Chapter 1066: The nagging Taoyuan County Governor
"Boss, have a pot of tea." A slightly hoarse voice sounded in Qin Feng's ears. Qin Feng, who was talking to the horse monkey in a low voice, raised his head, but saw Ben Kuan, who was dancing and promoting Taoyuan County, walked into the tea shed with sweat on his head. His shed was now squeezed out by countless people, and the voices of officials came faintly.
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, come and register one by one. As long as you have registered, we are responsible for taking you to Taoyuan. Don't pay a penny of travel expenses, and we will be able to eat, drink, defecate and slaughter all the way. "
Ben Kuan looked around some tea sheds with pride, but saw that they were all full, and there was only one seat left in front of Qin Feng. He walked over and bowed, "Is it okay to set up a seat, brother?"
"Please, please!" Qin Feng smiled and stretched out his hand to give in." He just heard Lord Ben's tongue and lotus flowers, he was really eloquent, but as far as I know, Taoyuan County is not as good as you said!"
Ben Kuan's face changed slightly, and he sat opposite Qin Feng, lowered his voice and said, "You are a wise man, silence, silence, isn't this also forced to do it? But I didn't lie, those promised conditions will definitely be fulfilled."
Qin Feng gave up with a smile. Seeing Ben Kuan lifting a pot of tea sent by the waiter and poured him a large bowl of it. He drank it clean in one breath, and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Ben is also the garrison of a county. If he hadn't listened to your previous speech here but met you somewhere else, he wouldn't recognize you as a member of the country?"
Ben Kuan waved his hand, "Cough, all the officials in the field are doing things for His Majesty."
"Mr. Ben's guards are all busy there. If you sit here alone, you won't be afraid that someone will do you badly. As far as I know, this Huzhuo City is still unstable now. Every day, you have been caught. Last night, several assassinations happened." Qin Feng smiled.
"It's sunny, what's so scary about this?" Ben Kuan disagreed and glanced at Qianmian and Mahou on Qin Feng's left and right sides. Both of them were tall and big guys. "You are a big merchant, no wonder you have money and your life is precious. By the way, what are you doing? Are you doing business or a workshop? If you are a workshop, our Taoyuan County is a good place. If you are willing to go there to open a workshop, I will give you a piece of land for free. How about it? Is the conditions good?"
Qin Feng laughed loudly, "The most valuable thing in Taoyuan County is the land now, right? I want to really open the workshop there, will anyone work for me?"
"Not now, there will be no more in the future. People should look forward." He pointed to the crowded shed with pride, "Look at it, it's not a crowd!"
Qin Feng curled his lips. The person in front of him was obviously a wolf with red eyes and wanted to catch anything.
"If you want to talk about Jingui, we businessmen are not as good as you officials. You are the magistrate of a county! You are a magistrate, those assassins, killing you is no more worthy than killing me."
"Then you are wrong!" Ben Kuan smiled: "Murder requires motives. I am a county magistrate from a remote place and has no influence. Why do they kill me? Do you make money? I don't have a few taels of silver in my pocket. Kill me to establish my authority. Hehe, if I don't have me in Taoyuan County, the Ming Dynasty can send someone to me immediately, and I will not do anything worse than me."
"Then you may not be able to find someone more capable than you?" Qin Fengdao. "It seems that what we lack now is an official!"
"You businessman is quite concerned about current affairs. If you talk about it before, it is indeed true, but now it is not necessarily true. The Capital University graduates one by one every year. For these people, if you want them to write articles, write poetry and lyrics, it must be a bullshit, but if you want them to be officials, that's really good." Ben Kuan smiled and said, "I have divided a few Taoyuan County today, and I can do a lot of things. Although I only have specialties in one aspect, this is enough! Our emperor is really wise enough. This way to train officials, haha, it's eye-opening."
"Then do you think it's good or bad?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.
"At present, of course, it's good." Ben Kuan said seriously: "You said I'm a person who is good at water conservancy. Well, the superior can send you one such person. I'm a person who is in charge of money, and the superior will send you another one. Ha, he can't do anything else, but he's specialized in accounting. Although they can only do one thing, he can do it well. That's not to say. His Majesty the Emperor said it well, let professionals do professional things. This is too true. Just say war, that's the general's business. If I were asked to command the battle, it would inevitably lose my troops and land, but if the general does my own thing, it would inevitably harm the country and the people. So although our Emperor, although he was born in the military, had never read any books, he was a rude man, he was directed to the essence of his work, and he did not have those pedantic hearts. Haha, this is the blessing of those of us who are only good at doing practical things!"
