"How dare the officials have such thoughts? This is a deserted land that has been abandoned since the turmoil in Fujian. Recently, the Fujian Provincial Department of the State Council has counted it. Please check it out."

The fish scale book is Zhang Chen’s trump card for buying life, and he is unwilling to hand it over unless he has to.

After all, land is a hard currency inherited by ancient families. How many people work hard all their lives just to buy land and then pass on poetry and books to the family.

Although the rebellion in Fujian has not ended yet, in the eyes of most officials, the imperial court sent an imperial envoy to wipe out the traitors and was late, so it began to share the fruits of "victory" in advance.

Officials were killed in Jianning Prefecture, Tingzhou Prefecture, Yanping Prefecture, Quanzhou Prefecture and other places captured by the bandit army. Nine out of ten powerful people were empty, and the vacant land left was as high as tens of thousands of hectares. It was converted into a unit in later generations to hundreds of millions of acres.

Such a huge amount of "wealth" from heaven is naturally impossible to imitate Deng Maoqi's approach to ditching it to Mud Legs. Instead, the officials of the entire Fujian Third Division were divided up on the fish scale book archive according to their grade level.

As the head of a province, Zhang Chen got the biggest share of the pie, with a total of 20,000 mu of good land. You should know that during the orthodox dynasty, the vassal kings took office as a vassal state, and the princely level was granted only a thousand hectares and a million mu of land. From this point, we can see how amazing the profits were to make money from the national crisis.

In name, the land is divided, but it must be a life-saving flower, otherwise it will be a wedding dress for others. The rare treasures cannot impress Xi Ning, and Zhang Chen does not believe that the 20,000 acres of fertile land cannot be taken down by the other party.

According to the news about Xining that Zhang Chen recently found, it was outrageous that this person was extremely greedy. He worked as a garrison eunuch in Liaodong, and even the inheritance of his late former military eunuch Wang Yan was not spared.

There is also rumors that he returned to the capital to purchase industries and had a land dispute with British Duke Zhang Fu, and he refused to give in at all. If Xining had not suddenly received the order to leave Fujian, the two sides might have fought long ago, which shows how rampant he was.

However, these things are great news for Zhang Chen. He is not afraid of Xi Ning being arrogant and greedy, but is afraid of the other party being timid and afraid of things and not taking his own "money to buy life"!

A land without a border?

Hearing this noun, Xi Ning immediately understood the meaning behind it, pretended to take the fish scale book casually, wanting to see how many so-called "borderless land" there is.

When he opened it, even though he was mentally prepared, Xi Ning was not a local bun that had never seen the world, but was still shocked by the numbers on it.

Seeing the change of expression on Xining's face, Zhang Chen, who had been anxious for a while, finally had an undetectable smile on the corner of his mouth.

He quickly hit the railway while it was hot: "Old-in-law Xi, after consultation by his colleagues in the governor's office, he was given 20,000 acres of good land to his subordinates."

"But the Xiaguan is deeply ashamed of the turmoil in Fujian. He knows that he will not receive any rewards without any merit. He is willing to devote these 20,000 acres of fertile land to the Xi, who is trying to turn the tide. I hope he will not refuse!"

Zhang Chen said this with great righteousness. He believed that his money for life was sincere enough, and Xining would definitely not refuse.

But the next scene penetrated Zhang Chen's imagination. Xi Ning closed the fish scale book and looked at him and said, "The situation in Fuzhou is so decayed. Apart from Zhang Fantai, are other officials not responsible?"

"I don't know how they can feel at ease and accept this unsuccessful reward!"

Only a child can do multiple-choice questions, but as an adult, I, of course, want them all!

I have traveled thousands of miles to Fujian to support the country. Why can officials from the Three Departments of Fujian get a share of the pie? Are you worthy of it?

The land of the great and old man, Xining, dared to invade the land of the British Duke, but Zhang Chen actually naively thought that he could easily bribe the other party by taking out one of his own. That can only be said that he was wrong.

Not to mention the British Duke Zhang Fu, you should know that Xining was in the end, even the Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen fell into his hands, and was a peerless "insider". Who could be better than the emperor?

"Xi...Xi Daughter, this..."

When Zhang Chen realized what Xi Ning meant, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak. If the other party's appetite was so big that he could swallow tens of thousands of acres of fields in Fujian, he would not have to wait for the emperor's punishment. His colleagues from the Three Departments of Fujian alone would have to kill himself!

The cake that everyone shared was originally handled by Zhang Chensao and made Xining monopolize it. Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, let alone being a person who is in a position to be guilty.

Officials from the Third Department of Fujian may not dare to treat Xining, but they will definitely dare to take revenge on themselves.

"No need to say more, our family will keep this fish scale book for the time being."

Xining didn't care about Zhang Chen's feelings at all. After receiving the fish scale book, she turned around and left, showing the domineering eunuchs of the powerful eunuch to the fullest.

This also taught Zhang Chen a good lesson. It would never work to deal with eunuchs by using the trick of dealing with civil servants. Even if he is as knowledgeable as Wang Zhen, he often does some inexplicable mastery incidents and does not consider weighing the pros and cons at all.

If you feel good, that's really good!

"happiness……"

Looking at the back of Xining leaving, Zhang Chen stretched out his hand like a drowning person, and his words were blocked in his throat and could not speak, and finally collapsed to the ground.

After returning from the luxurious private house to the Fuzhou government office, almost as soon as Xining stepped in, Shen Yichen followed him in, and the two met directly in the hall of the front yamen.

Looking at Shen Yichen, who was full of vicissitudes of life, Xi Ning did not face the tyranny of the Fuzhou Provincial Administration officials.

This is not to say how much he guessed that the background of the honor and relatives behind Shen Yichen was more of the other party's performance during this period, which really made Xi Ning have to avoid three points.

After all, it has never been seen since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. It seems that the civil servants who are ruthless in the military officials, even themselves are beyond their reach. How could such a tough guy not pay attention to it?

"Why didn't Admiral Shen send someone to inform you early when he returns to Fuzhou? Our family can hold a banquet to welcome you."

Before Shen Yichen could speak, Xi Ning took the initiative to greet him, even speaking quite politely.

In addition to the several big figures who could count with one hand in the capital, Shen Yichen was the first young official to afford the hospitality of Xining, and he was worthy of face.

"The official has met Eunuch Xi, and I have never had time to inform you of the matter. I hope I will forgive you."

No matter whether Xi Ningke is polite or not, Shen Yichen always faces him with great etiquette and will not be negligent at all.

"Why is Admiral Shen so anxious? Could it be that there has been a change in the recruitment of Quanzhou Prefecture?"

When Xi Ning thought of this possibility, his expression became solemn. Shen Yichen recruited all the three guards of Fuzhou. If the entire army was wiped out, there would be no troops to defend in the entire Fuzhou Prefecture and even in Fujian.

I'm afraid I have to pack my luggage and prepare to run away overnight!

"Eunuch Xi is lenient, Quanzhou Prefecture's recruitment is progressing smoothly, and the officials have reached a preliminary agreement with the rebels."
Chapter completed!
