After three years of enfeoffment, the waste prince shocked the court boss

"Lu Daoji? I seem to have a little impression."

When Cao Youde heard that the other party reported his family name, he realized that such a name did appear in his memory.

In fact, he never cared about Lu Daoji at all back then, so he never remembered.

"You! Good, good, good! This is the official seal of the official, and you still don't pay a visit to the official!"

Seeing that Cao Youde didn't remember himself at all, Lu Daoji was ashamed and angry.

It's like two people, one regards the other as a lifelong rival, but he doesn't take you seriously at all, and even forgets about you. This feeling makes Lu Daoji feel that he has been a joke all these years.

Fortunately, I am a Zhizhou from the fifth rank, as long as I succeed than the other party, I will not lose.

"Oh, meet Lu Zhizhou."

Cao Youde casually cupped his hands, showing no respect or fear.

The expected fearful expression of the other party did not appear, and Lu Daoji felt that he had lost face in front of Sun Shenxi, and was even more furious.

"Why don't you kneel when you see me!"

He had to give Cao Youde a blow to save face.

In fact, it is not common to kneel and worship in Dagan, unless the opponent's grade is much higher than the opponent, he will kneel and bow, usually just bow and hand.

Of course, some flattering subordinate officials would also take the initiative to bow down when they saw the directly subordinate superior officials.

"Old Cao, is this man seriously ill?"

A voice came suddenly.

It was Qi Yong who spoke. This time he was sent by King An to go to Xingzhou with Cao Youde to recruit the people. He was responsible for escorting the people back to Lingnan, and at the same time shouldered the responsibility of protecting Cao Youde.

Seeing that Zhizhou, who came out of nowhere, was so bullying, Qi Yong couldn't help but choked.

Not to mention that he was charged with the king's mandate to protect Cao Youde, even with his personal relationship with Cao Youde, he couldn't helplessly watch Cao Youde being bullied.

"Bold, who are you, dare to insult me ​​like this!"

Lu Daoji was furious when he saw that this strong man in armor dared to insult him.

Qi Yong was wearing hydraulic press armor made by Lingnan Prefecture, which was different from the Dagan standard armor, so Lu Daoji didn't recognize his identity as a garrison general.

"Hey, I'm Qi Yong, the garrison general of the Lingnan Mansion. I'm the fifth rank. Why don't you kneel down when you see me from the fifth rank?"

Qi Yong clasped his ears and said like Lu Daoji.

"Oh, by the way, this is the official seal of the official. You should also take a look. Don't think that the official is deceiving you."

Said, Qi Yong casually took out an official seal and threw it to Lu Daoji.

Lu Daoji looked at the official seal in front of him, and after confirming that it was correct, he opened his mouth wide, not knowing how to speak.

"Why is a fifth-rank garrison general and Cao Youde, a seventh-rank county magistrate, called brothers?"

Seeing Cao Youde being defended so clearly, Lu Dao couldn't understand why.

"Okay, Qi Yong, don't make trouble."

Cao Youde pulled Qi Yong's arm.

"Your Highness asked me to protect you. I'm not afraid that you will be bullied."

Qi Yong muttered that he was unwilling, but he still retreated behind Cao Youde.

Seeing Cao Youde directly calling the garrison general's name, the garrison was not only not annoyed, but even obeyed his words, Lu Daoji felt that everything in front of him subverted his cognition.

"Aren't you the seventh-rank county magistrate? How can you be so rude to the fifth-rank guard?"

Lu Dao subconsciously asked the doubts in his heart.

"Hey, Lao Cao is the first county magistrate of Daqian, appointed by His Highness himself! You, the magistrate, are not worthy of him."

Qi Yong who retreated to the side couldn't help interjecting.

"The first county magistrate of Daqian?" Lu Daoji looked confused.

Chapter 35

"Although Lao Cao is still a seventh-rank county magistrate, he is extremely trusted by my Highness.

Now the government affairs of the entire Lingnan Prefecture, one prefecture and four prefectures are managed by Lao Cao. "

Qi Yong said loudly.

It is appropriate to say that the title of the first county magistrate of Dagan was a joke that Li Su casually made at the beginning, but it was used by Qi Yong at this time.

"As a county magistrate of Qipin, he is in charge of the government affairs of one prefecture and four prefectures? How could that happen! There has never been such a precedent in the imperial court!" Lu Dao couldn't believe it.

"How can it be impossible? The imperial court in Lingnan Mansion didn't appoint prefects and prefects.

Ever since my prince became a vassal, this Lingnan Mansion has officially come under the jurisdiction of the government.

Since there are no officials sent by the imperial court, it is natural that whoever is in charge of His Highness is the chief official of Lingnan Mansion.

I, Qi Yong, will recognize the chief officer appointed by the prince! "

Qi Yong folded his hands on his chest, taking it for granted.

As a military general, Qi Yong may not be the bravest, but in Lingnan, the worship of Li Su is definitely ranked first.

When Dilong turned around, Lingnan lost contact with the imperial court, and Li Su paid all the military pay for the guards in Fucheng.

Later, Li Su asked Qi Yong to take the soldiers under him to buy shares in some workshops. The current treatment of Lingnan defenders is completely different from that of three years ago.

Even if Li Su wants to rebel now, Qi Yong and his soldiers will guard Li Su without hesitation.

Hearing what Qi Yong said, Lu Daoji felt as if he had received a heavy hammer in his chest.

According to what Qi Yong said, isn't Cao Youde even more powerful than the magistrate!

