In China, there is an old saying: People are afraid of being famous, but pigs are afraid of being strong.
Liu Yi had just finished announcing his name, and the elder of the Huang family, who was still lying on the ground, suddenly let out a surprised sound and stared at Liu Yi as if he was a god of plague. Then, the old housekeeper did not care about propriety, justice and shame. With a swish, he jumped up on the spot and ran towards the Huang Mansion, looking as embarrassed as possible.
Liu Yi's expression remained unchanged. He looked straight ahead, looking calm and calm. His extremely indifferent expression made people shudder. It seemed that in his eyes, the elders of the Huang family were dispensable. Just ticks.
Of course, these so-called appearances were all deliberately put on by Liu Yi. He knew that first impressions were extremely important when interacting with others. He just came to visit and saw that the elder of the Huang family was so arrogant, so he guessed that Huang Shi was also a rebellious person. .
To deal with a rebellious person, one must either humble oneself to the earth or be as rebellious as heaven.
Indifference is the highest level of unruliness in the world.
Facts have proved that Liu Yi's actions and performance were absolutely right.
Huang Zhi was indeed an extremely unruly person. He even looked down upon the Jiang clan that dominated Quzhou. But when he saw Liu Yi being so indifferent, he suddenly felt an inexplicable fear in his heart and took a deep breath. He sighed inwardly: Why, when I met this kid for the first time, I offended such a lonely evil star with a backstage and background!
"Haha! It turns out to be General Hirata. I'm too blind to recognize Mount Tai. I'm disrespectful! I'm disrespectful!" Huang Zhu made an understatement and brushed off what happened just now. Then, he stood sideways, stretched out one hand to the side, and leaned over slightly. , said respectfully, "A few distinguished guests, it's noisy outside the house, please come in quickly, please come in quickly!"
Liu Yi remained motionless and looked directly at Huang Zhi. Huang Zhi stood there bent over, frozen, his eyes full of arrogance, and smiled at Liu Yi.
The picture that shouldn't be static became static for a while.
Liu Yi's eyes were ethereal, like the calm sea, making it impossible to see the depth within them. Huang Zhu's eyes were like crescent moons, seemingly kind but full of sharp edges. The two of them inadvertently started a confrontation with each other's eyes.
The two swords entered the sea and disappeared into the dust and smoke. In the end, Huang Zhu failed to glare at Liu Yi and was defeated.
Huang Zhu's eyes dodge, and finally he smiles awkwardly, bends his back, and says as flatteringly as possible, "General, please!"
Seeing Huang Zhi's submission, Liu Yi smiled lightly and agreed, but without any humility, he took the lead and walked into the Huang Mansion. Li Erniu, who was in a rage, did not care about the order of hierarchy and wanted to follow Liu Yi into the manor.
Seeing this, Guo Yizhi hurriedly stepped forward to hold Li Erniu, then smiled at Huang Zhu and said, "Mr. Huang, please come first!"
Huang Zhu returned the smile, rolled up his sleeves and went in, his heart filled with displeasure.
Huang Zhi, a big boss who dominates the business world and has everything he wants, will be displeased if his prestige is ruined by a young boy.
Everyone came to the middle hall and sat down in their seats. Liu Yi was the first to speak. When he saw him cupping his hands and smiling, he said, "Old Master Huang, I took the liberty of visiting you today. I was in such a hurry that I didn't have time to report anything. If there is anything inappropriate, please let me know." Mr. Huang, please don’t worry about it.”
When speaking, Liu Yi's eyes were full of sincerity.
After all, you can't beat someone to death, you have to learn to give a sweet date with a slap!
"Haha, the general is serious! These are all trivial matters, no matter what. Young people are full of blood and will naturally be impulsive when encountering problems. Besides, you are the general, you are God, and I am just a common man, a grass, a withered grass. , how dare you blame God? "
Huang Zhi was so angry that he put all the blame on Liu Yi's side.
Liu Yi was not surprised by this kind of eloquence, and didn't think much about it. But when he picked up the tea cup and saw the rough porcelain cup in his hand, he felt a sense of contempt in his heart: The Huang family is extremely rich, but they use such simple things every day. tea set? Hum hum, this is not frugal housekeeping, this is trying to hide it!
Then, Liu Yi looked at Huang Zhi with big sharp eyes, and said softly, "The Huang family's daily life is simple, and it is worth learning from us!"
Huang Zhi and Liu Yi looked at each other, showing no signs of losing their momentum, and said with a smile, "With a fortune starting from just one penny, you have to plan your life carefully to be prosperous."
! Moreover, good steel should be used for the edge of the knife, and good money should be used for the strength. Tea sets, furniture, etc., these are all external things, so naturally save what you can and use them when you can. After all, the money from my Huang family didn’t come from the strong wind, hehe! "
Huang Zhi was not a good man and a believer. Although he did not support his family or own private land, he relied on shrewd management and plundered in Fengyi County and even Huaxing County, causing countless families to lose their property and eventually their families were ruined.
It can be said that every penny in his pocket is made of the blood and sweat of the people.
After hearing this, Liu Yi played with the tea cup in his hand and remained silent.
Guo Yizhi, who has been suffering from the warmth and coldness of the world since he was a child, was sarcastic and said, "Haha! So, the Huang family master has all his thoughts on the common people?"
Huang Zhi had an innocent look on his face and immediately retorted, saying innocently, "Oh my god. Why did this little brother say this? I, the Huang family, are selfless soldiers and have no official titles. How can I get the ability to plot against the people?"
