Chapter 249 State affairs and family affairs (1)

Cons, who was flipping through the book, seemed to hear the sigh in Xiangwen's heart, smiled and asked, "What? Are you worried about?"

"Uh, sir, will it cause trouble to deprive Shi Gao of his own territory? After all, you personally enthroned it. It would be better for you to go back on your word, right?" Xiang Wen deliberately turned what he wanted to say to government affairs.

"I enthroned Shi Gao at the beginning, not the territory. Just look at their enthronement books. It only contains the Shi Gao number, but does not describe the location of the territory at all."

Cons smiled and then sighed: "Actually, I didn't care much about Qingyue City at the beginning, and I was really planning to enfeoff the territory.

"But Okde reminded me that even a small soldier had a high place, and the entire Qingyue City would be divided up because when the ministers did not commit crimes of rebellion, the lord could not make any mistakes at the subordinates' territory, which was very unfavorable to development and construction.

"There is also the fact that you can get Shigao as soon as you enter the army. Once something that the residents of the Peninsula pursue for a lifetime is flooded, it will lose its appeal.

"And according to the laws of business, the more commodities, the less valuable it is. Once the commodities are not valuable, they will depreciate. For example, if they are bribed by important officials, the other princes can bribe the other party and surrender, but the Lei family needs 10,000 stones to bribe them."

"So you have been good at doing good?" Xiang Wen asked.

"That's right, the monarch's reward to his retainers is just like doing business, and if there are too many, it will seem worthless."

Cons nodded.

"Uh, it seems that too few people can't do it, right? If few people have obtained territory, the retainers will think that the lord is mean and polite. Moreover, the rich people who are seeking resignation now can have territory. Among so many direct retainers who have lived and died for you, only the Gong Zuo family and the Neil family have territory, which may cause turmoil." Xiangwen reminded.

Cons nodded and said, "Well, Weijie has long reported that the following complaints are everywhere. If they were not for their bandits and had attracted most of their attention by their annual and monthly salary, they would have been ill-intentioned. So I think that the retainers will be responsible for fighting this time, and the title of meritorious service is enfeoffed. I believe they will not have any objections anymore."

Xiang Wen said with some concern: "Sir, you have allocated all the power of government affairs to those who follow. Now, I'm afraid..."

"The military power was not divided. This time, the war soldiers were only responsible for field battles, and other local wars were completely resolved by the retainers. I don't care whether they were alone or in partnership, but I would confirm their merits according to the city they had broken down." Cons said.

"Ah? When did the lord give such an order?"

Xiangwen was very stunned. He didn't expect that Cons meant to let the retainers take their subordinates to attack the city by themselves. This would mean that the casualties should be particularly serious. Moreover, they could only rely on the standing army to go down in one fell swoop, but they caused these troubles. What exactly made the adults make this decision?

Seeing Xiang Wen's expression, Cons explained: "It was Okol who suggested that this would allow the retainers to experience the hardships of merit and to strengthen the combat capabilities of the retainers.

"Other practices also expressed support for this and said that this is the custom of Feidu Peninsula for many years. Seeing that they are willing to do so, I agreed."

When she heard it was Okol's suggestion, Xiang Wen immediately curled his lips and said, "Sir, I think it's the second master who is considering himself. When you come here, you will directly give him a general. None of the retainers below are convinced by him.

"He had been holding back his anger for a long time and was ready to make the contributions to convince the people below. You must know that if he had not had territory, his retainers would have regarded him as an enemy."

Cons just smiled and didn't respond to this.

After arriving in Qingyue City, Okor and An Zaikang were directly named generals, and Cons did not dare to label them higher than the four majors, after all, they were newcomers.

But unexpectedly, promoting his confidants to make such a perfectly reasonable thing in the mainland immediately aroused objections to the retainers.

The most important thing on this Feidu Peninsula is to be blood-related. If the one who was enthroned was Cons's brother, the retainers would not even make a fart. But now they are just sworn brothers who are the monarchs and ministers. Why do they have a high position without any contribution? The retainers are not convinced.

However, the retainers were just muttering below and did not dare to really give advice to Constellation.

But things were also very strange. An Zaikang, who was only Ryer Wenzhi, soon gained recognition from his retainers, and even regarded An Zaikang as his boss in business practice.

In an instant, Okor, who had hundreds of retainers, was treated indifferently by the entire retainer group. If it weren't for the success of several robberies, he would have been impeached long ago.

Thinking of this, Cons also found it strange.

After being enthroned, An Zaikang invited guests and drank everywhere, and in a few days he had a fierce fight with his retainers;

Okor also acted like this, even put down his figure and talked and fucked with his retainers, but few retainers liked him. If his status was not the same as the four majors, he might not even invite a few guests.

The retainers had such a reaction, perhaps because An Zaikang belonged to the internal affairs system, especially those who were in charge of money, and the retainers were favored by him; while Okor belonged to the military system and was the enemy of the retainers' struggle for real power in their families, so he was so hostile.

It's really strange that the princes who fly across the peninsula all use their retainers as pillars. A few great ministers divide the strength of the princes into seven or eight. The ministers are simply used to the fact that the ministers deceive the king.

Do these retainers think they can divide the real power of the Lei family?

Thinking of this, Cons couldn't help but smile.

"Sir, are you going to take care of me?" Xiang Wen gently pulled down Cons's sleeve and pointed to the pavilion on the pond in the distance.

