Du Qi allowed the people to shout. After a while, the people quieted down again. When everyone stopped talking, Du Qi continued, "In the Xia of Xia, there will be no more instances of the Ming Kingdom oppressing the people. Perhaps there will always be people who take risks, but I hope that the people will remember one thing, that is to not be afraid of evil, and to fight evil to the end. "
"Because I am on your side."
"If you encounter any problems, you can go to the county office to complain. If the county office does not work, you can go to the governor's office. If the governor's office does not work, you can come to me to complain. I will set up a drum outside the county office and the governor's office for the people to complain. "
"If the people beat the drum, the government cannot ignore it. It must be dealt with."
"If it is not dealt with, it will be seen as dereliction of duty, and it will be seen as inaction. I will punish it."
Du Qi's voice was deep and loud as he continued, "Besides that, I will arrange for people to monitor and understand the local movements. I will try my best to prevent local corruption. In short, the imperial court will do its best to let the people live a good life and create a better future for them. "
"Long live Emperor Xia!"
Among the crowd, there were shopkeepers who cheered.
For these grain merchants, Du Qi's words were enough to keep them alive.
Wang Liang would not break the law again.
They would not be suppressed.
"Long live Emperor Xia!"
"Long live Emperor Xia!"
…
More and more people joined in, and they were all shouting. Their voices became louder and louder, and gradually, they became uniform. Everyone was very excited because Du Qi was on their side.
Du Qi wanted to let the people live a good life.
At this time, there were soldiers escorting the rest of the people who were involved in the grain trafficking.
Everyone's face was ashen.
Everyone looked terrified.
The sale of grain in the granary, especially old grain, was a normal thing. The only abnormal thing was that Wang Liang did not allow the rest of the merchants to sell other kinds of grain. Even if you wanted to sell, you could only buy old grain from the granary.
This was what everyone was angry about.
Du Qi looked at everyone and ordered, "Everyone, kill them all. Don't leave a single one alive. In my Xia Xia, the salary is very high and the treatment is not bad. Under such circumstances, if you don't stop and continue to plunder, you will be killed. "
Zhao Tianxin immediately ordered.
The soldiers immediately attacked, and their blades slashed out, slicing the necks of the soldiers one after another.
In a short period of time, everyone involved in the case was killed.
Not a single one was left behind.
When Du Qi saw this scene, he said again, "This matter ends here. The grain in the granary will continue to be sold, but the price will definitely be lower. After all, there are some problems. Everyone who was supposed to sell grain should do their own business. You merchants, and even the rest of the common people, no matter who you are, as long as you encounter a problem, you should boldly seek justice without any scruples. "
"Alright, everyone has their own matters to attend to. Let's disperse."
Du Qi waved his hand.
Everyone then left.
The official road outside the governor's residence gradually emptied and returned to its original tranquility.
Du Qi brought Zhao Tianxin back to the residence.
They sat down in the hall.
However, Zhao Tianxin looked solemn and said, "Your Highness, I have failed in my duty. Please punish me."
Du Qi waved his hand and said, "Sit down. You don't know about Wang Liang. Not to mention, there are a lot of things to do during this period of time. You've also been very busy. There is a needle at the top and a thousand threads at the bottom. As the governor, many policies are just a matter of a word from you. However, when you go to the local area, there may be such and such things. Therefore, it is normal for such a situation to happen. What you need to do is to supervise the local area as much as possible and put an end to local problems. "
Zhao Tianxin said, "I will do my best."
He was quite glad.
He was glad that Du Qi was here to deal with this matter today. Once the matter blew up and the people were angry, it would not be as easy to deal with it like today.
At that time, he would definitely be affected. That was inevitable.
Du Qi continued, "You are an old hand in governing the local area. You have ample experience and your own ideas. Therefore, I will not say much about many things. However, when it comes to this matter, I still have to say a few words. "
Zhao Tianxin said, "Your Highness, please speak."
