After the Gaochangguo mission left, Lin Feng was free again, and Guzang County entered steady development.
On this day, Huan Suzhi came back.
When Huan Suzhi returned to the county government office and saw Lin Feng, he bowed and said, "Master Hou."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Brother, you and I are brothers. If we call each other like this every time, wouldn't it be disrespectful?"
Huan Suzhi's expression did not change and he solemnly said: "Public affairs belong to public affairs and private affairs belong to private affairs. How can public and private be confused together? In private, I will not be like this either."
Lin Feng said: "That's all, it's up to you. When my brother comes back today, he won't go to Lianhua Mountain for the time being, right?"
Huan Suzhi replied: "The roads in Lianhua Mountain have been completely processed. In addition, the salt production in Lianhua Mountain has also been stable. Nowadays, part of the salt from Lianhua Mountain is supplied to major families such as Zhang Feng Mansion. One pound of salt is three One hundred and fifty cents per catty."
"The other part is for external supply, five hundred coins per pound. The quality of our Lianhua mountain salt is very good, and it sells well in all states in the Qin Dynasty. Although the price is a little expensive, some merchants from Jin and Xia, as well as merchants from Beiyan, come here Buy."
When it comes to Lianhua Mountain Salt, Huan Suzhi is very proud.
He made this bit by bit and put a lot of effort into it.
Lin Feng said: "It's a good thing that the salt in Lianhua Mountain is on the right track. In the future, my brother will arrange for someone to take charge of Lianhua Mountain."
Lin Feng had received news from Huan Suzhi before that the production of Lianhua Mountain Salt had been increasing and expanding in scale. Up to now, the output reaches nearly one thousand kilograms per day.
This is the limit today.
It is impossible to expand in a short period of time.
Although the roads in Lianhua Mountain are repaired, there is no need for so many people to do work, but as the Lianhua Mountain Salt Industry expands, a large number of people are needed to do work. Maintaining new salt wells, as well as boiling salt, drying salt, packaging, preservation, transportation and other tasks all require people to do things.
These positions help people make money and make their lives better.
At the same time, the government also benefited from this.
Huan Suzhi said: "I have made arrangements, the Marquis does not need to worry. Now that the matter is over, as for Han Yan, he has been following me to do things. As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. When he followed Shen Quan in the past, it was Shen Quan The staff may have done many wrong things.”
"This period of time is different. He works hard in Lianhua Mountain without complaining, is conscientious, and can concentrate on doing things. I think this is a talent that can be created and can be cultivated. I even think he can stay by my side."
Lin Feng said: "I understand what brother means."
"Somebody come!"
"Inform Han Yan to come and discuss matters."
Lin Feng ordered to go down.
Not long after, Han Yan entered the study. When he saw Huan Suzhi, he realized that it might be something involving him.
Han Yan said respectfully: "I am humble enough to pay homage to Lord Marquis and meet Mr. Huan."
Lin Feng said: "I have seen your performance in Lianhua Mountain. You are capable and conscientious in your work, and I praise you very much. Now the road in Lianhua Mountain has been repaired and the matter is over. Next, what do you have in mind? Intend?"
Han Yan said: "Let the Marquis arrange it."
Lin Feng said: "In Weiwu County, the reform of dividing people into acres is being carried out everywhere. This edict has been issued by the imperial court. As for Xiutu County, the county magistrate is old and has to retire, and there are vacancies. Are you willing to take up the post?"
Huan Su was a little surprised when he heard this.
Don't you want to stay with me?
How to transfer to Xiutu County to serve as county magistrate?
Huan Su was confused, but he didn't interfere and just watched quietly.
When Han Yan heard Lin Feng's arrangement, he made a plop, knelt down and said, "Master Hou, I don't want to be the county magistrate. I would rather stay with Master Hou and be a pawn. I beg you to take him in." "
The position of magistrate of Xiutu County seems good, but in fact it is just that. Based on his background, he has no chance of promotion after serving as county magistrate.
Xiutu County is not more prosperous than the counties in Yongzhou, Guanzhong.
Xiutu County is even more remote.
What’s the point of serving as such a county magistrate? Even in Han Yan's heart, he was not happy to let him go to Yongzhou to serve as the county magistrate. Because by following Lin Feng, we have a bright future. The so-called seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, Lin Feng has a bright future, and he is willing to follow Lin Feng.
Huan Suzhi raised his eyebrows and a smile appeared on his lips. He understood immediately.
This is a test!
Lin Feng made a special inquiry to test Han Yan and see how Han Yan would answer.
Lin Feng said: "Han Yan, have you thought about it?"
Han Yan said: "The villain has thought about it."
Lin Feng said: "In that case, you can stay and be an aide by my side."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis."
Han Yan became excited.
In the past, he followed Shen Quan and was also a staff member, but Shen Quan only knew how to make money and did not give him any chance. Lin Feng was different. He looked at what Lin Feng did in Guzang County and realized that he really wanted to do something.
Before, he transferred from working under Shen Quan to working under Lin Feng, but Lin Feng just accepted him. Now after Lin Feng's words, it was different. Lin Feng made a special inquiry this time and truly accepted him.
From then on, he was Lin Feng's man.
Lin Feng said: "Go and help Brother Huan with his work."
"Here!"
