Chapter 88

: Spread money and help the crowd

Seeing that Lolan was a little reckless, Amilia said lightly: "All of these big people, why are they still jumping like a child?"

Zhang Ziqiang smiled and said, "Lolan, I have something to arrange for you to do. You can take my famous post and go to Leshan County, Hai'an Prefecture to invite a few people to me. I am going to set up a Jichashi Department in the county to check whether the officials in the county have violated the law and discipline. At the same time, they must accept complaints from civilians. If you handle it well this time, you will be responsible after you come back!"

He wrote down the names of several people on the paper and handed them to Luo Lan, and told him: "You must practice too quickly, otherwise you will not even be able to use the jade slip in the future!"

When Luo Lan heard that the official seemed to be more powerful than the mayor, and was a specialty officer in charge of the official position. He repeatedly patted his chest and replied, "Please rest assured, I will do it well! Even if I drag them, I will drag them here!"

Zhang Ziqiang laughed and scolded: "Nonsense, be polite, please come here politely! Those are my guests."

After Luo Lan left after he answered his order, he said to Amilia: "You can buy some elixirs and let the research institute take the elixir stages to speed up their cultivation."

"Master, they have been taking pills, and they buy them every month from Birkenhead, the king's capital Sendlandanfang, which is just right for them."

"Oh? Not bad, how long does it take for them to reach the Golden Pill stage?"

"It's two years fast, but it's five years slower, but now they use the Five-Time Spirit Gathering Array, it shouldn't take so long."

"They can't stop the pills. Well, I'll go to the study. Later, I'll hold a cocktail party at home to invite all the nobles in the county. You can arrange it and let the liquor house deliver vegetables."

"Okay, lord."

Zhang Ziqiang returned to the study and saw No. 1 and No. 2 drawing pictures, but No. 3 and No. 4 disappeared. When he thought about it, he realized that they were really inseparable, and there were two people guarding them upstairs and downstairs! He cherished these four people even more. Such caring people are trustworthy and there is no need to hide some secrets from them.

Two days later, there were carriages in front of the Lord of Rositing County's mansion. Not only were more than 180 nobles, but their female companions and more than 60 wealthy businessmen who came to attend the banquet.

The wealthy businessman is a civilian. He did not receive invitations from the lord. They were concerned about the policy policies in the territory, so they planned to listen to the news outside the door and send gifts to express their feelings.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zhang Ziqiang actually welcomed them in person, which made them so excited that they were at a loss. Although they were very rich, they were richer than some counts, but they were civilians after all, and the identities between civilians and nobles were an insurmountable gap!

The banquet officially began, but Zhang Ziqiang was absent-minded when he saw the guests. He knew that they were not here and was concerned about the government orders in charge. So he simply left all the female companions brought by the nobles in the banquet hall. He brought more than 240 nobles and wealthy businessmen to the political affairs hall to discuss the matter first.

"Everyone, thanks to Your Majesty, I will reward Rositing County to me. I have just arrived and have no political experience. I have lived in the county for many years. In the future, I still need your help in the construction and development of this county. I will thank you here first."

"Lord, please be polite." "I dare not act like this, Mr. Hou." The voices came one after another, and Zhang Ziqiang pressed his hand, and the lower part gradually calmed down.

"Please sit down first. Let's discuss some things in the county tonight, so I can go to dinner with confidence, haha..."

When everyone saw that the new lord was not arrogant and spoke politely, they all felt relieved. When they heard that they wanted to discuss the important matter, they sat down as they said.

However, an elderly man was still standing. He gave Zhang Ziqiang a bow first and asked bluntly: "I have met Lord Lord, I am Bill, the third-class marquis of the Kingdom. I would like to ask Lord Lord Lord Lord whether the mountain development matters will be handled according to the Kingdom Development Order? This is also the thing we and others are most concerned about recently."

Zhang Ziqiang looked at Bill. He was really old. He stood there tremblingly, without any arrogance in his eyes. It seemed that these people also knew the laws of the kingdom and were not very resistant. As long as they were willing to communicate, they were not afraid of not being able to get involved with you!

He pretended to be meditating and said for a moment: "Should you sit down first and say, since you are all concerned about this issue, let's discuss it. The kingdom's development order does not apply to Rosyding County."

He said this and glanced at everyone. Everyone looked sad, some were flustered and some were jealous, but they didn't notice the resentful look. He felt satisfied. It seemed that these nobles were of good quality and knew who was in charge of the country now!

"Our county has a small population. In the past, it mainly planted spiritual wood and elixirs, with few workshops and only a few development tool workshops. If it is developed on a large scale all at once, chaos will surely occur. I plan to divide all the developed land in the county and develop it in a planned manner."

When everyone heard this, they saw this, and it turned out that this was what the Lord Lord meant. The foundation of the Marquis Bill family was in Rositing County. Although he had the third-class marquis, he had earned it from his ancestors. He had little influence in the kingdom and wanted to settle in Rositing County, so he paid special attention to Rositing's decrees.

