Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

Zhang Dalang gritted his teeth and nodded his head with a bit of flattery, "Sell, but Caomin doesn't have much food in stock, so I can only sell you half of it."

Li Xu added this number to [-]% without even thinking about it, but the other party refused to agree no matter what.

Li Xu is not in a hurry, the first battle must be done well at the beginning, otherwise it will be even more difficult later on.

"I don't know what kind of business Brother Zhang's family is running?"

After being called "Brother" one by one by King Shun, Zhang Dalang's legs were softened by the shout, and his attitude softened a lot, "To tell you the truth, the villain's family started as a sauce maker, and now the business has grown a bit, but it is only Can barely make ends meet."

Li Xu stared at the luxurious furnishings in the living room, thinking: I believe in your evil, the reason why he was the first to find this family is because he knows that this family is rich.

"This king ate a kind of sauce at the banquet yesterday. It was very delicious. I wonder how it compares to brother Zhang's sauce?"

"But Mr. Qiao's banquet? His family's sauce has always been provided by villains." Zhang Shanghu was proud, but when he thought that Mr. Qiao had been beheaded, his proud expression froze.

He then looked at the Habayashi army surrounding King Shun, all of them were equipped with swords and swords, their waists were straight, and their eyes were fierce, especially the man wearing a mask standing beside King Shun, exuding murderous aura.

He licked his lips and said with a smile: "My lord is busy with work, and the villain will not lie to you. At most, I can only sell you 1000 or two hundred dans of grain. If there is more, I really don't have any."

This number is [-]% of what Li Xu shouted just now. Although it is lower than what he expected, it is already a good start. He stood up contentedly, "It's settled, Brother Zhang ordered someone to load the car and send it to the east of the city." In the granary, there will be a small official to receive and weigh the grain, and the grain will be sent to you after the grain is in the warehouse."

Merchant Zhang didn't expect to be forced to sell a grain and had to deliver it himself. He hesitated and said, "I don't have so many vehicles and cloth bags in my house. I'm afraid it's..."

Li Xu stared at him with a smile, "Well, then you tell me the location of the granary, and I will ask someone to move it."

Oh, that's okay, Zhang merchant suddenly came back to his senses, and quickly replied: "No need, the prince's people are busy, just leave this trivial matter to the villain." Just kidding, let this person know that he The location of the family granary, can the remaining grain be kept?

Li Xu left satisfied, and went straight to the next target, a big landowner in Linzhen, but this time it didn't go so smoothly, no matter what he said, the other party only had one word: "poor", and if he said too much, just two words : "No food."

Li Xu already knew that this was Zhou's picky personality, so he didn't lie when he saw that his words didn't work, so he immediately ordered Yu Linjun to tie up his family. He neither beat nor scolded, but cared and said: "Since Brother Yang said that the family is poor, the king will take your family away together. It just so happens that Mr. Qiao's manor is vacant, and they will be placed there. The king will take care of their food and drink, oh, yes , This king is still raising thousands of people, although the food is running out every day, but with this king's porridge, you will definitely not starve your family."

This can be said to be a blatant threat. Landlord Yang's family has been well-clothed and well-fed since they were young, so they are not willing to live with the victims, and what Li Xu said means that they must be hungry. How can this be done? ?

This Landlord Yang is a filial piety, but he is an outsider, and he is still very filial to his parents, not to mention his youngest son is only a few months old, so he is not willing to let Li Xu take him away to practice him.

He gritted his teeth and promised to give Li Xu half of the food, but the price should not be lower than the market price.

Li Xu thought about it, and nodded with a smile: "This is what it should be. It's just that I don't have much money when I go south. This disaster relief should be presided over by the governor of Yangzhou Wan County. Why don't I write a copy for Mr. Wan?" How about the IOU? When Mr. Wan arrives, ask him for money with the IOU."

Landlord Yang looked distrustful, "What if Lord Wan refuses to admit it?"

"Don't worry, this king will report this matter to His Majesty, Master Wan will not let it go, not only that, but this king will also write in the memorial for anyone who donates food and cloth this time, and apply for awards from His Majesty."

This temptation is extraordinary, for someone from a small place like Landlord Yang, not to mention applying for an award from the emperor, even showing his name in front of him is a great thing for the family.

"Is this true?"

"nature."

"That's fine, it's up to the prince."

Li Xu left in satisfaction. He actually couldn't guarantee that Wan Chunlin would not renege on his debts, but these are all things to come later. We need to solve the problem of food and clothing first. As for applying for the award, it depends on whether the emperor will give him this reward or not. My son lost face.

Li Xu collected grain from seven or eight families along the way, and counting the amount, it has been able to last for a long time. Jiangnan is a land of fish and rice, and the local big landlords and wealthy families have a lot of grain. This is only near Yuhang City. If the entire Yangzhou After the government is mopped up, the food accumulated will be spectacular.

Li Xu's journey was not smooth, there were always some people who threatened and lured them without nodding, Li Xu admired the integrity of such people in his heart, and at the same time beat and robbed them with swords, just like a bandit.

Fortunately, this prince robbed someone of their food and would leave half of it for them. Afterwards, he threw an IOU issued in the name of Wan Junshou, and completed the formalities of forced buying and selling.

You can sue him for robbery, he said he spent money to buy it, you can sue him for forced buying, he asked: "Where is the evidence? You sold everything, if you insist on suing me for forced buying, how do I know you didn't sell it out?" Did you regret it?"

Well, in short, everything was taken up by him.

Li Xu is not afraid that the forces behind these people will unite to impeach him. He is a down and out prince, and he has been driven to a corner. Go back to the capital with your luggage?

Moreover, it will take more than a month for the memorial here to be delivered to the emperor after he finished his instructions. At that time, Li Xu has already entered the mountain, so it is hard to say whether he can be found.
