Lin Feng flicked his sleeves and ordered: "Kill!"
"Lin Feng, you can't kill me."
Cai Jingshan shouted hysterically.
"ah!"
A scream came out.
Zhao Feixiong's knife passed through the air and cut Cai Jingshan's neck.
Blood overflowed and Cai Jingshan died immediately.
Cai Jingshan fell to the ground, with deep reluctance in his eyes. He confided the most important news to Lin Feng. Why did Lin Feng want to kill him?
Lin Feng glanced at Cai Jingshan's body and ordered: "Take all the money away. The shops run by Cai Jingshan will be sealed immediately. In addition, all the Gaochang soldiers brought by Cai Jingshan will be killed without leaving a single one behind."
"Here!"
Zhao Feixiong agreed directly.
He ordered to kill all Cai Jingshan's people in a short period of time. At the same time, they moved overnight to remove all Cai Jingshan's money, and then went to the store to seal it and remove all the food. In one night, more than three million kilograms of grain were transported to the county government's grain depot for storage.
The people did not know what happened at night.
However, the next morning, the government posted a notice clarifying Cai Jingshan's affairs and refuting rumors that Gaochang State was planning to attack Da Qin. The changes in food prices subsided from then on.
Food prices have returned to stability.
Lin Feng killed Cai Jingshan this time and harvested 60,000 taels of silver and more than 3 million jins of grain. For Lin Feng, he didn't care much about this.
Food is available in Guzang County.
There is no shortage of money now.
At noon, during lunch, Huan Suzhi and Cui Yuantu came back together. When the three of them were at the county government office, they usually ate together.
While eating, we also talked about things.
After finishing his meal, Lin Feng put down his bowl and chopsticks and said, "Uncle Cui, the matter concerning Cai Jingshan in Gaochang Kingdom is over. However, through Cai Jingshan, we got an extremely important news. Gaochang Kingdom discovered an open-air cave." The copper mine was only discovered this year.”
"I am going to suggest to Your Majesty to attack Gaochang Kingdom."
"So, I am going to go back to Xianyang and ask your Majesty to send troops. Of course, this time I leave Guzang County, I will not serve as the county magistrate again. The court will arrange a new candidate to serve as the Guzang County Magistrate."
Lin Feng's original plan was to wait until the spring of next year before taking over the affairs of Guzang County.
Through Cai Jingshan, important news about Gao Changguo was discovered.
Lin Feng wanted to destroy Gaochang State, but his original plan changed and he had to step down and hand over his post early.
Huan Suzhi's eyes lit up and he said: "Gaochang State has a large-scale open-pit copper mine, which is a great blessing for Daqin. But even if you leave office, the candidate for Guzang County Magistrate will most likely be recommended by you. Who are you going to recommend as the new county magistrate?"
Lin Feng said: "Ma Laifu is more suitable."
"Can!"
Huan Suzhi said: "Ma Laifu has been following me since the time I started working as a tenant. He is familiar with the situation in Guzang County. If he comes to serve, he can further stabilize the development of Guzang County. The only concern is that Ma Laifu comes from Ma Laifu in Guzang County." Although I am working in Guzang County, there are some hidden dangers."
Lin Feng said: "In my opinion, it doesn't matter. If Malai Fu is capable, the court will make arrangements for him in the future. If Malai Fu cannot be stable here in Guzang County and cannot distinguish between public and private affairs, there will be no need to promote him."
Huan Su said: "That's true."
Lin Feng said: "Brother, you and Uncle Cui are currently living in Guzang County. When I come back from Xianyang, it will be the time to send troops."
Huan Suzhi nodded and said, "No problem."
Lin Feng stood up and said: "While I am away, the county government will be handed over to my brother and Uncle Cui."
Huan Suzhi shook his head and said: "I think that since Ma Laifu is allowed to take over as the county magistrate, he will make the decision and we can just watch. Or, we can just ignore it. After all, we only need to wait for the Marquis to return to Guzang. County, let’s go together to defeat Gaochang Kingdom.”
Lin Feng said: "That's okay, just follow my brother's advice."
After a pause, Lin Feng continued: "I will go to the prefect's mansion to see Brother Wang first, and then go to the governor's mansion to talk to Li Dongshan. Li Dongshan here, judging from this period of time, he is a capable person. He ruled Liangzhou is adjusting rapidly, which is very good."
