Chapter 273: Who is the lord?
Xue Xu asked him, "You came empty-handed?" β
Ji Wuyin ignored him, looked at him from head to toe, and found that this old immortal was indeed dressed like a dog now, "Have you been mixing well recently, and you have been mixed in a separate official mansion?" β
"Answer me, did you really come empty-handed?"
Ji Wuyin didn't answer the rhetorical question, "You tell me first, who is your new lord?" "He's been tormented by this question for too long.
Xue Xu persistently asked, "First of all, did you bring food here?" β
"If you don't say it, I won't say it!"
The two old men, who are more than 100 years old together, do not give in to each other in the eye fight, and they are very naΓ―ve.
In the end, Xue Xu was the first to look away, but he said with certainty, "If you don't say it, I know, you must have brought grain, I don't believe that with your business sense, you don't know how easy it is to sell grain in Liaodong County now." β
Ji Wuyin snorted lightly and shot back, "You think if you don't tell me, I won't be able to guess who your new lord is?" β
"By the way, you have made such a great contribution, and your lord only gave you a position as the lord of Hou City?"
Xue Xu drank his tea, ignoring his temptation.
His merits cannot be put on the surface, so he receives the least reward.
However, he is already the scheduled next Liaodong County Inspector Shi. There is a problem with the current Liaodong County Inspector History, and Lord Lu is investigating him. If he makes another meritorious service and does the other party, he will be able to vacate the seat, and he will be able to ascend to the position.
"Also, after all, your lord Qin family is only related to Lord Lu by marriage, and it is not easy to get you a Hou City master book-"
Before Ji Wuyin could finish speaking, he was interrupted, "Who do you look down on when you say this?" I'll tell you secretly......"
Hearing this, Ji Wuyin's eyes widened, "Qin Shizi can actually let Lu Junshou give you a position to supervise history?" "Liaodong County Inspector History? Overseer of the county.
He hurriedly drank a sip of water to suppress his shock, and after a while, Ji Wuyin said, "Qin Shizi is very generous, but it is not in vain that you risked your life to go deep into the Xianbei grassland." β
Old God Xue asked rhetorically, "Who said that my lord is the son of the Qin family?" β
Ji Wuyin was stunned, it wasn't him, it couldn't be!
By all the signs, he didn't feel that his speculation was wrong. Otherwise, why did Lu Desheng want to promote him?
"It's not Qin Shizi, who is that?"
"Tell me first, did you bring any food?"
Ji Wuyin said impatiently, "In the back, the large army of grain is behind!" β
"But I can say that the price of this grain is not in place, and I don't care who your new lord is, I won't sell it!"
Xue Xuqi said, "Can't you give the price, do you still want to pull it back?" β
Ji Wuyin said stubbornly, "Why not? "If you want to take advantage of him, no way!
"I know, my lord will definitely not let you suffer." What a stinky old man who wants money!
"Who is your new lord?"
"Eat first, and tell you after eating. I oversaw the work for a day today, and I starved to death. β
Ji Wuyin's eyes were tired, to be honest, he really wanted to go up and give this old immortal two hits, everyone else had arrived in Liaodong County, and this old immortal was still hanging his appetite! Human?
When the meal is served, there are two bowls of white rice with one meat and one vegetable.
Ji Wuyin also ate a little.
The rice here in Liaodong County does taste good, although it is not as good as his favorite japonica rice.
Ji Wuyin asked, "Hou Cheng is building roads?" "He saw it when he came. Unexpectedly, Xue Xu is currently working as a supervisor to repair roads.
According to his eyesight, they also widened the official road. The width of the current official road is twice as wide as the original, and such a wide official road is very friendly to caravans.
"Uh-huh."
"You don't spare any manpower like this, this year's conscription is exhausted, how can you do the city defense, channels, embankments, etc.?"
Xue Xu looked at him and smiled, "What's wrong with this, my father-in-law, like you, always says that money can make ghosts grind." β
Ji Wuyin agrees with this, money can make the ghost grind, if it can't be pushed, it must be that the money is not in place.
But then again, there are still few people who are willing to pay money to hire civilians to do these jobs, and Xue Xu, the new lord, has a lot of ideas.
Xue Xu lowered his voice, "Do you know how much silver my lord spent on this Hou City?" β
Ji Wuyin looked at him, waiting for him to reveal the secret.
"Not less than that." Xue Xu made a gesture.
Ji Wuyin nodded, signaling that he understood, "One hundred thousand taels, that's okay." β
Now they have not only Houcheng in their hands, but also the entire Liaodong County, which is worth it.
This kind of good thing should be put in front of those families in the south, not to mention 100,000, and then add 200,000, they are all willing.
What's so good? Xue Xu said with a little dissatisfaction, "You think my lord is you, so rich." "Wait, he mentioned this to prove how bold the sixth lady is, and he is not competing with this guy for financial resources!
"Isn't your lord very good at making money?" He wrote to himself before, and one of them mentioned the importance of the investment environment, and those who can understand such a truth should not be bad in business, and they will not be short of money.
And what's going on with this old immortal, this guy didn't hate the rich before, but now he looks at himself and the eyes are wrong.
"If she can make money, she's only sixteen."
"What? Only sixteen years old! Who is your new lord? β
"Lu Songli." This time, Xue Xu didn't hang his appetite.
Afraid that he didn't understand, he also added, "Lu Desheng's little daughter, the sixth lady of the Qin family." β
Ji Wuyin: ...... I never thought that this old immortal would recognize a heroine!
"Wait, she's Xie Zhan's previous fiancΓ©e?" Because he had helped the old immortal to draw a line between Xie Zhan and the Chen family before, he focused on checking Xie Zhan, and remembered that there was such a demerit in the information.
He is old, but his memory is still good.
"yes. Speaking of which, the exile of the Xie clan in Lingnan is still her handiwork......" Xue Xu said everything he knew.
Ji Wuyin smacked his mouth, this method of killing people with a knife is really ruthless. Its control of timing and people's hearts is also extremely accurate.
You must know that at that time, the four princes supported by the Xie family were about to ascend to the throne, but they had the upper hand. She pulled it off her horse.
Nandi is still too far away from Chang'an, Ji Wuyin's people can't inquire about such secrets, and the officials and relatives of Chang'an know how powerful Lu Songli is, but they are all secretive.
"How about it, do you want to be like me, under the command of the Sixth Lady?" Xue Xu asked him.
