Chapter 70
Since the county magistrate of Qingshan County has not yet arrived, Fang Jing directly reported his intention to purchase Huanshan Port to the Mingzhou government a few days ago.

On this day, Wu Qisheng came over on behalf of the government office to discuss with Fang Jing about the port.

What Fang Jing meant was that Fang's firm bought it directly, because the large fields around Huanshan Port were still under the name of the Qingshan County Government.

But Fu Ya's intention was not to completely sell it to Fang Jing, but to agree on a reasonable ratio between the two parties.

"Xiao Jing, this is a good port no matter what, it's unrealistic for you to buy all of them directly." Wu Qisheng said.

"Uncle, do you want to go and have a look? Is there any good port now? Weeds are overgrown, and it is as tall as a person." Fang Jing said.

Wu Qisheng shook his head and said: "You can't say that. When Huanshan Port was once glorious, the port's income occupied a very important position in Qingshan County and even Mingzhou Prefecture. The magistrate is also for your own good. I believe you can manage the port well. , but the port will become prosperous in the future, and when people know that it is completely bought by you, there will always be people who will be jealous, and it will not do you any good to slander behind your back."

"Okay, uncle, just tell me, what kind of ratio is it?" Fang Jing asked.

"You pay 5 taels of silver, [-]% of the silver, and Qingshan County six." Wu Qisheng said.

"Uncle, tell me the bottom line." Fang Jing said speechlessly.

How could I agree to such a condition.

Wu Qisheng was stunned for a moment and said: "Well, actually, what the prefect means is that everyone can get [-]-[-] points, but the control of the port still has to be in the county government."

"Uncle, the magistrate's yamen thought too well." Fang Jing sneered and said, "I have worked so hard to come here, and the control will still be in the hands of the county yamen? In case the port improves one day, the county Ya might kick me away."

"This~~" Wu Qisheng said with a hint of embarrassment on his face, "Xiao Jing, I know this is not fair to you, but it is also for the sake of your future safety. Even if you are in Wulinwei, if you are in the same place The turmoil is too tense, and it will have a big impact on you. I think in your capacity as a martial arts guard, the so-called control of the county government is actually the same thing, does he really dare to provoke you?"

Fang Jing knew that Wu Qisheng did think for himself.

It's a pity that he doesn't know his true strength, so he feels that way.

"Uncle, I don't take advantage of the government office. For 10 taels, I will take eight of the port share, and the second in the county office. The control must belong to me." Fang Jing said, "Take a word to Wei Zhengdong, just say that I am now It's not the martial arts guarding hundreds of households."

"Ah? What? You are not a martial arts guard?" Wu Qisheng's expression changed.

"Uncle, listen to me." Fang Jing said with a smile, "Now he is the deputy thousand households of Mingzhou Prefecture, directly in charge of the hundred households in Qingshan and Baishui counties."

"How is it possible?" Wu Qisheng's eyes widened.

He also just found out about Gu Hunqiu's transfer from Baishui County, and originally wanted to tell Fang Jing about this happy event.

Unexpectedly, the Baishui County Wulin Guard Hundred Households Office was under Fang Jing's direct control, which was a surprise.

"I can't make fun of things like this, can I?" Fang Jing said, "With my current status, it's really easy to get the Huanshan Port. If I directly requisition it in the name of Wulinwei, who can say anything? "

"Xiao Jing, you are like this~~"

"Uncle, you don't need to tell Wei Zhengdong about this. I believe he will understand when he knows that I am a deputy thousand householder." Fang Jing smiled and said, "I don't want to take advantage of anyone, but others can't take advantage of me. Now What is there in the port? There is nothing. If it is handed over to me, it may make the port better, not to mention that there are 10 taels now, and there will be income in the future, wouldn’t it be great?”

"I understand." Wu Qisheng nodded and said, "I will take the words back. Let's not talk about this matter, what is going on with your deputy Qianhu? Could it be that Han Sen helping you again?"

