Chen Zhihua is now in charge of Kaiping County and is in charge of military affairs. After Fuyuan County Prince Gui resigned from his military position and became a civilian position, he was the only official in the Ming Dynasty who served as a military general to manage people's livelihood. .

What Ma Xiangnan said was real. In the battle of Kaiping County, the Qin army was defeated, and the Ming army beat the water dog. Especially at that time, Baoqing camp rushed to chase the defeated Qin army into Qingzhou County. Qin general Lu must have to concentrate his troops to defend Qingzhou County. Later, although the Qin prince Ma Chao personally went to Kaiping and signed a city alliance with Qin Feng, and the Ming army withdrew from Qingzhou County, Lu must still not rush to divide his troops to station in various parts of Qingzhou.

The reason is very simple, not because of the strong military pressure of the Ming army. In fact, the Ming army now does not have many troops in Kaiping County. It only retains Chen Zhihua, and Baoqing camp has been transferred to Yongping County. The reason why Lu must not be willing to divide the troops is because of domestic political pressure.

Lu must be worried that once the troops are divided, the last 30,000 border troops he commands will be defeated by the court, and will use methods such as bribery to make the border troops fall apart. If this is the case, Lu must not think how long he can live. As Deng's confidant general, he will definitely die at that time.

Only by holding the army tightly in his hands can he have the right to speak. What's more, what Dai Shulun is planning now requires Lu to hold on to the military power so that he can be dispatched at any time.

Tens of thousands of troops were concentrated with Qingzhou County City, and almost all the corresponding resources were also concentrated in the County City. After Lu Zhen repeatedly refused the imperial decree to summon him to discuss matters by Yongdu, the court's supply to the border army was almost completely cut off. A little bit of supplies that were only enough to save lives was just worried that the army would take risks.

Under such circumstances, Lu must have to rely on plundering the people of Qingzhou County to support his army. He even sent his trusted troops to pretend to be bandits and went deep into the Qin territory to rob and plunder, creating a large number of refugees within the Qin territory.

Now these people are moving into the Ming realm.

At first, this trend was not very obvious, but when the Ming Shang Dynasty began to enter the Qin Dynasty on a large scale, the trend gradually began to expand. After a large number of people learned about the real situation of the Ming Dynasty through these Ming merchants, the trend of fleeing famines to the Ming Dynasty became more and more intense.

Even though Lu must have set up checkpoints at the border in the end, it could not stop the Qin people who were eager for a new life from continuing to flee to the Ming Kingdom with all kinds of ways.

Chen Zhihua was very annoyed by this situation. Because Kaiping County is now in a mess, when the Qin army withdrew, large-scale burning, killing and looting created a large number of unmanned areas in Kaiping County, and the people suffered heavy losses. Now, the court did not have much financial resources to support the reconstruction of Kaiping County, and everything could only be self-reliant. The influx of a large number of Qin people made the difficulty of his work countless times.

Even if the Qin people who fled into the Ming territory were regarded as inferior by Chen Zhihua in Kaiping County, their lives were much better than those in the Qin territory. After all, the government would still provide relief here. Even if the government ignored them, they no longer had to worry about their property being plundered. No matter how much Chen Zhihua hated the Qin people, he did not dare to starve them to death. As a bureaucratic family, he knew the power of the censors, and of course there was also the influence of the Qing Dynasty on him.

These Qin people actually lived a miserable life in Kaiping County. Of course, this miserableness is based on human reference standards. In the eyes of those Qin people who fled in, as long as they do not starve to death and can see hope for the future, that would be great. They are very satisfied.

The Qin people were still pouring in, and Chen Zhihua had decided to close the border and did not allow the Qin people to enter Kaiping County again.

"Your nose is still very good!" Qin Feng smiled and said, "When you stay in Changyang County, you are so clear about the matter of Kaiping County? In the memorial, Chen Zhihua only mentioned that the Qin people were pouring in, but he did not say that he could no longer deal with it."

"Of course he won't say it." Ma Xiangnan smiled and said, "Actually, I also know from the caravans in Changyang County. You also know that there are several caravans in our Changyang County who are running to Qin. Some people offer a price of five taels of silver per person, and they can introduce a large number of refugees to me from Kaiping County."

"Population transaction?" Qin Feng immediately frowned, "Who is so bold? How dare you treat this as a business?"

"Your Majesty, it's actually not considered a trading population. When the businessman said this to me, I spitted on his face and turned against him on the spot. But after hearing his explanation, I thought it was quite reasonable." Ma Xiangnan waved his hand and said.

"Oh, what other tricks can he say?" Qin Feng sneered.

