Although He Li was angry, he had no choice but to compromise with Qu Zichen again.

"Don't worry, Lord He, Ling Ci'an is fine."

Qu Zichen didn't lie, He Li's mother did stay very well in Zhiyuan Island, and she was entertained with good food and drink every day.

"Lord He, write another letter, just say that you settled Ling Ci here. You don't want your mother to be scared every day, do you? ”

There was no way, He Li had no choice but to do it, after the letter was written, Qu Zichen looked at it, and there was indeed no problem.

Subsequently, he discussed where to put the 10,000 pen fee, and said some specific operations for the things Qu Zichen requested.

"You have to say hello to the prefect of Mingzhou, my soldiers, not conscripts, I don't want to do the work of building bridges and repairing roads. Also, what do I do, let him leave it alone. ”

"Yes, the prefect of Mingzhou doesn't have a backstage, as long as you don't care about the affairs in Mingzhou City and feed him again, he won't care about anything. Even if you're greedy for money. "After all, the taxes belong to the imperial treasury, and the money is your own. As long as the prefect has sweetness, things will be very easy.

"Okay, I still have the right to recruit my own troops, and then command the navy."

"This is easy to do, the Mingzhou Xiangjun has a lot of vacancies, and if you fill it, no one will say anything. It's just that you have to manage the expenses of the navy by yourself, the Mingzhou Mansion has 2,000 soldiers in the army, and 500 places in the navy, and you have to raise more by yourself. ”

In this regard, Qu Zichen doesn't care very much, after all, the soldiers recruited by the system don't need to be paid military salaries at all now, and their food and accommodation are also in the barracks, unless they are on a mission, they want to buy something, when they have a family, or if they have made meritorious contributions, they plan to give some military salaries.

"Yes, I will take care of the prefect of Mingzhou, and you have to say hello to me. The matter of supplying grain to the Qin Mansion will have to wait until around June. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange for you to go in as soon as possible, find a vacancy at will, let you replace you, and then start to get promoted, you just wait for my news, about ten days later, this place will still be."

The two made arrangements for a series of things that Qu Zichen was going to do, and this discussion was overnight, watching the sun gradually rise, He Li also left here, preparing to return to the city as soon as possible.

Qu Zichen looked at He Liyuan's back, then beckoned Zhao Hu and the others, and also rode away.

Qu Zichen won't wait for him here for ten days, he still has something to do.

Besides, who knows if He Li will engage in any conspiracy in the past ten days, or wait until everything is almost done in ten days, and then arrange for He Li to meet with his mother. The provincial people are always worried about Qu Zichen. It can also make him do his best to serve Qu Zichen more wholeheartedly.

On the way to Liujia Village, Qu Zichen hummed again: "Everyone has a soft ......"

Zhao Hu and the others looked at each other, not knowing why Qu Zichen said this.

When he arrived in Liujia Village, Qu Zichen first went to the Qujia compound to see the soldiers stationed there, and after there was no problem, he ordered someone to gather the villagers of Liujia Village.

Looking at the bustling but quiet villagers below, Qu Zichen said loudly: "From today on, the rents of Liujia Village and Xiaohe Village have changed from seventy percent during Liu Feiyuan's period to four percent!" ”

The villagers below suddenly exploded.

No one thought that this landlord, who doesn't show up often, would make this decision, they have been exploited and oppressed by Liu Feiyuan for so many years, and they have become numb, since Qu Zichen replaced Liu Feiyuan as the landlord here, they have indeed made a lot of changes.

However, they thought that it was already very good to be able to maintain the current rent, because every time the Liu family changed owners, it was more greedy than the other, and every time they would try to increase the rent in various names and for various reasons, and the villagers in the two villages were miserable.

The villagers looked at Qu Zichen standing on the dirt slope and immediately felt that his image was much better, but some villagers who were seriously persecuted by the Liu family still didn't believe it, and felt that Qu Zichen would definitely collect more money elsewhere and make up for the reduced rent.

"Master Qu, in the future, we really only have to pay forty percent of the rent, and we don't have to pay the rest, right?"

"Of course it's true, but you have to buy the seeds of rice and wheat from me, and you can't tell anyone that I sell the seeds. If anyone disobeys, I will bring disaster to his whole family! ”

"This year is the first year, I will give him as many seeds as you rent, and you need to buy them yourself in the second year, if you feel bad, you can buy them elsewhere, but the seeds I sell to you, not one of them can go out of these two villages!"

The villagers below looked at each other, they thought that the price of the seeds sold by Qu Zichen would definitely be ridiculously high. But I didn't expect it to be given to them for free.

"Master Xie Qu!"

"Alright, let's all disperse."
