The strongest Marquis in history

Cao Deng stood up, shook his robe, put his hands together, and said: "Cao Deng, I would like to encourage the country."

"Meet the lord."

Cao Deng bowed ninety degrees and made a great gift.

Wang Qi stood up, walked in front of Cao Deng, supported Cao Deng and said, "With Mr. Cao's help, I don't have any worries in Donghai County. Before that, I was always worried about who should be sent to control Donghai County. Now I don't have to worry about it anymore."

Cao Deng said: "You should do your best in a humble position to live up to the high expectations of the lord."

Wang Qi nodded, and sat down with Cao Deng again.

A gust of cold wind blew, he tightened his clothes, and said: "Mr. Cao, you are in charge of Donghai County, do you need help? I will leave Donghai County to you, and I will go to Pengcheng Kingdom next, and I won't delay too much in Donghai County." A lot of time."

Cao Deng said: "Here in Donghai County, my request is very simple, leave me three thousand soldiers and horses. There are three thousand elites, as well as sufficient money and food, which is enough to revitalize Donghai County."

Wang Qidao: "I will send you a batch of money and food from the Mi family. Then, I will arrange for people to send the rest of the food and money to Nanyang. In addition, the land controlled by the Mi family will be handed over to you. In this way, the land controlled by the government will be innumerable. According to the rules of Langya Kingdom, all the land will be taken into the hands of the government."

Cao Deng was a little puzzled, and asked, "My lord, isn't this fighting for the interests of the people?"

Land is the foundation of the people.

In Cao Deng's view, the land should be handed over to the people so that the people can cultivate it.

Wang Qi shook his head and said, "No, you're wrong. If all the land is allocated to the common people, it will be prone to problems. Once there are natural disasters and man-made disasters, these lands will continue to be annexed and eventually concentrated in the hands of the aristocratic family."

"Has Mr. Cao ever studied history?"

"If you look carefully, you will find that in all dynasties, when the country was founded, almost all the people had land to cultivate. But as time went by, at the end of the dynasty, all the land was annexed."

Wang Qi's eyes were wise, and he said: "Once the people have no land to cultivate and lose the foundation for their survival, in the end, they can only be coerced into the grass and become bandits, looting everywhere."

"This has also led to local thieves and bandits, and chaos in the world."

"This is the current situation in Dazhou."

"Of course, the turmoil in the Great Zhou was actually not only caused by the land annexation. Apart from these, there were also chaos in the court, the enlargement of the place, and many other reasons."

"However, there are big problems here for the common people."

Wang Qi talked eloquently, and continued: "So according to my arrangement, all the land will be taken over by the government. And the government's land will be allocated to the common people for farming free of charge. The common people can cultivate it, but they are not allowed to buy or sell it. If the land dies, it will be taken back again, and it will continue to be controlled by the government.”

Cao Deng is a shrewd person, he has already figured it out in a short time.

This is the way to contain the family.

Aristocratic families not only have a lot of reading resources, but also a lot of land.Once the land policy is reformed, at least at the moment, there will be some changes. It is not to say that the family has always controlled the land.

In times of chaos, there is an opportunity for change.

Putting his hands together, Cao Deng said again: "My lord's benevolence and righteousness, I admire my humble servant. Please rest assured, my lord, even if my humble servant dies, I will definitely carry out my lord's policy so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment."

Wang Qi smiled and said, "Sit down and say, I don't need you to die. What I need is you to do things in a down-to-earth manner so that the people of Donghai County can live a good life. That's enough."

Cao Deng nodded solemnly, and said: "The lowly position will definitely live up to the high expectations of the Lord."

Wang Qi talked with Cao Deng about other things in Donghai County, such as the development of industry and commerce, and chatted about various things.After everything was finished, Wang Qi and Mi Huang didn't stay any longer, got up and left.

Cao Deng stayed in the living room with a shocked expression on his face and excitement in his heart.

Wang Qi's words really made Cao Deng's blood boil.

This is the master of great promise.

He wants to serve such a master.

When Cao Deng was thinking about it, he saw Cao Gui entering. After standing still, he saluted, "Father!"

Cao Deng said: "Sit down."

