Wang Qi led Xiao Qingzhi's troops northward. After returning to Xuzhou, he met with Zhao Shao in Xiapi to learn about the current situation in Xuzhou.
Under Zhao Shao's governance, Xuzhou has been developing very well in the past year or so. The land controlled by the government has been steadily increasing, the people are cultivating more and more land, and they have already achieved self-sufficiency in food.
Especially in the promotion of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, Zhao Shao spent a lot of effort. The agricultural products are more abundant and the people have more choices to eat. This is the most basic development of Xuzhou.
Xuzhou¡¯s business is also improving rapidly. Xuzhou¡¯s salt industry, mining industry, other cloth and silk industries, and wine making industry are all improving steadily.
This has become a distribution center.
A large number of businessmen came in and out.
There are countless materials traded every day. As a result, Xuzhou's business tax revenue has grown rapidly. The entire Xuzhou economy has achieved healthy operation.
Wang Qi applauded in his heart after listening to Zhao Shao's explanation. Xuzhou is developing rapidly, and Qingzhou is also booming. Wang Qi's foundation has been completely solidified.
Compared with other places, Wang Qi's development is not fast, because although he conquers local areas, his main energy is to develop local areas, especially in terms of land and population, he has made great efforts.
Although it is slower, the foundation is extremely solid.
This is irreplaceable.
Wang Qi was also extremely satisfied with Zhao Shao's local governance. After the two talked about government affairs, they talked privately with relatives. The first thing Zhao Shao did was about the children.
The starting point of Zhao Shao¡¯s discussion is not about having children early. He did not urge him like this. He said on the basis of the long-term peace and stability of the Qi State that he hoped that Wang Qi would be successful soon so that the Qi State could be truly stable.
Wang Qi responded with a smile.
He is not in a hurry, just let nature take its course.
After Wang Qi had a conversation with Zhao Shao, he stayed in the city for one night, and the next day he led his troops and set off northward, continuing to go north. By the time Wang Qi returned to Linzi, it was already mid-March and the weather was getting warmer.
Wang Qi returned triumphantly after annihilating the state of Chen. The whole country celebrated, the people cheered, the courtiers were excited, and everyone was excited. Because Qi's current strength has further expanded, looking at the world, it is already one of the few great powers.
When it comes to territory, it may not be the largest. But when it comes to strength, Wang Qi's strength is second to none. Looking around the world, there are very few people who can truly compete with Wang Qi.
The army triumphantly returned, the army was stationed in the military camp, and Wang Qi returned to the palace.
Wang Qi immediately summoned Zhuge Feng, Mi Huang and Zhu Shan to discuss matters. He glanced at the three of them and said, "How is the situation in the north during this period?"
Zhuge Feng said: "For the time being, the situation in the north is relatively stable, and Zhang Shiqi has not yet intervened in the battlefield of Youzhou. However, although Zhenbeihou has captured most of the counties in Youzhou, there is still Zhuojun that he has not captured. "
"Zhu Huai is now retreating to Zhuo County and returning to Zhuo County to defend it. Zhenbei Hou is on his way to Zhuo County. According to my estimation, if there is no external intervention, it should not take long to capture Zhuo County. Of course, if Zhang Shiqi sends troops to intervene, it will be different and the war may be delayed."
Zhuge Feng said: "It's slower now, mainly because there is resistance from some aristocratic families in Youzhou."
Wang Qi nodded and said: "It doesn't matter, even if the world intervenes, it won't affect the overall situation. Even if Zhang Shiqi intervenes, it doesn't matter. On the contrary, I look forward to Zhang Shiqi's intervention, because Qi needs a reason to expand."
Zhuge Feng said: "What the king said is true."
Wang Qi looked at Mi Huang and asked: "Mi Qing, I brought back a large amount of gold, silver, and precious jade articles. You take people to the military camp, count them, and then seal all the gold, silver and jewelry in the warehouse. "
"yes!"
Mi Huang nodded and answered.
Wang Qi's eyes turned and fell on Zhu Shanchang again, and said: "Shanchang, Yangzhou has been initially decided. Now Yangzhou's pastor is Jiang Ning. Has Gu Kang taken up the post?"
Zhu Shanchang said: "Reporting to your highness, Gu Kang has already gone to his post. He hurried back all the way and took office as soon as he arrived in Linzi. Gu Kang is very familiar with government affairs. Speaking of him as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, ministers are more relaxed."
Wang Qi smiled and said: "This is a good thing."
Gu Kang was able to govern the local area and was very capable. Now that he has arrived at the center of Qi State, it is even better, as he can bring out Gu Kang's abilities.
