Becoming a God from a Water Monkey

Chapter 828 There is an assassin

The river breeze is strong, blowing away the dry heat of the dog days.

With a shout, the crowd parted and made way.

A handsome young man, with his clothes fluttering, rode a red horse and arrived at the pier.

Simply greet the villagers.

Liang Qu looked out at the large ships on the river.

"Li Zhubu, are all the supplies ready? We must set off before 3 p.m. today. Don't delay."

Li Shoufu fought off his sleepiness.

"Don't worry, sir. The governor has asked for a penny less, and there is still a 20% surplus!"

"Isn't it a loss?"

"Absolutely no loss!"

"here you go!"

Liang Qu praised.

Although he didn't know what means Li Shoufu used, as long as the price was not at a loss and the amount was reached and there was surplus, it would be a good thing. If Li Shoufu really did a poor job, he would also lose face as the person who recommended him.

"All that has been accomplished is due to the glory of Lord Liang. Your Excellency's tiger hunting is a great auspicious sign. Pingyang Prefecture and its attached counties have been exempted from taxes for several years, and every household is prosperous."

"Yes, thanks to Uncle Liang! Everyone's life is better now!" Zhang Wenbao was the first to shout, attracting responses from the surrounding villagers.

"That's right. Two taxes a year. If you don't pay in time for three years, I don't know how to pay the summer tax this year."

"Save for three years and you won't have any disasters. Save for ten years and you won't have to worry about taxes!"

Liang Qu laughed and scolded: "Zhang Wenbao, why are you from Xiangyi County joining in the fun? Fuguo County's tax exemption has nothing to do with you."

Zhang Wenbao scratched his head and laughed without saying anything.

Suddenly someone interrupted.

"Of course it doesn't matter. Only when everyone has money in their pockets can they do business!"

Zhang Wenbao responded immediately: "Exactly, absolutely!"

Liang Qu had sharp eyes, and when he saw the person who was shouting, he laughed, "Why, Master Xue is here to join in the fun too?"

Xue Chengquan said with a serious face: "We are both victims of the Ghost Mother Cult's stubborn disease. How can Pingyang Prefecture sit idly by and watch Xihe Prefecture in trouble? In addition to selling grain at a fair price, I just sent the steward to deliver another 100 dan of grain. Send it immediately."

Send again?
The businessmen around him became increasingly confused.

First there was Zhang Wenbao, then there was Xue Chengquan.

What if you stop doing business?

"Okay, Mr. Xue is also a righteous businessman!"

Liang Qu didn't mind at all and praised him as well.

Xue Chengquan had a son, Xue Dingyi, who was uneducated and a bastard. In the past, he had conflicts with Liang Qu and others in the martial arts hall. However, that was many years ago. Liang Qu had not seen Xue Dingyi in Pingyang Prefecture for a long time. He didn't know where he had gone and had a vague idea of ​​his appearance. However, he heard that Xue Chengquan divorced his original wife, remarried, and had a child.

"With Lord Liang's words, I am very lucky!"

There was a lot of noise at the pier.

"Brother Shui!"

Li Libo and Chen Jiechang loaded the materials and jumped off the bow.

"Libo, Jiechang, have you two seen Chaqing, Fan Zixuan and the others?"

The words have not yet fallen.

Cha Qing and Fan Zixuan jumped off the bow of the ship.

"grown ups!"

"What do you want, sir?"

"You two don't need to go to Xihe Mansion this time."

"Not going?" Cha Qing and Fan Zixuan looked at each other, worried, "But what's wrong with the two of us?"

Feilong has sent us tea every year, so why is it their turn to make a contribution...

"Don't worry, I'm not deliberately making things difficult for you. You have other important matters." Liang Qu took out a yellowed map from his arms and threw it to Cha Qing, "Follow the Guolong River and find out the situation of the residents along the river according to the markings on the map. I will come back to summarize it.

In addition, if there are families in the places marked in red, we will first ask them if they are willing to move. Those who are willing to move will be given a resettlement fee from the river bank account. The amount can be discussed between the two of you. If you move together and have no complaints, it will be counted as a small achievement for both of you. If you have complaints, one of you will be deducted. In short, don't let any bad things get to my ears."

move?

Although they didn't know the deep meaning of this move, since it was Liang Qu's order, Cha Qing and Fan Zixuan unfolded the map, took a look at it, wrote down the key points, gladly accepted the order, counted the manpower and ran to work.

Two small merits for a family are definitely not a small amount.

