Wang Hou's body has completely collapsed.

When Qin Feng saw Wang Hou again, he couldn't believe his eyes. The old man who was always energetic, who was lying on the bed, was now lying on the bed, so thin that he was skinny and boneless, like a skeleton lying on the bed. If his chest was not slightly rising and falling, he would be like a dead person.

This made Qin Feng unable to help but blush his eyes. It was this little old man who joined the family when he had nothing, and since then he tied himself with the Taiping Army, and lived through life and death, accompanied Qin Feng through the ups and downs, creating the current huge family business. Now his life is finally going to be stable and the Ming Dynasty has already gained a foothold, but this little old man can no longer hold on.

Wang Hou's body collapsed so quickly, Qin Feng knew that he had an unshirkable responsibility. After the early Ming Dynasty, the biggest problem was the problem of world governance. In the former Taiping Army, there were many brave generals and soldiers, but those who could govern the world could be counted with their fingers. However, they could conquer the world immediately, but they could not dominate the world immediately. The local government and the people could live and work in peace and contentment were still subject to scholars.

But at that time, the officialdom was already in a state of great difficulty, and there were very few people who could use it. When he opened his mouth, he threw all the matters of the reform of the administration to Wang Hou.

From then on, Wang Hou began his journey to clear the source for several years. This is a more difficult thing than meeting soldiers on the battlefield. The enemies on the battlefield are clearly visible, but the domestic administrative reform is fighting against the enemies in the dark. We must fight without breaking, and fight without chaos.

The task that Qin Feng threw to Wang Hou was to complete the task of rectifying the administration and not to make the country chaotic. At that time, many county governors of the Ming Dynasty did not use any weapons. After the Taiping Army entered Yuejing, they immediately expressed their support for Qin Feng's rule. These places were particularly difficult to manage.

If the knife is steep, it will make people feel that the Ming Dynasty will destroy bridges and treat the heroes who are correct. However, in one-sidedness, it will make the reform of the administration a formality and ultimately in vain.

The difficulties in this are not enough to be told by outsiders.

But it was the thin and small old man in front of him who quietly promoted the reform of the administration to the whole country in five years, and completed the task assigned to him by Qin Feng very well.

And the price is that he was finally exhausted and exhausted.

"How long will it take?" Qin Feng asked Shu Chang softly.

Shu Chang looked sad, "I don't know, it's possible at any time."

Qin Feng's heart sank, who is Shu Chang? He is a miracle doctor who can almost cure people with flesh and bones. When he said this from his mouth, he could basically be a conclusion. No one in this world can save him from someone who can't even take him back.

He reached out and held Wang Hou's thin palm, and tears burst into tears in his eyes. Wang Yueyao on the side even sobbed.

As if he felt something, Wang Hou's closed eyes slowly opened, and the sharp eyes of the past have now become turbid. His eyes turned and saw Qin Feng, he struggled a few times, as if he wanted to get up, but finally in vain.

He grinned softly: "Your Majesty, you can't salute you anymore. I'm sorry."

"Old Wang, why do you say this?" Qin Feng shook his head and said.

"What's the situation outside now?" Wang Hou gasped, his voice almost unheard. "Can the big thing be settled?"

Qin Feng nodded vigorously: "Old Wang, don't worry, the war between Qi and Chu has come to an end. Although the Chu people have suffered a crushing defeat, they still retain a certain strength. Cheng Wuben built a second line of defense in Jinghu. They can survive for a few years. Although Qi won this battle, it is not easy. Whether it is Jiang Tao, An Ruhai, or Wu Teng, it has caused great losses to Qi. Now, although Wu Teng has withdrawn his troops back to Lingchuan, he can attack again at any time. An Ruhai

Although it was not possible, the turmoil he brought to Qi cannot be calmed in a short time. So next, Chu will no longer threaten us, but will rely on our Ming Dynasty to breathe. As for Qi, what they will do next is probably to restore domestic people's livelihood. The major reform of the domestic political situation that Cao Tiancheng wanted will be put on the agenda, and he will not be able to do anything to us within a few years. As for Qin, Mr. Wang also knows. So next, my Ming Dynasty will win at least five years of breathing opportunities."

Wang Hou grinned silently.

"Your Majesty is in power. Five years is enough to make the Ming Dynasty take off again. As long as the Qin State is pacified and annexed, the Ming Dynasty can become a great country that runs alongside the Qi State. By then, it is expected to unify the world. Hahaha...haha...haha."

The laughter had not stopped, and he had already coughed violently, his face was purple. Shu Chang quickly sat slanted on the head of the bed, hugged Wang Hou, leaned against his chest, reached out to gently stroke his chest. Wang Yueyao, on the other side, brought the medicine soup and fed it into Wang Hou's mouth spoonful by spoonful.

