Husband has a sweetheart

News of Jin Yongxiu's death in Jincheng spread quickly throughout the country. This legendary and unparalleled Qilin Empress commanded Liangzhou and the Red Lotus Sect, the two strongest forces in Great Xia, with an army of millions, and had no relations with the royal family. The common hatred did not go as everyone imagined. They marched north and attacked the capital. All the forces were fully prepared for a new round of war, but they waited lonely.

The Queen Mother, who was waiting for her fiancé to come over in the capital, was also dumbfounded. How furious Zhang Yuying was. Zhang Yuqing didn't know that integrating the forces of the Red Lotus Sect, reorganizing the army, and re-governing the territories newly included in her own forces were enough to keep her busy.

In the new CEO's office, the round table was filled with people discussing matters.

The round table meeting was also proposed by Zhang Yuqing. Everyone who is qualified to discuss matters at the table is equal and has the opportunity to put forward his or her own ideas and opinions.

Wang Chunniang was calculating, and reported the amount of money with her fingers flying.

Zhang Yuqing's face was as dark as water, and he tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

After listening to the amount reported by Wang Chunniang, Du Jingyi said: "The conditions in Yuzhou and Qingzhou are different from Liangzhou, and people's livelihood cannot be managed like Liangzhou."

Liangzhou has few people and wasteland everywhere, while Yuzhou and Qingzhou have a lot of land and a large population, but most of the people are extremely poor because almost all the fertile land is in the hands of big bureaucrats.

"Unless we get rid of the big landlords and big bureaucrats, public ownership of land will be a joke," Zhang Yuqing said.

Zhang Yucheng said softly: "These people claim to be from a noble family and have the mouthpiece of public opinion. They have been entangled for many years. I am afraid they will not hand over the land easily."

Zhang Yuqing's face was cold, and he dipped his hand in tea and wrote a sinister word "kill" on the table. The millions of soldiers they had accumulated over the years were not good-looking.

"Change is not a treat. Power is won by gunfire, not by others." Zhang Yuqing said coldly.

Everyone knew it in their minds.

"How is the public school doing?" Zhang Yuqing asked again.

Yuan Qin immediately said: "There are more than a hundred public schools, and almost every township has one. As for the master, Liangzhou transferred hundreds of people over, and together with the original master, it is barely enough."

"Have the scientific examination arrangements been completed?" Zhang Yuqing asked again.

Mr. Lin nodded with a smile, "The examination room has been set up and the examination papers have been printed. We just have to wait for the examination to officially start the day after tomorrow."

Zhang Yuqing nodded, "I can rest assured that Mr. Lin will do things, Kou Leguo?"

Kou Leguo patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, the government officials work in three shifts and patrol day and night. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be forced to walk around without food!"

The news that Empress Qilin was going to hold imperial examinations to select talents in Liang, Henan, and Qingzhou soon spread to the capital. The ministers were frightened and scolded Zhang Yuqing bloody in the court. They kept saying that this woman was arrogant and domineering. Si Chen, the hen, wants to hold the imperial examination, which is obviously a rebellion!Moreover, the test requirement is that you only need to be literate, which is a joke!

After everyone scolded Zhang Yuqing, they couldn't help but scold Lu Wei a few more words. They thought Lu Wei was a fierce man who was rare in a century. Who knew that he couldn't even control his wife and actually allowed Qilin Empress to climb on top of him!Is this okay?
However, no one can do anything to the Qilin Empress who dares to risk the disapproval of the world.First, so many troops are not just decorations. Second, no one, whether it is Lu Wei, Qilin Empress, or the leader of the Qing Army, Sheng Guixin, claims to be the king.

Lu Wei's reputation to the outside world is still the ruler of Liangzhou in the Great Xia Dynasty.

As for whether people listen to what the Emperor of Daxia says, the Emperor of Daxia has no control over it, let alone others.

Moreover, wars are raging these days, the imperial power is declining, and there are so many people who claim to be kings and hegemons. Even those who have more than a hundred private soldiers at home dare to proclaim themselves emperors and make their wives and concubines queens and concubines. In comparison, Lu Wei was simply a loyal minister of Da Xia.

Time soon came to the opening day of the scientific examination. Except for a few scholars, most of them were low-class people who knew a few words. They wore patched short coats and their big toes were stained with mud on their shoes.

Everyone is worried. Although it is stipulated that as long as they can read and write, they can take the exam, but they don't think they can pass the exam. Most of them come because they can reimburse their travel expenses and take care of a few meals.

What puzzled these hundreds of candidates was that after entering the examination room, someone actually talked to them, asked them what they were good at and what occupation they were engaged in, and then sent them to different examination rooms based on their answers.

Zhang Yuqing personally delivered the examination papers to the examination room, and she personally invigilated the examination.

It was the first time for these candidates who came from all over the world to see the legendary, intelligent, cold-blooded and beautiful Qilin Empress.However, before they could express their feelings for this legendary lady, they were so shocked by the test paper in their hands that they felt as if they had swallowed two eggs alive.

After the two-hour exam was over, the hand-in bell rang, and the candidates left the examination room one after another. Everyone looked excited, grabbing familiar people to ask each other about the results.

The examination papers that Queen Qilin personally checked did not test the Four Books and Five Classics, nor poetry and poetry, but arithmetic, engineering, law, and medicine.What does this mean?It shows that Queen Qilin wants people who can do practical things, not nerds who talk nonsense!

