Sheng Fu

Chapter 893 The Prime Minister is also ordinary
Qiushui County.

The autumn rain was drizzling. Lord Qiu Qing leaned out of the window. At the end of his sight, he saw that the city wall of Qiu Shui County had not been completely completed, but it already exuded a proud spirit. There were already scattered laborers and craftsmen working in corners that were not reached by the autumn rain.

This carriage is not considered luxurious, it is just a carriage used by ordinary wealthy families.

The only difference from the carriages of wealthy families is that the war horses pulling the carriage are two dragon-scale horses.

Around the carriage, two groups of light cavalry drove away.

Many years ago, Qiu Qing had been to Qiu Shui County, and his only impression of the county was poverty.

Later, when he became prime minister, he also thought about revitalizing Qiu Shui County. However, the resources available in Qiu Shui County were too few, and it was impossible to improve the lives of the people through some policy adjustments.

"Yuwen Jun is truly a talented person." Qiu Qing muttered to herself.

Around, Panlong's spies had already discovered Lord Qiu Qing's carriage. When the carriage was about to officially enter Qiu Shui County, Meng Huai and Zong Liang appeared in Lord Qiu Qing's sight.

The sound of the wheels rolled slowly, and arrived near the two men. They both bowed deeply and said in unison: "Greetings, Prime Minister."

Qiu Qing responded from inside the car: "No need to be polite. You two are both talented people. You don't have to get wet in the rain for an old man like me."

Meng Huai and Zong Liang looked at each other. They both knew that the Prime Minister was approachable, but they didn't expect him to be so simple.

The carriage did not stop, but passed through the rain and entered Qiu Shui County.

Meng Huai and Zong Liang followed closely behind.

"Lord Qinghua and Dugu Li are fighting and are patrolling the outskirts of Qiu Shui County. I'm afraid they won't be able to arrive for a while." Zong Liang said nervously.

After all, he is the Prime Minister. If you neglect him, the crime can be serious or minor.

In terms of reputation alone, there is probably no one among the human officials who can compete with Qiu Qing.

Qiu Qing smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry about it. I don't care about these red tapes."

"If I cared, I wouldn't have come to Qiushui County."

Only then did Meng Huai and Zong Liang feel relieved.

Having lived in the imperial capital for many years, this was the first time Qiu Qing had to travel far away on business when he was older. The distance from the imperial capital to Qiu Shui County was also the longest road Qiu Qing had traveled in these years.

But when he recalled the past, he was alone, walking in the world. At that time, the Prime Minister was still a poor teenager, and often had no food to eat.

But people were really happy at that time, seeing mountains as mountains and water as water.

Although I do not have the ability to help some poor families, and sometimes I even receive favors from them, I always feel that there is hope for the future and that there will be a bright and wonderful future.

Nowadays, riding in a carriage all the way north, the scenery I see doesn’t seem to have changed much compared to the past, except that many people have died of old age, and young people have straightened their backs and are living between heaven and earth.

The mountains never get old, but people get old...

Time is unforgiving. No matter whether you were poor or rich when you were young, you always want to cry when you recall the past when you are old.

Before I knew it, I arrived outside this temporary residence.

Meng Huai opened the carriage curtain for the Prime Minister. Qiu Qing slowly got out of the car and took a look at this temporary mansion. Although the foundation was not solid, it was generally decent. It had a little bit of carved beams and painted buildings, but only a little bit.

"It will probably take another hour for those two adults to return," Zong Liang reminded.

Qiu Qing smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry about it. I know that girl Liu Qinghua, but I don't know Dugu Li very well. But I have heard that there is a Taoist Xuanzong descendant under Yu Wenjun's command."

"You can rest assured that I have time to stay in Qiushui County this time."

“Don’t worry about my charter being too tight.”

As they talked, the group entered the inner courtyard. Meng Huai quickly served tea and water, and Zong Liang quickly brought a chair for Qiu Qing. The two of them had never thought that they would be able to serve the Prime Minister so closely in their lifetime.

Bai Xiaowei is also the Prime Minister, but there are some differences between the deputy prime minister and the real prime minister.

Zong Liang had also heard about some interesting stories and style of Lord Qiu Qing from Bai Xiaowei.

Bai Xiaowei was truly impressed by Lord Qiu Qing.

Everyone in the court, even those who had complaints about Lord Qiu Qing, were convinced by him.

The tea aroma is rich. The tea here is either Wannianchun tea or Longquan Qiushui tea. Its quality is naturally much higher than the tea in that shabby Prime Minister’s Mansion.

Qiu Qing took a sip and thought that Yu Wenjun was a person who knew how to enjoy life, and his like-minded friends were also people who knew how to enjoy life.

What a group of young people in their prime do is extremely beautiful.

The older generation does not hate young people who spend lavishly, they just hate young people who spend lavishly without any ability.

When Qiu Qing thought of this, he also felt a little ironic.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Because when he was young he also wanted to spend lavishly, and he envied those young people who had the money to do so, but as a teenager Qiu Qing was never able to do so.

It's a bit regretful.

Every time she saw Yu Wenjun, Qiu Qing felt from the bottom of her heart how great it was to be young and to be rich.

Especially since Yuwen Jun recently conquered Taicang City and Shuangyue City, he could be extravagant at the celebration banquet.

Such a joyful moment was what Qiu Qing had always dreamed of.

Qiu Qing had never had such a happy moment. Even now, Qiu Qing still envied Yu Wenjun.

Yu Wenjun lived the life that Qiu Qing had always wanted to live.

"How is life like for the hard-working craftsmen who built Qiu Shui County?" Qiu Qing suddenly asked.

There are many beautiful cares and concerns in the world.

But those beautiful care and attention are out of reach for ordinary people living at the bottom of society. There are actually many men in the world who have to face a cold stove when they return home after a day of hard work, but they have been deliberately forgotten.

Meng Huai bowed his head and said, "The lives of the coolies are pretty good. There are five people at a table, three dishes and one soup. There is meat for lunch. This is also specially instructed by Master Qinghua."

"We also go hunting occasionally to find some game to improve the lives of the coolies and craftsmen."

Zong Liang also bowed his head and replied: "Lord Bai Xiaowei is very concerned about the lives of the coolies and craftsmen at the bottom. Occasionally, he will select some hard-working but capable men and give them a reward."

"But these kinds of things are done in private. If we make them public, we are worried that many coolies will work hard to get the reward money, regardless of the cost, and easily exhaust themselves."

"All the necessary humanistic care has been provided."

"Moreover, many northern noble families would curry favor with Meng Huai and often send him some daily necessities."

Meng Huai is the future princess of Qiu Shui County.

Although his qualifications are not enough, Bai Xiaowei is a man of his ability, so he naturally has a way to make Meng Huai's qualifications sufficient. However, if it were someone like Qiu Qing, he would probably not bend the rules for Meng Huai, but would choose to promote him by force in an upright manner.

Hearing this, Qiu Qing nodded with relief and said, "That's good."

"The people are the foundation, but unfortunately the people have never been great."

“I was once a commoner with nothing.”