Qin Feng felt extremely sad when he saw almost half of the medicine soup flowing down the corner of Wang Hou's mouth.

After drinking a few spoons of medicine, the sound of gasping gradually calmed down, but Wang Hou's eyes slowly lit up.

"The old ministers think that the officials have done a good job in the reform of the administration that Your Majesty has given to me. Now the Ming Dynasty dare not say that everyone who is an official is honest and self-disciplined, but at least under the constraints of the system and under the supervision of the court, most of them want to do some cause for the country and the people."

"Old Wang's achievements are an unparalleled achievement of building a country." Qin Feng said affirmatively. "I want to thank you, and Daming wants to thank you even more."

"If you have any regrets, it is the Salt Administration." Wang Hou sighed: "It's not that the old minister doesn't want to touch them, but in the Ming Dynasty, there are only a few places that produce salt. The government and the powerful green forests colluded with each other. If they want to move, it would be a shocking move. But at that time, I couldn't turn over the lid of this pot anymore. The old minister could only think that he was blind and could not see them. The salt price is high, the quality is secondary, and private salt is rampant. Su Kairong once told me that the loss of salt classes every year is probably no less than one million. Whenever I think of these, the old minister's heart is like a cat scratching."

Qin Feng gently pinched Wang Hou's dry hand, "Old Wang, you have to leave something for others to do and share the credit for others. You have to finish everything. If the later generations have no credit to make, wouldn't they have no way to get promoted?"

Wang Hou laughed.

"I want to do more, but unfortunately I can't do it! Your Majesty, although I didn't do it, I kept thinking about this issue. The more I think about it, the more complicated it is. It really affects the whole body. If you are not careful, it will turbulent the government. Think about it, the people eat salt every day. This thing looks inconspicuous, but it is really a big thing and needs to be decided before it can be moved."

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang!" Qin Feng said lightly: "I have had some ideas about this matter. I have always done this matter in the past few years. Now there is one thing, I want to hear your opinion."

"Your Majesty, please tell me. The old minister knows everything and speaks everything."

"The Ministry of Personnel is vacant. Who do you think is more suitable for your position in the world?" Qin Feng asked.

Wang Hou stared at Qin Feng for a while and nodded: "The old minister understands. The two most outstanding officials in the world that day were undoubtedly Jin Jingnan, Taiping County and Fang Dazhi, Shayang County. Are you preparing for the throne?"

"I can't hide anything from Mr. Wang. Yes, I have this idea." Qin Feng said: "Now the court has their own opinions on this. Quan Yun is almost sixty, and even if he can work for another ten years, I have to plan for the future."

"The two of them have their own advantages and disadvantages, but the old minister still has a little bit of a headache." Wang Hou thought for a while and said.

"Please speak frankly, Mr. Wang."

"Jin Jingnan is enterprising, but his methods are a bit cruel. The square and big control are round on the outside and square on the inside, and the methods are more smooth. In the eyes of the old minister, Jin Jingnan was used in the first ten years to clear the thorns for Your Majesty, and in the next ten years to heal the trauma." Wang Houdao: "Your Majesty might as well transfer both of them to the center of the court. On the one hand, he cultivates the overall view of the two, and on the other hand, he also lets them urge each other and dare not relax."

Qin Feng pondered for a moment and said, "If this is the case, I'm afraid that Jin Jingnan's fate will be a little jealous in the future."

"With Your Majesty, the kind-hearted monarch, Jin Jingnan will not be lost," Wang Hou said softly: "Everything is in the heart of the king."

"Who will take over the Ministry of Personnel?"

"If you want to clear the difficulties in salt affairs, your old minister is willing to be Jin Jingnan. If Fang Dazhi comes to do it, you will probably leave a lot of work. There will be more trouble in the future. If Jin Jingnan comes to do it, you can wipe out the internal disadvantages."

"I understand what Mr. Wang means." Qin Feng nodded. "I just want to transfer both of them to the center, but I also want to have a similar position. It's a bit difficult now. I'm going to move Su Kairong."

"Your Majesty, Su Kairong can't move now." Wang Hou shook his head, "The old minister also knows that Su Kairong and Su Can and his son are in charge of the financial power of the Ming Dynasty are really unruly, but Su Kairong has a small braid to catch, so he is not afraid of him. Su Can has little political ambitions, and he is very focused on his votes. So there is no need to hurry."

"So? How can Jin Jingnan, Fang Dazhi arrange it?" Qin Feng asked.

"It's time for a member of the Political Affairs Hall." Wang Houdao: "Fang Dazhi is the second auxiliary and is in charge of the Ministry of Personnel. Jin Jingnan was also promoted to the second auxiliary and also served as the Chief Censor. The Chief Censor manages the Supervisory Office, and it is legitimate to come to clean up the salt stall."

This is to decentralize power from the chief minister Quanyun.
