The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

After the peace treaty was signed, it was already noon. Zixuan used his mind to command the chefs in the space villa to prepare a delicious meal.

He also ordered Ji Lao Da to put the food in the corridor of the city wall after it was ready.

Half an hour later, a sumptuous lunch was placed on the round table in the corridor.

Ji Liu led Duke Ling of Qi, Yan Ruo, and several accompanying officials to the dining table.

Zixuan took a bottle of Maotai, filled the glasses of Duke Ling of Qi and Yan Ruo, and said to Duke Ling of Qi, "Your Majesty, Zixuan offers you a toast today."

"Firstly, I would like to thank the king for his kindness to Zixuan. He allowed me to inherit the title. I will never forget this kindness."

"Secondly, Zixuan would like to thank the king for coming to Fugui City in person to resolve the misunderstanding with this humble minister."

"Here, I, your humble servant, wish that from now on, you and I, our ruler and subject, will put aside our past grievances, shake hands and make peace, and work together for the eternal cause of the Great Qi!"

Good! Duke Ling of Qi drank the wine in his cup in one gulp: "City Lord Zixuan, you said it very well!"

"I swear here that as long as Zixuan does not rebel and restore his country, Fugui City will live and die with the State of Qi!"

After listening to this, Zixuan drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

After Duke Ling of Qi finished the wine, he smacked his lips and said with a lingering aftertaste, "City Lord Zixuan, what kind of wine is this? It's so fragrant and sweet."

Zixuan smiled softly: "Your Majesty, this wine is called Maotai, and it was purchased from an overseas merchant."

"Oh? I wonder if this wine is enough. Could you give me a few jars?"

"Your Majesty, this wine is running low. I reserved this bottle specifically for Your Majesty."

"Because the journey is long, the merchant hasn't come since last time."

"Oh, is that so? If that merchant comes again next time, he must leave a few jars for me."

Zixuan smiled and nodded: "Okay, my king."

Everyone was enjoying the meal, clinking glasses and chatting with each other. It was a joyful and harmonious scene, very lively and lively.

An hour later, Duke Ling of Qi, drunkenly, took Zixuan's hand, looked at him with tearful eyes and said, "Zixuan, I have the wealthy city you built, and I have nothing to worry about."

Zixuan had also drunk a bit too much. She patted Qi Linggong's shoulder heavily and said, "Uncle, just, don't worry. As long as I, Zixuan, am here, I will definitely, hiccup, keep your family safe."

Duke Ling of Qi also said drunkenly: "Good, good, good, I didn't misjudge you."

In this way, several people toasted each other and started drinking slowly.

The meal lasted until around 3:00 p.m. Duke Ling of Qi was so drunk that he was carried to his carriage by his followers.

Yan Ruo bowed to Zixuan and said, "City Lord Zixuan, we will take our leave now. We will meet again later."

Zixuan was supported by two maids and waved his hand: "Big brother, take care. See you later."

The next morning, it was already bright and Zixuan slowly woke up from his sleep.

The first feeling she had when she opened her eyes was a splitting headache and a dizzy feeling in her head.

Her throat was so dry that it was about to smoke. She licked her cracked lips and called Zi Chi softly: "Zi Chi, I need some water."

Look, Zi Chi had been waiting outside the door for a long time. When she heard Zi Xuan calling her, she hurried in with the teapot.

Zixuan gulped down several cups of tea and asked Zichi, "Has the King of Qi left?"

Zi Chi smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, the King of Qi has left."

"Well, I drank too much yesterday and don't remember much about what happened yesterday. I hope I didn't lose my composure."

Zi Chi quickly looked away: "No, the king did not lose his composure."

"That's good. Go prepare breakfast. I'm hungry. After we finish eating, we'll return to the city."

On the way back to the city, Zixuan sat in the carriage, thinking about what happened yesterday, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

The reason why her attitude towards King Qi changed was because of the clear and logical analysis given to her by Boss Ji and Qi Jiu in the space the day before yesterday.

The two said that Zixuan's purpose of traveling to ancient times was that the ancestor of Tiandao gave her a city so that she could enjoy the life of being the city lord.

If you want to enjoy life in peace and stability, you cannot have a falling out with the State of Qi.

Fugui City is surrounded by the sea on three sides and is located in the northeast of Qi State. If you want to leave the city and go to other countries by land, Qi State must be the only way.

If Fugui City wants to develop in the future, it must have trade relations with the various vassal states.

If we have a falling out with the State of Qi and they block the road, we will have to take a detour by sea.

If she did that, the disadvantages would outweigh the advantages... Thinking of this, she sighed softly: "Oh, forget it, let's put an end to the past grudges."

"One must always look forward to the future. For the prosperity of my own Fugui City, I will no longer argue with the King of Qi. Let's just write it off.

Thinking of this, she closed her eyes with relief.

After returning to the palace, she immediately entered the space and summoned Qi Jiu and Ji Lao Da with her spiritual sense.

After the two men exchanged greetings, Zixuan said to Qijiu, "Old Qi, have we decided on a location for building a seaside power station?"

"Your Majesty, I've found it. It's on the beach outside the east gate of Fugui City."

"That's the central axis of Fugui City. Once the power station is built, it will be convenient to transmit electricity to various places."

"In addition, a power station will be built in Donglai County to the west to divert water from the Jiaohe and Laihe rivers into the power plant reservoir."

"In this case, these two power stations will be enough for the entire Fugui City."

Okay, Zixuan nodded. "How many people are needed to build two power stations?"

"Two million soldiers, plus the local civilians, are enough."

"Well, I'll leave this matter to you and Boss Ji to arrange."

At the court meeting the next day, Zixuan asked the eunuch to read the peace treaty signed between her and the King of Qi to all the ministers.

The ministers were also very excited after hearing this. Prime Minister Bo Qu came out and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't expect such a big matter to be solved so easily by you."

"Your Majesty is truly a genius at governing a country. With Your Majesty here, Fugui City will surely prosper and last forever!"

The ministers also responded, "The king is a genius, the king is a genius..."

Zixuan waved his hand and said, "My dear ministers, there is no need to do this. I am still young and have a long way to go."

"As long as everyone works together, we will definitely build Fugui City. Now, I have something to announce."

She looked at Qiwu and said, "Master Qi, you go ahead and tell me!"

"Yes." Qi Wu agreed and took out a roster. "My Lords, this roster records the corruption and bribery cases that my Inspectorate has uncovered in recent days."

"There is also a list of criminals who have seized fertile land and harmed civilians. I will read it to you now."

After a while, Qiwu finished reading out the names of all the remaining officials of Zhangzui, including nearly twenty officials.

The officials whose names were called were so frightened that they trembled all over and collapsed to the ground.

He kowtowed to Zixuan repeatedly: "My king, please spare my life. I know my crime and I will never do it again. Please spare my life..."

Zixuan looked at them coldly: "What! Do you admit your guilt? Tell me, how should I deal with you!"

"Your Majesty, I will do whatever you want to me, but I only ask that you spare my life."

"Well, in that case, I will confiscate your property and send you and your families to the mining area to work. Are you willing?"

These people nodded desperately: "I am willing, I am willing."

Zixuan glanced at Yike and said, "Well, Commander, I'll leave this matter to you."

After these people were taken away, Zixuan activated his human identification technique again and checked the loyalty of these ministers.

Of all the ministers in the palace, one-third had a loyalty level of over ninety, and two-thirds had a full one hundred. She nodded in satisfaction.

From then on, there would be no more spies from the King of Qi in his court, and the government would become more and more clear.
