In the backyard of the Chen family, Wangyue Tower.
Li Jun took Xu Da to the attic private room on the second floor.
at this time,
In addition to Chen Wei, there were three middle-aged people with unfamiliar faces sitting in the private room.
Everyone is beautifully dressed and has an extraordinary bearing,
Seeing Li Jun coming, Chen Wei stood up and said angrily to Li Jun, "Li Jun, you are here, look at you, you don't know the rules and etiquette, you have made us elders wait for you for so long."
"Okay, in order to make amends, I will punish myself with a drink." Li Jun glanced at Chen Wei meaningfully, as if protesting, sat down in an empty seat next to Chen Wei, picked up the wine glass on the table, and drank. Go down.
Fortunately, Li Jun can also drink in modern times, and his drinking capacity is acceptable. It is no problem to drink a glass of wine.
"Come, let me introduce to you the heads of the other three famous families in Yiling." Chen Wei walked to the three people opposite and stopped next to a middle-aged man in black clothes and brocade clothes at the far end. Next, "This is Huang Kai, the head of the Huang family."
"Next to him is Cui Wei, the head of the Cui family, and finally Liu Lin, the head of the Liu family."
Li Jun didn't seem to have any interest in the three of them, so he didn't even look at their appearance and politely handed them one by one.
The heads of the three major families had different expressions. Except for the Huang family, which had a gloomy look, the other two families all returned the favor to Li Jun with smiles on their faces.
"Heads of the clan, I think you also know my identity. Let me introduce myself to you again. My name is Li Jun, and I am the new Jingzhou Shepherd of the Han Dynasty."
Facing three famous families, Li Jun didn't know how to make an opening statement, so he had to introduce himself casually.
Huang Kai sneered,
Li Jun knew that he was Huang Cheng's father, and he beat Huang Cheng yesterday. How could he, Huang Kai, look good.
Therefore, Li Jun didn't care so much and just smiled lightly, "I asked my father-in-law to invite you to come to the Chen family. There is a big matter that needs to be discussed with you."
"event?"
Cui Wei and Liu Lin looked at each other, confused.
Huang Kai looked at Li Jun gloomily.
"Now that Yiling has been baptized by war, it has been destroyed and broken. The people's lives are poor and difficult to make a living. As the shepherd of Jingzhou, how can I sit idly by and ignore it? However, our Han Dynasty treasury is empty and there is no extra funds to spend on reconstruction. In Yiling, there is no money or food, which makes me, a Jingzhou shepherd, very embarrassed. God has mercy on me, Li Jun. I am in Yiling, and I have the help of my father-in-law of the Chen family. He has promised to lend me food to help the people."
"However, the strength of the Chen family is only a drop in the bucket for the reconstruction of Yiling. It cannot be done alone. Therefore, I asked the father-in-law to invite you to the house for this matter."
Li Jun also understood the ways of the world. As he spoke, he stood up, took the wine bottle from a maid, walked to the heads of the three major families, and filled the wine glasses on their table with wine.
"Li Zhoumu wants to borrow money and food from us?"
Cui Wei asked with surprise in his eyes.
"Yes, you are all from a distinguished family in Yiling and are part of Yiling City. You don't want to see Yiling City in dilapidated condition every day, right?" Li Jun admitted with a smile.
"I don't agree. The reconstruction of Yiling is a matter for your court. What does it have to do with us? It's really ridiculous."
"They also talked about borrowing money and food. They said it nicely, but it was clearly blackmail."
Huang Cheng's face was as dark as water, and he slammed the table suddenly, extremely angry.
Cui Wei stroked his long beard and fell into deep thought.
Next to him, Liu Lin picked up the wine glass, put it in his mouth, and tasted it slowly, seemingly paying no attention to everything.
"Clan Chief Huang, you don't have to be so anxious to refuse. I haven't finished speaking yet."
"This loan of money and food is not for nothing. After Yiling is rebuilt, I can give you double repayment."
As soon as Li Jun finished speaking, the heads of the three families looked shocked. Even Chen Wei looked at Li Jun in surprise.
Double return! This is not a small amount of money, it takes a lot of courage to have such courage.
"Is this true?" Cui Wei asked,
"Of course it is true. If you don't trust me, I can sign a loan agreement for you and stamp it with my official seal of Jingzhou Mu."
Li Jun smiled broadly and filled Liu Lin's glass of wine again, "Clan Leader Liu, what about you? What do you think?"
Liu Lin's deep eyes flashed with a strange light, and he smiled noncommittally, "Good wine!"
Old fox!
Li Jun felt that this Liu Lin was very scheming. It seemed that he was waiting for other people's decisions.
"Clan Leader Cui, you asked me if this is true. I guess you agree."
Li Jun focused his attention on Cui Wei. Compared with Liu Lin, this Cui Wei was actually quite easy to talk to.
Cui Wei looked around at the two people next to him and saw that neither of them spoke, so Cui Wei couldn't make up his mind.
He's not a fool either.
If the two of them disagree and you agree, wouldn't that mean you are going against them?
"You only have one chance to do such a beautiful thing. Clan leaders, please consider it carefully and don't miss it."
Seeing that none of the three people spoke, Li Jun had no choice but to seduce people.
Cui Wei frowned and thought, seeming to make a decision. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "My Cui family agreed."
"good!"
"Clan Chief Liu, what about you?"
Li Jun asked Liu Lin with joy in his patience,
Liu Lin's face was still deep. He put down the wine glass and looked at Chen Wei, "The wine is so delicious. I, Liu Lin, want to continue to have a few more drinks at the Chen family. I wonder what Patriarch Chen thinks?"
Chen Wei chuckled, this Liu Lin is really a scheming person, doesn't he just want to form an alliance with his Liu family?
"If Chief Liu likes to drink, just come to my house to drink. I, Chen Wei, am always waiting for you."
Chen Wei didn't want to form an alliance with the weakest Liu family, but for Li Jun, he risked his life.
"Okay, very good. Since Patriarch Chen is so kind, how can I, Liu Lin, say nothing. Li Zhoumu is Patriarch Chen's son-in-law. If he is in trouble now, I should try my best to help him."
Liu Lin smiled slightly,
With Liu Lin taking the lead and supporting him, Cui Wei, who was hesitant on the side, finally couldn't help it anymore. He slammed the table and said loudly, "Supporting Li Zhoumu to rebuild Yiling City naturally requires our Cui family. Li Zhoumu, what do you want? Just mention it. That is, as long as my Cui family has it, I will take it out."
"Refreshing!" Li Jun laughed loudly when he saw Cui Wei's boldness, "With the full support of Liu Cui and my father-in-law Chen's family, there is no need to worry about our Yiling city being unable to be rebuilt. When Yiling is rebuilt, I will definitely be there in Yiling." Lingcheng will build a monument of merit for you, for generations of Yiling descendants to admire, and to be remembered forever."
"Haha... That's great, thank you Li Zhoumu." Cui Wei was extremely happy, picked up the wine glass with both hands, and laughed, "Come on, Li Zhoumu, I'll give you a drink."
