After having a solid meal with his family, Liu Luqi was very satisfied. He didn't care what he ate. Even such a scary food as "snake-bitten chicken" was delicious to him.

Because his parents' misunderstandings about him have been eliminated, and they know that he did not sell his body for the sake of glory and wealth, and that he has been secretly taking care of his family even though he has been living hard these years, his parents and brothers feel very guilty for him.

And he was also moved because his parents insisted on staying in Kyoto for so many years in order to find his whereabouts.

Liu Luqi, whose heart was filled with hope for life again, now had a smile on his face, making his appearance with red lips and white teeth no longer feminine, but sunny and handsome.

He was already thirty years old, but he was still so good-looking. Chu Yuan wanted to disfigure him.

Look, this guy happens to be standing next to Gan Lai. Gan Lai's big gray-blue eyes are staring at his smile without blinking. No matter how you look at it, they are a "loving" couple.

"Get down to business!" Chu Yuan pointed at the box angrily: "What's the password?"

Chu Yuan was a slow learner, and he said the word "password" very smoothly.

Although he didn't know what the "password" meant, he could tell from Chu Yuan's actions that he was asked to open the box. Liu Luqi started directly, turning three times and two times, and Xiaobao heard a subtle "click" sound.

"Okay, now you can insert the key." Liu Luqi said: "There is no order. You can insert the key first and then turn the wheel."

Xiaobao took the key and was not in a hurry to open the box. He asked: "Your password... what is the sequence?"

I really can’t understand, there are eight weird combinations of the word “big”, who can guess it!

"These are the eight movements I did on the boom when I was performing as a performer." Liu Luqi explained: "What is engraved on it is a little person, that is me."

Liu Luqi pointed to a symbol that looked like a downward arrow and said, "This is a cross. You need to put your hands together. There should actually be a hanging rope wrapped around your hands."

Chu Yuan looked at the symbol and imagined doing a cross. His legs were not straight, but almost shaped like arrows, and he felt pain in his hamstrings.

It really has nothing to do with the "Spartan Book of Heaven", Xiaobao thought.

The box was opened, and there was a stack of banknotes inside. This was nothing in everyone's imagination, but the amount was actually 70,000 taels!

You must know that Liu Luqi, Ni He, and Wu Jichang had to divide their money almost twice every year. That is to say, before Wu Jichang died, there were 70,000 taels that had not been divided up.

So how much will it cost in this year and a half?

"I still have more than 20,000 taels in hand," Liu Luqi said: "The income of the 'live twisters' here has never been as good as that of the 'dead twisters'. They have about 50,000 to 60,000 taels every year.

Don’t worry, I will clean Ni He’s territory, get the money back, and hand it over together with what I have in my hand;

I have nothing to do with Wu Shirong, I guess he doesn’t have money, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to come to us alone.”

Bai Jiaxing sighed: "No wonder the emperor likes to confiscate homes. Look, even beggars can steal 150,000 to 60,000 taels of money!"

In addition to the banknotes, there was also a stack of house deeds and land deeds to farms and shops in other states.

At the bottom of the box, there are a few envelopes.

"What are these?" Xiaobao asked, holding an envelope.

"These are some local minor officials who came under the sect of King Liang. Because their official positions were low, King Liang didn't think much of them, but he also accepted their filial piety, including those land deeds and house deeds;

But before they had time to use them, something happened to the King of Liang. When Wu Jichang searched the members of the King of Liang, he deliberately concealed these and did not report them. However, he could not take them out by himself. Ni He and I stole them together.

Although these officials took refuge with King Liang, they did nothing in fact. After King Liang was captured, they did not dare to expose anything. In addition, Wu Jichang deliberately concealed it, so they were still in office;

We plan to use these letters as blackmail to seek their asylum if anything goes wrong in Kyoto."

Liu Luqi did not hide anything and told the truth.

These people have thought very carefully and have found a way out.

These officials are all local magistrates of some small counties, and their official positions are not big, but they are all local magistrates where King Liang once visited.

Xiaobao looked at these envelopes and felt that the emperor had been on the throne for eleven years. These officials may not be able to take up their original positions now, but with these clues, they might be put to use in the future.

What is directly useful right now are these farms and shops, which are all money! You have to find a way to manage them all by your own people.

"I'll give you two three days to seize the 'poor family business' in your hands, and then formulate the business rules for me to see." Xiaobao ordered, mainly to Liu Luqi, who had to help Qiao Wanqi secure his position as a "dead twister"

"The position of the Great Elder.

Three days is not much, but it is not much. The changes that occurred today will bring turmoil to the "poor family business" to some extent. They need to be suppressed as quickly as possible, otherwise things will change easily if it is too late.

After sending away Liu Luqi and Qiao Wanqi, Baijiaxing brought in brothers Zhao Rui, Zhao Qi and Si'er.

"I will assign them to you, and they will take care of the Qiongjiaxing and Sanshun Escorts." Bai Jiaxing said: "They know how to control the situation and not let Qiongjiaxing and Sanshun Escorts interact with Chu."

The family relationship has been exposed, I will also tell Liu Luqi and the others about this."

"Don't you take care of it yourself?" Xiaobao asked.

In Xiaobao's heart, Baijiaxing is the most appropriate place, and having him under his care can make people feel at ease.

"No, they are enough. When your affairs are over, your sister-in-law and I will go back to Yibin Mansion. Your mother needs people," Bai Jiaxing said.

In Baijiaxing's heart, the most important thing is Chu Qing.

There were no old people around Chu Qing anymore. She gave both Chu Yuan and Gan Lai to Xiaobao, leaving only Zhuo Yao.

In Baijiaxing's view, Zhuo Yao was a soldier and could obey orders but was not proactive enough in other matters.

"Thank you." Xiaobao said sincerely.

Xiaobao also felt that his mother made him uneasy. With hundreds of families flourishing, his mother could relax a lot.

This idea is absolutely correct.

Chu Qing is missing Baijiaxing and his wife, especially Zheng Xiaorou.

She just took on the position of "wailang, a member of the cotton department", why did Mao and other prefects and magistrates come to harass her?

If the harassment is not enough, they also send their wives to visit, for fear that the harassment will not be strong enough?

The reason for the harassment was that they wanted to grow cotton and asked Chu Qing to choose a place.

In fact, the issue of cotton field location has not been a problem for a long time. A picture book has been made and distributed to farmers in various places. You can plant it if you like.

Therefore, their real purpose is not to select a location, but to get clear consent and to ask the "Si Mian Yuan Wai Lang" to choose the address where they need it.

In this way, cotton can be classified as non-wasteland areas and controlled by them. Moreover, the purchase price of cotton is higher than that of food, and it is not included in the food tax, which is conducive to their local income generation.

If the cotton harvest is not good, it is Chu Qing's responsibility, because it was the "Cotton Officer Wai Lang" who approved it.
