Qin Youli was stunned and asked in surprise: "Governor, I heard it right? I'll give them all the food to eat?"

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Give me the food I have enough to raise my body. In the future, I will open new fields and let them be tenant farmers. They are all useful manpower! First, keep the money for the rice from the white rice in the account. In the future, they have the fields and income, so they can return the money we give to the rice, which is not in the way."

"There is also the account of repairing the houses on them, so they can be paid back in the future."

Qin Youli's face was filled with joy when he heard Qin Zhao say that he could recover the current meal money. He hurriedly said, "It's easy to say, Master Shou, it's easy to say. I now have four accountants who specialize in accounting. I ask them to set up a account for each military household, calculate the details clearly, and let these flag officers repay the accounts in the future."

Qin Youli said, "Governor, let's go to the official hall to take a break?"

Qin Zhao looked at the sky and said, "I have another big thing to do! I want to take some people to Xu Gong's house. You can prepare some wine and food first. Maybe someone will come to congratulate me on my promotion in the evening."

Qin Youli agreed respectfully.

Qin Zhaochao and others at the entrance of the official hall said, "Let's go, Qin Ning, go to the Xu family to propose marriage!"

Qin Ning came over riding a horse, stopped the horse with a whistle, and smiled and said, "Governor, are you going now? Are you going today?"

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Mr. Xu and I have a half-year appointment. I am already late, so of course I will go now. Come with my set of repaired mountain steel armor. I am late and I will show off as if I have just left the battlefield."

Qin Ning shouted, and went to find Qin Zhao's mountain-text steel armor. This was the steel armor seized by Qin Zhao on Jiayu. He found a blacksmith on the way to repair it and sent it to Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao casually clicked the general and ordered ten horse-stained soldiers in fish-scale armor to accompany him. Qin Zhao passed by many prefectures and counties this time. Because he had a wealth of hands, he bought more than 60 war horses to equip his subordinates. Now Qin Zhao has 100 cavalry and 15 personal soldiers with horses.

Everyone rode their whips and rode towards Xu Ming's house.

After riding for half an hour, Qin Zhao hurried to the door of Xu Xianggong's mansion.

The doorman of the Xu family was frightened by Qin Zhao. Seeing the people coming with bright armor, wide swords and horses, and extremely elite, the doorman of the Xu family was so scared that he turned around and wanted to close the door. But the doorman was a little slower, and Qin Ning had already rushed into the door, jumped off and stuck the door of the Xu family.

"Thief Donkey Ball? Seeing that my guardian didn't salute, he still closed the door?"

The Xu family guarding the door looked at Qin Ning, then looked at Qin Zhao, who was wearing steel armor on the horse, and was so scared that he was sweating. How could he know what the guard was? He knelt down with a plop.

"What master?"

Qin Ning kicked the doorman in anger and said, "Governor! Do you know if the commander of the guard knows?"

"Shou...Guardian! Xiaomin has met Guardian!"

Qin Zhao smiled.

Qin Ning waved his hand and said, "Get up! Get up! Go in! Go in! Go and tell your master that Qin Shouzhao is here, and let your master and lady Xu Ming come out to meet the guests!"

The servant was so scared that his face was snow-white. He didn't know what the twelve strong men were going to do from home, so he went inside to report the message.

After a while, Qin Zhao saw Xu Deshan with his son Xu Binquan and the butler Xu Li walked out quickly.

Seeing Qin Zhao's mountain-text steel armor and the silver-shining steel scale armor under Qin Zhao, Xu Deshan took a breath.

He was about to bow down and kowtow when he came up.

Qin Zhao smiled and said immediately: "Mr. Xu is exempt from gifts. I am talking about marriage today. I can't let you give such a big gift!"

After saying this, Qin Zhao jumped off the horse and supported Xu Deshan.

Xu Deshan was happy when he heard this, bowed to Qin Zhao, and held Qin Zhao's hand and said, "Shoujie, I don't know how many people came to my house to match Xu Ming in the past six months. I remember that Qin Shoujie's half-year appointment rejected those people. Later, Qin Shoujie had not returned for a long time, so I waited here."

"Today, I finally waited for the guard."

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Mr. Xu still remembers the half-year appointment?"

Xu Deshan said seriously: "The Master of War is joking, the conscience of heaven and earth! How dare I not remember? I have been thinking about it every day for the past six months, hoping that the Master of War will not return it as soon as possible."

