Her Majesty’s eyes almost bulged out, and she almost couldn’t hold back her screams!
"Each warehouse stores 20,000 dan of grain! How could there be so much land in Yuanjiang County!"
Sixty kilograms per stone, and each warehouse stores 1.2 million kilograms of grain. Even if the entire Yuanjiang County is expanded, how big will it be? And where did Zhao Kang get so much grain!
Zhao Kang said with some embarrassment: "Yuanjiang County didn't pay taxes a few years ago. It was relatively wealthy at that time. One-fifth of the annual income was used to collect grain. A lot of grain was imported from Qingzhou and Jiangzhou.
Bought somewhere else.”
I had no choice but to be frightened of hunger. During that time, Zhao Kang was called a food-buying maniac by Zhang Long and others.
"The granary was built on several pieces of land purchased by us in Yuanjiang County and surrounding counties."
Zhao Kang was a little embarrassed when he said this, because the human resources in Yuanjiang County were really tight.
So for a while, he and Gao Quan tried every means to trick people from surrounding counties into coming to Yuanjiang County to work.
After those people came to Yuanjiang County, they never left, leaving a lot of uninhabited land vacant in the county seat.
At this time, Gao Quan came to the door with money and bought the land at a low price.
At the beginning, Yuanjiang County could only accommodate a few thousand people. By deceiving people and then buying land, it expanded step by step. Now it is enough to accommodate 100,000 people, and this business is still going on.
Even Zhao Kang himself was shocked when he heard Zhang Long report the amount of grain stored in the granary a few days ago.
Eighteen warehouses total tens of millions of kilograms of grain, which is enough to help Jiangzhou victims tide over the difficulties.
Xiao Linglong was dumbfounded and murmured: "So you are the one who has the most food in the Qian Kingdom."
The total grain warehouses of government offices across the country are probably about the same as the grain storage in Yuanjiang County, Zhaokang.
The Ministry of Household Affairs must know that before they go crazy, how much of a fucking tax is this!
"Hey, isn't mine your Majesty's?"
Seeing that Xiao Linglong was not bothered about her failure to pay taxes, Zhao Kang boldly sat down next to Her Majesty the Empress.
She reached into her sleeve and dug out a thick stack of banknotes. Her Majesty's eyes widened just by looking at it.
How much money does this cost!
Zhao Kang handed it over: "Nuo, these are all my family assets."
Even though it was Her Majesty the Empress, a little greed flashed in her eyes, and she pretended to be puzzled: "What are you doing for me?"
Zhao Kang came closer and whispered: "My wife is in charge of all the men's money in my hometown."
The roots of Her Majesty’s ears instantly turned red, and they were so beautiful with their crystal clear and tender ears.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Xiao Linglong said angrily.
Zhao Kang said deliberately: "Then I will put it away, Your Majesty."
The next moment, almost like grabbing, Xiao Linglong grabbed a large handful of banknotes in her hand and started counting them like a money addict with a smile on her face.
Looking at the cute appearance, Zhao Kang smiled knowingly and moved his butt again: "No need to count, the total is 6.8 million taels."
"Disappointing!" Xiao Linglong snorted, but her heart was filled with joy.
This bastard didn't expect to make so much money over the years. These banknotes alone are worth the tax revenue of Qianguo for two or three years.
With this money and Zhao Kang's grain, the disaster in Jiangzhou was finally solved.
Seeing Her Majesty the Empress's relaxed brows and the joy that came from her heart, Zhao Kang smiled unconsciously.
Is there anything more worthy of happiness than the happiness of the person you like?
There should be no more.
After returning to the imperial capital and rushing back and forth, all the civil and military officials were a little tired, so Xiao Linglong did not hold a court meeting.
After giving everyone a day off, Zhao Kang returned to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion first.
During the time he left the imperial capital, Qin Yufeng was handling the moving matters like a hostess.
When I heard that Zhao Kang was back, he immediately came with a group of people to greet him.
"How's it going? Are you satisfied?"
Qin Yufeng looked at Zhao Kang expectantly.
"Isn't this too much?"
Zhao Kang couldn't help but smile bitterly, looking at the crowd of servants kneeling in front of him, probably no less than fifty.
He was really uncomfortable with it.
Qin Yufeng smiled and said: "This Imperial Master's Office is so big, people have to be arranged in every place."
As she spoke, the woman stood up on her tiptoes and whispered: "I bought them all from Yachang. There will be no spies from Prince Ning."
"You are thoughtful, but if he is serious about this kind of thing, it is not something you can see through. It's okay."
Zhao Kang nodded, held the waist tightly and walked into the main hall of the Imperial Prefecture.
Falling in Zhao Kang's arms, with her head gently pressed against Zhao Kang's chest, Qin Yufeng asked with concern: "How was the result of returning to Yuanjiang County this time?"
"The harvest is not small, and there is also good news."
Zhao Kang talked about his appointment as a marquis, and Qin Yufeng was extremely surprised: "Being a marquis! It can be hereditary and replaceable! It will never happen again in this dynasty!"
"Indeed, so maybe I will become the target of public criticism. It is estimated that the imperial edict will be issued soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, a servant ran out of the gate: "Master Imperial Master, the imperial edict has arrived!"
"You really get whatever you say!"
The chief eunuch took the imperial edict and led a group of people into the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. As soon as Zhao Kang was about to go out to greet him, the chief eunuch said quickly: "The Imperial Preceptor does not need to be polite."
"Excuse me, sir."
Zhao Kang smiled and said, Qin Yufeng and other servants knelt down to greet the imperial edict, but Zhao Kang did not. He did not need to salute even when he met Her Majesty the Empress.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: He specially conferred the title of Marquis of Anguo to Zhao Kang, who will be hereditary for future generations..."
"Zhao Kang accepts the order."
The chief eunuch handed the imperial edict to Zhao Kang: "Congratulations to the Master of the State. Oh no, maybe it would be better to call him Lord Hou."
"My father-in-law is joking. This trip has troubled my father-in-law. Don't refuse the tea money."
Zhao Kang handed over a banknote. The chief eunuch didn't want to accept it, but he couldn't resist Zhao Kang.
It was an emotion in my heart.
Look! Who can think highly of our family when we usually proclaim imperial edicts to those bastards?
Master Renguo has such a powerful position and still gives us our hard-earned money. There really is a gap between people!
"I'm afraid the Imperial Master will be very busy later, so we won't disturb you." The chief eunuch said very wisely.
The moment this imperial edict left the palace, the imperial list had already been posted, and it was estimated that it had already caused a storm in the city.
After all, being granted the title of Marquis is not a small matter.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Kang saw off the eunuch manager, there was a group of people carrying a big box in the distance.
As he walked, he said: "Congratulations to the Imperial Preceptor, congratulations to the Imperial Preceptor..."
Zhao Kang raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "Close the door!"
Qin Yufeng was stunned for a moment and then said quickly: "Close the door!"
Only then did the servants react and quickly close the door. Zhao Kang said casually: "Send someone to guard the door. If anyone comes, they will say that our master will not see guests today, and no one will see them."
After saying that, Zhao Kang hugged Qin Yufeng and returned to the house.
The man carrying a box of gifts had just arrived at the door when he saw the door of the Imperial Master's Mansion slamming shut, and he was immediately dumbfounded.
