Jingmen, the Chu family compound.
As an old house with hundreds of years of history, the compound covers an area of no less than a hundred acres, with three floors inside and three floors outside. In addition, there is a Uburg.
When Qin Yun saw the "House of Good Deeds" plaque hanging on the door of the Chu family, he couldn't help but smile.
Chu Yunqing on the side bowed and introduced: "Your Majesty, this plaque was given by Taizu of the current dynasty. At that time, Taizu was still a commoner, and there were constant disasters in the previous dynasty. Taizu traveled to the boundary of Jingmen and saw my ancestor of the Chu family. He spent all his money to give porridge and asked if he could lend him some money to go back home."
"The ancestors generously presented Taizu with silver and dry food. Later, Taizu revolutionized the world and passed by the Chu family on his southern journey. He recalled this and wrote this inscription in his own hand. Our Chu family has always regarded it as a treasure and hung it here for future generations. Pay homage."
Qin Yun smiled: "I didn't expect that there are such allusions. A family that has accumulated good deeds must have its blessings. Now the Chu family has eight in and eight out, and it is more impressive than my prince's palace!"
As soon as these words came out, Chu Yunqing suddenly broke out in sweat: "Your Majesty, if you don't like it, I will order it to be demolished immediately!"
Qin Yun waved his hand: "Okay, why dismantle it? Besides, when did I say that I am not happy anymore? I am just feeling a little emotional!"
Chu Yunqing was a little embarrassed. He actually wanted to please Qin Yun, but he didn't know where to start. However, he thought of what his second uncle said.
Chu Yunqing cupped his hands: "These days, the prince has banned weeds, which has set an example for the people of Chaozhou, and also made my family's group of brats who don't know the world have a better memory. The common people have prepared 30 million taels as a reward for the army, and also Please accept it, Your Majesty!"
Qin Yun squinted at the middle-aged man in front of him. Thirty million taels was a lot, equivalent to Qiongzhou's annual tax revenue.
Sure enough, the Chu family knelt down faster than he expected. Qin Yun had no reason not to eat the meat that was delivered to his door. He turned around and motioned for Yang Yong to take it without any nonsense.
"The Chu family leader is dedicated to serving the people, and I am very pleased. However, since I will take over Chaozhou in the future, I wonder if the Chu family leader is willing to become an official."
As soon as these words came out, Chu Yunqing was stunned. Of course, the Chu family had many important officials in the court, but the fact that a generation of family heads became subordinates to a prince had never happened to the Chu family.
"My lord, ordinary people only want to express their love for the mountains and rivers. They have never liked and don't understand the intrigues and intrigues in the officialdom!"
Qin Yun laughed loudly: "It seems that the Chu family master is also a leisurely and elegant person. In this case, I will not force it."
Chu Yunqing added: "There are many young talents in the Chu family who are willing to serve the prince."
"Really? That would be even better. I am worried about how to arrange the basic officials in Chaozhou. The Chu family is a local snake, so it would be a good thing for the Chu family to provide officials."
Qin Yun said casually, but Chu Yunqing was sweating profusely when he heard this.
What does a local snake say? It shows that in Qin Yun's eyes, he has not fully accepted the Chu family, and even has the idea of acting on the Chu family.
Chu Yunqing had no choice but to immediately change his words: "Your Majesty, as this family grows, it is inevitable that there will be some mistakes. If Your Majesty thinks that our Chu family has done something wrong, then the Chu family will definitely change it!"
Qin Yun waved his hand: "That's not necessary! Chaozhou has a humid climate and many main water systems. It stands to reason that it should be a prosperous place like the south of the Yangtze River!"
Chu Yunqing understood the meaning of Qin Yun's words, and he immediately said: "The Chu family is willing to use half of the treasury silver to pave the way for bridge construction in Chaozhou and benefit future generations!"
Qin Yun narrowed his eyes and looked at Chu Yunqing with a smile, and the latter suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.
Until Qin Yun slowly opened his mouth and said: "Chu Family Master, we plain people will not speak secretly. I have only one request when I come, and that is that the Chu Family must hand over the large amount of land in its hands."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Chu family is willing to hand over all these to Your Majesty."
Qin Yun frowned and said: "It is not handed over to me but to the court. Don't worry, I am not here to cause killing. On the contrary, I am here to prepare a big gift for the Chu family.
Big gift?
Chu Yunqing and all the elders of the family behind him looked depressed. Qin Yun gave a big gift? If he didn't send a few bullets, it would be a thank you!
Qin Yun wanted to give him a gift, so naturally Chu Yunqing didn't dare to refuse.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, where is the courtesy mentioned?"
Qin Yun stepped forward and hooked Chu Yunqing's arm.
"I have a road in the south that can connect Chaozhou City and Chaozhou Seaport. Is the Chu family interested in investing in it? It is guaranteed to be a profitable business."
"road?"
"I wonder what kind of path the prince is talking about?"
Qin Yundao: "It's called a railway. The train runs along the established rails and can travel eight hundred miles a day. It can not only carry people but also load large quantities of goods!"
"The Chu family will contribute the capital, and I will provide the technology, and the profits from the future will be split 50-50. What do you think, Master Chu family?"
As soon as these words came out, Chu Yunqing and all the elderly people behind him were horrified. They started to cut the Chu family's flesh before they even entered the house. This Qin Yun is so cruel!
But how did Chu Yunqing know that once this thing was built, it would ensure that the Chu family would have enough food and clothing for generations to come.
