Chapter 457: Making progress while maintaining stability
Shen Yue recorded Duguxue's appointment, and then said again: "Master of the country, since the Ministry of Punishment has been established, should the Ministry of War also be established?"
Qi Feihong said: "The Ministry of War will naturally be established, but it is really difficult to select a candidate for the Minister of War... Does Mr. Shen have anyone to recommend?"
Shen Yue shook her head slightly: "I have no suitable candidate to recommend, and I have also paid attention to this matter. However, in our Qilin Kingdom, it is really difficult to find someone who is good at managing the army, is familiar with the art of war, has high moral standing, and has deep strength. There are some among you seniors who meet one or a few of them, but not all of them."
Qi Feihong looked at everyone in embarrassment: "You might as well nominate yourself, express your thoughts, and let us see who is more suitable to be the Minister of the Ministry of War."
Chi Yan said: "I originally thought that the Lord of the Kingdom is the most suitable person. But I also know that the Lord of the Kingdom has too many things to take care of. I am afraid that I will not have the energy to continue to be in charge of the Ministry of War and handle various matters in the Ministry of War."
Huangfu Cheng also said: "Because of this, it is necessary to establish the Ministry of War and select the Minister of War to share the worries of the king. How about selecting someone from the army to be the Minister of War?"
Yinggu said: "We are all generals in the army and are not suitable to hold the post of Minister of War, so we should be excluded. In addition to us, there are also seniors Fairy Yuqing, Senior Zheng Hong, Senior Yuan Ying, and Qinggu Son, Da Laohei and others can always find a suitable candidate."
Huangfu Cheng muttered: "Senior Xuannv Yuqing and the three of them are the three generals of our Qilin Kingdom. They are not under anyone's jurisdiction and have a transcendent status. I'm afraid they don't want to take up the post of Minister of the Ministry of War. Qing Guzi, Da Lao Hei They are all accustomed to freedom, and I am afraid they are not willing to take up the post of Minister of the Ministry of War."
Shen Yue said: "It is indeed true. I have asked these people in private, but none of them want to be the Minister of the Ministry of War. The Minister of the Ministry of War is very important. Originally, the Lord of the Kingdom personally took charge of it. In a hurry, it was difficult to find a suitable person to replace him. Lord of the country."
Qi Feihong said: "In this case, I will continue to be in charge of the Ministry of War and wait until a suitable candidate is found to discuss it. Do you have anything else to solve? Please bring up anything you have today. We will try our best to solve it today. Take care of everything. In the new year, we cannot rest on our previous achievements, but should continue to work hard to carry forward the Qilin Kingdom."
Everyone said yes, and Jin Min came out and said: "Master of the country, these days, I have led people to mine spirit stones in the spirit stone veins. I found that the mining of spirit stones becomes more difficult and dangerous as you go further. Our miners lack the tools to use them. , and also lacks necessary safety facilities. I request the approval of the king to equip miners with excellent tools and necessary safety equipment to ensure the safety of miners and stabilize the output of spiritual stones."
Qi Feihong said: "Master Jin has full authority to handle this matter, and there is no need to ask me for instructions. I have only one request, which is to ensure the safety of all miners."
Jin Min clasped his fists and said, "Thank you very much for the country's support for the miners. I will make arrangements right away."
Qi Feihong nodded slightly, glanced at Nalan Xi who seemed to have something to say, and asked, "Does Master Nalan have something to say?"
Nalan Xi said: "Your Majesty, I received a letter from Li Zheng, the lord of White Tiger City, yesterday, requesting that half of the citizens of White Tiger City come to our Qilin Kingdom. Preliminary estimates suggest that half of the citizens of White Tiger City are about five hundred Wan, if you come to Qilin Kingdom all at once, I'm afraid that the existing houses, food, etc. in Qilin Kingdom won't be enough."
Qi Feihong said: "We will naturally give priority to the people of Brother Li Zheng. Sir Jiang, how many people can we accommodate in the existing vacant rooms in Qilin Country?"
Jiang Jun clasped his fists and said: "Reporting to your majesty, the existing vacant buildings can accommodate at most 300,000 people. If Mr. Li Zheng brings five million people, the gap will be too big. Even if I work day and night, I can only build it in one month."
If we have to provide accommodation for 200,000 people, I am afraid that we will not be able to accept so many people into our Qilin Kingdom in a short period of time."
Qi Feihong frowned and said, "Why is building houses so slow?"
