At the same time, the construction of the road from Yinshan Fucheng to the southern Gaoshan people's settlement area has also started, for this project, the Gaoshan people have shown a high degree of enthusiasm, it seems that they also know how important this road is to the development of the Gaoshan people, many Gaoshan people and even the whole family went to the construction site together, their enthusiasm greatly promoted the progress of the project construction, it is expected that the road from Yinshan Fucheng to the southern plain will be completed in less than half a year, It takes about a year to get to their mountainside settlement.

Under the impetus of Qin Du, the Northwest Chamber of Commerce was soon established, and the merchants elected Sima Yuan, who was close to Qin Duan, as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce also standardized all aspects of the merchants' behavior, and also provided a place for Qin Dui to realize some of his intentions. For example, it is possible to strengthen trade with the Gaoshan people, and to promote investment and construction of factories in the southern part of the northwestern county and the western Gaoshan people's areas.

It was already mid-May after Qin Du put all the qiē on the right track, and the situation in the Northwest County was completely under control in his own hands. In the meantime, although information was sent from the Tokugawa Express every two days, Qin Duan was still a little relieved.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

When Qin Dui was packing his luggage and preparing to return to the Tokugawa Mansion the next day, a pretty figure appeared in Qin Dui's study.

Seeing the beautiful girl in front of him, the unforgettable night last year came back to Qin Dui's mind. With chestnut hair, bright eyes, delicate face, and bulging twin peaks under the jacket, I can't see that I haven't seen her for more than a year, this little girl has matured a lot.

When he learned that Qin Du would return to Tokugawa tomorrow, Sima Qingqing was extremely disappointed, "I just came back, and you have to leave Yinshan." Are you hiding from me? ”

"Where, I've already scheduled to go back to Tokugawa tomorrow, what's the matter, Jiangnan has a good time, right?"

Qin Duan had already learned that this little girl had left Northwest County with his father to contact Jiangnan for business years ago and traveled by the way, but Qin Duan was very disappointed at that time, he didn't expect this girl to come back so soon.

"Jiangnan is really good. The scenery is picturesque and the weather is good, but I still want to come back. Sima Qingqing was obviously in a bad mood because Qin Duan was leaving.

"Oh, is there anyone missing you at home?"

I also laughed and teased her with words. Sima Yuan obviously supported his granddaughter to get close to him, although he knew that Qin Duan already had many women, but he didn't care if he was far-sighted, not to mention which dignitary on the mainland was not three wives and six concubines? Not to mention a young man like Qin Duan, who has an unlimited future.

"Phew!"

Sima Qingqing's white and tender cheeks flushed with a hint of redness, and he saw that Qin Duan's heart was fluttering, "As soon as they come back." You're leaving, and you're still here talking east to west. ”

"Alas, who told you to come back so late, I've been in Northwest County for more than a month, and if I don't go back, I don't know what will happen to Tokugawa County." Qin Du explained to Sima Qingqing gently.

"Hmph, don't think I don't know, it's not that someone in Tokugawa is waiting for you. Why haven't you seen you for a few days, and you can't bear it? "The words are full of a strong vinegar smell." People have long wanted Tokugawa to come to you, but grandpa always said that you were too busy and asked me not to disturb you, so they had to go to Jiangnan with my father to play. As soon as I come back, I'll be here, and you'll have to leave again. ”

I couldn't see that this little girl still had such deep feelings, and Qin Du was also a little confused. I remember that when I left, this little girl didn't even say hello, why did she suddenly fall in love so much? It doesn't matter if she's real or not, but looking at the dizzying look in her eyes, it doesn't look like a fake.

"I know. You don't believe it, but people are like ghosts and can't forget you since that night, who makes you so proud, people invite you to dance, you have to push back? ”

Looking at her twitching shoulders, Qin Duan couldn't bear it, it was a trap and he recognized it, and gently took her into his arms, and a refreshing fragrance came to his nose. However, just as Qin Dui's hands were about to take her into his arms, Sima Qingqing took out of Qin Dui's hands with a light twist.

"Shame, shame, big color ~ wolf, I just want to take advantage of others."

With a smile on his face, where was there still a trace of sadness, Qin Duan couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, the wind and waves were coming, but he didn't expect to capsize in the small river ditch. Although Qin Duan was absolutely sure that he would catch Sima Qingqing, what was the use of catching him, wouldn't it be no different from a villain.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Duan suppressed the desire ~ fire that had already sprung up in his heart, practicing this "King Kong Jue" is good for anything, that is, the desire ~ desire of this man and woman is always very strong.

"Oh? It turns out that Qingqing is teasing me, and I originally wanted to invite you to Tokugawa with me, but it seems that I was self-inflicted. Qin Dui still had a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.

"Are you angry?" Sima Qingqing carefully examined Qin Duan's face, but she couldn't see anything abnormal, she asked cautiously.

"What are you angry about?" Although he gritted his teeth in his heart, Qin Duan at least pretended not to care on the surface.

