Don't Hold Me Back

Yanhuai City.

After students from various places arrived one after another, they have all passed the exams and are now undergoing temporary training.

The training content was relatively simple; all they needed to do was to skillfully apply the books Fang Weiyan gave them to their daily lives.

Meanwhile, in the fields Yanhuai City, land reclamation has already begun.

All the crops in the fields had been uprooted and replaced with seeds brought by Fang Weiyan.

Using the fertilizer that Fang Weiyan brought, spreading it will increase grain yield.

Fang Weiyan Fang Weiyan the time to check on the military farms Yanhuai City, and what he saw put his mind at ease.

The farmers can work in the fields with peace of mind, as the fields are well-managed.

Meanwhile, construction had already begun on the official roads connecting Yanhuai City to various counties.

The entire Yanhuai City was extremely busy.

Fortunately, Yanhuai City has a population of over 800,000, so there are still enough people available for the time being.

After a brief training period, the Ministry of Ministry of Personnel quickly prepared a list and sent it to Fang Weiyan.

"Your Majesty, this assignment is based on the students' abilities after their training. Is there anything that needs to be changed?"

Fang Weiyan took the list and glanced at the names and locations assigned to him.

I also took a quick look at the students' hometowns.

As per Fang Weiyan's instructions, these students were not to be assigned to their original hometowns after their assignments, in order to prevent the other party from showing favoritism.

The Ministry of Personnel listened to Fang Weiyan's request, and none of these students were assigned to their original hometowns.

"Well, let's do it this way. Let them take up their posts immediately, and give them some silver as an advance on their salaries, so they won't go hungry when they arrive."

Many of the students who came were from poor families; they had borrowed money to travel to take the exam.

The concern now is that if we send them to their posts, they might not have enough money for food once they arrive.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have noted it down."

The officials from the Ministry of Personnel responded immediately upon hearing this.

"Why haven't we heard any news about dyeing workshops or weaving workshops? Has the Ministry of Works made any move yet?"

Fang Weiyan flipped through the booklet next to him, but did not see any matters reported by the Ministry of Works.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Works is short-handed. Most of its personnel are currently engaged in road construction and land reclamation, leaving them somewhat overwhelmed..."

"Short-handed? Didn't we just have so many students take the exam? Transfer some to the Ministry of Works to practice. If they do anything wrong or do anything incorrectly, the guys Ministry of Works can teach them."

New students may lack experience, but given opportunities to hone their skills, they will surely grow and improve.

With the court currently short-handed, Fang Weiyan is willing to give these students some opportunities to hone their skills.

"The Ministry of Personnel will draft a list, and those positions in the Six Ministries will be filled. Do I really need to say anything about this?"

Fang Weiyan finished speaking, he suddenly looked towards the Ministry of Personnel.

There was no such list on the previous list, no officials from the Ministry of Personnel of Personnel.

Could it be that they're thinking of taking advantage of the current manpower shortage to seize power for themselves?

Once they've settled down, they can start promoting their own people one by one.

Thinking of this, Fang Weiyan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression became somewhat dangerous.

He originally thought that as long as these people were willing to work hard with him, they could improve the national strength of the Jiang Kingdom.

If he can become the Human Sovereign in the future, it wouldn't be a bad idea to give these guys some benefits.

But if these guys dare to scheme against each other in this kind of thing and hold him back, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

He got billions from the main world, and now he's poured them all into this.

If these guys dare to trip him up at this time, Fang Weiyan will definitely fly into a rage and kill them.

The officials from the Ministry of Personnel noticed that Fang Weiyan's eyes had become dangerous, and their hearts skipped a beat.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take care of it immediately."

The Minister of Ministry of Personnel felt a sudden pang of unease. In fact, Fang Weiyan had not misjudged his thoughts.

In the previous incident, over a hundred ministers were executed, and the case involved a very wide range of people.

As a censor in the Ministry of Ministry of Personnel, he had never been exposed to such great power before. Over the years, he had handled the transfers and promotions of many officials in the court.

This gradually gave him a taste of the sweetness of power.

With just a word, he could arbitrarily promote people and enjoy the admiration of others; this feeling gradually became addictive to him.

