"Thirty thousand acres."

Wang Zheng answered honestly, in fact, there was no need for him to cover up for the Jingjiang Palace, after all, Lianzhou was not the fief of the King of Jingjiang, and Wang Zheng did not need to be responsible for them.

Thirty thousand......

Last year, it was 30,000 mu, but now it is 170,000 mu, that is to say, in just a few months, Jingjiang Wangfu has already collected more than 100,000 mu of land, accounting for 30% of the entire land in Lianzhou.

Presumably, it was the arrival of Liu Chengfeng that made countless landlords and squires afraid of Liu Chengfeng's exploitation, and finally put the land in the name of Jingjiang Palace, which was indeed safer.

However, the behavior of Jingjiang Wangfu is really shameless, everyone is a nobleman, although they are princes, Liu Chengfeng is only a marquis of ten thousand households, but the hand of Jingjiang Wangfu is inevitably stretched too long.

Liu Chengfeng squinted, and he was very angry.

After Wang Zheng glanced at Liu Chengfeng cautiously, he said in fear: "Master Hou...... In fact...... Jingjiang Palace's doing this was not intended to target Hou Ye, but ...... Just ......"

Liu Chengfeng said lightly: "Just what? ”

Wang Zheng thought about it, and then said cautiously: "King Jingjiang hereditary Guangxi, since Hongwu has been passed down for four generations, hundreds of descendants, but Guangxi has always been a poor place, although there is a fief, but can not afford to raise so many people, so the King of Jingjiang is much more miserable than other vassal kings, that is, the Mu family in Yunnan is also more generous than the King of Jingjiang, most of the King of Jingjiang is also poor and crazy, when the court was in the past, they did not dare to be blatant, and now Lianzhou has become the fief of the Hou Ye, so it is ......"

Liu Chengfeng pouted, what is the truth? He's poor, so he's here to fight his own autumn wind? And listening to Wang Zheng's meaning, the king of Jingjiang wants to pinch soft persimmons, after all, the land of Lianzhou in the past is related to the taxes of the imperial court, so they dare not be so bold, but Lianzhou has now become Liu Chengfeng's fiefdom, and the nature is different.

Liu Chengfeng said: "Ben Hou knows, the prefect Yamen will clear the land from today, since Ben Hou is a domain, the household registration of the fields and acres must be reclarified, and there is Lord Laowang." ”

Liu Chengfeng did not allow Wang Zheng to refuse, so he immediately looked at the yamen, and said slowly: "You yamen should also be repaired well, what does it look like, just like calling Huazi!" Tell the scribes and servants of the prefect's yamen that from today onwards, go to the Hou Mansion every month to receive a ration, and pay three taels of silver per month. ”

Wang Zheng heard Liu Chengfeng say that he wanted to clear the land and re-check the household registration, he couldn't help but cry in his heart, and secretly smacked his tongue, after all, this matter was very cumbersome, and he couldn't please anything, but Liu Chengfeng's words behind him made him stunned.

Let's talk about repairing the yamen first, the prefect's yamen is indeed in disrepair, Wang Zheng is still very hard here, and now Liu Chengfeng is willing to pay for the repair of this yamen, since it is a yamen, of course, it also includes the inner yamen, the inner yamen is Wang Zheng's residence, if it can be repaired, of course, it is very good.

As for letting the entire Lianzhou government servant and messenger go to the Hou Mansion to receive a reward every month, this makes Wang Zheng ecstatic, the establishment of the Ming Dynasty is actually not much, for example, a government is full of only a dozen people, the county government is even less, there are five is good, as for the other errands, sedan chairs, etc., in fact, they are all paid by the county order, but this reason is different, after all, some of the mansions are rich, some of the mansions are poor, and they are left in Suzhou and Hangzhou, this little money is really nothing, but it is different in Lianzhou, Lianzhou is a place, the people are strong, There are many barbarians, even if they have to scrape, they can't scrape much oil and water, and if they scrape hard, it is not impossible to provoke a popular uprising. …,

Wang Zheng is timid, so the pressure is not small, for example, there are many errands in this yamen who have not paid them for several months, although these errands can get some money from other ways, but it is a drop in the bucket, and the wife and children can't support them, who is willing to work?

Now even a few old mothers and sedan chair men in the internal government have the intention of resigning, for this matter, Wang Zheng was scolded by his wife, people are officials, you are also officials, people are fresh clothes and angry horses, you are good, even the sedan chair bearer is disgusted with you, in the future, you will go out, do you have to walk?

