Chapter 543
After briefly describing the Chang'an Rebellion and answering various questions, Qin Feng looked at Ma Zhou and said with a smile, "Besides that, today is also a farewell meeting with King Bin."

"Farewell?"

"General? You are..."

"King Bin!" Qin Feng walked to the side of Ma Zhou whose face changed greatly, and said with a smile: "I know you can't bear to bear with my brothers, and we also can't bear to bear with you. You have been with me for so long, and no one here knows you Possessing the talent of a prime minister? If you keep following me, not only will you be wronged, but it will also be a waste of money. To be honest, Youzhou is waiting for prosperity. Youzhou needs you, and I also need you to stay and help me. Everyone is sincere You will build Youzhou into a paradise on earth. However, besides the people in Youzhou, there are more people who need your talents to help them live a better life. Now, Your Majesty and the important ministers in the court have agreed to carry out the great development of Jiangnan. , Your Majesty wants me to take charge of this matter, but I really can't leave Youzhou, and His Majesty can't find a suitable candidate for a while, so I recommend you. Your Majesty also looks forward to you for a long time, without any hesitation agreed."

"The development of the Great Jiangnan is a matter of contemporary merits and future benefits. Once developed, the grain there can be continuously sent to the north through the Grand Canal. Once developed, it will be the strategic depth of the Central Plains. In the days to come, even if In the event of alien soldiers approaching Chang'an, we Han people can also rely on the vast Jiangnan and the criss-crossing water network to deal with the enemy. Waiting for the right time, we will rally and fight the enemy. Your Majesty strongly supports the proposal to develop the Great Jiangnan , this is not only an opportunity for Datang, but also an opportunity for you, I really hope that you can go to Jiangnan to display your talents and ambitions."

Seeing that Ma Zhou was deep in thought and silent, Qin Feng cast a wink at Luo Tong. Luo Tong understood Qin Feng's meaning and came to Ma Zhou next: "The first among us brothers is Dingfang and Rengui. Take the lead, now it's your turn again, King Bin, your brothers all know what you are capable of, aren't you just a Jiangnan? What are you afraid of? Haha, I will congratulate you first!"

Ma Zhou sighed: "If there is no great general, I, Ma Zhou, would not be where I am today."

After speaking, he glanced at Xue Rengui who was opposite, and the latter also nodded in response.

Ma Zhou thought for a while, then he stood up, bowed to Qin Feng, and said with tears in his eyes, "Zhou was an orphan when he was young. He was forced to live far away in another country. If the general hadn't taken him in, Zhou would never have a bright future. The general thought that Zhou was humble and treated him like a brother, and Zhou wished he could repay him with his life. , I dare not disobey the kind wishes of the General and Your Majesty, but at present, there are so many things going on in Youzhou, I really can't go away."

"Well, we got to where we are today with support all the way. We can't say who is kind to whom. It's difficult for a gentleman not to force others. Forget it, I won't persuade you much." Qin Feng knew that it was his evasion He stopped persuading him, and changed his words: "I know you love calligraphy, and I also have the title of a calligraphy master, but I have never given you a single word. Today, I will give you three words."

"Thank you, General!" Ma Zhou said excitedly. He asked Qin Feng for more than one time, but Qin Feng agreed at the time, but he forgot when he got busy.So, over the years, I have never seriously sent him a few words. Now that Qin Feng offered to propose, there is no reason why Ma Zhou, who loves words like his life, should not be excited.

When the attendants brought the four treasures of the study, Qin Feng thought for a while, then splashed ink, and in a blink of an eye, three sets of calligraphy were completed overnight.

When the ink was dry, Qin Feng handed the first large characters to Ma Zhou.

Ma Zhou couldn't wait to take a look, and a majestic momentum came from the paper, and the two people's words "天下" jumped out on the paper.

Looking at the words, Ma Zhou couldn't help but read: "The world!"

The second one is "A confidant in the sea, a neighbor at the end of the world."

The third one is "If you worry about the road ahead and have no confidant, no one in the world does not know you."

After looking at these three characters for a long time, Ma Zhou burst out into a burst of hearty laughter: "Thank you, General, Ma Zhou understands and realizes the true meaning of the word 'world'. Well, this Jiangnan, I will go What's the matter with him?"

Ma Zhou recognized Li Shimin as the hero very much. He was just reluctant to leave this happy team, so he rejected Qin Feng's kindness. No longer rejecting Qin Feng's kindness, he also agreed to what Qin Feng said.

Qin Feng smiled gratifiedly, and knew that this virtuous prime minister had officially stepped onto the stage of history.

That night, Qin Feng and Ma Zhou chatted for a long time, until the sky gradually dawned, and they didn't want to go to bed separately.The two of them talked about Youzhou and Jiangnan. Of course, the most important thing was some things about Jiangnan. Although Ma Zhou didn't know everything about Jiangnan, what he knew was definitely far inferior to Qin Feng. A talented brother, in order to avoid detours on the road of development, Qin Feng talked a lot about Jiangnan, so that Ma Zhou had a general understanding of the humanities, customs, climate, temperature, and topography of Jiangnan. Some specific matters can only be waited for him. The answer could only be found after field investigation in the south of the Yangtze River, and Qin Feng did not deliberately remind Ma Zhou what to do and how to do it.Because he knows that this kind of remote control idea is not necessary, and some seemingly well-intentioned reminders can easily mislead Ma Zhou, who has a rough chest at some point. Therefore, he is only responsible for describing Jiangnan. As for how to do calligraphy and painting, it is Ma Zhou's own business. up.When they parted, Qin Feng gave Ma Zhou the notes copied in Shangshu Province during this period, as well as the copy of the memorial, in various unformed versions. He knew that Ma Zhou needed these things for participation, so, together When he came to Youzhou, he was so grateful to Bole, his boss, and his brother Ma Zhou, who had a high position and authority but was approachable, that he was speechless and choked for several times.

