"Good sister, your official documents are upside down.”
Mu Qing reminded.
Lin Yunqin cried out in surprise, and her pretty face became even more shy, almost burying herself in the towering peaks.
Even Mu Qing felt that it was too beautiful to look at, let alone the man. She couldn't help but take a second look.
"In the past, I didn't realize that my younger sister's body was so plump.”
She teased.
"Sister Qinger, if you keep talking, I'll ignore you.”
Lin Yunqin was like an ostrich.
"Alright, alright. Quickly finish reading the official documents. If there's nothing to change, we still have to send them back to the county government so that Lord Deputy Prefect can send the replies to the various county offices.”
Hearing this, Lin Yunqin raised her head and sat upright. It was not difficult to read the official documents, but it was a little boring.
Fortunately, she had a quiet personality and could sit still.
After dealing with the documents that piled up like a mountain, it was already evening. It was snowing heavily outside. Lin Xuan had already finished practicing his saber and was drinking tea and reading.
"How's that girl Yunqin's ability?”
Mu Qing came to the room and Lin Xuan asked without raising his head.
"Although it's a little rough, I'm very familiar with it. I'll definitely be able to help you.”
She pursed her lips and replied.
"I hope she can really control herself.”
Lin Xuan chuckled.
"Yunqin is extremely intelligent, she should be able to understand Young Master's good intentions.”
After saying that, she added charcoal to the furnace, and the originally dispirited fire slowly surged.
The hot air surged, and pieces of snow drifted in through the cracks of the window. They landed on the windowsill and melted in the blink of an eye.
He took out a list from the bookshelf and handed it over."This was sent by Ziyuan. There are the names of the twelve officers in charge of the four divisions, the Arrest Division, the Prison Division, the City Guard Division, and the Secret Intelligence Division.
Go and investigate the background of these people and see if Zi Yuan has overlooked anything.”
Mu Qinger took the list and took a glance at it before memorizing all the names on it.
However, the name of the original chief of the Secret Intelligence Department had been crossed out and became her name.
"Young Master, you want me to take over the Secret Intelligence Department?”
she asked softly.
"Is there a problem?"
Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows.
Originally, apart from the network, Mu Qinger had been in charge of the intelligence network under his command.
"No problem."
She shook her head.
"The Secret Intelligence Department is especially important. Other than monitoring the entire County of Yan, we also have to monitor the entire grassland, the Northern Python, and the movements of the Northern Liang.”
"I don't feel at ease leaving it to someone else.”
Lin Xuan chuckled,"Only you can do it."”
"Many of the hidden stakes that were buried in the Northern Liang can't be used anymore. My foster father is as smart as a fox, I'm afraid he has already noticed it.
When I was in Northern Liang, he couldn't make a big fuss about it. Now that I've left Northern Liang, he should have already removed many of our hidden forces.”
"Just place another piece."
"Give me two years and I'll definitely be able to make Bei Liang riddled with holes," Mu Qing said.”
One in the light and one in the dark. The Secret Intelligence Department was in the light and the net was in the dark.
"It's been hard on Qinger all these years."
He stretched out his hand and pulled her into his embrace. He pinched her face while his other hand slipped into his robe.
"Young Master."
Mu Qinger closed her eyes and enjoyed the warm time. The wind blew and the snow hit the door and windows.
The snow grew heavier and the wind grew colder. It blew across Mount Dafu and drowned the entire County of Yan.
A few days later, the list of officials of the four divisions was confirmed. Taking advantage of this winter, Lin Xuan had many decrees to implement.
The first was to reduce taxes and some cumbersome projects. This way, they would have to use troops against the Huqiang tribe in the spring of next year.
If they did not use war to support war, then the reduced taxes would cause the treasury to be empty.
The black-armored army and the prefecture army added up to 20,000 people. They were basically a gold-devouring beast that consumed countless money and food every day.
Especially since most of these 20,000 people were cavalrymen. Not to mention anything else, just the food that one person and one horse ate every day would require the support of several households.
Warhorses were precious, so were soldiers. Not only did they have good weapons and armor, but they also had good food.
Otherwise, it was impossible to guarantee their combat strength.
With the current situation in the County of Yan, if they didn't have a strong force, how could they resist the invasion of the Hu Qiang tribe and the Northern Python?
For this, Lin Xuan gathered all the officials in the prefecture and discussed for two days and two nights. In the end, under his insistence, it was decided.
In the short term, reducing taxes was indeed harmful, but in the long run, after the people of Yan County recuperated.
The benefits he obtained were huge.
However, under this kind of internal pressure, the only way was to use war to nurture war.
Other than reducing taxes, there was also encouragement to open up wasteland and attract refugees to Yan.
Although the implementation of various decrees made the people of Yan County overjoyed, the most direct result was that the gold and silver in the treasury quickly decreased.
Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Lin Zhentian had joined forces with many aristocratic families in the County of Yan to gather 200,000 taels of silver for the yamen.
Of course, when Lin Zhentian was contacting these aristocratic families, Tian Hu brought a thousand black-armored soldiers with him.
The people of the County of Yan were poor, but these aristocratic families were extremely rich.
In addition, Justin had brought cattle and sheep south to Jiangnan in exchange for a large amount of food and gold.
Finally, Lin Xuan survived this winter.
It just so happened that it was difficult to move without money, but with money, nothing was difficult in the world.
In the blink of an eye, the New Year had passed. It was the beginning of the second spring, and the snow in Yan County continued to fall intermittently.
It would take another month or two for the snow to melt.
Taking advantage of the remaining time, the entire County of Yan became busy.
The first was the spring plowing this year.
The second thing was to use troops against the Huqiang tribe.
After a winter of training, the Black Armored Army had already begun to show signs of strength. Their morale was high, and they were waiting for the battle to begin. They were going to ruthlessly kill those barbarians from the Huqiang Tribe.
Big Pan 'er and Yan Ri would capture some Northern Python martial arts experts and bring them back to Yan County every once in a while.
There were righteous path, demonic path, and many lone cultivators.
For a moment, everyone in the Northern Python martial arts world was in danger.
These Northern Python experts were all imprisoned in the training room under the Governor's Mansion.
When Lin Xuan was free, he would use these Northern Python experts to cultivate. After squeezing all their value dry, he would ferret them.
Using this method, his killing god points increased at a terrifying speed.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month
In the end, on the 16th of the first month, Lin Xuan called the generals in the army to the prefect's manor. Even Zhang Wei, who was guarding Broken Dragon Pass, was present.
Tian Hu, Meng Jiao, Zhang Long, Zhang Wei, Huyan Lie, Xue Dhuta, and Jia Xiong were his main subordinates.
Tian Hu and the others came from the Tiger Leopard Cavalry of Beiliang, while Jia Xiong and Xue Toutuo were soldiers of the Yan County Prefecture. They entered Lin Xuan's eyes and were promoted to commandants.
"Do you know why I called you here?”
Lin Xuan crossed his arms.
"Is there a need to say that? Of course we're going to war."
"I've been waiting for a long time." Tian Hu grinned.”
"Hit the small one first."
Lin Xuan pointed at the few Huqiang tribes marked on the map and said,"The Tuoba Tribe, Aman Tribe, Muxun Tribe, and Tiexun 'er Tribe are all medium-sized tribes. They have tens of thousands of clansmen and three to ten thousand cavalrymen.”
