"Sir, there is news from Jiangling County that the construction of the governor's mansion is about to be completed. The county magistrates and people from the county magistrates who have been dispatched from the four counties have also arrived one after another."
The city of Ximi, the land of Yunxi, is where Zhou Qing stayed for several days. This place is not far from where the mirage was built. The surrounding terrain is not very complicated. There are no undulating mountains. Instead, it is a swamp with many dense forests.
A little more.
This place has been under the jurisdiction of the Qin State for only a few decades. It is not far from the Chu State and serves as a strategic buffer. Therefore, there are not many common people living here.
Of course, there have been some changes in recent years. Compared with Qianzhong County, Shu County has a unique terrain and is not suitable for farming. However, new and fertile farmland is constantly being reclaimed here.
As for the reason, there is an internal problem in the Chu State. Shouchun has too much time to take care of itself, so how can it have enough power to exert a great influence here? Even if the King of Chu wants to take action, the old families in the Dongting area may not be willing.
.
The city of Yunxi is said to be a city, but a low city with a radius of less than two miles. It is the most dilapidated city that Zhou Qing has seen in the Qin Kingdom. Sitting quietly in the temporary place, not far away, the eldest son of the Yin Yang family
Si Mingjingshi.
At this time, the simple truth fell into place and everyone was allowed to realize it. Qian Hong came forward and said the news from Jiangling. He counted on his fingers and found that it had been almost a month since he left Jiangling.
"Well, write them back and I will return to Jiangling."
I came here just to take a look at the construction of the mirage and understand some things.
He also understood a lot of the Yin Yang family's plans. As for other things, Zhou Qing didn't care about them. Under the absolute suppression, everything was false. He waved with one hand and it was time to return.
Bai Qianhong showed off her head and nodded lightly.
"Xiao Yi, the "Nine Palaces and Ten Thousand Transformations" you have cultivated over the past few days should have brought you one step closer to enlightenment. Within a few years, you are expected to transform into a god. You should practice hard. Although the mirage is heavy, you can't help much."
Following the previous words, Zhou Qing turned his gaze to the purple-clothed girl standing quietly on the right hand side, transforming into a thousand-leaf flying flower. She was calm and elegant, standing as tall as an orchid. Although she could not speak, she looked even more aloof.
The words fell and nodded to it.
Practicing by his side can be regarded as a lot of guidance. Maybe there are some truths in the inheritance of Shao Siming's lineage, but... Now, Zhou Qing thought to himself, what he has learned is no weaker than that of Shao Siming's lineage.
"Yes, senior."
With ethereal and crisp words, he pinched the yin and yang seals with both hands, and the vision of Qiulan on the ground disappeared, and he bowed down.
"The yin and yang combined qi mudra you practiced was originally taught by Dongjun in Xianyang. This method is extremely powerful. Unless it is controlled by strong internal force, it will damage the internal organs."
"Next, you only need to follow my instructions and deflect the path of this method by one or two, so that the yin and yang rebellious energy will not appear. This method is just like nature, and it can also consolidate your innate foundation and help you reach the goal faster.
Become a god."
His eyes fell on a figure next to Xiaoyi, wearing a bright red long skirt that covered her body. Her figure was graceful and graceful, her eyebrows were very delicate, and her exposed hands were still as red as ink.
The silver mysterious pattern is looming, and the inner force is driving it, and it is a mixture of strands of intertwined power of yin and yang. It is extremely powerful, but... forced cultivation at the innate level, it is difficult to stabilize the yin and yang qi.
"Thank you so much, Marquis Wu Zhen!"
Da Siming was equally delighted. The yin and yang combined qi mudra was taught to him by Xianyang's contribution back then, His Excellency Dongjun. It has great power, but the side effects are not small. He originally planned to slowly practice it after his cultivation reached the state of transformation.
Get rid of the messy yin and yang energy in your hands.
But... I didn't expect that the remaining disadvantages of practicing Yin Yang Heqi mudra would actually make the road to spiritual transformation more demanding. Now that I have received the guidance of Marquis Wu Zhen, I have benefited a lot from my initial practice.
If we continue, we will not only be able to eliminate such hidden dangers at the innate level, but we will also be able to transform into gods. Wouldn't it be a great blessing?
With Marquis Wu Zhen's current level of cultivation, I am afraid that within the Yin Yang family, only His Excellency Dong Huang can do it.
"Go ahead."
Zhou Qing smiled slightly.
Immediately, the two of them looked at each other, and a faint mysterious light flickered around them, moving and disappearing as they stepped.
Early the next morning, without any complicated etiquette, a group of people drove their horses to the ferry ten miles away, took a merchant ship upstream, and headed directly to Jiangling City, hundreds of miles away.
In one month, Jiangling City will not change much, but... for the upper echelons of Jiangling City, this change has become more and more obvious. The central minister Wu Zhenhou is in charge of the important affairs of the four counties, and Nan County is among them.
