"What do you mean by 'doing men's things'? Also, I also have to learn the bad habit of marrying a concubine? ”

After Mei Berry finished speaking, Chu Ruxiao's throat was a little "itchy", and he wanted to cough twice to show embarrassment.

"Qi Jinghao, this person is a wealthy local businessman in Zhuzhou, because Emperor Yan Qing promised the merchants of the four eastern states that he would take advantage of the east wind to participate in the imperial examination, and was exiled as an official after ranking in the top ten of the second class.

Because the family has quite a lot of assets, the Qi family is the full support of the whole family, all the way back to Zhuzhou, and has served as the prefect of Zhuzhou for more than ten years. ”

"Wait."

Listening to Chu Ruxiao's investigation, Mei Berry was stunned: "Can you serve as the prefect in one place for so long?" ”

Plum Berry felt that something was wrong when she heard this.

"Naturally not, but the Qi family has silver."

Plum berries: ......

Ah, the original money ability!

"In the past ten years in Zhuzhou, Qi Jinghao has not only done things that are beneficial to the Qi family, but also cheap things for Zhuzhou merchants.

Over the years, Zhuzhou's tax revenue over the years has been among the top three in Dacheng, of which eighty percent has relied on commercial taxes.

The ruler is not so clear, but this person is used to balance.

The major wealthy merchant families in Zhuzhou have a good impression of Qi Jinghao, and the Qi family even moved the other party to the main branch, and doing things outside is also because Qi Jinghao has made a lot of good friends. ”

"What about the people? For rich businessmen and rich people, Qi Jinghao is really good, but what about the people? ”

Plum berry is more curious about the life of the people here.

Although she seems to be good all the way, maybe this is just what she sees, and there are many bad things in the invisible places.

"Hmm......"

Speaking of this, Chu Qixiao also paused, and glanced at Xie Changchen while Mei Berry didn't pay attention.

After Xie Changchen nodded slightly, Chu Ruxiao continued: "Zhuzhou has a strong business atmosphere, and the people's enthusiasm for cultivating land is not as good as that of other states, and if the family has small assets, they will think about doing business. ”

In fact, from their point of view, it doesn't matter if this state is like this, if the whole Dacheng is like this, I am afraid that it will not be a mess.

But if you can't say it, the people here are indeed much better off than in other states.

"Ah, I want to ask if there is such a thing as collusion between officials and businessmen to oppress the people and encroach on the fields."

As for whether to do business or not, whether to plant plum berries or not, I think Xie Changzhi must have a countermeasure.

Nor is she the kind of person who sees only taxes and does not see the consequences of the dysfunction of business and agriculture.

However, this is still up to the professionals, and Plum Berry has no position on this.

She is more concerned about the background of a businessman like Qi Jinghao, and whether the officials and businessmen colluded only to make profits for the rich after becoming an official, so as to oppress the people.

"That's not true, although this person takes shortcuts in some aspects, but he can be regarded as a good parent official for the people's livelihood.

Besides, Zhuzhou is also a big piece of fat, and everyone wants to take a bite. If Qi Jinghao had made a big mistake in civil affairs, I am afraid that he would have been pulled down long ago.

It is precisely his years of hard work in Zhuzhou that he has twisted the main wealthy merchants in Zhuzhou into a force, so as not to let King Wei secretly infiltrate a lot and thus get out of control. ”

Although it seemed that the Qin family was about to be beaten by the King of Wei and the merchants who had defected to the power of the King of Wei, there were still many families in Zhuzhou who were not implicated.

"Except for the Qin family, most of the businessmen who are extremely rich are also extremely protected by Qi Jinghao."

Chu Ruxiao mentioned merchants other than the Qin family.

The Qin family is rich and famous in Zhuzhou and even Dacheng, but in fact, when you go to Zhuzhou to learn about it privately, you know that there are many invisible super-rich people in Zhuzhou.

People don't like to show it off.

"Sounds like this guy has what he can do."

Plum Berry also had to agree that this person was actually quite smart, but he was a little stupid in front of himself.

