This court meeting was not a major state matter. After settling some existing issues, Xiao Yuan dismissed the court meeting with a wave of his hand.
Then he went to the study room and started reviewing the memorials.
Sometimes, it's hard to find time to relax.
Most of the official documents in the volumes were letters from local county governors. Some talked about land issues and some talked about population issues. Xiao Yuan considered them one by one and finally wrote and gave instructions.
The governor of Zitong County wrote a letter and kept talking nonsense. He asked Xiao Yuan if he was in good health recently and whether he was eating and sleeping well. He also said that I was worried about the king and missed him.
Xiao Yuan felt helpless about this kind of thing, and threw it aside after taking a quick glance at it.
In the entire territory of Qin, Sichuan and Shu were the most stable places.
Because the people there are simple and fertile, and the fields are thousands of miles away. In addition, the construction of the Chuanjiang Weir has nourished countless farmlands. Since the founding of the country, there have been almost no wars in the territory. It is conceivable that the people live and work in peace and contentment.
The governor of Zitong County has nothing to do.
Fortunately, although he kept getting such meaningless memorials, he was still quite successful in managing civil affairs. The county was also prosperous, so Xiao Yuan didn't blame him much.
After he finished processing a batch of memorials, Xu Hu also stepped in, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, General Lin wants to see you."
"Oh?" This surprised Xiao Yuan: "Please invite him in quickly."
"promise!"
Xu Hu saluted and left. Not long after, Lin Chu quickly walked into the study. Naturally, he knelt down and saluted first: "I am here to see you, Your Majesty."
"No need to be polite, get up and talk." Xiao Yuan put down his brush.
"Yes." Lin Chu stood up. He was not wearing armor, but in casual clothes. Ever since the Xue Clan joined the war against Xirong, he had been following Xiao Yuan. Whenever there was a war, he would definitely go out to fight. On the surface, there were few Seeing him, he is the most important person in the Qin army. All military intelligence comes from him. You can imagine his military exploits. Otherwise, Xiao Yuan would not have made him a count after the founding of the country.
Lin Chu was a leader among the young men of the Snow Clan. He was unparalleled in spying on information. He was not the kind of flamboyant person. He was very low-key in his work, so it was rare to see him appear on certain occasions.
After taking a look at him, Xiao Yuan smiled slightly and said, "What? Have you encountered any problems at the Military Aircraft Department recently?"
The Military Aircraft Department is a department established by Xiao Yuan a long time ago. Its existence is not only as simple as spying on intelligence, but also equivalent to a pair of eyes of the Qin Army. All latent operations are also under the jurisdiction of its department.
The person in charge of his department was naturally Lin Chu. He had an official office in the capital, not far from Wuwei Mansion.
Lin Chu's status was very high among the Qin army, because he dominated all the activities of the Qin army secretly. Xiao Yuan naturally valued his request for an audience.
When the king asked, Lin Chu organized his words and said: "Under the leadership of the king, the Military Aircraft Department has developed to a relatively large scale. However, recently, due to various problems, the manpower of Weichen's side has been slightly reduced. It is not enough, so I would like to ask the king for approval, and I am ready to cast a wider net among the people."
After hearing this, Xiao Yuan pondered for a moment and said: "You have full control over the development of the Military Aircraft Department. However, I have to remind you that it is best not to be easily included in the regular establishment and not to be easily accessible to non-staff personnel. The secret core, sometimes, you think he is yours, maybe, he was deliberately penetrated by the enemy country."
"I understand, your Majesty, please rest assured." Lin Chu returned seriously.
"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded.
After a pause, Lin Chu added: "In addition, if the elite spies are not enough, I will also plan to return to the Snow Clan recently."
Xiao Yuan shook his head slightly: "You mean, you want to go back and ask for someone, right? In my opinion, I'm afraid it's inappropriate. Be careful of the saint's anger."
"This..." Lin Chu hesitated for a moment and said, "It is precisely because of this that I came to ask for an audience with the king, and begged the king to send a letter to the saint."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but feel happy. He looked at him and said, "Do you think Mu Lianying will agree to this king's letter?"
Unexpectedly, after Lin Chu heard this, he said seriously: "The saint will definitely give you the king's face. And the best among the best must be able to control the eagle, and be loyal to the country, so they must be young people from the Snow tribe. "
Xiao Yuan smiled bitterly. If this letter came to pass, he could imagine that the cold beauty would definitely say that he was greedy and used the Snow Clan as a military intelligence training base.
But the Military Aircraft Department was too important, and he had no choice. After thinking about it, he could only say helplessly: "Okay, I will write this letter. When will you go back?"
Lin Chu thought for a while: "Three days later, what does the king think?"
"Yes." Xiao Yuan responded, and then asked: "Does your army have enough military expenses?"
"The military expenditure is sufficient. If there is any shortage, I will definitely ask the king for help." Lin Chu also made a joke.
Xiao Yuan also smiled and said: "Recently, I have paid more attention to Huan Guo, especially Huan Shuai Sun Qi. If there is any news, I will report it as soon as possible."
After speaking, he also waved his hand.
"Yes! The minister is retiring." Lin Chu understood and quickly saluted.
The morning passed by in a hurry.
After finishing his work, Xiao Yuan also walked out of the study and stretched at the door: "Xu Hu, what time is it?"
"It's almost noon, it's time for your Majesty to have his meal." Xu Hu returned respectfully.
"Time flies by so fast." Xiao Yuan muttered, then looked at Xu Hu and said, "Want to come together? I will have a drink with you."
"Farewell." Xu Hu said quickly: "Your Majesty is having a family dinner today, I don't dare to..."
Lunch time.
In Gu Xue's bedroom, four people sat in front of the round table.
Xiao Yuan, Gu Xue, Zhong Duoduo, and Zhao Qingman.
The dishes were all served, but Zhong Duoduo had no intention of moving his chopsticks. Instead, he glared at Zhao Qingman with a pair of big watery eyes, and then at Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Yuan smiled, took the lead in picking up the chopsticks and said, "Eat, why are you standing there in a daze?"
He moved his chopsticks, and Gu Xue gently pulled Zhong Duoduo: "Duoduo..."
"Hmph!" Zhong Duoduo was so jealous that she couldn't help it anymore and pointed at Zhao Qingman: "Who is she!"
"..." Xiao Yuan was speechless for a while.
Zhao Qingman lowered his head slightly.
"Okay, the dishes are almost cold." Gu Xue said.
"Sister Xue." Zhong Duoduo felt a little aggrieved. She had a very good relationship with Gu Xue and often went shopping together, but she had to be jealous of Zhao Qingman.
Xiao Yuan felt a slight headache, so he picked up some of Gu Xue's favorite dishes and put them into her bowl.
Then he picked up Zhong Duoduo’s favorite food.
Then came Zhao Qingman.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The latter said softly.
Xiao Yuan looked at Zhong Duoduo and said concisely: "Eat."
