"So, is the Yuan army finally gone?"

Xiao Feng looked at the Chinese book and raised his head to look at Duan Ling.

Duan Ling replied: "Lord Qi, it is true. After we broke through Quanzhou, we found that Pu Shougeng and others had been killed by the Yuan army. And the ships in the city were also looted by the Yuan army, although we wanted to pursue, but the other party left for a long time, and there was no trace of the other party at all. I had to give up. ”

"It doesn't matter. Now that the other party has been driven away, it is okay. ”

Xiao Feng sighed lightly, she also wanted to kill the other party, but the previous battle also consumed a lot of her energy, and she couldn't do without her body in a stable place, so she had to hand it over to someone else to be responsible, which led to such an ending.

Although he was annoyed, it was now a foregone conclusion, and Xiao Feng could only give up and turn his attention inward.

Although they have obtained the former territory of the Song Dynasty, this territory is too large, and if they want to annex it, it will take a lot of energy, especially those traditional scholars, which is even more troublesome. However, Xiao Feng has also cultivated a lot of talents in Chang'an, and it is not impossible to take them into his own possession.

It's just that this matter still has to take a lot of effort after all, and I can't rush it in a short time.

Wechen was ashamed. Let the lord down. ”

Duan Ling bowed down, after all, the Yuan army still escaped from his hands after all.

Xiao Feng chuckled, and then comforted: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, where is the undefeated general? It is me, I have made many mistakes in the past, but I need to be careful in the future." ”

Duan Ling felt a little relieved, and immediately got up and retreated, after all, Xiao Feng had other things to do, but he couldn't concentrate all his energy on this.

Xiao Feng put his mind at ease, but he looked at Wang Mu next to him, holding a letter of resignation in his hand, with a bit of nostalgia in his eyes, and asked, "Are you going to resign?" It has been five years since Wang Mu was recruited to his command.

In the past five years, Xiao Feng has been assisted by Wang Mu, but it is much easier, and he does not need to be busy all the time as usual, and can concentrate on military affairs.

However, now, Wang Mu has submitted his resignation to her, which makes Xiao Feng a little surprised.

Wang Mu closed his head and replied: "Lord Qiqi, that's exactly the case. ”

"Can you tell me why?" Xiao Feng asked.

As the secretary of the prime minister, although his position is only equivalent to the level of the sixth grade, because he is close to the prime minister, his influence is not weaker than that of some third-grade or even second-grade officials.

Wang Mu's expression became solemn, but he said, "Lord, don't hide it. These days, I have followed behind you, and I have indeed learned a lot, but unfortunately I have not been able to make any difference. The war had not yet ended, so there was no mention of it. But now that the Yuan Dynasty has fallen, Lin'an has also come under the command of my dynasty. So I wanted to quit my job and go to the local area to experience it. Maybe in the future, I can leave a name in history like the lord. ”

"I see?"

Xiao Feng couldn't help but feel lost, according to what Wang Mu said, she obviously felt that the status of the prime minister's secretary limited her development, so she wanted to experience it so that she could give full play to her talents.

Wang Mu was a little nervous, and asked in a low voice, "I wonder if the lord is feasible?"

"Absolutely. ”

Xiao Feng nodded, she is not the person who is arbitrary, since Wang Mu has the intention to leave, she will naturally not try her best to keep it, after all, with Wang Mu's current talent, if she only serves as the prime minister's secretary, she will still be restricted.

"It's just that in what direction are you going to go?, administrative officer, or parliamentarian?" Looking at Wang Mu with burning eyes, Xiao Feng opened his mouth and asked.

Within the Chinese Dynasty, officials were divided into administrative officials, administrative officials, and parliamentarians.

Needless to say, the officials of the prefect and the prefecture in the past, no matter how big or small, need to be appointed by the central government, and their power is also the greatest, enough to decide everything under their rule. In order to prevent these officials from taking advantage of the power in their hands to cause trouble to the township, they are also included in the government, and they need to pass a rigorous examination before they can serve as an administrative officer. As for the parliamentarians, it is needless to say, just like Zhang Shangying and Zhao Wenying, they have considerable fame, but they have no real power.

The promotion system of these three systems is different, the apex of the administrative officer is the prime minister, the apex of the administrative officer is the prime minister, and the apex of the parliamentarian is the chairman, and the three are entangled with each other to form the whole system.

Wang Mu pondered for a moment, and then said, "Naturally, he is a political officer. ”

"Magistrate?"

Xiao Feng was only surprised, and then admonished: "Do you know that this administrative official is not the most difficult than others. If you are not careful, you may be hit. After all, you are a woman, and you are easily beaten. ”

Wang Mu said with a smile: "If you are also afraid of this difficulty, then how can you talk about success? When the lord started the incident, didn't he also overcome many difficulties and come to this point?"

"That's just as well. ”

Xiao Feng nodded, and said, "It's just where are you going to go?" You might as well tell me, and I can help you." Isn't it?"

