Seven or eight days of travel, there were no obstacles along the way, and it was very soon to arrive.

When stepping into the boundary of Nanzhou, Su Qi'an could obviously feel the difference with Jiaozhou.

According to Xie Cang, the whole territory of Nanzhou is divided into twelve counties, and each county has only a county guard, and there is no so-called priest.

The remnants of the priests in Nanzhou were divided into two counties by Gu Hua to live, and in order to commend the priests who took the initiative to surrender, the county guards and county orders of the two counties were basically served by their internal personnel.

It seems to be autonomous, but it will still be subject to the supervision of the Nanzhou pastor.

So, basically, in Nanzhou, you can't see the so-called priests, leading their natives to occupy a land, and even competing with the state pastor, county guard, and county magistrate.

In Nanzhou, whether it is an official or a local soldier, there is only one standard, and that is to follow the law of Daliang.

Being able to peacefully coexist with the local Liang people and natives, and even these natives consider themselves to be the people of the Great Liang Dynasty, in this regard, is much better than the era of Li Kang's rule.

In Nanzhou, you can see that among some powerful families, the patriarchs are all natives, and the establishment of these big family families was established by these indigenous ancestors.

It can be said that except for the difference in skin color, the others are no different from the cool people.

If you want to do this, you can't do without the management of the Nanzhou pastor in the past dynasties, if you want Li Kang to be like this, stirring up the relationship between the indigenous people and the Liang people, he will sit behind the back and reap the benefits of the fisherman, it is he who is cheap, but it is the entire Jiaozhou that loses power.

The place where Su Qi'an is staying now is the border county of Nanzhou, which is called Lingyang County.

Among the twelve counties in Nanzhou, Lingyang County has a high development and is considered good, ranking in the fifth or sixth place.

But he has one of the biggest advantages, it is the closest to Nanzhou City, because Nanzhou City is built in the north of Lingyang County, as long as you go all the way to the north and walk out of Lingyang County, you can reach the central state city of Nanzhou.

This news surprised Su Qi'an, and built the state city close to the border county, and Nanzhou was the first.

Not to mention anything else, just Jiaozhou City, his location is well protected by the surrounding four or five counties.

It will definitely not be built in a border county like Nanzhou, and being able to do so is a reason for having confidence.

It is equivalent to giving a signal to the outside world that Nanzhou is not afraid of anyone's invasion, and the state city is built in a border county, and there is a tendency to guard the border.

It seems dangerous, but on the other hand, it gives a very strong encouragement to the surrounding counties.

The state city can be on the border, and as an important border county, what are they?

Of course, all of this has to be built on, its own strength is very strong, if you want to Jiaozhou, Xizhou, most of them will be easily attacked.

In the twelve counties of Nanzhou, in addition to the 70,000 Nanzhou soldiers, there are also militias similar to those organized by Su Qi'an in each county, which they call the people's army in Nanzhou.

In peacetime, it is for the people, and in wartime, it is for the army.

This slogan has been shouted in Nanzhou for many years, and it can be said that it has penetrated into the hearts of every people.

Su Qi'an and the others did not stay in Lingyang County for long, and after a simple meeting with the local county guard, under the leadership of Xie Cang, their army continued to move north, heading towards Nanzhou City.

More than ten days of rushing have been experienced, and the next half day is nothing.

Su Qi'an looked very relaxed, and his eyes swept all the way, as if he was inspecting.

There is no need for Xie Cang to deliberately introduce it, Su Qi'an can probably guess what the state of Nanzhou is when he looks at the people living in the county, county, and streets.

Nanzhou should be among the states that Su Qi'an has seen, no matter which way you look at it, it can be ranked first.

Even if it is the capital, it is not necessarily comparable to it, of course, this kind of ranking is not based on how prosperous and prosperous the state city is.

If you compare these, no one can compare to Kyoto, but these things, at least about eighty percent, are in the hands of the powerful people of the family, and have nothing to do with the people at the bottom.

This phenomenon is common in all states, but like Nanzhou, although there are some arrogant and arrogant local families, compared with other states, it is significantly less.

On the streets, you can see the children of the family, most of them Eli

convince people, and will never do anything evil to bully men and women.

This is something that Su Qi'an can't see in other states, even if it is his Jiaozhou, it was only after he defeated Li Kang that he spent a lot of effort to rectify it, and it began to gradually improve.

And Nanzhou, a subordinate state that has been ruled by Da Liang for many years, is so remote.

As long as the state pastor has some selfishness in his heart, he can still do it by turning Nanzhou into his own territory.

To look at the climate of a state, we have to look at the methods of the highest authority.

In order to verify that the scene he saw was not deliberately arranged by local officials in Nanzhou.

It's not that he doesn't trust Xie Cang, but no one can guarantee that this person is not familiar with the place, and the officials will do some superficial work for the sake of a good face.

During this period, under Su Qi'an's secret instructions, the special combat team members under him did something unintentionally to stop the sedan chair and collide with the officials, and once, even the horses were frightened.

According to the attitude of the officials of other states, a whip is indispensable, but when Xie Cang and the others came, they were rushed or not, whether it was an official, or a child of a local family.

