Chapter 236

The case of water ghost was solved, which made Qin mubai and Li Ke famous in Jingxiang!

The water ghost party, which was left over from the Sui Dynasty for decades, was completely destroyed. Du Chengyuan and Wei Xiaochen, the two local tyrants, collapsed overnight. Duan Rongji and Ouyang Jun, the two local gentry, were won by one move. It seems that all this happened only overnight.

When the news came out, Jingxiang roared and deafened!

For ordinary people, Baojia and Lizheng in the countryside are both "big people". A casual remark from others may change the fate of a family. As for the county magistrate and the officers of the army, it is not necessary to say that they are people who eat imperial food. They can only look up to them. For many years, Wei Xiaochen, Du Chengyuan and others have been the uncrowned emperors in the eyes of Jingxiang people. Many common people, unexpectedly, only know Wei Du and don't know the emperor.

Just before they could remember the names of Li Ke and Qin mubai, Wei Du and others were taken down and stewed in one pot!

This kind of speed and decisiveness is just like cutting the hemp and burning the prairie fire. It's too fast to cover your ears. It's unexpected and thrilling!

Overnight, the names of Li Ke and Qin mubai resounded through Jingxiang.

It seems that the soul of Chinese people's eight trigrams comes from their ancestors. At this moment, the soul of Jingxiang people's eight trigrams is burning up. Many versions of the story began to spread among the people from the day it was published. Under the influence of some talented eight diagrams kings, the story of Li Ke and Qin mubai fighting against water ghosts has been widely spread. In different versions of the legend, Li Ke and Qin mubai either incarnate as Zhuge Liang's "more intelligent and almost demonic" God stick, or incarnate as an enhanced version of Li Kui, who beat a hundred and cut ten streets without changing face and breath. In a word, they are exaggerating. They are just like gods and demons.

In the leisure places like the wine shop, there are also various kinds of songs used to sing their deeds and merits, telling their stories which are more than 100 times exaggerated. There are also some young officials or official literati who have a lot of spare time, starting from a variety of mentality. He wrote numerous poems in praise of merits and deeds, or spread them in the form of ink treasures, or inscribed them directly on the walls of scenic spots and famous shops for people to read and see.

The power of the soul of eight trigrams is powerful, and the efficiency of oral transmission of eight trigrams is no less than that of modern high-tech media. Before long, Li Ke and Qin mubai, who were born with ordinary bodies, seemed to be deified by the people of Jingxiang, and became a glorious "legend", reaching a height that can only be looked up to.

What's more worth mentioning is that the amorous Jingxiang woman has two more people to miss since then. Li Ke, the king of Wu, is handsome and muddleheaded, with incomparably noble blood and birth; Qin mubai, a young hero with both intelligence and bravery, is also elegant and unrestrained I don't know how many women and girls there are. My heart trembles when I hear their names, and I feel lonely when I feel my heart rippling in the middle of the night.

At the moment, as one of the legends, Qin mubai is living the same life as usual. After the noise, he enjoyed the peace. I stayed in the barracks for several days, and I was busy cleaning up the barracks and taking care of military affairs.

When the water ghost case was solved, many people were implicated in Xiangzhou military mansion. More than ten officials, big and small, would be dismissed and charged. More than half of the water army in Zuoying was abolished. The whole camp was in a panic.

Qin mubai knew that this was the best time to rectify the Junfu and establish Enwei. Break and stand. It's like starting all over again. It is in his best interest to completely break the old revolutionary situation.

Therefore, Qin mubai issued the order of Junfu, and issued a list to recruit soldiers. A major personnel reform was carried out in the whole military mansion. In fact, the personnel system of the whole military mansion was subverted, and it was a completely new reconstruction. Although these Baiqi brought from Chang'an were black sheep, they did not affect their status and ability, nor did they affect Qin mubai's trust in them. Among the remaining 30, in addition to Pang Fei, who had already served as the commander of Guoyi, more than half of them were appointed as the team leader, brigade commander and school captain, or in charge of the key departments such as Qi Cao, Liang Cao and Zhou Cao.

