Chapter 1674 Governor of Nanxia

Zhang Cuihua is very strong-willed by nature, and she will definitely not be willing to be idle.

After communicating and taking Zhang Cuihua's own opinions into full consideration, Jiang Wang arranged her to work at Desheng Commercial Bank, where she started her training as an ordinary teller.

His original intention was to let Zhang Cuihua return to the Marquis' Mansion to be the second housekeeper after she had some experience and growth in Desheng Commercial Bank.

In the future, Xie Ping will be responsible for welcoming and seeing off guests, socializing, and external affairs of the Marquis' Mansion.

Zhang Cuihua will be responsible for the internal affairs of the Marquis' Mansion.

Most wealthy families have several housekeepers.

Wu'an Marquis' Mansion is now also one of the most famous families in Linzi City. If Jiang Wang had not made few friends, Xie Ping would have died of exhaustion.

Of course, if Zhang Cuihua is happy in the business, it doesn't matter if she continues to develop in the business in the future, as long as she likes.

As for the new apprentice Chu Yao, Jiang Wang has also made serious considerations.

Since he brought Zhang Cuihua and Chu Yao to Linzi, he wanted to treat them sincerely, not just to give himself psychological comfort.

With his current status and position, he could give away a lot of money, a mansion, and a single order to let the mayor of Tiannan City praise Chu Yao as a star in the sky and take care of them for the rest of their lives.

These are not difficult, and no one can gossip.

But he chose the most thoughtful way.

Chu Mi hoped until his death that he would meet a young man who was fearless and could easily turn over his trump card, call out two or three contemporary real people to kill all around, and take him away from the dead. Unfortunately, he met a young man who, like him, could only risk his life.

But Chu Yao might be able to realize his wish.

The road to transcendence cannot be achieved overnight.

Even with the meridian-opening pill, it is not necessarily possible to open the meridians successfully.

It requires both a certain amount of talent and careful physical training. For example, Zhang Cuihua once swallowed the Qi-opening pill, but she didn't become extraordinary.

Chu Yao is nine years old this year, so it's not too late for him to start practicing.

Jiang An'an opened his Qi early, so he was sent to Lingxiao Pavilion early, and received the most professional training, with the contemporary real person Ye Lingxiao personally checking. And now he hasn't established the small Zhoutian yet.

For example, artistic conception and imagery are not born out of thin air, and they need a certain level of perception.

So Jiang An'an's main task now is to read and practice calligraphy, and accumulate basic knowledge.

Chu Yao must also read first, and practice martial arts and polish his body.

The issue of reading is easy to solve.

In addition to the Jixia Academy, all the schools in Linzi can be chosen.

But before that, Jiang Wang decided to take Chu Yao out for a long journey to let him broaden his horizons. Then let the child decide for himself what he likes and what he wants to learn.

The target is of course Xiadi.

Lian Que and Dugu Xiao, one arrived in Linzi at noon and the other in the afternoon.

As early as the morning, Chong Xuanzun passed by the house and took Chong Xuansheng away.

Jiang Wang later told Fourteen that he was not awake and did not mean to not help Ah Pang.

Then he took a bull cart and left Linzi with his men.

The bull was the sacred bull sent by Helian Yunyun, and the cart was Chong Xuansheng's special car. It was spacious enough to accommodate more than ten people.

There were only three people on the way to Chitan, Lian Que, Dugu Xiao, and Chu Yao.

A war between Qi and Xia completely overturned the country of Xia, and the long journey of thousands of miles from Qi to Xia was completely opened up. Although the countries along the way did not merge their land, they also offered their tributes and called themselves lords. After that, "there was no one who called himself the emperor except Qi."

Of course, they still had their ancestral temples and still had... beast nests.

Qi did not actually require tribute. Except for Zhao, which had to surrender, the countries in the Eastern Region, such as Chang, Yi, Xu, Rong, etc., were highly autonomous. Especially with the support of Dongwanggu, Shen State can even be said to be independent of the hegemony system in the East Region, and is not subject to conscription when Qi State fights.

