The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1145 Work? Marriage? No, get married on the way to work [Subscription*Monthly Ticket Request]

"Who in the family understands? Thinking about the boss's wedding, I specially arranged time to take a day off to join in the fun, but in the end I was asked a lot of official questions, given a lot of advice, and even had to issue a military order..."

The county governors all turned green in the face.

You're trying to flatter someone but end up hitting their leg.

On the wedding day, Beiye Royal City was still very festive.

Although An Qisheng wanted to keep a low profile, there is no wall that is impenetrable.

When the people of Beiye Royal City learned about their prime minister's wedding, they spontaneously held a banquet to celebrate.

When the bride's motorcade was moving along the main road of the royal city, the people along the street spontaneously presented freshly picked flowers. Although they were not expensive, they were indeed spontaneous.

“To judge whether an official is honest and capable, we should not look at his appearance or what he has done, but what he has brought to the people!”

The Qin spies were all sighing.

They were responsible for keeping an eye on An Qisheng, but after seeing this situation, he didn't want to do it anymore.

The prime minister of a country had a low-key wedding, and the people of the whole city spontaneously congratulated him and covered the ground with flowers.

It is no wonder that Bingzhou was able to leap from a barren, deserted place to one of the only two remaining empires in China today.

"Congratulations, Prime Minister!" The Yunzhong County Magistrate smiled and came to An Qisheng's carriage to congratulate him.

As the governor of the county closest to Bingzhou, the governor of Yunzhong was the last one to arrive.

Because he leaves early in the morning and arrives in the afternoon, there is no need to rush.

More importantly, it is close to the royal city, so he has more opportunities to interact with An Qisheng, and is more familiar with An Qisheng's style of doing things.

"Yunzhong has been slack under your rule over the years!" An Qisheng said calmly.

The Yunzhong County Magistrate's face froze, "I shouldn't have come here!"

"As the acropolis of the Beiye Royal City, Yunzhong is an important place in the capital. It should have been the second most economically developed city in Bingzhou, second only to the Royal City. But now Yunzhong is gradually being overtaken by Hetao and Dunhuang. Even Loufan, Juyanze, and Liucheng are catching up. If you don't work hard, how long can you stay in the second place?"

An Qisheng asked back with a hint of disappointment.

The Yunzhong County Magistrate felt ashamed, but he couldn't express his grievances in words.

Yunzhong was originally the largest city on the grassland, but the establishment of Beiye Royal City took away too many people, talents, merchants, and nobles.

To put it simply, the Beiye Royal City drained away all the original resources in the clouds.

Because of the development of Hetao, Hetao is known as the paradise on the frontier. It has the absolute support of Bingzhou and all affairs are reported directly to the royal city. How can it not develop?

As for Dunhuang, it is the largest border trade city in the world today and the first city between Qin and the United States. The first stop for trade between the Thirty-Six Kingdoms in the Western Regions and even the Far West is Dunhuang Yumen Pass. Border trade is well developed, which is a locational factor.

But he could not refute the fact that he was surpassed by other cities.

"Tomorrow I want to see your development plan for Yunzhong in the next five years!" An Qisheng continued.

"Yes!" The Yunzhong County Magistrate regretted why he came here.

Wouldn't it be better to just stay still and lie flat in the clouds?
It is said that being an official in the capital is difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, it is not as difficult as being an official in the important city of the capital like him.

The royal city sucked them dry, and they didn't have the privilege of being close to the water and getting the moon first, so it was very difficult to deal with.

According to the five-year development plan, who knows what Hetao and Dunhuang will look like in five years.

It’s like all the excellent people are working hard, but are your efforts still useful?
If he had any choice, he would like to transfer out of Yunzhong County and find another county to stay in.

"Tell me what you think first!" An Qisheng had no intention of letting the Yunzhong County Magistrate leave just like that.

"I..." Yunzhong County Magistrate had a depressed look on his face. If he had a good idea, he would have done it long ago. But he didn't!
Yunzhong has nothing. The reason why Yunzhong County exists is because the State of Zhao wanted to plant a nail on the grassland. It is a strategic location, so they built a city here.

Even now, the significance of Yunzhong's existence is more military than economic. Yunzhong is the acropolis of the royal city and the garrison of the Yulin Guard.

"Good at defending the status quo, but not at advancing forward!" An Qisheng sighed. When he was selected as the governor of Yunzhong County, military capability was the priority, so it was understandable that he was not good at developing the economy.

"Who is the richest person in Yunzhong?" An Qisheng asked as a reminder.

"Soldiers of the Yulin Guard!" The Yunzhong County Magistrate knew this.

The salary of the Yulin Guard is high, and many of the selected candidates are descendants of nobles and from good families, so the money is not small.

"You also come from a military background. Under what circumstances do you think these people would spend money?" An Qisheng continued to remind them.

The Yunzhong County Magistrate thought that for these soldiers who spent their days training all the time, the most attractive things to them, apart from weapons, armor and horses, were food and drink.

However, weapons, armor, and war horses are all one-time transactions. Unless there is a major war, there will rarely be any losses.

It can't develop sustainably.

Looking at the Yunzhong County Magistrate in deep thought, An Qisheng was still a little disappointed.

"As Taoism says, yin and yang are in harmony!"

"These young and experienced soldiers go out to vent their anger. You can ask the Protector-General of the Western Regions to import some Hu girls and Hu wine from the Western Regions and further west. Then, you can ask the Commander of the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Censor to buy the wives and daughters of the convicted officials from them..."

An Qisheng didn't say anything more.

“This…” The Yunzhong County Magistrate widened his eyes.

This requires him to build Yunzhong County into the most romantic city in Bingzhou.

It's not just a pavilion or a building, it's a city!

If An Qisheng's plan was really followed, Yunzhong County would have to be renamed Fengyue City.

"The Yulin Guards are the emperor's personal guards and must be under the control of His Majesty at all times. Rather than letting others take advantage of them, it is better to keep them in the hands of His Majesty!" An Qisheng said seriously.

The soldiers of the Yulin Guard are young and energetic, and they train all the time. Apart from their extraordinary martial arts and military skills, they are a blank slate in other aspects and can be easily be deceived by people with ulterior motives.

But if Yunzhong City was changed into the most romantic city, these soldiers, who are used to seeing the most beautiful women and splendor in the world, would they still be bewitched?
What's more, brothels are also the best places to get information.

Once the Yunzhong County Magistrate submits this plan, the Censorate and the Embroidered Uniform Guard will be very interested.

As long as Yunzhong County is famous enough, it will not only attract wealthy people from Bingzhou, but also officials from Qin State.

It’s just that as the governor of Yunzhong County, his reputation is not very good.

"I will go back and think about it!" The Yunzhong County Magistrate still did not agree.

If he really does it, his reputation will be ruined.

It is not an exaggeration to say that everyone is criticizing him.

"Go!" An Qisheng did not force it.

This requires people to do it, but personal wishes should be respected.

The Yunzhong County Magistrate left, but there were other people who came forward and were pulled one by one by An Qisheng to understand the work and then given corresponding instructions.

"Is this my husband? Are you really going to find time to get married?" The two sisters were shocked as they looked through the car window at the officials who were leaving the carriage in front of them one by one in a listless manner.

Is this a marriage on the way to work?
