Bingyi, who fell to the ground and was still convulsing, began to have dilated pupils in his eyes. The rest of the black-clothed men were all silent, and their bodies trembled slightly.

The man in black changed his surroundings for a while, and then said slowly: "The sin of this defeat is in Bingyi, not you; Do not be afraid. As long as you are faithful and do not commit foolish crimes, I will not embarrass you. The man in black said in a flat voice: "Since Xu Wugui has fallen into Chen Sheng's hands, it is estimated that he will not be able to get the things back." It's useless for you to stay here, and when you return to Linzi and stand by, there will be other tasks to arrange. ”

The rest of the men in black bowed down to receive the order. The man in black pinned his hands behind his back, turned around and slowly walked out of the cave, exhaled, and muttered to himself: "The nail has been nailed down, and what effect it will have can only depend on the will of heaven." ”

……

Since the appointment was issued, the county of Minzhong County has advanced by land and water, and finally arrived in Minzhong County after walking for almost three months. On the way, the adults were not adapted, and they were "occasionally infected with minor diseases" four times, so it is normal to not walk fast. In this regard, Ying Huo wrote a lot of letters to Chen Sheng along the way to explain his reasons, and also asked a lot about the construction of Minzhong County. After Chen Sheng received Ying Huo's letter, he was also very conscientious when he replied, detailing the various construction situations when he monopolized the military and political power in Fujian.

In fact, both of them understand the deeper meaning of these conversations. Ying Huo asked if Chen Sheng had finished planting his henchmen in Fujian, and whether he, the county man who was doing miscellaneous things, should have arrived. And Chen Sheng's reply is even more interesting, on the one hand, he said that there are many affairs in Fujian, and the handling is complicated, and he urgently needs the assistance of Lord Juncheng, and on the other hand, he hinted that Lord Juncheng, since he is sick, then please recuperate with peace of mind, he is in Fujian, don't worry about Yunyun.

So after a period of correspondence between the letters, Ying Huo, who had already staggered over like a snail, also walked to the border of central Fujian. Win Huo stepped into Fujian with his feet, and Li Shenhou also appeared in the boundary of Fujian. However, Ying Huo walked slowly all the way, while Li Shen was in a hurry for a while. The few horses he sat on had lost a lot of weight from the gallop during this time.

"It's funny, these two guys actually came to Minzhong at the same time." Picking up the two books in his hand, Chen Sheng raised his hand at Li Zuoche and said, "Shouldn't we prepare a welcome ceremony tomorrow to welcome these two adults from Xianyang?" ”

Seeing the evil smile on Chen Sheng's face. Li Zuoche also smiled faintly, and he said: "Yinghuo is very smart, and you can know his smoothness from the letters he wrote to you before. In Fujian, he must be a good helper to do his best, and he will not stumble on you at will, if the relationship is handled properly, he will also be a good ally of adults in the future, there is a royal family to help in the court, and there will naturally be many nobles in the court in the future. But Li Shen is different, his father and brother are both important ministers of the Great Qin, and he is a concubine, his eyes are above the top, and he has a reputation in Xianyang, and when he comes to Fujian, he won't lick a little mess for you, I'm afraid it's not possible. ”

Most of the letters written by Ying Huo to Chen Sheng were ghostwritten by Li Zuoche. Chen Sheng has never had any rules for these official letters. Even the emperor's recital, he first said a vernacular meaning, and then Li Zuoche ghostwrote and condensed it. Otherwise, if a piece of music goes up, it will at least exceed hundreds of catties of bamboo, and the emperor will have a headache when he sees it.

"Banquets and welcomes are a must. And the bigger, the better. Li Zuoche said seriously: "Just leave this matter to me to prepare, adults don't need to be distracted, government affairs are important." ”

Chen Sheng has been really busy lately. In the entire Minzhong County, all kinds of military and political affairs, large and small, will be presented to Chen Sheng's hands. However, after a period of busyness, the results achieved by the large and small transformations in central Fujian also made Chen Sheng very pleased.

Since the last time he had an in-depth conversation with Li Zuoche, Chen Sheng understood where the bottleneck of implementing the reform in Fujian was. So he no longer forced the implementation of the Shiwu Lianzai and the township system, but adopted the method of inducement and slowly tried to do it.

Chen Sheng would pull out some of the villages that were willing to be renovated according to the Qin law, and give them to these villages for cultivation, and at the same time exempt them from taxes for ten years. The title is a scarce thing in Minzhong County, and only the former Minyue King or Dongou King has the treatment of knighthood with heavy troops.

Ordinary people, although they know that they can be canonized after making meritorious contributions in the army, but if farmers want to get a knighthood, they must pay a certain amount of grain for the country to be able to obtain a certain title. But no one has ever heard that you only need to obey the Qin law to be knighted. Although it is a small title. But in the township, the status and treatment of those who have a title and those who do not have a title are different. After the policy was promoted, it received a good response in all parts of central Fujian. But in this way, it is not without side effects. That is, under Chen Sheng's generous pen, the finances of Minzhong County are not just as simple as a deficit, if it were not for Ling Suyun's backing, it would have gone bankrupt long ago, and even the officials at all levels in Fujian could not afford it. Whenever he thinks of this, Chen Sheng always has a strange feeling. It feels like he is eating Ling Suyun's soft rice, and he is shameless enough to bring hundreds of thousands of people from a county to the big family of the Ling family.

From the initial investment of 200,000 gold, and finally increased to 500,000 gold, the Ling family's family was almost squeezed dry by the huge bloodsucking worm of Minzhong County. Fortunately, the investment has also seen the dawn of returns. The saltworks, tea mountains and other profiteering industries in Minzhong County all have members of the Ling family. Moreover, the Ling family also obtained the emperor's monopoly rights on salt in Ba County and Qianzhong County. It is conceivable that in less than ten years, the Ling family will be able to recoup the cost of these monopolies. As long as Great Qin has a long period of stability, the glory and wealth of the Ling family are indispensable. The biggest benefits don't stop there. Catching Chen Sheng's line is equivalent to tying up with the prince of Fusu, and the Ling family's position in the empire will become more consolidated. Ba Qing, the head of the Ling family who was far away in Xianyang, already felt that his investment in Minzhong County had been exchanged for certain benefits.

Chen Sheng was the county guard of Minzhong personally appointed by the emperor, and the Ling family supported Minzhong, that is, supported Chen Sheng, which directly meant support and loyalty to the emperor. In order to repay the Ling family's support to the empire, the emperor gave a banquet to Baqing in the palace, and invited many dignitaries and wealthy families in Xianyang to accompany him. For a while, the Bashu Ling family was in the limelight in Xianyang.
