For the people who sent the rent in Xuanfu Town, Jia Ke threw these people to Qin Keqing for disposal, and he just met with the capital of the Eight Banners alone and learned from them about the development of the Eight Banners during this time.

In the flower hall of the Wuyang Hou Mansion, Jia Ke sat in the center, and the eight eight flags all saw Jia Ke and first bowed and kowtowed to his master. It wasn't until Jia Ke asked them to get up that they dared to stand up and stand on both sides of Jia Ke.

"What is the difficulty in the clan now, if you encounter a problem, just go to Huang Baifeng, he is my trusted general, you are also familiar with it, he will definitely help when the time comes." Jia Ke is still a little worried about the future development of the Manchu people he founded, after all, they are competing with the Tatars for living space.

Ji Zhigela was the first of the eight to take refuge in Jia Ke, so he unconsciously became the leader of the eight. At this time, Jia Ke asked, and he naturally came out to answer.

"Master, our clan is now developing very well, and there are almost a million people in our clan." Ji Zhigela replied respectfully to Jia Ke.

"So how to deal with the threat to the Tatars? After I left, did they still come to harass me often? Jia Ke asked what he was worried about.

"Don't worry, master, since you left, although the Tatars have often come to harass you, these Tatars are very cowardly, and we have defeated them in several encounters with him." This time, it was the white flag that replied.

Jia Ke is now a little puzzled, these Manchus are all separated from the Tatars, why are they so strong in combat now? In just a few strokes, the Tatars were crushed.

"The Tatars were still very strong in combat when I left, why were they so vulnerable during this time." Jia Ke asked the doubts in his heart.

Zhenghuang Banner Dutong Ji Rigela stood up again and replied: "Back to the master, we are full of people who eat and drink well now, all of them are strong, plus they are well-armed, and the number of people is not less than them. Even if there is any injury, the master will also help take care of the family. So everyone is moving forward bravely, and those Tatars are not only poorly equipped, but also weak, and where do the Tatar leaders treat them as human beings, so they are not as dare to kill as we are in battle, where are the opponents of our warriors. ”

Jia Ke understood a little when he heard this, although he also practiced slavery among the Manchus, and these people were nominally his slaves. But they take care of the lives of these people, and because of Jia Ke's relationship, they can conduct unscrupulous transactions with Xuanfu Town in exchange for various items that they are in short supply. It seems that the physical fitness has improved greatly during this time. Coupled with the fact that he was well-armed and not afraid of death, he had an absolute upper hand in the battle with the Tatars.

However, Jia Ke was not reassured, because he knew that there was still a hero on the grassland, Arslen Khan, and if this person was still there, he was afraid that there would be a dragon and tiger fight on the grassland, and finally the ownership of the grassland could be decided.

"Do not take it lightly, I know that Arslen Khan, this man is my fierce enemy. Not only cunning and cunning, but also quite ambitious, he has now unified the Tatars, although this attack on the capital division was defeated by me, and some men and horses were lost, but its main force is still there, you should not be careless. If there is an emergency, ask Huang Baifeng for support and the strength of the two of you at that time, and you will definitely be able to defeat Arslen Khan. Jia Ke told them again and again, because he was afraid that they would become proud.

Ji Zhigra hurriedly replied: "Master rest assured, we will definitely obey your orders, and keep in touch with Huang Baifeng from time to time, and will never give the Tatars a chance to take advantage of it." ”

After Jia Ke instructed them, there was nothing to do, so he asked, "What did you bring me this time?" Over the years, our tribe's life should have improved, but don't be stingy. ”

Ji Zhigra said embarrassedly: "In the past, our tribe relied on the master's trouble to survive, but now we are different from before, and the cattle, sheep and horses are endless. This time, I couldn't drive the cattle and sheep to the master for the New Year, so I changed the silver to bring to the master. And Tang Kuai, he also entrusted us with this year's profit money to send it to the master. ”

"How much, it seems that I can have a fat year this year." Jia Ke is still very happy to have silver in the account, after all, who doesn't like money.

Ji Rigra replied: "Our eight departments have made up a total of 200,000 taels for the master, and Tang Kuai has also brought 100,000 taels to the master. ”

Jia Ke heard that the eight Manchu tribes had made up a total of 200,000 taels, and when he thought about the income of the eight Manchu tribes in the past few years, he also felt that it was almost this number.

As for Tang Kuai's tribute to 100,000 taels, it is slightly more than in previous years, and it seems that his business is not bad this year.

"I'm very happy that the eight of you are here this time, but all eight of you are here this time, in case something goes wrong with the clan, who will preside over it, so in the future, you can only come to pay tribute every year, and you can only come to four at most, leaving four to guard the clan." Although Jia Ke was happy that they came, he was still worried about the safety of the Manchus.

The eight of them knelt down together and agreed in unison after listening to Jia Ke's instructions, and Jia Ke was relieved.

