Chapter 835： Harmless little sheep

"The Number One Player of Time and Space (

"As for throttling... there are a lot of micro-manipulations in it, so I'll just show it to you."

Luo Jie took out the golden lord token from his arms and threw it to the "Taozi", instructing: "Go, take my token, and invite all the local squires and merchants with great reputation, just say I invited them to the dinner."

...

That night.

In the lord's mansion, there are lights and colorful lights, and chariots and horses fill the door.

Speaking of which, this is the first time the acting lord entertains guests since he took office, and it is a great honor for anyone who receives an invitation.

Before the time for the banquet, these gentry and tycoon merchants arrived by car with their families.

However, unlike participating in other dinners, these people had a tacit understanding of not carrying any female family members. The entire venue was completely absent from the past gorgeous ladies and celebrities, for fear that there would be some unnecessary scandals with the acting lord, which would annoy the Imperial Capital. A female general suffered a murderous disaster for the family.

People killed 400,000 different peoples in the north without blinking their eyes. How about dozens of injustices from the rich man's house in the countryside?

There is no such thing as a wife, a lonely survivor, or a boudoir lady. The banquet filled with middle-aged uncles is full of a bald and greasy atmosphere.

Luo Jie also didn't bother to greet these ghostly people. He had been hiding in the bedroom on the second floor and enjoying the serious massage of "Taeko". He gave all the rights to greet the guests to "Chelsea" who had been appointed as his personal secretary. .

Well, there is something to do with the secretary, no problem.

When the guests arrived, Luo Jie appeared in the banquet hall accompanied by "Taozi", smiling calmly accepting the tricky flattery shot like the tide.

"I said, don't you feel sick?" "Chelsea" leaned in and said in a low voice, a small face with delicate makeup full of disgust.

Suddenly she admired the leader a little, and she had to be so thick-skinned to be able to keep her complacency under such flattery.

"It's okay, but they are a bit superficial and haven't dug into my deep connotation."

Luo Jie shook his head and sighed, quite a bit regretful about where to find a friend.

"Chelsea": "..."

Why shouldn't I give you this chance to pretend to beep...

Happiness——!

A crisp high-five came from Luo Jie's men, and the guests in the hall realized that the lord was about to speak, and hurriedly stopped to listen.

"Thank you all for coming to my dinner party in your busy schedule. I don’t like to talk nonsense, so let’s get started. I plan to start a small business of my own, but I think the shipbuilding cycle is too long, so I plan to I want to buy a few boats, fishing and merchant ships."

The squires looked at each other, wondering what medicine was sold in the gourd of the acting lord.

Seeing that no one answered for a long time, a respected village elder hurriedly stood up to ease the atmosphere, and said with a smile: "It is naturally not a problem to give the lord a few boats, but life at sea is not as beautiful as expected, whether it is a typhoon, pirates, Or a dangerous species, if one accidentally destroys a ship and kills the blood, there is no return... Your lord is in charge of the taxation of our entire Taidong Province. That is the same wealth as the Jinshan Yinhai. Why bother to suffer this pain yourself?"

Seeing that there are villagers taking the lead, other people hurriedly agreed, describing the risks of going overseas as the Chinese stock market.

Very good, as expected, everyone here is talented, and they speak nicely. In summary, it is actually just one sentence-it is impossible to think of going to sea, and it is impossible in this life.

Luo Jie smiled and watched these people utter bitterness in front of him. After he finished speaking, he continued: "I want to buy all the large and medium-sized fishing boats in your hands. I want ten merchant ships first, and use the tax revenue of the territory as collateral. The installment payment will be paid off in ten years... Well, that's it, you can now study how the merchant ships are allocated."

The old man almost choked to death by Luo Jie's insatiable attitude. He seemed to want to argue, but suddenly remembered the terrible background of the acting lord, he sullenly became a turtle.

Anyway, the main business of his family is on the land, so it is not guilty to fight with the acting lord for the benefit of others.

But there is always no shortage of people who can't see the situation.

A handsome-looking young man stood up from the crowd and asked unceremoniously in a low voice: "Lord Acting Lord, you were anxious to grab everyone's jobs when you first arrived here, don't you think this is not appropriate? ?"

"Huh? Who are you?"

Luo Jie really didn't deliberately ridicule, he really couldn't remember these mass-faced NPCs with no characteristics.

Fortunately, the capable secretary "Chelsea" reminded him in a low voice beside him: "This is the eldest son of the Bochat family. His father was originally the largest fisherman in the local area. He later used bribes to bribe the former prefect to get ashore. Now he is a local. The largest fish merchant. Most of the large fishing boats in Haidong City belong to Bochat's family. It is rumored that his family also controls the entire fish market in Haiqing City through the following small fishermen. UU看书"

Luo Jie was stunned. No wonder this young master hurriedly jumped out, it turned out that he had robbed his job.

When everyone present was sweating for this handsome young man, they suddenly found that the acting lord was not angry, but patted the other person on the shoulder kindly.

"You are right, maybe I acted too hastily... How many people are there in your family? Are they all at home recently?"

The handsome young man was a little confused by Luo Jie's front and back contrast, and subconsciously replied: "Thirty-three, all are..."

"Very well, the family has to be neat and tidy... Okay, don't pay attention to my nonsense just now, continue to enjoy the good wine and food."

As he turned around, the smile on Luo Jie's face instantly became extremely cold.

"Taeko, tell Melard, Bochart's house will not stay tonight."

...

The next day, a major event occurred in Haiqing City.

The Bochat family, the largest fisherman in the city, died unexpectedly at home, and none of the 33 direct members were spared.

Immediately afterwards, the acting lord seized all the properties of the Bochart family on the charge of "associating with the rebels." The once-in-the-moment luxury merchant family collapsed overnight.

Although this incident ended in a vendetta among the rebel factions, none of the people who attended the banquet last night were fools. Obviously this was the work of the acting lord.

Recalling the phrase "a family is to be neat and tidy", everyone who saw this scene shuddered instantly.

They suddenly realized that they had made a great mistake-how could the man whom the "Esdes" general who was known for his cruel and bloodthirsty admired, be a harmless little sheep?
