Chapter 39 Su Quan's Banquet

Chapter 39 Su Quan's Banquet
When he came to the county government office, the first thing Zhao Qian looked for was the population and land registration list of Yi County.

However, Zhao Qian's face was gloomy after seeing it. He had been in Yi County for several months, and he knew the situation in Yi County quite well. The records in the register were obviously less than the actual situation.

Zhao Yun saw Zhao Qian's expression, understood Zhao Qian's thoughts, and said, "Brother, the record in the roster does not match the actual situation. This is actually quite normal."Zhao Qian looked at Zhao Yun with doubts in his eyes.

Zhao Yun smiled slightly and explained: "Brother, there are nearly [-] tenant farmers and a thousand acres of fertile land in our tenant village alone, but these are not on the county government register. One can imagine how many have not been registered."

Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Zhao Qian realized that he himself was a small landlord, and the tenants and land he owned were all under his own name. He only needed to pay certain taxes on time, and other county governments didn't care at all.

Thinking about my own assets, Yi County is only above the middle level, and there are more landlords, gentry, etc., and the population and land they own can be imagined.

Zhao Qian sighed deeply. This is entirely due to this era, and it is difficult for him to change. If the population and land controlled by the gentry and landlords are forcibly registered in the register, they are likely to rebel against him.

Zhao Qian's current strength is still too weak and needs the support of these people, and their interests cannot be moved for the time being.

With the help of Zhao Yun, Zhao Qian finally straightened out the affairs of the county government office. Afterwards, the two returned together. After all, they still needed a lot of rest after working hard all day.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Zhao Qian, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun came to the gate of the county seat. First, they watched Niu Liang lead people to send Mou Ci's body away; then they watched Wang Shan and Zhang Li, escorting the Xu family Dozens of people went to Jizhou.

After sending the two teams away, Zhao Qian led his people straight into Xu's house, and everything there was confiscated. In other words, it all belonged to Zhao Qian.

This Xu family is indeed one of the largest big families in Yi County, and there are three hundred grains alone!

One grain is three thousand dendrobium, one dendrobium is ten dou, and one dou is ten liters!With these grains, Zhao Qian can let go of his hands and feet and expand his team!

In addition to food, other money and items are also quite abundant, so Zhao Qian moved to buy horses. After all, in the era of cold weapons, the impact of cavalry cannot be underestimated.

After counting the accounts, even though he was mentally prepared, Zhao Qian was still taken aback.No wonder when I helped Su Quan get back six carts of belongings, the other party gave me a cart without blinking an eye. It turned out that it was just because of his wealth!

A mere carload of belongings is really worthless.

"Report! My lord, Su Quan has issued an invitation card for you. I hope you can go to the Su residence for a banquet." A soldier ran in from outside to report.

Now except for the tenant farmers in the tenant farms, Zhao Qian asked them to call him the master, whether it was the refugee village or the training team, after all, he had established his influence.

Zhao Qian nodded, took the invitation, and said, "Well, I see, you can go down."

After the soldiers retreated, Zhao Qian turned around and said to Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, "My dear brothers, it would be nice to come with me to the Su residence for a banquet."

Zhao Yun nodded in agreement, but Zhang Fei waved his hands, shook his head and said: "My old Zhang thinks that old man Su is very unpleasant, so I won't go with my elder brother, so as not to be upset."

Zhao Qian understood that Zhang Fei was very disgusted by Su Quan's twists and turns when he spoke.

"That's fine, Yide, you go and take over the Xu family's land and tenant farmers. This is also a big strength for us." Zhao Qian said to Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei nodded, patted his chest and said, "Brother, don't worry, my old Zhang knows it well."

Afterwards, Zhao Qian and Zhao Yun rode their horses to Su Mansion.

After arriving at the Su Mansion, Su Quan and his people had been waiting at the door for a long time. When they saw Zhao Qian coming, they hurried forward to greet him.

Zhao Qian and Zhao Yun got off their horses, and immediately a servant of the Su family came forward, took the reins of the horses, led them to the stables, and brushed and fed the horses.

Su Quan stepped forward, clasped his hands together and said, "Master Zhao can come to my Su family in his busy schedule. It's really an honor for my Su family. It makes my humble house flourish."

Zhao Qian returned a salute and said with a smile: "Patriarch Su is very polite. When I first came to Yi County, I was taken care of by the county. The county will remember it in my heart, and I dare not forget it."

Zhao Qian has already called himself "this county". Since he has already exercised the power of the county magistrate, there is no need to be overly modest. Sometimes, it is easier to win the respect of others by acting stronger.

After hearing Zhao Qian's words, Su Quan was overjoyed. Since Zhao Qian said so, the Su family must be much better in Yi County in the future than it is now.

In the past, Xu Hua worked as a servant in the county government and often took the opportunity to suppress the Su family. Now that the Xu family has been defeated, the Su family has naturally become the number one family in Yi County.

"Master Zhao, I'm preparing some wine and food, please come over to taste it." Su Quan said with a gesture of invitation.

"Patriarch Su, please be polite." Zhao Qian nodded, and then led Zhao Yun into the Su residence.

Under the leadership of Su Quan, Zhao Qian came to the main hall of the Su Mansion. Only then did he realize that the last time he came to exchange watches, he went to a side hall.

Under Su Quan's repeated insistence, Zhao Qian sat in the main seat. After Su Quan and Zhao Yun sat down on the left and right, Su Quan slapped his hands twice, and a servant arrived with a brocade box on a tray. In front of Zhao Qian.

The brocade box is very beautiful, with gold edging and gold thread, and a pearl inlaid on each of the four corners. It is really gorgeous, and if it can be preserved for future generations, it is really invaluable.

"Patriarch Su, what do you mean?" Zhao Qian asked.

Su Quan chuckled, pointed at the brocade box, and said, "Lord Zhao, don't be suspicious, please open the brocade box and have a look."

Zhao Qian didn't understand at this time that Su Quan was obviously bribing himself, but he didn't know what was in the brocade box.

Since the brocade boxes are so gorgeous, the things inside must be extraordinary. Thinking of this, Zhao Qian stretched out his hand to open the brocade box and looked inside.

Seeing this, Zhao Qian was really taken aback. He had thought about many results, such as jewelry, gold, etc., but he really didn't expect the things in the brocade box.

Seeing Zhao Qian's expression, Zhao Yun asked curiously, "Brother, what treasure is in the brocade box?"

The corners of Zhao Qian's mouth twitched slightly, he took out the items in the brocade box, handed them to Zhao Yun, and said, "This is it."

Zhao Yun took it and studied it for a long time, but he didn't understand why, so he raised his head and asked: "Zhao Yun has never seen this thing before, please tell me clearly."

Zhao Qian laughed and said: "This thing is called a timer, commonly known as a watch!"