Even Du Chengyuan and Zhao Chong have been uprooted. Who has the ability to challenge Qin mubai in Junfu? Therefore, Qin mubai was almost one man dictatorial in doing all these things. With a stroke of the pen or a movement of the tongue, the matter was settled, and no one raised any doubts.

The Tang Dynasty, a martial arts country, never worries about the source of troops. Within two days after the release of the list, Qin mubai's reputation called on him to fill the camp in an instant. Because there were so many people joining the army, they had to choose and choose among the elite. At the same time, a group of old, young, disabled and weak soldiers in the general's house were sent away, and they had a big exchange of blood.

Xiangzhou military mansion, after the great change of blood, became full of vitality. Qin mubai ordered that the whole battalion, whether veterans or recruits, Yueqi recruits or ordinary soldiers, begin to re train because of the great mix. Of course, all the subjects of practice are completely new, and they are approved by Qin mubai himself. The elite Baiqi officers and soldiers infiltrated into every detail of the Junfu, and will give full play to their advantages in technical warfare and military affairs, and drive the whole Junfu to flourish.

Qin mubai worked hard to rectify the military mansion. Because he knew that his duty was to be a general. If we don't make some achievements in military affairs, we can't say that other patterns are too good. He didn't expect to train these ordinary folk in Xiangzhou military mansion like Baiqi. But at least, we must let them become "the elite in the army".It's Qin Mu Bai's habit that he doesn't want to reach the peak, but he works hard and excels others in everything.

After a few days, Qin mubai, who had been busy for a long time, was finally able to sneak away and go out for a stroll on the premise that the Junfu situation was stable and everything was on the right track.

Yesterday, King Wu sent a letter saying that Zheng Anshun didn't show up after he was rescued. He stayed in Jingzhou for a long time. With the help of the local military office and yamen, he was responsible for taking care of a "catastrophe" left by the water ghost. Recently, he was finally busy and came to Xiangzhou. Anyway, I have to see him.

Moreover, this "catastrophe" really surprised Qin mubai. That is, the Shuigui party has accumulated a huge amount of official grain and salt in recent years. Li Ke invited Qin mubai to meet him, and he also meant to discuss how to deal with this pile of things.

Qin mubai handed over the military affairs to Pang Fei, simply cleaned up and left the barracks for the assassin's residence. On the way, he pondered for a while, thinking that although Pang Fei was loyal and obedient, he could handle the things he told him, but he always felt that he was not competent enough at present. He always felt a little uneasy when he was asked to stand alone. I wish I had a strong right arm around me. Think of a way to see if you can "borrow" Xue Rengui to the military mansion. In any case, he was also an officer in the royal palace. There was no difference between the military household and the official position. It was common for him to be transferred from one officer to another. When they get to the place, as long as they nod their heads with Li Ke, the governor, and symbolically report to the Ministry of war, things will be done.

In the backyard of the assassin's mansion, Li Ke's hearty laughter was heard from a distance. He and Zheng Anshun were sitting in the hall, not knowing what they were talking about. They were particularly speculative and happy.

"Look, here comes the hero of Qin, ha ha!" They both got up to greet each other.

Qin mubai stepped forward quickly and said with a smile, "dare you trouble your royal highness King Wu to greet young master Zheng? Stop it, stop it

"Oh! Jingxiang's most famous hero is here. Who dares not to greet him? " Li Ke laughs, "I'm really shining!"

"Well, don't be sarcastic." Qin mubai smiles, turns to Zheng Anshun, and says, "brother Zheng, you've suffered a period of imprisonment. I'm really ashamed!"

"No harm, no harm." Zheng Anshun waved his hand with a smile, "although he was imprisoned, he was not abused. It's delicious and delicious. There's someone waiting on it, but there's no one like your highness and brother Qin to drink together. I'm really depressed for a while. "

"Ha ha, I don't want to be drunk today." Li Ke laughed and walked into the hall with their shoulders on his left and right. He said, "in other words, I've been looking forward to today for some time. After the water ghost case was solved, I was busy with government affairs and reorganizing the government. Mubai went back to the camp to reorganize the military camp, and brother Zheng was also in Jingzhou to clean up the aftermath. This is more than half a hope! Today, the three of us finally gathered together. I didn't say that. The table. With a big drink

"Listen to Jun's life!" Qin mubai and Zheng Anshun both laughed.

