Qin Fang was stunned: "Master, the magistrate of Hedong Prefecture?"

The officer said: "Today, the six prefects of Renzhou have arrived and are staying at the inn. Mr. Du has already discussed the Royal Food franchise plan with him. Since Yunxiang County is under the jurisdiction of Hedong Prefecture, so Lord Magistrate ‌ would like to talk to you about the Royal Food franchise plan here, so Lord Yang said, ‌ would like to invite you to come to ‌’s house. Do you think? Lord Yang said, if you are busy,  ‌It can be changed over there.”

As soon as Qin Fang arrived, he was all at the Beast Mountain Taoist Temple. No wonder Magistrate Yang sent someone here to wait for him. "It's okay to go."

"yes."

Qin Fang said to Tao Shan, "Tao Shan, go back and tell the countryman that you don't have to wait for me for dinner. I'll go to Magistrate Yang to discuss things."

Tao Shan: "Yes."

Qin Fang followed the government officials to the county government office. Magistrate Yang and the prefect of Hedong Prefecture were discussing the situation in the hall. He didn't know whether Qin Fang would come today, so he could only wait and listen. When people came to report that General Qin was coming, they got up.

The prefect of Qi State was a real official, and Magistrate Yang went to the hall to pick up Qin Fang. Naturally, the prefect of Hedong Prefecture would not go. After all, the magistrate of Qi was bigger than Qin, and there was no reason to go to pick up Qin Fang.

Magistrate Yang entered the hall and saw Qin Fang coming in. He quickly raised his hands and said, "General Qin."

Qin Fang raised his hands and said, "Master Yang, I'm late."

Magistrate Yang said: "It's not too late, your noble lord is busy." He knew that Qin Fang was on Beast Mountain every day, and it happened to be his duty time, so he came over as soon as he was on duty, which was already a great deal of face. . "General Qin, Mr. Liu, the magistrate of Hedong Prefecture, is inside. I will introduce you to him."

Qin Fang: "Thank you Master Yang. Speaking of which, I haven't visited Master Liu since I took office. Unfortunately, the emperor gave me a secret mission. I can't leave Yunxiang County. I can only say sorry to Master Liu." Logically speaking, Qin Fang should go to meet him, but after a series of emotional events, Qin Fang had long forgotten who the boss of Hedong Mansion was. Even the always attentive Yang Haiyan didn't notice, otherwise she would have warned her long ago.

Qin Fang followed Magistrate Yang into the hall. Lord Liu, the magistrate of Hedong Prefecture, had already stood up. He heard what Qin Fang and Magistrate Yang said outside just now. Qin Fang's voice was not soft when he said this. He must have told him that he didn't want to visit him specifically.

However, no matter what the reason was for Qin Fang, Mr. Liu always felt uncomfortable. 껣Although I knew that Yunxiang County had a new city-defending general, I didn't see it, so I didn't know it. Now that I saw him, the other party didn't go to see me, so I felt a little strange in my heart. However, the other party's teacher is Du Ke, and he doesn't have the guts to go to the capital with Du Ke.

However, ‌'s impression of Qin Fang was no longer good.

Qin Fang didn't do that much. When he saw Master Liu, he saluted: "I've seen Master Liu at last." The salute was just a clasping of fists and bending down. A general would not kneel down as a salute. sets, unless there are special circumstances.

Mr. Liu said: "General Qin, no need to be polite, please sit down."

Qin Fang said: "Thank you, sir. I have just entered the officialdom, and I don't know much about the etiquette in the officialdom. I come from a poor family, and no one has taught me these things. In addition, not long after I took office, the emperor gave me a secret order. I was not allowed to leave Yunxiang County, so I did not report it to your Majesty, so I am going to apologize to you here. "Qin Fang sincerely apologizes. This matter was indeed an oversight. Therefore, ‌‌ frankly told me that later the emperor sent a secret order, asking ‌ to monitor the Beast Mountain Taoist Temple. Those people in the Ministry of Industry who were researching fire medicine didn't even have time to rest, let alone remember the prefect of Hedong Prefecture. ‌In love.

However, Qin Fang overlooked one point. Du Ke and the emperor would listen to some trivial information, but Master Liu would not listen. From what Master Liu heard, Qin Fang was arrogant and told him clearly that he had the emperor's backing.

Mr. Liu's face darkened, but he quickly said with a smile: "General Qin, your noble lord is busy, so we'll just wait until I don't come."

As a bystander, County Magistrate Yang clearly saw Master Liu's expression. I haven't gotten along with Qin Fang for a short time, but I have some understanding of Qin Fang's character. He is not a proud and arrogant person. In addition, as soon as Qin Fang arrived in Yunxiang County, he became busy with the military camp and Beast Mountain. He was indeed busy all the time.

No matter how busy you are, you should take a day to visit Mr. Liu. So in this matter, no matter what reasons Qin Fang had, Qin Fang was indeed wrong. But Magistrate Yang couldn't explain it to Master Liu. After all, he was working in front of Master Liu, unlike Qin Fang. Although Qin Fang was only at the fifth rank, Master Liu was a rank, but Master Liu couldn't control it. Qin Fang, civil servants and generals have always been under separate jurisdiction.

If a civil servant is promoted, he needs to be assessed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The promotion of a military general has always depended on military merit. Therefore, the officials cannot control the generals.

