If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

For a long time afterwards, Chu Zeming felt both pain and joy for the promise he made in the main hall of the north courtyard of Liu's mansion that afternoon. As the "most idle" one among the three, he naturally became the most exploited one and was threatened for many years to replace Meixiang in charge of Liuzhou Mansion.

Although Meixiang has read a lot of books and even collected a lot of ancient books, and has been taught by various masters since she was a child, because most of her talents are in medicine, she only has a superficial understanding of national governance and has no practical concept. This is one of the reasons why she has been entangled.

"If I accept the Liuzhou Prefecture, how much power will I have? What kind of relationship will I have with the court?" Meixiang asked the question in her mind.

Situ Yidong and the other two looked at each other. The beautiful woman and others were not very clear about the details. "Xiang'er, you might as well ask Wang Nei Shi. If you are still unclear or unsure, write to your father. There must be no mistakes in this matter."

Eunuch Wang was soon invited over by Nanny Wang who was guarding outside the door. After hearing their questions clearly, he smiled and replied, "Haha, we really thought the same thing. Even if you didn't ask, I would have told Madam and Miss everything I know in the evening." He looked around the people in the room and then at Madam Mei, who had no strange expression on her face. He then had an idea of ​​the importance of Situ Yidong and the other two.

"Because Haoyue was founded only 20 years ago, there are still occasional frictions on the border, and the people's livelihood is in a state of disrepair. Before leaving, the Emperor and His Majesty told the Princess to hand over the 100,000 people in Liuzhou Prefecture. As for the others, they just need to contribute when Haoyue needs them."

"Ah," everyone in the room was stunned. Liuzhou Prefecture was located in a remote area and it was no exaggeration to say that it was the border of Haoyue. Across the continuous mountain range behind Liujia Village was the location of the Jieyi tribe, but there was no record of anyone successfully crossing this mountain range. Two-thirds of this mountain range was under the jurisdiction of Liuzhou Prefecture, and the rest was in Xuanzhou Prefecture.

The Jieyi tribe is a relatively closed ethnic group. Like Liuzhou Prefecture, it has its back to the mountain range and the other three sides are swamps covered by miasma for three quarters of the year.

Liuzhou Prefecture is a medium-sized prefecture among the thirteen prefectures of Haoyue, with about 30,000 households and a total population of about 100,000. Most people make a living by digging herbs, chopping wood, and hunting. Because it is located in a remote area and is not an important transportation hub in Haoyue, the overall economic level is very poor, and most people are in a state of half-food and half-clothed. This is the main reason why people in other villages are so jealous of Liujia Village.

According to Haoyue's current conscription system which maintains the standing army in wartime at generally no more than 10% of the total population and no more than 7% on a daily basis, Liuzhou Prefecture now has about 7,000 soldiers, all managed by a commander.

Liuzhou Prefecture is useless to Haoyue now, which is why there was not much opposition when the current emperor issued this imperial edict. Officials in the court generally believed that giving it to Meixiang would actually reduce the pressure on the national treasury.

"Eunuch Wang, does the imperial edict mean that I have the final say in all matters in Liuzhou Prefecture from now on? I only need to help Haoyue when he needs me?"

"The princess is right. That's what the emperor and His Majesty meant." Eunuch Wang nodded with a smile, and then added, "The emperor said that the 100,000 people in Liuzhou Prefecture and the rear line of Haoyue will be entrusted to the princess from now on."

Meixiang curled her lips and felt that she was destined to be a hard worker, but why did she feel as eager to do something big as Situ Yidong and the others?

"Did the emperor say what to do with City Lord Wang and the captain?" Meixiang asked the key question. If there was only an imperial edict but no real power, then they would be working so hard to make wedding dresses for others, so they might as well not do it.

"This has been issued along with the Princess's imperial decree. I think they should be ready for the handover now. The Princess can send someone to handle the handover formalities at any time."

"Where can I find someone to take over suddenly? Besides, I don't know anything about this and I'm not very interested in it." Meixiang got angry when she heard this. If all this mess was placed on her family in the future, she would rather not take it over now. Wouldn't it be nice to live out her life in Liujia Village with her gentle and beautiful mother?

Turning around and meeting the half-smiling looks of her mother and Eunuch Wang, Meixiang began to get scared again. She had already said the big words and now she was thinking of going back on her word. It was really not very nice to go back on her word like that. Then she looked around and saw three people who were either drinking tea with their heads down or studying the decorations in the house, and she immediately had an idea.

"Administrative, Military, Civil Affairs, do you three want to choose for yourselves or do you want me to choose for you?"

It's better to let my friend die than to let me die. It's more interesting when everyone is busy together, isn't it? Mei De thought secretly in his heart.

Situ Yidong, who had no intention of just standing by and watching, didn't even drink his tea. He looked up and was about to tease Meixiang, but when he met her eyes that flashed with a look that said "just try to refuse me", he instantly turned into Fat Tiger, raised his smiling face and said in an extremely loyal tone, "It's my great honor that Sister Meixiang can use me. Just leave the 1 soldiers to me without any worries."

Meixiang nodded approvingly and turned her gaze to Feng Yizhen, "I'm afraid I'll mess up the rest, so I'll just follow Sister Xiang'er and learn how to deal with the people."

Before Meixiang turned her gaze, Chu Zeming spoke first, crying and laughing: "Do I have any choice?"

"Sir, let Aunt Li give you all some chicken legs for dinner. Think carefully about how to do it before going to bed tonight and come up with a specific implementation plan. Let's meet early tomorrow morning. If there are no problems, go to the government office to handle the formalities for the transfer."

With just a few words, Meixiang decided on the important personnel composition of Liuzhou Prefecture for a long time.

"We're going to take over, so what is Sister Xiang'er going to do?" Situ Yidong asked the common question on behalf of everyone. It's not like they're going to work while Sister Xiang'er is sleeping at home, right? Of course, if that was the case, they wouldn't dare to show it.

"Me? I just need to take care of your logistics, research food and make delicious food for you!"

"Hahaha..." The beautiful lady and Eunuch Wang couldn't help laughing. If these four children, not including the new head of the Sun family, Sun Yu, and Feng Yishuang, these six children can make Liuzhou Prefecture a prosperous place, then there is no need to worry about Haoyue's future not being bright.

This could be the wishful thinking of the four old foxes and four little foxes in the capital? !
