" Five thousand jin?!"
"Are you f * cking kidding me?!"
In the magnificent room, the Yangxin County Magistrate, Min Chun, who was sitting on the main seat, cursed angrily.
The exquisite teacup in his hand was thrown out and smashed into the young man's feet in the open space, shattering.
"Bodian, don't be angry." Pan Feng, who was dressed like a general, interrupted her angry master.
He, who was appointed as the soldier of Bohai Prefecture, was patrolling the counties during the special time of the Yellow Turban rebellion and was ordered to collect military rations.
Although the young man in front of him said that the yield per mu was 5,000 catties, it was extremely exaggerated.
However, Pan Feng, who was a military official and had been in the officialdom for a long time, smelled something different.
"Although it won't be 5,000 per mu, according to your nephew, a bumper harvest is certain.”
Pan Feng slowly explained.
"Now that the Yellow Turban rebels are rebelling, the imperial court is in great need of strong support from the region.”
"Moreover, the prefecture also needs rations so that the soldiers protecting the prefecture and county will not starve.”
Pan Feng tapped the armrest of the armchair rhythmically. She was well versed in the way of being an official.
Yangxin County Magistrate Min Chun's eyes rolled as he restrained his anger and sat back on his armchair.
He roughly understood what the soldier meant.
rip off
The 5,000 per mu yield was not real, but it had become real at this moment.
That Liu Yi would probably be taught a good lesson.
Not only would he be stripped of his filial piety by this soldier officer from Bohai County.
They even had to spend a lot of money to get some rations back to report.
Soldier Cao wanted to show off his achievements in front of his superior.
Two birds with one stone.
However, in his territory, how could he miss out on this piece of fat meat?
The magistrate of Yangxin County, Min Chun, rolled his eyes." Pan Bingcao is right.”
"Now that the country is in danger, we need rich people like Liu Yi to contribute.”
"Tomorrow, this county magistrate will bring you to his residence to ask for some rations.”
Pan Feng secretly smiled.
What he said just now was just to test the magistrate to see if Liu Yi was his man.
And from what the county magistrate said, it seemed that he was also dissatisfied with this person.
He didn't want to offend Low-Headed Snake, so he naturally understood that the opportunity to extort money had come.
Pan Feng's eyes flashed. What was the most important thing in this chaotic world?
Without a doubt.
Money!
With money, he would naturally rise to the top.
As for the famine and starvation.
The death of those lowlifes would save food.
What did it have to do with him, a soldier?
He wished that there were fewer dirty lowlifes.
"Then I'll have to trouble the county magistrate."
Pan Feng cupped her hands in greeting.
The two of them raised their teacups and smiled at each other.
……
At the first glimmer of dawn, the entrance of the Liu family's courtyard was crowded with people.
However, there was no sign of the usual hustle and bustle.
The people dragged their families and stood there, not daring to make a sound.
Other than the 2,000 people from yesterday, more people came today after hearing the news.
The villages around Yangxin County were all empty.
Even the villages further away rushed over with their families after hearing the news.
People surrounded the front and back of the Liu family's courtyard.
He would have a full meal with the great Liu.
These words had unknowingly spread throughout the entire Yangxin County overnight.
It was spreading to other places at an unimaginable speed.
The living legend of five thousand catties per mu and three meals a day described Liu Yi's image as an immortal who descended from heaven.
It even overshadowed the great virtuous teacher who was in the limelight for a moment.
Creak! The gate of the courtyard was slowly pushed open.
The people who had been waiting until they had fallen asleep suddenly woke up.
They looked at the door eagerly, anticipating the handsome young man's figure.
Many of them had young girls who were about to get married. Today, they had all dressed up and brought them out.
Even some wealthy families brought their daughters from humble families to squeeze in.
If the young Philanthropist Liu took a fancy to her, he would have to take care of her family with his huge wealth.
"We still need 2,500 people today.”
Liu Yi appeared at the gate of the courtyard with Lu Su.
"According to the old rules, three meals a day.”
Boom!
The quiet crowd suddenly erupted.
Many people were here for the first time, so they were skeptical. When they heard that the handsome master had really promised to eat his fill in front of everyone, and it was three meals.
They had never seen such a good thing before.
"Zijing, bring some people to pick people.”
Liu Yi pointed at the dense crowd outside the courtyard.
"I brought a half-grown child here today.”
"Why don't you pick a family with a lot of men?”Lu Su hesitated." The number of people who came today is far more than that. We can pick out strong laborers.”
Liu Yi shook his head." A half-grown child is the most important.”
He leaned close to Lu Su's ear." They will remember this scene after eating our food.”
"In two years, when they grow up, Yangxin County will become our base.”
Lu Su's eyes flashed.
As someone who came from a big family in the south, the meaning of controlling the place was clear.
