Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 134 Returning to the Imperial Capital

Her Majesty’s eyes almost bulged out, and she almost couldn’t hold back her screams!
"Each warehouse stores [-] dan of grain! How can there be so much land in Yuanjiang County!"

Sixty kilograms per stone, and each warehouse stores 120 million kilograms of grain. Even if the entire Yuanjiang County is expanded, how big will it be?And where did Zhao Kang get so much food!
Zhao Kang said with some embarrassment: "Yuanjiang County didn't pay taxes a few years ago. It was relatively wealthy at that time. One-fifth of the annual income was used to collect grain. A lot of grain was imported from Qingzhou and Jiangzhou. Bought somewhere else.”

I had no choice but to be frightened of hunger. During that time, Zhao Kang was called a food-buying maniac by Zhang Long and others.

"The granary was built on several pieces of land purchased by us in Yuanjiang County and surrounding counties."

Zhao Kang was a little embarrassed when he said this, because the human resources in Yuanjiang County were really tight.

So he and Gao Quan had been trying every means to trick people from surrounding counties into coming to work in Yuanjiang County for a while.

After those people came to Yuanjiang County, they never left, leaving a lot of uninhabited land vacant in the county seat.

At this time, Gao Quan came to the door with money and bought the land at a low price.

At the beginning, Yuanjiang County could only accommodate a few thousand people. By deceiving people and buying land, it expanded step by step. Now it is enough to accommodate 10 people, and this business is still going on.

Even Zhao Kang himself was shocked when he heard Zhang Long report the amount of grain stored in the granary a few days ago.

Eighteen warehouses total tens of millions of kilograms of grain, which is enough to help Jiangzhou victims tide over the difficulties.

Xiao Linglong was dumbfounded and murmured: "So you are the one with the most food in Qian Country."

The total grain warehouses of government offices across the country are probably about the same as the grain storage in Yuanjiang County, Zhaokang.

The Ministry of Finance must know that it’s better not to go crazy, how much of a fucking tax is this!
"Hey, isn't mine your Majesty's?"

Seeing that Xiao Linglong was not bothered about her failure to pay taxes, Zhao Kang boldly sat down next to Her Majesty the Empress.

She reached out and dug into her sleeve, and found a thick stack of banknotes. Her Majesty's eyes widened just by looking at it.

How much money does this cost!

Zhao Kang handed it over: "Nuo, these are all my family assets."

Even Her Majesty the Empress, a little greed flashed in her eyes, and she pretended to be puzzled: "What are you doing for me?"

Zhao Kang came closer and whispered: "My wife is in charge of all the men's money in my hometown."

Her Majesty’s ears instantly turned red, and they were so beautiful with their crystal clear and tender ears.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Xiao Linglong said angrily.

Zhao Kang said deliberately: "Then I will put it away, Your Majesty."

The next moment, almost like a grab, Xiao Linglong grabbed a large handful of banknotes in her hands and started counting them like a money addict with a smile on her face.

Looking at the cute appearance, Zhao Kang smiled knowingly and moved his butt again: "No need to count, a total of 680 million taels."

"Disappointing!" Xiao Linglong snorted, but her heart was filled with joy.

This bastard didn't expect to make so much money over the years. These banknotes alone are worth the tax revenue of Qianguo for two or three years.

With this money and Zhao Kang's food, the disaster in Jiangzhou was finally solved.

Looking at Her Majesty the Empress's relaxed brows and the joy from the heart, Zhao Kang smiled unconsciously.

Is there anything more worthy of happiness than the happiness of the person you like?

It should be gone.

After returning to the imperial capital, all the civil and military officials were a little tired after a long journey, so Xiao Linglong did not hold a court meeting.

After giving everyone a day off, Zhao Kang returned to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion first.

During the time he left the imperial capital, Qin Yufeng took care of the moving matters like a hostess.

When I heard that Zhao Kang was back, he immediately came with a group of people to greet him.

"How is it? Are you satisfied?" Qin Yufeng looked at Zhao Kang expectantly.

"Is that too much?"

Zhao Kang couldn't help but smile, looking at the crowd of servants kneeling in front of him, estimated to be no less than fifty.

He was really uncomfortable.

Qin Yufeng smiled and said: "This Imperial Master's Office is so big, people have to be arranged in every place."

As she spoke, the woman stood up on her tiptoes and whispered: "I bought them all from Yaxing. There will be no spies from Prince Ning."

"You're thoughtful, but if he has intentions like this, you can't see through it. It's okay."

Zhao Kang nodded, held the waist tightly and walked into the main hall of the Imperial Master's Mansion.

Falling in Zhao Kang's arms, with her head gently pressed against Zhao Kang's chest, Qin Yufeng asked caringly: "How was the result of returning to Yuanjiang County this time?"

"The harvest is not small, and there is good news."

Zhao Kang told about his appointment as a marquis, and Qin Yufeng was extremely surprised: "Female a marquis! It can be hereditary and replaceable! It will never happen again in this dynasty!"

"Indeed, so maybe I will become the target of public criticism. It is estimated that the imperial edict will be issued soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant ran out of the gate: "Master Imperial Master, the imperial edict has arrived!"

"You really can say whatever you want!"

The chief eunuch took the imperial edict and led a group of people into the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. As soon as Zhao Kang was about to go out to greet him, the chief eunuch said quickly: "The Imperial Preceptor does not need to be polite."

"I'm sorry, sir."

Zhao Kang smiled and said, Qin Yufeng and other servants knelt down to greet the imperial edict, but Zhao Kang did not. He did not need to salute even when he met Her Majesty the Empress.

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: The imperial master Zhao Kang is specially appointed as the Marquis of Anguo, and his descendants will inherit it hereditary..."

"Zhao Kang accepts the order."

The chief eunuch handed the imperial edict to Zhao Kang: "Congratulations to the Imperial Master. Oh no, maybe it would be better to call him Lord Marquis."

"My father-in-law is joking. This trip has troubled my father-in-law. Don't refuse the tea money."

Zhao Kang handed over a banknote. The head eunuch didn't want to accept it, but he couldn't resist Zhao Kang.

It was a feeling in my heart.

have a look!We usually proclaim imperial edicts to those bastards, who can think highly of our family?
The Renguo Master has such a powerful position and still gives us hard-earned money. There really is a gap between people!

"I'm afraid the Imperial Master will be very busy later, so we won't disturb you." The eunuch chief was very sensible.

The moment this imperial edict left the palace, the imperial list had been posted, and it was estimated that it had already caused a storm in the city.

After all, the matter of becoming a marquis is really not a small matter.

Sure enough, just as Zhao Kang saw off the chief eunuch, there was a group of people carrying a big box in the distance.

As he walked, he said: "Congratulations to the Imperial Preceptor, congratulations to the Imperial Preceptor..."

Zhao Kang raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Close the door!"

Qin Yufeng was stunned for a moment and then said quickly: "Close the door!"

Only then did the servants react and quickly close the door. Zhao Kang said casually: "Send someone to guard the door. If anyone comes, tell them that our master will not see guests today, and no one will see them."

After saying that, Zhao Kang hugged Qin Yufeng and returned to the house.

The man carrying a box of gifts had just arrived at the door when he saw the door of the Imperial Master's Mansion slamming shut, and he was stunned.
