Chapter 46
After leaving Zhen Yi's house, Zhang Ming sent someone to inquire about Tian Feng's house.

Tian Feng is a well-known celebrity, and soon found his home, and Zhang Ming decided to visit him the next day.

Tian Feng is also from a family with a lot of money.

At this time, he did not become an official, but studied at home.

Zhang Ming made preparations and planned to visit him the next time.

The next day, Zhang Ming brought a lot of things, far more than what he would bring to visit Zhen Yi.

When visiting Zhen Yi, Zhang Ming just wanted to get to know him and his daughter.

It is impossible for Zhen Yi to go to Liaodong, so Zhang Ming wants him to send someone there, maybe he can do business with him then.

Tian Feng was reading at home, and put down the bamboo slips when he heard that someone was visiting.

"The old man lives in seclusion, and few people come to visit."

Tian Feng came out and saw that Zhang Ming and his party had been welcomed into the yard.

Zhang Ming is too young, but his temperament and momentum are good.

"At the Lower Dongling Lihuo, meet Mr. Tian."

Tian Feng nodded, and then asked Zhang Ming to sit down in the gazebo.

The weather is a bit cold, but Zhang Ming is a martial arts practitioner, so he doesn't feel anything.

"Brother Lihuo, why did you come to visit mere old man?"

Seeing Tian Feng's strange expression, Zhang Ming asked his followers to put the things on the ground, and then waved them away.

Tian Feng saw that Zhang Ming wanted to talk to him alone, and asked the people next to him to leave.

"I'm being rude, this time I want to ask Mr. to come out of the mountain."

"you?"

Don't blame Tian Feng for questioning, Zhang Ming is only in his teens, what qualifications does he have to ask him out?
"That's right, my identity is Liaodong Governor Zhang Ming."

Tian Feng was shocked that Zhang Ming would appear here, and invited him out of the mountain.

"Hahaha, it's ridiculous. What you did offended my family. It can be said that you are already a public enemy of the family. How dare you come to invite me." Tian Feng laughed loudly.

Zhang Ming's expression remained unchanged, his eyes fixed on Tian Feng.

After Tian Feng returned to normal, he said: "Why don't you dare, not only dare, but also ask Mr. Mo."

Zhang Ming's tone was simple, which made Tian Feng take it seriously.

Tian Feng continued: "Don't you know what you did? How many families did you kill in Liaodong?"

"How many people have I resettled in Liaodong? If they are wise and sell the land to me, none of them will die."

Tian Feng did not speak, but thought for a long time.

"Actually, the old man has been informed of what happened in Liaodong long ago, and has studied it carefully."

"Although your approach is very radical, it is very effective, but there is a fatal weakness, that is, you don't have people from aristocratic families in Liaodong, and no one who can read and write will serve as an official for you and manage government affairs. They maintained the proper bureaucratic system, and the whole of Liaodong was a mess, unable to organize anything."

After Tian Feng finished speaking, he was very interested in hearing Zhang Ming's opinion.

"To put it bluntly, the great man is already dead, and water can carry a boat and overturn it. How the great man treats the people will be how the people will treat these bureaucrats and the royal family in the end."

Zhang Ming didn't care about Tian Feng's expression, he continued: "The old bureaucrats can't be used, otherwise they will continue to lose people. Those aristocratic families occupy too much land, but the people have no place to stand. If they don't divide their land, they will not be stable. of."

"As for your saying that no one can be an official, the entire Liaodong will be very loose and cannot be turned into strength. Then you are wrong. I invented a method of quick recognition. Adults can learn one or two thousand characters a month. Study while taking office, at least be able to understand simple official documents and execute orders."

"Ridiculous." Tian Feng didn't believe it. They only became talented after more than ten years of study. Zhang Ming wanted to make a person become an official after studying one or two, so why would he need them.

"Of course, the quick learning method is effective, but the people who are trained can't be too big officials, so I'm still very short of Mr. Tian's great talent."

After Zhang Ming finished speaking, he picked up many things on the ground.

Maotai is a must, there are several kinds of tea, glasses, tea sets, and even a pair of mahjong, followed by a pack of cigarettes and a metal lighter.

"I have a lot of treasures in Liaodong. I came from Youzhou, first went to Qingzhou, and then came to Jizhou. I saw the people living in poverty and saw the Taiping Road prevailing all over the world."

Speaking of Taiping Dao, Tian Feng did not pay attention to the treasures on the table, but said in a flat tone: "This Taiping Dao is still very important in the hearts of the people."

"It is the royal family that is in chaos, and the imperial court is also the way of peace. If it takes a year, the way of peace will definitely sweep the world."

Zhang Ming opened the cigarette, handed it to Tian Feng, and lit another one himself.

"I have good tea, good wine, and good cigarettes here. Please come out and help me, sir."

Zhang Ming smoked a cigarette, then opened the tea, stretched it out in front of Tian Feng and said, "Smell it."

The fragrance of the tea was refreshing, Tian Feng sniffed two more greedily.

Then, Zhang Ming opened the Moutai again, and then directly poured two glasses of wine.

"Mr. Tian, ​​this is something only the emperor can drink. Would you like to have a sip?" Zhang Ming picked up the wine glass and looked at Tian Feng.

Tian Feng usually drinks too, but he has never drank such a fragrant wine.

Zhang Ming picked up the wine glass and drank it himself, and Tian Feng also started to drink.

I can't stop drinking it.

After the two drank, the topic of conversation deepened, and Zhang Ming became bolder, and he expressed some of his visions for the future.

And Tian Feng also fully understood Zhang Ming's strategy.

"My lord, it's done."

Tian Feng didn't know when he called the Lord, anyway, both of them drank a little too much.

He drank more and more, and finally both of them were drunk.

Some servants carried Tian Feng and Zhang Ming to sleep.

After waking up, Zhang Ming asked Tian Feng to drink again, but this time it was not drinking, but tea.

"Mr. Tian, ​​I want to return to Liaodong as soon as possible to prepare. According to the situation in several states I traveled, the Taipingdao outbreak is imminent. You should go to Liaodong as soon as possible. I'm afraid it will be unsafe if it is too late."

"Don't worry, my lord. I will take care of the family affairs for ten days, and then I will go back to Liaodong."

The two drank tea and talked a lot about the current political situation. Tian Feng didn't expect that Zhang Ming was young, but he had unique insights, and many problems could be solved.

After talking with Tian Feng for a day, Zhang Ming went to visit Jushou again. Unexpectedly, he didn't see him after posting twice, so Zhang Ming didn't bother to visit again.

After leaving Yecheng, Zhang Ming planned to go back first.

"I didn't expect to be able to subdue Tian Feng this time, so the government affairs in Liaodong are much more at ease."

On the way back, Zhang Ming and the others passed by Julu County.

"What a giant city, but it will soon be baptized by the flames of war." Arriving at Julu City, Zhang Ming did not enter the city, but looked outside the city.

This will become Zhang Jiao's lair in the future.

Zhang Ming said a few words of emotion, and then continued to set off.

"Instructor, let's find a place to camp in a nearby village and move on. We may have to find a place to camp in the barren mountains." A soldier said to Zhang Ming.

"Okay, let's find a place to camp nearby."
