After traveling through time, I was raised by a little brat

During those days of anxiously awaiting Tang Zideng's arrival, Tang Qi decided to return to Liu County. After all, there were still many daily matters he needed to personally arrange and handle. After a busy journey, he methodically assigned each matter to his trusted subordinates, ensuring that each task was properly executed. Once everything was arranged, Tang Qi rushed to Yangzhou without stopping. However, this wait lasted two full days before Tang Zideng finally arrived.

However, looking at Tang Zideng and his innocent and lovely sister Tang Wenshu, Tang Qi couldn't help but fall into deep thought: How could the three of them, siblings alone, manage such a large and important Yingtian Prefecture? This question weighed on his heart like a heavy mountain.

In contrast, Tang Wenshu seemed far more carefree. As long as her two brothers were by her side, they would hold her up even if the sky fell, and she didn't need to worry too much. So, while waiting for Tang Zideng, Tang Qi accompanied Tang Wenshu to the Zhenyi Pavilion to say goodbye to their good friend Dai Qiuhua.

As soon as she stepped through the antique, carved-beam, and painted-roof gate of the Zhenyi Pavilion, Tang Wenshu, like a cheerful little bird, couldn't wait to dash towards Dai Qiuhua. She took two steps at a time and, in the blink of an eye, she was in front of Dai Qiuhua. She grasped her fair, delicate hand, her face full of intimacy as she said in a sweet voice, "Sister Qiuhua, I miss you so much! I wonder when I'll see you again! Sigh... It's such a shame. The princess has been so busy with all those tedious official duties lately that I haven't even had the chance to see her once."

Meanwhile, Tang Qi sat quietly in a spacious, brightly lit hall nearby. His eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze as gentle as water as he silently gazed at the heartwarming and joyful conversation between his sister and her best friend. Sunlight streamed through the carved window lattices, casting a dappled shadow on him. At that moment, he felt as if he were immersed in a tranquil and beautiful painting, completely shut out from the surrounding clamor.

Yet, amidst this tranquil and peaceful atmosphere, a sudden thought flashed through Tang Qi's mind like lightning—so this gentle and charming Dai Qiuhua was actually the renowned Deputy Envoy of Pacification! Furthermore, the princess also held the title of Pacification Envoy. This thought stirred Tang Qi's heart. If one were to set aside their respective noble statuses for the moment and simply consider their personal abilities and moral character, then there was no doubt that both Dai Qiuhua and the princess were the perfect choices to manage the affairs of Yingtian Prefecture.

You have to know that while the Yingtian Prefecture Governor was also a high-ranking official, his status and power were far inferior to those of the Pacification Envoy. Let alone other ordinary positions, as long as they were willing to take up the position, no one would dare to criticize them. Yingtian Prefecture was currently in urgent need of talent to fill many vacancies, so they could completely let them choose any one of them according to their own preferences.

Thinking of this, Tang Qi took a decisive step forward without hesitation, then respectfully bowed deeply to Dai Qiuhua. This sudden move truly surprised Dai Qiuhua. Remember, back in the Imperial City, Tang Qi had generously offered his own residence to accommodate the Huimin Navy. Given their deep friendship, if his request wasn't exceptionally difficult, daunting, or insurmountable, Dai Qiuhua would have felt a bit embarrassed to refuse outright.

Tang Qi smiled and said slowly, "Master Dai, I assume you are aware of the current situation in Yingtian Prefecture. His Majesty has issued a special decree ordering my father to concurrently serve as prefect of both prefectures..." Tang Qi then methodically explained the situation to Dai Qiuhua in detail. Despite her official title as Deputy Envoy of the Pacification Commissioner, Dai Qiuhua didn't actually have many specific matters to attend to. Deep down, she longed to gain the necessary experience in government, thereby creating greater opportunities for the development of the Huimin Navy.

"There is no problem on my side, but the princess has been very busy lately! She has been worrying about the placement of the Huimin Navy in Yangzhou City. Now the number of people who come to sign up to join is increasing day by day." Dai Qiuhua said with a worried look on her face.

Upon hearing this, Tang Qi frowned slightly and asked, "Is there a problem with the accommodation, or is it difficult to find a place to train the soldiers?" After all, having experienced many things, he knew very well that the soldiers needed to train diligently every day to maintain good combat effectiveness.

Dai Qiuhua sighed softly and replied, "We've already sorted out the housing issue and purchased it. But the most challenging issue is the training ground." She paused briefly before continuing, "Actually, we've always intended to ask Lord Tang Jilian for a suitable piece of land, but we've already received his compassion and care many times before, and Princess Fuhui is too embarrassed to ask for help again."

After hearing this, Tang Qi fell into deep thought for a moment, then slowly said, "In my opinion, we might as well set aside an area on the coast outside Yangzhou for military training. What do you think? This way, it will not only facilitate the Huimin Navy's underwater training, but also fully utilize the geographical advantages."

Dai Qiuhua's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly in agreement: "This is a great idea! If we can really arrange it this way, it will really solve our urgent needs."

Tang Qi smiled slightly and continued, "Furthermore, I believe that the Huimin Navy has many outstanding talents. They can definitely come to Yingtian Prefecture to gain some experience. This will not only broaden their horizons and improve their abilities, but also help strengthen the exchanges and cooperation between the Huimin Navy and Yingtian Prefecture. What do you think?"

"Well, I really can't make a decision right away. I need to go down and ask their thoughts and opinions first." There are many women in the Huimin Navy camp, especially those who were once captured by Japanese pirates. After all, after such tragic experiences, deep down they may not be willing to enter the officialdom and deal with men.

Hearing this, Tang Wenshu's eyes lit up, and she quickly said obediently: "That's great! Thank you, Sister Qiuhua, for taking so much trouble to help." She knew very well that the gentle, kind and helpful Sister Qiuhua would definitely not refuse her request, and the kind and amiable Princess Sister would also definitely give her support.

Dai Qiuhua smiled and reached out her hand, gently patting Tang Wenshu's little head, and softly admonished, "In that case, our little master must work harder and find a way to properly accommodate all of us."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wenshu immediately straightened up, solemnly performed a standard etiquette to everyone, and responded loudly: "Please rest assured! I promise to complete this important task successfully!" Her serious and lovely look immediately caused everyone present to burst into laughter, and the haze that had originally shrouded her heart due to heavy pressure seemed to dissipate a lot at this moment.