Huan Su's way: "Before, it was because Shen Quan was incompetent, and Li Dongshan couldn't use his ability even if he had it. Furthermore, brother Xian is now in Guzang County, which has relieved a lot of pressure for Li Dongshan, so that Li Dongshan can use his ability. If there is no Xian Brother, it is impossible for Li Dongshan to have such an opportunity."
Lin Feng nodded, explained to Huan Suzhi and Cui Yuantu, and then went to the prefect's mansion.
When Lin Feng saw Wang Yue, he directly stated his purpose of coming, told him about his upcoming return to Xianyang, and the possible attack on Gaochang State next.
Finally, Lin Feng said: "I want to go back to Xianyang. If my brother has a letter from home, I will take it with me."
Wang Yue shook his head and said: "I often send letters home to Xianyang, so there is nothing to send back."
He couldn't help but sigh, quite disappointed.
"Brother Xian is in Guzang County. As the governor of Weiwei County, I am very relaxed. Even if I have any problems, I can directly ask brother Xian for help. I didn't expect that you are about to leave now. But brother Xian, you are here in Guzang County. The appointment in Zang County is only for the purpose of piloting the practice of allocating people into acres."
"Nowadays, not only is the farming of farmers a big success, but also in Guzang County, because of Xiandi's management, businesses such as tea, salt, cloth, grain, and horses have begun to flourish. Everything is very good."
“The development of Guzang County has led to the development of Weiwu County.”
"I'd like to thank you dear brother here."
"It's like I'm serving in Weiwu County, and I asked my wise brother to help me."
Wang Yue looked grateful.
If Lin Feng had not come to serve in Guzang County, he would have been an empty post in Weiwu County. He had been ignored by the Yang family and could not achieve political achievements. Because of Lin Feng, everything in Guzang County changed, making Guzang County and Weiwu County flourish.
Wang Yue continued: "My dear brother is about to leave office. Do you have any arrangements for the candidate for Guzang County Magistrate?"
Lin Feng said: "I just want to talk about this. My plan is to let Ma Laifu take over. He is very capable. My brother should also keep an eye on him. After all, he comes from the Ma family in Guzang County. I don't want the Yang family to have another A big family took advantage of the situation to rise up and oppress the people."
"Can!"
Wang Yue answered directly.
Wang Yue also noticed Ma Laifu's performance during this period.
He also approved it.
Lin Feng talked to Wang Yue about other government affairs and gave Wang Yue advice on governance issues.
It was almost noon, and Lin Feng had lunch before leaving.
Lin Feng went to the Governor's Mansion again in the afternoon and had a chat with Li Dongshan. Many times, Li Dongshan asked and Lin Feng answered, which took a long time.
In the evening, Lin Feng returned to the county government office.
After Lin Feng calmed down, he called Ma Laifu alone. In the afternoon, Ma Laifu heard the news that Lin Feng was leaving Guzang County.
However, Malaifu didn't know about his arrangement. On the one hand, Huan Suzhi never revealed it. On the other hand, Wang Yue will not notify in advance without authorization. Otherwise, if the news gets out, if something unexpected happens or something unexpected happens, it will be in trouble.
Ma Laifu was a little excited inside.
He had some ideas, but he didn't know how Lin Feng would arrange it for him, so he was both excited and worried.
Ma Laifu bowed and said: "Master Hou."
Lin Feng said: "Ma Laifu, you have done a good job during your time in the county government. It stands to reason that you have been promoted quickly from being a white man to the county government as the county magistrate. But I only hire people based on their ability. You If you are capable, I am willing to promote you. I am about to leave Guzang County, and the post of county magistrate will be vacant."
Ma Laifu suddenly felt excited, as expected, it was related to the arrangement of the Guzang County Magistrate.
In his heart, he was extremely looking forward to it.
But also uneasy.
In terms of seniority, there is Han Yan in front of him, who is also Lin Feng's confidant, so it may not be his turn.
However, Lin Feng met him alone.
Ma Laifu did not express his position for the time being, looking at Lin Feng expectantly.
Lin Feng continued: "I have to go back to Xianyang now. The tentative arrangement after I leave is for you to temporarily act as the county magistrate. However, although there is no problem with the mighty prefect, the court still needs to agree on this matter. When I return to Xianyang, I will ask your Majesty for instructions."
Ma Laifu felt confident.
Who is Lin Feng?
He is the emperor's grandson-in-law and the prince's son-in-law. How could his proposal not be approved?
It’s just a process.