Wang Zheng is really poor, if these errand servants can get some silver from Liu Chengfeng, his pressure will be lightened, which is of course a great joy for Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng also knew in his heart that this Wanhu Hou was so generous, to put it bluntly, it was to envelop him, and use people's money to eliminate disasters for others, Wang Zheng still understood, Wang Zheng hurriedly said: "Hou Ye, the matter of Qingzhang's land, the lower officials must step up their work, Hou Ye rest assured." ”

Wang Zheng made a guarantee, Liu Chengfeng didn't say anything anymore, and he exchanged a few words with him, and then began to talk about the construction of the Hou Mansion, money, Liu Chengfeng has it, every month Jubaolou and Xueer can give him seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver dividends, for him, it is not difficult to spend money to build the Hou Mansion, but to build the Hou Mansion, it is a big project, Lianzhou Mansion is poor like this, most of the craftsmen with a little skill have run away, so Liu Chengfeng has to tell Wang Zheng to find some craftsmen, Lianzhou did not go to the provincial capital, which is the Hou Mansion, of course, the specifications should be high, Liu Chengfeng is not afraid of others gossiping, after all, how much income he has every month, the palace is clear, arrogant, and the palace can accept it, but he has collected so much money but he is not pulling out a dime, which will make the palace suspicious.

When Liu Chengfeng roughly said his plan, Wang Zheng's mouth opened as big as an egg, and he was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a while, such a big house, how much silver does it cost, let alone thousands of taels of silver.

A few thousand taels, this is the idea of a hillbilly, after all, Wang Zheng has been in this mountain nest for a long time, and he has no concept of the current luxury, such as the Nanmu of Yunnan, one is more than a dozen taels of silver, and Liu Chengfeng's budget is 30,000 taels of silver, if it is not enough, it is not difficult to add it up, to put it bluntly, he is here to show his wealth this time.

"You don't have to worry about money, you just have to do things, if you do things well, the Hou Mansion has its own reward." Liu Chengfeng explained and drove Wang Zheng out, he is now at the prefect's yamen, Wang Zheng has to move the nest, clean up a separate courtyard in the inner ya, and let Liu Chengfeng and Chen Hongyu and others live.

In the next few days, the whole of Lianzhou Mansion seems to be watching what the new Wanhu Hou has to do, after all, he is the Hou Ye, and he has come to such a lump place, so he has to toss it, and besides, many things in Lianzhou, some people who know the details are also looking forward to it, thinking in their hearts that this Hou Ye has arrived in Lianzhou, if he knows the situation in Lianzhou, most of them will be angry.

But on the contrary, Liu Chengfeng seems to be very quiet, but it is not easy to talk about quiet, there are many people who come to pay respects these days, the local thousands of households, the hundred households of Jinyiwei, these military attaches seem to have a good impression of the Wanhu Hou, one after another, this Wanhu Hou seems to be a bit like a wronged head, scattering silver everywhere, knowing that everyone is working hard in this mountain bump, sympathetic to everyone's meaning, anyone who comes to pay respects, can go back with a silver ticket.

This silver ticket is the largest 100 taels of silver tickets in Jubao Building, what does 100 taels mean? In Lianzhou, one acre of paddy field is only three or four taels of silver, and the land price here is several times cheaper than that of Suzhou and Hangzhou. …,

We haven't seen the silver ticket of the treasure building at the beginning, first a thousand households took it, and then called someone to inquire, fortunately although it is poor here, but there are still businessmen, people look at it, and immediately said, there is such a silver ticket, go to the provincial capital of the treasure building money village branch, you can directly exchange the full amount of 100 taels of silver out, a lot of money.

All of a sudden, the entire Lianzhou officialdom is boiling, this Wanhu Hou is simply a stupid and money-rich idiot, everyone is in this mountain lump, outside the city is a barbarian, the city is also dilapidated, there are people behind the big businessmen, there are many princes, county kings, and princes who are like dogs nearby, these days are doing a hard job, and now this Wanhu Hou is simply a boy who scatters money, this cheap is not taken advantage of, anyway, everyone who has a little official body is here, even the scholars and politicians of the yamen, actually appear cheekily, these teachings obviously feel a little cramped and uneasy, I felt a little embarrassed again, and when I came, I brought a few catties of bacon, but when I left, it was a hundred taels of silver, which was a lot of money.

Things have come to this point, it is really unexpected, who would have thought that Wanhu Hou would be so bold.

And Wanhu Hou also let out a word, his Hou Mansion will be built on the same day, 30,000 taels of silver are ready, as long as the place is selected, the craftsmen can be recruited, and the construction can be started, and even hinted that this project is huge, and it is necessary to invite someone to supervise the progress of the project, and the person who supervises it is naturally selected among the civil and military officials of Lianzhou Mansion.

30,000 taels of silver to build a marquis' mansion......

How big is the oil and water here, but anyone who uses his brain a little knows that this time, everyone can't sleep, they have been poor for so many years, and their careers are hopeless, what these people want most now is nothing more than to get some silver, and now Liu Chengfeng released this kind of words, making it clear that he wants everyone to take advantage of him, and even someone has calculated the accounts, such a big house, even if it is incorruptible, after it is built, it will be able to get two or three thousand taels of silver, and two or three thousand taels will be exchanged for someone else, maybe it is really nothing, But in Lianzhou, it is a great fortune.

Everyone's eyes were red, and they were all staring at Liu Chengfeng's side, everyone held their breath, waiting for Liu Chengfeng to make a choice.