"Everything in the world is ruined by selfishness and desire; people in the world are often ruined by greed and Yin. Don't you understand this truth, Mr. Huang?" Guo Yizhi breathed out from his nose, snorted coldly, and continued, "If The head of the Huang family usually exploits the people, so isn't he afraid of having a child without a son?"
Huang Zhi had a good temper, but he was not angry when he heard such a vicious curse from Guo Yizhi. He pointed at Guo Yizhi, turned to a servant and smiled and praised, "Look! Look! The young man next to General Liu, As expected, everyone is a winner, it’s amazing!”
Guo Yizhi was about to continue stimulating with words, but Liu Yi gently stretched out his hand to stop him.
"But, if my friend said this to me, it would be a bit heartbreaking."
When Huang Zhi saw this, he looked aggrieved and said, "If you don't have selfish desires, why is there the word 'family world'? Without greed, how can you eat iron turtles? Besides, my Huang family makes money based on their own abilities, not just because they make a lot of money." If you get too old, you’ll be jealous, right?”
Someone once said: Never say bad things about feces in front of flies; and never say bad things about bones in front of dogs. Because if what you say goes against their views, they will immediately condemn you or even attack you.
To Huang Zhi, Guo Yizhi was the person who said, "The bones are bad. Such a person will definitely be suppressed by Huang Zhi in every possible way."
"On this road, the people have complained against you Huang Shi. If you hadn't forcibly tore up the contract and asked the people to return the rent, causing trouble in the whole county, why would we be here? Are you still here praising yourself so brazenly?" Guo Yi Zhi finally opened his mouth and started to talk about the topic, saying, "The contract is 10%, regardless of profit or loss, all must be fulfilled to the end. You are a good guy. Seeing that the transaction is losing money, you actually plan to default on it! Where are the laws of my Han Dynasty?"
Li Erniu fanned the flames, "Haha! People who don't obey the law will be punished."
At this moment, Huang Zhu suddenly realized that he already knew the purpose of Liu Yi's group.
It seems that this boy is here to punish the enemy!
Huang Shi fell into deep thought: In the past two years, Liu Yi has been so popular that no one can surpass him. He was ordered to flatten the land in the five counties. Now, within the five counties, only the Xuanhuai Zhao family's land is left. Even the Fanggu Zhao family obediently handed over the fiefdom left by their ancestors. It is obvious that there must be a big tree behind this boy.
This kind of person is definitely not someone I can mess with, and I definitely don't dare to mess with him.
After thinking about it, Huang Zhu planned to strike first.
"Hmph! When I mention this, I get very angry."
Huang Zhu suddenly showed a fierce look on his face and found another way, saying, "Young man, do you really think that the people in the fields are innocent? When I signed the contract, I thought the same thing as my little friend, so I didn't inspect the land myself. As a result, , Look, look, these untouchables actually rented to me a bunch of crooked melons, cracked dates, and hard-to-harvest land. This kind of land where even withered grass can't grow, actually licked their faces and sub-leased it to me. I want to take advantage of a wealthy land, how can I not break the contract?"
Liu Yi, who had been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, was suddenly shocked and couldn't help but praise: Huang Shi is so old, he can knock him down with one move.
These words also made Guo Yizhi speechless and shut up completely.
Seeing Guo Yizhi being frustrated, Huang Zhu felt secretly happy.
Although Liu Yi was nervous in his heart, he still looked casual on the outside.
Because just now, he suddenly figured out something: for him, this bad debt cannot be solved clearly, so it doesn't seem to be that important whether the people are cruel or the Huang family is bullying.
The important thing is that Liu Yi saw the spark of the rejuvenation of the aristocratic clan from the behavior of the Huang family and the people who broke the contract. If the aristocratic clan pretended to obey Pingtian and secretly rented land at a low price, even though the income would be very small compared to before, it would still be the same. With a large amount of wealth, and having private food through farming, they can continue to gather private soldiers and become rampant again.
A single spark can start a prairie fire. Liu Yi must suppress this evil fire before it ignites.
"Jingze, Mr. Huang, the master of the family, has worked hard to achieve great results. How dare you and me, the younger ones, be so disrespectful? You don't understand the rules! Haha."
After Liu Yi laughed and scolded Guo Yizhi, he stood up and raised his hands with enthusiasm, saying, "It must be the unruly people who disturbed my thoughts and even wronged the old Patriarch Huang. I, this junior, would like to say no! Haha."
Liu Yi gave Huang Zhu a lot of face. Huang Zhu borrowed the donkey down the slope and pushed his hands and said, "General Liu understands the righteousness of justice. Come and take a seat quickly. I have already ordered the cook to light a fire. After a while, I will help General Liu wash away the dust. General Liu today It is considered an auspicious occasion for a beautiful woman. I ordered people to go to the beach to purchase a batch of iron turtles a few days ago. They just arrived today. It is really good to make a sauce of iron turtles and let General Liu taste the deliciousness of this fish."
"Thank you, Mr. Huang, for your kindness. Unfortunately, I have to sit down for a while and leave because of my official duties. I won't eat this meal!" Liu Yi smiled innocently, stretched out his hand and pinched the thin sleeves that were left, "If Huang Old Fuyu, please give me some help. Look, my clothes are about to be worn out!"
Phew, the little girl grinned and was about to laugh at Liu Yi's pretending to be poor, but when she saw Liu Yi's somewhat complaining eyes, she immediately held it back.
