Suche held this small iron coin, and there was an indescribable power on it.
Incense and money are not a rare thing. Many shapeless demons like to use this method to collect their will power.
Today, in order to replenish the national treasury, copper coins are changed to iron coins, which is known as "the country can use enough without adding taxes".
Mr. Su is not sure whether the court's money is enough. After all, he does not have to deal with his bad debts for the emperor.
But things caused by this junk iron money are everywhere.
Weighing the iron coin gently, Suche put it aside.
"You said Sikong Tu is collecting these things?"
"After the great disaster, the plague was rampant. Sikong Tu ordered his demons to use talisman water to treat people's illnesses in various places. Each person only received one coin."
"Before drinking the talisman water, the demon will ask the people to pray according to their rituals, and then put them into the barrel. The demons collect these coins, but they don't know what kind of thoughts they have. I think it is very important at this time. With today’s public sentiment, I am afraid that a little carelessness will lead to chaos.”
One coin is really nothing. Although Daliang's virtue is getting worse every year, every household can still spend hundreds of coins.
One coin can cure the disease. Su Che suddenly remembered a line from a movie in his previous life. I really didn’t expect that the demons under Sikong Tu were so vicious, and they actually treated the common people.
But what they collected was not just one coin.
There is still a little bit of willingness on the part of the people lingering on the money.
The power of wish is very magical, and Xuanmen monks are generally unwilling to get involved with it. Some extreme Xuanmen sects even regard it as a snake or scorpion.
Except for Shinto, which is based on this power of wish, only the great monks of Buddhism can use the power of wish.
What does Sikong Tu think? Does he want to be a god?
Su Che looked at Zhu Yi and said, "Is this matter very involved?"
"I don't know what it is like elsewhere, but you can see it everywhere in Cizhou. Even near the city, you can see people drinking talisman water."
Suche tapped the table lightly.
Sikongtu had a big appetite and even wanted to swallow the whole Cizhou in one bite.
He is determined not to accomplish such a big thing with just a fifth-grade golden elixir. There must be someone else behind it.
But who is behind this is worth pondering.
"Sikongtu dug a big hole in Wenning County?"
"Yes, the ghost soldiers under his command dug many pits in the wasteland outside Wenning County, and warmed the corpses of newly deceased people from neighboring counties in them."
"good."
Young Master Su looked at Zhu Yi and said, "You have worked hard on this journey."
"It is the duty of subordinates to serve the Young Master."
"There's no such thing as duty and non-duty."
Suche opened a wooden box from the table, took out two pieces of paper and put them on the table.
"You and Lao Lu have worked hard with me during this period. I'm afraid there will be a lot of complaints at home. I'll leave you some heirlooms and give them to my wife back home to prevent them from complaining about me secretly."
Lu Bai and Zhu Yi stepped forward and saw that they were two parcels of land deeds.
"There was a disaster before, so my family harvested some connected paddy fields in Tian'an County. You two will each be divided into 900 acres. This is also a way for our descendants to be neighbors in the future."
Nine hundred acres of fertile land?
Lu Bai and Zhu Yi were both Tiqi descendants from their ancestors. Although their families could not be said to be rich, they still had a small fortune.
But the total land under his name is not more than 900 acres.
"Sir, this, this is impossible..."
Lu Bai quickly refused.
Nine hundred acres of fertile land, this figure cannot be said to be unimaginable to them, but it is indeed an unexpected windfall.
"Lao Lu, you were the first to follow me. It stands to reason that I should give you more."
"Sir, we definitely don't mean that..."
Lu Bai was a little panicked for a moment. He really had no idea of ranking based on seniority, but he was really a little panicked when these 900 acres of fertile land fell into his hands silently.
"It's a subsidy to support the family. What can the two dollars given by the court be enough for?"
Su Che smiled and looked at the two of them: "With nine hundred acres of fertile land around us, the two of you just discussed with Madam-in-law how to get it, wouldn't Madam Ru be able to have a stronger waist?"
Zhu Yi laughed, but he picked up the land deeds with both hands and put them into his arms.
He had the shortest time with Suche, and it was the least burdensome to pick it up.
It should be the settling-in allowance given by Third Young Master Su.
"In this case, Lao Zhu accepted it."
Lu Bai looked at Su Che and accepted the land deed.
Suche was very indifferent.
Taking advantage of the catastrophe, almost a quarter of the cultivated land in Tian'an County fell into Su Che's pocket. Although the names were all under the name of Weiyuan, they were all the private property of Mr. Su.
Now, allocating a few acres of land to the people below is just a random act.
Su Che took a sip of hot tea and looked at Lu Bai and Zhu Yi who were overjoyed, but he was thinking about something else.
There are three thousand avenues in the three-inch human heart.
The word "greed" affects everyone's heart. Lu Bai and Zhu Yi liked it, and so did the original owners of these lands.
It’s just that with this coming and going, there will naturally be gains and losses.
This is a normal thing in the world, but if someone is too greedy, he will not only want to be full, but also eat to the point where others have nothing to eat.
Then don't want others to want your life.
Cizhou will be in chaos.
Of course Suche could feel it.
But Suche didn't want to interrupt Sikongtu's plan now.
At this moment, Sikong Tu was considered an invisible partner of Young Master Su.
Su Che wanted to cause Sikong Tu to cause trouble and let Jiankang's mischievous court taste the bitter fruit he brewed. Let those people who have been exploited until they have nothing find a chance to vent their anger.
And if something changes in Cizhou at this moment, the situation will be even more interesting.
At least the disappearance of Prince Wuling may have to be put aside for now.
Suche couldn't help but smile as he thought about it.
"You two should go home and adjust first. Come to my place tomorrow. Don't go to the Yamen for business in the past few days. We still have to discuss the matter about Prince Wuling."
"All those in humble positions obey the prince's orders."
"If I have any instructions, just tell them truthfully."
Suche smiled slightly: "If anyone else asks about this matter, just don't know. If the court sends people to interrogate, you can tell the truth."
"Tell me the truth?"
Lu Bai and Zhu Yi looked at each other and said no at the same time.
Zhu Yi was even more flexible and bluntly stated that the matter could never be told truthfully to the court.
Just kidding, Zhu Yi felt that if he just accepted it and told the truth, he might not be able to get out of the Su Mansion today.
"it's not a big deal."
Suche comforted the two people who looked quite excited and said: "Recuperate first when we go back. I think it won't be long before we make big moves."
"What do you mean, Master?"
Lu Bai looked at Suche.
"You said that if Sikongtu rebels tonight, who can our Wang Changshi point at? Who can the Daliang court rely on?"
