"Where's Lin Yi?"

"I don't know. By the way, Your Majesty, why does Lin Yi have to make the decision?"

"Although he has a talent for business, it's still us who have to do the work..."

……

Before Lin Yi arrived, the assistant ministers of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel began to discuss with each other.

In fact, they all disapproved of Lin Yi helping with management in the rear, and even had to help the emperor review memorials...

How capable can a businessman be?

Although Bao Bu Tong and the other assistant ministers of the Ministry of Works disagreed with their words, they could only temporarily integrate with them at this time.

After all, no one knows what Lin Yi will do.

About an hour later, Lin Yi finally walked in.

He came in with some notebooks.

"Everyone, I know that many people are against me taking charge."

"Actually, I'm the same as you."

Lin Yi's face was very relaxed, and there was even a hint of a smile.

"In that case, Lord Lin, you should step aside and let us do the work."

The Minister of Revenue spoke slowly, since Huangfu Qingling asked Lin Yi to take charge, he should respectfully address him as Lord Lin.

"But wouldn't that go against His Majesty's will?"

Lin Yi smiled and gave the Minister of Revenue an empty account book.

"My idea is very simple. You should do whatever you need to do, but what you do every day must be recorded in the account book."

As he spoke, he handed out a blank account book to the remaining Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Works. "This is not for me to see, but for Your Majesty to see. I will not interfere with what you do, but you must record everything you do."

Upon hearing this, everyone, including Bao Bu Tong, was stunned.

This... is no different from Lin Yi not existing? Just minding your own business?

"I have only one request, that you record everything truthfully."

Lin Yi reiterated, "Even if I go to the toilet, I have to record it!"

"If you want money to have fun, talk to me privately. I have no shortage of things in this entertainment city."

After saying that, he waved his hand and told everyone to go back and do their own things.

Lin Yi asked Bao Bu Tong to stay.

"What else?"

In the empty room, Bao Bu Tong asked.

"Can you arrange for a few people to secretly monitor these officials?"

Lin Yi asked slowly, "I want to make sure they all record the true situation."

"Lin Yi, although I don't know what they are like in detail, they are definitely clean-handed."

“All the accounts are clear.”

Bao Bu Tong shook his head slightly.

"I'm not afraid that they'll be greedy for money. If they like money, I can give them more, as long as they get the job done!"

Lin Yi is not short of money. An entire entertainment city plus the workshops in Niujia Village are enough for Lin Yi to become a wealthy man.

"I understand. I will send someone."

Bao Bu Tong nodded slightly.

"Okay, from now on I'll check what you do every day, and you can manage the rest yourself."

Lin Yi smiled, then slowly stood up and said, "If there is anything, just report to the barracks."

Having said this, he immediately headed for the military camp.

After all, logistics and food supplies for the army are the big things, and he needs to pay attention to them!

A moment later, Lin Yi arrived at the army and began to communicate with the general in charge of the remaining army.

"Food and fodder are readily available, Lord Lin, don't worry. I have already sent people to communicate with Niujia Village."

The general is a die-hard fan of Lin Yi and a crazy cider lover, so he is very supportive of Lin Yi's ability to manage.

"I know that, but I want to remind you of one thing."

Lin Yi smiled at first, then his face turned serious, "If you want money, you can ask me for it privately, but you absolutely cannot steal a single ounce of silver from the army!"

Hearing this, the young general could no longer laugh.

Corruption in the military has existed since ancient times, and they all learned it from the Ministry of War.

Even though Prince Qing has strict military discipline, there are still many petty thefts.

"Master Lin, you don't understand the military..."

The young general wanted to explain, but was stopped by Lin Yi's words, "How much?"

"This……"

"I'm asking you, how much do you want?"

Lin Yi frowned slightly.

Suddenly the young general didn't know what Lin Yi meant.

"How about this, I'll give you three thousand and two each month."

Lin Yi had just finished speaking when he felt it wasn't loud enough, so he started shouting, "Everyone come here! Everyone in the barracks, gather here now!"

Under the roar, all the soldiers gathered in the training ground to listen to Lin Yi's speech.

Lin Yi took a quick glance and saw that there were only about 800 people left in the army.

"I will give each of you thirty taels a month, and ten taels more for each level up in your rank."

"While Your Majesty and His Royal Highness Prince Qing are away on the expedition, you must not covet a single cent of the money for your army's food and equipment!"

Lin Yi used all his strength to speak, "I can't control what happens after His Majesty and Prince Qing return, but during this period of time, you must not steal anything!"

Who would want to steal when they hear that they can make money legally?

Then Lin Yi added, "If you think the money is too little, we can negotiate a new figure!"

Thirty taels is already a big number!

You have to know that the military salary is only ten taels of silver per month!

They don’t even know that thirty taels is several times more than what they stole!

The entire military camp went crazy immediately.

Thirty taels! One month!

Although they all disliked war, this money... made them think that the war might continue for a while longer or that Lin Yi could manage King Qing's army forever.

Under Lin Yi's "iron bowl" management with money as a bonus.

For three whole months, the military's logistics did not fail at all.

Even if it wasn't for winning, even for the money Lin Yi gave them, they were doing their work wholeheartedly.

On the other hand, Lin Yi allowed officials to manage themselves and only confirmed their situation from the bills, which gave officials a lot of autonomy.

Because they just need to do things and then record them.

Except for Hu Qing who may cause some influence, Lin Yi will hold a meeting on the rooftop of the hotel to discuss. The rest of the time, the officials are very free!

Although the officials would not listen to Lin Yi and secretly not record the information at the beginning, they would gradually improve themselves with the assistance of Bao Yitong.

In this way, the entire Liangzhou City was in good order, and the army was very active in transporting food and supplies and the wounded.

Lin Yi was even able to free up his hands to continue his community plan.

After obtaining another piece of land in the northwest direction of Liangzhou City, the community began to be built slowly.

Lin Yi was busy throughout the entire spring, and there were not many people available, so the construction of the community was somewhat slow.

The mood of war faded with time, and the smooth operation of Liangzhou City made the people almost unaware of the cruelty of war.

Early summer arrived. On this day, Lin Yi was arranging construction and supervising at the construction site, but he saw a large army returning in a black mass from a distance.

Lin Yi knew that the war should be over.

He immediately went to greet him.

After hearing the news, all the officials and Bao Bu Tong also went out of the city to welcome him.

Lin Yi arrived first, but saw a stranger tied up at the front of the army.

Judging from the style of the armor and Lin Yi’s memories of the original owner...it should be the Emperor of Yan!
