Chapter 10 Make friends with the county magistrate and buy my concubine Xian'e! (Please collect, recommend, monthly pass, everything!)
The house behind the county government office.
Although the county town is very dilapidated and there are many gaps in the city walls, it is full of pavilions and pavilions, with exotic flowers and plants everywhere, fragrant breezes, and the faint sound of silk and bamboo in the distance, and women singing a cappella.
When Qin Tian walked out from behind the flower tree, he saw a group of people wearing gold, silver and silk.
When these people saw him, they all cast surprised glances.
The gentleman of the Qin family is worthy of the name of banished immortal!
Qingyang County Magistrate Zhou Liang was even more brilliant.
Well, he doesn't like men, mainly because he has other ideas.
He has a niece who is also an immortal cultivator. She is a disciple of the Xuanying Tianzong of Huai'an Mansion. She has been practicing for seven years and is practicing at the eighth level...
If you want to break through in Qi training and successfully build a foundation with this kind of qualifications and cultivation, I'm afraid it will take twenty years!
So, it is better to go down the mountain early, get married and have children, and enjoy the rest of your life...
In the past, he couldn't find the right candidate.
Now that he saw Qin Tian, his thoughts suddenly came to life.
Qin Tian is also a cultivator of immortality, and he has good looks. I guess his niece who has high eyesight will not refuse!
But now we have business to discuss.
Magistrate Zhou waved to Qin Tian to sit next to him, and then began to ask the master to recite the taxes to be levied by the court this year.
Not much actually.
After all, this is a world for cultivating immortals, and ordinary money and food are of little use to cultivators. The officials, nobles, and royal family of the Zhou Dynasty are basically all monks who care about spiritual stones, mines, and treasures of heaven, materials, and earth.
Therefore, the taxes collected are mainly used for secular military and government expenditures!
But in the world of cultivating immortals, great power comes together.
The usefulness of the army is actually very small.
A Foundation Establishment monk has the ability to fly with a sword and crack monuments and rocks with his bare hands. In one day and night, he can kill tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers!
Because of this, Qingyang County, with a population of one million, only has more than 700 garrison troops and 100 police officers to maintain daily order.
However, although the taxes collected by the imperial court are small, should the powerful gentry still cry about poverty...
Qin Tian followed his father's professor and after some bargaining with the county magistrate, he successfully obtained a 50% discount...
After all, ‘Qi training is powerful’…
But those squires don't have such a big face.
They only got a 30% discount at most.
But that's enough.
In fact, it was the same in previous years. Everything was just a formality, giving each other face, everyone was in peace and shared peace.
County Magistrate Zhou listened to the accounts compiled by the master, and a satisfied smile slowly appeared on his lips.
His work this year is accomplished.
The owner is happy.
The guests are naturally happy too.
As a result, the banquet was filled with people drinking wine, singing and dancing, and the world was peaceful and prosperous. No one remembered that the immortal cultivators broke down the dam, causing the displacement of tens of thousands of people...
Qin Tian suppressed the contempt in his heart and turned his grief and anger into appetite.
At this time, a man in his thirties who looked like a scribe came over in a hurry. He glanced at Qin Tian, was slightly stunned, and then whispered in Magistrate Zhou's ear.
Immortal cultivators have sharp ears and eyes. Although the scribe and Magistrate Zhou tried their best to lower their voices, Qin Tian still heard every word of their conversation.
The scribe's report is actually simple.
He just told the story of Qin Tian buying Wang Tiezhu's family at the gate of the city and recruiting a large number of refugees to serve as tenant farmers.
After hearing this, County Magistrate Zhou didn't take this matter to heart.
In the world of cultivating immortals, the power of mortals is as small as ants, and matters such as annexing land and gathering refugees are completely unworthy of mention.
Moreover, County Magistrate Zhou also heard about Qin Tian's behavior during this period.
Within one year, four concubines...
