Chapter 1025 Eggs and Mud
Song Qingming and Rouji were not in such heavy moods. Qin Feng and Xiao Gongyao never appeared in Duanyang again. No news is the best news. They just figured out the cause and effect. Song Qingming had to deal with it and now he is relieved.
Not to mention Rouji, looking at the street scene outside the window, she sighed: "If possible, it would be good to live in seclusion here."
"You don't want to go back to Sui City?"
"What do you think, sir?" Rouji lost her good voice when she mentioned this matter. She called her husband softly and said stiffly: "Sui City is a wolf's den. God knows what will happen after we go back."
The two of them looked at each other, and couldn't help but fall into silence when thinking of the scene in Sui City. Just at this moment, the carriage passed by the former county magistrate's house, but it was bustling and lively outside. Those who didn't know it thought this was the Duanyang market.
Rouji was much bolder here. She immediately opened the curtain and saw many people throwing mud dumplings at the gate or wall of the county magistrate's house. While throwing them, they cursed the dog officials. The crowd was furious.
"How can Duanyang still allow the bandits to come and go freely? The dog officials took the money and turned a blind eye. They are really nothing!"
"They have swallowed up the money and grain sent by the imperial court for disaster relief, and they have made us eat chaffy vegetables. It is not allowed by nature!"
"I heard that he and the prefect are in the same group. Even a small county magistrate's house brought out ten thousand taels of gold. Does the prefect's house have to have mountains of gold and silver? We can't even eat. What a bastard."
"Throw, throw!"
Amid the anger of the crowd, the wet mud dumplings slammed into the county magistrate's residence. However, it had been sealed up long ago and could not be called private property. Rouji suddenly lowered the curtain and laughed sarcastically.
"What are you laughing at?" Song Qingming asked, seeing her weird expression.
Rouji clapped her fingers and said: "Of course I laughed at this. This is a strange thing. The poverty in the southwest is also at the lowest among the counties in East Vietnam. The people are clearly poor. Look, in the Sui Dynasty, what was used to punish corrupt officials?
?”
Song Qingming choked up suddenly. In Sui City, eggs, vegetable leaves, etc. were used!
And how much does an egg cost in Sui City?
How could the people just now smash eggs? They used wet mud!
The huge gap between the rich and the poor can be seen in the treatment of corrupt officials. Song Qingming thought about the concerns expressed by Cheng Ansu just now and was also worried about the future of Southwest, "Perhaps Your Majesty will send capable people to manage Southwest."
"In fact, whether in East Vietnam or South Korea, there are rich and poor people. The greater the gap, the more rebellious the people are."
Song Qingming said solemnly: "It will not take a day to close the gap between the rich and the poor. Your Majesty has taken such a big detour this time and used the drought control to eradicate corrupt officials and clean up the bandits. This should be a response."
Southwest is taken care of."
Rouji only half agreed in her heart. Bridging the gap between the Southwest and other regions cannot be done overnight. East Vietnam has a vast territory and there are many places worthy of the emperor's attention. The Southwest is now in his eyes. Can he move behind? Who dares?
ensure.
However, Rouji really can't bear to part with this place. Although the folk customs are a bit tough, they lack some hypocrisy. Even if they are bad, they are all bad on the surface. But those officials are really bad to the core.
Heart.
After seeing too many twists and turns in Sui City, the straight-forward style here is quite comfortable, at least you don’t have to use your brain to guess.
Rouji was reluctant to go back to Sui City when she thought of it. Song Qingming looked at her deep in thought, but what he was thinking about was Zheng Tong who was taken away by Qin Feng. Qin Feng's side also suffered from winter drought, and Zheng Tong was there.
, it should be solved with all our efforts, and now we are also plowing in the spring.
Zheng Tong, who was deeply missed by Song Qingming, met his mother after arriving at Kuya. Seeing that she was safe and sound, and there was a little girl taking care of her beside her, Zheng Tong couldn't help crying!
If he is alone, his life will be lost, and what he has learned will be of no use, and his mother will suffer.
Seeing his mother's safety and the prosperity of the city and the southwest, he couldn't help but be shocked. It took him two or three days to digest the facts he saw. In this place unknown to the outside world, a city was under construction.
Built, no, I'm afraid it's more than that.
Qin Feng only gave Zheng Tong a chance to relax for three days, and then took him to his study to have a long talk. When he came out again, Zheng Tong was no longer the physically and mentally tortured Zheng Tongpan who first entered Kuya. He had transformed into a completely different person.
Became the Minister of Industry.M.
Qin Feng wanted to make him the Minister of the Ministry of Works directly, but Zheng Tong didn't know what he thought of, so he just took this position. Before leaving, he said to Qin Feng - "There is only one person in my heart who can be the Minister of the Ministry of Works."
If there is no position, it may be vacant."
Unexpectedly, Song Qingming made a trip to the southwest and gained a fanboy. However, what Qin Feng did not expect was that he and Xiao Lingyao took a trip to the southwest, and when they came back, the basic structure of Kuya had already been revealed.
It's just that, if entering the spring plowing period in Kuya is barely smooth, although the structure is clearly divided, many positions are unfilled.
When Long Qi and Xiao Lingyao came in, Qin Feng was in a daze looking at the list compiled by Rong Ying'an and the others. As soon as Long Qi came in, he said: "Sir, according to your instructions, all the tribes of Twelve Yao who are willing to join the army have gone to the military camp.
, and some went to horse farms.”
"It would be a good thing if the good horses brought by Lin Guogong before can be successfully multiplied, but there is still a shortage of available war horses." Long Qi said: "I'm afraid I have to make a trip to Beiguan."
"Someone has already taken care of this matter." Qin Feng said: "You remember Su Bao'er who went to my uncle. He was on an idle job in Jiangbei, so he happened to be free to handle this."
Su Baoer took the low-level path, which was very suitable. Long Qi did not expect that Qin Feng did not transfer people from Kuya, but used Su Baoer, a chess piece that he had long forgotten.
"Su Baoer is what he wants. He is in Laojiu's business. You have to walk to discover antique calligraphy and paintings. There was a chaos in Beiguan, and many antiques went to the people. This time, instead of purchasing horses, he just collected treasures.
Gone."
Qin Feng calculated the time and then said: "There are more important things to do now. There are more and more people now. Once the basic structure is built, in addition to the previous military salary expenditure, there is now another salary. Not only that...
…”
During the winter drought, another batch of subsidies were decentralized in his name. Later, the drought control expenditures, etc., were all taken out of his pocket. Whoever makes him the master of this place in the future, his pocket is the national treasury.
!
Although the gold mine he got this time was an unexpected blessing, in order to let the tribesmen of Twelve Days stay in Kuya with peace of mind, he gave up 40% of the profit as soon as he let go. Although he is not an iron rooster like Xiao Lingyao, he can settle accounts.
