Chapter 288: Dialogue (Part 2)
Listening to Qin Feng's words, Old Master Liu nodded slightly and first developed his strength under the banner of Yue. For Qin Feng now, it is undoubtedly the wisest choice. This will avoid making enemies everywhere and will be more likely to be supported by ordinary people. You must know that Yue has ruled on this land for hundreds of years, and the orthodox concept has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of ordinary people.
From Qin Feng’s words, it was to take the name of the soldiers of Shayang County, first aiming at the rebellious Changyang County, defeating Moro, and swallowing Changyang County in one go. Changyang County is indeed poor, but it has a large number of people, and the mountains and steep mountains are everywhere. With Changyang County, Qin Feng has a greater strategic maneuver space, unlike Shayang County, where most of the land is plain, easy to attack and difficult to defend.
As long as Qin Feng does this, in a short period of time, at least the Yue court welcomes the rise of such a force. Molo's approach is too destructive and no one will like it.
"General Qin, do you know the history of Shayang County?" Old Master Liu suddenly asked.
Qin Feng smiled, "Old man, are you trying to ask, if Shayang County is handed over to me, how can we guarantee the interests of the big family led by Liu?"
"No," Mr. Liu nodded and said, "Shayang County has been led by a large family led by the Liu family for hundreds of years. Now the world has changed drastically. I also know that many things will definitely not work according to the past arrangement, but I am bluntly speaking, if you cannot guarantee the interests of several large families, you may not be able to move forward in Shayang County."
"I understand." Qin Feng nodded and said, "To be honest, Qin is very confident in governing the army, training the army, and fighting. However, although he cannot be said to know nothing about governing people's livelihood, he really doesn't know much. The new Shayang County must walk with two legs, military to the outside and civil affairs to the inside."
"What do you mean is that the civil affairs will still be handed over to the original system of Shayang County?"
"Of course. Shayang County under the rule of Mr. Liu has always been rich, so I will not destroy it naturally." Qin Feng smiled and said, "Now, in addition to the five great masters of Liu, Huang, Chen, Tianfang, Shayang County, there is no Hao family. I think there can be more one more family. What does the old man think?"
Old Master Liu pondered and said, "What do you mean, Wang Hou?"
"Yes, Wang Hou was originally from Shayang County and had an intersection with the old man. Should he be satisfied with the old man like this? I want to transfer Wang Hou to Shayang County." Qin Feng said.
"But the magistrate of Quan Yun Quan has been in Shayang County for several years and has achieved remarkable political achievements. He has rich experience in managing people's livelihood. Although Wang Hou is good, he has only been a famous criminal master in Feng County before and asked him to replace Quan Yun. This is not reasonable and it is not appropriate!" Old Master Liu shook his head slightly.
"No, no, I didn't let him replace the governor of Quan!" Qin Feng smiled and said, "What I mean is, how about transferring Wang Hou to Shayang County City to serve as a deputy to governor of Quan? In charge of money, grain, wealth, Wang Houke has also been in business for decades and is not unfamiliar with these things."
Old Master Liu knew in his heart that Qin Feng really wanted to seize the power of Shayang County, which was nothing more than three years of life, personnel, financial resources, and military. He had promised to basically remain unchanged in the original system, but it was inevitable that he would mix sand into his own people, and seizing the power of wealth was definitely what Qin Feng was determined to win.
If Qin Feng wanted to build a powerful army, he could not do without strong financial support. Just look at his army's equipment and you can understand that his Taiping Army's equipment is almost comparable to the Hu Ben Army in Yuejing. This is still the case when he was so poor that he chose this person. However, Wang Hou was a local from Shayang County, but also a person who had intersections with several major families. Moreover, Wang Hou was sleek and easy to get along with. It would be nice to have such a person lubricate between the original power of Shayang and Qin Feng.
"Okay, I agree with this matter." Old Master Liu nodded. "General Qin, the main task of the county magistrate is to restore people's livelihood, and you must be the leader in the army. Since Shayang County has been handed over to you, you must establish an army that is unified. What are you going to deal with the Taiping Army and the county soldiers now?"
Since you mix sand into Minzhi, I can naturally reach out to the army, exchange interests and check and balance each other, which has always been the case.
"This is natural. Without an army that is unified, how can we survive the war in the future and become stronger?" Qin Feng nodded and said, "In advance, I plan to establish an army of 10,000 people and divide it into four battalions. Now my command can stand alone. Except for Zhang Xiaozheng, Gan Wei, and Zou Ming, no one can control one battalion alone. For the remaining battalion, the remaining battalion must be recommended by Mr. Liu."
