Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 2705 Scenery and Suffering

Mr. Zuo took the officials of the household department and the property register that had been calculated, and went to see Wei Qi with great excitement. As soon as he saw him, he shouted: "Your Majesty, great joy, the Dafeng property sent by Lu Jincheng is from a wealthy family. Forty percent of the donation..."

Wei Qi frowned after hearing this: "Why is it only [-]%? That's the property of a dynasty!"

He thought that even if they were not equal, they should be [-]% higher, and now it is only [-]%. Could it be that the Qin and Gu families deliberately concealed Dafeng's property?
Lord Zuo hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, although the industry is only [-]%, these industries are valuable. There are six islands, and there are four large, one small, and five salt fields on these islands. These alone can add one million taels to the national treasury every year." income of silver."

Salt is a thing that everyone has to eat, but Dayong and the desert countries have not found salt so far. When fighting with them, they can only buy salt from Dongqing.

Dongqing didn't have enough salt, so after selling it to Dayong, he had to come to them to buy it, so the money that the salt farm could exchange for was endless!
"What did you say? There are islands and salt fields?!" Wei Qi stood up from the soft couch in shock, stepped down and asked, "But it's true?"

In the past ten days, in order not to make people laugh at him for being too ignorant, he refrained from asking Lu Jincheng what kind of property he returned, so when he heard this, he was so shocked that he couldn't believe it.

"It's true, I dare not lie to Your Majesty." Master Zuo said excitedly, and then said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I haven't finished talking yet."

Haven't finished yet?

Wei Qi hurriedly said: "Aiqing continue to talk!"

Lord Zuo: "There are two docks on these islands. It is reported that there are 34 ships, and there are ten master shipbuilders and a hundred shipbuilders..."

"There's even a dock!" Wei Qi was so excited that his hands shook, he had seen what it means to be a centipede that is dead but not stiff... Dafeng has been dead for almost a hundred years, and he still has such a coveted thing.

The Great Chu Dynasty has been in power for less than a hundred years, and since its establishment, it has only been busy with two things, one is fighting against the army, and the other is fighting against the aristocratic families. It is powerless to sail.

And because Emperor Fengai set fire to the palace before his death, all the blueprints for shipbuilding were lost, and Da Chu was simply unable to build a large ship.

Unexpectedly, when it was Wei Qi's turn to be the emperor, he would get a large shipyard and a group of shipbuilders. Really: "God bless David!"

Lord Zuo is very good at flattering, and immediately followed up: "It can be seen that your majesty is the real dragon emperor, the chosen one!"

Coincidentally, Wei Qi thinks so too... When he first started to plan for the world, he was worried that it would not work, but now not only has it succeeded, but he has managed the world so well that he doesn't even believe that he is not the real dragon emperor!
Master Zuo continued: "Your Majesty, there are two good things."

Wei Qi said happily: "There is more? Aiqing, tell me quickly!"

Master Zuo said: "Among the six islands, there is a large granary hidden in Fengqingdao. There are actually thirteen granaries in the world, not twelve. It's just that Lu Jincheng doesn't know how much grain is in that big granary. , he hasn't been there."

He added: "There is also an iron mine in the Shiwu Mountain near Dongqing."

"Is there iron ore in Shiwushan?" Wei Qi has been in the Northeast for ten years. He has heard of Shiwushan, but he never knew that there is iron ore on that mountain. He just thought it was a useless stone mountain.

Lord Zuo nodded: "It is written in the business brochure that iron mines can produce exactly how much iron can be produced. We have to send masters from the Ministry of Industry to mine the ore and smelt it to find out, but no matter how much iron is produced, we will still make money. "

Wei Qi nodded: "We have indeed made money."

It's not just about making money, it's a free industry, and it's an industry that can produce silver every year. It's a huge profit.

Wei Qi took this as a proof that God recognized him as emperor, and was so excited that he cried.

Mr. Zuo thought he was superstitious, but as a loyal minister who can read his face, he was very sensible and cried with Wei Qi and said a lot of flattery.

Finally said: "Your Majesty, Lu Jincheng has returned so much property to David, shouldn't he call all the ministers to discuss and see what title he will be given?"

Wei Qi just had this intention, and seeing that it was still early, he issued an order: "Call Prince Wei, the six ministers, and all the elders to come over to discuss matters."

Yuan Zhi, who was guarding outside the hall, immediately sent the Imperial Forest Army to invite all your lords.

Half an hour later, the six ministers arrived with several Ge elders, along with Wei Xiao, Qin Lao, and Brother Cheng.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Brother Cheng saluted Wei Qi, and said, "I heard that Your Majesty is going to summon all the adults to discuss the title of Caomin? Caomin thought that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so why don't we just leave it today? So that you adults can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind, Cao Min begged Grandpa Qin to bring him to see His Majesty and talk about it in person... Your Majesty won't be angry, will he?"

Wei Qi smiled and said, "How could it be? You are David's hero. I treat you like my own nephew. I wish I could raise you in the palace. How could you be angry?"

Hehe, there is no need to raise a family in the palace, watching you every day affects my eating.

But Brother Cheng smiled happily: "That's good."

He asked again: "Your Majesty, what title do you want to give Cao Min?"

This question was too straightforward, which made Wei Qi feel a little uncomfortable, but he said with a smile: "You still have meritorious service, I think you should be crowned king."

Mr. Zuo is Wei Qi's confidant, knowing that Wei Qi is stingy, he is reluctant to give Cheng Geer the king, so he immediately said: "Your Majesty, no, Lu Jincheng is just giving birth, not making any great military exploits, so you can't give the throne , it's too high, just make him an uncle."

Wei Xiao said: "Uncle is too low, it won't work!"

Wei Qi is angry, you bastard, what would you do if you robbed me? !

He suppressed his anger, nodded and said: "I also think that Uncle is too low... the hereditary Duke of Lu, although lower than the prince, can protect your descendants to enjoy the salary forever, what do you think?"

"Grandpa? That sounds good!" Brother Cheng was very happy, and said with yearning.

Seeing this, Wei Qi was so frightened that he almost changed his face... The hereditary grandpa gave you this young brat, just thinking about him makes his heart ache so much that his internal organs ache.

After Cheng Geer frightened Wei Qi, he said again: "But if I become the Duke of the country, wouldn't I be on an equal footing with Grandpa Qin? Let's forget it... Well, how about being a lord, Lu Guo Hou, it sounds very nice."

Then he turned his head and asked Mr. Qin: "Grandpa Qin, what do you always think?"

Elder Qin nodded: "Well, Marquis Lu is not bad."

He looked at Wei Qi and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to discuss any more, just let the hereditary Marquis of Lu be replaced."

Marquis of Lu?
Using the former state of Lu as a title, is this kid worthy? !

Wei Qi wanted to change Brother Cheng's title.

But Wei Xiao has already said: "Uncle, he is the heir of the Lu family, and the Lu family is the descendant of the former Lu State. The Marquis of Lu State is very suitable. This is it, no need to change it. Busy, it's just a waste of time to continue arguing about this matter."

Wei Qi could only agree.

Thinking that Brother Cheng is Qin Sanlang's brother-in-law, in order to win him over and show his benevolence, he asked again: "Aside from the title, what reward do you want?"

Cheng Geer said: "Well, then give me the Sea Pigeon Island, and give it to ten small sailors who can build ships... I like going out to sea. With the island and the boat, I can go to the sea to play."

Brat, I'm just being polite, you really want it!

But the words have already been said, and the Sea Pigeon Island that Brother Cheng wants is the smallest among the six islands, and there is no salt field. .”
