Only a glimmer of light flashed in Zeng Qisheng's eyes. The boss he was about to be loyal to was really different from ordinary people. He dared to openly make the proposition that the people would not kneel when they see officials, and also promulgated as the official law of the Dongbo Prefecture. This may seem a bit reckless to others, but what Zeng Qisheng saw was Guo Zhiyuan's innocent heart. Guo Zhiyuan was able to write the abolition of kneeling ceremony into the Dongbo Prefecture's law of the Dongbo Prefecture, which shows that he was not showing off to show his favor with the people, but to truly care about the people!

The people were a little confused. They didn’t have to kneel down when they saw the official? Isn’t this a mess of the rules? But what made them even more incredible is that Guo Zhiyuan’s previous words ensured that they had food, clothes, and houses, so that their children could go to school to study? Is there such a good thing in the world?

As the head of the immigration this time, Zhang Cheng hurriedly ran out to the people who were still a little disbelief and shouted loudly: "Friends, get up quickly! Get up quickly! My adults speak in a golden word, absolutely count, you just wait and live a good life!"

These immigrants knew Zhang Cheng and trusted him. Under Zhang Cheng's command, they all stood up and continued to line up. The eyes of Guo Zhiyuan were more respectful.

Zhang Cheng comforted the immigrants, and then walked to Guo Zhiyuan and knelt on one knee and said excitedly: "Zhang Chengyou has been trusted by the Lord. This time, he only recruited 12,300 immigrants. Fortunately, the road was smooth. Only more than ten people died of incurable diseases due to the local environment. Please punish me!"

Guo Zhiyuan laughed and helped Zhang Cheng up, patted his shoulder hard and said, "It is a great achievement for you to bring so many immigrants to Dongfan. How can you punish me if you only deserve reward?! If you say punishment is that I just ordered the abolition of the kneeling ceremony, you will take the lead in violating it. I will punish you for drinking three drinks later, haha!"

Dongfan has built resettlement houses for the immigrants, and equipped them with essential furniture such as beds, tables, chairs, benches, etc., and even daily necessities such as bedding, sheets, buckets, etc. The immigrants were happy to look at their new home. The last doubts were relieved. Some people even cried excitedly. Compared to the broken houses where they lived in their hometown, the roof leaked from the windy roofs everywhere, this place was simply a paradise!

The work of resettlement of immigrants was very cumbersome. Fortunately, Zeng Qisheng had already registered all immigrants and asked them to select teams to join the village chief. There were special clerks in the Beigang County Government, so the resettlement work was also very smooth. More than 10,000 immigrants were quickly resettled.

Ordinary immigrants have their own clerks and yamen runners to settle them, but special talents like Zeng Qisheng need Guo Zhiyuan to come forward in person. According to Guo Zhiyuan’s previous instructions, Zhang Cheng paid special attention to the recruitment of special talents in this immigration recruitment. From the more than 10,000 immigrants this time, he selected more than 100 special talents from all walks of life to recommend to Guo Zhiyuan.

Guo Zhiyuan also attaches great importance to this group of special talents and personally hosts a banquet to entertain them. The first person Zhang Cheng recommended was of course Zeng Qisheng, who took him to Guo Zhiyuan and introduced: "Sir, this immigration work is so smooth thanks to Mr. Zeng. Mr. Zeng is the only one among these group of immigrants who has won the imperial examination. He has also served as the Changsha County Yamen Household Household, and has extraordinary talent."

In fact, Guo Zhiyuan had already noticed Zeng Qisheng. There were not many scholars recruited this time. Zeng Qisheng's elegant temperament was undoubtedly outstanding in the crowd. It was impossible not to attract attention. At this time, Zhang Cheng solemnly recommended Zeng Qisheng to him, so he naturally paid more attention. He bowed to Zeng Qisheng in a kind manner and asked, "Where is Mr. Zeng from Hunan?"

"Nation from Xiangyin, Hunan!" Zeng Qisheng bowed his hand and said with a respectful look.

"Oh! Only Chu is talented. It is a blessing for Guo to get help from Mr. Zeng. But since Mr. Zeng has already become an official, why should he abandon his official position and not be a job?" Guo Zhiyuan was thinking before that whether Zeng Qisheng was Zeng Guofan's ancestor, it would be fun. He had accused Zeng Guofan of his ancestors to Dongfan. Will there be Zeng Guofan in the future? At this time, he heard that Zeng Qisheng said that it was from Xiangyin, Hunan that he knew that he was thinking too much. Thinking about it, there were so many coincidences. So many talents were not enough to snatch him, and he was still thinking about Zeng Guofan's ancestors. This kind of evil taste of time travelers is really unbearable.

Guo Zhiyuan was also asking Zeng Qisheng's pain point, and he said sadly: "Zeng was not very sociable by nature and was not tolerated by his superiors and colleagues. He was dismissed from office and has now become a waste of his life."

In fact, Guo Zhiyuan had vaguely guessed the reason why Zeng Qisheng lost his official position, and laughed and said, "How can a swan be with a sparrow? Dongfan Mansion was founded and the officials were not determined, so he aggrieved Mr. Zeng to follow me to advise on affairs first and help Mr. Xu share the immigration and resettlement matters, okay?"

When Zeng Qisheng first came to Dongfan, Guo Zhiyuan naturally had to observe it carefully before he could entrust the important task. His keeping Zeng Qisheng by his side just reflected his importance to Zeng Qisheng. His words, "How can a swan be with a sparrow!" were just talking about Zeng Qisheng's heart, which made Zeng Qisheng feel warm and bowed: "Thank you, Lord Zeng, should do his best to live up to the appreciation of you!"

Among these more than 100 special talents, there are not many scholars like Zeng Qisheng, and there are all kinds of scholars, such as blacksmiths, stoners, carpenters, and cooks. The most interesting thing is that there are several opera singers in the opera troupes. These people are considered low-key businessmen in this era and have no social status. So they are very cramped in front of Guo Zhiyuan, but Guo Zhiyuan treats them equally and acts very approachable. He talks cordially and tells a few slightly rude jokes from time to time, which makes everyone laugh and gradually becomes less cramped.

Finally, Guo Zhiyuan called Zhang Cheng over and told him to properly place these special talents, let them make full use of their talents, and to fulfill the conditions agreed upon during recruitment, and promised everyone that no matter what difficulties they encounter in Dongfan, they could come to him directly and he would do his best to solve them!

Zeng Qisheng kept following Guo Zhiyuan to observe him secretly. He could see that Guo Zhiyuan was not a show, but really attached great importance to these people. He also sighed in his heart. Guo Zhiyuan is really employed with talents in a straightforward manner, and he also has a little more anticipation in his heart. Guo Zhiyuan can treat these low-key businessmen so kind. Following Guo Zhiyuan, he will definitely get the opportunity to display his talents and realize his ambitions!
