But Prince Yong's Mansion was always quiet and there was no movement at all.
He has now moved to Sanyi Hutong, and all arrangements are in place.
This used to be the headquarters of the Youzhou Special Operations Bureau. The environment is not to mention. It looks like an alley from the outside, but after passing through the guards and walking a few dozen meters along the alley, everything will suddenly become clear. It can be said that this place is a secret.
The base has been transformed into a small park on the surface, with flowers, trees, pavilions and pavilions. The artificially transformed river has a quiet flow, and even the placed rockery can serve as a hidden sentry without blind spots when necessary.
Several elegant small buildings are dotted inside, and the overall environment is quiet and elegant. It can be said that it is a bit exaggerated to have such a place in the central area of Youzhou City.
Compared to Hidden Dragon Sea where giants gather, Li Tianlan's place is even more comfortable.
There are currently not many people in Sanyi Hutong, and only three small buildings have been opened.
Huangfu Qiushui lived with Li Tianlan as a matter of course.
Huangfuyi and Li Tianpeng each used one.
In addition, there are some staff and guards responsible for daily maintenance in the base. They live in the dormitory building on the edge of the alley.
As for the larger underground space under the hutong, it is still closed for the time being.
It has been nearly a week since Li Tianlan moved here.
But in such a long time, only one of the elite members of the Li family came to him to discuss whether to stay or leave.
Li Zhen.
Li Zhen, who once said he wanted to leave, changed his mind and planned to stay with Li's for a few years.
Everyone else in the Li family was quiet.
It was as if they had not heard or completely forgotten the promise Li Tianlan had given them. No one mentioned it at all.
And this was the result after both Huangfuyi and Li Tianpeng moved to Sanyi Hutong.
Of course this was what Li Tianlan did intentionally.
He just didn't want to see Huangfuyi and Li Tianpeng still trying to retain the old people of the Li family after he moved to Sanyi Hutong. Such attempts to retain the elders happened too many times, which would inevitably lead to pressure. If they really wanted to leave then, it wouldn't be easy.
I'm sorry to leave.
Li Tianlan's meaning is very clear. No matter how short of a job there is, veterans who feel tired at this stage can leave at any time.
When he killed Kuangtu Li, he had already made corresponding psychological preparations.
As for the series of problems caused by the lack of personnel, it is not impossible to solve them.
After all, the situation of the special operations system is different from that of the New Group.
If the new group is short of people, there really is nothing we can do. We can only let the top talents use their time to build up their qualifications. If they don't have enough qualifications, borrowing people from the Southeast Group is a helpless move.
But in Li Tianlan's own field, there is no need for any qualifications at all. This is a system where strength comes first, and Li Tianlan is fully confident that he can control everything.
The lack of manpower is indeed a trouble, it can even be said to be a big trouble, but when there is no other way and there are not enough manpower to fill those positions, Li Tianlan can temporarily remove all those positions.
As for the many hidden dangers caused by architectural flaws, as long as Li Tianlan is still there, they will not be fatal problems, they can only be regarded as troubles.
This is the biggest difference between him and Gu Xingyun.
When Gu Xingyun was here, the special operations system was extremely chaotic, with various levels stacked up. It seemed huge, but in fact it was extremely bloated.
It is undoubtedly very difficult for a God of War who is not at the peak of invincibility to maintain such a situation, so he needs to constantly compromise and draw in the power of all parties to make himself stronger.
Because of this, Gu Xingyun is often more like a businessman. His principles are extremely flexible for the sake of so-called interests.
Ultimately, it was because he couldn't control the situation.
Li Tianlan is different.
Because he can hold his own.
It's really manageable.
As long as he is here and can barely build a framework, many things can develop slowly.
As the core of the framework, it can make the development of this framework very complicated, and it can also make the development of this framework very simple in the early stage.
This was also the advice Huangfuyi gave him.
The lack of people mentioned by Huangfuyi is also based on building a basic framework.
Now that time has passed, the old people in the Li family have all chosen to stay, which has undoubtedly relieved a lot of pressure on Li Tianlan.
If these people are placed in the right positions, the basic framework can be established, and even some minor local adjustments can be made. Huangfuyi's work suddenly becomes much easier.
So when he found Li Tianlan with a thick piece of information, his whole complexion improved a lot.
Li Tianlan is reading documents in the office.
Still watching it very carefully.
This is a very strange thing for him.
But these days, this is what he does most often.
Leaving Tiannan means that he can no longer be the hands-off manager of many things like he did in the East Palace. His super power is completely different from the special warfare system. There are many things in the latter that require him to do.
You have to do it yourself, even if you want to be lazy.
Moreover, the handover between him and Gu Xingyun was not normal. To be precise, there was no handover at all.