Wang Qi continued: "When it comes to the adjustment of the entire Yangzhou officialdom, the counties will not adjust it for the time being. After this year's transition, we will gradually adjust it by the end of the year.Reorganize, rotate officials from each county, or adjust them to the center, and then arrange people to go to the local areas, gradually weakening the original Yangzhou clique and its control over Yangzhou. "
Zhu Shanchang said: "I obey your orders!"
"Tap! Tread!!"
There was a sound of rapid footsteps, but a chamberlain came in and reported: "Your Highness, Chen Qinglong wants to see you."
"Xuan!"
Wang Qi gave an order.
The chamberlain went to deliver the order. Not long after, Chen Qinglong stepped in.
He bowed to Wang Qi and said: "Your Highness, I have just received news from Chang'an. In Chang'an, the emperor personally issued an edict to commend His Highness for destroying the Chen Kingdom and allowing the Qi King's lineage to be hereditary. In addition, the Emperor granted I have chosen a gentle and virtuous woman, Su Yuqing, to marry you, and I have specially given it to Princess Jianing, as a concubine to Your Highness as a reward for your service."
Wang Qi raised his eyebrows after hearing this. He was a little surprised. Will the emperor be kind enough to grant a marriage?
Wang Qi didn¡¯t believe it.
Wang Qi said: "Chen Qing, what's going on here?"
Chen Qinglong shook his head and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, no specific information about Su Yuqing's situation has been found. There is only a general news that she is someone close to the Queen Mother."
"Hahaha¡¡"
After Wang Qi heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
??Laughter, a little sarcastic.
Zhuge Feng said: "Your Highness, why are you laughing?"
Hearing this, Zhu Shanchang, Mi Huang and Chen Qinglong also looked at Wang Qi, looking very surprised.
Wang Qi said: "The reason why I laugh is because Su Yuqing comes from Concubine Li. This woman, Concubine Li, is not a simple person. She seems to be a weak woman, but she is actually charming and charming. She has practiced martial arts." He specializes in the relationship between men and women and is good at controlling people's hearts."
"That's why she can gain a foothold in the palace. Even though Zhao Yu and Zhao Zhi fought fiercely, she was still unaffected. Zhao Qian also stayed in Chang'an without being affected."
"Even Linghu Qianli, the governor of Black Dragon Terrace, is loyal to Concubine Li. In addition, the commander of the imperial army also sides with Concubine Li. This woman is very extraordinary."
Wang Qi said: "Concubine Li is like this, and the women around her are probably like this, so I am laughing."
Zhuge Feng also practiced martial arts. He knew how difficult it was for such women to deal with him. He said, "Your Majesty, the one who comes here is unkind. In this case, let's just set up checkpoints at the border and prohibit the imperial envoys from entering our Qi Kingdom."
Zhu Shanchang shook his head and said: "That's not necessary. Once entry is prohibited, it means that Qi State does not respect the imperial court. At present, we still have a fig leaf, which is serving the Great Zhou Dynasty. I think we can allow the other party to enter. When the time comes, Su Yuqing This woman will take it first, and when the imperial envoys leave, she will find a reason to execute her."
Chen Qinglong was stunned when he heard this. Whether it was Zhuge Feng or Zhu Shanchang, their handling methods were very powerful.
He didn¡¯t add any opinions and just stood aside.
Wang Qi smiled and said: "When it comes to Su Yuqing, let her do it. As for how to deal with it, it won't be too late to wait until Su Yuqing arrives."
"yes!"
Zhuge Feng and Zhu Shanchang heard this and answered in unison.
After the matter was settled, everyone resigned. Wang Qi checked some previous memorials, learned about the government affairs, and then went to the harem. Now it's almost evening, Zhao Yuyan and Mi Zhen are back.
When the two women heard about Wang Qi's return, they both returned early.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As soon as the three of them meet, it is a time of great rain after a long drought.
A lustful pleasure.
Wang Qi stayed in Linzi for this period of time and did not leave for the time being. After all, there was no news from Jizhou yet. Wang Qi was busy handling government affairs during the day and busy making people at night, so his days were leisurely.
In the blink of an eye, it was March 26th. On this day, the sky was overcast and it was raining lightly. It is said that spring rain is as precious as oil. If this spring rain continues, the crops in the fields will be better.
When Wang Qi was handling government affairs in the palace, the chamberlain came in to report that a mission sent by Zhou Dynasty had come outside the palace to seek an audience. Wang Qi did not leave the other party alone and directly ordered people to take him into the palace. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
