Seeing that the women no longer insisted, Liu Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly changed the topic: "The most important thing for us now is to find a way to build this 'Jiangnan Shi' shelf, and then make it bigger and stronger, and strive to popularize it all over Jiangnan, and become a powerful force that can compete with Donglin or Fushe!" ”

"Fight against the Restoration Society?" Liu Ru was suddenly taken aback by Liu Fan's "ambition", and said with a sad face: "The Restoration Society is a huge club connected by more than a dozen clubs!" How can we five weak women have the ability to compete with such a big force as others! Are you sure you're not joking, General? ”

"Of course not!" Liu Fan patiently explained, "Any force is born from scratch, from weak to strong, and slowly develops. www.biquge.info Although we can't compare to the behemoth of Fusha now, as long as we are given enough time, I believe that one day we will catch up with or even surpass theirs. Don't you have faith in your talents? ”

Liu Ru was still a little worried, "That's right, but the situation is not so simple, we want to develop into a force like the Restoration Society that can affect the entire Jiangnan, it's still too difficult!" ”

Liu Fan pondered for a moment and said, "It is indeed not easy to develop in the early stage, but we still have enough time to develop slowly. In this way, in the early stage, we can lower the price of books and periodicals or borrow some books such as the Four Books and the Five Classics for free for those poor students who cannot afford to buy books. At the same time, you can also use your influence to hold some tea parties or performances from time to time, so as to attract more students to pay attention to us! Over time, it will naturally attract more people to join. ”

Liu Ru was furious when she heard this, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, "It turns out that the general's purpose is still to do those lowly things that usher in and send us to usher?" Having said all this, are you just trying to win our favor to satisfy your filthy thoughts? In that case, why bother to talk about it, with your power, can we, lowly and dusty women, reject you? As soon as Liu Ru said this, even the eyes of Dong Xiaowan's four daughters, who were silently paying attention to Liu Fan, became unkind, and their eyes even showed deep contempt.

Liu Fan smiled bitterly and said, "If so, you are too sensitive. If I really have those bad intentions, will I still use the core secrets of my Broken Army to reveal to you? I asked you to do that just to make the most of your strengths and to increase your reputation! If you don't want to, I won't force it! ”

After thinking about it, Liu Fan continued, "In this way, in order to let you work with peace of mind, you are not bound by your identity." I will first pay for your life, and ask Lord Xu, the Duke of Wei, to help you convert your household registration into civilians. But let's talk first, I paid the money in advance, and it will be deducted from your salary in the future! ”

"Redemption?" Liu Rushi and the others seemed to be poked in the softest part of their hearts, and tears slowly slipped down their cheeks in an instant. After a while, several girls who were still indignant also began to cry. For a moment, the painting boat was filled with sad weeping...

Liu Fan silently picked up the teacup and quietly looked at the crying pear blossoms and the rain, and his heart was full of pity. I don't know how long it took, but I waited until a few women wiped the tears off their pretty faces before they spoke, "I sincerely want to ask you for help, not to satisfy my own selfish desires, I hope you can trust me." The Governor never tries to force anyone, and if you think I have bad intentions, you can choose to refuse. Even if I lend you the money for redemption, when you have the money, you will return it to me. ”

Liu Ru is daughters were even more moved when they heard Liu Fan's words, and the pretty face of the pear blossom with rain was filled with deep shame, and they all bowed down and said, "The slave (slave family) is wrong to blame the general!" Please forgive the general! ”

"It's okay!" Seeing this, Liu Fan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Actually, what you said is right, I do have the intention of taking advantage of you." But what I want to borrow from you is your influence in Shilin, and with my Broken Army as the backstage to support you, no one will dare to force you to do anything you don't want to do. I want you to help, not just to use your beautiful faces for ulterior purposes. Rather, I want to give you a chance to escape your fate and fight for freedom. If you think this is humiliating you, I can apologize to you..."

"General, don't say any more!" Liu Ru was shocked, and hurriedly interrupted Liu Fan's words, and said in a low voice, "Your friendship, your understanding, we all understand, please don't say it again." Otherwise, if you and your sisters, you will have no shame to face the general again! ”

"Yes! General, it's you who are to blame! I hope you don't care about the villain, forgive us little women! Seeing this, Dong Xiaowan and the other women bowed down again, and their words were full of apologies.

Liu Fan saw that the beating was almost done, and the purpose of buying people's hearts had been achieved, so he didn't insist anymore, and pushed the boat down the river and said, "Okay, I can forgive you this time, but I won't take it as an example!" Our cooperation is based on mutual trust. If you can't even trust me, then it's all just talk. Well, in order to be open and honest, and to prevent such a thing from happening again, you and I have entered into a contract whereby I will hire you to join my library in an employment relationship. If you feel like you don't want to stay any longer, you can unilaterally terminate your contract anytime and anywhere. How is it? ”

"Concubines, sisters, thank you for your generosity and understanding!" Liu Ru is beautiful eyes were full of tears, and she was blessed with a soft blessing, and her pretty face showed a deep sense of gratitude and touch, and even her tone became softer.

Liu Fan smiled and helped Liu Ru to say, "If this is not necessary, the cooperation between you and me is also to help each other!" I shelter you and you do my best. Saying thank you is a bit out of sight. From now on, you are my Liu Fan's sister, if you have any difficulties, you can tell me directly, I can help! Xiao Wan, Xiangjun, the four of you too, you must speak out if you have difficulties! ”

"No, no! Thank you General for your concern! The girls also had red eyes and hurriedly thanked them

Liu Fan shook his head and said, "It seems that you still treat me as an outsider!" Others don't have Xiaowan, don't you either? I heard that your mother is seriously ill, and you came to Nanjing to earn money to treat her. Could it be that the news I got is fake? ”

Dong Xiaowan's eyes turned red when she heard this, and big tears slid down her jade cheeks, and she muttered, "Mother, she..."

"Okay, I know it all!" Liu Fan waved his hand to stop what the girl was going to say next, and said directly: "The governor of tomorrow will send someone to Suzhou with you to bring your mother to Nanjing." There are more famous doctors in Nanjing than in Suzhou, and when your mother comes in a few days, the governor will personally go to the Wei Mansion to invite their 'imperial doctor' to treat your mother. These two imperial doctors are the great hands of the old man personally given by His Majesty to the Duke of Wei, and I believe that your mother's illness will definitely be cured! ”

"General..."Dong Xiaowan snorted, fell into Liu Fan's arms, and sobbed, "Thank you, General, Xiaowan really doesn't know how to thank you!" (To be continued.) )
