Subsequently, in a not too long period of time, Zhang Fan did not need to travel around with extraordinary ability to be sure that the aftermath of the turmoil had gradually passed, and the influence of pacifying the separatist forces in the world was not as strong as before. In the months that followed, Zhang Fan was able to tell that the children who were still smart were able to analyze and even process the report, and their ability to analyze and even process the report had improved to a large extent compared to before.

At this time, Zhang Fan finally had time to re-start his meditation practice, and felt and deduced some signs in a special place, and in the careful observation and perception for several days, Zhang Fan seemed to gradually feel a certain uneasiness or some strange feelings. It seems that if this continues, when your life is approaching in a few decades or even hundreds of years, you will only be able to live for the rest of your life, as if you will lose some of your ability to cross the bottleneck, and you will also lose something to be accomplished?

It didn't take too long for Zhang Fan to finally be sure that it was inappropriate for him to continue to govern with his extraordinary ability, especially when he was in peace after the chaos.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan first came to the place not far from where Ling Ling and the others were imprisoned, and through the thunder manipulation ability that went further than before, these people lost their existing memories and even a lot of abilities in their bodies, and became a completely non-threatening crowd.

Later, in his spare time, he said to some of the children around him, "Before I become a mortal king in the true sense of the word, I plan to buy some personal inheritance." This requires some people to help, and you also need to know some skills in auditing. There is also a way to understand the general operating conditions of a bank, at least in the inner treasury. . . At least there should be a private income of one million catties of grain every year, and at the same time, a relatively concentrated imperial village should be purchased in a special place. Huangzhuang Huangdian calculates, if you have a private income of 3 million catties of grain per year, it is the most favorable situation... ”

Hearing this, even the children around him who were not so smart felt almost strange: "The monarch is rich all over the world, and the most important thing is not the ability to lead troops and military power?

Zhang Fan said patiently, "Because... For I will try to act in the manner of a mortal king. A monarch like me, with his transcendent abilities and attitude, is almost equivalent to a founding king, and of course it doesn't matter. However, under normal circumstances, a mediocre emperor does not have the willpower and ability to sit in the barracks every day to train and raise troops. One of the ways he wields power is the acquiescence of the people in the legal system to avoid confusion, and at the same time he has enough resources to act as a lubricant. Otherwise, even if you effectively grasp the hearts and minds of the people in the palace, you may encounter problems of one kind or another. And it is actually inconvenient to use the income from taxes to do some things necessary to maintain the power system. For example, if the rewards for those who need to be rewarded in the palace and the salaries of the guards officers, if these systems go through the formal channels of taxation and finance, the power in them may be interfered with by outsiders, and those people will not have a real sense of dependence. Therefore, when one's own qualifications and even ability and level are not enough to consolidate power by force, it is important to belong to the wealth that can be directly controlled by the monarch without being interfered with in various ways in use. The annual income is controlled at the scale of several million catties of rice grain prices, and the savings are about tens of millions, which is still a bottom line to some extent... ”

Hearing this, the hearts of many children around him were also cheerful, and they seemed to have begun to understand many things that even the prince and the prince would not easily teach.

Subsequently, it seems that the palace in the general sense of the Dongyuan Kingdom began to enter the stage of preparation, Zhang Fan did not follow the rules of the past to select any palace maids and concubines, but still recruited more than 100 girls from civilian families, and let the families of these girls also come to the palace city on the eve, and there are hundreds of people in the palace city near the tower palace. This was followed by the rotation and selection of the garrison and the establishment of the perimeter defense of the entire Miyagi. It turned out that the children who followed him first became the female officials of these children who did not choose to grow up.

Zhang Fan didn't seem to have a straight question in the face of individual children, and he didn't shy away from saying, "According to the past rules of the Dongyuan Kingdom, there are thousands of palace concubines, thousands of direct guards, and thousands of eunuchs in the emperor's palace, and sometimes the scale is even larger. And some of the guards have a lot more than that. It's likely that these mechanics are just cages set up by certain groups for the monarch to covertly. If it weren't for the fact that I possessed some abilities that ordinary mortals did not possess at all, and I was just a mortal king, managing such a large palace would inevitably require the establishment of a bureaucratic system that would isolate the use of power, which would actually give some people room to listen to information and even get their hands on it. Therefore, in Kyushu earlier, when the countries were still competing and competing, there were some harems that did not have the habit of being more than 100 later, there were no eunuchs, and the monarch could not engage in the system of polygamy and concubines. Those court maids or servants should be at most about the same status as housemaids or prostitutes, and not in a sense of public office. In this way, everyone in the harem, which is not large, can be familiar with the monarch, and the space for his hands and even all kinds of internal friction will be greatly reduced... ”

"Monarch, why ... Why don't you have a concubine, and there is no concubine, there is only one nominal queen?"

In this regard, Zhang Fan did not shy away from saying: "You have to consider the problem from the perspective of some other people." If you were a commoner, or ... Or an officer of the Guards or even an officer and soldier who was transferred to serve as an escort. When you see a person who has a harem battle that ordinary big families don't have, you will think like this? Maybe because of the imperial power, you will feel intimidated and envied. But the true sense of respect is likely to be greatly diminished. I think to some extent, when he understands that a monarch is also an emperor, and when he is not so sacred, he still has too extravagant life and style, so it is naturally difficult for people to have a real sense of respect. Just like the barbarian regimes that used to run rampant in the Beizhou and Xizhou areas hundreds of years ago, when they were relatively strong, there were often no palaces that were too large, and to some extent, this is the reason... ”

Of course, Zhang Fan did not shy away from telling about some other things, such as the setting of the palace armament, the tone system, etc., and did not mind telling a lot of things to these girls who seemed to have nothing to do with the prince, because they may be the best "prince and princess" in the future.

