Hearing that the entire landlord class was going to be stabbed, Fan Wenqin had two big heads and felt very tricky.

Increasing taxes, measuring land, reducing rents and interest are all cutting meat from the gentry and landlords, Fan Wenqin can be sure that after he is appointed as the prefect, he will definitely win the title of "three feet high" and fall into infamy.

However, these are all tasks assigned by Wang Kefan himself, not only can not shirk, but also must be completed with quality and quantity, and do the best possible. Otherwise, even if his freshly baked Jiangxi political participation is over, there will be no way out in his career.

Fan Wenqin became a third-grade member with a lifter, and when his heart was high, he had to hug Wang Kefan's thigh no matter what, so he had to accept the order head-on.

He didn't know the bottom of his heart, although he deliberately covered it up, there were still some traces between his words and expression, Wang Kefan knew that he was making trouble, but he pretended not to see it, and assigned tasks one after another, with very specific requirements.

These policies are difficult to implement, of course Wang Kefan knows, but compared with the real land reform, these policies are much milder, under the double pressure of the government and the army, it can be completely realized, if Fan Wenqin can't complete the task, he will have to be sent home.

This is an exam for Fan Wenqin, or a probationary period, if Fan Wenqin can pass guò, he will become a member of the Chuxun system, Wang Kefan will continue to support him, if he can't pass guò, he will hang the head of a town martial artist and be a puppet.

For Wang Kefan, the Jinggangshan area is a test field for "land reform" and a pilot project for summing up lessons and lessons. Of course, the black cauldron has to be carried by Fan Wenqin.

China at this time was a self-sufficient agrarian society, the main body of society was composed of landlords and peasants, there was no modern industry, commerce was not developed, and as for the maritime trade, it was far from quenching the thirst...... If Wang Kefan wanted to defeat the Manchus, he had to rely on the strength of the landlords and peasants, let the landlords contribute money and grain, and let the peasants contribute their efforts, whether they were willing or not.

Wang Kefan made a clear request. The Jinggangshan area will provide 50,000 taels of silver in military salaries next year and bear part of the military rations, that is to say, if Wang Kefan takes away 2,000 Ji'an volunteers, the food and salary of this army will basically be provided by the Jinggangshan area. Don't have to dig into Wang Kefan's pocket.

In addition, Wang Kefan also deliberately emphasized the construction of Jinggangshan. In case the shape shì is unfavorable. It is possible to retreat to the mountains to fight guerrillas.

"What does this mean? Our army already occupies the land of the three counties, what else do you want to do with that broken ravine? Fan Wenqin didn't understand.

"The Qing army will invade Hunan at any time, Jiangxi is not stable, and there may be repeated in this area of Ji'an." Wang Kefan explained.

Fan Wenqin was stunned, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Since this is the case." I'll be the prefect of the Destruction Gate once and try to find a way to raise another 10,000 taels of military salaries for the military gate......"

In both public and private, Fan Wenqin had to support the Battle of Huguang.

In terms of personal relationship, Wang Kefan is the leader of the Chuxun group. Whether he can win the Battle of Hunan is related to the interests of everyone in the Chuxun Group, Fan Wenqin has already been on the boat, and Wang Kefan will be both prosperous and lossy, of course, he must support the Battle of Huguang.

From a business point of view, the Battle of Huguang is closely related to Jiangxi, the Jinggangshan area is close to Hunan, if the Battle of Huguang fails, these counties in the Jinggangshan area will not be able to be saved, Fan Wenqin has just become the prefect for a few days, and he has to go back to Jinggangshan before he has enough official addiction, and this consequence is really unacceptable to him.

As a prefect, it is very easy to deal with a single gentry landlord, just engage in a frame-up, fishing and law enforcement, etc., you can easily swallow the other party's property, plus other ways to make money, the prefect wants to make money is not too simple.

Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver - the situation of the Ming Dynasty is similar.

Of course, this kind of gray income originally had nothing to do with official affairs, and most of the metropolis fell into the pockets of the prefect's personal pockets, but Wang Kefan's affairs were half public and half private, and it was more related to Fan Wenqin's own official position, so he also contributed the gray income.

"Don't go too far, those who have won the hearts of the people since ancient times will win the world, if they lose the hearts of the people, I am afraid that there will be chaos." Wang Kefan suddenly realized that something was wrong, Fan Wenqin seemed to have just said this.

"When the national crisis is at the head, there should be money to contribute and force, and they can't help it!" Fan Wenqin gritted his teeth, murderous, and after the change of thinking, he quickly went from one extreme to another.

Wang Kefan smiled, he didn't stop him, if you want to start a war with the powerful gentry class, you need a sharp spirit, anyway, there are only these three counties in the Jinggangshan area, you might as well let Fan Wenqin let it go.

"As long as these counties are not captured by the Qing army, the lower officials will definitely be able to raise enough food and salary, but there is one more thing that is very difficult, the lower officials are powerless, please help the military!" Fan Wenqin also had a request, but he didn't say it directly, but turned a corner.

"Tell me what's going on."

"The lower officials have a few yamen to set up, but there are no available people in their hands, for fear of delaying the major affairs of the military gate, please appoint subordinate officials to the military gate to help me."