It's not simply a matter of putting the tables together to eat. Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to etiquette and law, respect and inferiority. Even if a family has a meal together, it's also an orderly life, with everyone eating at different tables. Not to mention the royal family. Who should sit where, that is the rules, no one dares to cross the thunder. As a result, there is the most polite and honorable way to treat people. For example, in the romance of the Three Kingdoms, the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang "eat at the same table and sleep at the same bed", which is a typical example of no distinction between superiority and inferiority, close to each other.

The tables were put together, and soon all the good food and wine were brought up. Qin Mu Bai growled in his stomach and said with a smile, "ha ha, I've eaten fish, dried vegetables and brown rice in the military camp for half a month. Today is a dental sacrifice. The cooks in your house are OK, your highness. These are all famous dishes in the palace! "

"Of course, you don't see who you're entertaining!" Li Ke grinned and said, "we are all from Chang'an. When we are in a foreign land, should we miss Chang'an cuisine? Ha ha, come on, move your chopsticks, you must eat and drink today

"Please

After three rounds of half full food and wine, all three of them had a good time.

"As the saying goes, a thousand cups of wine are few for a bosom friend. I haven't drunk for some days in the military camp, so today I'll open my stomach and have a good meal with you. " Qin mubai came to toast with a big cup.

"Don't be in a hurry. Don't drink too fast. Otherwise, it's not good to be drunk and fall to the ground. " As soon as Li Ke waved his hand, they knew that he had something to say, so they put down their cups and listened to him.

"Today, I'd like to discuss something with you while I'm drinking." Li Ke said to Qin mubai, "when you didn't come just now, I had discussed with brother Zheng about it. Now I want to hear your opinion."

"Yes, your highness."

Li Ke said: "although the water ghost case has been solved, Xiangzhou has also suffered a lot, especially the commercial port. First of all, the Zhengchang grain company and Yongye salt shop fell down, and there was a problem in the transportation and distribution of grain and salt. Recently, I personally sent government officials to manage them temporarily. However, the government is not a businessman after all, without their mature management methods and means of operation, so the effect is not ideal. In addition, Duan Rongji and Ouyang Jun, the two business leaders, were overthrown. Many businessmen in Xiangzhou were afraid of the news, or closed down to avoid the limelight, or moved their families to seek a new life. Many times I sent people to appease me, but the result was not very good. It's not good to go on like this. Xiangzhou's commercial ports and docks have always been the most important source of finance. If we do not reopen the commercial port as soon as possible, the people's livelihood and tax revenue of the whole state will be in a big trouble. ""So I just asked brother Zheng. Originally, my idea was that the Zheng family would take over the official grain and salt shops in Xiangzhou. " Li Ke said, "with the prestige and ability of the Zheng family, I think it will be possible in a very short time. Reorganize the commercial port and restore its vitality. "

"Yes, there is really no more suitable person than the Zheng family." Qin Mu Bai nodded, "is there anything else to discuss?"

"But, brother Zheng, he refused." Li Ke shook his head with a wry smile, "please help me persuade him."

Zheng Anshun said with a smile: "Your Highness, haven't I explained everything to you clearly? Brother Qin, you'd better keep your mouth shut. "

Qin Mu Bai doubtfully frowned: "brother Zheng, can you tell me the reason for your refusal?"

"Of course." Zheng Anshun nodded and said, "all along, businesses have their own rules and customs. Although our Zheng family has done business in 90% of the counties in the Tang Dynasty, we have never touched Xiangzhou. As for the reasons, I have explained them before. In a word. It is the businessmen in Xiangzhou who have always held an attitude of resistance and disgust towards the Zheng family in Chang'an. Now, although Duan Rongji and Ouyang Jun are toppled, it is not so easy to change Xiangzhou businessmen's ideas. The most important thing to manage the official business is the channels and contacts. If the local business gentry dislikes us, it will be very difficult to do business. The second is whether we can make money or not. We can't afford to delay the use of substances such as grain and salt. If there is delay and obstruction in the process of transshipment and distribution, it may mean that tens of thousands of people are facing famine and salt shortage, or the army is in danger of running out of food and fighting. No one can afford this kind of risk. "

