Early the next morning.

The sun is shining, and the deserted streets are bustling again.

Li Xiuyuan, his father Li Dafu, Steward Li, and several loyal guards from the mansion headed towards the grain field outside the county.

"Isn't this the eldest young master?

"I haven't seen the eldest young master for a long time, and the eldest young master is even more handsome than before. ”

"I heard that the eldest young master has passed the Xiucai examination, congratulations, I will not be called the eldest young master in the future, but the master Xiucai. ”

The people in the county and the nearby hawkers greeted Li Xiuyuan warmly.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and nodded in response, saying a word from time to time.

This is his reputation in the county, and people like Chutian and Li Liangjin are different, his reputation does not come from the powerful, but from doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, as well as benefiting the people, bringing work to the people, the Li family is like a big tree in Guobei County, sheltering these people who have nothing to rely on.

In this era of natural disasters and turbulent times, Guobei County has a prosperous era.

Not to mention that all of this is the credit of the Li family, at least it is inseparable from the Li family.

The grain field outside the county, with a radius of three or four miles, will be densely packed with grain during the autumn harvest, and in winter, a large amount of forage will be hoarded here for the winter livestock.

Of course, this is also the land of the Li family.

But at this time, there are many grass sheds built in this grain field, one by one, neatly and neatly, some idle and bored men basking in the sun on the grain field, some talking nonsense, some arguing and fighting, and some moving their muscles and bones to show their martial arts.

Dart masters from all over the world are here.

"Father, who is in charge of these dart masters now?" asked Li Xiuyuan.

Li Dafu said: "No one cares about it, my father is not at ease, and I am afraid that they will make trouble, so I let Han Meng take a group of people to take care of it." ”

Han Meng?

Li Xiuyuan has an impression of this person, he is a loyal and righteous man, and he has done things for him before.

"Go to someone and find Han Meng. Li Xiu said from afar.

"Yes, young master. One of the guards answered and quickly left.

After a while, Han Meng hurriedly ran over: "Young Master, are you looking for me?"

"Gather all the dart masters in the barn, I have something to say. Li Xiu said from afar.

"Yes, young master. Han Meng clenched his fists in response and turned to leave.

Li Dafu was a little worried: "Wu'er, the tree is a big move, our Li family is afraid that pulling out so many people at once will cause some people's suspicions, and it is easy to cause trouble, this Li Liangjin's rebellion is managed by the imperial court, why should we meddle with things, the sky can't fall." ”

"Father, the sky can't fall, but Li Liangjin's rebellion is right at the door of his house, if he brings troops over one day, won't our Li family be wiped out? As for the matter of suspicion, my father doesn't need to worry, who dares to suspect our Li family in the Jiangnan generation? Not to mention anything else, just these 7,000 people go to this station, which official doesn't tremble in his heart?"

"Li Jiataoguang has been in obscurity for many years, and it's time to make a move, wouldn't it be better to fight for a prince and a glorious ancestor?"

Li Xiuyuan said with a smile, using fame and fortune to tempt his father.

Li Dafu's eyes lit up, and his heart moved.

But soon he calmed down and hesitated: "It's good to lead the troops to win the battle, if you lose, then the Li family won't be finished." ”

"Father, you are too worried, if you can't fight, you will run, we are relying on the court behind us, we can't let the court be destroyed, we are quelling chaos, not rebellion, and we are doing well, how can there be a disaster." Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.

As he finished speaking, in the grass shed, thousands of people on the grain field began to gather under Han Meng's greeting.

For a while, the empty grain field was full of people, and there was a lot of noise around it.

"What's the matter, what is the good Han Meng doing when he gathers us all together?"

"It seems that Master Li and the eldest young master are here, I don't know what it is for. ”

"It's not going to be a reward, hehe, it's going to be the New Year soon. ”

"Go and send thousands of people rewards, do you really think that Master Li's family has gold and silver. ”

Han Meng shouted loudly at this time: "It's all quiet, it's noisy and noisy." ”

"Huh, Han Meng, you are not an official yet, now that you have official authority, you can still take care of me, I am the head of the dart, and my status is higher than yours. ”

"Haha, that's it, there's no official, I'll give it to myself. ”

Many men teased and ignored Han Meng's control.