Compared to him, his Zhizhou seems to be a joke.

Just now I was still teaching Sun Shenxi how to be an official. The platform is the most important, not the grade.

I didn't expect it to happen to me so soon, my face was slapped.

"Even so, how could you come to my Xingzhou to trick the people into your Lingnan mansion!"

Lu Daoji quickly changed the subject.

"Why do you lie, I promise the people in Lingnan will do it, and I can even stand on the spot as evidence."

Cao Youde said.

"Okay, then let me ask you, as you said, every household has tens of thousands of catties of food in storage.

You must know that if there is too much food, it will be worthless. How can you solve the problem of cheap grain hurting farmers! "

Lu Daoji deserves to be the magistrate, pointing out the problem.

"The price of grain in my Lingnan Prefecture does fluctuate, and it is indeed lower than other places, but there is a minimum price protection.

The people's output increases, small profits but quick turnover, and they earn more than they do now! "

Cao Youde said lightly.

"Well, let me ask you again. You are in poverty in Lingnan and lack of supplies. Did you let the people of my Xingzhou go to your place to farm besides farming?"

When Lu Dao thought of this, he gained confidence and waved his sleeves.

"Yeah, my family has been farmers for generations, and I still want my children to go to school, so that they can honor their ancestors like those masters."

"That's right. Although we usually need to go to the county to buy something, at least there is a place to buy it. If we go to Lingnan, it may be difficult to buy farm tools."

Some people say.

"Could it be that Mr. Lu is an official behind closed doors? Can't you see that all the merchants on the official road are transporting goods to my Lingnan Mansion?

All kinds of goods produced in my Lingnan have opened up trade routes to the capital.

Glass, soap, mirrors, and spirits were even more sought after by the dignitaries of the capital. "

Cao Youde sneered.

"Ok?"

Lu Daoji looked back at Sun Shenxi in doubt.

Sun Shenxi nodded and said: "Recently, there are indeed several times more merchants traveling to and from the official road than in previous years. It seems that they are indeed going to the direction of Lingnan."

"Now the supply of goods from Lingnan is in short supply, and the goods brought in from other places are becoming more and more abundant. You don't think that the people in Lingnan are drinking their blood?"

As soon as Cao Youde turned around, he pulled Qi Yong who was watching the play next to him, and continued:

"Look at the armor and swords, they are all produced by my Lingnan Prefecture, with your smelting technology in Xingzhou, it is possible to produce such quality armor and sharp weapons?

Even if the people in my Lingnan Prefecture don't farm, they just go to work in the workshop, and now they can still get a salary of three taels of silver every month.

"Also, my Highness has opened a primary school and a secondary school in Fucheng, and will open a university school in the future.

People in Lingnan, regardless of gender, age or age, can go to school to study as long as they want to, and they don't get a penny.

If you go to my Lingnan, not to mention the children at home, even you can go to school to study.

As long as the middle school can be successfully completed, all the major workshops and shops in the city will rush to buy it, even becoming an official is possible, so why worry about the future for the children? "

Cao Youde said to the onlookers again, his face full of pride.

This is the change brought about by Prince An's coming to Lingnan for three years. It is all thanks to His Highness that Lingnan has gone from nothing to full of hope.

Qi Yong also unconsciously puffed up his chest.

Only these old people know what earth-shaking changes have taken place in Lingnan in the past three years.

That man has created miracles again and again in Lingnan Mansion.

The onlookers were all attracted by the scene Cao Youde depicted.

They couldn't help but fantasize that in the future, they would go to Lingnan Prefecture and have their own land, children could study for free, and they would go to work in the city during the slack season.

The people in Daqian are all affluent, and the life depicted in this picture has made them unimaginable.

"In addition, His Royal Highness King An said that all Xingzhou residents whose whole family moved to Lingnan Mansion within one month can get a settling allowance of 20 taels of silver per household, only before the end of this month."

Cao Youde dropped another blockbuster.

As soon as these words came out, all the people onlookers cried out in surprise.

20 taels of silver are already a year's expenses for ordinary people in Xingzhou, and this Lingnan Mansion is so rich!

"I would like to move to Lingnan with my lord!"

"I would too!"

"Count me in!"

The onlookers expressed their opinions one after another.

When Li Su proposed to give each household 20 taels of silver to settle down, Cao Youde and others thought it was too much.

But Li Su said that a family counted as five people, and each person was divided into four taels, and 10 taels of silver could attract [-] people to settle down, which is just like picking up for nothing.

Besides, those recruited people will end up spending in Lingnan Mansion, so they can't actually lose that much.

After such a calculation, Liu Lin and Cao Youde also felt that it was not a loss. After all, the treasury seemed to have too much money, and there was no place to put it if it was not spent.

Rich, rich!

"It's over!"

Hearing this, Lu Daoji fully knew that this matter was out of his control, and no commoner could withstand such a temptation.

This Lingnan Mansion is completely throwing money at people!

Lu Daoji was unsteady and almost fell, but fortunately he was supported by Sun Shenxi.

"You guys are bullying too much, I'm going to find the magistrate to make the decision!"

After Lu Daoji finished speaking, Sun Shenxi assisted him and slipped away in desperation.

And Cao Youde and others are busy starting to help register the information of the people, and no one cares about Lu Daoji's going or staying.

It's just a state magistrate, the magistrate Cao Youde didn't take this matter to heart at all.

The same recruitment scene happened in various places in Xingzhou.
