When they returned to the city, for some reason, the two brats Qin Yu and Lu Xiao got into a fight.
"This is my sixth aunt!" Qin Yu emphasized, holding her left leg.
Not to be outdone, Lu Xiao hugged her right leg, "This is my aunt, my biological aunt."
"Mine is also dear to you, my aunt."
Qin Sheng's eyes widened. He wanted to say, "Get out of the way, this is my wife!"
Both legs were hugged respectively, and Lu Songli couldn't walk.
Qin Sheng picked up a child with one hand and carried them back to their parents respectively. He also gave them a look and told them to take care of their children.
Qin Sheng returned to Lu Songli with empty hands, stretched out his hand to protect his wife and said, "Let's go."
Qin Zhao: Make a difference!
Mrs. Jiang was very happy to see her daughter and son-in-law like this.
Arriving outside the city gate, everyone began to line up to enter the city.
Lu Songli took a brief look and found that there were about 300 people who followed the Qin and Lu families to settle in Houcheng. Among them, there were more than 40 children under ten years old, ranging from ten to fourteen years old. There are about ten of them.
If you think about these numbers, you will understand. Most of those who are willing to follow them, such as Zhou Damajin and others, are in young adults, either not married, or have just been married for a few years, or have children just a few years old. Small. Most of these older children over ten years old are their younger brothers or nephews.
Lu Songli thought, with so many children, they would have to build a private school. A small tree would not be useful if it was not cultivated, and it would not work if they were allowed to play around.
There were about 300 people in their group, and it took a lot of time to register in the city.
When a group of them entered the city, they were also very large. When the people in Houcheng saw them, they would inevitably ask a question or two. Recently, people have been moving back to Houcheng one after another, but it is rare to see such a large group of people moving to Houcheng at the same time. And looking at their carriage carrying a lot of luggage, dragging their families into the city, it didn't look like they were just passing by.
Lu Songli and the others didn't hide it, and directly said that Mr. Lu's tribe had moved to Houcheng to settle down.
After the incident spread, the people in Houcheng seemed to have received a reassurance.
Let everyone live in Houcheng with peace of mind, and call back your relatives who have fled elsewhere. Houcheng is safe. Just imagine, if it was not safe, how could Mr. Lu move all his people here?
More than 300 people, approximately fifty or sixty households, have been arranged to live in Tianshui Village. Houses are divided according to households. Those with a large population will be allocated larger houses, while those with a small population will be allocated smaller houses.
That's the official allocation.
All houses have been inspected before to ensure they are strong and safe. If the roofs, doors and windows are damaged, simple repairs are also carried out.
If you are not satisfied, you can find another place to live or change privately, but they will not care.
While everyone was busy moving into their new residence, Yang Wei, Wu Ren and Hu Guangcong came to Lu Songli and the others carrying a box.
"Your Majesty, the Sixth Madam, the Third Master, and the Sixth Master, this is the money we earned this time. For the sake of convenience, we exchanged it all for gold."
"Except for the two brothers who did not come to Houcheng, we gave them their fair share of silver. We also gave Mr. Lu three thousand taels of silver according to your instructions.
Everything else is here. "
"How much in total?"
"About fifty-two thousand six hundred taels, all converted into gold."
Lu Songli calculated that they had invested less than 20,000 taels of silver in total. Some of the medicinal materials were sent to Longcheng, and she paid a price that was 20% higher than the cost.
Is this a three or four times increase?
"Sixth Madam, you don't know that when our medicinal materials were shipped to Chang'an, they were very popular and were robbed. Not to mention the price we sold them at, even if they were sold at a 20-30% increase, there would be no problem." Call it a fortune!
Now that they talk about it, the three of them can't hide their excitement.
Lu Songli nodded, and she looked at Qin Heng, "Eldest brother, third brother, Ah Sheng and I mean that the money has been divided among the brothers, right? It's just for their settlement expenses."