After that, Jia Ke arranged for the eight capitals to rest in the other courtyard, and told them to go back quickly in the next two days, so as not to let anything go wrong with the tribe, after all, this time all eight of them came, and no one in the Manchu tribe presided over the overall situation.

After Jia Ke left, Li Ke had someone bring them a full table of sumptuous banquets, and the eight people sat down on the banquet and began to talk.

Ji Zhigra sat there and said happily: "That time, I saw that our master was already the most powerful person in the Southern Dynasty. ”

Mandu Latu also echoed and said: "I think our master will definitely have greater achievements in the future, and in the future, our master will not only be the king of the grassland, but also the king of the Southern Dynasty." ”

From the eldest Mungen, they watched as these people spoke more and more unseemly, and hurriedly stopped: "Drink more and talk less." What kind of place is this, there may be spies from the emperor of the Southern Dynasty. You are so unscrupulous, if you cause trouble to your master, who can afford it? ”

As the wise man among these eight people, Ji Ya also echoed and said: "As long as we return to the tribe and take good care of the clan for the master, other things will naturally be decided by the master." ”

The rest of the people also felt justified when they heard the most prominent elders of the two clans talking at the same time, so they stopped talking about more sensitive topics. Next is the wind and snow, talking about the beauties of the Southern Dynasty.

And in the afternoon, Qin Keqing returned to the courtyard, Qin Keqing had no spare time during the day, Qin Keqing was in charge of such a large mansion as Wuyang Hou Mansion for the first time, and it was inevitable that he would be a little busy. This time, rentals were sent from all over the country, and it was the first time she had encountered such a situation.

In addition to the rent, there are also grange stewards and shopkeepers from all over the country who came to visit the new grandmother. After all, she will have to live under this new grandmother in the future, and if she doesn't build a good relationship, she won't be able to keep her position in the future.

Fortunately, Qin Keqing is very smart, there is no mistake in dealing with people, and there is Lanxiang by the side to help, so the rent in various places has been counted, and the warehouse that should be entered into the treasury is the treasury of the treasury. She was so busy that she couldn't even take care of eating, so she ate a few pieces of dim sum with this tea, which was considered a meal.

In this way, the contents of various places were roughly put in the warehouse, and it would take several days to count them. And every time Qin Keqing patrolled back and forth in the warehouse, he felt extremely relieved.

When the leisurely Jia Ke saw Qin Keqing, she was lying on the bed, motionless. Jia Ke thought that she was unwell, so he hurried over, lay down beside her, held her in his arms and asked, "It's fine in the morning, why is it uncomfortable at this time?" ”

"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." Qin Keqing leaned his head on Jia Ke's arms and said with satisfaction.

Jia Ke reached out and touched her head, and found that everything was normal, so she put her mind at ease, raised her little face to look carefully, and saw that her face was full of exhaustion, but her two eyes were shining, and it seemed that her spirit was very uplifting.

"What's the matter, I'm so happy to be tired like this." Jia Ke asked her.

"Lang Jun, do you know how much rent we collected today?" Qin Keqing heard Jia Ke ask about her happiness, and immediately asked in high spirits.

"It should be three or four hundred thousand taels. Then there is some rice and flour, all kinds of birds and animals, these are not worth much. Jia Ke still knows his income very well, after all, before Qin Keqing came, he was personally responsible for the affairs of the family. However, this year's Manchu Eight Banners' income has increased significantly compared with previous years, and this year should be much more than last year. However, Jia Ke didn't say anything, so that Qin Keqing had a room to show off.

"To say less, it seems that you big men can't be allowed to take care of the house, not at all, beware of letting those minions be deceived." Qin Keqing proudly preached to Jia Ke.

After today's inventory, Qin Keqing can be regarded as knowing the approximate income of the Marquis of Wuyang every year, and he is helpless for Jia Ke, the master, to be so careless. It seems that every man is so arrogant, and he must not let him know about the money in the house in the future, otherwise he doesn't know how the people below will deceive him.

"Oh, so many this year?" Jia Ke was a little surprised by this year's income, to be honest, he usually didn't care much about these things, when he was in charge of the housekeeper in the past, as long as the numbers were roughly good, he wouldn't pursue those details, but fortunately, he was still loyal to his hand housekeepers and didn't deceive his superiors and subordinates.

In fact, Jia Ke also knew that they must be tired of using some kittens in it, but when the water is clear, there are no fish, and Jia Ke does not pursue these things too much, and always has to give some benefits to his subordinates, so that they can work.

"Of course, the rent alone has been nearly 200,000 yuan, plus the income of 3,780,000 taels from various shops, our family has an income of more than 500,000 taels this year." Qin Keqing said excitedly, Qin Keqing didn't know about the Manchu Eight Banners, he just thought that it was the income sent by Jia Ke's shop in Xuanfu Town.