Gu Xingyun's death was sudden, and Li Tianlan's rise to power was equally hasty.
The situation in the special warfare system is changing. Although some of the recent decisions made by Gu Xingyun are still effective in theory, people below are now panicked. Out of the most basic desire to survive, they have to resubmit many matters to ask Li Tianlan's opinion.
In this position, no matter how leisurely you are, it is impossible to do nothing.
For example, this year's budget within the system requires Li Tianlan to personally go to Caizheng to argue with the God of Wealth, and he also needs to get the signature of No. 1 and 2 Neige.
Another example is the performances of the Sky Academy and the Deep Sea Academy this year, the time, content, location, participants, Jun Bei, etc. All these can only be finalized by him going to Junbu to meet Dongcheng Wudi.
In addition, there are various bases outside of Central Continent, both openly and secretly. We must assign tasks to them and determine the focus of work.
The latest research results of several secret laboratories also require Li Tianlan's personal opinions.
In addition, there is the production and distribution of genetic potions, which will force Li Tianlan to go to the Ministry of Finance to fight with his biological father.
This thing is urgently needed, and both major systems have massive demand. However, the problem is that the output of various potions is extremely limited. The more high-end things, the smaller the output.
The two major groups have to fight with their lives every year. For this thing, even the biological father and son are responsible for their own system. Whoever wants to take a step back must first chill the entire system behind him. No matter how they work together in private,
There is no room for relenting in this regard.
Li Tianlan just hopes that he won't have a big fight with Dongcheng Wudi by then.
It's not like this has never happened before, it even happens every year.
Then, the four spirits of Zhongzhou will be replaced this year except Xuanwu. In terms of candidates, Li Tianlan now has to consider...
One thing goes on after another, with no end in sight.
Li Tianlan is not afraid of trouble now. He is even afraid that he will have nothing to do. But even so, he has been studying all kinds of information in the past few days. The dense handwriting still made him feel a little distracted, so that Huangfuyi typed several times.
Next door, Li Tianlan didn't react until he felt something was wrong and opened the door and walked in.
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty?"
Huangfuyi slowed down his voice and called him several times. Only then did Li Tianlan react suddenly. He let out a sigh, put down the information in his hand, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Is something wrong?"
Huangfuyi smiled and looked at the information on his desk: "Are you a little uncomfortable with it?"
Li Tianlan sighed, his expression a bit speechless.
Reading the information these past few days even made him regret it sometimes.
I regret killing Gu Xingyun.
If I had known this, I should have kept him as a consultant, and let Gu Xingyun be the so-called God of War. He would not be able to fight against me, and I could even use him as a dog. So many things.
Comfortable? It’s really...why bother with all this trouble now?
"I'll put more burden on you."
Huangfuyi said with a smile and placed the folder in his hand in front of Li Tianlan.
The corner of Li Tianlan's mouth twitched, and his headache worsened.
Well, the folder is so full of textual data that it’s almost impossible to fit it in.
What is this for?
"Let's talk about it first."
Li Tianlan patted the file and did not open it in a hurry.
"This is a rough framework based on Li's current lineup after discussions between Tianpeng and I. Of course, I also consulted some other people's opinions.
We have information about each person in the Li family, as well as their areas of expertise, and even each person's personality traits. All the information is analyzed together and is here.
Well, here is also the changing direction of the special operations system, and the most suitable positions for each of the Li family members...
Of course, these are just suggestions, and if His Majesty feels they are inappropriate, he can revise, fine-tune or even overturn them at any time."
push...overthrow...
Can't push it.
This thing really cannot be pushed back. If he overturned it, not to mention the issue of trust between them, even Li Tianlan himself would not be able to make a new copy of this kind of information.
"You tell me a little bit about it first, I'll take a look later."
Li Tianlan picked up the cigarette case on the table and opened it. It was empty.
He was stunned for a moment, then opened the drawer and took out the entire cigarette, but there was only a package left, and it was also empty inside.
Li Tianlan sat there and was silent for a while.
He remembered that Huangfu Qiu Shui had brought this cigarette to him from the logistics department two days ago. But it was such a big cigarette that it was gone right away?
"I'm almost a smoker."
He said something self-deprecatingly.
"Normally, I smoke a lot when I'm in the office."
Huangfuyi handed his cigarette to Li Tianlan and said slowly: "That's it. Tianpeng and I have compiled and summarized the information on the veterans of the Li family in detail in the past few days.
To be precise, what we lack most right now are two types of people. The first type is masters, those at the peak of the Thunder Realm and above.
The second type is experienced intelligence personnel.
The Li family currently has such people, but they are far from enough."
