Chapter 373: A Year Later
The state envoy didn't care about the worries of his henchmen, he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, with my friendship with Li Kang for more than ten years, it's not that because I speak for Su Qi'an, I don't trust me, and at most I'm dissatisfied."
"And what I said is not all standing here with Su Qi'an, there are also realistic plans, Li Kang wants to make a move against Su Qi'an at this time, it is very difficult, the plan has come to this point, for the sake of the final stability, the envoy can't leave for the time being."
The henchman nodded helplessly, a little puzzled, "I really don't understand, the state has made you in Jiaozhou for many years, and finally supported a Li Kang, seeing that things can be done, His Royal Highness just gave up Li Kang, and turned his head to let you assist Su Qi'an, this..."
Before the henchman's words were finished, he was stopped by a look from the state envoy, "If you don't want to die, it's better to say less in this way, Your Highness does this, there is a reason for him, we just need to do it."
"Our assistance is just assistance, whether Su Qi'an can defeat Li Kang in the end and ascend to Jiaozhou depends on whether he has the ability, Li Kang has been running Jiaozhou for many years, how many people want to bring him down, want to take him down, it's not so easy."
"If Su Qi'an loses, he can just adapt to the situation and continue to support Li Kang, if Li Kang is defeated, Su Qi'an will take the throne and give an explanation to His Highness, no matter who wins or loses, there is no loss for us."
"Okay, you guys keep a low profile during this time, wait for the summons of the envoy at any time, and wait and see what happens."
The henchmen were so made by the state, and they all nodded heavily, knowing that those words could be said and those words could not be said.
The henchman was silent for a while, and asked the last doubt in his heart, "My lord, let's wait and see what happens, if Su Qi'an doesn't do it for a long time, and has been developing silently, for four or five years, His Highness should not be able to wait, and I'm afraid that he will blame me and wait at that time."
The state envoy did not panic at all about this concern of his henchmen, he said, "Don't worry, I can't wait that long, with my understanding of Su Qi'an, it will be a year at long, and it will be half a year, and Su Qi'an will definitely declare war on Li Kang."
"Even if Su Qi'an is forbearant enough, Li Kang will definitely not give a few years to develop, and it is not Li Kang's style to do so, and then act according to the plan."
"I'll understand." The henchmen nodded, and the next moment, following the state envoy, disappeared into the forest.
Li Kang's sudden visit was a disappointment, Su Qi'an didn't care at all, the only thing was to give him a wake-up call and prepare the officials of the entire Qingcheng County.
Arrange for soldiers to patrol in the counties below the county to prevent some disturbances.
On the border around Qingcheng County, in addition to patrolling soldiers, there are also a large number of militia patrols in the nearby villages near the border, and mutual liaison stations have long been built between villages.
Once there is any wind and grass, the first time will be upward feedback, only to ensure the safety of the internal environment, in order to truly long-term stability.
As for cutting off all external ties with Qingcheng County, Su Qi'an had already been prepared.
This kind of severance of contact has already been experienced once as early as when Su Qi'an was managing Tucheng County.
Su Qi'an relied on self-sufficiency and self-reliance to break this siege.
Today, the entire county is in Su Qi'an's hands, and the total population of the entire county is at least five or six hundred thousand people.
If these people are used reasonably, Qingcheng County will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes.
I almost thought of it, and I went to do it.
As Su Qi'an's orders were issued, the people in the entire county all moved.
According to the task plan divided layer by layer, the renovation of roads, the construction of houses, the reclamation of wasteland, the construction of water conservancy projects, and the construction of various factory areas and shop areas have been started one after another.
Before, it was just a Tucheng County, or a county town, but now, the people of the entire Qingcheng County are mobilized.
From the sky, Qingcheng County is in full swing from the county seat to the county town and down to the towns and villages.
This scene has never been seen in the history of Qingcheng County.
can mobilize the enthusiasm of the people in the county, I am afraid that apart from Su Qi'an, I can't find a second one.
They can be so obedient, in addition to the leading role of Su Qi'an, the lord of Qingcheng County, on the one hand, it is more important
is that he is not doing these things for the sake of some powerful and wealthy lord, but for himself.
Only when the environment in which they live gets better, the place where they live and where they live will get better and better.
In this work, there are model workers selected every month, and model workers are not only an honor to affirm their own value, but also a spiritual symbol of national worship.
That feeling of satisfaction and respect from the heart is definitely not something that can be replaced by simple materials, and to put it mildly, if anyone in Qingcheng County can be rated as a model worker, it is the pride of the entire township and county.
Now, the people of the entire Qingcheng County know what an honor it is to be rated as a model worker.
In the powerful and wealthy families, the type of work that is regarded as a lowly occupation is the only one in Qingcheng County.
As the name of the model worker becomes more and more famous, in Qingcheng County, it can even be seen that some children of wealthy families are willing to go down to the grassroots level and do the profession they looked down on before.
This kind of practice of the children of wealthy families, whether it is for vanity or sincerely, Su Qi'an will not suppress ridicule, but will actively praise it.
