Chapter 1270: Do not worry about debts
Mahou twisted for a while and said to Qin Feng: "Your Majesty, since you want to use Cheng Xiaoyushu as an example, then this official should not be small, otherwise he would appear unhappy."
Qin Feng laughed: "You kid, are you asking for an official position for him in disguise?"
After Qin Feng's words were exposed, Ma Hou became generous: "Your Majesty, I originally wanted to bring him by my side, and slowly accumulated merit to promote him. Now this kid doesn't want to follow me, but I have to give an explanation. After all, it is precisely because of his efforts that I did not cause any greater losses. I owe him."
Qin Feng pondered without saying a word.
Chen Zhihua glanced at Ma Hou and said to the side: "Your Majesty, what General Ma said makes sense. Since you want to set an example, you might as well promote it extraordinarily. This is more eye-catching. Fortunately, Cheng Xiaoyu was just a 100-person general before, and his position was low. Even if he was pulled three levels, he was just a tooth general."
"A general can lead thousands of troops into our Ming army. Can Cheng Xiaoyu handle this?" Qin Feng asked back.
"The garrison he was in is responsible for the security of Yongdu and his neighbors. There are no large-scale field battles or other combat tasks. It means he is just a sheriff. As for other training of soldiers, Cheng Xiaoyu's combat skills are still not bad. Even if he reads the script, there will be no big mistakes." Chen Zhihua explained.
"Okay, since you all think it's OK, then do it like this." Qin Feng nodded with a smile, "Don't Mrs. Liu open a medicinal shop? In Yongdu, I found an imperial physician from Qinting to attend the clinic. When the business was opened, you can go there in person, so that Mahou can make him look more and more deliberate. If you go there, it will seem too poke the eyes and too deliberate."
"Yes, the imperial physicians in Qin are probably in panic all day long. Shuwan had previously been sent to work in the wounded barracks and asked them to go to the clinic. I'm afraid they still want to ask for it!" Chen Zhihua said with a smile: "But in this way, it would be difficult for Mrs. Liu's shop to be hot."
"It is to make her business popular and her reputation resound throughout Yongdu City. Only then can her story with Cheng Xiaoyu spread throughout Yongdu and even the entire Qin land!" Qin Feng said. "Master Xu, the prosthetic limb you made is really a good thing. How much does it cost?"
Xu Lai stretched out a slap and shook it in front of Qin Feng.
Qin Feng's face suddenly tightened: "Five hundred taels of silver? So expensive?"
"Your Majesty, this is not my handicraft fee. If my handicraft fee is included, I think it is not an exaggeration to spend a thousand taels of silver." Xu Lai said: "The steel used to make this pair of prosthetic limbs is the best material to choose. The value of these materials alone is already quite valuable. I don't say anything else. It takes too much effort to make the mechanisms at joints. If there is a slight difference, it will not be used."
When Chen Zhihua heard that it was so expensive, he gasped: "This thing is so expensive, how can it be promoted? Besides, no matter what, he is always a dead object, which will wear out and break. Including the later maintenance costs, ordinary people can't afford it at all? Master Xu, can you reduce the cost of this construction?"
"It's not impossible to lower it down!" Xu Lai snorted: "It can be lowered in the materials, but in this way, the quality will be poor, and the movements in the joints will be greatly affected. Moreover, if the materials are poor, the things made will be unsatisfactory, and if there is no such thing as a loss of money, I will either not do it, and of course I have to do it well."
Xu Lai was stubborn, so Chen Zhihua could only catch a fire and squeezed the teeth. This master, he really couldn't afford to offend this master.
Qin Feng pondered for a while and said, "It's more expensive, so that the future lives of soldiers who sacrificed for the court during the battle can be more convenient, and it can not affect normal life to the greatest extent. The court has borne these expenses. As for the future maintenance costs, they can only pay them for them."
"Your Majesty, can you introduce businessmen to invest to do this?" Chen Zhihua asked.
Qin Feng shook his head: "If the merchants intervene in this matter, it will probably be contrary to our original intention. Merchants are seeking profits. When they join in, they will inevitably demand profits. The unlucky ones will be these soldiers. Let's do this, Master Xu Lai, you will lead you to set up such a workshop, not produce on a large scale, only undertake reservations. How about it?"
"As long as the best materials are guaranteed, I will naturally have no problem."
"Can you do the prosthetic legs, can you do the arms?" Qin Feng asked.
"It is possible to do it, but the cost of the arm is higher." Xu Lai stared at his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, the prosthetic legs are only responsible for tasks such as stress and walking. It is relatively simple, but the arms have to work. The flexibility and strength of the fingers determine how much he can do. You also see that the prosthetics of Xiaoyu are extremely simple except for the ankle and knee joints that are free to move. If you are doing a hand, the cost will be more than doubled. The mechanisms involved in this are much more complicated."
