Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

After a fierce competition, the top thirty were finally selected on the stage.

Although some people had bruises on their faces and some were punched a few times, those who were selected were all in high spirits.

There is a school in Zhuangzi where one can learn to read and write.

But almost all the young people here can only read and write, and have no talent for reading.

There were two who passed the exam to become scholars, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not pass the exam any further.

Therefore, one of them became a teacher on Zhuangzi.

The other one was going to follow Zhou Jin as a manager and handle some affairs.

Finally, thirty-five people were selected.

Plus five middle-aged people, these people are experienced and knowledgeable.

It's just the right time to teach these young people so that they don't run around recklessly outside.

Gu Xiling was watching from the side and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

After all, it is the Changning Marquis Mansion, with a profound heritage.

With these forty people with high martial arts skills following us, plus some guards and stewards in the mansion, it would be enough.

However, when Zhou Jin received the transfer order, Marquis Changning was dumbfounded!

Qingshui County?

This place is really bad!

Your Majesty is so cruel!

But now that the transfer order has been issued, there is of course no possibility of taking it back.

Not only Marquis Changning was shocked, but other court officials were also very shocked.

Marquis Changning had made great contributions and had just received a reward when his son was sent to Qingshui County to serve as a county magistrate.

Although Qingshui County was the largest county in Kangguo, larger than a state in other places, the official position was only that of a county magistrate.

The key point is that this county magistrate is of the fifth rank, which is the same rank as the Jingzhao Yin.

But Jingzhao Yin is the county magistrate in charge of the capital, but Qingshui County is in the northwesternmost part of Kangguo.

It borders eight small countries and the flow of people is chaotic.

There are many caravans, as well as many bandits and robbers.

The common people in that place, when they are busy, are farmers; when they are not busy, they carry shovels and hammers and become robbers.

The first two county magistrates died shortly after arriving in office, and both died unnatural deaths.

Your Majesty asked the Prince of Changning to go to Qingshui County. Does this mean you want the Prince of Changning to die?

Is Your Majesty tired of the Changning Marquisate?

Just as everyone was speculating, several transfer orders were issued.

Now that Yuan Zhen has been reinstated, he has been transferred to Qingshui to serve as county magistrate.

In addition, Xie Jin, who was in mourning, received an order to lead 10,000 troops to serve as the garrison commander of Qingshui County.

Finally, what is even more surprising is that Wang Shiwen is actually the chief clerk of Qingshui County.

Marquis Changning stood in front of the geomancy map with a frown on his face.

After a stick of incense, Marquis Changning smiled.

Zhou Jin frowned, he still hadn't figured it out yet.

He could endure the long distance and high mountains, but he couldn't bear to let his wife Gu Xiling suffer with him.

It doesn't matter if he's alone, but now that he has a wife, he just wants her to enjoy a good life.

The best choice is to go to the prosperous water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

When Song learned the news, she was furious and blamed the court for being too harsh.

She actually arranged her son to live so far away. If he was closer, she could take care of him if anything happened.

We can come back and reunite during the Chinese New Year and other holidays.

But now, let alone a three-year term, that remote place may not be able to be governed well in six years.

She predicted that they wouldn't meet again in the next six years.

The old lady didn't think it was too far, after all, the old marquis had fought in a war further west of Qingshui County.

But she is old and her grandchildren and daughters-in-law have gone to such a faraway place.

After not seeing each other for a few years, will I still be able to live to see my grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law come back?

When Gu Xiling learned that she was being sent to Qingshui County, she was completely dumbfounded.

It’s Qingshui County again!

She has to go through that kind of poverty and bad water again!

But now Your Majesty is in good health, the court is stable, and there is no need to worry.

It’s different from the previous life.

However, even if she didn't rebel this time, she didn't want to stay in a place like that for long.

But the order has been given, so we can only accept it.

By the way, Master and Senior Brother said they would come to the capital, but they haven’t come yet. I don’t know where they are traveling to.

How envious!

Zhou Jin came in and saw Gu Xiling frowning slightly. He said guiltily, "My wife, Qingshui County is so far away. I can't bear to let you go with me to such a poor and remote place."

Gu Xiling raised her eyes. Her handsome husband was still a weak scholar. Could she expect to win over those unruly people by reciting poems and composing couplets?

If that happens, my brain will probably be smashed all over the floor!

"My husband, what are you talking about? It is said that the husband sings and the wife follows. Wherever you go, I will go. Although Qingshui County is far away, it is very important. His Majesty asked you to go there. To outsiders, it seems that he dislikes you."

"In fact, if you look at the geomancy map, Qingshui County is located on the route that must be passed by the east-west trade, and there are too many benefits. The previous two county magistrates were killed, and now those bandits and robbers have the upper hand. Most of the benefits on the trade route go into the hands of these criminals."

"In addition, if this continues for a long time, this most convenient trade route will inevitably be affected. Once it is blocked, trade between the East and the West will be blocked, which will also be disadvantageous to Kangguo. Therefore, we in Kangguo must ensure that the trade route is unobstructed."

Zhou Jin nodded, "My lady, that's right. I also think it's a trade route issue."

The couple had a careful discussion, which helped Zhou Jin to develop many new ideas.

Of course, Gu Xiling knew a lot of things, but she couldn't explain the source of that information.

After thinking it over, Gu Xiling chose not to say anything.

Anyway, once we get there, all problems will come up and we can solve them one by one then.

In her previous life, even in such dangerous situations, she was able to sort out the interests and defeat the enemies one by one. She can definitely do it this time.

In the evening, Zhou Jin came to the study to discuss with his father.

When Zhou Jin said that the trade routes were smooth, Changning Hou nodded, "Indeed, the people are civilians in normal times, but become bandits in their spare time. The root cause is poverty, and not everyone wants to be a bandit. After all, not all caravans are willing to be robbed, and they will resist, and both sides will die. In addition, there is another possibility, others are bandits, and they are not bandits, so they are robbed by bandits, which is also a form of self-protection. This is an object that can be fought for."

"Secondly, some of those bandits are real bandits who become bandits and rob merchants and travelers, but some are not. Look at the geomancy map. Which countries border Kangguo? Count carefully. How many are there?"

Zhou Jin followed his father's finger and looked at the geomancy map. "Father, there are eight. These countries also use this road to trade, which is also beneficial to them. They should also hope that the trade route will be unobstructed."

Marquis Changning nodded. "In fact, it is just as you said. The top leaders do hope that the trade routes will be smooth, but only a small number of people will get the benefits. There are still many who cannot. What should they do? What else is easier than robbing?"

Zhou Jin took a deep breath when he heard this. "Father, there are also the intervention of the Eight Nations, the situation is indeed complicated. What about the border guards of Qingshui County? Do they let the bandits run rampant? Do they just do nothing about it?"
