Chapter 8: Making Money

This incident completely exceeded his expectations.

Liu Tian secretly said in his heart: It seems that the chaos in Fancheng has affected the people so deeply.

"Li Gongzi, can you tell General Ben where the grain in Fancheng is sold?"

"All the grain in Fancheng was sold out, and it all entered the warehouses of major merchants." Li Yulong said, "As for the major merchants buying grain from Fancheng, they all exchange it for gold. ”

"This ...... It's simply lawless. Liu Tian was furious and shouted, "General Ben will never agree!" ”

Liu Tian was born at the bottom, and he was originally a common man, and he could never bear to see the people hungry and suffer.

"The general is angry." Li Yulong hurriedly comforted.

Liu Tian took a deep breath, turned around and said to Liu Chuan, the Hulongwei Qianhu behind him: "From now on, order the army to cut down on food and clothing, and all the food saved will be given to the people." ”

"No. The last will obey. ”

Liu Chuan clenched his fists and took his life.

Liu Tian turned his head to stare at Li Yulong again, and said coldly: "Li Gongzi, this general knows that you are a child of the Li family's side branch, a child of the family. Did you deliberately approach General Ben for any purpose? ”

"General Liu misunderstood, and he didn't have the idea of coveting General Liu's position." Li Yulong hurriedly said, "I am sincerely thinking about the people and want to say a few words for the people." “

Liu Tian snorted: "That's fine." ”

"However, there are a few heartfelt words to tell General Liu."

"Let's talk about it."

"Tiger Dragon Guard is indeed a strong martial artist, and he has experienced a hundred battles, which is terrifying. However, these people alone may not be able to suppress all the rogue bandits in Fancheng. Li Yulong said.

Liu Tian asked, "Could it be that your Li family has other ways?" ”

"I think General Liu should recruit more soldiers and train them to become elite. In this way, it is possible to ensure that Fancheng will not suffer disasters again. ”

"In addition, at this moment, the people are struggling to make a living, and there are many people in the disaster, I don't know if General Liu can use work for relief!"

"Cash-for-work?"

Liu Tian frowned and thought.

I have to say that this Li Yulong is still a bit of a brain.

After all, he had already thought about it in his head just now.

Of course, Liu Tian knew that recruiting more soldiers would cost a lot of silver. However, if he didn't recruit, relying only on the little grain and grass he brought, plus fighting the bandits, it was not enough to maintain the livelihood of the people in Fancheng.

Recruiting people into the army can not only solve the problem of food and grass in a short time, but also quickly expand the power of Hulongwei.

This account can still be settled.

Liu Tian nodded and said, "Since Li Gongzi reminded me, General Ben has written it down." When General Ben returned, he gathered his men to plan for the matter. ”

Li Yulong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"General Liu, then I'll leave first."

"Walk slowly, don't send."

Liu Tian waved his hand.

Li Yulong arched his hand towards Liu Tian, and then left with the guards.

Liu Tian stood for a long time, sighed, and returned to Fancheng.

At the moment, he is in a difficult situation.

Silver is needed to help the victims, silver is needed to expand the Tiger Dragon Guard, and it is also necessary to exterminate bandits, and people and horses need silver.

And only by expanding the tiger dragon guard and solving the bandits, can the people be at peace, and if you want to solve the bandits, you can't do without people.

Tossing and turning, I can't escape the embarrassment of not having silver.

Silver.

Silver.

"Where does the money come from?"

Liu Tian was full of ambition and muttered to himself.

I vaguely remember that Emperor Yan, who was in the imperial city at the moment, seemed to be facing this dilemma.

And he gave Emperor Yan an idea at the beginning......

That's...

Raid the house!

Thinking of raiding the house, Liu Tian frowned.

His doubts now are not about whose house he is raiding, nor how he is raiding it.

It's the attitude of Emperor Yan.

Raiding the house and taking the silver, this is a simple and crude means.

How could Emperor Yan, who was the Emperor of Great Yan, not think of it?

Well, since you can think of it.

Why not do it!

Combined with Emperor Yan, Liu Tian was sent to Fancheng.

Lin Tian suddenly understood.

Emperor Yan wants to use Liu Tian as a mirror......

It's not that he doesn't know how to raid his home, but he wants to know how to raid his house to minimize the impact.

Most of the people who can be raided are gentry and wealthy businessmen, among whom the rich rival the country, and there are many people with monstrous power.

And once an improper operation is improper, it is likely to cause a huge reaction, and when the time comes, I am afraid that Emperor Yan will not be able to control it.

And sending Liu Tian here is not just to see what Liu Tian means?

That's it.

Liu Tian immediately smiled.

This Yan Huang is indeed cunning.

But since he wants to learn, Liu Tian doesn't mind teaching him.

"Someone!"

Liu Tian called his cronies and instructed: "General Chuanben ordered to immediately send someone to investigate the situation of the Wang family's mansion. ”

"Yes!"

……

Fancheng, north of the city.

It was a gathering place for wealthy merchants.

There are four major families in Fancheng.

Among them, the Wang family ranked second and was the richest gentry in Fancheng.

The third and fourth ranked two are the Zhou family and the Chen family.

The Wang family owns two-thirds of Fancheng's land.

In addition, the Wang family also hired private soldiers and trained many family members.

Therefore, the Wang family's defenses were relatively tight.

Inside the courtyard of the Wang family's house.

Old man Wang lay on the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps.

Old Man Wang slowly opened his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?" ”

A guy ran over.

"Old lady, a team of officials suddenly came outside the gate, saying that they were going to search for the thieves in Fancheng." The little guy said.

"Oh? How can it be reasonable to dare to search my Wang's house! ”

Old Man Wang was furious.

Immediately, Old Man Wang asked, "Did they find anything?" ”

The little guy shook his head, "Old lady, they didn't search. ”

"No search?"

Old Man Wang was stunned.

After a while, Old Man Wang laughed and his face was gloomy, "This group of officials is really full of food and panic, and they searched my Wang family for no reason." Is it because life is too comfortable? ”

Old Man Wang's words obviously defined the officials of Fancheng as moths.

"Old lady, do you want your subordinates to send them away?" The little guy suggested.

Old Man Wang waved his hand and said indifferently: "Forget it, let them go." We don't break the law, so what's there to be afraid of them? ”

"But......" the little servant hesitated, "but when they searched our royal family, they destroyed a lot of things. ”

Old Man Wang said: "It's just a broken thing. It's not worth having a bad relationship with them. These dogs are fighting people's power, and after two days, the old man will be free, and he must clean them up. ”

"Hey......

The little guy smiled a little sinisterly.

Although the little guy is loyal, he is also the person next to the old man Wang, and he is naturally towards his own master.

"Go down."

"Yes!"

The little guy retreated.

After a while, the little servant entered the room again and reported: "Old lady, those dog officials are still lingering in front of the gate, and a flagpole has been erected at the door. ”

"Why are you putting up a flagpole? Look for death! ”