Wu Qisheng felt that this incident was too sudden.

It stands to reason that Fang Jing suddenly became a hundred households, how could he suddenly become a deputy thousand households, it doesn't make sense.

"It shouldn't be him." Fang Jing shook his head and said, "I am also a little confused about this matter, but the appointment will not be false. Uncle, you can rest assured in the future, my martial arts guard will not be like Gu Qingqiu .”

"Of course, of course." Wu Qisheng smiled, "I really didn't expect that."

He was very emotional, with the help of Fang Jing, the Deputy Qianhu, he could flex his muscles in Baishui County. He is ambitious, how could he be satisfied with a small county magistrate?

Fang Jing believes that the prefect's Yamen will definitely agree to the conditions he proposed.

In fact, I have really given in, otherwise I won the Huanshan Port directly, and there is no need to talk to the local government at all.

Wu Linwei is so domineering, especially since he is still a deputy thousand householder who holds real power, he really doesn't pay attention to the local magistrate.

"Xiao Jing, to be honest, my uncle still has some doubts about your port management." Wu Qisheng said again, "This matter is not as simple as you imagined. I know you have the help of a master of the rivers and lakes, but matters at sea are very important. You have to face pirates. Even if you kill hundreds of them this time, they can still come to thousands. How do you resist? How will you manage the port? There is something you may not know, right? A few days ago, Quanzhou The government was attacked by more than 7000 pirates, it's scary to think about it, there are more than 7000 pirates."

"Oh? Uncle, how did you know?" Fang Jing asked in surprise.

He learned about this from Dou Shi, Shao Bo, Qi Dashan and others, otherwise he, a hundred households, would not have received the news from Wu Linwei. With Wu Qisheng's identity, even Wei Zhengdong, the magistrate, would probably not have known about it. These.

"It's the imperial envoy." Wu Qisheng said with a smile.

"He hasn't returned to Beijing yet?" Fang Jing asked in surprise.

"The imperial envoy has done a great job this time, and the plan is to finish the case completely before returning to Beijing." Wu Qisheng replied, "You know, this time, the commander of the martial arts guards, oh, that is, the prince of Chu secretly went south to the Quanzhou mansion to mobilize A total of 5 people from Wulin guards and officers and soldiers came, and they came to wait and see."

"Is there a result?" Fang Jing asked.

If this is the case, it seems that Wu Linwei should have obtained accurate information, otherwise, as a commander, he would not have personally taken risks.

Fang Jing could vaguely guess why the martial arts guards on the Mingzhou side did not get the news of the encirclement and suppression of the pirates. It should be because the Yuanshi Sect was involved in the Mingzhou government. The court was still afraid that there would be remnants of the Yuanshi Sect here.

In order not to leak the news, the martial arts guards on the Mingzhou side are not used directly. In fact, the martial arts guards on the Mingzhou side have been cleaned up, and there is no one to send there.

"The pirates fled in embarrassment." Wu Qisheng laughed loudly, "The pirates suffered thousands of casualties, thousands of people were arrested, and more than 50 ships were destroyed. Great victory, how many years have you faced the pirates? What good news is there, as expected of Prince Chu."

Fang Jing was silent for a while.

He was not as excited as Wu Qisheng.

He knew that there were more than 5 pirates this time, and the [-] people on the side of the officers and soldiers were just waiting for a rabbit to gain something like this?

In other words, nearly 5000 pirates escaped back.

Now that the pirates were ambushed, it can be seen that they did not notice the movement of the officers and soldiers before, or even if they knew that there was a large army of officers and soldiers gathered, these pirates were also arrogant and did not take the officers and soldiers seriously.

Facts have proved that these officers and soldiers are indeed incompetent. Fang Jing can guess that the casualties of officers and soldiers are absolutely huge. It is a shame that 5 people took down such a few pirates.
