The bus dealer said crookedly: "I don't dare to ask for ......."

Qin Lei commanded, and Shi Kang called a knife and pen official to come in, and the knife and pen officer laid out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and listened to Qin Lei's narration intently. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Zhuo Futai: Maitreya is in chaos, Xiangfan is ruined, now a hundred wastes are waiting to be revived, and people with lofty ideals are waiting for their ambitions to show their ambitions, there are Xiangyang celebrities and celebrities who are obsessed with business books, good talent and beauty, sex and sovereignness, and loyalty and purity, which can be cited as filial piety in this season, and enter Beijing in autumn, and return to the snow ...... Xiangyang."

The knife and pen officer took the pen and wrote down the justice described by Qin Lei, and respectfully presented it to Qin Lei. Qin Lei took a look, then took the wolf hair handed over by Shi Dang, and signed his name "Yutian".

The bus dealer knelt on the ground, crying silently.

Qin Lei asked the knife and pencil to fold the paper, put it in an envelope, and handed it to the bus dealer to continue. Seeing him trembling and holding the envelope, Qin Lei heard the words and said: "Mr. Bus, don't be too excited, if you really want to be a serious Xiangyang Taishou but you still have to pass the imperial court, it depends on your own efforts." ”

The bus merchant said gratefully: "I can have a chance to give it a go, the merchant book has already been inscribed in the five, how can I not know what to do, and it will be the death of the prince." ”

Qin Lei said with a smile: "The all-powerful military and political commander of the Lone King appoints wartime officials, so you first go to Xiangyang to be the power of the Taishou for a period of time, and take over the resettlement of the returnees there. ”

Naturally, the bus dealer asked respectfully, "Who is the position of Standing Discussion handed over?" Qin Lei smiled a little reluctantly: "You don't have to worry about this, go to Zhuo Futai to take up a job." ”

The bus merchant respectfully kowtowed three times before bowing and withdrawing.

After he left, Qin Lei closed his eyes weakly and asked Shi Dare softly, "Who is next?" ”

Shi Dang said bitterly: "Xue Naiying." Lord, let's stop here today, your body can't bear it anymore. ”

Qin Lei waved his hand and smiled weakly: "Don't worry, it'll be fine when you go back and sleep for three days and three nights." Tell him and come back in half an hour. As he spoke, closing his eyes and falling asleep, Shi Dang gently covered Qin Lei with a thin blanket, and then tiptoed out, covered the door, and the room finally quieted down, only a slight snoring sound.

Qin Lei is a person who refuses to treat himself badly, and he is also very good at arranging the work of his subordinates, it is the first time that he is so tired as now. But he must be like this, even if his health is not good, he must persevere, because after returning to Beijing, he will face the first real battle in his life, the Taiwei, the prime minister, the emperor, the Eastern Qi, the Southern Chu, and even the crown prince, these are all things he will face. It is no longer the asymmetrical battle of the South, this time, he will be in a weak position, and it can be said that every step must be on thin ice, otherwise he will fall into the abyss from which he will never recover.

He must arrange the affairs of the south as well as possible, so as to ensure that when the struggle in the Central Capital is the most difficult, the south will give him a steady stream of help, and will not become the enemy's weakness to attack him.

He must also prepare himself for the struggle after entering Beijing, whether it is the military strength to protect himself or the officials who fight in the temple, he must have a meticulous arrangement, so as not to be overstretched and make mistakes in his busyness. These things need to be done by him personally, and no one else can replace them.

When Qin Lei woke up, it was already dark outside, he rubbed his face, sobered up his chaotic thoughts, and remembered that he probably fell asleep from time to time, and it was almost time outside, right? He just wanted to get angry, but he immediately realized their kindness, sighed lightly, and got up with a smile.

After sleeping and feeling much better, he walked slowly to the door, gently pushed the door, and Shi Kang, who was waiting outside, followed. Qin Lei patted the hand that Kaishi dared to help up, and scolded with a smile: "Lao Tzu is not yet seventy or eighty. ”

Shi Dang followed behind Qin Lei with a sneer, and then heard him say, "Call Xue Naiying to have dinner together." Shi Dang hurriedly responded.

