Chapter 1440: Another placement
Deyi Tower was transformed from the main fort of the Yunwuling Military Village in the past. It is independent of other buildings and has always been used to entertain the most noble guests. Today, it is even more vigilant.
Standing at the highest point in the building, you can overlook the entire Yunwu Villa and see the scenery at the foot of the mountain. The fire in the house is bright, and after an ordinary oil lamp is covered with a glass lampshade, it suddenly becomes much brighter. Two or three such lamps illuminate the huge room. This kind of lampshade is now one of the latest luxury goods in the Ming Dynasty. Such things are now the best-selling thing in the Ming Dynasty. Not only are the rich people purchased, but scholars who have a little wealth at home will buy one back with their teeth, not to show off, but to use it to illuminate and read books at night to better protect their eyes. Xiao Hua, the Minister of Rites, became the most hard-working drummer of this thing. In the past, reading and writing was Xiao Hua's most painful thing at night. When he was old, his eyes were naturally not good, but now, a few more such lamps in the house will be as bright as daytime.
Qin Feng has asked the Commerce Department to reduce the price of this glass lampshade, because there are too many people studying in the Ming Dynasty. Basically, young boys have entered school, but the current price is not affordable for everyone.
Liuli Workshop is now studying how to color such lampshades, that is, make them colorful. These colorful lampshades are tailor-made for wealthy families, not for lighting, but for showing off their wealth.
At present, Geng Qiancheng was accompanying Qin Feng to drink in Deyi Building. Wu Teng had already said goodbye in a hurry. Since he had made up his mind to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, he still had too many things to do. He had something to do in his heart, so he could not stay in Yunwu Villa for a moment.
The first day of the Lunar New Year.
This is the timetable given to him by Qin Feng. Qin Feng asked to announce the news to the whole world on the first day of the New Year. There is not much time left for him.
On this day, Qin Feng wanted to disgust Min Ruoying. Guo Jiuling died in Shangjing. Even if Guo Jiuling wanted to die by himself, Qin Feng wanted to exhale the anger in his heart. If you make me uncomfortable, then I will make you have a bad New Year.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty. Wu Teng's surrender will inevitably cause an avalanche effect in Chu State. After Wu Teng, Ning Zhiwen will follow suit immediately. Later, it will be Anyang's turn. This is like a domino. If the first one falls, the rest will fall down one after another." Geng Qiancheng raised his wine glass to Qin Feng: "I wish Your Majesty the land of Great Chu will be returned to the territory of our Ming Dynasty as soon as possible."
The two glasses of glasses clinked together and drank them all in a loud laugh.
"Your Majesty, I have something to do." Geng Qiancheng said.
"Tell me!" Qin Feng held a chopstick of vegetables in his mouth and chewed them slowly.
"This minister has no objection to confer Wu Teng as Xinning Hou, but is it appropriate to put him in Xinning? This is inconsistent with my Ming Dynasty's always employing people?"
"As soon as they surrendered, you moved the people. Isn't this a broken bridge across the river and a staircase on the wall?" Qin Feng smiled and said, "Besides, Wu Teng has done a good job in the New Year in recent years, and people are very high. Xinning surrenders, and the people must be anxious and need people like him to stabilize people's hearts here, so he naturally cannot move them."
Geng Qiancheng nodded thoughtfully.
"Secondly, Wu Teng is older. Even if he stays in Xinning, how many years can he stay? When the number of county treatments that Da Chu responded to his call increased and the overall situation was settled, it would not be too late to mobilize him. At that time, Xinning's people's hearts would be settled. Furthermore, Wu Teng was an extremely smart person, and he took the initiative to propose that he would only be a county magistrate and no longer control the Xinning county soldiers. "
"How do you place Che Zhe and his 10,000 Xinning County soldiers? Adapt?"
"Not to be reorganized for the time being, but to mobilize the entire army." Qin Feng smiled and said, "The reason is the same as the one who placed Wu Teng, transfer Che Zhe to Taoyuan, and return to Wuling to control him, and then transfer Houtu Camp to Xinning. Our Ming Dynasty has no county soldiers. This reason is very sufficient. Lu Feng, the Houtu Camp, does not like to fight for power, is a guy who is content with the status quo. Put it here and Zou Ming will unify the temper, so that it will not cause filth among the generals. At that time, whether it is advancing to the mainland of Chu, or as a side division to attack the northwest of Qi, the two main battle camps will be enough."
"I heard that Lu Feng is so fat that he is not very good now?" Geng Qiancheng laughed.
"I heard that Wu Ling was taught a lesson, and Wu Ling threatened him that if he didn't lose 50 kilograms, he would have to make a piece of rice for barbecue, which scared Fatty Lu. The next time you see him, he would probably lose a lot of weight again. This guy is a toad, so he can poke it before moving."
"Since I'm going to transfer Houtu Camp to come here, I will soon see this strange general." Geng Qiancheng smiled.