After Cao Gui sat down, he said, "Father, the paper used by the son is gone. And the writing brush used to practice calligraphy is already bald, so I can't continue to write. Besides, my son has finished reading the books at home, can I buy some more? Today When I passed by the bookstore, I saw a new book published by Mr. Cao Qisheng, and I wanted to buy it and read it."

He was still a little apprehensive when he spoke.

The situation at home is not very optimistic. After all, Cao Deng has never been an official, and now he earns some money by teaching people.

Cao Gui herself was looking for something to do.

But Cao Deng refused.

It is to let Cao Gui study at home and study hard so that he can become a talent in the future.

Cao Gui couldn't help it either.

Cao Deng heard his son's words and said, "We won't be so hard-pressed in the future. In the future, you will have countless papers for writing articles, and you can buy them back in stacks. If you want to buy books, just buy them."

Cao Gui said: "Father, does it have something to do with Mi Huang, did he come to ask you to do something?"

Cao Deng looked at his son's plain clothes, even a little thin, and said, "You have suffered a lot these years, because of your father, you suffered a lot when you were young."

Cao Gui said: "The son doesn't work hard, his father and mother are there, and the family is harmonious. This is already very good."

Cao Deng said: "The person who came with Mi Huang just now is the Prime Minister of Langya Kingdom, Wang Qi. He is now in charge of Donghai County, and appointed me as the prefect of Donghai County."

"If you have something to do, you will get a salary, and you will have no problem studying."

"You study hard, wait for your father's government affairs to be formalized, get your salary, change your clothes, and then get ready. After the spring, you will go to Nanyang Academy to study."

Cao Deng said: "Father believes that you will definitely be able to stand out and be better than father."

Cao Gui said, "Son listens to father."

At this moment, Cao Gui felt happy in his heart. His family was no longer poor and could live a good life.

Chapter 415 Persuasion

The next day, early in the morning.

Mi Huang explained to his family members, asked the housekeeper to be responsible, and gradually handed over food, land, money, etc. to Wang Qi's people, and entrusted Mi Zhen.After the family affairs are arranged, I will take my family to live in Nanyang.

After all, Mi Huang was going to Pengcheng Kingdom.

Next, Mi Mang will leave with Wang Qi, leaving only Mi Zhen and Mi Huang's concubines.

Mi Zhen and the others could only go there on their own.

Mi Huang arranged everything properly and braved the wind and snow to go to Pengcheng Kingdom.

The weather in December is very windy and snowy, and there is snow on the road, so the speed of the road is even slower.Now Mi Huang's heart is hot, thinking that he will follow Wang Qi, he will have great potential in the future, and the Mi family will surely be rejuvenated, so Mi Huang has a raging fighting spirit in his heart.

Even if the wind and snow are heavy, it is still a fast journey.

The location of Pengcheng Kingdom is located in the southwest of Donghai County, and its jurisdiction is relatively small.

Its geographical location is not as good as Donghai County, and there are even many mountains, hills and lakes in Pengcheng Country. Compared with Donghai County, Pengcheng Country is too barren, and it cannot be compared with Donghai County at all.

Mi Huang braved the wind and snow on his way, and arrived in Pengcheng Kingdom in mid-December.

The seat of Pengcheng Kingdom is in Pengcheng County.

Today's Prime Minister of Pengcheng Kingdom is Zhang Yu, a native of Xiapi, Xuzhou, from a famous family, and he is a good friend of Mi Huang.He served as the prime minister and has been committed to governing the local area.

Although there were some bandits and bandits in Pengcheng country, those that Zhang Yu could encircle and suppress were directly encircled and suppressed.As for King Pengcheng of the Pengcheng Kingdom, there were bandits in the area. King Pengcheng was worried about being attacked, so he fled to Xiapi a long time ago.

But Zhang Yu never left from the beginning to the end.

He has been sitting in Pengcheng County.

As soon as there were bandits, Zhang Yu directly encircled and suppressed them, and even with the help of Mi Huang's power, he continued to encircle and suppress local bandits, making Pengcheng Kingdom barely maintain stability.

If it's just inside the Pengcheng country, it's okay, but there are bandits constantly entering the surrounding area.

Especially to the west of Pengcheng Kingdom is Yanzhou.

The thieves and bandits in Yanzhou would flee into Pengcheng State, making it very difficult for Zhang Yu to govern the area.

