Lin Feng understood Wang Yue's intention, which was to go further.
In the past, when Wang Yue served as the county magistrate of Yongning County, although he wanted to become an official, it was because the family needed someone to stand up and carry the flag. Therefore, Wang Yue went to serve as a county magistrate, but he just muddle along, without much pursuit, and felt a little flat.
After experiencing some things, Wang Yue changed.
He is the legitimate son of the Wang family.
He is also the son of Wang Tang, the head of the Wang family.
He has enjoyed everything from the Wang family, so he naturally wants to carry the banner of the Wang family. So now Wang Yue has political demands and hopes to manage the place well and make achievements.
Lin Feng did not answer in a hurry. He thought for a while and said, "Brother, if you want to develop a place in Weiwu County, in my opinion, simple governance is difficult. Weiwu County is located in the west, and the geographical environment is worse. It is difficult to develop agriculture. It’s difficult.”
"My advice to you is to fully develop the business in Weiwu County."
"First, take advantage of the geographical environment of Weiwu County to develop local fruits and vegetables and transport them to other places for sale. Or, dry the fruits and sell them in preserves. This is one aspect of making Weiwu County a fruit town. .”
"Second, develop the war horse business. In Pegasus Village in the west of Guzang County, I got His Majesty's consent to change Pegasus Village into Pegasus Ranch and raise horses on a large scale. Lu Feitian, the owner of Pegasus Village, was His father Lu Jingyang was exiled, and the Lu family was not allowed to return to Xianyang."
"Your Majesty, you have now put past the past."
"Lu Feitian presides over the Pegasus Village. He is good at raising horses. Although the Pegasus Ranch itself belongs to the court, you cannot interfere. But you can start to get involved in some of the businesses outside the Pegasus Ranch and the needs of the ranch's supply. "
"Third, we can develop other industries, whether it is salt, tea, cloth, etc., so that more people can do business in Guzang County. Doing business in Guzang County is equivalent to doing business in Weiwu It’s one thing for the county to do business.”
"Fourth, in addition to commerce, we cannot relax in agriculture. We still need to further open up areas, cultivate the land as much as possible, and grow more food."
"The answer sheet you submitted to the court is nothing more than two aspects. The first is Weiwu County's grain production, and the second is Weiwu County's land tax and commercial development. If you have achieved results in both aspects, it will become easier for you to govern the place."
"Of course, being an official is also a human being. On the premise of properly handling government affairs, you also pay attention to how you behave. I believe this will not be a problem for my brother."
Lin Feng always believed that it would not be difficult for Wang Yue to govern the place.
The reason is simple, Wang Yue has a background.
Being a local official requires both ability and background. It is undeniable that the same two people are capable. On this basis, it will be much easier for people with backgrounds to govern, especially people like Wang Yue.
Born into the Wang family!
The legitimate son of the Wang family!
My father is the Minister of the Ministry of Finance!
My uncle was a hussar general of the Great Qin Dynasty.
With such a background, few people would dare to cause trouble when serving as local officials.
So if you have ideas and ambitions, if you pay attention to some methods and means when governing, it will be beneficial. Compared to a scholar who came from a poor family and had nothing, it was not so easy.
After Wang Yue listened, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he cupped his hands and said: "Xian brother, you have explained it clearly to me. Now I know what to do. I have a direction in governing Weiwu County, and I will definitely achieve results." .”
Lin Feng smiled and said: "That's good."
Wang Yue picked up the wine bottle and drank a glass of wine, feeling happy.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, Gao Xiaoyu entered, and reported: "Master Marquis, Li Dongshan is here to visit."
Lin Feng thought for a while and ordered: "Since you are here, please come over!"
"Here!"
Gao Xiaoyu turned around and went down.
Cui Yuantu reminded: "Master Marquis, we are drinking and dining in private. You don't go to the living room to meet the guests, but invite Li Dongshan to come. Is it inappropriate? What if Li Dongshan thinks he is disrespected and even deliberately humiliates him? , but it’s not good.”
"Although the Marquis is not afraid of Li Dongshan, the kid is difficult to deal with. If he offends the villain and causes trouble in private, it will be troublesome."
Cui Yuantu had worry on his face and said, "Should we meet him in another way?"
Lin Feng said confidently: "Don't worry, Li Dongshan is extremely smart. He knows what should be done and what shouldn't be done. And today's day is different. I am so happy with Lin'er, so it is natural to celebrate. He is here, please Drinking a glass of wine with him is also a way of getting closer to him, and he understands that.”
"Too!"
Cui Yuantu replied with a smile.
Lin Feng got a son.
This is worthy of celebration.
Not long after, Li Dongshan entered. At this moment, Lin Feng, Wang Yue, Huan Suzhi and Cui Yuantu all stood up to greet him. Although they are not afraid of Li Dongshan, after all, Li Dongshan is the governor of Liang and acts temporarily on behalf of the governor. He has a high official position and must have etiquette.
Li Dongshan glanced around, with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Master Lin, I'm sorry for bothering you."
