Tian Hailong is not a fool. Although he leaves the people's livelihood and government affairs to Chu Qing, he will follow him and observe openly, trying to understand the intentions of these Changjing guys. If there are any problems, he can step in and take them back at any time. " right".
Tian Hailong was still a little hesitant at first, but having learned the details of Chu Qing and others from the side, he was still willing to take the initiative to let go of this "power".
He didn't believe that Chu Qing brought the prince, a lot of money, and a group of merchants to the border just because he had no qualifications.
After meeting the real master Chu Qing, Tian Hailong was very energetic.
He knew that it was time to "negotiate" next. He represented the border army and the interests of the border army. Therefore, he wanted to know what Chu Qing represented, what was the purpose of coming to the border, and whether he was really prepared to change the border. The current situation of the army and the fulfillment of the worthless promise made by the two princes back then.
Changxian and Nangongping quickly fetched the food and put it on the table.
Chu Qing picked up the chopsticks and looked at Tian Hailong happily: "Sit down, don't be so polite."
"Thank you, sir."
"have you eaten?"
Tian Hailong swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Eat."
He didn’t eat, he definitely didn’t eat. Not only he didn’t eat, but he also hadn’t slept. Ever since Chu Qing arrived at Wangyuan City, he hadn’t even drank a sip of water. He went from Wangyuan City to Xiaoqi Camp, and from Xiaoqi Camp back to Wangyuan City. , without resting for a moment.
"You just said, Marshal Ma, to hand over Wangyuan City to me?"
Chu Qing took a bite of naan bread, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, Marshal Ma knows that your Excellency is the Superintendent of Ordnance. Since he is in charge of food, grass and ordnance, he must be familiar with the management of people's livelihood."
Chu Qing smiled slightly and said nothing.
He felt that there were only two reasons why Ma Rujing could hand over Wangyuan City to him, either because he had an overall view or because he had cerebral thrombosis.
Seemingly drinking porridge, Chu Qing felt wary.
If the border army was well-informed and knew who Chu Qing was, Feng Shuai would not have written so many "letters of recommendation", and Ma Rujing would not have wanted to give himself a blow yesterday.
This means that the border army has very little information about Chu Qing and Qianqiying.
Since he didn't know Chu Qing, and he entrusted Wangyuan City to him to manage, it must be cerebral thrombosis.
But if Ma Rujing had cerebral thrombosis, he would not be able to become the commander-in-chief of the frontier army.
Logically speaking, the Border Marshal has no right to appoint other people to take charge of Wangyuan City, but this is the Border Pass, and the Marshal is the top chief executive of these towns in the Border Pass. Although this is not the case in name, it is actually like this, otherwise it is not. A fifth-grade guerrilla general will not be allowed to be the "prefect of the state".
Tian Hailong, a guerrilla general, is a native of the border area and is familiar with the local conditions, so there is nothing wrong with him.
But Chu Qing is only a weapons supervisor in name, and has nothing to do with people's livelihood. He is regarded as the logistics manager of the border army. He is not related in name or in practice, because he is not a local aboriginal and does not understand the local situation at all.
What's the difference between this and the White House inviting the owner of Shijiazhuang Village to go to Washington to govern the United States? Besides, the owner of Shijiazhuang Village doesn't have that time, and it's troublesome to commute to and from get off work.
So just think about it, if you don’t think about the overall situation or have a cerebral thrombosis, why do you let yourself take charge of Wangyuan City?
Chu Qing put down the bowl and smiled: "Okay, thank you Ma Shuai for trusting me."
Tian Hailong's expression changed slightly.
As expected, Master Chu had a "no small" purpose, and he took over easily.
Turning his head, Chu Qing, who was still a little awake, yawned and snapped his fingers at Tao Weiran.
After Fatty Tao came, Chu Qing smiled and said, "From now on, you will be the magistrate of Wangyuan City."
"Okay." Tao Weiran responded nonchalantly and continued to find Fu San to send Nuan Nuan to lose money.
