Han Yuxi's words completely turned the passive situation into an active one. If Li Zexuan were here, he would definitely give his wife 32 likes ~!
"Every family can get 10 strings of money every year ~?"
When the people below heard Han Yuxi's words, they could not help but start whispering to each other. Among them, most of them had come here to seek money. Now that Han Yuxi had given such a generous compensation plan, almost no one was dissatisfied.
"Lord Li is so generous ~! This is really generous ~! "
"Yes ~! Every family gets 10 strings of money every year. No matter what, it's enough to live ~! "
"Tsk tsk ~! Just based on these conditions, I want to work for Lord Li ~! "
"Hehe ~! I told you that Lord Li is kind-hearted and wouldn't do such a thing that goes against his conscience ~! How about it ~? I was right, right ~? You guys just had to blindly follow along ~! "
"Yes, yes, yes. Boss Mao, you're right ~! We were the ones who didn't distinguish between right and wrong ~! Madam Jue, we've all let you down ~! "
"Yes ~! Madam Jue, we've let you down ~! We shouldn't have followed along ~! "
Not only the martyr's widows, but even the surrounding onlookers felt that the compensation plan offered by the Li family was very generous. Some people even wished that they could replace it with themselves. Han Yuxi retreated in order to advance and turned the passive into active. In an instant, she turned the unfavorable situation around.
Jiang Cuihua, who was in the crowd, saw this, and her expression became extremely ugly. Now, she and this group of women had indeed achieved their goal of asking the Li family for money. However, the Li family taking the initiative to give it and them taking the initiative to ask for it were two completely different concepts. Han Yuxi's actions completely ruined her established plan — to completely ruin Li Zexuan's reputation in the name of asking for money ~!
However, looking at the reaction of the surrounding crowd, she knew that not only was Li Zexuan not ruined, but he had also gained a good reputation for being benevolent and righteous.
"Hehe ~! Madam Jue is really benevolent. I just don't know how long the Li family can give them the 10 strings of money every year ~? "
The more Jiang Cuihua thought about it, the angrier she got. Suddenly, she thought of a flaw and asked.
In her opinion, each family earned ten strings of cash a year. More than two hundred families would earn more than two thousand strings of cash. She did not believe that the Li family would be willing to maintain such a large expenditure for a long time.
A cold light flashed through Han Yuxi's eyes. Jiang Cuihua was polite on the surface, but her words were targeted at the Li family. This made Han Yuxi feel a little angry. She glanced at Jiang Cuihua with a deep meaning and said, "Jiang Cuihua, you're the Li family.
"Auntie Jiang, that's a good question! Our Li Family intends to give each family a pension of 10 strings of coins for 50 years! A total of 107,500 strings of cash! Within half a year, my husband and I will raise this sum of money and hand it over to the imperial court. The Ministry of Revenue will distribute it to everyone every year! This way, no matter whether the Li family is rich or poor 50 years later, the pension money for the families of the soldiers will not be lacking! "
After learning new mathematics for so long, Han Yuxi effortlessly calculated the total amount of pension for the 215 martyrs for 50 years. When the onlookers heard that, there was a commotion. Although they felt that the previous ten strings of cash was a lot, it was still within their acceptable range. Now that they heard that the Li family was going to take out more than 100,000 strings of cash, this was really an eye-opener for them!
"Good! Lord Li is generous! Lady Jue is generous! "
"What the f * ck ~! More than 100,000 strings of cash! Lord Li is really unparalleled! "
"That's right! Today, these women blocked the Li family's door to cause trouble. It's really too much! Fortunately, Lady Jue is magnanimous. Not only did she not mind, but she also repaid evil with good. It's really rare! "
"Mm! That's the truth! "
…
Under Han Yuxi's step-by-step attacks, the scales of victory had already begun to tilt towards the Li family. The martyrs' widows in the field were pointed at by the surrounding people. Many people did not dare to raise their heads to look at Han Yuxi again.
A person lives with a face, a tree lives with a piece of skin!
In fact, most of them did not have such a big grudge against Li Zexuan and the Li family. It was mainly because Jiang Cuihua used some bewitching words to trick them into causing trouble. Now, in front of the Li residence, not only did Han Yuxi not speak ill of them, but she also gave them iced warm drinks and clean and soft cushions to sit on. This eased the hostility in their hearts by a lot.
In the end, Han Yuxi did not need them to say anything. Instead, she took the initiative to give them such a generous pension plan. While they were satisfied, they also felt a lot of guilt. They kept feeling that they were the villain in this matter.
"Madam and Lord Jue are benevolent, but my family doesn't want money. I only want my husband's bones. I beg Madam and Lord Jue to fulfill my wish!"
Just when Han Yuxi thought that the matter was about to be resolved satisfactorily, she saw a delicate woman in mourning clothes stand up and say.
"Yes, yes, yes! Madam Jue, why didn't the Ministry of War send back the corpses of the soldiers in the battle of Snake Spirit Mountain this time! How sad do you think it is for them to die without seeing their corpses! "
Jiang Cuihua's eyes lit up as she quickly jumped out and said.
"Hmph!"
Han Yuxi's face turned cold as she said to Jiang Cuihua coldly, "I wonder if any of the 215 soldiers who died are your family members, Aunt Jiang ~?"
Jiang Cuihua's old face darkened as she said weakly, "This … cough cough … no!"
"Since no, then why is Aunt Jiang more anxious than these people? Can I understand that these people were all instigated by Aunt Jiang to come and ruin our Li family's reputation? "
The voice of Han Yuxi, who had been speaking in a gentle voice earlier, suddenly became stern. Her beautiful face was also covered with dark clouds.
Jiang Cuihua panicked, but she was an experienced person after all. After taking two breaths, she hurriedly explained.
"Madam Jue, that's not right! Justice is in the human heart. I, Jiang Cuihua, saw that these people who lost their husbands were pitiful, so I stood out to help them. How did I instigate them to ruin your family's reputation? I'm doing this for the public good! "
"Haha! Eager for justice ~? "
Han Yuxi sneered, then walked to the delicate woman in white who had stood up earlier and asked softly, "May I know your name ~?"
The delicate woman bowed and answered, "I am Xia Wanqing. My husband is Zhao Siwei, a lieutenant of the Imperial Army and the captain of General Dugu's personal guards!"
Han Yuxi was slightly shocked. The night before, Li Zexuan had briefly explained the battle on Snake Spirit Mountain to her. At the last moment, Zhao Siwei had led the remaining Imperial Army guards and used his life to give Li Zexuan, Dugu Xin, and the others a chance to retreat. Han Yuxi remembered this matter deeply in her heart.
