On the way back, the previously muddy ground was now covered with a layer of green bricks, making the entire road extremely smooth and extending in all directions.

I heard from Chen Hu that several nearby villages are now paved with this kind of blue bricks, which makes traveling much easier.

Qin Hao smiled knowingly and said to himself: If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. This is true.

It seems that Zhuge Xuan did a lot of things during his absence.

"Where are Zhuge Xuan and the others now?" Qin Hao wanted to meet his hero.

"Master Zhuge and Li Guo are now living in Hongshan Village to deal with political affairs. Many workshops have been built there recently and are close to the refugee resettlement camp. There are many things to deal with and there is almost no time to come back. Master Li Chun and Li Yi are Build salt fields along the west coast." Chen Hu carefully reported the situation of several people one by one.

In a few words, Chen Hu gave an overview of recent events.

Qin Hao just nodded after hearing this and said nothing more. Now he basically doesn't listen. In the past month, he has experienced three wars, large and small. He didn't feel anything there before, but now he feels abnormally tired when he comes back.

After returning to the mansion, he fell asleep, but before going to bed, he still asked people to prepare dinner. Tonight, he wanted to entertain and reward the meritorious people.

This is no small thing!

It's night, Pingyuan Village is brightly lit, and a grand banquet is held here again!

However, unlike the last banquet for the people, this time the banquet was for the soldiers who had returned in triumph, the soldiers who had stayed behind, and their relatives.

Grilled clams, grilled frogs, chicken breasts with bamboo shoots, rice wine grains, burnt belly, fried raw eel, flowered pearls, cooked tiger meat, grilled loach, black-coated tofu, jellyfish collection, fried chicken, grilled duck, a twist of needles, boiled meat.

Dishes with delicious flavors and flavors were brought to the table one after another, while the master chef stood aside and explained to everyone the preparation techniques of each dish.

Wang Jiu's youngest son held his fingers in his mouth and asked his mother eagerly, "Why can daddy sit at that table over there and eat so many dishes?" Xiaobao counted them, and the plates were bigger than those on our table. Many, many, seven or eight!”

Wang Jiu's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, stuffed a piece of fat braised pork into her son's mouth with a smile on her face, "My silly son, your father is sitting there because he led the way for the general." , made great contributions, so the general invited him to sit on the table!

A Bao fanned his little eyes and thought seriously for a long time, then asked his mother in pain, "Mom, A Bao will also sit at the table and eat so many good things!"

"Okay, when you grow up, you can go to war with the General and earn a good contribution for your mother. Then it would be best to marry a beautiful aunt and come back to serve me."

"Mom, one is not enough, I want to marry three to serve you." Abao said innocently, licking his fingers dipped in sauce.

"Hahaha!" The neighbors at the same table laughed one after another.

Just like the army, the celebration banquet also fully reflects Qin Hao's characteristics.

The soldiers who went on the expedition and those who stayed behind sat in the inner courtyard, where the most sumptuous dishes were served, while the rest of the family members sat in the outer courtyard, where they all had medium-sized banquets.

Amid cheers from everyone, Qin Hao sat on top of the chief with sleepy eyes. He slept for a long time this time. When he woke up, it was dark and everyone was almost there.

Zhuge Xuan and Li Guo have both come back. You must not take the wind and wash away the dust when you return.

Except for Li Chun and Li Yi, they were on the coast and sent messages in time. They couldn't make it back in an afternoon, so no one went to notify them, so they were asked to stay there first. After a few days, Qin Hao planned to personally Go for a walk.

"Everyone, we haven't seen each other for many days." Qin Hao smiled and greeted everyone at the table.

Everyone did not dare to express their gratitude and immediately thanked them. Qin Hao smiled and asked them to be more natural, and then ordered Zhuge Xuan to give the order for tonight's banquet to officially begin.

"After the reward, we won't talk about official business today. Give me a good night's rest and relax. We'll talk about anything tomorrow." Qin Hao reminded me before eating.

This sentence was specially meant for Zhuge Xuan to hear. When he was in San Salvador, this guy wrote countless letters urging him to come back. Now that he is back, Qin Hao doesn't want to be knee-deep with him on the first night. talk.

After Zhuge Xuan heard this, he smiled helplessly and shook his head. Knowing what his master meant, he had no choice but to pick up the merit book he had prepared and start reading it out.

"Your Excellency Jun's decree: Anyone who beheads an enemy soldier above the first level will be rewarded with 50 acres of Yongye field. It will be hereditary and will not be replaced, and taxes will never be increased!"

These were rewards for the cavalry and slashing soldiers. After all, they were the only ones who had participated in the battle recently, and they were not surprised at all. They just stood up and thanked them, and then continued to sit down and eat.

However, as soon as this news came out, the soldiers who stayed behind were in an uproar.

They didn't expect the reward to be so generous!

I don’t know how many soldiers who stayed behind were killed by Hate. They gritted their teeth and were eager to try. They secretly swore in their hearts, "Next time we fight, we must work together with the brothers in Jiali and the team to achieve a feat!"

Nowadays, most people's families only have 5 acres of land at most, and the final ownership rights of these 50 acres of land do not belong to them. People can cultivate it only by paying taxes every year, and the land they are allocated cannot be bought or sold at will.

And no matter how much you want, it is impossible to earn a share of the property for your descendants. Qin Hao and Zhuge Xuan agreed on the quota for each person and household early in the morning.

However, the Yongye fields rewarded today are different. Although one-tenth of the grain tax must be paid every quarter, these fields can be used for trading and belong entirely to oneself. Moreover, according to the tax penalties set by Qin Hao, as long as the family owns Someone who serves as a soldier can be exempted from 10% of the grain tax, which means that these fields only need to pay 10% of the tax every quarter.

This is a great gift!

Of course, being a soldier is not the only way to go. The most direct way is to go into battle and kill the enemy. However, in addition, Qin Hao has also formulated many other ways, such as inventing new objects and providing some kind of effective medicine. According to the degree of contribution, Yongye Tian was entrusted.

Taiwan Island is an undeveloped place, and the most important thing is land. Qin Hao has calculated that if Taiwan Island is completely reclaimed, it will have at least 10 million acres of mature farmland, and resettling 1 million people will not be a problem.

The purpose of Qin Hao's move is to get more people to work for him. Only in this way can the cake get bigger and bigger. By then, not only Taiwan, but also Ming Dynasty, Japan, and Luzon will be his cake. As long as he controls the rudder well, this will be his cake. Everything will be included.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere of the banquet became lively. They guessed the orders, poured wine and dishes, and said some warm words to each other.

Qin Hao couldn't help falling out of the usual routine and asked him how the maids he had given to Zhuge Xuan were doing. He only blushed with anger and refused to answer.

"Hahaha"

Qin Hao laughed a few times and suddenly remembered the wine Amorim had given him. He hurriedly asked someone to bring it and poured a glass for everyone on the table.

"Try them all, how do you think?"

Picking up the wine glass, Qin Hao staggered around, almost unable to stand. He had already drank a lot of white wine just now. After drinking the glass of wine, he could no longer hold it in. He closed his eyelids tightly and passed out.

The soldiers around smiled and helped Qin Hao off the wine table. It could be seen that the general was really happy tonight, otherwise he would not be so drunk.
