No matter what era it is, land will always be a precious factor of production.

The land can produce food, grow medicinal herbs, and build workshops, and it can even be said that every inch of land is valuable in key areas.

Many of the officers of the Shenwei Army also bought land in Lingzhou and became landlords, but not much, and the Shenwei Army occupied less than one-twentieth of the land in Lingzhou on the whole.

The total amount is very large, and the proportion is very small.

This is not because the officers have no money, but because they never keep it.

Officers are prone to sudden windfalls, and when they fight, the capture is to divide the property, and if they defeat the enemy once, it is equivalent to making a windfall.

Equipment, ordnance, elixir, etc., everything.

An army is equivalent to a moving treasure, and no amount of money is enough.

After the officers became rich, they often squandered all their money for the purchase of equipment, pills, cheats, gambling, prostitution, etc., and the merchants who followed the army always had a hundred ways to dig out the money in the pockets of the air officers.

If my father-in-law hadn't started the sale of private salt, Chu Huanghu's family would also be ordinary military households, and there would be no property left in the family except for hardcore crops.

Because most of their family property is in equipment and pills, if their parents die in battle and have not recaptured the corpse, it will become someone else's trophy.

Therefore, the army has set up a special military property bureau to forcibly withhold one-tenth of the meritorious service and help them exchange it for field property, and the officers do not participate in the operation, and get the relevant field property dividends every year.

This is also one of the war guarantees of the Shenwei Army, which is part of the military industry.

For the officer family of the Shenwei Army, even if there is a loser in the descendants, there is always a bite to eat, so that they will not fall into the streets and become a young man.

In addition to the army, most of the land in Lingzhou was controlled by officials, families, sects, and a small number of yeoman farmers.

The army's land, of course Chu Qianqiu would not fight their idea.

There are also a lot of fields in Hokkeji Temple, but they are their own people, so they can't fight.

The Yuanyang faction does not have many fields, mainly a few hills, with alchemy as the main business, and at the same time, their inner disciples, true disciples, if they are not powerful, or not the landlords near Baixiang Town, after the Yuanyang faction succumbs, they can be regarded as half of their own people.

Don't rush to hit their minds for the time being.

After all the calculations, only the Wang family remains.

The Wang family is a scholarly family, and it has been operating for hundreds of years near Baixiang Town, but it is a branch of the Wang family in Jiangzhou, and its strength is actually very strong, and it can directly pull out a group of private soldiers to exterminate a congenital master like Li Chengxin, and even weapons can be taken out.

Although he has something to do with the military, he is not loyal enough, and more importantly-

The Wang family owns nearly 500,000 acres of land.

"500,000 acres of land, Wang Baichuan, you can't exaggerate."

"Back then, the Maha Temple was so much meritorious, and Emperor Taizu only gave 3 million acres of land."

"Does the Wang family really have so much land?" Chu Qianqiu asked Boss Wang with some surprise, that is, Wang Baichuan, the illegitimate son of the head of the Wang family.

He is a person who knows the times, so when Chu Qianqiu asked him if he was willing to take revenge on the Wang family, or to become his own lackey to deal with the Wang family.

Boss Wang agreed without hesitation, and gave the amount of the Wang family's land, a surprising number.

"Young Master Chu, this is different."

"The property of the Maha Temple is tax-exempt, and the property of the royal family is taxable."

"The Wang family is a scholarly family, and when they have money, they will annex the land."

"In the earliest days, the royal family set the rule that shops could be sold, jewelry could be sold, and land property could not be sold."

"Over the past few hundred years, natural fields have yielded a lot of fruit."

"Not only Baixiang Town, but also Yanbo Town, Qingshi Town, Ganlu Town, etc., all have the Wang family's land, which is naturally amazing when combined."

"Especially in recent years, more and more farmers have gone bankrupt."

"A few years ago, there was a famine, and the Wang family helped the ya

Door disaster relief, by the way, I bought a lot of land."

Boss Wang hurriedly revealed the details of the Wang family like pouring beans.

"No wonder it is said that this Wang family is the largest landlord in Baixiang Town, and it is indeed worthy of its reputation."

