"Big boss, there is another question, now that we have defeated more than 700 officers and soldiers of the Suiyang Guard, will the government be so easy to give up? What if the imperial army comes to encircle and suppress us? ”

In the end, Luo Chao stood up and asked suspiciously.

"Brother Luo, rest assured, it is certain that the imperial court will send troops to encircle and suppress us, but it will also treat us as ordinary bandits.

With the virtues of those old men in the government, when we send troops to encircle and suppress us, it is estimated that a month or two will have passed, and there will be no big army to encircle and suppress us, at most we will send some guards and military households over.

Now the elite army of the imperial court is mainly in the west to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's righteous army, and they will not have time to take care of our little thieves.

When the time comes, when those officers and soldiers of the guard station come to encircle and suppress us again, we will come to cover the water and cover the earth, and slowly play with them.

If it drags on for a year or two, even if the court wants to take care of us, I'm afraid we won't have time. ”

Li Zixiao replied to Luo Chao that there was something in this, because only he knew that in another year or two, when Li Zicheng's righteous army walked out of the mountains and broke the siege of the official army.

It's like a tiger coming out of the gate, when it attacks again, the court is too busy to take care of itself at that time, where can there be energy to care about them!

Of course, the person who can know this is estimated to be Li Zixiao alone in the world at this time, which is also his biggest reliance.

At the same time, he wants to set up his own team when Li Zicheng is out of the gate, and he will get a share of the benefits when Li Zicheng captures Luoyang in the future.

Since Li Zixiao has come forward to speak, it means that the development strategy of their cottage for a period of time in the future has been set, and others have nothing to say, just follow the order.

"Thank you for the advice, Luo Chao has been taught." After listening to Li Zixiao's words, Luo Chao arched his hand and said.

"Where, Brother Luo, we will be our family in the future, you don't have to speak so politely, how is your mother's illness?"

"Thank you for your concern, my mother's illness is getting better, and now I am very happy to be accompanied by Miss Xiaoying every day, and I want to thank the big boss for sending Miss Xiaoying to my mother to take care of her."

"That's good."

"Dazhu, don't worry, when I want to take the county seat of Yongcheng, I will definitely send you as a pioneer and let you cut off the head of the old dog of the Cai family with your own hands."

In the end, Li Zixiao saw Zhou Dazhu's lost look, so he had to come over and comfort him.

"Xie Da is in charge, I understand, I will obey orders." Zhou Dazhu was just disappointed, he still knew what to do, and he was not ambiguous about this.

After the meeting, Dong Zhuang came over and reported to Li Zixiao: "The big boss is really like a god, and the major villages and forts who sent Xiangyong to assist the officers and soldiers in encircling and suppressing our cottage really sent people to send us a batch of money and grain.

And explain that they were all coerced by the Cai family to send people to join, and at the same time, they also hoped to redeem those Zhuang villagers who were captured by us.

I have given orders from the great masters, and have left all the money and food they have sent, and I have also given all the letters which you have given me to the stewards of the villages, that they may bring them back to their masters. ”

"Well, I still don't understand the virtues of these landlords and old wealth, what to say about being coerced by the Cai family is pure fart, if we hadn't defeated the officers and soldiers this time, it is estimated that these people would like us to be exterminated by the officers and soldiers, so that they can get a piece of the pie."

After Wang Zirui listened to Dong Zhuang's words, his face showed disdain, and he snorted coldly.

"How much food did they send?" This question is what Li Zixiao really cares about.

"Well, they sent about 300 stones and 100 taels of silver from each village, among which Zhouzhuang sent the least, and they only sent 100 taels of grain and 80 taels of silver."

Dong Zhuang said as he spoke, he felt funny, and couldn't help laughing.

"Hahaha!" Qian Guangyuan, who was standing next to Li Zixiao, also heard Dong Zhuang's report at this time, and immediately burst into laughter.

"Big boss, what you said is really right, these landlords and old fortunes are all misers, all of them are short-sighted, just like Lin Laocai in Lin Jiabao.

They would rather keep a little money and food in their hands, even the lives of their whole family can be disregarded, it's really strange in the world, I don't understand, I really don't understand these people!

Up to now, they have come to ask us for peace, and they are still so slammed, a hundred stones of grain, eighty taels of silver, and he dared to send them over because of his skin.

His Zhouzhuang is much larger than Linjiabao, with thousands of tenants under him, hundreds of hectares of fertile land, and a high 70% land rent is levied from the tenants, and the grain he harvests every year is estimated to be unable to even pile up their granaries.

I don't know how these landlords and old fortunes will react when they see the letter you brought to them, I guess they will scold you to death.

I think that they will never agree to such conditions, and the nature of these landlords and old money will not change. ”

After Qian Guangyuan finished laughing, he couldn't help but shake his head again and again, he really didn't understand the thoughts of these landlords and old money, could it be that those things outside the body in this world were really more important than his own life and the life of his family!

"The big boss, the housekeeper sent by Zhouzhuang said that in the past two years, natural disasters have continued, and the output in the field has been reduced year after year, and there is not much food in his hands at all, and I hope that the big boss can bear it."

Dong Zhuang conveyed to Li Zixiao what Zhou Zhuang's housekeeper said.

