Fang Zhifu walked back and forth in the study excitedly, and asked Qi Haoran with piercing eyes, "But even if this cow is raised, everyone has no money to buy it?"

"A Ling said she could rent it to them."

Fang Zhifu clapped his hands, and threw out good words as if he didn't want money, "Good man, General Qi, you have a good man under your command."

Qi Xiuyuan twitched his lips, and said, "Master Fang, Ah Ling only has 300 acres of land, even if he wants to raise it, he can't raise much..."

"It doesn't matter, isn't it the land? I'll allocate it to her," Fang Zhifu said grandly, "But after the cows are bred, they must be rented to our government office for a hundred. Don't worry, I will not lower the price. I will pay as much as I give to others, and good civilians and military households have the same leasehold rights, so you can’t favor military households just because she is a military household.”

Qi Xiuyuan twitched the corner of his mouth, and said, "You have to ask Ah Ling about this, but I can help you deal with the one hundred of the government office."

Seeing that Fang Zhifu was still not satisfied, Qi Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Since Mr. Fang can find out that Ah Ling is one of my subordinates, then he should know that the child has always been soft-hearted, and it is the worst thing to see anyone suffer."

When Fang Zhifu heard it, he immediately expressed his feelings. He took office last autumn, and when he arrived, he was faced with all kinds of businesses waiting for prosperity. Although the business in Hanzhong Prefecture was booming, the people outside the city lived a different life.

Although Fang Zhifu is not a clean and honest official, he also has a heart of compassion, but Qi Xiuyuan removed all the things in the treasury before he came. Of course, Qi Xiuyuan said that it was moved when the Jin soldiers retreated, but he believed It is a ghost that Jin Bing was able to move all the rice in the granary when he was running for his life.

Of course, he could find no proof.

If you can't find evidence, you can't ask Qi Xiuyuan for food. You can only force the merchants who come and go to pay more tax money or give him more bribes, and he will use the money to buy food from the merchants to help the people.

But there is only so much money, and there are twelve counties and thirty-two villages and towns under the rule of Hanzhong Mansion, how could it be possible to save them?

When Fang Zhifu felt that he could only throw away the black hat, Mu Yangling came to collect the sheep. Of course, he didn't find out at first, but when he found out, Mu Yangling's business had already reached ten thousand taels.

The people under the Hanzhong Mansion survived that winter safely, so the Fang Zhifu really wanted to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Mu Yangling, but when they sent someone to look for it, they found that he was not a good citizen, but a military household, and he was also related to Qi Xiuyuan's brother That's right, Fang Zhifu's plan was temporarily suppressed.

At that time, he didn't understand Qi Xiuyuan, and he instinctively thought that Mu Yangling was the brother of the Qi family who was doing this. After all, how could a military household get so much money?

Since Qi Xiuyuan intends to do good deeds without leaving his name, there is no need for him to rush to thank Dade.

But a year has passed, and he has more or less seen some ways to do it. It is the business of the little girl alone, so Fang Zhifu intends to continue to cooperate with others, and hopes that Mu Yangling will continue to work hard to buy sheep for a year.

She was a girl who was easy to soften her heart, and she was so ruthless before that she lowered the price to one or two or five yuan, but after seeing the lives of those common people, she actually raised the price.

If it were him, Fang Zhifu felt that he would definitely take the opportunity to lower the price below one or two yuan, so Fang Zhifu, who is not noble enough, likes Mu Yangling who is noble.

Hearing Qi Xiuyuan's answer, Fang Zhifu nodded and thought to himself, if not, then he would ask those ordinary people dressed in rags to go to the cattle farm to beg her, and I don't believe she can harden her heart and not rent.

Qi Haoran was more concerned about how many acres of land the prefect Fang planned to give to Mu Yangling. The prefect Fang twitched his lips and said, "Little general, I didn't say give it away. The land is rented out."

Qi Haoran was not happy, "How much would it cost? All Ling's money was used to buy calves. If he still spent the money to rent land, how many cows would he save? Mr. Fang just said that he supports farming a lot, I Look at it and say it verbally, if you really support it, you should give her the land directly."

Fang Zhifu said sternly: "This is not acceptable, what if Miss Mu turns around and sells the land or uses it for other purposes?"

Qi Xiuyuan hurriedly smiled and said peaceably: "It's simple. Raising cattle is not something that can be done overnight. I don't think it's better than this. Master Fang gave Ah Ling free use of the land for 20 years, but she can only use these lands. Raising cattle, once it is changed to another way, the yamen can take it back, what do you think?"

Fang Zhifu bowed his head in thought.

Qi Xiuyuan smiled and said: "My lord, how many households in Hanzhong Mansion have cattle? Once this cattle farm is built, it will benefit the common people, and it will be a great thing in the future. How many people in this world are willing to spend this energy, money and time to do it?" This issue?"

Qi Haoran sighed: "Don't we know the importance of cattle to farming? But what was the situation of cattle ten years ago, it is still the same now."

Fang Zhifu gritted his teeth, asked someone to bring a map, looked at the grassland, closed his eyes and drew a circle, looked straight at Qi Xiuyuan and said: "General Qi, I'm giving you this face, it's five hundred dollars in total. Acres of land, she can use it for twenty years."

Qi Xiuyuan didn't expect Fang Zhifu to be so generous. Hearing this, he laughed, got up and said, "I'll be the guarantor."

Fang Zhifu breathed a sigh of relief, and then saw the roster still on the side, and was a little annoyed. They came to talk about labor, so why did he pay five hundred acres of land while talking about it?

Fang Zhifu immediately shouted that he was fooled, "General Qi, your brothers have dragged me in, no, you have to give me 6,000 people, 5,000 people are too few."

Qi Xiuyuan nodded without thinking, "Okay, I'll give you 6,000 people, the roster is here, all the family members are connected with lines, adults only need to mark it with a blue pen.

Fang Zhifu, who was worried that Qi Xiuyuan would not agree, suddenly regretted it, and he should have mentioned 6,500 people...

Naturally, land should be allocated when someone is selected. Not only must a part of the land be allocated to Qi Xiuyuan as military land, but also those newcomers who have entered the Hanzhong Mansion will also be allocated land.

Under Fang Zhifu's rule, six thousand and two people were added at once, and he was very happy. Even though a large piece of land was allocated, he didn't feel bad. Anyway, those lands were reserved and no one cultivated them. In two years, those lands were completely desolate.

Qi Xiuyuan and Qi Haoran walked out of the Fang mansion together, Qi Xiuyuan was very happy with a smile on his face, "The prefect of Fang is a good official because he sees the slippery ones."

"Brother, I'm going to tell Ah Ling the good news. I'll accompany her to the yamen to go through the formalities tomorrow, lest people in the yamen bully her for being young."

Qi Xiuyuan glanced at his younger brother, and seeing that he was not thinking about it, he patted his head and said, "I'm talking about business with you, I'll go to Ling's place in the afternoon." Qi Xiuyuan asked seriously: "I'm asking you, that Tang Jing What's going on with Yuanhui?"
