The strongest Marquis in history

After a little delay, Wang Qi continued his journey.When he left this time, Wang Qi brought Sun Lang with him, as well as the young heroes of the major families, because these people were going to be officials.When he left, Lu Yuanda also left with him,

Lu Yuanda is now going to Guangling County to serve as the prefect.As for the candidate for the prefect of Jiujiang County, Wang Qi didn't arrange it, but left it to Gu Kang to arrange it. He believed that Gu Kang's ability was enough to arrange it properly.

Wang Qi led his troops into Xiapi Kingdom. Instead of all the troops going to Qingzhou, he arranged for Xiao Qingzhi to take the army and go to Guangling County to guard and station again.After the spring of next year, Wang Qi will visit Guangling County in person and start preparing for Yangzhou.

After the army left, Wang Qi took Yuan Cang, Zhou Zishan, Sun Lang and other people to the north.

Go to Linzi, Qingzhou.

After the war ended, Wang Qi had to return to Linzi for the time being.

This road went north, and the speed of the journey was fast, so I returned to Linzi at the end of October.

After Wang Qi returned, he first arranged for Yuan Cang to set up Yushitai, and then arranged for Sun Lang to work beside Zhu Shanchang to learn how to deal with government affairs.

In addition, many young people from Lujiang County and Jiujiang County were handed over to Zhu Shanchang to arrange and dispatch them to work.After all matters were dealt with, Wang Qicai went to the backyard.

This time, it took several months to leave Linzi.Now back in Linzi, Wang Qi will be with Zhao Yuyan and Mi Zhen.Wang Qi rested for four full days before formally dealing with government affairs.

Entering November, although the sun is still shining, there is also a little bit of chill.

When Wang Qi was handling government affairs, it was Zhu Shanchang who entered.

Recently, Zhu Shanchang has been busy collecting sweet potatoes.This year's sweet potato harvest is excellent, and the amount collected is huge.He came to the main hall, saluted and said: "Your Highness, the sweet potatoes from all over the world have already harvested a lot."

"Even until now, the statistics have not been completed. What is certain is that this year's sweet potatoes are enough to spread in Qingzhou and Xuzhou next year. Even if you eat a lot, it's okay."

"Sweet potatoes are now popular in Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and countless people have started to eat them, and they all like to eat them. So now, the foundation of our Qingzhou has been completely solidified."

Zhu Shanchang looked excited.

As a civil servant under Wang Qi's command, he has been committed to governing the rear.The more stable and stable Wang Qi's rule is, the more confidence Qi will have to continue fighting.

Wang Qi smiled and said: "This is a good thing. With this foundation, all problems can be solved. Especially the attack on Xuzhou next year will not be affected."

Zhu Shanchang nodded, changed the topic, and continued to report other government affairs.Everything related to business tax, population, and other aspects was reported one by one.

Wang Qi also praised after listening.

Under Zhu Shanchang's governance, everything is developing very well and is improving steadily.

After Zhu Shanchang reported, Wang Qi and Zhu Shanchang sorted out all the government affairs together, and Zhu Shanchang left.

Wang Qi had just been free and was reading a book when his attendants reported that Zhuge Feng wanted to see him, and Wang Qi ordered the soldiers to let Zhuge Feng in directly.Not long after, Zhuge Feng entered the hall, saluted and said, "Your Highness!"

Wang Qi said: "Brother, sit down!"

After Zhugefeng sat down, he said solemnly: "I came today because I think that your Highness's subordinates should make some adjustments. Now there is Yuan Cang's Yushitai, Duan Jiuzhen's Supervision Department, and Chen Qinglong's Intelligence Bureau." .”

"The scale of our Qi State is getting bigger and bigger. Therefore, at the moment, I think it is necessary to set up six departments and improve the organization. We may not have three provinces now, but at least the current Qi State should be more formal and more standardized .”

Zhuge Feng said: "After all, the current state of Qi is gradually full of talents, and all organizations can arrange them."

Wang Qi thought about it carefully, nodded and said: "What brother said is true, it is indeed time to make arrangements. How does brother think about the candidates for the sixth department?"