"Fart, he thinks I'm a fool! I also believe in this kind of nonsense, just wait, if these old things really toast and don't eat and drink, don't blame Lao Tzu for being ruthless. ”

Li Zixiao's expression was cold, his tone was cold, and a fierce killing intent flashed in his eyes, which made all the people around him feel cold, and they were ready to mourn in silence for Zhou Papi.

Li Zixiao guessed that the landlords and old fortunes of these forts would definitely be very scared after hearing that they had defeated the officers and soldiers, afraid that Li Zixiao would attack them.

It just so happened that Li Zixiao planned to take advantage of their fear to extort this group of landlords and old money first, after all, they wanted to attack these forts everywhere, and it would take time to prepare after all.

Li Zixiao never expected that these people would be able to obediently understand the interesting points, and took the initiative to send them a large amount of money and grain, these landlords and old wealth all belong to the miser type, and they don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin.

Therefore, Li Zixiao asked Qian Guangyuan to write a letter to each village and fort, and when their housekeepers who sent money and grain to the cottage came, they would bring it back and hand it over to the owners of each village and fort.

After receiving the letter written to them by Li Zixiao, the landlords and old fortunes of those villages opened it in horror and read it.

In fact, all the letters are basically the same content, which is roughly to tell them that this time they sent people to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the White Snake Village, which is an active provocation of the White Snake Village.

What an unwise thing, Li Da is very unhappy, the consequences will be very serious, as they made such a wrong decision to damage the safety of the White Snake Village, they want to make up for the loss of the White Snake Village.

He also told them that many of their Zhuang Ding Xiangyong are still locked up in the White Snake Village, so that they don't have delusions anymore.

If they didn't want Zhuangzi to be beaten down by Li Da's family in the future, they still took into account the lives of the Zhuangding guards they were captured, so they quickly took out the money and food and sent it to the White Snake Village.

As compensation for the White Snake Village, the Li family can forgive them for their mistakes this time, and they can also release the Zhuang Ding Guardians who captured them.

If they don't come to their senses, then the lives of these farmers will be over, and this account will be settled with them at any time, and let them think about what to do with themselves.

In addition, every family was warned that they must not follow the old Wang Ba surnamed Cai so close in the future, and listen to his call, otherwise they will bear the consequences!

At the same time, Li Zixiao worked out a detailed amount of compensation for each village, and pulled a large list of grain, silver, iron, cloth, cotton, skins, pigs and sheep and other things for them.

Let them have a base in their hearts, and they will be ready within seven days, sent to the White Snake Village, and handed over to Li Da's family for acceptance.

Don't you regard money and food as your life, then Lao Tzu doesn't have all the money and food this time, and it can be replaced with something else, and now Li Zixiao is not short of money and food in his hands, but he is extremely short of iron, cloth, and other materials.

Li Zixiao is trying to find a suitable merchant partner and establish a trading channel that can allow him to obtain a stable source of materials, but he has no clue for the time being, so Li Zixiao can only hit the idea on these landlords and gentry of Zhuangbao.

These big families in Zhuangbao were shocked when they learned that the 700 officers and soldiers led by Liu Jinbao and thousands of villagers went to encircle and suppress the White Snake Village, and they were defeated.

After the shock, what was left for these big families was panic and fear, they were afraid that Li Zixiao would bring people to retaliate against them and attack their Zhuangbao.

Being able to defeat more than 700 officers and soldiers, thousands of brave bandits, how strong they must be, of course they know that if Li Zixiao really comes to attack one of their forts, it is estimated that it will be difficult for them to defend it.

Besides, in order to cooperate with the Cai family's encirclement and suppression action, they sent out more than half of the Zhuang Ding guards in the village, and now they were either eliminated by Li Zixiao in the previous battle, or they were captured.

They don't have many Zhuang Ding Guards in their hands at all, they can only recruit from the outside temporarily, and their combat effectiveness is not enough at all, where can they defend the strong poles of Li Zixiao, who is attacking in a big way.

Therefore, since receiving the news of the disastrous defeat of the officers and soldiers, the big families of these villages and forts have been like ants roasted on a hot pan.

On the contrary, when they received Li Zixiao's letter, they all breathed a long sigh of relief, after all, Li Zixiao was willing to blackmail them, which meant that he had no intention of attacking their fort.

As long as they don't attack their forts, they can negotiate everything, because they have everything in their forts, and then after reading Li Zixiao's extortion letter, the heads of the big families in the villages are all in pain to death.

Because of the large amount of these materials that Li Zixiao wanted, they were a little unbearable, and some landlords and old fortunes scolded at that time, claiming that a big son would not give Li Zixiao this bandit.

There are also some smart big family owners, who immediately began to calculate, arranging manpower to prepare various materials according to the price offered by Li Zixiao, and preparing to spend money to eliminate the disaster.

After all, although the amount of this material is huge, it hurts him, but they can still afford it, but if he is really angry with Li Zixiao's bandits, when he leads his troops to attack his own fort.

At that time, I am afraid that there will be nothing left in the end, so for a while, these landlords and old fortunes have their own ideas in their hearts.

In these big families, there are also those who have a long-term vision, after all, they can run such a big family business, and they will definitely not be stupid, and the reason for this is certainly understood.
