After having a couple more drinks, Master Pei also gave the siblings some pointers.
Among them, it says: "If one wants to plan for the long term, the real shortcut is to use one's talents under the emperor's nose."
"If the emperor hadn't been so far away and the formation had been reported directly to him, there wouldn't have been these disturbances, and we wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble."
Qiao Lian'er was silent for a moment, and Da Cheng seemed to understand something as well.
After the meal, the brother and sister each returned to their respective courtyards.
Each courtyard was assigned a clever servant so that they could be informed of any needs promptly, without sending too many to avoid disturbing the peace and quiet.
The Pei family demonstrated their appreciation and propriety in every aspect, displaying the demeanor and prestige of a prominent and wealthy family.
Qiao Lian'er leaned back on the comfortable bed, thinking about recruiting soldiers in her fiefdom.
If a recruitment order is issued, all those recruited will be new soldiers, making training very difficult.
The emperor asked her to bring out a powerful formation team, which sounded easy, but was no easy task in practice.
Moreover, each of them is a new recruit, and there is a process of building trust. In this process, it is inevitable that some will be eliminated, which will waste effort.
She had a sudden inspiration and came up with a bold idea.
If the Guan Ning Iron Cavalry were stationed there, wouldn't it save a lot of trouble if the soldiers under the command of my uncles and brothers were stationed in the Qingfeng Plain fiefdom?
When her father and brothers trained, they followed the formations she provided, and they adapted to them quickly.
Moreover, given such an opportunity, why wouldn't she give it to her whole family?
However, these soldiers ultimately obey General Guan, and it remains to be seen whether General Guan will be willing to relinquish these several thousand men.
If General Guan agrees, there are still some practical issues to consider.
With my uncles and brothers moving in, they would need to stay in the capital for extended periods throughout the year, so not everyone had to come here.
Two or three men need to stay at home. The two elders of the Qiao family are old and can't withstand the commotion. They are also attached to their homeland. It's like having a home in Datian Village and another in the capital.
Yes, you can do that.
This is a major event that requires coordination among multiple parties to ensure satisfaction for all and maximize benefits.
Qiao Lian'er couldn't sleep, so she got out of bed and paced around the yard, her heart surging with excitement.
"Lian'er, is something on your mind?"
Qiao Zhizhi slept all afternoon and then happily played with the toys that the Pei family had sent her. Among them was a nine-linked ring, which she pondered for a long time but couldn't solve. Seeing Qiao Lian'er walking around, she also went out.
Qiao Lian'er saw that she was holding a nine-linked ring, so she took it and easily solved it in no time.
"Wow, Lian'er is amazing!" Qiao Zhizhi exclaimed. "Teach me quickly, slow down, let me see how you solved it."
Qiao Lian'er said, "We'll talk about that later. Sister Zhizhi, I want to ask you a question."
"Ask away, Lian'er."
Do you like Beijing?
"I love it! There are so many delicious foods and fun things to do. The streets are so beautiful, and the people speak so pleasantly."
Qiao Lian'er smiled and asked, "Do you want to stay here?"
