Chapter 451 Five years of Dingliao

Qin Dewei was taken outside the meeting hall and took a look inside. Although he didn't recognize most of them, he could identify everyone just by looking at their appearance and color of their clothes.

A man without a beard is a eunuch, a high-ranking old military attache must be the commander-in-chief, and a middle-aged military attache must be the commander of the Guangning Guard.

What surprised Qin Dewei a little but was reasonable was that it was the commander with the lowest status who was always speaking, while the eunuch and the chief soldier remained silent.

With Qin Dewei's shrewdness, he could understand after just a moment's thought. It must be the commander-in-chief and the eunuch who were too lazy to get involved in this mess. After all, the responsibility for the trouble caused by the Guangning Guards and the Liaodong Governor was very clear.

No matter what Commander Yuan's reasons were, whether he wanted to keep things peaceful, pass the blame, or take advantage of the opportunity to make meritorious service and get promoted, he couldn't do it without working hard.

Feng Qiancheng, who was sitting at the outermost seat, saw the figure under the lantern outside the lobby door, and waved to Qin Dewei, signaling Qin Dewei to come in.

But Qin Dewei did not move. Instead, he waved to Feng Experience, signaling Feng Experience to come out.

This surprised Feng Qianqiang. You, Qin Dewei, didn't want to come in and show off? Then why did you come to Guangning Health Office?

According to Feng's experience, Qin Dewei should be full of resentment at this moment and come in to scold everyone.

Anyway, you are the number one scholar in the Imperial Academy, and your father is the imperial censor. After you have scolded him, no one else can do anything to you.

So Feng Cheng stood up and walked out doubtfully, and took a closer look at Qin Dewei. Apart from changing into coarse clothes, this guy didn't look like he had suffered anything.

"Why don't you go in?" Feng Qianqian asked curiously.

Qin Dewei replied in a dignified manner: "As a Hanyuan Ci minister, I am inconvenient to participate in your local affairs."

Feng Qingcheng shouted softly: "Wait a minute!"

Then he turned back to the corridor, pulled out an eyebrow-leveling stick displayed on the decorative shelf, held it in his hand, and stood in front of Qin Dewei again.

After all, it is the Military Bei Yamen, so it is normal to have some displays like this.

Qin Dewei took a step back, "What are you doing?"

While Feng Qingcheng was adjusting the weight of the stick, he replied calmly: "Don't think too much, it's just self-defense. After all, it's not peaceful recently."

Qin Dewei: ""

"You continue talking." Feng Xianjun signaled.

Qin Dewei said succinctly and clearly: "Lend your Guangning guard to me for two days."

Feng experienced a rage, Qin Dewei, can you be more respectful to others?

When you were in Jiangning County, you, Qin Dewei, never let go of the official seal. Now that you have been demoted to the border town military guard, you, Qin Dewei, are chasing after you again to ask for the official seal!

If a Hanlin official steals the official seal of a miscellaneous official, does he have any humanity left?

Qin Dewei felt that the stick in Feng Qianqian's hand was a bit dangerous, so he immediately continued: "You will get a share of the credit!"

"Okay, do you want it now?" Feng Qianqian put down the stick.

Qin Dewei thought for a while and said: "We won't need it tonight, just wait until tomorrow to get it."

Feng Qingchen still didn't quite understand. He pointed to the meeting hall and said, "Do you want to take advantage of the chaos to make meritorious deeds? Then why don't you go in and participate?"

What Feng En means is that the three largest bosses in Guangning City, and even two of the four largest bosses in Liaodong (governor, inspector, eunuch, and general soldier), are all in it.

Without the support of these three people, nothing can be done in Guangning City. If you really want to make contributions and stand out, you cannot avoid these three people.

Feng Qingcheng reminded him explicitly: "Even if you don't intervene, Commander Yuan will probably be able to settle the matter."

"Tch!" Qin Dewei looked at Commander Yuan in the lobby with disdain.

He has now recalled that during the mutiny in the morning, this guy, as the commander of the Guangning Guards who caused the trouble, climbed over the wall and ran away faster than himself!

This resulted in the rebels not being able to capture the target commander, so they would use themselves to replenish their numbers.

