Thief Emperor

Chapter 6 The government troops are coming!

No matter which group you are in, if you want to hold power, you must control two things.

The purse and the gun.

Li Yun himself is the military leader of Cangshan Village. In addition, he is a generous person, and the two generations of Li family leaders have accumulated a lot of prestige, so he does not need to worry too much about military force.

So what you need to hold on to now is your wallet.

With a wallet of money, you can further control personnel power, and then firmly control the entire Cangshan Village in your hands.

As a village that has been around for twenty years, Cangshan Dazhai is actually not poor.

Apart from anything else, there is a pit under the bed of Mr. Li, the Great Leader, which is the wealth accumulated by his cheap father for twenty years.

Of course, that belongs to the slush fund.

The entire Dazhai warehouse was originally controlled by the second in command Yuan Zhengming. Now Li Yun wants to take the warehouse into his own hands.

After a small meeting, none of the remaining six leaders dared to oppose Li Yun. Even the second in command did not say a word.

After Li Yun finished the meeting, he went straight to the warehouse in Dazhai.

The second in command hesitated for a moment and followed him into the warehouse.

The warehouse is an independent courtyard, and there are usually people guarding it. However, when Li Yun arrived, Lao Ba and Lao Jiu had already brought people here.

The eighth one is Zhang Hu, and the ninth one is Liu Bo.

Like Li Yun, they are both second-generation villagers.

A village of twenty years is enough time for the second generation of these villagers to grow up. These two grew up with Li Yun. After Li Yun became the village chief, he found ways to put them on the throne.

Although the original leader Li may not have thought too much about it, this approach is actually extremely reasonable.

After all, a new leader appoints new subjects.

When Li Yun arrived, Zhang Hu had already counted the things. He walked to Li Yun's side in a casual manner.

"Village leader, Lao Jiu and I have checked it over. We still have one or two thousand kilograms of grain, which is enough to last for a few months. We also have a lot of other silver and money..."

As he said this, he scratched his head: “I’m not very good at counting, Lao Jiu is still counting.”

Li Yun patted him on the shoulder, looked at the grain piled up in the warehouse, and turned to look at the second in command Yuan Zhengming.

"Uncle, is there a little less food?"

Yuan Zhengming touched his big belly and said with a smile: "Village leader, I was told by the old village leader that I should be in charge of this warehouse. For 20 years, I have never let the brothers in the village go hungry."

"I didn't say you let the brothers starve."

Li Yun turned around and gave this chubby "Second Uncle" a meaningful look, then glanced at the warehouse again and said lightly: "Forget it, the past..."

"No blame."

Li Yun said, "Let's forget about the past. From now on, I will be in charge of this warehouse. Second uncle can take a break."

The second in command first thought that his village chief's words were a little strange, but he didn't say much. He just looked at Zhang Hu and Liu Bo with a smile.

"Village leader, Eighth and Ninth Brothers...can we do it?"

"If they can't succeed, don't they still have me?"

Village Chief Li looked at him and said, "I'm not dead yet."

In order to quickly gain control of all power in the village, when hiring people, one should not look at their abilities but their loyalty.

Comparatively speaking, Yuan Zhengming is definitely more suitable to do this, but now Li Yun must drive this person who once threatened his position out of the core power area.

This sounds a little ridiculous.

It's just a village of more than 30 people, there is no power center there.

But in fact, all the collectives and even the government offices used the same logic. Before Mr. Li became seriously ill and was bedridden in his previous life, he was at least a leader of some importance, and he knew these tricks best.

These bandits can't beat him.

"Zhaizhu!"

The ninth Liu Bo finally finished counting the things. He trotted over to Li Yun and said with his head down, "Chief, in addition to the two thousand kilograms of grain, there are almost two hundred strings of money, more than ten taels of gold, and three hundred taels of silver."

Li Yun touched his chin.

If these things were at the foot of the mountain, they would be considered the property of a medium to large landowner.

