When the father and daughter heard the sound, they subconsciously turned around and looked towards the palace door.
I saw Ren Qingrui carrying a small bamboo basket filled with various fruits and looking at his father and daughter with somewhat surprised expressions.
"Ruier."
"Aunt Qingrui."
Ren Qingrui suddenly smiled when she heard the responses from Liu Mingzhi and Xiao Keai.
Immediately, she held the small bamboo basket in one hand and the hem of her long skirt with the other hand, and walked straight to the father and daughter to greet them with a smile on her face.
"Da Guoguo, Yue'er, when did you two, father and daughter, come back?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the beauty who was walking straight towards him with a smile like a flower. He waved his sleeves with a smile and fanned the light smoke lingering in front of him.
"Hehehe, it's been a long time since I came back. Brother, Yue'er and I were talking just now, girl, where have you been!"
The little cutie looked at Ren Qingrui who was coming, and immediately let go of the soft pillow in her arms.
Then, she didn't have time to get out of bed and put on her leather boots, so she had no choice but to salute Ren Qingrui directly on the bed.
"Aunt Qingrui, Yue'er is polite."
Ren Qingrui walked gently to the side of her sweetheart, and waved her hand to the little cutie with a smile on her face.
"Yue'er, there's no need to be too polite. I'm going to stop being polite."
"Hey, thank you Aunt Qingrui."
Ren Qingrui smiled brightly and watched as the father and daughter held small bamboo baskets filled with several kinds of fruits in their hands and brought them directly to Young Master Liu to signal.
"Daguoguo, Yue'er, I rushed to the main hall to get the fruit.
Sister, after I finished dinner at Sister Yun's place, I just returned to the temple and lit a few candles. I didn't have time to sit down and rest.
Immediately afterwards, uncle Zhang Kuang sent someone to inform my sister and asked me to go to the main hall to personally select the fruits I like to eat.
So, sister, I immediately rushed to the main hall.
Now, look, Daguoguo, sister, most of the fruits I picked are the ones you like to eat more."
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and nodded, briefly scanning the various fruits in the small bamboo basket.
"Rui'er, how did you get so much fruit back? Can we eat it all just between the two of us?"
Upon hearing her sweetheart's inquiry, Ren Qingrui immediately explained: "Daguoguo, it's like this, sister, I only took about half of the fruits when I first started.
However, the two uncles said that the back hall where we live is relatively shady and it would be good to bring some more back.
My sister, I didn’t even have time to say no, and they forcefully stuffed a lot of fruit into the basket.
I had no choice but to bring him back."
"I see, stop carrying it all the time, put the fruit on the table quickly and thank you for taking it."
"Yeah, yeah, sister, I understand."
Ren Qingrui responded with a faint smile, then immediately turned around and walked towards the table next to her.
As soon as she put the small bamboo basket in her hand on the table, she immediately turned back to look at her sweetheart who was gently smoking a dry cigarette.
"By the way, Daguoguo, what fruits do you and Yue'er want to eat? My sister will clean some for you right away."
"It's okay for you, brother, just wash it as you like."
"The same goes for Yue'er, I have a lot to do with my aunt."
"Hey, just wait a moment, it will be fine soon."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Ren Qingrui, who was walking to the bucket to wash the fruit, silently took a puff of dry smoke, and turned to look at the little cutie who was already half-lying down on the bed.
"Yue'er."
The little cutie who was looking at Ren Qingrui's back with a smile heard the sound and quickly raised his head and turned his attention to Young Master Liu.
"Hey, Dad?"
"Yue'er, given our current situation in Dalong, what kind of method should we use to deal with Da Shi? The situation between Tianzhu and Tianzhu is the safest?"
After hearing this question from her father, the little cutie looked slightly startled, and subconsciously looked sideways at Ren Qingrui, who was washing fruits not far away.
Young Master Liu saw the little cutie's reaction, turned around and glanced at the beauty behind him, chuckled disapprovingly and waved his hand.
"Girl, your Aunt Qingrui is not an outsider. You can answer whatever you want and how you want to answer. There is nothing to avoid."
Hearing this, the little cutie hurriedly withdrew her gaze, and immediately looked at Young Master Liu with a look of embarrassment and rolled her eyes.
"Smelly daddy, what did you say?