Through labor, it is necessary to let the people of the entire county understand a truth, the construction of Qingcheng County is for themselves, this is their own homeland.
When the homeland is developed, his life will really get better, as for those in the county who have bad intentions and want to destroy, as well as some lazy people, Su Qi'an will not be polite.
First of all, it concentrated on education, but if education did not work, it was directly driven out of Qingcheng County.
With the blessing of this sense of belief, officials of all sizes and ordinary people are infected by this belief, and they are all devoted to the construction of Qingcheng County.
Just when the people of Qingcheng County, under the leadership of Su Qi'an, were in full swing, Li Kang, who returned to the state city, also took revenge.
As Su Qi'an thought, on the grounds that in order to repair the official roads leading to other counties, Qingcheng County was directly sealed, that is, cut off external contact.
During the road construction period, from time to time, some unemployed people and even bandits will sneak into Qingcheng County and engage in sabotage.
These Su Qi'an already had a way to deal with it, and everything was according to his plan.
As long as the stability of Qingcheng County can be stabilized, these small fights, Su Qi'an will put them aside for the time being.
His current focus is all on the development of Qingcheng County.
In the days to come, although there will be no large-scale friction outbreaks, there will always be some small harassments that will continue to infiltrate.
The two sides went back and forth like this, repeatedly acting, and in a flash, spring went to autumn, winter went to summer, and a year passed.
A year is not a long time, but it is a earth-shaking change for today's Qingcheng County.
In the entire Qingcheng County, the completion rate of the road leading from the county town to the subordinate counties, towns and townships has reached eighty percent.
Each of the seven counties has a large-scale water conservancy project, and the newly reclaimed wasteland area has reached the size of two counties.
The grain harvested in the new year is at least 20,000 stone in each county, and in the whole year of this year, the grain in Qingcheng County has reached an astonishing 180,000 stone.
This is the highest harvest in the history of Qingcheng County, exceeding the highest harvest year in the past, and it will be 80,000 stones.
Yangliu County, a major grain-producing county next door, is only 280,000 stone this year.
There is a big gap between the two sides, but the gap is more than 200,000 compared to previous years, and now it has more than doubled in one year.
It's something to be proud of, and a year's hard work is now paying off.
The people of Qingcheng County, without exception, were all filled with deep excitement.
Under the leadership of Su Qi'an, only Su Qi'an promised them that they would be rewarded if they paid.
This year's hard work has made everyone see hope and hope.
Everyone is busy with this year's harvest, but Su Qi'an, who is the highest authority, is listening to Wu Yong's report on the sidelines.
Wu Yong reported on Qingcheng County for a year, after being cut off from the outside world, the counties presented the border infiltration
Through the outbreak of riots.
Although Su Qi'an has a way to deal with it, this method is just a temporary measure, and after a long time, something will always happen.
Who would have thought that Li Kang's methods this time were so ruthless that he sealed Qingcheng County for a year.
Fortunately, Su Qi'an led by example and led the people of the county to become self-reliant.
But if you want to expand your development, you must develop externally after all, and at this time, there is one thing that makes Wu Yong quite dissatisfied.
On their harvest day in the new year, the state city sent a grain collector early, and spoke, each county levied 10,000 stone of grain, seven counties 70,000 stone, plus the county town added 30,000 stone, a total of 100,000 stone.
directly occupies more than sixty percent of this year's grain, if it weren't for Su Qi'an to stop it, Wu Yong would have fought with the grain collector a long time ago.
These people are really not called things, this is called requisitioning grain, this is called robbery, they were sealed for a year for no reason, at this time, they saw that their harvest was good, and they came down to grab grain, how could there be such a good thing in the world?
Regarding Wu Yong's complaints, Su Qi'an didn't say anything, and looked at the political report that was presented.
Suddenly, he asked, "How is the training of the Dongshan Army?" How much the weapons and equipment of the militias in the counties have been updated?"
These inexplicable words made Wu Yong a little confused, but he still answered truthfully.
"After a year of training, the strength of the Dongshan Army has basically reached its peak combat strength, and the weapons and equipment of the militias in each county have been replaced, about seventy percent."
The weapons and equipment of the militia are not of the latest type, but of the old equipment that was received from the Dongshan Army.
Even if it is old equipment, it is much stronger than the elite of the indigenous army.
Su Qi'an nodded thoughtfully, and said softly, "Give them 100,000 stone grain, but whether they can be transported back to the state city depends on whether they have that life."
"At the same time, inform the Dongshan Army and the county militia to be on first-class combat alert."
"Okay, I'll do it... What! Sir, First Class Combat Guard?"
Wu Yonggang nodded subconsciously, and suddenly he realized something, and raised his head violently, his face full of shock.
The first level of combat alert means that the whole army is mobilized to prepare for a big battle.
This battle was no less than the battle with the 50,000 army of the two elders a year ago, or even worse.
Su Qi'an did this, was he ready to go to war with Li Kang?
Wu Yong's face changed, he was not afraid, but more excited.
