Du Qi said with a smile, "Director Li, you must be joking. Brother Su is the Governor of Guazhou appointed by the imperial court and in charge of military affairs. In short, we should help each other in everything so as to gain a foothold in the Western Region. The Western Region is not like the Central Plains. We need sincere cooperation to stabilize the situation in the Western Region and ensure a stable foothold in the Western Region. "
"Let's have another drink, you two."
Du Qi picked up the wine bottle and drank it up.
Su Dingfang and Wei Shuyu also drank their wine. Both of them had smiles on their faces.
Now, they also showed goodwill to Du Qi.
It was to get closer to him.
It was to gain a foothold in the Western Region.
Du Qi said with a smile on his face. No matter whether Wei Shuyu and Su Dingfang were really on good terms with him or not, at least for now, they were sincere and united. The first thing was to gain a foothold in the Western Region.
Du Qi put down the wine bottle in his hand and said, "Brother Wei is going to Shazhou to take office. Now there is no big problem in Shazhou. Because last night, Shazhou bandit Tian Fuyu led troops to attack Jiuquan County and was completely wiped out. "
"Even if there are still many bandits in Shazhou today, they are not a big threat."
"When you set off for Shazhou, I will lead the army and help Brother Wei stabilize Shazhou. The next step is to go to Guazhou with Brother Su. Finally, I will go to the west."
Du Qi said, "But Brother Wei is going to take office, so you will stay for two days. Let me arrange things in Jiuquan County. After everything is arranged properly, I will set off with you."
Du Qi did not hide his arrangement.
This was the next plan.
Jiuquan was just a branch, just a transition. As for the many industries in Jiuquan, they were arranged in the Tang dynasty and were originally Du Qi's industries.
What should be done must be done.
It would not be affected by Du Qi's relocation.
Wei Shuyu said, "It's great to have Ping Xiwang with us."
Su Dingfang said, "Ping Xiwang is good at strategizing and calculating. With Ping Xi Wang accompanying him, everything would be easy. Since we're staying for two days, then let's stay for two days. We're not in a hurry. "
Both of them were happy to have Du Qi accompany them.
After all, it was a good thing that Du Qi was following them.
After Du Qi explained the general situation, he no longer mentioned government affairs. Instead, he began to toast frequently. Because Liu Zhengxi, Guo Xiaozheng, and Yu Deshui were also there, everyone toasted together, and the atmosphere became more lively.
Both the host and the guest enjoyed the banquet.
Late at night, the banquet finally ended. Du Qi had people bring Wei Shuyu and Su Dingfang to rest.
Du Qi stopped Fang Yiai.
Previously, Fang Yiai did not drink much wine, so he was sober.
Du Qi ignored Liu Zhengxi, Guo Xiaozheng, and Yu Deshui in the room. He looked at Fang Yiai and said, "Brother Fang, Prime Minister Fang asked you to come to the Western Regions. Are you going to work for me or stay in the Western Regions to help Brother Wei, Brother Su, and the others? "
Fang Yiai said, "I'll follow Ping Xiwang."
After a pause, Fang Yiai said with a silly smile, "Although I don't know anything about the art of war, I'm willing to work in the army."
Du Qi nodded and said, "Okay, you'll go to the army. However, you won't receive any special treatment. Once you're there, you'll work honestly. Moreover, I won't give you any preferential treatment. It's all up to you. "
Fang Yiai said, "No problem!"
Du Qi waved his hand and said, "Okay, you're dismissed. Rest early. I still have some matters to deal with."
"Yes!"
Fang Yiai also got up and left, following the attendants to rest.
Du Qi withdrew his previous smile and said, "Previously, I said that I'll follow Wei Shuyu and Su Dingfang to deploy troops. This is what we're going to do next. "
"The arrangements in Jiuquan County are all on track. Especially since the imperial court has arranged people here, we can take advantage of the situation and start to go to the Western Regions. We'll establish ourselves there earlier. "
"After all, Su Dingfang has brought an army here. It's very easy to help him take down Guazhou."
Du Qi said, "Right now, we need to start the expansion to the West. We must find out what the situation is outside Guazhou, so that we can quickly break the situation. "
Yu Deshui said, "Your Highness, I'll dispatch people from the First Tower Under Heaven to infiltrate the Western Regions of Guazhou to scout for information."
