The Immortal Emperor is so fertile.
Chapter 10: Make friends with the county magistrate and buy a concubine!
Chapter 10: Make friends with the county magistrate and buy a concubine! (Please collect, recommend, vote, everything!)
The house behind the county government office.
Although the county town is in ruins and the city walls have many gaps, it is full of pavilions and towers, and there are exotic flowers and plants everywhere. There are gusts of fragrant breeze, and in the distance there are faint sounds of stringed instruments and women singing.
When Qin Tian walked out from behind the flower tree, he saw a group of people wearing gold and silver and silk.
When these people saw him, they all looked at him in surprise.
The young master of the Qin family is worthy of the title of exiled immortal!
Qingyang County Magistrate Zhou Liang's eyes lit up with surprise.
Well, he doesn't like men, mainly because he has other thoughts.
He has a niece who is also a cultivator. She became a disciple of Xuanying Tianzong of Huai'an Prefecture. She has been a disciple for seven years and has reached the eighth level of Qi training...
With this kind of aptitude and cultivation, if one wants to break through Qi training and successfully build a foundation, it will probably take twenty years!
So, it is better to get down from the mountain early, get married, have children, and enjoy the rest of your life...
He couldn't find the right person before.
Now that he saw Qin Tian, his mind suddenly became active.
Qin Tian is also a cultivator and has a good appearance. I think his arrogant niece will not refuse!
But now there is business to discuss.
County Magistrate Zhou waved his hand, motioning Qin Tian to sit next to him, and then began to ask the legal advisor to recite the taxes that the court would collect this year.
Not much actually.
After all, this is a world of cultivating immortals. Mundane money and food are of little use to cultivators. The officials, nobles, and royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty are basically all cultivators. What they care about are spiritual stones, spiritual mines, and natural treasures.
Therefore, the taxes collected were mainly used for secular military and government expenses!
But in the world of cultivating immortals, all power is concentrated in one person.
The army is of little use.
A cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage has the ability to fly with a sword and break monuments and rocks with his bare hands. In one day and one night, it is enough to kill tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers!
It is also for this reason that Qingyang County, with a population of one million, has only more than 700 garrison troops and a hundred or so constables to maintain daily order.
But even though the imperial court collected little tax, the local gentry and powerful still cried poor...
Qin Tian followed his father's instructions and bargained with the county magistrate, and successfully obtained a 50% discount...
After all, 'Qi training is powerful'...
But the country gentry did not have such a great reputation.
The most they got was a 30% discount.
But that's enough.
In fact, there were so many things in previous years. Everything was just a formality. People gave each other face and everyone lived in peace and shared the peace.
As County Magistrate Zhou listened to the accounts summarized by his lawyer, a satisfied smile slowly appeared on his lips.
His mission for this year is accomplished.
The owner is happy.
The guests were naturally happy too.
So, at the banquet, there was a lot of drinking, singing and dancing, and the whole place was peaceful and prosperous. No one even remembered that the cultivators had breached the dam, causing tens of thousands of people to be displaced...
Qin Tian suppressed the contempt in his heart and turned his grief and anger into appetite.
At this time, a man in his thirties who looked like a clerk came hurriedly. He first glanced at Qin Tian, was slightly stunned, and then leaned close to County Magistrate Zhou and whispered in his ear.
Immortal cultivators have sharp ears and eyes. Although the clerk and Magistrate Zhou tried their best to lower their voices, Qin Tian still heard every word of their conversation.
The clerk's report was actually simple.
He recounted the story of how Qin Tian bought out Wang Tiezhu's family at the city gate and recruited a large number of refugees as tenant farmers.
After hearing this, County Magistrate Zhou did not take the matter to heart.
In the world of cultivating immortals, the power of mortals is as insignificant as that of ants, and things like annexing land and gathering refugees are totally not worth mentioning.
Besides, County Magistrate Zhou had also heard about Qin Tian's behavior during this period.
Within a year, he took four concubines...
Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Qin Tian gathering some refugees for his own use, and it also reduces the burden on him as the magistrate of Qingyang County!
No fault, and you deserve a reward!
So, County Magistrate Zhou turned his head and looked at Qin Tian: "My dear nephew, you have returned to your hometown after completing your studies. I wonder what your plans are for the future?" "Lie down."
Qin Tian had a salty smile on his face: "Buy more farmland, take more concubines, and have more children..."
County Magistrate Zhou was completely confused.
The surrounding gentry had the same expression.
But when they think about it carefully, they seem to be lying down as Qin Tian said...
He has a lovely wife and concubines, many children and grandchildren, fine clothes and delicious food, and is surrounded by people.
There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with this kind of life!
"As expected of an immortal, you are more insightful than ordinary people like us..."
"Such a brilliant statement should be made public!"
During the banquet, the atmosphere became lively and enthusiastic again.
County Magistrate Zhou returned a few glasses of wine, then stared at Qin Tian beside him and got straight to the point: "My dear nephew, I have a niece who is also a cultivator. She is now cultivating in the Xuanying Tian Sect and has even broken through to the eighth level of Qi training. I wonder if she can be your concubine?"
Qin Tian was silent.
"Jiazhuoqi" is a humble term.
What County Magistrate Zhou meant was that he wanted him to marry the other party’s niece!
This is good.
But he was somewhat reluctant.
After all, he is a man with a system!
How could a woman who was only at the eighth level of Qi training be qualified to be his wife?
Besides, he has Bai Yueguang in his heart.
That is a figure standing on the top, with fluttering clothes, outlining the infinite beauty of a woman’s back…
So, he smiled and shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, uncle. I want to play for a few more years. I really don't want to start a family so soon... Unless your niece is willing to be my concubine..."
County Magistrate Zhou was furious.
After all, Zhou Meiniang was his niece and a lady from a noble family. Moreover, she was an immortal cultivator. How could she become someone's concubine?
He snorted coldly and said no more.
But next to County Magistrate Zhou, the middle-aged man dressed as a legal advisor said tentatively: "There is a saying among the people that it is better to be the concubine of a hero than the wife of an ordinary person..."
"I think you have the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, and a handsome face. If Miss Seventeen becomes your concubine, it won't be a disgrace to herself..."
"I just wonder how much you are willing to pay for a concubine?"
……
County Magistrate Zhou was stunned.
The master is also from the Zhou family, and his status in the family is higher than his. If the master's talent is not mediocre, and he has not achieved anything in studying, cultivating immortals, and practicing martial arts, he would not have come to his side to be an aide...
In the master's view, everything in the world is about exchange.
Although County Magistrate Zhou's niece has spiritual roots and is a cultivator, her aptitude is too poor and she no longer has any chance of becoming an immortal in this life, so it is normal for her to be used to exchange resources for the family.
Qin Tian was silent for a moment, and also asked tentatively: "Ten low-grade spirit stones?"
The master shook his head.
"thirty?"
"Fifty at most, otherwise forget it!"
Qin Tian's face was full of determination.
When he was an outer disciple in Qingyun Sect, he was only allocated ten low-grade spirit stones every year as training resources.
You know, Qingyun Sect is the one that dominates the entire Leizhou!
Xuanying Tianzong?
Have not heard!
An ordinary sect like this can only give three or five spirit stones to Qi Refining disciples every year at most...
Fifty spirit stones is actually a lot to buy a concubine!
But the master doesn't think so.
He stretched out his hand and gestured: "Sixty-six pieces of low-grade spirit stones! If you agree, I can make the decision. The thousand-mile Mangshan Mountain in the north of Shiqiao Village, together with the tens of thousands of acres of land under the mountain, will all be given to you as a dowry!"
