Datang: Dad, I really didn't want to rebel!

Chapter 14 I'm Really a Little Clever Ghost

Chapter 14 I'm Really a Little Clever Ghost

Early the next morning, hundreds of donkey carts and nearly a thousand people gathered at the gate of Qianzhou City.

More than 100 of them are merchants, while the remaining hundreds are guards.

There was not much grain left in Qianzhou. In order to prevent famine, Li Chengqian asked more than a dozen wealthy households to form a caravan, so that when they came back, they could bring back more grain!
The wealthy households didn't understand why Li Chengqian suddenly asked for so much grain. Before, Shen Liang only needed ten carts each time, but this time, he asked for more than 50 carts!
That's why they sent more than 100 donkey carts.

Such a large-scale caravan will definitely attract the attention of robbers outside Qianzhou City. Just in case, Li Chengqian sent [-] guards to ensure the safety of the caravan.

"Everyone, I hope that as many of you as you go out will come back, so please be careful on the road!"

Li Chengqian stood on the city wall, looked at the people below, and began to give a passionate speech.

After a long speech, with the sound of the order, the team of thousands of people set off in a mighty manner.

Seeing their leaving backs, Li Chengqian returned to the Governor's Mansion.

"Ding Dong, it is detected that the host has a weekly sign-in opportunity, do you want to sign in?"

As soon as he sat down, Li Chengqian heard a familiar prompt.

With a happy face, he chose to sign in without hesitation.

"Ding Dong, congratulations on getting ten catties of sweet potato seeds, ten catties of potato seeds, and ten catties of hybrid rice."

"Farmer*100, servant girl*50, god-level character*1."

This time I signed in, I got a lot of good things, which made Li Chengqian dizzy.

"What is this god-level figure?" Li Chengqian asked curiously.

"Ding dong, the system will immediately select a god-level figure to join the host."

Li Chengqian rubbed his chin, "God-level person, he should be quite powerful..."

As he said that, he used this god-level character card.

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host for obtaining the god-level assassin *Jing Ke (yes, the super assassin who co-founded Rap with Qin Shihuang)."

"According to the rules of the system, after the character appears on the stage, he will take the initiative to imbue him with memory and be loyal to the host forever."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian began to look forward to it.

Jing Ke, that's no ordinary assassin, but... a famous assassin.

With him by my side, it feels much safer.

After successfully summoning Jing Ke, Li Chengqian brought out another fifty servant girls.

Now the Governor's Mansion only sent maids, and Li Chengqian couldn't trust the person he was looking for outside, and all the people in the system would remain absolutely loyal to him, so there was no need to worry that some troublemakers would harm him.

"There are still a hundred farmers..."

Finally, Li Chengqian set his sights on farmers.

These farmers are all people with rich farming experience, and it happens that the system returns a lot of seeds, which are all food.

Today, one mu of land in Datang can produce 180 catties of rice, while an ordinary family of four consumes about one kilogram of rice a day, which means that one mu of land can support an ordinary family for three months at most.

This is still the most ideal state, belonging to the first-class fertile land.

Ordinary people are basically low-grade fields. Although the government gives each family [-] mu of land, after paying taxes and deducting oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, they will find that a year is nothing.

The land rent in Datang is actually quite light, and if there is a disaster year, there are various reductions and exemptions.

The Tang Dynasty stipulated that in case of floods, droughts, pests or other natural disasters that reduce grain production, as long as the land exceeds four floors, the land rent will be exempted.

If the disaster is more serious and the crop yield is reduced by six levels, then taxes will also be exempted, and if the loss exceeds seven levels, labor will be exempted.

There was a severe drought in Qianzhou this year, and the people had no crops. Many people began to eat wild vegetables. Until now, they have eaten up almost all edible things except humans.

That's why Li Chengqian can't wait to let the rich households buy food and come back. If they continue to be so hungry, who knows if the common people will rebel.

In one month, it will be the planting season. At that time, we will call the farmers out and let them plant sweet potatoes.

"What a clever little ghost I am!"

Li Chengqian silently gave himself a thumbs up in his heart, and then went to chat with Su Han about his life.

All the matters in the governor's mansion are handled by Liu Cao, and if they cannot be resolved, they will find Li Chengqian.

There are basically no major issues now, so Li Chengqian can take a break.

"Xiaohan, I have released the news that we will find the maid soon, and then you don't have to work any more," Li Chengqian said.

"Um…"

Su Han nodded with a smile on his face.

But at this moment, if Li Chengqian felt something, he immediately stood up, "They are here."

At this moment, fifty young women were standing at the gate of the Governor's Mansion.

When Li Chengqian appeared at the door, fifty women bowed and shouted: "Master."

"Well, yes, you should take good care of the Governor's Mansion in the future!" Li Chengqian nodded.

"Yes!"

With fifty maids, the governor's mansion finally became lively, and Li Chengqian and Su Han began to enjoy the feeling of being served by others again.

Hmm... What satisfied Li Chengqian the most was the cooking skills of the maids, which were delicious in color, fragrance, and taste. Even a tricky person like him couldn't fault it.

After eating and drinking, Li Chengqian was considering whether to do something interesting with Su Han, but suddenly a servant girl came to report that there was someone like Wei Shushu looking for him outside.

"Looking for me? Someone I don't know in Qianzhou."

Li Chengqian murmured, then got up and went out.

"Your Highness, I'll go with you." Su Han also followed behind him.

When they arrived at the gate of the governor's mansion, they saw a middle-aged man in a black robe with a dagger pinned to his waist.

"Who are you?" Li Chengqian asked.

The middle-aged man knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice, "I'm Jiang Qing!"

"Ah?" Li Chengqian was taken aback, "I don't know you."

The middle-aged man raised his head, "Master, I am Jing Ke!"

"Damn it, Jing Ke..."

"Hey hey..."

Su Han tugged at Li Chengqian's sleeve, and whispered, "Your Highness, is he a fool? Jing Ke has been dead for thousands of years, how could he be Jing Ke?"

Li Chengqian touched her hand, then looked at Jing Ke, "Your name is Jing Ke, right?"

The middle-aged man continued: "Master, my original name is Jiang Qing, and I changed my name to Jing Ke later."

"Well, in order to deceive others, I will still call you Jiang Qing from now on. Also, don't always call me master, master. Just call me young master." Li Chengqian said.

"Yes!" Jiang Qing lowered his head.

Seeing Li Chengqian chatting happily with this guy who called himself Jing Ke, Su Han couldn't help pouted.

Did His Highness stay in this ghost place for too long, and his heart was so aggrieved that he suffocated his head.

This Jiang Qing looked like a liar, yet His Highness was still so polite to him.

Having said that... I heard that men are prone to problems if they hold back for too long. His Highness has never touched her, and he has never accepted other concubines. Could it be because he hasn't released the pressure for too long, so it's stuck in his head now?
Thinking of this, Su Han frowned slightly, her little thoughts began to come alive, and she had to find a way to solve His Highness's worries and problems.

Naturally, Li Chengqian didn't know what the concubine Mei behind him was thinking. At this moment, he was immersed in the joy of getting a capable person.

That fat man, you wait for me, I will make you kneel on the ground and sing conquest in the future!
At the same time, in the Palace of Wei Wang thousands of miles away.

Li Tai was studying diligently, and suddenly couldn't help but sneezed a few times.

It happened that Liu Ji walked in at this time. Li Tai immediately put down the book and asked hurriedly: "Doctor Liu, have you received any reply about the matter?"
