Chapter 69: Your Highness, you look quite proud.
Qi Chenglang waved his sleeves and led everyone back to Wen Mansion.

All the guards were in high spirits. They had no choice but to put on sacks and rely on their fists. This was the first time for everyone to do this!

Don't say it, it's cool!

The happy ending was that these people were picked out by Xie Changshi the next day and stood in a row in the middle of the yard. Except for Qi Chenglang, everyone was scolded like quails and couldn't hold their heads up.

Qi Chenglang defended: "Xie Changshi, what you said is wrong. These two people are not ordinary people who have no power. These two people are plotting against His Highness. Besides, we didn't tell Magistrate Qi, so it doesn't count. Use your power to bully others."

"The most important thing is that we did not use force. We used fists throughout the whole process."

The more he talked, the more he felt it was right. He winked at Xie Changshi and said, "Xie Changshi, I have something to tell you."

So hurry up and disperse my brothers. This will make me lose face!

Gu Yuzhi saw this scene when he came out of class. After asking, he found out what happened last night!
He looked at the sky and the earth with some guilt.

However, the young prince Gu Yuzhi is a man who has the courage to admit: "Xie Changshi, don't punish me, I asked them to do this!"

He snorted: "I asked them to put sacks on them and beat them! Those two people didn't know they were ours."

Xie Changshi...

Your Highness, you look quite proud.

However, if Guard Qi doesn't give you face, His Highness will always have to give him face: "Please disperse, Guard Qi, come with me."

The perpetrators were trained in the Wen Mansion. The news that Huang Fu and Qian Kang were beaten with sacks was also spread in the Changzhou Mansion. Who made them unlucky? It was almost dawn when they were discovered. It was so close. Not frozen to death...

The two of them were carried back to Li Ji's Pharmacy. Dr. Li Ji treated them overnight. He was frightened when he saw the bruises on the two men's bodies and quickly informed the store manager.

When Li Yanping arrived, the two men were still awake. The doctor was frightened and said that his ability was limited, and maybe the Wen family doctor could do something about it.

This time the doctor was not provoking, but he really had no choice and did not dare to prescribe medicine.

He knew very well that his level could not cure these two people. Once the drug was taken, his death would come.

Li Yanping looked at the doctor who was kneeling on the ground and couldn't get up, and closed his eyes: "Find a way to save their lives. I'm going to see Magistrate Qi now."

Huang Fu offended someone from the Wen family last time, and Li Yanping was not so naive. He thought that if he told him, Master Wen would agree to send someone to help.

After getting on the carriage, Li Yanping asked: "What happened? Where did these two people go last night?"

The servant shook his head with a grimace: "They left after the restaurant closed. The owner of the restaurant said that they were not drunk when they left, so they refused to send someone to escort them."

But Li Yanping felt something was wrong: "What did the people in the house say? You were so close and didn't hear anything?"

The servant felt even more miserable: "The two of them often stayed out at night. The concierge didn't pay attention, and he didn't hear anything wrong."

To sum up, these two people were beaten in vain!

Li Yanping looked ugly and made a list of possible people in his mind.You know, Li Ji Trading Company is quite a domineering presence in Mobei. Huang Fu and Qian Kang have always been careless in their behavior. If it weren't for Li Ji Trading Company's protection, they would have been beaten many times.

Everything was fine in the past, but what outrageous thing did these two people do yesterday? It was so unbearable that they took advantage of the night to do something!
Li Yanping thought about it all the way. When he arrived at the magistrate's office, he had just explained his intention when he saw the magistrate hurriedly walked out: "It's really unlucky for shopkeeper Li to come here. Our magistrate left the city early in the morning."

Li Yanping's eyebrows skipped a beat, such a coincidence?
He always had a smile on his face: "Can you tell me where the prefect has gone? I have something very important and I want to ask the prefect for help."

No matter how domineering Li Ji Trading Company was in doing business, Li Yanping was very respectful when facing magistrate officials. As he spoke, he handed over a small bag of money to the magistrate.

Tongpan weighed it in his hand, and the smile on his face became even bigger: "It's in the disaster relief area. Shopkeeper Li just sends someone to look for it."

Li Yanping bent down to thank him repeatedly. After getting on the carriage, the smile on his face suddenly fell. He closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.

After finally arriving outside the city, Li Yanping failed again. Magistrate Qi had left long ago, but the victims did not know where Magistrate Qi had gone.

Having been delayed all morning, Li Yanping had no other choice but to turn around and go to Wen Mansion to invite people in person.

Magistrate Qi, who had been chasing him, was in Wen Mansion at the moment, discussing with Xie Changshi the specific matters of land reclamation in Xinliang after the snow melted.

Seeing that it has entered February, Xinliang's land reclamation matters can be put on the agenda.

Because of the timely arrival of this batch of food and banknotes, the Escort Bureau selected some people without family burdens to join the Escort Bureau, which not only strengthened the Escort Bureau, but also greatly reduced the difficulty of Qi Wenhan's disaster relief.

Since His Highness Wen Wang gave him such face, Qi Wenhan would naturally do his best to help His Highness Wen Wang build his mansion.

He came here today just to show his sincerity!

Among the documents he brought, there were not only officials responsible for building official roads in Xinliang, but also some suggestions for encouraging people to go to Xinliang to reclaim wasteland.

"Your Highness, Xie Changshi, I think that the Wen family can take the lead and let the victims outside the city voluntarily go to Xinliang to reclaim wasteland."

King Wen's land does not require taxes, so many articles can be made from these lands: "Your Highness, our Sang Dynasty has regulations that no taxes are paid on reclaimed land for two years, so I suggest that you start with taxes. More people stay in Xinliang."

Xinliang is so big, it is impossible for His Highness to take all the land as his own. After all, the biggest source of income for the king is the land tax from the fief.

Gu Yuzhi knew this. After all, he was not an ordinary carefree prince. He learned the "Three Character Classic" and "The Thousand Character Classic" in the palace, and gradually understood other knowledge as he grew older.

Xie Changshi would often talk to Gu Yuzhi about the king's status in the fiefdom, and land tax was a very important point among them.

However, Xie Changshi is a long history after all, and he is definitely not as experienced as Magistrate Qi in local affairs. He immediately nodded: "Prefect Qi is right. His Highness's fiefdom so far can be described as deserted. If you want to make Xinliang For development, people are a must.”

However, the refugees outside the city...

Xie Changshi glanced at Magistrate Qi and felt that Magistrate Qi was doing business privately.

"A number of houses fell down in the suburbs this year. These people also want to build houses in Changzhou. The most important thing is that they all rent land from landlords. Therefore, I believe that with the temptation of three years of tax exemption, these people will go to Xinliang to open up wasteland. The possibility is extremely high.”

No one wants to leave their home, but the key is they don’t have a home now!