Inside.
The place of control and governor's place has been built in Nancheng, and all the needed people have been dispatched from the four counties. Not surprisingly, in the next few years, it will become the core of Nanjun.
It became the core place of the four counties of Nanjun, Qianzhong County, Bajun and Shujun.
"Sir, is there anything else that needs to be improved here?"
In the Nancheng area of Jiangling, Zhou Qing had already read the blueprints when he left last time. According to the ritual hierarchy of the Qin Dynasty, as a Marquis of Wuzhen and in charge of the important affairs of four counties, the specifications of his mansion were naturally much higher than those of a county governor.
Returning here, his spiritual sense spreads, and he can sense everything in the mansion carefully. Yun Shu and others are accompanying him, holding the drawings of the mansion in their hands. Generally speaking, everything has been completed. The specific details still depend on what the young master says.
"It's okay. Everything is according to the drawings and has not been changed. It's very good."
After counting, Zhou Qing nodded. When the blueprint was finalized, he was also involved. All he had to do was follow the steps. There was no need for luxury or complexity. He wouldn't be able to stay here for long.
"Summer is coming, so transplant more green plants in the mansion."
"Well, they came quite quickly."
Spring has passed for a long time, and now the sky and earth in the sky are already feeling hot at noon. There is no problem with the structure of the mansion, but everything looks bare and lacks a trace of vitality.
As he finished speaking, his spiritual sense moved slightly, and his body turned to look at the entrance of the mansion, where...Ye Teng and his party quietly appeared.
"Wu Zhenhou!"
"Wu Zhenhou!"
"..."
After half a stick of incense, in the front hall, everyone headed by Ye Teng arrived and bowed one after another as they approached.
"No need for that, sit down!"
Zhou Qing sat casually at the top, while Yun Shu knelt and dressed beside him. He looked at Ye Teng, smiled slightly, and glanced at the other people one by one. Many of them were unfamiliar faces, and they should have come from the other three counties.
.
"Here."
"..."
Everyone heard the sound and took their places. The main hall of the Governor's Mansion, which was large in Nuozhou, accommodated ten or twenty people. It was still relaxed and casual. The maid jumped out and brought out tea and snacks.
"grown ups."
At that moment, Bai Qianhong, who was dressed in a light red outfit, walked out from the side of the hall. With a bow, she entered the diagonal table on Zhou Qing's right hand side, where a thick stack of papers was already placed.
"At the end of the last year, I was favored by your Majesty and was given the title of General-in-Chief to supervise the important affairs of the four counties."
"Due to my personal affairs, I have put this important task on hold for several months. Now... the construction of the Governor's Mansion has been completed, and it is time to start. Except for the Nan County Supervisor and a few others, I don't know much about your identities.
"
"But... the governors of the four counties can recommend you to come here. I think there is something good about you waiting. Qianhong, I'll leave the rest to you."
Facing everyone's gaze, Zhou Qing slowly stood up from behind the desk, stopped everyone's attempts to stand up with one hand, and pointed at Bai Qianhong with one hand as he spoke.
In the mansion, Qian Hong is supposed to be Sasuke's man. This trip to Ghost Valley will make great progress, and he will be able to show what he has learned.
In order to supervise the four counties' important affairs, if he had to do everything personally, Zhou Qing felt that he really couldn't do it.
"Yes, sir."
Bai Qianhong stood up and bowed.
Everyone in the hall was surprised when they saw this.
In the past month, the county guards did not dare to despise the documents delivered by Marquis Wu Zhen from Jiangling. As an important minister of the Qin court, he did not know the situation of the central government. If we talk about important ministers, there are many central officials.
But he is the only one who is as favored as Marquis Wu Zhen, let alone the general overseer of the important affairs of the four counties. He is the only one who has held such important responsibilities after the Qin Dynasty's reform for more than a hundred years, especially after the counties.
Recommended by the Governor, I came here with a plan... Naturally, I want a future. Being able to experience all kinds of things in the Governor's Mansion under Wu Zhenhou is definitely a fast track for promotion. I just don't know how Wu Zhenhou wants to rectify the four counties.
.
The purple light around Zhenhou Guanwu flashed and he disappeared into the hall. Everyone looked at each other and unconsciously looked at the woman in red. She... they didn't recognize her.
"Governor Ye Teng, let's meet again."
Bai Qianhong came out of her desk, stood beside her boss, looked at the people in the hall, and focused on Ye Teng.
A few years ago, during the Nanyang Rebellion, I had dealings with this person due to the Baiyue Tianze incident. Afterwards, this person offered the land of Nanyang and was recommended by the Lord as a surrender, so the King of Qin paid attention to it.
First, he was granted the title of internal historian, and then he was appointed as the governor of Nanyang. Now he is appointed as the governor of Nanjun. It seems that the position and power are not as powerful as those of the Nanyang governor, but... with your Lordship's Governor's Mansion on the side, in a few years, I am afraid that he will directly enter the center.