Qin Feng shook his head gently: "Xuancheng, I have made other arrangements for you."
Geng Qiancheng was slightly stunned and nodded suddenly. His son Geng Jingming is now the Minister of Revenue in the Ming Dynasty. Logically speaking, it is indeed a bit inappropriate for him to take charge of a county alone. It is the most appropriate thing to go to the capital to be a leisurely Beijing official to enjoy his old age.
"Your Majesty is so careful of the old minister. To be honest, I have indeed had some energy over the years. Now I can go back to the capital and raise it well. Your Majesty, Xixia Jingming has added another grandson to me. It's a bit embarrassing to say that the little guy is almost half a year old. I haven't seen this grandfather yet. When I return to the capital, I have most of my time to play with my grandson."
Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, then coughed dryly and looked at Geng Qiancheng awkwardly.
Looking at Qin Feng's expression, Geng Qiancheng was stunned for a moment, as if things were not what he imagined.
"Your Majesty?" he asked tentatively.
Qin Feng took a sip of wine in concealment, "You may have misunderstood the future. It's too early to go home and play with your grandchildren. As for going to see your new grandson? After the Chinese New Year, how about how many days of vacation I'll give you?"
Geng Qiancheng blinked his eyes and looked at Qin Feng: "Your Majesty, where am I going?"
"Qinghe County!" Qin Fengdao.
"Didn't Huang Guoxin do a good job?" Geng Qiancheng asked strangely.
"It is because he did a great job." Qin Feng sighed: "Qinghe County is in a mess. In the absence of anything, this year he tried his best to open up the road from Luoying Mountains to Anyang, Chu. He worked day and night and ran around. The road was about to be opened, but others were tired. After Wang Lingbo rushed over from Yongdu to treat him, he said that he had to take care of him for at least one year before he could recover his vitality. There was no way, so he could only transfer him back to Beijing to recuperate."
"So that's it!" Geng Qiancheng suddenly realized.
"You have a lot of experience in how to build a good economy in a place, especially in developing business. This is probably something that your Geng family is immersed in their bones?" Qin Feng smiled and said, "You have made great contributions to the current scale of Izumo County, and Qinghe is the next commercial center in the imperial court's plan. You also know that the western region has always been poor, and except for Yongdu, other places are really ugly. Xintong has now become the second largest steel base in the Ming Dynasty and has finally begun to develop, but the area of its radiation is limited after all. I hope that after you go, Qinghe will be the second Izumo County."
Geng Qiancheng thought for a moment: "It is still difficult to compare with Izumo County. After all, Izumo County's geographical location has its unique advantages, and Qinghe cannot compare with it. However, the western region is difficult and the starting point is low, so it is easy to achieve results."
"I believe you can do it well." Qin Feng smiled and said, "The western land will be centered on Qinghe County, Yong County and Xintong County, forming three large economic circles. Where can you go for five years? After five years, I will transfer you to Yong County."
"Don't Yongjun have Zhong Town?" Geng Qiancheng did not expect Qin Feng to think so far.
Qin Feng said: "There are many people in the West, and they are the best source of military service. When these three economic circles are formed, the lives of the West will be greatly improved. The future is that once people have enough food and clothing, they will naturally have other demands. Now, in my Ming Dynasty, there are basically no officials in the West, which is obviously not in line with the interests of the West, so at that time, I will transfer Zhongzhen to the capital and serve in the Political Affairs Hall. This is the central place of the court. I think this will relieve the demands of the West. In the future, some officials in the West will be promoted slowly."
Geng Qiancheng smiled and said, "I am not as far as His Majesty thinks, but I will wait until I can manage Qinghe. But after I leave, who will take over the Izumo County?"
"No one comes to take over." Qin Feng smiled and said, "Izumo County has a long and narrow geography and is not large in area. Xinning County is not small in area, but it is probably mountainous. I plan to merge these two counties into one county, so Wu Teng can serve as the county magistrate of the merged county."
Geng Qiancheng thought about it and applauded and said, "This plan is great. Izumo County is much stronger than Xinning County in terms of economy. After the two counties are merged, although Wu Teng is the county magistrate, there are more officials in charge below, so there will be no future troubles."
"This is a small matter, it won't be beautiful if you say it." Qin Feng picked up the chopsticks, pointed Geng Qiancheng, and said with a smile.
"Then I will start preparing for this matter next. After Wu Teng officially announced the first day of the Lunar New Year, he began to discuss the details of the merger of the two counties with him and handed over it to him. Then I can go back to Beijing to see my little grandson." Geng Qiancheng said with a smile.
"I have been going to Qinghe for several years, which is enough for you to be busy." Qin Feng said: "The Eagle Nest is planning the return of the military families of the troops taken away by Bian Wushuang back then. Once these people return, just resettlement is a very troublesome thing. But they must be done well and make them feel satisfied."
