Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

There will be no more than two hundred people in the Black Tiger Gang who can be named first-class nobles. Such existences basically have a hard condition. Their cultivation must reach the spiritual energy realm, or have strength that can rival the spiritual energy realm.

For example, powerful insect masters or animal trainers may only be in the Xiantian realm, but their pets are very powerful and can compete with strong ones in the spiritual realm.

After such people have accumulated meritorious deeds, they are also eligible to be named first-class nobles.

Top alchemists and plantation masters, if they are not skilled enough, will only be granted the title of second-class noble at most.

No matter which gang he is in, even if it is the Nine Insects Gang, strength is the most important thing.

The Black Tiger Gang granted first-class nobility, not only their strength but also their merits. Because one's contribution and loyalty to the gang can be measured based on merit.

Qin Niu's two conditions are definitely not up to standard if calculated strictly.

The leader of the Black Tiger Gang probably saw him as a talented person and wanted to win his heart by showing him kindness.

In addition, there is an urgent need to boost military morale and set a few examples.

Qin Niu made great achievements by accident, and his strength was barely adequate. He was also very young and had unlimited growth potential.

And he had no intention of pursuing an official career.

The official will probably not accept it.

So I directly made him a first-class noble.

"Thank you, Gang Leader Long En. Qin Niu will definitely be happy to have the opportunity to continue to contribute to the Black Tiger Gang."

Qin Niu bowed and took the reward document.

"Haha, not bad, not bad. The gang leader really did not misjudge the person."

Mr. Lu showed a rare smile.

"First-class nobles, there are less than a thousand people in this gang who have been granted the title so far, and there are only more than two hundred people alive. With this status, all the land you own will be exempt from taxes, and your descendants and family members will be exempted from corvee. . There is no need to salute when you meet an official. Only the city lord's palace can judge those who break the law. If you are a jury, you can be given a seat..."

The various privileges of a first-class noble are enough to make countless people jealous.

Not to mention anything else, it is a super privilege to have all the land exempted from taxes and the family members and themselves exempted from corvee.

The land tax can range from 10% to 30%, which is a heavy long-term burden for many landlords and farmers.

Even a local wealthy family like the Yan family has to pay taxes honestly.

"The hundred acres of fertile land given to you are all public lands of the City Lord's Mansion. This is the land deed. The public land closest to Shuangfeng Village was specially selected."

In addition to private ownership of the land, the rest is the property of the city lord's mansion.

It can also be called public ownership.

However, the City Lord's Mansion will not farm the land directly, but will rent out the land and forests and then collect rent.

This is also an important source of income for the City Lord's Mansion.

Here comes the question. The city lord's palace often needs to reward land to its subjects for meritorious service. It only has so much land in total, will it be used up?

In fact it doesn't.

In addition to some illegal landlords and farmers who may have all their property confiscated, the city government also has a specialized business department. When the land price is low, the city government may take over the land from the people and buy a large amount of land.

One hundred acres of fertile farmland is already quite a lot.

One acre of fertile land is calculated as eleven taels of silver, which is also one thousand one hundred taels of silver.

Including the deed tax, the total price exceeds one thousand three hundred taels of silver.

Ordinary people can become landlords directly if they own a hundred acres of fertile land.

So far, Qin Niu only has one acre of bad farmland.

Now that he has directly received a reward of 100 acres of fertile land, he can be regarded as a proud ancestor.

"Thank you, Lord City Lord, thank you, Lord Lu!"

Qin Niu took the Tian deed with both hands and felt excited.

It would be great if Old Man Liu was still alive.

So many fields are enough to make Old Man Liu smile from ear to ear.

"The war between our Black Tiger Gang, the Nine Insects Gang, and the Shennong Faction is still ongoing. The outcome is unpredictable. You should practice hard, work hard to improve your strength, and strive to contribute more when necessary. Protecting your home and country is also the responsibility of everyone. Duties and responsibilities of subjects.”

Mr. Lu warned.

"Young man must remember Mr. Lu's teachings."

