Chapter five hundred and forty-six: taking people as a mirror
Although Quan Yun did not expect that he would become the leader of a country in one step, he was indeed a talented person. After calming down, he immediately grasped the biggest problem facing the emerging dynasty. His thinking was correct, and then all kinds of ideas erupted like a spring.
In fact, as an ambitious local official, when he is fine, he will naturally think about how to govern a country. Although there is no such person who can truly put his ideas into practice. Now that Quan Yun has such a platform, he naturally wants to show his ambition to govern the country well in front of a new king.
The two were very excited about the conversation. It took an entire hour until Mahou walked to Qin Feng and whispered a few words. Qin Feng suddenly felt relieved. Today, it was not just about meeting Quan Yun.
"Let's stop here today! Qin Feng smiled and said, "It seems that my decision to choose you as the prime minister is correct. The entire Yue Kingdom is almost in ruins now. We want to build our own empire on this ruin. The prime minister is worthy, please."
Quan Yun stood up and bowed deeply: "Don't worry, General, Quan Yun will do his best and dare not slackew the slightest."
"Okay, okay!" Qin Feng stood up with a smile, "You just arrived in Yuejing City today, right? Haven't you found a place to stay yet?"
"As soon as I arrived in Yuejing, I came to pay my respects to the general immediately." Quan Yun said.
"Then you don't have to find another place to live. Mahou, give Guan Gong a place to rest in the palace."
Quan Yun was shocked when he heard this and waved his hands repeatedly, "General Qin, I must not dare to do this. I am a foreign minister. How can I stay in the palace? This is not reasonable and unreasonable."
Qin Feng laughed loudly and accompanied Quan Yun to the outside of the hall. The place where they were located was the highest point of the entire palace. Standing on the steps, he could almost overlook the panoramic view of the entire palace, pointing to the large houses in front of him, "Since Master, look at the scale of the palace, it covers about thousands of acres, there are countless palaces, and there are only thousands of houses. How much can I live in by Qin? Even if Xier and Xiao Wen and Xiaowu are here, how much can they use it?"
"This is the majesty of the royal family!" Quan Yun said.
Qin Feng shook his head: "No, no, no, majesty comes from civil and military achievements, not these brilliant palace communities with golden walls. Li Zhi, the Qin State, was the commander of Qin State, and his reputation was not inferior to thatched emperor in China, but he lived alone in a few thatched huts. Those thatched huts almost became the holy land of Qin State. Even the emperor had to visit several times in a year!"
After Qin Feng said this, Quan Yun was not able to agree. Li Zhi was indeed a respectable person, but he was also an extraordinary person. Looking at the world, there was only one. But can he say that the emperor who was about to ascend the throne in front of him was not as good as Li Zhi? That was really a problem with his mind.
"Sinceremony, I have an idea. I looked at the map of Yuejing City and found that the departments directly under the central government are distributed in various places of Yuejing City. They are far apart from each other. It is extremely inconvenient to do things. It is inconvenient to find someone. So, I am going to gather all the departments and yamen in this palace and leave the most core area for my family to live in. The others are all distributed to each department. This is a preliminary idea. If you look back and think about it carefully, how to make arrangements more convenient for future governance." Qin Feng reached out and patted Quan Yun on the shoulder, "Take some time, take advantage of the opportunity of rectifying the administration of officials immediately, and move your home by the way."
Quan Yun nodded, or this was the demeanor of the founding king. They didn't care about their own enjoyment at all, but more about the prosperity of the country and the suffering of the people.
The new dynasty naturally had a new atmosphere. Looking at the vigorous Qin Feng, Quan Yun's whole body suddenly became like the sun in the sky, and his blood was boiling.
"General, I still have a few friends in Yuejing City. They are all talented people, but like me before, I was depressed and unsuccessful. When I came back this time, I happened to visit me." Quan Yun smiled and said, "I am in Yuejing City, but I still have no worries about not having a place to live."
"Since that's the case, I won't keep you." Qin Feng nodded: "You know the situation of our Taiping Army. There are many military generals, but civil servants are very poor, and there are even fewer capable civil servants. If they are willing to serve the Taiping Army, we will never be stingy with high positions."
"With this general's words, those people are afraid they will not be able to sleep tonight." Quan Yun laughed and said goodbye.
When he returned to the study, he had only had time to stretch his body a few times, and Yinggu appeared in front of him.
"My aunt, please sit down!" Qin Feng had to be careful in front of this master. If Ying Gu was Min Ruoxi's person and wanted a master to be his own chief supervisor, then I would probably not have to think about it. The reason why Ying Gu agreed to Qin Feng take up this position was because Min Ruoxi, and the other hand, she was even more reluctant to let the two little Wen and Xiaowu brothers she brought up with her.
