Yu understood that he correctly stopped speaking, but just sat upright, quietly waiting for His Majesty's next words.

Fang Xuling looked at his demeanor, how could he not know his thoughts? couldn't help but smile and said: "You don't need to be nervous, what I said to you today should only be a chat, not a recording, and there will be no records on file!" You just have to say what you want! ”

"You already know what's going on out there! I just guess and know, what do you think of those people? ”

"Your Majesty, no matter what, this matter is not qualified to be discussed!" He said cautiously, "The minister is the courtier of the empire, and he defends the interests of the empire!" No matter who Your Majesty is interested in in the future, the minister will swear allegiance! No two minds! ”

"I told you to say it, what are you worried about?" Fang Xu said unhappily, "Could it be that he is invincible on the battlefield and is a genius who is not afraid of countless Kilizak people!" Don't you even dare to say a few words after returning home? Where is your courage? ”

Ye Qingyuan was helpless, thought for a moment, and said carefully: "If the empire is in a period of peace, then these few can be considered; However, at present, the empire is in an eventful time, with the power of the family inside, and the countries of the Star Sea eyeing each other, not to mention the old civilizations with their own calculations, and the Kilizakos who are making a comeback after decades! ”

"For the sake of the continuation of the country and the well-being of trillions of people, the future empire must be led by a monarch who is capable and prestigious enough to serve the people!"

"There is some truth!" Fang Xu bowed his head slightly, "Then do you think, among these heirs of mine, which one meets the standard you said?" In other words, who would you prefer to follow in the future? ”

"In terms of ability and prestige, these highnesses are insufficient!" Looking at Fang Xuling's face, he said cautiously: "His Royal Highness Fang Yukun is a lot stronger in this regard, but he is not from His Majesty, once he ascends to the throne in the future, the pattern of the court will inevitably change greatly, and it is not suitable!" In addition, there are a few others, who are either not minors, or have incompatible qualifications! None of them are candidates who can take on big responsibilities! ”

"Could it be that the current empire is looking for a crown prince who is only satisfied?" Fang Xu said with a smile, "It's just that your vision is quite high!" Children of the royal family, you can't even look down on any of them? ”

Ye Qingyuan only felt a chill in his heart, and his teeth tightened: "There is another one, which completely meets the standard that the minister said!" It is Her Royal Highness the Third Princess Fang Yuqing! ”

As soon as these words came out, the scene cooled down sharply.

Fang Xu closed his eyes slightly, silent, and looked just happy and angry.

Ye Qingyuan stared at his own emperor with an innocent face, and said in his heart However, you let me speak, I have said everything I can say at the moment, don't be annoyed and angry, just turn your face on the spot!

"In her body, however, she has half the blood of the Bojiang race!" After a long silence, Fang Xuling's voice sounded again.

He breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "But she is also from His Majesty, and she also has His Majesty's bloodline in her body!" Moreover, in Yichen's opinion, bloodline is not a problem! It's the ability that counts! Her Royal Highness the princess's ability and military exploits are not to be said! More than capable of leading the empire! ”

"You say it simply! Those old guys don't think so! Fang Xu Ling sighed lightly, "At the beginning, in order to canonize her as a princess, a few old antiques in the royal family dared to play a hunger strike with me!" What to say is that the royal blood is not to be confused! Hey! It's ridiculous! ”

"Why don't they know about the perilous situation that the empire will face in the coming decades? If an incompetent person really gets to the throne, the empire will become the second Gardley Federation! ”

At this point, he leaned over slightly, stared at him and said, "If I really chose her!" The government and the opposition must be full of emotion, and even the most loyal courtiers may not agree with my decision! For the sake of overall stability, I also had to compromise! ”

Ye Qingyuan stood up and responded solemnly: "No matter what others look at, the minister will definitely support His Majesty's decision!" ”

Fang Xuling bowed his head lightly, and asked again, "I heard that those people have come to look for you?" ”

"Yes, but the minister...... It's all pushed off! ”

"Fang Yanren, this kid still has the ability, but he loves to have fun, and his private life is a little inappropriate! If you hone it well, you can't make a difference! He said slowly, "Qing might as well walk around with him more and point to him!" ”

Is that almost a statement? Ye Qingyuan was a little incomprehensible in his heart, and responded with his mouth: "Understand, obey Your Majesty's orders!" ”