"Last month, other garrisons moved their flags to Jinghai Fortress, and the garrison was promoted everywhere. Our family was extremely happy. They all said that they could have a son-in-law who rode the dragon!"

"I just didn't expect that after half a year, the guard's troops became so fierce, with steel armor. And the guard's master even more unexpectedly, he was promoted from a thousand household official to a guard's official? Is the guard's master a commander, right?"

"According to four levels in a row, this is!"

Qin Zhao smiled.

He waved his hand and said, "Today I am here to propose marriage. This is my gift for you. Please accept it."

In the Ming Dynasty, when marrying wives, it was emphasized in "three media and six entrusting", also called "three books and six rituals".

The first thing that both parties do when they get engaged is to bring a bride to the marriage. If the woman accepts the bride, it means accepting the marriage and getting married if nothing unexpected happens.

Seeing that Qin Zhao was about to complete the procedure for the three media and six recruitment, Xu Deshan was very happy and his face turned red with excitement. The more he did the procedure, the more he paid attention to the woman. In the future, the more he would be given to the woman when he married into the man's house.

The Xu family and a high-ranking official like Qin Zhao got married and were so valued, so the entire Xu family would benefit from it in the future.

Xu Deshan looked carefully at the gift that Qin Zhao took out. It was ten pieces of high-quality silk produced in Huguang and ten pieces of Ganzhou. It was expected that Qin Zhao bought it on the way back.

He smiled and said, "The Guardian has spent money, why did he give such an expensive gift?"

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Now I can just wave my hand and get in and out of several hundred taels of silver. What are these gifts?"

Xu Deshan was secretly talking.

However, he looked at Qin Zhao's momentum of speaking and the elite soldiers behind Qin Zhao who were armed to the teeth, and felt that Qin Zhao was not lying.

Qin Zhao is rich now, and he is no longer something that can be imagined by a well-off family like Xu Deshan.

If it weren't for Xu Ming and Rong Zi's beautiful appearance, how could Qin Zhao pay so much attention to this marriage?

Qin Zhao said: "Since Mr. Xu agreed to this marriage and accepted the gift from his younger generation, the younger generation will write his name, ranking, and birth date to Xu, and give him divination and divination!"

If you do a full set of kung fu during marriage in the Ming Dynasty, you have to use the birth dates and horoscopes of both the couple to tell fortunes. If there is no conflict and danger, the newcomer can formally get engaged.

Xu Deshan laughed and said, "The Guardian is joking. The guardian is a qilin and my family name are made of heaven and earth. Where can there be conflicts? I am the decision, and there is no need to make a fortune!"

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Xu Xianggong is an interesting person!"

Hearing this, Xu Deshan knew that Qin Zhao was forgiven for dragging on this marriage.

In fact, Qin Zhao was a little worried about Xu Deshan's marriage.

Qin Zhao is such a smart person, of course, knows that Xu Deshan's so-called Xu Ming was too young, which was an excuse. There is no doubt that Qin Zhao had just taken office as a defensive officer at that time, but offended Ding Kuichu, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. What Xu Deshan is really worried about is that Qin Zhao is unstable in the officialdom, and is afraid that Qin Zhao will fly high and fall high, and will be harmed by a traitor in one day.

But now it’s different. After the victory of Huguang, Qin Zhao’s military general was tested by the war.

That's why Qin Zhao asked his subordinates to wear steel armor to meet Xu Deshan, and wanted to show the slick scholar his strength and let him understand the strength that Qin Zhao really relies on in this sinister officialdom.

Qin Zhao's soldiers are good at fighting!

In this chaotic period of the Southern Ming Dynasty, this is the greatest strength. Now Qin Zhao has soldiers and people are not guilty of any official size.

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Since Mr. Xu doesn't need to divine money when making the decision, then I can finish the recruitment!"

The so-called complete engagement means formal engagement, which is equivalent to engagement in later generations.

Enrollment is also called recruitment. When the enrollment is completed, the man will send a betrothal gift and gift letter to the woman and get engaged, so it is also called a big recruitment!

Xu Deshan bowed to Qin Zhao and said, "I would like to ask the Qin Shou to sit in my lobby and discuss the gift of the final offer."

Qin Zhao smiled and waved his hand, then walked towards the Xu family's lobby.
Chapter completed!
