Yao Xing was overjoyed.
Lose money and eliminate disaster.
He could survive by giving Lin Feng money. As long as he lived, he would have a chance to escape from Guzang County. He won over some people from the Qiang tribe on the border of Liangzhou, and with his superb methods, he made friends with a group of powerful people and gained the trust of the Qiang King.
As long as he goes back, he will still have a chance.
Yao Xing was overjoyed, and the look of decadence on his face became slightly more joyful and expectant. He quickly said: "Master Hou, the money I hid is at the foot of Moshan Mountain outside the north city of Guzang County. I dug a big hole specifically for the gold." Pack it up and hide it underground.”
"The reason why I chose Moshan outside Beicheng is that the place is relatively remote and few people go there. Moreover, I have always said that the Qiang tribe has no money, so they can get Yang Shanlong's care. This is the money of the Qiang tribe, and I will add it little by little. . Now, they are all dedicated to the Marquis."
Lin Feng said: "General Meng, please arrange for your soldiers to go to Moshan outside the north city of Guzang County and withdraw all the money."
Meng Ao asked: "Send it to the county government?"
"yes!"
Lin Feng nodded and answered.
Meng Ao immediately arranged for Pei Qing and his soldiers to escort Yao Xing to Moshan in Beicheng to withdraw money.
Lin Feng said again: "General Meng, when these 100,000 taels of gold are taken out, I will give you 5,000 taels of gold to use to improve the soldiers' food and improve the brothers' clothes. Add two more sets of clothes, and I will give them to you." A little monthly salary is always good.”
"This won't work."
Meng Ao shook his head directly and said: "The Marquis has your Majesty's tiger talisman for mobilizing troops. It is natural for me to send troops to help."
Lin Feng said: "General Meng, this is my wish, so don't refuse. If you want to get money from the Ministry of Household Affairs to subsidize the soldiers, it is almost impossible. The money goes into Wang Tang's pocket and comes out as Jiuqu Eighteen bends.”
"I have to ask you to help with the one hundred thousand taels of gold this time. You keep five thousand taels of gold, and I keep fifteen thousand taels. For the remaining eighty thousand taels of gold, you arrange for soldiers to escort them back to Xianyang. Leave it to the court."
"It hasn't been long since the epidemic and floods. I don't know how the situation in the court is? I hope these 80,000 taels of gold can help your majesty solve some troubles. This year's Great Qin will be full of disasters."
Meng Ao was the general who guarded Liangzhou. He loved his soldiers as much as his son, and he was not a greedy person.
Such a person can feel at ease if Lin Feng gives him money.
Meng'ao will not devour money.
Five thousand taels of gold must be used on soldiers. Furthermore, Meng'ao sent out troops and sent out troops, and orders returned to orders. Lin Feng asked someone for help, so he naturally wanted to thank him. This is not using Lin Feng's own money, but using the money collected from Yao Xing. It doesn't matter if he uses it.
If you borrow something, you must repay it. It’s not difficult to borrow again.
Borrowing money is like this, and in fact, the same is true for dealing with favors. Meng Ao doesn't need to give it, but Lin Feng has to give it. Otherwise, how could Lin Feng ask for help in the future?
This is how relationships are maintained.
This is Lin Feng's code of conduct.
After hearing this, Meng Ao looked at Lin Feng with increasing approval and admiration. Lin Feng was worthy of being a disciple of Xunzi.
He is indeed a person highly valued by the emperor.
No wonder things are so prosperous in Da Qin.
"Master Hou, I'm not polite."
Meng Ao nodded solemnly.
Five thousand gold is not a small amount for the army. It can buy a lot of clothes and a lot of meat.
Moreover, some subsidies can be provided to soldiers.
At this time, Meng'ao's soldiers began to clean up the battlefield and count the losses of this battle.
Meng Ao was fine. He looked at the captives and asked: "Master Hou, what should we do with these prisoners? Although there are not many of them, they are still prisoners. These people are all young and strong, and they still have some value. I feel like killing them What a pity.”
Lin Feng said with a smile: "Send them all to Lianhua Mountain to build roads. Such captives are natural slaves, perfect for building roads."
Meng Ao said: "That's all right. When we return to the city, I will hand over these prisoners to the custody of the county government soldiers. Speaking of the Qiang and Di people being taken as prisoners, there is another thing that I don't know whether to talk about properly. speak."
Lin Feng said: "General Meng just says it doesn't matter."
Meng Ao reminded: "Yao Xing is, after all, the leader of the Qiang tribe in Guzang County. He is able to curry favor with Yang Shanlong and even continues to increase the strength of the tribe. This person is very capable and scheming, and is good at forbearance. Such a person, You can’t take it lightly. What’s more, you and he have a hatred for genocide and family destruction. With such deep hatred, do you think he can give up? "
Lin Feng laughed and said: "General Meng is worried that I will cause trouble by raising tigers, right?"
