Xiong Wuliang came back from Yue Kingdom with a bulging pocket. He wanted money and people.
The only thing lacking is that the territory is not large enough.
Nowadays, I just take a pillow when I doze off!
The two counties of [Ping'a] and [Shansang] are just north of Quyang County and are connected with Quyang County for easy management.
King Huai of Chu, you are truly my uncle!
"Mi Liang, thank you for the edict..." Xiong Wuliang nodded politely to the servant: "Zhong Hua, reward me!"
Zhong Hua agreed, raised his hand, and coded out a row of gold cakes (copper).
After receiving the reward, the chamberlain happily thanked Xiong Wuliang twice and bowed to Xiong Wuliang.
Zhao Hua, Zhong Hua, Shao Hu and other confidants all bowed their hands to Xiong Wuliang and said: "Congratulations, my lord!"
Spanning three counties and housing nearly 4,000 households... Xiong Wuliang is already the highest-ranking feudal lord in the Chu Kingdom!
Everyone gathered Xiong Wuliang into the mansion and then left one after another.
They are all people with families. Now that they have finally returned to Quyang after three months, they all want to go home as soon as possible to reunite with their families.
Xiong Wuliang said goodbye to everyone, then looked at Zhao Hua and said kindly: "Mr. Zhao, please bring your family members to Quyang from Yingdu as soon as possible."
"When we come to Quyang, Mi Liang will definitely take care of the husband's family!"
Zhao Hua agreed, and then he cupped his hands and said, "The prince has just gone to rest. Zhao also has to make statistics on rewards and pensions for the prince's tribe. The myriad of things are quite complicated. Since there is a limit of five days, we must We have to start as soon as possible..."
Xiong Wuliang smiled like a flower: "I won't disturb, I won't disturb!"
"Thanks for your hard work!"
What a great employee I have! Where can I find such good employees who consciously work overtime and consider the company their home?
Unlike some old fritters who lie flat! As soon as they are asked to work overtime, they will complain that they are tired!
Can you create wealth without working hard? Can we have a good life?
…
Xiong Wuliang rubbed Si Yi's face.
Si Yi's face was red and her voice was like a mosquito.
"Come on, give me a little massage!" Mr. Mi Liang smiled evilly...
after a while.
The satisfied Mr. Xiong stood up from his bed, as if he suddenly remembered something, and said to Si Yi: "Ahem, that..."
"Your father is not dead!"
"Ah?" Siyi's beautiful eyes widened, and her heart suddenly rose: "Sir, do you have any news about my father?"
Siyi had been away from Yue for many years. When she was forced to leave, the political struggle in Yue was intense.
Si Jing was at a disadvantage at the time.
There has been no news for so many years. Si Yi always thought that Si Jing passed away long ago. Although I begged Xiong Wuliang to inquire, he didn't have any expectations.
Now that she suddenly heard the news about her relatives, Siyi was really surprised and happy.
Xiong Wuliang coughed dryly——
It's not that I want to show off.
I just suddenly remembered the blackmail letter I wrote to Si Jing... I felt a little uneasy and guilty...
This Si Jing is really a character.
When you are at a disadvantage, you keep a low profile, hide it from everyone, and then wait for the opportunity to make a move. If you make a move, it will be a fatal move.
If another person had guarded Jianyang City, he might have taken it away.
That is to say, he was unlucky enough to run into him, and was beaten down by his own firepower suppressing method and a dimension-reducing blow, which made him lose his temper.
It's a pity that this talented man was born at the wrong time. If he had been placed ten years ago, he might have been the master of ZTE again.
It's a pity that now, first Si Wujiang sent people to death from thousands of miles away, then the Yue Kingdom started internal strife, and then Qi and Chu divided the Yue Kingdom...
Even if this Si Jing has great abilities, she is just a toy of Qi State now.
There is basically no possibility of a comeback.
According to history, within a few years, the "Puppet Yue Kingdom" will be annexed by Qi State and become a county of Qi State. As for the fate of Si Jing, the temporary Yue king, there is no record in history.
