After the shipyard affairs were handed over to Fan Liang, Liu Fan finally got rid of the tedious chores, and Liu Fan also felt very tired after running around for the shipyard for the past two days, plus there are still fleet things to worry about, Liu Fan has been busy almost all the time recently, just these little things make Liu Fan tired, and at this time Liu Fan feels the pain of having no talent under his hands.

There are too few trustworthy talents who can take charge of themselves, except for Sun Yuanhua, Li Xiaohu, Wu Tao, Fan Liang and a few other people, Liu Fan looked around, and there were no more talents who could be trusted! And these people have important things to do, and they can't get out of it for a while, so Liu Fan has no choice but to do it himself!

At night, the bright moon hangs high, the cicadas chirp and insects chirp, and Liu Fan gently lies on the chair in the garden, quietly enjoying the rare freshness of the midsummer night. Zhang Yao gently rolled up a chilled grape, carefully peeled it, and gently stuffed it into Liu Fan's mouth. The cold flesh crossed the tip of his tongue, Liu Fan chewed the flesh slowly, and said, "Yao'er!" I beg you something! ”

Zhang Yao continued to be busy in his hands, and replied without raising his head, "What's the matter?" Say it! ”

Liu Fan sat up, looked at Zhang Yao and said, "Yao'er! Resign from the military academy! ”

"Huh!?" Zhang Yao was shocked when she heard this, and the grapes that were about to be peeled in her hand fell off, and she looked at Liu Fan in surprise and asked, "Why!? ”

Liu Fan hurriedly comforted: "Yao'er, don't worry about it first!" Listen to me! I want you to resign from the military academy and accept the financial affairs, you also know that with the construction of various infrastructures in Jiaozhou, arsenals, shipyards, and maritime trade fleets, which one is not a big money-consuming company? I have made a rough estimate that these three items alone plus the monthly consumption of the army will not be less than 500,000 taels. With the recent development, our stalls are getting bigger and bigger, and it's time to send someone to manage the finances! You say you don't? ”

Zhang Yao frowned and said, "Isn't Lu Xiucai in charge of financial affairs?" He's been doing a good job, huh? Why do you suddenly have to leave it to me? ”

Liu Fan pondered for a while and said, "Lu Xiucai is an outsider after all, in the past, there was only the expenditure of money and food in the army and the construction expenditure of Shihe City, and it was nothing to hand it over to him, but now it is different, all the military and political expenditures in Jiaozhou are pressed on us, and there is no one who absolutely trusts to take care of this matter, I can't rest assured!" Moreover, Wang Yong recently reported that Lu Xiucai had been in contact with officials in Jiaozhou, and he was generous, and I suspect that he has bad intentions. ”

Zhang Yao was helpless, and pouted, "Okay!" For the sake of what you said, Mrs. Ben will reluctantly accept this errand! ”

Liu Fan smiled: "It's still my Yao'er!" Well! In this way, now I will hand over the affairs of the Internal Affairs Department to Shuying, and tomorrow I will announce the appointment of you as the chief treasurer, and the two of you will cooperate! Dig out all the moths that are hiding among us! It's time to tidy up our interiors too! ”

Zhang Yao was a little surprised, "Sister Shuying?" Well, I got it! Leave this matter to us! And what about the military school? ”

Liu Fan smiled: "You don't have to worry about this!" Now there are many talented people in the military academy, and I will find someone to replace you! ”

"Hmmm! Got it! Zhang Yao said in a low voice

The next day, in the garrison mansion, Liu Fan convened the high-level and announced, "Now I announce a new personnel transfer, Zhang Yao is no longer in the position of the military academy, and is transferred to the chief financial officer, who is fully responsible for all financial expenditures in Jiaozhou!" Lu Wen, the former quartermaster of the Broken Army, was promoted to the financial adjutant to assist Zhang Yao in managing the finances! In addition, in order to facilitate the work, the silver treasury of the Broken Army will be relocated to the garrison mansion! Do you have any objections? ”

Everyone shook their heads when they heard this, all of them were Liu Fan's cronies, and they also understood Liu Fan's thoughts very well, and even Li Xiaohu muttered in private, "My lord should have been like this a long time ago!" We have to wait until now! ”

Liu Fan looked around at everyone and said majestically: "Since you have no opinion, then this matter has been decided!" Mr. Lu, Yao'er is new to the city, and I will rely on you after I have no experience! You have to help her more! Mr. Lui!? ”

Lu Wen was awakened by Liu Fan, and when he heard Liu Fan's words, he hurriedly returned, "Don't worry, my lord!" Your subordinates won't disappoint your adults! ”

Liu Fan laughed and said, "Hmm! I am relieved of Mr. Lu's talent! There is no other time! Let's all disperse! ”

Hearing Liu Fan's words, everyone also felt that there was nothing to do with themselves, and they all said goodbye and left, at this time, Liu Fan suddenly said, "Mr. Lu stays!" ”

Lu Wenlai was about to leave, but when he heard Liu Fan's words, he turned around helplessly and asked, "Is there anything else my lord?" ”

Liu Fan took a few steps forward and patted Lu Wen's shoulder and said with a smile, "Mr. Lu has been supervising the military finance of the Broken Army, and Liu Fan has never said thank you, this time I want to invite you to my house, first, let you meet Yao'er and communicate well!" Second, let me also express my gratitude! ”

Lu Wen's face changed when he heard this, and he sighed halfway before he said, "Since the adults are kindly invited!" Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate! ”

Liu Fan smiled: "Mr. Lu, don't be polite!" Let's go! I've asked Yao'er and the others to prepare lunch, so let's go together! ”

At the luncheon, Liu Fan pulled Lu Wenyi and introduced Zhang Yao and others one by one: "This is Mr. Lu Wenlu, the quartermaster of the Broken Army, Mr. Lu has been following me since the establishment of the Broken Army, and has done his best for my Broken Army, and is one of the veterans of our Jiaozhou!" Even I have a lot of respect! Don't be lazy! ”

Zhang Yao and the other women heard Liu Fan say so solemnly, and they didn't dare to slack off, they saluted in unison, and said in a coquettish voice, "I've seen Mr. Lu!" ”

Lu Wen is a scholar and has always respected etiquette, where has he seen such a scene, he hurriedly replied, "Ladies don't have to be like this!" It doesn't have to be this way! Lu Wen is a scholar, you don't deserve to be like this! ”

Liu Fan smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, you are the old man of the Broken Army!" I've been working with Liu Fan for so long, and I have always respected you! We're not outsiders anymore! Don't be so polite! Come on, come on! Let's eat first! ”

Lu Wen was a little moved when he heard this, and said with a complicated face, "My lord! I... Thank you for your care! His lips squirmed, and Lu Wen finally didn't say anything.

Next, Liu Fan warmly invited Lu Wen to participate in this family banquet, during which Liu Fan recalled the eventful years, constantly mentioned the difficult past at the beginning of the development of the Broken Army, and the deep feelings of fighting side by side with Lu Wen, and respected Lu Wen everywhere between words.

Hearing Liu Fan's praise, Lu Wen was like sitting on pins and needles, and said that he didn't dare to say again and again, as Liu Fan slowly recounted the past, Lu Wen also recalled the difficult years in the past and when Liu Fan first saw him, the ecstatic appearance and the respect for himself all the time, his face was unpredictable, and the whole banquet was absent-minded.