Meng Ao said: "The so-called good swimmer drowns, often your danger does not come from your lack of coping ability, but from your own arrogance. I think Yao Xing must handle it properly. Otherwise, this will be a disaster in the future."
Young people are prone to drifting.
It is also easy to be arrogant.
This is normal.
Meng Ao had a very good impression of Lin Feng, and he did not want Lin Feng to capsize.
Lin Feng laughed and explained: "General Meng, what I said to Yao Xing earlier was that I would not kill him if I took out one hundred thousand taels of gold. It does not mean that others cannot kill him. Yao Xing and I, It’s a matter of sworn hatred. If I keep him here, am I waiting for him to kill me? What’s more, he has no value anymore.”
"That's right, Lord Marquis is wise."
Meng Ao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "In that case, I will arrange for someone to send a message to Pei Qing. He will lead his team there, and when he takes out one hundred thousand taels of gold, he will execute Yao Xing directly."
Lin Feng said: "Thank you, general."
Meng Ao continued chatting with Lin Feng. After counting the bodies and burning all the bodies, Meng Ao and Lin Feng rushed back.
Lin Feng looked at Lu Feitian and asked: "Lu Feitian, when you arrive in Guzang County, do you want to stay in Guzang County for a while, or go back to your Pegasus Village?"
Lu Feitian said quickly: "I'd better go back to Pegasus Village. There are so many people in the county and I'm not used to it. In Pegasus Village, I can enjoy myself and be comfortable by myself."
Lin Feng nodded and said: "That's fine, that's up to you. In addition, your Lu family and the memorial about you have already been sent to Xianyang. After His Majesty reads it, the situation of the Lu family will be completely resolved. This matter will take some time. Time, don’t be impatient.”
Lu Feitian said solemnly: "Since I surrendered to the Marquis, I should believe in the Marquis."
Lu Feitian and Lin Feng also played against each other before. At that time, I felt that Lin Feng was powerful, but it was not as intuitive as it is today. Seeing Lin Feng kill Yan Shuangdao with three punches and then defeat An Fan, he was extremely shocked.
Lin Feng's strength was stronger than he imagined.
From the previous conversation between Lin Feng and Meng Ao, Lu Feitian felt that Lin Feng could make things happen.
Such a person is amazing.
He Lu Feitian plays for Lin Feng, not bad.
This is his chance.
Lin Feng didn't know what Lu Feitian was thinking, so he just smiled and said, "Just wait for the news."
Lu Feitian said no more.
The group of people rushed back.
Meng Ao led his army to Guzang County, handed over all the prisoners, and went straight back to the military camp. Lu Feitian also left. After Lin Feng arranged for the prisoners to be sent to Lianhua Mountain, Cui Yuantu came in a hurry.
He looked at Lin Feng with a concerned look on his face and asked, "Master Marquis, how is the situation of this battle?"
Lin Feng explained: "Uncle Cui, I am so well prepared that I will definitely win."
At the moment, Lin Feng gave a brief explanation, talking about killing two grandmasters in a row and escaping a grandmaster. He also talked about Pu Hong being killed, Yao Xing temporarily going to get the gold, and finally allocating five thousand taels of gold to Meng'ao thing.
After Cui Yuantu heard this, a bright smile appeared on his face.
Pu Hong was killed and the two masters died.
This is a good thing.
Cui Yuantu reminded: "Master Hou, the remaining Yao Xing is a disaster. Don't feel pity just because he begs for mercy. This person has no value after taking the money, and must be executed directly to avoid future troubles." "
Lin Feng said: "Uncle Cui, don't worry, Pei Qing will handle it. Once the money is taken out, Pei Qing will kill Yao Xing directly."
"Okay, that's good."
Cui Yuantu was completely reassured and said: "In this way, the problem of the Qiang and Di people in Guzang County will be completely solved. We will be more stable in Guzang County."
Having said this, Cui Yuantu was silent for a moment and said: "This year's taxation is successful. When does the Marquis plan to leave? You came to Guzang County only for a pilot project, and you will not stay forever."
Lin Feng said: "Everything in Guzang County has just started, and you have to wait a while before you leave. We must implement the policy of sharing every share of land, complete the household registration census of the people, develop commerce, and build everything in Guzang County." Once the scale is established, it won’t be too late for me to leave. Almost, probably next year.”
Cui Yuantu nodded and said: "Originally, I was supposed to check the land even though I was in my humble position, but I just couldn't feel at ease because I was thinking about the Marquis. Now that the Marquis is back, I will deal with the land affairs. This is a top priority."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Uncle Cui, what are you worried about? There is nothing to worry about."
