Chapter 296: The Capable County Guard
When Liu Xingwen said this, Qin Feng breathed a long sigh of relief, he could tolerate those little tricks played by the five families above the army, because in his opinion, it was not worth mentioning, he had the means to slowly resolve this means in the future, but he must not tolerate being strangled by the neck above the economy.

He is different from Mo Luo, the backbone of the Taiping Army is from the Great Chu Border Army, has received formal military education, and has a deep understanding of the impact of economy and logistics on the combat effectiveness of an army.
How fierce is the Western Qin army, in the combat effectiveness of the army, has always been above the Western Chu, this situation has continued until Zuo Lixing took office, but even Zuo Lixing, it took a full eight years to reverse the strategic disadvantage, in the end, what is the basis? Or money.
Although in the era of Zuo Lixing, the combat effectiveness of the western border army of Dachu has been greatly improved.
For so many years, Western Qin has won so many wars against Chu, but it is still blocked west of the Luoying Mountains, and the most fundamental reason is that Western Qin is too poor to fight a large-scale war with Southern Chu.
The Western Qin knew very well that even if they won the war with Western Chu, they would have to go bankrupt, and if they couldn't wait for them to accept everything from Southern Chu, they would be easily swallowed up by Eastern Qi.
The current Shayang County is the Shayang County of the five major families, and the economic lifeline is controlled by the five families, Qin Feng cannot change all this overnight, but he must slowly reverse the situation and change the situation of small head and big limbs.
The influence of the five families in Shayang County cannot be eliminated in a short period of time, clearing the fields, commercial tax reform will only be the first step, as the Taiping army out of Shayang County, with the Taiping army gradually expanding its strength, the corresponding steps will be slowly unfolded.
Qin Feng didn't want to weaken the strength of the five great powers, but he had to ensure that their influence was slowly diluted in the Taiping Army's system, which sounded a bit contradictory, but Qin Feng was confident that he could do it.
The five families came with the intention of resisting, but after Liu Xingwen spoke, they left in a hurry, for them, it would be inevitable to break their wealth. originally thought that the old lady would be angry because he had just left, and the Taiping Army would be fierce, but the old lady's reaction was greatly unexpected by them, they really didn't expect that the old lady would support the Taiping Army so unreservedly, and he did not hesitate to damage the major interests of the Liu family for this. You must know that the other party's move, the biggest loss is undoubtedly the Liu family.
But at the same time of helplessness, there is a trace of excitement, if it is really as Qin Feng said, the Taiping Army walked out of Shayang County to open up a vast world, then the influence of the five major families will also go to the Quartet with the footsteps of the Taiping Army.
The five families of the Yue country also sound like a very good choice.
"Lord Quan, please stay." Looking at Quan Yun, who stood up and was about to leave with the five families, Qin Feng said with a smile.
Hearing Qin Feng's retention, not only Quan Yun was a little stunned, but even the five families turned around in surprise and glanced at Qin Feng who was standing at the door.
"As the county guard of Shayang, Li still has a lot of things to ask." Qin Feng said with a smile: "Deputy Shou Wang, you can send General Liu and them on my behalf!" ā
"Yes, General!" Wang Hou walked up to Liu Xingwen and the others, bowed to each other: "Everyone, please!" ā
Quan Yun walked back a little uneasy, but chose a position farthest away from Qin Feng to sit down, from the Taiping Army into the city, Old Lady Liu left, all his performances clearly showed that he was a member of the Five Great Families, he didn't know what Qin Feng meant by leaving him alone? Discord, provocation, this is too pediatric, right? He is not a three-year-old child, and the head of the five families is not brainless, so how can he be easily fooled?
But judging from Qin Feng's performance just now, the combination of rigidity and softness, and there is no lack of appeasement in the threat, it can be said that it is appropriate, and it does not look like that kind of rude person!
Seeing Quan Yun sitting so far away from him, as if he was deliberately drawing a line with himself, Qin Feng smiled slightly and sat down noncommittally.
"Quan Junshou, I have been in Shayang County for a long time, and I have more or less some understanding of you, if Mrs. Liu is the first person I admired after entering Shayang County, then you will be ranked second. You are the second person I admire. As soon as he opened his mouth, what Qin Feng said surprised Quan Yun.
"General Li is falsely praised, and he can't afford such a compliment." Quan Yun waved his hand again and again.
"I'm not touting the right guard, nor am I intentionally trying to win you over, I'm a person who has always been straightforward, I don't have anything to say, I won't go around the corner, if I don't like you, then I will roll my eyes at you." Qin Feng smiled and said, "Lord Quan, do you know why I say I admire you?" ā
"Quan really doesn't know." Quan Yun shook his head.
