Ning Xiaofan looked at the five or six people who came in with a smile and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Ning Xiaofan. Nice to meet you."
When these people heard what Ning Xiaofan said, they all looked at Ning Xiaofan dumbfounded. It was obvious that in their hearts, a person who could lead an army must be someone who could conquer and fight well.
General.
He must be at least 30 years old, and he must look majestic, but Ning Xiaofan looks like an ordinary scholar, chatting and laughing, and he is quite good-looking.
But this really has nothing to do with a general who is good at fighting.
At this time, the man named Gao Quan looked at Ning Xiaofan in surprise and said, "Are you General Ning? Are you the General Ning who defeated the Yuan army today?"
Ning Xiaofan said with a smile: "What's wrong? Doesn't it sound like what you mean to me?"
When Ning Xiaofan said this, Gao Quan was startled. He quickly bowed his back and said, "No, no, no, General Ning, I definitely didn't mean this. I hope General Ning will never misunderstand. I, Gao Quan,
On behalf of my Gao family, I would like to welcome General Ning to Xinyi City!"
At this time, Chengde, who was standing next to him, glared at Gao Quan and said, "Gao Quan, you are wrong."
When Gao Quan heard this, he was secretly surprised. He was recalling what he had said wrongly, and at the same time, he was also wondering if the Chen De in front of him had set some trap for him.
"Brother Chen, what do you mean by this? Did I say something wrong? If I really said something wrong, I now apologize to General Ning."
"Gao Quan can't apologize for everything. Let me tell you, this place no longer belongs to the Song Dynasty. It belongs to General Ning. So now you have to think about whether you are willing to submit to General Ning.
"
When he said these words, not only Gao Xuan, but also the patriarchs of the nearby families looked at Chen De and Ning Xiaofan in great surprise. It was obvious that they really didn't believe Chen De.
what was said.
Could it be that this Ning Xiaofan is actually from the Yuan Kingdom? But if he is from the Yuan Kingdom, why did he defeat the Yuan Kingdom’s army outside?
Isn’t this too contradictory? Could it be that there is some misunderstanding in this?
Gao Quan said: "General Ning, I don't quite understand what Brother Chen means."
"Gao Quan, I have to correct you. You can't call me Brother Chen. I am the Xincheng County Magistrate personally appointed by General Ning. Of course, you must be very confused about where Xincheng is. So
I tell you now, the place under your feet has been
General Ning renamed it, and this place will be called Xincheng from now on, and I, Chen De, will be the county magistrate of Xincheng. Of course, you must also ask what a county magistrate is, so let me tell you again, the county magistrate is in the new city, except regardless of
Internal affairs other than the military are under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate."
When Chen De said this, he quickly turned his head and glanced at Ning Xiaofan.
Obviously, even though he said this, he still had to look at Ning Xiaofan's face and see if Ning Xiaofan agreed with his statements.
Ning Xiaofan's expression was very calm, and he obviously did not reject Chen De's words.
Since then, Chen De has become even more excited, because now even Ning Xiaofan has not refuted him, which means that he is actually the boss in charge of internal affairs in Xincheng now.
Gao Quan listened to Chen Dao's painting and at the same time saw Chen De and Ning Xiaofan's eyes. He saw that Ning Xiaofan had no reaction at all and was very bland, just like what Chen De said.
It's very normal. This really surprised Gao Quan. Could it be that all of this is true?
If this is the case, then the current Chengde is equivalent to the former prefect. The only difference is that now he is only in charge of internal affairs and does not care about the army.
Of course, if Chen De takes charge of the army again, Gao Quan will be even more surprised.
At this moment, not only the people next to Gao Quan were also very surprised, because they never expected that Chen Deke would really climb up a branch and become a phoenix.
When Chen De saw the confused looks on the faces of the people in front of him, he immediately said unhappily: "What expressions are you looking at? Do you mean that you don't agree with General Ning's order? Or do you mean that you don't treat General Ning at all?"
What do you think of it?"
When these people heard Chen De's words, they immediately gritted their teeth in anger. It was obvious that Zeng De's words could easily plunge all the people in front of them into a state of life and death.
Even desperate.
