Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

When families received the invitation, they reacted differently. Some are angry, some are overwhelmed.

On the first day of the Zhaowu army's entry into Nanzheng, they forced them to donate a large amount of money and grain on the grounds of protecting the territory and the people. The families were forced to submit under the coercion of force.

Sending this invitation letter is not a good thing nine times out of ten, and it is estimated that it will ask for money and food.

In the evening, the heads of each family arrived at the Marshal's Mansion on time.

It didn't take long for Li Zhao and Yang Mingsheng to walk in.

Everyone stood up and saluted, and Li Zhao smiled and said, "I am also happy that all the heads of the family can come here." Sit down and have a casual chat with you today.

Seeing that no one moved the chopsticks, Li Zhao said: "If you are hungry, you don't need to be polite, you can enjoy the wine and food in front of you."

When everyone heard this, they picked up chopsticks and ate a few bites casually, but where was they in the mood to eat, they just wanted to know what Li Zhao was going to do as soon as possible.

"That's right, Ben Shuai has been counting the land and population of Hanzhong recently. I found that most of the land that was still being cultivated was in your hands. Don't you think that you have too much land in your hands?" Li Zhao quickly clarified his intentions.

When the people heard this, their hearts were shocked and angry. Li Zhao not only extorted their money and food, but also asked for their land, which was simply too much.

Yang Mingsheng ate and drank food calmly on the surface, but in fact he was happy in his heart, he had long been deeply disgusted with these powerful families.

Deng Taohan, the head of the Deng family, said angrily: "These are all passed down from generation to generation, and after the hard work of the Deng family for several generations, there is so much land.

"Yes, as far as I know, before Wang Jing served as the assassin of Hanzhong, you didn't have so much land.

Deng Taohan was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer.

"The former Lord Assassin, in order to exterminate the bandits in the mountains, we generously donated money and did our best to help. In order to thank us for waiting, these lands were given to me, and it was not by our coincidence that we took them by chance. Liu Ming, the head of the Liu family, said.

Li Zhao sneered in his heart, such shameless words, he even said it, "You don't have to worry, Ben Shuai won't ask for more."

"Dare to ask the marshal how much land he wants?"

"It's not much, you can give eighty percent of the land, and the remaining two percent will be left for you."

As soon as Li Zhao said this, the faces of everyone in the audience changed greatly. How greedy it is to ask for eighty percent of the land. Even if the city government is deep, it is angry and shows an angry expression.

"My family has a large population, and once we donate eighty percent of our land. The lives of the people will not be sustainable. I hope you will forgive me. Liu Mingdao.

"Ben Shuai has already thought it through for you. I heard that in recent years you have added a lot of slaves to your household. Eighty percent of the slaves can be freed, and the pressure on the family will be greatly reduced. Everyone

was furious, Li Zhao's appetite was so big, both land and population, this was to drive them to a dead end.

"Dashuai!" Li Liang, the head of the Li family, suddenly stood up.

"Why did the head of the Li family get up suddenly. Li Zhao shook his wine glass lightly and said lightly: "Could it be that I am dissatisfied with this handsome." The

two looked at each other and saw that Li Zhao's eyes were not good. Li Liang sat down slowly, bowed his head and said, "I don't have this intention, please forgive me."

"Who agrees with what Ben Shuai said just now, and who opposes it. Don't worry, you can speak your mind. "

This is the Marshal's Mansion, Li Zhao's territory, even if everyone has a ruthless itch in their hearts, they don't dare to mess around.

"Why don't you speak, don't you agree?" Li Zhao's tone gradually became cold, and he slammed the wine glass on the table.

"We agree to this. "If you don't agree to come down, you won't be able to get out of the Marshal's Mansion.

Li Zhao nodded with satisfaction, "The heads of the family are well aware of the righteousness, and the commander will thank you for the people of Hanzhong."

After the banquet, Yang Mingsheng said: "I see that they are unwilling

, I'm afraid they will .........." "I'm afraid they won't be so obedient, right, I have shown them a clear way, if they don't choose, don't blame Ben Shuai for the next thing."

Li Zhao didn't believe them from the bottom of his bones, and he had already asked Du An to send people to closely monitor several big families.

After all, in this era, land and population, no matter which family it is, are all about the rise and fall of the family. It's hard for them to give up.

"In addition to Nanzheng, Dashuai also needs to pay attention to Lu County. Yang Mingsheng said.

"Aren't the heroes of Luxian and Hanzhong all in Nanzheng?" Li Zhao said puzzled.

"Most of them are indeed in Nanzheng, but there are also some in Lu County. As for Liucheng, due to many wars, the strength of the heroes in the city has been greatly reduced, so there is nothing to fear. "

Ben Shuai knows. In

order to prevent accidents, Li Zhao urgently ordered Chen Lu to lead 2,000 troops to Luxian.

The next day, the heads of each family gathered to discuss what to do.

Deng Taohan said angrily: "It's so shameless, my Deng family just gave 300,000 taels of silver a few days ago, and now I want land and population."

Liu Ming's eyes were full of monstrous hatred, "In my opinion, this is a bottomless pit." No matter how much I wait, I can never fill it.

"If I knew this, I should have assisted the Qi army in attacking the city. Deng Taohan looked remorseful.

"It makes no sense to say this, Nan Zhengcheng is no longer Wang Jing's final say. If you don't give it, you may have a bloody disaster. Shen Yanchu, the head of the Shen family, said.

Liu Ming's emotions instantly lost control, he stood up and shouted: "How to give? How to give? He wants us to give eighty percent of the land, this is to force us to death!"

Everyone was furious, if Li Zhao only needed one or two percent of the land, give it. The problem is that Li Zhao actually wants eighty percent of the land and frees many slaves. Such a requirement is far beyond their psychological bottom line. As far as they are concerned, how can they continue to enjoy a life of luxury and indulgence without a large amount of land and population?

Liu Ming's eyes showed fierce intent, "In the current situation, the only way to do this is to give it a go. "

How do you fight? You have also seen the Zhaowu Army, and the soldiers in our hands are not the opponents of the Zhaowu Army at all. Shen Yanchu said helplessly.

"Of course I know that, but a head-on confrontation will definitely not work. "

Don't be sluggish, hurry up and say, what do you want to do?" Deng Taohan said impatiently.

"Tonight, gather all the family soldiers, quickly kill the Marshal's Mansion, and destroy Li Zhao. "

Isn't this a bit risky?" Shen Yanchu hesitated.

"During the day, the Marshal's Mansion is heavily guarded, and only at night, take advantage of its unpreparedness to fight quickly. This is my last chance to wait. As soon as Li Zhao died, the Zhaowu army would be in chaos. If you give in to him this time, life will be even more difficult in the future. Liu Mingdao.

Everyone thought for a long time, thinking that Li Zhao was pressing step by step, and finally made up their minds and agreed to Liu Ming's plan.

In the study room of the Marshal's Mansion, Du Yin hurriedly came to report, "Qi Qi Marshal, these people are really together." It seems that something is being plotted, and I have people continue to watch.

Li Zhao looked through the books in his hand and didn't raise his head, "It's enough, let's remove all the people, no need to monitor them anymore."

"If you leave it alone, is it inappropriate, in case it ...........

" Li Zhao was expressionless, and his tone was cold, "It's just a bunch of dead people, why waste time." "
