In order to ensure that the order in Jizhou will not collapse too much, Li Chi was quite tolerant of the officials in Jizhou City at the beginning.

Basically, they didn't move. Li Chi had to observe the situation in the city. Of course, it was impossible that he would never move.

These people also know what they are facing now. In terms of the current situation, it is no longer the only place where you have the final say if you are from a noble family.

They looked down on Li Chi in their hearts, a former wandering orphan and later Yanshan bandit, who has now become the lord of Jizhou.

This is hard to accept in the heart for those of noble birth, but on the surface it is humble and obedient.

They can plot against you all the time in the dark, but when they are in front of you, they must be a loyal and reliable person.

Moreover, they have a better family background, better qualities, and more profound knowledge.

So when they act humbly, it makes people feel that they are indeed sincere.

And people like them have much better demeanor than those rebel leaders who came from mud-legged backgrounds.

Therefore, it is even more confusing.

Back then, Yu Chaozong gradually got lost in front of such a person.

On one hand are carefree and rough men, and on the other hand are elegant and elegant children from aristocratic families.

While he only talks about drinking and eating jerky, he also quotes classics and tells the classics.

However, this is not the most helpless thing, and the more helpless thing is that the people have a natural awe for people wearing brocade clothes.

Unless it is time to burst, this awe becomes resentment.

In a world like Dachu and such an era, whenever there is order, Jinyi represents authority.

So when these officials were discussing secretly, they felt that Li Chi was not a difficult person to deal with.

They can serve people like Pan Nuo, but can't they serve people like Li Chi?

In their opinion, the Jiedushi Pan Nuo had seen the world standing on a high place and it was not easy to deceive him, but they still deceived him.

A person like Li Chi is not so far away than Pan Nuo?

Just as they have always done before, pulling a person into the gentle country and into the wine pond and meat forest.

They have enough knowledge, so the beautiful words they say can weave a beautiful dream.

In the Jiedushi's office, Zhang Yuxu left Li Chi's room to find Peng Shiqi, and discussed how to preach and persuade the people.

Not long after, Li Chi's subordinates came to report that it was Qu Cheng, the former Master of the Jizhou Prefecture, and Li Yaozhi, the Minister of the Fucheng Prefecture, and others sought to see him.

Li Chi looked at the eggs in his hand and suddenly smiled. What's the delicious eggs?

Soon, a group of adults from the former Jizhou Prefecture entered the living room with a respectful attitude. They didn't dare to sit down and stood in the living room waiting for Li Chi.

When Li Chi stepped into the door, these adults rushed up, bowing and asking about their well-being.

Li Chi smiled and signaled to show the adults tea.

The host and the host took a seat, and the government leaned over and said, "The general's return to Jizhou is really a blessing for the people of Jizhou. The people hope that the general will come back, as if they have been drought for a long time."

Li Chi smiled and did not answer.

This is too formal, and Li Chi has no desire to connect to the words.

In fact, what do you call Li Chi? These adults also had a headache. Calling him the boss seemed a bit inappropriate.

The boss, the boss of the bandit, is not that this title is disrespectful to Li Chi, but that they feel that they have lost their identity.

People like them nodded and bowed to a master, which made them feel a little unacceptable.

They can show that they are in line with Li Chi, but they cannot show that they are fathers of Li Chi Yin.

Call it the king?

It seems that it is not suitable to call Mr. Li, so after discussing, the only name General seems gentle.

Qu Cheng said a few more polite words. Seeing that Li Chi's attitude was neither lukewarm nor hot, he hesitated for a moment and felt that he should still express his attitude.

So he smiled and said, "Actually, we are here to ask the general for advice. We are willing to share the worries for the general and do more for the people of Jizhou..."

Before he could finish his words, Li Chi laughed.

Li Chi said: "This is a good thing. You are respected in Jizhou City. If you take the lead in coming forward, the people will have a backbone."

"The general is the backbone of the people of Jizhou."

Qu Cheng quickly replied, and his mood relaxed a little. The meaning in Li Chi's words seemed not that strong.

So Qu Cheng stood up and said, "We discussed it. The general returned to Jizhou this time to relieve the suffering of the people. We are also from Jizhou and are also part of Jizhou. We should work hard for the general and support the general with all our strength."

He changed his tone and said with a little sadness: "There are many disasters in Jizhou. Although we try our best to protect the people, our ability is limited and we cannot control the thief Pan Nuo."

"Over the past few days, Pan Nuo has been extremely vicious towards us and has occupied many other people's property. We dare not speak out."

