Hunting system, and I ended up becoming the empress!

It was Su Zhen's turn. His report was simple, "The Sunan Army has added more than 20,000 soldiers and has 70% combat effectiveness."

Xiao Dong couldn't help but said: "These 20,000 people of yours were all found by my Xiao Family Army!"

It makes him angry to talk about it. Every time Su Zhen comes to Xiao's army, he will take away several dozen people, all of whom are elite and smart people.

He went to him to ask for an explanation, and he said confidently, "My Sunan Army has a complicated battle formation, and it must be run by elite personnel. The prince wants to expand the Sunan Army to 100,000. I have no choice but to ask you for funding. Anyway, we are all serving the prince, so brother Dong, please bear more."

Everyone in Xiaodongduo Old Town was so angry that they jumped up and down.

Xiao Zhixing turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it. She chose to smooth things over - she had her hands full and it was difficult for her.

Xiao Dong glared at Su Zhen before reporting his own troops, "The Xiao family army now has 200,000 soldiers, and all the new recruits have seen blood. In another six months, I am confident that I can penetrate the heart of the grassland!"

Su Zhen said leisurely: "My Sunan Army has now reached the heart of the grassland."

Xiao Zhixing coughed dryly. When did Su Zhen have such a bad taste? Didn't you see that even the honest people were almost furious?

She was busy trying to divert Xiao Dong's attention. "I plan to deploy 100,000 troops each for the border defense of Mengzhou and Ningzhou. Uncle Dong, please work hard and get this done as soon as possible so that our north will be safe."

Of course, there are definitely more than 200,000 soldiers. The remaining soldiers have to be hidden, the more the better.

Why don't we quickly train more soldiers and strengthen our military force while there is still peace? Are we waiting to conscript men when the time comes?

Oops, her lack of firepower has come back again.

Seeing her serious expression, Xiao Dong did not dare to take it lightly and said hurriedly: "Yes, I will continue to expand the troops after I return."

Well, if there is no one to recruit from Beizhou, then we can go to Mengzhou and Dongzhou. Our Xiao family army has sufficient pay and pensions. Once you come in, you will be covered for life. He needs to do more publicity.

Finally, it was the turn of each county magistrate to report on the various matters in his or her jurisdiction, and she would give instructions and solutions to any doubts.

Her attitude: You can ask any questions you have and I will do my best to help solve them. It’s okay if you make mistakes, just correct them immediately.

As long as they are sincere in doing practical things and serving the country and the people, she can tolerate some minor mistakes that are not harmful.

You can't just sit in your position and do nothing, wasting your salary.

For example, the magistrate of Beixiong County, Xiang.

The other two county magistrates had deliberately asked Ji Bai and the others about her style of doing things, so they were well prepared and had memorized all kinds of information about the jurisdiction.

Lord Xiang Ganxiang, on the other hand, said with a righteous look, "I am old and cannot remember. If Your Majesty really wants to know more about Beixiong County, you can go there in person. After all, seeing is believing."

Everyone else looked incredulous.

Where did this idiot come from? Is he so stubborn?

County Magistrate Shao Qing, who was sitting next to him, moved the armchair under his butt to the side very quickly.

He was afraid of being implicated by a fool.

Everyone watched his nose and heart, waiting for his result.

Xiao Zhixing now tried not to get angry easily. After all, it was the first group meeting, and if she started beating and killing people right away, she would seem like a tyrant.

As a result, some people actually dared to challenge us openly.

Now even the old guys in the imperial court don’t dare to challenge her.

She was afraid that she had heard it wrong, so she kindly confirmed it again, "Master Xiang, think about it carefully. Even if you can't remember it, you should have a report prepared, right?"

He bowed to Gan Chaoshengjing and said, "This humble official's memorial is only for your majesty's review. Oh, if Lord Qi wants to read it, that's fine too. As for you, my lord, just take care of your own business."

Xiao Zhixing looked at the short old man. Who gave him the courage? Or was he just a fool?

