Chapter 357: Lord of Nanyuan, Iron Blade Wang Family
"Your Majesty, we are now taking over the entire Nanyu County, and we are seriously short of manpower." Su Hong came to Ye Feng breathlessly.
Ever since the King of Nanyu, Zhao Pengju, was beheaded, they began to reorganize the entire Nanyu County and killed all the officials who had close relations with Zhao Pengju.
Now, relying on these people, it is already stretched to the limit to reorganize Nanyu City, let alone the entire Nanyu County.
"Send a message to Yu Shouren, and tell him to find someone to take over Nanyu County."
Ye Feng frowned slightly. Nanyu County was a large territory with many things to manage. Officials such as county magistrates and city lords were needed in every place.
"It seems that Lord Yu is the Minister of War. He has no control over the Ministry of Personnel."
Su Hong was stunned at first. Yu Shouren was the Minister of War, not the Minister of Personnel. The dispatch of general officials was the responsibility of the Minister of Personnel.
"Don't worry about it for now. Send someone to pass the message to Yu Shouren and order him to serve as the Minister of Personnel. He must find a way to transfer officials to take charge of Nanyu County within half a month."
Ye Feng had no other options now. He couldn't just stay in Nanyu County with everyone. Based on his understanding of Yu Shouren, it wouldn't be a big problem for him to be the Minister of Personnel. He would make arrangements after finding a suitable candidate.
"As you command, I will send someone to Jinling City to deliver the message."
Su Hong bowed and secretly laughed in his heart. Yu Shouren, the Minister of War, also served as the Minister of Personnel. He wondered if he would be so busy that he wouldn't even have time to eat.
You know, as Ye Feng takes back the power of the entire southern region, the future Minister of Personnel will have to coordinate more and more officials from various places.
After Ye Feng finished instructing Su Hong, he walked to a recliner not far away and sat down. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. He had never wanted to be an emperor because it was too tiring to take care of everything.
Just like when he was in the Wei Dynasty, he only needed to take charge of the Jinyiwei and remove all obstacles to Lin Xiaoxiang. As for how to govern and manage the entire dynasty, he left it to Lin Xiaoxiang to handle. He was happy to be free. When he came to the Song Dynasty, Zhao Qiuyan handed him the Emperor's Sword and ordered him to take charge of power, which was really too tiring.
"It seems that we need to think of a way to continuously tap into talents. Otherwise, if I really replace Zhao Qiuyan to take charge of the entire Song Dynasty in the future, I'm afraid I will be exhausted to death."
Ye Feng leaned back in the recliner and secretly made up his mind. After returning to Jinling City, he would reform the Song Dynasty and recruit talents from all over the country.
Some colleges are built in each place to train talents in each place, and finally the outstanding talents are selected and sent to Jinling College in Jinling City, which will definitely select talents.
There seemed to be not enough military generals, so the Song Dynasty simply built a military academy and a literary academy in each of the sixteen counties. The military academy was responsible for training military generals and warriors, while the literary academy was responsible for training civil officials and scholars.
Thinking of this, Ye Feng nodded with satisfaction. With the sixteen counties of the Song Dynasty under his control, the construction of the Academy of Arts and the Academy of Martial Arts became imminent.
Da da da……
Soon, footsteps were heard, and Luo Tong, led by the guards, quickly came to Ye Feng and bowed slightly, "I wonder what instructions the Lord of the State wants to ask me?"
Ye Feng sat up from the recliner, a smile on his face, and looked at Luo Tong. For some reason, Luo Tong felt Ye Feng's gaze and had a bad feeling.
"Old Luo!" Ye Feng stood up from the recliner, stretched out a hand and patted Luo Tong on the shoulder, saying earnestly: "You know the entire Nanyu County inside and out. I want to invite you to be the governor of Nanyu County. What do you think?"
"What?" Luo Tong heard Ye Feng's words and quickly dodged from Ye Feng's hands. He stepped back a few steps, his old face full of fear. "Thank you, Lord Zhenguo, for promoting me. Look at my old bones. I still want to live a few more years. When it comes to marching and fighting, I can give advice, but I can't be a county governor!"
What a joke, Luo Tong knew very well that the entire Nanyu County had nine cities and five counties, covering a vast area. Most of the officials in Nanyu County were implicated by Zhao Pengju, and many of them had their property confiscated and their families exterminated. Managing Nanyu County would definitely be exhausting.
"Aiya... Lao Luo... It's not like you don't have the ability. When you recommended yourself before, you told me that you helped Zhao Hui govern Yun'an City."
Ye Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes. He had long guessed that this old man would definitely not want to be the governor of Nanyu County. Being in charge of a county is a thankless task.
"Anyway, no matter what the Lord of the State says, I won't accept it!"
Luo Tong stood not far away, with his arms folded, looking like he was saying, "I'm just not going to do it. Let's see what you can do about it."
"A jar of wine!"
Ye Feng's hands floated slightly, and a jar of wine appeared. The aroma of wine filled the air, and Luo Tong, who was standing opposite him, opened his old eyes wide and couldn't help swallowing.
"Two altars!"
Luo Tong had tasted the sauce-flavored liquor that Ye Feng brought out before, and it tasted really good. No wine lover could refuse such a fine wine!
"make a deal!"
Ye Feng heard this, it's just two jars of wine, he has much more in his hands.
"I will only be the prefect of Nanyu County temporarily. Don't think of working my old bones to death." Luo Tong stepped forward and took the two jars of wine. He felt secretly annoyed. If he had known that Ye Feng agreed so readily, he should have asked for more.
"Don't worry, when the court sends the right person, even if you want to take the position, I won't let you." Ye Feng couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart. The head of a county is a high-ranking official after all, but right now, except Luo Tong, there is really no one else to take the position.
After getting Ye Feng's promise, Luo Tong carried two jars of wine and walked out of the yard. He knew very well that there were still many things to do in Nanyu County!
……
The southern part of the Great Xia Dynasty.
A somewhat lonely mansion stood in the icy cold wind.
The gate of the mansion was vermilion in color, but there was no plaque on it. Directly in front of it stood a golden sword that was three feet and three meters long. It was inserted three-tenths of the way into the ground and stood in the air. The golden blade light was filled with momentum.
On both sides of the gate stood two guards. They were wearing heavy armor and looked very imposing, but they had lost their left and right hands respectively.
Hua Hua Hua...
The cold wind blew, and not far away, I saw a young woman. She was wearing a light blue dress, and her brows were filled with delicate charm. She was extremely beautiful.
With a hearty smile on her face, she walked towards the mansion step by step. An old woman followed her, and not far away followed eighteen black-robed warriors. They kept a distance from the young woman, but just right. They were all on high alert, their eyes always staring at the surroundings, always on guard against attacks.
The young lady was none other than Princess Murong Wan'er of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the old woman was Granny Yu who had been following her. They came straight to the golden knife.
"Go and report to the master quickly, the young lady is back!"
The two guards with broken arms smiled when they saw the beautiful figure not far away. Then they turned around and ran into the mansion.
