The Rise of the Marquis

Chapter 74
In the dream, Wang Jian saw the woman in red again. Her face was blurry and she seemed to be crying. There was a big river between them. He approached with some doubts, trying to see the woman's face clearly, but found that the big river turned into the sky. The dazzling stars then fell down, and then the dazzling light woke him up. He found that the sun had already risen, and the light spots shone on his eyes through the gap in the tent. Come in.

Wang Jian was very angry when he got up, and cursed a few words, causing Dongfang Jin, who had come in happily, to put down the copper basin heavily on the table, turned his head and left.

Walking over to see, it turned out that the little girl brought him face water. Wang Jian washed a few to wake himself up, and then he carried it out and poured out the face water beside the big tent. Many soldiers were busy in the distance.

They happily lined up in a long line outside the city. There were more than a dozen camps by the river, where rewards were given out for meritorious deeds. Zuoqiu Fufeng and Wu Yi were mainly in charge of these. The conversation was very exciting, and the warm atmosphere spread on the wide grass outside the city, and everything was full of vigor and vitality.

Wang Jian opened his consciousness, felt the rich aura and started to run the Hehuan Jue silently, and found that his body could slowly absorb the surrounding aura after so many Qi Gathering Pills improved, although the speed was still slow, but it was still good. good thing.

At this moment, Zuoqiu Fufeng came over on horseback and said a few words outside. After the guards came to report, Wang Jian ordered to let them go.

Zuoqiu Fufeng bowed his hands and said one thing directly: "Marquis, some soldiers don't want the land and houses in Heyin as rewards. They want to go back to Heyang and want other rewards."

"It makes sense." Wang Jian nodded: "Most of them have families."

"En." Zuoqiu Fufeng said: "I'll make a rough inquiry. Many of them have families in Heyang, and some of them are old and don't want to go back and forth. Adapting and not surviving, saying that the friends and relatives they knew are gone, and they can’t live alone here.”

"Some people stick to the rules, and some want to make progress. If they have different ideas, let them get what they need." Wang Jian knew in his heart that although he said so, it could be as short as a few years or as long as more than ten years. Some people will regret it At that time, they may find various reasons to blame him for the wrong choice of the present as the wrong side of the executor, so it is better to do things to the extreme.

"Tell those who want to go back, their rewards can be converted into copper coins, and the silk cloth will be distributed, but only half of it will be counted. Use the government's savings and seized spoils to exchange, and then the land and properties will be owned by the government. All the fields and properties are clearly registered, and all are recorded.” Wang Jian talked a lot, and found that Zuoqiu Fufeng looked embarrassed and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Wang Jian asked.

Zuoqiu Fufeng cupped his hands, "Marquis, there aren't many bamboo slips in Heyin, so I'm afraid it's not enough to remember so many things."

Only then did Wang Jian suddenly realize that, yes, this era is not in the industrialized countries of the later generations. Pens, inks, papers and inkstones are very precious, and a large number of files and written descriptions are very rare. Not much, he wants to record the number of acres of existing fields and newly cultivated fields in one step, and it is not feasible to pay taxes directly from the fields.

Papermaking can certainly be tried, but everything is inseparable from the problem of cost. As long as the cost does not go down and cannot be promoted on a large scale, it is still a luxury that is not enough to change the situation.

"Then let's make a rough statistics for the time being, at least a general overview." Wang Jian knew in his heart that when he went to the local statistics in the future, people with land would definitely try their best to obstruct or deceive them when they knew that they had to pay taxes. Figured it out.

Zuoqiu Fufeng took the order and continued to work. At this time, Dongfang Jin came back from a distance with a bad face, probably still angry about what happened just now.

"How is the practice of the cheats given to you?"

"You don't care about me." Dongfang Jin was still angry, his mouth was pouted to the sky, and he clearly wrote "I'm angry".

"I feel that your aura is much stronger, and you are making rapid progress. People with outstanding talents are really different." Wang Jian said, what he said is true, he can probably feel that Dongfang Jin has reached the second level of Qi training, how many days has it been, Probably due to his excellent spiritual roots and the rich aura in this world, even a genius would need years of hard work in his previous life.

Hearing what she said, Dongfang Jin's pursed mouth flattened slightly, "That's needless to say.
Some people have good intentions and treat them like donkeys. I had something important to say early in the morning, but I was scolded for no reason. "

"I don't know what's important for Miss Dongfang?"

"Forget about being scolded!" The little girl was still furious.

"Okay, then I'll ask your princess." Wang Jian gestured to leave.

"Stop." Dongfang Jin reluctantly said, "It's about Lantian jade. The mine in Heyin has been found. It's in the mountains southwest of Heyin Town. I went to see it in person this morning. The local miners still live there. However, the stewards from Ma Ling had already left, and the work in the mine had stopped, but I got a piece of mined jade from them.”

As she spoke, she took out a piece of so-called jade the size of an egg from her waist and handed it over.

Wang Jian took a look, and his eyes lit up instantly. This spirit stone is of high purity!There is a small spiritual mine directly in Heyin!He tried his best to calm his heart, but his heart beat wildly. In his previous life, he didn't even dare to think of such a spiritual mine. Even spiritual stones were rare. bloody.

Dongfang Jin also frowned slightly and said, "I don't know why, but I found that holding the jade in my hand gave me a strange feeling, as if I was refreshed, like... like being next to you." She felt embarrassed herself, and turned her face away.

Of course Wang Jian knew why she felt this way, because he always had a small spirit gathering array around him, and the aura around him was so strong that he would naturally give the little girl this feeling.

"Cultivate hard and don't be lazy. Geniuses like you are rare, but you can't be too lazy." Wang Jian explained seriously, "I will teach you other things when you have enough foundation after you have practiced to the fifth level.

This kind of thing is called Lingshi, and holding it in the palm of your hand can make you get twice the result with half the effort. "

"Lingshi?" Dongfang Jin looked curiously at her familiar yet unfamiliar jade stone: "How do you know these things, and who taught you the things you asked me to practice?"

"The secret must not be leaked. I will tell you when the time is right." Wang Jian smiled and said impatiently, "Go, take me to see the mining area."

"Mystery, what's the big deal?" Dongfang Jin said, his body still led the way honestly.
