Chapter Ninety-Seven: Collaboration with the Enemy and Betrayal of the Country

"Lord Xie Li's grace not to kill, Lord Xie Li's magnanimity."

Peng Changzhou kowtowed and said, but at this time, Li Yue showed an intriguing smile.

"Twenty miles outside Huangzhou City, there is a mountain surrounded on three sides, and there are thousands of hectares of fertile land under the mountain, and no one is worried about planting, you take the Peng family there!"

When Li Yue said this, Peng Changzhou's originally smiling face froze.

Seeing that the surroundings had been controlled by Li Yue, even the Peng family's proud secret guards were disarmed under his instructions.

Knowing that the situation was irreparable, he could only accept it with a wry smile.

"Thank you for Lord Li's reward, my Peng family will thrive there for generations."

Peng Changzhou said helplessly.

"Don't be so lost, in fact, that place is very good, backed by mountains and rivers, and there are thousands of hectares of fertile land, which is definitely enough for your Peng family to live."

Li Yue showed a warm and harmless smile and comforted Peng Changzhou.

"Master Li, I understand, I will tell the clansmen."

Peng Changzhou stood up helplessly and took Li Yue to inspect the dark guards.

After seeing the equipment and physical fitness of the dark guard, Li Yue was also a little greedy, and felt that these people in front of him were indeed of great use.

"Tang Yuan, come here, bring these hundreds of people to Uncle Seventh for me, they have a good foundation, and it is good material to train them well."

Li Yue said with a sigh.

"Young master, these people are all dead soldiers of the Peng family! Will they surrender sincerely? ”

Tang Yuan asked with a puzzled expression.

"It's not your business whether you can completely surrender them, that's Uncle Seven's business, just leave it to him, you don't have to worry about it."

Li Yue said with a hint of dissatisfaction, which made Tang Yuan on the side hurriedly kneel on his knees after hearing it.

"Young master, there is a mistake in the humble position, please punish it."

Tang Yuan felt that he had collided with Li Yue, revealing a look of horror, as if the sky was about to fall.

Seeing Li Yue like this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Okay, don't kneel, go to work, I don't blame you, next time my decision will be followed."

Li Yue couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he was sleepy at the moment, and hurriedly returned to his residence in the backyard of the government to sleep.

This sleep went straight to noon, Chen Lingyue carried the tray and walked to Li Yue's room with graceful steps.

"Bell! Clang! Clang! ”

"Childe, have you woken up? I've got breakfast for you. ”

Chen Lingyue's voice was very sweet, and as soon as he finished speaking, Li Yue opened the door, but at this time he was still sleepy-eyed.

"Ahh

"What time is it, and why is it so bright? Why is the sun overhead in the morning? ”

Li Yue sighed, looked at the sky and said with a sigh.

"Hehe, Childe is now on the third pole of the sun, and it's almost noon."

Chen Lingyue said with a smile.

"Wow, why did you call me? The affairs of those big households in the county town have not been resolved, how can they sleep for so long. ”

Li Yue said reproachfully.

"Don't worry, Childe, those big families who are hiding have all run to the yamen of the county government with grain, gold and silver early this morning."

Chen Lingyue said excitedly.

"Oh, is it? It seems that this crippled the largest Peng family is still somewhat useful. ”

Li Yue said with a sigh.

"Childe, it's still your sky-shattering detonator, if it weren't for such a powerful power, which instantly shocked those little people, there would definitely be chaos in the city now."

Chen Lingyue said with a sigh.

"I did it a few days ago when I was bored in my spare time, and I just wanted to use it again, but I can do more next time."

Li Yue smiled very naturally, but at this time, he realized that Chen Lingyue was still holding a tray in her hand, and hurriedly took it and turned it back to her room.

Chen Lingyue, who originally wanted to follow into the house, was politely rejected by Li Yue.

At this time, the big families in Huaiyuan City had already given all the silver taels in their hands, and at this time, the person in charge of registration was also frightened into a cold sweat after seeing the account book.

Tang Yuan, who was assisting in bookkeeping on the side, saw this scene, and couldn't help but come forward to check the accounts paid.

"I said sir, what is there to be afraid of, looking at you like this, it's like seeing a ghost, isn't it just that these people have more silver taels and grain?"

Tang Yuan said disdainfully.

"My lord, I am the bookkeeper who is responsible for the registration of the tax collection in the county government, I know how much tax Huaiyuan County pays in a year, but these are enough to pay taxes for fifty years."

The bookkeeper said with a sigh on his face.

"Yes, it was these people who ate the entire Ming Dynasty and slaughtered them, and the Ming Dynasty may last for another hundred years."

Tang Yuan casually teased Da Ming, not shying away from the eyes of others.

In his heart, only Li Yue can be regarded as the master, and only he can be worthy of the name of the co-master of the world.

"My lord, it's good to say a few words, now that this era is chaotic, it's still the world of the Ming Dynasty."

The bookkeeper reminded in a whisper.

"What are you afraid of, where is there a Ming world here, it is the world of the young master."

Tang Yuan said with a solemn face.

After hearing these words, several of the surrounding people were guards who came with Tang Yuan, and they also cast approving glances and acquiescing expressions.

It seems that in Li Yue's personal guard, it is only a matter of time before his master wins the world.

Although there were still a few people who were dissatisfied in their hearts, they all remained silent and endured what Tang Yuan said.

Li Yue, who was sitting in the lobby of the county government, looked at the accounts recorded night after night, and his heart was extremely shocked.

"Sure enough, as I guessed, this Huaiyuan County is really rich, oops, silver alone is a million taels."

Li Yue's face sighed, but he didn't know that more than half of the million taels of silver belonged to the Zhao family and the Qin family.

After the destruction of the two families, the Peng family led the wealth of the two families in an instant.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Shipeng was able to take Huaiyuan County with 1,000 people.

"Childe, how can there be so much silver in just one county? What did they do? ”

Chen Lingyue said with a look of surprise.

"Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, Huaiyuan County produces cast steel used in refined iron refining firearms, so this is also a big smuggling county."

Li Yue didn't have to think about it to know that Huaiyuan County not only cast firearms for the Ming court, but also made weapons for the rebels and barbarians outside the Guan.

"Childe, if you want to say that, I can understand, but why should such an important matter as the manufacture of firearms be delegated to the people?"

Chen Lingyue's face was foggy, and she couldn't understand what the court was doing at this time.

"This matter is actually very simple, that is, because the imperial court has no money and cannot produce its own products, it can only be delegated to the great family and let them do it."

Li Yue said with a wry smile.

Hearing this, Chen Lingyue couldn't help but sigh.
