In order to ensure that the order in Jizhou would not collapse too much, so at the beginning, Li Qi was quite tolerant of the officials in Jizhou City.

Basically, they didn't move, it was Li Qi who still had to observe the situation in the city, of course, it couldn't be that he didn't move all the time.

These people also know what they are facing, and the current situation, locally, is no longer something that you can say if you are noble.

They looked down on Li Qi in their hearts, a former wandering orphan and later a Yanshan thief, who now became the lord of Jizhou.

This is difficult for those who are of noble birth to accept in their hearts, but on the surface they are humble and obedient.

They can secretly calculate you all the time, but when they are in front of you, they must be a loyal and reliable person.

And they have a better family background, a better literacy, and a more profound knowledge.

So when they are humble, it makes people feel that they are genuine.

And people like them have a much better demeanor than those leaders of the rebels who were born with mud legs.

So, it's even more confusing.

Back then, Yu Chaozong was in front of such a person, and he gradually got lost.

On one side are the rough men who are very aggressive, and on the other side are the children of the family.

On the one hand, he can only talk about drinking wine and eating jerky, but on the other hand, he quotes scriptures and scriptures.

However, this is not the most helpless place, and the more helpless place is that the people have a natural awe of the people wearing brocade clothes.

Unless the time comes to explode that awe turns into resentment.

In a world like Dachu, in such an era, as long as there is order, brocade clothes represent authority.

Therefore, when these officials were discussing in secret, they felt that Li Qi should not be a difficult person to deal with.

They can serve people like Pan Nuo, but can't they serve people like Li Qi?

In their opinion, the festival made Panno see the world and stood on a high place, and it was not easy to deceive him, but they still deceived.

Isn't it true that a person like Li Qi is far away than Panno.

It's like what they've always done in the past, pulling a person into the gentle township, into the wine pond and meat forest.

They have enough knowledge that the beautiful words that come out of their mouths can weave beautiful dreams.

In the Jiedu Embassy, Zhang Yusu left Li Qi's room to find Peng Seventeen to discuss how to preach and persuade the people.

Not long after, Li Qi's subordinates came to report, saying that it was Qu Cheng, the former ruler of Jizhou Mansion, and Li Yaozhi, the lord of the mansion, and others asked to see him.

Li Qi looked at the egg in his hand, and suddenly smiled, what is delicious about eggs.

Not long after, a group of adults from the former Jizhou Mansion entered the living room with a humble attitude, and they didn't dare to sit down, so they stood in the living room and waited for Li Qi.

When Li Qi stepped into the door, these adults rushed up, making a gesture, shouting and asking for warmth.

Li Qi smiled and motioned to show the adults tea.

The guest sat down, and the government Qucheng leaned over and said: "The general's return to Jizhou is really a blessing for the people of Jizhou, and the people are looking forward to the general's return, like a long drought and looking forward to Ganlin." ”

Li Qi smiled and did not answer.

This is too formal, and Li Qi has no desire to speak.

In fact, how to call Li Qi, these adults also had a headache for a while, calling him a big boss? It seems a little inappropriate.

[Mimi Read] ()

The big boss, the big boss of the bandits, it's not that this title is disrespectful to Li Qi, but that they will feel that they have lost their identity.

People like them nod their heads to a big boss, which makes them a little unacceptable.

They can show that they have a heart-to-heart with Li Qi, but they can't show that they are fathers to Li Qiyin.

Called the king?

Called Li Gongzi?

It didn't seem to be appropriate, so they discussed and discussed, but the title of general seemed mild.

Qu Cheng said a few more polite words, and seeing that Li Qi's attitude was lukewarm, after hesitating for a moment, he felt that he should still show his attitude.

So he smiled and said: "Actually, we came to ask the general for instructions, we are willing to share the general's worries, and we are willing to do more things for the people of Jizhou......"

Before he could finish his words, Li Qi laughed.

Li Qi said: "This is a good thing, you are highly respected in Jizhou City, if you take the lead, the people will have the backbone." ”

"The general is the backbone of the people of Jizhou."

Qu Cheng hurriedly replied, and his mood relaxed a little, and the meaning of Li Qi's words didn't seem to be so strong.

So Qu Cheng got up and said: "A few of us have discussed, the general returned to Jizhou this time to relieve the suffering of the people, we are also from Jizhou, and we are also a part of Jizhou, so we should contribute to the general and fully support the general." ”

His tone changed, and he said with a little sadness: "Jizhou is full of disasters and difficulties, although we try our best to protect the people, but our ability is limited, and we can't control the thief Pannuo." ”

"These days, Panno has also been extremely cruel to us, occupying many people's property, and we dare not speak out."

Li Qi thought that his next sentence should be...... Although we don't have any money right now, we will give it all to support you.

Qu Cheng's tone changed again, and he said seriously and sincerely: "However, the general has the heart to save the people, and no matter how hard we work, we will go all out to assist the general, so I voluntarily offer my family property to fill the treasury and make a living for the people." ”

Li Qi got up, clenched his fists, looked very shocked, and said sincerely: "I really can't imagine that you adults have such a heart for the people, compared with your adults, I am really ashamed." ”

He looked at Qu Cheng and said: "Lord Qu's heart of fist inspires heaven and earth, if I refute the kindness of my lord, the two elders of heaven and earth will sanction me." ”

When Qu Cheng heard it, there was something wrong with this.

