"Don't be nervous. Polaris City is nearing completion and will become the largest trading market in the Northern Territory. Lord Qin is here in advance to inspect the situation. There's no need to inform anyone," Wu Ming reminded him from the side.
Wang Zhi lowered his head and whispered, "I understand, I understand..."
Afterwards, he took Qin Che and the others on a tour of the administrative district.
The streets are clean, and the staff are well-paid; the overall standard is roughly one level above average in Lingbi.
Most of the residents here migrated from the Oasis Alliance, and the royal court is responsible for some specific matters.
The Xiang faction has been expanding rapidly in Lingbi recently.
Since the restructuring of the desert industry, people have been placed in various sectors.
Gu Yu is old but not dead, and his disciples and grand-disciples are all his students.
These people formed a faction and became the backbone of the government.
Although Gu Yu had been expanding the influence of the Prime Minister's faction, he did things in a down-to-earth manner and never crossed Qin Che's bottom line.
So it was never dealt with.
Even if Qin Che didn't mention it, Sa Fanyin would report to him on the situation at the royal court every month.
It's perfectly normal for a baby's elbows to bend outwards.
Safanyin was, after all, his lawfully wedded wife.
If not him, then who?
It was also because Safanyin was intelligent and saw things more clearly than anyone else that she knew who had worked hard to achieve everything she had today.
This Wang Zhi is quite adept at handling things.
They arranged the best rooms in the administrative district for Qin Che and his group.
He built a villa around the administrative district with his own private funds.
The house is new and no one lives there yet.
Please invite Qin Che to come and stay.
They said they wanted to absorb some of the Regent's dragon aura. Goodness, Qin Che didn't mind; in fact, he quite liked hearing that.
"Elder Wang gave up his wedding room to Lord Qin, so where will you live?" Wu Ming asked with a smile.
Wang Zhi chuckled and said, "I've been swamped with trivial matters and haven't been home for a long time. I haven't lived in this house for a single day since it was renovated; I've been sleeping in the office."
Upon hearing this, Qin Che behind him gave a half-smile.
Over the years, he has also been influenced by his own power, developing the demeanor of a person in a position of authority.
Some things are obvious, but he just doesn't care.
Subordinates currying favor with their superiors is a common practice in China, and it's something that can't be changed; it's better to try to adapt.
But remember, never forget your original intention, and stay true to yourself.
After Wang Zhi left, Wu Ming came up to him and asked softly, "Where are we going to look?"
"Aren't there two markets here, East and West? I heard they're quite lively. Let's rest for a day and go check them out tomorrow," Qin Che said with a smile.
When they went to sleep that night, they discovered that Wang Zhi had arranged a guard company outside the villa, which did not leave quietly until dawn.
This guy is really good at getting things done.
He knew perfectly well that the villa was inhabited by psionicists, and Qin Che himself was a powerful superhuman; how could he not have noticed his little tricks?
They deliberately sent people to protect them.
Isn't this just for Qin Che's benefit?
Okay, Qin Che appreciates it.
The next day, he took only Wu Ming and Wei Tuozhi with him to take a look at the east and west markets.
"Outside the North, within a radius of thousands of kilometers, there are many wasteland settlements. Before Polaris City was established, most of these areas were self-sufficient and lacked a large market to promote their production, so they were always very depressed."
"Now that the city has been established, the news has spread through merchants, and more and more people are coming and going. I heard that in the past two years, some wasteland tribes have even planned to join Polaris City and migrate here to live. Wang Zhi's strategy is also very open, and he plans to absorb all of these outsiders."
Qin Che nodded, listening to Wei Tuozhi report the current situation beside him.
He's from the intelligence department, so he knows a lot about things.
Although the Awakening Department was merged into the military, some of its members were also merged into the Intelligence Department.
However, Qin Che did not abolish the 'Special Operations Team'.
The purpose is to be ready to respond whenever summoned.
I've been with him for so many years.
They had long since cultivated a spirit of loyalty.
Wei Tuozhi had clearly done his homework beforehand.
After listening to the report, Qin Che couldn't help but laugh: "Wang Zhi's strategy is not wrong. Attracting foreign people to settle here permanently will have many benefits for the economy and production. It's just that management will be more troublesome. These people come from different ethnic groups, have different cultures, and some even use different languages."
"It's not easy to get these outsiders to cooperate."
Wei Tuozhi jokingly said, "Wang Zhi is the most outstanding among the new generation of the Prime Minister's faction. Gu Yu once spoke highly of him, saying that he had the potential to govern a region. He was greatly promoted and had to return to the Glory Court every year to report on his duties and meet with the Spirit King."
Qin Che narrowed his eyes.
The relationship between the Royal Court and the Cabinet is currently ambiguous.
They call each other friends, but they're not truly sincere.
They were enemies, but not hated enough.
A major reason is the marriage alliance between Qin Che and Wang Ting.
The effects of the Safan chant are truly significant, I'm not exaggerating.
If he hadn't married her, Wang Ting's behavior would probably have been even more unseemly.
After all, legally speaking, Qin Che's legitimacy was bestowed upon him by the Spirit King.
However, in terms of strength and status, the Glory Court had no choice but to yield to Qin Che, since the latter held considerable power.
Seeing Qin Che's expression, Wei Tuozhi leaned closer and whispered, "The strategy going forward should still focus on winning over the prime minister's faction..."
Qin Che waved his hand to interrupt him: "No need to say anything, I know what I'm doing."
Wei Tuozhi nodded.
In fact, Qin Che had already planned it out in his heart.
It's just not the right time yet...
They arrived at the West Market, a bustling place with people and vehicles.
Some mountain tribes are pulling horse-drawn carts to shops to buy goods, hoping to bring them back safely.
The civilized people, well-off, dressed in silk, with private bodyguards, strolled through the market with smiles on their faces.
