Chapter two hundred and ninety-six: capable county governor
When Liu Xingwen said this, Qin Feng breathed a long sigh of relief. He could tolerate the tricks played by the five people on the army, because in his opinion, it was not worth mentioning. He had some means to slowly resolve such means in the future, but he would never tolerate being strangled by others in the economy.
Unlike Moro, the backbone of the Taiping Army was all from the Great Chu border army. They received formal military education and had a deep understanding of the impact of economy and logistics on the combat effectiveness of an army. Isn’t the war and fighting to the end, it is an economic contest?
How fierce the Western Qin army was. In terms of combat effectiveness, it has always been above Western Chu. This situation continued until Zuo Lixing took office, but even Zuo Lixing took eight years to reverse the disadvantages in the strategy. In the end, what is it reliable? It is still money.
Although in the Zuo Lixing era, the combat effectiveness of the border troops in the western part of Da Chu had been greatly improved.
Over the years, Western Qin has won so many wars against Chu, but is still blocked to the west of the Luoying Mountains. The most fundamental reason is that Western Qin is too poor and cannot afford a large-scale war with Southern Chu.
The Western Qin knew very well that even if they won the war with Western Chu, they would have to go bankrupt. Before they could accept everything from Southern Chu, they would be easily swallowed up by Dongqi.
Now Shayang County is Shayang County of the five major players. The economic lifeline is controlled by the five major players. Qin Feng cannot change all this overnight, but he must slowly turn this situation around and change the situation of small head and big limbs.
The influence of the five major members in Shayang County cannot be eliminated in a short period of time. Clearing the land and the reform of commercial tax will only be the first step. As the Taiping Army leaves Shayang County, as the strength of the Taiping Army gradually expands, the corresponding steps will slowly unfold.
Qin Feng did not want to weaken the strength of the five major players, but he had to ensure that their influence was slowly faded in the Taiping Army system, which sounded a bit contradictory, but Qin Feng was confident that he could do this.
The five people came with the intention of resistance, but after Liu Xingwen spoke, they left in a bad mood. For them, it would be inevitable that the old man would be angry because he had just left, and the Taiping Army was angry, but the old man's reaction was far beyond their expectations. They really did not expect that the old man would support the Taiping Army so unreservedly, and would harm the major interests of the Liu family for this. You must know that the Liu family suffered the greatest losses in this move.
But while helpless, there was a hint of excitement. If the Taiping Army walked out of Shayang County and fought a vast world as Qin Feng said, then the influence of the five great masters would also go all the way with the footsteps of the Taiping Army.
The five great masters of Yue Country sound like a very good choice.
"Master Quan, please stay." Looking at Quan Yun who stood up and was about to leave with the five everyone else, Qin Feng said with a smile.
When Quan Yun heard Qin Feng's attempt to stay, he was not only a little surprised, but even the five people turned around in surprise and looked at Qin Feng standing at the door.
"As the governor of Shayang County, Li still has a lot to ask for advice." Qin Feng smiled and said, "Deputy Shou Wang, please send General Liu and the others to me!"
"Yes, general!" Wang Hou walked to Liu Xingwen and others, bowed and gave in: "Everyone, please!"
Quan Yun walked back with some anxiety, but chose the farthest position from Qin Feng to sit down. He entered the city from the Taiping Army and Old Master Liu left. All his performances clearly showed that he was from the Five Great Masters. He didn't know what Qin Feng meant to leave him alone? Disaster and provocation, this is too pediatric? He is not a three-year-old child, and the Five Great Masters are not without brains. How could he be fooled easily?
But judging from Qin Feng's performance just now, the combination of hardness and softness is combined, and there is no shortage of comfort in the threat. It is appropriate, not like that kind of rude person!
Seeing Quan Yun sitting so far away from him, as if he was intentionally drawing a clear line with him, Qin Feng smiled slightly and sat down without comment.
"Mr. Quan, I have been in Shayang County for quite some time. I have more or less understood you. If Mr. Liu is the first person I admire after entering Shayang County, then you will be ranked second. You are the second person I admire." As soon as Qin Feng opened his mouth, what Qin Feng said surprised Quan Yun.
"General Li praised me, but I can't afford such praise." Quan Yun waved his hands repeatedly.
"I am not praising the governor of Quan, nor am I intentionally trying to win over you. I have always been straightforward and say whatever I say and will not go around the corner. If I don't like you, I will roll my eyes at you." Qin Feng smiled and said, "Mr. Quan, do you know why I admire you?"
"Quan really doesn't know." Quan Yun shook his head and said.
