Qin Feng knew that the people in Changshui County were going through dire straits. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. If Changshui County was the territory of Daliang, Qin Feng would not even think about it and would just raise food directly.
But this is a "foreign country" after all. Even if Qin Feng has the ability, he must not be the first person, otherwise any mistakes may lead to huge political incidents.
Even if you must help, you must make everything clear. After all, people are at odds with each other, and there are many examples of good intentions doing bad things.
Moral help cannot satisfy Mr. Wu, and political help is almost unrealistic. There is only one way left now, which is to start with business.
Mr. Wu, with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse, asked in a deep voice: "How to operate in business?"
Qin Feng smiled and looked extremely confident: "Isn't this simple? Anyway, it's freezing cold and the people have nothing to do, so they asked the people affected by the disaster in Changshui County to have one person from each household come to the capital to work. I will provide the work and pay half a month's salary in advance so that the people can live at home, and the remaining payment will be settled when the construction period is over."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Wu looked at Qin Feng as if he were a profiteer, and couldn't help but look down upon him: "In the final analysis, you still have nothing to lose."
Qin Feng spread his hands: "It's better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. If we distribute food directly, we will inevitably be exploited by local officials. As long as these people come to work, I, Qin Feng, will be directly responsible."
"As for getting money for nothing without doing anything, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"
"I, Qin Feng, am a businessman and I am by no means a good person."
Mr. Wu sincerely looked down on profit-seeking people like Qin Feng, but considering that the people of Changshui County had no way to survive, even if they were a little hard and tired, as long as they could survive until the spring of next year, they would be of great merit.
After careful consideration, Mr. Wu finally chose to accept commercial assistance.
"How long will it take to see results? Just like the last trade agreement, I have to wait." Mr. Wu was once bitten by a snake and was afraid of ropes for ten years. After all, the only thing he could crush Qin Feng was martial arts, and other On the other hand, Mr. Wu was as immature as a child in front of Qin Feng.
In order to reassure Mr. Wu, Qin Feng said straightforwardly: "This is fast. As long as the people are willing to come, they can get paid. This matter does not depend on me, but on the people and the court."
"If the court prohibits people from going out to make money in order to estimate the impact, then it has nothing to do with me."
Mr. Wu snorted: "Don't do this! Don't think that I don't know your relationship with the princess. Whether it is the late emperor's princess or Princess Jingci, you are always fighting fiercely. The court affairs are not yours. ?”
Unexpectedly, Mr. Wu knew him so well. Qin Feng touched his nose and nodded in agreement.
Seeing Mr. Wu about to leave, Qin Feng quickly reached out to stop him, with a smile on his face: "Hey, Mr. Wu, I have helped you so much, do you have to give me some benefits?"
"As the saying goes, mutual benefit can make this relationship long-lasting."
"If Mr. Wu blindly regards this junior as his subordinate and can manipulate him as he pleases, I have nothing to do with it. It is my honor to work for Master Shan Yin, so I can't bear to swallow my brothers."
Mr. Wu's eyes were contemptuous: "Are you threatening me?"
Qin Feng quickly took a step back and raised his hands, as if he was frightened: "How dare you? Even if Mr. Wu lends me a hundred courages, I would not dare to threaten you."
"Wei Xiao's assassination skills are enough to make me sleepless, but Wei Xiao is like a child in front of Mr. Wu. If Mr. Wu is angered, I may not survive for a few days."
After hearing this, Mr. Wu's expression improved a little, and he secretly sighed that Qin Feng, a brat like him, was quite sensible.
With Wu Lao's strength, no one in the world, not even the emperors of Liang and Di, can rest easy!
But having said that, Mr. Wu also had a profound understanding of the capabilities of Qin Feng's soldiers, especially the Tianji Camp guards.
The Jinyi Guards are already strong enough, but in terms of pure combat effectiveness, they cannot be compared with the Tianji Camp guards.
If it were a head-on fight, I'm afraid...it would only take ten Tianji Camp guards to kill Mr. Wu.
After all, assassination and head-on combat are completely different things.
In addition, Qin Feng, although he is full of tricks, is impeccable in his treatment of the people.
During this time, Mr. Wu personally went to Sangzhou. After understanding the local people's livelihood, Mr. Wu realized that the domestic propaganda about Sangzhou was almost telling lies with his eyes closed.
Since Sangzhou fell into Qin Feng's hands, life has been better than before.
And I heard...Qin Feng also promulgated laws specifically targeting Sangzhou and the northern border of Liang State.
It is not a hypocritical "severe punishment for those who harm the people", but fundamentally, it prevents the military from having private contact with the people.
Without the permission of Li Zhang, Xu Mo and others, anyone below the rank of gatekeeper is strictly prohibited from contacting the people. Anyone who disobeys the order will be punished by plundering the people's property.
As the saying goes, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below. As long as soldiers can contact the people, no matter how strict the law is, they will still plunder and oppress the people in various ways.
The fact that Qin Feng was able to realize this and issue a decree is enough to prove that Qin Feng's kindness to the people is not just to gain fame, but to actually make decisions for the people.
This aspect won Mr. Wu’s heart.
Mr. Wu doesn't care who is in power, he only cares about whether the people are living well. As the saying goes, a great hero serves the country and the people.
Although Mr. Wu's face is still cold, the hostility towards Qin Feng in his heart has gradually dissipated: "Tell me, what do you want me to do for you first?"
"Kill who?"
Qin Feng smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Wu misunderstood. Although the Eagle Party in your country has been disbanded, those far-right officials are still hostile to me. As the saying goes, it doesn't freeze three feet in a day. I will never I hope that killing a few of the leaders will dispel this resentment."
"Besides, the trade agreement between the two countries has been negotiated. By the spring of next year, everything will be on track. Naturally, we cannot create extraneous problems at this time."
"Junior just admires Mr. Wu's martial arts. If Mr. Wu is willing to be an instructor for the guards of Tianji camp and teach them some knowledge, I will be grateful."
Knowing Qin Feng's intention, Mr. Wu couldn't help but laugh: "I have already made a vow not to open the door to accept disciples, so just give up on this."
Qin Feng was naturally stubborn: "If you don't serve tea, kneel down, or kowtow, doesn't it count as a disciple?"
Mr. Wu was stunned and sighed in his heart, how could there be such a shameless person in the world?
After a moment of silence, Mr. Wu couldn't help but sneer: "The fighting power of the Tianji camp guards is already strong enough. How much stronger do you want them to be?"
