"Hmph, old Lintou, stop looking down on others here. Although I am old, I am still more than enough to deal with those old guys."
"It's not me you have to worry about, but you, the student. Hehe, once I come out of the mountain and serve as Xizhou Shepherd again, aren't you afraid that I will do something detrimental to you?"
Luo Qingyuan turned his head and stared at Su Qi'an with a sly smile on his face.
Lin Yuan was startled. Before he could speak, Su Qi'an said directly.
"I believe in Mr. Luo's character. Of course, if Mr. Luo wants to become the second Tang Feng, this junior will not mind another war in Xizhou. Please trust Mr. Luo that this junior has this ability."
Su Qi'an's calmness made Luo Qingyuan burst out laughing, "Hahaha, I didn't expect that I would still be threatened at my age. Little baby, you are quite interesting."
The atmosphere outside the cave was soon filled with laughter. A few people talked outside the cave for more than an hour. As the sun above their heads gradually set towards the west.
Su Qi'an and Lin Yuanzhi finally went down the mountain. This time, Luo Qingyuan did not go down the mountain with them.
According to Luo Qingyuan's wishes, he agreed to go out of the mountain, but he was not in a hurry to go down. After all, he had lived in Tiannan Mountain for so long and still had to clean up in the mountain for a few days.
The euphemistic name is saying goodbye to everything on the mountain.
The two of them did not reject Luo Qingyuan's idea. They nodded and agreed. Before going down the mountain, they gave Luo Qingyuan a word of advice.
When Luo Qingyuan came down the mountain, he said hello to the soldiers patrolling down the mountain. These soldiers would take Luo Qingyuan down the mountain immediately.
Looking at the sun gradually setting in the west, Su Qi'an and Lin Yuanzhi, who had descended from the mountain, looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Although today's work was delayed for a day, Luo Qingyuan was finally able to be invited out of the mountain, and today's time was not in vain.
Lin Yuanzhi touched his beard and said to Su Qi'an with a smile, "Qi'an, I really have you. After so many years, you are the only one who can irritate Lao Luo Tou and make him agree. I traveled all the way today, and it’s not in vain.”
"It's rare that I've never seen old Luo Tou look so restless. Haha, it's a relief for me."
Su Qi'an smiled and waved his hand, "Thanks to Mr. Lin's cooperation this time. Without Mr. Lin, it would be really difficult for the students alone."
"Mr. Lin, now that Mr. Luo's matter has been settled, the student has one more unkind request."
Lin Yuanzhi looked at Su Qi'an, interrupted him directly, and said, "You've got Lao Luo Tou, now you want to put your ideas on my head."
Su Qi'an didn't defend himself and nodded with a smile.
Even though Lin Yuanzhi is now quite old and has already entered the official career, judging from his performance today, both his speech and physical strength are completely beyond Su Qi'an's imagination.
Who would have thought that a person over seventy years old in Linyuan City would be so energetic at the end of the day. It would be a waste to just let him go and live in seclusion.
Of course Lin Yuanzhi knew Su Qi'an's thoughts. He waved his hand and said, "Qi'an, I appreciate your kindness. It's not that I don't want to help you, but I am old and will inevitably be distracted by many things. Nowadays, Xizhou is full of waste, and what it needs is not old guys like me, but the young and powerful juniors."
"With them here, Xizhou will definitely be well governed. As for me, I can help you inspect the moral character of some officials, plan the grassroots private schools and schools in Xizhou, and put forward some suggestions. Please don't embarrass me."
Su Qi'an could also understand what Lin Yuanzhi said, and that was exactly what he wanted. As for asking Lin Yuanzhi to do something that consumes energy, Su Qi'an was not stupid.
Inspecting the conduct of Xizhou officials and establishing more complete grassroots private schools and schools are what Su Qi'an values more.
If a state wants to develop, in addition to economy and food, what is more important is education, which means cultivating talents.
The cultivation of talents must start from childhood. Only by making a little change, improving the literacy rate and enhancing knowledge of the people at the bottom, in the long run, talents will continue to emerge.
Xizhou at that time
, is the peak of real development.
Su Qi'an briefly communicated with Lin Yuanzhi. Lin Yuanzhi was very pleased and excited to learn about Su Qi'an's thoughts.
In the end, he accepted Su Qi'an's request without hesitation. This idea completely coincided with what he could do.
This tacit understanding made Lin Yuanzhi very excited today. The two of them got in the car and prepared to leave Tiannan Mountain and return to Xizhou City.
But before the carriage had gone a few miles, the guards ordered to protect Su Qi'an came quickly.
The soldier said nothing, but stood beside the carriage, his hands stretched out, holding a letter in his hand.
Su Qi'an glanced at the black stamp on the envelope, his eyes condensed, and he took the letter.
This letter was not an ordinary letter, but was sent by the darknet intelligence organization re-established by Li Xiaomei and Shouhou with the consent of Su Qi'an.
This should be the first letter sent in the reconstruction of the dark web. Su Qian was a little shocked by the speed.
Opening the envelope, Su Qi'an glanced around and quickly understood the contents of the letter.
