Chapter Thirty-Nine: Su Quan's Banquet

When he came to the county office, the first thing Zhao Qian looked for was the register of Yi County's population and land. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, Zhao Qian's face was gloomy after seeing it, he had been in Yi County for a few months, and he knew a lot about the situation in Yi County, and the record on the register was obviously less than the actual situation.

Zhao Yun looked at Zhao Qian's expression, understood Zhao Qian's thoughts, and said, "Big brother, the roster record does not match the reality, this is actually normal. ”

Zhao Qian looked at Zhao Yun with doubts in his eyes.

Zhao Yun smiled slightly and explained: "Big brother, there are nearly 200 tenant farmers and thousands of acres of fertile land in our tenant countryside alone, but these are not on the county government list, so you can imagine how many have not been registered." ”

After listening to Zhao Yun's words, Zhao Qian suddenly realized that even if he himself was a small landlord, the tenant farmers and land he owned were all in his own name, and he only needed to pay a certain amount of taxes on time, and other county officials didn't care about it at all.

Thinking about these assets of mine, they are only above the middle level in Yi County, and there are more landlords, scholars, etc., and the amount of population and land they own can be imagined.

Zhao Qian sighed deeply, this is completely due to this era, and it is difficult to change it himself, if the population and land controlled by the scholars and landlords are forcibly registered, they are likely to come to rebel against him.

Zhao Qian's current strength is still too weak, and he needs the support of these people, and he can't move their interests for the time being.

With the help of Zhao Yun, Zhao Qian finally straightened out the affairs of the county government, and then, the two went back together, after all, they still needed to rest a lot after a day of fatigue during the day.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Zhao Qian, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun came to the gate of the county seat, and first watched Niu Liang lead people to send away the corpse of Mu Ci; Then he looked at Wang Shan and Zhang Li, escorted dozens of people from the Xu family to Jizhou.

After sending these two teams away, Zhao Qian led people directly into Xu's house, and everything there had to be copied, in other words, it was all Zhao Qian's.

This Xu family is worthy of being one of the best families in Yi County, and there are three in food alone!

A single grain is 3,000 hundreds, a bucket is ten buckets, and a bucket is ten liters! With these grains, Zhao Qian can let go of his hands and feet and expand his team!

In addition to food, other money and goods are also quite abundant, Zhao Qian moved the idea of buying horses, after all, in the era of cold weapons, the impact of cavalry cannot be underestimated.

After counting the accounts, Rao was mentally prepared, but Zhao Qian was still taken aback.

No wonder when he helped Su Quan get back six cars of property, the other party didn't even blink his eyes, so he gave him a car, it turned out that it was just because of his wealth!

A carload of belongings is really worthless.

"Report! Lord, Su Quan has sent you an invitation, hoping that you can go to Su Mansion for a banquet. A soldier came running in from outside to report.

Now, except for those tenant farmers who are engaged in farming in the tenant villages, the others, whether they are homeless villages or training teams, Zhao Qian asks them to call themselves lords, after all, they can be regarded as having established their own power.

Zhao Qian nodded, took the invitation, and said, "Well, I know, you go down." ”

After the soldiers retreated, Zhao Qian turned to Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun and said, "Two virtuous brothers, it's good to go to Su Mansion with me for a banquet." ”

Zhao Yun nodded in agreement, but Zhang Fei waved his hand, shook his head and said, "My old man Zhang is very unpleasant to see that old man Su, so he won't go with the eldest brother, so I don't have to worry about it." ”

Zhao Qian understood that Su Quan's words were twists and turns, and Zhang Fei was very disgusted.

"That's fine, Yide, you go and take over the land and tenant farmers of the Xu family, this is also a lot of strength for us." Zhao Qian said to Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei nodded, patted his chest and said; "Big brother, don't worry, I know what Lao Zhang knows."

Subsequently, Zhao Qian and Zhao Yun rode their horses to Su Mansion.

After arriving at Su Mansion, Su Quan and his people had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when they saw Zhao Qian coming, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

Zhao Qian and Zhao Yun turned over and dismounted, and immediately a servant of the Su family stepped forward, took the reins of the horse, led it to the stable, and brushed the horse to feed.

Su Quan stepped forward, clasped his fists and arched his hands: "Lord Zhao can come to my Su family in a busy time, it is really an honor for my Su family, and it makes my humble house shine." ”

Zhao Qian returned the salute and said with a smile: "The head of the Su family is polite, when the county first came to Yi County, he was taken care of, and the county remembered it in his heart, and he didn't dare to forget it." ”

Zhao Qian has already used "this county" to call himself, since he has the power of the county order, there is no need to be too modest, sometimes, it is easier to win the respect of others by acting stronger.

Su Quan listened to Zhao Qian's words, but he was overjoyed, since Zhao Qian said so, then the Su family will definitely be much better in Yi County in the future than now.

In the past, Xu Hua worked as a servant in the county government, and he often took the opportunity to suppress the Su family, but now that the Xu family has been defeated, the Su family has naturally become the first family in Yi County.

"Lord Zhao, I will prepare some wine and food in the next place, please come over and taste it." Su Quan made a gesture of invitation and said.

"Master Su, you're welcome." Zhao Qian nodded, and then led Zhao Yun into the Su Mansion.

Under the leadership of Su Quan, Zhao Qian came to the main hall of Su Mansion, and at this time he realized that the last time he came to exchange watches, he went to just a side hall.

Under Su Quan's repeated insistence, Zhao Qian sat in the main seat, and after Su Quan and Zhao Yun sat down left and right, Su Quan slapped twice, and a domestic servant came to Zhao Qian with a tray holding a brocade box.

The brocade box is very beautiful, inlaid with gold edges, walking gold threads, and each of the four corners is inlaid with a pearl, which is really gorgeous and abnormal, so that it can be preserved to future generations, it is really priceless.

"Master Su, what do you mean?" Zhao Qian asked.

Su Quan smiled, pointed to the brocade box with his hand, and said, "Lord Zhao doesn't have to be suspicious, please open the brocade box and take a look." ”

Zhao Qian didn't understand at this time, this Su Quan was obviously bribing himself, but he didn't know what was inside this brocade box.

Since the brocade box is so gorgeous, presumably the things inside must be extraordinary, thinking of this, Zhao Qian stretched out his hand to open the brocade box and looked inside.

Seeing this, Zhao Qian was really surprised, he had thought about many results, such as jewelry, gold, etc., but he really didn't expect the things in the brocade box.

Zhao Yun saw Zhao Qian's expression and asked curiously, "Big brother, what kind of treasure is in the brocade box?" ”

The corners of Zhao Qian's mouth were slightly the same, he took out the items in the brocade box, handed them to Zhao Yun, and said, "This is the thing." ”

Zhao Yun took it and studied it for a long time, but he didn't know why, he looked up and asked, "Zhao Yun has never seen this thing, please say it clearly." ”

Zhao Qian laughed and said, "This thing is called a timer, commonly known as a watch!" ”
