The major families jointly invited each other! A thoughtful look suddenly appeared in Lin Jianshen's old eyes, and he said, "Mr. Li, I'm afraid their invitation is inseparable from this tax reform..." "No matter what the purpose is, I have to go and take a look."

Li Fan immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Lin, these people will face it sooner or later. Instead of letting them guess, it is better to take this opportunity to let the big families in Yangzhou have more experience of tax reform."

Lin Jianshen nodded as well.

...up on Xianxiao Tower.

When Li Fan arrived, all the patriarchs and officials of the tribes on the second floor stood up one after another, and it was extremely lively! Each of them had a warm and pleasing look on their faces.

"Mr. Li, it is a great honor for all our families in Yangzhou City to come!"

Fu Yongqing stepped forward, reached out his hand enthusiastically, and said, "Mr. Li, please sit down, please sit down!"

Li Fan sat down calmly, Fu Yongqing poured wine for him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li has been busy with everything recently, and we just wish we could share some worries for Lord Li Fan, otherwise why would you be so sad about Lord Li?"

Li Fan raised his glass and drank it all with everyone. He smiled casually without any restraint and said, "You are the mainstays of this city. I don't know how much commercial tax you have to contribute to the country every year. How can you not share my worries?"

Everyone catered to it. With the help of these old foxes, the atmosphere in the field quickly became warm.

They were not in a hurry and came forward to toast Li Fan, constantly praising Li Fan, which was so stingy.

"Lord Li Fan is like a comet, illuminating the sky, allowing us to see the light in Yangzhou, and increasing the blessings of the people. Lord Li, I wish you a cup!"

"Mr. Li Fan, since you came to Yangzhou, I have always admired you very much. I really can't put it down when you published your first work, "Encouragement of Learning". As the saying goes, 'Grades out of your own, better than your own', Lord Li Fan will surely rise to the top in the future... I'll give you a cup!"

"Haha, when Lord Li Fan comes, all of us in Yangzhou are happy and joyful. It can be said that Lord Li Fan is the pride of our Yangzhou! Lord Li Fan, I wish you a cup!"

They all spoke one after another, and when they reached their level, they could shoot all kinds of tricks. No matter who they were, they would probably be floating in the face of tides of praise.

Li Fan drank the wine toasted by everyone with a glass of glass, smiling calmly, reaching the extreme.

He was so easy-going that the group of people were even more excited.

"Li Fan is not as inhuman as the rumored one."

"Yes, he was still able to chat and laugh with me just now!"

"There is a show, I think there is a show. Later, we can think of hinting to Lord Li Fan..." Many people spoke in a low voice, as if they saw hope.

After three rounds of wine, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded in the audience. Many people were already drunk. Even though they were dizzy and hot, they still expressed their admiration for Li Fan, which seemed to be heartbroken.

This kind of love for "drunk words" is often the most touching and makes people mistakenly think it is true, but in fact, the so-called "speaking the truth after drinking" is just a layer of gold on the lie with wine.

"Mr. Li Fan, you have lost a lot of weight compared to when you first came to Yangzhou. We all feel heartbroken when we see you working so hard. In Yangzhou, we still have some family resources, but we can't share the worries of Lord Li Fan. We feel guilty!"

Seeing that the time was almost over, Fu Yongqing finally spoke with a sincere expression and said, "Mr. Li, I really want to share your worries. I wonder if we may contribute a little bit of effort in tax reform?"

"Even if the family wealth is exhausted, we will do whatever we want, as long as we can share the worries of Lord Li Fan!"

He was extremely sincere and really cared about Li Fan, and he wanted to go up the knife mountain to the oil pan for Li Fan! The others in the field also stopped at this moment, waiting for Li Fan's answer for a while.

Li Fan smiled and suddenly said, "Xiao Liuzi, come with the sword!"

Xiao Liuzi, who was behind him, immediately walked up to Li Fan with a brocade box and opened it, which was an ancient sword with a solid momentum.

"Can you know, where does this sword come from?"

Li Fan asked.

Everyone in the field was shocked. When they saw the sword, their pupils shrank.

"Heaven...the emperor's Shangfang Sword?"

Someone spoke in disbelief.

The fact that Li Fan was ordered to Shangfang’s sword had already spread throughout the world.

It is impossible for them not to know.

Li Fan smiled and said, "Good eyesight!"

"This sword is the Shangfang sword that I gave today!"

Li Fan gently held the sword in his hand, stroked the sword body, and said, "This sword is really a good sword! But unfortunately, this sword is in my hand and has never killed anyone..." Han Cheng's eyelids twitched and he hurriedly said, "Lord Li Fan is the star in the southeast of ours. Wherever you go, evil people are invincible, so why should you move the sword?"

