Chapter 337: The Female Assassin Appears
Today's Tucheng County, if you compare the streets, houses, or county mansions, there is still a gap with others.
But there is one thing in Tucheng County, which is not available in the prefectures and even in Kyoto, the most prosperous Kyoto in Daliang.
That's everyone, with a smile on their faces, they don't have a lot of income, so to speak, a little barren.
But the spirit is very full, as if full of expectations for the future life.
This kind of momentum is something that the ninth princess has never seen, and perhaps only the paradise recorded in the ancient sages has such a appearance.
Su Qi'an did several major things in Tucheng County that could not be done in the twelve states of Daliang.
Abolish slavery, all people, regardless of Liang people or natives, as long as they live in Tucheng County, they are equal.
Equality here refers to personality, dignity, at least each of them has the dignity of being a human being.
If you encounter some gentlemen and wealthy families and want to use their power to oppress people, there will naturally be county officials to deal with them.
was not oppressed, and Su Qi'an carried out a national literacy policy in Tucheng County.
Whether it is a child or an adult, they all have to read and write, and treat adults and the elderly, which may be a bit difficult for them.
But at least you have to know your own name, in Tucheng County, everyone has their own name.
This is looking at the other natives who were ruled by the priests, who did not have the right to have names at all, and were all the property of the priests, and to put it mildly, the priests wanted them to die, and they only needed one word.
When he first stepped into Jiaozhou Tucheng, he felt the rights of priests.
With just one word, the Liangmin who sold his body committed suicide, which made Su Qi'an feel very touched.
Therefore, the first thing he did after he ruled Tucheng County was to abolish this unfair system.
At the beginning of the implementation of these policies, they will be prevented by some scourges and local tycoons, who will secretly engage in sabotage.
But after saluting first and then soldiering, he caught a group of scourges that engaged in sabotage, and launched a public trial meeting, which shocked these wealthy and powerful people.
Treating these people, Su Qi'an did not beat them to death with a stick, and was willing to release the servants and stay with him to build Tucheng County, Su Qi'an welcomed them, and if he was unwilling and wanted to leave, Su Qi was not reluctant and let him go.
After solving the internal problems, with the implementation of various policies, and seeing Su Qi'an, the lord of the earth city, working with their own eyes, with them, low-level civilians.
Treat everyone very kindly, and when dealing with affairs, he is also right about things and not people, such a ruler, how not to let the people of Tucheng County like it, they have followed.
Under the notice of nearly half a year, they saw that Tucheng County was changing at an alarming speed.
The previously potholed and muddy roads are now at least stable, everyone has their own job, and they have all found the value of life.
For the development of Tucheng County, contribute their own strength, shine, and have a head, and the smile on his face naturally increases.
Su Qi'an was the best host they had ever met, none of them.
These are not Su Qi'an and the ninth princess boasting, but the ninth princess, through a few days of visits, saw with her own eyes that the people of Tucheng were living a good life, and came to the conclusion.
The people of Tucheng County live and work in peace and contentment, and the county is full of vitality and orderly development, which is what the ninth princess hopes that the people of Daliang can be like this, which is what she dreamed of.
But this kind of thought only stayed for a moment and then dissipated, and she admitted that Tucheng County, under the governance of Su Qi'an, had achieved the kind of paradise written in the book.
But this can only be implemented in Tucheng County, and as for other boundaries, it is absolutely impossible.
Tucheng County first belongs to Su Qi'an's private territory, and he can govern it however he wants, and it is difficult for others to interfere.
But looking at other states, the power of the powerful and wealthy families has reached the point where it is deeply entrenched, except for a few forbidden laws that they dare not violate, there is nothing else they dare not do.
From the imperial court to all walks of life, there is no shadow of powerful families.
Therefore, Su Qi'an's governance in Tucheng County is only an exception
, to promote the whole big cool, is not realistic at all.
Having said that, seeing Su Qi'an govern Tucheng County so well, she still admires it in her heart.
It is impossible for Su Qi'an to keep time with the ninth princess, except for the first few days, after the next seven or eight days, it is difficult for the ninth princess to see Su Qi'an's figure.
This is not Su Qi'an deliberately dodging, as the lord of a city, he also has his own things to be busy with.
A group of skilled craftsmen and management talents were transferred from Tucheng County to Yangliu County, and Su Qi'an is now busy cultivating new talents, so he naturally has no time to accompany the Nine Princesses.
The ninth princess did not complain, on the contrary, she took the eight guards and visited all parts of Tucheng County with great interest.
With the in-depth understanding, the ninth princess became more and more admired for Su Qi'an, not to mention anything else, the security of Tucheng County, that is called a good.
Basically, I don't see any robbery, let alone more serious murder.
This is a felony in Tucheng County, and there is basically no room for maneuver, and if a group is caught, they must be directly executed.
Along the way, from the county seat, down to the town, township, village and other places, there are patrol guards, in Su Qi'an's words, what are these people called militia.
