Chapter 298: Development

Su Qi'an abolished their slave status and let them regain their freedom, such a major event can be called unprecedented, and a figure like Su Qi'an, they must swear to follow.

In the entire Jiaozhou territory, only Qi'an City can do this, but anyone who has not entered the water in his brain and can't think about it will not leave Qi'an City.

If you really leave Qi'an City, you don't have to think about it, wherever you go, you will be treated as a slave and reused.

I finally met such a famous god, how could I just leave.

What's more, Su Qi'an really did what he said, not only executing all the people in the city who committed the most heinous crimes, but also sending a large number of Dongshan troops to maintain law and order in the city.

Of course, the name of the Dongshan Army will definitely not be used to the outside world, even if he escapes from the remote Jiaozhou, before his strength is completely strengthened, Su Qi'an will not reveal their identities, including him, who still uses Qi'an's pseudonym and is called the Security Army to the outside world.

In just seven days, the security in Qi'an City is much better than before.

And after registering, Su Qi'an selected four or five thousand people in the city according to the pre-division and a place for them to live.

Of course, at present, Su Qi'an did not live and coexist with the indigenous people and the Liang people, and chose two plots of land to live separately.

The abolition of slavery was a great thing for the natives, but this domestic slavery system had existed for too long, although Su Qi'an had issued an order to live in peace.

But the grievances between the two sides are too deep, and the little priests who ruled before took advantage of the contradictions and grievances between the two, so as to rule secretly and benefit from the rule and rule both sides.

This kind of grievance that has lasted for several generations can definitely not be resolved by relying on a few words from Su Qi'an.

Therefore, for the sake of stability in the city, Su Qi'an temporarily separated the two sides, and when the time came, when he was free, he was looking for Huang Wenyan to discuss and designate a more perfect legal system.

In the past few days, everyone has been busy, and Huang Wenyan has been lying on the desk, flipping through a large number of legal provisions, laying the foundation for the introduction of the system in the future.

Song Biao led his men and horses to be responsible for the security of the city, and Ermeng was external, responsible for the perimeter of Qi'an City.

Tong Zhan was responsible for protecting the personal safety of Su Qi'an and other high-level officials, and Su Yong led the vanguard team to become the main force of reclamation, and worked hard with Su Qi'an.

It's busy, but it's fulfilling, and the feeling of being able to play your part is exciting.

Looking at the busy crowd, the people in the city naturally couldn't sit still, and asked for something to be done.

Su Qi'an was not polite this time, waved his hand, and arranged different divisions of labor for them according to men, women, and children, and different ages.

It turned out that there were only more than 1,000 people, but more than 3,000 people poured in at once, and if you look down, you will find that in the barren Qi'an City, there are busy figures in all places.

Everyone was in full swing, working hard, and Wu Yong, who saw the scene, sighed.

He has served as the county magistrate of Tucheng for so many years, and his appeal in Tucheng is far inferior to Su Qi'an.

Su Qi'an was able to make the people in the city come voluntarily and obey the command, not because of the kindness and kindness of one person.

It is a combination of grace and power, restoring freedom, tax reduction, there is a premise, you must be obedient, if some people have bad intentions and secretly cause sabotage in Qi'an City, Su Qi'an will not be soft on this kind of person, and will punish him severely.

Under this kind of grace and power, Su Qi'an had a sentence that impressed Wu Yong.

"I hope that the people in the city can regard Qi'an City as their home, and build Qi'an City into an ideal home for a better tomorrow."

These words seem to be a bit big, and even idealistic, but Su Qi'an is the first to dilute the concept of private territory, so that the people have a sense of identifying with their homeland.

With this, Su Qi'an's thoughts, I don't know how many people are ahead of this era.

After all, in Daliang, whether it is the priests of Jiaozhou, or the powerful of the family, they treat these low-level people, not even people, and only treat them as objects.

Once the value is squeezed dry, it can be discarded at will, which is a very common thing in Daliang.

But Su Qi'an is different, he wants to treat these low-level people as family, survive together, and build a beautiful home together.

This ideal state reminded Wu Yong of the so-called great harmony of the world recorded by the sages of the past dynasties.

This kind of Datong, which is full of ideals, Wu Yong saw it in Su Qi'an.

Although he has not been in contact with Su Qi'an for a long time, he has been deeply impressed by Su Qi'an's personality charm at this moment.

He once talked to Su Qi'an, whether to merge the Tucheng under his jurisdiction into Qi'an City.

But this matter was rejected by Su Qi'an, the reason is very simple, Tucheng is one of the several counties under the jurisdiction of Qingcheng County.

The current time is not a troubled time, even if Tucheng is small, after all, it is governed by the above, which represents the symbol of Da Liang's rule in Jiaozhou.

If Su Qi'an merges Tucheng, the little priest will definitely not let go of this good opportunity, and he will definitely unite with the priest alliance and sue Su Qi'an fiercely in the state pastor.