"Can I really go to Tokugawa with you? Will my grandfather say that I will influence you to do things? "She really wanted to go to Tokugawa-gun with me.

Qin Duan secretly swore in his heart that if I don't conquer this girl, I won't be surnamed Qin, but on the surface, Qin Duan still smiled kindly: "Of course it's true, don't you want to go?" When the time comes, I'll go and tell your grandfather to go. ”

"Really? That's great, I'll go back and get ready right away! Sima Qingqing couldn't help but cheer.

Looking at her disappearing back, Qin Duan couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, it seems that this is really not easy to pick for Sima Qingqing.

After arranging for Zhuge Fang to temporarily preside over the administrative work of Tokugawa County and Li Daring to take charge of the defense work, Qin Duan specially instructed Li Daring and Shangguan Yonglun to step up the training of the troops in the Northwest Prefecture, especially the Fifth Division under Luo Chen's responsibility, not only to strive to form combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time, but also to make good ideological preparations for fighting evil battles, tough battles, and big battles.

In addition, Qin Duan also told Zhuge Fang to deal with the problem of the Gaoshan people flexibly, especially now that the Gaoshan people have entered the southern and central plains in large numbers, it is necessary to make rational plans, and establish local grass-roots governments as much as possible, so that the jurisdiction covers the entire Yinshan, and in the appointment of grass-roots government officials, some capable Gaoshan people can be appropriately appointed, especially the grass-roots political power institutions established in the southern and western areas where they live. As for the quality of these personnel, they can be gradually improved through various learning and training in their future work.

On June 3, the fifteenth year of the Apocalypse, Qin Dui, accompanied by the Pro-Guard Brigade led by Liu Si, returned to Tokugawa Prefecture, which had been away for more than three months.

Originally, Qin Duan wanted to stay for a while, but Zhuge Fang and Li Daring quickly entered the role, and the army training was impressive, and both the local soldiers in the Northwest County and the soldiers of the Gaoshan clan were very supportive and cooperative, which made Qin Duan change his mind, and let Zhuge Fang and Li Daring be in charge alone, and they could also exercise and train the two, not to mention that Zhuge was still in charge there.

Psychologically, it seems that Tokugawa County is more prosperous and lively than when Qin Dui left, when Qin Dui entered Fucheng with the army, he was spontaneously welcomed by the people of Tokugawa Prefecture, and the enthusiastic scene made Qin Dui unable to calm down for a long time, I didn't expect that I had only been away for more than three months, and I would actually see such an exciting scene, Tokugawa County has indeed become a place that I can't forget and lack in Qin Dusk.

So much so that in his later years, Qin Duan, the founding emperor of the Great Chinese Empire, lived directly in Tokugawa County and did not leave, and even completed the last part of his glorious life in Tokugawa County.

In just 100 days, more than 700,000 people have moved into Tokugawa County, and the total population of Tokugawa County has exceeded the 4 million mark, and the number of businessmen who have come to invest in business has continued to increase, and the entire economy is running well.

The construction of urban municipal facilities is also becoming more and more perfect, the auxiliary facilities of urban defense construction, the sewage facilities of urban residents, and the reconstruction and expansion of streets have all been completed one after another, and even the greening projects between the streets have begun to be gradually improved.

As early as after Qin Dui entered the Northwest County, Qin Dui Yuzhu succeeded Zhuge Fang as the director of the Tokugawa Prefecture Intelligence Agency, this Qin Dui's beauty dog, during the day is the director of the Tokugawa County Intelligence Agency, and at night is Qin Dui's favorite beauty dog, this contrast of identity, so that Qin Dui is particularly excited, and at the same time ordered her to step up the collection of intelligence on the Huns and the Empire, and prepare for the upcoming war in the second half of the year.

Li Hua's work in the War Readiness Administration is also quite outstanding, the construction of the military horse farm has begun to take shape, and some nomadic people who are skilled in breeding have also been recruited, and the work of cultivating war horses has also been gradually launched.

In accordance with Qin Duan's requirements, the army also launched a large-scale military training and a large-scale martial arts competition, and strived to select and tap some talented people from among the grass-roots soldiers to serve as grass-roots officers through such methods as training and competition.

Qin Duan looked at the briefing on the situation for more than a month, and in general, it should be very satisfactory to Qin Duan. But there is also a worrying side. As the financial situation continued to deteriorate, Tokugawa Prefecture's finances, which had been backed by a large amount of money, were also in trouble, and the fiscal reserves had reached a low figure close to the warning line.

At present, due to the implementation of the tax reduction policy, the fiscal revenue is almost blank, except for some transit tariffs (there is no exemption from transit goods tariffs in the revival plan, but in order to attract popularity, Liang Qiming still adjusts the transit tariffs of goods to a fairly low level, far lower than the level of other places). In addition, there is no other income, and the expansion of the army, the construction of urban defense facilities, infrastructure (streets, roads, municipalities, farmland and water conservancy facilities, etc.), small loans for early immigrants, and administrative and military expenditures are like a black hole that cannot be filled, swallowing up a large amount of money.
