He wants to go out and publicize Wangyue Tower more. He wants to let everyone in the village know how much money Li Qiao and Tao Zhu earn. He wants to lead the whole village to take revenge on the rich!
So, when Xiao Wu came to Sanliu Village for the second time, Tao Shu stopped him directly at the entrance of the village and asked him how much business Li Qiao and Wangyue Tower did.
Xiao Wu didn't answer, so he stood in front of the carriage and blocked Xiao Wu from leaving.
At this time, it was just dawn, and the diligent villagers were preparing to go to the fields. He caused trouble at the entrance of the village, attracting the attention of all the passing villagers.
Butcher Zheng's house is quite close to the entrance of the village, but Butcher Zheng is not at home and has gone to the town to sell pork.
Zheng Qianqian was at home. Seeing this, she ran to find Li Qiao and Tao Zhu.
Tao Shu, this bastard, deserves a beating!
Li Qiao and Tao Zhu were having breakfast. After hearing this, they put down their chopsticks and followed Zheng Qianqian to the entrance of the village.
Under the willow tree at the entrance of the village, there were thirty or forty people gathered around. Most of the villagers were busy working in the fields and did not stay much.
But there are also some people who don't go to the fields and stay to watch the fun.
Although Tao Shu was a bastard, the question Tao Shu asked at this time was exactly what they were curious about.
How much money can Li Qiao and Tao Zhu earn in a day now?
"Tao Shu, you want to be beaten again!"
Tao Zhu saw Tao Shu pulling Xiao Wu from a distance, and couldn't help but clenched his fists and quickened his pace.
When Tao Shu heard Tao Zhu's voice, he turned around and found that Tao Zhu was really here. Fear flashed across his face at first, but when he thought about the abject poverty at home, there was no wheat to cook.
He was angry again.
"You fight, you'd better beat me to death today, so that all the villages in the ten miles away know that you murdered your own brother for the sake of wealth!"
"Even though I'm rich, I don't know how to bring my brothers with me. The husband and wife are all the same, they are both heartless white-eyed wolves!"
Li Miao answered Tao Shu's words angrily.
The envy, jealousy and hatred in his heart were no less than those of Tao Shu.
His parents were originally partial to their younger son, Li Qiao, and caused him to suffer a lot. Now that Li Qiao is making money, Li Qiao has to compensate him!
Li Qiao didn't expect that Tao Shu and Li Shu would get together. He held Tao Zhu's hand to prevent Tao Zhu from rushing over and beating him up.
"If I don't beat him to death, I'll beat him half to death and make him lie on the bed unable to move. We'll pay for his medicine to prevent him from jumping around again."
Tao Zhu still wanted to rush over and beat someone up.
Li Qiao couldn't help laughing when he heard this. His bamboo brother was so cute.
However, his eyes circled around the villagers watching the excitement, and then he said with a smile: "He has no shame, we want shame. Forget it, let's not beat him today."
"Just let him go like this?" Tao Zhu didn't understand.
Zheng Qianqian didn't understand either.
"Someone will condemn them." Li Qiao led Tao Zhu and approached the willow tree.
He did not look at Tao Shu and Li Shu, but raised his voice and said: "Dear fellow villagers, Brother Zhu and I need to use a lot of dry firewood, flour, eggs, sesame and other things to make snacks every day. So, which fellow villagers? If you are willing to pull away Tao Shu and Li Shu to help Xiaowu brothers, then come to my house to sell dry firewood, flour, eggs, sesame seeds, etc., and the price per catty will be two cents higher than the market price."
"Also, come to my house to buy snacks and get a 20% discount on everything."
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to help Brother Xiaowu. You can still come to my house to sell dry wood, eggs, etc., but the price will be the same as the market price."
Regarding the current rumors, Li Qiao didn't think the villagers had any great malice towards him and Tao Zhu.
In this case, he is willing to let the villagers follow him to earn a little money.
Only tangible benefits can stop people from spreading rumors. In addition, he really needs to buy these things to make snacks, so he simply buys them from the villagers.
The villagers have made money from him, so if people like Tao Shu and Li Shu act like monsters again, he won't have to worry about it. Someone will stand up and fight against them.

The author has something to say:
I think Li Qiao's method is feasible. What do you guys think?
Chapter 31 Everyone defends him and follows Li Qiao to get meat.
After Li Qiao finished speaking, a thin woman who was taller than Tao Shu suddenly rushed towards Tao Shu.
She came to Tao Shu, grabbed Tao Shu's arm with her dry and fleshless hands and yanked away Tao Shu's claws holding Xiao Wu's clothes.
