The next morning, Ye Fan woke up early and started practicing immediately after feeling energetic.
He must regain his dragon-slaying skills as soon as possible to cope with the possible worse situation in the future.
After feeling the dragon-slaying technique for two rounds, Ye Fan called Dugu Shang back and asked him to search for the whereabouts of the Thousand-Faced Killer.
Although the Thousand-Faced Killer was severely injured and may be unable to move for a month, Ye Fan will always feel uneasy if he is not dead.
He himself was not afraid of the Thousand Faced Killer, but he was afraid that the other party would stab Sun Dongliang and the others a few times from time to time, and then they would be in dire straits.
Dugu Shang also suggested calling Miao Fenglang over to help.
Ye Fan thought for a while and agreed.
Afterwards, Ye Fan started to deal with the affairs of the Governor's Mansion.
Sun Dongliang was a war general who was exhausted both mentally and physically from dealing with affairs in the war zone.
Moreover, he has been recruiting troops recently and has been so busy that he has not been able to properly recuperate his wounds. He has no extra energy to deal with daily life.
Qingcang can charge into the battle, but if he puts the documents on the table, he is guaranteed to fall asleep in three minutes.
Yang Xiyue had to guard the safety of the Governor's Mansion and pry open the Tiemuqing Treasury, but she didn't have time.
Therefore, Ye Fan cannot be a hands-off shopkeeper at all.
He could only run to the study and stare at a table of documents in a daze.
When Concubine Wei walked into the study carrying sugar water, Ye Fan was rubbing his head and throwing away the documents in his hand.
Seeing Ye Fan like this, Concubine Wei put the sugar water into Ye Fan's hand, then she picked up the document and started reading it.
She also took a pen to sketch on it and gave some opinions of her own.
Ye Fan asked curiously: "Can you understand these?"
Concubine Wei did not hide anything from Ye Fan, and nodded gently in response: "I saw some in the palace in the past."
"Although the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, with the state of the capital, no one cares too much about the rules."
"So I often read some briefings to judge the situation."
She added: "Of course, the most important thing is to find your news and whereabouts."
While Ye Fan retorted, he piled a bunch of information in front of Concubine Wei: "That's nonsense. Who said the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics? Women can hold up half the sky."
"Look, look, just look, if you are interested, I authorize you to handle it."
Ye Fan tried his best to trick Concubine Wei into handling affairs so that he could be a hands-off shopkeeper.
"You have really changed a lot. You would never let me ask about this before."
Concubine Wei rolled her eyes at Ye Fan, then took an important document and said: "Palace Master, among so many documents, this document on recruiting troops is the most important and urgent."
"We have controlled the entire Tiannan Province, but we only have 60,000 troops, of which 30,000 are still in Mingjiang."
"We must expand our troops as soon as possible, otherwise not only will we not be able to secure the fruits of victory, but Temujin will stab him at will."
"If Temujin organizes refugees to besiege official residences in various places, the whole situation will be a mess."
Concubine Wei said in a solemn tone: "Moreover, our military strength is too different from that of the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce, less than one-tenth. We must expand our troops."
"I also know that we need to recruit troops."
Ye Fan took the sugar water and drank it: "But now many people know that we are fighting against the World Chamber of Commerce, and in the next two years, we may fight to the death to determine the king."
"It doesn't matter if they type on the keyboard or shout slogans online to support us, but it is impossible for them to become soldiers."
Ye Fan also had a trace of worry on his brow: "That's why General Sun's recruitment has not improved."
Normal people will only side with the strong.
"This problem is not difficult to solve!"
Concubine Wei smiled sweetly at Ye Fan and pointed at another refugee statistics report: "Tiannan Province is the richest province with the most stable prices. Recently, there have been so many refugees gathered in the cold weather."
"A rough estimate is that there are about 230,000 refugees in Tiannan Province."
"Didn't Temujin evacuate 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers from the provincial capital war zone?"
"Renovate the vacant barracks, arrange for these refugees to live in them, and then provide them with food and subsidies."
"When all the refugees are gathered together, let them enjoy good food and wine, which will make them dependent."
"Close the door when winter comes."
"Then tell them that funds are limited and they cannot protect 200,000 people with food and wine, so they need to conduct an assessment."
"Ten thousand people are eliminated every week. Anyone who fails the test will get out of the camp and go to the streets to feel the cold ice and snow."
"In the end, only 100,000 people stayed."
"They are reluctant to give up good food and wine and a warm house, so they will definitely perform well and take assessments."
"In this way, not only can they be trained as quickly as possible in a military manner, but it can also allow them to perform at their best.
"And it can also screen out 100,000 people with the best physical fitness and fighting spirit."
Concubine Wei said softly: "In two months at most, we will have an additional 120,000 elite soldiers who can enforce the order."
Ye Fan stopped drinking the sugar water from his spoon and stared at the woman in front of him with bright eyes: "This will not only give us more strength, but also reduce a large number of dangerous people on the streets and reduce the number of crimes in Tiannan Province."
