"Let them willingly pay the money and food?"

Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, Li Guo and others looked at each other for a long time, and their eyes showed disbelief. What time has this been? Why do you still have such naive ideas? Are you serious?

I have to talk about Li Yan here. In fact, Li Yan is a bit scholarly and in modern terms, he is an idealist.

Historically, when he was at home, a drought occurred in Qi County and the people could not be happy. So he ran to the county government office and asked the county magistrate to open a warehouse to release grain. After being rejected, he took out all the more than 300 stone grains from his home to help the victims. He also made a song "Song of Advising Relief", and personally went to the homes of major landlords in the county to persuade them, asking them to send grain to provide disaster relief together.

As expected, he was rejected.

From a moral perspective, Li Yan's actions are naturally worthy of encouragement, but the problem is that even if he gave all the food in his family to the victims, it would be a drop in the bucket for such a large number of victims.

Moreover, he not only did this himself, but also fantasized about letting other wealthy gentry pay and feed like him. This alone is enough to show that his personality is still too naive and actually put his hopes on others. He must know that in later generations, even junior high school students knew that the essence of capitalists was profit-seeking, and it was a fantasy to let them take the initiative to give their things to others for free.

As a juren, Li Yan actually had such naive thoughts in his heart. It’s no wonder that Li Zicheng and others were shocked when they heard this idea.

Seeing Li Yan say this, even Li Guo couldn't help but say, "Military advisor, this idea is too absurd. Those landlords and gentry will not do such things that harm others and are not good for themselves. They wish they could even squeeze out oil from stones, so how could they take out their own money and grain to help the victims?"

“It’s true.”

Li Zicheng also shook his head.

"In the past, I was in my hometown, but I was forced to live by the local tyrants and evil gentry, so I had to go to Xuanzhen Prefecture to become a soldier, and finally walked up to this building. I know the virtues of those people best. I believe that they would rather feed the food to pigs than take it out to provide relief to the victims."

Li Yan didn't expect that he had just made a suggestion, and even Li Zicheng, who had always supported him the most, raised objections. Did he really say it wrong?

He thought for a while: "King of Chuang, no matter what, I still want to try it. If it doesn't work, it's not too late for us to think of other ways."

Looking at Li Yan with a persistent look on his face, Li Zicheng said helplessly: "Since the military advisor insists on this... OK, let's try it."

Li Yan didn't say much, and after getting permission, he hurried away with dozens of old camp troops.

Looking at Li Yan's hurried appearance, Liu Zongmin snorted softly: "King of Chuang, if our military advisor is at this level, I, Old Liu, can also be a military advisor."

"Zongmin, shut up!"

Li Zicheng's face immediately sank.

"Mr. Li always has many things, but he is still very loyal to our rebel army. No matter how you say it, they are a great juren. You, Liu Zongmin, have the ability to write a song to listen to it, and see if you can let heroes from all sides compete to vote? Can you train a group of mobs of rebels into a well-trained strong army?"

"Well..."

Liu Zongmin touched his big head, yelled twice and stopped talking.

My family knows his own affairs and lets him go to battle and kill the enemy and fight for his life, but if he does this kind of meticulous work, he will be able to do it...

Speaking of the fall of Anqing Mansion, it is fake that the wealthy gentry said it was not panic, but for a moment they could not think of any good way to deal with this sudden crisis. At this time, Li Yan came to the mansion of one of the most famous gentry in Anqing Mansion.

An old man in his fifties, wearing a green silk robe, stood at the door of the mansion, bowed to Li Yan with a smile on his face and said, "Young Master Li is here, and the humble house is so bright!"

Li Yan also quickly stood up and bowed, "I dare not, I was born suddenly and didn't send a prayer post in advance. It was too rude. It was just that the matter was too urgent. I hope Mr. Jiezhai could forgive my younger generation's Meng Lang's actions."

"Hahaha... I have heard a long time ago that Mr. Li is a famous talented man in Henan Province. He was a juren at a young age. I have wanted to make friends with him for a long time, but I have never been able to do it. It is really a great honor to see him today. Come on... I also invite Mr. Li to come and serve tea, Mr. Li."

"Please ask Mr. Jiezhai!"

In order to show his importance, Mr. Jiezhai brought Li Yan into the house to serve tea.

Walking around the inner courtyard, looking at the exquisite small bridges and flowing water along the way and the lifelike rockery, Li Yan kept nodding frequently.

"Mr. Jiezhai is so elegant. Such a good place is comparable to a fairyland on earth."

"Hahaha... Mr. Li has been awarded too much. I am old. I hope I can live in this ancestral house for two more years, which is a blessing."

When the two arrived at the inner hall, four beautiful maids immediately stepped forward to present fragrant tea to them.

After pouring tea for them, they did not walk away. Instead, they stood behind them and gently pounded the backs for the two of them. The other two squatted in front of the knees of the visitor and half-kneeled down to beat their legs. It can be seen that these maids have obviously been well trained, skillful, and very comfortable in their strength.

What's even worse is that even in the cold winter, the inner hall is covered with ground dragons, so the inner hall is as warm as spring. These four maids are dressed very thinly. Looking down from Li Yan's perspective, you can immediately see a white piece. Even though Li Yan is a wealthy family, he has never enjoyed such a luxurious life. For a moment, his eyes couldn't help but become a little confused.

His reaction was also seen by the Lord Jiezhai. A smile flashed in his eyes. After savoring the tea, he whispered: "Mr. Li is a hero who has a moment of talent and has a bright future. I am afraid he has suffered a lot of grievances these days. Now that he has come to Anqing Mansion, he is exhausted. It is better to settle down here and let me give all the friendship of the landlord.

These four maids were carefully trained by me by me, and are still virgins. Now they are just given to the young master to serve the young master's food and daily life. I wonder what the young master wants to do?”

"Well...ah...not appropriate..."

Li Yan was slightly stunned, then shook his head quickly, threw out the thoughts that shouldn't have in his mind, and then said seriously.

"Mr. Jie Zhai was grateful for the kindness of Mr. Jie Zhai, but Mr. Jie Zhai came here this time because he had something else to do with Mr. Jie Zhai. I hope Mr. Jie Zhai will forgive me."