It’s just that in order to consolidate the rule of such a large area of ​​Xia State, the road must be kept open. The Qi Emperor accepted the tributes of the countries along the way, but did not interfere with these small countries too much.

This is the most cost-effective way to maintain the influence of the hegemony, and it only needs to ensure the existing Kaimai Dan system.

The "conquest" during the Qi-Xia War has now been expanded. This road that runs from Qi to Xia and is full of conquest flags along the way is also called "Qi Straight Road".

From a legal point of view, no matter which country it passes through or which force it passes through, this road itself belongs to Qi State and can be called Qi land.

In this regard, the countries along the way have publicly acknowledged it in the tribute.

So now the entire territory of Qi State is actually Qi land and Xia land connected by a Qi Straight Road. Like a pair of carrying poles, it spans the two regions of the southeast.

This ox cart has no driver. Jiang Wang told it to keep going along the straight road under its feet, and it understood. It pulled the cart steadily.

In the huge carriage, Dugu Xiao closed his eyes and practiced seriously.

After Jiang Wang achieved the divine presence, the divine seal method brought her powerful feedback, which made her practice speed soar. Although it is still impossible to compare with a true genius, it is far better than the previous difficulties.

She knows Jiang Wang's efforts better than anyone else. She is also very strict with herself and never relaxes. In the past, when she could hardly see any progress, she practiced hard, not to mention that now she is making rapid progress. The big and small Zhoutian and the divine seal are constantly supporting her.

She cherishes the feeling of controlling her own destiny and enjoys practicing.

Being able to practice beside Jiang Wang, sitting so close to him, was like being in paradise.

Lian Que held Chang Xiangsi in his arms, took out a bunch of bottles and jars, took out various secret medicines, and washed and nourished the sword there.

The cultivation of a weapon forger will be greatly affected by the weapons he forged. The more famous the weapons he forged, the more helpful it will be to the practice of the weapon forger. This is quite similar to the official way.

The official way is a mixture of hundreds of schools, and perhaps it was originally a reference to weapon forging.

Among the weapons forged by Lian Que, the most famous one is of course Chang Xiangsi. He cares about this famous sword no less than Jiang Wang. The Killing Nail is also his work, but it is not famous. People only know about the Buzhou Wind, not the Killing Nail.

When will Chang Xiangsi be able to replace Fu Jun Sha Jiang in the list of famous weapons of Qi State? He, Lian Que, the great weapon forger, will be able to make rapid progress.

In short, everyone is concentrating on doing their own things.

Except for Chu Yao who ran back and forth in the carriage for dozens of times.

Perhaps running back and forth is his "concentration".

He has grown up so much, and his father has carried him to travel far away when he was very young.

But he was too young at that time, and he has completely forgotten what the scene was like. He also doesn't remember what his father looks like.

His innocent and narrow memories have always been confined to Wayao Town.

The gray sky, the bricks and tiles piled up into a small mountain, the little friends running around with their butts naked, and the mother who loves him.

This time, not only did he leave the county, but now he has to go abroad, even leaving the East Region and going to the South Region!

He looked at everything outside the car window and felt very novel. Sometimes he talked to the cow, sometimes he talked to the sky, and from time to time he ran back and asked Jiang Wang some strange questions.

Jiang Wang practiced while responding in a random manner.

After just one day, the dark and thin Chu Yao was no longer afraid of strangers, and he had some of his father's cleverness. Of course, with so many questions in his mind, he only dared to ask Jiang Wang.

Although the sister named "Xiao Xiao" seemed very kind, he subconsciously didn't dare to get close to her. And Uncle Lian... looked really scary, like the kind of person who would eat children.

If it weren't for the master beside him, he would have run away long ago.

"Master, this white cow is so well-behaved, have you named it?" Chu Yao's slender eyes were full of eagerness to try.

I think he is also a genius in naming.

It's a pity that he came too late.

Jiang Wang didn't even raise his eyelids: "Give it a name."

"What is it?" Chu Yao asked curiously.

Jiang Wang said: "It's called 'White Cow'."

Chu Yao: ...

...

