The Ming army stationed in Shayang County left one after another, but the city of Shayang County did not appear deserted because of the sudden departure of tens of thousands of people. Instead, there were more people on the streets. It was just that the soldiers who walked the most on the streets in the past suddenly disappeared. The tense that had been held for several months disappeared with the arrival of Emperor Qin Feng, and replaced by a joyful mood.

No one was still worried about the next war with Qi, because their invincible emperor commanded the expedition. Since Qin Feng led the Taiping Army to rise, they have never been defeated in the hearts of the people of Shayang. Even though they were still very weak back then, they were still the winners when they faced an extremely powerful enemy.

Of course, this victory will also belong to them.

After months of control, the shops on the street opened normally. After months of receiving daily necessities by people, the people can once again buy what they need as they wish. Each store is filled with bustling crowds. The shop owners are smiling, and while they are busy greeting customers, they have to think about the evening and quickly find ways to mobilize more goods.

As the county magistrate, Fang Dazhi became the busiest person in the entire county town. Tens of thousands of troops gathered in Shayang County. Their logistics transfer alone was enough to turn him into two big ones, not to mention countless other chores.

Corresponding to Fang Dazhi's busyness was Qin Feng's leisure. After summoning all the generals in the county magistrate's mansion, he moved to the Liu family's mansion. If he lived in the county magistrate's mansion, it would only cause more trouble to Fang Dazhi.

Qin Feng did not want to interfere with Fang Dazhi's specific management work on Shayang County. If he stayed, Fang Dazhi would go to him for advice from the morning and evening report from the perspective of the situation. This would make both sides feel unhappy. It would be better to leave and keep a little distance.

Only when it involves affairs of the entire country will Fang Dazhi go to the Liu family's residence to ask Qin Feng for instructions.

With the issuance of Qin Wu's intention to engage in marriage with the young daughter of Liu, Liu was already a royal relative. After the rise of the Taiping Army, Liu, which seemed to be gradually declining, once again became a figure on the storm of the Ming Dynasty. Although Old Master Liu was dead, he was a miraculous figure in the hearts of many people in Shayang County and the entire Ming Dynasty. Back then, he chose Qin Feng, who was still a bandit, to form an alliance and gave Qin Feng Shayang County a stage for him to dance. After the rise of the Ming Dynasty and the Liu power was deliberately curbed, his masterpiece before his death once again made Liu the most popular wealthy family in the Ming Dynasty. There is no one in the royal family at all, and it is no exaggeration to say that Liu has become the first clan of the Ming Dynasty.

In the Liu clan ancestral hall, Qin Feng looked solemn, holding three pillars of fragrance, solemnly inserted it into the incense burner on the big table in front of him, and bowed. In front of him were dozens of spiritual cards, and the closest to him was the spiritual cards of Mr. Liu.

"The old man must have a grand burial." Turning around, Qin Feng looked at Liu Xingwen who was with him, "The old man passed away before, but because the situation was unstable, he had not announced the world, and the funeral was delayed. Now, you can start preparing. The Ministry of Rites in Yuejing City will also send a minister here, and it should be here tomorrow."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liu Xingwen bowed deeply.

"Before leaving Beijing, I discussed with the Chief Minister. The old man made great contributions to the country and the people. The Chief Minister Quan suggested posting the title of the old man as the first-rank Duke of Zhongguo, and I agreed. On the day the old man was buried, the decree would be issued. The old man is the first first-rank official of our Ming Dynasty and the first official to be granted the Duke of Duke. The title of Duke of Zhongguo is not hereditary, and every generation will be reduced to one level, so you will be named the Duke of Zhongguo at the same time." Qin Feng turned his head to look at the spiritual throne of Mr. Liu, "Old man, Liu Xingwen is also the first Duke of our Ming Dynasty. I believe you will feel relieved if you are in the nine springs?"

Liu Xingwen knelt down and touched the ground with his forehead: "Your Majesty's great kindness, the Liu family will be crushed to pieces to repay you."

Qin Feng reached out to help Liu Xingwen up, "Brother Liu, speaking of it, you and me are both unfamiliar. The Qin and Liu families have formed an indissoluble bond since then."

As he spoke, Qin Feng walked to one side, pulled a chair and sat down, and pointed to another chair beside him, signaling Liu Xingwen to sit down as well.

"At that time, I was ungrateful and dared to stroke Your Majesty's tiger beard. Now I think it's ridiculous. I'm really fearless." Liu Xingwen was a little embarrassed. He led the soldiers of Xingyang County to attack Qin Feng, but the entire army was destroyed, and most of the soldiers of the county, including him, became prisoners.