Han Yan turned around and left.
Huan Suzhi looked at Han Yan's leaving back and said with a smile: "Master Hou, Han Yan is capable and discerning. Master Hou can use such a smart person."
Lin Feng said: "The more talents, the better. Only by embracing all rivers can we become big."
Huan Suzhi nodded and agreed with Lin Feng's words.
While the two were chatting, Cui Yuantu followed him in. After bowing to Lin Feng, he nodded to Huan Suzhi and said, "Master Marquis, after paying the tax on the tenants, the subsequent settlement and filing of the accounts, as well as the settlement and filing of the accounts in various places. All payment status has been reorganized and archived.”
"The filing matter is actually more cumbersome than collecting taxes, and it has only been completely solved now. Among them, Malay Fu has made a contribution, which is very good. Malay Fu has been working with me before, assisting with the land survey of the 100 acres of land. , and assist in collecting taxes. I think this person can be promoted and appointed as the Marquis’ confidant."
Lin Feng said: "What is Uncle Cui's plan?"
But it was funny in his heart, first Han Yan, and now Ma Laifu, they all chose this time.
However, these people must be arranged properly.
This is Lin Feng's direct confidant.
Cui Yuantu said: "Ma Laifu can be allowed to serve as the county magistrate of Guzang County. This position is enough to give him experience. Furthermore, promoting Ma Laifu will help the Ma family further be loyal to the Marquis."
Lin Feng said: "If Uncle Cui agrees, let's make arrangements."
Cui Yuantu said: "It is most appropriate to ask the Marquis to arrange this matter in person."
Lin Feng did not refuse and directly arranged for someone to call Malay Fu. Today's Malay Fu is much darker than in the past, unlike when he first started working with Cui Yuantu, when Malai Fu was fair and clean.
Now, he looks like a rough man, with dark skin and simpler clothes.
Lin Feng knew about Malaifu's situation.
This person can endure hardship, which is very good.
Ma Laifu bowed and stood in the study, feeling a little uneasy. He wondered why Lin Feng had summoned him.
What's more, Cui Yuantu and Huan Su are still there.
Lin Feng said in a deep voice: "Ma Laifu, if the policy of apportioning one person to one acre continues to be promoted, the land will be surveyed, taxes will be collected, and all the files will be classified. I cannot but reward you for your meritorious service. From today onwards , you serve as the county magistrate of Guzang County, and you still assist Uncle Cui in his work."
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."
Malaifu became excited.
He was happy and grateful to Lin Feng, and felt that his father's decision was wise.
So wise.
He became the county magistrate of Guzang County.
Malai Fu knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am so kind to you. Malai Fu will definitely die to repay your kindness."
Lin Feng said: "Do things well, this is fundamental."
"Master Marquis's teachings, please bear in mind your humble duty."
Malaifu answered quickly.
Lin Feng waved his hand, and Ma Laifu stood up and left. After he walked out of the county government office, he felt that the world was vast and his heart was at ease. He had been taking care of the Ma family's affairs before, and with such an identity, he could not be brought to the fore after all.
Today, it is different.
He became the county magistrate.
Ma Laifu first took care of the temporary matters at hand before going home. As soon as he returned home, Ma Teng saw Ma Laifu and wondered: "Laifu, why are you back so early today?"
Ma Laifu, who works in the county government, was extremely busy before. It was during this time that he was cleaning up files and had some free time.
Even so, it is rare to come back early.
Ma Laifu was so excited that he folded his hands and bowed to Ma Teng.
Ma Teng was stunned and asked: "You are so weird, what are you doing?"
Ma Laifu said: "Father, my son has been appointed by the Marquis and is now the county magistrate of Guzang County."
"Okay, okay."
Ma Teng's eyes were bright.
He made the right bet.
Lin Feng never treated his own people harshly. Malaifu assisted Lin Feng for a short time and became the county magistrate of Guzang County.
Ma Teng clasped his hands together and bowed in the direction of the county government office.
This is thanks to Lin Feng.
"We, the Ma family, owe everything to the Marquis for what we are today. Although the Ma family also paid a lot in the past, salt energy is now making a steady stream of money. In addition, the tea business operated by the Ma family is also booming."
"Master Lin is very kind to us."
"Laifu, you are now an official, and your status is different. But as a father, I want to remind you not to be impatient, or to use chicken feathers as arrows. Now that you are doing things, you must be more sincere and down-to-earth, and guard against arrogance and impatience. Do you understand? "
Ma Teng was even more rational and reminded: "Only if you work hard can you get the approval and recognition of Lord Lin and have a future. If you think that becoming the county magistrate will be a disaster, you will be complacent and ultimately end up ruining your future." "
Ma Laifu said: "My son understands."
Ma Teng nodded with satisfaction and said: "One more thing. The Marquis treats you as kindly as heaven. The person you have to be loyal to is the Marquis. You don't have to worry about other people. This is fundamental. We are the Marquis for one day. A person who belongs to you will be the Marquis's person for the rest of his life. When you are in the officialdom, it is inevitable that you will have to express your stance. It is enough for you to remember that you are the Marquis's person."
Malaifu nodded again.
Ma Teng gave some instructions and expelled Ma Laifu, asking him to go to the county government to work again, but he went to the ancestral hall instead.
