What's worse is that Zeng Qisheng also likes to contradict his superiors. Such people naturally cannot get along in the officialdom, so he soon suffered a big trouble! Zeng Qisheng's immediate superior, Changsha County magistrate, was a narrow-minded person. He had long disliked him very much when he was repeatedly contradicted by Zeng Qisheng. If it weren't for Zeng Qisheng's ability to do business, his subordinates would have needed someone who could do business. He would have been relieved of Zeng Qisheng's official position. However, Zeng Qisheng didn't know that after discovering that the magistrate had embezzled money and grain from the magistrate, he actually reported Changsha County to the magistrate to the magistrate!

Reporting a boss at the moment is a taboo in the officialdom. At this time, the Ming Dynasty officialdom was already corrupt, and the upper and lower effects were effective, and they were in a mess. Zeng Qisheng's report letter was transferred around and he arrived at the magistrate. The magistrate was angry at the sight. Isn't this seeking death? He found a mistake and beat Zeng Qisheng twenty sticks in the church, almost losing half of his life. If he hadn't been worried that Zeng Qisheng was fame and fortune, and Zeng Qisheng had just reported him, if he really killed Zeng Qisheng, he would inevitably be suspected of taking personal revenge, so he spared Zeng Qisheng's life.

However, Zeng Qisheng's official position must not be preserved. Zeng Qisheng himself also saw the darkness of the officialdom through this incident. He was a little discouraged and became a private school teacher again. However, in his heart, Zeng Qisheng was still a little unwilling to accept it. He was still young and strong at this time, and his ambitions were not fulfilled. How could he be willing?

If you hadn't met Zhang Cheng, Zeng Qisheng might have been like this in his life. In the long river of history, there are too many people like Zeng Qisheng who have ambitions and are depressed but are unsuccessful, and they can only regret that there are too many people who have grown old. There are often horses, but not often Bole. Life is impermanent. If you miss the opportunity, you can only be lost in everyone.

Although Zhang Cheng didn't know why Guo Zhiyuan attached so much to the province of Hunan, since Guo Zhiyuan attached great importance to him, he had to pay special attention to it. So he handed over all the immigration recruitment from other provinces to his subordinates and went to Hunan himself. However, when he arrived in Hunan, he realized that this job was not ordinary difficult. First of all, he couldn't understand the language. He couldn't even understand the dialect spoken by Hunan people. Isn't this a blind eye?

Zeng Qisheng met Zhang Cheng at this time. He heard several students say that a foreign trafficker came to Xiangjiang Wharf and wanted to recruit people to open up land on a deserted island called Dongfan. Zeng Qisheng felt aroused when he heard this. He knew that Zhang Cheng was definitely not a human trafficker, and no trafficker dared to recruit people publicly. In this era of strict household registration management, no one dared to recruit people on such a large scale without the permission of the court.

Although Zeng Qisheng was already discouraged by his career, he was still very concerned about current affairs and often looked for official newspapers. He vaguely remembered that a newspaper I saw not long ago mentioned that the court was preparing to set up a new Dongfan Mansion on the isolated island of Dongfan. Zeng Qisheng read the entire book, so he naturally knew Dongfan. With his keen insight, he also vaguely felt that Dongfan's geographical location was very important. The court's establishment of a government office in Dongfan was definitely an unprecedented innovation!

Zeng Qisheng's heart, who was already discouraged, was a little excited. Since it was an unprecedented innovation, it meant a lot of opportunities to make achievements. New creation in Dongfan Mansion must require grassroots officials who understand the operation of the official office. Most mainland officials with fame and status are unwilling to be officials on deserted islands like Dongfan. Then people like him who have fame and no official position have a chance!

Even though he was moved, Zeng Qisheng did not immediately decide to go to Dongfan. No matter how good the opportunity was, he had to meet a good boss who valued talents. If he was like the previous magistrate of Changsha, he might as well continue to be his private school teacher, so he decided to go and see the situation first.

When Zeng Qisheng came to Xiangjiang Wharf, Zhang Cheng was sitting dejectedly in front of the recruiting factory shed, and Zeng Qisheng first observed Zhang Cheng. Zhang Cheng was wearing a flying fish suit and embroidered with a spring knife on his waist (Note: Guo Zhiyuan also included Zhang Cheng on the list of those who have made contributions to the rebellion, and helped him get the title of the Jinyiwei hundred households). He could not be a human trafficker. Then he stepped forward and bowed and said, "I heard that lord is going to recruit immigrants?"

Zhang Cheng has been here for three days. At first, someone was curious to come over to inquire, but now he simply didn't even ask questions. When he heard someone asking, he looked up in surprise, but was stunned. Zeng Qisheng was wearing a long gown and had a good temperament. He could not even recruit ordinary immigrants, let alone recruit scholars who knew the text and literacy. He thought that Zeng Qisheng was a clerk sent by the government, so he waved his hand in disappointment: "Hasn't you already showed you the official documents of the court? This time, the recruitment of immigrants was personally approved by the emperor. It would be fine if you don't cooperate with the magistrate in Changsha, but you dare to disturb them?!"

Zeng Qisheng shook his head and smiled, "I misunderstood. Although I used to be a Changsha County Yamen House History, I have been dismissed from office and now I am a white man and have nothing to do with the government. I want to learn more about the specific regulations for recruiting immigrants."

Zhang Cheng knew that the opportunity had come as soon as he heard it. He used to be a transfer house dictionary, but now he is in vain. Isn’t this the special talent Guo Zhiyuan told him to find before coming. He stood up excitedly and said, “Sir, your surname is? Please sit down!”

Zeng Qisheng looked at Zhang Cheng so excited that he was secretly amused, but he became more and more moved. He had seen the Jinyiwei sent by the imperial court to handle the bad luck. No one was not a nostril and arrogant. Zhang Cheng was so eager to be talented, so the people behind him must also attach great importance to talents.

He didn't politely, sat down and asked with a smile: "Zeng, the surname of me, I also saw in the newspaper that the court was preparing to open a government office on Dongfan Island. However, this Dongfan Island was isolated overseas, except for the original Fanyi natives on the island, there were no one living there. If you want to immigrate, you are afraid that there are a lot of people?!"

Zhang Cheng slapped his thighs boldly and said, "That's it! My master said that he would immigrate to Dongfan by 300,000!"

"Three hundred thousand?!" Zeng Qisheng was shocked and asked in disbelief: "This is not easy. Not to mention the difficulties of so many immigrants, the money and food consumed are definitely not idle. I read the newspaper in the palace that the court has even owed military pay, so how can we take out such a huge amount of money and food for immigration?!"

Zhang Cheng laughed and said, "My Lord said that he would raise all the money and grains needed, and there is no need to pay the court one monies and grains. Not only that, my Lord also needs to build three giant cities in Dongfan. He also raises the money and grains needed with all his efforts. He also contributes 100,000 taels of taxes to the court every year. Otherwise, how would the court allow him to open a government office in Dongfan?"

Zeng Qisheng was completely stunned. After a while, he suddenly stood up and left. Zhang Cheng hurriedly grabbed him and said inexplicably: "Why is Mr. Zeng?!"
