Steel Dynasty - Chapter 147

[Chapter 147 Xiao Ming’s little thoughts]

“Your Highness, this…”

Niu Ben hesitated.

Xiao Ming said jokingly: “Now I can only give the old general the post of governor. In this great governor, I am the king.”

“Your Highness, I don’t dare. It’s just that the old minister can’t bear the crime. Suddenly, he is in the army. “

I am afraid that the generals of the army will be dissatisfied if I serve as the commander-in-chief.” Niu Ben said.

Lu Fei also had great military exploits, but now he is just a school captain, and the same goes for Luo Xin. It is for this reason that Niu Ben is so worried.

After all, during the five years since he disappeared in Dayu, many soldiers would not even remember who he was.

“Old general, don’t worry. If I let the old general work under Lu Fei and Luo Xin, they will feel uncomfortable.” Xiao Ming said with a smile.

Lu Fei and Luo Xin suddenly laughed.

Lu Fei said: “Even if we invite the old general to serve as the governor, we can also lead us to beat the hell out of the barbarians.”

Luo Xin also said: “Old general, there is no need to be too modest. The position of governor has always been vacant. It seems that His Highness really has the talent. The foresight is reserved for the old general.”

Hearing this, Xiao Ming smiled unnaturally. This governor has always been vacant, and he just used this position to hang Lu Fei.

Otherwise, how could this prickly head be so obedient?

Now that Niu Ben is here, he is not worried about Lu Fei getting into trouble again in the army. Niu Ben never gives face to the powerful disciples in the army, and those who violate military law will still be punished.

Lu Fei seemed to be in awe of Niu Ben. He would probably be honest in the future and save himself the trouble.

“This… Since this is the case, the guilty minister should do his duty.” Niu Ben hesitated and said.

After taking over the post of Governor of Qingzhou, Niu Ben basically settled down in Qingzhou. Xiao Wenxuan sent Niu Ben here, with the implication that Niu Ben would stay in Qingzhou in the future.

After all, he once said angrily in court that he would never hire Niu Ben.

If you let him rush back, he will slap himself in the face.

Therefore, letting Niu Ben come to Qingzhou to do hard labor is the most suitable choice. After all, how Xiao Ming appoints Niu Ben is beyond his control.

When the court officials mentioned it, they would have pretended to be dumbfounded for a while.

It was with this in mind that Xiao Ming suddenly took up the position of Governor. This veteran would be his from now on.

After being given an official position, Niu Ben seemed to be worried and hesitant.

Xiao Ming asked with a smile: “The old general is worried about his family?”

“Your Highness, how do you know?” Niu Ben said in surprise.

His family is still in Chang’an. He has been doing hard labor for many years and he doesn’t know what happened to them? Now that he is serving as the governor of Qingzhou, it can be said that he has come out of the army again. He has to let his family come over and not suffer in Chang’an.

As a vassal king, Xiao Ming naturally has to consider these things. He has been learning the knowledge in the technology library these days. The way to employ people is to think about what they want in order to retain people’s hearts.

He said: “It’s just human nature. Don’t worry, old general. I have sent people to Chang’an to bring the old general’s family to Qingzhou, and I have also prepared a house for the old general in Qingzhou City.”

Niu Ben heard this and was deeply moved .

Touched, he didn’t expect Xiao Ming to think so much for him, he said: “Thank you Your Highness, I can only repay you with death.”

“That’s not necessary, the old general only needs to tidy up the two people in front of him, and no longer serve in the army. Just come here.” Xiao Ming glanced at Lu Fei and Luo Xin.

Both of their faces turned pale, and Lu Fei cried bitterly: “Your Highness, I didn’t mess with you, you can’t hurt me.”

“That’s right, Lieutenant Lu and I are just competing in the military, and there is no quarrel between us.” Luo Xin hurriedly explained.

Xiao Ming just smiled and said nothing.

Niu Ben thought for a while and understood the meaning of these words. He said: “Lu Fei, Luo Xin, you all know how I run the army. Your Highness does not understand the affairs of the army. You can handle it, but I can’t.” No.”

Lu Fei, a prickly man, was like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw Niu Ben. He said with a smile: “General, don’t dare, don’t dare.”

Luo Xin was helpless when Niu Ben came. I’m happy, but thinking about being under Niu Ben’s hands from now on, I can’t help but feel a chill behind me.

There will be no easy days in the future.

Xiao Ming was satisfied. What he needed now was someone who could command the entire army. After all, he had too many things to do, and the army was extremely important. This general was of great importance.

Now that the affairs in the army were settled, Xiao Ming also took some reassurance. He said to the three of them: “It’s getting late. I’ll ask my servants to prepare some food. Let’s eat here at noon.”

Lu Fei and Luo Xin Hearing this, he was very happy. He didn’t know that the delicacies in Prince Qi’s palace were unique in the world and could not be eaten anywhere else.

After a long journey, Niu Ben was also a little hungry. Seeing the happy faces of Lu Fei and Luo Xin, he was also a little curious, so he nodded.

Xiao Ming then called Zi Wan and asked him to prepare food, and asked Luluo to get some wine.

The kings and ministers of Dayu eat at different tables, but the same food is placed in front of everyone.

Now Xiao Ming can be regarded as getting rid of poverty and becoming rich. The money in the palace is also kept in order by Zi Wan.

There are now about a hundred servants in the palace, and there are more than ten maids serving in the palace. The dining room in the palace is no worse than the dining rooms in other princes’ palaces.

Recently, Ziyuan will add a team of dancers and singers to the palace. She said that even in the palace of the noble lord, she will not be laughed at by the guests.

With a pure heart, Xiao Ming did not refuse.

Because the lack of entertainment activities in ancient times was too boring.

And it would be nice to have someone dance for you at night. At least you can relieve your boredom in the palace.

Moreover, Aster and Lulu seemed to have received training in this area in the palace, and were good at singing and dancing, and could also choreograph dances. Thinking of this, he was a little moved.

Men, there are some pleasing things to look at, and it will be particularly refreshing to work.

However, he still has some principles, and he will not be as messy as those big families in the Wang family, and he also has other goals.

The common people also need entertainment, and he knows very well that people who have nothing to do like to cause trouble the most.

At this time, some entertainment activities can divert their attention.

His technological library includes not only technology, but also numerous works of art, and art is also a means of enlightening the people. He wants to create a Qingzhou with a different atmosphere, and the Renaissance is naturally indispensable.

And this requires a birthplace of art, and obviously, it also comes from his palace.

However, Xiao Ming, who was full of greatness and integrity, had to admit that when he was doing business, he did bring in private goods. He just wanted to see the two girls dancing.

Just as he was thinking about it, the banquet was already arranged.

Lu Fei was holding a jar of Drunken Qingzhou to fill Niu Ben with wine. He said: “General, you have to try our Qingzhou liquor. I promise you will pour it in three bowls.”
