From Chang'an to Jingyang County, there are a total of 20 miles. If you are riding a horse, you can reach it in less than half an hour. But Qin Ze naturally couldn't travel on horseback, but fortunately, he still had a carriage.

The carriage is also part of the honor guard of the Marquis of Jingyang, and it stands to reason that Qin Ze is going to his own fiefdom to play the honor guard, but Qin Ze is too lazy to toss. For him, having a carriage to sit in is enough.

It's just that the speed of the carriage is much slower, and it took a full hour for Qin Ze and his party to come to the fiefdom.

It is located on the outskirts of Chang'an, and the terrain is flat.

But although it is adjacent to Chang'an, it is two worlds with Chang'an. There are hundreds of thousands of people in one hundred and eight squares in Chang'an City, but if you look at Jingyang County, there are only 1,000 households. On the contrary, Yunyang County next to it has a larger population than Jingyang County.

The reason for this is that, on the one hand, the official road of Chang'an passes through Yunyang County, which brings a lot of foot traffic to it. On the other hand, it is also because when Jieli went south, he once plundered Jingyang County.

That's why many people have moved away. Therefore, there are only more than 1,000 households left in Jingyang County.

Jingyang County and Yunyang County, the watershed of the two counties is the Jing River. Among them, Jingyang County is located in the north of the Jing River, and the north of the water is the yang in ancient times, so it has the name Jingyang County.

Although this Jingyang County is far away from the official road, it has also been nourished by most of the Jinghe River. Although the population of the county is only 1,000 households, fortunately, the terrain here is flat, although a large number of them are river flats, but it is enough for these more than 1,000 households to survive.

As the Marquis of Jingyang, Qin Ze had two rights in his fiefdom, that is, "self-appointed officials" and "endowment".

Self-appointed officials meant that if Qin Ze wanted to, he could decide who would make the county orders in Jingyang County

But fortunately, the current county order is good, and it is also a member of the Lu family. And because Qin Ze has a good relationship with Lu Qu, he even has a good relationship with Lu County. What's more, Lu Xianling is also quite modest, although he has no special talents, but he treats the people well.

Qin Zelai didn't intend to alarm the Lu County Order in his own fiefdom, not to mention that he didn't even bring the honor guard of his Hou Mansion this time.

The winding path is a bit difficult to walk because of the snow. Coupled with the fact that it was freezing cold, no one wanted to come out at this time.

But Qin Ze is different this time, although these people didn't see the honor guard of the Hou Mansion, they knew Qin Ze's carriage. So all of a sudden, some people began to run to tell each other, and after a while, there were more people around.

Qin Ze ignored these, but still let Erhu drive the carriage to his Hou Mansion in Jingyang County.

It's even more deserted here, not only are there only a few people in plain clothes here, but Qin Ze has always planned to come to a major renovation at the end, so he didn't even see anyone when he walked into the Hou Mansion.

Seeing this scene, Qin Ze lamented that his mansion was too big, but it seemed so deserted.

This ordinary person only dislikes the small one who dislikes the house, where is there such a person who dislikes the house as big as Qin Ze?

Put it on others, what seven aunts and eight aunts, sixteen concubines or something, not to mention two Hou mansions, even a few more may not be enough. But who made Qin Ze a lonely person, the only two and a half ladies he had, and he didn't have any reputation with himself at this time.

Qin Ze was still sighing, and saw Qiuqiu walking out of the mansion, and he was still surrounded by plain clothes that he hadn't seen for many days.

Qin Ze subconsciously glanced back at Wang Yuxi, and was relieved to see that her face was still as usual. And Wang Yuxi was obviously angered by Qin Ze's eyes, and immediately stretched out his hand and pinched Qin Ze's back.

You must know that in this era, it is not only the fashion of high society for men to have three wives and four concubines. And it has become the standard of honor, if the master of the family only marries one main room, then not only the master will be pointed at, but even this main room will be talked about.

You must know that as a main family, there is a reason to be responsible for the continuation of the bloodline of the husband's family.

Therefore, when Qin Ze looked back, wouldn't he just let others see Wang Yuxi's jokes.

"Hmph, if you still have some conscience, you can deal with these things before you mention any marriage contract." After Wang Yuxi said this, he took Chunxiang into the inner hall.

Qin Ze always felt that he had a feeling of cheating, but I have to say that this feeling was really a bit mysterious.

Qiuqiu also gave Qin Ze a look in a regular manner, and then turned around and left. And Qin Ze looked around at Princess Yicheng's traces, and after finding that the other party was not nearby, Qin Ze greeted him.

Su Yi was still as indifferent as ever, and his eyes looking at Qin Ze didn't seem to fluctuate in the slightest. But a hint of blush rising on her face still revealed her current thoughts.

Where would Qin Ze care about this, without saying a word, he hid aside with his plain clothes. Finally, Princess Yicheng was not there, and Qin Ze didn't take the opportunity to have a good relationship with Su Yi.

Now Princess Yicheng's mind is elusive, she never mentions the marriage between Qin Ze and Su Yi, but she does not exclude Qin Ze and Su Yi from contacting. Even from Wang Yuxi's mouth, Suyi and her relationship are not bad.

