a moment, and the people sitting were making noises like a volcano eruption! The scene was much more violent than the situation just now! And the people on their left looked at their expressions with a smile on their faces, very happy!

At this time, the dozens of people sitting on the right were almost crazy! They had already seen from this map that an emerging empire was booming!

You know, since Lu Buwei "traded" Qin Yiren, all businessmen have regarded him as a model of success! But there are very few people who can encounter such opportunities!

Looking at the historical books, there is absolutely no shortage of such businessmen when dynasties change. They devote all their wealth to supporting someone or a family to achieve hegemony! Unfortunately, few successful people are few, while those who fail are like crucian carp crossing the river!

If you become a noble, if you fail, you will die. Even so, there are still a large number of people who will continue to bet on their lives and take their lives to the family! It’s nothing but profitable!

During the Tang Dynasty, Wu Shiteng, the father of the empress Wu Zetian, was a businessman who made his fortune by selling wood. At that time, the family broke into Li Yuan and was finally named Duke Ying.

Liu Pei ignored their noise and said loudly: "Brothers, each of them will report their own names!"

When everyone heard Liu Pei's words, they immediately calmed down and called those people who knew what names they had. At this time, Wu Yizhou, who had been standing next to the table, shouted: "A certain family's real name is Wu Yizhou, and he is the commander-in-chief of the local naval fleet under the command of the Grand Marshal. There are more than 100 gunboats of all sizes, and more than 400 other ships of various colors. There are sailors and more than 40,000 sailors!"

Qi Qitao, who was sitting below and ate and drank with the officers, also stood up and said loudly: "I am the commander-in-chief of the First Army Group of the Army under the command of the commander. Qi Qitao has 80,000 soldiers under his command!"

As these two people reported their identities, others stood up to report their official positions. Those soldiers looked either the commander of this division or the commander of that regiment! And everyone could clearly hear that there were four armies under Liu Pei's command, and there were more than 300,000 people!

Someone also stood up and reported that he was from the Fifth Army that was under construction! He saw that Liu Bei had an army of more than 400,000 under his command!

What surprised everyone even more was that those pirate leaders who were already familiar with had stood up one after another and held their names! "A certain family is Niu Deshui. They are the commander-in-chief of the third squadron of the local fleet!"

"Some family is flying in the waves,..."

Those present would be amazed if they didn’t report their names once! When they reported their names, the big tent was already in chaos.

You know, Li Yuan was only in control of a province, and Liu Pei in front of him had already controlled several provinces, had millions of people, thousands of warships, and the entire sea. This was already a real emperor!

At this time, everyone who was stimulated was trying hard to shout loudly, some people were discussing something with the people around them, and some people were just shouting for the sake of catharsis! So the whole tent was full of people!

Just amid the noise, a man shouted sternly: "Dragon Prince, the young man is willing to donate one million taels of silver to help military supplies!"

With this shout, the tent suddenly became quiet! Then the noise suddenly resumed! Someone shouted loudly: "I donate one million and two million taels of silver!"

"I'll pay 800,000 taels!"

“I donate

The military capital is two million taels!"

"Dragon Prince. I..."

Unlike the person on the right who shouted out a series of numbers excitedly, the person on the left was very calm, but their eyes had turned into the shape of copper coins!

You know, these people here are all senior officers. When they heard the series of numbers reported by these people, they sounded like a musket, a cannon, and a warship! So they wanted to catch all these people immediately and let them sign and seal them one by one! It was just because of the military rules that they dared not move around! But this did not prevent them from imagining the scene when the money poured in!

At this time, Liu Pei raised his right hand high, and everyone slowly calmed down when they saw his movements. They were quiet, but their excitement could not calm down for a moment. Each of them looked red and kept gasping for breath!

Liu Pei said in a deep voice: "I will ask for money! But it won't be the way to do it! Although you have never dealt with me directly, you all know my rules. I have never been able to fish in the water. So let's put the money aside before talking about it. I want to talk about the second thing now."

Everyone immediately bowed and said, "The Dragon King has given me instructions, and we will definitely obey!"

Liu Pei smiled slightly and said, "For thousands of years, the status of merchants has been low. Even if you have made a billionaire, you are just meat on the chopping board and pigs and sheep in the rolls may be killed and eaten at any time! So the second thing I said is to promise you a fair world! As long as you abide by the law, besides the royal family and the nobles, you will enjoy equal status and treatment with others! I can even promise that your descendants can study and become real officials!"

After Liu Pei said this, the noise he expected did not appear! He couldn't help but look down carefully, but found that the merchants were not unsurprising, but looked frightened!