Lin Feng said: "As the saying goes, it is better to arrive early than to arrive by chance. It just so happened that today, I just received a message from Heibingtai that my wife had given birth to a son. I was hosting a banquet to celebrate. Governor Li came and sat down to have a few drinks. .”
Li Dongshan's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Governor Li!
This is what Lin Feng calls him. It shows that he still has some opportunities, so Lin Feng calls him this. What's more, he respected Lin Feng in everything and cooperated with Lin Feng in his administration. As long as Lin Feng did not object, it was extremely possible for the court to arrange for him to take over as governor.
Lin Feng mentioned just now that there was a message from Heibingtai saying that Lin Feng's wife had given birth to a son.
Black Ice Platform sent a message.
This is the point.
Black Ice Platform is an intelligence agency directly under the emperor.
However, the news came from the Black Ice Platform, which shows that the emperor's trust in Lin Feng is simply boundless. Li Dongshan also knew that Lin Feng's wife was the prince's daughter and the princess of Da Qin. With such an identity, Lin Feng invited him to drink. This was an opportunity for him to get closer to Lin Feng.
As Li Dongshan's thoughts turned, he already had an idea in his mind. With a smile on his face, he took the initiative and said: "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders. In this case, I will shamelessly ask for a glass of wine. Alas, I came in a hurry, and I didn't know that the Marquis was so happy with Lin'er. Otherwise, I would have been treated with a slight courtesy. That’s it.”
He sat down, picked up the wine glass and said, "Master Marquis, I will punish myself with three drinks, please."
He picked up the wine glass and drank three glasses of wine in succession.
Li Dongshan has no background and is just an ordinary scholar. It would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Liangzhou on his own, let alone become an official in the central government. It would be different if Lin Feng was behind him.
That's why Li Dongshan is so urgent.
Lin Feng looked at Li Dongshan's gesture and smiled in his heart. He knew that his relationship with Li Dongshan was a matter of interest.
This is normal.
Only driven by interests can Li Dongshan cooperate.
Lin Feng drank a glass of wine and expressed his respect. Then he pointed at Wang Yue and introduced: "Li Shi, Wang Taishou is my brother. You should know what he is like. I don't need to say anything more." ?”
Li Dongshan said: "I know, I know, I understand."
Wang Yue is a member of the Wang family.
Li Dongshan already knew this.
Lin Feng said: "Brother Wang has always been honest in his actions. He came to Weiwu County to serve in order to make a career. In the same way, if Li Cishi wants to become a real feudal official, he also needs to be the acting governor. Make some political achievements."
"This year we will begin to publicize the land taxation in Liangzhou, and it will be implemented next year to collect land tax in Liangzhou. This matter is an opportunity for you and Brother Wang. All states and counties in Daqin must collect taxes. So the first year of taxation Taxes are also very important.”
"It's good for both of you if you get things done. Of course, governing the place is another matter. In short, you should keep in touch and govern Liangzhou well and Weiwu County well."
Li Dongshan became excited when he heard this.
This is connections.
Without Lin Feng's guidance, would Wang Yue pay attention to him?
impossible.
The two parties had no contact with each other, so Li Dongshan hurriedly approached him, which would make people laugh.
Li Dongshan was grateful to Lin Feng and said quickly: "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I will visit Governor Wang from time to time."
He looked at Wang Yue again, picked up the wine glass and said, "Prefect Wang, everything is in this glass of wine. If anything happens to Prefect Wang, just come to me. I will do my best to help you, please."
He raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Wang Yue knew that Lin Feng was trying to connect him. After all, Wang Yue was not good at this kind of communication.
With Lin Feng, it would be much easier.
Wang Yue cupped his hands and said, "Prince Li, please take care of me."
Li Dongshan answered modestly that although his official position was higher than that of Wang Yue, compared with the Wang family behind Wang Yue, he was just a scumbag, far behind.
So, you have to have a good relationship.
Lin Feng took the words again, looked at Huan Suzhi, and introduced: "Li Shishi, this is my sworn brother Huan Suzhi, a famous scholar in the Jin Dynasty, and the direct grandson of Huan Yu, the former prime minister of the Jin Dynasty. He came here at my invitation. Da Qin became an official. The reform of spreading people into acres in Guzang County is a big matter and is a national policy of Da Qin, so he followed me here to help me."
Li Dongshan felt his scalp numb when he heard that another person with a big background came.
Wang Yue is like this.
Huan Suzhi is even more like this.
After Huan Suzhi was still the prime minister of the Jin Dynasty, Huan Yu, Li Dongshan knew about Huan Yu. He was a famous prime minister of the Jin Dynasty in the past and had great power for a while.
Li Dongshan quickly picked up the wine glass and saluted: "I have met Mr. Huan. Mr. Huan, please!"
Huan Suzhi replied: "Please!"
He drank a glass of wine, and his impression of Li Dongshan was that he was flexible and flexible, and he was also good at talking. Li Dongshan's address to him was not an official title, but "Mr." as a courtesy to him.
