Fourth, 1,300 monthly passes will be sent!

In Beihai, the daughter of Nacui Junsu is a concubine, Du Ruhui is the Beihai Taishou, Qi County is Qin Qiong is the Governor of Qi County, and Fang Xuanling is the Taishou of Qi County.

Luo Cheng didn't hide it at all, he unceremoniously used his privilege to worship and promote those who had a good relationship with him and were capable.

From Beihai Yidu to Licheng in Qi County, Luo Cheng issued a conscription order all the way and recalled the old headquarters of the 3,000 Left Fifth Army.

Light Cavalry Battalion, Heavy Cavalry Battalion, Modao Battalion, Longbow Battalion, Crossbow Battalion, Spear Battalion, Knife Battalion, Scout Battalion·······

One battalion after another was rapidly reorganized, and flags were raised one after another.

Three thousand old departments gathered, and Luo Cheng became more and more at ease.

With these three thousand old troops, at least he doesn't have to worry about encountering an attack like last time, even if a large group of bandits attack, he can still crush them.

Originally, to recruit these old government soldiers, he needed to invite the imperial court, but Luo Cheng couldn't wait, he cut first and then played.

In Licheng, Luo Cheng stopped for three days.

went to the ancestral tomb of the Qin family to worship Qin's mother, and visited his sister-in-law Zhang Runniang at Qin's house.

For more than two years, Qin Qiong has been filial piety to his mother, although he was robbed of his affection, he is still very polite and has been separated from his wife.

Fortunately, Runniang is also a more virtuous woman, although her mother-in-law died just after she got married, and her husband was busy in the barracks all day long, either to train the soldiers, or to suppress bandits, and she had to worry about him all day long, but she had no complaints, she took care of the housework alone, and took care of a Qin Mansion in an orderly manner, and even the family business was under her management, and it was still impressive, and she made a lot of money every year.

The relationship between the Qin and Luo families does not need to shy away from anything.

Luo Cheng and Runniang were drinking tea and chatting in the living room, and Runniang smiled and said that Luo Cheng had taken a concubine and gave birth to a child outside, and he had to be polite and crying when he got home.

"There's no way to cry, I can only coax her, I really owe her."

"You know that your conscience is not bad when you say this. Some of you men, when you have power, change your mind and don't care about women's feelings. Binbin has been at home for more than two years, and it is not easy, go back and coax her well. ”

"But there is one thing, I still have to tell you, that is, the girl in the red line, although my father once wanted to promise her to you, now it seems that it is indeed that girl who did not have the life to be your wife, but she has also stayed in your Luo family for the past two years. Now that girl is not young, she has been in your Luo family for two years, and it is not good for this unclear to go on, Binbin and I also mentioned it in the letter before, saying that when you come back, I want you to accept the red line, and said that she is in charge of this matter, and the red line will never refuse. Today, you will give me an attitude, whether you are willing to do it or not. ”

Luo Cheng has one head and two big, but Unexpectedly, Runniang asked him about it.

"Let's go back and talk about it."

"Okay, it's better for you to talk to Binbin, there is another thing, that is, your iron workshop and brewery before, you let our Qin family also join a group, but in the past two years, Qi County has not been peaceful, Zhangqiu is even more unstable, your father and they are busy suppressing bandits and thieves all day long, and now they have played the prestige of the Luo family, these two workshops are all handed down to me to take care of, I am a woman's family, and I don't have any ability, so I barely help to keep an eye on it, but fortunately, I finally did not live up to the trust of your family."

"In the past two years, I have pulled a few of your sworn brothers to operate together, and the livelihood of the two workshops has expanded to dozens of counties on both sides of the Yellow River, and even Liangjing and Jiangnan have also been sold, this iron pot and liquor are selling well, and the input is good, but the world is too chaotic, the road is not smooth, and a lot of money is lost every year, but fortunately, even if these are deducted, there is still a lot of input."

"I've asked the steward to make a detailed account, and I'll show it to you later."

Luo Cheng smiled and waved his hand.

"You see how can I have time to take care of these now, since sister-in-law you can do these two transactions so well, it means that you have found someone. Don't bother the two masters, and ask your sister-in-law to continue to trouble in the future, as for the account books, you can show them to each family regularly. ”

The Luo family's iron workshop and wine workshop were valued by Luo Cheng in the past, after all, he could make a lot of money, and the money at that time was still very useful to the Luo family.

But now, Luo Cheng is not short of money, not to mention that he has won so many battles in Liaodong and grabbed so many loot, his own share is enough.

And the emperor's several rewards are also very rich, the most recent reward is as much as 1,000 taels of gold, not counting the rewards of other slaves and maids, farm houses, etc.

His Duke of Qi Guo, there are also 300 households of real fiefdom, although since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the fiefdom system has been destroyed, the vassal princes do not have any real fiefs, and the Great Sui even has no fiefs for the royal princes, and the euphores are actually just on the accounts, when the court gives you the eup, it is generally designated to a county, and then according to the number of feudal households in the county or the county to indicate the sufficient number of households.

Every year, the nobles could send their own servants and stewards to the land to assist the magistrates in collecting their rents. The rent received was the land rent that should have been given to the imperial court, and now it was transferred to these nobles, but the nobles could only collect two-thirds, and they had to take out the third and hand it over to the imperial court.

A true seal is generally a family of five or six people in Dingkou, and when converted, 300 Zhenfeng Shiyi is actually about two-thirds of the rent of about 15 to 2,000 Dingtian.

And a Ding man's annual land rent is two stones, so Luo Cheng's income from the Duke of Qi is about 3,000 to 4,000 stone millet a year, and he has to take out one-third of it and hand it over to the imperial court.

But Luo Cheng, like all the aristocratic officials, does not rely on this income.

The real bulk of the income is still the land owned by the nobles, including the office field, the Xun field, the official Yongye field, etc., as well as the large amount of land owned by their own families, as well as the use of their position and power to operate loans, commercial goods and other transactions, that is to make money.

The higher the status.

Although money still plays a big role, it has become lower and lower compared to the position of power.

If you can't keep your official position, your power is no longer there, and no amount of money will just make you a fat pig.

And with a position of power, it is very simple to ask for money.

"Don't think sister-in-law is too talkative, it's good to go back this time, accompany Binbin more, don't talk about anything else, let Binbin conceive a child first, it's more effective than any sweet words. After all, she is the wife of the main house, so she can't wait for a few concubines for you, right? ”

Luo Cheng smiled a little awkwardly.

"Don't take it seriously, beware of his brother Shan Zhuang coming to trouble you."

"Even if Second Brother Shan doesn't come to me, I will look for him, when I was still in Beihai, I had already sent someone to invite Second Brother Shan and Cheng Xu Zhai Huang and other righteous brothers to come to discuss important matters."

"Then you pray to meet at that time, and the owner of the single village will not trouble you." Zhang Runniang chuckled.

"I plan to give all my righteous brothers official positions, and they will all be awarded the post of lieutenant of a county, and with these four or five official positions as gifts, I believe they should not be too embarrassed for me." Luo Cheng said hehehe.

"You're too nepotistic, aren't you, aren't you afraid that Yushi will impeach you then?"

"What are you afraid of, isn't my sister-in-law's father the imperial history, and besides, the emperor gave me the privilege of worshipping the seal, and I will only give important tasks to the second brother Shan and other cadres who have made achievements in suppressing bandits and quelling chaos in Henan. What's wrong? ”

"This is not something that I can say as a woman, you can grasp it yourself."
