It was getting late, and Qin Yining had to go home.

And Xiao Xiao, the commander of the Tiger Army, could not spend the night in Kyoto, and had to rush back overnight to avoid delaying the military situation.

It was a great adventure for him to come to Kyoto.

In the yard, Huzi had already prepared his horses.

Xiao Xiao bowed his hand to Zhong Da's shopkeeper and said: "You have worked hard to take care of Sister Yi these days, it is difficult for you to be loyal to her in such a situation." She's delicate and worried, and if she doesn't have someone as capable as you by her side, she may be in danger several times. I'm far away, even if I have the heart, sometimes it's beyond the reach of the whip, and I will have to take care of you a lot in the future, thank you. ”

The shopkeeper Zhong hurriedly returned the salute, and said flatteredly: "The prince is too polite, the old man should be loyal to the owner, but he can't afford the prince's thanks." ”

"You didn't betray her when you were in danger, why can't you afford to say a word of thanks?" Xiao Xiao smiled.

The shopkeeper Zhong had mixed feelings in his heart, and he only smiled back.

Yu Guozuo said that the person in front of him was the one who came to destroy Dayan, and he was the enemy, and he should have hated this person.

But for some reason, the legendary fierce and vicious prince is actually a hot-blooded man who values love and righteousness, and the shopkeeper Zhong Da only feels that the rumors are misleading, and he can't have any annoying emotions for him at all, but also admires his openness and affection.

In addition, Xiao Xiao purchased a large number of real estate shops in Kyoto, and the shops in Qin Yining's hands were sold to him, not to mention, he also purchased a lot in private, it can be said that half of the shops in Kyoto City are now his, and the shopkeeper Zhong Da is even more sure that the remarks such as "slaughtering the city" are wrong.

Since the people will not suffer and Kyoto will not be leveled, the treasurer of Zhong Da secretly has an idea in his heart that he hopes that the owl will come over quickly.

The faint monarch and the demon queen have brought disaster to the country and the people, and they have long been unpopular, maybe the life of the common people will be better if there is another emperor.

He wants the country to be stable.

But since the royal family of the Yan Dynasty could no longer guarantee the peaceful life of the people, and they did not treat people as people, the Wei Chi family was no longer worthy of being obeyed.

The two of them were polite again, and they turned to Qin Yining and instructed: "You should pay more attention to safety these days, and try not to go out if you can." ”

"I see. You should also be careful. The gorgeous sunset turned her face red, and the light blue gown on her body was also dyed warm.

Xiao Xiao laughed: "Don't worry, the person who can kill me hasn't been born yet." ”

He stretched out his big hand to touch her face, and wanted to be close to her again, but because of the large number of people, he just patted her head lovingly.

"Sister Yi'er, I'm leaving."

Qin Yining nodded obediently, her bright eyes were full of reluctance, and the straight man couldn't wait to take her on horseback.

Xiao Xiao deliberately turned his eyes away from looking at her, took a few deep breaths to suppress his reluctance to her, took the reins handed by Huzi, turned around and smiled at her, and waved the horsewhip in his hand.

"Gone!"

The two led the horse out of the courtyard, and after going out, they conveniently got on the horse and left.

Qin Yining and Shopkeeper Zhong stood in place and watched their backs bathed in the sunset, until the dusty road returned to calm again, and only the golden land under the sunset was in sight, and then they withdrew their gaze.

Qin Yining's heart was stunned, and his originally relaxed and happy mood seemed to have been poured cold water, and he only felt empty.

Seeing her loss, the shopkeeper Zhong shook his head and said, "Dongjia, I'll send you back, right?" ”

Qin Yining nodded: "The hour is almost up." ”

got into the carriage and avoided the crowd all the way back, Qin Yining was still thinking about his every move in the carriage.

The shopkeeper Zhong Da did not leave his worries, only the excitement of knowing that the capital could be kept, and stroked his palms and said: "In this way, we have no worries." I can also tell my family that I don't have to leave in such a hurry. ”

Qin Yining smiled, "Yes, it's a pity that we can't pass on these news to the people." If I say it, they won't believe it. ”

"If the owner says it, not only will no one believe it, but it will also be branded as treason, which is never a good thing for the owner."

"Yes, so sometimes I am helpless, I obviously see something, but I can't say that those people who should sell their houses and land to escape, or still want to escape. Only when they fled did they feel at ease. ”

Shopkeeper Zhong also nodded, also full of helplessness.

After thinking for a while, the shopkeeper Zhong asked again: "Owner, we have already bought a lot of fields, and now that the shops and houses are in hand, and we have silver in our hands, do we still want to continue to buy fields?" ”

Qin Yining was silent for a long time when he heard this, and said, "When I do this, how can I feel that I am eating the people's fat and the people's ointment to make a fortune in the country?" They bought their fields because they wanted the people to flee with their money. When I go to buy their fields, I don't keep the price too low. But now I know that I won't slaughter the city, but I ......"

"The owner." Shopkeeper Zhong interrupted Qin Yining's words with a smile, "The proprietor is kind-hearted, but if you don't buy it, I'm afraid they won't get the last penny of silver, so they can only go on the road empty-handed." They are bound to flee now, if the city is really destroyed in the future, the ownerless land will not be cheaper than the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty? ”

Qin Yining nodded, and had to admit that what the shopkeeper Zhong said was right.

The shopkeeper Zhong said: "Also, now I just know that the people of the Zhou Dynasty will not slaughter the city, nor will they take away the original people's due property - otherwise the little prince will not change his identity and send someone to buy real estate." But you are still the daughter of 'Zhi Pan'an', and the situation of Zhaoyun Si is special, and it is difficult to guarantee that Emperor Zhou will not confiscate the Qin family's property. Didn't you see that the little prince bought these shops with another identity, I think these properties, he will not let the emperor know. ”

"I see." Qin Yining sighed and said, "What is the price of the fertile fields around Kyoto now?"

"The fertile land around Kyoto that used to be ten taels of silver and one acre is now sold for two taels and no one buys, not to mention the excellent fields in nearby Huizhou and other places, the land that was originally worth twenty or thirty taels of silver is now no one wants five taels of silver."

Qin Yining frowned and said: "Then the big shopkeeper will go and buy it, try to give a reasonable price, around Kyoto, as well as near Huizhou, continue to follow what I said before, I can use all my silver, and turn all the silver into fields." In the future, if there is a chance for these people to come back, at least they can come to farm, even if the land is no longer theirs, they can still have food and clothing as a tenant. ”

"That's right, the owner is not a black-hearted person who exploits tenants, in my opinion, those people who live in Ningyuan can be arranged to go to your fields and manors in the future."

Qin Yining also nodded, "At least, I can feed and clothe them, although I feel guilty and feel that I have made a fortune, but this is also something that cannot be helped." It's just that the big shopkeeper remembers that things are done in detail, and Xiao Zhixi can find you if he wants to buy a store, which means that we don't hide the store deep enough. The affairs of the fields must be hidden strongly, and it is best that no one can find out to us. ”

"Whoa! The proprietor can rest assured, now that I have the bottom of my heart, I know what to do. ”

PS: There are two more shifts today, the group.
