Ren Ning was slightly startled, then quickly sneered.
Although he was away fighting most of the time, Ren Ning also heard a lot of weird secrets about the royal family.
Many of them are just to deify the royal family and make the common people easier to tame.
Some are complete nonsense.
But it was the first time Ren Ning encountered him when it came to him.
He snorted without even looking at the newspaper, "Master Qin, is my name, Ren Ning, included in this story?"
Qin Pengju shook his head, "That's not true. But..."
Ren Ning sat up straight and interrupted the other party directly, "Then I dare to ask Lord County Sheriff, why do you think of me?"
In an instant, the aura of his body that had been used to kill people in the battlefield was faintly suppressed.
call.
Qin Pengju's breathing couldn't help but become a little heavier.
As a border governor, and the war of annihilation in Nanfeng hadn't been long ago, he had naturally seen the battlefield, but at this time he still couldn't help but feel chills and difficulty breathing.
"General Ren is laughing." Qin Pengju wiped his sweat secretly, "I only heard some rumors occasionally, and I am a guest in your house, so I just told the general for fun."
"I have no other intentions."
"Have fun?" Ren Ning stood up loudly.
His face was full of ice, "I have been leading troops outside for many years. Even if I am embarrassed by seeing many of my soldiers who have made great achievements in battle, I cannot get a few days of family leave. We are not like Mr. Qin and his family. It’s so easy to live in the Sheriff’s Mansion and have so much free time.”
"If the Sheriff has nothing else to do, please come back."
"Butler, see the guests off!"
Zou Dahe, who was waiting outside the hall, quickly walked in and extended his right hand outward, "Master Sheriff, my general has some things to do. Please come over here."
"Recognize the misunderstanding." Qin Pengju waved his hand quickly, and was so anxious that he forgot to call himself his official, "I really want to discuss something with the general this time."
Ren Ning glanced at the newspaper and said, "What the Sheriff is talking about are not those random rumors fabricated by people, right?"
"Of course not." Qin Pengju smiled and shook his head repeatedly, "These are important matters related to Guangxin's future. This is also the main reason why I came to see the general this time."
After speaking, he looked at Ren Ning longingly.
Although Yingpan and Li Hezhu can also make the decision on many things, they are women after all.
Qin Pengju was a civil servant who passed the examination. Even if he wanted to talk to the two of them, he would not dare to come to the door easily to avoid suspicion, let alone recruit them from the Yamen.
Ren Ning snorted.
He glanced at Qin Pengju a few times, thinking that he would not dare to lie to him, and then sat down again.
Qin Pengju breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took the document handed over by his master.
"General Ren, please look at these documents."
"Thanks to the government's vigorous development, Guangxin now has very smooth land and water routes. The county's rubber, various fruit products, and insecticide powder are very popular in the north. It can be said that as long as these things can be transported out, We sell as many as we can, demand simply exceeds supply.”
"Earlier, some people from the upper counties headed by Su Lan came, hoping to set up a special business center in our county for better transactions..."
Having said this, he hesitated.
"I wonder if the general knows about this? The people sent by each county have not left yet, and they have been waiting for my reply. But the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and they will rush back to celebrate the New Year soon."
Qin Pengju was also a little bitter.
Naturally, Ren Ning’s permission is not required to set up a business location.
But now Nanshu City is overcrowded, and even the ten miles outside the city are filled with people who have moved from other places, and most of the land in the county belongs to the two generals Ren and Li.
Superior counties like Su Lan want to come here to set up business locations, and Qin Pengju knows that this is definitely a good thing. But if Ren and Li's family didn't open their mouths, he wouldn't be able to make a promise to the other party no matter how tempted he was.
"I just found out." Ren Ning pondered for a while, "I have to think about this first. No matter what the outcome is, I will give the county governor a prepared reply within three days."
Qin Pengju was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
"The second thing is to open a school."
He himself comes from a poor background, so he understands how important knowledge is to ordinary people. It can be said that it is one of the few prerequisites for them to stand up.
And Guangkai School offers free classes, which is something that Qin Pengju, an ordinary county governor, would never dare to think about.
Now that the largest wealthy man in the county has proposed it and provided sufficient funds, he, as the county governor, is naturally willing to help.
After all, if someone becomes famous from high school, it will be because of Qin Pengju's political achievements.
"Is there any difficulty in this?" Ren Ning asked.
Qin Pengju rubbed his hands in embarrassment.
"General, you know that it is easy to establish a school, but it is not so easy to find the teachers needed for the school. What's more, according to the general's intention, the entire Guangxin must set up schools. Then the number of teachers needed will be even more."
"Although I have asked the county magistrate below to search hard, the gap is still huge."
"I wonder what solution the general has?"
Ren Ning was silent for a while, "Continue to recruit masters from outside and strongly encourage them to move to Guangxin. At the same time, we must also train ourselves."
"Also, you might as well take the initiative to contact the major legions."
"All major legions?" Qin Pengju was a little confused.
He quickly reacted.
In recent years, the imperial court or Taishifu has been promoting pinyin literacy.
The first to benefit were the well-trained border guards. For example, many rough guys like Gu Datou also knew a lot of words.
There have been many wars recently, especially the just-ended Dingxi War, in which various legions suffered heavy casualties.
Many of them are injured on the battlefield and often have to retire if it is too serious.
Although these literate soldiers were physically disabled, they still had the knowledge in their minds and could actually serve as teachers in the school.
"This..." Qin Pengju frowned deeply in embarrassment, "It's not very appropriate."
He is not a person like the former governor of Misty County, who dared to ignore the laws of the court and work around, and ultimately made the county's politics, military, and supervision indistinguishable.
It is indeed a bit difficult for Qin Pengju to send people to contact the border guards.
cough.
Ren Ning coughed with a strange look on his face.
He himself was also a soldier in the frontier army, and one of the eight generals of the Xingluo Legion. However, Qin Pengju seemed to have forgotten this.
"Let's do this. I will send people to contact all major legions to find injured soldiers who can become wives. If they intend to come to Guangxin, please ask the county governor to arrange them properly. How about that?"
Qin Pengju breathed a sigh of relief, "Of course it's no problem."
"Soldiers fought bravely to defend the country and shed blood on the battlefield. They should be respected and respected by all walks of life. But in the past, if they retired after being injured, they would often have to serve as bodyguards in the generals' mansions, or else they would go home and live a lonely life. Now It’s the best to finally have another way out.”
Ren Ning nodded silently.
The two chatted about many other things.
Qin Pengju's eyes got bigger and bigger as he talked.
As the forward lieutenant of the Starfall Legion, Ren Ning was well aware of military matters, so he was not surprised at all.
Now when the two of them talked about various matters in the county, Ren Ning also spoke eloquently, and even had some insights that were much better than his, the county guard's.
This inevitably made Qin Pengju look at him with admiration.
The more the two chatted, the more they became interested. They chatted all morning, but Qin Pengju still felt that it was not enough.
If he hadn't remembered that the general's wife was about to give birth, and as a county guard, he also had a lot of official duties to be busy with. Otherwise, Qin Pengju would still be reluctant to leave.
After leaving the General's Mansion, the Master turned around and looked at the plaque on the lintel with great emotion.
"My lord, this general is truly amazing. He is both civil and military."
"If he is really the prince who is rumored to be living among the people, then the future of the empire will be really bright."
cough.
Qin Pengju coughed and said, "It's just rumors, don't take it to heart. Let's go back home."
First latest.
