Tian Qi and his entourage came to the City Lord's Mansion in the city under the leadership of the household officials, but the first feeling for Zhongrao was that it was cold, and the silence was too weird.

Immediately, the household officials pushed open the gate of the city lord's city with some trepidation, if Tian Qi and the others hadn't looked at the calm old ghost beside them, they might have thought that there was an ambush in the city lord's mansion when they looked at the expression of the household officials. But the trembling appearance of the household official is easy to give everyone infinite reverie.

The City Lord's Mansion is not very large, and when the household officials came with Tian Qixing along the way, they also told everyone that the other courtyards around the City Lord's Mansion were occupied by the officials in them, and now that they have left, the surrounding courtyards will also come out with the vacancy.

But when everyone followed the household officials into the city lord's mansion, they felt very empty, and Tai Shi Chi and Shengqi who were voices took the initiative to take the reins of Zhongrao, turned around and led the horses down.

At this time, the household officials were even more panicked and worried, but they still took the remaining Tian Qi and the four people to the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

But everyone who stepped into the hall suddenly turned black, even if they were prepared in their hearts, they were still defeated by the shamelessness of Tian Rong's family, and they instantly understood why the household officials had such a nervous expression before.

Even the usual old ghost's expression that had not changed for ten thousand years, at this time, his face twitched, and the people of Tian Rong's family did too much, and then spread their divine thoughts to all parts of the entire City Lord City, but they found that they were all the same as the situation in the City Lord's Mansion Hall.

Tian Qi looked at the embarrassed and ugly people, except for the dust on Lin's face, the entire hall was empty, there was no need to leave a place for everyone to sit, and even the rats would cry and leave when they came.

The household official looked at everyone's ugly expressions, and said with apprehension and bitterness: "Lord Township Shuai, the lower officials are just a household official, and before they left, they said that the objects in the mansions were all purchased by themselves, so they left as if there was nothing left, and the lower officials did not dare to hinder them!"

Tian Qi looked at the only remaining household officials and said, "If you give those officials enough time to leave, do you plan to demolish the City Lord's Mansion for me, and are you going to let me rebuild the City Lord's Mansion by myself?"

"Lord Xiangshuai, the City Lord's Mansion is the symbol of Lingqiu City, I believe they don't dare to demolish the City Lord's Mansion. The household servant wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, and he was afraid that he would be angry with him because of this.

"Hmph, don't dare to demolish it, I'm afraid it's not that I don't dare to demolish it, but I don't have time to dismantle it at all" Tian Qi thought of Tian Rong and the others and snorted coldly, but looked at the honest and terrified household officials, but waved his hand and said: "This is none of your business, don't worry, I won't accommodate you because of others." ”

Jin Nian, who was on the side, was also a little angry, after all, the actions of Tian Rong and the other factions this time were too disgusting, but then he pulled Duanmu Ying on the side and said, "Ziying, let's go!"

Duanmu Ying was pulled out of the main hall by Jin Nian, and the old ghost stood indifferently beside Tian Qi, but Jin Nian and Duanmu Ying quickly returned, and then they didn't know where to move the two stools.

After putting the stool down, Jin Nian and Duanmu Ying went hand in hand again, and the two who walked out of the main hall also happened to run into Tai Shi Chi and Sheng Qi, who were tied to the horse.

Tai Shi Chi and Sheng Qi hurriedly came to Jin Nian and said: "Sister Jin Nian, just now I and Sheng Qi took a look at the City Lord's Mansion roughly, but the City Lord's Mansion is simply scraping the ground, as long as it can walk, none of it has fallen, and even the Mu Zhuang who is tied to the horse behind has been dug out of the ground. ”

"I know, all this was done by the officials of Tian Rong's family before, and they moved all the things away. Jin Nian nodded lightly.

Then Jin Nian ordered with a serious face: "Tai Shi Chi, you and Sheng Qi go out hunting, prepare our dinner tonight, I will go with Ziying to buy the items used, we must restore everything in the City Lord's Mansion as soon as possible, I believe that there are still many spies in Lingqiu City who are watching our jokes, so we can't let Gongzi lose face no matter what." ”

"Yes. Tai Shi Chi and Katsuchi immediately agreed.

Everyone understood that the people of Tian Rong's family did this with the intention of disgusting them, and they just wanted them to be ugly, so everyone Rao had a wave of anger in their hearts.

