"Exterminate bandits? Hehe, what a good way to exterminate bandits!"
Liu Yuan sneered in his heart.
There was indeed a group of bandits called Black Bear Stronghold near Yongzhou County. They had committed many crimes and were not weak. They had always been the biggest threat to Yongzhou County.
However…
Recently, Black Bear Village had a target with more money. It had been a long time since they had done evil in Yongzhou County.
This so-called bandit suppression…
It was just a way for these despotic gentry to extort money from the common people!
If Liu Yuan did not agree, then these despotic gentry would really make their slaves wear headgear and act as robbers to go to the border villages of Yongzhou County to burn, kill, and rob!
Hence, Liu Yuan had no choice but to join in.
Thinking of this,
Liu Yuan smiled coldly and walked towards the meeting hall.
............
............
Yongzhou County had many landlord families, scattered in the county and various large villages and towns.
Among them, the three most powerful families were the Zhao family, Chen family, and Sun family in Yongzhou County.
The patriarchs of the three families were all at the peak of the Bitter Sea Realm, which was even higher than Liu Yuan's realm at the beginning!
Moreover,
There were also Life Spring Realm Patriarchs in the three families!
So,
That was why the three great clans had been able to control everything in Yongzhou County and not put him, the county lord, in their eyes.
Even the so-called discussion of 'raider extermination' was only notified to him, the county head, when the powerful family heads arrived at the meeting hall of the county government!
.
In the meeting hall.
Three old men in luxurious clothes were sitting lazily on an armchair.
They were surrounded by the advisor, the registrar, and a group of wealthy merchants dressed in silk.
Yes, it was true.
Other than some of the bottom-level government laborers, 70% of the people in the county government were planted by the three great families!
"Patriarchs, the county lord is here.”
The noble who had been standing at the entrance of the meeting hall said.
As soon as he finished speaking,
Liu Yuan had already walked to the entrance of the meeting hall.
"Since Lord County Lord has arrived, let the discussion of exterminating the bandits begin.”
On the armchair, the Zhao family head slowly opened his mouth and said,"It's been more than half a month since the last time we exterminated the bandits. According to the news I received, there are bandits targeting Yongzhou County again.”
"My Zhao family is a big family in Yongzhou, so we naturally have the responsibility to protect Yongzhou.”
"The suppression of the bandits concerns the safety of the people of Yongzhou. Naturally, my Sun family will take up the responsibility!"”
As soon as he finished speaking,
One of the aristocrats was so excited that he shed tears. His fat body trembled as he said,"The two or three clan heads are really righteous! Having three family heads is the greatest blessing of Yongzhou, but how can the matter of suppressing bandits be a private matter of the three family heads? We should also contribute for the people of Yongzhou!”
"However, our strength is too weak to contribute. We can only donate to do our best!”
"What do you think?"
After saying this,
In the meeting hall, all the nobles were instantly excited.
"That's right. Although the three clan heads are extremely righteous, how can we stay out of it? Those who could contribute would contribute, and those who could pay would pay!”
"I'm willing to set an example and lead the citizens of the Jiang Family Village to donate!”
"Me too ~"
“......”
The huge meeting hall instantly became noisy.
However,
All the gentry looked at Liu Yuan secretly.
According to the previous situation, it was Liu Yuan's turn to speak now.
To announce the extermination of bandits and the mobilization of donations,
After all, the government would still have to do it in the end!
Liu Yuan smiled and quietly watched the performance of these nobles.
What a good 'justice beyond the sky'!
Every half a month, they would come to donate money for raider suppression.
He really didn't leave any wealth for the people of Yongzhou!
Seeing that Liu Yuan did not speak,
The shouts of the nobles weakened, and the atmosphere froze slightly.
In the end,
A noble couldn't help but step forward and cupped his hands."Please give the order, according to the previous rules, to drive the people of the county to donate.”
"Ha!"
Liu Yuan chuckled.
The rules of the past,
Of course, the money of the gentry was returned in full.
The commoners 'money would be split 70 - 70!
"The bandits are targeting Yongzhou? Why didn't I receive any news?"
Liu Yuan said indifferently.
As soon as he said that, the atmosphere suddenly froze.
Liu Yuan's eyes were cold as he swept his gaze across the group of nobles.
The aristocrat who was being stared at by him immediately felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast. He did not even dare to breathe loudly!
The two heads of the Zhao and Sun families frowned.
At this moment,
The Chen Family Head, who had been silent all this while, spoke up,""Yesterday, I sent Chen Sheng to inform the county magistrate."
He stared at Liu Yuan.
"However, the County Lord didn't wait for Chen Sheng to say anything and killed him without any reason!”
"This old man was about to ask the County Lord for an explanation!”