"How?" Li Ke frowned. He said, "if you get the official grain and salt in hand, there will be a situation where you can't distribute them? Businessmen from all channels, do they not make any money? "

"Not so, your highness." Qin mubai said, "although I'm an outsider in business, I've learned a lot about it when I'm with Wu Meiniang. As the saying goes, peers envy each other. In addition to win-win cooperation, there are also competitions among businessmen. If you make a lot of money, people will be jealous and want to earn more than you. Maybe it will also make some insidious moves bad for your business. Even if they don't necessarily earn more, they will be happy to see you earn less. Although it is a small number, there is no lack of such shady people in the world. If the merchants in Xiangzhou were hostile to the Zheng family in Chang'an, it would be even more difficult to say. As brother Zheng said, earning or not is the second. If you still bear the potential risk, it is not worth it. In business, especially those who do big business like the Zheng family, the most important thing is not whether the profits are abundant, but whether the risks and costs of business are commensurate with the profits. Am I right, brother Zheng? "

"Indeed. Brother Qin is really a fellow Zheng Anshun nodded, smiling and said, "it's not that Zheng has no confidence to do business in Xiangzhou, but that he really can't achieve the effect that his highness said. In other words, I can't reorganize Xiangzhou commercial port which is facing paralysis in a very short time. I suggest that your highness appoint an experienced, powerful and potential leader who is unfamiliar to local merchants in Xiangzhou to take over the position left by Duan Rongji and Ouyang Jun as the leader of Xiangzhou commercial port. This person, it's better to be younger. It is only in this way that we can achieve the best results. "

Qin Mu Bai nodded and smile, heart way: Zheng Anshun is really a genius businessman. What he said sounds simple, but it contains a well-known business philosophy in the 21st century - catfish effect.

fishermen transport sardine, but this fish is too delicate. It always causes high mortality due to hypoxia during transportation. Obviously, dead fish are no more valuable than live fish, so fishermen try their best to think about countermeasures. A carnivorous catfish was finally found in the fish barn of the sardine sardines.

in this way, in the process of transportation, the character is lazy and love quiet sardine, so that in order to avoid predators' prey, they have to move away from the warehouse. As a result, the problem of fish dying of lack of oxygen was solved. Moreover, "life is movement", and the sardine crazily stimulated by the instinct of survival is more alive than that when it was first caught.

Thus, the catfish effect is widely used in the management of enterprises and personnel. In a dead group, the introduction of a strong competitive figure, so as to stimulate other members to "fight back.". So as to achieve the effect of activating the whole group. Practice has proved that this move is far more effective than the internal rectification of changing the soup without changing the dressing and the institutional reform of promoting the soup and stopping the boiling.

Qin mubai brought a group of Baiqi from Chang'an, eliminated the old soldiers and recruited new soldiers into the military mansion. In fact, he was using the "catfish effect" to reinvigorate the military mansion.

Of course, Zheng Anshun never learned this kind of thing, but he learned this truth from his family's edification and business experience. Such an idea may be common to us, but for the ancients who advocated the doctrine of the mean, it was very advanced and could be said to surpass the times.

Otherwise, how can Chang'an Zheng family become the richest man in the Tang Dynasty? How could it be so if there were not something out of the way.

"Mubai, what's your opinion?" After listening to Zheng Anshun, Li Ke asked Qin mubai."Brother Zheng said it very well. I'll show my approval with both hands." Qin mubai nodded and said, "the Zheng family's insight is really unusual. I admire it!"

"No, brother Qin has praised me." Zheng Anshun said with a modest smile, "compared with brother Qin's great wisdom, courage and magnanimity, Zheng's trick is really not on the table."

However, Li Ke was distressed and muttered: "we need someone who has experience, strength and potential. You have to be a young, energetic and enterprising businessman. Where can I find one for a while? "

Zheng Anshun has a well-established smile: "Your Highness, why do you have to search for a candidate? Isn't there one in front of you?"

"Me?" Qin Mu Bai immediately laughed, "don't tease, how can it be!"