It was Cao Jie who conquered Xia Kingdom, and Li Zhengyan, Chongxuan Chu Liang, Chen Fu, and Xie Huaian led the army together.

But they all rested after the war.

The Dongji Army that retreated from the Gate of Ten Thousand Monsters and moved to Xia was the one who rested.

The commander of the Nine Soldiers, Shi Mingyun, was naturally in charge of the military affairs in Xia.

Xiuyuan, who failed to get the opportunity to attack Xia, was finally transferred to the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons with his prisoner army after being left on the bench by the emperor for nearly two years.

However, although Shi Mingyun was in Xia, it was not him who temporarily served as the "Governor of Southern Xia of the Great Qi Empire" and nominally commanded all affairs in Xia on behalf of the supreme will of the Great Qi Emperor.

It was Su Guanying, the court official.

Su Guanying was the only woman in the political hall, and she was always known as Qi Xiao in Qi.

As the saying goes, "Qi Xiao is good at martial arts, and Su Guanying is good at literature."

She wrote a good word and used a good knife.

Jiang Wang was not very familiar with either Shi Mingyun or Su Guanying.

In fact, Shi Mingyun once followed the order of the emperor and went to look for him in the Wuyandu Mountains with Wen Yanyu and others, so it could be considered that there was a relationship between them.

As for Su Guanying, there was no intersection before.

Before Jiang Wang was made a marquis, the two sides were not on the same level. Even if they were in Linzi, they saw different worlds.

His intersections with other court officials and the commanders of the Nine Soldiers were all coincidental, and they basically started to contact each other through the younger generation.

When the Qi-Xia war ended, he was made a marquis in one battle, and he was able to participate in the political affairs hall meeting. He was often called by the emperor to stand in the court, and had the opportunity to sit and discuss with the high-level officials of the empire, but Su Guanying was already stationed in Xia at that time.

Now the garrison of the entire Xia is mainly composed of 100,000 Dongji troops, supplemented by 200,000 county soldiers transferred from Qi, and 500,000 new troops mixed with Xia people.

Each prefecture only maintains the prefectural army to maintain public order, and the rest of the Xia army is all disbanded and retired.

The huge military expenditure cut was all used for construction.

The entire Xia officially entered a stage of recuperation.

During the entire Qi-Xia war, the Xia court first abandoned Fengjie, then abandoned the entire eastern line, and finally Anle Bo Si Cheng brought disaster to the world (the nominal culprit was Wu Wang Si Jiao), causing the people's hearts that Xia had cultivated for a thousand years to almost disappear overnight.

The Xia people sincerely loved their country and supported their king. They responded to the call of hundreds of people in the war of defending their country, but they were heartbroken by the Xia court.

"There are almost no people who miss the Si family anymore, and they will grit their teeth when they think of it."

And almost all the pillars of the Xia country, the dukes and marquises, died. The two powerful armies of Shenwu and Zhenguo were all crippled. Millions of government troops were driven back and forth on the land of Xia, and abandoned and abandoned...

In addition, Yu Liyang, the former King Min of Great Xia and the current Shangqing of Qi, mediated in the middle.

Qi's post-war rule over Xia was actually relatively easy. All the problems had been cleared in advance in the war.

Cao Jiushi fought a complete war to destroy the country.

Emperor Qi ordered a major overhaul of Emperor Xia Xiang's mausoleum and wrote a memorial in person, calling him the "Eternal Emperor." He was granted the title of Marquis of Anle and was succeeded by Si Cheng hereditary. The god was named "Nanxiang Jun" by imperial edict, respected as the guardian deity of the Xia region, offered incense, and encouraged the people of the Xia region to offer sacrifices.

He also pardoned all the civil and military officials of Xia Fang from their crimes, saying that "there is no guilt in defending the land."

He also exempted the Xia land from taxes for ten years so that the land could rest and the people could support themselves.

Such a lenient policy not only won the hearts of the people, but also greatly reduced the resistance of the people in Xia Di.