"The Wu royal family has now been entrusted to Baoquan Palace. More than a thousand old people are now left to the wild dogs to take care of. How are you going to deal with these surviving tribes of the previous dynasty?" Yinggu sat opposite Qin Feng and asked.
"This is really a problem." Qin Feng grabbed his head. In front of Yinggu, he didn't have to care about his image. When he was most unlucky, he fell into the eyes of the person in front of him.
"The easiest thing is to kill of course." Yinggu tilted her head, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth that was easily invisible.
"That's not possible." Qin Feng shook his head repeatedly: "A lot of more than a thousand people. Although they were born from Wu and had their original sins since they were born, I can't do it. Let them stay in another palace now, and they won't suffer any loss. After everything stabilizes, they will consider how to resettle them. By the way, my aunt, is there anything you have to come to me specifically today?"
"Of course, are you very busy now?" Yinggu asked.
"Yes, Tian Zhen and his wife are coming later, and Xiao Ning and Jian Fang are also here to ask for a meeting." Qin Feng flipped through the schedule on the table and said distressedly: "There are too many things, and there is a feeling that you can't finish it."
"As long as you want to be an emperor with great potential, you will certainly have endless things to do. As far as I know, the princess's father only slept for two or three hours a day. The other time was either reviewing memorials, meeting ministers, and meeting envoys from other countries. There were only a few times of his own." Yinggu said.
Qin Feng shivered, "I don't want to live such a life. I have to think of a way to let the officials who receive their salaries take over the work, otherwise I have to do everything, why should I pay them the salary? My aunt, do you think it's right? I have to leave time to accompany Xi'er and Xiao Wen and Xiaowu?"
Yinggu's face really smiled this time. In her heart, she only cared about several people now. Princess Min Ruoxi was of course ranked first, and Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu ranked second. Qin Feng, okay, because he is the princess' husband and Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu's father, I can barely give him a name.
"Do you want to delegate power? This is not an easy task. The emperor of the world, isn't that one holding power tightly in his own hands? The more power, the better."
"The greater the power, the heavier the responsibility." Qin Feng waved his hand, "Each person does his job, takes his own responsibility, has perfect laws, is strict in assessment, rewards for merit, and punishes for mistakes. This is what I want. I don't want to be exhausted to death."
"Then you can try it, it won't be as easy as you think!" Yinggu put a stack of scrolls in his hand in front of Qin Feng: "This is the income from the Wu Emperor's Neiku counted by the inner palace. The number is so large that it is a bit surprising."
When he entered Yuejing City, Qin Feng was thinking about the wealth in Yuejing City. The continuous wars in the past six months have almost wiped out all his pitiful property. Now he is almost bankrupt. Fortunately, it is July now. After a while, the autumn harvest will come again. At that time, it will be slow.
Now, he is counting on seizure to survive. The army has been fighting for so long. The dead need to be paid for the injury, the injured need to be resettled, and everyone has to pay silver rewards, etc., which are all large amounts of silver expenses. Now each army is counting military achievements and calculating silver rewards. It is estimated that within a few days, he will start to have a headache.
After picking up this thick stack of books, Qin Feng didn't look at the details in front, turned straight to the last page, looked at the statistics at the end, and couldn't help but open his mouth in shock, and didn't close it for a long time.
"Isn't it wrong?" he asked in a daze.
"Of course it's not wrong." Yinggu said, "Are you scared?"
Qin Feng's face showed an ecstasy expression: "Oh, God, thanks to the dead ghost Wu Jian, the wealth he has accumulated in his life is probably here, right? Now it's cheaper, and it's solved my big problem. Hahaha, it turns out that it's better to make money if you don't do anything!"
With a bang, he slapped the account book on the table and looked at the vermilion-red palace 11.33 million taels behind him, and he felt overjoyed.
"This is just something that you can use immediately, as well as calligraphy, paintings, jewelry, etc., and the value should not be lower than this number." Yinggu made Qin Feng excited again, "If the money is really not good, you can still take these things out of the money. Haha, there will definitely be a lot of people who buy things out of the palace for a large price."
Yinggu looked at Qin Feng with a strange look.
"My aunt, why are you looking at me like this? Are you laughing at me for being in the limelight for money? You don't know that as long as you fight, the money will be spent, sometimes I don't dare to check the accounts. In the future, you have to fight if you have money in your pocket, so you won't panic."
"When will it be the end of the fight? Qin Feng, have you really never thought of stopping and living a good life with the princess?" Ying Gu said.
Qin Feng's smile gradually faded: "My aunt, we are like sailing against the current, if we don't advance, we will retreat. Putting aside anything else, just say that I am standing in this position now. If I don't strive for progress, Wu from another palace in Baoqing will be my role model. Taking people as a guide, how dare I slacken at all."
Hearing this, Yinggu sighed silently. (To be continued.)
