Sheng Fu

Chapter 833: Construction can begin

Qiushui County.

As the news of the Hengchang army's initial victory spread throughout the human world, the people in Qiu Shui County also became more motivated, because the female official was from the Hengchang Sect.

The arena outside the temporary residence has been dismantled.

It was a nice day today and Liu Qinghua was in a very good mood because Dugu Li came.

In the mansion, Liu Qinghua holds a high position and Dugu Li holds the second position.

Zong Liang and Meng Huai entered the mansion with six talented people from Qiu Shui County.

Huang Ping, Feng Yu, Ma Qing, Zhou An, Song He, and Fan Jiang.

The youngest of these six people is only twenty years old, and the oldest is only twenty-seven years old.

In terms of talent alone, these six people are not actually outstanding. It is just because they are very young and have drive in their hearts, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future. At the same time, they are also worried that the most capable people in Qiu Shui County will collude with each other after taking power and have the final say, so they chose these six people as the pillars of Qiu Shui County.

The most capable ones are all over 40 years old. Although they can be capable people, there is not much room for them to improve. Therefore, they are ranked after the six people from Huang Ping.

The examination in Qiu Shui County lasted for several days. Meng Huai and Zong Liang reviewed the papers all night and selected a total of thirty-six people. The six people who were able to enter this mansion were the six most outstanding people.

Before entering the mansion, Huang Ping and his six companions were dressed in tattered clothes and straw sandals, looking poor and shabby.

Zong Liang and Meng Huai considered that these six people would become the future founders of Qiu Shui County. In order to establish prestige for these six people, they specially provided them with a set of cloth clothes and cloth boots of high-quality materials.

The remaining thirty people also changed into new clothes, but the material was not as good as those of the six people.

As for the assessment, the process was quite tortuous.

During the initial investigation of unjust, false and wrong cases, many people were beheaded, resulting in most of the people participating in the examination being illiterate.

Occasionally, there are people who can read, but they cannot recognize all the characters.

Therefore, for this major examination, Zong Liang employed many servants who could read and write. The candidates stood behind the servants and verbally conveyed their thoughts and ideas, which were then written down by the servants.

In order to ensure absolute fairness, some of the candidates' poorly expressed dialect words were written down on the test papers by the servants.

Therefore, in this major examination, no one with any literary talent was found.

And finally, when Zong Liang and Meng Huai were marking the papers, they even sought out a few elderly people from Qiu Shui County and asked them to help explain the specific meanings of some of the dialect words on the papers.

The academic level of Huang Ping and the other six people is, at most, about the same as that of the seven or eight-year-old students in Hengchang Academy. And this is only possible with the help of their experience and age, which allows them to reach the level of the seven or eight-year-old students in Hengchang Academy.

Liu Qinghua was not disappointed about this.

We can only blame Liu Qinghua for having too rosy an idea at the beginning. He thought that by conducting a major examination in Qiu Shui County, one or two talented people might emerge.

Obviously, this beautiful fantasy can only be a fantasy.

It is undoubtedly a headache when you want to completely change a place but find that there is no one in this place who can enlighten the people. Fortunately, Hengchang Sect has some experience to learn from in educating the people in recent years, otherwise we would be completely in the dark and unable to see anything.

Before building Hengchang Academy, they had to find a few teachers and teach the local officials of Qiu Shui County how to read and write. Even Liu Qinghua himself found this move a bit ridiculous.

There is no way. The poorer and more oppressed people are, the more their bloodiness and spirit will be worn away. In order to survive, they will forget their dignity and beliefs.

It is not possible to revitalize the bloodline of Qiushui County in a short period of time. It will take at least two generations to completely get rid of the past spirit. Meng Huai bowed with both hands and said, "The people have all been transferred to that camp. The major and minor projects can be officially started. These six people are a small cabinet of Qiushui County."

"Although their foundation is a little weak, the things they face are all within their capabilities and vision."

Liu Qinghua looked at the six people, and there was a slight gleam in his eyes. It might be because he had changed into decent clothes, which made his eyes shine slightly.

Liu Qinghua said: "You six will be the founders of Qiushui County in the future, and the face of Qiushui County in the future. You have low abilities and can barely read a few words."

"But after thinking it over, I decided to select talents from your Qiushui County instead of recruiting the talents from Hengchang Sect. The sovereignty of Qiushui County needs to be controlled by the people of Qiushui County."

"In the near future, the entire Qiushui County will become a popular place, and many people will want to come and have a bite of meat. By then, every decision you make will affect the future of Qiushui County."

"Of course, our Hengchang Sect will also have capable people to guide you on things you don't understand, so you need to grow up as quickly as possible."

"The future of Qiushui County rests on your shoulders."

Huang Ping and the other six felt their shoulders heavy when they heard this, and then they bowed deeply with their unfamiliar hands and said, "Thank you for your guidance, sir."

Liu Qinghua said: "Although in general, all the unjust, false and wrong cases in Qiushui County have been resolved, there are still many people who hold grudges. As the saying goes, it is better to resolve a feud than to create one. How to make everyone live in harmony and ensure that many government orders are implemented smoothly depends on how well you, the peacemaker, do."

"If you want to become the most prestigious official in Qiushui County, start by being a peacemaker."

"Go back."

Upon hearing this, the six people subconsciously knelt down and kowtowed.

Seeing this, Liu Qinghua quickly greeted him, "No need to be polite. You have just started your journey. Don't take the old rules too seriously."

Huang Ping and the other six were confused, not knowing what Lord Qinghua's intention was, because they felt that it was an iron rule since ancient times for the people to kneel down to officials.

Meng Huai on the side tried to smooth things over and said, "What your Excellency meant is that now there is a lot of work to be done, and some red tape can be avoided if possible. As for rules and etiquette, you don't understand much either, so just do the practical work first, and study etiquette and rules in your spare time."

Huang Ping and the other six finally came to their senses. They bowed to Liu Qinghua very stiffly and left the temporary residence.

Liu Qinghua looked at Dugu Li and said softly, "Will you accompany me to travel around Qiushui County and see the mountains and waters here?"

For large-scale projects, it is necessary to observe the terrain of mountains and rivers in order to gather Feng Shui.

This is why Dugu Li came.

Even Meng Huai and Zong Liang were sighing at the good luck of Qiu Shui County, having a Taoist descendant of Xuanzong like Dugu Li personally give advice on Feng Shui. It should be noted that the Feng Shui layout of Hengchang Sect was also designed by Dugu Li, and even the Qiyun Tower was designed by Dugu Li.

Dugu Li said softly: "Okay."

The two girls smiled at each other, Zong Liang and Meng Huai made way, and in the blink of an eye, the two girls flew away with the wind and disappeared from people's sight.

Zong Liang said with emotion: "I am reminded of Gao Zhi, one of the Seven Laws. His arrangements in Boya County have now brought new life to the entire Dachun Prefecture, and the people there are gradually living a good life."

"Since Lady Dugu Li has arrived, I think it will really change the original terrain of Qiushui County."

Meng Huai smiled proudly and said, "Of course, although the number of talents in my Hengchang Sect is not large, they are all great talents."

Zong Liang said unhappily: "The one next to me is not considered a great talent for now."