"Do it!" Qin Feng gritted his teeth, "The court can afford this little money. After returning to the capital, I will ask the Ministry of Revenue to issue a portion of the funds separately, as part of the soldiers' disability pension."
Xu looked at Qin Feng and nodded in admiration.
Chen Zhihua bowed to Qin Feng, but he said, "Chen Zhihua brought all the soldiers on the front line to thank His Majesty for his generosity."
"It's not about being generous, but about thanking me." Qin Feng said: "Of course we have to make the best life for those who have shed blood for us. Besides, it seems that I want to become the poorest emperor in history. It doesn't matter if I have too much debt and too much lice, it doesn't matter."
"Although Your Majesty is not rich, your Majesty's people are richest in the world, but Your Majesty will own the whole world. So Your Majesty is still the richest." Xu Lai said on the side.
Qin Feng laughed, "I love to hear these words."
As he was talking, Eunuch Le hurriedly brought a file and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, the memorial of the Political Affairs Hall of Yuejing City."
Qin Feng took the file and shook it in front of everyone, "It seems that the Political Affairs Hall has finally decided who will be the county magistrate of Yongdu!"
He tore open the seal of the file, took out the memorial inside, looked at it with a look of surprise on his face, "How could it be him? How did the chief minister persuade him?"
"Who is it?" Chen Zhihua asked strangely when he saw Qin Feng's shock.
"Zhong Zhen, do you still remember him? The guy who was beaten to death by Xi'er on the bank of Xiushui River was picked up by Shuchang's disciple Wang Lingbo as a graduation certificate and was treated. I have seen him in Yuejing City. His body has almost recovered, but his martial arts cultivation has almost disappeared. When I met me, I was discouraged and prepared to be a choreographer in Wang Lingbo's clinic!"
"Isn't he a general?" Chen Zhihua asked.
"This person is both civil and military. With his talent, it is no problem to be a county magistrate. He is from Yongdu, but his family has a lot of knowledge. By the way, Zhihua, how do the former high-ranking officials and nobles of the Qin Ting deal with it now?"
"Most metropolis are in the mansion, and there is no time to identify them yet." Chen Zhihua said.
"Since the Political Affairs Hall has convinced Zhong Zhen to become the first county magistrate of Yongdu County, then you have to treat the family members of Zhong Zhen differently. You can go to their mansion in person and have a good talk with the heads of their mansion, so that they can come out to do things now and help you stabilize the situation in Yongdu City."
"Yes, your Majesty."
"Since Zhong Zhen is the county magistrate of the Yongdu County Government, let Chen Shaowei garrison Yongdu!" Qin Feng thought for a while and said.
"Your Majesty, Zhong Zhen and Chen Shaowei are both from Qin people. Is it appropriate to let them take charge of Yongdu? Yongdu will be the core city in the entire western region in the future."
"Although both of them were Qin generals in the past, they had completely different backgrounds. Chen Shaowei joined the Ming Dynasty after the Hulao incident, and then fought with the Thunder Army belonging to Zhong Zhen for more than a year. One belonged to the border army and the other belonged to Thunder. It would be strange if the two of them could pee in the same pot. On the contrary, they would have to be prepared for each other in the future." Qin Feng smiled, "In Yongdu, we have to use civil and military command for the time being. Everything will be stable in the past few years before making arrangements."
"I understand!"
"There is only a person from Zhong Zhen. After returning to Yuejing City, I will have a good talk with him. He has been in Yuejing City for a long time. I believe he has a deep understanding of my Ming Dynasty's way of governing the country. As for Chen Shaowei, you can talk to him!" Qin Feng arranged.
"I will let Chen Shaowei know the importance and understand his mission." Chen Zhihua said with a smile.
In Yongdu City, Sanyuan Lane, Cheng Xiaoyu was wearing a new general uniform and rode on a horse, followed by more than ten soldiers. These were all guards who had just been given to him, and they were still like they were in a dream. At this moment, he could not tell from his appearance that he was a person with one leg. Only by observing attention can he find that he was still a little unnatural when he walked.
He never expected that in just a moment, he not only had a pair of prosthetics that were free to move, but also promoted to the third level, and suddenly became a tooth general. Although he was the lowest among the general level, he was still a general.
He pushed open the door and walked in. He saw Wang Zunzhi with some people busy inside, while Mrs. Liu was busy serving tea and water to everyone.
"This general!" Wang Zunzhi looked up and just shouted, but he was stunned. "Brother Xiaoyu!"
Cheng Xiaoyu smiled at Wang Zunzhi and turned to look at Mrs. Liu: "Sister-in-law, I won't leave anymore, so I will stay in Yongdu City. I said I will take care of you, mother and son for the rest of your life."
