Our family has been rebelling for generations, and you've become the top scholar in the imperia

"Father, why did you come all the way here yourself? The capital is so dangerous. Why didn't you stay in the village and let them come? What are you doing here?"

Qin Feng never expected this.

Qin Dali will personally come to the capital. Strictly speaking, his father is quite unreliable.

"What, I can't..."

I was about to say something harsh.

Upon seeing the mud spots on Qin Feng's body, Qin Dali stopped and his tone softened.

"Father was worried and came along to check on things. Don't rush, being an official is definitely not easy, take it slow!"

As for how difficult it is to be a [position/role]...

Just look at the magistrate of Yunxiang County to know.

Ever since Qin Feng became the top scholar in the imperial examination, this guy has been going around the village whenever he has free time, personally overseeing everything from road repairs and tree planting to house repairs.

They even send things over occasionally.

If being a county magistrate is this difficult, imagine how tough it must be in the capital.

"Let's go, let's go. Now that everyone from the village is here, you'll have help in the capital. If something is difficult to handle, let your father take people to do it. If necessary, we can always run back!"

Qin Dali patted Qin Feng on the shoulder and said something earnestly.

"Yes, young master, we've arrived. Just tell us who you want to take care of, and we'll take care of them. Whoever in the court has a grudge against you, we'll deal with them."

"Right, right... if we can't take him out on himself, we'll take out his family!"

"Even a dog's legs should be broken!"

"..."

Hearing these familiar local accents, Qin Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

What are you doing?!

The entire court of officials was at odds with him, yet he managed to kill them all?

"Let's go, let's settle you down first. I've got your travel permits ready, you can go straight into the city."

Qin Feng smiled and waved his hand, leading his men to the official road and directly to the city gate.

The dozen or so soldiers of the city's garrison saw a group of rough men approaching from afar. They were all big and burly, with fierce and menacing looks, and they didn't look like good people at all.

They immediately became more vigilant.

The team leader immediately gave instructions to everyone.

"Keep a close eye on them, check the travel permits carefully, and see who they are."

"Boss, something's not right!"

Just then.

A soldier guarding the side squinted hard, and after recognizing the person at the front, immediately reminded him:

"It's Lord Qin. Take a good look. The one in front, wearing coarse clothes, and the tall guy behind him, what's his name, Niu Wu, the one who looks like a fool, I guarantee it's Lord Qin."

The captain immediately rubbed his eyes and took a closer look.

Quickly wave to get everyone to stand still.

He bent down, straightened his clothes, and hung up his weapons.

I jogged up there.

Who is Qin Feng?

It's so famous in Beijing now. Xifang is so prosperous that everyone goes there to stroll around after work.

A while ago, someone publicly whipped a wild boar with a leather whip at the city gate.

They brought down the King of Transport.

This was all done by Lord Qin.

"Oh? I remember you. You were there when we stopped Wild Boar Skin. What was your name again?"

"Duan Laosan, Lord Qin, my humble name is Duan Laosan."

Duan Laosan grinned.

Unexpectedly, Lord Qin actually remembered him.

"These people are some craftsmen from the Ministry of Works, whom I just recruited. Their travel permits are here; please check them."

"Craftsmen from the Ministry of Works?"

Duan Laosan was taken aback, and immediately understood what was going on.

The Ministry of Works has recently been looking for a large number of craftsmen, and they are looking for all kinds of craftsmen, supposedly to build some things for the Xishan Coal Mine.

"Since they are craftsmen from the Ministry of Works, there's no need to check their travel permits. Just lead them in, sir. You are a physician in the Ministry of Works; you certainly won't make a mistake!"

"Come on, make way and let Lord Qin lead his men in."

Qin Feng was slightly surprised.

He gave Duan Laosan a meaningful look.

"My wife is now working in the west wing..."

"Oh, what do you do?"

"Reporting to you, sir, I don't have any special skills. I work in the kitchen of a restaurant, doing washing and cleaning."

Upon hearing this...

Qin Feng nodded slightly and waved to Liu Tu behind him.

"Since he can help in the kitchen, it means he has some skills. Perfect... Have your wife go to the West Wing to find him tomorrow. They've recently added a batch of stalls selling all kinds of snacks. Let your wife try it out; the first three months are rent-free!"

Duan Laosan's eyes widened, and he hurriedly and excitedly replied:

"Thank you, sir. Don't worry, my wife has been learning to make noodles since she was little, so setting up a stall won't be a problem for her. Tomorrow is my day off, and I'll take her there myself!"

The stalls in Xifang.

These days, stalls in Xifang are a sure-fire way to make money; you can earn at least a few taels of silver a month.

Moreover, people cannot squeeze into the stalls in Xifang; residents of Xifang have priority in applying.

Unexpectedly, Lord Qin immediately offered a stall.

What's the difference between this and giving money?

"Alright, I have some official business to attend to..."

"Please, Lord Qin, take your time. I'll arrange for someone to repair this road tomorrow."

The group of people following behind Qin Feng, including Qin Dali, had very exaggerated expressions at this moment.

Many of them had never been to the capital.

However, they have been to some other state capitals.

Naturally, he knew very well how troublesome these city guards were; without a travel permit, no matter how much silver he offered, they would still let him in.

did not expect……

They didn't even look at the travel permits and just let us through?

Moreover, judging from the situation, they seem to be very respectful to Qin Feng.

"Father, arrange for you to stay in the West Wing for now. There are no empty rooms available, so how about an inn? Liu Tu, go and inform the innkeeper in advance that the inn can vacate one floor of guest rooms and not sell them for the time being."

"yes!"

Liu Tu nodded and ran ahead towards the west side of the market.

"hiss!"

Qin Dali gasped.

They looked at each other in bewilderment.

Such a big face?

Does this mean the inn has to vacate an entire floor?

"My son, what is your position in the capital now? And what is the Western Ward? How come...?"

"Father, you'll understand when we get there. I currently work in the Ministry of Works as a Director in the Department of Agricultural Reclamation. It's not a high-ranking official position. As for the Western Ward, I concurrently serve as its head. You can think of it as me being in charge of this area!"

"You call the shots in Xifang?"

Qin Dali didn't understand what a doctor was.

But deep down, they know very well what kind of level it is to have the final say in one place.

"By the way, you guys take a few days off first, then move to the Xishan Coal Mine. I'm still managing the Xishan Coal Mine, including transportation and sales!"

"I almost forgot... there are hundreds of acres of fertile land outside the capital, which will all belong to our village in the future!"

"Recently, we've partnered with some nobles in the capital, such as dukes, to start a timber track business."

quiet!

The silence around Qin Feng was eerily profound.

Everyone was shocked and couldn't react for a moment.

We haven't been in the capital for very long, have we?

How could you do so many things?

So you've even started doing business with Xun Gui?

He also oversees a coal mine?

Even the land is several hundred acres?

"Good, as expected of someone from our Qin family. To be able to amass so much wealth in such a short time? Father is very pleased."

"Looks like you weren't wrong before!"

Qin Dali sighed with a complicated expression.

He sighed softly.

"Robbing is never as quick as corruption, that's absolutely true. If you want to make money, you have to be an official!"

"Dad can't just sit idle either. Let's find a target these next few days and go for it!"

Qin Feng: "???"
