Chapter 155 Collecting Protection Fees
Chapter 155: Collecting protection fees
The autumn grain has been reduced. Although it still cannot fundamentally solve the food problem of so many people, it can at least last longer. The only things that are still growing in the field are sweet potatoes and big fool radishes. These two items are actually not considered food, but they can also fill their stomachs, right? When the ground is frozen bells cracked, they can also survive for a while after digging them out of the soil. They are more careful and save money. After all, they can support them until the beginning of the New Year.
As for the most difficult spring in the year, how to deal with the period when the spring is in trouble after the spring is a question that Li Si should consider.
After several major incidents, the resistance view advocated by Li Si was enhanced to spread, and this terrorist attack had a starting point.
Within the Dead Army, the training of the new recruits is in full swing.
Luo You asked one after another.
"One, one child, is still waiting outside the door."
Cao Wenfang was stunned and then laughed: "I'm so brave. Please invite the little hero to come in. I'll see what kind of person has appeared on Dao'er over the years. Even our Cao family dares to come here, so please."
A half-aged child, who was about thirteen years old, walked through several floors of courtyards under the guidance of several strong work plans and came straight to Cao Wenfang.
Cao Wenfang didn't stand up and bowed slightly, saying, "Which road is the little hero? Which leader is he with?"
Zhennan looked at the old man in front of him and stared at him like a wolf: "Are you Cao Wenfang?"
Over the years, there are really few people who dare to call him this name.
Although everyone was not afraid of this child, they had already made complete preparations. There were short guns hidden in their robes. Whenever something was wrong, they could pull them out with their hands...
"The little old man is Cao Wenfang. I dare to ask about the little hero..." Cao Wenfang is also an experienced figure, and he is polite in his words.
"Don't ask, I don't know what you are talking about..."
"Haha, since the little hero doesn't want to say it, I won't ask more about that old man." Cao Wenfang reached out to pass the chimney, slowly prepared it, and then guru Guru took a few more mouthfuls, feeling his heart calmed down and then spoke: "The incompetent children and grandchildren in my family are..."
"It's in our hands, but you have to take the money to redeem it." Zhennan's eyes were like an awl: "Or..."
"Haha, little hero, don't tell me, otherwise I'll see more people like you." Cao Wenfang said with a smile: "Little hero, if you really lack money, it's not a big deal. Even if you come to my Caojiawan and eat and keep it well, it's all my fault. If you want to say whether you can redeem it or not, it's just a waste of harmony. We are businessmen, and the most important thing is kindness. I don't know what price the little hero is going to pay..."
"One hundred thousand, I want one hundred thousand taels."
"Haha, the little hero is very angry..."
Zhennan didn't care what the old man was saying at all, and continued: "From the future, I will have 100,000 taels every year. You will send them to me to ensure your safety for a year..."
The faces of the people in the room changed.
To be honest, 100,000 taels are not a huge number for the Cao family. But this costs 100,000 taels every year, and it means that they have to be sent there in person. This is equivalent to treating the Cao family as a fat pig and cutting off a piece of meat every year. If you want to recognize this, the Cao family will be thrown away from home and outside the gates in the future...
The Cao family is not a soft persimmon, so they can't help but squeeze it like this. Everyone was looking at Cao Wenfang, clearly asking whether to do it.
Cao Wenfang saw this little child opening his mouth so much, and seemed not angry at all. He asked with a very kind look: "100,000 yuan a year? Hehe, it seems that the little hero has just debuted, right? If you don't have a bright outfit, you want to knock me like this?"
Zhen'an reached out and unbuttoned the black shirt outside, revealing the wide and unremarkable yellow clothes inside. A red line was brightly pierced in the eyes, especially the red cloth on his arms, which made people dare not look directly at him: "You old man know this, do you?"
Cao Wenfang, who was calm and calm, was suddenly choked by Shuiyan, and tears burst out from his nose and eyes, and he started coughing violently.
The strong men next to them also changed their colors, as if they were seeing ghosts in the sun.
"One hundred thousand a year, until the Tartars come out of seclusion." Zhennan said viciously: "Or it would be a traitor. My general said that traitors will be punished."
The calmness seemed to slip away all of a sudden. The old master of the Cao family said slowly: "You... are here anyway. I thought you would come a long time ago, hey... but my Cao family did not..."
"So as long as you leave some money, not your life. The Fan family is richer than you, but we don't want his family's money..."