Chapter 542 Returning to Nanyang

Zhuge Feng looked solemn, and said slowly: "As for the candidates for the six ministers, this is how I think about it. Zhu Shanchang can be proposed to be the minister of the official department. After all, he is in charge of the promotion and assessment of our Qi State's personnel."

"Xiao Qingzhi has always been in charge of the army here, and Xiao Qingzhi has participated in all wars, large and small. Therefore, Xiao Qingzhi intends to serve as Minister of the Ministry of War and manage all the affairs of the army."

"Mi Huang is good at managing finances, so he plans to be the Minister of the Ministry of Households; Lin Yuanchong intends to be the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Cui Dongshan plans to be the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. The last Minister of the Ministry of Industry, I will concurrently serve as the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry."

"Besides, Du Can was in charge of Jijiu before. Now that the Guozijian was established, he was directly appointed as Guozijijiu and in charge of Guozijian. In addition to the established Yushitai, Supervision Department, Intelligence Bureau, etc., it is almost like Qi State, can really work.”

"In fact, the establishment of each department requires countless establishments and requires countless talents. In this way, it also gives opportunities to the scholars gathered in Linzi."

"Even the establishment of the six departments means that the normal operation of our organization is also approaching routine. Under such a premise, the operation efficiency of Qi will be further improved, and the cohesion will be further enhanced."

Zhuge Feng has always had ideas about the arrangement of the entire official system of Qi State.

It's just that the war continued before.

There is no time to be in order. Now that Wang Qi has resolved the threat from Yuan Wei and controlled a part of the Yangzhou area, he has temporarily stabilized and can free up his hands to stabilize the place and consolidate himself.

After Wang Qi listened, he thought about it carefully, but shook his head.

Zhuge Feng said: "What does Your Highness mean?"

Wang Qi said: "Brother, I have no objection to everyone's arrangement. But I am not satisfied with your own arrangement. It is definitely unreasonable for your talent to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. When it comes to meritorious deeds, although you are good at it, you are very good. , but you should be number one. Because all the structures were built by our brothers."

Zhuge Feng smiled and said, "Your Highness, it doesn't really matter what position I hold. Besides, Your Highness and I are sworn brothers, and our status is quite special, so we need to avoid suspicion. I am the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry. Before, this is the most appropriate."

Zhuge Feng didn't care much about his arrangements.

The future is still very long.

A Shangshu is only a current position, so he takes it very seriously.

After Wang Qi heard it, he was dissatisfied.To put it bluntly, Zhuge Feng has made great contributions to his ability to establish Qi.Zhu Shanchang governs the local area, while Zhuge Feng strategizes. Now he is only a minister of the Ministry of Industry, which cannot convince the public.

Wang Qi asked: "Is there any candidate for Minister of Industry?"

Zhuge Feng said: "If you want to talk about the candidate for the minister of the Ministry of Industry, you can choose Mo Liu. In fact, my plan is to let Mo Liu be the minister of the Ministry of Industry, as the second in command of the Ministry of Industry."

Wang Qi has an excellent memory, so he immediately thought of Mo Liu.When Wang Qi was in Fanyang County, Mo Liu was recruited to be in charge of forging all the equipment.Mo Liu himself, from the Great Zhoutian Workshop, specializes in forging weapons, and his ability is extremely good.

Wang Qi said: "Mo Liu is in Fanyang, why did he come to Qingzhou?"

Zhuge Feng explained: "The arrangement of Mo Liu was adjusted by Zhu Shanchang. After the establishment of Qi State, there was a lack of people who were responsible for forging and other aspects, and there was a vacancy in Qingzhou. It happened that Zhu Shanchang contacted Youzhou and knew the situation of Mo Liu. Let Mo Liu be transferred here to be responsible for the forging of weapons and so on."

"In fact, apart from Mo Liu, some other personnel have also been transferred here one after another."

"Let's go back to Mo Liu. He used to be an official in the Great Zhou Chaotian Workshop. He has been educated, and he is also very capable and has enough prestige. If you want to arrange for the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, let him be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, there is no problem."

Zhuge Feng said: "Besides me, Mo Liu is the most suitable candidate."

