Chapter 22

In fact, the country gentry didn't need Qin Feng to say anything, they prepared some extra money themselves.

They are greedy...

Everyone got together last night and thought about it. They felt that Qin Feng had always been a brainless person with no opinions.

Although he became angry from embarrassment and killed Jiawu, but this does not prove that Qin Feng is not an idiot!
The gentry agreed that Jiawu pushed the county magistrate too hard.

Wanting the horse to run, but refusing to feed the horse grass, how can there be such a good thing in the world?
Now that Qin Feng is a horse, these country gentry want to raise it by themselves, and give some benefits together, so that Qin Feng can live a prosperous life, and it will not be squeezed too hard by them.

Moreover, the case of the past few days also made Qin Feng's reputation among the people much better.

In the past, when "suppressing bandits" donated money, although there were mobilizations, most people were forced to hand in. Most people were unwilling to pay.
Because the county master at that time never did anything for them.

He is simply a stupid official who does nothing, even a corrupt official, a bad official.

But today's Qin Feng is no longer what it used to be.

All the people in the county call him Qin Qingtian.

The master Qingtian raised his arms and shouted, so why don't the common people compete to donate money?

The people in the county are living in poverty, but there are only a few migrants in this county, and most of them have lived here for at least three generations.

Three generations, in poor families, also have some savings.

Not much more, as long as each family can contribute five taels of silver, the county has a population of 10,000+ and 20 to [-] households, that is more than [-] taels of silver!
The squires covet this money very much!

If you want the people to donate more money, there must be a reason. I can only say that this year's bandits are more violent than previous years, more ferocious than previous years, more people than previous years, and harder to deal with than previous years...

And those squires who play the "leading role" must also spend more money.

They have already calculated these, so the banknotes prepared by everyone are two to three times as much as in previous years.

Firstly, to show sincerity, and secondly, since they paid so much money, they have a bit of confidence in bargaining.

Unexpectedly, Qin Feng struggled for a while, and instead of haggling with them, he directly agreed to the distribution ratio they requested.

The squires looked down on Qin Feng even more, thinking that he was just a guy with no brains and easy to control.

"Lord Qin is worthy of being the county magistrate! Have fun!"

"Look at these silver coins, we are also very sincere. I hope our 'bandit suppression' operation this year will be a complete success! In this way, my lord, you can also get ten thousand taels of silver. After we separate, it will be almost the same. , everyone is fair."

"That's right, Lord Qin, you are much better than that guy in Jiawu, that guy is not authentic at all! It's a good thing he survived so many boards, he really fulfilled the old saying, the disaster will last for thousands of years!"

The squire who spoke was quite ashamed, he classified Jiawu as a disaster, but left him who wanted to "suppress the bandits" out, which made Qin Feng sneer in his heart.

You bastards, it fell into the hands of your uncle Qin today. If this money is in my hands, don't even think about taking it back!

Also divided into?If I can make you earn even a penny, my surname will not be Qin!

The words in Qin Feng's heart did not show on the surface at all, he just gathered up the banknotes sent by the gentry, arranged them into a pile, roughly counted them, and there were almost 3 taels of silver.

On average, each family invested more than 4000 taels this year, three times more than in previous years.

Folding these banknotes in half from the middle, putting them in his arms, Qin Feng stood up, sighed, and said to the gentry: "Since you all cooperate sincerely, then I will suffer a bit, and only one will be fine. Boss! Come on!" Let's drink and eat!"

Qin Feng shouted.

The shopkeeper had already been waiting outside, and all the food and wine were waiting on the second to third floors. Hearing Qin Feng's voice, he brought them up immediately. After a while, the table was filled with delicious food and wine.

"Thank you, everyone. I am willing to continue the great cause of 'suppressing bandits' with me. Please enjoy this meal slowly. I will go back and make arrangements."

Qin Feng was about to leave, but Hu Lai hurriedly stopped him, his expression changed, and he asked, "Hey? My lord, why did you just leave?"

What a joke, we brought the silver bills, but you were asked to mobilize the people, you put them in your arms and walked away, what's the matter?

Zhang Shun and several other squires also hurriedly stood up.

"That's right, my lord. Now the people are under this restaurant. It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day. Let's hold a mobilization meeting for the people right now, how about it?"

"That's not bad!"

"Let's say something first. These bank notes are only for mobilization by adults. Afterwards, they must be returned to us intact!"

"Yes yes yes!"

The first cooperation, the gentry were also very worried about Qin Feng, and of course they refused to let him go.

Qin Feng sneered, shook his head and waved his hands again and again: "Have a sports meeting here? Absolutely not!"

Everyone looked at Qin Feng in puzzlement, and they stood up and turned to the door. If Qin Feng insisted on leaving, they would definitely stop him immediately.

Seeing this, Qin Feng simply sat back, his mind running rapidly, and after a while, he explained to everyone: "This official is not that Jiawu, so it is impossible to use too crude methods to fool the people."

"In the past, I know a little bit about how the common people donated money to suppress bandits. How many of them really wanted to give? Hmm? Didn't my yamen servants go door-to-door to urge and rob?"

"But this year, can you still do that?"

"I have finally put up a golden signboard of incorruptibility. As long as the people think that I am an honest official, they will obey my words in the future. There are plenty of ways to get money from them."

"How can you smash the signboard just because of a momentary advantage?"

Qin Feng looked greedy, treacherous and sinister, and the few squires he said couldn't stop nodding.

Obviously, Qin Feng's personality among the country gentry has been established very firmly. This is a corrupt official!

The gentry frowned and asked, "If you don't mobilize at this time, when will you mobilize? Why don't you return the money and let me wait..."

"I have already made arrangements!"

Qin Feng interrupted the squire.

What a joke, the money went into Qin's hands, do you still want to take it back?

How can I give you a chance to speak?
"My plan is to simply mobilize first, and not let the yamen servants urge you. After I use some clever tricks, the people will be able to turn them in without urging them! At that time, I will show these bank notes to the people. Tell them the amount, do they have the nerve to take less money? You just wait for fame and fortune."

If Qin Feng was in modern times, those friends of his would definitely say that he was the leader of a pyramid scheme once they saw him.

"I don't know what master Qin's clever plan is, what kind of clever plan is it?"