"Others only saw you in front of Mrs. Liu, and groveled in front of the five families, but what I saw was that the government of Shayang County was harmonious, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment." Qin Feng said lightly: "This is all the credit of Lord Quan!" ā
Quan Yun was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to say it so bluntly, and his heart jumped suddenly, "This, this is all the credit of Old Lady Liu, what I did is really nothing!" ā
"Wrong." Qin Feng shook his head, "Old Lady Liu's Dinghai Divine Needle is naturally there, but the problems in Shayang County are actually quite serious. I have never seen a place where the land annexation has reached such a serious point, the gap between the rich and the poor is so large, for other places, I am afraid that there will be many contradictions long ago, and even extremely serious conflicts, but what surprises me is that Shayang County has not, but is quite calm, here, I have to say that Lord Quan's skill is clever, just to deal with the contradictions in the middle, although it is only to delay the contradictions in the future, but to be able to do this, it is quite rare. Over the years, presumably the county guard has not been less splinted, right? ā
Hearing such considerate words, Quan Yun's heart was first warm, then sour, and he almost fell into tears, over the years, he naturally suffered from countless splints, on the one hand, to maintain the interests of the five families, on the other hand, to maintain the stability of Shayang County, the difficulty of which is not enough for outsiders.
He was raised by Mrs. Liu, without Mrs. Liu, he was still in Yuejing City as his unknown petty official, and after becoming the county guard of Shayang County, he naturally wanted to repay Mrs. Liu's kindness, and he had to do both in order to safeguard the interests of the big family and the stability of the entire Shayang County.
He's done a great job over the years, and of course, he's broken for it.
Old Lady Liu didn't treat him as an outsider, thinking that everything he did was what he should do, and as for how he did it, Old Lady Liu didn't care much. It was the first time he had heard such thoughtful words.
"I ......" he opened his mouth and swallowed back the words in his stomach, but his eyes were a little red.
Qin Feng walked to his side and patted him on the shoulder cordially: "Quan Junshou, don't worry, I won't ask you to alienate the Liu family, the old lady is your Bole, without him, there would be no you, this kind of kindness naturally has to be repaid." ā
Hearing the other party say this, Quan Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
"The days ahead are still long, and you'll see slowly." Qin Feng said with a smile: "I need your outstanding governance ability to vigorously develop the economy of Shayang County, and at the same time, I also need your special bonding ability to balance the interests of the big family and Shayang County as a whole." Of course, I hope that little by little you will use your talents for the benefit of everyone, not just for those few families. Change takes time, and I'm willing to give you that time. ā
Looking at Quan Yun, Qin Feng said meaningfully: "You have to understand one thing, your future is definitely not comparable to them." ā
"Thank you for your attention, Quan...... Quan did everything he could. Quan Yun stood up and bowed deeply to Qin Feng, the other party could not only understand his difficulties, but also be reasonable, which made him quite moved.
"It's a long time coming!" Qin Feng laughed, saw Wang Hou walk in, and said, "Quan Junshou, I asked Wang Hou to help you, not to elbow you, but to let the two of you work together." ā
"Of course, Wang is quite impressed by the ability of the right county to govern." Wang Hou nodded again and again. "I entered the county guard's mansion, just to be a good housekeeper for the general, as for the rest, the right county guard rest assured, I will never stretch out my hand."
"Okay, let's get down to business, Quan Junshou, now that the five families have agreed to clean up the fields, there will be no other pressure on this matter, no one knows the specific situation of Shayang County better than you, you tell us, how much can be cleaned up this time?" Qin Feng knocked on the table with a smile and said, "Is this related to our future jobs?" ā
Quan Yun pondered for a moment, "If the five families really withdraw from these hidden fields and hidden households without reservation, it is roughly estimated that there should be millions of acres of land and tens of thousands of hidden households. Every year, the government treasury will have an extra income of hundreds of thousands of taels and more than one million quintals of grain. ā
"That's a lot of money." Qin Feng exclaimed: "A year is so much, you can think about how much wealth these people in Shayang have accumulated over the years." No wonder when I caught Liu Xingwen and them, I opened my mouth, and people didn't bring counteroffers at all, and the big amount of love in my opinion, where is it, it's a drop in the bucket! ā
"This is still a small head, and the big head is still on the side of the commercial tax!" Wang Houdao: "The business of Shayang County is almost completely controlled by these few companies, and the extremely low commercial tax is the focus of these companies' income. ā
"Take your time, the knife can't go down too steeply!" Qin Feng smiled: "Don't move this piece for the time being, when we take every step outward and find a new profit point for them, we will use a knife to cut a little bit of their interests, so that they can't see any losses, and we can get more income smoothly." ā
Hearing Qin Feng say this, Quan Yun let out a long breath, he was most afraid that Qin Feng would come to one size fits all like he had threatened the five masters before, and it would be a big trouble. (To be continued.) )