"For example, if there is no river passing through or entering and exiting the water, the stagnant pool can quickly become rancid. The same is true of the military or other groups. If the guards had been on duty in the palace for as long as ten or twenty years, the discipline of these people would have become lax. It's better to treat this place as if it were your own home. Therefore, how to manage the long-term old man and old servant is a very difficult problem to solve even for some people who have a lot of experience in governing the family. Therefore, the palace guard should have a good retirement system. Their selection and provenance should not be too regular. Nowadays, when some weapons do not require so much strength, it is the best choice to enter the palace at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and to leave the palace to take up various external positions when they are about twenty. Of course, one of the hidden dangers here is internal leaks, so these guards have to be divided into the distinction between direct guards and guards. The former can serve longer, but the latter cannot. The purpose of the battalions, other than the direct guards and the guards, is to effectively carry out the tasks of defense and garrison under special circumstances. The relative perfection and unification of the power system within these ranks is also a potential hidden danger to some extent, and should be divided into different parts. And in one of the different parts of it, there is a certain range of border army argument mechanisms. This will ensure that the team will not become a dangerous commodity with a minimum of combat effectiveness... ”

"But if that's the case, won't it damage the combat effectiveness of the extraordinary time?" a child who was not stupid suddenly asked at this time. Of course, Zhang Fan has no intention of saying anything in this situation: "The teams around the palace are different from the Chinese army in the real sense, and the more important thing is reliability, and combat effectiveness is not the highest requirement." Because under certain circumstances, the main function of these teams is to garrison them, and these can only be strengthened by means of environmental arrangement. In the past, the imperial palace was not only large and inappropriate, but also gave up the most basic garrison functions to some extent, which of course added more hidden dangers on top of the hidden dangers. ”

Not to mention that the scale of the new tower palace and the palace castle in the neighboring places is much smaller than that of the old palace castle of Dongyuan Province, and more importantly, many internal requirements have also been reduced a lot. For example, the use of too large wood or even too heavy a single boulder has made the cost plummeted to only about tens of thousands of taels in some conveniences, even compared to the mansions of some wealthy families.

However, it is precisely because the requirements of the entire new palace from people to things are much simpler, so the preparation process is also much simpler, and it does not cost too much unnecessary time, and many of the faces outside the tower palace have been completely renovated in less than half a year.

This time, the selection of people was not based on Zhang Fan's personal actions, but to a large extent, this made Zhang Fan even more unexpected. Because Zhang Fan is well-informed, he doesn't think that the appearance potential of the one hundred and eight girls selected is outstanding, but there is no doubt that they are more regular at a very young age, and even if there is no special discipline when they are gathered, there are not many noises that are out of tune, but Zhang Fan is not very satisfied with this.

Is it possible to fundamentally change the three views just by knowing some rules better? Not necessarily, if some things are suppressed more, they will rebound more violently, and they may rebound in a bad direction. Therefore, Zhang Fan also said to these children: "Your performance seems to let me see some of the things you have experienced and even the people you have met, those people are probably very strict with you, and they can't win your sincere respect, right?"

Hearing this, many children felt panicked, and no one taught them what to say and how to deal with this situation, but in such a situation, the children no longer had the courage to stand and knelt down.

"Stand up, don't kneel!" Zhang Fan said sternly.

Hearing this, the children finally chose to stand up.

Zhang Fan didn't seem to be like other adults who seemed to be separated by a wall for these children, but seemed to be very frank and said, "I hope that the atmosphere that I will have here in the future is a kind of straightforwardness and cheerfulness like the kind of straightforwardness that you just remember when you were a child, a kind of innocence that is rare in the adult world of Dongyuan Kyushu, and I don't want to become a lot of places in front of you and behind the scenes, like many big families." Of course, there are some rules here, and if you break them, you will face serious penalties. But I don't want you to be children anymore, like some of those who have been tainted by the breath of the city ... ”

When Zhang Fan saw such words, it didn't seem to have a good effect, and he also knew that freezing three feet was not a day's cold, so in this case, he could only regain the feeling of being a child by asking these children to carry out some collective confrontation activities, and some war games such as literary drama that needed to be discussed and discussed.

As Zhang Fan expected, when some of the ice seemed to be broken, these children who seemed to be introverted and well-behaved in the past gradually took on the appearance of children.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Fan finally began to have more time to focus on the training of Naomon Koemon. With Zhang Fan's ability at this time, of course, he doesn't need these armed personnel around him who are like cumbersome. It's just that if you are an emperor with no special abilities, these are essential.

At the beginning, of course, Zhang Fan also understood that it was not the time to show his grace, but to focus on strict training like ordinary officers or instructors who led the troops, and when Zhang Fan was somewhat relieved, his strict training did not seem to easily bring much disgust, which undoubtedly showed that there should be no problem with these soldiers before. It's not that some people with a heart specifically sent it to make trouble. There should be a lot of potential, and it is really worth developing the abilities of these people yourself
