Chapter 594 Begins
It’s really inappropriate!

Chen Duan muttered secretly in his heart.

However, since people asked, and this is Lingnan, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, Chen Duan felt that he could "speak nonsense".

"Qin II died for many reasons—"

Even if he has not read history books, Chen Duan still has advisers around him.

In private, they will also "learn history as a mirror".

Chen Duan was jealous of Chen Jing, not only because Chen Jing "judged others by himself", but also because Chen Duan did have ambitions.

Since you have ambitions, you should study the history of your predecessors a lot.

Therefore, Chen Duan can really tell many reasons for the demise of the Qin Dynasty.

Gu Qingcheng was too lazy to listen, and interrupted him directly, saying, "There are indeed many reasons, but 'Qin Law is too strict' is one of the important reasons."

Gu Qingcheng brought up this topic just to remind him not to use the method of governing the army to govern the place.

In military camps, military law should indeed be strict.

However, it does not apply to governing places.

Qin Fa is notoriously strict, and he will be beheaded if he is late for corvee service. How could Chen Sheng and the others not rebel?

On the surface, Qin seems to have been destroyed by the second generation.

But if the Qin law is not changed, even if Su is helped to power, it will not last long.

To govern troubled times, heavy codes are needed.

But the world is unified and peaceful, so it needs to be adjusted in due course.

Soothing, soft, stable, peaceful!
Chen Duan: ...

He is not stupid.

And Gu Qingcheng's "reminder" was not subtle.

Haha, moved Qin Fa out.

Why, in the eyes of the little girl of the Gu family, he, the Prince of Liang, has become the same "tyrant" as Qin II?
Tsk, wasn't it just a little embarrassment for her at the city gate?

The little girl's heart is too small, and she actually called him a tyrant by mocking the past!
Gu Qingcheng caught a glimpse of Chen Duan's dumbfounded look out of the corner of his eye, and knew that he had misunderstood.

Uh, well, Gu Qingcheng admitted that she was indeed suspected of "revenge", and she took advantage of it a little.

But, in fact, she really wanted to remind Chen Duan——

"Your Highness, Guangcheng is the most prosperous port in Lingnan. Merchants from Lingnan and even overseas gather here."

The prosperity of Guangcheng is not due to its rich products, but its superior geographical location.

By the sea, by the inland.

There are natural ports and excellent shipping conditions.

Merchants from south to north gather here.

The prosperity of business will naturally drive the local economy.

Chen Duan saw that Gu Qingcheng no longer "talked about ancient times", but returned to Guangcheng itself.

There is also mention of the thriving commerce of Guangcheng.

He nodded and agreed, "Guangcheng is indeed prosperous. Several business houses have done business in Jiankang, even in the Northern Dynasties!"

It was precisely because of the prosperity of business that Chen Duan stepped up his management of merchants.

Raise tax laws, limit prices, and use laws to control Guangcheng's business.

and many more!

law!

Qin Fa?

Chen Duan seemed to understand.

He looked down at the beautiful young girl.

"Gu Qing, do you think I shouldn't use the method of running an army to manage merchants?"

Chen Duan sat up straight and looked straight at Gu Qingcheng.

"Whether it should be done or not is not something I can judge. It depends on whether the city is stable and whether the people can work happily."

Gu Qingcheng replied lightly.

Chen Duan: "Oh? My Guangcheng is not stable? Can't the people enjoy their work?"

Gu Qingcheng never plays lip service with others, but likes to present tangible evidence.

"It's been less than half a day since you entered the city, so maybe you've got a sneak peek. However, the situation in Guangcheng is indeed different from what Qing imagined."

"There are thirteen commercial firms in the city, but eight of them are closed, and the five that are open are not as prosperous as they used to be."

"There is also the price of rice in the city. Although it has not increased, there is no rice in the rice shop."

There is nothing wrong with Chen Duan controlling prices and raising business taxes.

Gu Qingcheng has similar measures in Luozhou and Yuezhou.

But he only has "power", but no temptation.

Gu Qingcheng recounted the current situation of Guangcheng's business, "...businessmen are chasing profits. Suppressing them with power and restricting them with laws is far worse than driving them away with profits!"

Chen Duan said suddenly, "So, you cooperate with Huang's to run the dock together?"

Gu Qingcheng raised his eyebrows, oh, I knew that Chen Duan was not just competing for interests with the governor of Guangcheng during the past few months in Lingnan.

He also conducted an in-depth investigation of Lingnan.

"That's right!"

Gu Qingcheng generously admitted.

It's no secret.

Moreover, Gu Qingcheng also wanted to show herself to Chen Duan.

In addition to her "harmonious" cooperation with the local wealthy family, there are also her means of governing the city and her expertise in infrastructure.

"My lord, are you interested in going to my Wubao?"

Gu Qingcheng took the initiative to send out the invitation.

She knew that Chen Duan wanted to cooperate with her.

And Chen Duan also knew that she coveted his soldiers, his weapons and horses.

Both sides are interested, but both sides are observing and testing.

It is very necessary to show one's own strength in a timely manner.

"Since Gu Sanniang sincerely wants it, I will go and take a look!"

"However, Sanniang has already come to Guangcheng, so she can stay in Guangcheng for a few days first."

"I heard that Sanniang is also training soldiers. This king is quite curious, how does my king's Xuanjia soldiers compare with Sanniang's female soldiers?"

Chen Duan also mentioned the word "female soldiers".

He also deliberately told Gu Qingcheng: This king also has a deep understanding of you.

So, they are all thousand-year-old foxes, so please stop playing tricks.

"I have long heard that His Royal Highness the King of Liang has a method of training soldiers. The black armor soldiers under his command are so brave and powerful that one is worth ten."

"If you are lucky, you would like to go to the barracks to have a look."

Gu Qingcheng is really not just bragging.

Chen Jing would be afraid of Chen Duan, which was also related to the fact that Chen Duan had [-] elite soldiers who were like wolves and tigers.

And these 2 horses, Gu Qingcheng is also very coveted.

……

The two sides came and went, and the atmosphere was "harmonious".

After lunch, Gu Qingcheng followed Chen Duan to his barracks.

Sure enough, the horses were tough, the helmets were bright, and the screaming soldiers looked like tigers about to rush out of the gate.

Such 2 horses are enough to launch a large-scale battle on the battlefield.

Even compared to the cavalry of the Northern Dynasties, they were not far behind.

Gu Qingcheng's eyes were full of the inevitable.

She became more and more enthusiastic towards Chen Duan.

This time there is no need to deliberately show off, Gu Qingcheng directly wrote a whole set of administrative regulations for governing Guangcheng.

Land tax, business tax, land reclamation, appeasement of the people, water conservancy, road construction, etc., Gu Qingcheng has done everything in an orderly manner.

She also wrote a set of methods to restore and develop Guangcheng's business, and actively contacted local wealthy families.

Chen Duan felt more and more that the Gu family, a 14-year-old girl, already had the potential to be a good wife.

And her words and deeds are like a matron who can stabilize the home front and a good business partner.

Huoshui: ...Suddenly, I have a bad feeling.

When did Your Majesty the queen become so, so "virtuous"?
