Chapter 707 - 73 Li Guanyi and Whale Hunter_2
Li Guanyi laughed nonchalantly, "It’s just that my martial arts skills aren’t up to par, and I lack the expertise in thunderous methods, otherwise I would have just bombed the fish out of the water, catching plenty at once, as for what the senior mentioned..."
The young man placed the fish into a barrel and naturally said, "Because it saves money."
The fisherman asked, "Saves money?"
"Giving rations and land to beggars, and even renting them farm tools, you call that saving money?" He was almost amused by these words, and said lightly, "Where did you get such an idea of saving money?"
Li Guanyi cast another line and said, "It’s simple, they have land, and this year they might need our help, but next year, they will have some surplus grain; then, they can exchange the grain for money to build their own homes."
"You see, in this way, they can live quite well."
"If not, having to give money every year, how could the Qilin Army possibly afford it?"
The young general added:
"I’ve heard that Li Guanyi is very poor, he definitely can’t sustain it."
The fisherman looked down, and said faintly, "In times of chaos, isn’t it simpler to just throw the dead beggars into the river to fill it?"
