Chapter 140 Spending All the Wealth
Liao Qing felt as if he had eaten a dead child, and was extremely uncomfortable.
Chen Xuan wanted to take over all the property of the Liao family for the price of one copper coin.
This is not just robbery, it's a humiliation!
But he had no way out.
Even if you sign and seal the agreement, you will become a pauper, but you can still save your life.
No signature?
Then you will lose both your money and your life!
They even beat the deacon of Tianshan Sect half to death and hung him on a tree. It would only take a few minutes for them to kill a small landlord like you, right?
Liao Qing now hated Fang Han to death. If this bastard hadn't been so confident in coming to Chen Xuan to cause trouble, would all these troubles have happened?
I’ve seen unreliable things, but I’ve never seen one as unreliable as this!
In the end, Liao Qing signed the transfer contract with a dead heart.
Chen Xuan threw a copper coin to him and said indifferently: "Master Liao, you have eaten too much human blood steamed buns and have never experienced the suffering of the poor. Now I will let you feel it and see how the poor live. Now you can get out."
Giving him a copper coin was enough for him to live for a while.
But then again, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Landlords like Liao Qing were used to spending lavishly, but suddenly they became paupers, and one string of copper coins might not even be enough for a typical meal.
Of course, Chen Xuan didn't bother to care about these things. Even if he starved to death on the roadside, he deserved it.
I don’t know how many people in the entire Barbarian City starved to death because he deliberately raised the price of food. This kind of person deserves to be put to death.
"Master Chen, my son, and Elder Yang..."
Liao Qing felt his heart ache as he took the copper coin. He immediately started to act pitiful. "I have nothing left now. Please, Master Chen, release my son and Old Yang."
He had already decided that as long as Chen Xuan released the two men, he would immediately let Old Yang escort the father and son to the Tianshan Sect to find Bai Suzhen.
Even if the Tianshan Sect wanted to kill Liao Qing, it was impossible for them to kill Liao Jun as well!
And with Bai Susu's personality, how could she possibly tolerate her son suffering like this? She would definitely come down the mountain to seek revenge herself!
By then, even if Chen Xuan had ten lives, they would not be enough for him to die!
"The old rules are: 10,000 dan of rice per person. If you can produce 20,000 dan of rice, I'll let you go on the spot. If you can't produce it, don't bother me anymore."
Chen Xuan spoke lightly.
Xiao Liuzi pushed Liao Qing and threw him to the ground, cursing, "Get out of here! Don't dirty Master Chen's face!"
Liao Qing was trembling and about to say something, but Xiao Liuzi suddenly glared at him fiercely, and the meaning was very clear: if you dare not leave again, I will kill you!
Liao Qing was so frightened that he had to run away with his tail between his legs, fearing that if he didn't leave now, he would never have another chance to leave.
Looking at Liao Qing's hasty escape, Chen Xuan couldn't help but touch his chin, and suddenly felt that he looked a bit like a big villain?
But he quickly denied the idea.
Don’t think Liao Qing is pitiful now, but there must be something hateful about pitiful people!
He is very lucky to be able to survive this situation!
Next, Chen Xuan directly ordered a major move.
First of all, all the gold and silver in the courtyard were transported to the Liao Mansion.
The plaque on the Liao Mansion has been removed and replaced with the Chen Mansion.
Then, of the 10,000 dan of rice extorted from Liao's rice shop, only about 9,000 dan were left, and Chen Xuan also ordered the rice to be moved back to the rice shop.
Because the five rice shops of the Liao family have now become Chen Xuan's.
Many people and refugees were worried that after Chen Xuan moved the rice back, the price would go up and porridge would no longer be provided.
In response to this, Chen Xuan directly guaranteed that rice would still be sold at normal prices and would not increase by a penny.
At the same time, an additional porridge distribution location will be set up.
In addition, Chen Xuan planned to build some projects to provide the refugees with jobs and pay them wages every day.
To put it bluntly, it is work-for-relief.
After all, it is impossible to let the refugees eat and drink for free every day. Over time, it will easily breed lazy people. The right way is to give them jobs, let them earn money by themselves, and exchange hard work for wealth!
In addition to Chen Xuan and the eight women around him moving, the more than 500 people under his command naturally had to move to the city together.
The Liao family still has a lot of real estate in the city, enough for them to live in, and they no longer have to live in tents outside.
Moreover, training can also be conducted directly in the back garden of Liao Mansion.
After all, there are only 500 people, not 5,000. All we need to do is renovate the back garden and turn it into a small playground.
Liu Jinyu was originally practicing in seclusion in his tent, but Xiao Liuzi invited him out and asked him to move to another place to continue his seclusion.
Liu Jinyu was confused when he came out of retreat. He had no idea what had happened. He had originally planned to break through to the martial artist level before coming out of retreat. He was a little annoyed after being disturbed by Xiao Liuzi.
After learning what happened, Liu Jinyu slapped his thigh in regret.
If I had known this earlier, I would have started my retreat two days later!
Now, damn it, all the credit has been taken by Xiao Liuzi.
Liu Jinyu was worried that the next time he came out of seclusion, Xiao Liuzi would replace him and become the most popular person around Chen Xuan?
Seize the time to practice, and break through as soon as possible! This is what Liu Jinyu is thinking at this moment.
As for the three people from the Tianshan Sect who were hung under the old locust tree.
Chen Xuan would never go back on his word. He said he would hang them for three days, so he did!
But they were going to move away now, so Chen Xuan ordered the three of them to be taken away together. Xiao Liuzi, who was a very smart guy, directly asked his men to dig out the old locust tree, carry it to the gate of Liao's house and replant it.
Everyone who passed by Liao’s house could see the three people hanging.
"Xiuning, this is the indenture of the women from the brothel in Barbarian City."
The furnishings in the mansion are elegant and of high quality, with an antique charm.
After everyone had found their own rooms and put on new flyer covers and tidied up, Chen Xuan gathered them together and took out all the indentures.
There were a total of 130 indentures.
This means that the lives and property of one hundred and thirty women are in the hands of the Liao family.
Of course, these all belong to Chen Xuan now.
"What are you going to do with these women?"
Li Xiuning frowned and asked, she didn't know why Chen Xuan suddenly gave her these indentures.
On the side, Xu Ruolan seemed to be reminded of the past, after all, she was abducted and sold to a brothel back then.
Because she was the most popular courtesan, she could sell her art but not her body. However, she knew exactly what the women in the brothel were like and how miserable their lives were.
"My husband, these women are all pitiful people. We must treat them well."
Xu Ruolan said with red eyes.
