Chapter 419: Arriving in New State
In front of the new state capital, Qin Wangfu was dumbfounded.
Where is the yamen of the state capital in front of him still a yamen, it is simply a broken courtyard that has been abandoned for more than ten years. It can barely be seen that this is the former Xinzhou state capital, the roof has collapsed in half, and people can look up on the ground to see a large piece of sky, Qin Forget can imagine the scene of rain frantically pouring into the house if it rains. Five of the eight pillars on the top beam fell, especially Qin Wang, who was bold, did not dare to step into it easily, for fear that the roof would suddenly collapse and crush him to death. The gate is even more dilapidated, covered with cracks and traces of swords, and at a glance you can tell that a great battle has passed. Fortunately, the plaque of "New State Capital" under the eaves was wiped spotlessly, which also showed a bit of majesty, but it was a little funny.
"This is the capital of a state?" Xue Xiaoxiang looked around, his eyes turned a few times on the straight officials standing at the door, and asked Qin Wangdao suspiciously.
"You can't be wrong." Qin Forget smiled bitterly, he knew that Xinzhou would be very difficult, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
"Who are you? In front of the state capital, you must not be presumptuous! Seeing Qin Forget and the others coming to the door on horseback and straddle the sword, a group of officials quickly greeted them, looking like they were facing a great enemy, and one of them shouted and asked.
Looking at the officials who were waiting for the battle, Qin Forget nodded again and again, and it could be seen from their standing posture that these officials were not fancy, and Gu Feng still had some achievements.
"Tell Lord Gu Fenggu, just say that the general has arrived, and greet him quickly!" Xue Feiyun took a step forward and whispered to Du Tou.
Du Tou's face froze, knowing that Qin Forget and the others were big shots, so he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and hurriedly went to report.
"Subordinate Gu Feng, with all the officials in Xinzhou, I have seen the general." Qin Wanggao sat in the first place, and Gu Feng took a group of subordinates to greet him.
"Gu Feng, hurry up, it's been really hard for you this time." Qin Forget looked at the same shabby state government and said guiltily, "You have all worked hard, hurry up and sit down." ”
Everyone said yes and sat down one after another.
Qin Forget looked at Gu Feng's dozen subordinates, most of these people were young people, many of them had not yet grown the fluff on the corners of their mouths, and their faces looked very immature, I don't know where Gu Feng came from. When they saw Qin Wang's gaze, they all sat up straight and puffed up their chests, hoping to make a good impression on Qin Wang. It was the first time for these people to see Qin Wang, and most of them looked at him with curiosity or admiration. Qin Forget also saw Gu Feng's sister Gu Yun in the crowd.
Seeing that Qin couldn't help but look at his subordinates, Gu Feng smiled slightly, "These young people are all I have recruited with great difficulty in Xinzhou, there are children of broken families, and there are also children of poor families, but they are all very capable, and Xinzhou's achievements today are inseparable from their efforts." Especially Tang Ji and Liu Ye are my right-hand men. ”
After Gu Feng finished speaking, he introduced Qin Forget to the people under him one by one, and the most outstanding Tang Ji in Gu Feng's mouth looked like a child of the family, even if the family was in the middle of the road because of the last plague, but
He can still see a good upbringing, and he also has the pride unique to the children of the family on his face. And Liu Ye looked like a child of a poor family, and when he saw Qin Wang's eyes, he looked a little cramped, and there were obvious traces of labor on his body.
"Along the way, NSW is really miserable, you have worked really hard this time." Qin Forget nodded to them and said, "Gu Yun, you also made a lot of efforts, right?" ”
Hearing Qin Wang's question, a blush appeared on Gu Yun's tanned pretty face, "My brother is understaffed, so he has to pull me to help him." ”
"Okay, our women in Akagi have always been able to hold up half the sky. If you can, you can help your brother, but you should also pay attention to your body. Qin Forget said gently to Gu Yun.
Qin Wang's words made Gu Yun's pretty face even redder.
"Gu Feng, don't say I won't help you, I brought you 100,000 taels of gold, it should be able to solve your urgent needs, we have made a lot of profits in the tea and horse market, and there will be such assistance in the future." Qin Forget turned to Gu Feng again.
"Great, with these 100,000 taels of gold, we can do a lot of things." Gu Feng slapped happily and was very excited, "Now there are about 50,000 people in Xinzhou, almost all of them are young and strong, and we have prepared farm tools and seeds, as long as spring starts, we can sow seeds immediately." With this amount of money, we can rest our houses, attract more people, and do other things much easier. ”
"There are only 50,000 people in the huge new state?" Qin Forget frowned.