Seeing this, Chu Ruxiao also smiled and said, "Perhaps, giving you someone is the most wrong thing he has done over the years." ”

After that, Chu Ruxiao also teased Mei Berry and Xie Changchen.

When it comes to giving away plum berries, it is inevitable that the black face will be embarrassed.

"If it weren't for the behavior of Wang Jiyao and those people, Qi Jinghao and the others would probably still wait and see."

Xie Changchen came here this time and did not directly reveal his identity to the officials in Zhuzhou, mainly because most people in Zhuzhou took refuge in them, just because they looked better than King Wei.

It's not really sincere.

Many families in Zhuzhou don't care who occupies Zhuzhou.

The king of Wei is strong, and they don't dare to openly oppose it, and there will be a softening attitude on the face.

It's all just a matter of waiting for the price to be sold.

It was the same when they were willing to support Emperor Yan Qing, but what Emperor Yan Qing did later was too chilling for them.

Moreover, the merchants who indulged in the King of Wei to take refuge in him did not interfere in the matter of the Qin family, but they all saw it.

"The businessmen of Zhuzhou like to make money with harmony and eat soft rather than hard.

The King of Wei indulged those people to do evil, and even the coarse people who didn't know anything were able to seize the property after the defeat of the Qin family......

Such threats and the intention of killing chickens and monkeys have long made these people in Zhuzhou very dissatisfied.

Therefore, after our people landed in Zhuzhou, Qi Jinghao found us to negotiate when he found that our people had very little destructive power to the local area, and the situation was not clear.

Even if we have some difficulties against the King of Wei or the Queen Mother later, they are willing to help.

It's just that everyone didn't expect the Queen Mother and King Wei to give up so soon. ”

Every time I mentioned the reaction of the imperial court and the king of Wei, Mei Berry wanted to laugh, and yesterday Xie Changchen's informant from the imperial court came with the news.

Someone on the Queen Mother's side suggested that the court could take advantage of the fishermen and lead them to continue the battle with the King of Wei.

King Wei retreated, and they probably guessed it, either they saw through the Queen Mother's plan, or they had the same idea as the Queen Mother.

After all, it's such an oolong, and no one wants to make the first move to create such a situation.

"Anyway, in a few days, King Yong and his wife will also come over." Chu Ruxiao mentioned the Yongfang Prefecture troops that gave them a shock this time.

"The army and the prince of Yongfang Prefecture have come out, will there be a risk in the south?"

Mei Berry suddenly remembered that before she left Xianyao, she had also told her thousands of instructions, and King Yong and his wife were afraid that they would also come out and be uneasy.

"King Yong also has the troops of the other three states, you can rest assured of this. Moreover, in the situation in the south, the King of Wei and the Queen Mother will not make rash moves, there are a lot of miasma in the mountains and forests in that place, and they rashly attack the four southern states, and the soldiers in the north will not be able to bear it. ”

"Oh~ too."

Mei Berry used to hear that it was a treasure land of mountain bandits and exiled thieves, but now that they say this, Mei Berry can only sigh that in fact, the ability of Yongwang to secretly integrate is still very powerful.

No wonder he was able to help Mei You kill Dongfang Tai in the later stage.

"You haven't shown your 'true body' yet, when King Yong comes, I think that Qi Jinghao can still recognize him as the boss, and I don't know if he will repeat his old tricks when the time comes."

Plum Berry thought a little immorally.

I heard Yongyuan say that the relationship between her parents is not too good, and when the time comes, Qi Jinghao will really kick the iron plate...... "hehe~"

Mei Berry's unkind laughter from this wave of schadenfreude in advance, Chu Ruxuan and Xie Changchen glanced at each other and quietly shook their heads.

It's just that people don't understand that Mei Berry is stupid, King Yong risked almost being cut by Emperor Yan Qing into a princess who everyone wanted to marry, and this thing is known to the world.

If Qi Jinghao can still do such behavior, then Chu Qixiao has to go back today to check if there are any talented strategists around Qi Jinghao that others don't know......

Qi Jinghao: If I make a mistake once, forget it, will there be a second time?