Three days later, all the test papers were marked and ranked according to their scores. The top thirty students in each subject had the honor of being personally interviewed by Zhang Yuqing.

There were candidates who admired the achievements of the Liangzhou King and his wife and really wanted to join the Qilin Empress. There were also scholars who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to gain fame and gain. They despised Zhang Yuqing as a woman who had never read serious books. They wanted to throw away their book bags when they came up. They talked all about the words of saints and wanted to put on airs.

Du Jingyi waved his hand with a smile, and several government officials rushed up to him, kicked the man out, and warned that he would never be hired.

Are you kidding? What they lack is talents for all kinds of things, not just talking.

The first batch of candidates who were hired were quickly assigned to various positions, which greatly alleviated the pressure of the shortage of grassroots managers in Yuzhou and Qingzhou.They were all appointed by Zhang Yuqing, so they were naturally the disciples of Empress Qilin.

Autumn turns to winter, and it’s the Lantern Festival again.

After experiencing various iron-blooded new policies that killed powerful people, wiped out the powerful, nationalized land, distributed land on a per capita basis, and the government provided low-interest loans to farmers, the two states of Henan and Qinghai prospered at an incredibly fast rate.

On the Lantern Festival, almost every city is brightly lit with lanterns and colorful decorations. The streets and alleys are filled with lions and dragons dancing, and gongs and drums are noisy.The market was crowded with people, and there were not only Daxia people, but also many barbarians with tall eyebrows and deep eyes.

Everyone's face is filled with smiles, and everyone's eyes are full of hope for the future.

Lu Wei and Zhang Yuqing returned to Baochuan early in the morning and took the children out to watch the lanterns.

Liangzhou has held lantern festivals over the years, and the lanterns accumulated are gorgeous and rich, and each piece is a rare work of art.

Zhang Yuqing wore a windproof hood, held Lu Xiao's hand and looked at the lanterns in the distance, silently, with a smile on her lips.

Lu Wei put his arm around her shoulders and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking that even if I fail to achieve great things, when future generations mention me in the history books, at least I will still have a contribution to promoting the development of lantern art." Zhang Yuqing pointed at the lanterns and said.

Lu Wei burst out laughing, and just as he was about to say something in her ear, he saw Sheng Guixin leading a few lieutenants who had come to Baochuan to celebrate the New Year, walking towards them.

The smile completely disappeared from Lu Wei's face.

The ghosts of those celebrating the New Year are still lingering, hey, I still have to find a chance to kill them!
Zhang Yuqing happily waved to Sheng Guixin and called "Brother", and Lu Shi excitedly held Sheng Guixin's legs for a hug.

Ever since Sheng Guixin demonstrated a set of marksmanship skills in front of Lu Shi, she completely captured Lu Shi's heart. Lu Shi put aside his lofty words and said in a coquettish voice that he would learn marksmanship from his uncle in the future.

But Lu Wei was so angry, what good was his marksmanship?Isn't his swordsmanship great?Leave your own father alone and go bother an outsider!
What a traitor!How filial piety to his old father!

Zhang Yuqing saw a few pieces of red paper from firecrackers falling on Sheng Guixin's shoulder, and wanted to help bounce them off. As soon as he stretched out his hand, Lu Wei grabbed it.

"You can talk, but you don't need to do it." Lu Wei said expressionlessly.

Lu Wei took Zhang Yuqing's hand and sent it back. He slowly stretched out his hand and flicked off the red paper crumbs on Sheng Guixin's shoulder.

Sheng Guixin squinted at Lu Wei "serving" him and sneered, "Thank you, Mr. Lu."

Lu Wei took back his hand and said hypocritically: "Brother-in-law, you don't have to be polite, we are all one family."

The two people looked at each other, sparks flying in the air, lightning and thunder, and then they turned away in disgust.

Hey, it’s annoying just to look at it!
The lieutenants brought by Sheng Guixin were very familiar with the matter, and they all complimented: "Only when I got to Baochuan did I realize that there really was such a prosperous rule!"

"After watching the Lantern Festival in Baochuan, I realized that everything else was just for children to play house!"

"Thanks to the King of Liangzhou who knows how to run an army and fight, and how he and Empress Qilin can create a prosperous world together!"

At this moment, Acha came over with several tribesmen and saluted Zhang Yuqing and Lu Wei.

One of Sheng Guixin's lieutenants had learned the scimitar from a bodyguard of a Hu caravan in the early years. When he saw the scimitar hanging on Acha's waist, he immediately became interested and greeted him to go aside to compete in martial arts. Soon they became lively and familiar with each other. .

"Are foreigners reliable?" Sheng Guixin asked softly, watching the back-and-forth between his subordinates and Acha.

Zhang Yuqing smiled and said: "No one can refuse to have enough food and clothing, including foreigners."

Who wants to make a living with their head tied to their belt when they can live a stable and good life?
Lu Wei gave a rare good-tempered explanation: "It took a lot of effort for Qingqing to conquer the color wave. It involves border stability. Qingqing has worked hard to manage the border over the years. Brother, please don't waste Qingqing's efforts just because of personal likes and dislikes."

"Brother, don't listen to his nonsense. It didn't take much effort to conquer Acha. He just came to me because he was poor and scared." Zhang Yuqing said modestly.

Sheng Guixin looked at Lu Wei through her nostrils and snorted.

Lu Wei held his breath and held Zhang Yuqing's hand through his wide sleeves.

Du Jingyi: The people of Lu are better than blue. Lu tea is fragrant, and the fragrance floats in the summer.