"Yes, the plague last time was too tragic, that is, it was easier to solve it when the weather became cold after autumn, but it also made Xinzhou empty." Gu Feng sighed, still looking palpitating.
Hearing Gu Feng mention the tragic situation last time, his subordinates had red eyes, and their faces were full of miserable looks, the last plague, their families were not spared, there were people who died of illness in every family, and even some people had no family left.
"Okay, it's over, it's over, and those who are alive still have to live well." Qin Forget lowered his head sadly, hiding the guilt in his eyes, "Our top priority now is to restore the livelihood of the people in Xinzhou, Gu Feng, tell me what you think." ”
"Actually, my idea is very simple, with Akagi there, we also have examples to follow. In the past few months, we have counted the population and land of NSW clearly, and distributed it according to the proportion of 10 acres per mouth. Everyone is very satisfied, and people's hearts are very stable. My plan is to use the land to stabilize people's hearts first, and then slowly develop. Gu Feng said what he thought.
"It's a good idea, and that's all the way it is right now in NSW." Qin Forget knew that if he did this, the development of Xinzhou would be very slow, but there was no way to do it, "Xinzhou is close to the Yellow River, the terrain is even more flat, it is a grain producing area in the north of Dayan, and food is the short board of our Chicheng, Gu Feng, you must not waste this treasure land." We are rich, and your future support is indispensable. ”
"Great!" Hearing Qin Wang's promise, Gu Feng and theirs
A group of men rejoiced.
"General, I'm afraid that we in Xinzhou won't be able to provide a single grain to Chicheng in the past few years, so you give me five years, and after five years, the grain generals in Xinzhou will have as much as they want." Gu Feng promised.
"Well, I'll give you five years. By the way, I brought Wang Ming this time, you join forces, I believe that you can govern Xinzhou better, come to Wang Ming, and meet everyone. Qin Forget said with a smile to Wang Ming beside him.
"In Xia Wang Ming, I have met all my colleagues." When he first arrived, Wang Ming put his posture very low.
"Haha, great, with Lord Wang's help, then we will be much easier." Gu Feng knew Wang Ming's current situation in Chicheng, and said very enthusiastically, and specially gave Wang Ming a solemn salute.
Wang Ming was moved in his heart, glanced at Gu Feng gratefully, and hurriedly returned the salute, constantly saying ashamed in his mouth.
"Colleagues, this is Lord Wang Ming, Lord Wang is an old man from Akagi, and he is full of talent, everyone should learn more from him in the future." Gu Feng said to his subordinates.
Wang Ming's gratitude in his heart was even greater, he knew that Gu Feng was establishing his prestige, "Wang Ming has just arrived, and I ask you for more advice." ”
Everyone hurried to return the salute.
"Lord Gu doesn't know, before I came, Lord Yin, Lord Wang and other colleagues told me to find trouble with Lord Gu, and several of them were very angry with the adults." After everyone saluted, Wang Ming looked at Gu Feng and said with a smile.
Gu Feng's face was stunned, and he didn't react for a moment what Wang Ming meant, "Could it be that you offended a few adults in the next place?" He asked, surprised.
"The price of ten acres of land per person can bring a lot of honest people, can they not want to trouble you." Wang Ming smiled again, "But I told them, I will serve under Lord Gu when I go to Xinzhou, how can there be a reason for my subordinates to embarrass the officials, this is really impossible." ”
After listening to Wang Ming, everyone laughed. Wang Ming is really a smart person, and he made a clear distinction between the master-slave relationship between him and Gu Feng in a joking, saving everyone embarrassment.
Qin Forget smiled and nodded approvingly at Wang Ming, he clearly saw that after Wang Ming said this, Tang Ji and Liu Ye were secretly relieved, Qin Forget knew what they were worried about, they were worried that Wang Ming was an airborne official, if this was really the case, then they, the henchmen of Gu Feng, would be at a loss, and they would not break it at the moment.
"Gu Feng, I asked Duan Jiu to take Chen Wangchun and them to the mountains on the way to solve the bandit problem for you, how about it, I will be thoughtful, right?" Tang Ji's subordinates were all dispersed, and Qin Forget talked to Gu Feng a lot more casually.
"Thank you, General, for solving a big problem for me." Gu Feng was surprised for a moment, and immediately thanked him excitedly.
"Not only that, but I also brought you an old man over this time, and you must be happy to see it." Qin Wangxiao sold a pass, "Come out." ”
