Chapter 848: Where Will We Go?

Fang Xuan's face was overjoyed, and he also knew about Da Xixun's warning overnight, and it was precisely because of this that Luoyang City was saved from a catastrophe. Although this man took refuge in the traitor and was despised by others, he was good in the end.

"That's very good, where is Da Xixun now?"

Qin Jin groaned:

"If it weren't for Fang Xianggong cleaning up Dingkou, it wouldn't be so easy to find Da Xixun, this person has another property in Luoyang City, and he is very hidden!"

Fang Xuan stroked his beard under his chin and said with a smile:

"This person is a cunning rabbit with three holes......"

At this point, he suddenly paused, and as soon as his mind turned, he immediately understood the true purpose of Qin Jin's coming. What kind of person is Qin Jin, how could he personally report such a trivial matter? The real purpose of his person coming here may have something to do with Da Xixun, but it will never be the main reason, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly realized, could it be related to the private clean-up of Dingkou?

"The doctor thinks that there may be something wrong with the private cleaning of Dingkou?"

Thinking of it, Fang Xuan was already familiar with Qin Jin's character, so he didn't beat around the bush. Sure enough, Qin Jin nodded, and then sighed lightly.

"The problems in Luoyang City are complicated, and it is even more prudent to deal with them, and it is inevitable that there will be some overkill and will arouse the dissatisfaction of the people!"

In fact, Fang Xuan did this more out of consideration for attacking Hebei in the future, and he knew that what he could do in this counterinsurgency war could only stop there, so he was eager to do all he could, raise materials for the imperial court, and dig deep into manpower.

But doing so will inevitably lead to quick success, and after weighing the two sides, he finally made such a choice without hesitation.

Now that Qin Jin is obviously opposed, he can't help but hesitate, could it be that he did it wrong?

Qin Jin wanted to tactfully point out the problem, but when he came to the exit, he changed his mind, such a problem that extremely ignores the feelings of the people must be clear, otherwise it cannot explain how serious the consequences of doing so will be.

"Forbidding human desires and confiscating property, if you really do this, it is equivalent to treating the people of Luoyang as livestock, what difference do we have from thieves?"

"This, this, not so much......"

Fang Xuan was also dumbfounded, he didn't expect Qin Jin's tone to be so stern and take the problem so seriously.

If the people are not allowed to marry freely and are not allowed to own private property, are they not equal to the domestic slaves kept in the houses of the great clans?"

"How can this be the same? The reason why the people of Luoyang are resettled in this way is not for the purpose of marching into Hebei to quell the rebellion in the future, and to make preparations?"

Qin Jin lowered his tone and said with some bitterness:

"It is indeed good to dig deep into the people's strength, but if you are fishing with all your might, won't the gains outweigh the losses? If the reputation of the imperial court and the prince among the people is not as good as that of the thieves and rebels, then who is the people and who is the ......?"

He was talking excitedly, but he heard Fang Xuan suddenly ask:

"Didn't the doctor deal with the same thing when he was in Chang'an? How could he ever see the people denounce the doctor as a thief? On the contrary, the people all poured out their wealth to cooperate, so why did they become the thieves referred to by the thousand husbands when they arrived in Luoyang?"

Qin Jin paused for a moment, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly. It turns out that this Fang Xuan also has a stubborn and pedantic side, and he is not a thoroughly polished and smooth pebble in officialdom.

"It is a fallacy, when it was disposed of in Chang'an, it was faced with life and death, and the people should have worked bravely and poured all their wealth, at this moment Luoyang has been recovered, if this is the case again, wouldn't it be a boat to seek a sword?"

Fang Xuan's face was red, he was not an unreasonable person, he was just eager to do something practical and leave some useful foundation for the Shenwu Army and Qin Jin, so he was so eager for quick success.

"Alas, the old man doesn't want to do this, but seeing that he is about to go back to Beijing to report on his work, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that there will be no more chances......"

While speaking, he burst into tears, which made Qin Jin quite moved, it turned out that Fang Xuan's heart knot was actually here.

If this is the case, it will be easy to do, because he has already sent a letter to the imperial court when the city is broken, and at the same time asks Fang Xuan to stay behind to assist Tianping in the Luoyang market.

And for his request, the imperial court did not have any reason to refuse.

"If the prime minister is worried that he has no time to do things, then there is no need, Qin has already written to the imperial court, please allow the prime minister to stay and deal with the civil affairs of Luoyang!"

This result exceeded Fang Xuan's expectations, he never expected that Qin Jin would be willing to take risks for himself. Qin Jin does have to bear the burden of doing this, after all, Fang Xuan is the prime minister of the defeated army and the loss of the division, if he is seriously investigated, even if he is executed, how many people in the world today are willing to bear it for him?

"Doctor Qin...... How can the old man ...... Please be worshiped by the old man......"

Qin Jin hurriedly held it with both hands, and said in a straight voice:

"Xianggong doesn't need to thank me, the reason why the doctor stayed is for the people of Luoyang. ”

This is just a statement that can be put on the surface, but the real reason is that except for Fang Xuan, no one is suitable to deal with Luoyang's post-war affairs, and if there is no stable rear, the Shenwu army attacking Hebei may fall into the crisis of backyard fire at any time.

