"Haha, you don't understand some of the situation. After you captured these small principalities, not only did you not do any bad things to the local people, you also helped them clean up a large number of nobles who oppressed them. They are all grateful to you. And.
Originally there were quite a few capable officials here. They were all officials of a principality before. Of course, I am very grateful to you for being able to continue to use them regardless of past suspicions. At that time, you proposed that character should be the basis and that regardless of past suspicions, we should be the first.
That’s why they are so popular.” Nangong Ying said with a smile, “And I also discovered three very capable people during this period.”
"Oh," Nangong Aotian asked quickly, "What kind of very capable person?"
"Two of the three of them are very good at managing money and food, and one has a very good understanding of the administrative system." Nangong Ying said with a smile, "In the past, they were all squeezed out by the big nobles. Although they had some abilities, they could not
Get the chance to use your talents.”
"Oh, I would like to meet these three people." Nangong Aotian said with great interest.
"It's easy. They are all responsible for some very important things in Shenglong City now." Nangong Ying said with a smile, "I will send someone to inform them now. If you want to chat for a while, they can come over."
"That would be great." Nangong Aotian said happily. Nangong Aotian knows that talent is always the most important at any time.
"It's just that there are still too few people in our Holy Dragon City." Nangong Ying thought for a while and said, "Such a big city will not be easy to develop if there are too few people living there."
"No need to worry about this." Nangong Aotian thought for a while and said, "We can formulate a series of preferential measures to encourage people from various principalities to come here to develop."
"Well, I will send someone to think about this issue carefully." Nangong Ying thought for a while and said.
"Grandpa, there is one more thing." Nangong Aotian thought for a moment and said, "We need to build a few more granaries to prepare for the future. There is likely to be a war in the Chinese Empire in two years, and we must do something now
It’s better to be fully prepared so as not to be overwhelmed when the time comes.”
"I really have this plan. I plan to build the granary in the mountains. The location has been found for absolute safety and insurance." Nangong Ying said with a smile, "It's not very far from the Holy Dragon City."
"That's good." Nangong Aotian said reassuringly.
While he was talking, the three people Nangong Lie mentioned arrived.
After chatting with these three people for an hour, Nangong Aotian was quite satisfied with these three people. Some of their thoughts and insights were very mature and very practical. Of course, some of Nangong Aotian's thoughts and insights made these three people even more satisfied.
Personally, I admire you very much.
After finishing these tasks, Nangong Aotian returned to the Marquis Mansion in the imperial capital.
"Young Master, the Second Prince is here." Nangong Aochai walked out of the study, and a warrior guarding the teleportation array came over and said.
"Okay, I understand." Nangong Aotian said and walked towards the living room.
Of course, Nangong Aotian's family members did not come out. They did not want others to know that they were all in the Marquis' Mansion. At this time, it was Yu Lingshuang who received the second prince.
"Oops! I didn't know His Highness the Second Prince was here, so I was a little bit indifferent." Nangong Aochai walked into the living room and gave the Second Prince a fist.
"Haha, it's nothing, I'm just a little presumptuous." The second prince said with a smile when Nangong Aotian came back.
"I don't know that His Highness the Second Prince is here. I just happened to go out to do some errands. I hope His Highness can forgive me for my neglect?" Nangong Aotian bowed to the Second Prince and sat next to Yu Lingshuang and said.
"It's okay, it's okay. I came here a little presumptuously." The second prince waved his hand casually and said.
But at this time, Yu Lingshuang stood up, bowed to the second prince, and then walked towards the back hall.
"In the past, I only heard that you had some dealings with the daughter of the Dongfang family. When I arrived today, I found out that there was such a fairy-like person in the Marquis Mansion." The second prince smiled when he saw Yu Lingshuang's back disappearing.
He said to Nangong Aotian, with a bit of envy in his eyes.
"Haha, this is also my unmarried wife." Nangong Aotian smiled and said, "My name is Yu Lingshuang."
