"I dare not. This is what I should do!" Du Yongyi said and left.
As soon as Du Yongyi left, Yuan Jixian came in. Zhao Xiaofei stood up and said, "Master Yuan, thank you for your hard work!"
"Thank you, Mr. Kenan, for saving me!" Yuan Jixian was about to kneel down after saying this, and Zhao Xiaofei quickly helped him up.
"Lord Yuan, you don't have to be polite. We are all serving the court. We saved you because you are useful to the country, not out of personal favor! Lord Yuan went to the left military camp alone to persuade us. I admire you very much!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"What a pity! I feel guilty towards the court and made you take the trouble to rescue me!" Yuan Jixian said.
"Sir Yuan, what do you think of Zuo Liangyu's army? How likely is it to recruit him?" Zhao Xiaofei asked.

Those with blood debts must be punished, and you can send people to find the victims. Those without blood debts can be incorporated into military settlements and let them farm. Those who have skills can be let to work! As for layoffs, I don't have the money to pay them. Without severance pay, they may cause trouble to the village, and that will cause trouble!" Zhao Xiaofei said.
"Your Excellency has made every effort to consider this matter. I admire you!" said Yuan Jixian.
"No need to flatter me! With so many people, we still need people to look after them. I'll ask the court to give you money, and you can organize a new army in Jiangxi. The original soldiers will also be gathered together. Of course, the people must be carefully screened! I'll give you another few thousand soldiers to help you train the new army!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"Thank you, sir!"