Then the four of Jinnian left the city lord's mansion one after another, and Tian Qi and the old ghost in the main hall were listening to the household officials report on the situation of Lingqiu City, but the old ghost was the old god standing aside, and the household officials also let go of their inner worries at this time.

After all, the officials who left before can be said to have slapped the township marshal in the face, so he was also worried that the township marshal would vent his anger on him.

And now the household officials looked at the approachable Rao Township Shuai, and at the same time breathed a heavy sigh of relief, they were also extremely glad that Lingqiu City came to think that the township marshal was kind, otherwise the people who were already living in the aquatic and fiery Lingqiu City and Dong'e Town, if they met the brutal and unkind township marshal, it would be a disaster for everyone in Lingqiu City and Dong'e Town.

The household officials reported the affairs of Lingqiu City like a few treasures: "Ten years ago, we received news from Linzi Wangcheng, Lingqiu City and Dong'e Town were already Darao fiefdoms, and after the previous township marshal war, all the officials were competing for the position of the township marshal, but the officials gave up the competition. ”

And then all the officials seemed to have received some secret letter, and then all the officials packed up their things, and all of them left Renlingqiu City in front of the three of them, and they had already taken them away. ”

After Tian Qi listened to the general story of the matter, in fact, Tian Rong and his family left from the officials, but it saved him a lot of trouble.

After all, he Tian Qi has calculated the entire fiefdom, even if they don't leave, he Tian Qi will find an opportunity to get rid of all the officials of Tian Rong's family, if they don't leave, there are people who are entangled in Lingqiu City and everyone is against him, then it will give him a lot of trouble.

Then Tian Qi looked at the household official and said, "Since you are the household official of Lingqiu City, what is the population of my Lingqiu City, and what is the situation of Dong'e Township?"

"Lord Hui, there are now more than 2,000 households in Lingqiu City, with a total of more than 8,000 people. Among them, there are more than 3,000 women and children, 1,500 are over 60 years old and young people who are crowns, 1,500 are immature children and women who have not yet left the cabinet, and the rest are 2,000 young and strong laborers, which is the main force of the Lingqiu City Guard. ”

"As for the situation in Dong'e Township. The household official glanced up at Tian Qi and continued: "There are ten pawns (villages) under the command of Dong'e Township, and there are 3,000 households, with a total of more than 10,000 people, of which there are more than 4,000 young and strong laborers, and the rest of the lower officials are not very clear. ”

Tian Qi also understood the general situation, and it was not very different from what he knew in Linzi City before, so he nodded and said: "Then you will inform the ten commanders under the command of Dong'e Township that they will gather at the City Lord's Mansion at the beginning of tomorrow morning, and this son has something to announce." ”

"It's my lord, my lord's command should be remembered!"

And Tian Qi waved his hand to let the household officials retreat first, but when the household officials completely left the city lord's mansion, the old ghost opened his eyes and looked at Tian Qi and said, "Childe, what are you going to do?"

"Old ghost, then how many elite armies do you think I can build by relying on the tax revenue of the fiefdoms under my command, while fully developing the strength of the people under my command. Tian Qi calmly looked at the scenery outside the main hall and said.

The old ghost didn't think about it and said: "Now the tax revenue of the fief is less than five thousand gold a year, and the city and other expenses need more than one thousand gold, and now the expenses and cultivation materials under the command of the prince need to cost ten thousand gold every time they are near, and this is still the result of not accelerating the cost, so there is still a gap of six thousand gold each." ”

"So the meager tax revenue here in the fiefdom is simply a drop in the bucket, so even our current ordinary expenses are not enough, let alone the development and growth of strength with the help of the fiefdom!" Tian Qi also shook his head with a smile and laughed at himself: "The most important thing is that there is a Wei State on the side, and whenever the autumn harvest is over, the Wei State will also send a large army to grab the grain, causing the people below to suffer unspeakably." ”

"Childe, what are you going to do?" said Jin Nian and Duanmu Ying.

"I want to change the law!" Tian Qi's eyes were firm and sharp, and he said: "Since this place is not suitable for the law that Qi is using now, then I will change the system that is suitable for this place." ”

Even the old ghost looked at Tian Qi, after all, it is not so easy to change the law, among them, it is the change of Guan Zhong of Qi State, or the change of Wu Qi of Chu State, and the change of Shang Ying of Qin State, and even Shen Buxiao of South Korea to change the law, they do not have a simple role.
