Chapter 18: The Living Buddha

"Lord Qin, you see, it's not them!" Ma Qianhu stepped forward, his hands spread out, with an innocent expression on his face, and he was proud in his heart.

Qin Yiming ignored Ma Qianhu and continued: "Bring the torch!" ”

I saw Qin Yiming put the knives of the soldiers on the torches one by one and roasted them, Ma Qianhu didn't understand why, the soldiers were also whispering, at this time an old man among the soldiers shouted: "Yes, the blood-stained knives will turn green if they are roasted on the fire!" Lord Qin is really smart! ”

Everyone suddenly realized.

The cow killer saw that his knife had changed color slightly under the fire, and he knelt down.

"My lord, spare my life, master, help!"

"A few of you actually beat others for three coins of silver, and even killed Xu Laohan, the crime is unforgivable. And the official refused to admit it when he was questioned, the crime was added to the first degree, there was no joke in the army, everything was done in accordance with military law, come and pull these fanatics out and cut them down for me! Qin Yiming's words were categorical, his face was cold, Ma Qianhu didn't dare to come forward to plead, and those military households were so frightened that they didn't dare to get angry, this is Ma Qianhu's family, who usually shows off his might, and said that he was killed when he was killed?

It's really killed!

Taking over this mess, many things have to start from scratch, since the cattle killing incident, Qin Yiming has paid attention to the upcoming farming problem, this is a big problem, if the military households can't sow seeds on time, then there will be no food in the future.

So in the past few days, Qin Yiming has been visiting almost all of them, visiting one by one, and he found that the military households here are really too poor, and some people are not clothed, but the most serious problem is that there is not enough food to eat, and there are not enough farm tools, especially ploughing cattle, which are almost none, and ploughing cattle are too expensive, and ordinary people can't afford them.

In view of these circumstances, Qin Yiming came up with a solution that the Wei Institute would first pay for the purchase of grain, lend it to these military households, at least let them have enough to eat, and then return it after they had harvested the grain, and for those who needed it urgently, the Wei Institute would borrow the money to prevent them from being exploited by usury, and as for the cultivated cattle, they would also be purchased by the Wei Institute and let the farmers borrow them.

In the final analysis, these are just buying, buying, buying, and ultimately he has to pay for it himself.

"Hey, young master, you're really a loser!"

"Young master, we have a total of tens of thousands of taels of silver, and if you scatter it like this, it is estimated that it will be scattered by you soon, and you won't hear a sound!"

The big cow and the little monkey poured cold water on the side, they really felt sorry for the money.

"It's not just food and farm tools, I also have to find craftsmen and build iron shops, our soldiers don't even have weapons, let alone armor, and they are all unclothed, it's not a problem, can they go out to fight and be naked?" Qin Yiming thought of something and said anything.

"Young master, if you do this, then even if we take out all the money, it won't be enough!" The little monkey said.

"When the military households have a harvest, it will be good then!" Qin Yiming said.

"And how many months will it take?"

"What to do? You can't just wait! "Qin Yiming knows that there will be thieves crossing the border soon, and he will not be able to assemble a decent team at that time, I am afraid that there will be a lot of life here, and time waits for no one!

However, Qin Yiming also knew that it was not a way to go on like this, he had to think of a long-term solution, and there would be more places to spend money in the future, but for a while, he had nothing to do! He remembered Sun Shirui, the county magistrate of Anlu County, so he happily ran away, just about to go shopping.

Sun Shirui was very happy when he saw Qin Yiming coming, but when he heard that he was coming to borrow money, he immediately drooped his donkey face, although he heard that Qin Yiming was working in full swing in the guard, he was very pleased, but this Anlu County is also very poor, the most important thing is that Anlu County does not have its own small treasury, as early as Wanli year, the imperial court promulgated a policy to confiscate all the small treasury in the local area, and all went into his own internal funds.

However, there is one thing that Sun Shirui can help, that is, to borrow some grain for Qin Yiming, and in the end, Qin Yiming got five hundred stones of grain, and it is not without harvest.

There are ready-made ones in the blacksmith guard, but there is no iron, you need to find a merchant to buy iron, Qin Yiming's first thought is the Xu family, so Qin Yiming's second visit is the fiancée who has not seen her for a long time and likes to dress as a man.

But it's a pity that Qin Yiming pounced, according to the servants of the Xu family, their young lady went to the temple in Yingshan to pray for God and Buddha, Qin Yiming was helpless, and left a letter of worship, which contained Xu Zhen'er's jade pendant, and then was about to leave.

"Who are you? What do you do when you come to my house? A drunken boy appeared at the gate of the Xu family and was helped in by the janitor Xiao Ding.

"Young Master Xu, this is Lord Qianhu!" Xiao Ding explained.

Qin Yiming took a look, this person who was called Young Master Xu was about fourteen or fifteen years old, but he was seventeen or eighteen years old, obviously developed prematurely, and he looked like he was unworldly and unruly, he should be Xu Zhen'er's younger brother, his brother-in-law in the future, immediately squeezed out a smiling face, but he regretted it in the next second.

"Oh, it turned out to be a ...... Hey, hey, you come to my house to have ...... What is the business? "Then Young Master Xu is a little rude.

Qin Yiming was slightly unhappy when he was treated like this, but he didn't show it, but the big cow and the little monkey couldn't bear it, and the little monkey immediately said angrily: "Hey, what are you feeding, this is Lord Qianhu, why are you so rude!" ”

"Hehe, Senhu-sama! What a ...... Qianhe-sama, what's wrong with you, Qianhe-sama, in the final analysis, it's still a low ...... Low martial artist, this young master is a literati who is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and I am a showman, and I look down on you the most...... Vulgar martial arts, lackeys! Back then, Qi Shaobao was in front of Hu Zongtang, and he didn't call it Entang, after the young master was in high school, you could only call yourself ...... What do you know? Young Master Xu snorted and said, looking at the sky with an arrogant look.

"What do you call?" Da Niu asked.

"See you the lackeys! Hahaha! Young Master Xu laughed arrogantly.

The big cow and the little monkey wanted to rush over and beat this arrogant scholar hard, but Qin Yiming stopped drinking, the status of the martial artist and the literati was already very different, and what this brother-in-law said was not wrong, but fortunately, it is now the end of the Ming Dynasty, because there are many wars, and the status of the martial artist has improved a lot.

"Let's go!"

Young Master Xu seemed to be victorious, and continued to shout: "If you want to do it, come on, it's not to scare you, just the three of you, there are two or three hundred people in our family, don't run away if it's a man!" ”

Walking down the street, the big cow's belly gurgles.

"Let's go to the Drunken Immortal House to eat at the bar first, and then talk about other things, my stomach is growling." The big cow complained.

Qin Yiming happened to be hungry too, so he went into the Drunken Immortal Residence.

"Hey, lately, I've been making my eyelids jump, and I feel like something bad is going to happen."

"You go to the temple to worship the living Buddha and ensure that you are safe and sound!"

"Where is the living Buddha to worship?"

"Yingshan Temple!"