Li Tianlan nodded, he probably knew Li's current lineup.
There are some in the Thunder Realm. After all, the Li family was once brilliant enough and had been dormant for many years. There is no shortage of masters.
But at the peak of the Thunder Realm and the half-step invincible realm, there is no
A few.
Even if he has repeatedly raised the upper limit of martial arts, the peak masters of the Thunder Realm can be regarded as truly high-end combat power. Not to mention the down-and-out Li family, even at the peak of the Li family, there were not many peak masters of the Thunder Realm.
The same is true for the Beihai Wang Family and other superpowers.
To be precise, those who can reach the peak of the Thunder Realm are already considered geniuses among geniuses.
As for experienced intelligence talents, there are not many such people. Some of the Li family are in the East Palace now, but most of them, such as Tianyin and Li Tianlan, want them to come over, but Masina’s grandson doesn’t want them to come over.
Patch, Li Tianlan has no choice but to slowly find someone to train him.
"These are the two types of people we currently lack the most. In fact, the so-called special warfare system is not limited to the interior of Central Continent. Your Majesty should know this.
This realm, to use the most accurate description, is everything that Middle-earth has in the dark world.
If we only build the internal framework of Central Continent, this group of people is actually enough. But in real circumstances, all our current experts and intelligence talents have to take root outside of Central Continent.
In Middle-earth, there are very few people we can use.
So my suggestion is to simplify the current framework within Middle-earth."
"You made this suggestion before, and I agreed."
Li Tianlan glanced at him.
"Um..."
Huangfuyi coughed dryly: "This simplified framework may be a little shabby."
This is a bit shabby, which means that Li Tianlan will have more things to do in the future.
Li Tianlan's mouth twitched slightly and he asked tentatively: "How shabby is it?"
"For example, in Youzhou, His Majesty will definitely be stationed in Youzhou permanently in the future, so the special operations bureau in Youzhou can be temporarily put aside. There is no need to establish it.
Another example is Tiannan, where there is Donghuang Palace. There is no need to set up this department. We can even borrow people from Donghuang Palace. Well, it is borrowing, not transferring.
In this way, places such as Nanyun, Qianzhou, Xiyue, and Qinzhou can be taken care of by the people from the East Palace. With the assistance of Shushan, there will be no big problem...
As for the north, although Sigh City has joined the Eastern Palace, it still has some influence. With the addition of the Shadow Gate, the northeastern area can be left to them.
In the northwest, Yaochi has always been closely related to wealthy groups, including Northern Xinjiang, so Yaochi can be responsible.
As for the southeast, we can take more responsibility. Although most of the Li family will be sent out, a small number of people can still be left behind.
As for other places, His Majesty is more capable and has sufficient deterrence. Therefore, various places do not necessarily need the peak masters of the Thunder Realm. The Thunder Realm can barely maintain the situation.
Your Majesty will have regular meetings to hammer it out, and if you insist on it for a few years, there will be no problem."
East Palace, City of Sighs, Shadow Gate, Yaochi, Shushan...
Li Tianlan listened with a dull expression.
Good guy, is this your own special combat system?
Those who don’t know better think that this field has been divided up by other forces.
Moreover, in such an important place as Youzhou, no other departments were even established because of his presence.
How shabby does this have to be?
He took a deep breath, looked at Huangfu Yi, and asked tentatively: "Do you feel that our sense of existence is a bit low in this way?"
"His Majesty's presence is not low at all."
Huangfuyi coughed dryly, and finally said helplessly: "We are short of people."
He glanced at the thick folder in front of Li Tianlan: "Your Majesty, let's take a look at these first. After reading, we will go to the palace and talk to the old people of the Li family. If there is no problem, we can take these people
Make sure first.
I'm afraid that some people are still hesitant. After meeting you, they have made up their minds. After a few people leave, we will still find ways to continue borrowing people.
Well, it's best to leave as it is now, without any of them leaving. In this way, after confirming the positions of these people, we can hold a system-wide meeting and call some people who are still in office to observe and observe. In this way, we
You can also win over a group of people, ah, no, at least win over a few useful people...
At least the situation can be stabilized."
Li Tianlan's face turned a little dark: "I'm very dissatisfied with how shabby it is. Uncle Huangfu is known as a famous general and top staffer in the world, but this is the result?"
"I'm a staff member, but I can't change myself into someone else."
Huangfuyi was a little speechless: "You are a typical example of expressing anger."
Li Tianlan didn't say anything. He thought about everything Huangfuyi said. The more he thought about it, the more awkward and even a little embarrassed he became.