My dear, when did I avoid Aunt Qingrui? I was thinking about how to answer your question, okay?"
"Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing as a father, so have you figured out how to answer the question as a father?"
The little cutie glanced at Young Master Liu and nodded with a slightly hesitant expression.
"So, I've figured it out."
Hearing the cutie's answer, Liu Mingzhi nodded happily.
"Hahaha, if that's the case, then tell me what you think about it."
As soon as Young Master Liu finished speaking, Ren Qingrui came over carrying a small tray with a few apples and two bunches of grapes.
"Daguoguo, Yue'er, I don't know what fruit you two want to eat.
So I washed a few apples and two bunches of grapes at random, and you two, father and daughter, come and taste them."
Liu Mingzhi turned to look at the small tray in Ren Qingrui's hand, and pointed to the low table next to the bed with a faint smile.
"Rui'er, just put the tray on the low table. Yue'er, you two can eat first. I'll finish smoking this pot of dry tobacco for my brother's sake."
"Yeah, sister, I understand."
After Ren Qingrui put down the tray in her hand, she looked towards the cutie with a slight smile.
"Yue'er, do you want to eat apples or grapes?"
"Aunt, grapes, Yue'er eat grapes."
"Okay, continue."
"Hehehe, thank you Aunt Qingrui."
The little cutie thanked her and took the grapes from Ren Qingruiyu's hand, moved her buttocks and sat on the edge of the bed, grabbed two or three grapes and stuffed them into her little cherry mouth.
"Mmmmm, it's sour and sweet, delicious, delicious."
Ren Qingrui picked up an apple and looked sideways at Liu Mingzhi: "Da Guoguo, why don't you and Yue'er chat first while I go outside the palace to enjoy the moonlight today.
I will come back after you and your daughter have finished talking."
Upon hearing the beauty's inquiry, Liu Mingzhi immediately spit out the light smoke in his mouth, looked at the beauty and waved it off with a slight smile.
"No, Rui'er, just sit down and rest."
"Yeah, sister, I understand."
Ren Qingrui nodded her head a few times with a smile, took two steps forward with a slight smile, and sat down gracefully on the chair beside the bed before the little cutie.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Ren Qingrui, who was eating an apple in small sips after sitting down, then turned to look at the cutie who was stuffing grapes into his mouth like a little hamster, and immediately rolled his eyes angrily.
"Smelly girl, can you stop just eating?
While you are eating the grapes, shouldn't you also answer my father's previous question?"
Hearing her father's angry tone, the little cutie quickly swallowed the grapes in her mouth and raised her eyes to look at Young Master Liu.
“Dad, given our current situation in Dalong, if we want to handle the affairs between Dashi and Tianzhu,
The safest and most appropriate way is to stabilize first and then stabilize, and use the barbarians to control the barbarians."
When Liu Mingzhi heard the answer given by the little cutie, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Immediately, he raised his brows and silently took a puff of dry smoke.
"Stabilize first and then stabilize, use barbarians to control barbarians?"
The little cutie stretched out her slender waist and placed the grape skins in her hand on the corner of the tray, then looked sideways at her father and nodded with a smile.
"Yes, that's exactly it."
"Stability first, stability later, using barbarians to control barbarians, how do you say that?"
The little cutie ate two more grapes while her father was talking, and then let out a long breath with her mouth slightly open.
"Back to dad, it means to first stabilize the thoughts of some big figures in the imperial courts of the Dashi Kingdom and Tianzhu Kingdom. They have completely stabilized them by using certain methods or promising certain benefits, and they still want to restore themselves.
The thoughts of the imperial court.
After we have completely stabilized the thoughts of the people in the two imperial courts who want restoration, we will carefully select from these people some officials who are sincerely close to our Dalong Celestial Dynasty.
Regardless of the size of the official position or the level of status, as long as you are sincerely close to our Dalong, it will be fine.
Then, dad, you will reuse these carefully selected officials to help our Dalong govern the people of Dashi and Tianzhu."
After hearing the little cutie's answer, Young Master Liu frowned involuntarily.
"Yue'er, what you think is a little too natural.
Do you think the big and small officials from the Dashi Kingdom and the Tianzhu Kingdom will really help our Dalong sincerely?"
The little cutie immediately swallowed the grapes in her mouth and pouted her lips angrily.