Li Chi thought, his next sentence should be... Although we don't have much money now, we will take it out and support you.

Qu Cheng's tone changed again and said seriously and sincerely: "But the general has the intention to save the people. No matter how hard we work, we will do our best to assist the general, so we voluntarily offer our property, fill the treasury, and make a living for the people."

Li Chi stood up, clasped his fists, looking shocked and said sincerely: "I really didn't expect that you all have such a loving heart to the people. Compared with you all, I am really ashamed."

He looked at Qu Cheng and said, "Mr. Qu's heart has inspired the heaven and earth. If I refute the good intentions of my heaven and earth, the two elders of heaven and earth will punish me."

When Qu Cheng heard this, something was wrong.

Li Chi looked outside and shouted: "Jia Ruan, Zhen Gen."

It turned out that the eldest brother Jia Ruan of the Knife Gate and the younger brother Zhen Gen immediately entered the door and leaned over and said, "What are the instructions in charge of the family?"

Li Chi pointed to Qu Cheng and said, "I'll let you see today, what a noble person is? Lord Qu said that he is willing to sacrifice his maternal property for the sake of the people of Jizhou."

Jia Ruan and Zhen Gen looked at Qu Cheng at the same time and said, "It's true that they are noble and noble."

Li Chi smiled and ordered, "Mr. Qu, we must do our best. We can't let Master Qu do it yourself. You can bring five hundred people with you. Now, go to Master Qu's house. Remember not to be reckless, not scare people, be polite, and be careful in doing things. Register everything and remember to write a receipt to Master Qu."

When Qu Cheng heard this, why did this sound like he was going to search his house?

Li Chi waved his hand: "Go."

After saying that, he immediately shouted: "Should you wait."

He looked at the other adults and asked, "If I heard it wrongly just now, Lord Qu said on behalf of you, meaning, are you willing to sacrifice your monk's property?"

People say that giving up their maternal property is just a beautiful word.

What they mean is, I'll give you some money, and you continue to let us be officials. Do you understand?

The head of the government, Li Yaozhi, hurriedly said: "General... there should be some misunderstandings among them."

Li Chi said with a deep face: "You guys can't just talk about it."

He looked at Jia Ruan and said, "I just asked you to bring 500 people out. Since the adults have not actually thought about it, then you will take 500 people outside the door and wait until the adults figure it out before talking about it."

He said to Qu Cheng, "I happen to have something to go out. You guys will rest first, and I will come back in a while."

After saying that, he stepped out and left.

The adults left a room behind, looking at each other.

They have begun to regret it, why are they here today?

They thought Li Chi would do it before, but Li Chi didn't do it, so he discussed whether to take the initiative to show his loyalty.

So they came, so they regretted it.

Li Chi walked out and saw Tang Pidian leaning against him not far from outside the door. He smiled and walked over.

Tang Pidian handed Li Chi an apple, and he ate another one by himself.

"These people think you are in the same way as the people they used to coax and play with, and give you some benefits, so you continue to let them be officials."

Tang Piddi said as he walked: "I didn't expect you to be Li Bapi. They didn't take the initiative to come to the door. You were thinking about how to break up their money."

Li Chi said: "No, if they don't take the initiative, will I go and search other people's house for no reason?"

After saying this, he laughed: "I can."

Tang Pidian curled his lips.

He asked Li Chi: "Are you going to leave them here?"

Li Chi said: "Let them have a tea here. Let's go out separately to do business. You can lead the troops to help pack the goods at your home. I'll go to Fengming Mountain."

Tang Pidian asked: "What are you doing in Fengming Mountain?"

Li Chi told him what Zhang Yuxu had just said, and then said, "The fake Taoist people on Fengming Mountain are true Taoists in the eyes of the people of Jizhou. They have destroyed the reputation of Taoism. I will snatch that place to Zhang Yuxu, and move the fake Taoist to the real Taoist."

Tang Piddi said: "I'd better go to the granary. I'm not good at raiding houses. I'll go and exchange Yu Jiuling for it."

Li Chi said: "You are so cruel..."

If Tang Pidian went, at most he would evacuate the other person. If Yu Jiuling went, he would have to scrape the ground three feet away.

Tang Pidian laughed and said, "Whoever is a bad person is always a bad person. There must be someone who is a bad person, and Jiuling is very suitable."

Soon, Li shouted Zhang Yuxu and Peng Shiqi to go to Fengmingshan Taoist Temple. Before going out, he met Gao Xining and the others, and they also wanted to go play with him.

The two carriages stopped at the foot of Fengming Mountain more than half an hour later, and Li Chi had a bad impression of this place.
