Chapter 273 Who Is the Lord?

Xue Xu asked him, "You came here empty-handed?"

Ji Wuyin ignored him and looked him over from head to toe, and found that the old man was indeed dressed like a dog, "You have been doing well recently, and you are living in a separate official residence?"

"Answer me, did you really come here empty-handed?"

Ji Wuyin asked instead, "Tell me first, who is your new lord?" He had been tortured by this question for too long.

Xue Xu persisted and asked, "Tell me first, did you bring any food here?"

"If you don't tell me, neither will I!"

The two old men, who were over a hundred years old in total, were fighting each other in their eyes, looking very childish.

In the end, Xue Xu was the first to avert his eyes, but he said with certainty, "I know even if you don't tell me. You must have brought food. I don't believe that with your business sense, you don't know how easy it is to sell food in Liaodong County."

Ji Wuyin snorted and fired back, "Do you think I won't be able to guess who your new master is if you don't tell me?"

"By the way, after you have made such great achievements, your lord only gave you the position of Chief Registrar of Hou City?"

Xue Xu drank tea and ignored his temptation.

His merits cannot be put into words, so he received the least reward.

However, he is already scheduled to be the next supervisor of Liaodong County. There is something wrong with the current supervisory history of Liaodong County, Mr. Lu and others are investigating him. If he makes another meritorious deed and deals with the opponent, his seat will be freed up, and he will be able to ascend to the throne.

"That's right. After all, your lord, the eldest son of the Qin family, is only related by marriage to Mr. Lu. It's not easy to get you a lord of the city -"

Before Ji Wuyin finished speaking, he was interrupted, "Who are you looking down on by saying this? I'll tell you secretly..."

Hearing what happened next, Ji Wuyin's eyes widened, "Prince Qin actually asked Governor Lu to give you the position of supervisory history?" Liaodong County supervisory history? In charge of the supervision of the county.

He quickly drank some water to calm down his shock, and after a while, Ji Wuyin said, "Prince Qin is very generous. It's not in vain for you to risk your life and go deep into the Xianbei grassland."

Old God Xue Xu asked on the ground, "Who said that my lord is the heir of the Qin family?"

Ji Wuyin was stunned. It's not him, it's impossible!

With all the signs, he didn't think his speculation was wrong. Otherwise, why would Lu Desheng promote him?

"If it's not Prince Qin, who is that?"

"Tell me first, did you bring any food?"

Ji Wuyin said impatiently, "At the back, the large army of grain transporters is at the back!"

"But I have said it, if the price of this food is not enough, I don't care who your new lord is, I will not sell it!"

Xue Xuqi asked, "Don't you want to take it back if you can't pay the price?"

Ji Wuyin said stubbornly, "Why not?" If you want to take advantage of him, there's no way!

"I know, my lord will definitely not let you suffer." What a stinky old man who wants money!

"Who is your new master?"

"Eat first, and I'll tell you after I finish eating. I've been supervising the work all day, and I'm starving to death."

Ji Wuyin rolled his eyes tiredly. To be honest, he really wished he could go up and give this old immortal a few blows. Others had arrived in Liaodong County, but this old immortal was still whetting his appetite! Human?

When the meal arrived, there were two bowls of white rice, one meat and one vegetarian.

Ji Wuyin also ate some.

The rice here in Liaodong County does taste pretty good, although it's not as good as his favorite Japonica rice.

Ji Wuyin asked, "A road is being built in Houcheng?" He saw it when he came. Unexpectedly, Xue Xu was currently supervising the construction of roads.

According to his visual inspection, they also widened the official road. The current width of the official road is twice that of the original. Such a wide official road is very friendly to caravans.

"Yeah."

"You are so sparing in manpower. If this year's corvee collection is used up, what will happen to the city defense, channels, embankments, etc. in the future?"

Xue Xu looked at him and smiled, "What's so hard about this? My lord is just like you. He always says that money can make all the difference."

Ji Wuyin agrees with this. Money can make things work. If it can't be pushed, it must be because the money is not in place.

But then again, there are still few people who are willing to spend money to hire civilians to do these jobs. Xue Xu, the new lord, has great ideas.

Xue Xu lowered his voice, "Do you know how much money my lord spent on this city?"

Ji Wuyin looked at him, waiting for him to reveal the secret.

"No less than this number." Xue Xu made a gesture.

Ji Wuyin nodded, indicating that he understood, "One hundred thousand taels, that's not bad."

Now they not only have the Houcheng plot, but also the entire Liaodong County, which is worth it.

If such a good thing is to be given to those aristocratic families in the South, they are willing to add two hundred thousand to it, not to mention one hundred thousand.

What's better? Xue Xu said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "You think my lord is you, so rich." Wait, he brought this up because he wanted to prove how courageous Madam Six was, and he was not trying to compete with this guy for financial resources!

"Isn't your master very good at making money?" He wrote to himself before, and one of them mentioned the importance of the investment environment. People who can understand this truth should have good business skills. There will be a shortage of money.

And what's going on with this old immortal? This guy didn't hate the rich before, but now he doesn't look right at himself.

"No matter how good she is at making money, she is still only sixteen years old."

"What? You're only sixteen! Who is your new master?"

"Lu Songli." This time Xue Xu didn't interest him anymore.

Afraid that he didn't understand, he also added, "Lv Desheng's little girl, the sixth wife of the Qin family."

Ji Wuyin: ... I never thought that this old man would recognize a female master!

"Wait, she is Xie Zhan's previous fiancée?" Because he helped the old man to connect Xie Zhan and the Chen family before, he focused on checking Xie Zhan and remembered that there was such a record in the information.

He is old, but his memory is still good.

"Yes. Speaking of which, it was her handiwork that the Xie family was exiled to Lingnan..." Xue Xu told everything he knew.

Ji Wuyin smacked his lips. This method of killing someone with a borrowed knife was really cruel. His control of timing and people's hearts was also extremely accurate.

You know, at that time, the fourth prince supported by the Xie family was about to take the throne, but he had the upper hand. This was all pulled down by her.

The South is still too far from Chang'an, and Ji Wuyin's people can't get such secrets. The officials and relatives in Chang'an know how powerful Lu Songli is, but they are all very secretive.

"How about it, do you want to be like me and serve under the Sixth Madam?" Xue Xu asked him.