He was a little nervous and asked with hope, "Dare you...Dare you asking what plans are the Lord?"

"Most of the mountains in this county are not high and can be developed. The total development area is nearly 20,000 square kilometers. You used to have a total of about 800 square kilometers of plain land. I will now take out your low mountainous land with a total of 8,000 square kilometers and exchange it with you!"

"boom……"

As soon as Zhang Ziqiang said this, there was a noise below, and everyone began to whisper. At this time, these nobles and wealthy businessmen had no identities. The kingdom development order was to open five and one for two, and the lord directly changed ten. This discount was too great!

Bill immediately coughed excitedly. A middle-aged man next to him quickly patted his back and helped him to get better. However, the middle-aged man also blushed. Zhang Ziqiang pressed his hands and waited for everyone to stop the voice and said in a deep voice: "But I have two conditions."

"Lord, let's talk about it." Bill said hurriedly. He knew that there was no free lunch, and he could agree as long as the Lord's conditions were not harsh!

"1. After you choose the land you want to develop, you need to help me develop a half of the mountain and plant crystal stone wheels to cut forests. In the future, crystal stone wheels to cut forests must be taken care of by you. This family only collects crystal stones, regardless of planting and forest protection."

"Two, all the existing 800 square kilometers of land and the current spiritual wood and medicine belong to me, but before I cut down and pick it, I will help me take care of it. Just these two pieces, how do you see?"

"No problem! This is the grace of Lord Lord. I am not sure what to do?" Bill shouted excitedly.

According to the Kingdom Development Order, we opened five and one for two, and 800 square kilometers. In the end, we only had 5,600 square kilometers. However, according to the Lord's method, we got 8,000 square kilometers, which was a total of 2,400 square kilometers!

Moreover, all major families have divided the areas in advance, and the property rights are clear, so there is no rush to develop. You can do it within your ability and develop it in the year!

As for the two conditions of the Lord, the lord is not worth mentioning at all. The existing spiritual wood and elixirs are less than 800 square kilometers of land. This is the lord who gives them 1,600 square kilometers of land for free! What's the matter of helping the lord take care of the crystal wheel to cut the forest? Didn't the forests in the kingdom be managed in the past?

Zhang Ziqiang had no choice. He really had no one and didn’t have enough money. He relied on the development of 3,800 slaves now. What year does it take? Everyone can make money together. In this way, the spiritual medicine and spiritual wood in the county can be used in a concentrated manner.

These lands belong to him now. How many civilians can 800 square kilometers of land attract? Other counties are afraid that they cannot use land to attract civilians. After the development of the territory is completed, they will exchange four for one, and replace the land of 100 square kilometers in the hands of the small nobles and wealthy civilians on the plains. They can build three or four new cities!

Although his family has fewer people, it also has advantages. Compared with the major duke families, there are fewer property, which is easy to support. If you leave such a large piece of land, you are afraid that you can't afford to support Amilia and others?

"Okay, please count now. How many spiritual medicines and spiritual trees planted on the land can be collected this year? Report a total of them to me."

Each family calculated the number and reported it to Bill. Bill was old and couldn't remember it. The middle-aged man next to him was helping him remember it. After a while, the middle-aged man bowed to him and said, "Lord, I am Benson, the first-class count. My home is in Liverpool Town. The current mayor is my exiled son. The land that you can harvest this year is 160 square kilometers. If the rest is not replanted, you can collect it within twenty years."

"Well, okay, I have my own plans for these lands. Since you have no objection, the development of the territory will be decided, but there are other things?"

The nobles visited today to develop government orders. Now the most concerned issue has been solved. There is no other problem for a moment. At this time, a chubby middle-aged man stood up respectfully, walked to the center of the government hall, bowed to Zhang Ziqiang, and asked carefully: "I have met Mr. Hou, I am Gabriel, the president of the Rossiding County Civilian Chamber of Commerce. I would like to thank you, is the tax on the county transactions collected according to the Kingdom Act?"

When Zhang Ziqiang heard that Gabriel was the president of the Chamber of Commerce, he was very polite. He thought that if he wanted to put this on earth, Gabriel was a sensible figure. Although it did not discriminate against merchants and every noble family talked about business, the status of civilians was not high, and they were rich but not expensive.

He smiled and explained to Gabriel: "Oh, the territory will be unified in the future after the commercial tax, which may be a little different from the current tax laws of the Kingdom. However, in recent years, no matter what kind of tax the territory is, it will only be lower than the kingdom's collection, not higher!"

The merchant valued profit and was good at seizing opportunities. Gabriel could make a fortune by relying on his civilian status, but was good at taking advantage of opportunities. At this time, he saw that the lord seemed easy to talk, and asked carefully: "Thank you for your kindness. The younger one also asks Mr. Hou for your advice. After the Aida family moved away a few days ago, the southern half of the county town was empty. Does Mr. Hou intend to transfer or rent out those empty shops?"
