Not long after, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard.
A tall, slightly plump, middle-aged man with graying hair on his temples entered the room.
The middle-aged man was in his forties.
The moment he saw Du Qi, his expression became agitated. He knelt down on the ground and kowtowed, "This old subject, Jin Wu Que, pays his respects to Your Majesty."
Du Qi was also emotional. He waved his hand and said, "Rise."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Jin Wuque stood up.
He sized up Du Qi. When he saw that Du Qi was fine, he quickly said, "Since Your Majesty is fine, then Your Majesty can be at ease in Xia Xia."
Du Qi said, "I am now King. I have just established Xia Xia. You can call me Your Majesty."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Jin Wuque replied immediately.
Du Qi said, "Sit down and talk. There is no need to be so formal."
"Yes!"
Jin Wuque sat down again.
Du Qi said, "Why did you suddenly come to Great Qin?"
Speaking of which, Jin Wuque followed Du Qi and was one of the earliest doyens. In the past, he was also an important official in the court. He held the position of Imperial Censor and had great responsibilities.
Now that Jin Wuque came to Du Qi's side, Du Qi was also happy.
After all, they had known each other for many years.
They had a very good relationship.
They were both King and Minister and old friends.
Jin Wuque smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I came to Great Qin because of the Wo Nation. After Di Zhixun took office, he has been very stable. He has completely assimilated the Wo Nation and is gradually becoming a part of Great Xia.
"However, news from the Wo Nation has come back. His Majesty is also worried about Your Majesty's safety.
"So, he sent me here to take a look.
"Now that Your Majesty is governing Great Xia, everything is improving steadily. According to the five-year plan formulated by the imperial court, after a few more years, when the Da Xia Kingdom's national strength and technology have improved, the next step will be to make a move against the Roman Empire and the Arab Empire in the west. "
"However, everyone in the court is still worried about Your Majesty."
A smile hung on Jin Wuque's face as he said, "That's why I came to the Great Qin Empire. After all, I am in charge of the Censorate and am an Imperial Censor. Although this official position was important, there were still people who could take it over. The Imperial Court was discussing sending people to the Great Qin Empire, so this old official volunteered to come. "
"It is this old servant's fortune to be able to follow the King."
"In the past, when I was in the Tang dynasty, I followed the king to expand the territory. Now that I am in the Great Qin Empire, I am able to follow my King and expand Xia Xia's territory. This old subject's wish is enough. "
"So, Your Majesty, please let me stay."
Jin Wuque said solemnly, "Although I am not as capable as Shangguan Yi, Ma Zhou, and Minister Liu, I will do my best to live up to your expectations."
Du Qi stroked his beard and laughed, "Jin Wuque, you are underestimating yourself. I know what you're capable of. "
Not only did Jin Wuque have experience in managing the Censorate, but he also had experience.
Most importantly, he was also a businessman.
Du Qi had established a country in the Great Qin Empire. Although he controlled the army and stabilized the situation, his foundation was not solid enough. Especially when he lacked talents.
At this time, Jin Wuque's arrival was timely.
This was a good thing.
Du Qi said, "Old Jin, now that you are here, you will be the Minister of Revenue for the time being. Now that the Six Ministries have been established, there is no one to manage the Minister of Revenue. You are just right. "
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Jin Wuque immediately agreed.
His face was filled with a happy smile.
Now, he had something to do.
When working with Du Qi, his heart was full of enthusiasm.
Jin Wuque said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing that I almost forgot."
Du Qi said, "What is it?"
Jin Wuque reported, "I have arrived in the Great Qin Empire. Before I came, the Empress Dowager said that after I arrived and established myself, I would arrange for someone to return on a ship. Next, the Empress Dowager and Consort Dowager will also come to the Great Qin Empire. Now that His Majesty has stabilized the Imperial Court and has the support of the Imperial Court, there will be no problems. Therefore, the Empress Dowager and Consort Dowager will come to the Great Qin Empire. "
The Empress Dowager was Li Yanyun, and the Consort Dowager was Qianxue.
The two of them had always been in the Great Xia.
After all, although Du Ruhui was holding the fort, in reality, Li Yanyun and Qianxue were still needed.
Now that Du Qi had established himself, they wanted to accompany Du Qi.
Du Qi said, "Since you are here, arrange for someone to return and deliver the message."
"Yes!"
Jin Wuque immediately agreed.
Du Qi was also looking forward to it.
He was looking forward to Li Yanyun and Qianxue's arrival. After all, the two of them were Du Qi's women. Now that Du Qi had established himself, it was not appropriate to leave the two of them in the Great Xia.
Du Qi changed the topic and said, "Now that you are here, I will get Luo Binwang to bring you to meet the rest of the people in the Wang Residence. Once you are familiar with the rest, you can start to organize the government affairs. "
"Yes!"
Jin Wuque nodded and agreed.
Du Qi immediately called Luo Binwang over and introduced Jin Wuque's identity.
Although Luo Binwang had never met Jin Wuque, he knew about Jin Wuque's deeds. He knew that Jin Wuque was an old official who had followed Du Qi since the beginning.
Now that Jin Wuque was here, it could be seen that the Great Xia would continue to support him.
This was a good thing.
Luo Binwang took the initiative to bow and said, "Minister Jin, you are now in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. I look forward to your guidance in the future."
Jin Wuque said, "You are too polite. Let's learn from each other."
After the two of them got to know each other, Du Qi let the two of them go and familiarize themselves with the current situation.
With Jin Wuque as one of Du Qi's subordinates, things became much easier. After all, with Jin Wuque around, although he might be slightly weaker in terms of governance, he was much stronger.
In reality, he was only slightly weaker than people like Shangguan Yi and Ma Zhou.
However, he was still very experienced.
As the fourth month entered, the weather gradually became warmer.
The development of the entire Great Xia became more and more stable. This was especially so for Jin Wuque, who was familiar with business. This time, he had brought along some business people. With these people around, they were able to enter the Jingyang Army and Songyang County in a short period of time and capture businesses.
First, they had to establish a business system that belonged to the Great Xia.
After all, developing private businesses was not something that could be done overnight. First, they had to develop the country's businesses.
Then, they would develop them slowly.
With Jin Wuque around, these businesses developed rapidly.
On this day, Du Qi was writing a book in the backyard when Jin Wuque rushed into the room. After he stood still, he reported, "Your Majesty, I have received news that might cause unrest in the Great Xia."
Du Qi put down the brush in his hand and asked, "What's the matter?"
Jin Wuque said, "Someone is speculating in the grain of the Great Xia. This is because there is a group of merchants who came from outside the Great Xia with large quantities of grain. The arrival of these grains has caused the price of grain in the Great Xia, Songyang County and Jingyang County to fall rapidly. "
Du Qi's pupils constricted when he heard this. He said, "You mean that the other party is doing this on purpose? First, they bring in large quantities of grain so that we can only sell our grain cheaply. Then, they buy in large quantities. Finally, when the grain in the market decreases, they hoard the grain and sell it at a higher price? "
"Yes!"
Jin Wuque nodded and replied.
He said in a low voice, "I have just received news from the local authorities. It has already happened in our Great Pandu County. I believe that similar things are happening in other places as well."
Du Qi's gaze gradually turned cold and solemn.
This was not a small matter.
Grain was very important. Such an incident could cause the price of grain to collapse. It could even affect the lives of the people and cause instability in the region.
