After capturing Dazhou, the central army waved its division to Yingzhou, and there was not much left of the Liangwang rebels, and they were even more defeated. The wives and concubines of the palace fled and were caught, just like chicken feathers.

After taking Yingzhou, the central army swept away the foreign barbarian enemies who crossed the border.

This tough battle has been fought for four months, and it is finally over.

The governor of Liangzhou was killed, and the same governor was sentenced to beheading. The imperial court rushed to the holy decree for 800 li, allowing Lu Tingxiu to temporarily serve as the prefect, and his official position was promoted by two levels, which was the fifth grade, breaking the record of the fastest upgrade in the history of the Min Dynasty.

The county magistrate of Lin County was still on the way to take office, and Lu Tingxiu promoted Xu Mingliang to the county magistrate after weighing it. As for what the future holds, it all depends on his practice.

The war lasted for several months, and the officialdom of Liangzhou was leaderless, and Lu Tingxiu took office.

Xia Qiu's business roots are in Lin County, and Lord Lu is only the temporary prefect, and the future is to be discussed. After weighing it, she didn't sell the shop for the time being, and planned to wait until the situation became clear.

Wu Ze temporarily stayed in Lin County to manage the grain shop, and the hanging pot hall was handed over to the shopkeeper Hong.

Walk in a hurry, everything is simple. In addition to the large stacks of silver tickets, Xia and Qiu left their net worth in Lin County.

Come to Liangzhou again, it is completely different from the bustle and complexity of the last time, and the whole city is a lot of depression.

The combined forces fought the rebels for several months, and although the main battlefield was not in Liangzhou, it was not far from the border line in Dazhou. Hundreds of years of tribal banditry and survival rules in the southwest, no matter which side is the winner, will take advantage of the chaos to loot the people.

In fact, the combined army was indeed like this, after breaking through Dazhou City, not only did they sack Dazhou to celebrate the achievement, but the barbarians even rode their horses to Liangzhou City to loot.

If it weren't for the silver-faced general to stop it, the consequences would not be very conceivable.

And those prescient businessmen or wealthy people sold their property as early as the beginning of cholera, some hid in Lin County to avoid trouble, and some set foot in the Central Plains to find another way to make a living.

In the end, it is the people who suffer.

However, due to the haste of many people, many houses and fields were sold cheaply. The inner courtyard of the prefect is not rich, and it is not convenient to enter and exit, so Xia Qiu wants to buy some other family property.

Don't look at Lu Tingxiu's words, but the imperial court spent a lot of money to send the central army to the southwest, not only to eliminate the power of King Liang, but to regain control of the southwest and end the deformed hereditary official system.

The southwest will be changed to a liuguan system, the power of the major families and tribes will be cut off, and Liangzhou will soon undergo earth-shaking changes.

Xia Qiu is already an out-and-out businessman, she doesn't care about the court, she has to take advantage of the fact that the merchants and the family are still speculating about the policy of the court, and make a fortune first.

However, this is just her assumption, and it is better to verify it.

lost two important officials in a row, the Liangzhou government lost its pillars, and the rest went their own way, no one obeyed anyone, and they were all hereditary families, and they wanted money, money, and people.

On the day Lu Tingxiu took office, the subordinate officials were initially respectful on the surface, but later when they were involved in interests, they suddenly ate dogs, and saw the new prefect sitting drowsy, and some people even fought on the spot.

Suddenly, the public court was like a busy city, and no one would obey anyone with a kick or a punch. When they were tired, they found that the prefect was gone, and it seemed that he was also a soft persimmon, just strong on the outside and dry in the middle.

In broad daylight, Xia Qiu was busy cleaning up inside and out, so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist, and Lu Tingxiu actually lay on the bed and slept a lot.

Xia Qiu sat on the edge of the bed and pushed him, and said angrily: "My lord, the prefect is about to be demolished by them, you really don't plan to take care of it?" "Isn't this bullying, when Hu Yuansu was there before, they didn't even dare to fart, but now that the new officials are in office, they actually make a big fuss in the court, it's just unreasonable.

"They fight if they like to fight, and they don't make trouble when they are tired." Today is just a temptation, and all the lions are too open-mouthed, asking the prefect for this and that.

Many of these officials are family promoters of the Combine Army, and they naturally represent the interests of the family. Now that Liangzhou has changed hands, everyone wants to get a piece of the pie, Lu Tingxiu seems to be easy to speak, but his speech is ambiguous, and their excessive request to carve up the territory of Hu Liao's two families seems to be responsive, but he does not refuse anyone.

There are so many things, everyone wants them, and they will naturally use their usual means to solve them.

Lord Lu seems to be a good person in office, but in fact, the northern army is still sweeping in the southwest, and they have the final say on the vacated territory of the Hu family and the Liao family.

Xia Qiucai didn't care whether they lived or died, and took the opportunity to ask: "My lord, this courtyard is too crowded. There are too many of us to live in, and I want to buy a house outside, and you are comfortable to live in. ”

"You can buy it if you want." Lu Tingxiu played with her hand, "Is the money enough?" ”

Su He smiled, "You put it here with me, there are still some left." ”

"Then buy something better." Lu Tingxiu is used to enjoying it, this inner courtyard has been uninhabited for a long time, it is in tatters, and there is a musty smell everywhere, he is really not used to it.

"You take office as the prefect, so I'm bored at home every day, so I can't let you raise it for nothing, right?" Xia Qiu said tentatively: "What do you think I should do?" "With his little money, he can't feed the family at all.

Lu Tingxiu put his hands behind his head, "As long as you don't break the law, I have an opinion on what you want to do." ”

With his words, Xia Qiu instantly understood.

She didn't bother to clean up the house, so she took the Jin family and Qiao Biwei out for a walk, planning to buy a comfortable mansion.

"Xia Chubby, what are we going to eat at noon?"

Lu Tingxiu was so hungry that his stomach gurgled, but he couldn't even find a figure. At the moment, his face is dark, and he is hungry when he is the county magistrate, but now he is hungry when he becomes the prefect.

After a walk, I found a snake head who was familiar with this piece, Xia Qiu and others looked at a few big houses, all of which were sold cheaply when the rich people fled, and the locations were quite good, one of which was a big house with three entrances, and there was a large garden and pool in the house, and there was a vacant land in the backyard that could be used to grow vegetables.

Not only Xia Qiu was quite satisfied, but even the Jin family liked it when he saw it, but the price was a little more expensive, and it cost 1,000 taels to sell.

Seeing that she wanted to bargain, the snake's head screamed in pain, "Girl, this is already a conscience price, I received nine hundred taels, if it weren't for the chaos of the situation, I wouldn't sell it if it didn't rise to two thousand taels." A hundred taels is just a tea money, and this house full of furniture is more than a few hundred taels. If you hesitate any longer, make sure to turn around and let people rob you. ”

Xia Qiu has seen the furniture, and it is indeed good. Compared with several snakeheads, he is the most sincere, mainly because the procedures are complete, and he is willing to cooperate with the transfer to the government, and he did not hesitate at the moment, counted the things clearly and signed the contract, and made an appointment to go to the government tomorrow morning to transfer.

Seeing that she was a rich master, the snakehead Zhang said again: "Girl, do you want a shop?" I just have a few more on hand, and this time I also want to make a disaster money, gritting my teeth and buying it, this is not the urging of my mother-in-law, I want to sell it and go back to her mother's house in the Central Plains to make another living. ”

Other people lowered the price too low, and he was reluctant to cut the meat and sell it.
