Under Zhuge Liang's rule, many transaction details were clarified in the city of Beiting Protectorate.

These details are posted in any corner of the city, and everyone can read and understand the laws of the government as long as they are literate.

The markets and officials in the city are very serious and responsible, and are very efficient in handling problems.

After further understanding, Guo Peng learned that Zhuge Liang had implemented a very clear accountability system.

Once there is a problem in a certain market, the mayor will be directly held accountable, and the mayor will take all his responsibilities, and then carefully hold the responsibilities of the persons under him.

After pursuing them one by one, the mayors who manage the market were all smart and capable, with a gaze.

In order to ensure there is no problem, the mayor inspected and visited the market all day long, fearing that any problems in the market would lead to punishment.

Just punishment is not enough, but rewards are required.

The best market is selected once a month. All officials who are elected as the best market can receive a bonus and get priority promotion.

In contrast, if it is considered the worst market, all officials will be held accountable collectively, and their situation is worrying from top to bottom.

Zhuge Liang also publicly claimed that he would send people to visit every market in the eight cities in casual clothes, so that they could report what they saw with their own eyes to him, so one-sided words were not easy to use with him.

Under such control, the markets in the eight cities of Beiting Protectorate were lively, from the opening of the market to the closing of the market at sunrise to the closing of the market at sunset, there was always a lot of people.

The city is not big, but there are many business travelers. Once there are more business travelers, there are more transactions. If there are more transactions, the commercial tax will naturally increase.

More than that.

Guo Peng walked along the way, among some counties in western Liangzhou, he found that many county towns had poor infrastructure and were backward. Some counties did not have a few public toilets, and the city was filled with an unpleasant smell.

Due to the large number of business trips and many livestock in these cities, such as camels, horses, etc., they are easy to excrete in the streets and are extremely large in number. In the past, such things were considered common, but now such things are unacceptable.

Too smelly and too dirty.

Some cities will have special people to deal with it, turning waste into treasure.

Some cities do not know whether it is because of insufficient money or officials inaction, and do not care much, so that the streets and alleys are smelly, which makes Guo, who is used to the fresh air, very unhappy.

Along the way, Guo Peng has dismissed three county magistrates and a vote of county officials and officials, and ordered the local government to make rectification within a specified period of time.

The Beiting Protectorate is not like this. The city is very clean and there are stone slabs to lay main roads. There are public toilets in the city, which are very hygienic and have no unpleasant fishy smell.

As infrastructure keeps up, more caravans will be willing to come here. People always like clean and hate dirty things.

Zhuge Liang had great achievements? He gained benefits? He also gained a good reputation? He had a very good reputation in the Beiting Protectorate.

And those merchants who travel around the world will also bring Zhuge Liang's reputation to their destinations and hometowns? Make Zhuge Liang's reputation even more resounding.

Now among the two prefectures of Yongliang and the three prefectures of the Western Regions? The most well-known official is Zhuge Liang.

"What official is the most competent and which official can do the best? Don't listen to officials, you have to listen to common people and common people? They are the people who feel this most directly. There is a word in the officialdom? It is called protecting each other, and officials flattering each other? That is a very common thing..."

Guo Peng brought Guo Chengzhi by his side and constantly taught him life experience.

From various life experiences summarized by Mr. Guo’s intrigue for 40 years? For the fifteen-year-old Guo Chengzhi, it is tantamount to the Sunflower Book.

It is a dream to expect him to be able to grasp these things right now? Even if you take the initiative to castrate yourself, you can't do it.

Guo Peng doesn't expect these, but Guo Peng hopes he can remember them? When it needs to be used, this forty years of experience will come in handy.

After walking and watching the scenery of the Western Regions of the Empire, the group finally arrived at the Gancheng, the capital of the Beiting Protectorate.

Guo Peng finally met Zhuge Liang again, whom he had not seen in ten years.

When Guo Peng established the Duchy of Wei, Zhuge Liang came to surrender to him.

After the establishment of the Wei Empire, in the fourth year of Yande, Zhuge Liang volunteered to leave Luoyang, and until now, the first year of Xingyuan.

Zhuge Liang has been a central official by his side for seven years and has been in charge of local governments for ten years. He is no longer a young bird, but a goshawk who has been struggling in the officialdom for seventeen years.

When he left the central government, Zhuge Liang was twenty-five years old and was in full swing, which was the best time in his life.

Now, he is thirty-five years old and is already a mature middle-aged man.

It can be said that he dedicated the most precious decade of his life to the great development strategy of the Guo and Wei Empire, and made great contributions through hardships.

So, when Guo Peng saw Zhuge Liang again, he was sad to find that his skin had become rough.

When he left Luoyang, what a handsome and handsome young man he was.

Now it is like a middle-aged social animal who is in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou and has been beaten by the public, car loans and mortgages, and has a weekend at home.