Big cut."
"The people of Tiannan Province also have a greater sense of belonging and will support us more."
He looked at Concubine Wei with great approval: "It's a good way to turn refugees into elite soldiers, but I'm afraid there will be many changes during the implementation."
Concubine Wei smiled: "If you have guns and money, nothing will happen."
"Okay, use one billion from the money confiscated by the Shanhai Society to implement this matter."
Ye Fan almost reached out and slapped Concubine Wei on the thigh: "How about giving Concubine Wei some practice on this matter?"
Concubine Wei was shocked: "You really want me to interfere with these affairs?
I’m just giving my opinion.”
"I'll leave all of this to you."
Ye Fan pushed a pile of information over with a loud bang: "The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, so I will let you do it. I also believe you can do it well."
"Okay, you go ahead and finish the affairs of the Governor's Mansion. I'll go take a look at the treasury of the Governor's Mansion."
Ye Fan drank the sugar water in one gulp and ran out of the study without giving Concubine Wei a chance to regret it.
"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but you want me to do it..." Concubine Wei opened her mouth slightly: "Does this mean I am a harem?"
The corners of her mouth curved uncontrollably.
Ye Fan's trust and ambiguity made Concubine Wei feel like she had been given a shot of chicken blood for a day.
She stayed in the study, handling the affairs of the Governor's Mansion very quickly, and passed every result to Ye Fan.
It seems that she wants Ye Fan to take control, but in fact she respects Ye Fan's authority as governor and lets him make the final decision.
Ye Fan saw more than a dozen matters handled by Concubine Wei, and he was full of praise for every one of them.
As expected of a woman who has stayed in the palace, her maturity and effectiveness in handling affairs are much better than mine.
He felt relieved and let Concubine Wei take care of things.
As dusk approached, Concubine Wei finished handling important and urgent matters, then stretched herself and went out.
As soon as Concubine Wei arrived at the door, she saw Qing Cang hurriedly appeared again, and kept shouting: "Palace Master, Palace Master!"
Concubine Wei said softly: "Qing Cang, the master of the palace has gone out for something. What's the big deal?"
"Tang Ruoxue is here again, saying that she must see the palace master."
Qingcang hurriedly responded: "She also said that it concerns Tie Muqing's 30 billion..." "Don't bother the palace master, I will handle this matter."
Concubine Wei's voice was cold: "Please invite Tang Ruoxue to sit in the side hall. I will change my clothes and go over."
Qingcang thought for a while and finally nodded: "Okay."
Ten minutes later, Tang Ruoxue led Jiang Yanzi and several others into the side hall of the Governor's Mansion.
After Ye Fan left Mingjiang, Tang Ruoxue was healing her wounds while letting people continue to collect information about Xia Kunlun.
Finally, she found out that Xia Kunlun resolved the crisis in the provincial capital and settled in the Governor's Mansion.
So she immediately flew over to block people.
Some things always need an explanation.
Tang Ruoxue had just sat down for a while, but before she took a good look around, she saw several people walking up from the backyard.
Concubine Wei, who had changed into a white dress, had her hair tied up. Not only was she aloof, but she also had an indifferent look on her face.
Tang Ruoxue even felt a hint of hostility.
Before Tang Ruoxue could speak, Concubine Wei walked up and said, "Mr. Tang, good evening."
"I am Concubine Wei, and I come to see you on behalf of the palace master."
She said calmly: "The palace master experienced several narrow escapes yesterday, and I really don't have the strength to see you..." Tang Ruoxue sat up straight: "Narrow escapes?
What's up with him?"
Seeing Tang Ruoxue's concern, Concubine Wei's eyes became a little colder: "There is no danger, he is fine, he is just tired and wants to have a good rest."
"Besides, it's a troubled time now. A killer sneaked in to kill the palace master last night, so it's not convenient to meet strangers."
She hid the needle: "After all, if the killer disguises himself as Mr. Tang and attacks, it will easily cause huge trouble to the palace master."
"Isn't it convenient to meet strangers?
Pretending to be me?"
Tang Ruoxue frowned slightly: "Concubine Wei, are you doubting my identity?"
Concubine Wei didn't even sit down. She looked like she was ready to see guests off: "No, if Mr. Tang's identity is really suspicious, you won't be able to enter the Governor's Mansion."
"I just want to say that it is really inconvenient for the palace master to see guests. If you have anything, you can tell me."
She added: "I will definitely convey your words to the palace master."
"I want to talk to the palace master about the freezing of Tiemuqing's 30 billion funds."
Tang Ruoxue's voice became colder: "This money is of great importance, I can only talk to the palace master."
Concubine Wei spoke indifferently: "There's nothing to talk about. It seems I should see off the guests."
"Concubine Wei, are you too rough like this?"
Tang Ruoxue sneered: "I can't even see Palace Master Xia?"
Concubine Wei said calmly: "You are not worthy..."