Du Qi said, "Government affairs do need to be handled in the governor's residence. However, if you want to keep your ears and eyes sharp, you must do research and understand the local situation. If everything is done in the governor's residence, it can be done. Then, the world's affairs will be simple. Because things are complicated, you need to understand more and understand more. When you have nothing to do, walk around and take a look. Only then can you see the real situation of the local area. "
Zhao Tianxin said, "I will remember!"
He remembered Du Qi's words in his heart, because they were true pointers. If Du Qi had not been strolling around the city today, the grain sale would have caused a lot of trouble.
Du Qi got up and said, "Alright, I will leave the government affairs to you. I will take my leave."
"I will see you off, Your Highness!"
Zhao Tianxin hurriedly got up as well.
Du Qi waved his hand and said, "No need. Go about your business."
With that, Du Qi left with Mordor.
After Du Qi left the governor's residence, he continued to stroll around the city with Mordor. After all, in the current Hongshan County, he rarely came to take a look around.
Du Qi walked around the city and decided to leave the county to walk around outside the city.
Right now, they were still busy with farming.
Everywhere, he could see busy people. Everywhere, he could see green mountains and clear waters.
It was not a barren place.
This was what Du Qi wanted to see.
Du Qi strolled around outside the city. In fact, he was still thinking about how to develop the Xia Xia. The current Xia Xia was still far from enough. It had only built a framework. This situation was definitely not appropriate.
Du Qi often went out to do research. Time passed day by day.
In the blink of an eye, it was already September in the second half of the year.
The autumn weather was refreshing.
The weather gradually turned cold.
It had been two or three years since Du Qi had come to Great Qin. In fact, Du Qi would sometimes miss his family. After all, his wife and children were in the Tang dynasty. He naturally missed them.
However, Du Qi was still developing.
Now, the entire Xia Xia had been adjusted. Even the development of the local areas was flourishing with each passing day. Everything was flourishing.
This was the benefit that Du Qi had brought to the people.
If not for this, it would not have been able to develop so quickly. It would not have been possible for the people to benefit.
After Du Qi developed the local areas, he was still not satisfied with the development of the Xia Xia. The government and military were not bad. However, this kind of development was only a framework. It needed more flesh and blood.
This flesh and blood could not be developed in a short period of time.
In terms of culture, foundation, and other aspects, this was the real flesh and blood.
On this day, when Du Qi was dealing with government affairs in the Hongshan County palace, a soldier came to the palace and reported, "Your Majesty, there is someone outside the palace. He says that he is Your Majesty's subject, Wang Ji. He is here to see you."
The current Du Qi had moved the capital city once more for ease of war and dispatch.
He had moved to Hongshan County.
Therefore, Jin Wuque and the others had all moved to Hongshan County. This way, they could deal with the Fire Nation and the Southern Nation.
Nothing would go wrong.
When Du Qi heard the soldier's report, he was shocked.
Wang Ji was here.
One had to know that Wang Ji was doing things in the country. Why was he in North America?
What was going on?
Du Qi ordered, "Invite him in."
"Yes!"
The soldier turned around to pass on the order.
Not long after, hurried footsteps could be heard from outside the palace. A thin, white-haired old man walked in.
The person who came was Wang Ji.
The current Wang Ji was already over fifty years old. Previously, he was the Chancellor in charge of the Imperial College in the Xia Xia. He had a noble status and was a big shot in the imperial court.
With such a status, he had suddenly come to Du Qi.
Wang Ji stood still and said, "Your subject, Wang Ji, greets Your Majesty."
Du Qi said, "Have a seat!"
After Wang Ji sat down, he said solemnly, "Your Majesty, your subject came to the Great Qin under His Majesty's orders. On one hand, your subject requested it. On the other hand, His Majesty considered that Your Majesty lacked talents. Therefore, after Jin Wuque came, this old subject also took the initiative to come here to help the Retired Emperor. "
When Du Qi heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief.
He was worried that there were problems in the country.
Now that there were no problems in the country, it was great.
Du Qi said, "Lord Wang, you don't have to call me Your Majesty. I have established the Xia Xia here in the Great Qin and call myself Emperor Xia. Therefore, you only need to call me Your Majesty. "
Wang Ji said, "Your subject obeys!"
