She only wants to do infrastructure construction

Unknowingly, Xiao Jiuxi has been working in this mountain and Huzhou for almost a month, and the results this month are still a little worse than what he expected.

After all, his previous plan was to capture Shanhu State in one month.

However, a month has passed, and he has only touched one of the noble families. It is still unknown whether the newly raised branch has any royal family in his heart.

Not to mention there are 11 other aristocratic families after him.

Seeing that spring plowing was about to begin in Taihe Prefecture, he was trapped in Shanhu Prefecture, with no scheduled return date.

"If I don't go back, my son won't be able to recognize me." Xiao Jiuxi sighed. He could understand it, but he had no choice but to advise his master to be patient.

Xiao Jiuxi was about to cry but had no tears: "I can't bear it... I'm just a dude. I don't want to take on big responsibilities. I just want to go home to accompany my wife and hold my children..."

A song: "Master, be strong."

Every morning, Xiao Jiuxi would emo for a while before recovering, and Yi Ge would take the trouble to accompany him and enlighten him.

Yige felt that he was probably the only dead man in the world who could be civilized, martial, and able to comfort people.

It's not easy.

Today, Xiao Jiuxi was still wailing in mourning, but the housekeeper came in in a hurry.

"King Wang, the newly appointed master wants to see you."

"?" Xiao Jiuxi was confused, wondering why this elder brother came to see him so early in the morning?He doesn't want to see anyone or deal with official business.

As a result, before he could speak, Yige had already answered on his behalf: "Take him to the living room, the prince will be here later."

"Yes." The butler bowed respectfully and exited.

Xiao Jiuxi looked at Yige aggrievedly: "I want to go home..."

"Master, please settle the matters here as soon as possible and then you can go home. Act quickly. The princess is still waiting for you in Taihe Prefecture." Yige urged him expressionlessly.

Xiao Jiuxi stood up half-heartedly and walked outside.

The newly appointed head of the family was a branch of the Liu family, and was not considered important at first, but after the big family was overthrown, they rose up.

Before this, he never thought that he would be the head of the family one day.

I spent a few days with my family moving into the mansion and getting familiar with the business. Now that I was finally free, I naturally wanted to visit the pier.After all, without the king, there would be no such wealth and honor for their side branches.

No matter how they just took over, they would definitely hug Xiao Jiuxi's thighs tightly.

In this way, the newly appointed master, who usually could only look at the powerful from a distance and never had a chance to chat up close, finally had the opportunity to meet the prince up close.

He is about forty years old, and he is a little reserved. Compared with those children of aristocratic families who think they are superior to others, he is a little more humble and less confident.

Xiao Jiuxi looked at him with a smile: "Isn't this the new head of the family? I heard that you have been so busy these days, why do you have time to come to the humble house today?"

"Ashamed, ashamed. How dare I claim to be a busy person compared to Prince Zhang. The villain was originally just a side branch of the family and was not taken seriously. It was thanks to the support of the prince that he became what he is today. I should have come to express my gratitude to the prince a long time ago, but in fact I can’t pull away, I hope the prince will forgive me.”

"No, no, no, I'm the most informal person. As long as you are sincere to me, I will definitely give you the same sincerity."

"It's natural!" The newly appointed head of the family was here to show his loyalty. He was worried about how to get to the point and express his determination to surrender to King Zang and follow his lead. Unexpectedly, King Zang took the initiative to mention it.So he knelt down directly when everyone was unexpected.

"King Zhang, from now on, as long as I am here, the Liu family will look after you!"

As he spoke, he took out a wooden box from his sleeve.

Xiao Jiuxi glanced doubtfully: "What?"

"This is my determination and sincerity to surrender to King Zhang. King Zhang will know it after seeing it."

Xiao Jiuxi didn't say anything and opened the wooden box. Inside was a thick stack of land deeds. Not only that, but there seemed to be land deeds for the house as well.

"Yo, what do you mean?"

"This is the Liu family's [-] acres of fertile land and the land deeds to ten villages. I would like to dedicate it to King Chang to show my loyalty. After all, without King Chang, there would be no me, Liu Junran. Please don't be too polite, King Chang."

Xiao Jiuxi was a little surprised: "Send it all to me?"

"If the king of wine is not enough, the villain can arrange more."

"It's enough for you to have this filial piety. I don't want you to take the things back." Xiao Jiuxi returned the things to him without caring much.

"Why...why?" Liu Junran was a little surprised. After all, not long ago, King Jin went to great lengths to get land from the Twelve Aristocratic Family. He was just following his fancy. Could it be that he had made the wrong decision?

Xiao Jiuxi raised her lips: "Do you really think I want to be a farmer? I came all the way to Shanhuzhou just for a few acres of thin fields like yours? I'm not stupid.

I said that fighting for the land was just to find a place for those [-] miners to avoid being displaced. Now that the problem has been solved, it is useless for me to ask for the land. You can keep it for yourself. "

"!" Liu Junran's eyes widened in disbelief.

King Zhang did not hesitate to break up with the aristocratic family before, but he really just wanted to solve the livelihood problem of the miners.

His heart was full of mixed feelings.

He thought...the miners' benefit was just incidental, and King Zhang mainly wanted to gain fame for himself, while also weakening the face of the Twelve Aristocratic Family.

"It's the common people who are so narrow-minded." Liu Junran was so ashamed that he couldn't lift his head. He only felt that King Zhang was really different from others. His uncle couldn't see the kindness of King Zhang and just scolded him for being a coward. No wonder he was defeated like a mountain. .

And for me, being able to see the goodness of the king, does it mean that their family will become prosperous from now on?
When Liu Junran was unspeakably excited, Xiao Jiuxi squatted in front of him, still with a bright smile on his face.

"Although... I'm not interested in the fields, I do like your Liu family's jewelry shop. Who doesn't know the emerald pearls from Shanhu Prefecture? If you give me this emerald pearl mine..."

"!" Liu Junran's eyes widened, King Jian had such a huge appetite.

The Cuizhu Mine was the biggest industry of the Liu family, and the Liu family's wealth and success depended on Cuizhu. He subconsciously wanted to shake his head.

Xiao Jiuxi still smiled harmlessly: "It really doesn't work, right? After all, it is one of your Liu family's businesses. I thought that in addition to emeralds, your family also has pearls, agate, clam glaze and other mineral veins. I only want one The Cuizhu Mine is just a small thing, but after all, I thought too much."

"..." Liu Junran was extremely troubled in his heart, and finally gritted his teeth and bowed his head: "If the king wants it, why not give up!"

"The pattern, this is the pattern!" Xiao Jiuxi patted his shoulder seriously, and then helped him up: "Don't worry, I am not an inconsiderate person. You gave away the Cuizhu Mine as soon as you became the head of the family. It’s hard for me to convince the public, and I don’t need you to make it public. You just need to secretly give me the land deed, and I will be the master behind the scenes. On the surface, you are still the owner of the Cuizhu Mine. What do you think?”