Under these circumstances, he began to feel that the lack of personnel in the court, even if not replaced, was actually a good thing for him.

At the very least, if he stays in office long enough, the Emperor will definitely appoint him as the Minister of Ministry of Personnel.

When the time comes, he'll promote some people under his command, and the entire Ministry of Personnel will be his.

With this mindset, his actions were somewhat influenced by his own selfish motives.

Fang Weiyan looked at the censor in front of him, then looked away, before glancing at the other ministers.

"If this happens again in the future, then you can expect to be taken directly to the Meridian Gate for execution."

"I'm telling you this one last time. Put aside your petty schemes and help me improve the strength of the Jiang Kingdom Jiang Kingdom, so that it can reach the level of a prosperous dynasty. At that time, I will naturally reward you handsomely."

"But if anyone dares to hinder me, don't blame me for executing them all."

Fang Weiyan crackled with murderous intent as he spoke, for these men had been in officialdom for so long and were all seasoned veterans.

If we don't deter these people, there will definitely be a next time.

Upon seeing the emperor's anger, the ministers were so frightened that they all knelt down.

For the first time, they felt that suffocating sensation from Fang Weiyan.

Upon closer reflection, they realized that although the person in front of them looked young, even younger than them, his methods were certainly not something they could afford to mess with.

After all, they managed to defeat tens of thousands of rebels head-on with only 10,000 soldiers; that's something they did.

"Alright, all of you may leave. Set up all the necessary workshops in Yanhuai City as soon as possible. Also, pay more attention to the Ministry of Rites."

Fang Weiyan glanced at the ministers who were lying on the ground trembling, and wondered if he should make an example of one of them.

I had this thought in my mind, but I couldn't find a suitable excuse.

He currently has no evidence to convict the other party.

After thinking about it, I decided to abandon the idea.

If we discover something similar again later, we can take action then.

"Emperor..."

Fang Weiyan was deep in thought about what had just happened, wondering if his threat had worked.

The next moment, however, a voice called out.

Fang Weiyan looked up and saw Tao Lingluo walk in.

"Why are you here? How's your peach tree branch?"

It had been many days since Fang Weiyan had seen Tao Lingluo; all he knew was that she had been constantly recharging the peach tree branches he was using.

I was busy with this matter, so I didn't see the other person much.

"The heavenly lightning power within the peach tree branch has already reached its full potential, and it's still increasing. Once it's increased even more, I'll go settle accounts with that centipede demon!"

When this was mentioned, Tao Lingluo's face lit up with joy, and she looked extremely excited.

As she spoke, Tao Lingluo gracefully walked in.

Fang Weiyan noticed that the other person's expression had recovered considerably, and he no longer looked as unreal as before.

It seems his strength has recovered considerably.

"Go find that centipede demon? Can we even defeat it? What if it gets away again?"

Upon hearing the name of the centipede demon, Fang Weiyan's heart stirred slightly.

Putting everything else aside, Fang Weiyan genuinely believed that this centipede demon was a menace.

Keeping the other person around is risky; who knows if they might find an opportunity to harm him?

If possible, it would be better to get rid of this guy.

"Don't worry, once the heavenly lightning power within the peach tree branch is sufficient, a few lashes will definitely bring it down. Then, I'll take its corpse and soak it in wine for you to drink; it'll be a great aphrodisiac!"

Upon hearing this, Tao Lingluo immediately patted her chest confidently and said...

As she moved, the scene before her became a turbulent one.

Fang Weiyan's lips twitched upon hearing this. Although he had heard of centipede-infused wine, Fang Weiyan really couldn't accept the idea of drinking it.

"No need, I don't need it. I'm perfectly healthy."

Fang Weiyan quickly waved his hand and said something to signal the other party not to do such a thing.

Upon hearing this, Tao Lingluo blinked her big eyes and looked Fang Weiyan up and down, seemingly showing some disappointment.

"By the way, what brings you here to see me?"

Fang Weiyan changed the subject, asking what the other person wanted to see him about.

I have no idea what this guy was thinking, how he came up with the idea of male enhancement.

Do you feel weak?

