Chapter 831: Chapter 619: The Yang Family Is a Thick and Powerful Backer

Upon hearing Li Dagui’s words, Li Baoshan slowly sat up, “Who are you?”

“We have met once before, perhaps you remember me!” Li Dagui said.

Li Baoshan held his long knife and lifted the curtain, staring at the figure sitting beside his bed.

The room was dimly lit, and he could barely see a silhouette, unable to discern the person’s face.

“Could you light the candle?”

Li Dagui casually took out a fire stick and lit the nearby candle.

As the flickering candle flame rose, the dark room brightened significantly.

Li Baoshan stepped down from his bed, put on his boots, and then carefully observed Li Dagui’s face.

“Who are you?”

Unfortunately, he did not remember Li Dagui!

Li Dagui was indifferent, presenting Yang Mingzhao’s letter to him, “This is a letter from my family’s young master to you!”

Li Baoshan hesitated for a moment but still accepted the letter.

At that instant, he contemplated many things.

The person before him certainly wasn’t a familiar acquaintance, but since the other claimed to have met him, they must have interacted, or rather, the other’s faction must have interacted with him.

Moreover, it was certain that this person was connected to the rebel forces outside the city.

Besides the rebels outside the city, he couldn’t think of anyone else who would visit late at night at this time.

He opened the letter and silently read its content.

Yang Mingzhao’s letter was lengthy, not only revealing his identity but detailing the situation in Taiping County and clearly explaining how he would handle the city’s officials and wealthy households.

This naturally included the Li family, which Li Baoshan represented.

Yang Mingzhao certainly wouldn’t annihilate all martial arts forces; as long as they were willing to pledge allegiance, he would offer preferential treatment.

In the division of land, he would leave them more land.

Additionally, he would hand over several profitable businesses for martial arts forces to manage.

For instance, the Li family, where Li Baoshan belonged, Yang Mingzhao promised to provide ten salt wells as compensation for the land.

Besides the land, the Li family could retain their residences and shops within the city.

Truthfully, assessing the situation, the Li family would only suffer a minor loss.

Salt wells undoubtedly generate more profit than land, but to Yang Mingzhao, the significance of the land exceeds that of the salt wells.

Land can be distributed to ordinary citizens, whereas salt wells can’t; regular citizens lack the capability and resources to manage a salt well.

Having the Li family manage the salt wells, they would have to hire workers; as long as they ensure income for these workers and stabilize the salt price, it would be a beneficial situation without harm.

As for the origin of the salt wells?

Naturally, they would be seized from those unwilling to ally—wealthy households or martial arts families.

Simply put, it’s about defeating some while recruiting others, using the assets of the defeated ones to entice willing martial arts forces.

Thus, Yang Mingzhao wouldn’t become the common enemy of all martial arts forces and could also acquire a substantial amount of land to distribute among the populace.

Of course, this preferential treatment only applies to martial arts forces; for ordinary landlords or local gentry, apologies are in order.

If they cooperate with the land division, they’ll retain movable property; if not, the men will be sent to perform labor and women to remarry.

Rebellion is a cruel affair—it involves a redistribution of wealth and benefits.

Yang Mingzhao realized this point and developed these plans.

Furthermore, he had principles: he wouldn’t accept martial arts forces with too poor a reputation, even if they proactively pledged allegiance.

After reading the contents of the letter, Li Baoshan’s gaze fell upon the private seal at the end.

“Yang family’s Mr. Si, Yang Mingzhao!”

He silently recalled in his mind; he knew quite a bit about the Yang family.

For example, Yang Zhenshan had four sons, Yu Qingyi was Yang Zhenshan’s second wife, and Mr. Si of the Yang family was Yang Zhenshan and Yu Qingyi’s biological son.

These were no secrets; previously, they could be easily learned by inquiring at the Martial Arts Pavilion.

“Why is Mr. Si here?” Li Baoshan asked.

Li Dagui grinned, “That’s a long story—you just need to know Mr. Si is the leader of the Taiping Army!”

Li Baoshan nodded, then placed the letter over the candle flame, burning it.

“How is the old Marquis doing?”

He naturally referred to Yang Zhenshan, not Yang Mingcheng.

“Very well, he has been traveling for three years and hasn’t returned home yet!” Li Dagui replied.

“So the old Marquis isn’t aware of this matter!” Li Baoshan stated.

“Unaware!” Li Dagui responded.

“This truly is a difficult decision! If the old Marquis endorsed this matter, I would pledge the city without hesitation, but if it’s only Mr. Si, I need to think!”

The flames from the burning letter illuminated Li Baoshan’s face clearly, his expression was calm, his eyes deep.

Li Dagui silently observed him, then smirked slightly, “Well, I’ll give you a day to consider—I’ll be back at this time tomorrow!”

Li Baoshan nodded slightly, “Take care!”

Li Dagui stood up, glanced at the ashes on the ground, “This is an opportunity for you, hope you don’t miss it!”

Li Baoshan watched his departing figure in silence.

Opportunity?

Indeed, it is an opportunity!

For him and for the Li family, it is an opportunity.

He currently has Postnatal Seventh Layer cultivation, but he’s nearing forty; without opportunity, his life cultivation won’t surpass the Postnatal Eighth Layer.

As for the Li family, he represents a major power in Baoning Prefecture, but once he dies, the family would instantly revert to insignificance, becoming an irrelevant minor family.

For him, the Yang family’s influence is substantial enough; once he secures it, it surely represents a great chance.
