The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Then he said to Aunt Hua,

"Send a message to the Divine Capital. If anyone from the Jia Mansion dares to mention Yu'er's marriage again, give their precious courage to this Peak Master..."

He paused for a moment, and suddenly a thought flashed through Qingfeng Li's mind, and his eyes narrowed.

"Let Xiaolong take good care of that precious egg!"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Hua looked at Qingfeng Li with a strange expression.

Li Qingfeng laughed and continued to make arrangements.

"Xiaolong has done an excellent job in dealing with Jia Rong and his son, as well as Jia She. He should use the tentacles of the Rong and Ning mansions to fully develop the power of Qingfeng Village in Shenjing."

"If there is better news within a month, this Peak Master will reward Tang Xiaolong with 540 swords!"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Hua was also happy for Tang Xiaolong.

"I obey my orders!"

"Ok!"

Qingfeng Li nodded slightly and asked again,

"Are the halls still urging us to fight?"

Aunt Hua said with some difficulty,

"Yes, Master Bee. Please don't blame me. It's mainly because after the first battle in Loushan Hall, the people below were all eager to serve Master Bee. Their fighting spirit was high, and even the several hall masters could hardly contain themselves."

Qingfeng Li spat in disdain.

"Bah! Aren't they all burnt out?"

Then he thought about it, picked up the information on the table and read it again. After thinking for a moment,

Then he said to Xiao Ai, a classmate beside him,

"Tang Xiaolong speculates that there has been a major change in the imperial court. He believes that we need to fight quickly and capture Nanjing as soon as possible to avoid being put on the defensive."

"Xiao Ai, what do you think?"

Xiao Ai answered without any emotion,

"Yangzhou has become a place of great concern to Daqian. Combined with our intelligence, a large number of imperial troops are indeed gathering there."

"Although Yangzhou is Qingfeng Village's base, it has no strategic location to defend. To ensure absolute safety, we recommend completing the first phase of the strategic objectives as soon as possible and breaking free from the imperial court's encirclement!"

Qingfeng Li thought for a moment and nodded slightly, then looked at Aunt Hua and asked,

"What do you think?"

Aunt Hua showed some concern, bowed and clasped her fists,

"I agree!"

"it is good!"

Qingfeng Li clapped his hands and then said loudly to Xiao Ai,

"Xiao Ai, pass on the order of this Peak Master!"

"All ammunition in the village will be taken out of the warehouse and distributed to each hall according to the established proportions."

"At the same time, immediately inform all halls that upon receiving the order, all troops will attack according to the original plan!"

"By tomorrow evening at the latest, this peak leader will receive news on the battle situation from all the halls!"

Xiao Ai answered without any emotion,

"alright, got it!"

Aunt Hua was shocked when she heard this and hesitated.

"Master Bee, isn't there still two days until the final attack?"

"This sudden order will probably cause the various halls to be in a state of panic..."

Qingfeng Li waved his hand.

"It's right to come suddenly! Although the order from this peak master was hasty and the brothers didn't expect it, the people in the court didn't expect it either."

Then he hummed softly,

"Everyone was howling when they weren't allowed to fight, but now that they're going to fight, what else do they need to prepare for?"

"Pass the order down! If that gang member causes trouble for me, at the next meeting, I will award every member above the rank of captain with a green scarf!"

Aunt Hua's face twitched. It was such a harsh punishment.

It was obvious that Qingfeng Li's expression was determined, and he could only bow and accept the order helplessly.

"Yes, Lord Bee! I understand!"

Then Xiao Ai and Aunt Hua left the house together to convey Li Qingfeng's order.

When Qingfeng Li was the only one left in the room, he thought for a moment and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Next, let Daqian experience a crushing victory across the ages!"

At this moment, a soft and joyful voice came in.

"Husband, have you rested?"

Qingfeng Li came back to his senses and looked up at the pretty girl standing outside the door.

There was also a smile on his face.

"It's Ruyi, come in!"

Wang Ruyi held a stack of books in her arms and walked up to Qingfeng Li, smiling sweetly.

"Husband!"

Li Qingfeng asked doubtfully,

"Ruyi, is there something wrong with you? And you..."

As he spoke, he pointed to the booklet in Wang Ruyi's arms.

Wang Ruyi smiled and placed the booklet in front of Qingfeng Li, her eyes filled with joy as she said,

"Husband, the preliminary total population statistics for various places in Yangzhou have been calculated!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Qingfeng Li immediately perked up, quickly sitting up straight, his expression lit with joy.

"Really? That would be great!"

Then Qingfeng Li hurriedly opened the booklet in front of him and started to check.

Since he started his business, apart from war, Li Qingfeng's biggest concern has been issues related to population.

Watching Qingfeng Li flipping through the pages, Wang Ruyi walked directly behind Qingfeng Li, stretched out her small hands and gently massaged his shoulders, saying,

"After the various localities diligently counted the population over the past few days, as of yesterday, the number of registered civilians under Qingfeng Village has reached over 2.349 million."

Even though he had expected this, Qingfeng Li couldn't help but be shocked when he heard such a huge number of people.

He turned around in astonishment and looked at Wang Ruyi behind him.

"Good guy, so many?!"

Wang Ruyi smiled sweetly and nodded.

"This is all thanks to my husband's Qingfeng Jiutiao! My husband is really amazing. Those wealthy families have quite a few people at home!"

"Based on the current situation, I estimate that after a thorough investigation, we should be able to find another 300,000 to 500,000 people."

Looking at the tired look in Wang Ruyi's eyes and the happy and serious expression on her pretty face, Li Qingfeng felt touched and a little apologetic.

In recent days, because he was concerned about the logistics of the war, he handed over almost all the daily government affairs under the jurisdiction of Qingfeng Village to Wang Ruyi.

Although I know that Wang Ruyi may have some ulterior motives, the tediousness and fatigue of ensuring the normal operation of the government affairs of seven or eight states and counties can be imagined.

Looking at Wang Ruyi, whose beautiful eyes were still a little bloodshot and whose sweet smile was on her face,

Qingfeng Li couldn't help but feel distressed and put down the book.

He reached out and pulled Wang Ruyi directly into his arms.

Amidst Wang Ruyi's exclamation, he put her on his lap and pinched her delicate face.

"What a silly girl!"