In Qi State, the emperor 껣떘 and the six tribes had the most power. In the previous dynasty, there was a prime minister, and with the prime minister's presence, the power of the six tribes was divided. After Taiyuanzu rebelled and established Qiguo, he directly abolished the prime minister system in order to gather power. In this way, the six departments were as powerful as the sky.

땤六部꿗, the Ministry of War governs the military.

There are issues involving military power here.

In Qi State, military power and military power were separate concepts.

For example, the Marquis of Yonghe has military power and can order fifty thousand Yonghe troops.

However, as the minister of the Ministry of War, Du Ke did not have military power, but he had military power, and he had the right to be transferred to Yonghehou. To put it simply, military power manages soldiers, and military power manages military camps.

In emergency situations, the Ministry of War has the right to directly transfer military camps. This is military power.

The emperor may not have military power, but the Minister of War is a ‌ person and ‌ holds military power.

After Qin Fang and Mr. Liu exchanged pleasantries, County Magistrate Yang sent someone to serve the food. Because the conversation was serious, Magistrate Yang did not send anyone to wait on them. Instead, he ordered someone to prepare a table of wine and food, and poured the wine for Mr. Liu and Qin with his own hands. "Master Liu, General Qin, now that you are in charge, I would like to propose a toast to you."

Today, we are talking about business. Qin Fang does not want to drink alcohol, but since Mr. Liu is here, it is not good to refuse, so he said: "Master Liu, drinking is harmful to the body, why don't we just go with you?" "

Mr. Liu, I'm sorry, isn't the military commander addicted to alcohol? This person is a hindrance. Although it is like this, you can't say it like this. He said: "General Qin said, we will follow you. General Qin and Mr. Yang, we will follow you." After that, he said lightly A shallow peck.

Qin Fang said: "Thank you for your understanding."

The three of them drank some wine and ate some side dishes, and then started talking seriously. Mr. Liu asked: "General Qin, Mr. Du mentioned it during the meeting with me today that our franchisee of Hedongfu is General Qin. So what is General Qin's plan to do next? I heard Mr. Du say that joining There are agents behind the business, and the franchisees produce potato flour and sweet potato flour, and then the agents in front of them sell potato flour and sweet potato flour, but is this the case? "

Qin Fang said: "That's true. I have discussed this matter with Zhuo Jing. We only produce it, and the agent above is responsible for the purchase and sale. However, the imperial grain is the emperor's brand. "Now it's potato flour and sweet potato flour, but in the near future there will be other grains. The price of these grains will be uniform across the country."

Mr. Liu said: "I understand this. Mr. Du mentioned that potato flour and sweet potato flour are sold for seven cents per 꿭 for take-out, and the franchisee's price to the agent is five cents per 꿭."

Qin Fang said: "That's true."

Mr. Liu said: "We have a city and a county in Hedong Prefecture. If General Qin's family wants to buy or sell, wouldn't it mean that they have to find five agents?"

General Qin said: "Yes, I plan to hand over the agency of Yunxiang County to Mr. Yang. As for the others, I don't know about them, and I don't know for sure. Mr. Yang, I don't know about Yang. How about home?”

Magistrate Yang did not realize that there was such kindness, so he hurriedly said: "Thank you, General Qin." The family is indeed having a hard time, and the family relies on the salary to support them. It's not enough at all, but fortunately I have some savings from the past. Although he is not poor now, he lives a very frugal life because of his family, old and young. Moreover, since I am not a local, I have to spend extra money to buy land here. After this operation, the savings I brought with me when I first came here have been almost spent.

Regarding the relationship between potato flour and sweet potato flour, Magistrate Yang did have this idea, but he didn't mention it because he didn't know if the Qin family wanted to do this business in Yunxiang County. Hearing Qin Fang talk about it on his own initiative, I felt extremely grateful.

Hedong Mansion watched the interaction and decided to give Qin Fang a try, so he expressed his thoughts: "General Qin, the remaining prefectures and other county agents, you Is there any way?"

Qin Fang said: "Everything is based on character, just like choosing a franchisee. The one you choose is a pure and good family." Qin Fang is not a fool, "I wonder if Mr. Liu has such a method in his family?" ‌, if I bypass Mr. Liu and choose someone else, I'm afraid I can't make it. Therefore, Qin Fang could only ask Master Liu first.

Mr. Liu is convinced that Qin Fang is on his way. However, ‌ said in an official tone: "The Imperial Food Franchise Program is organized by the Emperor. It is the responsibility of the ministers to do their best for the Emperor."

Qin Fang asked himself that he was not an idiot, but as Mr. Liu said, he had to say that he was not so thick-skinned. "Then I will discuss it with the teacher after I go back. I know that Yunxiang County is a test camp, so I have to be extra cautious." Otherwise, I have to investigate the details of Master Liu.

When Master Liu heard this, he stopped and said: "That's what it should be. Master Du is careful in his actions. General Qin followed Master Du, but he just followed Master Du because he thought he was a good teacher."

Qin Fang said: "Teacher is strict with himself, I will not disappoint him."

Then, ‌‌ paid Duco a compliment, and the dinner was over.

Qin Fang said: "Master Liu, the general's mansion and the inn are in the same direction. I will take you to the inn."

Master Liu nodded: "Thank you very much."

Magistrate Yang said: "I'm just going to have some food after dinner, so I'll send it to Mr. Liu."

Qin Fang looked at Magistrate Yang.

Mr. Liu didn't think there was any problem with Magistrate Yang's behavior. Magistrate Yang was the prefect, and Magistrate Yang was the county magistrate. Wasn't it right to send him to the inn?
