Of course, the most important issue is still talent.

Gu Wei frowned, looked at the list Zhou Cisui handed over, sighed deeply, and wished he and Si Nan's staff could be split into ten.

Sorting out the population, promoting the system, educating the people, abolishing and rebuilding...which one of these does not require talents?

But Sinan is already short of civil servants, so where can we find enough to send to Guangwu?

"A Ling, what do you think we should do—"

Gu Wei turned his head and wanted to ask Xie Ling questions as usual, but suddenly realized that Xie Ling had been gone for almost half a month.

It’s already been half a month.

He's still not used to it.

Not used to sleeping alone.

I get used to getting an extra basin of hot water every morning.

When she speaks, she always says "A Ling A Ling".

I always want to hug that person's petite body.

Gu Wei, who was always a gentleman, rarely showed his youthful mischievousness and said to the air: "A Ling, I miss you so much."

His thoughts came back to normal and Gu Wei returned to his business again, when suddenly an idea came to him.

The main task of civil servants is to educate the people, so can he allow the people of Sinan to be civil servants?

Sinan’s adult school has already taught five or six batches of students.

Nowadays, almost all the people in Sinan can read and write and do basic arithmetic.

The most important thing is to be familiar with the work point system.

Gu Wei immediately told Fengjian Qingli about this matter and asked him to promote it.

The boy's eyes sparkled and he ran out in a hurry.

Now that the big problem of talent has been solved, Gu Wei looked in the direction of Xie Ling and began to miss her again.

Gu Wei felt somewhat helpless, chuckled, took out a scroll from the desk, and began to paint.

The woman in the painting is dressed in blue and has a sweet smile.

……..

On the ship, Xie Ling sneezed.

She felt her own pulse and said, "Strange, I don't have a cold, why am I sneezing non-stop?"

Wanniang smiled meaningfully, "Someone must be missing you."

Xie Ling laughed, "Will we be able to reach Tonghua City soon?"

Wanniang nodded, "Master Zhubo must be careful. Tonghua City is located on the border of Beijiang, Nanzhao, Weizhao, and Dongling, and has always been a lawless area.

I will wait for you at the dock for three days. If anything goes wrong, run back and I will pick you up."

Xie Ling was surprised at Wanniang's thoughtfulness, so she didn't refuse her kindness, "Okay, then I'll thank Wanniang first."

That evening, Xie Ling arrived at the Tonghua City Pier.

The wind was so strong at the dock that it almost blew away people's bones.

Xie Ling wore men's clothes and put some powder on her face to darken her skin before she went down from the deck.

From far away, you can hear the noise from the distant streets and the voices of various vendors hawking their wares.

There was an endless stream of ships at the dock, with people coming and going. They were all large sailing ships with almost no place to dock, and the ships were piled high with wooden boxes.

There was a wooden box tilted, and Xie Ling saw with her sharp eyes that it was full of gold!

Xie Ling didn't know whether Tonghua City was too rich or Beijiang was too poor.

Xie Ling prefers the latter.

After all, this dynasty itself was one in which the gap between the rich and the poor was extremely large.

In a corner unknown to her, there was an aristocratic family that was as wealthy as a country and had great power.

Sinan is still too young.

Any larger force could crush them right now.

Xie Ling suppressed her inner turmoil, lowered her voice, and asked a random guy who was carrying goods, "Brother, do you know where to take the ship to Wei Zhaoguo?"

The eldest brother looked Xie Ling up and down. "Are you from outside? Our docks are divided into people and goods. People should go to the west of the city to get on the train. This is the east of the city! You have to go through the city!"

"Thank you!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Ling turned around and walked down the dock, intending to cross the snack street in front and go into the city.

She didn't know that the big brother just stared at her back for a long time and wanted to say something, but when he saw Xie Ling had walked away, he shut up because he didn't want to bother.