"Marquis Nangong is so handsome and blessed." The second prince glanced at Nangong Aotian ambiguously and said, "But it makes sense. Since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty."
"Your Highness is joking, how can I be called a hero?" Nangong Aotian quickly shook his hand and said, "I am just an ordinary person in the Chinese Empire."
"Marquis Nangong's words are very modest. If our Chinese Empire were all ordinary people like you, the national strength of our Chinese Empire would be much stronger than that of the Lion Empire." The second prince said with a smile.
"I wonder if His Highness has something to do here today?" Nangong Aotian asked.
"There's nothing else to do." The second prince smiled and said, "I saw Marquis Nangong defeat three young masters from the Lane Empire yesterday and earned honor for our empire, so I came here to congratulate him today."
"Haha, these are what I should do as a citizen of the Chinese Empire." Nangong Aotian said with a smile.
"I saw you busy with your family affairs some time ago, so I didn't bother you." The second prince said, "I wonder if you are finished with your family affairs now?"
"Oh, we are all done." Nangong Aotian said with a smile.
"So, I wonder what Marquis Nangong thinks about what I told you a while ago?" The second prince smiled and continued.
"What did you say last time?" Nangong Aotian looked at the second prince pretending to be confused.
"Haha, I just hope that your Nangong family and I will develop together." The second prince said with a nonchalant smile.
"To tell you the truth, Your Highness." Nangong Aotian said with some embarrassment, "Of course I hope to get your help and support. But I don't have much ideals and ambitions. Besides, I can't be the head of my Nangong family. But
As long as it does not violate my principles, if His Highness the Second Prince needs a place for me to stay busy, I will do my best."
"Oh, I don't know what your principles are." The second prince looked at Nangong Aotian and said seriously.
"It's nothing special, as long as you don't let me sit through things that will disgrace my family and friends." Nangong Aotian said directly.
"Haha, it seems that you still have a very unusual relationship with my third brother?" The second prince frowned and said.
"It's not that the relationship is unusual, but he is indeed my friend. After all, he helped me when I first arrived in the imperial capital. And we have a good relationship in the academy." Nangong Aotian said with a smile, "You also
You don’t want me to be an ungrateful person, do you?”
"Haha, then can Marquis Nangong treat me as a friend?" The second prince looked at Nangong Aotian with a smile on his face and said.
"Your Highness is the second prince of the Chinese Empire, and I am still young. I have not known the second prince for a long time, but I dare not rush into friendship with the second prince." Nangong Aotian said with a smile, "But if your highness the second prince really
If you think highly of me, of course I will be very honored."
"Okay, haha, I also like people who are outspoken. If you encounter anything in the imperial capital in the future, just come to me." After the second prince said that, he stood up, "I still have some things to do, so I won't bother you today.
"
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince is busy with affairs, so I will not retain you." Nangong Aotian stood up quickly and said.
"Haha, okay, you don't have to be polite from all of us in the future. You can treat me as the same as my third brother." The second prince said with a smile.
"Yes, yes." Nangong Aotian nodded quickly and said.
The second prince said nothing more and walked out of the living room.
"Aotian, what does His Highness the Second Prince want from you?" When Nangong Aotian returned to the living room, Nangong Haoran was already sitting in the living room.
"It's nothing more than asking me to cooperate with him to gain a bargaining chip for him to fight for the throne in the future." Nangong Aotian sat down and took a sip of tea and said.
"Well, but now you have just established a foothold in the imperial capital, you are not suitable for a head-on conflict with a prince like them." Nangong Aotian thought for a while and said.
"I know." Nangong Aotian nodded and said, "So I didn't answer him directly."
"I'm relieved now." Nangong Haoran said with a smile, "Although you have achieved a lot now, you are still young after all. Don't rush into certain things."
"Yes." Nangong Aotian nodded quickly in agreement.