Wang Qi thought for a while, and said: "Mo Liu is here to serve as Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Brother, you will directly serve as Minister of the Ministry of War. Xiao Qingzhi will make another arrangement, and he will be the general of the army. Initially, he will be the general of Zhenbei. As for Yang Shanjun, takes up the post of Zhennan General. Currently the highest in the army is General of the Four Towns. The rest of the generals will go down one by one. They will be rewarded separately for their meritorious service in the future."

Zhuge Feng said: "Your Highness, it is actually unnecessary."

Wang Qi flicked his sleeves and said: "This matter is settled like this. You go and notify all the people involved to discuss the matter. Make this matter today and start to adjust the organization."

"Yes!"

Seeing Wang Qi's insistence, Zhuge Feng stopped talking.

Minister of the Ministry of War is an important post.

It would be appropriate for him to be in charge of the Ministry of War.

Zhuge Feng got up to inform, within a short time, everyone arrived in the main hall and saluted Wang Qi together.Wang Qi looked around at everyone, without going around in circles, he directly said that Qi Guo re-arranged the appointments and re-arranged everyone's official positions.

After the appointments were announced, Wang Qi looked at Zhu Shanchang and said, "Zhu Qing, you should reconsider the selection of Qingzhou shepherds and arrange for someone to take over. If there is a vacancy, you can take over temporarily. In addition, the major generals in the army are involved. As for the positions of military advisers at all levels, you discuss with Zhuge Feng, and report to this king after the agreement is made."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zhu Shanchang nodded and agreed.

Wang Qi continued: "The personnel of each department needs to be replenished, and the departments under their respective jurisdictions should replenish their personnel as soon as possible. But one thing to remember is that soldiers are more expensive than elite ones, and remember not to fill them up indiscriminately."

"Yes!"

Everyone answered in unison.

Wang Qi also arranged many other government affairs. After everyone left, Wang Qi arranged for someone to greet Zhao Yuyan, and he took Xia Houhu and went south to Nanyang County.

When Cui Dongshan and Lin Yuanchong were involved, Wang Qi had to go there himself.Both of them are not too young at this age, in fact, they don't care much about fame and fortune, so they are willing to stay in the academy.

Wang Qi didn't want the two of them to stay in the academy all the time.

Both Lin Yuanchong and Cui Dongshan were important ministers in the court.Moreover, the minds of the two are relatively pure, and they can play a greater role in serving in the court.

In addition, many people under Wang Qi's command still have some shortcomings if they want to be truly promoted to a minister. They need old people like Cui Dongshan and Lin Yuanchong to support them for a while, and then make a transition.

This is Wang Qi's plan.

Wang Qi traveled on horseback and arrived in Nanyang County in less than three days.

Returning to Nanyang again, Wang Qi felt as if he had passed away along the way.Today's Nanyang County has undergone earth-shaking changes from the past.Along the way, the villages are full of smoke, chickens and dogs are heard, full of vitality.

On the official road, there are also many people coming and going.

This is Nanyang today.

full of energy.

Wang Qi was delighted to see such a scene. After he arrived in Nanyang County, he went straight to Nanyang Academy.In today's academy, there are many colleges and even hundreds of schools of thought, which is very lively.

After Wang Qi entered the academy, he turned around and went to Cao Qisheng's office first.

Cao Qisheng is still the dean of the academy.

In charge of the entire Nanyang Academy.

When Wang Qi entered, it happened that Cao Qisheng had no class and was reading a book. He is a master in the Grand Master Realm, with sharp eyes and ears. When he heard footsteps entering, he looked up. When he saw Wang Qi coming, he got up and said, "Your Highness, what are you doing?" Is it coming? Let someone tell me, this old man is ready to welcome you!"

Wang Qi is young, but Cao Qisheng praised Wang Qi's support for the academy, as well as Wang Qi's own talent and attack.

He has a lot of respect for Wang Qi.

Chapter 543

Wang Qi sat down straight away, and said with a smile: "Mr. Cao, it's not a big deal. What are you doing here?"

Cao Qisheng said: "Your Highness has a different status."

Wang Qidao: "In Nanyang Academy, there is no King Qi, only a junior. I came today to discuss some matters with the teacher and uncle. There are some things that I want to ask Duke Cao for advice."

