Liu Dehai returned to the palace, and Qian Ruoyu only then came to Luo Shanhai's yamen.

The reason why I came to Luo Shanhai's yamen was simply to find out the progress of the training of those militiamen.

As soon as Qian Ruoyu arrived at the gate of the yamen, no one dared to stop her way. Instead, they all greeted Qian Ruoyu.

"Meet the princess!"

Qian Ruoyu nodded slightly, then walked into the yamen and found Luo Shanhai.

At this time, there were several men in armor talking to Luo Shanhai in front of him, so Qian Ruoyu stood aside and did not go forward to disturb them.

After they finished talking, they left and Qian Ruoyu came to Luo Shanhai.

As soon as he saw Qian Ruoyu, Luo Shanhai was about to salute, but Qian Ruoyu calmly asked him to stay where he was.

"We've known each other for such a long time, there's no need to be so formal!"

"Actually, I came here to ask you about the training of the militiamen recruited from various county offices."

Luo Shanhai never expected that Qian Ruoyu would be interested in this kind of thing, so he nodded immediately and then said to Qian Ruoyu.

"Your Majesty, those few people just came from the county government. I didn't expect that His Majesty would set up a temporary bandit suppression army for this purpose. This time the army has recruited a total of 1,200 people and has also appointed a temporary general, General Liu."

When Qian Ruoyu heard the three words "General Liu", a look of doubt appeared on his face. After seeing this, Luo Shanhai quickly explained.

"It is the current Minister of War Liu Dingguo. I believe you should know him."

After hearing this, Qian Ruoyu naturally nodded slightly.

After all, Qian Ruoyu did know Liu Dingguo and had a deep impression of him, but Qian Ruoyu never expected that the emperor would ask Liu Dingguo to be the temporary general.

After all, Qian Ruoyu did know Liu Dingguo and had a deep impression of him, but Qian Ruoyu never thought that the emperor would ask Liu Dingguo to be a temporary general.

"If General Liu is appointed as the temporary general, then won't he be the one to train those people?"

After hearing this, Luo Shanhai smiled.

"Hahahaha, although Liu Dingguo is the Minister of War, he is just a student of the Imperial Academy. If it weren't for his father's generation, I'm afraid he would be just a small official now!"

"This kind of person has no talent at all, let alone being able to fight in battle. So I'm afraid Your Majesty has appointed the wrong person this time. I was just about to go and persuade him!"

After hearing this, Qian Ruoyu was a little surprised. She never expected that the emperor would choose someone like Liu Dingguo.

Jiansheng, it seems, is a student of the Imperial Academy. After all, Qian Ruocheng also paid for this title, but one can imagine how low its value is.

Anyone who is the descendant of a meritorious official or has donated a small amount of money can get this title, which shows that this title really has no connection with any talent.

And if the emperor really chose Liu Dingguo, and he failed, he would probably lose his official position.

Although she had indeed interacted with Liu Dingguo, Qian Ruoyu did not feel any need to help Liu Dingguo. It would be better to just let Liu Dingguo go.

"No need to persuade him, Lord Luo."

"I would like to know what will happen to these more than a thousand people next time."

Luo Shanhai said quickly.

"Reporting to Her Majesty, these have now been fully assembled. They are all gathered five miles north of the capital, and are currently undergoing training there."

"It is said that these people only have ten days to organize. They must reach Jiulong Mountain and defeat the bandits within ten days. It seems that each person can get five taels of silver within these ten days. Once they succeed in defeating the bandits, they can also get a reward of fifty taels of silver each."

After hearing this, Qian Ruoyu immediately did some calculations in his mind. Assuming that these people really wiped out all the bandits, it would mean that the court spent 66,000 taels of silver to resolve this matter.

But Qian Ruoyu shook her head, because she had no confidence whether these more than a thousand people could wipe out the bandits.

"Lord Luo, what do you think?"

Luo Shanhai also shook his head at this time.

"I don't think it's possible."

"Although there are more than a thousand of them, their training time is too short. Moreover, they are just ordinary people selected from various villages and towns. There is no way they can form combat effectiveness in a short period of time. Moreover, they have only borrowed more than 500 weapons from me."

After hearing these words, Qian Ruoyu was even more surprised. After all, before this, Qian Ruoyu heard Andy Lau say that he wanted to take weapons from the armory in the capital, so how did he bring them to Luo Shanhai?

Therefore, Qian Ruoyu asked immediately, and Luo Shanhai was even more surprised after hearing this.

"No way, I thought they were going to get weapons from me, so I readily took out 500 swords and guns for them. I can only provide these as much as I can, otherwise my soldiers won't be able to be fully equipped. But I didn't expect that they were going to take weapons from the capital's arsenal?"

After hearing this, Qian Ruoyu thought about it again and quickly said to him.

"By the way, who is in charge of the capital's arsenal now?"

"Naturally, the Minister of War is in charge."

After hearing these words, Qian Ruoyu was stunned immediately, because the Minister of War Liu Sandao was the father of the Vice Minister of War Liu Dingguo.

In that case, Qian Ruoyu thought, could there be something fishy going on in the armory?

The thought of this made Qian Ruoyu feel even more thrilling. She never thought that the emperor's court looked so complete, but it was actually weak inside.

Qian Ruoyu felt that it was necessary to search the Ministry of War and submit a letter to see if there were enough equipment in the arsenal in the capital. Otherwise, it would be a big trouble!

Qian Ruoyu did not tell this to Luo Shanhai in front of him at this time. After all, Luo Shanhai could not help, so she also said to him.

"I see... It seems that the matter of suppressing bandits cannot be underestimated. I just hope that you, Lord Luo, will try not to interfere with them. If something goes wrong, you might be blamed, right?"

Hearing Qian Ruoyu's words suddenly, Luo Shanhai nodded quickly.

Because what Qian Ruoyu said was right, Luo Shanhai was just a new noble, while those people in the Ministry of War were all from the old masters. After thinking about this, he nodded to Qian Ruoyu hurriedly.

"Please rest assured, Madam!"
