My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

Jiang Li saw their performance but was not surprised at all, because he had intentionally selected these people during the previous interviews. They did not have particularly outstanding abilities but their backgrounds were not too high.

Because he knew that only such people could truly understand the demands of the people and could reasonably handle documents related to people's livelihood.

Seeing how hard they were working, Jiang Li didn't disturb them. He went to the study room carrying a box of military documents.

However, when he entered the study, he did not deal with the documents. Instead, he pushed the things on the table aside, took out a few Taoist robes from the storage bag, fell on the table and fell asleep.

After all, he had slept less than five hours in the past three days. Even though his cultivation had reached the level of Earth Master, he still couldn't stand this intensity of work.

I don’t know how long I slept before Jiang Li woke up in a daze. He got up from the table and looked outside. It was almost dark.

Fortunately, he did not continue to deal with these military documents. Anyway, there was nothing urgent to do now. Most of these documents were about allocating supplies and money, replenishing weapons and equipment, and transferring personnel. They were not too urgent.

After tidying up his clothes, he walked towards the hall. When he arrived, he found that the nine people had almost finished processing the documents.

At the moment, they were holding several controversial documents and discussing them. Jiang Li did not disturb them. He asked someone to prepare some food. Then he sat on a chair and checked their opinions on how to deal with the matter.

At first glance, it was quite good. Although some aspects were not perfect, it was to his liking. He spent an hour reading all the documents.

A few slightly controversial issues were decided, which means that the government affairs concerning people's livelihood in recent days have been completed.

By this time the dishes were ready. Jiang Li was not arrogant. He called a few people together, prepared a table, and invited them to eat together.

The nine people were all flattered when they heard this. With Jiang Li's current status, he was out of their reach in their eyes.

It is an incredible honor to invite them to dinner so casually. I would never have dared to think about it before today.

However, after being excited, they finally came to their senses, sat down carefully, and had dinner with Jiang Li.

However, after seeing this not-so-sumptuous dinner, they sighed, "The commander is diligent in his work and loves the people. He lives frugally. He is really a blessing to the people!"

"Alright, alright, eleven dishes for ten people is not too few. There's chicken and fish here, how can you say we're being frugal?"

Jiang Li chuckled and said something self-deprecating, then asked a few people to start eating.

Seeing this, several people stopped flattering him, but in their opinion, Jiang Li had hundreds of thousands of troops under his command and ruled over tens of millions of people.

When entertaining subordinates, the meal was just five meat dishes, five vegetable dishes and an egg soup, which was really frugal.

Without saying anything more, they picked up their bowls and chopsticks and started eating. After they finished eating, Jiang Li gave a summary of their work that day.

"I have reviewed all the government affairs you have handled today. Although there are still some flaws and it is not perfect, it has met my expectations."

"So I'll have someone confirm the military position I promised you in a few days."

Several people were overjoyed when they heard this. In this way, they would become the emperor's close ministers and would have a bright future!

"But you didn't look deeply enough into some of the issues. I've picked out those documents and re-approved them. Please look back and try to do better next time!"

"Don't worry, Commander. We will study and correct our mistakes seriously and strive to do more practical and good things for the people."

After listening to their statements, Jiang Li didn't say anything else. He arranged a room for them to rest and sent them away.

After they left, he instructed people to find some craftsmen to renovate the government affairs hall tomorrow, to build a few more workstations and places to store documents, so that they wouldn't have to temporarily share tables when handling government affairs.

A few days passed again.

Jiang Li was handling military affairs that day when Zhao Hong suddenly knocked on the study door. "Commander, I have found the tomb-raiding lieutenant you asked me to find!"

Jiang Li immediately put down what he was doing and called him in. "Oh~, tell me what happened, who did you find?"

"I received the commander's order and immediately sent it down, ordering someone to find out the news about these people."

"Two days ago, our people sent us news that two groups of people, Banshan and Xiling, were found near Nuqing County. They were plotting to go into Pingshan to search for treasure. Currently, our people have controlled them."

Jiang Li's eyes lit up when he heard this. The Taoist who moves mountains and the strong man who removes mountains are in Pingshan again. I think this should be the plot of "The Wrath of Xiangxi".

Sure enough, Zhao Hong's next words verified his guess, "The leader of the Taoist monks who move mountains seems to be called Partridge Whistle, and the leader of the strong men who remove mountains seems to be called Chen Yulou."

"It is said that they went to rob the tomb this time because there was a drought in Hunan this year, and many people were displaced. They planned to take out the treasures in Pingshan and use them to resettle the people."

As he spoke, Zhao Hong revealed an expression of admiration, and it was obvious that he really appreciated their actions.

"It is indeed Nuqing Xiangxi. It seems that I have to go there in person this time, otherwise the centipede monster in there may be difficult to deal with!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Li also said directly to Zhao Hong: "In this case, let's prepare. We have to do things like disaster relief and rescue!"

Zhao Hong went downstairs to prepare after saying that, and Jiang Li was not idle either. He directly ordered to assemble some people from the Supernatural Bureau.

He also took dozens of nesting roosters that were cultivated with blood mushrooms, and finally took the two spirit chickens with him. Only then did he feel a little relieved.

After that, he waited for a few more days until all the members of the Supernatural Bureau who had rushed over from Guangdong and Guangxi arrived, and then he set out with a group of newly trained Taoist soldiers and the 20,000 troops mobilized by Zhao Hong.

According to intelligence, the members of the Supernatural Bureau are no longer just the less than one hundred Maoshan Taoists, but also hundreds of extraordinary people.

In addition to Taoists and monks, there are also some fortune tellers, traveling doctors, and Feng Shui masters. In short, it is a mess and the composition is very complicated.

Fortunately, these people have all been screened by the Maoshan Taoists, so their character and abilities are more or less guaranteed.

But this time Jiang Li did not call all the members over, so only one hundred and twenty people came.

And when they learned that Jiang Li had called them here to rob tombs, many of them showed great resistance. Even those Maoshan Taoists who were very close to him frowned and remained silent, obviously waiting for his explanation.

Jiang Li had no choice but to take out the financial statements he had seen before and explain the key points to them.

When they learned that the money would be used to resettle refugees and treat the people, their puzzled expressions relaxed a little.