Going to Xihe Prefecture is a matter of luck, but going to Pingyang Prefecture is a good job that is sure to be done!
Tea/Feilong was not given away in vain!
"Sir, are you going to build piers for the river?" Li Shoufu was curious.

"Oh, how did you figure that out?"

"I just took a quick look and it seemed that you were drawing circles around several rivers, so I asked this question."

“Whether an idea will succeed or fail is still a matter of debate.”

Dun, a small island in the river.

The circles drawn by Liang Qu are all located at the key points of the river. The water of Long River goes straight down and becomes wider. From his perception, if a pier can be set up at the corresponding position, it can form a closed axis to block the dissipation of geomagnetic air.

Mastering the axis of heaven and earth, he first thought of changing his own environment to store wind and gather energy.

Changing the atrium is too difficult, but changing Pingyang City is definitely not difficult. With the help of mermaids and dragon people, the resistance and difficulty are very small. In terms of political decrees, we only need to get the support of Su Guishan.

Loading has not stopped.

I waited in the government office for half an hour.

Liang Qu, who was meditating and practicing in the study room and had mastered all the classics, was called down by Li Libo.

At the pier.

The mermaid waits.

"Master Liang!"

Liangqu is very novel.

"County Magistrate Quan? How come you have time to come ashore today?"

"My lord, I have fulfilled my mission. I will give you fifty mermaid tears!"

Quan Linghan presented a small leather bag, which was bulging, heavy and very full.

Liang Qu had a flash of inspiration.

"Done?"

"Your Excellency is wise! The tribe has more people than we thought, nearly two thousand, and they all agree to relocate!

I originally planned to find an opportunity to visit you, but I heard that you were going to Xihe Mansion soon, so I hurried to visit you."

"I was wondering how it could be such a coincidence! Just as I left the boat, the magistrate of Quan County came to visit me."

Liang Qu was overjoyed.

During the New Year, Quan Linghan said that a tribe of mermen had been found in the Jianghuai Lake, and that he was trying to contact them. After that, a big theater was built, and after half a year, they were finally persuaded!

Quan Linghan said: "I came here today, firstly to present the Mermaid Tears to you, sir, and secondly, you must be able to guess the situation of my tribe..."

"Don't worry, I will arrange for people to escort the mermaids to relocate after I get to Xihe Prefecture. Now all the experts in Pingyang Prefecture have gone to Xihe Prefecture for support, leaving only the governor, and he cannot spare any manpower for the time being."

"The important matter is there is no rush to relocate the mermaids." Quan Linghan quickly expressed his opinion.

Chat about the income of Jiaoxiao and the life of the tribesmen.

Liang Qu looked past Quan Linghan and saw the mermaid fabric decoration behind him, and suddenly a good idea came to his mind.

"Chief Quan, are there any powerful weavers among the mermaids?"

"Of course we have some. Mermaids produce mermaid silk and are good at weaving silk. They are almost naturals, no worse than the weavers in the manufacturing bureau. What kind of fabric do you need, sir?"

"There is indeed a thing, like this, like this, like this..."

"What about the size?"

"Well……"

……

In the afternoon.

The sunlight was tinged with orange. Fishing boats were returning to the port one after another with fully loaded fish. Basket after basket of fish were brought ashore. The big fresh fish were flapping their heads and tails, and the strong fishy smell was like an overturned pickle jar, spreading along the river breeze to the entire Yixing Town.

[Water Essence +134782]

[Water Essence: 350,000]

Spring goes and autumn comes, the sun and the moon go back and forth, and it is another "rent collection day" of the year.

Easily obtain 130,000 water essences.

After returning the Mermaid's Tears, the soldiers, officials, and merchants boarded the ship one after another. Liang Qu stood at the bow, looked around, his eyes fixed for a moment, and asked someone casually a few questions. After confirming that everything was correct, he ordered the fleet to set off. The supply fleet to support Xihe Prefecture sailed away from the pier in a mighty manner.

midnight.

The stars and the moon hang high.

The Jianghuai Lake is tranquil and peaceful, with waves rising and falling silently, as if there are water beasts swimming among them, ready to break out of the water at any time.

When everything is silent.

boom!
A violent explosion shot up into the sky!

The merchants, guards and officials in the entire fleet were all awakened.

"What's going on? What happened?"

"Don't sleep, don't sleep!"

"Oh no! It's Lord Liang's treasure ship!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

boom!
Kick open the door.

Liang Qu ran out of the room covered in dust and dirt.

"Sir, what happened?"

"Damn it, there's an assassin!"
