Half a month later, Xie Ling and his team approached Beijiang River.
The cruise ship went down from the Huai River upstream of the Qing River. As soon as it entered the Beijiang River, a majestic large ship came quickly from the distance.
The soldier on the deck shouted, "Who are you? This is Beijiang. Do you have a pass?"
Gu Wei stood at the bow and asked the helmsman to steer the boat closer.
On the opposite ship, the soldiers lined up with their swords drawn, which gleamed coldly in the sunlight, and spoke very rudely.
"The one on the opposite side, stop immediately!"
The two boats were getting closer and closer, allowing the soldiers on the opposite side to see Gu Wei's appearance clearly.
The soldiers' eyes widened and their swords and guns almost fell to the ground.
Everyone bent down at the same time, knelt on one knee, and shouted to Gu Wei: "Greetings, Lord!"
Gu Wei did not proclaim himself emperor, and everyone below him called him Lord.
Gu Wei waved his hand, "No need to be polite, you did a great job."
The ship sailed smoothly all the way to Qinghe County.
From afar, you can hear the noise of people in the distance. Boats are coming and going on the river, and it becomes even more lively after they dock.
The banks of the Qing River were crowded with boats, merchants were coming and going in an endless stream, pedestrians carrying loads on their shoulders, vendors setting up stalls... forming a prosperous picture.
It was near evening and the colorful lights on the willow trees by the river had been lit. From a distance, it looked like a colorful dragon swimming around, casting brilliant shadows on the river.
The disciples of Mingyue Island leaned on the deck and all exclaimed “Wow!”
“It’s so prosperous.”
“So beautiful!”
…
Xie Ling was also a little surprised.
In just three years, I didn’t expect Qinghe to have developed to this point.
It was completely different from the time of exile.
Gu Wei bent his eyes, "After unifying Beijiang, Qinghe County was opened. Qinghe is a transportation fortress, connecting many river trunks of Beijiang. It quickly became lively after it was opened."
Xie Ling nodded, "It's very lively, what about their system?"
Gu Wei's eyes were filled with pride. "Of course it was my wife who came up with the work point system. Now the whole Beijiang is promoting the work point system. Except for some remote mountain villages, all of them have developed it in full swing."
Xie Ling shook her head and explained: "I've said it so many times, it's not me who came up with this idea, it was our predecessors who came up with it.
By the way, where do you get so many talented people to implement the system? Popularizing it among the people is also a big problem. Most of the people in Beijiang are illiterate. "
Xie Ling was very curious.
Gu Wei smiled and said, "It's okay, it's almost the same, anyway it's my wife's credit. As for talents, they are naturally cultivated.
In three years, thanks to my wife's school system, I established a new school in every place I went to, popularizing education. Now everyone in Beijiang can read and write, and there are more scholars than laymen."
Xie Ling's eyes lit up. "Not bad, not bad. Hey, what about my clinic? How are those kids?"
Gu Wei: "I separated them and established a medical clinic in each important prefecture in Beijiang to cultivate medical talents.
By the way, based on what you said before, I have also established many orphanages and nursing homes so that the helpless and lonely can have some support.
Also, in Beijiang, women can also serve as officials. You are their role model, and everyone knows you. "
As Gu Wei spoke, a vast scene seemed to unfold before Xie Ling's eyes.
In a world without war, people live and work in peace and contentment, the young have access to education, the elderly have a place to rely on, and the sick have access to medical care...
In three years, Beijiang has really changed and become what she imagined!
Xie Ling's eyes lit up, "Gu Wei, you are really great!"
Gu Wei bowed humbly, "I am just spreading my wife's policies. The people of Beijiang all know that these policies, schools, cement roads... were all established by a woman named Xie Ling.
Moreover, Xu Xingzhi, Zhou Cisui, the people of Fengjian family, the scholars of Fuyao Academy...without them, I can't achieve anything by myself. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts."
After three years, the frozen time thawed and began to flow again.
Many faces flashed through Xie Ling's mind in an instant.
Zhou Cisui, as shrewd as a fox, Xu Xingzhi, as cool as the wind and bright as the moon, Feng Jianqingli, as full of youthful vigor...
Thinking back to those days, we all discussed things together in the dilapidated county government office in Sinan.
Sometimes it rained heavily, and rainwater leaked through the green tiles, dripping onto Xu Xingzhi's head.
Fengjian Qingli jumped up, rolled up his sleeves and started to climb up the beams and tiles. In the end, he fell flat on his face and couldn't get out of bed for three days.
I remember that in order to come up with better policies, everyone stayed up all night discussing it by candlelight.
The next day, Pei Qiuyue cooked noodles and brought them to them, waking them up one by one from their dozing off on the table.
Thinking of every brick and tile, every blade of grass and every tree in Sinan...
Finally, the scene freezes on a starry night, and Xie Ling raises the wine glass in his hand, "We will definitely create a prosperous era, realize our ideals, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment!"
Many people raised their glasses together.
The bright moonlight shines down and falls into the wine bowl, and every sound of the wind that blows by hides the young people's ambitions.
And now, three years have passed.
They really achieved that seemingly unrealistic ideal.
Xie Ling's eyes moistened slightly and she nodded vigorously.
"Yes! It's all our joint efforts. I miss you all, too. After visiting my grandfather's family, we'll go back to Sinan right away!"
Gu Wei patted her head and said, "Everyone misses you very much. They always say that it would be great if Xie Zhubo was still here. She would definitely be able to come up with a solution."
Xie Ling laughed, "You guys are doing great without me."
Gu Wei's eyes were bright, "It would definitely be better if you were here."
