    But Gu Feng took a step back, raised his arms and saluted Qi Yan respectfully: "Thanks to the master for saving his life and rebuilding his life, Gu Feng does not dare to call the master brother again, but I hope the master will understand."

    Qi Yan looked at the hands folded together in his sight. The fingers were thick and stiff. Where were the hands for reading and calligraphy?  Rather, he looks like a rough man who has been doing heavy work for a long time

    The man in front of me is no longer the same as the high-spirited young man from the past.  Qi Yan still remembers the Lantern Festival many years ago, when he and Gu Feng faced off in front of the lantern riddle formation. Although this man was very sharp, he was full of real talent and knowledge. In the end, he quit and won the championship.  He took the money to open up a new path and became an aide to the second prince's house. With his assistance, the second prince's reputation among the people and the court was unrivaled among the many princes.

    Three years ago, Gu Feng was affected by the witchcraft and was exiled to Northern Kyushu to repair the city.  The governor of Northern Kyushu, Erihe Anujin, did not regard these Wei prisoners as human beings at all, and the prisoners sent there lived a hellish life.

    He ordered money to bring a large amount of banknotes, and bought some dying prisoners on the way to escort. Gu Feng was not among this batch of prisoners.  Because he was once a close minister of the second prince, he was treated as a serious criminal and was directly escorted to Kitakyushu by officials from the Ministry of Punishment.

    In the second year after Qi Yan took office in Jinzhou, a young man who had failed many times went to the Prefecture to apply for a job as a clerk. The man's style and temperament were very similar to Gu Feng.  Qi Yan then remembered this old friend and wrote a letter to Qian Yuan, asking him to go to Luobei to find this person.

    It took Qian Yuan more than half a year to find the unrecognizable Gu Feng. He was suffering from malaria and was as skinny as a stick. His guards threw him to a secluded place and left him to die

    Qian Yuan took the man to the Luoshui River to patrol the famous doctors, and spent countless money to save him.

    And most of Gu Feng¡¯s family members were also implicated, and his elderly Gao Tang died on the road to exile.

    A few days ago, Qian Yuan sent a letter saying that Gu Feng had been arranged to wait for dispatch near Jinzhou. This was the first meeting between the two after many years.

    "Are you still used to it?" Qi Yan asked lightly.

    Gu Feng remained silent and did not speak, and Qi Yan continued without forcing him: "I asked you to come this time because the Sifang Bank under me has been suppressed by Tongyuan Bank. It is difficult to operate a bank account in the capital. I  I hope you will assist Qian Yuan in taking care of the bank¡¯s business.¡±

    Gu Feng raised his eyelids and asked, "Isn't the owner of Tongyuan Bank that high official Xie An?"

    Qi Yan: "That's right, one moment and another. The Xie family's wealth has been passed down for three generations, and it's time to get a share of the pie. The master behind Xie An is the third prince Nangong Wang. To put it bluntly, the Xie family's property belongs to Nangong Wang.  Money bag. Money is a good thing. As long as Xie An is behind to inject money into Nangong Wang, Nangong Wang can dominate the fifth prince in the court."

    Gu Feng¡¯s eyes flashed with fierceness, and he replied: ¡°I¡¯m afraid the villain¡¯s methods are more vicious than those of Huiyin. Master, don¡¯t you mind?¡±

    Qi Yan curled her lips and said, "Make the aftermath clean, everything is up to you."

    Gu Feng: "Yes."

    ¡­¡­

    Qi Yan left the ruined temple first. With a "pop" sound, the already shaky half wooden door of the small temple fell to the ground, stirring up waves of smoke and dust that swayed around in circles.

    Qi Yan didn't even look back, but Qian Tong, who was standing by the carriage, excitedly pulled out the sword from his waist and looked behind Qi Yan warily. Qi Yan waved his hand to signal Qian Tong to calm down. Under the gaze of the other party,  Returned to the carriage.

    Qian Tong also jumped on the carriage and glanced into the dark little temple. He shook the reins and said, "Drive!"

    Qi Yan leaned on the carriage and slowly closed her eyes. She said that she wanted to thank Xie An for giving her such a talent as Qian Yuan.

    In the past three years, the industries under Qi Yan's name have spread like vines to all parts of the Wei Kingdom. Although the scale is not yet mature, as long as Sifang Bank can enter the capital and make a name for itself, with the support of money, the rest of the industries will be like this  They spring up like bamboo shoots after the rain.

    After the witchcraft case, Qi Yan secretly took in hundreds of people. Moreover, two years ago, Qi Yan also sent people to travel around secretly and took in some orphans.