"Oh, stinky daddy, why are you so anxious? I haven't finished talking about Yue'er yet!"
Liu Mingzhi looked slightly startled, then quickly waved his hand after he realized what he was doing.
"Okay, okay, keep talking, keep talking."
The little cutie stretched out her slender jade legs and got off the bed. She put on her cowhide boots with the grapes in her hand, switching from her left hand to her right hand, and then started to pace gently beside Young Master Liu.
"Dad, before we reuse those carefully selected officials from Dashi and Tianzhu, we still need to make some preparations in advance.
First of all, you need to transfer a group of young and strong officials from our Dalong side who can withstand long journeys.
Then, this group of officials was divided into two, and one part served as local chief officials in several important places in the Western Regions near Congling and Dashi Kingdom.
As for the remaining officials, they were scattered to the territories of Dashi and Tianzhu, and served as chief officials of some important cities and important pass positions in the two countries.
Dad, after you transferred some young officials to serve as chief officials in the countries of the Western Regions, naturally some officials in the countries of the Western Regions were vacated.
At this time, Dad, all you need to do is transfer the vacant officials to Dashi and Tianzhu in batches to serve as chief officials.
After that, Dad, you can plan the layout according to the location of the cities in the two countries, and select the best ones who are sincerely close to our Dalong Celestial Dynasty. The officials of the two countries, big and small, will serve as the chief officials of the cities in each place.
Finally, let the officials from our Great Dragon Celestial Dynasty, those officials transferred from the countries in the Western Regions, and those officials selected from the two countries of Dashi,
Officials, big and small, from these three parties are each other's horns, supervise each other, and compete with each other.
As long as whoever can govern the people under his jurisdiction better, he will be rewarded directly. Depending on his political performance, he will either be rewarded with money or promoted to an official position.
How to give rewards specifically depends on how you, dad, formulate a reward and punishment system.
Of course, before proceeding with this, there is an extremely important premise that needs to be noted.
Daddy, please listen carefully, this is an extremely important prerequisite."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the little cutie's solemn expression, took a long puff of dry tobacco, and then leaned over the bottom of his feet to knock out the few shreds of tobacco and most of the ashes left in the pot.
"Oh? What an important premise."
The little cutie paused for a moment, grabbed the Iko grapes, threw them into his mouth and started eating.
"Back to dad, this very important premise is that you can give those big and small officials in Dashi and Tianzhu the greatest rights as the chief officials of the same land.
However, they must not be given the right to mobilize troops.
The right to mobilize troops and horses on our own must be in the hands of our Dalong Western Expedition generals.
However, in order to ensure the great food and the rights that the local officials in the two countries of Tianzhu should have, you still need to issue a strict order to the generals of our Dalong Western Expedition Army.
That is, on the premise of not harming our Dalong's own interests, those generals must unconditionally cooperate with the officials from Dashi and Tianzhu to mobilize troops and intercede.
For example, if you need to quell rebellions under your respective jurisdictions, or to exterminate bandits and bandits within your own jurisdiction, you must cooperate unconditionally.
Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be severely punished.
In order to ensure a great food supply, the local officials in the two countries of Tianzhu can easily exercise their due official powers.
Dad, you should give them the right to report and expose the generals of our Dalong Dynasty anytime and anywhere when they know that they have done something that violates our Dalong laws."
Liu Mingzhi rolled up the tobacco bag in his hand and placed it on the low table in front of him, then picked up an apple from the tray, raised it and turned it gently before his eyes.
"Yue'er, you mean to give them the right to report and expose our Dalong generals anytime and anywhere?"
"Yeah, yeah, that's exactly it!"
"Hahaha, in your opinion, who do you think they should report to?"
Listening to her father's questioning words, the little cutie lowered her head and spat out the grape skins in her mouth, then looked at Young Master Liu with a frown.
"Back to dad, Yue'er's idea is to set up a protective palace between the Dashi Kingdom and the Tianzhu Kingdom.
The chief officials of the Protectorate are directly under the orders of you, father, the current emperor.
On the one hand, they are responsible for maintaining peace and stability in Dashi and Tianzhu, and on the other hand, they are responsible for supervising all officials in the two countries."
After listening to the cutie's answer, Liu Mingzhi took a bite of the apple in his hand, then turned around and looked at the cutie.