He was able to serve as the county magistrate of Beixiong County for ten years and did not attract Zhao Yunqi's anger after the Guixiongguan Incident.

She didn't believe he was so tactless.

Then we can only say that it was intentional.

She didn't want to delve into the reasons, nor was she in the mood to care about this random person. She said calmly, "Come here, Lord Xiang has gone insane. Take him away and take good care of him. I will report to His Majesty and ask him to send someone younger."

The guards at the door walked into the house and wanted to take the man down.

Xiang Gan pushed the chair away and stood up, sneering, "I will go by myself."

After saying this, he walked out with his chest puffed out and his head held high.

The meeting room was silent.

Xiao Zhixing never got angry. "Continue."

Li Wenxiu reported on the accounts he had checked.

In the past few months, she and the accounting master worked day and night to check the account books of the county magistrate's office and found many problems.

The little girl was so tired that all her baby fat was lost.

He coughed and was about to speak.

The guards escorting Xiang Gan came in quickly, looking panicked and said, "It's not good, Your Majesty!"

Everyone was shocked, thinking that Xiang Gan had died outside the government office.

When they went out to take a look, they saw the man kneeling in front of the gate holding a tablet, his black hat on the ground, and his chin raised, waiting for them to show up.

Xiao Zhixing did not come out, so Ji Bai asked on her behalf, "Sir Xiang, as an official appointed by the court, how can you be so shameless as to do such an outrageous thing?"

Xiang Gan shouted, "She dares to overpower Your Majesty and usurp power, so why shouldn't I dare to do the same?"

Ji Bai frowned, "Your Highness was ordered to govern the Northern Province, which was an order from His Majesty himself. How can you say that you are usurping the throne? As an old man, Lord Xiang cannot be so ignorant and do such a foolish thing. Come, help the old man up and send him back."

"Hahaha, I will be stupid and throw a tantrum today. You go and ask the prince to come out. I want to ask her in front of everyone and in front of the tablet in my hand, what is a subject?"

Ji Bai's eyes sank slightly, and he turned the tablet in Gan's hand upside down in his arms, unable to see who was on it.

He had a bad feeling.

At this time, many people gradually gathered in front of the yamen.

Suddenly, seven or eight old men rushed over and knelt behind Xiang Gan, with a serious look on their faces, marching forward and backward with him.

Ji Bai recognized two of them, both with the surname Xiao.

Moreover, these people are all well-known and virtuous elders among the people, and they cannot be beaten or scolded.

He knew that this matter was no longer something he could handle.

"Why? She dared to do it, but she dared not come out and confront me in person? Let her come out and see the person behind me, and let her ask herself what it means to be a subject."

The place was quiet.

Xiang Gan could only question him sternly, "As a minister of Dasheng, she has her own army and is powerful enough to suppress Your Majesty, and she has killed officials at will. Now, she is trying to control Beizhou in the name of the governor, and is acting beyond her authority. Is this what a minister should do?"

"I think she wants to be the king of the North, to take away my territory, to split my land, and to become a traitor!"

boom--

The people at the scene were in commotion.

This is too strong a statement.

They admired Xiao Zhixing's bravery, and they also knew that all the current changes in Beizhou were caused by her.

They were extremely grateful and remembered her as their savior.

But Xiang Gan is also right.

The people of Beizhou only know Xiao Zhixing, but not the emperor. This, this is indeed a bit too much.

Of course, there were also pure people who refuted Xiang Gan, "Lord Xiang's words were extreme. How could he speculate about Prince Yuan Sheng so maliciously?"

"The facts are before us, why do I need to speculate? She interfered in the appointment of officials in Northern Province, spent gold and silver to buy fame, and acted tyrannically. Isn't this a desire to be the king of Northern Province?"

Xiang Gan did not retreat at all, "Prince Yuansheng, if you are not guilty, why don't you dare to come out and argue with me, Chen Chenqing?"