Li Qi looked outside and shouted, "Jia Ruan, Zhen Gen." ”

It turned out that Jia Ruan, the senior brother who hung the knife door, and Zhen Gen, the junior brother who hung the knife door, immediately entered the door, leaned over and said, "The master, what are the orders?" ”

Li Qi pointed to Qu Cheng and said: "I'll let you see today, what is a person with a high wind and bright festival, Master Qu said that he is willing to sacrifice his family property for the people of Jizhou." ”

Jia Ruan and Zhen Gen looked at Qu Cheng at the same time, and said at the same time: "Sure enough, the wind is bright." ”

Li Qi smiled and ordered: "Lord Qu has a heart, we have to contribute, we can't let Lord Qu do it himself, you bring five hundred people, go to Lord Qu's house now, you must remember, don't be reckless, don't scare people, be polite, and do things carefully and cautiously, everything must be registered, remember to write a receipt to Lord Qu." ”

When Qu Cheng heard it, why did this sound like he was going to raid his home?

Li Qi waved his hand: "Go." ”

After speaking, he immediately shouted: "Wait a while." ”

He looked at the other adults and asked, "If I heard it correctly, Lord Qu said it on behalf of all the adults, which means that all of you are willing to give up your family property?" ”

People say that giving away their family property is just a beautiful word.

What people mean, I'll give you some money, and you continue to let us be officials, do you understand?

Fu Cheng Li Yaozhi hurriedly said: "General...... Among them, there should be some misunderstanding in this. ”

Li Qi's face sank and said, "Your Excellency won't be talking about fun, right?" ”

He looked at Jia Ruan and said, "Just now I asked you to take five hundred people out, since the adults haven't really thought about it, then you can take five hundred people and wait outside this gate, and wait for the adults to figure it out." ”

He said to Qu Cheng: "I happen to have some things to go out, you lords rest first, and I will be back in a moment." ”

After saying that, he walked out of the door.

The adults who left a room behind looked at each other.

They are already beginning to regret it, why should they come today?

Before, they thought that Li Qi would do it, but Li Qi didn't do it, so he would discuss whether to take the initiative to show his loyalty.

So they came, and so they regretted coming.

Li Qi walked out, and at a glance, he saw Tang Pidi leaning against him and smiling not far from the door, and he smiled and walked over.

Tang Pidi handed Li Qi an apple, and he nibbled on the other himself.

"These people think that you and the people they used to coax to play have a way and give you some benefits, so you will continue to let them be officials."

Tang Pidi said as he walked: "Where did you think that you are Li Papi, they don't take the initiative to come to the door, you are thinking about how to pick up their family and bankrupt." ”

Li Qi said: "Nonsense, if they don't take the initiative to come, will I still go to raid other people's homes for no reason." ”

After saying this, he snorted and laughed: "I will." ”

Don pouted.

He asked Li Qi, "Are you going to hang them here?" ”

Li Qi said: "Let them drink tea here, let's go out separately to do errands, you take the soldiers to your lords' houses to help pack, and I will go to Fengming Mountain." ”

Tang Pidi asked, "What are you doing in Fengming Mountain?" ”

Li Qi told Zhang Yuxu what he had just told him, and then said: "Those fake Taoists on Fengming Mountain are true Taoists in the eyes of the people of Jizhou, and they have ruined the reputation of Taoism. ”

Tang Pi said: "I'd better go to the granary, I'm not good at this kind of thing, I'll go and exchange Yu Jiuling back." ”

Li Qi said: "You are so ruthless......"

If Tang Pidi went, at most he would empty the house, and if Yu Jiuling went, he would have to scrape the ground.

Tang Pidi laughed and said: "Whoever is a bad guy is a bad guy, there has to be someone to be a bad guy, and Jiuling is very suitable." ”

Not long after, Li Qi called Zhang Yuxu and Peng Qiqi to go to Fengming Mountain Taoist Temple, and met Gao Xining and a few of them before going out, and they also wanted to go to play.

The two carriages stopped at the foot of Fengming Mountain more than half an hour later, and Li Qi had a very bad impression of this place.

The first time I came, it was Xiahou Zhuo who brought Li Qi, and here, Li Qi saw what it means to be different from people.

Ordinary people want to enter Fengming Mountain, they have to pay money at the mountain intersection, and it is said that they have to pay money three times in total to enter the Taoist temple.

If you want to enter the incense, you have to pay for the incense, and if you are less filial, people won't even give you the incense, and you will be laughed at.

What's more, the biggest reason why Li Qi doesn't like this place is that the Taoist temple here is the same as the Taoist temple in the city.

Soon after he arrived in Jizhou, his master, Changmei Daoren, wanted to go to that Taoist temple to take refuge, but was driven away, and he was ridiculed and humiliated.

It's nothing if you don't accept it, and there's no need to humiliate people.

The Taoist temple of Fengming Temple in the city is purely built for dignitaries and nobles, because dignitaries sometimes feel that it is hard to climb the mountain, and Fengming Mountain is far away.

In order to create a gimmick, a long stone staircase road was built on Fengming Mountain, which means that only by walking through these stone steps can you show sincerity.

In the Taoist temple in the city, in order to facilitate the dignitaries and nobles, a stone path was built, which was about three or five zhang long.

It is also seriously said that it is the stone road that has been walked, which is equivalent to the merit of the stone steps walked up the mountain.

Li Qi thought, these false Taoists of Fengmingguan, now that the situation is like this, Jizhou has changed hands, of course they will be honest.

However, Li Qi was wrong.

As soon as their carriage reached the bottom of the mountain, they were stopped by several false roadmen at the intersection.

That look, that face, it's really a familiar feeling, a familiar taste.