It is estimated that the Qi people will not leave any hidden dangers.
"Your father is very good." Xiong Wuliang thought for a while and said.
"Now he is considered the boss of the [Langya] area..."
Looking at Si Yi's expectant eyes, Xiong Wuliang really couldn't bear to give her hope first and then let her down.
Huh?
Xiong Wuliang suddenly felt something in his heart...
Perhaps, there is something I can do... Not only can I try to protect my father-in-law, who is a cheap man, but maybe it can also help the development of my fiefdom...
…
A few days later.
All the confidants gathered in the study.
Today, Xiong Wuliang's staff is finally full of talents.
The four great kings, Zhao Hua, Zhong Hua, Shao Hu, and Shi Er, each have their own talents. It is the struggle of these outstanding employees that allows Xiong Wuliang to drive a BMW... No, he is the boss.
"Your Majesty, the reward of a thousand pieces of music and the compensation for the deceased have been distributed in full. The disabled have also been assigned to certain positions in factories and farms according to your requirements." Zhao Hua took the lead. Report.
Zhao Hua lost weight visibly to the naked eye.
Obviously, he has been working overtime these past few days, which is quite intense.
Xiong Wuliang was a little ashamed, blaming himself for the nonsense he said about "delivery within five days" in front of everyone, which caused Zhao Hua to become quite intense in the past few days.
"Ahem," Xiong Wuliang coughed twice and encouraged, "Well done!"
"Keep up the good work, I'm very optimistic about you!"
Then, Xiong Wuliang pulled out a few bundles of bamboo slips from the shelf nearby and said with a smile:
"This attack on Yue will take three months—"
"The population brought back from Vietnam is more than 30,000!"
"As for money, food, goods, lacquerware, copper and iron, etc... the total value is conservatively estimated to be 20,000 gold!"
Everyone was beaming with joy.
Including the 10,000 gold sponsored by a certain gambling god, this trip brought back at least 30,000 gold!
This is a huge sum of money!
In a short period of time, you should not have to worry about lack of money.
Xiong Wuliang smiled and said: "The biggest gain is the land that the King of Chu gave me as a reward!"
From now on, the fiefdom of Xiong Wuliang, Lord of Quyang, will not be limited to Quyang.
But the three counties of Quyang, Ping'a and Shansang!
Zhao Hua coughed lightly and poured cold water on everyone: "You don't know something -"
“It’s true that Ping’a and Shansang are both county towns, but these two counties are really extremely poor.”
“Not even one-tenth of the cultivated land area.”
“As a result, the population is pitifully small—the two counties combined only have about 6,000 people.”
"In this way, the two counties are placed under the ownership of the monarch. Although the land area has increased, the overall strength has not increased much - if there is a disaster year, I am afraid these two counties will still be a burden..."
Zhong Hua, Shao Hu, and Shi looked at each other.
My heart sank.
Xiong Wuliang smiled slightly——
What does it mean if the cultivated land area is small?
Since when did we in Quyang County point to the crops in the land to eat?
Isn’t it just poverty?
I, Xiong Wuliang, don’t know how to do anything else, but I am still good at construction!
Tens of thousands of civilians from the Yue Kingdom have poured into Quyang County. Xiong Wuliang is worried about how to arrange it. Now that there is such a large area of land that is vast and sparsely populated, isn't it just right?
Look at labor and capital to build beautiful mountain villages...
"Since the king has granted these two counties to me, I will govern these two counties at least as well as the current Quyang County!"
Zhao Hua cast an incredulous look.
Quyang County, that is a miracle!
Ping'a and Shansang counties are so poor that they don't even have flat fields. How can they build?
I know that you, Mr. Mi Liang, are really talented, but looking at the situation in those two counties, it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice!
Zhong Hua and others obviously didn't believe it.
Seeing that everyone was talking, Xiong Wuliang just smiled and said, "Uncle Zhong, prepare a car for me tomorrow. I want to inspect the new fiefdom!"
