Yun Qing had a clear goal for this trip and didn't stop for long along the way. Around noon, she arrived at the place where the Li family army was stationed.

As the young master of the Li family, Li Yunqing had very little contact with the Li family army. Yunqing came here just to show his face, connect with his subordinates, and see if there was anything that could be improved in the army, as well as how the last incident was being handled.

Having received advance notice, Yun Qing was greeted by waiting staff as soon as she alighted from the carriage.

The man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes looked formidable, but he didn't seem to relax much when facing Yun Qing: "Young Master."

"Yes." Yun Qing nodded and introduced Xie Rang, who followed her down, "This is His Majesty the current emperor."

Yun Qing wasn't very familiar with her own territory, but she felt relatively at ease. She didn't intend to hide Xie Rang's identity and wanted him to see what the Li Family Army was like inside.

Upon hearing Yun Qing's introduction, Yin Rong glanced at Xie Rang with some surprise. He had heard of this young emperor who had been forced into the position, and he also knew that the young master had protected him a lot when he was in the capital, and had even almost lost his life. But he did not expect that the young master would bring him along.

However, it was only for a moment. Yin Rong quickly composed himself, clasped his hands in greeting to Xie Rang, and said, "Your subject Yin Rong greets Your Majesty."

The rules in the army are different from those in the imperial court. They always bow instead of kneeling, as this is a sign of respect for the soldiers.

"Stand up."

Xie Rang is usually disrespectful to Yun Qing and sometimes acts coquettishly, but he is very composed in public and has a cold face that makes him look imposing.

Yun Qing was stunned when he first saw it, and now that it was Yin Rong, he was just as stunned. He lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, and silently raised his expectations for the young emperor.

After all, they are the people that the young master is willing to devote all his efforts to assisting, so their Li family army should naturally follow suit.

Yun Qing intervened at the right moment: "Alright, Commander Yin, take me and His Majesty to see how the training is going."

The Lijia Army is a private army with its own set of positions, different from those in the imperial army. However, the hierarchy is still quite strict, with a unique system.

Yin Rong cupped her hands in greeting: "Yes."

Contrary to Xie Rang's expectations, the soldiers of the Li Family Army did not look down on her because the Grand Tutor had not inherited the family business and joined the army. On the contrary, they still valued her highly and showed no disrespect whatsoever, which was truly rare.

As if sensing Xie Rang's confusion, Yun Qing took the initiative to explain to him: "There are also many soldiers in the army who yearn to read. They also respect scholars, and there are also tutors in the army who teach them to read."

[Besides, the top scholar title was earned through merit; this is probably similar to the worship of academic superstars?]

Xie Rang didn't understand the words, but he grasped the general meaning and understood immediately.

"It's a good thing; soldiers should also be literate."

Yun Qing smiled: "Let's try promoting it later."

[The little tyrant's ideological awareness is quite high; he already has a sense of literacy at this age. Socialist education really lives up to its reputation; this will surely cultivate a truly patriotic young man.]

Xie Rang: ? What is that?

Seeing that the two were silent, Yin Rong began to introduce the situation in the army: "The soldiers have already started training with the new weapons. They are in the process of getting used to them, and their reactions are quite good."

How many martial artists don't care about weapons? The more comfortable they are to use, the better they are at defeating enemies.

Moreover, upon hearing that it was the young master who made the improvements, everyone's gaze towards Yun Qing became even more different.

"As long as it works well, that's fine. If there's anything you don't like, please let me know."

[To do a good job, one must first have the right tools. Well-made weapons will further enhance the army's core combat capabilities. I wonder what the situation is like on the border right now? Never mind, we'll see soon enough.]

Xie Rang agreed with what Yun Qing said in his heart.

The strength of the military is directly proportional to the strength of the nation. The result of emphasizing civil affairs over military affairs is being invaded by foreign powers. Fortunately, the strength of the civil and military forces of the Great Xi Dynasty is still relatively balanced so far. Otherwise, it would take a long time just to patch up the leaks, and the Rouran might invade at any time.

"Your Majesty, please take a look and see if you feel anything."

Yin Rong is a very honest person. Because he is completely loyal to Li Jia, he doesn't mince words even towards the little tyrant. Yun Qing didn't want the little tyrant to feel ignored, so she simply changed the subject and brought him up.

The soldiers were training at the moment. The Li family army focused more on actual combat, and they took turns doing things like rolling in mud and two-way fighting. The scene was rather... pitiful.

Xie Rang: “…”

"That's great, it can be promoted."

A question mark appeared above Yun Qing's head.

Is the little tyrant stealing my words?

That was the end of that.

Yun Qing glanced at the training situation and then listened to Yin Rong recount the aftermath of the incident from some time ago.

“Young Master’s method is very effective. No one has caused trouble for a while now. And those who caused the most trouble before were indeed paid off. The trail went cold at Zhang Family Bank.”

Yun Qing thought to herself, "Let's stop the investigation here for now. Keep all the evidence; it will be useful later."

[Liang Zhigong, oh Liang Zhigong, you've really walked right into the line of fire! I was just worried about not finding any evidence.]

Historically, the methods used by minor tyrants to eliminate dissidents after taking power were incredibly swift, especially when confiscating property. Fortunately, the two sides were too busy fighting to transfer money, which allowed Xie Rang to quickly replenish the national treasury and allocate the funds.