I haven't read any books, but I'm not an illiterate, nor a rude guy! Qin Feng was so angry that he was a little smoking. The horse monkey and Qianmian on the side lowered their heads to drink water, and endured it hard to hold back the laughter.
"If you are talking about the emperor like this behind your back, aren't you afraid that he will deal with you hard after it is heard?" Qin Feng said with a cold face.
"Our emperor is not an ordinary person." Ben Kuan slapped the table and laughed: "It is said that the prime minister is raising a boat in his stomach. Our emperor has a lot of things, so he is afraid that even more ships can be loaded in. Ma Gong once said that our emperor is a person who values real profit but is less famous. As long as you can do good things and do practical things, it is a hot commodity. On the contrary, if you can't do anything, even if you praise His Majesty the Emperor as a flower, the emperor will only spit on your face."
It’s uncomfortable to praise people. What does it mean to value real profit but lose face? I also want to save face! Qin Feng shouted in his heart, "Old Ma, I will turn around and deal with you." The Ma Gong in Ben Kuan's mouth is naturally Ma Xiangnan, the governor of Changyang County. Qin Feng felt itchy.
"I heard that the number of immigrants assigned to you by the imperial court is only 10,000. Lord Ben's approach is so much more than that. When the Qin people become big in Taoyuan County, aren't you worried that something will happen?"
"What's so scary about this!" Ben Kuan smiled indifferently: "Where is Taoyuan County? It is aligned with the front line. There are tens of thousands of troops stationed there. Do you think these Qin people can make waves? Just give me a year or two and you will be able to educate them so that they can only know how to understand and stop talking about Qin."
"So sure?"
"Of course." Ben Kuan said proudly: "All the people, who can make them eat, wear warm clothes and have a good life? Who can make trouble with their heads with nothing to do? The world is in chaos, probably because they are not full. You said I will starve to death, and I will not rebel yet? The reason why Qin State is now falling apart is that it has not done this matter well!"
"You're right." Qin Feng nodded.
"You businessman is very well-informed. Seeing that you are staying here, are you also doing a business of raising population in China? If you want to talk about this business, it is actually a disaster, but for the current Qin State, that is a good deed. Seeing that we are about to attack Qin State, we will take them to the Ming Dynasty, which will save their lives. But you can't do this in Hulao. Now Hulao is already the territory of the Ming Dynasty. If you go to the hinterland of Qin State, how many people you get and how many people I collect, how much is it? The price is easy to negotiate, and you won't suffer a loss."
Qin Feng smiled and said, "Just just having enough food and clothing, I'm afraid they can't just know how to be clear. Let's not talk about Qin anymore. After all, they have been Qin people for hundreds of years."
"There is also education!" Ben Kuan pointed a little at Qin Feng, "So you businessmen still have less books. Our Majesty had seen this a lot before. The compulsory education that is being promoted nationwide is for this. You say that those Qin people will eat rice and grain from the Ming Dynasty, read books from the Ming Dynasty, and use some small means to achieve their goals. Of course, you businessmen don't understand this. Our Minister of Rites, Lord Xiao, is doing this all day and night!"
"Shangshu Xiao?" Qin Feng was a little surprised. "He has always been stable in his work, but he has made contributions and has no mistakes. Why did he forget to eat and sleep?"
Ben Kuan smiled and said, "If you, a businessman, if you promise to get me a hundred Qin craftsmen to Taoyuan County, I will tell you a secret, but let me explain it clearly first. If you want to listen to this secret, even if these hundred craftsmen repay me, I will not pay anymore."
Qin Feng's muscles trembled for a moment. This county magistrate was really stingy! The price of a secret exchange for a hundred craftsmen is so high.
"Okay, aren't it just a hundred craftsmen?" He turned his head and glanced at Qianmian: "Didn't we get a group of craftsmen out in Danyang? Are there one hundred?"
Qianmeng's face turned a little purple. After hearing Qin Feng's words, he coughed a few times and said, "Absolutely, almost the same."
Qin Feng spread his hands: "Look, I happen to have it in my hand. Tell me, maybe you can bring these hundred craftsmen when you go back."
"Okay, very good!" Ben Kuan was overjoyed: "I like you, a businessman, refreshing, refreshing, generous, and not very particular. It seems that you are a big deal."
"Master Ben, where is your secret?" Qin Feng lowered his voice.
"Our Lord Xiao is the seed of study, everyone, and the existence that all scholars in the Ming Dynasty look forward to. Such people were offered to Emperor Yue in the Former Yue, but in the Ming Dynasty, our emperor still had to offer to him, right? People like him were nothing else, he had money and fame, what did he want the most? Fame is what he wanted."
"Just for the sake of face?" Qin Feng said in surprise.