Fatty Tao was a little angry. He squatted there and shouted to Fu San: "Can you fucking win faster? With your hard work, you can't catch up with the money my Tao family makes in one day in a month." .”
Fu San scolded his mother, it was the first time that he was so upset when he won money, a thousand guan at a time, he couldn't win all at all!
"What your lord means..." Tian Hailong frowned: "Let him be in charge of Wangyuan City's government affairs, is it not you?"
"Yes, I have more important things to do."
"May I ask, sir, what is the matter?"
"I didn't expect it at the moment."
Tian Hailong couldn't hold back his anger again. He always felt that Chu Qing and everyone around Chu Qing were playing tricks on him.
"I dare to ask, sir." Tian Hailong pointed at Tao Weiran who was squatting on the ground: "What is this person's official position and his last name?"
"Tao Weiran, former magistrate of Xiao County, Changjingxia County."
"Just a mere county magistrate?"
Chu Qing's smile grew stronger: "Why do you think a small county magistrate can't govern your Wangyuan City?"
"yes."
"We'll see how it goes?"
"No." Tian Hailong shook his head, with a solemn look on his face: "Wangyuan City is the hard work of the border army. I don't dare to let you mess with it at will."
"Didn't you just say that Marshal Ma gave me the power to know the state?"
"It's true, but I didn't say it would be handed over to a small county magistrate."
Fu San lost and started to play psychological tactics. He looked at Tao Weiran and said cheerfully: "That guy said you are small, small, Tao Weiran is small."
Tao Weiran: "..."
"It won't work anyway." Tian Hailong thought Chu Qing was too childish and shook his head repeatedly.
Tao Weiran stood up and came behind Chu Qing, with his hands in his sleeves: "How about making a bet, one million dollars."
"A million strings?"
"Open your mouth and you'll get a million punches." Tian Hailong's face was full of sarcasm: "Who do you think you are? Are you the richest Fu family in Weijiang, the Nangong family of the prime minister in Beijing, or the Tao family of the East China Sea merchant family? You are not afraid of being blown away. It breaks the sky, you are not ashamed to speak so loudly."
Several people looked over with strange eyes, including Nangong Ping, Fu Baobao and Fu Yongkang.
It has to be said that although the border army has little information, Tian Hailong still has this knowledge.
The poorer the person, the more he likes to know information about the rich. He doesn't know anything else, but he knows the richest people in the Chang Dynasty very well.
Tao Weiran didn't care and was happy.
"How about this, first leave the south of Wangyuan City, which is a mixed bag of people and the poorest, to me to take care of?"
"Most of the people in the south of the city are relatives of soldiers. Do you have this ability?"
"Whether or not, it's not up to you to decide."
"Joke." Tian Hailong was not fooled, and sneered: "Even if you say it today, I will not agree."
Looking at Chu Qing, Tian Hailong shook his head and said: "I hope your Excellency will think twice. If Your Majesty is in charge, I will have nothing to do with the lower officials. But if it is someone else, even if the general nods, Commander Ma will not agree."
Tao Weiran smiled and said: "Sir, you see, I said last night that these troops are like stones in the pit, smelly and hard."
"Okay." Chu Qing sighed: "Then we can only use strong ones."
"Strong?" Tian Hailong's complexion changed slightly, and all the muscles in his body tightened.
Tao Weiran shouted to Tan Ma outside: "Have you bought it back?"
"What's the rush? I just went there in the morning."
"what are you looking for?"
"Land, house, shop..."
Before Tao Weiran finished speaking, a man walked in, carrying two large bundles filled with contracts: "I'm back. I'm back. Ninety percent of the land in the south of the city has been bought. Only a hundred or so households are unwilling to sell. I guess You have to sit down and raise the price."
Tian Hailong took a breath of cold air: "You guys put Chengnan..."
Chu Qing shrugged: "Yes, if you have money, you can do whatever you want."