Li Fan said: "Yes, this sword is famous, who in the world dares not accept it?"

He looked at Fu Yongqing, Han Cheng and others and said, "If I hold this sword to protect you and others, you can feel at ease to participate in the tax collection. Even if Lin Jianshen, he will never dare to argue with him!"

As soon as he said this, everyone in the restaurant was silent, and their expressions became extremely nervous and excited! Li Fan went straight to the point and made their hearts feel hot! Yes, Li Fan Shangfang’s sword was in his hand, and as long as Li Fan nodded, who dared to disrespect?

Even if you are deeply aware of the truth, Li Fan can fight with his sword! Such power is what the merchants are striving to pursue.

Now, right in front of them, right in front of the young man, it was attached to the sword! Under the nervous and anxious eyes of everyone, Li Fan smiled leisurely: "But everything comes at a price."

I hold the Sword of the Emperor to protect your family, and you may provide corresponding bargaining chips?"

His calm words surprised everyone.

Even though they invited Li Fan over today, they were not going to settle the matter at this banquet, just wanting to see Li Fan's attitude.

Collusion between officials and businessmen is not about meeting each other or having a meal or distributing the interests involved. These things need to be discussed slowly.

But Li Fan was so direct and actually said it... This was something they didn't expect.

But what followed was ecstasy! What does Li Fan mean when he asked this question?

It means that Li Fan is tempted! As long as he is willing to ask for it, they will not be able to afford it! The tax cake is too big. As long as they continue to participate in it, no matter how much they give it to Li Fan, they can plunder it from the people! "After all, a young man, a just gaining power, this is tantamount to asking for bribes openly. It's really impatient..." Fu Yongqing was very ecstatic in his heart, and couldn't help but be afraid of Li Fan's previous ones. At this moment, he glanced at everyone around him and said with his ears: "Mr. Li, Qi San, we three."

A very simple sentence.

But he believed that Li Fan must understand what this means.

Open seven-three! This is a proportion that makes everyone excited.

The taxes paid every year in Yangzhou are endless! It should be noted that Li Fan's industry is definitely the best in Yangzhou today, but the annual profit is only 800,000 taels.

Everyone was looking at Li Fan.

In fact, many big families have already made too many concessions.

In the past, when Gao Nanshi and others were there, the ratio was 55.

Faced with such moving profits, who can not be moved?

Li Fan seemed to have a satisfied expression and said, "Very good, very good!"

"I'm very satisfied with this ratio."

Very satisfied! Everyone was in a flash of joy! Did Li Fan agree?

"But you need to give me something, and everyone involved in this matter needs to give me something."

Li Fan continued.

Everyone was extremely happy at this moment, and just hoped that the matter would be settled early. Fu Yongqing laughed excitedly and said, "Please say, please say, please say!"

Li Fan smiled, and suddenly pulled out the Shangfang sword in his hand, and the sword light flashed suddenly! "Puff--" Blood arrows sprayed! "Ah--" A shrill cry sounded instantly, and Fu Yongqing's head rolled down to the ground! He was dead and was beheaded by Li Fan with his sword! Seeing this scene, the restaurant suddenly became silent! Everyone was stunned. They looked at Li Fan in disbelief.

What's going on?

Didn’t the talks be very good?

Li Fan isn’t very happy, are he satisfied?

Why...suddenly killing?

"Mr. Li...you...you..." Han Cheng's body was trembling.

Li Fan raised his sword and stood up, the smile on his lips was not gone, and he said, "I still need the last thing, it's your head."

"If you give it to someone, you won't have to give it to me 70%. You're all yours."

"I'll send you to find the King of Hell."

After he finished speaking, he waved his sword and suddenly cut Han Cheng next to him into two pieces! "Ah——" Han Cheng shouted so hard that he was cut in half. He was not dead for a moment, bleeding profusely, and extremely terrifying.

The killing began! "No... Li Fan is crazy?"

“He wants to kill us?

He actually wants to kill us?

!!”

"Run, run! He's crazy, he's crazy!"

For a moment, many members of the family and the heads of the family fled in panic. A group of people who were drunk just now were as anxious as dogs of a broken family, as anxious as fish that escaped the net. They fought for each other, and they wanted to escape from this Shura field! However, at this moment, the door of Xianxiao Tower suddenly closed and locked! "What's going on? Open the door, open the door!"

"Help, help!"

"I've killed someone, killed someone!"

They were crowded, rushing and shouting! Li Fan lifted the sword, and the smile on the corner of his mouth did not diminish at all. He walked over, waved the sword step by step, killing one person! One by one, one fell one after another, Li Fan was like a Shura and a god of death! Blood, splashed in the wine glass, the smell of blood and the aroma of wine mixed together, and mixed into a strange smell.
Chapter completed!
