Ning Hu's words directly pointed out the difficulty of rebelling. As soldiers, the most taboo thing is to be a traitor. Even if Lu Ci and Li Zhou serve Qin Feng wholeheartedly, they will still be jealous of everyone around Qin Feng.
After all...these two people have criminal records.
Once stained, it is not that easy to clean it off.
Qin Feng did not rush to respond to Ning Hu, but looked at Liu Ming: "What do you think?"
Liu Ming lowered his head thoughtfully, and after a moment, he began to analyze softly.
"My subordinates dare to make false claims. Whether the two of them are loyal or not, actually... it doesn't matter. If they stay on their own terms and let them return to their hometowns with honors when things become big, they can get rid of them at any time if they are looking for death."
After hearing Liu Ming's analysis, Qin Feng was quite satisfied. The look in Ning Hu's eyes revealed that he hated iron for not being able to make steel.
"Little Marquis, please learn more. The way of employing people is never black and white."
"Right now, except for Lu Ci and Li Zhao, we don't have any better candidates. Even if we have doubts, we can only use them temporarily."
"Besides, these two are only good at military affairs, not internal affairs."
"In other words, their only value is to capture the city and capture the territory. The territory captured will be managed by our own confidants in the north. Even if these two people are gone, it will not have much impact on the overall situation."
Ning Hu knew very well that every step of Qin Feng's arrangements had hidden meanings, but the deeper he got in touch with him, the more he felt that Qin Feng was too terrifying.
Before doing anything, Qin Feng budgeted for all possible scenarios.
What kind of foresight is this, and what kind of overall view is this?
Ning Hu secretly sighed in his heart, he was afraid that he would never be able to match him in this life.
"Compared to Sangzhou, Zhuozhou has stronger overall strength and is more deeply influenced by King Beidi. It will be a fierce battle to win Zhuozhou."
Ning Hu sincerely lamented that after following Qin Feng for so long, the most important thing he learned was to never underestimate the enemy.
Qin Feng laughed: "Little Marquis, don't you think that I really want to conquer Zhuozhou?"
As soon as these words came out, Ning Hu was stunned. The way he looked at Qin Feng changed again and again: "What do you mean by this? We have invested so much manpower and material resources in Zhuozhou. Is it possible that it is all acting? Then Isn’t this a little too much money?”
Qin Feng smiled even more: "Is it big? I don't think so!"
"If we don't attack Zhuozhou with all our strength, the battlefield will be transferred to Sangzhou. In this case, all the hard work we invested in the early stage may be lost with the war."
"Before we manage Sangzhou to the extreme and completely become our territory, we must set the stage so that everyone can believe that our goal is a more prosperous Zhuozhou."
"As for Beidi, if they are in a desperate situation, they must come to negotiate with us. When the time comes, they can use offense as defense. On the surface, they will make a fuss in Zhuozhou, but in fact, they will completely occupy Sangzhou. This is the broken window effect. Directly attack Sangzhou and Beidi. If you don’t agree, you will only fall into endless flames of war.”
"If we seize Sangzhou and Zhuozhou in one fell swoop, Beidi will have to choose the lesser of two evils and exchange Sangzhou for Zhuozhou."
"I want to open the window, but the landlord won't let me open, so I might as well knock down the house, but the landlord shamelessly begs to open the window and keep the house."
Ning Hu had a big mouth and looked at Qin Feng as if he were looking at a monster.
Even Liu Ming was secretly frightened. Qin Feng's age and the city were simply not proportional. What a cunning man he was.
Qin Feng's goal is very clear. As the saying goes, it is easier to conquer a country than to defend it.
The bigger the territory, the better. As long as the two lands of Daliang North and Beidi Sangzhou are firmly in his hands, Qin Feng will be satisfied.
The area of these two pieces of land is large enough, but not too large. It can meet the self-sufficiency of manpower and material resources without having to invest a lot of energy in defense.
The most critical point is that these two pieces of land occupy the core trade hubs of the surrounding countries.
To put it bluntly, any country that wants to trade in the future will have to go through Qin Feng. Otherwise, it will have to go a long way and increase costs, thereby weakening the competitiveness of goods.
Qin Feng not only wants to be the king of the north, but also the richest man in the world!
The northern border and Sangzhou are the starting point of Qin Feng's fortune!
After confirming that both Guoguo and Sangzhou were proceeding in an orderly manner according to their own plans, Qin Feng felt reassured.
However, we still have to continue digging!
People are under the eaves, which means that they can't help themselves, and only by being careful can they make a thousand-year boat.
After Ning Hu and Liu Ming left, Qin Feng lay comfortably on the bed and started planning the liquor business.
Now the sample wine has been delivered, which basically meets Qin Feng's psychological expectations.
As for Xie Yun'er, following Qin Feng's instructions, he had begun to increase brewing production, and the trade channels had begun to take shape.
It can be said that everything is ready, all we need is the east wind.
Qin Feng didn't want to just put the liquor on the market and sell it slowly. This would be too slow to produce results. He needed to make a hit, open up the market directly, and embrace huge profits.
To make a hit, hype and publicity are indispensable.
At this time, Jing Ci needs to take action.
Qin Feng immediately sent someone to send a message to Jing Ci, entrusting Jing Ci to hold a wine tasting conference. After all, this is the capital of Beidi. Qin Feng is not easy to talk to. Guests are welcome to do whatever they want. Jing Ci is needed for everything. The host acts as the middleman.
Jing Ci, who had nothing to do and was strolling around the harem, looked at the gloomy sky and couldn't help but sigh.
"Look at the weather, I guess there will be a heavy snowfall soon."
In previous years, Jingci looked forward to the snow the most. After all, the white snow and the white snow were so beautiful. But this year, the situation was different. She kept praying to God in her heart, hoping that the first snow would come later, and later.
The people who have experienced the baptism of war have already been unable to make ends meet, and the food and firewood used for winter are much tighter than in previous years.
When a heavy snow falls, how many people will freeze to death and starve to death?
Every time he thought of this, Jing Ci felt extremely uncomfortable.
Just as Jing Ci was lamenting, Qiya came over and said, "Your Highness, the Marquis of Qin has sent someone with a message."
Qiya pretended to be calm, but she felt guilty. Ever since she secretly reached an agreement with Qin Feng, she felt sorry for Jing Ci. Every time she faced Jing Ci, she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
She secretly swore that when everything was settled, she would find an unoccupied corner and hit her head first to death.
Jing Ci has never questioned Qi Ya. Although on the surface it is a master-servant relationship, in fact, in Jing Ci's heart, she has already treated Qi Ya as her younger sister.
Therefore, I didn't notice anything wrong with Qiya.
"What is Qin Feng up to again?" Jing Ci couldn't help but muttered as he took the handwritten letter.
After opening the handwritten letter and learning about the wine tasting conference, Jing Ci couldn't help but snorted: "Why does this guy have so many strange thoughts all day long?!"
