Chapter 70: Someone robs of reputation

"Zhengzhi, I tell you that with my years of experience in gaining reputation, it is wrong for you to give clothes to the affected people directly."

In the study, Yi Fan preached to Li Ke in the tone of an expert and senior.

Li Ke bowed solemnly: "Please give advice to you."

Yi Fan took a leisurely sip of water and said, "Look, you gave them those clothes. Some of them have even collapsed their houses. What can I do if there are those thin clothes you give me? The most important thing is to solve the livelihood problems of these people and let them spend this winter safely."

Li Ke suddenly realized: "Please teach me how to act?"

Yi Fan said with a successful trick: "Look, isn't it short of people to make cotton clothes and pants recently?

We brought these people who were suffering from snow to workshops that made cotton coats and pants to help us work, we took care of their food and accommodation, and gave them wages. In the beginning of spring, they could survive even if they had these wages. Wouldn’t this kill two birds with one stone?”

Li Ke was a little embarrassed: "Will we take advantage of others' danger when we do this?"

Yi Fan was immediately reluctant and said unhappy: "How come this is taking advantage of others' danger? We not only care about food and accommodation, but also pay for wages. How can there be anything better in the world than this?"

Li Ke nodded reluctantly and said, "Then follow the safe method."

………………………………………

At the gate of the imperial city, a temporary shed was built, and there was a long line in front of the shed.

These people in line were the people who were suffering from snow disaster in Chang'an City, who came to collect clothes and a small amount of rice and grain.

Li Ke wore a white bear fur coat and personally distributed things to the people, and told them that they could work in his workshop.

Yi Fan was wearing an ordinary black bear fur coat and looked at him boredly. Yi Fan wanted to come forward to help, but Li Ke refused, saying that he should not compete with him for reputation.

In the end, Li Ke didn't hold on for long, so he asked his subordinates to take charge of the business and distribute things for him.

Bao Qin, among the twin maids, hurriedly handed Li Ke a hot tea bowl. Li Ke took it, but he didn't drink it, so he covered his hands to keep warm.

Yi Fan put his hands in his cuffs, touched Li Ke with his elbow, and said, "Why did your uncle have to put the land of charity at the gate of this imperial city?"

Li Ke did not answer Yi Fan in a positive way, but looked around and saw that there was no outsider. Then he sighed and said, "Hey, everyone thinks that the royal family is good, but they don't know that it is the most ruthless imperial family.

Let me take what happened today. If I don’t choose the location for this, but take all the credit on myself, it will cause me some unnecessary trouble."

Yi Fan asked in confusion: "This alms are a good thing, right? How can this be troublesome?"

"Ping An, you are not in the imperial family, and you don't understand the reason, and it's reasonable."

Li Ke pointed his finger behind the palace gate and asked Yi Fan: "Can you know who lives in this imperial city?"

Yi Fan glanced at Li Ke and said impatiently: "You are talking nonsense without asking, who else can you live in this palace without the emperor?"

Li Ke also quickly looked around again, and said to Yi Fan with a wry smile: "Ping'an, don't call my father like this, be careful to bring disaster. If someone is interested in hearing this, it will be bad for you to be disrespectful."

Yi Fan also imitated Li Ke with lingering fear, looked around, and felt relieved when he saw that there was nothing else.

Li Ke continued the previous topic and said: "Since Ping An knows, my father lives inside.

Then I will give alms here and tell these people that I am the third son of my father, "Wu Wang Ke", and these people will thank my father first, and then thank me second.

In this way, no one will say that I have won people's hearts and have ill-gotten plans."

Yi Fan was almost confused by Li Ke and said, "Your royal family is really in trouble."

There will never be only one smart person in this world. Soon, two more sheds outside the palace gate.

Crown Prince Li Chengqian and King Li Tai of Wei were in the same shed to give alms to the people.

Not long after, the originally long team of Yi Fan and his team was immediately left with only some old, weak, sick and disabled, because the things distributed by the prince and the King of Wei were better.

The clothes they distributed were all winter clothes they wore during the winter, and the rice and grain were a little more than Li Ke gave.

Yi Fan finally met Li Chengqian and Li Tai, and thought to himself: "This is the two people he and Li Ke are going to deal with."

Judging from his appearance, Li Chengqian is also a polite handsome guy, but he is still a little worse than Li Ke. Yi Fan knew that Li Chengqian actually likes men, but he just didn't know if the person named "Shexing" appeared now.

Li Tai is a fat man of about 200 pounds. Yi Fan saw that he had difficulty walking, just like a meat mountain. Yi Fan inexplicably remembered the profession of sumo wrestling. Yi Fan thought Li Tai was very suitable for this profession.

At this time, Li Ke saw that there were fewer and fewer people on his side, so he became a little anxious. He was busy in the middle of winter, and he might have made wedding dresses for others.

Yi Fan, who was still observing Li Tai, said, "Ping An, what should we do now? Why don't I ask someone to take those cotton coats and pants over?"

Yi Fan shook his head quickly and said, "No."

Li Ke was a little unhappy when he heard this and said seriously: "Is Ping'an unable to bear the money?"

Yi Fan naturally would not admit that it was because he had worked hard and had not used the cotton he got back yet. If this was given to others, he felt unbalanced.

Yi Fan's eyes rolled and said, "Brother Zhengzhi, I ask you, how many cotton coats and pants have you made now? Is it enough for these people to share?"

Li Ke replied with little confidence: "There are less than 100 sets of cotton coats and trousers at present, so naturally there is not enough to be divided."

"Since there is not enough division, what's the use of it?"

Li Ke couldn't give up and said, "It's better than nothing, right? You can't watch it, they snatch our limelight."

Yi Fan stretched out his index finger and shook in front of Li Ke: "No, if you use those cotton coats and trousers, it will only be worse if you use them, and it will be bad for you."

Li Ke was confused: "What's the reason?"

Yi Fan took back his index finger, put it back into his warm cuffs, and said, "Think about it, those less than a hundred sets of cotton clothes and pants can get less than a hundred people.

What will the people who have not received cotton clothes and pants think of you, and what will they say about you? Don’t worry about being weak but not being equal. Is this ideal that the righteous brother must know better than me?"

Li Ke solemnly bowed to Yi Fan: "Thank you for your reminder, I am confused by the authorities."

Yi Fan waved his hand indifferently, but he felt relieved: "I finally saved my cotton coat, quilt and cotton gloves.

No, when you go back, you have to make the things you want first, otherwise you won’t know if you’re defeated by Li Ke.”

Seeing Yi Fan in a daze, Li Ke asked anxiously: "Pingan, how should we act now?"

Yi Fan looked at the situation in front of him, snapped his fingers, and said, "Look at me."

Yi Fan called out Li Ke's manager and said something in his ear.

The more the manager listened, the brighter the smile on his face. Then he walked steadily to prepare.

Seeing this, Li Ke hurriedly asked, "What's the trick of Ping An? Tell me quickly, don't worry about your brother."

Yi Fan smiled mysteriously and said, "The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed."