"Yes, it's Uncle Bai from Divine Farmer Valley. Didn't we agree to trade once a month? He couldn't find you in Pingshui City, so after inquiring, he learned you were in the capital and came here."

"Oh, it's him! Please let him in!"

Fang Weiyan had almost forgotten about it before it was mentioned; he'd been just too busy lately.

Thinking of this, Fang Weiyan quickly asked Tao Lingluo to bring the other party in.

Soon, Uncle Bai was brought in, and he was taken aback when he saw Fang Weiyan sitting on the dragon throne.

He never expected that Fang Weiyan would become the emperor of the Jiang Kingdom in just one month.

"I'd like to ask, does this deal still stand?"

I had previously told Fang Weiyan that we would trade once a month.

Now that Fang Weiyan has become the emperor of the Jiang Kingdom, he doesn't know if this deal still counts.

"Of course it counts!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Weiyan immediately replied, then turned to Tao Lingluo, "Is there still enough fertilizer left in the warehouse for the transaction?"

Fang Weiyan had just shipped a batch of fertilizer to the warehouse in Yanhuai City a while ago; it's quite important.

So Tao Lingluo was put in charge of looking after it.

There's still quite a bit left in Pingshui City, so we'll just leave it there for next year when Pingshui City can use it for farming.

There are still plenty left.

Tao Lingluo nodded immediately.

She didn't touch all the fertilizer in the warehouse, knowing that Fang Weiyan would also use most of it on the farmland in Yanhuai City, so she didn't dare to use too much.

Although Fang Weiyan had mentioned before that she could use it as she pleased.

But she was also worried that if she absorbed a lot of what Fang Weiyan gave her, and then incurred Fang Weiyan's displeasure, she wouldn't get any of these things anymore.

Therefore, she was still somewhat restrained in this regard.

"Okay, go and allocate the amount to him."

Upon hearing this, Fang Weiyan immediately instructed Tao Lingluo to handle the matter. "By the way, for future transactions, you can directly contact Tao Lingluo; the two of you should be able to communicate more easily."

"I understand now."

Uncle Bai didn't object, as he also felt that trading directly with Tao Lingluo would be easier.

Tao Lingluo responded in response and then led the other person down.

After a short while, Tao Lingluo returned leisurely. "The transaction is complete. I've inspected the roots they brought, and they're all placed in the main hall of the inner palace."

"Okay, the deal is done."

Fang Weiyan nodded, recalling what the other party had said before, "If you're going to find that centipede demon, remember you must be absolutely certain of victory before you go, and you must kill it in one strike. Don't let it escape."

"If we let her escape again, it won't be so easy to find her in the future."

Fang Weiyan was somewhat worried that if he failed completely in his revenge attempt, the other party would definitely hold a grudge.

Fang Weiyan felt very uncomfortable being constantly thought about by this guy.

"Don't worry, I know about it."

Tao Lingluo nodded, indicating that she had absolutely no problem.

With the Fang Weiyan, the power of her peach tree branch will definitely increase significantly.

I was already whipping them so hard they couldn't fight back. Next time I see them, I'll definitely give them a few more lashes until their soul is scattered!

Seeing that Tao Lingluo was so confident, Fang Weiyan stopped talking and instead asked a question that he was more concerned about.

"By the way, do you know about the Merfolk Kingdom?"

Fang Weiyan thought for a moment and asked, "Yunxi gave me a piece of Merfolk Gauze before, and I'm still wearing it Fang Weiyan."

The quality of this Merfolk Gauze is truly exceptional.

Fang Weiyan began to consider that it would be great if they could establish a trade relationship with the Merfolk Kingdom.

"I know, but I don't know where it is..."

After listening to this, Tao Lingluo twitched her lips and said.

She was just a tree before, and she couldn't leave the tree's body, so how could she run around?

So she knew about the Merfolk Kingdom, but she didn't know exactly where it was.

Fang Weiyan was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this, but after thinking for a moment, he continued, "Do you know any demons that you feel are of good character?"

Fang Weiyan felt that Tao Lingluo was a good demon, and it would be great if more of her could assist him.

Tao Lingluo was speechless upon hearing this, saying that demons cannot be judged by their nature...
