Liu Che led his troops and swept through various places. Time passed from February to late March. In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed, and the weather was getting warmer. Du Qi had been in Guang Yin County all this time.
During this period, good news about Liu Che kept coming back.
After all, it was not only Liu Che's troops who attacked the counties of Fire Nation, but also the forces of the big families led by Yu Fengyan, Xiang Chen, and Pan Xisheng. The people of the big families persuaded everywhere, causing more and more people to surrender to Xia Xia.
After all, there was a precedent, so it was reasonable for the rest to submit.
During this period of time, there were no conflicts with the Nan Nation. Even when they encountered the Nan Nation's army, the other party directly withdrew and didn't confront Liu Che directly. Therefore, by the beginning of the fourth month, the entire Fire Nation had been divided between the Nan Nation and the Xia Nation, and everything returned to normal.
Du Qi renamed Fire Nation to Fire Province and included it in Xia Xia's territory, making it a province of Xia Xia.
However, there was no governor of Fire Province.
It was temporarily vacant.
On this day, Du Qi called Luo Binwang over. He looked at Luo Binwang and said, "Now that Fire Province has stabilized, what do you suggest for the governor of Fire Province?"
Luo Binwang said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, I think Pan Jingyue is the most suitable candidate for the governor of Fire Province. Pan Jingyue is Pan Xisheng's eldest grandson. He is a man of many talents and has been a county magistrate for a long time. He is very good.
"Especially when he was governing, the people lived a stable life and the local officials were honest. Even when Pan Jingyue was in power, he took the initiative to avoid suspicion and did not let the Pan Family members participate in any matters that involved the Pan Family.
"Overall, he is a very good person.
"Although he has been a county magistrate before, he has been a county magistrate for more than ten years. It is clear that Pan Jingyue is a person with enough composure and can handle government affairs well. "
Luo Binwang continued, "Moreover, after Pan Jingyue is in power, the Pan Family's resources will naturally help him. What we need to do now is to stabilize the local government. We need to bring the local government under our command.
"Then, I'll make some adjustments."
"This is not something that can be done overnight, so let Pan Jingyue transition first and let him govern the place."
"Actually, in this humble one's opinion, I don't think there's anything strange about who governs the place. It's just a matter of choosing someone who can govern the place. The most important thing should be the local garrisons. This is the most important part. "
"Great Qin's current situation is to expand its territory."
"As a result, the local consul is controlled by both the military and the government. This matter must be put to an end. Therefore, I believe that the current situation can be completely changed. We can still follow the foundation of our Xia Xia and separate the military and politics. "
Luo Binwang said, "This is one of my general ideas. The most important thing was to arrange for the troops to be stationed properly. As long as this step is arranged properly, the place will naturally be stable. "
Du Qi laughed.
Luo Binwang's consideration of problems was indeed becoming more and more detailed and comprehensive. It was very good.
Du Qi ordered, "Inform Pan Jingyue to come here. This Prince wants to see him."
"Yes!"
Luo Binwang immediately agreed.
He turned around and left to deliver the order. Not long after, Pan Jingyue returned. Because of the submission of the various places, Pan Jingyue had returned to the Pan Family and was not an official in the local area.
When he heard that Du Qi had summoned him, he felt a little nervous. After all, he did not know why Du Qi had summoned him.
Everything made him feel puzzled.
When Pan Jingyue saw Du Qi, he stood still and bowed, "Pan Jingyue greets Your Highness, King Qi."
"Sit!"
Du Qi ordered.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Pan Jingyue sat down after thanking him.
Du Qi said in a deep voice, "How many years have you been a county magistrate?"
Pan Jingyue said, "Your Highness, a total of twelve years. I became a county magistrate when I was fifteen, and I'm twenty-seven now. It was only recently that I returned to my home. "
Pan Xisheng was now in his fifties and close to sixty. He had his eldest son when he was fourteen or fifteen, and Pan Xisheng's son also gave birth to Pan Jingyue when he was in his teens.
Pan Jingyue was the eldest grandson of the Pan Family.
He had achieved success at a young age.
At a young age, he had already made a name for himself. Then, he was assigned to a local office and became a county magistrate. Logically speaking, ordinary people were young and frivolous, but Pan Jingyue was not. Instead, he tidied up the place bit by bit and patiently changed the place. That was why there were great changes in the place and he was able to govern it well.
Du Qi nodded and said approvingly, "What are you going to do if you're in charge of the Fire Province?"
Whoosh!
Pan Jingyue's breathing immediately quickened.
Take charge of the Fire Province.
That was a high-ranking official. In fact, in Xia Xia's eyes, he was an important member of a region. For Pan Jingyue, this was a leap of faith. It was something unbelievable.
He did not expect that he would get such an opportunity.
Pan Jingyue was excited at first, but then he calmed down and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, if I'm in charge of the Fire Province, I should start from four aspects."
When it came to governing a place, Pan Jingyue was not a novice.
Governing a county was governance.
Governing a state was also governance.
It was just that the territory of the place would be wider.
Du Qi listened to Pan Jingyue's words and said with a smile, "Tell me, what are the four aspects?"
Pan Jingyue said, "First, it's still the governance of the people's livelihood. In the past, the Fire Nation's development was not bad. But in fact, such a Fire Nation still has many problems. It's better for Xia Xia to put the people first. So, the first task now is to develop the people's livelihood. Light labor and low taxes so that the people can live a good life. The most basic thing is to let the local people have food to eat, clothes to wear, and land to farm. This is a prerequisite. "
Hearing this, Du Qi smiled and said, "The topic of the people's livelihood is not a small matter. You said that it's light labor and low taxes, but in fact, it's not easy to arrange this matter. There were too many difficult problems in the specific administration of the country. For example, most of the land is in the hands of the big families, such as the Pan Family, the Xiang Family, the Yu Family, and others. For example, the population is mainly concentrated in a group of slaves in the big families. These things are not easy. "
Pan Jingyue said confidently, "Your Highness, these things seem difficult. But in fact, they are not difficult. In fact, when I was the county magistrate of a county, I had encountered these things before. But in the end, I solved them perfectly. "
Du Qi asked, "How did you solve them?"
Pan Jingyue was from an aristocratic family, so he was very curious and wanted to know how Pan Jingyue solved the problem.