Previously, Zhang Yu had received an order from Chen Yan, asking him to pretend to submit to Wang Qi first, and wait for Wang Qi to release the captives later, before making a comeback.Chen Yan's promise was to allow his Pengcheng Kingdom to stand on its own and let him control the power of Pengcheng Kingdom.

Zhang Yu laughed at this.

Chen Yan's words are bullshit.

If he, Zhang Yu, were capricious or even greedy, he wouldn't have been in Pengcheng Kingdom all the time.

After all, Peng Chengguo's situation is not very good.

Zhang Yu ignored Chen Yan's order, went his own way, and continued to handle his own government affairs.Although the world is in chaos, and Pengcheng Kingdom is also in turmoil, Zhang Yu has been conscientious in doing things from beginning to end.

Serving as an official will benefit one party.

Not in his place and not in his own affairs.

Since he is in the position of Prime Minister Peng, he will not give up his picks, but will do things well in a down-to-earth manner, and live up to the people's expectations of him and the people's trust.

This is Zhang Yu's idea.

Zhang Yu has been very busy these days.Because of the heavy snowfall, he was worried that there would be problems for the local people.

So people were arranged to patrol the various places.

Know what's going on everywhere.

This year's weather was drought in the first half of the year and floods in the second half of the year, causing great losses to Pengcheng.Now that it is snowing heavily, the lives of the people are very difficult. Zhang Yu hopes to do his best to make fewer people suffer from the disaster and more people not be affected.

In the study, Zhang Yu was still dealing with government affairs.

This is the news from Pengcheng County. Under the heavy snow, some people's houses collapsed and suffered disasters.

government support is required.

Zhang Yu reviewed it one by one, and asked people to execute it quickly to ensure timely disaster relief.

"Tread! Tread!"

There was a sound of footsteps, and a yamen servant entered, came to Zhang Yu's study, and saluted, "President of the country."

Without raising his head, Zhang Yu said, "Say!"

The yamen servant said: "Mi Huang from Donghai County is visiting, and he is waiting in the hall now."

After hearing this, Zhang Yu put down the brush in his hand, stood up and said, "Let's go."

"Yes!"

The yamen servant turned around and left.

Zhang Yu walked out of the study and went straight to the hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.Zhang Yu and Mi Huang have an irresistible relationship, they are close friends, now that Mi Huang has come in person, Zhang Yu should meet him.

Zhang Yu came to the hall in a hurry, saw the wind and dust, and said with a smile: "Gongming, what kind of wind brought you here. It's snowing heavily. It's not easy for you to come here from Lanling County."

The two sat down separately.

Mi Huang smiled and said: "Brother Bogui, I came this time by order, and I also asked for orders on my own initiative."

Bogui is Zhang Yu's surname.

Hearing Mi Huang's words, Zhang Yu looked solemn and asked, "Could it be that you have surrendered to Wang Qi?"

Mi Huang nodded and said: "Yes, I have already surrendered. It is a real surrender, not the kind of false surrender that Chen Yan ordered. Now my Mi family is completely tied to the lord, and all the assets and land of my Mi family are donated. Give it to the lord, for the lord to plan a great cause."

"hiss!"

Zhang Yu couldn't help but gasped.

The expression on his face was very shocked.

Zhang Yu said: "Your Mi family's assets are billions of dollars, uncountable. There are even many properties. You donated all of such huge assets to Wang Qi?"

"Yes!"

Mi Huang answered very firmly.

Zhang Yu twitched his cheeks, sighed, and said with emotion: "Gongming, you are a big hand! You know, any prince in the world, as long as you are willing to surrender with your family, everyone will accept you. Unexpectedly, you surrendered Wang Qi."

Mi Huang said: "The lord is wise and powerful, and he is a hero in the world. I submit to the lord, that's what I should do."

Zhang Yu chuckled.

Did not express any opinion.

Mi Huang and Zhang Yu are confidants, so they know what their friends are thinking, and continued: "Brother Bogui, I am here this time to lobby you for the lord, and I hope you will work for the lord."

"A person like Chen Yan is too old to stand in troubled times, and not good enough to benefit the common people."

"On the other hand, my lord, in a short period of time, the rise of Langya country, and countless businessmen gathered in Langya country. The people of the entire Langya country have no worries about food and clothing. Such a person can be called a wise master."