Chu Yunqing looked at his second uncle who looked like an old butler behind him, and the latter nodded.
Chu Yunqing cupped her hands and said, "The Chu family is willing!"
Qin Yun laughed loudly: "That's good, I thought the Chu family leader would disagree. To be honest, once the railway is put into operation, the Chu family will surely reach a higher level. This is also my promise to Senior Brother Chu. "
Qin Yun changed the topic and pointed to the plaque in front of the door: "However, I hope the Chu family master will remember the words on this plaque!"
Chu Yunqing said seriously: "The common people dare not forget!"
Qin Yun added: "I am always a commoner. I am called a commoner. I have many births. Speaking of which, the fourth lady of your house and I paid homage to each other in the presence of my senior brother. I wonder whose child this fourth lady is?"
Qin Yun knew his advisor clearly, Chu Yunqing said with a smile: "My little girl is not talented, she is the heir of the common people!"
Qin Yun pretended to be surprised and hurriedly held his hands in greeting.
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law was just rude!"
Qin Yun was arrogant in front and respectful in the back, but it made all the elders of the Chu family almost turn around.
They were not naive enough to think that Qin Yun would change so much because of this in-law relationship. It was obvious that the Chu family had to pay an unknown amount of money for the so-called railway.
Chu Yunqing sighed slightly in his heart, but still hurriedly returned the gift.
"Your Majesty's words are serious, ordinary people can't afford your Majesty's gift!"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "That's right, that's right. I wonder where Youwei is now?"
Chu Yunqing smiled and said: "We are in the inner palace. Your Majesty will see you later. The banquet has been prepared. Please come in, Your Majesty!"
Qin Yun strode in with his hands behind his back, followed by a group of followers. Gong Ziyun naturally walked beside Qin Yun.
Looking at the all-colored Zhulong armor, all the old people in the Chu family felt their hearts tremble. If they took action, they would probably bleed like rivers of blood!
In fact, Qin Yun had already made plans for the Chu family.
The Chu family is different from the Yuan family in that it is indeed a virtuous family. Of course, this virtue is only slightly better than other cannibal families.
But now, Qin Yun has no intention of changing the grassroots structure of Chaozhou all at once. There are many ways to defeat the tripod. If Qin Yun did not master violence, he would naturally have to find a way to win over the poor people to kill these big families.
I don't know how much blood will be shed, but Qin Yun now has tens of thousands of troops, hundreds of large ships of various types, and hundreds of artillery pieces.
With these powers, he can naturally force the big family to surrender, and then use subtle means to work for him, which will naturally achieve the effect of revolutionizing the tripod.
After all, it is always easy to break a barrier, but it takes a long time to rebuild a barrier, and countless blood and sacrifices have been made.
Of course, this is Qin Yun thinking about the problem from the perspective of his own identity. After all, he is the King of Qin and is qualified to aspire to the world and become the emperor!
If when he entered Qiongzhou, he was broke and could only establish his authority by killing people, then now he already has too many trump cards.
It is good to kill decisively, but when everyone is dead, who will do the work for him?
…
At the Chu family's banquet, Qin Yun sat at the head of the table, and Chu Youwei was pushed into the female dependents area not far from Qin Yun with an expression of disinterest.
She ran away for several days and left home one after another, but was captured and brought back by the Chu family. Now she only wanted to go to the capital and find her aunt, who was the imperial concubine, to make decisions for her.
Unfortunately, it was too difficult for her to take out Jingmen!
As the host, Chu Yunqing raised his glass and said: "Welcome the prince to the Chu family again. On behalf of the entire Chu family, I would like to pay my respects to the prince!"
"This is Chaozhou plum wine, please, Your Majesty!"
Qin Yun picked up the wine glass and took a sip. The alcohol content was not high, and it had the flavor of fruit wine. Of course, the alcohol content of Daxia wine was not very high either.
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Master Chu, please also hide some of my Qiongzhou wine."
"Someone, bring up Qiongdao beer and nectar and jade dew!"
The former is naturally the wheat juice brewed by Qin Yun, commonly known as beer. The hops were brought back from Nanyang by Zheng Jing.
The latter is distilled wine brewed in Qiongzhou. As soon as the jar was opened, the aroma of wine overflowed instantly. Everyone exclaimed from the bottom of their hearts: "Good wine, good wine!"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "Of course, Master Chu, if you want to drink it in the future, you can go to Qiongzhou to buy it!"
Chu Yunqing laughed loudly after a moment: "It would be even better if I could help the prince resell it."
Qin Yundao: "Our wine is sold by the Commerce Department. If the Chu family wants to do this business, they need to go to Qiongzhou to bid for the wine order!"
Chu Yunqing: "Definitely, definitely!"
Everyone was changing cups and cups, and there was a peaceful scene. Many senior members of the Chu family drank too much, and even Chu Youwei lay down on the table drunkenly, and was then carried away.
At this time, a pretty and pleasant-looking maid came forward and bowed:
"Your Majesty, my master has specially prepared a room for you, please come here!"
Qin Yun smiled but followed him. After a while, he came to a room with incense.
Chu Youwei was lying on the bed.
"My lord, take a rest early!"
Qin Yun shook his head, sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Chu Youwei who was snoring slightly in her sleep, and covered her with a quilt. Unexpectedly, this little girl grabbed Qin Yun's hand.
"Drink...I'm raising fish, you're not allowed to leave...vomit..."
