Start as Slave, The Eldest Lady Fell In Love With Me At First Sight

0419: Return Qi To Qi, Dare Not Speak Out When Angry.

The words of the black cat girl confirmed Amo's inner guess, and saw the attitude of the knights.

He knew Qiao Ji was not someone to mess with, so he immediately bowed slightly with a friendly smile.

Aymo saluted immediately, and said respectfully, "Master Marquis, it's a small faux pas."

The knights behind him also saluted respectfully, and then retreated to the side, all bowing their heads and not daring to look at Ji.

At the same time, those who watched the excitement surrounding Qiao Ji and the others immediately took several steps back.

"It's actually Lord Marquis Qiao Ji, he is a hero of the empire, he actually came to Beigang?"

"The news you know is too backward, and many places in Bishou are divided into the territory of Lord Marquis.

"Hahahaha Elmo's embarrassed look is so funny."

The onlookers were talking softly, but they looked at Qiao Wu with Shendu full of respect.

Seeing that Qiao Ji didn't pay attention to him, Aimo immediately flattered him, "I heard that Lord Marquis just arrived in Beigang last night and wiped out the Black Sea Pirates? How brave."

really. Qiao Ji gave Emer a cold look.

He directly led Lei Nai and others to the carriage beside the avenue, not wanting to talk to Emer for the time being.

Qiao Ji originally suspected that this was a temptation, because Aimer was not surprised when he heard that he was the Marquis.

It was an expression that really did. It was obvious that the consul of Hailan City had already received the news.

It can be proved from the fact that Emer accidentally slipped his mouth when he wanted to flatter him just now.

When the surrounding onlookers heard Emer's words, they all showed shocked expressions and looked at Qiao Ji.

"What? The Black Sea Pirates were wiped out by Qiao Ji?"

"Isn't this true? Is our imperial hero so brave? Killed a pirate group as soon as he arrived at Beigang?"

"It's great, it seems that our days will be better in the future."

Most of the onlookers at the port were businessmen, and they were naturally happy to hear that the pirate group had been wiped out.

In this way, their future trade will be much safer, because the activity of the Black Sea Pirates is much higher than that of the other two pirates.

Emer was slightly relieved when he saw the back of Qiao Ji leaving, because he really gave people a strong sense of oppression.

Coupled with the well-equipped knights brought by Qiao Ji, each of them does not look weak.

Originally, he was still taking chances, thinking that Qiao Ji was someone who could be easily manipulated, but in reality he was the one who was manipulated.

Emer dismissed the spectators around, and murmured, "You're only a teenager, why do you look so imposing..."

"Tat Tat Tat..."

After Qiao Ji and the others got into the carriage, they headed towards the inner city.

Lei Nai pulled down the curtain of the carriage, rolled his eyes and said, "That guy changed his face too fast."

"My lord, could he be sent by the consul to test us?" Lian Xin always felt that something was wrong.

"It should be, but his idea is wrong." Qiao Ji's face turned cold.

While Qiao Ji and the others were talking, the carriage had already slowly stopped in the front yard of a castle.

This castle is the only castle in Hailan City, and it is also where the consul lives.

At this time, the consul received the news from the port first, and was already waiting in the open space in the front yard of the castle.

When he saw Qiao Ji and the others stepping off the carriage, he greeted them respectfully, and greeted them with a playful smile, "Master Marquis, you have worked hard all the way."

"Let me also sort out the financial situation of Hailan City for the past year, as well as the tax policies of Hailan City and surrounding villages and towns."

Qiao Ji ignored the consul who was smiling apologetically, and walked towards the castle hall.

Lei Nai, Lian Xin, Shi Duo and others followed closely behind, but also did not even look at the consul.

Qiao Ji stopped after a few steps, and ordered without looking back, "I'll give you half an hour to tidy up.

"Yes." The consul's face was stiff.

"Tap Tat Tat..."

He looked at Qiao Ji's leaving back and dared not speak out, he could only blame his title for not being as rich as him.

The consul is a first-class viscount, of course, so what if his title is higher than Qiao Ji?

Hailan City is the territory assigned by the emperor to Qiao Ji, so he is naturally inferior to other people's territories.

The consul clenched his fists fiercely, he knew that this was a blow to him by the five poisons.

He was angry, dared not to speak out, he did not dare to delay, and immediately took the clerk of Hailan City to sort out the information Qiao Ji wanted.

...asking for flowers...

Half an hour later, in the castle hall.

Qiao Ji was sitting on the main seat, her jewel-like pupils were coldly looking at the consul who came late.

He propped his face with one hand, and asked majesticly, "Where is the information I want?"

The consul bowed with sweat profusely, pointed to the left and right sides and said respectfully, "Master Marquis, all the information is here.

The two clerks standing beside him, both holding stacks of parchment, were also sweating profusely.

You must know that Hailan City has always been managed by the consul, and has never been divided into anyone.

So he didn't care much about Hailan City's financial situation, only the dim sum in the first few years when he took over.

0

Gradually, he no longer cared about it, as long as he listened to the clerk's report every year that he was making money.

Suddenly it appears that individuals depend on their financial situation, and it is naturally laborious for the consul to sort it out.

And the tax policy is the same, they are all carried out according to the initial formulation, sometimes a few items are added occasionally, and no one has sorted out the specific information.

.." Qiao Ji just looked at the consul with cold eyes, and didn't signal anyone to pick up the documents.

The consul quickly took the documents from the hands of the two clerks [respectfully stepped forward and handed them over.

"Tat Tat Tat..."

Qiao Ji took the documents indifferently, opened them and carefully browsed them.

He didn't speak, and the consul didn't dare to speak. He quietly stepped aside and waited for the season to finish.

half an hour later.

Qiao Ji read all the materials, and when he saw the financial situation, he kept frowning.

The annual income of Hailan City is not bad, at least in the desolate Beifa.

It wasn't until Qiao Ji opened up the tax policy that he realized where all the income came from.

It is nothing more than some unreasonable taxes, high berthing fees, etc., which make Hailan City earn a lot of money.

"Is everything packed? You're leaving Hailan City tomorrow." Qiao Ji said coldly as he closed the documents.

"Yes." The consul gritted his teeth and lowered his head.

Although he is respectful on the surface, he actually hates Qiao Ji in his heart, but what can he do?
