Chapter 191 The South Should Make Early Plans
Chapter 191 The South Should Make Early Plans
Qi Wushuang heard about what happened in the side hall of Chu Fuchi and the others. Seeing Ye Wuwei coming back, he had no intention of staying in the side hall of Taiji Hall.
He asked Xiao Dengzi to pass a message to Chu Fuchi on his behalf: let Chu Fuchi deliver the memorial to his bedroom.
After Qi Wushuang returned to the bedroom, Ye Wuwei pulled him to look at the gold first.
"This is the pocket money my master gave me. Is it a lot?"
Indeed a lot!
"Your master is really good to you."
"He used to be very good to me and treated me like his son."
"Due to his damaged body, the Shui family master has no children."
"Master Shui has no children?"
"You do not know?"
"I didn't ask."
Ye Wuwei thought in his heart:
In his previous life, Master did not get married and have children due to the nature of his work. Now that he has come to another world and his health has recovered, we can persuade him to get married.
At this time, Xiao Dengzi came back.
Seeing a box of gold, Xiao Dengzi was shocked:
"This box of gold wasn't there when I left this morning. Where did it come from?"
"My master, the head of the Shui family, gave it to me."
Ye Wuwei took two gold bars and handed them to Xiao Dengzi, "Take this and spend it."
The two bars of gold weighed four pounds in total. Little Dengzi took them and felt a sinking sensation in his hands: "Give it to me?"
"Well, please take care of me on weekdays."
Little Dengzi looked at Qi Wushuang, and Qi Wushuang said, "Just take what Wuwei gave it to you."
Little Dengzi felt quite complicated.
Little Dengzi was often dissatisfied with Ye Wuwei in his heart, blaming him for taking away His Majesty's soul.
But to be honest, Ye Wuwei is indeed a very good person. Putting aside other things, his temper is beyond words.
He is not only good-tempered but also easy to serve and generous.
He has served His Majesty for many years, but His Majesty has never rewarded him with forty taels of gold at once.
From now on, should I stop blaming Ye Wuwei?
……
Ye Wuwei ignored the little thoughts in Xiao Dengzi's mind, closed the box, and pulled Qi Wushuang to talk about other things.
Ye Wuwei first talked about the collusion between Master Yuwen and Mu Yiyang.
"Grand Master Yuwen is very ambitious. I think he will put it into action sooner or later."
“I know about this, Fu Chi told me before I went to Mo Nan.
Now that your master has become the head of the Shui family, there is no need to worry about Yuncheng anymore, but Huishui and Nancheng are very important.
As long as we control Huishui and Nancheng, it will be impossible for the South to become an independent country."
"Whose people are the governors of Huishui and Nancheng?"
"The governor of Huishui is from the Qi clan. Qi Guangren has already written to him to inform him of this matter, so he must have been prepared.
But the Southern City Governor is from the Yuwen clan, so we can't instigate him to rebel."
Ye Wuwei thought about the Qi Dynasty map in his mind:
"As long as we control Yuncheng and Huishui, conquering Nanling will be no problem.
After Nanling is conquered, and Nancheng is taken, the Yuwen clan will no longer be able to act rashly."
"That being said, Nanling is a very difficult place to conquer."
"I know that Nanling has many mountains and forests, and is filled with miasma. Troops from other places won't be able to adapt to the environment.
Especially the Black Armored Army, who are accustomed to fighting in the northern deserts and plains."
Seeing that Ye Wuwei understood, Qi Wushuang asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
“Indeed.
Master told me today:
The terrain of Yuncheng and Huishui is similar to that of Nanling, except that there is no miasma. The Shui family can make pills to prevent and treat miasma.
Therefore, I would like to recruit a group of soldiers from Yuncheng and Huishui to train them in mountain and forest warfare."
Qi Wushuang blurted out: "You want to go to Yuncheng again? I don't agree."
“Things like training don’t require me to do it myself.
Captain Wang, who used to follow me, is quite clever. The new district outside of Qamdo will be completed next spring. I think I can send him to Yuncheng to recruit and train new soldiers then."
As long as it’s not Ye Wuwei, anyone can go.
"Then we will send Captain Wang to be there and promote him to a Thousand Household Member."
After saying this, Ye Wuwei talked about another thing:
"Master wants to be appointed as the Chief Censor of the Censorate, so that he can help us in the court."
Ye Wuwei also mentioned that the current Chief Censor of the Censorate would be observing mourning.
“That’s good.
With your master appointed as the Chief Censor of the Censorate, and with Hu Zhiwei won over, the Censorate will be able to officially operate."
Hu Zhiwei is a close confidant of General Qi and the Deputy Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate who once brought Ye Wuwei and Miss Qi together.
"Well, Hu Zhiwei is a good guy.
After Master becomes the Chief Censor of the Censorate, I plan to strengthen the relationship between Hu Zhiwei and Master."
"I heard that you proposed the idea of establishing the Qi'an Department to the cabinet today?"
"Yes."
Ye Wuwei showed Qi Wushuang the few papers he had written:
"I'm not good at marching and fighting, and I'm even worse than Chu Fuchi and Chen Shusheng at governing a country, but I believe I'm better at gathering intelligence."
After Qi Wushuang finished reading Qi Anbu's plan, Ye Wuwei explained the pros and cons and key points to Qi Wushuang in detail.
"If the Qi'an tribe is well managed, it can become a sharp sword in your hand, but if it is not well managed, it can easily become notorious."
“I trust you to do your job, nothing will happen to the Qi’an tribe in your hands.
As for the future, we have no control over how it develops."
Qi Wushuang's words were exactly the same as what Ye Wuwei said to his master today.
Seeing that Qi Wushuang had no objection, Ye Wuwei said:
"Then I will write a memorial and submit it to the cabinet."
"Well, should the standards of the Qi'an Department be higher?"
Ye Wuwei set the highest official of the Qi'an tribe, the commander, as the third rank.
"Let's do this for now. Once the Qi'an Division is officially established, we'll move up."
After hearing what Ye Wuwei said, Qi Wu and his party gave up.
