Chapter 545

"I understand, Li Fan... is trying to put his ideas on us... I want us to give out food to provide disaster relief to Yuzhou?"

"I think beautifully! If you want food, you can buy it with money."

"Yes, we are still suffering from disasters. Why should we give him food to Li Fan?"

They all spoke and were very resistant to this! It is more painful to touch interests than to touch the soul.

They "treat effort" and "hard" to exploit the food from ordinary people. How could they easily return it at this moment?

Even for the big families, the more they are in such a disaster year, the happier they are.

Because many people will have no food to eat due to disasters.

When there is no food, the only way is to sell the land.

The big clans took the opportunity to use the money and grain in their hands to merge the land of ordinary farmers at an extremely low price - at that time, farmers had no choice.

Those who have land sell land, and those who have no land sell their children. Even their children have no need to sell them. They either start to eat people or starve to death.

This is the bloody reality. The most important thing that the powerful people think is not the so-called blessings for the people, but how to seek their own blessings from the people.

As for the people?

It is just the leeks for the superiors to harvest.

So, how could they be willing to help those untouchables in their eyes?

Lu Ming sneered even more and said, "Mr. Li, do you know how much the price of grain in Yuzhou has increased?

Our Lu family is happy to give you 50,000 kilograms of grain. In this way, I will give you a lower price, 25,000 taels. How about it?"

Twenty-five thousand taels! Li Fan looked at Lu Ming indifferently.

"If you can't afford it, then I can't help you.

Lord Li, you are an official in the court. I don’t break the law and can’t rob it, right?”

He sneered, with contempt in his eyes! The finances of Yuzhou had already made Meng Changqing almost defeated.

Over the years, Meng Changqing has not built water conservancy projects, but has built many water pavilions to serve as places to sing the wind and the moon, which has cost a lot of money.

Nowadays, there can be up to 100,000 taels of silver in the treasury of Yuzhou.

How much food can I buy for this little money?

Two hundred thousand jin?

For millions of disaster victims in Yuzhou, it was a drop in the bucket! At this moment, everyone understood.

"Now, Li Fan has something to ask for us!"

"Isn't it just for food when doing such a play?"

"Haha, don't think he is an imperial envoy. In fact, without food, he will be torn apart by the victims in a few days..." Everyone sneered, and even had some jokes.

Li Fan's expression still did not change. He looked at Lu Ming and said word by word: "Master Lu, three years ago, you fell in love with Yu Laosi's daughter in the city and wanted to take it as a concubine, but Yu Laosi was unwilling to do so. What did you do in the end?"

"Wang Zhong, a bully in the west of the city, do you know this person?"

"Now Yu Laosi's daughter has become your eighteenth concubine, but Yu Laosi himself has become a dry bone in the well."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming's face changed instantly and he hurriedly said, "Li Fan, you are talking nonsense! Yu Laosi's death has nothing to do with me. Don't swear at others!"

"Bloody swears?"

Li Fan said coldly: "I have already found out the facts, how can you ramble again?

!”

"Kill it!"

As soon as Li Fan finished speaking, the long sword of Ganti Flag was moved beside him! The dark red sword light suddenly came to Lu Ming under the candlelight.

"No--" Lu Ming was so scared that he was nowhere to be looked at and screamed loudly! The next moment, a blood-colored sword light slashed past his neck.

"Puff—" Blood sprayed.

A head with wide eyes rolled to the ground.

The scene was silent.

For a moment, all the great clan lords were dead at this moment.

"No...no...no..." Several family heads near Lu Ming were all sputtered on their bodies by blood. At this moment, they screamed and fell to the ground with all their shit and urine! "Li Fan killed him..." "This executioner is a threat... this is a threat... this is a threat..." "Kill him as soon as he says he is a demon!"

For a moment, many heads of the family were trembling and frightened.

Death! They are all calculating heads, and they are all profit-seekers who exploit the people of Yuzhou. Greed is their nature, but fear of death is a deeper instinct than greed! If the god of death comes, what is the point of accumulating much wealth?

Their eyes at Li Fan were completely changed and they were very scared.

They are now completely awake. Li Fan has never been a gentle, respectful, frugal and modest gentleman, but a terrifying executioner who even the Governor's Office says it's slaughtered.

Li Fan's faint voice continued: "Dear heads of the family, I'm really embarrassed. It was obviously a cheerful party, but it made such a joke."

He looked at everyone and said, "I guess you don't want to make jokes again, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces were extremely frightened.

Who dares to stand up again?

No one dares to speak.

In the field, everyone was silent for a moment.

Don't say a word! "Don't you say anything?"

Li Fan smiled and said, "Head of Zhang Fusheng, are you willing to give me this million bowls of coarse porridge?"

His eyes fell on Zhang Fusheng.

When Zhang Fusheng heard this, his heart skipped a beat and his face turned pale.

He really wanted to refuse, but he didn't want to! Fifty thousand kilograms of food... But now, how dare he say no?

After looking at the extremely cold Ganti Banner, he seemed to see the god of death and transformed... He hesitated for a moment, and gritted his teeth and said, "My Zhang family... promised it!"

Promise! Hearing this, the other heads of the family looked ugly.

When the first person agreed, the others... had no choice.

Li Fan smiled, clapped his palms, and the applause seemed a little distant in the empty hall. He said, "The head of the Zhang family is very wise, and Li Fan is really grateful!"

He looked at the others: "Where are the other heads of the family?

Don’t bother Li Fan asking questions one by one, right?”

Everyone else looked ugly.

"Forget it, forgot it, my Cen family is willing to give it to you!"

"My Lu family is willing, Li Fan, please let us go!"

"Fifty thousand pounds...I gave it!"

Immediately, the heads of the family had to agree.

After all, Lu Ming's body was still lying there, silently reminding them of Li Fan's cruelty and ruthlessness! Li Fan smiled so happily at this moment. He stood up and said, "Very good, everyone, Li Fan thanked me here!"

"I'm really sorry to invite everyone to the party late at night. Everyone can go back and have a good sleep. Remember to send all the porridge you gave me to Yuzhou Prefecture Treasury tomorrow."

At the same time, as Li Fan said, the door of the hall suddenly opened! Suddenly, many heads of the family were as if they were amnesty.

Many of them were already sweating in cold sweat! Li Fan really made them... extremely scared! Many heads of the family turned around and left.

"By the way," at this time, Li Fan's smile sounded again, saying, "I forgot to remind everyone that what everyone promised me today will remember the countless victims in the city. If anyone forgets, they may come to my house to remind me. At that time, please forgive me."

Li Fan's words suddenly made everyone feel stiff! Many people were still lucky and felt that they could drag their homes without giving up.

If they don't give it to him, Li Fan would support the hungry people to rob him! At that time, it may not be possible to solve the problem of 50,000 kilograms... "This robber!"

"It's simply a bandit!"

"When did there be such a terrible guy in the court?

!”

They all whispered in silence! Finally, they left one after another.

Kang Xunbai had been guarding outside the hall. Seeing many heads leaving dejectedly, he knew that Li Fan's plan was probably successful.

He walked into the hall and saw the corpses on the ground, and his heart was also complicated. Li Fan was now "using any means" to provide disaster relief.

He stepped forward and said, "Mr. Li, have they agreed?"

"Do they dare not agree?"

Li Fan said indifferently, saying, "When power supports these big clans, the people can only give mermaid meat, but equally, if power seeks benefits for ordinary people, the ones that these big clans eat... can only spit it out!"

Kang Xunbai's expression became more and more complicated! "It's getting late, let's take a break. I will collect the food handed over by these big clans tomorrow, and I have to go to Chuan County!"