After a pause, Wang Ji said, "Speaking of crossing the sea, it was really not easy. Although the journey was generally smooth, the sea stretched as far as the eye could see all day long. After a long time like this, I really couldn't stand it. Fortunately, I made it through. "
Du Qi said, "Sailing on the sea is like this. It is more tiring."
Wang Ji changed the topic and said, "Your Majesty, after your subject arrived, is there anything you need me to do?"
Du Qi said, "Coincidentally, there is something I need you to do."
Wang Ji perked up and said, "Your Majesty, please instruct me. Your subject is now a bag of old bones and doesn't have much ambition. As long as there is something to do and I can help Your Majesty, I will be satisfied. Don't think about anything else for now. "
Du Qi said, "Now, the imperial capital of the Xia Xia is set to be here. Although the Xia Xia has been established, and even the military and government systems have been set up, the system for nurturing talents is too far away. Therefore, when Lord Wang came, you helped me establish a university and be in charge of teaching. Then, you started the imperial examinations and set up the imperial examinations system. Just these two things alone are not something that can be done in a day and night. It will probably require Lord Wang's lifetime of effort. After all, everything here is done with nothing. Everything has to be started from scratch, and there is no foundation to be built upon. "
Wang Ji was not afraid at all. He said excitedly, "This is a good thing. With something to do, your subject is satisfied. As for the universities and academies in various places, your subject will set them up. As for the imperial examinations system, it will be postponed for now. In a year or two, when academies flourish and universities are established, it will not be too late to start the imperial examinations. "
Du Qi said with a smile, "Lord Wang, you can make the arrangements as you see fit. I am not worried. Now that Lord Wang has come to the Xia Xia, you are also temporarily the chancellor. In fact, most of the six departments under my command, as well as the other departments, are vacant. Now, there are few people who have not been appointed yet. Lord Wang's arrival has filled in the gap. "
Wang Ji said, "Your subject will work hard."
After a pause, Wang Ji continued, "Your Majesty, I reckon that there will be more people coming later. However, those who come should be the older generation. After all, the Xia Xia is constantly expanding and talents are constantly emerging. Therefore, the older generation is gradually giving way to the younger generation. This way, there will be more people coming. "
Du Qi said with a smile, "For the development of the country, as long as everything progresses steadily and steadily, it will be excellent."
Wang Ji said, "Although His Majesty is young, he is extremely experienced in handling government affairs. He is not bad at all. In terms of talent, His Majesty is actually not inferior to Your Majesty. "
After hearing this, Du Qi immediately laughed.
He was very proud.
Wasn't praising his son the same as praising him, the father?
Du Qi said, "Lord Wang, did you come alone?"
Wang Ji shook his head and said, "Of course not. This time, your subject has also transferred many people from the Imperial College and the Xia Military Academy. This group of people are the best of the younger generation. Your Majesty knows two of the most outstanding people. "
Du Qi asked, "Who?"
Wang Ji said, "Di Renjie and Wu Zetian are the two most outstanding people, one male and one female. Even the little girl Wu Zetian is not simple. She is not inferior to men. Whether it is martial arts or ability, she is the best. Wu Zetian is about the same age, 17 or 18 years old. As for Di Renjie, he is slightly younger, only 14 or 15 years old. However, he is also quite a monster. They took the initiative to volunteer, so your subject agreed. "
Du Qi laughed and said, "This is a good thing."
As for Wu Zetian and Di Renjie, Du Qi had high hopes for them. After all, they were both famous quests in history. Now that they were in the North American region, it was to establish a foundation in a new place.
Du Qi said, "They will assist you, Lord Wang. I hope that they can become the foundation of our Xia Xia in the Great Qin region, so that Xia Xia's foundation can be firmly established here."
Wang Ji looked solemn and said, "We will not disappoint Your Majesty."
Du Qi nodded and asked about various things in the country. The two of them chatted and were quite relaxed. After all, they had not seen each other for many years, and now there was a lot to talk about.
