"Don't worry, my beloved concubine. I will definitely compensate Fu Guang well. My little Mingyue, please let me in."
Only then was Ji Yuanheng able to enter Xiling Mingyue's bedroom.
"Then could His Majesty please assign some people who can protect Fu Guang?
I am truly afraid that something similar to what happened in Southern Xia will happen again in Northern Rong."
Xiling Mingyue stretched out her finger and tapped Ji Yuanheng's heart.
"Okay, my beloved, please let me take a sip of your fragrance."
Ji Yuanheng grabbed his beloved concubine's soft little hand and kissed her lustfully.
The summer wind is always dry, making the leaves rustle.
Ji Wan brought Jin Lie and Jiang Jian to the military camp stationed in Qingshizhou.
This was Ji Wan's first time visiting the military camp since he was about to get the Tiger Tally.
On the parade ground, many soldiers in armor were waving sharp spears.
It looks quite realistic.
But that's it.
Many people waved their spears with a careless look.
The entire training ground was filled with a listless and listless atmosphere.
They were wearing patched and tattered clothes that didn't even fit them, and only a pair of leaky straw sandals on their feet.
Ji Wan had seen the spirit and training methods of the Flower-Growing Family’s army before.
Comparing the scene he saw right now, Ji Wan felt dissatisfied in every way.
The others seemed accustomed to it, and Jiang Jian even thought that the soldiers' training was excellent.
Jin Lie didn't say anything when he saw this. After all, in his understanding, the army was like this.
"Jin Lie, I can give you the position of legion commander.
But I need you to train the 20,000 soldiers under your command into a fierce and powerful army that will strike fear into the hearts of the other four countries.
What I want is an army as sharp as a sword."
Ji Wan had asked the centurion in the army before.
Among the 20,000 soldiers, many are young people under the age of 18 with strong plasticity. If they are trained and groomed well, they will definitely achieve good results.
But at present, he only has one Jin Lie available.
Since Jin Lie was willing to risk his life to avenge his sister, it shows that he is a man of iron and blood.
He had an irreconcilable and mortal feud with Bai Bo, the general of the Northern Rong Kingdom.
Giving him the army is also giving him an opportunity to openly compete with Bai Bo.
Ji Wan didn't know how to best manage the army, but since she had already handed the entire army over to Jin Lie, she would trust him 100%.
It is natural to delegate power.
The garrison in Qingshizhou of Donglin State was previously under the control of Jiang Jian, who was fully responsible for it.
Jiang Jian is the former corps commander.
As for why not pick someone from the army to be the legion commander directly.
Because the current army is so bad, if we promote someone directly, the situation will be even worse than it is now, as the top beam is not straight and the bottom beams are crooked.
It would be better to have new people make drastic changes directly.
In this way, Ji Wan can also comprehensively see Jin Lie's ability in managing the army.
Jin Lie was extremely surprised, and even his big beard couldn't hide the shock on his face.
He didn't expect that Her Royal Highness the Princess would trust him so much.
If he performs well in such an important position, he will be in charge of these 20,000 soldiers.
For a peasant who was born as an executioner, it was truly a great achievement.
Does Your Highness trust him so much that he is not afraid that he will lead his army in rebellion?
"Your Highness, rest assured. I will definitely live up to your trust."
Jin Lie knelt in front of Ji Wan and touched the ground with his head.
You treat me as a national hero, and I will repay you as a national hero.
Ji Wan helped Jin Lie up and patted his shoulder: "I came here to see you off in person, just to support you.
From now on, don’t be restrained and do it boldly.”
"yes!"
Ji Wan nodded and turned to look at the soldiers who were still training.
Twenty thousand people are still too few if we want to conquer the Northern Rong Kingdom in the future.
We need to recruit people. The entire Qingshi State has only 20,000 armed forces.
Military force is the only way for an East Lin country to have a say among the four countries.
Moreover, I will definitely conquer the Northern Rong Kingdom in the future if I only have 20,000 people.
The opposite Beirong Kingdom singled out a larger province or county.
The armed forces among them can drown these 20,000 people with just a spit from each of them.
When Ji Wan left, he took away a ledger recording the entire army's expenses for five years.
Ji Wan currently has no technical staff who specializes in accounting.
So I had to do this myself, but the account books in ancient times were very complicated, as long and smelly as an old woman's foot binding.
It was a matter of financial power, and she had to look at it. She was so annoyed that she wanted to tear up the account books as soon as she saw them.
She had received the financial records of Tongcheng before, and it took her half a month to organize them all into a table.
Now there is a new financial account book, which will take several days to sort out.
It is easier to reconcile by organizing everything into a table.
Ji Wan will have to endure the hardship for several more days.
Almost all of the five hundred gold coins that the emperor had awarded to Ji Wan were used to renovate facilities in the city and build schools.
As for the official funds allocated to the construction of Qingshizhou, they had long been divided up by the local noble families.
Ji Wan got angry when he thought about this. The most famous family in Jincheng was the Cui family.
For ten consecutive years, this company has been taking two-thirds of the tax revenue from the three cities of Qingshi Province and the construction funds awarded by the emperor.
The current uncle of the emperor, Cui Renjie, and the queen, Cui Mi, were both born in the Cui family, the most aristocratic family in Donglin State.
It is said that the Cui family has produced more than 20 cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage in the [World].
The Nascent Soul cultivators in the [realm] also took good care of the Cui family, slipping some precious things from between their fingers from time to time, which was enough for the Cui family in Jizhou to become the local emperor of a province in the mortal world.
And this person from Qingshizhou also seems to be from the Cui family in the royal capital.
He is just a bastard from the second branch of the family.
Cui Min, Cui Rucheng, is the only son of a ruthless man who broke away from the Cui family in the royal capital.
It is said that the entire second branch moved to Jizhou at that time.
Nowadays people call the Cui family clan in Jizhou the Xiao Cui clan.
This man took a lot of money in the Bluestone State.
To be honest, Tongcheng was treated like a fat sheep by County Magistrate Zhang Baojiang, who robbed and stole from it.
Cui Min took the people's taxes, which was a disguised way of preventing Zhang Baojiang from doing evil.
But now Ji Wan has already dealt with the stumbling block Zhang Baojiang, and Cui Min is still taking it, which makes Ji Wan a little unbearable.
When I opened the account book today, I found that Cui Min actually took a lot of military pay.
Ji Wan really wanted to ask Jiang Jian how he became the governor of Qingshi Prefecture.
How could such a large termite exist in this bitterly cold place?
Jiang Jian is too self-protective, which sometimes leads to him failing in his duties and being ineffective.
It seems that he is useless and wants to be invisible everywhere, but he feels comfortable about it.
As a result, the small Qingshi State is full of hidden talents, and all kinds of local tyrants have emerged.
In the end, it is the innocent people who suffer.
Jiang Jian's wife and children do not live in Qingshizhou for a long time.
This means that he doesn't feel fear until the gun is put in his mouth, and he doesn't feel pain until the knife falls on his body.
If his own family stayed in this Qingshi State environment for a long time.
Ji Wan just didn't believe that Jiang Jian wouldn't take drastic measures to govern.
