Du Qi continued, "Many other aspects are actually related to Xia Xia. So, County Magistrate Zhou, you don't have to doubt this. "
There was a hint of curiosity and hope in Zhou Qing's eyes.
It was as if he had found the source.
He was even more curious about what Xia Xia looked like.
Zhou Qing said, "It would be great if I could go to Xia Country to take a look in my lifetime."
Du Qi said with a smile, "As long as County Magistrate Zhou is willing, it's fine."
Zhou Qing nodded and continued, "Mr. Du, I know about Xia Xia's origin and heritage. What kind of country is Xia Xia today? How big is the country, how many people are there, and how is the standard of living? "
Du Qi smiled and said, "The current Xia Country's territory should be similar to the Great Qin Empire's, and its area should be about the same. However, Xia Xia's territory is not like the northern part of the Great Qin, which is frozen for thousands of miles. Many areas are inaccessible. Although there are such areas in Xia Xia, Xia Xia has a large population and brilliant culture. "
"Xia Xia's strength is extremely powerful."
"The imperial court controls the army."
"Their control over the local areas is extremely strict. Moreover, Xia Xia's army is independent and does not participate in government affairs. They are only responsible for guarding the local areas. The entire Xia Xia's imperial court is thriving. "
Du Qi said, "Compared to the current Great Qin, Xia Xia's national strength is very strong. Because of this, King Pingyuan has only settled down on an island and has never gone to Xia Xia. I've talked to King Pingyuan. His plan should be to pay a visit to Emperor Xia Xia to improve the friendship between the two countries. "
Wang Tongtong was dead.
His corpse was nowhere to be found.
Now, Du Qi could say whatever he wanted, and no one could say anything about it.
After hearing this, Zhou Qing couldn't help but nod. Xia Xia's national strength was tyrannical. It was impossible to attack Xia Xia. Therefore, paying a visit to Xia Xia first was the most normal and most appropriate arrangement.
Zhou Qing asked: "Mr. Dean, what do you do in Xia Xia?"
Currently, Zhou Qing was still unaware of Du Qi's situation.
He had to get to the bottom of it.
He also wanted to figure out the purpose of Du Qi's visit.
Du Qi faintly smiled and said, "I'm Du Qi, a businessman from Xia Xia. Our main business is salt. "
Zhou Qing was surprised, "Mr. Dean is running the salt industry in Xia Xia. I'm afraid that ordinary people can't come into contact with this business. Mr. Dean, you are not simple in Xia Xia! "
Du Qi smiled and said, "You flatter me, County Magistrate Zhou. I only have some connections in Xia Xia. Therefore, he was able to operate the salt industry. Now that I've received some guidance from the Pingyuan King, I've come to Great Qin to try and open up a trade route. "
"Sigh …"
Zhou Qing sighed when he heard this.
Du Qi said, "County Magistrate Zhou, why are you sighing?"
Zhou Qing said seriously, "Mr. Dean, I've already said it just now. The current business environment in Great Qin is extremely bad. It's not easy for you to come to Great Qin to do business! Speaking of which, I don't really agree. Because the current business environment is really too bad. "
Du Qi smiled and said in a deep voice, "That's not a problem. People in business have encountered all kinds of situations. Some have encountered extremely bad situations, while others have encountered very good situations. No matter what the situation is, there are strategies to deal with it. "
When Zhou Qing heard this, he was filled with respect and said, "Mr. Dean is right."
He agreed with Du Qi's words.
People in business couldn't wait for pies to fall from the sky. They could only work hard. No matter what the situation was, they had to deal with it.
In other words, it was the same as being an official.
This was the same principle.
Zhou Qing said seriously, "Mr. Dean's words are like the morning bell and the evening drum that woke me up. Previously, when I governed Fushan County, I always thought that the overall situation was not good. The world was in chaos, and the place was not easy. Therefore, I just muddled along and did not care much. Now, it seems that I have neglected my management. A small county magistrate like me can't control the current situation of the world, but at least I can do my job well. "
Du Qi said, "County Magistrate Zhou, you're not simple to have such awareness! Many of the provincial governors of China might not be able to be like you. Actually, when people in the world do their jobs well, the world will be stable. As the saying goes, everyone has their own duties. "
Zhou Qing nodded.
He admired Du Qi even more.
He felt that Du Qi was a wise person and was worth interacting with.
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Mr. Dean is a wise person. When I saw Mr. Dean, I felt like we were old friends at first sight. Why don't Mr. Dean stay for dinner? How about we have a few drinks? "
Du Qi smiled and said, "Then I'll accept. Thank you for your hospitality, County Magistrate Zhou."
Zhou Qing said, "You're welcome."
He immediately led Du Qi out of the hall and to the side hall where they ate. He asked someone to prepare wine, meat, and other delicacies. He drank and chatted with Du Qi and asked about Xia Xia's situation.
This time, the questions were even more detailed.
From Xia Xia's political system to Xia Xia's national conditions, even the military and the people's livelihood, he learned about everything.
Du Qi answered them one by one.
Du Qi was also beating around the bush to understand the situation of the Great Qin.
The current Great Qin was in turmoil and there were many bandits. However, in reality, the Great Qin had not collapsed yet. The current Great Qin had at least temporarily maintained its stability on the surface.
The two of them drank three rounds and ate five dishes. The atmosphere was lively.
Du Qi smiled and said, "County Magistrate Zhou, I'm going to do business in Fushan County now. Therefore, I can only hope that County Magistrate Zhou will take care of me. "
Zhou Qing said, "Of course."
Zhou Qing took the opportunity and said, "If the business in Fushan County develops well, the taxes paid will be higher. I will also be able to rank among the top in the imperial court's examination. Therefore, I also hope that Mr. Du's business can develop well. "
Du Qi nodded and heaved a sigh of relief. Now that he had established a connection with Zhou Qing, it would be easy for him to establish a foothold in Fushan County. In that case, it would be easy for Du Qi to establish himself in Fushan County. It would not be a difficult task.
Next, Du Qi would be able to develop his strength one by one.
He would be able to swallow up Fushan County bit by bit.
Once he had complete control of Fushan County, Du Qi would be able to stir up a storm and even turn the entire Great Qin Empire upside down. At that time, Du Qi would be able to benefit from it and contribute to the destruction of Great Qin. He would also be able to strengthen the foundation of Xia Xia in Great Qin.
Du Qi and Zhou Qing talked about business. Later on, they talked about the shops involved in business, as well as the factories that were needed for business.
These needed money to pave the way.
Fortunately, Du Qi had money, so Du Qi was not worried about this.
Although Du Qi had handled Zhou Qing well and the relationship between the two of them was good. However, it was impossible for Zhou Qing to help Du Qi at all costs just by saying a few words. They had to settle the accounts.
They had to pay what they should pay.
They had to pay what they should pay.
Du Qi explained the general situation to Zhou Qing. Finally, after the matter was settled, the banquet was almost over.
Zhou Qing was a little drunk, but Du Qi was still sober.
After all, he could drink a lot.
Du Qi asked someone to send Zhou Qing to rest before he left with Luo Binwang.
