Next day:

Qin Qi got up to exercise. After eating breakfast, she went to the living room of the General's Mansion to wait for Xun Yu to bring his people to meet him.

"Xingbang, let me introduce to you, this is Du Xi, Du Zixu, one of the four famous scholars in Yingchuan; this is Chen Qun and Chen Wenchang, from Yingchuan Academy."

Xun Yu said.

Chen Qun looks to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, which is indeed a bit young, but still slightly older than Gu Yong.

He is 1.70 meters tall, thin, handsome in appearance, and smells like a scholar. He is worthy of being the eldest son of the Chen Ji family.

Du Xi is less than 1.70 meters tall. He is in his twenties. He looks slightly older than Xun Wenruo. He has an average appearance and is not handsome.

But what?

The scent of books on Du Xi's body is stronger, as if he has read poetry and books, and is familiar with the classics and history. There is a kind of elegance in his body.

"I've met General Qin!"

Chen Qun and Du Xi saluted.

Qin Qi immediately stood up and returned the gift to the two of them. Etiquette was very important in the Han Dynasty and must be followed one by one.

"Wen Chang, Zi Xu, you're welcome. Sit down quickly and let's chat while drinking tea. Wen Ruo also sits down and let's chat together."

Qin Qi said.

"Serve tea, serve good tea."

Qin Qi said.

The maid brought in three cups of Longjing tea. The tea leaves floated in the glass cups, which looked very beautiful.

The faint fragrance of tea comes out, and even those who don't know how to drink tea will want to take a sip after smelling it.

"Master Qin, is this the legendary finest tea?"

Chen Qun said.

oh!

"This tea has different processing techniques and different drinking methods. You don't need to boil it to drink it, you just need to soak it in boiling water."

Qin Qi said.

“Great tea!”

Du Xidao.

hehe!

"If you like it, when you leave, each person can take a bag back to taste. I still have some here. When the new tea comes out, I will give it to you two."

Qin Qi said.

"Master Qin, does new tea taste better than old tea?"

Chen Qun said.

"This kind of tea is green tea, also called fried green tea. The fresher the tea leaves, the better the taste. You can drink the original flavor of the tea leaves."

Qin Qi said.

"Thank you, Mr. Qin."

Du Xidao.

"Wen Chang, Zi Xu, don't be polite. We are having a private gathering. Don't call us adults. We can't bear it.

You two are great talents recommended by Wen Ruo. You are extremely knowledgeable and talented, and you know everything about classics and history.

If you can afford it, just call it Xingbang, or give it your own name."

Qin Qi said.

"Xingbang, I came from Yingchuan. I met many people along the way and moved my family to Xiakou."

Du Xidao.

well!

Qin Qi let out a long sigh.

"It hasn't rained for a long time, and the crops in the fields have been severely damaged. The people have nothing to eat. After hearing about the resettlement in Jingzhou,

Food is given to the people to take refuge. As the governor of Jingzhou, it is the responsibility to provide shelter to the people affected by the disaster.

When you go to Jingzhou, as long as you work, you will receive food. If you are willing to live in Jingzhou area, the Yamen will help build a house.

Free land distribution. Everything depends on the people. It is purely voluntary and no one enforces it."

Qin Qi said.

"As far as I know, Jingzhou has been resettling the people in the past two years. Where does the Yamen get the food?"

Du Xidao.

"Zixu, the thing is like this, the Jingzhou area will definitely not be able to provide food, and the military is still on the campaign trail in Jiaozhou.

All the grain was paid for by Xingbang privately, and people were sent to Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Jizhou, Yanzhou and other grain-producing areas to purchase."

Xun Yu said.

hehe!

"I have some property, and was appointed by the emperor as General Zhennan, in charge of Jingzhou and Jiaozhou areas. I must worry about the people and cannot watch them starve to death on the streets."

Qin Qi said.

"Perhaps you two have heard that the official position I got is not very fair, but what does it matter?

As long as they can do things for the people, whether they are honest or not is not the key issue. For those officials with good roots, have they seen that they are doing their best to resettle the victims?

No! They drove all the victims and refugees to the Jingzhou area and turned a blind eye to the suffering of the people."

Qin Qi said.

Buying an official position is Qin Qi's shortcoming, and she is often criticized.

Although it was not bought from the eunuchs but from the emperor, the officials in the court did not know.

Even if they knew, Yuan Feng, Yang Biao and others would turn a blind eye, which would also tarnish Qin Qi.

Due to this criticism, Qin Qi has some difficulties in attracting talents.

Although Qin Qi has made great efforts to resettle the people in the past two years, and logically should have become famous, there seems to be a force at the mercy of it.

Qin Qi's reputation is not known to the world's literati.

But what?

The people in the surrounding areas of Jingzhou know that Qin Qi will properly resettle the people, no matter where they come from, they will be resettled one by one.

In other words, Qin Qi's good reputation is still unpopular among the people, scholars, Confucian scholars, and intellectuals.

"Xingbang, is it worth it?"

Du Xidao.

"Isn't this worth it? I just want peace of mind. As long as the people come to Jingzhou, I will protect them.

Provide them with food, clothing, and a place to live. This is the most basic requirement of the people, and it is also the responsibility of the officials."

Qin Qi said.

well!

Du Xi let out a long sigh.

"If all the officials in the world were dedicated to the people and the public just like Xingguo, would the people still be in chaos?"

Du Xidao.

"Zixu, this matter is not that simple. Civilization must be promoted and society must progress. This is the trend of historical development.

No one can stop it. On the surface, it seems that local officials are not doing anything. In fact, many local officials are the disciples and former officials of important officials in the court.

They have no choice but to obey the orders of the big family. It is very difficult to change this situation.

Doesn’t the emperor know clearly? No! The emperor understands very well in his heart, but he is also helpless and unable to restrain the important ministers in the court.

Especially the Yuan family of the Fourth Generation and the Three Dukes has disciples and old officials all over the world. Today the emperor pulled Yuan Feng down.

Tomorrow there will be a snowflake of memorials to protect Yuan Feng. This force is so powerful that the emperor has no choice but to turn a blind eye."

Qin Qi said.

Du Xi and Chen Qun were extremely surprised!

The two knew that the Yuan family was powerful, but they never thought it would be so powerful and capable of resisting the emperor.

"When I first took over Xiakou City, I raided many big families and sent the evidence I found to Luoyang.

Yuan Feng was pulled down by the emperor on the spot. But what happened? What happened next forced the emperor to reinstate Yuan Feng's official position.