"You are now a first-class noble, on the same level as Lu, so there is no need to lower yourself."

Mr. Lu said with a smile.

"The juniors will gradually adapt."

Qin Niu immediately changed his tune and no longer called himself a villain. Mr. Lu looked at Young Master Fang.

"We should also set off to continue hunting down Elder Jiuyin and the rest of the evildoers, let's go!"

They obviously don't know yet about Elder Jiuyin being killed by Qin Niu.

Qin Niu hesitated for two seconds and finally decided to keep it a secret.

That hundred-treasure insect bag is a good thing. Wouldn't it be troublesome if someone knew that he had killed Elder Jiuyin and asked for the loot?

Also, if the Nine Insects Gang knows that he killed Elder Jiuyin, they will definitely treat him as a life and death enemy.

Qin Niu finally decided to keep this matter in his stomach.

Anyway, the body has been destroyed.

"Master Qin, let's say goodbye. Elder Jiuyin's whereabouts have been unknown. From some clues, we can judge that he has probably escaped back to Yuxi Town. You must be careful. If you find the other party, do not act recklessly. Elder Jiuyin is He is one of the two strongest elders of the Nine Insects Gang and has many methods. If you fight with him alone, you will be easily counterattacked."

Fang Lian treats Qin Niu as a friend.

Only he knew that Qin Niu was not only an insect master, but also an extremely skilled planting master.

The important medicinal herb of the Fang family has gradually regained its vitality under Qin Niu's treatment.

The crisis of the Fang family was also resolved.

But no one can guarantee that there will no longer be problems with those important herbs, and there may be times when Qin Niu's help is needed in the future.

Now that Qin Niu has been granted a first-class noble title, the Fang family no longer has the ability to manipulate him at will.

Building a good relationship is the best policy.

"Also, according to reliable information, Elder Mei of the Nine Insect Gang led a group of masters to sneak into the hinterland of our Black Tiger Gang, possibly to save Elder Jiuyin from trouble. These masters are equally powerful, and Elder Mei's ability to control insects may not be as good as Elder Jiuyin, but his cultivation has advanced to the spiritual realm more than a hundred years ago, and he is one of the top experts in the Nine Insect Gang. If you find traces of this person, running away is the best option."

Fang Lian revealed another important news to Qin Niu.

From this point, it can be seen that Mr. Lu has reservations about him.

If Fang Lian hadn't informed this information, Qin Niu would never have known about it.

"Thank you Mr. Fang for reminding me, take care!"

Qin Niu cupped his hands and thanked him.

"Take care of yourself!"

Mr. Fang nodded and left with Master Lu and the masters of the clan.

These people all belong to the top of the Black Tiger Gang.

So many bigwigs came to visit Qin Niu, which made the villagers watching from a distance even more awe of Qin Niu.

They all speculated on the intentions of these big guys.

Mr. Wang next door was secretly happy when he saw that his future son-in-law seemed to be getting more and more promising.

……

Qin Niu went to the mountain to practice, so he didn't mention it.

He planned to receive the reward of one hundred acres of fertile land in two days.

Anyway, with the Tian deed in hand, he won't run away.

Now the locust plague has not subsided and is still raging throughout the Black Tiger Gang. Just because most of the plants have been eaten away and they have begun to migrate, the locust plague will definitely end soon.

In this case, after Qin Niu took over the fertile land, he would definitely have no choice but to leave it abandoned.

Only when the locust plague disappears will he consider hiring people to farm the land.

At that time, like the Yan family, they can raise two cattle, hire a group of long-term workers, and become a landlord.

It's a pity that the land price has not dropped significantly now, otherwise, Qin Niu would definitely buy it.

Acquisition of land on a large scale.

When the price was high, the price of one acre of fertile land was around thirteen taels of silver.

It's now eleven taels.

This is equivalent to a reduction of two taels of silver per acre.

This is a small price reduction, not a major price reduction.

He thinks it is not the best opportunity to make a move and is ready to wait and see.

Anyway, in his eyes, the value of that mountain is even higher. (End of chapter)