"Prince Bin, the development of Jiangnan will benefit tens of thousands of ordinary people, and the common people will agree and welcome it, but reform and development also indicate that this is a re-division of Jiangnan's interests, and it will also harm a small number of people. Benefits, it is inevitable that these people don't welcome them. As the saying goes, cutting people's wealth is like killing their parents. In Shuofang and Youzhou, we had a large army sitting in town. Wei, they also have to cooperate obediently, but Jiangnan is different. First of all, the imperial court has always paid little attention to Jiangnan. And time; Secondly, although the strength and prestige of the Jiangnan family is not as high as that of the five surnames, they have always been xenophobic. Once their interests are touched, they will definitely form a group against you. Without the support of these people, the development of various affairs will also change. You have to slow down, brother, you have a long way to go; third, some people will definitely take extreme measures against you for their own benefit. Assassination is indispensable. In order to ensure your safety, I will let Luo Tong choose from the army tomorrow. There are [-] elite personnel, and letting them go to the post with you will be responsible for your safety."

"King Bin understands." Ma Zhou already knew what kind of severe test he would face when he agreed, and he knew what Qin Feng said. At that time, he felt warm in his heart knowing Qin Feng's kindness, but he was still ready to refuse.

"Don't refuse." Qin Feng knew what he meant, and said with a smile: "These 100 people are not protecting you, Ma Zhou, or my brothers. They are protecting the hope of the people, the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River, and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty." future."

Ma Zhou smiled slightly and said: "In that case, then I will not be polite." Ma Zhou is not a pedant, he knows that he can't convince the crowd by going into battle alone, and often he will use force. Familiarity, with this hundred soldiers in hand, it will help him solve a lot of troubles.

"It should be so!" Qin Feng said here, and said: "If you encounter a huge problem, you may wish to ask the local garrison for help. This is also the condition for my release. Your Majesty agreed."

……

That night, like Ma Zhou's nanny, Qin Feng babbled a lot, wishing to tell Ma Zhou all he had learned and known.Of course, what he said the most was to make him pay attention to safety, and taught him many methods of reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance.Ma Zhou was grateful for Qin Feng's kindness, and knew that these are life-saving knowledge that money cannot buy, so he memorized them one by one.

"Maybe I was worrying too much!" At the end, Qin Feng laughed at himself and said: "The imperial court first rectified the administration of officials and tried its best to crack down on corrupt officials; now it is cracking down on the remnants of Skynet and Luowang all over the country. Under the melon, many criminals were caught. Even if there were criminals, they would hide in the cave and dare not come out to walk. Speaking of which, these two major actions of the court have also cleared many obstacles for you. Alright, Let’s not talk about it. It’s almost dawn, so you should go to bed earlier.” Qin Feng yawned and asked casually, “How is Du He?”

"It's not bad!" Ma Zhou smiled and praised: "His foundation is solid, and he is also easy to learn. He lacks experience and patience. He is good at judging things and has the style of being a father. With a little tempering, even Not the talent of the prime minister, but also the talent of the governor."

"Oh? I can't see that this prodigal son has turned around and has shown extraordinary talent. But for young people, it is inevitable to have a bad temper. If this is the case, he will live up to Du Xiangzhi's trust." Qin Feng He laughed happily.

Finally, my efforts were not in vain. At the same time, through my high-pressure suppression, I also changed the ending of some people, such as Du He and Fang Yiai. The trajectory has undergone earth-shaking changes.

"What kind of general brings out what kind of soldiers, this is the so-called near Zhu Zhechi."

"It's fine as long as it's not black people who are close to ink." Qin Feng laughed and said, "So, the government affairs of Youzhou can be handed over to Du He?"

"I can see it!"

"Well! Then you will hand over to him tomorrow! Go to Chang'an as soon as possible to face the saint. Your Majesty can say that you are looking forward to it."

"Here!" Ma Zhou bowed his hands, and Qin Feng got up to see him off.

In the yard, under the moonlight, a slender and lonely figure stood silently holding a sword.

She is the Xuan Bing that Li Shimin bestowed on Qin Feng.

After leaving the palace, she is Qin Feng's personal bodyguard and the sharp blade in Qin Feng's hands, and she must obey all arrangements unconditionally.

Of course, in times of danger, even if she sacrificed, Qin Feng must be kept safe. This was Li Shimin's order to her.It can also be said that it was a deal between Li Shimin and her, because her brother had been found, and Li Shimin promised to let his brother live a life without worrying about food and clothing.

Xuan Bing is not qualified to negotiate terms with Li Shimin. If it weren't for the eldest grandson Wuji's request and her frank confession, it would not be surprising to kill her a hundred times based on the numerous murders she committed.

Xuan Bingqing knew that her life was no longer her own, but for the sake of her younger brother, even though she knew it might be a dead end, she had no regrets and had no choice.
