Chu Qing received two messages today.

The first one was written by the boys from the Sixth Team of Southern New Lun Prefecture to Chu Qing. When Chu Qing read it, he slapped the table and thigh, and then ran to bolt the door.

This confused Chu Yuan, who was about to go in to talk, and then heard what sounded like the squawking of geese inside.

Chu Qing was so happy that she was about to burst into tears: "What a good boy! The one who cares about his grandmother is a good boy!"

What happened? It turned out that the boys wanted to find some suitable places to expand the salt farm.

If the boss can get an unlimited supply of salt, then they can open a few more salt farms.

After searching for it, I got lost and found a cotton field in a hilly area.

When I inquired about it, it turned out that when it was still the Dong Lun Kingdom, there was a big landowner here with a lot of land. He could not make money growing food. Later, he followed the example of Vos and switched to cotton. Then when he was trading with Daxuan merchants, he said it was Wo

The cotton that comes in is sold at a high price.

So the landlord's family got Daxuan, the "God of Wealth", and the following generations lived a wealthy life!

Last year, Chu Qing went to Voss to collect wool and cotton. There was quite a stir. After hearing the news, the landowner of this family quickly bought the neighboring land.

Now there are just over a thousand acres of land. During the autumn harvest in Jizhou, it is the time for them to sow here.

The boys only recognized that this was a cotton field when they saw the cotton.

Now, the harvest will be ready in another month and a half. The current landowner heard that these people were from "Bao Qing Sheng" and planned to sell cotton to them.

The boys bought more than a thousand acres of land after some "hard-talking" persuasion.

Chu Qing is really laughing! These brats from Team 6 have cultivated a group of qualified talents!

This cotton has been improved from Worth to New South Wales for at least 20 to 30 years!

In other words, after 20 to 30 years of "evolution", cotton in the plateau basin has at least adapted to the growing environment in hilly areas!

This is really what it means to walk through iron shoes, but nothing to gain at all!

Chu Qing finally laughed until he was ready to rest for a while, and then continued to read the letter. The second half of the letter wrote: "Boss, I brought all the money back to you before the holiday. All the cash we have here is used to buy cotton fields. Doudou

I don’t have any money and I’m panicking. Boss, come and help me quickly!”

Chu Qing looked down at the price, and to be honest, it was really not expensive. Just over a thousand acres, ten thousand taels of silver. The key is that it can be harvested in more than a month.

She couldn't sit still anymore! She wanted to personally send money to see the cotton fields!

The second piece of information is a document about promotion. The Xinlunzhou Division under the Ministry of Household Affairs has specially set up a position - Si Mian Yuan Wai Lang, from the fifth grade.

This time it was a real job, and Chu Qing was responsible for the farming technology and supervision of all cotton fields, now and in the future.

Unlike the fictitious position of the counselor of the Ministry of Industry, who was responsible for the technical consultant of the blast furnace construction at that time, it would be fine once it was built. The nature of the reward is greater than the actual significance.

The position of the cotton clerk is very powerful. In other words, it is clear which piece of land is to be planted with cotton. Even if that piece of land is currently growing green onions, it still needs to be pulled out!

In addition, regarding the application, use, distribution, and reform of agricultural tools and livestock, Chuqing not only has the power to formulate rules, but also has the priority to apply for related fees.

All in all, as long as it was related to cotton, Chuqing not only had land rights, but also some financial rights.

This is called real work!

Chu Qing didn't close his mouth all day, just grinning stupidly.

When she was packing her luggage and preparing to return to Jizhou the next day, Hu Hengqiu sent someone to call her.

From Hu Hengqiu, he got another "Appointment Letter". Chu Qing was appointed as the head of the Voss Country Regional Council. He was promoted from the fifth rank to the deputy of Qianhu.

Three official ranks starting from the fifth rank are three salaries. Xiaobao, even if our family quits business, we still have three monthly salaries of one hundred and five taels, and we can live in a big house without spending any money. It is enough to keep up with

My mother and I can live a well-off life.

It's just that Chuqing does not have a dedicated office building, and can only branch out from a few offices in Baihua, New Lunzhou.

Chu Qing took the "Appointment Letter" and left happily.

After returning to Jizhou to make arrangements for Xiaobao, I went to Xinlunzhou to see the cotton fields.

When passing through Anhe County, Xinlun Prefecture, I went to see Bai Hua and insisted on inviting someone for a drink: "Brother (dei)! Help me free up some office rooms. Thousands of households will use them!"

Bai Hua rolled her eyes hard!

"What the hell! Aren't they just on the same level again!" Bai Hua sneered.