They are all drawn from various towns, townships, and villages, mainly to protect the security of their own homes.
If you rely on patrol soldiers alone, Su Qi'an's five thousand soldiers are afraid that they will not be enough.
Therefore, Su Qi'an actively mobilized the people and asked them to form a patrol militia to protect their homes.
Their scale is according to the size of the locality, starting from the town, at the company level, the township is the platoon, and the village is the squad.
The three regiments of the three sub-cities to which they belong will periodically draw out a battalion and go to training, instruct, and station.
In this way, under the organization and management of the army and the people, unnecessary troops are not only eliminated, but also the enthusiasm of the people can be enhanced.
And some militiamen who perform well, after review, also have the opportunity to join the Dongshan Army.
It is this hope that has greatly strengthened the enthusiasm of everyone, and in Tucheng County, when it comes to the Dongshan Army, no one does not give a thumbs up.
That is their protector, and the Dongshan Army never disturbs the people, and strictly implements the three disciplines promulgated by Su Qi'an and Huang Wenyan.
With such an army that has always protected them, how can the people not welcome it, it is not an exaggeration to say that joining the Dongshan Army is the greatest wish of the local people.
This scene also made the ninth princess sigh, in other places, when it comes to the army, there is no one who is not afraid.
Even what some armies do, where is the army, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a group of bandits, and it is basically impossible to get the support of the people.
And in Tucheng County, the army and the people can be so close to each other, and the ninth princess is also the first time to see it.
During her visit to Tucheng County, the Ninth Princess also had a general understanding of Tucheng County.
She took the eight guards and came to a secluded mountain, which was not high, but she could see the general outline of Tucheng County in front of her.
From a distance, there is a sense of peace.
The ninth princess sighed, "It's the palace that underestimates him, I thought he would have a lot of difficulties in Jiaozhou, but now it's the palace that is too worried, Tucheng County has a master like him, it is indeed a blessing for the local people."
The eight guards behind him nodded in agreement, but after all, Lin Guards had experienced some things, and they thought about it a little longer than others.
He was silent for a while, and then spoke, "Your Royal Highness Princess, Marquis Su does have great talents, and he manages a county so well, but his subordinates can see that Marquis Su's purpose is far from this, if it is not bad, Marquis Su wants more than a small earthen city."
"If he waits until the momentum is strong, will he..."
Speaking of this, Lin Huwei didn't continue, but who the ninth princess was, how could he not know what he meant.
The Ninth Princess said, "Uncle Lin, I know your worries, I'm afraid that one day he has the strength to occupy a county, or even the entire Jiaozhou, will it affect the current Da Liang, and even threaten the current imperial power."
Lin Huwei didn't speak, he was silent, only the ninth princess could say this, he was not qualified to say it.
Feel the eight people behind you
Silent, the Ninth Princess shook her head and said, "Uncle Lin, don't forget, even if Jiaozhou loses Su Qi'an, how much of Jiaozhou can be under the jurisdiction of Da Liang?"
"Jiaozhou has been highly autonomous for many years, and who knows how much loyalty we have to the royal family."
"At this time, a Su Qi'an appeared and stirred up the situation in Jiaozhou, which is only good for us, not harmful, don't forget, his surname is Su, and he is a royal family."
"With his person, even on that day, he thinks that most of them are the people of Daliang, and such a person, if he suppresses it, it is the most stupid thing to do."
"This palace is here to Jiaozhou, and his father knows about it, so..."
Lin Huwei is a smart person, he can understand it at one point, and he instantly understands that in addition to worrying about Su Qi'an's safety when he came to Jiaozhou, there is a deeper meaning behind this.
And this is far away in the Imperial City of Kyoto, the layout of His Majesty.
Escort Lin had to sigh at the foresight of His Majesty and the Ninth Princess, and hurriedly said.
"My subordinates understand, Master Su is safe in Jiaozhou, and we will do our best to protect it."
The ninth princess nodded in satisfaction, looking at the peaceful Tucheng County in front of her, no one knew what she was thinking.
After a while, he left with Lin Huwei and others.
At the same time, less than sixty or seventy miles away from the border of Tucheng County, a black shadow passed through the dense forest.
Behind it, a large group of figures followed, apparently in pursuit.
Further behind these people, there were more people moving slowly, keeping a distance from those in front of them.
These people are soldiers, they are fully armed, not to chase people, but to protect someone.
Among them, there were two old acquaintances of Su Qi'an, and the two were none other than the county guard and high priest of Qingcheng.
Being able to get these two people out together is enough to show that something big has happened.
Three days earlier, they had received news that the assassin who had killed Su Qi'an had appeared on their territory.
Without any hesitation, they immediately made a decision and sent people to hunt down, they arrested this female assassin, not for Su Qi'an, but for his use.
Just kidding, there are very few assassins who can make Su Qi'an, such a person must be caught in whatever he says, even if he can't be used for it, he must not be left to Su Qi'an.
