The master Bo hurriedly said, "It's a good idea that the great master has learned that there is no penny in the household warehouse. Everyone's salary, maintenance and industrial and food have not been paid this month. In addition, the prices of grain and vegetable prices in the city are rising one day, or even one hour, and it is rising rapidly. Including us, many people in the county town are already unable to expose the blame."
Qin Zhichu waved his hand, "No need to say. Master, you can organize a list immediately and register all the people who are still staying in the county government. Looking back, according to the list, I will come to me to collect the silver. Not much, each person will give 50 taels first."
Fifty taels?
No one dares to believe his ears if he is inferior to his own. You should know that the Duke of Zhou, the annual salary of a county magistrate is less than 30 taels of silver, the annual salary of a county is 1,400 taels of silver, and the additional 160 taels of silver can be used for his own control. The annual salary of a clerk is more than 31 taels of silver, and the additional 80 taels of silver is 1.
By comparing it, you will know how much money it is. However, Qin Zhichu now wants to say that each person will give out fifty taels of silver first, and twenty-seven people will be 1,350 taels. Where did this newcomer come so much money?
Qin Zhichu was too lazy to explain so much to them, "Now, guarding the city is the key. The main force, let me give you one thing, immediately recruit warriors, give weapons and armor, first give me four city gates, without an identity diploma, official road guide, no one is allowed to enter the county town.
The others went to various villages and towns under my jurisdiction, so that those who had not escaped could reach the county town as much as possible. Within half a month, this county will expand ten miles outward based on the current county town, build a wall for the new county town, and protect all the people in Yongding County."
Zhu Bo and others all looked at Qin Zhichu with the same eyes as they looked at him. They built a new city within half a month. What a joke? Even if they used grass to build a forty-mile-long city wall, it would be impossible.
Qin Zhichu smiled faintly, "Today, this county will show you the methods of immortals."
As he said that, Qin Zhichu slapped two talismans on his legs. Suddenly, the wind blew under his feet, and he held him up and flew up. Then Qin Zhichu rubbed his hands. Suddenly, countless silver thunders surrounded him. Qin Zhichu stretched out his hand and roared, and a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, splitting the big stone lion at the entrance of the county government into seven or eight pieces.
"Immortal Master?" The Lord Bo hurriedly lay on the ground. The other officials, yamen runners and others also kowtowed.
Qin Zhichu looked down at the wind at his feet and looked down at the people of Yongding County, "Now you should have some confidence in this county, right? You are not afraid to tell you. This county brought more than 20 immortal masters this time, just to help the people of Yongding County escape the trampling of the iron hooves of the King of Annan army.
You should hurry up and notify the villages and towns under Yongding County and let them move to the new county town immediately. Don’t bring the valuable things. As long as they are willing to come over, the county will send them new ones."
Qin Zhichu robbed money and supplies worth five million taels of silver from Wei Xuchen, and sold the rejuvenation pill to get millions of silver. Governor Ke Xueying promised to give him enough food to support the people of Yongding County for a year, and with these things, the people of Yongding County survived this difficult period.
He witnessed Qin Zhichu using his own eyes to use immortal methods and obtained the Taoist priests, monks, and nuns who Qin Zhichu promised to come with him were also immortal masters. Zhu Bo and others immediately seemed to have taken a reassurance, and they all went away and had more confidence in the future.
Qin Zhichu sent out all the people who could be sent out. He himself was not idle. He wore official robes every day, walked around the streets and comforted the people who were still in the county and did not escape. From time to time, in order to boost the confidence of the people, he still showed some magic. Sometimes, he would let Yu Meihui, Dingru and others show off their skills.
Yu Meihui and Dingru have never rejected Qin Zhichu's request. Others also responded to their requests in view of Qin Zhichu's appearance as an alchemist, and showed their immortal methods like artists.
Cultivators and Buddhist practitioners are known as living gods among secular people. Seeing that the army of Annan King was about to rush over, these people who were frightened and needed to rely on them. The appearance of Qin Zhichu and others immediately allowed them to find support for their souls and the situation quickly stabilized.
Later, at the beginning of Qin, the grain merchants in the county strictly ordered that the county towns must sell grain at a fair price, and those who did not obey the orders were all shackled. At the beginning, the grain merchants simply stopped selling grain to the outside world on the excuse of not having any food.
After Qin Zhichu got the news, he took the yamen run to the grain merchant, "I heard that you still stored 10,000 stones of grain in the granary in the east of the city. You actually claimed that there was no grain to sell? Do you think this county is easy to bully?"
