Chapter 54: The New Look of Qushui County

If Shenzhou had not intervened, Esdeath, who had returned to the imperial capital, would have immediately formed a special police force called "Hunters" to engage in a life-and-death battle with the Night Raid.

But now that the Shenzhou Empire has directly occupied the original territory of a noble named Hadland on the border of the empire and openly raised its flag, the ministers have obviously decided to eliminate this "scoundrel" who defected earlier than the revolutionary army.

According to the information brought back by the spy lurking around the minister by Lan Yingci, Esdeath still gave all the rewards of the puppet emperor to the soldiers who accompanied her in the war, just like in the original plot, and proposed a request to "have a love affair".

Naturally, this request could only be solved by Esdeath herself, and she also officially accepted a new mission.

He will lead the army to set out soon to "annihilate" Shenzhou.

"It is not enough to just defeat Esdeath. Although some people always say that as long as this woman exists, the empire will not fall, she is only one person after all."

"Compared to defeating Esdeath, destroying her and the army she leads on the battlefield can truly make the people of this world remember us."

"After we win this war, we can officially launch our propaganda campaign.

We will spread the news of the Shenzhou-controlled area to every corner of this continent.

We will have the Storm Shadow Assassins lurking in various places spread all kinds of news and transfer the hopes of ordinary people for the revolutionary army to Shenzhou.

Then our next actions will be extremely smooth."

Ning Qingxuan, who had returned to the Shenzhou-controlled area with the general and the Son of God on the day Esdeath arrived in the imperial capital, said this when she listened to Yang Xingshu's report.

"Although this will certainly let people know the weakness of the empire, and even make the revolutionary army march towards the imperial capital ahead of time, but - haven't we already planted a lot of people inside the revolutionary army? Their actions are bound to be full of thorns."

While stamping the last document in her hand, Ning Qingxuan said to Yang Xingshu with a smile.

"I'll leave the details of how to do it to you, Yihong."

"I will definitely not let Your Highness down."

Yang Xingshu bowed and glanced at the general and the Son of God, and said with a smile: "I will not disturb Your Highness, I will take my leave."

After Yang Xingshu left the hall, the Son of God yawned lazily and called the maid beside him to massage his shoulders and legs.

"You really know how to enjoy yourself."

Ning Qingxuan and the general stood up at the same time. Seeing this, the Son of God couldn't help but be surprised: "Going out? Really, little guy, you just came back, why are you running around again?"

"Do you think it's an easy job to govern a territory when you are in a high position?"

The general walked up to Shen Zi without any hesitation and poked her forehead with his finger. "We are going out to inspect the place.

If you are really tired, you can rest here.

But we obviously came back by plane, and I didn't ask you to fly by yourself, so how can you be tired?"

Shen Zi quickly stood up, patted his wrinkled clothes, and shook his ears:

"No, no, no, let's go together! It will be meaningless for me to stay here alone if you all leave."

…dividing line…

It doesn't matter what Hadrian's territory was originally called. Ever since Shenzhou took control of the area, it has had a brand new name.

Qushui County.

The origin of the name is actually quite simple, it's just because there is a main winding river in the territory, that's all.

According to the plan, Shenzhou will take Qushui County as the core, swallow the entire world bit by bit, and finally establish a new "Huiming Protectorate".

Huiming is an elegant name for dawn, which implies that since the Huxia king's army has conquered the world, the common people here will finally see the sky.

As the prince's aide, Yang Xingshu has urgently recruited a group of students from the Imperial College in Shenzhou to come here to assist him in governing the local area.

Today, the Imperial College is no longer the highest institution of learning in the empire, but has become a training base for elite bureaucrats.

The empire still relies on the ancient imperial examination system to select officials, but the content of the imperial examination has changed dramatically.

At the same time, after the reform, students who pass the provincial examination can enter the team of candidate bureaucrats, without having to go to Beijing to take the examination as in the past.

Only those who pass the palace examination can become officials - who made the territory of Daxia grow larger and larger, and the demand for bureaucrats become increasingly serious?

As for the Imperial College, it is a place for training for elites selected from local officials based on their political achievements. Only after completing their training in the Imperial College can they be officially sent out to become local officials or frontier governors.

By passing the imperial examinations, one could pass the provincial and local examinations, make achievements as an official, enter the Imperial Academy for further studies, and then be sent out to become a high-ranking official in a certain place, and finally enter the central court to become an official in the capital.

This has become the most important way for the people of the empire to advance in politics.

Of course, there are still nobles in the empire after all. For those who inherit the legacy of their ancestors, if they are talented enough and meet the requirements, they will definitely take another path to enter the court - this is the case with Yang Xingshu.

This guy, besides being the prince's companion, has another identity, that is, the son of Ningguo Duke.

Therefore, the students of the Imperial Academy in Daxia today are actually a group of elite officials with rich experience in local governance.

With the assistance of this group of people and the continuous support from mainland Daxia, the style of the entire Qushui County has long become incompatible with this world.

Countless towns are constantly being renovated and expanded, and Huxia Empire-style buildings are springing up. In addition to those prosperous cities, changes in rural areas are also not to be ignored.

The land was re-leveled and then redistributed according to the population and labor force. After the fields were surveyed and the households were registered, the large tracts of land that originally belonged to the nobles and wealthy businessmen were allocated to farmers with little or no land.

These people who owned land became Shenzhou's most staunch supporters, and with the guidance and help of local officials sent by Shenzhou, they quickly started production activities.

At the same time, the Longyan Army was divided into countless small teams, which continued to fight against bandits and criminals in Qushui County.

As the public security environment improves, business and trade will naturally flourish.

After the old order was completely destroyed, the newly established order was so good that it drove those people who had been exploited to the point of not being able to survive for a long time crazy.
