Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

"These seven people are all veterans who joined Longmen a long time ago and have been following the leader to conquer the world. I have only joined Longmen not long ago, so how can I be qualified to teach them? This is not appropriate."

Liu Zhengfeng expressed his thoughts directly.

Ye Yunfei said: "There is nothing inappropriate. Your qualifications in Longmen are indeed not as good as theirs, but your management ability is countless times stronger than theirs."

"Even if the seven of them were combined, their management abilities would not be as good as yours. What I asked you to teach them is your experience in managing the five southeastern provinces."

"You have managed the five southeastern provinces in an orderly manner. They are very wealthy places in the entire Republic of China. Therefore, I am well aware of your abilities."

"There will be no problem if you teach them."

After listening to Ye Yunfei, Liu Zhengfeng frowned and said, "But..."

He still felt that something was not right.

Ye Yunfei interrupted him directly and said, "No buts, it's settled."

"For the next week, the eight of you, do not leave Shanghai. Liu Zhengfeng will give lectures to the seven of you."

"Talk about the management experience of a province, talk about how to make a province develop better, and talk about how to develop the economy."

"These seven days are considered an expedited training. You must study hard and learn the most important and precious things from Liu Zhengfeng."

"Do you seven understand?"

Ye Yunfei stared at Chang Gui, A Tai and the other seven people and asked.

"understood."

Chang Gui, A Tai and seven others all nodded.

Of course they don't like to attend classes. As rough people who love fighting and killing, attending classes is much more difficult for them than killing people.

However, since Ye Yunfei gave the order, they had to obey.

Of course, the one who suffered the most was Liu Zhengfeng. It was extremely difficult for him to teach this group of Longmen senior executives.

These people have followed Ye Yunfei for a long time and have made great contributions to Longmen.

Teaching these people is definitely more difficult than governing the five southeastern provinces.

Ye Yunfei saw Liu Zhengfeng's helplessness and said, "Liu Zhengfeng, you don't need to care about their identities or how much power they have. Just treat them as elementary school students and teach them."

"If any of them don't listen to you, just tell me and I'll take care of it."

Liu Zhengfeng smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I understand, Sect Master. I will do my best to teach them management experience."

"However, these brothers have been fighting for years, so they may not know much about these things. It is unclear how much they can learn."

Ye Yunfei said: "Just do your best to teach them. As for how much they can learn, it depends on themselves."

Liu Zhengfeng nodded: "I understand."

Afterwards, Ye Yunfei asked Liu Zhengfeng to take the seven people away and teach them knowledge about urban governance.

After everyone left, Ding Li came over and said, "Brother Fei, you gave them all tasks and asked them to study, so what about me? What should I do?"

Ye Yunfei said: "Why, you want to study too."

"Sure, I'll talk to Liu Zhengfeng and you can just follow him and study."

When he heard about studying, Ding Li immediately smiled bitterly and said, "Forget about studying. I'm not smart enough to learn. You should tell me something else."

"Apart from studying, I will definitely do everything for you. There won't be any problems. If I can't do it well, then you can ask me."

Ye Yunfei said: "I have already said it at the meeting. Now the most important thing for us in Longmen is not fighting and killing, but managing the cities we have occupied."

"It is much harder to rule the country than to conquer it. If we cannot manage the cities we have already occupied, it will be useless no matter how much territory we conquer."

"I know you don't like studying, so I didn't arrange anything for you. However, you have to pay attention to yourself. In this era, fighting and killing alone is not enough. You also have to learn some cultural knowledge."

"I heard that Wen Qiang has been teaching you how to write. How is your learning going?"

Ding Li said: "Brother Qiang is indeed teaching me how to study and write, and I have learned a little bit, but it still feels a little difficult. It will probably take a long time before I can recognize all the characters."

Ye Yunfei said: "Wen Qiang is also very busy now. He has so many things to deal with in Longmen. How can he have the time to teach you? I will find a teacher for you. When you are free, let him teach you how to write or something."

"In short, it's good for you to learn more."

Ding Li nodded and said, "I understand, Brother Fei, I will listen to you. Find a teacher to teach me."

"I also want to become a cultured person like you and Brother Qiang."

Ye Yunfei said: "I don't expect you to become a cultured person, it would be great if you just learn more knowledge."

"Okay, I won't talk to you about this anymore. How is your training going? Previously, I handed over all the 180,000 troops that Liu Zhengfeng recruited to you. How is your training going now?"

Liu Zhengfeng recruited 180,000 troops from Wu Fatian. This 180,000 troops is not a small number.

However, because these 180,000 people were Wu Fatian's men, Ye Yunfei handed them over to Ding Li for training.

Let’s first completely transform it into Longmen’s person.

During this period, Ding Li has been training troops in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and I don't know what the result is.

Ding Li said: "Brother Fei, don't worry. I'm not good at studying, but I have no problem with training soldiers."

"I train those 180,000 people every day, not only to train their combat effectiveness, but also to train their loyalty."

"It took me nearly a month to make them behave themselves."

"Now they have completely submitted to our Longmen, and their combat effectiveness has also improved a lot."

"Even if we can't compare to Longmen's core army, at least we have 70% to 80% of their strength."

"I feel that after a few months of training, we will be able to do everything right. We will definitely be the most powerful army."

Ye Yunfei nodded and said, "That's good. I'm not too worried about the training, but you shouldn't be too strict with your soldiers. Training should be a combination of strictness and leniency. If you are too strict, it may cause dissatisfaction among them."

"I heard that you often beat and scold soldiers, is that right?"

Ding Li said: "Yes, some people are disobedient and unwilling to be disciplined, so they must be beaten. If not, they will not accept it at all."

"If there are one or two troublemakers, the others will follow suit, so they have to be beaten when necessary, otherwise they will never be convinced."

Ye Yunfei said: "You can fight, but be careful not to overdo it."

"Also, we can give them more money. Most of these soldiers join the army for money."

"Giving money may be better than taking action to some extent..."