"To intimidate them, to suppress them with force, and to use leniency to help them." Su Guanying's twelve-character policy for southern Xinjiang has resulted in almost no major civil unrest in Xia since the end of the war.

Of course, small-scale resistance will always have its ups and downs, and that's normal.

In Su Guanying’s political philosophy, “It is like a pool of spring water, with a few ripples showing its vitality.”

This was something she acquiesced in and even condoned.

She surveyed the entire southern Xinjiang in this small-scale ups and downs without any threat. In the process of calming down the waves again and again, the identity of the people in Xia Di was strengthened and the "enemy" and "us" were separated.

Compared with the governance of Xia Di, what is more difficult to deal with is actually the relationship with Chu State.

Entering the Southern Territory, we have become close neighbors with the Overlord.

However, Qi State only sent two real people to guard Xia Di, which itself was an unintentional confrontational attitude. Qi State has no intention of making a voice in the Southern Territory, let alone challenging Chu State's hegemony in the Southern Territory. So it's quite peaceful now.

Chitan is an ancient and mysterious place located two hundred miles west of Guiyi City.

The Emperor of Qi conferred the title of Marquis Wu'an on Chitan because of Marquis Wu'an's achievements in suppressing floods. In the past, during the Dayan period, the disaster was controlled by the Lian family.

Now thousands of years have passed, the honors of the Dayan Lian family are no longer there, and Chitan is only a deserted ancient pool.

After Jiang Wang became a marquis, although he came to Xia Di, the construction of the mansion here had already begun. It is worth mentioning that the construction labor was not labor. All reconstruction work in Nanxia was paid for by the Nanxia Governor's Mansion.

It’s called “work-for-relief”.

Construction activities, including city walls, water conservancy, etc., themselves are making up for the wounds of the war. When people have jobs, food and clothing, they are less likely to cause chaos. The unified scheduling of large-scale projects can also help the people of Xia Dynasty get used to Qi Ting's rule as soon as possible.

Only half a year had passed. When Jiang Wang arrived in Xia Di again, the scene of blazing wars and shattered mountains and rivers seemed to have happened many years ago.

The bullock carts coming from Linzi swaggered through the city, and everywhere they saw it was a lively scene. The people you meet on the road don't say welcome, and rarely show any hostility.

Su Guanying's political ability is evident.

Daqi is full of talented people, and no one who can be listed in the Political Affairs Hall or the Military Affairs Hall is a free earner.

After the war, this was the first time Jiang Wang came to his fiefdom, and it was hard not to say hello to the Governor of Nanxia.

So Lianque and the others were asked to go to Chitan first, while he rode an ox cart alone into Guiyi and went straight to the Nanxia Governor's Mansion.

Faced with such a real feudal lord with a household of 3,000 households, the Governor's Office would certainly not neglect him.

Su Guanying even put aside a supervisory meeting and came to entertain Jiang Wang in person.

Seeing the crimson governor's uniform from a distance, Jiang Wang hurried forward: "How dare you trouble Su Governor to greet you?"

In terms of actual power, Su Guanying, who is now the governor of the Xia Kingdom, can almost be regarded as the most powerful frontier official in Qi State.

Before they met, Jiang Wang thought that Su Guanying should be the kind of heroic and heroic person who looked down on the wind and clouds like Jiang Wuyou. But after meeting her, I realized that she was quite soft-looking. Thin eyebrows and soft eyes, slender and soft.

He doesn't appear to be a powerful person, but rather weak.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, that feeling of weakness was instantly wiped away. She was still soft, but like clouds floating in the sky, and the world had to look up.

"The Marquis of Wu'an was granted a title in southern Xinjiang, but he has not returned for many months. The governor had prepared a fine cup of tea, but it boiled for several times and only the lingering fragrance remained. It's shocking!" She seemed to be smiling but not smiling, standing in the courtyard, as if she were in the courtyard. Beyond this world.

"Jiang is scared." Jiang Wang lowered his posture and said, "I can't help myself, and there are twists and turns. I heard about Su Du's name a long time ago, and I'm so lucky to see him today!"

Su Guanying smiled softly and said sideways: "Please!"