Regardless of the prefect or the military preparation road, there are subordinate officials below, such as the same governor, push the official or something, which is equivalent to the deputy subordinate of the prefect, the lack of civilian officials in the Ji'an volunteers, and even the prefect of the three counties, the county cheng, the lord and so on have not been gathered, and even Fan Wenqin also serves as the county commander of Longquan County.

These subordinate officials have their own responsibilities and have their own roles in administrative management, and a large number of shortages will affect the normal operation of the yamen.

"Since it's the person you use, of course it's up to you, go back and discuss it with Liu Shu and Liu Zongbing, make a list and report it, there is no big deviation, I will allow it!" There was no one in Wang Kefan's pocket, so he simply waved his hand and delegated personnel power.

"Qiqi Junmen, I have a few clan brothers, relatives and friends, quite capable, known as a talent for politics, but suddenly promoted, I am afraid that it will attract ......criticism" Fan Wenqin was overjoyed, his Fan family is a wealthy family, and there are many scholars among his children, and they can arrange an official position, even a fifth-grade or sixth-grade official, which is simply a step to the sky.

"Juxian doesn't avoid relatives, of course it doesn't matter, but you can't snub the gentry of Ji'an Mansion, you can discuss it with Liu Shu." Wang Kefan must prop up Fan Wenqin's forces so that local officials in Ji'an Province do not become bigger.

None of the officials of the Ming Dynasty will serve in their hometowns, but in the case of the Jinggangshan area, there will definitely be many local gentry as officials, so Fan Wenqin, an outsider, has to be balanced, so as not to become an independent kingdom......

That night, Fan Wenqin arranged a banquet again and invited the leading figures in Longquan County to wash the dust for Wang Kefan.

When the national crisis was at hand, Wang Kefan didn't want to participate in this kind of welcome and send-off activity, but considering Fan Wenqin's intentions, he still agreed.

Obviously, Fan Wenqin has the intention of pulling the banner of Tiger Pila, and wants to use Wang Kefan's identity as Admiral Caojiang to support himself in the scene...... This is also a kind of work, and Fan Wenqin must be supported, so that the gentry of Longquan County can see the power behind Fan Wenqin, and when they collect money from them in the future, there will naturally be less resistance.

However, Wang Kefan had no interest in eating and drinking with the gentry, and instructed Fan Wenqin to change the specifications of the banquet, change customs, and be diligent and thrifty......

The best restaurant in Longquan County is Chengfeng Building, which was full of more than 30 gentry and elders and businessmen who gathered around four round tables to fill a hall, waiting for Wang Kefan to arrive.

To their slight surprise, there were no food or drinks on the table, and only a cup of tea in front of each person, which did not look like a feast at all.

"Admiral Cao Jiang has arrived!"

With a shout, Wang Kefan and several other officials walked into the hall, the gentry stood up and saluted, Wang Kefan smiled, bowed his hand, came to his seat, stretched out his hand to everyone and pressed a few times, and asked the gentry to sit down.

Wang Kefan immediately began to speak, starting from the entry of the Gongyi battalion into Jiangxi, to the fire and Zhang Xianbi, the second dozen Ji'an Mansion, the rescue of Tingzhou, the Ganzhou Campaign, and the ...... from military to political affairs, introducing himself in an all-round way, introducing the Gongyi Battalion, and also introducing Fan Wenqin and Liu Shu.

Of course, Wang Kefan also used some Spring and Autumn brushwork, hiding Fan Wenqin's experience of using the title of "Zhenwubo", in his mouth, Fan Wenqin and Liu Shu were both wise and brave heroes of the Qing Dynasty, and won the trust and reuse of Emperor Longwu.

The introduction of the Gongyi battalion is even more important, with a series of outstanding military exploits, strengthen the confidence of these gentry, with such an elite division against the Qing army, will be able to recover the entire territory of Jiangxi, protect the safety of Ji'an Province.

In the last part of his speech, Wang Kefan pleaded with the gentry and businessmen to support the Ming Dynasty and the anti-Qing Dynasty, which received an enthusiastic response from the audience.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the country is at a critical juncture of life and death, and we are waiting for today's gathering to participate in the grand event and work together to resist the Qing Dynasty, but we can't 'eat tight at the front and eat tight at the rear', so I have to wronged everyone today." Wang Kefan said this, and ordered backwards: "Come on, serve the food, let's eat." ”

The young boys of the running hall rushed in, and placed four dishes and one soup, a fish, a bowl of meat, a plate of tofu, a plate of green vegetables, and a pot of fish head soup on each table. The dishes are bigger than the other, but the dishes inside are so simple.

What kind of banquet is this? It's just an ordinary meal! The people present are either rich or expensive, and their meals are much more elaborate than these dishes, and the gentry and businessmen look at each other, not knowing which one this Master Caojiang is singing.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I will replace wine with tea, and I will pay a little respect!" Wang Kefan raised the teacup and took a sip, then sat down to serve the rice with his own hands, slowly sandwiched some meat and vegetables in a big bowl, and then picked it up and ate it.

Let's eat it?! The gentry also packed their meals and ate them, and Wang Kefan served a bowl of soup to several elders, and then said goodbye.

"This town is busy with official business, please use it slowly." Ignoring the gentry's retention, he turned and hurried away. (To be continued......)