At this time, Ning Xiaofan said with a smile: "What County Magistrate Chen just said is true. From now on, this city will be called Xincheng. I hope you can remember that Xincheng belongs to the Pangu area. As for Pangu
Where is the region? Then, I can also
Chang clearly tells you that the Pangu area is from Linyang City to Anfeng City. Let’s put it this way, everything in between will be collectively referred to as the Pangu area. The Pangu area is different from other vassal territories. There is no such place in the Pangu area.
of slavery, so from now on
, Xincheng has abolished slavery and everyone is equal. Of course, if we say that everyone is truly equal, let you be equal to those newly liberated slaves, haha, I think you will definitely not be willing, even if you say so
I am willing, but in your heart you are also willing
I am extremely unwilling, so I won’t force you. I just need to turn those slaves into civilians, and you are no longer slave owners. You are still a wealthy family. Of course, from now on, you wealthy families will no longer be slave owners.
Is it doing business or in other ways?
To make profits, you have to pay taxes to the government in the Pangu area. As for the amount of payment, there will be clear regulations. Of course, this is only a small part of the changes. There will be many other changes in the Pangu area in the future, because Pangu
The area is cut off from other places
I hope you are mentally prepared for this, so I can tell you clearly now that if you want to leave and live in this Pangu area, I will not make it difficult for you. I can let you go, except for the land.
Besides, your gold and silver are fine
Soft, your property can be taken away. We will never ask for a penny from you. Of course, we will not guarantee your safety and cause any harm, but this does not guarantee that others will not miss you.
wealth, correspondingly, if you wish
Stay and become a Pangu person in the Pangu area, then I will definitely welcome you very much. At the same time, I will also assure you that you will always be safe in the Pangu area. Whether it is your personal safety or property safety, it will be the whole sky blue.
The safest in mainland China.”
After Ning Xiaofan said these words, the people in front of them immediately looked at me and me. It was obvious that these people had never paid a penny in taxes before.
Because in their view, they are all superior nobles and they should not pay any taxes. Only the lowly common people or their hard work will unconditionally pay various kinds of money to them.
You must know that even when Yuan Jun was stationed here, they never said such words, but now that Ning Xiaofan has just arrived, he said such words, and it seems that this system must be passed down. If
If this system is truly passed down, it will really be a disaster for wealthy families like them, at least for them now.
So they didn't dare to respond, because they knew very well that they were very unwilling to accept Ning Xiaofan's system, but they also knew in their hearts that if they refused directly, they would suffer huge safety problems.
Although Ning Xiaofan said that he would not hurt anyone in front of him, even though he said so, none of the people in front of him would believe it, because they would never believe what Ning Xiaofan said.
words.
Ning Xiaofan continued: "Now Chen De is already the county magistrate of Xincheng, but there are still some positions that require capable people to fill, such as the deputy county magistrate of Xincheng. The deputy county magistrate's duty is to assist the county magistrate.
Management, this Xincheng County, is different from the county magistrate in that multiple deputy county magistrates can be appointed, which means that the county magistrate can only
There is one deputy county magistrate, but there can be two, three or even four deputy county magistrates. Of course, this also depends on whether Xincheng County’s government affairs are busy. In addition, in order to avoid the emergence of corruption, a financial department and a financial department must be set up.
What is it? The Financial Secretary is mainly responsible for managing the finance of Xincheng County, such as the taxation of Xincheng County
, All taxes collected by the tax office must be handed over to the Financial Secretary. These are managed by the Financial Secretary. Of course, if there is a Financial Secretary, there must be a deputy director. This can depend on the situation.
In addition, there is a city guard station. What is a morning meeting station? That is, some government officials are needed in the new city. They
He is mainly responsible for the daily public security issues of Xincheng County. General minor issues only need to be handled by the director of the City Guard Office. Of course, there may be some other duties in the future, so I won’t go into detail here, so I believe
Everyone, if you have talents, you can show your talents in Xincheng County."
The words Ning Xiaofan said made the people in front of him stunned for a moment.
It’s not just people like Chen Degaoquan.
Even Lu Wen, Li Hu and even Jin Chanzi were very surprised.
Jin Chanzi knew what Ning Xiaofan meant by these positions. He was also very shocked. Ning Xiaofan really wanted to change this era.
You must know that these plants that Ning Xiaofan said before should all belong to the main and highest person in charge of this city and can be handled by one person. In that case, the power of this highest person in charge will be very great. However, it is also
Because the top person in charge has unlimited power
Big, so everything has become one word. As long as you do what the top person in charge says, no one dares not to listen. Now Ning Xiaofan has spread the rights of this person to many people, which makes it easy to eliminate corruption.
Corruption, because then we can supervise each other.
At least that's what Ning Xiaofan thinks, and he also hopes that's the case.
"General Ning, in fact, I can handle all the functions you mentioned just now. After all, since I have become the county magistrate of Xincheng County, I should devote more energy."
The person who spoke was naturally Chen De.
