"Yes, since the people of the Jin Kingdom have already run away, we should also go back to our own homes."

"No, I don't agree with you going back."

Zhang Xiaochi didn't think about it, and directly rejected the village chief's proposal.

"Why?"

The village chief was puzzled.

"Village chief, it's normal for the people of the Jin country to be capricious, don't look at us this time we repelled them and signed a peace agreement, but we don't dare to guarantee that they won't invade again."

"Wagang Village is in front of the city wall, and if the Jin people carry out another surprise attack, everyone will be very dangerous."

The village chief said slowly with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"However, we have lived in Wagang Village for the rest of our lives......"

"Village chief, for the sake of future generations, we shouldn't care about gains and losses."

Zhang Xiaochi interrupted the village chief's words and continued.

"Village Chief, please tell you, I will help you find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to settle down, and I will sponsor you to build a new home."

Seeing Zhang Xiaochi's sincere attitude, the village chief hesitated, hesitated for a while, and then said slowly.

"Then I'll go back and discuss it with everyone."

"Well, I'm in trouble with the village chief."

"Xiaochi, I mean, if we build a new home in another place, will it be very difficult for you?"

The village chief frowned.

"Village chief, you are underestimating Xiaochi."

"The emperor has issued a holy decree, and Qingwa Town is now Xiaochi's fiefdom."

"In other words, within the scope of Qingwa Town, Xiaochi can be arranged at will."

The second aunt said proudly on the side.

After Zhao Hongde read the holy decree to Zhang Xiaochi, the news was not revealed, so when the second aunt broke the news, the village chief was immediately stunned.

"His second aunt, what you said is true?"

The village chief's eyes widened, looking at the second aunt for a while, and Zhang Xiaochi for a while.

"Of course it's true, the decree has already come down."

The second aunt nodded.

Hearing the second aunt's confirmation, the village chief suddenly smiled and patted his chest to reassure.

"Xiaochi, don't worry, I promise to persuade everyone to follow your arrangement!"

After speaking, the village chief and his family left in a hurry, and Zhang Xiaochi was not idle, Qingwa Town is now his fiefdom, and he still needs to preside over the post-war reconstruction work.

He personally rode a horse to find a new settlement for the villagers, and after spending half a day, he finally found a good place three kilometers from Qingwa Town.

Next, except for some of the Zhao Jiajun stationed at the border, the rest were arranged by Zhao Hongde to cooperate with Zhang Xiaochi to rebuild the refugees' homes.

This lasted for more than half a month, and finally all the refugees were settled.

Zhang Xiaochi, as the lord of Qingwa Town, plus he is a traverser, after rebuilding everyone's home, he announced a message to exempt everyone from taxes for one year and give everyone a chance to recuperate.

Of course, he also formulated a tax policy after one year, which was directly reduced by half compared to the previous tax collection.

These few pieces of good news made Zhang Xiaochi's reputation in Qingwa Town grow in a straight line.

"Xiaochi, I can understand that you are exempting taxes for one year, but it will be halved directly, isn't it a bit too indulgent?"

Zhao Hongde asked.

"Moreover, the reduction of taxes means that your income will also decrease, and even have to be reversed, after all, although Qingwa Town is your fiefdom, you still have to pay taxes to the imperial court every year, and the taxes paid to the imperial court will not be reduced."

"Uncle, I've thought about it, reduce the people's taxes by half, at most I can't make money, as for money, I can earn it by doing business."

Qingwa Town's population has skyrocketed now, and if it continues to develop, it will become Qingwa County just around the corner, and he is the lord here, so he can use his own advantages to do business, do business in his own territory, and almost form a monopoly situation, as long as the price is right, there is no need to worry about no one consuming.

Moreover, it is not necessarily a bad thing to reduce half of the tax for the people, the people live well, they have spare money in their pockets, they will be more willing to consume, and the low tax policy will attract more people to settle down here.

Of course, he didn't tell Zhao Hongde about this idea.

After all, Qingwa Town was originally within Zhao Hongde's territory, and now it is independent of Zhao Hongde's territory, and as a result, it has to attract people from his place, isn't it authentic to say it?!

"Now that you've thought about it, I won't be nosy."

Zhao Hongde smiled, he glanced at Zhang Xiaochi, and said suddenly.

"Xiaochi, I heard that you are interested in finding a veteran to be your escort?"

"Yes."

Zhang Xiaochi nodded.

"Uncle, do you want to help me?"