The restaurant is next door, and the rice is cooked by Yunshang and Ruolan themselves, and he is now weak and has no appetite, so he is all peaceful and light dishes to warm his body.

After eating a few bites casually, Qin Lei put down his chopsticks and said to Xue Naiying, who was eating carefully: "Gu asked the kitchen to add a few dishes, you eat slowly, but Gu can't see the meat." As he spoke, he got up, Xue Naiying was just about to get up, but was stopped by Qin Lei, and said with a smile: "You eat slowly until you are full, otherwise Lone will not be able to go." He said and went out slowly.

Shi Dang sent him back to the room, and then came back to eat with Xue Naiying, and at this time the kitchen had already sent a few plates of meat dishes, with fish and meat, and the aroma was attractive. Shi Dang took the rice handed by Xue Naiying, scooped some gravy into it, and took a big bite of the rice.

Xue Naiying wanted to hurry up and eat a few bites, but was stopped by Shi Dang, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Since the prince let you eat until you are full, Lord Xue should use more." Xue Naiying was only half full, and when he heard this, he sat down again, served another bowl of rice, and said with a smile: "The rules of officialdom have always been like this, and I can't change them for a while." ”

Shi Dang smiled and stopped talking, and after picking up two bowls of rice, he got up to say goodbye and returned to his post. Xue Naiying looked at his departing back a little stunned, shook his head, and didn't know how to describe the feelings in his heart.

No matter how he described it, when he saw Qin Lei again, his respect for Qin Lei was more from the heart. Qin Lei was still leaning on the recliner, the thin blanket was on his lap, and when he saw him come in, he smiled: "Can Naying eat?" ”

Xue Naiying said respectfully: "I'm really full." Hearing that he was interesting, Qin Lei smiled and said, "That's good, sit down, let's talk." Shi Dang came in with a tea tray, served tea to Xue Naiying, and went out through the door.

After a few words of gossip, Qin Lei got to the point, and said softly: "King Gu transferred all the rights of the canal to your canal name, although he is still a fourth-grade official, but his power is no longer comparable to that of ordinary prefects, don't let Gu down." ”

The so-called drum does not need a heavy hammer, how could Xue Naiying, a clear-minded character, not understand what Qin Lei meant. In the past few months of the great turmoil in the south, shipping has been interrupted, and now the canal has been reopened, and most of the tax cards in Shannan and Jiangbei provinces have been cancelled, and only taxes have been collected in Xiangyang and Tangzhou, and merchants from the north and south have naturally flocked to it. Although ninety percent of miscellaneous taxes have been cut, the canal revenues of the two provinces have not increased but declined. As the only canal south division in the south that can legally collect taxes, it naturally became important all of a sudden.

With a lot of power and a lot of money, Qin Lei can't help but worry that an official he has high hopes for will be co-opted and corrupted, or even willingly degenerate.

Xue Naiying bowed his head and said: "I will live up to the trust of the prince, be conscientious, and be cautious." ”

Qin Lei stretched out his hand to help him, and said with a smile: "Well said, conscientious, cautious and self-controlled, as long as you can really do these eight words, it seems that you will not be bad if you practice King Kong, and you can get out of the mud without being black." ”

Xue Naiying got up at this time and said humbly: "My subordinates remember the teachings of the prince. ”

Nodding, Qin Lei said slowly: "In the plan of the lonely king, there will be two yamen in charge of the canal in the future, one is your canal south division, which is responsible for taxes and inspection of bandits, and the other is the Qinghe yamen, which is responsible for the dredging and maintenance of the canal, and even the expansion. Did you write it down? ”

Xue Naiying said respectfully: "Subordinates remember. He was a little curious: "Will the Qinghe Yamen be built in imitation of the Fuxing Yamen?" ”