"Your Majesty, he said that these Qin people are now without any wealth, and it is impossible for them to travel to Changyang County for a long distance. He is responsible for getting people for me, but these people come so far away, and they have to eat and drink on the way. He is responsible for all these. I jokingly talked with him about three taels of silver per." Ma Xiangnan said: "In this case, if he can get me 10,000 people, I will only pay 30,000 taels of silver. But as long as they take root in Changyang, they will continue to create wealth. Your Majesty, this is a killing two birds with one stone. We not only save these people from suffering and save them from starvation, but also increase the population ourselves, and weaken the ruling foundation of the Qin people. I think this is a great thing!"

"Three taels of silver? Have you ever calculated that after they come, you want to build a house for them, you want to supply them with at least one year's living supplies, and you want to provide them with necessary production tools. These are not a decimal number." Qin Feng said.

"Changyang County can support it!" Ma Xiangnan said: "It's just that we have been suffering for a year. But no matter how hard it is, can it be more than the previous two years? No matter how hard it is, will it be more than when you just started Taiping City? When they come, I will certainly not let them eat or not work. Next is the slack farming period, and they can use labor for relief. I, Changyang County, need to build roads and build bridges, so that I don't need a lot of young and strong labor. I will give them food and they will work for me. Your Majesty, if you go to Changyang for inspection next year, Changyang County will surely be a new look, and it will be countless times better than now." Ma Xiangnan Road.

"It seems that you have planned everything, so why are you looking for me? Wouldn't it be enough to just go buy someone?" Qin Feng laughed.

"After all, it's not nice to buy people. Besides, if you don't say hello to Chen Zhihua, that guy will definitely interfere. Your Majesty, tell Chen Zhihua, don't close the border, as many Qin people come over there, I will collect as much as my Changyang County." Ma Xiangnandao.

"Since you have confidence and think that it can solve your big problem in Changyang County, why don't I do it? It's just a decree." Qin Feng smiled and said, "You should prepare to accept a large number of Qin refugees when you go back."

"Actually, I have already made preparations. I have ordered all parts of the county to start building houses. Every village must prepare to accept Qin refugees. When people arrive, I want them to have a ready-made house to live in." Ma Xiangnan said with a smile.

"The people have no objection?" Qin Feng asked with a smile: "You are so generous to them. If you want the people to build houses for these people, does your Changyang County Government have any subsidies?"

"Of course there are, of course it is far from enough. However, the old minister's face is worth a few taels of silver in Changyang County, so it naturally has to be calculated as the cost." Ma Xiangnan laughed.

Qin Feng also laughed: "You guy! OK, this matter is done like this, but a large number of Qin people entered Changyang County. You should still pay attention to the integration problem with the local people. If you say there is no problem here, I don't believe it either."

"Your Majesty, I am just about to talk to you about this issue. Old man Wang of the Ministry of Personnel actually wants Changyang County to communicate with Zhengyang County in large numbers, and transfer a small part of my capable people away at once. If this were the past, there would be no problem with Lao Chen, but now a large number of Qin refugees are coming in, but there will be problems. I need officials familiar with the local situation to take charge, so as not to cause trouble. If the fools from Zhengyang County come in, I am really afraid something will happen." Ma Xiangnan complained to Qin Feng with a bitter face.

Qin Feng was stunned at first, then stretched out a finger and nodded his head to the south, "Old Ma, Old Ma, you are still waiting for me here? I think you are reluctant to let go of the officials you brought out with you. Mr. Wang used this move and had no choice. Although the reform of the administration of Zhengyang County has begun, the rules they have formed over the years are difficult to break for a while. Mr. Wang wanted to throw a few catfish into this pool of stagnant water and stir up some waves. The officials you brought out were just right, not only where you, but also where Shayang County, Taiping City and other places, there were officials to communicate with Zhengyang County officials. Don't argue with me about this matter, do as the Ministry of Personnel."

"Your Majesty, the situation in Changyang County is special. Can you delay it a little? Next year, I will release it next year." Ma Xiangnandao.

"No. Since you came up with the Qin people into Changyang County, you should worry more!" Qin Feng laughed loudly, looking at Ma Xiangnan's bitter faces, he felt a burst of joy in his heart. This guy was walking one by one, leading him to jump into his ditch.

"Your Majesty, you want me, an old cow, to pull a heavy cart. The old minister has a bad health..." Ma Xiangnan sighed.

"Da De, you just brag about your health and well!" Qin Feng laughed, "It's not good to have a hard plan at this time. Lao Ma, don't just focus on Changyang County, you have to look at the world and consider the entire Ming Dynasty!"

"I am the governor of Changyang County!" Ma Xiangnan muttered in a low voice. "Forget it, I won't fight with Your Majesty anymore. Just work harder."

"That's right!" Qin Feng smiled and said, "You can't always take advantage of it and don't pay. Over the years, the court has not been too weak to you. The Imperial Pharmacy Office alone has tilted so much resources to you. Most of the Imperial Pharmacy Office's Chengyaofang is built in your Changyang County."
