Chapter 18 Living Buddha
"Mr. Qin, you saw it, aren't they?" Ma Qianhu stepped forward, spread his hands, an innocent expression on his face, and felt proud.
Qin Yiming ignored Ma Qianhu and continued, "Get the torch!"
Qin Yiming put the knives of the soldiers on the torches and roasted them. Ma Qianhu didn't understand why this was. The military households were also whispering. At this time, an old man shouted in the middle of the military households: "Yes, the blood-stained knife will turn green on the fire! Lord Qin is indeed smart!"
Everyone suddenly realized.
The cattle-killer saw that his knife changed color slightly when it was baked in the fire, so he knelt down.
"Sir, please spare me, head of the family, help me!"
"You guys actually beat someone for three cents of silver and killed Old Man Xu. The crime is unforgivable. Moreover, when I asked, I refused to admit it. The crime was even higher than the top. There was no joke in the army. Everything was done according to the military law. People came to pull these madmen out and chopped me out!" Qin Yiming said it firmly and his face was cold. Ma Qianhu didn't dare to come forward to plead with his mercy. Those military households were so scared that they dared not vent their anger. These were Ma Qianhu's servants. They usually showed off their power and said that they would be killed if they were killed?
It's really killed!
Taking over this mess, many things have to start from scratch. Since the cattle killing incident, Qin Yiming has noticed the busy farming issue that is about to come. This is a big problem. If the military households cannot sow seeds on time, then there will be no food in the future.
So in the past few days, Qin Yiming has been visiting almost all of them, and he found that the military households here are really too poor. Some families are not covered in clothes, but the most serious problem is that there is not enough food and not enough farm tools, especially plowing oxen, which is almost none. Plowing oxen is too expensive and most people cannot afford it.
In view of these situations, Qin Yiming's solution was to pay for the food first, lend it to these military households, at least let them eat enough, and return it after they harvest the food. In addition, if there are urgent situations, the ward will borrow money from the ward to avoid being exploited by usury. As for the ox, the ward will also pay for the food to be purchased and borrowed by the farmers.
After all, he has to pay for it himself.
"Hey, Master, you are such a prodigal son!"
"Young Master, we only have tens of thousands of taels of silver in total. If you spread it like this, you will probably be thrown away by you soon, and you can't hear a sound!"
Big bull and little monkey poured cold water beside them, they really felt sorry for money.
"It's not just about food and agricultural tools, I also have to find craftsmen and build iron shops. Our soldiers don't even have weapons, let alone armor, and they are all unclothed. It's not a big deal. Do you all go out to fight and are they naked?" Qin Yiming said whatever he thought of.
"Young Master, if you do this, then we will not be enough even if we take out all the money!" said the little monkey.
"When the military households have a harvest, it will be fine then!" Qin Yiming said.
"What will it take several months?"
"What should I do? You can't wait!" Qin Yiming knew that thieves would soon pass through the border, and he could not assemble a decent team at that time. I'm afraid that the creatures would be ruined here, and time would not wait for anyone!
However, Qin Yiming also knew that this was not a solution, so he had to think of a longer-term solution. In the future, there would be more places to spend money, but for a moment, he had no choice! He remembered Sun Shirui and the county magistrate of Anlu County, so he ran away happily, just to go to buy things.
When Sun Shirui saw Qin Yiming coming, he was very happy, but when he heard that he was coming to borrow money, he immediately hung his donkey face. Although he heard that Qin Yiming was working hard in the garrison and was very pleased, Anlu County was also very poor. The most important thing is that Anlu County does not have its own small treasury. As early as the Wanli year, the court issued a policy to confiscate all the small treasurys in the local area and put them in his own treasury.
However, there is one thing that Sun Shirui can help, that is, borrow some food to Qin Yiming. In the end, Qin Yiming got 500 stones of grain, but it was not without gains.
There are ready-made ones in the Blacksmith Guard, but there is no iron. You need to find a businessman to buy iron. The first thing Qin Yiming thinks of is the Xu family, so the second time Qin Yiming visited is the one that hasn't seen for a long time. I like it
A fiancée dressed in a woman's costume.
Unfortunately, Qin Yiming lost everything. According to the servant of the Xu family, their lady went to the temple in Yingshan to pray to the gods and worship Buddha. Qin Yiming had no choice but to leave a prayer letter containing Xu Zhen'er's jade pendant, and was about to leave.
"Who are you? What are you doing when you come to my house?" A drunk young man appeared at the gate of the Xu family and was supported by Xiao Ding, the guardian.
"Young Master Xu, this is the Lord Qianhu!" Xiao Ding explained.
Qin Yiming looked at him. The man who was called Mr. Xu was about fourteen or fifteen years old, but he looked seventeen or eighteen years old. He developed prematurely. He looked ignorant and unrestrained. He should be Xu Zhen'er's younger brother-in-law. His future brother-in-law immediately squeezed out a smile, but he regretted it in the next second.
"Oh, it turns out he is a soldier leader. Hello, what business do you do when you come to my house?" Mr. Xu was a little rude.
Qin Yiming was so displeased, and he felt a little unhappy, but he didn't show it. However, Daniu and Xiaohou couldn't bear it. Xiaohou immediately said angrily: "What are you going to be with me? This is Lord Qianhu, why are you so rude!"
"Haha, Master Qianhu! What a master Qianhu, what's wrong with you Master Qianhu? After all, you are a low-key martial artist. I am a scholar who is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics. I am a scholar. I look down on you vulgar martial artists the most, and you are a lackey! When Master Qi was in front of Hu Zongtang, he called him Entang. After I was in high school, you can only call yourself in front of me, do you know?" Master Xu said with a humming look, looking at the sky with an arrogant look.
"What do you call it?" asked Daniu.
"See you! Hahaha!" Young Master Xu laughed arrogantly.
Both the big giant and the little monkey wanted to rush over and beat the arrogant scholar, but Qin Yiming stopped drinking. The martial artist and the literary man had a huge difference in status, and this brother-in-law was not wrong. But fortunately, it is now the end of the Ming Dynasty. Because there are many wars, the status of the martial artist has been greatly improved.
"let's go!"
Young Master Xu seemed to be victorious and continued to shout: "I want to do it, come on, it's not to scare you, just by the three of you, there are two or three hundred clans in our family. If you are a man, don't run away!"
Walking on the street, the big cow's stomach whimpered.
"Let's go to Zuixianju to have a bar first. Let's talk about other things, and my stomach is gingering." Daniu complained.
Qin Yiming happened to be hungry, so he got into Zuixianju.
"Hey, my eyelids are always pounding recently, making me restless. I feel something bad is going to happen."
"You go to the temple to worship the living Buddha and ensure you are safe!"
"Where is a living Buddha to worship?"