Ma Laifu was excited, but quickly adjusted his mentality and said: "Please don't worry, Mr. Hou, I am acting on behalf of the county magistrate for the time being, and I will continue to implement the policy of Mr. Hou without any changes. In the future of Guzang County, whether it is business, Or the establishment of granaries to stabilize grain prices, as well as the reform of dividing farmers into farmers, will be implemented to the end."
Lin Feng said: "I will wait and see."
The reason why Ma Laifu was called was actually to ask for Ma Laifu's stance. The policies of Guzang County must be followed by Xiao Gui Cao.
Everything must continue to be implemented.
Lin Feng waved his hand and said: "It's late at night, go back and do your work. Tomorrow morning, I will leave. While I am away, you will be the county magistrate and handle the government affairs of Guzang County by yourself. Huan Suzhi and Cui Yuantu have returned If there are other matters, they will stay in Guzang County for the time being. If you have any questions, you can ask them for help."
"Here!"
Ma Laifu bowed and bowed.
He left the county government office because it had already darkened, so he went straight home.
When Ma Laifu returned home, he went to the study to see Ma Teng and solemnly said: "Father, the Marquis is leaving Guzang County."
"ah!"
Ma Teng exclaimed.
Lin Feng was his benefactor to the Ma family.
Lin Feng has only been in Guzang County for a little more than half a year, why is he leaving so soon?
Ma Teng looked anxious and said, "Master Hou is leaving, what's going on?"
Seeing Ma Teng's expression, Ma Laifu comforted him and said, "Don't worry, father. It's not a bad thing, it's a good thing. With the Marquis' ability and background, he has no problem serving as an important minister in the court. The reason why he is in Guzang County is purely to promote stalls." Ding Mu’s policy. Now that everything is settled, I will naturally resign, and the Marquis is planning to let me take over as the county magistrate."
Ma Teng stood up, looking excited.
County magistrate!
This is the county magistrate!
Not long ago, the Ma family was just a small family in Guzang County, with some small land and some savings.
There is more to say, but there is none.
The Yang family in Guzang County is here, the other major families are struggling, and the Ma family is very weak.
After seeing Zhang Feng's decision, Ma Teng also changed his strategy and fully supported Lin Feng. That's why Ma Laifu went to work in the county government. In the blink of an eye, Ma Laifu became the county magistrate. Not long after that, he became the magistrate of Guzang County.
This is a meteoric rise.
Ma Teng felt happy.
He turned towards the county government office and bowed respectfully to express his gratitude.
Ma Teng said: "Laifu, now that you have become the county magistrate, you must guard against arrogance and impetuosity. Do you understand?"
Ma Laifu said: "My son understands."
Ma Teng continued: "You are in charge of a place. If you don't have any pursuits, you will have nothing. You can just muddle along. But you are still young, and you must have a great future in the future. Therefore, you must work hard."
"The key point is that now that our Ma family is prominent, people will come to ask for help."
"It is said that when you are poor in the busy city, no one cares about you, and when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives. When the Ma family rises, many relatives will inevitably come to you for work, or to seek connections with the Ma family. I will block them all from you. You must also stick to your place. Your true heart must not be corrupted by others, let alone accept bribes, etc.”
"Only in this way will you have the opportunity to take a further step. I don't ask you to be rich and powerful. If you can take a step further in the future and serve as the prefect of a county locally, that would be great. Our Ma family will be completely changed."
Ma Teng said: "For a family to rise, it requires the dedication of generations, and it also needs opportunities. Now that you have the opportunity, you must seize it."
Ma Laifu nodded and said: "My father has far-reaching vision, and my son understands. My son has an idea and wants to ask his father to take the lead in making arrangements."
Ma Teng asked: "What do you think?"
Malaifu said: "The Marquis is about to leave Guzang County. Many people in the government know it, but the people don't know it. Thousands of people in Guzang County all rely on the Marquis to live a good life."
"What the son wants to do is to ask his father to contact people from various major families and inform them of the news that the Marquis is about to leave. When the Marquis leaves tomorrow morning, everyone will gather together to see the Marquis off. This is what the Marquis deserves. . Everyone, including my Ma family, should be grateful to Mr. Marquis."
"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful."
Ma Teng burst into laughter and said quickly, "The things you mentioned are very important and should be arranged this way."
Ma Laifu said: "Thank you for your hard work, father."
"What's the hard work? Being a father isn't hard."
Ma Teng was very excited. He stopped talking to Ma Laifu, quickly changed his clothes, braved the night and left the Ma family, went to contact Zhang Feng Mansion, and then discussed the arrangements with the other families.