Cao Qisheng stroked the gray beard under his chin, and said slowly: "Nanyang Academy today is thriving and full of vitality. Especially as Nanyang Academy becomes more and more famous, more and more scholars, even well-educated Confucians, are actively Come to the academy to work."

"The faculty of the entire Nanyang Academy is getting stronger and stronger."

"In addition, Nanyang Academy has now started to promote education from childhood to adulthood, starting from childhood, and cultivating education level by level. However, due to the short time, the development of these aspects is still very slow."

"In short, Nanyang Academy is getting better and better. It is estimated that in my lifetime, I should be able to see Nanyang Academy become a sacred place of literature and Taoism recognized by everyone in the world."

Cao Qisheng was very proud when he mentioned the situation of the academy.

This is what he built little by little.

After spending countless efforts, Cao Qisheng is very proud of what he has now.

Wang Qi said: "As long as the academy is improving, that's good."

Cao Qisheng said: "Today's academy requires money and people, and everything is needed. In addition, His Highness has a problem, what is it?"

Wang Qidao: "Mr. Cao is well-informed, do you know the situation of Grand Master?"

Cao Qisheng was a little surprised, and said: "I know a little about the situation of Grand Masters, but I don't know much about them. As far as I know, the people who have broken through to Grand Masters all the time are true martial arts people who specialize in martial arts."

"I don't know exactly how to break through. If I know, maybe I have already stepped into the Grand Master, and I won't be a Grand Master for decades."

"As far as this old man knows, those who break through to Grand Masters are all secluded and do not care about the affairs of the world. This also leads to the fact that Grand Masters are common in the world, and it is almost rare to meet Grand Masters."

"Furthermore, the people who can really break through to the Grand Master are very rare, very few. There may not be one person out of tens of thousands of people, and it may not be possible for one person to break through to the Grand Master in decades."

"The holy places of martial arts in the world include the Sanqing Temple in Zhongnan Mountain, and the Dachan Temple in Songshan Mountain. There may be people in the Taoist and Buddhist holy places. If you are interested, you can go and find out."

"But old man, I don't recommend you to go. Because you practice martial arts diligently, you must stay away from dust and get involved in the secular world. Such a situation is not suitable for you. Even if you understand it, it is meaningless."

"Just like the old man, it is enough to prolong your life in the Grandmaster Realm. Wanting to get more is a luxury."

When Cao Qisheng mentioned the great master, he knew a lot about it.

It seems that there is also regret.

Because Cao Qisheng is only a person in the realm of a grand master so far, and he cannot set foot in the grand master.

In Wang Qi's heart, he was more interested in the great master, and he was even more puzzled, but Cao Qisheng didn't know, so Wang Qi didn't pursue the bottom line, and said: "Cao Gong's teachings, Wang Qi will remember."

Cao Qisheng asked: "Why did Your Highness suddenly ask about the Grand Master?"

Wang Qi said: "When I was in Lujiang County, Yangzhou, I had a conflict with the State of Chu. Xiong Yuanxiang, the great master of the State of Chu, quietly went to Shu County to assassinate me, and was defeated and captured alive by me and Xia Houhu. Through him, I learned some news. Thinking Mr. Cao is well-informed, so I came to inquire about it."

Cao Qisheng's eyes widened immediately, and with an inconceivable expression, he said, "Your Highness and Xia Houhu, can you defeat Grandmaster? I remember that Grandmaster's true essence circulates without hindrance, and can even pick leaves to hurt people. Separated from the body, even spread all over Zhou Shen. You can attack any place, and the protective essence can resist it. Unexpectedly, His Highness actually took down Xiong Yuanxiang."

Wang Qi said: "It's just a fluke."

Cao Qisheng said: "It doesn't matter if it's a fluke or not, it's all amazing, amazing! Speaking of Xiong Yuanxiang, I know a thing or two. Xiong Yuanxiang is about 40 years old until now. The old man's grade When I was very young, I heard about Xiong Yuanxiang's reputation. He was born in the royal family in Chu State, and he is a martial arts madman. He is extremely powerful. There has been no news about him for so many years, and I thought Xiong Yuanxiang was dead. Unexpectedly, he is still alive. "
