Chapter 806

After entering the door, Feng Zhidai respectfully bowed to Qin Lang with his hands.

"Come on, have some tea, freshly prepared chicken cakes and radish cakes, do you eat wonton or rice noodles?" Qin Lang smiled and called him to sit down. Feng Zhidai had been hostage for the Feng family in Beijing for several years. Later, after Feng Ang became the eldest son and became the general in Beijing, Feng Zhidai returned to Lingnan to be appointed as the governor.

When he first entered Beijing, it was really difficult for a Lingnan barbarian to be in Chang'an. He was looked down upon by the powerful and powerful people in the capital. Later, he asked his wife to be a wet nurse for Qin Lang's eldest son and became a popular favorite Qin Lang, so he lived a better life.

After returning to Lingnan, Feng Zhidai never cut off contact with the Qin family. During festivals, he would definitely send people to send various festival gifts from thousands of miles away. Every year when lychees were on the market, he would even send special personnel to Chang'an to get fresh lychees to Qin Lang.

After sitting down, Feng Zhidai felt a little aggrieved.

"Duke Wei, our Feng Qin family is in-laws, and we have a lot of contacts and cooperation in Lingnan. Our Feng family has taken great care of Wu'anzhou. Why is Duke Wei going to deal with the Feng family like this now?"

"Eat something first." Qin Lang likes some Cantonese snacks very much. The people who went south lived in the hot Lingnan and improved many delicacies. Some famous delicacies in later generations have appeared or have some prototypes at this time.

Feng Zhidai couldn't eat it.

"Isn't it good for Gaochun and the two states to give your family? These are the two states connected, especially Gaozhou Dagang."

Feng was silent.

The Feng Ang family represents the largest indigenous power in Lingnan. The Feng family is the representative of the Han people who went south to Lingnan. Through generations of marriage with the Lishun Xian family, they formed a powerful force. It can be said that during the most powerful Mrs. Xian period, the Feng family controlled most of the Lingnan East Road east of Yunkaishan.

The west is bounded by Yunkaishan, and the Lingnan Xining clan is bounded by Xijiang in the north. It has reached the Guangzhou border in the east, and it is south to the sea. Even Hainan Island is within the Feng family's sphere of influence.

However, since the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Feng Xian family had internal conflicts, and even the Feng family had split.

Qin Lang ate a piece of radish cake and smiled.

"Look at my sand table."

"Although I only give you the two states of Gaochun now, these two states actually include the original lands of Chun, En, Gao, Luo, Xin, Qin, Pan, and Dou Bazhou. You must know that there were originally Xian Baoche and Feng Xuan's territory. I will change them for you now and make the two states of Gaochun. Isn't it better?"

"Just talk about this Gaozhou Port? But it has a unique and has a superior geographical location."

Feng Zhidai was secretly surprised at the sand table with very detailed mountains, rivers and seas? But you can see it at a glance through this detailed sand table? Their two states are east of Guangzhou? They are west of Yunkai Mountain. Although they are connected together, they are surrounded by mountains and seas. They are not a good area.

This is the place where the Feng family went south to operate for generations? It is worse than the Bianhua Leizhou that the Feng family later developed.

Even Gaozhou Port is far inferior to Leizhou Port and has better conditions.

"Liu Lang? Although my son is not your daughter as his fiancée? He is the daughter of your second brother Zhi Dai. But do you know our relationship? It has always been good. Your son's engagement with Xu Jingzong's daughter? Is this a matchmaker who I guarantee? Is that right?"

"Your second brother is now in the court as the General of the Left Wu Guard? I plan to report to Your Majesty that you will be the governor of Gaozhou, change Chunzhou to Enzhou, and make your eldest brother Feng Zhijun the governor of Enzhou."

Feng Zhidai was stunned for a moment.

His father Feng Ang has thirteen sons and more than twenty daughters. Zhijun is the eldest son of the concubine? He is also his brother Feng Laoliu and Feng Zhidai.

The second son Feng Zhidai is now the General of the Left Wuwei Guard in Chang'an Procuratorate? He is the eldest son.

Zhiyu and Zhishi are the second and third legitimate ones? Both of them served as governors before.

Qin Lang now wants Zhiwan, who had briefly served as the governor of Gaozhou, to be the governor of Enzhou? Let him, the sixth brother, be the governor of Gaozhou, but the fourth brother, who was born in the legitimate position, all were dismissed from the position of governor.

"Liulang, to be honest? My relationship with your father, Duke Yue, is not very deep, but we have been together for a long time and the relationship is still good. I don't know the brothers of your family. The situation in Lingnan is more complicated now. The saint hopes that Lingnan will be stable as soon as possible, so I hope you can put more burdens on me. Your elder brother is your and my mother, so I will use it together."

"Then my grandfather?" Feng Zhidai was stunned for a moment.

I thought the Feng family had only two states left, but among the three governors, he, the governor of Yazhou, would definitely be dismissed.

"Your grandpa may stay in the capital to serve. If you return to Lingnan, you will be the chief minister of the Guangzhou Governor's Office. As for your second brother, he is now the General of the Left Wu Guard of the Procuratorate. His career is smooth, so how could he come back easily?"

As he said that, Qin Lang picked up a piece of carrot cake for Zhidai, "Try it, this tastes good. Liulang, I have a lot of expectations for you. When the opportunity comes, you have to seize it, but don't miss it. You and I are both maids and concubines, and we are born with noble lives without legitimate children. We have to work hard on our own. I hope you can be loyal to the saints and the court and lead the Feng family on the right path."