The highest realm of Jinwu Zangjiao is nothing more than that, but Qin Ze still doesn't dare to go too far. It's just that when I hold Suyi's hand, I can still feel the strong heartbeat in my chest.

"Has Mother ever mentioned your marriage to me?" Qin Ze hugged Su Yi, leaned her head on his chest, and asked.

Su Yi leaned on Qin Ze's arms, but he stretched out his hand to catch the falling snowflakes on the side. This made Qin Ze displeased, so he grabbed her hand domineeringly and then put it on his face.

Su Yi reluctantly broke free of Qin Ze's hand, and then slid one hand around Qin Ze's chest.

"You don't tell your mother about this, but what do you mean with me?"

Qin Ze's eyes immediately widened when he heard this, and then he couldn't suppress his joy and said, "Mother agreed?" ”

Su Yi said that let Qin Ze talk to his mother, wouldn't it mean that he would be asked to propose. If Qin Ze couldn't hear this, wouldn't he be a fool.

Seeing Qin Ze's excited look, Su Yi secretly stretched out his hand to catch the snowflake, and then sneered and stuffed it into Qin Ze's neck.

The sudden coldness also made Qin Ze's body stunned, but when he saw Su Yi's surprised smile, he also threw himself towards Su Yi with a bad laugh......

The proposal can only be placed next year, according to Su Yi's meaning, at least after he and Wang Yuxi get married. Qin Ze doesn't care about the time, as long as Princess Yicheng can let go, then everything is enough.

After messing around with Su Yi, Qin Ze was also reluctant to let go of her. After all, the two have not yet married, so everything still has to be measured.

After tidying up his clothes, Qin Ze walked towards the main hall of the Hou Mansion. When he came, it was already full. They are all squires from Jingyang County, and some of them Qin Ze has also seen.

Wang Yuxi was sitting on the top of the main hall, listening to the reports of these squires. When he suddenly saw Qin Ze come out, he saw his disheveled appearance, which also gave him a roll of his eyes.

And Qin Ze pretended not to see it, and stepped forward to accept the salute from those squires.

If Qin Ze is a big landlord in Jingyang County, then these squires belong to the small landlords under Qin Ze.

This time it was also because Qin Ze intended to summon them. Li Er handed over the matter of planting white stacks to him, and also gave him a squire of the Ministry of Works, hoping that he could grow a large amount of cotton like in the Turks.

Qin Ze roughly estimated that the white stacked seeds obtained this time should be able to plant more than 2,000 acres. Although it seems to be a huge number, it is still a drop in the bucket compared to Datang.

But these are not problems, as long as the seeds are planted, one day they will be enough to support the entire Datang. There will even be a surplus one day to let Qin Ze try to squeeze cotton oil.

Therefore, in order to ensure that this goal can be achieved, Qin Ze must arrange every planting. Otherwise, if the seed planting fails, it will be a lot of time wasted.

Qin Ze is the Marquis of Jingyang, and he doesn't have a trace of scolding and scolding on weekdays, but once he gets serious, it is not something that these squires can parry.

Qin Ze's request was very simple, let them sort out two thousand acres of land, and these two thousand acres must be in a sunny place, and they must be connected as much as possible.

There are more than 10,000 acres of land in Jingyang County, which seems to be a huge number. But it also includes 3,000 acres of river flats, which are full of rubble and can be flooded at every turn.

In addition, there are more than 2,000 acres of thin fields, and the yield per mu is only one stone, that is, about 100 catties. So even if there are so many fields in Jingyang County, it still can't produce much food.

Now as soon as they heard Qin Ze say that they wanted two thousand acres of land, these squires immediately became anxious. But Qin Ze didn't pay attention to these at all, and when he saw that they wanted to say something, he directly said angrily: "The matter of planting Bai Diezi was ordered by His Majesty, how can you be allowed to do so much, since you want two thousand acres, that is two thousand acres." And if there is one acre of it, and it is found that you are waiting for the indiscriminate filling, then don't blame Ben Hou for turning his face and not recognizing people. ”

As soon as Qin Ze's words came out, those squires were immediately frightened and begged for mercy. You must know that if Qin Ze is really unhappy and really beheads them, then no one will have half a word of complaint.

The squires trembled with fright one by one, but Qin Ze brushed his sleeves and left.

As soon as Qin Ze left, those squires could only plead with Wang Yuxi, Qin Ze sang with a red face, so he naturally asked her to sing with a white face. And this was originally discussed by the two.

"Natural disasters have continued over the years, and there must not be much food left at home. It's just that this matter is a gift from His Majesty, and it really can't be postponed. However, Hou Ye is not an unreasonable person, since this is the case, let's subtract thirty percent of your taxes. ”

As the food of the Marquis of Jingyang, these people not only had to pay taxes to Li Er every year, but also to pay taxes to Qin Ze. Now Li Er has exempted them from paying taxes for three years, and Wang Yuxi has subtracted 30% of their taxes, which is enough to make up for the vacancy of 2,000 mu of land.