Hebei in the Tang Dynasty was known as "half the world", with a prosperous population, abundant food, and Yan Zhao's fierce and belligerent style, which was never allowed to be underestimated.

Although Fang Xuan's approach is quick and quick-term, Qin Jin can also fully understand that the key is that a consensus must be reached between the two to change this somewhat extreme approach.

Fang Xuan wiped his tears with his sleeve, and then took the initiative to ask:

"The doctor only said how to appease the people, and the old man will never refuse!"

Qin Jin pondered for a moment and said:

"It's also simple, just reassure the people, as for the private sector, you can do it as appropriate, for example, use preferential treatment to attract the strong children of good families to join, but there is one thing that needs to be guaranteed, based on the principle of voluntariness, and must not be forced, as for the old and weak women and children, why should they be incorporated into the private sector?"

Fang Xuan hesitated.

"If you are willing to join the camp one day, isn't it, isn't it ......?"

He couldn't say the rest of the words, once this situation occurred, wouldn't he lose the face of the imperial court and the Shenwu Army?

Qin Jin smiled and said:

"Cooperation is mutually beneficial, as long as the conditions we offer are generous, are you afraid that he will not come? I'm afraid that I will have to break my head and send my young children to the camp!"

"If you want to attract a lot of money, the treatment of the Shenwu Army may not be like this. ”

Qin Jin shook his head.

"You don't need the court to pay an extra penny. ”

Fang Xuan really couldn't think of any way to make the people obediently send their children into the camp, and they didn't need the court to pay an extra penny.

"Doctor, don't sell it, just say it!"

Qin Jin only said two words lightly.

"Conscription!"

Fang Xuan blurted out when he boarded;

"Exempt them from servitude?"

Qin Jin nodded again:

"That's true, Qin has decided to improve the treatment in the army before, and those who are in the army can be partially exempted from family service, and the proportion of reduction and exemption can be appropriately reduced for the private sector. ”

Fang Xuan clapped his hands and praised kindness, but at the same time he was worried.

"Since the beginning of the former Sui Dynasty, only officials up to the fifth rank have the qualifications to be exempted from forced labor, if this precedent is opened, I am afraid that it will cause a large number of officials to be dissatisfied!"

Of course, Qin Jin knew this very well, when he was alive, the five grades were the watershed of officialdom, and those above the five grades were the best among the officials, and below the five grades, although they were officials, they were still inevitably served, and those who had surplus wealth could be used for service, and if they were poor, they could only go to the service in person, but there was no dignity at all.

Therefore, the exemption from conscription has always been a sign of status flaunting the status of officials above the fifth rank, and once these privileges are delegated, it will naturally attract the opposition of officials above the fifth rank, and Fang Xuan's worries are not superfluous.

"There is no such thing as the best of both worlds, it can not only please the officials, but also give benefits to the people, such a good thing, even Qin is helpless!"

Fang Xuan really didn't expect that Qin Jin was not afraid of offending the interests of a large number of officials, but doing so might bring trouble to the Shenwu Army that he had not encountered before. He was only worried that Qin Jin was too young, inexperienced in officialdom, and overconfident, thus underestimating the power of the opposition forces from officialdom. Once this happens, it's not easy to make a difference.

"This matter is very important, and we must not act hastily, and I hope that the doctor will think twice. ”

And Qin Jin has already made a decision, and if someone opposes it, he will oppose it, and that will be in the future, and the only way to make the most reasonable and maximum use of manpower and material resources is now.

Qin Jin insisted on his opinion, which was beyond Fang Xuan's expectations, and when he saw that he had no intention of changing his mind, he gritted his teeth.

"Since the doctor won't change his mind, the old man will wade into this troubled water with you!"

In fact, as early as Qin Jin pleaded with the court for him, Fang Xuan was already tied to the chariot of the Shenwu Army, and unless Fang Xuan took the initiative to jump out of the car, he could only follow the road to the black.

In Qin Jin's plan, this is another account of two benefits, Qin Jin needs Fang Xuan to take care of civil affairs, and Fang Xuan also needs Qin Jin to support him and delay the time to be disposed of.

After two lifetimes, Qin Jin has already seen through a little, officialdom is unrighteous, this is not to say that all officials are unrighteous people, but if you want to maintain long-term cooperation between each other, it is difficult to achieve things with righteous words, only profit is fundamental, if it is beneficial, it is combined, and if it is not profitable, it is divided.

It is precisely because of this that Fang Xuan, who shouted at Qin Jin and wanted to get rid of him quickly, has changed his attitude towards him 180 degrees today. Of course, it's just that the method used by Qin Jin is closer to "moisturizing things and silent", which is not easy to detect.

About an hour later, Da Xixun was invited to the imperial city, this speculative and suspicious high-ranking official was not embarrassed as Qin Jin imagined, and obviously his life in the other house still maintained a considerable level of favorable conditions. Except for Tian's slightly pale face, a little uneasiness and apprehension flashed in a pair of small eyes from time to time.

"Da Xi Xianggong is okay?"

Qin Jin looked at Da Xixun with a smile, but Da Xixun hurriedly waved his hands as if he had been pricked by a needle immediately.

"Don't call it that, the guilty person Da Xixun visits Doctor Qin!"

He is the prime minister of the thief pseudo-Yan, if he is called the prime minister again, isn't it equivalent to looking for death?