Hearing this, Cons was stunned. What do you care about?

I looked at it and found that the red-haired woman in the pavilion was pointing at a few maids kneeling on the ground and scolding something, while the other two women seemed to be dissuading the red-haired woman to say something.

Seeing this scene, Cons frowned. Just as he was about to get up, the maids had been swept away, and only the three women were left in the pavilion. Seeing this, Cons had no intention of getting up and continued to sit on the ground.

"Sir, Uncle Oak is really too impatient. When he saw that the other party was a beautiful woman and had a noble status, he immediately invited them to stay regardless of his identity. He didn't even know what the other party's personality was, so he prepared... Humph, it's true." Xiang Wen said with a pout.

Cons smiled and said, "It's okay. No matter what, they are all princesses and priests from my country, and they are also taking care of me. It's also the right thing to ask me to take care of them now."

Hearing Cons say this, Xiangwen could only shut up and couldn't help but remember the scene of meeting the princess and the great priest.

After the passion of escaping from the cavalry and cheering, everyone calmed down. On the raft dragged by the boat, everyone looked at the sea anxiously, hoping that the sea boat that Cons brought them to appear as soon as possible. After all, this raft is not so easy to wait.

The people on the ship began to discuss what kind of place it was when taking off the peninsula. Because they had already announced their destination before sailing, everyone was surprised that Cons, an imperial officer, had a territory in a foreign country, but they didn't care much. Instead, they were glad that they didn't have to become a seaman who regards the ship as their home.

I don’t know how long I sailed, but some people think it’s just a while, and some people think it’s been a long time, so I heard the lookout hand of the watchtower shouting: “The ship in front of me has come to the verbs, saying that we have already contacted our fleet, and the fleet has come to pick us up!”

Everyone knows that I finally don’t have to crowd with so many people anymore, and cheers suddenly shook the sky.

When Cons, who was standing on the side of the ship, saw the two huge sea boats among hundreds of sea boats on the sea, he couldn't help but be stunned, turned his head and asked Weijie, "Didn't it mean there is only one big ship? Why did it become two? Did Qingyue City buy one so quickly?"

An Zaikang interjected with a puzzled look on his face and said, "It's impossible. The Jiqiao-class merchant ship cannot be purchased if it is not a registered merchant group in Jiqiao Port."

An Zaikang felt very strange. Which business group had also come here? And it was actually hanging the flag of Qingyue City like his merchant ship. Does the other party want to compete with him for food?

However, An Zaikang immediately laughed. His eldest brother was the master of Qingyue City, and he would also be responsible for the economic operation of Qingyue City. On the ground of Qingyue City, no businessman could not rob him. It was really worrying.

Weijie, who had the chance to reply at this moment, shook his head and said, "Sir, most of our intelligence forces are concentrated on military aspects, and the intelligence power in commercial matters is not very strong. However, if a combat-capable sea ship appears, they will definitely pay attention. Now the subordinates have not received any news, which shows that this sea ship is not harmful."

"Well, since that's the case, no matter what's going on, since the other party is willing to help with the shipping, we need to thank you." Cons smiled.

It is normal for such human nature, and everyone nodded to express their understanding. Whether the other party was due to coercion and inducement or friendly sponsorship, the local owners had to go and say thank you. This is a matter of demeanor.

On the side of the two very conspicuous giant ships, Xiaoqin was looking at the side of the two very conspicuous ships.

After seeing Xiaoqin's expression, Alice frowned, then looked at her anxiously, and said worriedly: "Why didn't An Zaikang appear yet? Nothing will happen? May God bless him." As she said that, she prayed with a pious look on her face.

Xiaoqin didn't notice anything was wrong and prayed as well.

Isna, who was next to her, sighed. Although she didn't want to think too much about her friend, for some reason, she felt that Alice's words and deeds were very false.

Although I felt uncomfortable, but not to find out that the simple Xiaoqin was wrong, Isna still had to change the topic: "I wonder why An Zaikang and Ryer Wenzhi are so optimistic about the Lord of Qingyue City? He actually sent an order to let the ship clear the supplies and help transport people. Qingyue City does not seem to have any specialties?"

Before arriving at the port of Qingyue City, Alice and the others were discovered by An Zaikang's left-behind personnel. After all, they could recognize the ships of their fleet at a glance.

But Alice did not get any special news from these servants. She just knew that An Zaikang had gone to see a big man. She originally wanted to go with her, but it was the Ultraman Empire. She would cause trouble at any time. Thinking about the trouble she had caused in the past, she had to wait quietly in the port.

Now that I have heard that An Zaikang has returned with the ship, the three of them who have been at the dock for so long have to come out to get some air, so I followed the fleet out of the sea.

"Don't look at Qingyue City that there are no specialties. Its geographical location close to Ultraman Empire can make it profitable. An Kang is really smart and knows how to deal with local powerful people."

Alice said proudly.

She knew in her heart that Isna would not be unclear about this, and she also knew very well that Isna deliberately changed the subject. Although she was reluctant, she had to deliberately put on a silly look to threaten Xiaoqin, the maid. Seeing Xiaoqin's face flushed and wanted to say but dare not say it, Alice felt bitter in her heart.

If I hadn't grasped An Zaikang's life-saving straw, would I need to show off my illusion to compete with a maid for a man?
