Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 163 Pingzhou Qinhuangdao

When he first arrived in Pingzhou, Feng Daiwen called all the officials of the county together for several days to investigate. Originally, there were only 30 of the more than 17 officials, and most of the other half were demoted to officials, and five of them were imprisoned for corruption.

In fact, this is not troublesome. With Feng Daiwen's status as the commander-in-chief, he only needs to recruit minor officials for questioning. Few of them dare not tell the truth. When they are interrogating their colleagues, everything is very clear.

The reason why Feng Daiwen directly investigated corruption was also because there was a sheriff who did nothing to rule. The sheriff didn't care about things, and the people below could imagine that there were 17 people who could use it, which was unexpected.

After finding out, they also began to choose land to build houses, and at the same time sent small officials to publicize the relocation after autumn, calling on the mountain people to go down the mountain and settle down.

Feng Daiwen is also very busy every day. He has to choose a suitable planting place and a place with convenient water source to house the people who will be relocated after autumn, and he also has to inspect the geography of Pingzhou. insufficient.

The maps at that time were too primitive, a line represented a river, and it was not clear how wide the river was or what the water level was every year. All of these required on-the-spot investigation and interrogation of local elders to figure it out.

For half a month, Feng Daiwen traveled all over the county, and he didn't even return home once. He just sent someone back to report the itinerary every day to show his safety.

Pingzhou is also called Lulong, and there is a tall Lulong Mountain at the border. It is said that Cao Cao crossed the path of Lulong Mountain at the end of the Han Dynasty and attacked the Wuhuan people at that time. Therefore, the temperature in Pingzhou is higher than that of neighboring Tanzhou and Jizhou, and there is also plenty of rain near the sea, which is more suitable for planting and living.

During the investigation, it was accidentally discovered that there is an open-pit coal mine in Lulong Mountain. Now there is no need to worry about the coal in the four counties, so they quickly arranged craftsmen and recruited people to build workshops.

Good things happen again and again, the current Feng Daiwen is talking about, just returned to Pingzhou, the remaining craftsmen arranged by the aristocratic family were also brought here by the people who came to work, and the people who came here were actually led by a few acquaintances.

"Brother Wang, Brother Cui, Brother Zheng, and Brother Lu, you have not seen each other for a long time, and everything is fine." It turned out that Wang Yan, Zheng Yong, Cui Ping, and Lu Qi, four people with five surnames and seven surnames, came here. They are members of major families, but they are all headed by a few people, and the others should not be the best direct descendants, so they are all led by a few people.

"Who is this?" Feng Daiwen spoke loudly before a few people spoke.

"Meet the governor!" These people are all here to be officials, so naturally they will meet under the worship of their subordinates.

"Pei's family, Pei Shouzhen met the governor." Asked by Feng Daiwen just now, the person standing next to Wang Yan signed up again.

"Haha, you are welcome, I am very busy, and you all came at the right time." Seeing so many coolies, Feng Daiwen laughed happily and said.

"I would like to share my worries for the governor. A total of 128 people, including officials, have come to the account of the governor to listen to the orders and let them make arrangements." Cui Ping said on behalf of the others.

"Haha, alright, let me introduce you to the situation today. I'm not familiar with your abilities. You should listen to me first. You can choose your own affairs tomorrow, and I will arrange official positions for you in a month. How about this, everyone?" " Feng Daiwen said with a very satisfied smile.

"It's meaningless for us to let the governor be the master. To work for the court, naturally the capable will go up and the mediocre will go down." Wang Yan clasped his fists and said.

Seeing so many free laborers, Feng Daiwen's heart was filled with joy, and he immediately ordered a banquet to welcome everyone.

Before the banquet, introduce some of the current arrangements of the four counties and the places where they need help, and let them think about where they want to go.

There is basically no mediocrity in the personnel sent by the aristocratic family, and the worst ones can manage some copywriting, and there is no problem in managing several villages.

Moreover, many people are offshoots of the family, who were originally responsible for handling family affairs, because in a family, the top managers are generally direct descendants, and they generally look down on these remote places as officials, so they are all offshoots.

As for Wang Yan and others being able to come, they also benefited from the previous cooperation. Although the few families moved to the frontier, the family property has increased a lot, and it has added many sources of income.

Although the hometown has lost most of its heritage, it is harmless. The land has increased, and a lot can be allocated to the side branches of the family, which makes everyone in the family very satisfied, and the cohesion feels stronger.

So this time Feng Daiwen wanted someone, and he also put the benefits in front of him, so the several families sent a few people without hesitation, and a few people with excellent abilities, coming to help will not only gain benefits, but also get training, even if it is the court in the future. Allocation is also a kind of qualification.

The second is to make friends with Feng Daiwen. It is the best to get some technology from it. The worst is to get more money. After all, Feng Daiwen has produced many new things, and they are all best-selling products. I believe there will be more in the development of the four counties. thing.

As for the side branches of the aristocratic family, although they are not worthy of great responsibilities, they are good at handling specific affairs. If they are assigned according to what they have done in the family, they can generally complete them well.

There is no average score for more than 120 people, but two or 30 people are arranged for each county according to their ability, leaving 46 people in Pingzhou.

The next day, Feng Daiwen dispatched all the government affairs and asked them for their opinions. In the county, Pei Shouzhen was in charge of civil affairs, Lu Qi was in charge of government affairs, and Cui Ping was in charge of autumn harvest preparations and relocation.

Feng Daiwen thought he could rest for a day, but he didn't know that news came from the beach that the fleet was coming, so he hurriedly took Wang Yan and Zheng Yong to the beach.

Feng Daiwen has already investigated the seaside. Funing has a good natural port, which is around Qinhuangdao. The seaside is just a fishing village now.

When they came to the beach, there were already dozens of ships docked, more than a dozen large ships, and more than 30 smaller ones. This was Feng Daiwen's confidence in developing the four counties. It was up to them whether they could solve the financial problems.

"Meet the governor! The general came to report and brought a total of 48 large and small ships." Liu Rengui clasped his fists and saluted happily when he saw Feng Daiwen.

"Zhengzheng has had a tough journey!" Feng Daiwen greeted in return.

"Hey, it's unfortunate, the general likes the sea, and it's fun to be on the boat." Liu Rengui said with a smile, touching his head.

"Haha, but you are not here for war." Feng Daiwen was also very happy to see that Liu Rengui liked ships, because there was always a lack of a naval commander.

"The general knows that the fish caught along the way will almost not fit. By the way, Commander, there are also seeds collected by Li Yifu in Funan and other places on board." Liu Rengui said with a wry smile.

Of course Feng Daiwen knew what it was like to smell fishy when the boat was full of fish, he laughed so hard that he asked people to unload the boat.