If you put a charge of rebellion, then Su Qi'an will be in trouble, and it is precisely because of this that the little priest did not dare to annex Tucheng.

And now keep Tucheng, it will help Wu Yong a lot, if the flood control project of Qi'an City is completed, Tucheng can be copied as it is.

This can be completely solved, Wu Yong is worried about this year's taxes, and he will not be able to collect the headache.

Under the governance of Su Qi'an, Qi'an City flourished, which was only good for Tucheng, not harmful.

The geographical location of the two sides is very close, and many resources can be shared, and when Wu uses this county order, his reputation will definitely rise.

This is what Su Qi'an wants to see, a person is strong, this is nothing, if the people around him are also strong together, this can be invincible in Daliang.

Wu Yong nodded, deeply admiring Su Qi'an's long-term vision, and even more admiring.

Because of the help of the people in the city, the construction period, which originally took half a year, is estimated to be completed in about a month at most.

As long as this project is completed, the second and third phases will be launched soon, and when the flood disaster that everyone regards as a natural disaster can be turned into treasure.

It is difficult to solve the grain plan, which is fundamental, and it is difficult not to develop.

This huge project, in addition to the help of everyone, is more important to thank Qin Ziyin, Lu Xiaowan and others who are silently insisting in Xizhou.

Leaving Xizhou this time, Su Qi'an took away two-thirds of the silver tickets left by Su Ji Commercial Bank.

There are 100,000 taels, although it is not worth mentioning compared with the commercial houses at its peak.

But the silver ticket of 100,000 taels is an important start-up capital for Su Qi'an to gain a foothold in Jiaozhou.

The people in Qi'an City are in full swing, but this project has no income in a short time, so the rations of these people and the expenses of the Dongshan Army all come from the 100,000 silver tickets.

If you rely on these 100,000 silver tickets alone, sooner or later, you will be sitting on empty mountains, so Su Qi'an's next plan is to reclaim the forest behind and be self-reliant.

Su Qi'an stopped the hoe in his hand, watched everyone sweating like rain, with a smile on his face, he looked up and looked at the sky that was still raining.

muttered softly, "I don't know if Ziyin and Xiaowan are okay."

Xizhou, Lingdong County.

On the most prosperous and lively street, a shop was grandly opened, this shop is a cloth shop, called Wanggui cloth shop.

Although the name is a bit strange, they are all bargains, and there are no high-end silks or anything like that.

Therefore, the people who attracted were civilians, and the wealthy sons in the county town were not even interested in watching it, so they left directly in a carriage.

The shopkeeper who opened the door to welcome guests was a thin man like a hemp rod, although he was inconspicuous, but he could speak well and observe words and feelings.

A few words from time to time can attract people to come into the store to buy.

Such a cheap shop, I don't know how many in Lingdong County, will not attract the attention of the wealthy at all, you don't need to look, you can know with a guess, it is a small amount of money opened by a big businessman. Look at the book

This will not be noticed, a three-day opening, camp

The collection is okay, the main thing is good quality and low price, small profits and quick turnover.

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened, and the door was also closed.

The hemp pole shopkeeper turned around with a smile and walked into the back hall.

At this time, in the back hall, there were many people sitting around, as if they were waiting for him.

The hemp pole shopkeeper bowed his hand to the few people in front of him and said softly. "Two ladies, our cloth shop has not attracted attention, and it can be regarded as taking root in Lingdong County."

If Su Qi'an is here, these people in front of him are all old acquaintances, and the hemp pole shopkeeper is a thin monkey.

There were several people sitting in the back hall, including Qin Ziyin, Lu Xiaowan, Qin Huai, Ye Chong and others.

Hearing the thin monkey's report, the two nodded, and then Qin Ziyin said, "What are the movements of those wealthy and powerful families in Lingdong?"

The thin monkey said, "Mrs. Hui, those wealthy families have not made any moves, but as far as we know, they seem to want to buy us hostilely at a low price."

"Well, that's how the local wealthy families are, they will only do these indiscriminate things, no wonder the big businessmen below want to slap them up, everything is according to the plan, if they don't intervene, we are afraid that we will really not be able to grow." It was Lu Xiaowan who spoke.

He knows too well what these local giants do, and that's exactly what they want to see.

Since Su Qi'an left Xizhou, they who stayed behind did not waste time, and have been silently lurking in Lingdong County.

Because of the integration of institutions and the simplification of personnel, their intelligence networks, whereabouts, and contacts are extremely secretive and fast.

With the secret help of Zhou Qi, they survived in Lingdong County.

I'm afraid Tang Feng couldn't have imagined that Su Qi'an's departure didn't help them take it away.

And they just want to be a sharp blade hidden in the shadows under Tang Feng's nose, silently accumulate strength, wait for the opportunity, and if they don't make a move, they will definitely give a fatal blow.

The destruction of Su Ji Commercial Bank and Dongshan Village, the death of a large number of partners, this blood debt, they will definitely not forget.