    Since Qi Yan herself is from Jinzhou, she has played a decisive role in the Qi clan during the three years she has served as the prefect of Jinzhou.  Many students of the Qi family want to call Qi Yan "brother" or "uncle". There are more than thirty people from the Jinzhou Qi family who are qualified for this year's exam

    If he manages it properly, Qi Yan can quickly cultivate a group of "direct" forces in the court.  The current Jinzhou is like Yingchuan in the Three Kingdoms era, which brought together Sima Hui, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, Guo Jia, Xun You, and Xun Yu. It won't be long before Jinzhou students will become the emperor of the Wei Kingdom.Gongda opened the scroll and glanced at it, his inner shock was palpable. He couldn't help but raised his eyes and looked at Qi Yan, who still bowed his head and looked modest.

    Nangongda read the file carefully. Since the plague in the first year of Jingjia, Jinzhou's ten houses, nine empty houses and hundreds of industries have withered. Later, the city was seriously damaged by floods and natural disasters. Over the years, there has been no improvement despite the replacement of countless governors.

    But in the three years since Qi Yan took over Jinzhou, the population of Jinzhou Prefecture has increased by more than ten times, almost approaching the level before the epidemic.

    Taxation, corvee and commercial taxes have also reached the level of a prosperous state capital.

    The city defense repairs were also carried out in an orderly manner. What is even more commendable is that Qi Yan built four official schools and produced more than 30 talents!

    Qi Yan promptly explained: "When I boldly took office, I took out all the surplus grain in the official warehouse of Jinzhou Prefecture, raised donations from Jinzhou gentry in a private name, and distributed official documents to the neighboring state capital: all Jinzhou natives  People need to satisfy a household of three people. If they are willing to return to their hometown, they will be given three stones of coarse grains or one stone of polished rice, and one tael of silver to settle down. People from other prefectures who are willing to move to Jinzhou will be given a minimum of five people per household, and once they are given coarse grains, they will be given one tael of silver.  Two, and the government will provide the carriages and horses needed for the move."

    Nangongda¡¯s eyes widened and he marveled at Qi Yan¡¯s unusual mind and courage.

    Nangongda: "Aren't you afraid that if you spend all the government's remaining grain and money, the government's treasury will not be able to pay the bills next year? This is a serious crime."

    Qi Yan muttered: "Afraid."

    Nangongda: "Then why is this?"

    Qi Yan took a deep breath and replied thoughtfully: "In fact, the money and surplus grain in the treasury were quickly used up. I had to use the land deeds of the Prince Consort's house and private residence as collateral and borrow a lot of money from various banks.  Just finished this"

    Nangongda¡¯s eyes widened, shocked by Qi Yan¡¯s ¡°madness¡±.

    "I looked through the records of Jinzhou Prefecture over the years and found that before the first year of Jingjia, the tax paid by Jinzhou Prefecture every year was the best among all other prefectures. In addition, I am from Jinzhou, and I know that the soil and water there are fertile and the food production is extremely high.  Therefore, Jinzhou has been decadent for many years only because there are no people. Tens of thousands of acres of fertile land are overgrown with weeds and no one is cultivating it. Of the hundreds of shops on a street, only a few are still open It took me half a year to visit every place in Jinzhou.  As a county, I was pleasantly surprised to find that although Jinzhou is in decline, its foundation is still there, and as long as there are people, it can be restored to its former state!"

    Nangong Da stared at Qi Yan blankly, impressed by Qi Yan's unintentional charm and confidence. This is what the so-called strategizing is.

    Nangongda felt a little excited under the influence of Qi Yan. He asked Qi Yan again: "It is a serious crime to embezzle the government treasury privately. The court will investigate my brother-in-law once a year. Aren't you afraid of being convicted?"

    Qi Yan replied in a low voice: "I have always been in awe of laws and regulations, but there are still many things in life that I 'know I can't do but do it'. Moreover, before I implemented this, it was not because I was hot-tempered, but  We convened wise men from all walks of life to discuss and come up with certain possibilities before proceeding.¡±

    Qi Yan¡¯s words were like a revelation to Nangong Da, the prince of the prison country. He actually forgot that there was a person hiding behind the screen and discussed government affairs with Qi Yan.

    From Jinzhou¡¯s governance, humanities, to some difficulties Qiyan encountered and how to solve them, we also talked about Jinzhou¡¯s talent training and this imperial examination

    Every word the two talked about fell into Nangong Jingnu¡¯s ears. She couldn¡¯t see anyone through the screen, but she miraculously imagined every expression, look and movement of Qi Yan.

    It is extremely clear and vivid, as if they have never been separated.

    Listening to his every detail in the past three years, it was the first time I saw another side of Qi Yan besides being the consort.

    It was an existence that was radiating light from head to toe, making people unable to take their eyes away.

    Although Nangong Da and Nangong Jingnu have been slightly estranged in the past few years, Nangong Da, who did not know that Nangong Jingnu took over the government affairs, still cherishes his younger sister.

    Nangong Da invited Nangong Jingnu half an hour in advance and asked her to hide behind the screen. He wanted to give Qi Yan a "surprise" to bring the couple back together, but she overheard such an insightful speech.  speech.