Jiang Jun said: "The king of the country previously ordered a large number of immortal cultivators to join the army. Most of the workers under me have joined the army. Now I am seriously short of manpower, so the progress of building construction has slowed down. In addition, there are a large number of people every month.
When they came to Qilin Kingdom, all the built houses were given to them to live in, and there were not many empty houses left."
Qi Feihong suddenly realized: "I see, I have been negligent. In this way, there is no war in the near future, you can mobilize troops from the army to participate in the construction of new houses. I give you 150,000 soldiers, can you build enough houses for five million in one month?
A house for people to live in?”
Jiang Jun shook his head: "It will take at least three months. This requires Master Jin and Master Nalan to ensure sufficient supplies and spiritual coins. Otherwise, it may take more time."
"I'll give you 300,000 soldiers, and recruit 100,000 civilians from Qilin City. Do you think it can be completed in one month?" Qi Feihong did not want to delay Li Zheng's arrival in Qilin Kingdom, and was determined to complete the house construction project within one month.
Jiang Jun saw Qi Feihong's thoughts, and after thinking for a while, he slowly said: "I will try my best, but one month is still too little. Even if there are enough manpower, I am afraid that materials and the like will not be able to meet the demand...
"
Jin Min said: "The Lingbichen needed to purchase the materials will be fully guaranteed and will never waste time on this."
Nalan Xi also said: "I will recruit 100,000 migrant workers as soon as possible. If there is one less person, Lord Chiang can just ask for me. As for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of all personnel, I will do my best to ensure that Lord Chiang will not be held back."
"
Jiang Jun felt a little more relieved, nodded and said: "In this case, I am a little more sure. Please help me, sir. Otherwise, there is really no confidence in completing the task assigned by the king within a month."
Nalan Xi and Jin Min said together: "Don't worry, we will go all out."
Seeing that Jiang Jun was really in trouble, Qi Feihong said: "I will discuss with Brother Li Zheng to see if they can come to Qilin Country later to give Mr. Jiang more time to prepare. But this matter should be done sooner rather than later.
, after all, White Tiger City is now in the hands of Lu Hao. Once the news leaks out and Lu Hao knows about it, Brother Li Zheng will be in danger."
Jiang Jun clasped his fists and said: "I understand, I will prepare now and do my best to complete the tasks assigned by the king as soon as possible."
Qi Feihong nodded: "Thank you. When this matter is over, I will treat you all to a drink."
Jiang Jun and others said together: "Your Majesty, you are too polite."
Qi Feihong smiled slightly: "You have all worked hard for the Qilin Kingdom. I have nothing to thank you for. I can only tell you that any member of the Qilin Kingdom will receive the full protection of the Qilin Kingdom."
Everyone said together: "Thank you, Lord." Everyone remembered Qi Feihong's words, and they all seemed to see some hope. This is a promise as the Lord, and also a promise made on behalf of the Qilin Kingdom. It can be said to be the most important thing.
precious.
Fairy Nihuang said at this time: "Qilin Kingdom currently only has one city, Qilin City. If it is besieged by the enemy, problems will definitely arise over time. I think we should build another city near Qilin City as the acropolis of Qilin Village.
Echoing Qilin City, it becomes a cornering force to contain and resist invading enemies."
Zhao Hai said: "What Fairy Nihuang said makes sense. A city is indeed not conducive to defense. There should be a coordinated defense such as an acropolis. I see that there is a large forest to the north of Qilin Village, and there is also a large lake.
It would be better to use that lake as the boundary, and build a new city from the south of the lake to our Qilin Village area."
Qi Feihong said: "The name of the lake is Moon Lake. Viewed from a high altitude, the entire lake is a standard circle. I once ordered people to measure it. This lake has a radius of thousands of miles. It is said to be a lake, but it is not much different from the sea. If it is measured by
We are building a city with Moon Lake as the boundary, but I am afraid that the border is too long and will not be conducive to our protection of the entire city."
Zhao Hai said: "Then build several cities, both as acropolis of Qilin Village, to resist the enemies coming from the north."
Qi Feihong shook his head: "Currently we don't have such strength, we can only wait until later. What we have to do now is to enhance the defense capabilities of Qilin City. Defend Qilin City first, and then think of ways to expand the territory.
step by step."
Zhao Hai and others were silent. They may have thought that the Qilin Kingdom was now developing well and could start to expand its territory. However, Qi Feihong had different opinions. He wanted stability and refused to make rash advances.
Striving for progress while maintaining stability may be one of the rules that anyone who is starting to start a business should follow. Although rash advancement may yield big gains, it may also lead to total annihilation.
