I'm a marquis in Datang

Zhou Qing said: "Once you raise your own self-respect and eventually eat yourself back, it will be too late to regret."

Du Qidao: "Let's leave these issues to the ministers of the imperial court to consider. Now, County Magistrate Zhou, it's better to manage Fushan County well. After all, thousands of elders in Fushan County look up to you."

Zhou Qing said: "It's difficult!"

Du Qi smiled lightly.

It is indeed not easy for Zhou Qing to govern the local area. Let alone the business tax that Zhou Qing mentioned just now.The imperial court collects one crop, and the state governor arranges someone to collect another crop, and then there are still people in the local area who have to collect taxes. After crops come down, business is not easy to do.

Similarly, localities are not easy to govern.

This is the simplest truth.

Zhou Qing changed the subject, and suddenly said: "Mr. Du, you haven't mentioned the situation of Xia Guo in the west, what kind of country is Xia Guo?"

Du Qi smiled and said: "Speaking of Xia Guo, I understand the customs of Da Qin. I respect the two emperors Yan and Huang as ancestors, and they all think that they are descendants of Yan and Huang. This is the rule set by the Great Qin Taizu, and Xia Guo is the same. The two emperors of Yan and Huang are the ancestors and descendants of Yan and Huang."

Zhou Qing was shocked when he heard it.

Although today's Great Qin, after more than a hundred years of changes, has recognized its own origin.

It is said that Daqin is a descendant of Yanhuang.

All the people of Great Qin are the people of Huaxia.

But Zhou Qing studied the history of Great Qin carefully, and found that there were no descendants of Yan and Huang in the land of Great Qin.In the end, it can only be said that these are the rules set by Taizu.

Now that he heard Du Qi's words, Zhou Qing couldn't help being shocked and said, "Could it be that my Great Qin Taizu originated from Xia Kingdom."

Du Qidao: "It should be like this, because Daqin's writing, official dialect, even etiquette and customs, and even many ancient books and cultures are all inherited from the same line as Xia Guo. These writings of Daqin, etc., were all determined by Taizu. Yes. But in the Xia Kingdom, these things go back thousands of years, and they all have a clear history and inheritance."

"So, Xia Guo can be regarded as the origin of Great Qin."

"Alternatively, Great Qin Taizu was taught by the people of Xia."

In Du Qi's mind, he naturally knew that the Great Qin Taizu was definitely not taught anything, but that like him, he must be a member of the Transmigration, but the Great Qin Taizu was only limited to the North American region.

After all, the original foundation of this place is too poor.Therefore, in the lifetime of Daqin Taizu, it is already quite good to be able to run Daqin well.

Chapter 1483 Opening up the relationship

Du Qi continued: "Many other aspects are actually related to Xia Guo. So there is no need for County Magistrate Zhou to have any doubts about this."

There was a hint of curiosity in Zhou Qing's eyes, but also a hint of hope.

It seems to have found the source.

I am even more curious about what Xia Guo looks like.

Zhou Qing said: "It would be great if I could go to Xia Guo to take a look in my lifetime."

Du Qixiao said: "As long as Magistrate Zhou is willing, it is possible."

Zhou Qing nodded, and continued: "Mr. Du, I know the history and inheritance of the Xia Kingdom. What kind of country is the Xia Kingdom today, how big is the country, how many people are there, and what is the standard of living? ?”

Du Qi smiled and said: "The vastness of the territory of Xia Kingdom today should be similar to that of Daqin, and the area is about the same. However, the border area of ​​Xia Kingdom is not like the northern part of Daqin, where thousands of miles are frozen, and many of them are inaccessible. Xia Guo Although there are areas like this in the territory, the Xia Kingdom has a large population and a brilliant culture."

"Xia Guo's strength is even more tyrannical."

"The imperial court controls the army."

"The control of the local area is extremely strict. Moreover, Xia Guo's army is independent and does not participate in government affairs. It is only responsible for guarding the local area. The entire Xia Guo court is thriving."

Du Qi said: "Compared to today's Great Qin, the Xia Kingdom is very powerful. That's why King Pingyuan is only stationed on a sea island now, and has never been to Xia Kingdom. I talked with King Yuan, and he The plan should be to pay a visit to the Emperor Xia, so as to enhance the friendship between the two countries."

Wang Bronze is dead.

The body did not know where it went.

Now Du Qi can say what he wants to say, no one can say anything at all.

After Zhou Qing heard it, he couldn't help but nodded.Xia Guo's national power is strong, and it is definitely impossible to attack Xia Guo, so it is the most normal and most appropriate arrangement to visit Xia Guo first.

Zhou Qing said: "Then Mr. Du, what do you do in Xia Guo?"

Now, Zhou Qing still doesn't know Du Qi's situation.

He must understand clearly.

And figure out Du Qilai's purpose.

Du Qi smiled slightly and said, "Du Qi is a businessman from the Xia Kingdom. His main business is the salt business."

Zhou Qing was surprised and said: "Mr. Du is running the salt industry in Xia State. This business is probably out of reach of ordinary people. Mr. Du, it is not easy for you in Xia State!"

Du Qi smiled slightly and said: "Magistrate Zhou praised me a lot. I'm in Xia Kingdom, so I have some connections. Therefore, I can manage the salt industry. Now I have the advice of King Pingyuan, so I come to Daqin to give it a try. I hope Can open up business."

"Ugh……"

Zhou Qing sighed when he heard the words.

Du Qidao: "Magistrate Zhou, why are you sighing?"

Zhou Qing said solemnly: "Mr. Du, I have already said it just now. The business environment in Daqin is extremely bad. It is not easy for you to come to Daqin to do business now! Speaking of it, I actually don't quite agree. Because today, the business environment is really bad.”

Du Qi smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter. Business people have encountered all kinds of situations. Some have encountered extremely bad situations, and some have encountered good situations. No matter what the situation is, there is someone to deal with it. Strategy."

Zhou Qing was in awe when he heard it, and said, "Mr. Du's words are true."

He agreed with Du Qi's words very much.

People in business can't wait for the pie to fall from the sky, they can only work hard, no matter what the situation is, they need to deal with it.

In other words, it is the same as being an official.

This is the same reason.

Zhou Qing said seriously: "Mr. Du's words were like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening, waking me up. Before I was in charge of Fushan County, I always thought that the overall situation is not good, the world is chaotic, and the place is not easy, so I just pass by. Control. Now it seems that I have neglected the management. A small county magistrate like me can't control the current situation in the world, but at least I can do my job well."

Du Qidao: "It's not easy for the county magistrate Zhou to have this awareness! Many governors of a state in my Xia Kingdom may not be able to do what you do. This person, in fact, everyone in the world has done their own things well. That’s it. That’s what it means to perform their duties.”

Zhou Qing nodded.

He admired Du Qi even more.

I think Du Qi is a wise man, and he deserves more contacts.

Zhou Qing said with a smile: "Mr. Du is a wise man. When I first met Mr. Du, I felt like old friends. Why don't Mr. Du stay at the house for dinner? How about having a few drinks?"