Lin Feng pointed at Cui Yuantu and said seriously: "President Li, this is Cui Yuantu, my uncle. In the past, Uncle Cui served as a military advisor in my father's army, and he was also the military chief. He is in charge of the logistics and military affairs of the army. He is the chief steward of my father's army. He is also my father's best friend. He came from the Xia Kingdom to help me."
hiss!
After Li Dongshan heard this, he took another breath.
Li Dongshan naturally knew about Lin Feng's family background. Lin Feng's father was Lin Yuanzhong, the God of War of the Xia Kingdom, and he came from a family of generals.
Cui Yuantu's ability to serve as Lin Yuanzhong's military advisor shows his ability.
Such a person is incredible.
If Cui Yuantu is willing, he can serve as an official in the Qin Dynasty and hold important positions in the army. However, Cui Yuantu was doing things beside Lin Feng.
Everyone here is not simple.
Li Dongshan was even more in awe, but more importantly, he was happy, because Lin Feng recognized him by introducing them one by one. It is absolutely wise for him to take Lin Feng's line now. This is his resource.
Li Dongshan was extremely happy and stood up quickly. He felt that he could no longer sit still, so he clasped his hands together, bowed his head and said, "I have met Mr. Cui."
Cui Yuantu stood up and returned the greeting: "Li Shishi's words are serious and should not be treated like this."
Li Dongshan shook his head. He picked up the wine bottle and solemnly said: "I would like to offer a glass of wine to Mr. Li."
Cui Yuantu also responded.
The two of them sat down.
Li Dongshan's face was full of gratitude, and he looked at Lin Feng again. His mentality was more humble than before.
Lin Feng saw it and smiled in his heart.
This is also his purpose.
To make Li Dongshan use him for his own benefit, he must not only be driven by interests, but also let Li Dongshan know Lin Feng's strength.
Lin Feng put down the wine bottle and returned to the topic: "Chief Li is here today. What's the matter?"
Li Dongshan looked solemn and said solemnly: "Master Lin, it involves the request of the envoy of Gaochang State, so I am here to ask for your opinion."
Lin Feng said: "Why are the envoys of Gaochang Kingdom involved?"
Gaochang Kingdom is far away in the Western Regions. Ma Boya, a merchant from Gaochang Kingdom, came to Guzang County to buy salt. Because of Anguijia, the salt Maboya finally bought was also extremely expensive.
Maboya has been back for some time.
Could it be Ma Boya's influence?
Lin Feng's mind was racing, thinking about this matter. He has no good impression of the countries in the Western Region. When these people from various countries in the Western Regions have interests, they rush to come and take advantage of them. When there is no benefit, he can abandon you in a blink of an eye, or even attack you.
These people are afraid of power but not moral.
They are all profit-driven people.
When the Qin Dynasty became completely powerful, Lin Feng even suggested to the emperor to sweep through the Western Regions and destroy all the countries in the Western Regions.
Li Dongshan said sternly: "Master Lin, the thing is like this. A delegation from Gaochang State entered Liangzhou and was going to Xianyang to meet with His Majesty. The specific purpose of their purpose is unknown for the time being. However, as soon as the other party entered Liangzhou, they would first The next step is to arrange for someone to go to the governor's office to report that after arriving in Guzang County, he hopes to pay a visit to the Marquis so that I can make connections and ask for your opinion. I don't know any more information."
Lin Feng was even more curious.
The mission of Gaochang State's envoy was to go to Xianyang, but when passing through Liangzhou, they had to meet him specifically.
for what?
For the Lianhua Mountain Salt?
It's possible.
Lin Feng asked: "Li Cishi, Gao Changguo's envoy, when is expected to arrive?"
Li Dongshan replied: "It is estimated that it will take another three days, because the other party has only arranged for one person to make the request. I once asked the people from Gaochangguo's mission what they wanted to do, but the other party didn't know after asking three questions, and there was no way to understand clearly."
Lin Feng said: "It doesn't matter, let's meet them. I'm looking forward to what they are going to do."
Li Dongshan said: "Master Marquis, if the envoys of Gaochang State are domineering and arrogant, there is no need to give any face. This is Da Qin, there is no need to be afraid of them."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "I understand."
"Come, come, drink."
Lin Feng picked up his wine glass and saluted Li Dongshan from afar.
With the participation of Li Dongshan, the drinking atmosphere became even more lively, and the guests and hosts enjoyed a banquet. After Li Dongshan and Wang Yue left, Cui Yuantu and Huan Suzhi were the only two people left in the study. Although they were a little tipsy, their minds were still clear.
Cui Yuantu said: "Master Marquis, when the Gaochang State envoy comes, you must be careful. If it involves the diplomatic relations between the two countries, it will be troublesome."
Lin Feng said: "Uncle Cui, don't worry, I understand. Although Da Qin is not as good as Xia and Jin, the small countries in the Western Regions still have to look at Da Qin's face. I am also curious about the purpose of Gaochang's envoy coming to Da Qin. "
Huan Su said: "Now, let's wait and see what happens. When the other party arrives, watch their actions and listen to their words, and you will naturally understand."
After some discussion, they went to rest.
