"Now we can peer into the vacuum and get a glimpse of our true self."
"Thwart its sharpness, dissolve its confusion, harmonize its light, and become the same as its dust."
"The words of the ancestor have benefited me a lot to this day."
Zhou Qing didn’t know how long it had been.
Maybe it's a moment.
Maybe it was a long time ago.
However, once the truth is understood, it is understood.
The realm of vacuum!
There seems to be all the difference.
Open your eyes and everything will return to its original state.
I was still on the boat, and it was still raining heavily outside.
Xue'er and the others have fallen into spiritual practice.
"Brother!"
Xiao Meng felt this and quickly said something.
"Unintentional gain, grasp the vacuum."
"This rain...is almost done."
Seize the vacuum.
Grasp your true self.
Only then can you see everything in front of you more clearly, with your purple eyes looking into the void, your heart turning at will, and your spiritual sense passing through the void.
Russia.
As Zhou Qing finished speaking, with the boat beneath him as the center, the dark clouds were melted away by an invisible force, the rain ceased, and the sunshine reappeared.
After a hundred breaths, a curved rainbow appeared above Zhenze.
"Senior brother, we are closer to integrating with all things."
A gift from Xiaomeng.
I'm happy for my brother.
"Being integrated into all things?"
"That realm may be beyond your expectation."
Zhou Qing smiled.
Integrate everything.
Warriors from various schools of thought all know the state of integrating the body with all things.
However, they don't know what it means to be one with all things.
I don’t know either.
Because those who have reached that state have left no trace behind.
Now that we grasp the vacuum, we are indeed closer to integrating our body with all things.
A little closer.
Just see it more clearly.
"When I break into the Hedao, senior brother will discuss it with me in detail."
Xiaomeng didn't ask any further questions.
Now I am still in the void, far away from the vacuum.
…
…
Wu County!
The seat of Kuaiji County.
It's quite prosperous here.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu and Yue have been fighting for hegemony, and the Wuxian area has been the focus, and even the capital for a period of time. Needless to say, the background.
Cars and horses enter Wu County.
The county governor, county lieutenant, and county magistrate... all came to salute.
"I am the general governor of all counties in the south of the Yangtze River, including Kuaiji County."
"Wait..., some are from the old Qin, and some are from Kuaiji County, but no matter what, they are all from the Qin State."
"When I came here, I once asked why the taxes in Kuaiji County were not shown."
"Chief, can you answer my question?"
While walking in the hall, Zhou Qing looked at Ma Ye, the governor of Kuaiji County. He knew his identity and was the younger brother of Ma Xing, the former general in the army.
He had been in the army before, but later he accumulated military achievements. Although he was not as good as Ma Xing, he was not weaker, plus Wang Jian's face.
Among the forty-two county governors, there is this person.
The imperial brother saw him himself when he personally received forty-two county governors in Xianyang.
"……."
"Marquis, Kuaiji County is already rectifying all industries."
"Previously, Kuaiji County belonged to the Xiang clan of the Chu State. The government decrees were mixed and difficult to understand. In addition, in recent years, the Chu State has been in chaos and political confusion, making it even more difficult to collect taxes."
"There are remnants of aristocratic families here in Kuaiji County, and they don't pay a lot of taxes."
"Now, I have led the county magistrate and others to conduct gradual inspections. It is estimated that in five years, the taxes here in Kuaiji County will return to normal levels."
Ma Ye was startled.
Unexpectedly, the prince asked so straightforwardly, so he quickly came forward, bowed, and explained the reason.
Although Kuaiji County is rich and wealthy, it is also an easy place to manage.
The Chu State was defeated, but the area east of Jiangdong was not greatly affected, and even the original families in Kuaiji County were directly ups and downs.
Qin naturally took over Kuaiji County.
However, taking over Kuaiji County does not mean taking full control of Kuaiji County.
There are many remnant families in Kuaiji County. There are remnants of the families from the days when Wu and Yue were fighting for hegemony, and there are also some remnants of the families from the fall of Chu State.
There are also remnants of the aristocratic families that were previously attached to the Xiang clan. They received a lot of favor from the Xiang clan, and they obeyed and disobeyed the government orders that came to the county government.
I have been here as the governor of Kuaiji County for less than a year, and I have not yet fully controlled it. The problems mentioned by the county prince do exist.
I have been trying to solve it myself.
"Five years?"
"Give you a year!"
"After one year, I will inspect the tax situation of Kuaiji County."
Five years!
Zhou Qing smiled, looked at Ma Ye, and shook his head.
Too long.
"One year!"
"This..., Lord, it is indeed true. There will probably be chaos here in Kuaiji County."
Ma Ye's expression suddenly changed.
One year?
One year is too short.
Kuaiji County is very big here.
In a year, I can at most renovate some areas.
"So...someone here in Kuaiji County is disobeying Qin's law?"
confusion?
Sometimes, chaos is a good thing.
Zhou Qing glanced at Ma Ye and others.
"Junhou."
A gift from the horse industry.
The prince once sat in charge of Shu County and four other counties, so he should know many things better than himself.
The same is true here in Kuaiji County.
"If you think it can't be completed in one year, I can suggest to Xianyang that you find someone else to do it."
Sheriff!
There are many people in Da Qin who are willing to come and serve as county guards.