The grain merchant was an old man in his seventies. He was very thin, but he was very energetic and his old eyes were even more shrewd. "Grandmaster, you have wronged the grass people. There is really no food in the grass people's granary. If you don't believe it, you can check it out yourself."
Qin Zhichu smiled, "I won't go to see it, there is no time for this county. I will ask, do you want to open a warehouse and sell it at a fair price?"
The grain merchant seemed very respectful, "The grass-roots family really have no food to sell."
Qin Zhichu nodded and said, "Remember what you are saying now. If this county finds a grain other than food, it will have to borrow your head for it."
After saying that, Qin Zhichu sat at the grain merchant's house and stopped leaving. The grain merchant didn't know what Qin Zhichu had to do, so he could only accompany him carefully.
After a while, Dingru rushed over, "Mr. Qin, according to your request, we have conducted a check on all the buildings in Ningqing County. At present, thirteen places have been found, with a large amount of grain hidden. Together, there are about 500,000 stones. We have marked these places where grain is stored."
As he said that, Dingru took out a map of Yongding County and handed it to Qin Zhichu.
Qin Zhichu spread the map, called the grain merchant over, and pointed to the designated place where they had marked it, "Old sir, there is no place here that belongs to you, right?"
When the grain merchant saw that he was killed by lightning, all the places he used to store food were dug out. He knelt on the ground with a pounce, "Sir, are you mercy?"
Qin Zhichu snorted coldly, "I will give you a chance and spare you again. If there is another time, I will not only requisition all the food you have hidden secretly, but also punish you for your crime of complicating with the enemy and treason. At that time, no one in your family will survive."
The grain merchant lay on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, not daring to make another word of quibbling.
Qin Zhichu took the map and went to talk to other grain merchants. Most of the grain merchants saw that Qin Zhichu had figured out the details and had to submit. According to what Qin Zhichu said, they opened warehouses and released grain and sold them at a moderate price. Only one or two companies refused to admit it.
Qin Zhichu was naturally not polite to these people. He dug out all their grain and shackled all the grain merchants. Originally, Qin Zhichu planned to kill a few people, which shocked the evil spirits in Yongding County, but then he thought that although these grain merchants raised grain prices and disrupted market order, they would not die. From another perspective, it was because the government was not strong and could not transfer grain from outside in time, which led to high grain prices.
So, Qin Zhichu just asked someone to show the heads of the grain merchants' heads to the public, and even asked someone to register the grain confiscated from their granaries, preparing to return it to them after the grain sent by the governor's yamen came here.
In a blink of an eye, a few days passed, and when Qin Zhichu tried his best, the situation in Yongding County began to stabilize slowly. Before he came, people would take their families to escape from the county town every day, and there was no trace of personal information on the street. However, in the past two days, no one had escaped from the county town, and shops on the street were opened, and they became somewhat popular.
In addition, the people of several villages and towns near the county town began to relocate to the county town in a sceptical way. The new city wall had not been built yet, so Qin Zhichu could only temporarily resettle them to the empty place of the county town. Fortunately, the county town was half empty and there were many fewer people. Although they could not be allowed to move to those empty houses, it was easier to find a place for them to settle down.
Just when Qin Zhichu was busy, Xi Yisong, Guan Zhiwen, Gong Xiuzhen, Yan Ning, Guandong God Beggar, Lao Ji and his wife, Sun Delong and others rushed over under the escort of two monks.
What surprised Qin Zhichu was that there was another team in the team that he did not expect. Teng Xiangdong and his family were the ones who brought their families with him, and they also brought many servants.
"Mr. Teng, you are..." Qin Zhichu asked.
Teng Xiangdong smiled and said, "Of course, I followed you to Yongding County to develop. The Caomin family has already gained a unified understanding. From now on, we will follow you there. Although we are not like Lord Guan, who is like Lord Guan and others, we can do our best to do our jobs for you, as long as the Lord is useful to us, we will do our best and be obliged."
When Qin Zhichu heard this, he smiled and nodded, "Okay, Master Teng, you have this heart, and I am very satisfied with this county. From now on, this county will treat you like Brother Guan and a doctor."
Teng Xiangdong was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly pulled his daughter Teng Qing, and his son-in-law Wang Jing knelt down for him, "Thank you, great-grandfather, for taking us in."
Qin Zhichu was indeed missing someone like Teng Xiangdong. This old man not only had a way of doing business, but also had a way of inspiring people. There were so many people in Ningqing County who set up a tablet of immortality for him, and Teng Xiangdong played a great role in it.