The first battalion of troops and one-quarter of the military power was not bad for Mr. Liu. "Okay, then I recommend Chen Jialuo, the head of the Chen family, to serve as the leader of the Chen family."
Qin Feng was very surprised. He originally thought that Old Master Liu would definitely recommend his son Liu Xingwen.
"Why is it not General Liu Xingwen?" he asked with great interest.
Old Master Liu laughed: "General Qin, this is the little selfishness of the young man. In the future, no matter which battalion is the general, they will definitely fight and fight to death for the sake of living space. The young man has only such a son, and he doesn't want him to take risks. Whether Chen Jialuo is in charge of the army or leading troops in war, he is not inferior to the young man. I am relieved to take this battalion, and I will never miss the general's major affairs. Moreover, I think the general has already seen that the old man's body can't last long, and someone needs to take charge of the Chen family's large business."
Qin Feng nodded slightly: "As a level 9 master, Qin feels your breath. After the battle with Moro, he keeps falling. What is this? You are not injured?"
"The young old man has indeed crossed the threshold of level 9, but he has only crossed it. It is not comparable to General Qin's young talent. He has made great achievements at a young age. It is almost a foregone conclusion to become a master in the future." Old Master Liu looked at Qin Feng with emotion, with jealousy in his eyes: "If you compare people, you will be angry. The young old man has limited qualifications. When Moluo came in, in order to fight against him, I had no choice but to take a secret medicine, which can stimulate people's great potential in a short period of time, but his side effects are also extremely powerful. The young old man will live long."
"So that's it!" Qin Feng was slightly surprised. Although Shayang County has basically fallen into his hands now, people like Mr. Liu who are very wise and powerful and support him strongly will naturally live as long as possible. After pondering, he said: "I have actually encountered this kind of symptoms of Mr. Liu before, but that person did not have such a strong reaction. I think it is because the old man is old and has insufficient recovery ability to be young, so there will be such harm. If the old man believes in Qin, in Taiping City, there is a person with extremely powerful medical skills that is Qin's friend, or he cannot restore his cultivation, but it is not difficult to save the old man's life."
"Can someone really cure the young man's injury?" Old Master Liu couldn't help but be happy. No one is greedy for life. Even if Old Master Liu is in his early seventies, he still cannot avoid the common people. With Qin Feng's identity, he naturally would not talk randomly. Since he said that, he would definitely not be able to leave.
"Of course, when this happens, the old man goes to Taiping City to live for a while and then he will know that Qin is right. But the old man is old and his cultivation level may not be able to be maintained." Qin Feng said with a smile.
"The young man is 70 years old and doesn't care whether he has or does not have the cultivation level. As long as he can enjoy his old age, he will be fine." Old Master Liu was in a good mood. "When the matter came to an end, I went to Taiping City. I heard Liu Bao say that the scenery there is beautiful, and I think it must be a good place to enjoy my old age."
"The mountains and rivers are beautiful." Qin Feng smiled and said, "Since the old man does not allow General Liu Xingwen to take charge of the army, I cannot let General Liu have nowhere to display his skills. Let the responsibility of garrison in Shayang County be handed over to General Liu Xingwen!"
Old Master Liu was willing to go to Taiping City, so Qin Feng simply generously handed over the garrison of Shayang County to Liu Xingwen, which was also a kind of exchange. In the future, his focus would definitely be moved to Shayang County. If he had himself in charge, he would not be afraid that Liu Xingwen would make a monster.
"General Qin is indeed generous." Old Master Liu laughed, "But this makes the young man more confident. I think Shayang County City will definitely be more prosperous under the leadership of the general."
"Only by working together can we create brilliance together." Qin Feng smiled and reached out his hand, holding his hand tightly with Old Master Liu: "Now, we are sitting on a boat. If we can't work hard and think together, once the boat capsizes, it will be damned."
While chatting and laughing, the two completed the integration of the Taiping Army and Shayang County. Before they knew it, several hours passed. The generals waiting outside were not anxious. Everyone knew that the conversation between these two would inevitably determine the future and direction of Shayang County and the Taiping Army in the future. This matter is related to everyone's personal interests, so the more detailed the conversation, the better. When they saw the two walking out of the weeping willows, everyone immediately looked at the two of them with their attention.
Old Master Liu held Qin Feng's hand tightly and said to the people from Shayang County City with a smile: "Everyone, starting today, you will welcome a new leader, General Li Feng and Li. After a deep conversation with General Li, the old man felt that I could retire with peace of mind and go back well to take care of my health. I still want to live a few more years. Seeing you shining under General Li's leadership, you are famous all over the world!"
The Shayang County Group, led by Liu Xingwen, looked at the smiling face of Mr. Liu, and a hung heart finally let go of it. (To be continued.)