Chu Qianqiu sneered, no wonder Master Wang gave birth to one illegitimate child after another regardless of decency, he really had a rich family property, and he was afraid that he would not have a suitable heir.

500,000 acres of land is the stable cash flow of the Wang family, providing a large amount of grain every year, not only supplying Baixiang Town, but also supplying the grain and grass of the Shenwei Army.

"Young Master Chu, these 500,000 acres of land are not all growing grain."

"There are also vegetables, herbs, and pastures."

"On average, you can earn 3 taels of silver per acre of land."

"How much money can you make from farming?" Chu Qianqiu asked suspiciously, that long-term worker works for the landlord Lao Cai for a year, and it is only 2 taels of silver.

As a result, the Wang family could earn more per acre of land, which made Chu Qianqiu a little unconvinced.

"Ordinary farmers naturally can't make this money, they only dare to grow food."

"This Lingzhou rice is expensive, if they can't pay the imperial grain, they will have to eat the whip of the official."

"But the Wang family is full of confidence, and some of them are land for growing grain, so they are not afraid that they will not be able to pay the imperial grain."

"And the profits of growing vegetables are much higher than grains, not to mention ginseng, angelica and other herbs."

Boss Wang is worthy of being the illegitimate son of the Wang family, and for the Wang family's business, it is like a mouse in the rice tank.

It's good, I really didn't find the wrong person.

The Chu family lacks talents like you.

Chu Qianqiu nodded with satisfaction, although Wang Baichuan is not a thing, he is very literate, he is a character who came out of the Wang family's private school, and he is a little witty.

It is also a good choice to let him help manage a mess of the industry.

If not, you can change people again.

Wang Yinian, the housekeeper of the Wang family, and his son Wang Liang are all talents, and it is best for the three of them to restrain each other, so that Chu Qianqiu can gradually control the Wang family and tie them to his chariot.

"Wang Baichuan, you are really a talent."

"I won't hide it from you, this time I want to buy some land from the Wang family to use for some experiments and operations."

"Let you do things for me."

"The Wang family will not sell the property, this is the lifeblood of the Wang family." Wang Baichuan shook his head with a wry smile, although he believed in Chu Qianqiu's ability, but what kind of power the Wang family was, he knew better than anyone else.

"If I say I'm going to buy it, he'll sell it."

"You follow, or you don't." Chu Qianqiu smiled faintly.

Now his identity is different, and he can give most of the people in Baixiang Town a reason that they can't refuse.

"I'm with you! I listen to Young Master Chu!" Wang Baichuan gritted his teeth, if he wanted to take revenge on Wang Rong's old bastard, it would be impossible without Chu Qianqiu's help.

"Then follow me."

Wang's compound, living room

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

The person who greeted Chu Qianqiu was not Wang Rong, the head of the Wang family, but his eldest son Wang Ren, his most famous deed was to play the trick of robbing the people's girls on the street, so that the six doors of the catcher slashed quickly, and there was an extra scar on his face.

Now the scar seems to be squirming on the face, showing the anger of the protagonist.

"How dare you open such an opening in front of my royal family!"

"100,000 acres of land, in exchange for silver, can flood you!"

Wang Ren laughed angrily, his father was not here today, so naturally he was the eldest son of the family to meet the guest.

It is said that it is the newly appointed Baihu Chu Qianqiu of the Shenwei Army.

What kind of obscuring characters did he dare to blackmail the Wang family at that time, it was simply bold.

I don't know if our Wang family is related to the Prime Minister?

"That's true, I'm here to do business with the Wang family."

"I don't want much land, just 100,000 acres."

"The prince can't be the master of this business, so he asks the head of the Wang family to come out and speak." Chu Qianqiu picked up the teacup, took two sips, and said calmly.

"Wang Baichuan, you dog, now you recognize the master......

"Presumptuous!"

"Dad, you're here!"

"Ahh

Before Wang Ren could speak, Wang Rong made a light effort, walked over, and directly kicked his eldest son to the wall.

Why did Daddy beat me?

Before Wang Ren could react, Wang Rong had already dragged him down from the wall and knocked him to the ground with a thud:

"Lord Chu, the dog is ignorant, please don't remember the villain!"

"This deal, my Wang family agreed."