Later, they each invested a thousand taels. They had agreed at the beginning that this silver and the money earned would be divided among Zhou Da and other brothers who went to the north to escort Qin Yan and his party.
Qin Heng nodded, "Okay, that's it."
Qin Zhao: "I have no problem either."
Qin Sheng: "Listen to Lili."
Just do it, they immediately beat gongs and drums, and after gathering people, they started to distribute the money!
Lu Songli and other decision-makers did not participate in this distribution, so the amount of silver distributed to each household was relatively even, about six hundred taels.
Before dividing the money, Lu Songli suggested setting aside four to five thousand taels as the cost of maintaining the village. From now on, any public expenses incurred by the villagers living in Tianshui Village will be paid directly from this money. This is better than asking someone to pay for it later.
Every household received money, and no one minded the four or five thousand taels taken away. What's more, Mrs. Qin Liu said that this money was used as a public expenditure for Tianshui Village, and the money would be used on them. .
At night, return to Houcheng Military Camp
After Lu Songli took a shower, she wiped her hair by the window in the room.
In the room, the oil lamp was burning.
Her eyes fell on the white paper on the table. Lu Songli had been thinking about how to run Liaodong County well recently.
Yes, run Liaodong County, not Houcheng.
She thought that the award from the court should come soon. With her father's contribution, she will definitely rise to another level. If her father is higher up, he will be the county guard.
Regarding the negotiation, the absence of the governor and the governor of Liaodong County, no matter what the reason, is an established fact anyway. For the imperial court, it was reasonable for the governor's office to be in Liaoxi County, but Zheng Xun was definitely derelict in his duties.
Therefore, Lu Songli speculated that her father should be the next governor of Liaodong County.
Zheng Xun will be transferred elsewhere.
To run Liaodong County well, we must first encourage spring farming. It is best to distribute some seeds to poor people who cannot afford to buy grain seeds to help them tide over difficulties. As for whether we need to plant some suitable cash crops later? Then total the total.
But her father had seen it and found out that the Houcheng County government treasury was empty enough to run away with rats, and Houcheng was a poor county.
Secondly, she also wanted to improve the official system. After all, a large wave of zombies, no, a large wave of talents are on their way to their Liaodong County. Serve these people well and make them feel at home, so as to spread the good reputation of Liaodong County. Of course, it would be best to leave these people behind.
This really costs money everywhere, and it’s a headache.
This time, they spent a lot of money on negotiating with the Xianbei Royal Court. Her box of top-quality gems was spent, and the box that her eldest brother supplied her with was also exchanged for money, and she also spent a lot of money on it.
But Lu Songli felt that the gold, silver, jewelry and money were well spent. After all, they had captured the entire Liaodong County.
When Qin Sheng came in, he saw her tapping his forehead and couldn't help but asked with concern, "Lili, do you have a headache?"
"Yeah, I have a headache. How can I get money quickly?" Lu Songli said unconsciously.
Qin Sheng blinked when he heard this, his wife has no money? How is this possible!
"Li Li, tell me, how about I lead the troops to clear out the bandits and bandits in Liaodong County?" This was the fastest way to make money that he could think of.
"Suppressing bandits?" Lu Songli's eyes lit up.
Due to the continuous wars in Liaodong County, many people fell into the trap of bandits.
There is no way, in Houcheng, the common people are at the bottom, and even the bandits and bandits live better than them. For example, when encountering Xianbei soldiers, ordinary people may not survive, but bandits and bandits can defeat them with weapons.
But these bandits often cause trouble to the countryside.
Lu Songli praised, "What a great idea. It will eliminate the banditry and give the common people a bright and clear sky. It is very good."
Qin Sheng was excited, "Really?"
"Of course, you talk to our father about this idea, and then ask him to help you talk to Mr. Le. It should be no problem."
"Okay, Lili, don't worry about money." Next, you will have a lot of money.
"Okay, I'm not worried." What can make money faster than cheating?
The couple looked at each other and smiled.