With an indifferent expression on his face, he handed the letter to Lin Yuanzhi who was standing aside. When Lin Yuanzhi understood it, Su Qian's voice rang out.
"These guys acted really fast. I thought they would endure it for a few days, but unexpectedly they couldn't bear it anymore and took action in advance."
After Lin Yuanzhi read the letter, there was no change on his face. He asked Su Qi'an normally, "Qi'an, what are you going to do?"...
"Since these guys can't help but show up, let's show them who has the final say in Xizhou."
"Well, we need to give these old antiques of aristocratic families a good beating, but I have a different opinion."
Su Qian's eyes flashed, and he quickly realized Lin Yuanzhi's intention, and said hesitantly, "Teacher, is this what you meant?"
A smile appeared on Lin Yuanzhi's face, and he said, "Don't we have the right people around us? Some things naturally have to be done by the right people."
"After so many years, I just took this opportunity to let that person come forward and give these old antiques a good beating. I am really looking forward to seeing those old antiques see the wonderful expression on Old Luo Tou's face."
Su Qi'an turned his eyes and agreed with what Lin Yuanzhi said.
Not to mention Lin Yuanzhi, even Su Qi'an was looking forward to seeing what kind of ability this former state pastor, a genius in Xizhou, who had disappeared for nearly twenty years, could suppress the old antiques of the Xizhou family.
Under Su Qian'an's order, they who wanted to leave Tiannan Mountain turned around and headed towards Sichuan Capital.
Today's Sichuandu County is much better than before. Not to mention that it has returned to what it was like three years ago, but at least it is much better than the inhumane situation when Tang Feng was in office.
The public security, people, and streets in the city are slowly recovering, and the tense atmosphere in the city is getting better.
However, only in one of the rooms in the county palace of Sichuandu County, the atmosphere was quite depressing.
This room is large and can accommodate forty or fifty people without any problems.
The room at this time was full of people. Except for Zhou Qi who was sitting at the top, the two sides below were full of people. At a glance, these people were all from serious families.
Judging from their clothes, these people should be from three different families. The leader is very old, at least over sixty years old.
Although he was old, he was still full of energy. He accidentally looked at Zhou Qi sitting above him, with a little disdain in his weathered eyes.
Zhou Qi, who was sitting above, had a calm expression, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.
Xizhou was captured. As a confidant of Su Qi'an, given his qualifications and age, it was more than enough for him to be promoted to the county level.
The position originally assigned to him was Sichuan County Magistrate, but Su Qi'an found the position at once and directly made him the Sichuan County Magistrate.
It stands to reason that with Su Qi'an's rank, he is not qualified to appoint Xizhou officials. Even the lowest-level county magistrate does not have the right to appoint or remove officials. At most, he only has the right to make suggestions.
The power to appoint officials in Xizhou, even at the county level, belongs to the imperial court.
But Su Qi'an can appoint and remove him, so why not
It was thanks to Feng Zheng, the eunuch who visited Xizhou.
Feng Zheng is the eunuch, and he is holding His Majesty's imperial edict during this trip. In a sense, he has the right to inspect and take over Xizhou on behalf of His Majesty.
As for the appointment and dismissal of officials, except for those at the highest state level, which required Feng Zheng to report to the court, county officials at lower levels could take office as long as Feng Zheng could agree. At most, they would just have to go through the appointment procedures with the court afterwards.
This is the right of being a celebrity around His Majesty, and this is an important reason why Tang Feng had such a respectful attitude when meeting Feng Zheng.
If you are not absolutely sure, do not offend the four supervisors unless absolutely necessary. This is the basic consensus of all officials.
After Tang Feng's death, Xizhou was taken over by Su Qi'an. Su Qi'an was not like those officials who flattered the eunuch.
After all, many people died in his hands. Faced with such a madman, Feng Zheng was tough, and he also knew that people had to bow their heads under the roof.
Therefore, Su Qi'an's nominations for several county governors and county magistrates were basically not rejected by Feng Zheng.
Feng Zheng was very knowledgeable, so Su Qi'an didn't make things too difficult for him. Apart from being supervised when traveling, other daily treatment was given to him very well.
Both parties are smart people, do not interfere with each other, and remain silent.
Therefore, under this harmonious relationship, it is not a big deal that Zhou Qi was promoted to be the county guard.
People, if you are unlucky, your teeth will get stuck if you drink cold water. Just a few days after Zhou Qi was promoted to the county guard, as expected, a lot of bad things came to his door.
The source of all these bad things was none other than the Sanfang family who came to the door and was sitting calmly below him.
This tripartite family is no ordinary family. In Xizhou, they have another name, the Hidden Family.
Generally speaking, the hidden family is the family with the deepest foundation in a state, but their style is different from ordinary families and is very low-key.
It's so low-key that even some ordinary families have never heard of it.
Just because I haven’t heard of it doesn’t mean they are weak.
It is no exaggeration to say that the truth theory foundation, strength, and prestige of these hidden families are not inferior to any family in Xizhou. Even the three former giants of Xizhou, Tang, Xue, and Gongsun, are not willing to give in at all. .