In fact, if the people in front of them understand what Ning Xiaofan said, they will be able to understand it very clearly, because these words are good for everyone, but they are not good for Chen De alone.
Speakable.
Because, Ning Xiaofan's system is equivalent to dividing the power that originally belonged to Chen De, and dividing these rights into very small and detailed ways.
At this time, Gao Quan, who had always been very dissatisfied with Chen De, immediately said to Chen De with ill intentions: "County Magistrate Chen, how can you question the system that General Ning said? I think it's what General Ning said."
These systems are really great. These systems can definitely make our new city more prosperous. County Mayor Chen, don’t you feel sorry for the power in your hands? Or do you want to dominate it alone?
What about the entire new city? Don’t forget that General Ning has already said that the hundreds of miles from Linyang City to Anfeng City are all the Pangu area. In other words, General Ning is the king of the Pangu area.
Aren't you willing to obey the king's order? If that's the case, we the people of Pangu region will have to deal with you, the county chief, for the king of Pangu region."
When Chen De heard Gao Quan's words, his face suddenly turned blue.
He knew that Gao Quan would find any opportunity to attack him. Originally, he thought that since he was the county magistrate of Xincheng, he would be the king of Xincheng from now on. After all, Ning Xiaofan could not stay in Xincheng forever.
In that case, he can take care of the families in front of him. His goal is to annex all the families in front of him. In that case, the Chen family will be the largest family in Xincheng, and Chen De will naturally be the family in Xincheng.
After the local emperor became emperor, no matter who occupied the new city in the future, he would reuse Chen De. The Chen family could really survive in the new city for a long time.
But now, Ning Xiaofan's system has completely shattered his dream.
Moreover, Gao Quan's current words are really a very clear attack on him. If he doesn't respond, then in front of Ning Xiaofan, I'm afraid...
"General Ning, please don't listen to Gao Quan's nonsense. My loyalty to General Ning is astonishing. If General Ning asks me to be the county magistrate, I will do it well. If General Ning asks me to be a civilian, I, Chen De, will do it well."
I will definitely become a civilian honestly, because my heart, Chen De, will always be loyal to General Ning."
Everyone present laughed at Chen De's words.
Why?
Because Chen De's flattering skills are so powerful that it puts everyone present to shame. It can be said that no one here can possess Chen De's flattering skills. It is really for power and status. What did he say?
You can tell it all.
Ning Xiaofan chuckled and said, "County Magistrate Chen, is this really the case?"
Chen De said: "General Ning, I, Chen De, swear to God."
Ning Xiaofan said: "Then if I let Gao Quan be the county magistrate, would you be very willing?"
"ah?"
When Ning Xiaofan said these words, Chen De's eyes widened immediately. Not only him, but Gao Quan was also shocked.
Obviously, this sudden happiness made Gao Quan a little at a loss.
Gao Quan flopped and knelt on the ground.
Gao Quan knew very well that their ancestral homes were all in Xincheng, and all their property was in Xincheng. They could leave, but the fields and houses in their hands could not be left together. Therefore, these families
It is impossible to leave here, so since you want to stay here, you must seek some benefits for your family as much as possible.
Now Gao Quan was extremely excited when he heard that Ning Xiaofan actually said that he wanted him to be the county magistrate.
"Thank you, General Ning, for your cultivation. I, Gao Quan, will definitely live up to General Ning's high expectations. I will definitely serve as the county magistrate and protect Xincheng County for General Ning."
Chen De's face was full of shock at this moment. Obviously, he never expected that Ning Xiaofan would actually jerk him off.
I had just become the county magistrate, and I had not yet formally exercised my powers as the county magistrate. In the blink of an eye, I was no longer the county magistrate. My dream of becoming a local emperor was completely over before it even started.
But Chen De himself had already said so much just now, so he couldn't say anything else at all. If he didn't listen to Ning Xiaofan now, it would be tantamount to confronting Ning Xiaofan. Obviously, confronting Ning Xiaofan would not be easy.
One thing, Chen De would never dare to do.
"Listen...obey General Ning's orders!"
"Since County Magistrate Chen agrees, Gao Quan will be the deputy magistrate of Xincheng County from now on. From now on, Gao Quan, you will work with Magistrate Chen to build the entire Xincheng County into a wealthy county."
As soon as Ning Xiaofan said these words, Chen De, Gao Quan and everyone present were stunned.
Doesn't this mean that Gao Quan will be the county magistrate?
Why now...
There were only two people present with faint smiles on their faces, it was Jin Chanzi and Lu Wen!
