Looking at everyone's uncertain faces, Liu Pei said, "Brothers, let's go to the city tower for a cup of tea first." ”

Liu Pei poured a cup of tea for everyone with his own hands, and then said, "Do you brothers not understand what I just said?" ”

When everyone got Liu Pei's assurance for the second time, they seemed to believe it completely, and their hearts relaxed a lot, even their sitting posture relaxed a lot. Liu Pei saw that everyone was relaxed, so he continued: "When I first came to Jinan City a few years ago, the first thing I met was Brother Siyue. Then I met you through my brother's introduction. At that time, I had no official position and no position, just a military household. At that time, I was rushing to Jinan City to do business. So I'm essentially the same as everybody else, a businessman. ”

Liu Pei swept everyone's faces and saw everyone smiling, especially Hua Shufeng, who was still colorful, obviously recalling the scene when he first met the two. So he continued: "Everyone knows that I was born on an island. In our case, because the population is small, everyone has to work. Whether you are an official or a farmer, a craftsman or a businessman, no one feels inferior to anyone. Because none of these people can survive! But when I came to Daming, I found one thing. It's just that the status of businessmen here is too low! Strictly speaking, we are not human, we are just pigs to the slaughter! Those officials and nobles can find a reason to seize our property and ruin our family. Sometimes they don't even have to find a reason to do it! I didn't understand why, so I tried to find the answer in the history books. Don't tell me, I really found it! It's because we businessmen are so rich! ”

As soon as the last few words came out, everyone's expressions seemed to be deflated.

Several people in the audience also nodded. Liu Pei shook his head and said, "Actually, you don't really understand. You have been told from the very beginning that businessmen are low, so you don't think much about it. Now you can think about it, why do those scholars belittle businessmen so much? It's because they're afraid! It's because the power of money is too great! What you don't see through, those people do! The power of money is so great that it can change the dynasty, how do you think they can not be afraid? ”

Liu Pei paused here and took a sip of tea. A wealthy businessman shook his head and said, "How easy it is to be an official!" Even if you are an official, you are tied up and down to death, and you can't even stretch your hands and feet, where can you have the ability to shelter others! ”

A wealthy businessman said with a sad face: "Brother Cong Yuxian, we actually understand your thoughts. However, the military attache cannot meddle in local affairs, and is squeezed out by civilian officials, it is not easy to stand on his feet, let alone protect the people on the border? ”

A wealthy middle-aged businessman said: "But once you move the army, isn't it a rebellion?" This can't be helped, it will affect the whole family! ”

As soon as Liu Pei's words came out, everyone's eyes lit up. This is equivalent to Liu Pei giving them a reassuring pill! As long as the family is not extinguished and can go overseas with money, it is worthy of the ancestors! What's more, you can make a comeback overseas, which is a killer feature that must be caught! So several people glanced at each other, and then stood up in unison and bowed to Liu Pei to the end. Liu Pei hurriedly returned the salute.

Liu Pei immediately raised his hand and swore an oath: "If I break the contract, I will suffer from ten thousand arrows piercing my heart, and I will never be able to live beyond my life after death!" ”

A wealthy businessman said, "If this is the case, I am willing to pay to help the virtuous brother raise the army!" ”

Hua Shufeng said loudly: "What is six thousand taels? From the fact that Brother Yuxian's family is extremely majestic, it can be seen that raising an army will inevitably consume a lot! Double! 12,000 taels of silver a year! ”

And Liu Pei also knew that 12,000 taels a year was really not much for these people. It can even be said that it is just a drop in the bucket. But it's not a small number to go on every year. More importantly, this move is that they are showing an attitude, an attitude that they are willing to stand with Liu Pei.

That night, Liu Pei held a banquet for everyone. During the banquet, everyone praised Liu Pei very much, and the title of what a young hero was hung up. And they also appreciate Liu Pei's family very much. Talking about today's military parade, it is even more eyebrows! This banquet brought everyone closer a lot.