"This is exactly what I admire most about Old Master Liu." Qin Feng smiled and said, "His vision is so accurate and vicious that it is amazing. Of course, from another perspective, it is also our mutual fulfillment. Without Old Master Liu, there would not be the Taiping Army that would later be, and there would not be the Ming Dynasty today. Of course, there would not be the Liu clan that is famous all over the world today."

Liu Xingwen took a deep breath. "This is all blessing for His Majesty."

Qin Feng waved his hand, "Brother Liu, our two families are now in-laws. There is no need to hide it. Xiao Wu will definitely be the prince of my Ming Dynasty in the future. Your little daughter will be the princess. As the saying goes, one is prosperous and one is loss. With the rise of the Ming Dynasty, our two families are tied up more and more tightly and cannot be separated from each other. Do you understand this?"

"I understand."

Qin Feng nodded slightly: "The royal relatives and the first clan family of the Ming Dynasty are honors, but also pressure. The wood is in the forest and the wind will destroy it. How to be the first family of the Ming Dynasty, how to be the emperor relatives, Brother Liu, are you prepared in your heart?"

Liu Xingwen was stunned. He had never thought about this problem.

"Please make it clear that I will obey Your Majesty's instructions." Liu Xingwen said.

"Okay." Qin Feng said: "Then I'll just say it. After Mr. Liu is buried, don't lead the troops anymore. Go to the Ministry of War to be a minister. How about it?"

Liu Xingwen breathed a sigh of relief. From the day the court issued the decree, he knew that he would inevitably stay away from military power. However, Qin Feng's way of expressing it made him feel very comfortable. In front of the spirit of Mr. Liu, Qin Feng gave Liu, Mr. Liu and him great respect.

"I am willing." Liu Xingwen shouted: "Your Majesty, the great wise generals are like clouds. I really can't mention it when I am here. In fact, I am more willing to go to a yamen like the Ministry of Rites."

Qin Feng laughed: "You are a military general, and you can't adapt to the department of the Ministry of Rites that has a lot of cultural and cultural festivals. You can't adapt to it. It means that after the matter of Qi State is over, Xiaomao will replace Huo Guang as the Minister of War. You should be his assistant. Xiaomao is my good brother, you are my in-laws. The two of them have taken charge of the Ministry of War for me. The power, power, power, and power are the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. In the next few years or even decades, this land will not be peaceful and will still be in chaos. Only with a powerful army can we ensure the safety of our Ming Dynasty."

"I will do my best to assist General Zhang." Liu Xingwen said.

"This is one of them." Qin Feng continued: "Secondly, Liu's family was already a well-known Dafang in the world, and now it has been even more advanced. Over the years, Liu's family has grown countless branches and leaves, all under the banner of Liu. In addition to being busy with state affairs, you need to be more rigorous in the management of the family. Beware that someone has pulled the tiger's skin and made a big banner, which will eventually harm the entire Liu family, and destroyed the ant hole. There are countless such things in history, and you must know them well."

"I understand." Liu Xingwen said.

"In some ways, it may be more difficult for you to manage your family than for you. As the Minister of War, there is also a Zhang Xiaomao who is holding you over, but you are the only one who can be responsible for your family. A few days ago, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Eagle Nest submitted a report about some of the Liu family's side branches. Go back and forth, Eunuch Le will hand over some excerpts of this report to you, mainly those who are illegal. Some are those who are robbing and those who bully others with power. You can handle these things yourself."

Liu Xingwen stood up suddenly: "Your Majesty, I really don't know about these things. In the past two years, I have been leading troops outside and rarely pay attention to family affairs."

"That's why I left these things to you first." Qin Feng said lightly.

"I understand that Your Majesty, I will deal with it within the family first, and then transfer them to Yousi. Such people will not tolerate family laws, and even more so tolerate national laws." Liu Xingwen said sternly.

"This is a good thing." Qin Feng nodded: "Liu and the royal family have shared weal and woe. Quan Yunchang said to me that the emperor has no family affairs, and family affairs are state affairs. I hope you have this awareness, because all the actions of Liu family will be linked to the royal family."

"I must keep in mind your Majesty's instructions today, manage your family with strictness and serve the king with loyalty."

"So good." Qin Feng chuckled: "To be honest, your little daughter is really likable. Not only is she handsome, but her little mouth is even sweeter. The queen has only been taking her to the palace for more than a month. Now everyone in the palace likes her very much."

Speaking of this little daughter who made Liu reach the peak again, Liu Xingwen smiled happily on his face. "This is all the wrong love between His Majesty and the Empress."

"The queen took her to the palace for upbringing, which also allowed her to have more contact with Xiao Wu, live and study together since childhood, and have a deeper relationship. I hope you can understand this, it is not about taking away your family happiness."

"It is her blessing for the little girl to be educated by the Empress. Liu only has a grateful heart, so how dare you have any resentment?" Liu Xingwen said quickly.