"One of the others only saw you being humble in front of Old Master Liu, and being humble in front of the five great masters. But what I saw was Shayang County's government was harmonious and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment." Qin Feng said lightly: "This is all the credit of Lord Quan!"
Quan Yun was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the other party to speak so bluntly, and his heart suddenly jumped up, "This is all the credit of Mr. Liu. What I did is nothing!"
"Wrong." Qin Feng shook his head, "Old Master Liu's skill in Dinghai Dinghai Sword Needle is of course there, but the problems in Shayang County are actually quite serious. I have never seen a place where land annexation has reached such a serious point, and the gap between the rich and the poor is so big. If it were other places, I would probably have had many conflicts and even extremely serious conflicts. But what surprised me was that Shayang County did not, but was quite calm. Here, I have to say that Lord Quan is skilled and handled the contradictions just right. Although it is just to delay the conflicts in the future, it is already quite rare to be able to achieve this. Over the years, I believe that the governor of Quan has not been angry with splints, right?"
Hearing such considerate words, Quan Yun felt warm first, and then a soreness, and almost burst into tears. Over the years, he naturally suffered countless splinters. On the one hand, he had to maintain the interests of the five great masters, and on the other hand, he had to maintain the stability of Shayang County. The difficulty of this is not something that outsiders can tell them.
He was supported by Mr. Liu. Without Mr. Liu, he was still an unknown minor official in Yuejing City. After becoming the county magistrate of Shayang County, he naturally had to repay Mr. Liu's mentor for his mentor. In order to safeguard the interests of the big family and the stability of the entire Shayang County, he must do both.
He has done a good job over the years, and of course, he has been worried about this.
Old Master Liu did not treat him as an outsider, thinking that all he did was what he should do. As for how he did it, Old Master Liu didn't care much. This was the first time he had heard such considerate words.
"I..." He opened his mouth and swallowed all his words back, but his eyes were a little red.
Qin Feng walked to him and patted his shoulder kindly: "Mr. Quan, don't worry, I will not ask you to alienate Liu. The old man is your mentor. Without him, there would be no you. This kind of kindness of knowing the favor will naturally be repaid."
Quan Yun was relieved when he heard the other party say this.
"The days ahead are still long, and you will see it slowly." Qin Feng smiled and said, "I need your Zhuo Yuan's governance to vigorously develop the economy of Shayang County. At the same time, you also need your special bonding ability to balance the interests of the big family and Shayang County as a whole. Of course, I hope that you will use your talents little by little to benefit everyone in the future, not just for those families. Change will take time, and I am willing to give you this time."
Looking at Quan Yun, Qin Feng said meaningfully: "You have to understand one thing, your future is definitely not something they can compare with."
"Thank you for your attention, Lord Commander, Quan... Quan did his best." Quan Yun stood up and bowed deeply to Qin Feng. The other party could not only understand his difficulties, but also be reasonable, which moved him quite.
"The future is long!" Qin Feng laughed, and saw Wang Hou walking in, saying, "Mr. Quan, I asked Wang Hou to help you, not to come to you, but to let you work together."
"Of course, Wang admires the ability of the governor of Quan County." Wang Hou nodded repeatedly. "I went to the governor's office just to be a good steward for the general. As for the rest, Duke Quan County is not assured, I will never reach out."
"Okay, let's get back to the point, the governor of Quan. Now the five people have agreed to clear the land. There will be no other pressure on this matter. No one knows the specific situation of Shayang County better than you. Tell us how much can it be cleaned up in this cleaning?" Qin Feng smiled and knocked on the table, "Is this related to our future job?"
Quan Yun pondered for a moment, "If the five people really withdraw from these hidden fields without reservation, it is roughly estimated that millions of acres of land and tens of thousands of hidden households will be added. The treasury will add hundreds of thousands of taels of extra staple food every year."
"It's really a big income." Qin Feng exclaimed: "It's so much in a year. You can think about how much wealth these people in Shayang have accumulated over the years. No wonder when I arrested Liu Xingwen and the others, I spoke up and didn't bargain at all. It turns out that the large number in my opinion is just a drop in the bucket!"
"This is still a small head, and the big head is still on the side of the commercial tax!" Wang Houdao: "The business in Shayang County is almost completely controlled by these companies, and the commercial tax that is as low as the extreme is the focus of these companies' income."
"Take it slow, the knife cannot be too steep!" Qin Feng smiled and said, "Don't move this part for the time being. Whenever we take a step outward and find a new profit point for them, we will use a knife to cut their interests. In this way, they will not see any losses, and we can also get more income smoothly."
