Becoming a God from a Water Monkey

Chapter 817 Xihe Mansion

"The court appointed Bai Yuan as the General of Zhenhuai Army. In order to contact Bai Yuan, the court asked the elder to concurrently serve as the Commandant of the Zhenhuai Army..." Long Eying stroked Liang Qu's cheek, puzzled. "So, the elder made himself his own subordinate? He is his own superior?"

"Yes! Your man is awesome!"

Liang Qu was proud.

Marquis Changyuan only gave legal principles, no benefits, and no salary.

The General Zhenhuai was an official of the second rank and was given the treatment of the first rank, with an annual salary of 36,850 taels. Even with the treatment of the first rank, a number of more than 30,000 was definitely a lot; the main function of the Zhenhuai Sili was to be a liaison and he also held the position concurrently, so his annual salary was relatively low, at 825 taels.

Including one's own titles, honors, and official positions.

One person eats five salaries!

The annual salary alone is more than 60,000!

The household expenses are not small, but the profits from the current rice frog and rice leech medicinal fields are enough to cover them. In other words, the 60,000 salary is all "net profit" that can be saved!
"Well, that's impressive." Long Eying smiled and asked, "What about the future? Will it still be like this after the dragon incident?"

"There's nothing I can do. For some things, if you think about them more, you can find a solution to both problems. But for some things, no matter how hard you think, there is no solution." Liang Qu sighed as he gazed up at the sky. The moon on a Binghuo day was so bright that the ground looked like mercury.

"If you want to seek legal justice, then you should ask for canonization. And as you said, if the time comes, it will probably be fine if you confess. Let's use time to buy opportunities. Besides, it's not like you're just taking benefits without doing anything. The more you work, the more you get. I'll do two jobs and not be paid for nothing. Give me the imperial decree first and then get married. Your Majesty is very open-minded."

"Thank you for your hard work, General."

"Hey, it's not hard, it's not hard."

Long Eying touched her head and said, "I heard from the Third Prince that the elders had talked to Frog about surrounding the swamp from the shore and using more land forces to deal with underwater forces. I think the elders are really doing it."

Liang Qu was stunned.

Think about it carefully.

Don't mention it.

Really.

"We should have asked Mr. Frog for two more precious fish."

"Haha." Long Eying laughed. "The precious fish of the frog elder is not about to be dispersed. Apart from the frog king, the elder has taken the most, right?"

"It looks good." Liang Qu did not answer. He leaned on his knees and reached out to pinch Long Eying's pale pink cheeks, rubbing them gently. It was like a piece of soft and warm white jade. "Smile more often."

Long Eying stroked the back of Liang Qu's hand.

In the more than thirty years since I was old enough to understand, the foggy future of the Dragon Clan has always weighed heavily on my mind. It's not that there were no happy times, but they were far less than the three years I spent with Liang Qu.

"it is good!"

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

"Here he comes!" Liang Qu turned over and sat up. "It should be the envoy who came back and gave me the address for our next meeting."

as predicted.

The envoy who had returned from announcing the decree to the white ape stood outside the door.

After some pleasantries, they agreed to host a banquet for the delegation tomorrow.

The gates of Liangquguan were closed.

"Is there a banquet tomorrow?"

"Uncle?" Liang Qu was surprised. "When did you come back?"

"I will come back when you see me." Su Guishan was exhausted, with a few strands of silver hair scattered outside his bun. He touched his belly with his hand, "Since you said we would have a banquet, is there anything to eat at home?"

"Aunt Zhang has gone home. I'll call Long Yao and Long Li to go to the kitchen and cook a few pounds of noodles."

"That's fine. Fry two more eggs, add chopped green onions, and make sure you add sesame oil."

"I can't eat less." Liang Qu asked Long Eying to give instructions, and he took a small pot and a small stool to sit in front of him to boil water and make tea. "Uncle, what have you been doing these days? Wei Tiling and Xu Tiling are nowhere to be seen. What are you busy with?"

