Zhang Qingyu turned around obediently and looked at Liu Xin, which made Liu Xin feel a little guilty, but he couldn't help it if he didn't say anything.

"Qingyu, can you sleep in the outhouse tonight?"

Hearing what Liu Xin said, Zhang Qingyu was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears.

"Don't cry... I'll teach you how to manage the business at home. What do you think?" Liu Xin comforted.

"Is it because of Sister Xiaohua?" Zhang Qingyu thought of Wang Xiaohua, and the grievances in her heart became lighter. After all, Liu Xin and Wang Xiaohua had been married since childhood.

"No, you...just think that I have something to hide!" Liu Xin cried in her heart after saying this.

Zhang Qingyu looked surprised. She looked at Liu Xin with concern. She wanted to say something but didn't say anything in the end. She left the inner room and went to sleep in the outer room!

On the contrary, when Liu Xin woke up the next day and there was a noise, she saw Zhang Qingyu walking in with a washbasin. Zhang Qingyu seemed to be fine, and Liu Xin felt relieved.

After sparring with Fang Yue for an hour, Liu Xin almost fell down from exhaustion, but his force value still didn't improve at all. He went to the barracks to watch the training of family soldiers, and threw a few [Three

Double training card], and then kick out a few domestic soldiers whose loyalty is lower than 10, and let them go to Hexi to work as servants.

Nowadays, family soldiers are Liu Xin's strongest fighting force. He cannot be careless at all. This time he will go to Xiandu County to take office. He will have to make full preparations. He will recruit all 1,500 family soldiers by then. The only difference is dozens of places.

Choose from the servants.

Go to the city to find Wang Qingxun and discuss with him the establishment of 20 strongholds. Liu Xin has spent more than 100 million yuan, plus tens of thousands of kilograms of sugar, to buy shops and farms where he needs them, and a total of more than 6,000 acres of land.

, and there are more than 30 shops that are slowly opening their business now.

Jian Yong is currently trying to establish relations in Yingchuan and Nanyang, the two places where it is most difficult to establish roots. He doesn't know when it will take him to come back this year.

As for the shops that have opened, the 500-person caravan Liu Xin has now begun selling goods, making money for Liu Xin to continue to expand his territory.

None of the aristocratic families in Zhuo County knew about all this. They sent people to ask when his appointment would be announced, and Liu Qi gave the answer that it would be soon.

Liu Xin was sure that he could not integrate into any power in Zhuoxian County. Whether it was Liu Qi, the Lu family, or even the governor Liu Yu, his ideas and concepts were not in common with them, and it was impossible for them to get together.

However, everything is going well in Zhuoxian County now, and its overall strength has been restored. There will definitely be more and more conflicts of interest between him, the Lu family, and the Prefect's Mansion. The main reason is that Liu Xin's strength outside the city has grown by leaps and bounds, and his strength inside the city is also very high.

powerful.

Thinking about how to ease the conflict between the two parties and have less conflicts with the major forces in the city after taking office in Xiandu County, Liu Xin planned to take advantage of the high housing prices to get rid of the house in his hand.

Liu Xin sold more than 160 yards and shops in the city. He spent more than 10 million when buying them, and now they are worth hundreds of millions. This is the reason why he has driven the entire Zhuoxian economy.

When Zhang Chun rebels next year, history says that he will directly capture Ji County. I am afraid that Zhuo County will not be spared, so Liu Xinjue will have less involvement in the affairs of the city in the future. He has a place to stay in the south of the city and several shops.

Just sell the goods from Qilin Mountain.

Nearly a thousand people in the city have all moved out of Zhuoxian City, and the food shops that were previously opened to stabilize food prices have been sold. Next year, he will take some people to Xiandu County, which is much more important than Zhuoxian City.

Before leaving, Liu Xin remembered that he had given earrings and perfume to Zhang Qingyu yesterday, and he also gave one to Wang Xiaohua when he left.

Wang Qingxun kept mentioning his marriage to Wang Xiaohua, but Liu Xin always used various reasons to shirk it. He was a little unhappy when he saw Wang Qingxun.

"Uncle Wang, it's not that I don't want to marry Sister Xiaohua, it's not the right time now.

I'm going to sell the yard and shops in the city, and you don't want to stay in this city anymore. From now on, I'll let Xiaohua live directly in the upper yard, and you can go with me... If you don't want to, you can live in [New Town], and my family's business

You still have to take care of it." Liu Xin said this and Wang Qingxun was relieved. With Liu Xin's current strength, many aristocratic families were willing to marry him. He wanted to let his daughter marry Liu Xin when she came of age, but he was also worried.

When Liu Xin asked Wang Xiaohua to stay in the main hospital, she must have exercised her rights as a mistress, so she was not afraid that Liu Xin would have other intentions. Wang Qingxun nodded after hearing this. He didn't have to worry about safety even if he lived in [New Town].

There is only one way in and out of [New Town]. He controls Liu Xin's business. Even if Liu Xin marries another woman in the future, Wang Xiaohua's status will not change.

It's November and the weather is getting colder. Liu Xin doesn't have to worry about this year's green fodder.

Luyin Township is still so lively. Liu Xin has always wanted to go to Zhangjiazhuang but has not gone. He feels that it is not good for him to take the initiative to find Liu Bei now. He should wait until he is appointed.

On November 13th, Liu Xin had sold hundreds of houses in his hands, and his attitude was very clear. The aristocratic families in the city, the prefect's mansion, and the county government all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this. Liu Xin's growth was too rapid.

They were all worried that one day Liu Xin would march into the inner city and take charge of Zhuo County as governor, and the people would all support him.

The population of Zhuo County this year is obviously much larger than last year. The few refugees who were found were absorbed by the city and outside. With Liu Xin's economic traction, many aristocratic families made a lot of money, and the people of Zhuo County also benefited. Now the population of Zhuo County has reached

More than 100,000 people.

A city with a population of 100,000 people was considered a big city during this period. Ji County now has only a few more people than Zhuo County, and Luoyang only has 300,000 people.

After sparring with Zhou Tai for more than an hour, Liu Xin could feel that his strength had improved a lot recently, but it was difficult to improve his force, because Liu Xin had been sparring for too long recently, and neither Fang Yue nor Guan Hai were able to sparring with him.

, they were afraid of hurting Liu Xin when their strength was insufficient in the end.

Back in the upper courtyard, Zhang Qingyu had prepared bath water for him. Liu Xin lay in the bathtub and smiled comfortably. There were two roast chickens and a plate of sesame cakes on the table next to him. Liu Xin ate half of it in the bathtub and felt a little hungry.

It slowed down, and at this time there was a noise outside the house.

"Master, Master! The governor is here, and the imperial appointment has been made!" Zhang Qingyu shouted happily outside the house. Liu Xin had told her that she did not need anyone to take a bath.

When Liu Xin heard this, he jumped out of the bathtub, wiped himself dry, put on his clothes, and left. In the past few days, he was still worried about whether he could get the appointment and how he would find Liu Qi.

After leaving the gate of the Lower Courtyard and arriving at the gate of the dam barracks, Liu Xin saw that all the retainers and generals were already waiting here.

After leading dozens of people through the checkpoint, Liu Xin saw Liu Qi riding a horse. He saw Liu Xin coming out with a smile on his face and then dismounted.

"Head Liu... I should not call you County Magistrate Liu now! The appointment has been issued by the imperial court. This is the imperial edict and the official seal. You have to get it. You have to go to Luoyang to get the replacement." Liu Qi handed over a bamboo slip.

and the official seal wrapped in silk were given to Liu Xin.
