The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

After hearing Li Qingfeng's praise, the Zishen Hall Master's expression relaxed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Listen quietly to what Qingfeng Li said next.

Qingfeng Li smiled and nodded.

"Xiao Ai's analysis is also based on a comprehensive consideration of our Qingfeng Village's upcoming plans."

"From now on, everyone should learn from the rats and use their brains more! This Peak Master highly commends you!"

After saying this, Qingfeng Li's expression became serious.

"However, the reason why this Peak Master vetoed this proposal is because I want you to know."

"The people of Qingfeng Village can no longer survive. We can become bandits, pirates, bludgeons, kidnappers, stealers, and robbers!"

"But I must never be a traitor to my country!"

Li Qingfeng's voice echoed in the Juyi Hall, leaving all the hall masters feeling deafened.

Qingfeng Li took a deep breath and sighed softly.

"It's easy to rob the tax silver. Even if the imperial army comes, we are not afraid to fight them. If we can't defeat them, we can always run away!"

Looking at all the hall masters who were listening attentively in the hall, Qingfeng Li said solemnly,

"But there's a problem. If the imperial court loses this money, what will happen to the nine northern borders? What about last year's heavy snow and this year's foreign invasion?"

"Once the northern Tartars enter the Great Wall, the common people of the north will fall under their iron hoof. What will the countless common people of the north do?"

As he spoke, Qingfeng Li slowly stood up.

"We rebelled against the imperial court because they wanted to annihilate us and leave us no chance of survival!"

"But we can't leave our fellow civilians in the north with no way to survive!"

"Just now you all wanted us to overthrow the imperial court together and make me the emperor. But with so few people left, can we really resist the invasion of the northern barbarians?"

"Don't think I'm taking on too much responsibility. When we decided to rebel against the imperial court and seize the world, we should have taken these into consideration!"

"We can't let the north collapse and allow foreign invaders to invade just to make it easier to deal with the imperial court."

All the hall masters in the hall lowered their heads and remained silent.

Even though they were all fearless and brave, and even though they were from the south, they knew the cruelty of the northern barbarians, who often carried out raids and looting in the north.

Even though they hated the aliens, they also knew that even if they went to the north, no matter how brave and fearless they were, they would still be no match for the aliens.

Qingfeng Li nodded slightly and continued,

"Although the imperial court's current army is corrupt and rotten, even a rotten ship still has three pounds of nails. With the army of the nine borders, we can defend against the foreign tribes in the north."

"It will take at least one or two months before the imperial army arrives. This period of time is enough for the salt tax to be transported to the Divine Capital and distributed to the border troops."

"Even if there are officials who are corrupt, there is still some corruption, and the defense line in the north is still stable."

"I know some of you may still not understand what I'm saying, but I hope you remember these four words: 'family, country, and the world'!"

As Qingfeng Li's rhythmic voice fell, all the hall masters present felt their hearts heavy.

It was as if there was something extra on his shoulders.

They all looked up at Qingfeng Li in the first seat and answered in unison,

"Yes! Peak Master!"

Qingfeng Li nodded slightly, sat back in his chair, pinched his brows and waved his hand.

"Let's adjourn! It's really a headache to drag you guys through this."

"Hahaha!"

All the hall masters laughed out loud, and the atmosphere became much more cheerful.

Everyone stood up and walked to Qingfeng Li and saluted respectfully.

The head of Zishen Hall respectfully said to Qingfeng Li,

"Peak Master! I understand. You are considering the people of the world, and it is I who am short-sighted!"

Zhao Dagou also said seriously,

"Although I don't understand this, I think what the Peak Master said is right!"

"I support the Peak Master!"

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

"..."

Li Qingfeng smiled, waved his hand and scolded unhappily,