"Well, if you can, why don't you settle in Huating County?"

Wang Mu pondered for a moment and then said his goal, and seeing that Xiao Feng's face was full of doubts, he immediately explained: "Lord Qi. This place is close to the sea and is located on the Yangtze River, which is the best place to develop business. If a city is built here, one can use the Yangtze River water transport to transport inland materials to this place, and the other can also use this place to develop shipping, and it can also use this to communicate with Dongying and Nanyang countries, and transport the goods produced by our dynasty to other countries. Wouldn't that be the best place to be?"

"That's true. ”

Xiao Feng said with a smile, and historically, this place has indeed developed with the help of the rise of shipping, and has been given the reputation of the magic capital.

Now that Wang Mu has chosen this place, it is the best place, why should she help him?

"It's just that you have to be careful, if you want this place to develop, it will inevitably affect Lin'an. When the time comes, I'm afraid that many people will attack you with this. Do you understand?" Just thinking of what happened next, Xiao Feng felt worried, and admonished again.

Now the Huaxia Dynasty has occupied the Song Dynasty, and its capital is Chang'an, which was naturally directly abandoned as the previous Song Dynasty's line in Lin'an, just as an ordinary place of governance, it can be said that it has been doomed to the end of its decline, and it is impossible to be as prosperous as before.

But the scholars in Lin'an are still there, and they will not be willing to decline like this, and they will definitely choose to counterattack.

Xiao Feng was really worried about whether Wang Mu's means would be able to suppress all this.

After all, after dealing with the affairs here, she will also return to Chang'an, even if she wants to meddle in the affairs here, it will be over because of the distance.

Wang Mu was full of confidence, and opened his mouth to reply: "My lord, please rest assured, I naturally understand this point, and I will never let this happen." ”

"Okay. Then you have to pay attention, if you encounter something, you must tell me, do you know?" Xiao Feng told again, for fear that Wang Mu would encounter some trouble because of this, but she regarded Wang Mu as her daughter after getting along for so many days.

After the two said goodbye, Wang Mu naturally went to Huating County to take office.

And Xiao Feng also began to take over the problems left over from the Song Dynasty, she first asked people to determine the officials needed in various places, and then selected suitable candidates from among the defected scholars, and sent them to the corresponding places to serve as officials.

It also stationed soldiers in places such as Zhenjiang Mansion and Quanzhou to ensure that this place would obey the rule of the Huaxia Army, so that when Xiao Feng left, these places would turn to the enemy.

By the time all the officials had taken office, it was already March 1500 in the Chinese calendar.

After completing these things, Xiao Feng also returned to Chang'an with his army, after all, Chang'an is her foundation, and the Yuan Dynasty has not been completely destroyed, so she has to continue to work hard.

And in Chang'an, Zhao Yu looked anxious and asked in a low voice: "Mother will be back soon, what do you think I should do?"

"Your Majesty. Don't forget, you're the emperor, why are you so nervous?" Ye Li persuaded.

Zhao Yu shook his head and replied: "Emperor, it's not that you don't know my situation, you're just a puppet, what power do you have? And it's not that you don't know your mother's temper. If she returns, she will reprimand me. What do you think you should do?"

By virtue of his identity as the emperor, he also attracted a lot of officials during this time, although they were basically opportunists like Ye Li, and did not include first-class officials such as Yang Chenglong and Duan Ling, but they were also not a small force, and they were still quite tempting for ordinary people.

"Your Majesty. Anyway, you are also the emperor, can't you argue with reason? Just say that you are trying to manage political affairs, isn't it okay?" Ye Li pursed his lips and continued to persuade.

is as cowardly as Zhao Yu, he is also seeing it for the first time, but he is just about to come back, is it necessary to be so afraid?

"It can't be!"

Zhao Yu replied: "Just rely on my mother's temper and don't drive you away, then it can be regarded as polite, how can you give me power?"

After all these years, he already understood what Xiao Feng meant, and he would never give himself any chance to grasp power, even if it was just an ordinary magistrate, it was impossible.

Ye Li's expression darkened, as far as Zhao Yu said, it was indeed something that Xiao Feng would do: "Since this is the case, then you might as well persuade it." said that he was not talented enough, and wanted to give up the throne to Xiao Feng. How?"

"Zen Jean?"

Zhao Yu's eyes lit up, and he asked in a low voice, "Do you think this is possible?"

For him, the throne was a real constraint, and if it were to be handed over to someone else, it would not be inappropriate, but it would make him feel extremely relaxed.

Ye Li encouraged: "Maybe it's okay." ”

"Good. That's decided. When my mother came back, I told her about it. Zhao Yu immediately said that he was impatient to get rid of this shackle.

It's just that Ye Li has deep eyes, and secretly thinks in his heart: "It's just that judging from Xiao Feng's deep thoughts, if you want to complete this matter, I'm afraid it will be difficult." ”
