Liu Cheng, Chu Fei and others stood on top of the city and looked into the distance.

"Second brother, the thieves have retreated."

Liu Cheng had a smile on his face, obviously not expecting that Sun Qian would really be able to persuade the thieves to retreat.

Chu Fei smiled slightly when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Liu Cheng.

"Big brother, since the thieves have retreated, let's finish the last move. I think it won't be long before I receive triumphant news from all over the place, and time is pressing. ”

Liu Cheng was slightly stunned, and then nodded silently, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.

Back in the Qi Palace, Liu Cheng called all the newcomers who had just been promoted.

Everyone sat at the table, and Liu Cheng said: "You are all talented people, now that the thieves have retreated, the city is under construction, and we need to rely on you more." ”

"Where, where."

"King Qi has won the prize."

Everyone then agreed, some of these people were the original officials, because they saw the situation clearly and took refuge in Liu Cheng one step ahead, some of them were Liu Cheng's henchmen, and they were arranged to some places where the official position was not big but not small, and the rest of the people occupied seventy percent, all of whom were children of various wealthy families in Qi County.

Now it is the world of the family, and if you want to gain the true control of Qi County, the primary purpose is to draw the family under your command.

Qi County is where the Assassin History Department is located, and with the approval of Qi County, it almost controls the entire Qingzhou, at least before the complete chaos.

Liu Cheng smiled slightly and continued: "This time it is so easy to rely on the heads of the families, and I want to feast on the heads of the families to show my gratitude, I don't know what you think?" ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

These things are like that, but it's a bit inappropriate to say them.

Liu Cheng not only said it, but also said it in front of everyone, which has to make people suspect that he has other plans.

Of course, there are also people who understand among these people, now Chu Fei holds the power of soldiers and horses, and Liu Cheng controls half of the internal affairs, if the other party really wants to do something to himself, then there is no power to resist.

Although the tough method is a way to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, but the other party will do this.

Wei Chong is one of those who understands, but this is not the case.

He is a smart person, if he completely takes refuge in Liu Cheng, even if the other party really wants to do something to the family, there will naturally be a difference between those who take refuge actively and those who take refuge passively.

"Thank you King Qi for your kindness, my Wei family has relied on King Qi for a long time, and King Qi has invited him to a banquet, and the head of my Wei family must be ecstatic."

Seeing Wei Chong so cooperative, Liu Cheng was immediately overjoyed.

He was afraid that others would raise objections, so he took this opportunity and hurriedly said: "In this case, after three days, I will set up a banquet and wait for the heads of the family to come." ”

The three days passed quickly, and the heads of the families did not dare to offend Liu Cheng, so they all came to the banquet.

At the banquet, Liu Cheng didn't mention anything else, just chatted about thanks, toasted and drank together.

The heads of the families were puzzled and restless, and finally one of them couldn't sit still and asked aloud: "Dare to ask King Qi, if there is any place for us to help in the future construction, we will do our best to help." ”

Liu Cheng smiled slightly when he heard this, and secretly said in his heart, "It's finally here!" Then he said, "It is true that you still need the help of your family masters." ”

Hearing this, the heads of the families couldn't help but jump in their hearts.

No matter who you are, you have to consider your own interests, the King of Qi is the King of Qi after all, and the position of the Acting Assassin is always not long, if it costs money and effort to help, it is like a meat bun beating a dog and there is no return.

The change in everyone's expressions fell in Liu Cheng's eyes, Liu Cheng didn't think about it, and continued to speak: "Now that wars are frequent, soldiers and horses don't need grain and grass for logistics, and at this time, it is difficult to harvest crops in successive droughts. You are all wealthy families in Qi County, and you want to send potato seeds to you, and bother you to plant and sell them elsewhere in exchange for some rice grains, I don't know if you are willing? ”

As soon as these words came out, all the heads of the family were stunned on the spot.

After a moment, a smile of surprise appeared on everyone's faces.

Potatoes are a good thing, although their output is huge, but they have always been used in the army, even if they want to eat a bite of potatoes, they can only go to Chu Feikai's restaurant to eat.

Occasionally, potatoes are sold in Kunshan County, but they are extremely expensive.

After all, scarcity is expensive, and potatoes are only produced in Kunlun Village and Guantianzhong, and no matter how high the output is, it is limited.

If the potatoes are given to them, then they can grow them on a large scale and sell them.

It's a rare thing in Qi County, but how bad can it be outside? Especially in a 'metropolis' like Luoyang, the dignitaries and dignitaries are not short of that money, and they will definitely sell hot.

Since Liu Cheng is willing to give up the potatoes, he is giving money to everyone, where would they disagree.

"It's just..."

Without waiting for the heads of the family to speak, Liu Cheng lowered his face and said with a sad face.

Seeing this, the heads of the families opened their mouths and asked: "Now that the thieves have retreated, they should be happy, why is King Qi worried?" ”

Liu Cheng waited for them to answer this question, and immediately replied: "Hey, it's just that although Lone is the king of Qi, he has no name and no power, I am afraid that when the time comes, the newly sent assassin Shi from the imperial court will take back the rights of potatoes, so that you can rejoice in vain." ”

The heads of all families are old fritters, so they don't understand what Liu Cheng means.

No matter how great the power of the assassin is, it can't be snatched and taken.

Since the potatoes have been given, there is no reason to go back.

Liu Cheng's words were obviously not logical, but the heads of the family understood what he meant.

"King Qi rest assured, you are a member of the Han family, and when the assassin sees you, he will also come forward to give a salute, and we will swear allegiance to the death and advance and retreat with the king of Qi."

Hearing this, Liu Cheng finally showed a satisfied smile.

"Then thank you to the heads of the family, oh yes, this year's share of filial piety is still there, I see that Wei Chong is talented, rich and wealthy, and his political achievements are remarkable, what do you think of this time Wei Chong will be promoted to filial piety?"

Where is this kind of thing that these family heads can participate in, since Liu Cheng asked their opinions, they didn't understand that Liu Cheng was naked temptation.

first used potatoes to make everyone return to their hearts, and then postponed the matter of filial piety as a follow-up, so that everyone was reluctant to give up such a good opportunity.

Is this still the cynical King Qi we know?

After a feast, the heads of all the families left with spring on their faces.

The next day, the heads of each family ordered a large amount of supplies to be sent, saying that they would reward the army, so that the soldiers who fought bloodily would also celebrate.

Originally, many of the officials of the Assassin History Department were from these families, and they had already been told the true thoughts of the matter, and they decided to throw themselves into the arms of King Qi.

For a while, except for Qu Liang, who was deeply rooted and could not be shaken for a while, all the other positions were already Liu Cheng's people.
