Tian Liuzi, Zhang Cheng, Old Han Zhao, and Feng Shuanzhu cried for a while.
When they were almost done crying, the few of them looked at each other.
Then, they went forward to greet him again.
"This humble servant is Tian Liuzi, a hereditary centenarian of the Wei Office, and the former instructor of the Northern Expedition Army's firearms camp!”
"This humble servant is Zhang Cheng, a hereditary centenarian of the Wei Office, the former captain of the Northern Expedition Army's Left Vanguard Battalion!”
"This humble servant is Old Han Zhao, a hereditary centurion of the Wei Office, and the former scout captain of the Northern Expedition Army's Left Vanguard Camp!”
"This humble servant is Feng Lianzhu, a hereditary centenarian of the Wei Office, the former sentry officer of the Northern Expedition Army's Left Vanguard Camp!”
"Greetings, Young Master Qin!"
"Just because Young Master Qin spoke up for us today, we will wholeheartedly assist Young Master!”
"If you have second thoughts, be struck by lightning!"
Qin Mu had originally thought that these people were just ordinary soldiers.
He had never thought that there would be an officer, and a hereditary centurion!
"Uhh…"
"Our Great Ming's officers shouldn't be so miserable, right?”
Lan Yong stepped forward and kicked them one by one.
"Young Master Qin must be joking. This bunch of fools are deliberately acting for you to see.”
"Stop watching the show. Hurry up and go back and change into decent clothes!”
"Yes, sir!"
The crowd dispersed in an instant. When they came out again, they were indeed much better. However, there were only a few patches. The children could put on their clothes now.
Compared to Qin Mu's expectations, this was still a lot worse.
However, this was basically the current situation of the Ming village.
When he first arrived at Liu Village, it was not even as good as this place.
At the very least, many people's clothes had more patches than the people in Black Tortoise Manor.
From this, it could be seen that Lan Yu treated these people quite well.
Tian Liuzi and the others had also changed into their military uniforms.
Although it was still old, there were no patches. It finally looked like a military household.
"Young Master Qin, this is the owner of Black Tortoise Manor.”
"Since you've taken over this manor, everyone in the manor will have to follow you in the future.”
"Butler Lan, is there a problem with their military identities?”
"I'm only a scholar, so I don't have the qualifications to be a soldier.”
"If the imperial court finds out about this, won't they convict me of something?”
Lan Yong waved his hand indifferently.
"Hey!"
"Young Master Qin is worrying too much. No one will find trouble with you.”
"These people were originally soldiers of the Ying Tian Prefecture. The civil officials of the Ying Tian Prefecture were unwilling to give them land, so they relied on my old master's manor to make a living.”
"As long as they don't cause trouble, kill people, or set fires, the local magistrate will turn a blind eye.”
"In the future, if anyone bullies Young Master Qin, Young Master Qin doesn't have to endure it. Just pat these guys to teach them a lesson for you!”
When Qin Mu heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
It turned out that there was not a single honest person in their Old Lan family. A seemingly gentle butler revealed his arrogant and despotic nature with a few words.
"Then there's no need!"
"I have other arrangements for these people. I guarantee that they won't starve to death.”
"Oh right, how many soldiers under General Lan have not been settled yet?”
Lan Yong thought for a moment.
"There aren't many, only a few thousand households.”
Young Master Qin doesn't know that in order to feed these people, my Old Master has racked his brains…"
Qin Mu's eyes lit up when he heard that, as if he had discovered the password to becoming rich.
"Go back and discuss with your master to see if you can give these military households to me!”
"Give you all of them?"
"What do you want?"
Lan Yong's eyes immediately became alert.
If the thousands of military households were not handled well, they would rebel.
Could it be that this little scholar in front of him still dared to rebel?
Didn't they say that a talented person could rebel for ten years?
Qin Mu chuckled.
"Of course it's useful."
"However, if you're unwilling, I won't force you.”
"For the time being, these 300 households are enough for me to use for a period of time.”
"Enough for a while…"
Tian Liuzi and the others looked at each other. Why did these words sound a little scary?
Judging from their tone, they were like expendable goods…
Lan Yong was also stunned.
He originally thought that after Qin Mu took over the manor, he would immediately chase these soldiers out and recruit some farmers to help him farm.
Unexpectedly, not only did the other party not despise the military households, he even felt that it was too little.
Didn't he know that military households were all troublesome people?
Unyielding and causing trouble?
As for being of great use…
This sounded like nonsense.
What was the use of this bunch of killers? Unless they wanted to rebel and become the emperor, they were a bunch of trash!
The farming was muddled. A good Black Tortoise Manor was unable to make ends meet in a few years.
As for war…
Which general would be willing to take them?
Lan Yong racked his brains, but he still couldn't figure out what use these military households had.
In his view, this was a group of burdens that pressed down on Lan Fu until he was almost unable to breathe.
However, it was also a good thing that such a silly child was willing to help share the burden.
He had asked around in private, this Young Master Qin's ability to earn money was great.
The House of Taste restaurant could earn dozens of taels of silver every day.
There was obviously no pressure at all to support such a village.
"Young Master Qin, this is the situation at Black Tortoise Manor.”
"This lowly one will hand over the manor to you. I have also introduced these manor heads to you. In the future, this manor will have nothing to do with our Lan Manor!”
"Got it!"
"I'll support this group of people in the future!"
Lan Yong cupped his hands at Qin Mu and thanked him sincerely.
"Thank you, Young Master."
"If Young Master despises them one day, please send them back to the Lan Mansion. You must not let them suffer.”
"I am here to thank Young Master on behalf of my Old Master!”
Lan Yong bowed to Qin Mu and left.
At this point, Xuanwu Manor was completely surnamed Qin.
Not only did Qin Mu gain three thousand mu of land, but he also gained three hundred military households!
After Butler Lan left, the few heads of Black Tortoise Manor looked at Qin Mu nervously.
Even though they had a good impression of Qin Mu, this child was too young. Did he know how to farm and manage?
If he were to mess around blindly, something big would happen!
Just as everyone's hearts were pounding, Qin Mu slowly spoke.
"Everyone, I solemnly promise you.”
"The good days of our Black Tortoise Manor have begun!”
"Next, everyone will cooperate with the people I brought to register their household registration and prepare for the next step of land reform!”
"Land reform?"
"Young Master Qin, what is land reform?"
Let alone Tian Liuzi and the rest who didn't understand, even Liu Yue who grew up with Qin Mu was dumbfounded when he heard this word.
"You don't have to care about what I mean. Just do as I say!”
Qin Mu stayed in Black Tortoise Manor that day and busied himself with the land reform.
Little did he know that his movements had already been transmitted back to the palace and placed on Zhu Yuanzhang's desk.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the records of the Brocade Guard and frowned.
"Land reform?"
"What does this child want!"
"Is this going to overturn the heavens?!"
Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not know what land reform was, he had rich experience in revolutionary struggles. When he saw these two words, he instinctively felt that something was going to happen.
"Send someone to keep an eye on it!"
"If there's any movement, quickly come back and report to us!”