But you can’t do it yourself, just go back and file a complaint with your stepfather!

Then Qin Dewei said to Feng Qianqian in a high-spirited tone: "You are too small. A Hanyuan Ci official like me should put down the stick with you in your place!"

What I mean is that you need to have a high-level awareness and a holistic view!

Therefore, I will not get involved in specific matters, and my focus will be on making suggestions for the court, doing top-level design, and planning the century-old plan for the entire Liaodong."

Feng Qingcheng couldn't help but complain: "You said it yourself back then, there is never a plan that will remain unchanged for a hundred years, let alone a rule that will last forever."

Qin Dewei nodded: "Even if it doesn't last a hundred years, it can be useful for a few decades.

When encountering problems, there is a difference between treating the symptoms and treating the root cause. I will leave small things like treating the symptoms to your place. It is up to me to deal with the root cause. I will plan a five-year Dingliao for the court!"

Even though Feng Qingcheng had blind faith in Qin, he still felt mysterious and mysterious at this time. Even though you, Qin Dewei, have experience in governing a county, Liaodong is a provincial-level unit!

Forget it, forget it, there are still some important officials in the court, and you, Qin Dewei, can still do whatever you want.

Before leaving, Qin Dewei said: "Don't reveal my identity to people like Commander Yuan yet. Just say that I am a fellow countryman!"

Feng Qingcheng didn't understand: "Why? I was just about to report it and send more soldiers to protect you."

Qin Dewei replied: "I am a kind-hearted person and I don't want others to kneel down and lick me!"

There may be many other things going on in this mutiny, and it’s easy to get dragged into the water if you come into contact with it too much.

Feng experienced a sudden realization and guessed that Qin Dewei was unwilling to contact Commander Yuan.

In this way, Qin Dewei returned to Guangning Station to rest. The next day, Qin Dewei did not go out. He wrote furiously in the house and wrote "Five Years of Liao Dynasty and Long Peace".

First, it was customary to explain that although the ancestral laws were sage and the emperor was eager to seek treatment, the ministers were useless, which led to the collapse of the ancestral laws, and the emperor had to change accordingly.

Then he pointed out the current domestic situation, such as population growth and the rapid development of the commodity economy. The old framework has been unable to adapt to the new situation.

Then specifically when it came to Liaodong, he proposed two core policies to the court. One was to clean up the number of acres in Liaodong and try out the mixed one-whip method.

Abolish the corvee labor force and convert all the labor into money or grain according to the number of acres. Please ask the Ministry of Household Affairs for detailed plans.

The advantage of doing this is to reduce the burden of the military households burdened by corvees, and in disguise, force the land-occupying tyrants to cough up some profits, which can somewhat equalize the taxes and servitudes.

The second is to try to implement a recruitment system in Liaodong. The sources of soldiers are not limited to military households. Guangning and Liaoyang, where the mutiny occurred this time, are used as pilots to make small steps forward.

If it is feasible, it will take five to ten years to implement it throughout Liaodong. Please ask the Ministry of War to come up with specific plans.

The advantage of this is to improve the professionalism and combat will of the military while reducing the burden on military households.

In addition to the two core policies, Qin Zhuangyuan also creatively proposed a concept called supporting measures.

First, due to the special nature of the border towns in Liaodong, a system of unified purchase and marketing of grain is implemented. Please add a grain manager from the Ministry of Household Affairs to be stationed specifically in Liaodong.

This is to prevent the one-whip method and the recruitment system from causing fluctuations in food prices and instability in border towns.

The second is to please abolish the new salt law of Ye Qi, the minister of Hongzhi Dynasty, and restore the old kaizhong law, which can only be exchanged for salt by transporting materials to border towns.

If it doesn't work, please try it out separately in Liaodong and allocate 100,000 salt diversions to restore the opening of the Central France in Liaodong. This will maintain the supply of supplies in border towns and stimulate the economic development of border towns.

If the court still can't get it, the emperor should stop being reserved and please kill that piece of trash Zhang Yanling and use the remaining salt controlled by the Zhang family for official use in Liaodong, which can be considered waste utilization.