"In a few years, the situation will be much better. Within a few years, there may not be a large number of peak Thunder Realm masters, but there will be no shortage of Thunder Realm masters. Maybe those who are on their own will not belong to the Li family, but some backbones,
It will definitely become your fanatical fan.”
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't matter."
Huangfuyi took out a cigarette and lit it, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you leave Tiannan and the Li family. Strictly speaking, there are not many real people around you, and there are none who can be sent out.
If Gu Xingyun reached that position by relying on luck and Gu's years of accumulation, you basically reached that position by relying on your own strength. It is normal to not have a team.
In fact, as long as you sit in this position, no matter the Eastern Palace, Shu Mountain, Yaochi, Yingmen, or other forces, they will all be under your jurisdiction. These can also be regarded as your team, at least in the eyes of outsiders.
."
Li Tianlan glanced at him and said nothing.
Huangfuyi coughed slightly, and seemed to know that his words were meaningless, so he changed the subject and said, "Where is Qiu Shui? Why haven't you seen him?"
On the first day after moving here, Huangfu Qiushui moved to this small building to live with Li Tianlan. He took the initiative and carefully placed some of his clothes and small items in Li Tianlan's bedroom.
Huangfuyi's mood was a little complicated, so he could only pretend not to see it, but now there was no swordsman here to deal with her. Could it be that he was shy?
That damn girl still knows how to be shy?
Li Tianlan also coughed dryly, his eyes flickering: "Maybe he hasn't gotten up yet."
In recent days, Huangfu Qiushui has slept relatively late.
Because Li Tianlan didn't sleep at all.
After Qin Weibai left, he began to be unable to sleep again. He had no sleepiness at all. As time went by, his headache began to increase gradually again, but it was still at an acceptable level.
Although he was seriously injured now, his energy seemed to be inexhaustible. However, Huangfu Qiushui took the initiative to tease him every day.
She truly demonstrated to Li Tianlan how charming a woman can be after she has completely surrendered.
When they were in Tiannan, she and Qin Weibai were together.
But now facing Li Tianlan alone, she was even more relaxed.
Although she would be very nervous and even feel ashamed every time when Li Tianlan was looking down on him, but when things happened, she would often become even more serious.
Today when Huangfu Qiushui fell asleep, it was almost dawn.
Now facing Huangfu Yi and mentioning Huangfu Qiushui, Li Tianlan inevitably felt a little unnatural.
Huangfuyi looked at him deeply, his eyes deep.
"Should you have a child?"
he asked suddenly.
"let it go."
Li Tianlan said.
Huangfu Yi showed a smile. He was very satisfied with this attitude. At least it showed that Li Tianlan did not resist, which also meant that in his heart, Huangfu Qiushui was not a little pet that could distract him.
"If you have a child, will it be the eldest son or daughter of your lineage?"
He laughed a little strangely.
"In modern society, do we still pay attention to these things?"
Li Tianlan smiled.
"You don't have to be particular about these things, but if that time comes and you call me Uncle Huangfu, I won't have any psychological burden."
Huangfuyi laughed, as if he had let go of something.
Li Tianlan wanted to say something else, but the phone on his desk suddenly rang.
Li Tianlan was stunned. This kind of call could be made directly to his office. As long as he heard it, he had to answer it.
He grabbed the microphone and called out.
"Tianlan, are you busy?"
On the other end of the phone, Li Huacheng's smiling voice rang.
"Fortunately, I'm looking at some information."
Li Tianlan subconsciously looked at the information piled up on his desk.
His brows twitched uncontrollably and he asked, "Is there something wrong, teacher?"
"I heard that you started to be a homebody after you moved to Sanyi Hutong. The environment there is good, but you should also go out for a walk."
Li Huacheng smiled and said, "I just got some new tea, let's try it."
Li Huacheng said it very politely.
No matter how low his IQ is, Li Tianlan knows that such a call cannot be refused.
What this means is nothing more than a call from the leader to report on work.
It's just that Li Huacheng changed his explanation to be more acceptable to Li Tianlan.
"Okay, now?"
Li Tianlan asked.
"Come on now."
Li Huacheng said with a smile: "When you arrive, the tea will be heated just right.
Also, if there’s nothing else, let’s have dinner together at noon.”
Li Tianlan hummed and put down the phone.
He looked at Huangfu Yi and said, "The Speaker has summoned me to have tea with me."
Huangfuyi lowered his head and thought for a while, then smiled and said: "It's not a bad thing, but it's hard to say what it is exactly.
Your Majesty can find an opportunity to reveal our current predicament to the Speaker, and maybe he will have some good solutions?"
Li Tianlan didn't think much and nodded casually: "I'll take Qiu Shui with me. You and Uncle Tianpeng will make arrangements to call Li's uncle in the evening to have a dinner together and talk."
