Datang Longya

Chapter 571 Unexpected Gains

It is very difficult and time-consuming to blow up the reefs of the entire river. If the Dragon Tooth Army alone is used, it is estimated that it will take years of monkeys.

So, Leng Feng asked Li Shimin for help, and transferred Longlinwei over.

Even with the help of the Dragon Scale Guard, it took a month for the section from the Han River to the Yangtze River to be completely cleaned up.

When the diversion channel was blocked again, Chang Shou saw the river surface was flat, and there was no more eddies in the Han River, and tears filled his eyes.

This is a feat!It only took such a short period of time to change the natural environment with manpower. It's no wonder that this duke of the country can directly become a title that he can't get in his whole life.

At this time, Chang Shou couldn't help admiring all the princes of the imperial court. Now that a supervisor has such means, the others are probably not weak!

When the opening of the river diversion was completely blocked, and after making sure that it would not be washed away again by the river, Leng Feng said to Chang Shou: "Get ready to be promoted, you will be appointed to the state in a short time. "

Chang Shou wondered: "Promoted? Gong Guo, this credit is yours. The dismissal is just to complete some logistics work, how can you be promoted?"

Leng Feng glanced at Chang Shou, but still didn't tell him the truth.

When the river course is dredged, the river transportation will definitely develop, and Sanquan County will gradually become the most important county in the surrounding area.How can such an important commercial road be under the jurisdiction of a county magistrate who doesn't know much about business?
The most normal arrangement is to transfer Chang Shou to the state, get promoted, and then send a knowledgeable person to be the county magistrate.

In the future, the county magistrate of Sanquan County is expected to become as important as the governor of Yizhou.

"Although I did this, it happened during your tenure, so it's not unusual for you to be promoted. Well, the matter is almost done, and it's time for me to go back to Chang'an while traveling around Shannan Road .”

Chang Shou cupped his hands and said, "Duke Xi cares about the development of Sanquan County, but Sanquan County has nothing to repay, and there is no gift that can be handed out. This"

Leng Feng laughed loudly and said, "If you want something in return, wouldn't that change my original intention of coming here? That's it! Oh, yes, I also want to buy a piece of land in Sanquan County. Let's get this done."

Earlier, Lao Yuan wrote in a letter saying that he also wanted to build a transfer station in Sanquan County to facilitate the transportation of goods from glass workshops and cement workshops.

In the past, these workshops were like wholesalers. Many businessmen used transportation to make a difference and made a lot of money.After finding out the profits in the middle, Lao Yuan also started to transport the goods by himself, transport the goods out of Chang'an, and directly earn a lot of money.

It is very good to have a retainer who always wants to help the master's family make a lot of money.Before Chang Shou was promoted, Leng Feng also wanted to buy a piece of land.

Chang Shou quickly shook his head: "If the Duke of the State of Jin wants a piece of land, how can he pay for it? As long as you tell me, Sanquan County can give you a piece of land anywhere?"

Leng Feng still shook his head: "It's better to do business. You go and find me some masons. Before I leave, lay the foundation."

Chang Shou knew that he had no way to change Duke Xun's mind, so he didn't say anything, and immediately went down to prepare documents and went to find a mason.

After Chang Shou left, Li Chengqian came in and asked, "Master, actually Chang Shou is not a promotion, it's a disguised resignation, right?"

Leng Feng smiled slightly: "See? Actually, this time, although Chang Shou has made some contributions, it's not that big. But in order not to hurt his heart, we can only arrange for him to be promoted.

You will be the emperor in the future, you must learn this routine, no matter what time, you can't let your subordinates feel cold, only when they serve you wholeheartedly, can you trust them to do things with confidence. "

Li Chengqian nodded.And seriously wrote down this truth.

Naturally, the location chosen by Leng Feng would not be an ordinary place.Just beside the Hanshui River, he circled a large piece of land, which can not only build a large warehouse, but also build a small wharf.

Chang Shou has no objection to this at all. After all, the land purchase price of [-] guan is enough to do many things in Sanquan County in the future.

During the period when the craftsmen were laying the foundation, the water evaporated in the flooded low-lying area, exposing the silt.

Occasionally, people who passed by were surprised to find that what was originally a barren low-lying cultivated land was now filled with silt and gravel.

Not only that, the silt in the Han River is much more fertile than the original soil there.Although there are a lot of broken stones, as long as the stones are picked out, it will be a good field.

That is to say, Gong Guogong flooded the cultivated land, not only did not destroy the cultivated land, but also brought them a better land.

The person who originally sold the land regretted it. After the land is sold, even if it is state-owned, even if it is so fertile, it will be distributed to others by the county government.

Leng Feng didn't expect that his act of destroying the cultivated land would turn into upgrading the cultivated land, but how to deal with this cultivated land is still a problem.

After looking at the land, Leng Feng said to Chang Shou: "If anyone wants the land, take back the money from those common people and return the land to them."

Chang Shou squatted down, grabbed a handful of soil and said, "Duke Xi, this land can already be regarded as a high-quality field, so it's not good to just give it back to them for nothing!"

Leng Feng smiled and said: "People, let them take advantage of it! If there is any unwanted land, then sell it. Sanquan County will inevitably need money in order to develop in the future."

Chang Shou nodded. Although he didn't know why Duke Xun wanted to let the people take advantage of it, the facts proved that he was right to listen to Duke Xun.

Sure enough, after the cultivated land was returned to those people, the reputation of the Duke of Guo and the magistrate of Sanquan County for not caring about the people spread, and the people of Sanquan County spontaneously found someone to write the Wanmin Letter, which they wanted to hand over to the court.

The Wanmin Book is the people's high recognition for an official, and getting the Wanmin Book is the long-cherished wish of every official who leaves Beijing.

This shows that Leng Feng has not worked in vain in Sanquan County for the past six months!
When the imperial court announced the promotion of the magistrate of Sanquan County and the appointment of a new county magistrate, Leng Feng led his army to leave Sanquan County and took a rough tour of Shannan Road.

After the troubled times, officials are generally more diligent, and the people of Shannan Road are still living well.

After walking all over Shannan Road, it was time to return to Beijing. On the way back, Leng Feng asked Li Chengqian, "How do you feel after walking this time?"

Li Chengqian replied: "It's a bit uncomfortable, because the common people are only pursuing not only hunger to death, but not only the buttocks. As long as these two things are satisfied, it is very rare for them. As for eating meat and drinking, they still can't enjoy it." .”

Leng Feng nodded: "This is our goal in the future. In fact, the common people have no worries about food and clothing, which is already the embryonic form of a prosperous age."