There was displeasure on his face, but he did not instruct his subordinates to beat violently, but sent people to inquire normally.

If it is unintentional, they will not be too embarrassed, let them be careful, and even ask if there is any grievance that needs to be sued.

It wasn't until Xie Cang arrived that Su Qi'an showed up and explained to the local officials, and the two sides did not cause any unpleasantness and left.

But this scene did make Su Qi'an a little surprised.

As a leader of Su Qi'an, Xie Cang could naturally see Su Qi'an's arrangement.

He smiled and said, "Haha, Brother Su is really cautious, even if he sees it with his own eyes, he has to see if he will cheat, Brother Su's caution, I admire it."

"Don't worry, Brother Su is not afraid of wasting time, if you want to investigate, you can let your subordinates go deep into the twelve counties of Nanzhou, and I still believe in the official atmosphere of the Nanzhou family."

"That's why I was willing to go to Nanzhou and serve as a pastor in Nanzhou."

"Although there are still some problems in Nanzhou, there are some gaps with Brother Su and your ruling arrangements, but they are also the same way, here, I am very confident that in terms of social atmosphere, in the entire twelve states of Daliang, Nanzhou can definitely rank in the top two."

Xie Cang's words were from the bottom of his heart and full of pride.

After experiencing the test just now, Su Qi'an basically believed that what he saw was real.

To be honest, if he was standing in Xie Cang's position and came to Nanzhou, what he saw was not deceit and intrigue, but talking on an equal footing and not bullying others.

Officials have the sternness and benevolence of officials, and the children of the family have their own arrogance and sympathy for the people at the bottom.

Su Qi'an is also happy to stay in Nanzhou and is willing to contribute to the development of Nanzhou.

Thinking about it now, it's no wonder that when he was in Jiaozhou, Xie Cang believed in Da Liang, as long as there were a few more people like Su Qi'an, Da Liang would definitely rise.

It turned out that his confidence was given by Nanzhou, if the other eleven states could be like Nanzhou, it would be difficult for Da Liang to develop if he didn't want to.

Of course, Nanzhou is not perfect, there will always be some dark scum, which has existed in all dynasties.

However, it is indeed very good to be able to set an example in a backward feudal society with such a good atmosphere in Nanzhou.

The scenes he saw along the way made Su Qi'an have a strong interest in Gu Hua, the supreme ruler in Nanzhou.

What can make Xie Cang willing to serve loyally, Chu Guogong's student status should not be the point.

Half a day passed in a flash, and after a long journey, Su Qi'an and Xie Cang finally arrived in Nanzhou City before dark.

Nanzhou City is very high, very large, and Jiaozhou City is not far behind, the yellow city wall, there are many traces of potholes, this is the blow of the weathered years, this Nanzhou City should also have many stories.

The advance of the Split Mountain Army went to report, and the closed city gate was quickly opened, and Su Qi'an and his party entered Nanzhou City.

As soon as you enter the city, you will be infected by the noisy atmosphere of the city, and there is a wide street in front of you

On both sides of the street, there are many small vendors hawking.

The carriage walking in the middle seems to be basically powerful, or they also have heads, faces and statuses.

Their travels did not directly drive them out like other states, but walked along their own roads very calmly under the protection of the guards of their own mansions.

These, as Su Qi'an went all the way, what he saw were some ordinary things.

It is really a picture of the harmonious coexistence of the government and the people, and Su Qi'an did not stay on the street for long.

Under the leadership of Xie Cang, he walked from another exclusive army street.

This street can go directly to the Nanzhou Mu Mansion, and the road is very wide, which can fully accommodate thousands of troops to pass.

As they entered the city, the 10,000-strong Split Mountain Army behind Xie Cang, under his arrangement, each took them to the barracks to rest.

After running all the way, I finally came to Nanzhou Mu Mansion, Gu Hua's mansion is very large, not luxurious, but a little quiet.

Su Qi'an and Xie Cang arrived, as if they had been informed in advance, and waited at the door early.

Except for Su Qi'an and Xie Cang, the rest of the people, that is, Su Qi'an's direct team, waited in place.

This request is not too much, it is to do things according to normal rules, and it has come to this point, Su Qi'an doesn't believe that there is any ambush or murder inside.

Anyway, the other party is a figure with a head and a face, and he plotted to kill the person in power in Jiaozhou in his mansion, the Marquis of Daliang, this is either stupid or stupid.

After waiting at the door for a while, the gate opened, and the two entered, and in front of them was a patchwork classical courtyard.

All kinds of flowers, rockeries, corridors, small bridges, flowing water, everything, it looks like a painting.

On a stone table in the middle of the courtyard, a middle-aged man about forty or fifty years old sat on a stone chair and silently drank tea.

This person is dressed in a white shirt, although he is old, his skin is very firm, he is well maintained, his eyes look very deep, and he has a sense of wisdom.

The most striking thing is the chin, with a long beard, gray and gray because of age.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a Confucian student, but there is no square scarf on your head.

Xie Cang stepped forward and saluted respectfully, "Lord Zhou Mu, Dongshan Hou is here."

Who would have thought that this middle-aged Confucian looking person would be Nanzhou Mu Guhua.