Then, she held Tao Shu's collar with both hands and carried Tao Shu to Li Qiao like a chicken.
She looked at Li Qiao timidly: "Does this count?"
This set of actions may sound slow, but in fact it only took a few seconds. Not only did everyone present not react, but even Tao Shu didn't react.
After waiting for the woman to speak, Tao Shu finally howled: "Wang Xiuying, let me go!"
He struggled hard, trying to pry Wang Xiuying's big hand away.
But Wang Xiuying's hands were like iron pliers, and he couldn't shake it even with all his strength.
"Hahaha, Tao Shu, Aunt Xiuying is as strong as a strong man, so don't waste your efforts."
Zheng Qianqian looked at Tao Shu's face that turned the color of pig liver and spoke with a smile.
"Aunt Xiuying, let's calculate it this way. From now on, when you come to my house to sell dry firewood, eggs, flour, sesame seeds and other things, each catty will be two cents higher than the market price."
"Besides, Brother Zhu and I want to hire day laborers to do some work like carrying water. If Aunt Xiuying is free, she can come to my house and the wages will be two cents higher than the market price."
Li Qiao looked at the anxiety on Wang Xiuying's face and said gently.
This Wang Xiuying is also famous in Sanliu Village because she is stronger than ordinary women and can compete with strong men with big shoulders and round waists.
Her husband fell ill a few years ago, and she sold her family's land until there were only two acres left, but she was unable to save her husband. After her husband died, she did not remarry. She took care of her parents-in-law and raised the children. Her life was miserable. Baba makes a living by working as a long-term laborer for the banker.
At this time, he made a good offer. If it were anyone else, considering the face and fellow villagers, he would hesitate and not stand up immediately.
But Wang Xiuying doesn't think so much, she just wants to make money.
So she rushed out and punished Tao Shu immediately.
Since she has fulfilled his request, he will naturally keep his promise.
"Okay." Wang Xiuying got a clear answer, a very shallow smile appeared on her face that always looked sad, and then she looked at Li Shu.
Li Shu didn't pull Xiao Wu, but he did stand in front of Xiao Wu, blocking Xiao Wu's way.
Seeing Wang Xiuying looking over at this time, he subconsciously took a step to the side and got out of the way.
This Wang Xiuying is very strong and only cares about money. He doesn't want to be carried by the collar like Tao Shu.
However, when he finally got out of the way, he was annoyed again.
It’s so embarrassing in front of everyone!
"Li Qiao, how dare you do this to me?!"
"Don't always look for problems in others. Why don't I do this to my eldest brother?"
Li Qiao said and smiled: "If your family comes to my house to sell dry firewood, flour and other things, Brother Zhu and I won't accept it."
"I won't accept anyone from Tao Shu or Liu Cui's family."
"you!"
When Li Miao heard this, he was furious.
How dare he be compared to top performers like Tao Shu and Liu Cui?
He spit hard on the ground: "You want my dry firewood flour and I won't give it to you!"
"That's just right. Neither of us looks down on the other. Don't ask me to help you make money in the future."
Li Miao: "..."
In a hurry, he actually said what he just said.
So angry.
He wants to make money, he wants to be prosperous!
However, with so many people watching, he is not a shameless scoundrel like Tao Shu, and he is Li Qiao's second brother!
Asking him to immediately change his tune and be soft on Li Qiao, he couldn't do it.
"Li Qiao, what Li Qiao said makes sense. You haven't done anything to help Li Qiao in these years. Look at what Li Liang did."
Someone stood up and spoke for Li Qiao.
This sentence opened the door, and others also opened their mouths to condemn Li Shu.
regret.
The villagers present all regretted it.
When Li Qiao made the request just now, they were concerned about their face——
Li Qiao is a junior, and they are older. Now that the junior has offered a few cents in remuneration, they just listen to the junior, which is so embarrassing.
But who knew that with just such a hesitation, the great opportunity would be snatched away by Wang Xiuying.
Each catty is two cents higher than the market price, which doesn't seem like much, but what if it's one hundred catties and one thousand catties.
That’s two hundred and two thousand coins!
Flour, eggs, and sesame seeds are all available. It is impossible for them to conjure some out of thin air and sell them to Li Qiao for a long time.
But there are countless dry firewood, and the one thing Sanliu Village is most indispensable for is dry firewood.
It's wheat harvest time now, and there's no extra time to collect dry firewood.
But if there is a slack season, such as winter, and there is no work in the fields, then collecting dry firewood is a long-term, stable way to make a lot of money without leaving the village!
How could such a good opportunity come about in normal times?
But if he hesitates like this now, this great opportunity will be gone.
So angry!