Zhang Xiaochi asked with a smile.

"Stinky boy, wait for me here!"

Zhao Hongde scolded with a smile.

"Don't worry, I've got you covered."

"You now have a fiefdom, and there can't be too few people under your hands, if there are fewer people, you will lose your face and the face of the court."

"Thank you, uncle!"

Zhang Xiaochi was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted Zhao Hongde.

"Okay, you go back and accept it, I'll let them go to your house."

"Yes."

Leaving the camp of the Zhao family, Zhang Xiaochi went straight to his home and set off, and when he came to the door of the house, he found a group of majestic soldiers standing at the door.

"It's you!"

When he came closer, Zhang Xiaochi actually found an acquaintance.

"Master Zhang, don't come unharmed."

Captain Qian was burly and stood very conspicuous in the crowd, he took a step forward and saluted Zhang Xiaochi with his fists.

Looking at Captain Qian, Zhang Xiaochi opened his mouth, this is not an ordinary soldier, but the captain of the black sword squad, but Zhao Hongde's trump card, which is equal to the special forces before the crossing, and he is the captain of the special forces, his strength can be imagined.

"Captain Qian, are you responsible for bringing them to me?"

Zhang Xiaochi asked.

Captain Qian heard what Zhang Xiaochi meant, and took the initiative to explain with a smile.

"Lord Zhang, I have been ordered to come and serve as the captain of your guard."

Hearing Captain Qian say it himself, Zhang Xiaochi believed that it was true, but he really couldn't understand why Zhao Hongde was willing to give Captain Qian to him.

You know, even Zhao Qiankun can't command the Black Sword Squad.

"Lord Zhang, the general knows that you will definitely be confused, so let me tell you that I will come over to be your escort captain, in fact, my lord wants to repay your kindness."

"Repay me for your kindness?"

"Yes!"

"My lord, you have saved the young general several times, and you have also saved Miss Ling'er, not only that, but you are also the hero of the entire Dayue country, and it is precisely because of this that you let your subordinates come to you."

Zhang Xiaochi was stunned, and after coming back to his senses, he smiled helplessly, since Zhao Hongde was sincere, he couldn't push it back, otherwise it would only make him hypocritical.

"Captain Qian, I've just wronged you like this."

"Master Zhang laughed, it's my honor to be able to do things with you, why should I be wronged!?"

"In that case, then you're welcome."

"Captain Qian, your current task is to train my escort team."

After speaking, Zhang Xiaochi beckoned to Susan at the gate, waited for her to come over, and then introduced him to Captain Qian and explained the situation.

Looking at Susan's thin appearance, Captain Qian was a little embarrassed.

"Master Zhang, are you sure you want a woman to be the captain of your family's guard?"

"Captain Qian, although Susan is a woman, her true strength should not be underestimated."

After speaking, Zhang Xiaochi motioned to Susan to show Captain Qian a hand.

Susan didn't talk nonsense, walked to the stone lion at the door, and then lifted the big bluestone weighing two hundred catties on the side.

Seeing this scene, Captain Qian's eyes when he looked at Susan suddenly made a 180-degree turn.

"Captain Qian, then you can arrange your time reasonably."

"Yes."

Zhang Xiaochi has decided, and in the future, Susan will personally protect Lin Xiaoxi's safety, and as for Captain Qian, when he is fine, he can help him protect his family.

Back at home, Lin Xiaoxi found Zhang Xiaochi and said that the village chief had asked them to attend the founding ceremony of Xinwagang Village tomorrow.

Zhang Xiaochi has no opinion on this, and even has a trace of expectation in his heart.

Xinwagang Village can be said to be almost 100% restored to the scale of Wagang Village, except for the houses that are brand new brick houses, the rest of the geographical location is exactly the same as before.

Even, they helped Zhang Xiaochi restore 100% of the house he lived in, and even the location in the village is exactly the same as before, which can be said to be very attentive.

The next day, Zhang Xiaochi took Lin Xiaoxi's father and daughter, as well as the second aunt and others, as long as they were part of Wagang Village, they all returned to Xinwagang Village.

Zhang Xiaochi took the stage to speak, and after all the ceremonies were completed, he deliberately returned to his 100% restored 'new home'.

"Husband, this place is exactly the same as where we used to live!"

Lin Xiaoxi looked around, her pretty face full of excitement.

"Well, the same place as before."

Zhang Xiaochi nodded, however, although this place is the same as before, it is estimated that it is unlikely that he will come to live here.
