    After entering October, the weather in Linzi changes from cool to cold.  However, the people in Linzi and even the entire Qi State were very busy locally.

    October is the time to harvest sweet potatoes.  Sweet potatoes grown locally are mostly harvested at this time.  Although some are earlier and some are later, in general, they are all similar.

    Sweet potatoes are no longer a rarity nowadays, after all, every household has grown them.  On the premise that it is enough to fill the stomach, sweet potatoes become a food mixed with food.

    Of course, there are also some who are slightly poor, and sweet potatoes are still the most important and basic food.

    Wang Qi has been back in Linzi for a while. He stayed in the palace most of the time to accompany his two lovely wives, and then walked around the place.

    During this period, there were changes in government affairs.

    The candidates for the six ministers are still the same, and there is no change for the time being, but the person in charge of the Supervision Department has changed from Duan Jiuzhen to Long Ying.

    Long Ying went from a local county magistrate to the head of the Supervision Department.  As soon as he took office, he took the new official's first three measures. He directly led people to conduct private visits incognito, inspecting various places to investigate the situation in various parts of Qi.

    Because of Long Ying's actions, the entire officialdom of Qi State seemed to have a tight rope around them.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out  Now that Long Ying was in the prime of life, he had no scruples and acted boldly. He successively investigated and punished local magistrates, county magistrates, and even officials at the county guard level.

    The entire Qi State officials acted cautiously, and the administration of officials took on a new look.

    This is what Wang Qi is happy to see.

    Wang Qi watched the changes taking place in various places and felt satisfied.  Local officials are considerate of the people and are more diligent, which will strengthen the foundation of Qi State, which is conducive to the development of Qi State.

    For this reason, Wang Qi rewarded Long Ying one after another. First, he made Long Ying's wife, Lu, the fifth-grade royal wife, and then rewarded her with a residence. The successive rewards showed how much Wang Qi valued Long Ying.

    For a time, Long Ying became a hot celebrity in the court.  However, Long Ying mostly thanked guests behind closed doors and rarely interacted with courtiers because he was the head of the Supervision Department.

    When Qi continued to consolidate its foundation, the Huns from the north sent compensation.  As soon as the horses and sheep were sent, Wang Qi accepted them and ignored the Xiongnu affairs for the time being.

    As for the Xiongnu, it is not easy to destroy them, and it cannot be done overnight.  Even if Wang Qi wants to destroy the Xiongnu, he still needs to wait until the domestic situation is completely stable before taking action.

    On this day, Wang Qi returned to the palace leisurely after walking around Linzi City.  He returned to the palace and brought Zhu Shanchang, Zhuge Feng and Mi Huang.

    Wang Qi looked at the three of them and said in a deep voice: "Call all the heads of your Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of War and Ministry of Household Affairs. I have considered some things and will discuss them with you."

    Zhu Shan said: "Your Highness, please speak."

    Wang Qi said slowly: "First, it involves the war with the State of Wei. During this period, I have been paying attention to the development of the State of Wei. After Cao Xuan became queen, the cohesion of the State of Wei increased and it has been developing at a high speed. If more  In the past few years, Wei's strength has continued to increase, and it will inevitably become too big to deal with."

    "So what I mean is to rest this year and wait until spring next year to send troops to attack Wei."

    "Do you have any problems with this matter?"

    Wang Qi never underestimated Cao Xuan, because Cao Xuan was very wise and courageous.  It is precisely such people who must be treated with caution and not taken lightly.

    Zhu Shanchang said: "Your Highness, I think we can start a war. Qi has developed so far that it can only move forward and not retreat. Cao Xuan is a wise man. Such a person has no chance because he developed relatively late. Now he is becoming more and more powerful.  , so we, Qi State, can no longer let it go."

    Zhuge Feng echoed: "I agree with what Zhu Shangshu said. Therefore, His Highness decided to start the war next spring, and I support it. Today, if we start the war early and calm the world as soon as possible, there will be fewer variables."

    "What's more, the rest in the second half of this year has eased the situation in Qi State. Our Qi State is large, and with a little rest, we can relax and regain our strength."

    "Especially as our strength becomes more powerful and our territory becomes vaster, our ability to recover will become stronger and stronger. Therefore, the impact of war on us will become weaker and weaker."

    "Of course, this does not mean that Qi State is very strong. In fact, Qi State's foundation is still not stable enough and its population is still lacking. After all, whether it is Bingzhou, Qingzhou, or Jizhou, they have all been massacrednbsp; ¡°Follow your orders!¡±

    Zhu Shanchang, Zhuge Feng and Mi Huang answered in unison.

    At this moment, there was a soft knock on the door, and Li Wuji hurriedly entered. After standing still, he said: "Your Highness, I just received the latest news. Military Advisor Zhou landed at Haixi Ferry in Zhang'an County and headed north to return to Linzi. Military Advisor Zhou  It is said that the Japanese state proclaimed itself a vassal in this battle, and the Japanese crown prince Uesugi Hoshihide came in person. In addition, the Japanese state compensated 500,000 taels of silver and escorted him back on his way back."

    Wang Qixiao said: "I finally came back. The military advisor has gained good benefits from this experience. The Japanese state has declared itself a vassal, which means that for the time being, there will be no war, and we can deal with Cao Xuan calmly."

    Zhu Shanchang said: "Although five hundred thousand taels of silver is not much, it at least shows that the Japanese are afraid. In this battle, the Japanese sent Uesugi Hoshihide to take this opportunity to scare him."

    Zhuge Feng said: "I agree with Zhu Shangshu's suggestion. Let's beat each other hard in this battle."

    Wang Qidao: "We will discuss this matter after Zhou's military advisor returns."

    "I obey!"

    Zhuge Feng and others responded.

    Everyone reported the things that needed to be reported, and then left to busy themselves with the things at hand.  After all, the newspapers arranged by Wang Qi and the first battle next spring are not trivial matters and require a lot of planning.

    Wang Qi stayed in the palace and waited quietly.

    Time passed, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye. After entering late October, the weather became colder. Wang Qi did not wear more clothes. After all, his own strength had reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm, even half-step Grandmaster. The cold weather was not good for him.  The impact is not too big.

    On this day, when Wang Qi was looking through government affairs, Li Wuji came in and said: "Your Highness, Zhou's military advisor has returned in triumph. According to the news coming back, Zhou's military advisor is less than ten miles away from the capital of Linzi."

    Wang Qi ordered: "Go and make arrangements. Let people prepare my king's car. Let Xiahouhu and his people wait at the city gate. Ask the military advisor to take my king's car and enter the city. In addition, make a big publicity in the city that the Japanese country is coming.  I will proclaim myself a minister and pay a tribute of five hundred thousand taels of silver."

    "yes!"

    Li Wuji turned around and left to make arrangements to welcome Zhou Zishan.

    Wang Qi also had a touch of expectation on his face.

    Finally home.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