More than 7,000 people are noisy and noisy, and it is indeed unbearable to have a person with enough weight to take care of it.

"Son, I'm afraid something bad will happen. Li Dafu said in a low voice: "There are too many people, and Han Meng can't control it." ”

"My father is right, but he can't control it, but I can, give me a healthy horse, and see how I can control these men. Li Xiu said from afar.

The guard next to him immediately brought a healthy horse over.

Li Xiuyuan rode to a mound on horseback, and then shouted with all his strength: "It's all quiet." ”

The voice was loud, and the reason for the entrainment of energy sounded like rolling thunder, and there were thousands of people who did not hear it.

The scene was silent.

These people were surprised, different, and curious, and they all looked in the direction from which the sound came.

"I'm Li Xiuyuan, the eldest young master of the Li family, I have something to say about you today, I hope you all listen to me quietly, I won't mind if you were noisy before, but from now on, if anyone is noisy, they will not be spared. Li Xiuyuan shouted again.

The eldest young master of the Li family?

Some people know it, and many people don't.

Someone in the crowd smelled: "Li Xiuyuan, do you know the eldest young master of the Li family?"

"I don't know, but it must be Master Li's son-in-law, our owner. ”

"It turned out to be a young owner, this voice is quite loud. ”

Some whispers rang out, and although they didn't dare to talk loudly, they hid in the shadows to discuss.

But when these people were whispering, Li Xiuyuan swept his eyes, and immediately rode over with a cold face, pointing at the three people: "Didn't I say that I was not allowed to disturb? Why don't you three listen?"

"Shao Dong, it's our fault, and I ask Shao Dong to forgive me. ”

A slightly emaciated man sneered.

Li Xiuyuan shouted: "Han Meng, take these three people down, one person will be beaten with ten sticks, as a memory, and those who will be disturbed again will be beaten with twenty sticks each, so as to add it." ”

"Yes, young master. ”

Han Meng responded with a fist, and with a few people, he pressed the three people to the ground, picked up the stick and hit them.

"Young owner, this, this wronged, the little one just muttered a few words and couldn't beat ten sticks. The man hurriedly exclaimed.

Li Xiuyuan said: "I have a word first, and I will never be spared, don't you think that I am just talking casually? If you have a little backbone, you can resist these ten sticks, and then say, don't let people look down on people and make people think that you can't even carry ten sticks." ”

As soon as these words came out, the three people immediately held their mouths and stopped shouting wrongs, so as not to be embarrassed in front of so many men.

"This is the young owner in Liwei. Some shrewd dart masters said secretly in their hearts.

At this time, whoever has an abnormal brain to make trouble is to hit the hands of the young owner, ten sticks are considered light, if you hit twenty rollers, thirty sticks, I am afraid that you will not be able to get off the ground for a month.

"Very well, I don't want anyone to do it again, now I have my ears pricked up, I will only say it once, don't be a deaf ear. Li Xiuyuan rode back and stood on the mound and shouted.

"Just last month, somewhere in Yangzhou, a thief named Li Liangjin gathered a crowd to rebel, now nearly 100,000 people, swept more than ten cities in Yangzhou, I believe that some well-informed dart masters have known about this, but there are also some who don't know, but it doesn't matter, you will all know about it after today. ”

"Li Liangjin rebelled, if you go down like this to the vicinity of the New Year's Pass, you will enter Jinling City, when Guo Beicheng and Guo Bei County will also be affected, you want to make money by darts, it is impossible to support your family, and then you can only become disaster victims, displaced people, either go away to avoid disasters, or be coerced by the thief army, and then be exterminated by the imperial court to become a thief, there is no second way to go. ”

As soon as these words were spoken, thousands of people suddenly became in an uproar.

The scene couldn't help but be a little restless.

Many dart masters didn't seem to have thought that there had been a rebellion in Yangzhou, where they were located, and there were 100,000 people.

"Quiet. ”

Li Xiuyuan shouted again: "The rebels are about to hit the doorstep, if you don't want to become a homeless person, a rebel, and don't want to lose your wife and children, follow me Li Xiuyuan today, follow me to guard the door of the house, and keep the rebels out. ”

At this point, he paused, scanning the crowd to see how they were reacting.