Cui Yuantu bowed and stood up to leave.
Lin Feng wrote a memorial, which was sent to the emperor Ying Jiuxiao, saying that Lin Feng asked Meng Ao to send troops to escort 80,000 taels of gold back.
Lin Feng's memorial will be sent back first.
The gold will be escorted back later.
Lin Feng arranged for someone to send the memorial away as quickly as possible. Around the afternoon, Pei Qing came back. He escorted the team to the county government office. After seeing Lin Feng, Pei Qing said: "Master Hou, one hundred thousand taels of gold, all have been paid." take out."
"In addition, Yao Xing has been killed directly, not by piercing the heart, but by chopping off the head. This guy killed many people in Daqin in Guzang County in the past, and he should have died long ago. After Yao Xing was killed, he had already Throwing corpses into the wilderness.”
"One hundred thousand taels of gold, please accept it, Lord Marquis."
Pei Qing has been in Guzang County for some years and knows Guzang County quite well, as well as Yao Xing.
Pei Qing felt very happy after killing Yao Xing.
The more people who harm and exploit the people of Da Qin, the better.
Lin Feng said: "I will collect 15,000 taels of the 100,000 taels of gold that I took out, and you will transport the remaining 85,000 taels of gold back. The weight is 80,000 taels of gold, and General Meng'ao will arrange for it to be sent back. Xianyang. Five thousand taels of gold, you can allocate it yourself. This is what General Meng and I have already discussed."
"Here!"
Pei Qing didn't say much and answered directly.
He just needs to follow the instructions.
Lin Feng arranged for someone to collect fifteen thousand taels of gold, put it all into the warehouse, and asked Pei Qing to leave with all the gold.
In the evening, Cui Yuantu came back.
He was delighted when he learned that fifteen thousand taels of gold had been put into the treasury. There were 300,000 jins of grain donated by the Ma family, and now there are 15,000 taels of gold in the warehouse. Guzang County's warehouse has money and grain again. For the time being, Guzang County's finances are good.
This is a special situation.
It is impossible to search money so recklessly anywhere in the world.
Otherwise, chaos will ensue.
Guzang County needs funds to start up, especially when the Yang family is in trouble and Shen Quan is greedy, which is why this situation exists.
Lin Feng and Cui Yuantu sat opposite each other in the study. Cui Yuantu said: "Master Hou, Malaifu has started to do things today. This boy is quite spiritual and has some abilities. Today, he has more negotiations with the local authorities because he I understood the situation and everything went smoothly, more than half as fast as before.”
"In my opinion, Malay Fu could be of great use."
"That boy Zhang Zhao also won the respect of Wang Yue in the Prefect's Mansion. The same goes for this Ma Laifu. Speaking of which, this kind of person who first experienced in the family and can take care of family affairs will become an official once he becomes an official. Like a fish in water.”
"This kind of person is very good."
Cui Yuantu said: "If the Marquis leaves Guzang County in the future, in order to ensure the continued governance of Guzang County, Ma Laifu can be arranged to take over."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Uncle Cui, what you see now is only Ma Laifu's ability. His character and his strategy and program for governing the local area cannot be seen for the time being. In the officialdom, we need capable people, and more importantly, we need to have qualified people." The bottom line is a person who has political demands. A person who has political demands will know how to benefit the people. This is very critical. In the case of Malay Fu, it will be tested slowly."
Cui Yuantu said solemnly: "Master Hou is right."
When he was in the Xia Kingdom, he met countless capable officials. These officials were not focused on governing the place, but were all focused on making money.
Or please the superior and pay bribes to get promoted.
Such officials are capable but have a crooked mind. Such people are even more harmful.
Lin Feng thought for a while and said: "The policy of dividing land into acres has been implemented, and there are almost no people to stop it. The problem now is that the speed of surveying the land is relatively slow. Uncle Cui, according to the current progress, what can you do?" When is the investigation finished?”
Cui Yuantu said: "July at the latest, and if it's sooner, it should be around the end of June. The territory is really vast, and there are still some barren places, and the mountain roads are rugged and difficult to navigate. At the end of the day, I can't see much in some places. I can't Just relying on the original records of the land, fish scales and yellow books, one must see it to believe it.”
Lin Feng said: "Since it will be completed in June or July, there won't be much of a problem. Uncle Cui has been busy all day, so he should rest early."
Cui Yuantu bowed his hands and bowed, then turned around and left.
Lin Feng sat in the room and began to think about the subsequent tax collection. Taxation was based on land, which involved all aspects of details and required long-term planning on his part.