But for a village of more than 30 people, it is not a lot.

Li Yun looked at the second in command again and nodded, saying, "Old Nine, you will live in the warehouse from today on. All the food in the village will come from you."

“Can you keep accounts?”

Liu Bo scratched his head and looked at Li Yun: "Village leader... still need to keep accounts?"

Li Yun frowned: "Is there a problem?"

“I can recognize some words…”

He looked at Li Yun with a strange look: "But you seem to be illiterate..."

Village Chief Li rolled his eyes.

“I can read now.”

After saying that, he turned and walked out.

Liu Bo and Zhang Hu were standing in the warehouse. They looked at each other. Zhang Hu lowered his voice and said, "Are the women in the city so weird? It's only been a few days, and my second brother... can actually read?" Liu Bo, who was fair-skinned, glared at Zhang Hu unhappily.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

He was relatively smarter, and he stroked his chin and said, "I guess the village chief's wife can read, so I asked her to help me."

The second in command, Yuan Zhengming, stared at Li Yun's departing back thoughtfully. After a while, he turned back to look at the eighth and ninth brothers and said slowly, "Take good care of it. This is the result of my twenty years of hard work."

Both of them nodded quickly.

"Yes, Uncle."

………………

"Miss Xue."

Li Yun moved a small stool and sat opposite Miss Xue. He coughed and said, "Can you tell me about the current court?"

Xue Yun'er hadn't eaten much all day. She looked at the food in front of her and frowned: "What do you mean?"

"that is…"

Li Yun sorted out his words and asked, "What is the country's name now, who is the emperor, and what is his surname..."

Xue Yun'er blinked and looked at Li Yun with a puzzled look on her face.

Bandits...

Is it so closed?
However, after witnessing the bravery of the great leader Li, she did not dare to say it directly. After thinking about it, she began to answer Li Yun's questions directly.

"The name of our dynasty is Zhou..."

In this way, Li Yun asked and Xue Yun'er talked. After about an incense stick of time, Li Yun finally had a better understanding of this strange world.

however…

The more you understand, the more unfamiliar it becomes.

After asking almost all the questions, Li Yun stood up and walked outside, his eyes were already very confused.

"In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the royal family's surname is not Yuwen, nor is it Guo, but Wu..."

"But it's not the Zhou of Wu Zhao..."

He looked up at the sky and murmured, "It's still more than two hundred years..."

"It's extremely weird."

Miss Xue appeared behind him at some point, and she also said in confusion: "Hey."

"What do you mean by the female emperor you mentioned just now?"

She was a little curious: "Can a woman be an emperor?"

Village Chief Li took a deep breath, looked back at her, and said with a smile, "I was just talking nonsense."

"Also, my name isn't Hey, my last name is Li."

"Li Yun."

It was not until this time that Xue Yun'er found out the name of the village chief who had kidnapped her.

She leaned against the door frame and looked at Li Yun: "Didn't you say you would let me go down the mountain? When will you let me go back?"

"If you want to leave, you can leave now. I'll have someone take you to the official road."

"it is good."

Xue Yuner gritted her teeth and said, "Send me down the mountain tomorrow."

No matter what, it's better to go down the mountain than to be a savage in the mountain.

Even if I lose my reputation, at least life will be better.

Li Yun nodded and was about to agree when he suddenly heard the sound of an arrow exploding in the air.

He frowned and strode out.

Not far away, the bald man ran over hurriedly, and after he walked in front of Li Yun, he was still gasping for breath.

"Zhaizhu!"

He was breathing rapidly and finally calmed down.

"The brother on guard said... The brother on guard said..."

"The officers and soldiers are coming!"

Li Dazhaizhu frowned and asked, "How many people?"

"There are at least a hundred people!"

The bald man whispered, "They are all wearing armor!"

"Put on armor..."

Li Yun said meaningfully.

"Ah..."
