Chapter 352: Insolent
"Here we go again."
Hearing this set of words that had been passed around countless times, City Lord Huang on the tower was somewhat helpless, gritted his teeth, and then could only wave his hand.
"Open the city gate."
"Just open the city gate like this, City Lord, don't we fight for it again?" The staff officer on the side was a little shocked when he heard this.
"Fight for it?" This made City Lord Huang a little angry and amused. He glanced at the staff officer and simply said, "Then go for it."
The staff officer choked a little, turned his head, looked at Ye Fan on the horse and the dark army, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
But with so many people watching, the staff officer could only bite the bullet and walked to the edge of the tower. Looking at Ye Fan on the horse, he spoke, but his voice was unconsciously trembling, "God, we didn't receive the order from the governor to let God come to investigate."
"It's normal that we didn't receive it. The cancer of the dynasty has penetrated deeply. In order to keep it secret, the governor trusts me very much, so he only told me." Ye Fan replied.
The loophole in this sentence is naturally very large. The staff officer is not stupid. He spoke again, "God, do you have the certificate authorized by the governor personally?"
"Of course I do." Ye Fan nodded, took out a token and raised it, "Here is the governor's order."
"Wow, a wooden order..." After only one look at the order, the staff officer's eyelids jumped wildly, "God, are you sure this order is the real governor's order?"
"I am the Minister of Military Affairs, God, can I still use a governor's order carved by myself to deceive you?"
Ye Fan spoke, looking at the staff officer on the tower. At this moment, although they were far apart, the staff officer felt a sense of shock in his heart and clearly felt the murderous intent in Ye Fan's eyes.
This made him subconsciously retract his head, and at this time, Ye Fan's voice with a hint of coldness also sounded.
"This strategist, it's good to have doubts, but it depends on the occasion."
"Just ask here. It's impolite to ask again."
...
"Minister Li, yesterday several of our families discussed the security issues of Fengyue Street. Today, I came to talk to Minister Li about this matter."
In the hall of the Military Department, several family heads sat in the lower seats, looking at Li Wushuang at the table, with some smiles in their eyes, and spoke politely.
"Fengyue Street has not been profitable recently, and we are unable to bear the relevant expenses of the members of the Military Department serving as security, so I hope Minister Li can consider reducing some of them as appropriate."
And sitting in the seat, listening to the words of these family heads, Li Wushuang's brows were just frowned.
After Ye Fan left, she stayed in Nange City alone as the acting minister. Naturally, she couldn't suppress the wolfish ambitions of these big families. In the past six months, the strength of these families has been rapidly recovering, and the Military Department has been suppressed again and again. Although Li Wushuang tried her best, the problem of insufficient manpower always put her at a disadvantage in negotiations.
"How much will it be reduced?" Facing the new difficulties raised by these family heads, Li Wushuang spoke slowly after a while.
"Three thousand."
"Three thousand? Reduced from 300,000 to 3,000." Just hearing this, Li Wushuang's face suddenly showed a trace of anger, "Do you think my military members are the hooligans on the street? You know how dangerous your Fengyue Street is. For a price of 3,000, you let the gold-level help you guard and patrol?"
"Minister Li, don't be angry. Isn't it that Fengyue Street's revenue was not high in the first half of the year." A family head smiled and said, but this smile was not very real. He said, lowered his head, but there was some teasing in his eyes, "In fact, there are still gold-level strongmen in our families. If Minister Li is unwilling, we can also let our families send people ourselves. In this way, Minister Li can save some troubles."
After saying this, Li Wushuang's eyes narrowed suddenly. In just a moment, she understood the intentions of these families.
Family security must employ members of the military department. This is the promise that Ye Fan obtained by putting pressure on these families. On the one hand, it is to fight for the welfare of the members of the military department, and on the other hand, it is also to strangle these families by the throat.