"I have three from the fifth level!" Chu Qing now feels as happy as hitting three 2s! Leopard!

Bai Hua is really a little jealous. He was almost shattered to pieces before he got into the rank of Deputy Thousand Households. He didn't make a fuss about it and got from being a non-staff member to Deputy Thousand Households, and he was still "three from the fifth rank"!

Chu Qing looked at the "second-generation official" in front of him: What can you do if you have a good father? Your father can only buy you a fifth-grade one, but we will get three of them by ourselves!

He couldn't keep bullying other people's honest children, so Chu Qing treated him to a good drink at the Blue House, and also gave him several jars of "Jade Liquid and Fine Wine" to deliver to his father.

If Wei Chengyi hadn't been with him, Chu Qing would have been afraid of making Bai Hua cry.

Chu Qing has been living in Xinlunzhou for more than a month. He inspected all the businesses in his family.

All the two hundred boys who had followed him to Voss were brought back and incorporated into the Secret Reconnaissance Division team.

In an instant, there were more than 200 or dozens of members in the "New Lunzhou Office of the Secret Intelligence Service Voss Area Directorate".

Those who were thrown into Voss as "agricultural technical consultants" were also included in his name, which made Bai Hua very angry.

The dozens of "technicians" who originally worked under Bai Hua went abroad with Chu Qing and were no longer under his control!

After all these matters were taken care of, Chu Qing went to inspect the thousand-acre cotton field.

This cotton field belongs to Sanya County, located in the southeast of the county.

Because it is in the south, the temperature is relatively high, and the planting time of cotton is exactly opposite to that of Voss. It is planted in mid-September every year and harvested in mid-March of the following year.

When Hezhi County heard that Chu Qing was coming, he came with the county magistrate to receive him.

The leadership team of Sanya County is native to the former Donglun Kingdom, and not a single person has changed.

Because this county was not popular in the Dong Lun Kingdom, and these people were timid and did not cause trouble. Therefore, they have been retained.

Therefore, whenever there is someone with a higher official position than the county magistrate, he will always come to receive him personally to show his "belonging", for fear of losing his official position.

Also, the soil quality in this county is not very good, it is sandy, and the harvest of grain is not good, and it is also a hindrance in paying taxes. As a county magistrate, he is walking on thin ice.

Hezhi County heard that a Deputy Qianhu of the Secret Investigation Department from Daxuan came to his territory, from the Secret Investigation Department, so he hurried over to take a look.

Chu Qing saw that he was nervous and said directly: "I'm here to take a look at my cotton fields."

Only then did Hezhi County know that the surname had been changed in this area.

But since Hezhi County is here, don't let him come in vain. Let him grant another piece of wasteland next to these one thousand acres.

If he wants wasteland, he will not be embarrassed, and he will benefit from it.

The wasteland was cheaper, even cheaper than Jizhou, at 800 cents per acre. Chu Qing got another 1,200 acres of wasteland. The 200 acres were a fraction of what was given away for free.

Chu Qing now has a real "official status" and cannot accept bribes. Therefore, he solved the resettlement problem of local refugees in Hezhi County and let the refugees come over to work as tenant farmers.

It has been more than a year since the National War ended, but post-war reconstruction cannot be completed overnight. There are still a large number of local people who have become refugees.

After the destruction of the Donglun Kingdom, it was immediately taken over by the army, and the court quickly sent a group of officials to take over the main aspects of the work. There were very few changes in the lower-level officials, but the lives of the people changed greatly.

Changes and reorganizations in commodity prices, land, mineral resources, daily necessities, etc. have caused a large number of people to become unemployed, resulting in a large number of refugees.

This is the reason why Chuqing's Bao Qingsheng Warehouse was able to quickly hire many part-time workers.

However, more people have no way to make a living and are still displaced. This is the biggest headache for local grassroots officials.

Most of them were low-level officials from the original Donglun. On the one hand, they had to deal with the high-level leaders who "airborne" from the Daxuan court. On the other hand, they had to deal with the dynamics of the people that had never existed before. They had little power and little influence, and their words were ignored.

After Chu Qing solved the problem of resettling a large number of refugees in Sanya County on the spot, Hezhi County really felt that burning incense and worshiping the Buddha was the right thing to do.

For Chu Qing, there was now an additional piece of land and an additional group of people. The 2,300 acres of land were just perfect for growing peanuts.

Taking advantage of the good weather, Chu Qing replenished his banknotes with the boys from Team 6 and hurried back to Jizhou.

These cottons need to be shipped back as soon as possible. It's already the end of February now, and it will be early March when we get home. It's time to sow.
