My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

There are two reasons why Zhou Mu allocated the territory of the new county to the Qin family and allowed the Qin family to realize autonomy as if it were their own fiefdom:

The first is that he does not want the Qin family to sit around waiting to collect rent and devote all their energy to military training, and let the government affairs and people's livelihood in the new county distract him.

The second is that Youzhou is too poor, and he wants to use tribute silver to strengthen his own strength.

So yesterday, when Zhou Mu saw Qin Junyi arriving in Fucheng, he personally went into battle.

He opened his mouth and offered several times the tribute silver, and also deliberately set up barriers to the Qin family's other demands, asking Qin Junyi to exchange money for them.

Throughout the negotiation process, Zhou Mu focused on making money, making money, making money!

Qin Junyi winked at Qin Mu with a cold smile.

Qin Mu overturned the table on the spot and stopped talking!

Mr. Dongfang hurriedly offered words of comfort, finally leaving the Qin brothers and Chu Yi behind so that the negotiations could continue.

Just like this, you come and go, and after many extreme pulls, the dust finally settled this afternoon.

After signing the agreement, both parties almost collapsed on their seats from exhaustion.

Zhou Mu held a banquet at night to ease the relationship between the two parties, but Qin Junyi declined.

I haven't seen my beloved wife for two days and I miss her very much. As soon as the incident happened, he wanted to fly back to Beiling Village, how could he stay in the city.

So he asked Qin Mu and Chu Yi to attend, and he returned to Beiling Village first.

Su Yunwan listened to him finish the negotiation process in the past two days and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the head of a state would be so greedy for money."

Qin Junyi leaned back in his chair relaxedly, "Actually, if we really comply with the conditions he offered, we will still make money. But I just feel unhappy, and I don't want to feed his appetite and let him eat whenever he gets the chance. Demanding money from us.”

"The current result is quite good, lest Zhou Mu use our money to strengthen his military strength and then attack us in turn. And you took the opportunity to expand your territory a lot, so you didn't suffer at all."

Zhou Mu wanted to make a lot of money, and Qin Junyi wanted to expand his territory.

After many negotiations between the two parties, the boundaries of the new county were nearly doubled compared to the original ones. Now ten miles to the north of Fucheng has become the boundary of the new county.

The tribute that Zhou Mu could receive was half a tael of silver per hectare of flat land initially proposed by the Qin family, but Mr. Dongfang tried his best to get it to be reduced to one tael of silver.

Coupled with the area expansion, the total amount of tribute paid was several times higher than originally planned, which could be regarded as another way to achieve the income that the state herd lion wanted to obtain.

At this point, Qin Junyi sized up the situation, seized the fleeting opportunity, and fought a beautiful victory.

Su Yunwan spread out the map of Youzhou he brought back, saw the big circle drawn on it, and suddenly thought: "Ziyuan, I think this land is enough to draw two counties. How about you divide it into two and divide it into two counties?" Give me one of them. I want to adjust the salary structure of officials, the tax structure, etc."

"Don't say such outrageous things. This entire new county can be reformed however you want." Qin Junyi's face softened slightly and he pinched her fingers punitively.

Su Yunwan didn't quite believe that he was just letting her mess around with him for the first time he had finally acquired the territory, and asked in a suspicious tone: "Seriously?"

"When did I ever say anything to deceive you?" Qin Junyi pretended to be angry and asked.

"That's not true, but don't you want to govern yourself?"

"Without you, this land would not exist today. It should belong to you. No matter what ideas you have, I will fully support it."

Su Yunwan happily stepped forward and gave him a kiss. Just as she was about to retreat, she was held in the man's arms.

The hot breath fell, and the lips and teeth lingered until the two of them were out of breath before they separated.

"I'll go to the kitchen to prepare two dishes, and you brothers can have a few drinks." Su Yunwan saw his eyes becoming more and more lustful, and now it was not the right time, so she wanted to quit.

Qin Junyi did not let go: "Just tell me to go down, don't tire you."

"I'm not tired."

"But rather than craving for food, I want..." Qin Junyi leaned into her ear and whispered something.

Su Yunwan's face turned red, and she yelled: "Don't make trouble!"

......

That night there was a banquet in Fucheng, and the Qin family also had wine and meat, which was very sumptuous.

Qin Junyi called his brothers who had dined with the shadow guard to sit down together and told his brothers and cousins ​​about the results of the negotiations with Zhou Mu.

After hearing this, everyone was in an uproar and raised their glasses to express their surprise, admiration and respect.

Qin Junyi did not refuse anyone who came and drank to his heart's content.

On the other side, Su Yunwan ate at the same table with the female relatives and told them about the new county.

The old lady exclaimed: "So, Brother Yi is going to be the county magistrate?"

"He didn't say that." Su Yunwan felt that no matter who became the county magistrate, she would implement her ideas in place.

After Luo was happy, he regained his composure and said: "Although the state is the largest here, if there is a governor patrolling the border and the court finds out that Brother Yi is in charge of a large area of ​​land and population, I am afraid that he will be accused of occupying the land as a king and intending to rebel. crime."

"Anyway, our family has already been accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason. It won't hurt to add another one." As soon as Lin finished speaking, everyone looked at her.

The old lady was about to explode, but Su Yunwan stopped her with a smile: "We have already had enmity with the royal family, and we are not afraid of them labeling us otherwise. Only by strengthening ourselves can we earn living space. But after all, we are still in the land of the Zhou Dynasty. Come on, just keep these words to yourself, no one should spread them outside."

These female relatives don't know yet that she and Qin Junyi will compete in the Central Plains sooner or later to conquer the country, so now let them breathe in advance.

Mrs. Lin quickly said: "Don't worry, I will never go out and talk nonsense."

Su Yunwan added: "Thank you to the second aunt for reminding me. I will convey it to Ziyuan and let him make arrangements."

Luo Shi was overjoyed when he received the affirmation, and raised a bright smile: "Brother Yi must be able to think of these, I'm just talking about it."

Su Yunwan smiled gently.

The old lady looked at Mrs. Lin fiercely and did not pursue her behavior of damaging the Qin family's reputation.

Mrs. Lin shrank her neck and couldn't help but feel scared.

Qin Ruoshan next to her looked miserable, and a feeling of powerlessness came to her heart.

In the past few days, for the sake of her brother, my grandmother had been kind to my mother, and because my second aunt was by her side, my mother felt a lot more relaxed, so she began to speak freely again.

Why didn't she know that some words could only be understood but not expressed in words.

Could it be that she has been driven by her grandmother for a long time and has developed a servile nature in her body?

Once a slave becomes a master, he will get carried away and put on even greater airs.

After dinner, Su Yunwan returned to the room after washing up, lying on the bed, and couldn't help but think of Luo Shi's words in her mind.

The nine-character policy of "building walls high, accumulating grain widely, and becoming king slowly" will still take a lot of time to be implemented. The people of the Qin family are indeed not suitable to bear the title of county magistrate at the moment.

So who should be in charge?
