Chapter 2099 Emperor Yang Zhou and Old Master Nan’s Conversation
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Of course, when Emperor Yang Zhou mentioned this matter, it would not include Long Qian Xing and the few others who had already reached the rank of generals.They were the exceptions.
When Emperor Yang Zhou voiced his concern to his minister, Prime Minister Lan suggested for him to discuss with Old Master Nan. No matter what, Old Master Nan was from that era when Fei Yang Kingdom dominated the battlefield and many people came up to become famous. There were not many people who were still alive from that time.
Old Master Nan was one of them.
Of course, asking Old Master Nan to lead the soldiers again would be highly impossible. Old Master Nan was already too old and his body was no longer as healthy nor as strong as he used to be.
Emperor Yang Zhou would not give such a stupid order. “How long is the possible break?” Emperor Yang Zhou asked and turned to look at Prime Minister Xian, the other prime minister aside from Prime Minister Lan. “A year of recovery should be possible,” Prime Minister Xian replied. “During this period of time, we can recruit more soldiers and also increase food production.”
But if it was any longer, it might be a bit difficult for them.
Emperor Yang Zhou nodded and then glanced at Prime Minister Lan. “Prepare the soldiers’ recruitment. At least, increase their number so that it wouldn’t be so few. Additionally, send more people to the southeast, Great General Long is facing some rebels there.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The two prime ministers then left to do their work. It could be said that they were busy during this period of time.
There were a lot of manpower that they needed to transfer to the areas in the southeast.
After all, they have just conquered a kingdom and the subsequent development required them to do many other things. Before long, Old Master Nan arrived in the Imperial Palace.
“Your Majesty,” Old Master Nan greeted and bowed down.
Emperor Yang Zhou nodded and beckoned for Old Master Nan to come closer. “Great General Nan, have you heard of the situation on the frontline?”
“Your Majesty, I don’t think it’s suitable to call me with this title anymore.” Old Master Nan had bitter smile on his face. The people who were suitable for this title were now the younger generation who had made their names on the battlefield.
For example, Great General Long and Great General Wei.
Old Master Nan was already a relic of the old era and could no longer truly represent this title.
“It doesn’t matter.” Emperor Yang Zhou didn’t care too much. Old Master Nan has been the great general before and even if he continued to use this name to call Old Master Nan, there was no problem at all. Old Master Nan didn’t stop Emperor Yang Zhou and replied, “Yes, Your Majesty, I have heard about the situation on the frontline.”
Emperor Yang Zhou nodded and then asked, “Do you have any good suggestion on how to deal with the remnants?”
As of now, only Zhang Xu Kingdom’s remnants suddenly jumped out and made trouble. Thankfully, there were former commanders and other commanders who were in the areas and managed to calm down everything.
But if there were no one stationed there, it was estimated that Liang City would suffer greatly. Emperor Yang Zhou didn’t want such a thing to happen. Old Master Nan was stunned. He looked at Emperor Yang Zhou with strange look. “Your Majesty, I think this kind of questions should be asked to the prime ministers instead of me.”
Even though Old Master Nan is a former great general, he didn’t really participate in the political matters during Emperor Yang Zhou’s grandfather’s era. At that time, he was still busy fighting on the frontline and the rest of the matters were being left behind to Emperor Yang Zhou’s grandfather. Besides, there were more than enough ministers to deal with this matter and it was not Old Master Nan’s turn to meddle. “I have already asked the prime ministers about this matter,” Emperor Yang Zhou replied. “However, I would like to know your opinion as you have seen how my grandfather used to handle it.”
How Emperor Yang Zhou’s grandfather handle it?
Old Master Nan was silent.
He was reminiscing the old days and also the time when he was still fighting alongside his old friends. During that period of time, it could be said that Old Master Nan was one of the few people whose responsibly was simply to fight and fight again. For other matters such as the city management and others, Old Master Nan threw it all to his old friends. Anyway, each of them have their own roles when they were fighting on the frontline. But even if he didn’t participate in, it was not like Old Master Nan didn’t know what these people were doing during that period of time. “The best way is to integrate them all to Fei Yang Kingdom as fast as possible, Your Majesty.” Old Master Nan looked at Emperor Yang Zhou and then said, “I don’t know much about the methods that’s suitable to use but I know what they used to do.”
“Please tell me.” Emperor Yang Zhou asked earnestly.
He knew very well that his knowledge was lacking and it was these older people who were suitable to teach him many things. “Yes.” Old Master Nan smiled.
For the next incense stick of time, Old Master Nan told Emperor Yang Zhou about the few things that Emperor Yang Zhou’s grandfather used to do. Even though Old Master Nan didn’t know the specific of these things, but just what he had known had given directions to Emperor Yang Zhou. It had to be said that Emperor Yang Zhou’s grandfather was really remarkable. To be able to make Fei Yang Kingdom grew tremendously until it slowly catching up with the largest kingdom, Emperor Yang Zhou’s grandfather had worked hard for his entire life.