The heavy pressure made him exhausted both physically and mentally, and he couldn't even raise his head.

No, different.

Such a miserable middle-aged social animal would not have the bright eyes of Zhuge Liang.

Although his skin became rough and his complexion became dull, those eyes clearly still looked like Yan De had asked for it in front of him for four years.

Guo Peng was filled with mixed feelings for a moment.

"My minister Zhuge Liang, pay homage to the Supreme Emperor."

Zhuge Liang bowed and bowed in front of Guo Peng.

Guo Peng stepped forward with infinite emotion and helped Zhuge Liang up.

"Kong Ming, it's been ten years."

"I haven't received a visit for ten years, and the Supreme Emperor is still so energetic and full of energy, and I am extremely happy."

“Hahahahaha.”

Guo Peng laughed endlessly.

Zhuge Liang has never been a low emotional intelligence character who can't speak. He is a person with high emotional intelligence. He speaks very nicely and never offends others in words.

When talking to him, everything will feel so interesting, even if it is just boring scriptures, you can tell him the flowers.

As the capital of the Beiting Protectorate, it also has the foundation of the Western Regions Protectorate. After being built by Zhuge Liang, it undoubtedly became the tallest and widest city in the Western Regions.

In this city, Guo Peng could feel the smell of such a big city.

At least after you pass through the city gate and enter the city, you will feel a sudden enlightenment, rather than the feeling of [just this].

To be honest, many small cities in Liangzhou can bring this feeling to Guo Peng.

After entering the city, I felt that the city was very narrow. I felt an inexplicable sense of oppression at first glance, and it was uncomfortable to see it, and it was also uncomfortable to live in it.

But it doesn't feel like this.

After coming in, I suddenly realized that the road in front of me was very spacious, bright, and full of light, which made people happy.

Not only that, the buildings on both sides of the street are also quite organized. Unlike the low buildings in small towns, they are crowded together like beggars hiding from the rain, but are spread out in an orderly manner, not crowded, but seem calm.

I feel that the layout style of the entire city is very similar to Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang's official office was transformed from Cao Xiu's official office. It was said to be a renovation, but in fact it had not moved much. It repaired and added some personal favorite tools. The overall layout had not been moved or large-scale construction was not carried out.

Zhuge Liang naturally had no other houses besides the official office, so there was no need for this.

It is a place like Gancheng. No matter how convenient the transportation is, the house cannot be sold at a price, and no one will necessarily want it for free.

"After all, he is a high-ranking official of two thousand stones. Why do you live in such a simple place? Didn't I give you enough salary?"

Taking Guo Chengzhi in the main hall, Guo Peng looked at Zhuge Liang with a smile.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said while making tea for Guo Peng: "I am here to work, not here to travel around the mountains and rivers. It doesn't matter how I live in myself. What matters is how the people in the city live and whether it is comfortable. Moreover, don't I have this tea here?"

Zhuge Liang presented a cup of tea with both hands and handed it to Guo Peng.

Guo Peng took it, uncovered the lid and looked inside.

"Is this what the emperor gave you or your brother gave it to you?"

"This is the tea that your Majesty rewards all the world officials after he ascended the throne. I have luckily obtained some."

"Lucky? Kong Ming, what you said is becoming more and more humble. I am no longer the emperor, but the emperor. Do you still use such humility in front of me? Ordinary people can't afford to drink tea, but you have two or two thousand stones at home, can't you afford to drink tea?"

Guo Peng asked with a smile.

"It's not that I can't afford to drink, I just don't want to give up."

Zhuge Liang chuckled and said, "When I think that these teas can be sold to places like Kushan and Anxu, I can sell them several times the price to make up for the country's use, so I am not willing to drink them."

"Hahahahaha!"

Guo Peng put down the tea bowl, laughed loudly, and patted his thighs, making him so happy.

Then, Guo Peng introduced Zhuge Liang's eldest grandson Guo Chengzhi and asked Guo Chengzhi to say hello to Zhuge Liang.

After hearing many words of appreciation from Guo Peng to Zhuge Liang along the way, Guo Chengzhi was very curious about him.

"Along the way, my father kept telling me about the affairs of the Lord of the Mansion. His words were full of appreciation. He said it no less than twenty times just by praising me. My husband, this is not my false statement. My father is really going all the way, praising you all the way."

Guo Chengzhi said this and made Zhuge Liang look serious.

Zhuge Liang looked at Guo Peng, and after a while, he gave a long gift.

"I never thought that the Supreme Emperor would still be so concerned about me."

Guo Peng reached out and held Zhuge Liang's hand.

"Ten years ago, you said to me, you wanted to see the outside world, you wanted to start from the grassroots level, think carefully and carefully what you did in the central government and what will cause in the local area.