"Zhao Tuo has pacified the South China Sea and will be back in half a year. At that time, I will appoint him as the captain of Kuaiji County to assist you in this matter."
You are here to solve the problem yourself. If the horse industry feels that one year is difficult, then use more strength.
"……."
"Here!"
There is no need to talk too much about the horse industry.
One year.
I'm afraid it will be difficult.
…
…
We stayed in Wu County for three days, explained some things, and then took a boat directly to the south.
"Sir, there are many remnants of the various kingdoms in Wu County."
"The slave family has been wandering around the city these days, and the accents of those people are very obvious."
Yan Lingji felt that Kuaiji County must be vigorously rectified.
Staying with the young master for many years is not in vain.
"kill!"
"It's not the best way, but sometimes it's the most effective way."
"It will be much more difficult to leave Kuaiji County and go south to other counties."
Zhou Qing lay quietly in the cabin, left Wuxian, went directly south, passed Jinshan, passed by Quan, Shanyin, Zhuji... and headed south.
I didn’t make many stops in the county area here.
I have read their five-year plan, and as long as they expand step by step, it will be fine in five years.
Continue south, pass Wushang and Lishui, and arrive at Minzhong County.
The Yue Kingdom destroyed Wu. After Gou Jian's death, the Yue Kingdom was divided into different parts. This is the land of Min Yue. The great Qin army marched southward and conquered the Min Yue Kingdom.
Minzhong County was established.
Originally, the Central Committee decided that in order to maintain the stability of Minyue, Minzhong County would be named a Daqin County in name, but in fact it would continue to be controlled by the king of Minyue.
However, this opinion was refuted by Zhou Qing. Da Qin lacked officials, but it did not lack some officials in Minzhong County.
Therefore, the king of the Minyue Kingdom was directly moved to another area and the officials of the Qin Dynasty were in charge of this place.
Even if it is a jurisdiction, it is also a very extensive one.
The land of Minzhong County.
There are many mountains, no major roads, and tribes live there. There are few cities, the life is barbaric, the language is difficult to understand, and the customs are different.
It will take at least twenty years to transform it into Zhuxia.
The land of Dongzhi, where the administrative seat of Minzhong County is located.
Zhou Qing heard many complaints from the governors of Minzhong County. Even though he had all kinds of power, it was difficult to use it. It was difficult for Minzhong County to expand quickly.
"Sister Yan Ling, can you understand these Yue people's words?"
Xueer and his party were wandering around Dongzhi City.
I have to say that Dongzhi City here is really... barren, with almost no good things. It is not comparable to the ordinary county towns in Kuaiji County.
Not to mention compared with the rich cities in the Central Plains and Guanzhong.
Even the stores in these shopping malls have a sense of wilderness, very much like the two counties in Hexi, not to mention the strange remarks of the slightly strange-looking people around them.
"There are many tribes in Baiyue, how can I understand them?"
Yan Lingji rolled her eyes at Xue'er, wondering what kind of questions these were.
I have been away from Baiyue for decades. Although I understand some Baiyue language, it is not the same as here and I cannot understand it.
"This is the case even for the administrative offices of Minzhong County. You can get a full picture of the entire county."
Bai Qianhong also sighed.
Suddenly I felt that the transformation of Jiangnan in twenty years would be a difficult and difficult process.
This is still only Minzhong County and has not yet reached the South China Sea.
There is also the Five Plan of Minzhong County, which seems to be the most ordinary and ordinary among the counties in the south of the Yangtze River. Now I know why.
"Shaxi!"
"Minjiang!"
"Futun Creek!"
"..."
"It is difficult to build the main roads in Minzhong County, and it will not be possible to form a complete main road system in a short time, let alone Chidao."
"We can only rely on rivers to expand cities and counties on both sides of the river. As the number of people in Minzhong County increases, it will then spread to the entire Minzhong County."
"The mineral deposits here in Minzhong County are still good, but there is no need to mine them now."
"……."
Regarding the five-year plan of Minzhong County, Zhou Qing could not propose much.
It’s really hard to do it yourself if you don’t have what you want.
Of course, Minzhong County's first priority is to have children. With more people, everything will naturally get better.
From the east to the south, go south to the Jiulong River. The land of Yunxiao is the place where you enter the South China Sea. This place has been captured by Zhao Tuo and his troops.
The specific names of counties and counties in Xianyang have not been released yet.
If time passes by, it will be Nanhai County.
"Ren Xiao has met the Marquis of Wuzhen County!"
"Marquis of Wuzhen County!"
"..."
It seems that some people are better informed.
Ren Xiao!
The general who led the army from Jiangdong south to Ouyue is currently leading a hundred thousand troops to reorganize the entire South China Sea, and is now leading a fleet of ships to greet him at Meijiang River.
"Hahaha, no need to be polite."
"I have traveled all the way south from Kuaiji County in Jiangdong and traveled to various places. It is very good."
"When the entire Lingnan Baiyue is completely pacified, your years of hard work will be rewarded."
On the deck of the large ship, looking at the generals in front of him, Zhou Qing smiled and raised his hands, a wave of strength lifted them up.
The three-pronged army with 300,000 troops marched south. Thanks to the excellent preparations, there was no big loss. Moreover, with the completion of the Five Ridges Canal, the 300,000 troops had no worries.
The march was like a broken bamboo.
The land of Nanhai is much better than the Minzhong County where I stayed before.