All key enterprises are guarded by the military department. Even if these families want to have a different intention, they dare not. However, Ye Fan can take action against them at any time, and the purpose of their coming today is obvious. They use extremely low rewards to anger Li Wushuang and let Li Wushuang voluntarily give up such a key control.
"It's only been half a year, can't you hold back..."
"Aren't your families not making good profits now? But it's impossible that they won't make good profits forever. Now I can pay you 3,000 a month, but when your profits improve, you need to make up for the compensation."
"This..." Li Wushuang's counterattack also surprised the heads of these families, but perhaps they were prepared, and another head of the family stood up, "Since Minister Li said so, it is naturally feasible, but the world has not been good in recent years. Fengyue Street may not have much profit in three to five years."
"The price of 3,000 is maintained for three to five years, which may make the members of the military department who are guarding it dissatisfied. After all, they are not like people like Minister Li. They have to support their families, right?"
This made Li Wushuang angry again.
If she agreed to it for three to five years, the members of the military department would definitely be dissatisfied, and then the space for their families to operate would be much larger.
If she didn't agree, the military department would lose the right to strangle these families.
Li Wushuang's face turned pale, and he didn't say a word for a while. However, several family heads had sinister smiles on their faces.
Since they came, they had already thought about it thoroughly. Whether Li Wushuang agreed or not, they would be at a disadvantage.
As for the repayment later, how to repay? Unless they checked their account books, who can prove that their income has improved?
"Minister Li, what do you think?" After a while, a family head spoke, as if urging.
At this moment, Li Wushuang frowned a little. Just when the stalemate was just around the corner, Chen Peng suddenly walked in in a hurry.
"What's wrong?" Looking at Chen Peng's appearance, Li Wushuang spoke, but Chen Peng hurried to Li Wushuang's ear and whispered.
After a few words, Li Wushuang's brows relaxed and a smile appeared on his face, "I know, you go and get busy first."
"Okay." Chen Peng responded and hurried down again. However, the atmosphere in the hall changed at this moment. Several family heads obviously felt something was wrong. Looking at Li Wushuang with a smile, someone said, "What is Minister Li happy about?"
"Nothing." Li Wushuang replied, but the smile on his face was about to burst out. He glanced at the family heads and said, "I agree to what you just said."
"Agree?" This surprised the family heads. Some people were a little confused, "Minister Li, will you not consider it for three to five years?"
"No need to consider it, you can delay it for a few years." Li Wushuang waved his hand casually. He seemed very relaxed at this moment. He stood up and stretched, and then seemed to think of something and spoke as if unintentionally.
"Oh, by the way, you said that this proposal to reduce the hiring fee was discussed by your families. Let me ask, which families are they?"
This sentence sounded very familiar, and it made these family heads alert all of a sudden.
They were obviously allergic to this sentence. Ye Fan asked them this question back then, and then they came to the door one by one.
"Could it be that God is coming back..." Thinking of Li Wushuang's sudden abnormality, a family head suddenly spoke in a low voice, and then the faces of several people changed all of a sudden. Looking at the smile on Li Wushuang's face, they were suddenly a little frightened.
God has been silent for half a year. Li Wushuang is very clear about their restlessness. If God comes back at this time, it will be terrible.
"Gululu." I don't know which family head swallowed his saliva. At this moment, he walked out and cautiously tested, "Minister Li, in fact, the 300,000 security fee, we can still pay it if we pool our money..."
"How can we let the family heads spend money?" Li Wushuang replied, "The agreement was made by you and God. God hates to force others the most. Since you feel that it is forced now, it's okay to change it."
"It's okay if you don't want to change it..."
"How dare you!" Li Wushuang suddenly shouted coldly, and then, looking at the patriarchs in front of him, he no longer had any reservations and tolerance, and said coldly: "You say change, change, don't change if you don't want to change? What is the Ministry of War!"
"What I'm asking you now is which families discussed this matter, don't you understand?"
