The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Wan Lianxing was helpless, "Sister-in-law, it's too hasty to get married now. Let's wait a little longer. By then, Siyu and I can have a more splendid wedding."

Madam Wan said, "The key is when this war will end."

Wan Lianxing glanced at Zhong Siyu who was sitting there quietly, wanting to hear his opinion: "Siyu, what do you think about this?"

Zhong Siyu said, "I have no objection. I will follow the arrangements of the Marquis and my brother and sister-in-law."

When Madam Wan heard Zhong Siyu say this, she wanted to scold Wan Lianxing even more: "Look at you, Siyu, you are so sensible and considerate. You are lucky to be favored by Siyu, otherwise you would be single forever."

Wan Lianxing quickly stood up and bowed to Madam Wan: "Sister-in-law, I am right. Thank you Siyu for your understanding. I have official duties to attend to, so I will take my leave now."

Madam Wan asked, "Where are you going?"

Wan Lianxing said, "Sister-in-law, a bunch of officials are waiting for me. I have to go to work. I will come back to listen to your teachings after I finish my work." Taking this opportunity, Wan Lianxing ran away, but there were indeed a bunch of officials waiting for him to discuss matters. Some of these people had important matters to report to Wan Lianxing, and some came to join in the fun. After all, Fengying seemed to be peaceful and prosperous, basically the same as in the past, but in fact, the situation here changed after Wan Lianxing took over the military power and took charge of the military affairs of Fengying.

This place looks like a county of Dalang State, but it has long been completely controlled by Wan Lianxing. All officials, big and small, obey Wan Lianxing's orders, and Dalang State's orders have long become a piece of paper. This is Wan Lianxing's world, and all officials have long known this. For many years, the emperor of Dalang State has no intention of reforming this place. The entire Fengying, from top to bottom, from officials to civilians, has lived a life of austerity. Only after Wan Lianxing came, their lives have changed. Therefore, the officials and civilians who have been miserable for half their lives now believe whoever can bring them a good life.

However, this time when Wan Lianxing sat here was different from the last time. It was not because his status was higher than before, but because most of the officials from various places talked about the good things in each place, such as the people being prosperous and living and working in peace and contentment. After hearing these, Wan Lianxing did not have as much of a headache as before.

At the last moment, Wan Lianxing looked at Yan Qilian with satisfaction and said, "For a long time, County Magistrate Yan has made great contributions and undertaken many of my official duties."

Yan Qilian stood up and said respectfully, "It's all thanks to your teaching, Lord. I don't dare to take credit for it, but Lord, it's been two years since I last prayed for rain."

Wan Lianxing raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Isn't it just the year before last? Is there drought in Fengying again?"

Yan Qilian said: "There is no drought. There is enough rain. Crops grow according to the four seasons and there are good harvests year after year. It's just that I want to speak up for the people."

"What happened to the people in Fengying?"

Yan Qilian said: "The people want the Marquis to pray for everyone."

Wan Lianxing was in a dilemma. He didn't like this matter because he didn't believe it, and he didn't want to use it to fool the people. Just when Wan Lianxing was looking for a good reason to refuse, his adviser Huang Chenming spoke up, "My Lord, it's time to pray for the people."

Wan Lianxing looked at Huang Chenming meaningfully, the meaning of which was self-evident, which was: You come again.

As soon as Yan Qilian heard Huang Chenming speak, he knew that this matter would definitely convince Wan Lianxing, so Yan Qilian smiled and asked expectantly: "Master Chenming, which day do you think is the most appropriate to hold the blessing ceremony?"

Huang Chenming smiled and replied calmly, "In my opinion, let's set it half a month later. That day happens to be the eighth day of the first lunar month."

Yan Qilian nodded slightly to show his agreement, and then asked, "So what is the appropriate time to start?"

Huang Chenming thought for a moment and then said, "Let's do it at this time of the beginning of the evening."

After hearing this, Yan Qilian clapped his hands excitedly and praised loudly: "Great! What a good time." After that, he immediately turned to the person next to him and ordered: "Hurry up and tell the people below to post more notices in the city to convey this news to the people in the city."

When the meeting was over, Wan Lianxing, who had already accepted his fate, did not forget to complain to Huang Chenming: "Mingming, how could you do such a useless thing?"

However, Huang Chenming didn't care. He slowly walked to Wan Lianxing and said softly, "My Lord, don't underestimate this prayer. This is not just a formality. We are following the will of the people. Only in this way can we win the hearts of the people and make the people support you more."

Wan Lianxing slowed down his pace: "Even if we want to follow public opinion, we can't choose half a month later! Half a month later, I will be at the border in half a month."

Huang Chenming responded with a serious face: "My Lord, fighting is important, but winning the hearts of the people is more important. As the saying goes, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world."

Wan Lianxing nodded when he heard this. He admitted that Huang Chenming was right. Huang Chenming gave him advice and always considered him. He had never made a mistake. Therefore, the things Huang Chenming decided for him always made sense. However, he was still concerned about the war at the border. He asked, "Isn't it okay tomorrow? Isn't it okay the day after tomorrow? Why does it have to be delayed until half a month later?"

Huang Chenming shook his head and patiently explained, "My Lord, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are not suitable. You are praying for the people, so you should let all the people know about this. So, you have to give the people some time to spread the word. In addition, we also need time to prepare properly."

Wan Lianxing was concerned about the war at the border and had not originally planned to stay back for too long. The reason he came back this time was to handle the government affairs of Fengying and to visit his brother and sister-in-law whom he had not seen for a long time.

At this moment, Chen Gongxiang hurriedly chased after him from behind, shouting, "My Lord!"

Hearing the shout, Wan Lianxing turned around, smiled slightly, and asked softly: "County Magistrate Chen, why haven't you left yet?"

Chen Gongxiang walked up quickly, bowed slightly, and then said, "My Lord, I have something else to report to you."

"Please speak, Magistrate Chen."

Chen Gongxiang said: "No, I would like to ask you to go to our Mochun County and see what our Mochun County looks like now."

Wan Lianxing waved his hand and replied with a smile: "Didn't you just say that the people in your Mochun County can now drink water? Mochun County used to be a thorn in my side, but now that I see that you have solved the water problem, I am relieved. As for going to see it myself, forget it."
