This is still Xiao Xiangxiang. It is the first time that she has been separated from Qin Feng for so long, and she feels somewhat empty in her heart.
Now that we finally meet again, I naturally want to stay with Qin Feng for a few more days.
But when Xiao Xiangxiang asked what was in her heart, she felt regretful.
After all, the young master is someone who wants to achieve great things. How can I, a slave, become a stumbling block for the young master?
Qin Feng didn't think much and blurted out: "I won't leave for a while."
When Qin Feng leaves Beixi County depends on when the national war ends, and according to Qin Feng's guess, although Beidi suffered heavy losses in this battle, there will never be a truce, and a comeback is only a matter of time.
Although Daliang and Beidi have similar overall strength, in terms of internal environment, they are far inferior to Beidi.
In addition to dealing with the pressure of the frontal battlefield, they also have to check and balance the various powerful forces within the territory. As a result, many soldiers and horses cannot be mobilized.
The southern forces listened to the imperial edict but not to the propaganda, and could not be adjusted at all.
The Central Plains Imperial Party is used to prevent emergencies. If it is transferred to the north, it will be troublesome if the southern forces take the opportunity to move north.
Therefore, Beidi's materials could not withstand consumption, and Daliang's manpower could not sustain itself. Each had its own difficulties.
The joy of the great victory in the north will never last long, and the remaining war will still be a fierce battle.
How could Xiao Xiangxiang know so much? She only knew that she could be with the young master for a long time, and this alone was enough to make her happy.
Not long after Qin Feng and Xiao Xiangxiang became warm, Li Zhang came and asked Qin Feng to attend the celebration banquet.
Although Qin Feng didn't like making noise, and even scorned activities like the celebration banquet, he still had to do enough on the scene. After all, the celebration banquet was conducive to improving the morale of the defenders.
However, before attending the celebration banquet, Qin Feng was more concerned about the situation in Beixi County.
Although the Jinyiwei messenger will inform Qin Feng about the development of Beixi County every now and then, after all, what can be written in the letter is too limited. Now that he is here, he will take the opportunity to find out.
Qin Feng immediately took Li Zhang to the Yamen to look for Lin Quqi.
Previously at the Chengmen Tower, due to the sudden war situation, I had no time to greet Lin Quqi.
Now that they met again, Qin Feng couldn't help but feel sad. The handsome young master now seemed to be more than ten years older, and his condition was not as good as before.
Managing people's livelihood requires the most energy.
Seeing Qin Feng coming, Lin Quqi hurriedly greeted him with a very excited expression: "Brother Qin, you have achieved success in one fell swoop this time and become a blockbuster.
"This battle will soon spread throughout the entire Daliang, and the whole country will definitely be rejoicing. I think back on the fact that since the founding of Daliang, we have fought countless battles with Beidi, but we have lost more than we have won, and we have suffered losses many times.
"Now, you have made us, the people of Daliang, feel proud and proud. You are truly a hero in this world."
Qin Feng was a little embarrassed to be praised by Lin Quqi.
Moreover, Qin Feng's investment in Beixi County and his attention to this war, in general, divided three parts for the country and seven parts for himself.
After all, as a citizen of Daliang, if Daliang is strong, he can make a small amount of money with peace of mind and enjoy the popular food.
Qin Feng said nothing and gave Lin Quqi a bear hug.
Lin Quqi was flattered by this hug and was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses.
"Brother Qin, why is this?"
Qin Feng still didn't answer. He bowed in salute, bowed deeply to Lin Quqi, and said solemnly: "Brother Lin, if you hadn't been in charge, Beixi County would never be as prosperous as it is today. I am a lazy, greedy and slippery person. I am concentrating on managing people's livelihood here, which is more uncomfortable than killing me. Without Brother Lin, there would never be me, Qin Feng."
As he spoke, Qin Feng saluted Lin Quqi again.
Lin Quqi was caught off guard. Although he was somewhat famous in Jiangnan, he was still a scholar in the final analysis. Since he was studying to establish a career, it was natural for him to gain fame.
Now he skipped the imperial examination and directly became the magistrate of Beixi County. For Lin Quqi, this can be regarded as useful learning.
Lin Quqi quickly returned the favor and said, "Brother Qin is serious, these are all things I should do. No matter how well I govern Beixi County, it will still be the power of a county. You are the leader." .”
Li Zhang, who was on the side, saw the two people saluting each other and refusing each other, and couldn't help but ridicule them.
"Since neither of you are willing to take the credit, I will reluctantly accept it, hahaha."
After being teased by Li Zhang, the business exchanges between Qin Feng and Lin Quqi came to an end.
When it comes to the current situation in Beixi County, Lin Quqi has many treasures.
"The expansion of Beixi County has been completed. If the current population is maintained, there will be no need to break ground for at least a hundred years. In addition, under the leadership of Lu Ming and Second Miss, Tianji Camp has taken root in Beixi County, both in terms of scale and productivity. It’s even worse than when I was in Kyoto.”
"However, at the suggestion of the eldest lady, Tianji Camp has been divided into two parts. One side only produces people's livelihood commodities, and the other side only produces weapons and supplies."
"Today, the total population of Beixi County is about 35,000, including more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and more than 20,000 civilians. Since our Beixi County is martial and wars have continued since its expansion, the economic development has been slightly slow. At the moment, in accordance with Brother Qin's instructions, we are temporarily implementing a planned economy and a distribution and supply system. When the national war ends in the future, we will open up the market and transform it from public to private."
"Most of the people in the city serve various military facilities. Due to the spread of the war, it is impossible to cultivate fields. Currently, the plantations set up in Beixi County use planting boxes and water tanks. The food produced is only enough for the city to consume. 00%. The other 90% still needs to be transported from the outside world, but because we are in the middle of a war, the food stored in the city can last for at least two years, so there will be no worries in the short term."
Seeing that Lin Quqi had managed Beixi County in an orderly manner and everything was prosperous, Qin Feng couldn't be more grateful.
If Qin Feng, the hands-off boss, was really relied on to govern Beixi County, I am afraid that Beixi County would have been turned into a fortress long ago, and all management would be militarized, not for fighting, but simply to save trouble.
Qin Feng immediately asked what he was most concerned about: "Where's the money?"
Lin Quqi seemed to have expected that Qin Feng would mention money, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, showing a bit of pride: "Under the management of the second lady, the candy industry is booming and has covered the entire beam. Now the candy shop works day and night.
“In addition, we have also gained a lot from distant trade.
“Although the trade routes were blocked due to the war, the cattle, sheep, medicinal materials and other commodities previously exchanged from Gaoshan Country have been sold and discounted.
"In addition, all the foreign countries that vassalized Beidi seem to be interested in doing business with our Beixi County. After all, Beidi's industry is low and there is no time to take care of itself, so how can we deliver supplies to the vassal state?
"Today, there are two money treasury in Beixi County. One of them is the Beixi County government treasury, with a total of 123,000 taels of silver."
