Chapter 55 Civil and Military
Xu Qing made up his mind and took action immediately. He first found his butler Xu Fu.
Xu Fu is now more and more comfortable doing these chores. Xu Qing took the time to teach him the basic Crane Shape Technique and exercise him.
This man has a harsh mouth, has no relatives in Jiangning Mansion, and has no interests related to him. Xu Qing is very satisfied with him.
He also made a big deal out of Xu Fu, and when the time was right, he would bring Xu Fu's wife and children over. Now he has contacted the county's Yicheng to inquire about Xu Fu's hometown.
Speaking of the post station in this county, the Zhou family arranged for Huang Lai'er, her mother's child who originally wanted to inherit, to work as a post boy. Post soldiers follow the post station and can also eat public food. It is not a lowly status. In the future, if the younger generation is promising, they can also take the scholar examination.
This is a great care for my mother's family.
The family also asked Xu Qing to give him a name. Xu Qing encouraged him with the words "Heaven is strong and self-improvement will never stop" and named it "Self-improvement."
However, Xu Qing has never seen this person before.
Because winter is about to begin, it is hard for farmers to survive. They must first help the family prepare daily necessities for the winter, and then go to the inn to work, which can also save a sum of food for the winter.
Ordinary farmers have to live a careful life, otherwise they will have no ability to resist risks. If they encounter any natural or man-made disaster, they will just wait for the sale of their children and the annexation of their land!
Xu Qing ordered Xu Fu to find Mi Qiang, the current overlord of the salt industry in the fish market. The funds for future social resumption activities will temporarily come from Xu Qing's share of the fish market.
By the way, let Mi Qiang be responsible for the peripheral security when social activities resume in the future.
Don’t think that the scholars of this era have nothing to do with the gangsters who dominate the market.
In fact, people like Mi Qiang have gone one step further and developed into an organized gang. The biggest role of the Daxing is not to bully and dominate the market, but to collect taxes on behalf of the gentry, powerful officials, etc.
It has a similar function to the demolition team in Xu Qing's previous life.
After all, there are some things that are not suitable for gentlemen to come forward.
Professional things naturally have to be done by professional people.
From now on, Mi Qiang and other thugs will be in charge of military affairs, with Guo Zhuang and others as their protective umbrella; when the society is restored, they will concentrate on civil affairs. Xu Qing can be regarded as having a civil and military team under his command.
Don't look at it as simple. He started with one bowl, but his team was worse than him.
When it comes to doing things, ability comes second. The key is reliability and knowing the basics. Ordinary abilities can be cultivated.
How difficult can it be to be the magistrate of a place?
Often big things have past precedents, and trivial matters have masters. As long as the county magistrate is not an expert in micro-managing, there is basically nothing wrong with a smooth transition to the next term.
…
…
Xu Qing took Yan Shan without going to the academy first. Instead, he met Mi Qiang and his party in the abandoned yard of the Zhao family.
Mi Qiang is much more majestic now than in the past. When he goes out, he is surrounded by the guardians and the Four Vajras.
Actually, these people were all the food bullies of the Jinguang Temple vegetable garden. Now they were driven away by another group of food bullies, so they came to join Mi Qiang.
They had also heard of Xu Sanyuan’s name and background, and when they saw the real person, they all felt a little guilty.
No way, this legend was the one who wiped out the original black and white overlords of Qingshui County, the Zhao family, into ashes just by talking and laughing.
These little guys, when they meet such a big Buddha, they can't show their usual ferocity.
Everyone wanted to turn into a pug and lick Xu Sanyuan's toes.
On the way to Xu Fulai, he had already conveyed the general meaning of Xu Qing to Mi Qiang.
Mi Qiang was naturally very excited.
From a salt dealer who bullied the market to a regular thieves, this is an industrial upgrade. Moreover, it was integrated into a trading company and the original salt was still sold.
The key is that they sound different.
Next, Xu Qing was just responsible for explaining the rules of the fight to Mi Qiang and asking him to act accordingly. The rules are similar to those of the fighting industry of this era.
To put it bluntly, there are very few born evil people.
Whether you are a salt seller, a thug, or a food lord, you are all doing it to make ends meet. The difference is that if an ordinary salt dealer or vegetable tycoon encounters a tough guy and is crippled, his accomplices will not pay any attention to him.
In regular businesses, people will pay for soup and medicine. Even if they are disabled, they will arrange a job of collecting money and give them a meal.
These guys were all excited when they heard that a fighting bank was to be formed.
As for the hall leader, Mi Qiang was still in charge, but the financial affairs of the bank were completely controlled by Xu Fulai from then on.
Xu Qing also gave this new student a name, "Yihetang".
He also ordered Xu Fu to find more orphans and raise them in Yihetang. In the future, these children will be the backbone of Yihetang.
In the future, he also plans to let the members who have returned to the society take turns giving lectures to these orphans.
Firstly, it unifies the idea of saving the world and saving the people, secondly, if there are outstanding people, they can be cultivated in civil affairs, and thirdly, it can improve the bad reputation of the criminal industry.
Currently Xu Qing still has to focus on his own training. After a while, he will try to summarize a set of basic boxing techniques from the Bull Demon Power Fist, Crane Shaping Technique, Bagua Youshen Palm and other kung fu, and teach them An orphan found for Xu Fu.
In addition, some girls must be recruited to teach basic medical knowledge
With this set of skills, his career has a foundation.
Even if something big happens in the future, there will be enough room to deal with it calmly.
“It costs a lot of money to do these things, and we have to continue to open up new ways to make money.”
For this, Xu Qing already had a plan in mind.
Because Li Dianshi will soon take charge of the river inspection of Jiangning River, the fish market’s fish and salt business can now be further expanded. He wants to make Jiangning River and the rivers managed by Li Dianshi use Jiangning Mansion of official salt.
Anyway, Magistrate He has already announced that he will support Xu Qing in reviving his family business. If Xu Qing does not revive, he will not give the prefect face.
In addition, underwriting the official salt of Jiangning Prefecture is also of great benefit to He Zhifu.
These are all real achievements.
Of course, this kind of thing will definitely infringe on the interests of others.
The cake in the world is so big. If you have more, others will have less.
But Xu Qing now has the background and means to fight against his competitors, so there is no need to be timid.
This is also the benefit of rebuilding and restoring society.
The opponent wants to throw dirty water, but Xu Qing still has people from ordinary families under his command to promote public opinion. It is easier for these people to publicize Xu Qing's good deeds to the bottom.
After all, if you don’t occupy the position of public opinion, others will.
…
…
After the affairs of Yihetang were sorted out, Xu Qing and Yan Shan asked the club members to come to the front yard of Li's house. There was a meeting hall here and it was convenient to prepare tea.
For the members of Yihetang, Xu Qing lured them to benefit.
For the members of the society, Xu Qing lured them with huge profits!
Of course, this heavy profit is not money, but Xu Qing’s experience in eight-part essay.
With his current foundation and his soul that is far more powerful than ordinary people, there is no need to worry about leaking his experience in the eight-part essay and causing others to threaten his provincial examination.
What's more, the number of places for each township examination in Nanzhili is more than 100.
More importantly, that was three years later.
Xu Qing took the experience of the eight-part essay as the core interest of restoring the society, and naturally all the members were convinced.
Even Yan Shan couldn’t help but admire Xu Qing.
Xu Sanyuan, he... is serious!