Of course, this person's civil and military knowledge is enough to enter the center.
"Miss Qianhong!"
Ye Teng stood up and bowed his hands, with a smile on his face.
After a few years, I never expected to see Miss Qianhong here again. She is a woman with unrivaled talents and talents. It is said that she has been staying with Marquis Wuzhen for training, military attack on Zhao, and Longxi's quelling the chaos.
Now, it should be even more impressive.
******
"how?"
Two days later, Zhou Qingzheng was leisurely sipping tea in the courtyard behind the Governor's Mansion. He had already glimpsed the wonders of Hedao. The mysterious power in his body was slowly changing, and so was the mystery of his spiritual sense. The wonders between heaven and earth were rolling in.
If you don't worry about your cultivation, then... there will be nothing for Zhou Qing to worry about.
Inside the pavilion, there was a velvet carpet, and Xue Ji was preparing a fragrant wine on one side. A trace of cold air surged around her body, and a sapphire blue mysterious light spread. Several coral wine bottles were placed on the table in front of her, and the jade liquid was shaking inside.
Gan Qianhong walked in and Zhou Qing whispered.
"Sir, there are a total of twenty-five people from the four counties. From the Nanjun, Nanyang Governor Ye Teng is on the list, and the other twenty-four are also available!"
"In the past two days, with the copies of the civil registers of the four counties they brought, we have a rough grasp of the situation in the four counties. I am afraid that the map will have to wait for several months."
Wearing a pink butterfly skirt, long boots, her hair combed with auspicious clouds, and her eyebrows delicate and picturesque, she knelt down and said a word when asked. In the past two days, she had learned a lot about the situation in the four counties.
Although it is not very detailed, it is enough.
If you want to rectify the important affairs of the four counties, you must at least have a sufficient understanding of the information of the four counties. There is not much information here in Nanjun. Jiangling City is the capital of Nanjun, and the other three counties are slightly worse.
However, among the other three counties, none of them is inferior to Nan County in terms of area and population. Therefore, there are a lot of requirements, and it will take a long time to continue to understand it in depth.
"Um."
"From now on, there will be a political hall and a gate hall in the governor's palace. The political hall will assist me in handling the important affairs of the four counties. With you as the leader, there will be five important officials who will be informed of the political affairs. The rest will be incorporated into the gate hall to understand the four counties.
Important matters for my advisor."
Zhou Qing nodded. Dealing with the important affairs of the four counties is not about treating guests to dinner. Everything cannot be rushed. Now that the general situation is understood, it is time for the Governor's Mansion to get on the right track.
"Government Hall?"
"This... Sir, who can enter?"
Bai Qianhong was a little hesitant. She had no objection to your Excellency setting up a political hall in the Governor's Palace. Until now, your Excellency has only been responsible for the general direction in handling important military and political affairs.
The same should be true for the Government Hall. Five people are involved in government affairs. This... I'm afraid it's not simple. If nothing else, the Government Hall is the core of the Governor's Mansion, and more than 20 people from the four counties will also look forward to it.
"Simple."
"Give me the order and ask them to submit a policy statement for each of the four counties in seven days, describing their respective plans. The best ones will enter the political affairs hall, and the rest will naturally enter the hall."
Before knowing their specific abilities, Zhou Qing felt that the methods of recruiting talents over the years were quite useful. Moreover, it was impossible for them to be recommended to him without any ability.
"Qianhong, your burden is a little heavier. You have to personally hold the plans for the Yunxi Land in your hands."
"It won't be long before the summer harvest begins. In this case, I can just wait for the map work of the four counties. The map work can be slowed down, but the construction of the crisscrossing roads between the four counties cannot be slowed down."
"In addition, I have to personally write to Xianyang and ask the Datian Order to send special personnel to guide the four counties on water conservancy, and ask the king to provide some convenience to the four counties."
Following his previous words, Zhou Qing had another smile on his face. Since he was ready to do things well, he would try to do them well. Even though a few years would not be enough to fully develop the four counties.
But leaving a solid foundation behind, Zhou Qing felt it was no problem.
"Sir, there is an urgent document coming from Xianyang!"
Bai Qianhong listened quietly. Over the years, although she has been following the adults and wanted to learn more from them, she felt that she would gain new insights every time.
Hearing the Lord's instructions, he responded without hesitation. Just as he was about to speak, a sea-blue mysterious light flashed straight through the courtyard. Before anyone arrived, the message had already been heard.
"Xianyang?"
"Could it be that... things have already happened?"
With a wave of his hand, something flew out from the person whose whole body was covered with sea-blue mysterious light, and turned into a secret letter branded with fire clay.
Just take it apart, hold it with both hands, and take a look at its contents.
After ten breaths, Zhou Qing's eyes slowly narrowed.
