The two of them walked swaggering in Li Mao's mansion as if they had entered their own home, and the people in the mansion were not blind, so they naturally saw the two of them, but they both knew their identities, and they didn't dare to talk to them, just like the guards guarding the door.

The two soon arrived at Li Mao's greeting hall, and they didn't go to Li Mao himself, after all, the Li Mansion was so big, and they didn't bother to look for it, believing that someone would tell Li Mao about their entry into the mansion.

At this time, Li Mao was in his room, and he and his concubine were in a burst of clouds and rain, and they were refreshing.

"Master, you're moving faster, ~~ah~~ah~~~."

"Knock knock." Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Li Mao suddenly froze and said angrily; "Who, don't you know I'm busy right now?"

The subordinates outside naturally had a wry smile on their faces, if it weren't for Li Hefeng coming, he really wouldn't dare to disturb Li Mao at this time.

"Master, Master Li Zhuang is here, and now he is waiting for you in the welcome hall."

"What, why did that guy get here." Master Li Zhuang, this is the unified name of Li Hefeng in Luzhou City, and when people say Li Zhuang, he knows that he is talking about Li Hefeng.

"Master, it shouldn't be the one who came." The little concubine who was pressed under him also changed her face at this time and asked.

Li Hefeng, that is a perverted existence that makes people talk about it, no matter how much money Li Mao has, he can't afford to provoke that person.

"Where do you think there is a farmer surnamed Li in this Luzhou City?" Li Mao didn't dare to delay, so he got up and dressed directly, and walked towards the welcome hall before the clothes were ready, dressing as he went.

When Li Mao arrived at the guest hall, he saw Li and Feng sitting on chairs, drinking tea served to them by their subordinates.

Seeing Li Mao coming in a hurry, Li Hefeng laughed, and seeing his disheveled appearance, he knew what he was doing just now.

"Master Li, let's take the liberty of disturbing you, let's not disturb your Yaxing."

"No, no, Master Li Zhuang spoke politely, I don't know what happened when Master Li Zhuang came to me." Li Mao's heart sank, Li Hefeng came to visit him today, it was definitely not a good thing.

Liang Fan on the side saw it in his eyes, his eyes were full of embarrassment, he still remembered that when he and Li Hefeng first came to the Li Mansion five years ago, Li Mao's attitude towards Li Hefeng was more bad, where was he so low-brow and pleasing to the eyes like now, it was like seeing his own father.

"I came to find Master Li this time, in fact, I plan to make a deal with you, Master Li." Li Hefeng smiled slightly and said.

It's just that this smile, in Li Mao's opinion, is not a good smile.

Sure enough, Li Hefeng's next words made him suddenly bitter. "Recently, there are more places to spend money, and I am a little nervous at hand, so I hope Master Li can fund me a little, and I, I will let you not do anything in the next chaos."

Hearing Li Hefeng's words, Li Mao's eyes widened, and he immediately understood what Li Hefeng meant.

It has long been rumored that Li Hefeng is secretly recruiting troops and preparing to rebel, and many people do not know the news, but now it seems that this news is not fake.

If Li Hefeng really wants to rebel, he really has to give the other party silver, and it can't be less, it should be regarded as protection money, for businessmen, war is the most terrible.

Without strong force, they can't even protect their wealth, and they can easily be robbed.

This kind of thing has not happened before, which is why in every rebellion, there will be big families to join, because they have money, and if they want to keep this money, they must support one of them, and if no one supports it, only the share of robbery.

Li Hefeng is coming to him now, isn't this what it is, think about what the days will be after he loses his wealth, Li Mao suddenly has a spirit, no, he must not lose his current status and wealth, that will make him worse than death.

Moreover, he has been a businessman for so many years, and it is not that he has no enemies, but because of his identity and wealth, he does not dare to provoke him.

But if he loses his current status, then those people will definitely rush up like crazy, and that kind of scene is terrifying to think about.

"Since Master Li Zhuang said so, I naturally can't be stingy. Five million taels of silver, how?. Li Mao stretched out five fingers, looked at Li Hefeng and said.

"Five million taels." Hearing this number, Liang Fan was shocked and surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that this Li Mao was really willing, and directly took out five million taels of silver, which is not a small number, for ordinary people, even if it is a lifetime, it will not be spent.

Even for him, this is an astronomical amount. I can't think of a number, but I didn't expect this Li Mao to be so generous.

Li Hefeng didn't nod directly, but shook his head and said; "Too little."

Li Mao gritted his teeth, "Ten million taels, this is the largest number I can come up with, if it is more, it will hurt my foundation." ”

When he said this number, Li Mao also had a painful face, 10 million taels of silver, this is a number that ordinary people dare not think of, even if it is Li Mao, it cannot be easily taken out.

Taking out this money, even if it is him, it will hurt his muscles and bones.

But he can't help it, Li Hefeng came to him this time, not so much to ask him for money, but to give him an ultimatum, if he doesn't give it, then after Li Hefeng raises troops, the first unlucky person must be him.

After all, Li Hefeng's family background is in Luzhou City, and once he raises troops, he will be the first to be unlucky.

Can he not be 'generous'? But 10 million taels is really already at his limit, no matter how much, he can't have much.

Li Hefeng naturally knew that Li had taken the limit, and he was not forcing him, so he nodded.

"Okay, Master Li is really generous, don't worry, although I, Li Hefeng, am not very good, but my words must count, I just hope that Master Li and your silver two can be as soon as possible." After speaking, Li Hefeng left with Liang Fan.

In five years, he has more than 100,000 people under his hands, even if Li Hefeng empties the entire treasury, it will cost him almost the most, which is why he came to Li Mao to extort money, there is no money.

The matter of raising troops is already on the gun, and it is waiting to be launched.

Now that there is money, the worse thing is food.

Subsequently, Li Hefeng handed over the matter of grain to Liang Fan. Let Liang Fan be responsible for purchasing grain.

This year, because of a drought, the grain harvest was not good, so even Li Mao's guy didn't have much grain in his hands, so Liang Fan could only go to other places to buy grain.

There is a matter of buying food in the past, and people are relaxed.
