Chapter 1138: After the War (II)
When Qin Feng and his party returned to the Tiger Prison, Quan Yun had already compiled some of the plans sorted out with the various Shangshu into a simple abridgement and sent them to Qin Feng.
Today's Ming Dynasty, in addition to the military, is still controlled by Qin Feng, all other political affairs are held by the political affairs hall, and each part is responsible for it, Qin Feng thinks that he is doing these specific strengths, and he can't catch up with these officials, so he never interferes, he only cares about a general direction, and then he just waits to see the results.
At least for now, he's quite satisfied.
At this time, looking at the abridgement, he was even more satisfied, and all aspects were extremely thoughtful.
"Su Kairong's abacus is getting more and more refined." Shaking the abridgement in his hand, Qin Feng laughed: "Those merchants sold your grain, and they have to be responsible for sending it to the ground, this transfer freight is not a small amount, right?" ”
"Your Majesty, these grains, the imperial court itself is purchased at a protective price, these merchants do not suffer losses, and these merchants themselves are going to Qin State to expand their territory, and the imperial court has asked them to be responsible for transporting these grains and grass to the ground, and they have a righteous and bright march into these places, and they can't ask for it!" Quan Yun explained: "In this way, they have a preconceived advantage when competing with other merchants. There is a small loss at this end, but as long as you occupy the market first, start the brand, you will make a lot of money in the future, these businessmen are shrewd, and the vision is also long-term, these new mergers into my Ming Qindi, although it was said to be poor and white before, but there are a lot of people, as long as it is under my Ming rule, it will not take long, it will inevitably prosper, how can those people do a loss-making business? ”
"That's just as well. Nowadays, our businessmen of the Ming Dynasty are becoming more and more shrewd and have a long-term vision. This is a very good thing, if we are all blind, then it will be difficult for us to do things. Hey? Why did the kitten also get the idea of these merchants? Are they willing to use the escorts of these merchants to suppress bandits? Qin Feng asked with some surprise.
"Your Majesty, what do businessmen need most? Of course, there is a good environment, if there are bandits everywhere, who do they do business with? And they don't need to be the bosses, just take care of some small fights in the area they go to. It's not them who are really pulling the big shots. ”
"The General Administration of Criminal Justice?" Qin Feng looked at the abridgement in his hand, "They don't seem to have enough manpower!" ”
"Your Majesty, do you know that there is a Tianwu dart shop in Daming now?" Kwon Yun asked.
"Tianwu Dart Xing?" Qin Feng frowned, "I really don't know this. ”
"This Tianwu dart shop was just established this year, and the dart masters in it are all some people who have retired from the army, these people are older, they can't farm, and they are laymen in business, so they set up this dart shop, which is usually dedicated to providing some protection for businesses, and of course, by the way, they also help catch robbers or something." Quan Yun said with a smile.
Qin Feng's eyes lit up, "You mean, behind this Tianwu Dart Store is the Anti-Theft Administration?" ”
"Your Majesty, that's exactly the case. Although this Tianwu dart shop was only opened this year, but the expansion is extremely rapid, in addition to the main hall of Yuejing City, there are also branch halls in various counties, and there are probably nearly 3,000 people in the dart division, most of them are retired from the army, and there are also some people from the rivers and lakes who have joined it. ”
"So big?" Qin Feng was also surprised.
Quan Yundao: "At the beginning, the Anti-Theft Administration was understaffed and the funds were limited, Tang Zhong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, came up with this trick and opened a dart shop, one can gather some people, and the other can also make some money, now the business of the Ming Dynasty walks the world, most of them have to hire a guard, and the price is not expensive, in the past, the merchants recruited people themselves, and it was inevitable that the dragons and snakes would be mixed, and there were some sub-things, there was such a famous dart shop to undertake these businesses, and the merchants were also willing to deal with them, this came and went, The Tianwu Dart Line developed rapidly. Your Majesty, my Ming army will retreat from the army every year, some of them will farm, or do business, but there are still some people, but they can't let go of fighting, or have been accustomed to this kind of life, so they voted for the dart industry as a dart master, and the remuneration is also rich, and the natural people will gather more and more, but because he is developing too rapidly, so the criminal department itself panicked first. ”
Qin Feng laughed: "It's strange that he doesn't panic, he has gathered thousands of people at once, and these people are all well-trained retired personnel in the army, and if something happens, it will be a big thing to break the sky." That's why the Criminal Department couldn't hold it anymore and came to you. ”
"At first, I was also very angry, but then I thought about it, it is better to block than to sparse, if you forcibly disband this dart line, I am afraid that it is not beautiful, so after consulting with the Ministry of War and the Criminal Department, I feel that it is still necessary to use it, and they can not use a few dollars left and right, they can support themselves, and even make money to post the General Administration of Anti-Theft, the key is to completely control them." Kwon Yundao.
