Once I enter the pass, great Confucian scholars will surely debate the classics for me.

Faced with the elders' obstruction, Zhou Qingfeng remained calm and unhurried, smiling as he pulled out nine memorials from his sleeve.

To ensure he could gain control of the military, Zhou Qingfeng put in a lot of effort this time, compiling a comprehensive plan.

"Strategic Planning for the Cooperation between Jianta and Fanli", "Risk Assessment Report on the Cooperation between Jianta and Fanli".

"Proposal on Fan Li's Submission" and "Draft Cooperation Agreement between Jianta and Fan Li".

"Jianta's Publicity Strategy for Cooperation with Fan Li", "Jianta's Financial Budget Report on Supporting Fan Li", "Intelligence Analysis Report on Fan Li and His Resistance Army", "Jianta's Diplomatic Strategy for Building Personal Relationships with Fan Li", and "Jianta's Contingency Plan for Dealing with Fan Li's Breach of Contract".

Everyone present was stunned when they saw the nine memorials. Good heavens, it turns out you came prepared.

Zhou Qingfeng distributed the report to the assistant commanders one by one, and said with a smile, "Please watch, assistant commanders, and I will explain it to you orally."

Many assistant commanders: "..."

Zhou Qingfeng coughed twice, glanced at his mother on the throne without showing any emotion, and then said, "Firstly, I plan to divide the support for Fan Li into multiple stages, with clear goals and evaluation criteria set for each stage."

"Only when Fan Li has completed the tasks of the previous stage and demonstrated sufficient loyalty will he be supported in the next stage. This can effectively reduce the risk of investing a large amount of resources at once."

Upon hearing this, the assistant commanders all nodded in agreement, agreeing that there was nothing wrong with it and that it was not something to criticize.

"Secondly, I will send a military supervisor to control Fan Li and plant spies within his ranks to keep abreast of his movements. I will also propose that a woman of marriageable age from within the First Family marry into the family to ensure that the Sword Tower can keep track of Fan Li's every move and prevent him from betraying them."

"Thirdly, a public treaty should be signed. In order to increase its binding force, the part about Fan Li becoming a vassal of Jianta must be made public. A public treaty will be subject to more scrutiny, which will increase the cost of Fan Li's breach of contract."

"Fourth, through propaganda, shape Fan Li's image and try to constantly build momentum for him, making him seen as a new favorite supported by the Sword Tower. Once he betrays the Sword Tower, he will lose moral support and become a traitor despised by everyone."

"Fifth, after Fan Li re-established Yumi City, he also set up a stronghold of the Sword Tower within Yumi City. This not only allows for direct intervention when necessary, but also enhances the Sword Tower's actual control over the local area."

"Sixth, Cai Guozhong's faction can serve as a check and balance, and Ning Cha can be supported. Although Ning Cha is not surnamed Fan, she is also a member of the Fan family and can replace Fan Li at any time. In this way, power can be prevented from being too concentrated in one person's hands. If Fan Li is not prepared to cooperate, then Ning Cha and Cai Guozhong can replace Fan Li at any time."

"Seventh, we will use eight years to gradually weaken Fan Li's independence, so that the power he controls can be integrated into the overall structure of our Sword Tower, thereby achieving true unified governance."

"Eighth, I will strengthen my personal relationship with Fan Li and build a solid friendship with him. This will make Fan Li more willing to abide by the agreement and reduce the possibility of rebellion."

"Ninth, I have listed the annual financial budget report of 2.5 billion in detail. You may take a look at it carefully. If you have any questions, you may raise them at any time. I respectfully request your guidance."

After Zhou Qingfeng finished speaking, the entire council chamber fell silent, with only the sound of pages turning. After all the reports had been read, the assistant commanders looked at each other, speechless. It wasn't that the plan was bad, but rather that it was too comprehensive; it was definitely not something that could be done in a day.

The plan wasn't perfect, but it was certainly comprehensive and detailed, taking all aspects into consideration. If implemented according to this plan, it would completely control Fan Li. Even if Fan Li wanted to be ungrateful, he would be powerless to do so.

"Clap, clap, clap." Applause suddenly rang out in the council chamber. Everyone looked over and saw that the First Lady had sat up straight, smiling and clapping her hands lightly with an approving expression. Although she did not say anything, the three claps had already shown her attitude and provided strong support.

Upon seeing this, Mao Erlang immediately exclaimed, "Brilliant! Fourth Brother is truly exceptionally wise. This plan is so perfect; it is indeed a flawless strategy!"

Ma Dalang said with a smile, "My brother's wisdom and talent are unparalleled in this world!"

Zhu Fushuai: "Zhou Fushuai is an outstanding talent, I admire him greatly."

Tang Fushuai: "Zhou Fushuai is truly a once-in-a-millennium genius, but it is also entirely due to his wife's wisdom, courage, and discerning eye."

Song Fushuai: "Zhou Fushuai's strategies are brilliant, and he can win battles from afar. He is truly the strategist of our Sword Tower!"

Liangyue and Xingyao wanted to find some more faults, not wanting Zhou Qingfeng to steal the spotlight.

However, the assistant commander who shot down the sun calmly stopped the two of them, gently shaking his head to signal them to stop talking.

Although their positions differ, liking is liking, and appreciating is appreciating. People have preferences and tendencies, and their actions are inevitably biased. If it were Ma Erlang or Ma Dalang, they would definitely make things difficult for him and make things difficult for him to the end. But Zhou Qingfeng is different.

This child is indeed likable, respectful of elders, well-behaved, and possesses exceptional talent.

Even if the three elders of the Sun, Moon, and Star have different stances, as long as they do not infringe upon the interests of the three collateral branches of the First Family, they will more or less show mercy and stop when they have made a move. They will not really kill them. After all, you can't hit someone who is smiling, let alone such a sensible junior.

The First Lady stood up with her hands behind her back and said, "Since you have such a brilliant plan, then this matter is entirely entrusted to you. Whoever agrees or disagrees, so be it."

Ma Dalang was the first to jump out in support: "I agree."

Mao Erlang followed closely behind, clasped his hands in a salute, and said, "Mother is wise. I am the only one who can take charge of this matter."

The three assistant commanders, Tang, Song, and Zhu, clasped their hands in a salute and said, "We agree."

The three elders of the Sun, Moon, and Stars looked at Zhou Qingfeng with complicated expressions. They were pleased that such a talented person as Zhou Qingfeng had emerged from within the Sword Tower, giving them hope for the Sword Tower to rise again and become great again. However, they were also worried that the interests of the elders would be gradually eroded by the younger generation.

The three of them had incredibly mixed feelings.

In factional struggles, if the younger generation benefits, the three elders of the Sun, Moon, and Stars will never agree, because their agreement would be a betrayal of their own class and camp. However, they can remain silent, and silence is the greatest concession and convenience they can make.

At this moment, Zhou Qingfeng took his first step in taking control of the military.

At this moment, Zhou Qingfeng was full of vigor, and all the heroes bowed their heads.

At this moment, numerous powerful figures willingly served as supporting characters, cheering him on and racking their brains to offer the most praise.

Zhou Qingfeng stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the assistant commanders around him who were nodding in affirmation and praise. When his gaze fell on his master, Qiu Chengde, his master smiled slightly and secretly gave him a thumbs up, giving his disciple the greatest encouragement and affirmation.

The First Lady, with her hands behind her back, slowly walked out of the council chamber: "Since no one objects, then you, Si Lang, can handle it as you see fit. Everyone else, please cooperate fully."

Zhou Qingfeng faced the First Lady's back, bowed and clasped his hands in a salute: "Yes, I will obey Mother's command."
