Chapter 363: It's easy to conquer a kingdom, but hard to defend it
Bai Li reached out and scratched her underarms. Yuan Mo ran away while shouting, "Hey, hey! Spare me! I was just kidding, just kidding!"
While the two were playing and chasing each other, Namgoong Min came.
Yuan Mo was frightened when he saw him and quickly found an excuse to leave.
"Look at you, you scared away my little sisters!"
Bai Li glared at him coquettishly, acting like a little girl, without any of the powerful and solemn aura of a marshal.
Nangong Min walked a little hurriedly and was slightly out of breath.
It was October, a day when you need to wear a cotton-padded jacket, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
Bai Li took out a handkerchief and stood on tiptoe to wipe him.
A unique fragrance of a young girl wafted into his nose, and the warm breath blew on his Adam's apple, which rolled up and down involuntarily. A surge of hot blood rushed to his dantian, his nose felt hot, and Bai Li's handkerchief turned red!
"Oh my god! Why are you bleeding from your nose?"
Bai Li panicked and started to wipe it off in a hurry, but the more he wiped, the more it stained him.
Namgoong Min...
You'll die faster if you rub me like this!
He grabbed her mischievous little hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't move! Just let me be quiet for a while."
After saying that, he pushed her away, turned around and sat on the wood he had been sitting on for the past two days, with his back to Bai Li, secretly breathing in and out.
Come to think of it, from the time he met Bai Li to the time they got engaged, he and her had never been this close.
The main reason is that both of them are soldiers, and their time every day is either spent fighting or on the way to fight.
Being with so many soldiers, Bai Li wished she could become a man.
Bai Li looked at his back worriedly, wondering why he suddenly started bleeding from the nose?
Could it be that he suffered internal injuries and they are only now acting up?
Of course it is!
The damn regent must have been in collusion with the witch doctors, obtaining their unorthodox tricks and using them to harm people!
“That’s what I was saying. I personally fought the Regent, but you said you had a personal grudge against him and insisted on resolving it by yourself.
What a result, you hurt yourself!"
Bai Li muttered to himself as he walked over, took out a clean handkerchief, and wiped his face thoroughly.
There was blood all over it just now, and it looked quite scary at first glance.
Nangong Min's breathing, which had just calmed down, became disordered again, but he was soon distracted by other things.
"Hiss! Be gentle, it hurts!"
It's not that Nangong Min is being pretentious on purpose, it's that Bai Li became aroused by lust while wiping, and he touched that strong and handsome face all over, rubbing, pinching, and rubbing again, having a lot of fun.
Wow!
The skin was delicate and smooth, and felt particularly good. Bai Li couldn't stop himself and couldn't stop.
A handsome face took on various shapes in her hands, and Nangong Minsheng let her ravage him without any desire.
Fortunately, Yuan Mo left, otherwise if he was seen by the people from the martial arts school, how would he face people in the future?
"Bai Li, what are you doing? Is the prince injured?"
What you fear will come true. When Yuan Mo came back, he saw Bai Li rubbing his colorful face, and the first thing he thought of was that he was injured.
Namgoong Min...
If you have something to say, say it quickly. If not, get out of here!
Bai Li smiled awkwardly and stopped, "Yes, yes, he's bleeding from the nose, he's seriously hurt!"
"Yuan Mo, you've learned how to heal. Come and see if he has any internal injuries."
Yuan Mo bravely stepped forward, opened his eyelids, looked at his tongue, and felt his pulse. He shook his head and said, "He has no internal injuries, it's just that he suddenly..."
"Yuan Mo, you will be taking care of Wu Ji and the others until they are settled. Are you up to the task?"
Yuan Mo...
She was just telling the truth, why interrupt her?
However, it was obvious that the prince didn't want Bai Li to know the reason, so she didn't say it. It was not a big deal anyway. She just told him to drink more herbal tea!
"The prince has given orders, and no one dares to disobey!"
"By the way, what did you come back to say?"
Bai Li asked.
"Oops, look at me, I almost forgot!"
"I came back to remind you that the Prince of Jin's wealth is likely in the possession of his favorite concubine, Qiu Niang. Just search Qiu Niang's family, the home of Minister of Revenue Lu Chaoyi, and you'll definitely find something!"
"She's not even a concubine. A daughter of a minister, even if she's a concubine, is just a concubine?"
Nangong Min was puzzled.
"It seems that this Minister of Revenue is convinced that the Prince of Jin can take that position and is willing to marry his daughter to him.
Unfortunately, he bet on the wrong horse!"
"Isn't it?"
"Thank you, Yuan Mo!"
Bai Li still thanked her sincerely. She deserved her thanks both publicly and privately.
"besides……"
Yuan Mo changed from his previous crispness to becoming hesitant.
"Yuan Mo, what's wrong with you? Just tell me if you have anything else to say."
Bai Li is an impatient person and hates this kind of awkwardness the most.
Yuan Mo didn't say anything, but just glanced at Nangong Min secretly.
"No, what are you looking at me for?
Your resignation has been approved. You are now a free man. Whatever you say or do has nothing to do with the Martial Arts School. It only represents you."
"Really? Yuan Mo thanks the prince!"
"Can you tell me now? You're hesitating and not straightforward at all!"
Bai Li glared at her, and Yuan Mo could only smile apologetically.
"Then I'll just say it."
"Simon's dynasty has collapsed. Is the court in need of local officials?"
"Yeah, that's what we're having a headache about!
Before we set out, the Emperor told us to resolve the issue locally, but we know nothing about the people here and don’t dare to hire anyone casually.”
"This is simple. First, we will hold various examinations and select the most capable candidates. Then I know a few people who are knowledgeable and care about the people of the world. If they become officials, they will probably be good and honest officials.
As for the idea that the Ximen people would resist the rule of our Great Zhou people, no one would have such an idea except for the three factions of His Majesty the Regent King of Jin."
"The strict military discipline of our Great Zhou army and the emperor's good governance have long been renowned, attracting the admiration of people from many countries."
"Haha, I didn't expect our emperor to be famous!"
“Show me the list of those people, and if there are no problems, hire them based on their abilities.
In this way, half of the issues concerning the Simon court have been resolved. As for the rest, we will have to see if the original officials can be used."
The management and governance of a country is very important, from those in power to civil and military officials.
Only when those in power and officials truly care about the world, sympathize with the people, and work diligently for the country and the people can they govern a country well.
As the saying goes, it is difficult to conquer an empire, but it is even harder to keep it. Bai Li now fully understands the meaning of this sentence.
It's such a big country with so many affairs to deal with. If it weren't for Nangong Min and Yuan Mo's help, Bai Li would really have lost Simon and ran away.
She has never had the ability to manage these trivial matters in her two lifetimes. If it can be solved with fists, it is fine. However, the twists and turns in officialdom make Bai Li feel overwhelmed.
In the next few days, everyone was busy, but it was almost entirely them who were busy, and Bai Li was just assisting.