Therefore, it is understandable for Qin Tian to gather some refugees for his own use, and it can also be regarded as reducing his burden as the Qingyang County Magistrate!
No fault but reward!
So Magistrate Zhou turned to look at Qin Tian: "My good nephew has returned to his hometown after completing his studies. I wonder what his plans will be in the future?" "Lie down."
Qin Tian's face was filled with a salty smile: "Buy more farmland, have more concubines, and have more children..."
Magistrate Zhou was confused.
The squires around him had the same expression.
But when they thought about it carefully, they seemed to be lying down just like Qin Tian said...
A lovely wife, a beautiful concubine, a horde of descendants, well-dressed and well-fed, and surrounded by people.
There seems to be nothing wrong with this kind of life!
"As expected of an immortal family, they are more enlightened than ordinary people like us..."
"Such subtle remarks should come to light!"
During the banquet, the banquet once again became mingled and lively.
County Magistrate Zhou responded with a few glasses of wine, then stared at Qin Tian next to him, and got straight to the point: "My dear nephew, I have a niece who is also a cultivator of immortality. Now she is practicing in Xuanying Tianzong, and her cultivation has broken through to the eighth level of Qi training. , I wonder if I can be my nephew’s concubine?”
Qin Tian was silent.
Concubine is a modest title.
What County Magistrate Zhou meant was that he wanted to marry the other party’s niece!
This is good.
But he was somewhat reluctant.
After all, he is a systematic man!
How can a woman who is only at the eighth level of Qi training be worthy of being his legal wife?
Besides, he has Bai Yueguang in his heart.
That is a figure standing at the top, with swaying clothes, and outlines the beautiful back of an infinite woman...
Therefore, he smiled and shook his head: "Thank you uncle for your kindness. My nephew wants to play for a few more years. I really don't want to get married and start a business so soon... Unless your niece is willing to be my concubine..."
Magistrate Zhou was furious.
After all, Zhou Meiniang is his niece and a lady, and she is also an immortal cultivator. How can she be a concubine?
He snorted and said nothing.
But next to Magistrate Zhou, the middle-aged man dressed as a master said tentatively: "There is a saying among the people that it is better to be a hero's concubine than a mediocre wife..."
"I see that the young master looks like a dragon and a phoenix. Under the sun, if Miss Seventeen becomes the young master's concubine, it will not be considered a disgrace to herself..."
"I just wonder how much money the young master is willing to pay for a concubine?"
…
Magistrate Zhou was stunned.
The master is also a member of the Zhou family, and his status in the family is higher than him. If the master had not been mediocre in qualifications and had failed in studying, cultivating immortality, or practicing martial arts, otherwise he would not have come to be an assistant to him...
In Master's view, everything in the world lies in exchange.
Although Magistrate Zhou's niece has spiritual roots and is a cultivator, her qualifications are too poor and she has no chance of becoming an immortal in this life. Therefore, it is normal for her to be used by the family in exchange for resources.
Qin Tian was silent for a moment, and then said tentatively: "Ten low-grade spiritual stones?"
Master shook his head.
"thirty?"
"Fifty at most, otherwise forget it!"
Qin Tian's face was full of determination.
When he was an outer disciple of Qingyun Sect, he was only allocated ten pieces of low-grade spiritual stones as training resources every year.
You know, Qingyun Sect dominates the entire Leizhou!
Xuanying Tianzong?
Never heard of it!
For an ordinary sect like this, the number of spiritual stones that can be distributed to disciples in the Qi refining stage every year is only three or five at best...
Fifty spiritual stones are actually a lot of money to buy a concubine!
But the master doesn’t think so.
He stretched out his hand and made a gesture: "Sixty-six pieces of low-grade spiritual stones! If the young master agrees, I can make the decision. The Qianli Mang Mountain in the north of Shiqiao Village, together with the tens of thousands of hectares of land under the mountain, will be given to the young master as a dowry!"
