Chapter 870: Refugees

In front of this businessman, Qin Feng had no airs. He looked at the guy who was about to become soft and mud, and said softly: "What's your name?"

"Your Majesty, the grass-roots name is Meng Hui."

"Well, Meng Hui. What kind of business do you do? You can't specialize in human trafficking, right?"

Hearing Qin Feng's question, the fat businessman Meng Hui's face was ashamed. The Ming Dynasty's laws and regulations prohibited human trafficking and should be executed if he violated the law. "No, no, your Majesty, Caomin originally started a fruit business. This year he sold fruits from Changyang County. By chance, I heard that Changyang County wanted refugees and Caomin..."

Meng Hui rolled his eyes and looked at Ma Xiangnan, but he was stuttering but couldn't continue to say anything.

Qin Feng smiled and said, "When you meet Ma Jun Ma, he told you that as long as you get refugees from Qin, he will buy them all, right?"

Meng Hui's head was hanging down, but he stopped talking.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, the Ming Dynasty's laws and regulations are not allowed to traffic in humans. That is for my Ming people. The refugees in Qin are not under the protection of my Ming Dynasty's laws and regulations." Seeing the other party's death, Qin Feng waved his hand and relieved him.

When he heard this, Meng Hui's face, which was originally dead, immediately blushed, "Your Majesty's Holy Wisdom!"

He almost shouted out.

Ma Xiangnan couldn't stand this guy's appearance and said impatiently: "Okay, Boss Meng, the Qin people are living a miserable life now. If you bring them over, you can continue to live. From Qin to my Ming Dynasty, these people fell into honeypots. What else can they be dissatisfied with? How many did you get this time?"

Meng Hui nodded repeatedly: "Mr. Ma, according to your instructions, this time the Caomin brought you craftsmen with skills. This is the first batch, with family members, a total of more than 200 people. Caomin's friend, where are he looking for such people, and he can get more in the future."

"Craftsmen?" Qin Feng felt the spirit when he heard this. No matter which country he was in, craftsmen were strictly controlled, and it was unlikely that they would be allowed to move at will. Is Qin's chaos now? "Where did you get these people?"

"Your Majesty, the main thing is Qingzhou County." Meng Hui said: "Now the people are living in poverty. In order to have a bit of food, I didn't want to do anything at that time. Wherever the grass people go, they came and let the grass people choose! Many people are willing to follow the grass people as long as they have a bit of food."

When Ma Xiangnan heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "So, you didn't spend any money on these people?"

Meng Hui was a businessman, so he was naturally extremely smart. When he heard what Ma Xiangnan said, he immediately changed his color: "Mr. The county magistrate did not spend money to get these people, but, after coming from Qingzhou County, their food, drink, defecation and sensation were provided by grass people, and these expenses were also quite expensive!"

"Mr. Ma will not lose you a penny!" Qin Feng interrupted the other party, "Tell me about the situation in Qingzhou County. I think people like you must have a clear understanding of the situation there."

"Your Majesty is wise. Although Qingzhou is in chaos, there are still garrisons guarding the pass. If you want to get these people out, you must open the joints. So I have made some friends there, all of them are small officers in the border army of Qin. I gave them silver and some supplies, so they asked me to get these people out. I found out what situation is." Meng Hui said respectfully.

Qin Feng smiled and said, "These money that can open the joints must be calculated as the cost!"

Meng Hui was a little embarrassed.

"Okay, I can understand, let's talk about the situation over there!"

"The Qin State seems to have a big problem inside. Caomin heard that Lu Ding, the current general of the border army, refused to accept the summons of Qin Emperor several times and refused to leave in Qingzhou County. Therefore, the Qin court has stopped supplying food and salary to the border army. For tens of thousands of border troops, Lu Ding wanted to stabilize them, so he had to desperately plunder the people of Qingzhou. Caomin also heard some secret things. Lu Ding even sent troops to pretend to be bandits and rob nearby prefectures and counties. Anyway, in the Qin country, it is not only Qingzhou County, but also several county governors near Qingzhou County, as well. It is in chaos and there are refugees everywhere."

Qin Feng, Huo Guang and Ma Xiangnan looked at each other. Is Qin's country already in chaos? Lu must be taking risks, and the reason why he dared to do this was probably not without any conscience. It seems that Dai Shulun's work is very effective. Lu must be strong and will be waiting for a change now, and this change may only be on Xiao Qiang. In other words, Qin is only one step away from the civil war.

