Chapter 602: Military and Political Meeting
In the past eight years, Shen Wansan had seen too many servants who were unwilling to remain the subordinates and disappeared without a trace beside him, leaving no trace of their bodies alive or dead.
A family like the Qin family is really terrible. Shen Wansan knows that he is nothing more than an ant in the eyes of the family's senior leaders, and if he wants to live, he must be loyal or he will die, so even though he is in a high position now, he still does not dare to have ambitions.
Qin Hao didn't know much about the family's methods of controlling subordinates. After all, he only came up with ideas. He was not involved in the initial stage and was not exposed to the darkness and bloodshed.
If Qin Hao had known about the family's methods, he probably wouldn't have deliberately beaten Shen Wansan here, because this was completely unnecessary. Shen Wansan was very well-behaved and had no ambition at all.
After hearing what Shen Wansan said, Qin Hao seemed to have heard nothing, and asked with a playful look on his face: "So, you are willing to be a steward for the rest of your life? Be a slave of my Qin family for the rest of your life?"
Qin Hao's words were intended to sound unpleasant. Anyone with a little self-respect would be humiliated. But Shen Wansan not only didn't feel it at all, but said without hesitation: "Yes."
He thought that his show of loyalty would make the young master lose his guard against him, but he didn't expect that he would be scolded in return.
"Trash." Qin Hao said coldly.
Shen Wansan lay on the ground, not daring to take a breath or say another word.
Because he knew that if he said the wrong thing, he would definitely die, so it was better not to say anything.
"If you don't have such ambition, you can only be a steward for the rest of your life. What use do I need from you?"
Shen Wansan smiled bitterly in his heart. Ambition was poison to him. Once it happened, there was no other way to survive except death.
Qin Hao didn't know what methods his mother used to train Shen Wansan to be so obedient without even a hint of temper?
Of course, Qin Hao wanted such a loyal servant, so he calmed down his temptation.
"Get up." Qin Hao said softly.
Shen Wansan did not dare to get up and remained lying on the ground. Seeing this, Qin Hao shouted: "I'll let you get up."
Shen Wansan shuddered and quickly got up.
Seeing this, Qin Hao smiled lightly and said: "It is true that the family cannot give you more, but I can. As long as you work for me loyally, it is not a bad idea to become an official."
Looking at the young master's handsome smile, Shen Wansan felt that it was a devil's smile, but Qin Hao still said to himself: "When the time comes, you can leave the Qin family and build your own family, without having to be a slave for the rest of your life... "
Shen Wansan didn't dare to think about this, but he couldn't help but accept the young master's words, so he could only show a smile that was uglier than crying and said, "Thank you, young master, for your cultivation."
After saying that, Shen Wansan burst into tears. He felt that he was dead.
Seeing this, Qin Hao was speechless and said, "Why are you crying? As long as you serve me faithfully, it's not a bad idea to become a marquis in the future."
Qin Hao patted Shen Wansan on the shoulder and encouraged: "Do it well, follow the young master and you will have meat to eat."
Shen Wansan kept thanking her on the outside, but in his heart he was shouting, Mistress, please let Wansan return to Yanmen, the young master is more terrifying than you.

The next day, there was a military and political meeting in Nanyang, and the county magistrates also returned early to report on their duties.
At the beginning of the meeting, Wang Xizhi and other county magistrates spoke enthusiastically and reported to Qin Hao on the recent governance.
Those selected by Qin Haohe are all outstanding figures of the time. They are naturally chosen to govern a small county. The only difference is who has greater achievements.
After listening to the report from his subordinates, Qin Hao said in his heart: Sure enough.
Among the county magistrates, Qu Yuan, Wen Tianxiang, and Wang Anshi had the best governance results.
If nothing else happens, the three of them will be the candidates for the vacancies in the three counties in the northern five counties.
Although the results of the counties governed by Zhang Jiuling, Xin Qiji, Wang Xizhi, Wang Kuang and others were not low, there was still a gap between them and the three above.
As for the other county magistrates, they all have excellent political achievements. The summary of Nanyang's political achievements next year must be: great governance!
Under Qin Hao's rule, the better the governance of Nanyang, the more problems can be solved.
Putting aside some minor issues, there are only two biggest problems: Jianghu and aristocratic families.
These two issues were mentioned by all county magistrates. Among them, the Jianghu problem has been solved by Qin Hao, but the impact of the return of the family is still plaguing 36 counties in Nanyang.
Later in the meeting, after the county magistrates had finished their speeches, Xun Yu stood up and made worried remarks, saying:
"My lord, the thirty-six counties of Nanyang are already under the control of our army, but with the continuous return of families fleeing from various counties, our army's control of Nanyang is gradually weakening."
Qin Hao sighed slightly when he heard this. This was also caused by insufficient military strength.
Qin Hao only has nearly 20,000 elite soldiers in his hands, but if he had 100,000 powerful soldiers in his hands, these aristocratic families would definitely hide obediently and not dare to show their teeth.
Qin Hao continued to listen patiently to Xun Yu's advice, and after Xun Yu, it was Han Fei's turn.
"My lord, after these aristocratic families returned, they all wanted to take back the land that belonged to them, and even forcibly seized the land that had been distributed to the people. Now the conflicts with the people are getting bigger and bigger, and the thresholds of all counties and counties are about to be sued. The common people were trampled to pieces."
Since Zi Nu came to Nanyang, Han Fei was as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood. He seemed to be a different person every day, and he was no longer as lazy as before.
Thinking of the recent actions of the Nanyang family, Han Fei couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart, and cursed in his heart: These worms, you will never let Nanyang's achievements be destroyed!
"My lord, the problem of aristocratic families has to be solved. I believe that my lord's attitude must be tough when dealing with these aristocratic families."
Han Fei said with a serious face: "Otherwise, the aristocratic family will think that the lord is weak, and will continue to push forward."
"No."
Wang Anshi stood up and retorted: "Nowadays, Nanyang is full of waste and is waiting to be revitalized. It is not a good time for the aristocratic family to have conflicts. I suggest that the main thing is to appease the lord."
Wang Anshi came from the Wang family in Taiyuan and knew how powerful the family was. Since Wang Yun asked him to assist Qin Hao, he couldn't watch Qin Hao completely oppose the family.
"appease?"
Zhang Jiuling showed disdain and said lightly: "I'm just afraid that they won't accept my lord's kindness!"
All the ministers were speechless, and there was a period of silence.
Seeing this, Qin Hao also frowned. He had long known that the fleeing family would return, but he didn't expect it to come back so soon.
Before Xiang Yu massacred the Nanyang family, nearly half of the family fled into Guanzhong in advance, thus escaping the fate of being massacred.
Now Nanyang, under the rule of Qin Hao, is surrounded by the Han Dynasty and is being governed with prosperity, so they will naturally come back.
