"This ti, the imperial court has taken such a big hit, most people must be dissatisfied with the Southern Border, right?"
"Dissatisfaction is certain." Chu Heng didn’t pay much attention to this matter: "However, the Sacred Girl of Southern Border can be replaced. It’s just a matter of the Southern Border’s attitude and the imperial court’s attitude."
"If the imperial court is determined to subdue the Southern Border, it can only send troops to forcibly subdue it. The Southern Border has been independent for so many years due to its terrain, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the fact that there are not many people there, and plenty of insects, snakes, rats, and ants."
"Trying to conquer the Southern Border is not an easy task."
In the end, in a previous life, the idea of subduing the Southern Border was only raised in the fifth year after Prince Rong beca Emperor.
And at that ti, the Southern Border had beco a force to be reckoned with, very stable and did not give the imperial court any reason to attack, leading Chu Heng to gather information to see how so of the Southern Border’s issues could be resolved.
"Actually, I’m very interested in the Southern Border’s Gu technique, especially the dical skill of the Southern Border Witch Doctors." Ye Muyu thought of those miraculous dicines, coupled with the effects of Gu insects, and felt a desire to preserve the tradition.
After all, the Southern Border’s Gu technique in later generations was no longer as magical.
But the dicines were still very useful.
"For now, I can’t help you find more dical books from the Southern Border. Once I gather information, I’ll definitely find useful dical books for you." Chu Heng said, noticing her interest.
Ye Muyu leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, her eyes smiling brightly: "I’m not necessarily after the Southern Border’s dical books. It’s great if we can find them, but it doesn’t matter if we can’t."
"It’s not a difficult task, it just requires ti." Chu Heng said helplessly. He was not suitable to appear too prominent right now; before the imperial court decided how to deal with the Southern Border, it was not appropriate for him to get involved.
Ye Muyu could naturally understand this too. She rubbed Chu Heng’s neck, indicating she was really not in a hurry.
The reason is simple, she needed to progress gradually in learning dicine, so she wasn’t in a hurry for dical books.
The next day, Chu Heng continued working in the Ministry of War.
He didn’t get involved in the conflict between the Qi and Deng families.
Instead, he strategized with the Minister of War and others, with the assistance of Zhou Tianqi, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War. Both of them liked to accomplish practical work.
Although Hu Hua and others posed so minor troubles for him, Chu Heng continued with the reform in the Ministry of War thodically, collecting the identity and registration of every soldier.
Minister Qi has been in a bad mood lately.
It’s not just because Zhang Zhonghai suddenly fell from power, affecting so of his business collaborations.
Minister Qi only began to audit the accounts, and realized that since new collaborators were chosen, so of his shops’ profits had actually decreased.
The inco for the first half of the year was actually only half of that of previous years’ first halves.
This was actually normal, considering the Gao Family used to control the most famous restaurants, clothing stores, and gambling dens in the capital.
These were profitable businesses.
Similar to luxury brands in later generations.
As the people of Great Chu beca wealthier, they naturally pursued better things.
Without these shops, the revenue naturally dropped.
Moreover, the Qi family has recently had many places where they needed to spend money, leading to even more decreases in advance outgoings.
That’s not all; they also encountered the Deng Family’s actions against King Qi.
Even though they had already exposed the Deng family’s maneuvers to Emperor Xuanming, Emperor Xuanming’s mood has beco increasingly hard to grasp. Minister Qi brought along a group of colleagues and fought all day, only to have the punishnt for King Qi lifted.