"If you send these people here, you will be the one you sent. The Ma County Ma will take people here." Qin Feng looked at the other party and said, "The Ma County Ma was right before. In this way, the Qin State is now, and those refugees will starve to death sooner or later. If you bring them to the Ming Dynasty, it can be considered as saving their lives. Saving people's lives is better than building a seven-level pagoda. You can continue to do this. The more you have, the better."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Meng Hui was overjoyed. Once His Majesty opened his mouth, he would have a smooth sailing career in the future. This is considered a person trafficking under the order!

"Snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths. It seems that you have a lot of tricks in Qin. When you get these people over, you might as well inquire about their domestic situation, especially some of the situations within the Qin border army. Since you have such channels in the Qin border army, you can make more use of them, or even buy more officials of higher-level levels. The money you need is actually repaid, and the court will give you it for you." Qin Feng smiled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise, Long live Your Majesty!" Meng Hui was so happy that he almost fainted. Is there such a good thing? The court paid him to buy the Qin people and then open up channels for his business. This is a pie that fell from the sky!

"Go to the county magistrate Ma to check out. Let's take these people to Changyang County by ourselves." Qin Feng waved his hand, ignored Meng Hui, and started drinking and drinking vegetables on his own.

Ma Xiangnan stared at Meng Hui and shouted, "How much does it cost?"

"Mr. Ma Jun, this time the grass-roots people brought a total of 112 people. According to the price that he had agreed to you before, craftsmen cost ten taels of silver, five taels of silver for young and strong, and three taels of silver for women and children. This time, there were a total of 1,010 taels of silver. Erased the small amount, and gather an integer of one thousand taels!" Meng Hui said.

Ma Xiangnan snorted, reached into his arms, and when he took it out, he was very embarrassed. He only had a few zero votes on his body, and there was no ten taels of silver. Where did he get one thousand taels?

Seeing Ma Xiangnan's appearance, Meng Hui's face changed slightly, but immediately returned to normal: "It doesn't matter if the county magistrate has no money for the time being. Next time, we will check the bill together next time."

Ma Xiangnan was furious: "What do you mean that I have no money? Is it that Changyang County owes you a businessman's money?" His eyes turned a few times and finally fell on Eunuch Le. The emperor was naturally penniless. Huo Guang took a lot of money, but he spent it faster. It was impossible for him to hold so much money on him. Only Eunuch Le had it.

"Mr. Le, borrow one thousand taels of silver." He reached out to Mr. Le.

Eunuch Le looked at Qin Feng, and Qin Feng smiled and gave him a wink. Eunuch Le nodded understandingly, reached into his arms, took out a stack of banknotes, counted one thousand taels and handed them to Ma Xiangnan: "One thousand taels of silver in the silver, one minute of the monthly rate, Master Huo is the middleman."

Huo Guang laughed loudly while drinking.

"One minute of monthly interest, why don't you grab it?" Ma Xiangnan jumped up.

"Mr. Ma, the royal family has no spare money!" Eunuch Le said with a slight smile.

Ma Xiangnan angrily snatched the banknotes, but he didn't count them, and sent them to Meng Hui, "Goun Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing B

Meng Hui left happily. It was still quite a short distance from Changyang County. At the speed of these refugees, it would take several days to walk. Now he has saved a lot of money by handing over halfway. More importantly, he met the emperor and got the emperor's promise. When he went to Qingzhou to sell people, even if he got the Shangfang Sword, the Qin people could have money to get through. Those poor men could have a little money. And in Kaiping County, if there was an emperor, the Ming government would not make things difficult for him, and would open a door of convenience for him.

This is really a world where gold and gold ingots are lost. It’s impossible not to get rich! There is nothing else in Qin now, just a lot of refugees and getting people over. It’s not easy. A few buns of steamed buns can lead a group of people to follow him.

Meng Hui left with the dream of getting rich, but Qin Feng stood in front of the ragged refugees of Qin, a little silent. Most of them were men, with a small number of women and children, each of whom was pale and thin, and weak. Speaking of which, these people fell to this point and were inseparable from themselves.

The people are suffering, the people are suffering, the ancients said it was right. When he formulated a general strategy to manage the Qin State, he had never thought about the suffering of these people in his mind, but when these people stood in front of him, he still felt a little unbearable.

Getting them from Qin to Ming Dynasty was indeed a way to get them out of the sea of ​​suffering. At least from now on, they will no longer be short of food and clothing.

A large group of people were kneeling in front of him. Qin Feng saw that although a boy over ten years old was kneeling, his eyes were always secretly looking at the food on the felt blanket in front of him. He sighed and waved his hand to ask Eunuch Le to take a roast chicken from the big bowl. He stuffed it to the boy with his own hands. Seeing the boy swallowing it, he almost chewed his bones and swallowed it, he felt even more unbearable.