"That's a good idea." Qin Feng nodded and said appreciatively: "They are a serious business organization that has passed the bright side, as long as they can grasp it, they can play an unexpected role." ”
"That's right, Your Majesty. Now that the merchants of the Ming Dynasty are walking the world, these guards are naturally following all over the world, and now, even the Eagle's Nest has also stepped in. Therefore, Tianwu Dart now looks like a full chamber of commerce organization in all aspects, a chamber of commerce that relies on force to eat, but in fact, it is firmly in the hands of the imperial court, and the best thing is that there is no need for the imperial court to spend money. Quan Yun smiled and said authentically. However, this time, the imperial court decided to pay for them to send people to suppress the bandits. ”
Qin Feng touched his chin and thought thoughtfully: "I have the meaning of a mercenary." ”
"Mercenaries? That's a brilliant statement. Quan Yundao: "These people are fierce and good at fighting, and because there are many characters in the rivers and lakes, all kinds of methods are more unpredictable, and using other positions to suppress bandits is more effective than the regular army." ”
"Since the martial arts are made up by the Criminal Department this day, and the Criminal Department is also responsible for the suppression of bandits this time, let them get it themselves." Qin Feng said with a smile: "I would like to see their methods, but there is only one, such a quasi-military organization, the imperial court must not relax its supervision." ”
"Your Majesty rest assured, the old minister said that the Eagle's Nest has intervened, first, they can use their advantage of walking the world to collect intelligence, and second, they are also interested in monitoring their movements. Even the Anti-Theft Administration itself has put a lot of spies inside, and they can get up with it, and they themselves are worried about accidents! Quan Yun nodded.
"Well, in that case, you go back and discuss with the queen, there are many good players in her Jiying Palace, you can send some people in, those people are more powerful than the county, and joining in can make this Tianwu Dart Xingjianghu more breathing, and secondly, the force value has also been greatly improved, the people in the queen's Jiying Hall have not been in the official palace, although they are eating the court's money, but in the eyes of outsiders, they are still scattered in the rivers and lakes."
"Yes, I'll go back to the queen." Quan Yun nodded repeatedly.
After talking about these pacification and suppression of bandits, Qin Feng changed his words and talked to Quan Yun about the current war.
"Shoufu, this year's battle has been fought so far, even if it is over, Qin Huangma Yue has already retracted to Yongdu, winter is coming soon, the weather is freezing, the snow is all over the sky, and it is no longer suitable to use soldiers. But after forcing Yongdu, the blockade of Yongdu was to be carried out immediately, and the army was about to go on the road for half a month. ”
"Your Majesty, is there a quasi-statement on the other side of the Luoying Mountain Range?" Kwon Yun asked.
"Guo Jiuling has already sent a thousand faces back to tell me a few days ago. It has already begun over there, Bian Wushuang has already negotiated the conditions with the Chu State, and the immigration has begun. Qin Feng smiled: "The 300,000 Qin army families will all be moved to Anyang County to settle down, at the latest at the end of this month, Ma Yue will be hit on the head again, and at that time, the morale of the people in Yongdu will drop to a new low." ”
"Bian Wushuang, can we believe him completely?"
"Of course, I can't completely trust him, but as long as we are always so strong, he is a tiger, I can come down." Qin Feng smiled and said: "Let Chu State raise these 300,000 people for us first, sooner or later it will be ours, Qinghe County will be abandoned without these 300,000 people, but we can't take care of so many places for a while, we will be able to get what we can get in our hands, and we will close the camp first." ”
"This is another big burden for the Chu State." Kwon Yun smirked.
"It doesn't matter, we can give them a loan, well, Shoufu, after this matter is revealed, you have to send someone to Chu Ting to interrogate you strictly, you have to be angry, but you can coerce Chu State, through this matter, we will always have to get a little benefit from Chu State." This Bian Wushuang is still our enemy on the bright side, is it unreasonable for the Chu State to accept our enemies and not give us a little explanation? Qin Feng said sternly.
"That's natural. When the time comes, the old minister will definitely send an official with words like a knife. Quan Yun laughed, "Let's eat them and take some away." Bian Wushuang arrived in the Chu State, once he mastered the Jingchu defense line, we had to let him attack the Qi State without stopping, and then attack. ”
"That's the truth. The defense line of the Chu State has been stabilized, with the foundation of the Chu State, if they specialize in internal affairs, the strength will naturally recover quickly, and we will naturally let them keep consuming, not only consuming themselves, but also consuming the strength of the Qi people. When the time comes, I must help Bian Wushuang win a few battles, so that Min Ruoying's heart will be more stopped, and let him think that he has made the right move. ”
"Your Majesty is wise, and only your Majesty's majesty can subdue a hero like Bian Wushuang." Quan Yun sent a sycophant at the right time.
"You don't have to slap my ass." Qin Feng smiled and said: "Next, the political hall is still busy, in addition to the things you said before, our army will spend the winter outside Yongdu City next, these cotton clothes, quilts, heating charcoal, etc., must be prepared in advance and transported on time, I don't want my soldiers to be reduced because of these." ”
"Your Majesty rest assured."
