As the saying goes, "Martial arts have Qi Xiao, literature has Su Guanying."

A good word is written with a good knife.

Jiang Wang was not familiar with either Shi Mingjuan or Su Guanying.

It seems that Shi Minghui once followed the emperor's order, together with Wen Yanyu and others, to specifically search for him in the Wumandu Mountains, so he barely had a romantic relationship.

As for Su Guanying, they had no contact at all before.

Before Jiang Wang was granted the title of Marquis, the two sides were not on the same level. Even if they were in Linzi, they saw different worlds.

His interactions with other court officials and the commander-in-chief of the Nine Soldiers were all by chance, and they basically came into contact through juniors.

When the Qi-Xia War ended, he became a marquis after the first battle, and he was able to participate in the political affairs hall meetings. He was often called out by the emperor to stand in front of him, and he had the opportunity to sit down and discuss matters with the high-level officials of the empire. However, Su Guanying was already stationed in Xia Di at that time.

The current garrison in the entire Xia region is composed of one hundred thousand Wintermute troops as the main force, supplemented by two hundred thousand county soldiers transferred from Qi region, and a new army of five hundred thousand Xia people.

Each prefecture only maintained the strength of its troops to maintain public order, and the rest of the Xia army was disbanded, disarmed and returned to the fields.

The huge military expenditures reduced were all used for construction.

The entire summer land has officially entered the stage of recuperation.

Throughout the Qi-Xia War, Xia Ting first abandoned Fengjie, and then the entire Eastern Front. Finally, Anle Bosi came back to cause trouble and destroy the world (the nominal culprit was King Wu Sijiao), which caused the Xia Kingdom to suffer from a thousand-year-old crisis in the people's hearts.

, almost disappeared in one day.

The Xia people sincerely loved their country and supported their emperor, and they responded to every call during the Patriotic War, but their hearts were broken by Xia Ting.

"There are few people who remember Si's family, and they gnash their teeth when they do."

Almost all the princes and princes of the Xia Kingdom were killed. Shenwu and Zhenwu, the two most powerful armies of the country, were all defeated. Millions of soldiers were driven around and killed on the land of Xia Kingdom, giving up again and again...

In addition, the former King Min of Daxia and the current Qi State Shangqing Yu Liyang were in the middle to mediate.

Qi's post-war rule of Xia Di was actually relatively easy. All the problems had been eliminated in advance during the war.

Cao Jiushi fought a complete war to destroy the country.

Emperor Qi ordered the major renovation of the tomb of Emperor Xia Xiang, and wrote a memorial tribute to him, calling him the "Eternal Emperor". He was granted the title of Marquis of Anle, and his successor was Si Cheng. He named the deity "Nan Xiangjun" and respected him as the patron saint of Xia.

, offering incense and encouraging the people of Xia to offer sacrifices.

He also pardoned all the civil and military officials of Xia Fang from their crimes, saying that "there is no guilt in defending the land."

He also exempted the Xia land from taxes for ten years so that the land could be rested and the people could support themselves.

Such a lenient policy not only won the hearts of the people, but also greatly reduced the resistance of the people in Xia Di.

"To intimidate them, to suppress them with force, and to use leniency to help them." These twelve words of the southern Xinjiang policy proposed by Su Guanying have resulted in almost no major civil unrest in Xia since the end of the war.

Of course, small-scale resistance will always have its ups and downs, and this is normal.

In Su Guanying's political philosophy, "It is like a pool of spring water, with a few ripples, which is exactly the sign of vitality."

This was something she acquiesced in and even condoned.

It was in this small-scale ups and downs without any threat that she surveyed the entire southern Xinjiang. In the process of calming down the waves again and again, she strengthened the identity of the people in Xia Di and divided the "enemy" and "us".

Compared with the governance of Xia Di, what is more difficult to deal with is actually the relationship with Chu State.

Entering the Southern Territory, you will become close neighbors with the Overlord.

However, Qi State only sent two real people to guard Xia Di, which itself was an unintentional confrontational attitude. Qi State did not intend to make a voice in the Southern Territory, let alone challenge Chu State's hegemony in the Southern Territory. Therefore, it is still possible for now.

calm.

Chitan is an ancient and mysterious place located two hundred miles west of Guiyi City.

The Emperor of Qi conferred the title of Marquis Wu'an on Chitan because of Marquis Wu'an's achievements in suppressing Huishui. In the past, during the Great Yan period, Huishui was controlled by the Lian family.

Now thousands of years have passed, the honors of the Lian family of Dayan are no longer there, and Chitan is only a deserted ancient pool.

After Jiang Wang became a marquis, although he came to Xia Land, the construction of the mansion here had already begun. It is worth mentioning that the construction labor was not contracted. All reconstruction work in Nanxia was done by the Nanxia Governor's Mansion.

Got money.

It’s called “work-for-relief”.

Construction activities, including city walls, water conservancy, etc., are themselves making up for the wounds of the war. People have jobs, food and clothing, so they are less likely to cause chaos. The unified scheduling of large-scale projects can also help the people of Xia Di get used to it as soon as possible.

The rule of Qi Ting.

Only half a year had passed. When Jiang Wang arrived in Xia Di again, the scene of raging wars and shattered mountains and rivers seemed so long ago that it seemed like it happened many years ago.

The bullock carts coming from Linzi swaggered through the city, and everywhere they saw it was a lively scene. The people they met on the road did not say anything about welcoming them, and it was rare to see any hostility.

Su Guanying's political ability is evident.

Daqi is full of talented people, and no one who can be listed in the Political Affairs Hall or the Military Affairs Hall is just a freeloader.

After the war, this was the first time Jiang Wang came to his fiefdom, and it was hard not to say hello to the Governor of Nanxia.

So Lianque and the others were asked to go to Chitan first, while he took an ox cart alone and drove into Guiyi, heading straight to the Nanxia Governor's Mansion.

Faced with such a real feudal lord with a household of 3,000 households, the Governor-General's Office would certainly not neglect him.

Su Guanying even put aside a supervisory meeting and came to entertain Jiang Wang in person.

Seeing the crimson governor's uniform from a distance, Jiang Wang hurried forward: "How dare you bother Governor Su to greet you?"

In terms of actual power, Su Guanying, who is now the governor of the Xia Kingdom, can almost be regarded as the most powerful frontier official in Qi State.

Before meeting her, Jiang Wang thought that Su Guanying should have a dashing appearance and a stern look like Jiang Wuyou. But after meeting her, he discovered that she was actually quite soft and graceful, with thin eyebrows and soft eyes, slender and soft.

He doesn't appear to be a powerful person, but rather weak.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, that feeling of weakness was instantly wiped away. She was still soft, but like clouds floating in the sky, and the world had to look up.

"The Marquis of Wu'an was granted a title in southern Xinjiang, but he has not returned for many months. The governor had prepared a fine cup of tea, but it boiled for several times and only the lingering fragrance remained in the cup. It was shocking!" She seemed to be smiling but not smiling, standing in the courtyard, as if she were here.

Beyond this world.

"Jiang is frightened." Jiang Wang lowered his posture: "I can't help myself, and there are twists and turns. I heard the name of Su Du a long time ago, and I am lucky to see him today!"

Su Guanying smiled softly and said sideways: "Please!"