Du Qi nodded.
Liu Zhengxi said, "Your Highness, regarding the matter of migration, we should also make adjustments to the money and food we've hoarded in Jiuquan County, so that we can transport the food and money in the shortest time possible. Well, in this aspect, we can use the opening of the trade route to transport the goods. "
Du Qi said, "Mister Liu, you can arrange this."
Guo Xiaozheng said, "Your Highness is leaving Suzhou now. According to what we've said before, Your Highness can arrange for the Governor of Suzhou. This is the imperial court's reward."
"Even if Suzhou is in Longyou Road, it's not in a region like Guazhou. In any case, it can be controlled remotely, so Your Highness should make early arrangements and arrange for the Governor of Suzhou. "
Guo Xiaozheng said, "At least in the next few years, make sure that Suzhou is on Your Highness' side."
Du Qi nodded and said, "I have a plan for this candidate. Ye Daosheng is a good person."
Guo Xiaozheng said, "Ye Daosheng is indeed a good person. And he's quite tactful. I believe that he can judge the situation clearly and know that following Your Highness is the best choice. "
Du Qi nodded and said, "Mister Guo, inform Ye Daosheng to come tomorrow morning. Mister Liu and Yu Deshui, starting tomorrow, prepare to leave. Right now, they are preparing to leave, but Jiuquan County must be arranged well. For the time being, this is our Jiuquan County. "
"Yes!"
Guo Xiaozheng and the other two answered at the same time and left.
Du Qi was thinking about the follow-up arrangements in the study. Leaving Jiuquan County was a decision he had made long ago. He couldn't stay in Jiuquan County all the time, because this was the territory of the Tang dynasty. Du Qi needed his own territory.
But to go to the Western Region, he needed to be well prepared. Because after leaving the territory of the Tang dynasty, it was not so easy to survive in the outside world. Du Qi reorganized all his thoughts. After sorting out what to do next, he went to wash up and rest.
The next day, early in the morning.
Early in the morning.
Du Qi got up and washed up. After breakfast, he went to the study. Not long after, Ye Daosheng arrived. When Ye Daosheng saw Du Qi, he respectfully bowed and said, "Your Highness!"
"Sit!"
Du Qi waved his hand and ordered.
After Ye Daosheng sat down, he said seriously, "Your Highness summoned me. What arrangements do you have? As long as it's Your Highness's arrangement, I'll go through water and tread on fire without hesitation. "
Du Qi nodded and said, "County Magistrate Ye, you're the first person to follow me after I came to Jiuquan County, aren't you?"
Ye Daosheng said, "Your Highness, I'm indeed the first person to follow you. If it weren't for Your Highness, I wouldn't be where I am today. It's also because of Your Highness's promotion that I have today. Your Highness, to me, is the grace of being reborn. "
Du Qi smiled and said, "I don't care about the grace of being reborn or the grace of being recognized. It's enough for you to be an official and bring good fortune to the people. "
Ye Daosheng said, "I'll remember Your Highness's teachings."
Du Qi continued, "I called you here today because I have three things to tell you."
Ye Daosheng said, "Your Highness, please tell me."
Du Qi continued, "The first thing is the vacancy of the Suzhou Provincial Governor. Although His Majesty has arranged for the Guazhou Provincial Governor and Shazhou Provincial Governor, he gave me special permission to arrange the candidate for the position of Suzhou Provincial Governor. You know this. You're the only person I can trust in Suzhou, so you're the most suitable candidate. "
After Ye Daosheng heard it, his heart suddenly surged.
He was going to be the Suzhou Provincial Governor.
He had only been a county magistrate for a few months. In terms of qualifications and ability, he was far from enough to be the Provincial Governor of a province.
However, he had a good background.
He met Du Qi.
He had Du Qi as his benefactor.
Ye Daosheng immediately stood up. He walked to the center of the study, lifted his robe and knelt down. He kowtowed and said, "Your Highness's great kindness, I'll never forget it. I'm very grateful for Your Highness's promotion. I swear that no matter what Your Highness has arranged, I'll do my best to live up to Your Highness's expectations. "