Qin Lei took a sip of tea, cleared his throat and said, "The Qinghe Yamen will be established in imitation of the Fuxing Yamen, but the number of shareholders is very small, that is, five or six. Said with a somewhat self-deprecating smile: "This has to be the lonely king to return to Beijing to have an eyebrow, it's too early to talk about it." You don't have to worry about the affairs of the Qinghe Yamen, you just need to take care of the Canal Division," after a pause, Qin Lei said in an accentuated tone: "Cracking down on water bandits along the way and clearing the local private tax cards are the top priorities of your errand, and there must be no slackness." ”

Xue Naiying hurriedly responded, and Qin Lei asked with a smile: "How about it, the two thousand sailors that Gu gave you are still easy to use, right?" ”

Xue Naiying said with an incredulous expression: "What kind of immortal technique did the prince use to make those Jingzhou guards' soldiers become so honest?" "Qin Lei arrested 5,000 Jingzhou guards outside Qingcui Villa that day, and according to Qin Youcai's opinion, he was released after a few days. But Qin Lei disagreed, these people were played by the government like this, they must be full of resentment, plus they are used to dancing with knives and guns, and they will not do anything else to make a living, if they are released rashly, it will be like releasing thousands of vicious dogs, which is enough to make the officials of the two provinces busy and break their heads.

Fortunately, Qin Lei had already thought about the way of these people before arresting them, and he first threw those soldiers to the Zhennan Army and practiced for two months. By the time the two months of arduous and even tortured drills were over, the aura of soldiers on these guys was gone, and they were repeatedly brainwashed by the 'instructors' sent by Qin Lei, and they had long forgotten their dissatisfaction with the imperial court and became supporters of the imperial court again.

Qin Lei appeared at the right time, announcing that he would recruit river guards from these people, with a monthly salary of three taels, double salaries during the holidays, red envelopes at the end of the year, and would take out one-thousandth of the annual canal income to set up a special pension pension, for those who died in the line of duty or became disabled, and for each sailor who was honorably discharged at the age of 45 to issue a lifelong pension.

This kind of pie-in-the-sky good thing, naturally no one wants to miss it, and they have enthusiastically signed up. After some selection, the four thousand years old are not too old, the body is not weak, and the character is not bad. The remaining hundreds, who are old, weak, sick and disabled, can only be sent home with travel expenses and a year's salary. After all, Qin Lei is not doing charity, he just follows his own philosophy, so that everyone involved in it can share the benefits brought by rapid development, and those who can't contribute have to say sorry.

As for the leaders of the bully army who were notorious in Jingzhouwei, they had already been pulled out by the Zhennan Army and killed cleanly, so they could only go and share with Lord Yama.

Qin Lei divided the remaining 4,000 people into two teams, one part was under the command of the Canal Division, which was responsible for the arrest of thieves and clear cards, and the other part belonged to the future Qinghe Yamen, which was responsible for escorting merchant ships and cargo ships. After these people generally understood their errands, Qin Lei handed out a bronze medal by himself, and asked them to hang it around their necks and carry it close to their bodies.

In addition to the name of each person, this bronze plaque also has ten bone joints. Then let the 'instructors' teach these people to memorize the five disciplines and ten attentions, and wait until everyone is ripe, Qin Lei told the sailors that as long as they violate a note, according to the severity of the situation, the bronze medal will be broken off one or more joints, and if a discipline is violated, the bronze medal will be confiscated, whether all the joints are broken, or the bronze medal is confiscated, it means that they are expelled from the sailors, not only the welfare treatment is not related to them, but also may be subject to severe sanctions.

Xue Naiying admired Qin Lei's method of endangerment, but he was also worried, and pondered: "The prince is benevolent and righteous to the canal division and the sailors, but his subordinates are afraid that they will not know what to do, and they will do some things that deceive the superiors and subordinates, and bend the law for bribes. ”

Qin Lei smiled faintly and said: "I might as well tell you that there are countless ears and eyes hidden on the canal, they are either sailors, or business travelers, or even officials of the Canal Division, or sailors who protect the river, as long as they report and verify, they will sit together." As he spoke, he stared at Xue Naiying with blazing eyes, and said solemnly: "The people left in the south by the Lone King, count your task the heaviest, you can't make mistakes, you know, this is just your starting point." ”

Xue Naiying's heart was first a rin, and then a joy, and he bowed down to be taught.