"Yes, he is a general. How does a general do business?" Wait Li Ke's reaction was quick, and his eyes suddenly became bright. He slapped his fist and laughed, "right, right! Why didn't I think of that! "

Qin Mu Bai grinned: "how can I smell a trace of conspiracy?"

"Wu Meiniang!" Zheng Anshun and Qin mubai said the same thing, and then they clapped their hands and laughed together.

"Sure enough..." Qin Mu shook his head, "I knew it. It's not kind of you to call me. Such a mess, I still have to put it on my head and let me clean it up. "

"Don't talk nonsense. You're the only one." Li Ke rubbed his hands and said with a bad smile, "Wu Meiniang, who has experience, strength and potential, is a business genius that even the Zheng family's old man praises. What's more, she is young, courageous and brave. This is the most wonderful. And then we went to Xiangzhou. What else can't we do with the support of our Lord and the help of your respected general? That's it! Tomorrow, I'll send someone to Chang'an to meet Wu Meiniang! "

Qin Mu Bai's mouth twitched a few times and murmured: "what about her business in Chang'an? As far as I know, he just set up a store and started installing spring a few years ago. He has no money left. How can he come to Xiangzhou to do business? ——Don't count on me, general. He's a very poor and honest official! "

"Ha ha!" Li Ke and Zheng Anshun both laughed. In the end, Li Ke said, "Qinxian Pavilion is just a wine shop. No matter how well it is run. Is it worth the food and salt of the whole state to help her make money? There are still people in the Wu family. Let others take care of the wine shop! As for the capital of doing business in Xiangzhou, Mr. Zheng is here. Why worry about money? "

"Isn't that good?" Qin mubai said, "how can you do your own business with Zheng's money?"

"Let me tell you that, brother Qin." Zheng Anshun said with a smile, "as for how to deal with the large amount of food and salt left by the water ghost, his highness discussed with Zheng for a long time. Before that, his highness had written to the emperor to comply with the holy will. As a result, Shengyi said that this group of stolen goods originally belonged to the officials and should be returned to their original owners. Originally, it was supposed to be transported to Chang'an and Luoyang and stored in Imperial warehouses. However, the quantity is too large to transport and keep for a while. Therefore, his majesty decided to keep half of them in Xiangzhou and sell them in the form of official grain and salt. After returning the capital and making profits, they successively turned in grain tax and salt tax. In other words, half of the hundreds of thousands of stone grain and official salt will now be given free credit, and the merchants who will take over the official grain and salt shops will sell them first, and then turn in the tax after the money is sold. Moreover, out of reward and comfort, the emperor ordered that within two years, the official grain and salt merchants in Xiangzhou would only collect half taxes. Brother Qin, this is probably the best business in the world. To put it bluntly, it's a business without capital, and it's a huge profit. It's a steady profit. "

Qin mubai couldn't understand. For a moment, his eyes widened: "what's the good thing? You two have been fooling around for a long time. In fact, you are just giving me a taste of sweetness! "

"Ha ha, you finally understand!" Zheng Anshun laughed, and then said seriously, "brother Qin has made great contributions. Not only your highness is grateful for your help, but Zheng is also grateful for your help. Even the emperor also intends to reward you. The tax reduction of the imperial court is the benefit of his Highness's governor's office? "

"Not bad." Li Ke said with a smile, "half of the tax revenue of hundreds of thousands of stone grain and salt is so huge that I dare to take it alone? Besides you, Qin mubai, who else is qualified to share with me? "

"So, to put it bluntly today, the three of us are sharing the spoils?" Qin mubai said with a smile.

"Ha ha, almost!" Li Ke also laughed and said. "Half of the grain and salt will be transported to Guanzhong by brother Zheng and will be distributed by the Zheng family. Brother Zheng is a kind-hearted man who is always happy with his contentment. After earning this sum, he has no intention of robbing us. What do you think, mubai. Money is a good thing. Why don't you ask your mistress to help you with the money? "

"Got it!" Qin mubai made a snap of his finger. He was happy in his heart!

This trip is not in vain!

From today on, I'm going to become an explosive household! Moreover, before long, Wu Meiniang will become the king of business in Xiangzhou.

This kind of repeated tossing and turning, it is really hard to think about wealth!
