Li Anbo calculated in his heart that his previous income from one acre of land was about one tael of silver, and his family was more than 5,000 mu, and the annual income from land was about 5,000 taels.

After defecting to Daxing, the dividends after the autumn harvest are nearly 7,000 taels, which has greatly exceeded the income of the original land, which is still not plus the 3,000 taels of rewards, not to mention that Daxing is still expanding the territory, and the taxes collected in the future will be more, and the dividends will only be more, not less.

He is now more motivated to grab the land, and most of the other gentry who joined together are also in this mentality, and the dividends he gets are naturally the silver tickets of Daxing Qianzhuang, he will definitely not take it out, put it in it with interest every year, and take the silver for no reason, it is inevitable that others suspect that he wants to take money and run away, he is now focused on Daxing, and his son has also become a high-ranking official in Daxing, so he will not be stupid enough to do this kind of thing.

At this time, he was gathering more than a dozen big families in Dengzhou to hold a banquet in the mansion to celebrate everyone's dividends.

A middle-aged man raised his glass to Li Anbo and said: "Li Lao has made another miraculous feat this time, and he has been rewarded by King Xing, everyone toasts Li Lao with a cup, and wishes Li Lao to rise step by step and make great progress." ”

Everyone agreed, Li Anbo smiled from ear to ear, and said busily: "Everyone drink this cup together and get rich together!" ”

After that, Li Anbo continued: "This time you can win Jimo and Mi County, you have also contributed a lot, I am really ashamed to live alone in this work, I don't know what you have for the next step to take Laizhou?" ”

Everyone began to talk to each other, but no one answered.

A man who looked like a scholar sitting next to a gentry suddenly spoke at this time and said, "Elder Li, there is a plan to take Laizhou below." ”

Li Anbo was overjoyed and asked, "I don't know what this gentleman is called, Ji will be safe?" ”

The middle-aged scribe said: "In Xia Sun Liang, it is Zhang Yuan's foreign family, now the exiles in Laizhou are everywhere, starving all over the wilderness, the prefect of Laizhou Ou Keli is resisting the rogues, the taxes are serious, and they are about to catch up with the reign of Chongzhen, we can send people to publicize Daxing in the city and only collect three layers of taxes, instigating the rebellion of the exiles!" Chaos, once the city is in chaos, Li Lao will beat up King Xing again and send troops, and Laizhou will be at your fingertips! ”

Li Anbo frowned and said, "But we are all rich people, and we are not good at inciting displaced people to rebel, can Mr. Sun be sure?" ”

It's not that he hasn't thought of this idea, it's just that the rich and the poor can't go together by nature, so let them, the landlords, commit violence! It's a bit of a strong man's difficulty.

Sun Liang said: "This is easy, I am willing to go, as long as Li Lao goes to Lord Bai to apply for a fund, he will go to the city to bribe the low-level officials and homeless leaders, and then bring them a batch of weapons, and the big thing can be done!" ”

Now they are all shareholders, and making money for Daxing is shared equally by everyone, so they naturally don't want to pay their own money to do public affairs, but all shareholders are willing to pay for this kind of expense, and there is no problem at all to ask for money for Bai Youcai.

Li Anbo slapped the table and said, "Okay! I don't know how much money Mr. Sun needs? ”

Sun Liang said: "Three thousand taels is enough!" ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, but they didn't expect that as long as he had this money, he would buy a city for three thousand taels, and they would wake up laughing in their dreams.

Li Anbo didn't say a word, he immediately agreed, and the next day he went to Bai Youcai to get money and weapons, and several big clans gathered more than 50 family members to accompany him.

……

Laizhou City, at the city gate after autumn, a breeze blew, sparse pedestrians in and out of the city gate, at the city gate, there was also a large row of poor people in rags, with many children, each child with a straw stuck in his head, these are the poor people can not live to sell themselves into slavery.

A group of more than fifty people marched to the city gates with several wagons carrying sacks of grain.

A servant stepped forward to stop him and shouted, "What are you doing? ”

One of the leaders hurriedly stepped forward, bowed his head and said, "Official, the little ones are the family members of the Lu shopkeeper of the Lu family's grain store in the city, and they are transporting a batch of grain into the city. ”

As he spoke, a silver ingot of ten taels slipped out of his sleeve.

The officials are overjoyed, and it is rare for them to get so much silver by guarding the city gates, and they must know that the officials who guard the city have no money, and everyone knows that guarding the city gates can make oil and water, and making money depends on extra money.

The official hurriedly put the silver into his sleeve, looked left and right, saw that no one found it, and said, "I know the shopkeeper Lu, let's go to the city!" ”

There was indeed a Lu grain store in the city, and the officials didn't think there was any surprise, and even the inspection of the carriage was saved, so they were directly let into the city.

After entering the city, the land was full of homeless people begging for food.

"Uncles, okay, my mother is dying of hunger, and she hasn't eaten for three days!"

A little beggar about ten years old was covered in dirt, probably hungry, and ran over and grabbed the middle-aged man's sleeve.

The middle-aged man behind him all showed disdain, but the middle-aged man squatted down very kindly, took out a piece of bread from his arms, and handed it to the child.

The child was overjoyed, and hurriedly took it, took a bite, and was a little reluctant, so he hurriedly ran to the side and handed the cake to the woman who was sitting on the side of the road and was too hungry to walk.

The middle-aged man followed and said with a smile: "Little brother, do you want to make money?" ”

The kid kept nodding.

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "You go and inform all the beggars in the vicinity to gather at the Dragon King Temple in the west of the city, and Uncle Ben will go there tonight to give everyone money!" ”

As he spoke, he took out two more pieces of bread from his bosom, as well as five copper coins.

The kid took it without hesitation, his face full of surprise, did he meet a great benevolent person today?

After the middle-aged man left, the child gave the bread and money to his mother, and told him about it, and the woman was overjoyed, and said, "Little Garden, then go and inform everyone, we must have met a great good man!" God bless the great benevolent people to live a long life! ”

The middle-aged man met several beggars along the way, and they all did this, not only giving them alms bread, but also giving each of them five cents, and asking them to notify the nearby beggars to come to the Dragon King Temple at night to receive the money.

After dark, the Dragon King Temple had already gathered hundreds of displaced people, and it was really crowded.

When no one went in again, fifty men stood guard at the door, each with a stick in his hand and a large bag on his back.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Inside the Dragon King Temple, a middle-aged man stood on a high place and said loudly.

The crowd quieted down, all waiting to receive the money.

"Master Ben called you here today to hire you to work, the work is very simple, you go to the street together every day, give me a walk around the city, and then, while walking, shouting, hungry, want to eat, it doesn't matter if you walk slowly, the slower the better, but you must gather together and walk, shout louder, understand?"

Everyone burst into laughter, although this job is a bit funny, but it is not difficult, these people are dying of hunger now, where do they care so much, loudly agreed.

The man waved his hand, and then said: "Very good, what you are willing to do is now line up one by one to go out, and receive money from the family at the door, one hundred wen per person, and don't tell anyone else, tomorrow night you people will come to collect the money, there are more people coming, my lord and my money will not be enough, you won't be able to receive it, do you know?" Master, I'll send someone to keep an eye on you, and if you don't do it well tomorrow, don't even think about coming over tomorrow night to get the money, you know? Tomorrow night or this time, get the money here! ”

One hundred wen can buy a pound of white noodles, how can these beggars be unwilling, such a high salary, they don't make so much money so fast, not to mention that the work is not difficult, but it is a little embarrassing, they are all going to eat, are they afraid of being embarrassed?
