"So decisive?"
Yang Dong looked at Butler Li with great interest, and suddenly his expression turned cold.
"Steward Li, do you know why I am here?"
When Butler Li heard this, he immediately screamed something bad in his heart. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said:
"May I ask, my lord, have you received an order from His Majesty to inspect the progress of the land allocation?"
Of course not. I have so many things to do, how can I take care of this?
Yang Dong complained in his heart, then nodded slightly,
"It seems that you are quite a smart person."
"In that case, things are simple. What your Li family has done is obviously against His Majesty's will."
"According to the imperial edict, disobeying the emperor's order will lead to the death of the nine tribes."
As soon as these words came out, Butler Li's expression immediately changed. He forced out a smile and said:
"Um... Sir, please don't make fun of me!"
"I have heard a thing or two about the current situation in the capital."
"If you are willing to let the Li family go, everyone in the Li family will definitely let you return home with a full load."
"Are you bribing me?"
Yang Dong looked at Butler Li with a half-smile, and suddenly his tone became serious.
"This is my first offense against your Li family, so I might as well let you go."
After hearing this, Butler Li's eyes lit up. But Yang Dong continued:
"But... you also have to do something, so that I can report to His Majesty."
"It's natural!"
Butler Li nodded immediately and said with a straight face:
"If you have any orders, sir, just ask."
Yang Dong nodded with satisfaction, turned to look at Zhao Yu and asked:
“Is there any undeveloped wilderness nearby?”
"Of course there is!"
Zhao Yu immediately nodded and answered. Although he couldn't figure out what Yang Dong wanted to do, he still told everything he knew.
"This place is called Liang County, and the west side is blocked by mountains. Between the mountains, valleys are distributed like a checkerboard, and they are all flat and fertile land. Unfortunately, the terrain in the mountains is complicated, and it is not easy to cultivate it manually."
Yang Dong nodded slightly, looked at Butler Li and said:
"Did you hear that? If you, the Li family, don't want to be punished by the Nine Clan, you will open up all the valleys on the west side of Liang County."
"The Emperor's grace is so great that I will only accept 70% of your harvest."
"Seventy percent!??"
When Butler Li heard this, his eyes widened immediately.
This eunuch from the West Factory is so cruel!
Qi Cheng, how is this different from robbery?
Although he knew in his heart that killing the Nine Clan was just to scare him. But now the head of the family's life is in other people's hands, and he has no choice but to surrender.
However, Butler Li still refused to give up and said with a smile:
"Sir, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, isn't it? Our Li family's land reclamation is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and money-consuming. If you take away 70%, we won't have anything left at all!"
"Please, Sir, please show your noble hand and let our Li family have a way out."
"What, are you rejecting me?"
Yang Dong frowned slightly, and an extremely cold aura suddenly burst out from his body!
Such a tyrannical momentum immediately caused all the Li family members, including Fatty, to kneel in front of Yang Dong.
Butler Li was horrified. He originally thought that the other party was just an ordinary West Factory spy.
But now it seems that I guessed wrong, and how wrong it was!
With such terrifying power of energy and blood, this eunuch named Yang is at least a master in the martial arts realm!
At this moment, Butler Li's heart hit rock bottom.
It's over, we really encountered a tough problem this time!
On the other side, the fat man was confused and stared at Butler Li and cursed.
"Little Plum, what exactly did you say that made this gentleman so angry?"
"I don't care what tasks Third Uncle has assigned you, but you must remember clearly that I am the head of the Li family!"
"My lord, my servant is disobedient to discipline. Please don't get angry. If you have any questions, let's just talk to him!"
Yang Dong nodded slightly, and the aura in his body instantly receded like a tide.
He glanced at Butler Li and said disdainfully:
"You think your family master is a fool. This only proves that you are ignorant."
On the other side, the fat man had already come over and said very familiarly:
"Hello, my lord, I, Li Dabao, am the head of the Li family."
"I have offended you many times before, so please don't blame me. What kind of compensation do you want? Is one hundred thousand taels of silver enough?"
Clam?
So generous in taking action?
Yang Dong admitted that his heart was moved at this moment.
Although one hundred thousand taels of silver is only a small amount, it is given for free and should not be taken for free.
However, he still put an end to this greedy idea.
Because more than money, he hopes to establish a role model under the land distribution policy.
And this Fatty Li was one of his chosen targets.
That's why he didn't just let Shu Shuxiao be captured and tried, but decided to give them a chance.
It's a pity that Butler Li seems to be smart, but in fact he is a fool.
However, as the head of the family, Li Dabao is somewhat interesting...
"I am not short of money, you don't have to be like this."
"If you, the Li family, want to get away with it, you need to reclaim the wasteland in the valley. Head of the Li family, what do you think?"
"Creating wasteland? Is it that simple?"
Li Dabao scratched the back of his head, and excitement burst out in his eyes.
"Okay, I promise you this!"
"Not only that, our Li family is willing to hand over all the harvest from the newly reclaimed land to the national treasury!"
Look at this pattern!
Yang Dong glanced at Butler Li again with a rather disdainful expression.
"By the way, this guy is the grain officer of your county. If you have any questions, you can ask him."
He said, pointing to Zhao Yu, who was covered in wounds and pale.
Li Dabao followed the sound and his eyes widened when he saw Zhao Yu's miserable state!
"Master Grain Officer, what's wrong with you? What kind of dog hurt you like this?"
"Steward Li, go quickly and invite the best doctors in the county. Ten of them will be given to the head of the family!!!"
As soon as these words came out, Butler Li's expression couldn't help but change.
Li Dabao frowned when he saw this.
"Why, my master can't even control you now?"
"No, no!"
Butler Li said, turning around and heading towards the county town.
At this moment, he didn't want to stay here for a minute. But at this moment, Li Dabao asked again:
"By the way, little Li Zi, do you know who hurt Brother Si Liang like this?"
"I……"
A complicated look flashed across Butler Li's cheeks.
He thought for a moment, pointed to the two servants beside him and said:
"It's both of them!"
"What did you say???"
Li Dabao's eyes suddenly widened and he said with a look of disbelief:
"Did one of our family members get hurt? Damn you evil slave, I'll beat you to death!"