"The saints will reward loyalty. If you do your best, I will also ask for me."

"How is Junheng doing this kid recently? Are you still used to leaving Chang'an and returning to Lingnan?"

Feng Junheng is Feng Zhidai's son and the breast brother of Qin Jun, the eldest son of Qin Langshu. Qin Lang acted as a matchmaker to marry Xu Jingzong and made Xu Jingzong's daughter the fiancee.

"I have lived in Beijing for a few years, but this kid is not used to the days in his hometown in Lingnan."

Qin Lang said, "Your Feng family is also a famous family in the Central Plains, and they are not native to Lingnan. Your family moved south and reached your son's generation. In fact, it's only two hundred years."

In two hundred years, the Feng family's six generations actually only took five generations of management to build a world in Lingnan. This is actually what Qin Lang envies and yearns for, and it is also the direction he hopes for the Qin family in Wu'anzhou in the future.

Qin Lang's new arrangement is actually unfavorable for the entire Feng family. The Feng Ang and Feng Xuan brothers will be further divided and will become completely a family in the future and it will be impossible for them to get together again.

Now Qin Lang deliberately praised Feng Ang's two concubines and suppressed his two legitimate sons, which is also intended to create internal conflicts among the new generation of the Feng family.

On the surface, the governors of Gao En and the other states were still Feng Ang's sons, but in fact the difference was still very big.

Of course, for the person involved, Feng Zhidai, this change is beneficial to him. Which child doesn’t want to be the leader?

Feng Ang was just Feng Pu's youngest son back then. Originally, the eldest son Feng Hun died early and his eldest grandson was still young. When it was the second son Feng Xuan's turn to inherit the family business, but in the end, Feng Ang seized the opportunity to seize the second son's inheritance rights.

Now Qin Lang has made a clear idea for him that the eldest son Feng Zhidae is a general in Beijing, but in fact he is the hostage of the Feng family in the emperor. He can't easily return to Lingnan, at least he can't come back before Feng Ang's death.

Now Qin Lang does not allow Feng Ang to be in Gao En's reign, and intends to keep him in Chang'an, or return to Lingnan and press him to Guangzhou. If Qin Lang supports Feng Zhidai as the governor of Gaozhou and let his brother be the governor of Enzhou, then their branch will suppress the brothers born in the Xian family.

People are selfish.

This is the weakness of human nature.

Feng Zhidai thought for a long time, "Can Duke Wei protect the Feng family?"

"As long as the Feng family does not make trouble, you can at least maintain the position of a prince."

Feng Zhidai finally nodded and made up his mind.

"As long as my grandfather can agree, I will obey Duke Wei's arrangements."

"Your father, you may lose your temper or be very unhappy, but you will eventually agree to my plan. Because the saint will support me, your grandfather can only agree in the end." Qin Lang said.

"You go and call your elder brother, and I'll talk to him, I want to hear his attitude."

"Don't worry, Sanlang, my elder brother is absolutely reliable, and his ability will not be problematic."

After a long talk with Qin Lang, Feng Zhiwan agreed to cooperate readily. He had no psychological burden than his brothers. Perhaps it was because when the war broke out at the end of the Sui Dynasty, his father took Zhidae to act as the governor of Gaozhou when he was fighting. However, as soon as the war was over, he immediately accepted his post and asked other legitimate brothers to be the governor of Gaozhou. This was also a place where he had always been dissatisfied.

Zhiwan knew that his brother Zhidai and Qin Lang had a closer relationship, so he was not dissatisfied with his position as the governor of Enzhou and his brother as the governor of Gaozhou.

If it weren't for the relationship between his brother and Qin Lang, he would have probably never had the chance to be the governor of Enzhou.

"I will report that you brothers will be the governors of the two states of Gao En. I will support you with all my strength in the future. Whoever dares to refuse to accept me, I will support you. But you have to manage the two states and you must also support the Grand Governor's Office."

"Please don't worry, Mr. Wei!" The two brothers patted their chests and promised.

Since it is cooperation, it must be mutual support.

Qin Lang supported their brothers to take office in the Feng family, and they wanted to support Qin Lang's new policy implemented in Lingnan.

The specific point of the new policy is to further implement the registration of households and people, implement the court's two tax laws, crack down on maritime smuggling trade, ban private soldiers, organize united soldiers, pay taxes and taxes, etc.

Measure land, check household registration, set up counties and townships, set up baojia, build schools, etc.

In fact, it is to transform the Feng family, which was originally equivalent to the autonomy of the government, to transform it into a prefecture for the imperial court, to abolish and enlist, to send officials, etc.

All of these require the support of the governor.

In the past, Feng Ang always disobeyed the emperor and was anxious, so he always had a way to provoke a rebellion from Lilian. As a result, the court had to suspend the chaos.

Now Qin Lang doesn't plan to play this trick with Feng Ang anymore, so he let his sons take charge of the family, cooperate with them, and build up old Feng.

Although Lao Feng is the head of the family and has strong prestige, Feng Ang’s sons also have their own interests. As long as they find this point, they can cooperate.

Qin Lang promised that after the Feng family's private troops would be withdrawn, the two states would be assigned to train 5,000 people, each divided into five battalions in front, back, middle, left and right, and promised to report to Feng Zhidai and Feng Zhiwan brothers as governors and also as regiments, and they would lead the united soldiers in their respective states.

Qin Lang even promised to provide some of the arms and food for their Unity soldiers, and even send their Unity camp coaches to coach the soldiers.
