The Reborn Wife is Farming

The second prince died, and there was an edict of guilt and a letter beside him, Qi Haoran looked at it, and asked someone to search the camp, only then was he sure that all the confidantes of the second prince had left.

"General, give your subordinates five hundred horses, and your subordinates will definitely be able to chase him back."

Qi Haoran waved his hand and said: "Don't chase after them, let them go, block the news, and don't let outsiders know that Qin Xiang and the second prince committed suicide for the time being." After finishing speaking, he put away the letter and edict.

Once the second prince dies, the rest of the Chengdu Mansion will be recovered. Qi Haoran only needs to bring a large army to the gate of the city, and the county magistrate inside will open the gate and welcome people in.

After he walked through the rest of the county and left the soldiers stationed, he brought the rest of the army back to the court.

The news of the second prince and Prime Minister Qin's death had already spread to Lin'an City and all over the country. The bandits in Jiangling Mansion considered it for a long time, and finally surrendered.

At this point, the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty after fleeing south was considered to be stable. Qi Xiuyuan threw out several edicts in a row to let the displaced people return to their hometowns or resettle on the spot. The land can be distributed and tax-free for three years.

It is forbidden to keep hermits in captivity. Once a hermit is found in captivity, all his property will be confiscated and relocated.

The latter one is for the aristocratic family and the rich, because only they can keep hermits in captivity.

Zhang Cheng and other officials think this move is too radical, and the three-year tax exemption period is too long. You must know that the three-year survey by Qi Xiuyuan is nationwide, and it is only the most basic. In some poor places, the tax exemption period has reached five years. In 2009, the national treasury had no money, and the country's income mainly came from farmers paying taxes. Three years of tax exemption was equivalent to the loss of nearly two-thirds of the national treasury's income within three years.

Income is down, but spending is up.

Reconstruction after the war is not just a matter of talk, it requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

And both of these require money.

Qi Xiuyuan was being irritated by this complicated state affairs, and said impatiently: "The imperial court has always banned hermits, so I didn't realize there was anything wrong with this." After saying that, he sneered: "I know that some wealthy families are used to keeping them in captivity. Hidden household, as soon as the edict comes out, it’s okay for them to stop honestly. If they dare to turn a blind eye, or worsen the situation, anyway, the treasury is also short of money. It is to continue colluding with the rich and powerful to help hide the hidden households, and all beheaded for public display."

After Qi Xiuyuan said these words with a full of hostility, he shook his sleeves and left.

Zhang Cheng and the others were captured by Qi Xiuyuan's hostility, and only recovered after they left.

They didn't expect Qi Xiuyuan to be so stubborn, and they looked at each other with a little worry, fearing that Qi Xiuyuan had just passed the crisis, and the country that had just settled down would be in chaos again.

But who knows that there is someone in this world with a bigger temper and a stronger temper than Qi Xiuyuan.

Before Qi Xiuyuan's words were suppressed by Zhang Cheng and others, Qi Haoran caused a big incident in Jiangling Mansion.

Because of the surrender of the bandits in Jiangling Mansion, Qi Xiuyuan asked Qi Haoran, who was returning to the imperial court, to go there to recruit those bandits, and then return to Beijing. Anyway, he won't be enthroned until June, so it's still early.

Qi Haoran's incorporation work went smoothly. After leaving a part of the garrison army, he continued to walk to Lin'an City with the bandit army and his own army after the incorporation.

From Jiangling Mansion to Lin'an City, you have to go through Dongting Lake, which is a rich and beautiful place. Coincidentally, Qi Haoran and the others happened to be stationed at that place when they stopped again.

Everything in sight was green, and the fertile soil was covered with farmland for thousands of miles, but Qi Haoran didn't bother to look at this scene that heralded a good harvest, because he was in a hurry to go to the city to find gifts for Mu Yangling and the child.

Ever since he asked the class teacher to return to court, he has been worrying about what gifts to give to Mu Yangling and the children, but he has been dragging it on until now because he has no money and no ideas.

But he is rich now, because the bandit leader bribed him when he recruited bandits two days ago.

Although the money was not much, there was still five thousand taels. Qi Haoran accepted it happily, and then went to the city to buy things with the money, but he couldn't find a suitable one in Jiangling Mansion. This time he was stationed outside Dongting County. Hearing that the things inside were very good, Qi Haoran went into the city with Fei Bai and two guards in casual clothes and with money in his pocket.

The key point is in casual clothes.

It was getting late after Qi Haoran had bought the gifts, and the city gate was closed, thinking that he had to let the token open the city gate anyway, so he might as well stay and have a meal to comfort his stomach.

You know, he hasn't eaten any good food for more than a year.

Qi Haoran brought Fei Bai and two guards into the box and ordered a table of meat, and when he was eating, he heard the sound of the box next door.

Qi Haoran also knew that he must have been tricked, otherwise it would be such a coincidence, he just entered a box, and the next door was discussing a secret matter, the wooden board of the box was broken without any trace, and the sound was just enough for him to hear .

Qi Haoran has internal skills, and the skills are profound, and his hearing has always been better than ordinary people, but not many people know about it.

Qi Haoran put down his chopsticks, and pondered for a while with a sullen face. Seeing that Fei Bai and the two guards were looking at him tremblingly, he waved his hands indifferently and said, "Continue to eat, and go do something important with the master after eating."

Qi Haoran said that doing big things is big things. After the four of them had eaten and drank enough, Qi Haoran led someone into the next box, tied up the three people inside, pushed away the shopkeeper who stepped forward to stop him, jumped on the horse, and said in a low voice. He ordered: "Get out of the city immediately!"

Qi Haoran has a token, so he can enter and leave any city at will. Their speed is unexpected and fast. Before the opponent has time to react, Qi Haoran has asked someone to open the gate of the small city, led them out, and returned to the Qi family army. No one can do anything not him.

Qi Haoran threw the people to the ground, looked at them gravely, then turned to Fei Bai and said, "Ask someone you can trust to watch them, if they die, you don't have to live."

Fei Bai shuddered, and quickly called Qi Haoran's confidant, and separated the three of them to watch over them, and no one was allowed to come near them.

Qi Haoran returned to the tent with an ugly expression, and called his adjutant, "Order the soldiers and horses, tomorrow we will go to Cui's house, I want to see how rich this family is."

Qi Haoran doesn't know how to play tricks and tricks, and he's not all smart, but that doesn't mean he's stupid. Why would he use his weaknesses to do what others are good at?

Master is not a puppet, since he dares to plot against Master, he must have the ability to withstand accidents.

One of the arrested people has been waiting to be interrogated, but as time passed, he found that no one came to interrogate him, and he didn't even see Qi Haoran's face again. His face became more and more ugly, and he struggled to watch him people.

But his hands and feet were bound, and his mouth was stuffed with cloth strips. Not only could he not move or speak, he couldn't even commit suicide.