After saying so much, Qin Lei was also a little tired, and he finally ordered a few words: "As for the revival of the yamen, you just need to remember to help the weak or not to help the strong, and the rest will be nothing, go ahead." ”

Xue Naiying said softly: "The subordinates are retiring, and the prince is taking care." Qin Lei waved his hand, which was a farewell.

When Xue Naiying left, Shi Dang came in and said to Qin Lei, who was already a little speechless: "Lord Wang, it's already time, are the remaining two still summoned?" ”

Qin Lei swallowed his sip of tea and said with a wry smile: "I'm going to leave tomorrow, can't I do it?" Xuanchai Shifang come in. Shi Dang sighed in his heart, he could only obey his fate.

Chai Shifang waited for four hours since the end, but fortunately, Qin Lei arranged for the waiting people to rest in the room first, and served with good tea and food, but he didn't suffer any grievances.

Even if he is really wronged, he will not be dissatisfied in the slightest. Because of his status as a regular discussion, the five gates of Tangzhou, especially the Chai family, have long been famous all over the world. Especially in the last crisis, he stepped forward and led the crowd to fight, which was a great honor and benefit for his family. Now as long as it is in the two southern provinces, as long as the Chai family wants to do something, not only no one will stumble and drag them back, but there will be countless people who will take the initiative to help, and there are countless people who want to follow and cooperate. It can be said that he has both face and lining,

Therefore, he is the biggest beneficiary of the revival of the yamen so far, and he is also the most resolute supporter, so why not wait for a few days for the founder of this yamen and the grand backstage to summon him?

When Chai Shifang saw Qin Lei curled up on the recliner with a thin and pale face, his eyes turned red, and he said in a dumb voice: "Lord Wang, you have to take care of your body, the south can't live without you." ”

Qin Lei scolded with a smile: "The dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth, and the lonely king can live one hundred and eighteen." ”

Chai Shifang hurriedly slapped himself on the lips, and said in fear: "The villain should be damned...... Qin Lei beat his spirits and waved his hand: "Today, the lonely king is a little mentally weak, let's make a long story short." Know that the lonely king never cares about the loss of words. ”

Although Chai Shifang was very nervous when he saw the prince, his kindness has not changed, unlike others who are eager to pat more sycophants and show more tongue, so that the prince can remember. He honestly sat on the stool and waited for Qin Lei to speak, and refused to say a word of nonsense.

Qin Lei nodded with satisfaction, curled up into the recliner, found a more comfortable position, closed his eyes and said, "You have always been very good, this time it is very good." ”

Hearing the prince's praise, Chai Shifang was overjoyed in his heart, but he said briefly: "Thank you for the prince's praise." He closed his mouth.

Qin Lei didn't have the energy to make any expressions, but said flatly: "For those who perform well, the Lone King naturally has to give praise, and for those who are particularly good, they must be specially praised." So you will be the head of the council, and you will have the other two standing seats, and you will divide it in the next council, and you will divide it among your one hundred and forty families, and don't care what happens to the three of you. ”

Chai Shifang listened, and said in his heart, in this way, the one hundred and forty small scholars in the family will occupy three standing seats, and they can completely compete with the three families in two seats. Although their right to speak has not changed at the General Assembly, after all, the General Assembly is only twice a year, and it is usually the Council that has the final say. In doing so, Qin Lei handed over the daily operation of the entire Fuxing Yamen to him.

Thinking of the tens of millions of huge sums of money and all the wealthy gentry in the south, they had to listen to themselves, Chai Shifang had a ball of legs, knelt down and said: "Lord Wang, the villain has weak legs when he thinks about it, and he really can't do it." ”
