Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 185
The yamen servant left, and the princess continued to say: "Your Dengzhou City is the center of the whole Dengzhou Prefecture. We will know how the refugees are resettled when they come back. Let's talk about other things first."

"The imperial envoy and I were at your banquet the day before yesterday. You kept saying that Qin Feng, the county magistrate of Ninghai, was full of evil and committed all kinds of evil. He openly resisted the order and disobeyed his superiors. You also called him an official who bullied the people. But I came to Ninghai with the imperial envoy. , but found that this is not the case. You have white teeth and spurted blood. What do you say about this?"

"Your Highness, the villain is telling the truth!"

The magistrate remembered that he saw coolies digging on the mountain on the way here, and suddenly felt that he had something to say.

"Your Highness, don't be fooled by this Qin Feng. This Qin Feng drove a large number of refugees to the mountains to mine mines. However, in Ninghai County, no one has ever applied for an approval to open a coal mine. Isn't this oppressing the people? Qin Feng is a sinister person, which can be seen."

He knelt down and said firmly.

Qin Feng was laughed out of anger.

"Master Zhifu, who told you that there are coal mines in this county?"

He winked at the people around him: "Go, get the approval document for our saltpeter mine and show it to the magistrate."

The yamen servant next to him rushed to the county yamen immediately, and rushed back after a while: "Master Qin, here is the approval."

Qin Feng took the approval document, endured the pain on his body, stood up and unfolded the approval document, and shook it in front of the prefect: "Master prefect, please look, this is the approval document from your Dengzhou prefecture, and there is your official seal on it Such a big matter, as the magistrate, you don’t even know about it?”

"Could it be that... your official seal is in the hands of others? These things have never been for the purpose?"

The magistrate stared blankly, then immediately lowered his head and did not speak.

The seal on it is really his magistrate's seal.

Qin Feng guessed right, the magistrate has long put his official seal in the hands of his confidantes. Apart from accepting bribes, making friends with noble gentry, and seeking the people's anointing, he is not responsible at all.

Therefore, Qin Feng is digging mountains and mines in the county, and he doesn't know anything about it.

The evidence in his hand is conclusive, and now he has no way to deny it.

At this time, if it is a fake, if the princess asks someone to fetch his official seal for verification, he will still be slapped in the face, so the magistrate simply did not refute it, and just kowtowed to admit his mistake.

Then, the princess described Qin Feng's achievements in Ninghai County.

Controlling locusts, relocating refugees, reclaiming wasteland, digging saltpeter mines, inventing roast duck, inventing air-conditioning fans, all these things have been said again.

Most of the people who eat in Chunxiang Building are locals from Ninghai County.They had already noticed Qin Feng's achievements, they knew that Qin Feng was a good official, and the princess had nothing to say, so they nodded and applauded, as evidence for the princess.

Some people who came to Ninghai County from other places were also very envious when they heard it.

"Ninghai County is so good that I, a foreigner, even want to come to Ninghai County to settle down..."

As soon as the words fell, someone shouted at the door: "Come on, our family is a farmer from other places."

"what?"

"Ninghai County also accepts farmers from other places? Isn't it just for refugees?"

The out-of-towner looked at the crowd at the door, as if he had come back to rest at noon, and asked the farmer who was working in the field.

"No, in the past two days, the county magistrate has posted notices all over Dengzhou Prefecture, saying that the land in Ninghai County only needs [-]% of the rent, and we have no land in many places, or people who have to pay high rent for farming, They all ran over here. It is also a year of work, and I get more in Ninghai County, so idiots don’t come.”

The man smiled naively: "I heard that the number of places is getting less and less. If you plan to come, you have to hurry."

"It's so good... I can introduce my brother to come here. I am a businessman myself, so there is no need to come here."

When Qin Feng heard it, he was a merchant?Immediately happy: "Businessmen can also settle in my Ninghai County."

"Ninghai County will be the largest commercial center in the province in the next three years. A large area of ​​land outside the city has already been planned to be used as a commercial center. Pay a certain amount of silver, and you can do business with merchants all over the world!"

Qin Feng did have a plan.

After hearing this, the foreign businessman smiled disapprovingly, and waved his hand to refuse: "The whole world? Hehehe, Mr. Qin is joking. You are just a small county..."

"Don't rush to refuse, this county never jokes. I advise you to seize the opportunity, but don't wait for the commercial center of this county to be built, and your quota will be gone."

The princess praised Qin Feng just now, and the merchant's blood surged when he heard it. With Qin Feng's words, he couldn't help but be convinced.

"If you come to Ninghai County, how much money do you need to pay every year to settle in this commercial center? How much is the settlement fee in Ninghai County?"

That's what I was worried about.

Qin Feng shook his head and promised him: "There is no settling fee, you just come here, pay to build a house to live in yourself, after the completion of the commercial center, it will be free for the first three years, if you feel that the business can't be done, you can leave directly, three years After that, we will discuss how much to pay!"

What Qin Feng lacks now is people. The most important thing for a commercial center is to include products from all over the world.

As long as businessmen from all over the world are attracted, Ninghai County will have everything. Coming to Ninghai is equivalent to visiting the whole country. Will the business not be popular?

When the merchants have made money, he will take a cut from it, and the cost will be recovered soon, and he will only earn more and more in the future, and Ninghai County will develop better and better.

When the merchant heard it, wasn't this a pie that fell from the sky?

There is no settling fee, and the commercial center does not need money for the first three years, so why not come?
He is now doing business in the city where he is located. The money from the shop alone is nearly ten thousand taels of silver in one year. In three years, doesn't this mean that he has picked up 3 taels for nothing?

The current scale of Ninghai County is not small compared to my own place. No matter how bad the business is, how bad can it be?
"Okay! Then I'll try for three years!"

"It's a matter here, you can follow me to the county government office to go through the formalities..."

Qin Feng laughed.

He had already thought about this matter of attracting investment, but he didn't expect that once the princess came, it would save him a meeting to promote it.

After a while, the yamen servant who went to Dengzhou Prefecture to detain people came back with a fat man.

When the yamen servant saw the fat man, the fat man was tied up, so he untied him, brought him over, and told the fat man about the situation along the way.

As soon as the fat man entered the door, he saw his magistrate kneeling. He was in a bad mood, so he knelt down with a plop: "My lord, Your Royal Highness, are ordered by my lord...it's none of my business..."