"You are not ashamed to ask. Going to the imperial capital to get the elixir is just the right opportunity for you to escape." Su Guishan drank a cup of tea in two gulps. "Two masters of the Ghost Mother Cult went to Xihe Prefecture and sacrificed blood in several towns and robbed a group of sea merchants."

Liang Qu was shocked and almost suspected that he had heard it wrongly.

The Ghost Mother Cult is performing another blood sacrifice! ?

I've been away for two months and Jianghuai has caused such a big incident?
Xihe Prefecture.

We have to go northwest from Pingyang to get close to the northern part of the Jianghuai Lake, half across the Jianghuai Lake!
"Has the person been caught?"

Su Guishan shook his head: "We didn't catch any big fish, but only two great martial artists and a bunch of small fish and shrimp. Fortunately, Wei Lin fought with one of the masters and seriously injured him, and snatched most of the Taizhu Pills. We didn't let the other party succeed in his goal. We searched for several more days afterwards, and now it has come to a temporary end."

Liang Qu's mind calmed down.

Another blood sacrifice.

Which Grandmaster is to be resurrected?

"Is the robbery of sea merchants a deliberate plot or something else?"

"I guess it's a bit of both. I just happened to run into it, so I won't rush to grab it."

"What's the situation in the mansion?"

"It's not serious. Xihe Prefecture had noticed some clues long ago and asked us for help in advance. Only two or three counties were affected. The situation was not as serious as that in Pingyang Prefecture. The Ghost Mother Cult was about to burst the dam, but Xu Yuelong sent people to guard it first."

"Where are the merchants?" "There are some injuries, a few casualties, I may need you to negotiate with them."

Liang Qu had no objection.

"What do I do now?"

"Now……"

"Grandpa, the noodles are here!" Long Yao came over with a lacquer tray and served out the fine noodles.

Su Guishan picked up the noodles with scallions with his chopsticks and said, "The noodles are too soft. Cook them harder. They are like silver noodles. Just roll them in a sieve and you can scoop them out."

"okay!"

Su Guishan ate noodles in big mouthfuls and spoke vaguely.

"You can't catch up with Xihe Prefecture. You don't need to go now. However, Pingyang Prefecture will buy food and medicine in the next two days. You can go there and escort the ship."

A few days of effort.

in time.

"Row."

Woo~
The copper kettle whistled and belched smoke, and the full moon in the sky was hazy.

Liang Qu picked up the kettle and brewed a cup of tea. In a blink of an eye, he saw Su Guishan eating noodles with one hand and writing and drawing with a charcoal pencil in the other hand. He was very busy.

"My uncle wrote..."

"Boy, are there any suitable candidates in Haishang and Jiangchuan County?"

"Candidates? For what?"

"Assign an official position." Su Guishan finished a bowl of noodles with soup and wiped his mouth. "Sea merchants are stationed here, and Jiangchuan County is building a big theater. Now they are short of staff and supervisors. Many positions are vacant."

Liang Qu wondered: "Shouldn't the Pingyang prefect be responsible for this?"

"Who do you think is in front of you?"

"Uncle?" Liang Qu was shocked. "The governor..."

Su Guishan pointed to himself: "The Governor of Shuihe is also the Prefect of Pingyang."

Good guy.

After going around in circles, I’m back again!

Su Guishan was originally the prefect of Huaiyin Prefecture. Later, when Huaiyin was renamed Pingyang, he was promoted to the governor of Shuihe. Unexpectedly, he is in this position again now.

"Li Shoufu." Liang Qu thought for a moment.

"Chief clerk?" Su Guishan remembered a name and wrote it down. "Let him go to collect food and grass tomorrow and see what he is capable of."

"Is there anyone else?"

"Quan Guangqin, Quan Yuxuan." Liang Qu was also impressed by these two mermaids who were the first to surrender.

"Serman?"

"Correct."

"Two more."

He reported several names one after another.

"How does it all have anything to do with you?"

Liang Qu was speechless.

This question is so new that I don’t know how to respond.

It doesn't matter, he's not familiar with it.