"Alright, let's talk about your errand arrangements now!" Fang Xuling no longer dwelled on this topic, "Marshal Limassen is too seriously injured, and his ability has also declined significantly!" It's hard to get up to the position of Legion Director! Originally, there were two more deputies, but unfortunately they were both killed in battle! I was able to lift you up so easily! ”

"I'm happy to give this son to you, but you're still too young after all! If I just do this, those old guys will inevitably have to nag in my ears again! Therefore, I will choose a member of the clan to take over this position, and of course, he has been in retreat all year round! Maybe you don't have much time to take care of things, so you should take on more responsibilities as a deputy! ”

The meaning of these words is obvious, that is, the title cannot be given to him, but this real power has fallen into his hands a lot, and in the future, he will be the supreme commander of hundreds of abnormal legions in the empire!

"Your Majesty's arrangement is reasonable, and the minister has no objection!" He replied with gratitude.

"I've talked to you so much today, and there are some things that you just know in your heart, don't let them know! In short, you just need to do your own thing, no matter what kind of superfluous idle things, I will take care of it for you! Fang Xuling finally said.

The two of them chatted for a while before Fang Xu signaled that he could step down.

Before leaving, Fang Xu said suddenly: "If there is something and it is inconvenient to come to me, go to Fang Yuqing!" Besides me, the person you can trust the most is her! ”

The Emperor's mind is really elusive, however, he has already received a hint, there is no need to worry about this anymore! Just do what Your Majesty wants!

The next day, Ye Qingyuan went out early, boarded the luxurious ship specially equipped for him, and came to work in the Ministry of Defense Office Center and the Ability Legion Area located in the Eastern Continent of the Fifth Planet, near the equator!

The ship landed directly on the apron at the top of the building, and in his current status, his position on the Imperial side was second only to Guron and his lieutenants, and was roughly in the top five, so no one dared to question whether his actions were appropriate. In fact, that's what the bigwigs of the strategic command with real power do!

Entering the center of the heavily guarded building, according to the custom, I first went to visit my immediate superior, Field Marshal Gurlons, the Minister of War! After a polite exchange, return to your own office and start your work today.

Because it was the first day of work, the heads of various subordinate departments came early to wait for the meeting, and tried to make a good impression in front of the new boss. Even the commanders of the legions who were still in the imperial capital came. In the conference room with an area of thousands of square meters, hundreds of high-grade officers gathered together! The stars shine, and the gold medals and brocades reflect each other!

The new director is a member of the royal family, and his cultivation is not low, and he is already close to fifteen stars! also has the title of marquis, but he has been in retreat all year round, and he doesn't care about the world at all! This time, at the behest of His Majesty, he took the position of director, but it was just a name.

After the officers arrived, he symbolically said a few words on the main seat, and very simply announced that he was unwell and needed a long-term recuperation, and all matters were decided by Deputy Director Ye Qingyuan! Then he got up and left, without any mud and water!

Yu understands that from now on, the Imperial Ability Legion will become the world of Ye Qingyuan!

Of course, with power comes always a heavy responsibility, and since you sit in this position, you have to make a difference! After reading the various responses submitted by his various departments, the excitement when he took charge not long ago is gone!

Although he had been prepared in his heart before he came, the current situation of the Imperial Ability Legion was even worse than he had originally estimated! There are a lot of all kinds of superfluous things, and they all need to be solved by he, the new boss, as soon as possible!

Among them, the most redundant idle thing is the problem of replenishing soldiers! In this battle, the Ability Legion contributed a lot, and because of this, the battle loss rate was also the highest! Before the war, the Empire's Ability Legion was three hundred and thirty-five! Later, a large number of civilian awakened people were recruited into the army, and the number expanded to more than 700! After the war, only a little more than 170 regiments remained, and most of them were dissatisfied!

The establishment of the Ability Legion is a team of 8 ten, and ten teams are a regiment; Every eight regiments, plus a part of the civilian, information, and logistics personnel, as well as the division commander's guard, the commando team formed a standard division of about 5,500 people! Every eight divisions, together with some special formations, the commandos formed a standard corps of about 50,000 men!

Of course, sometimes the number of corps is not set in stone, but will be adjusted in due course depending on the quality of the troops, the degree of equipment, the problems of funding, the tasks to be carried out, and the differences in the deployment areas.

This kind of establishment is much smaller than that of regular legions, but the combat power of the two is not at the same level at all, and there is no comparison!

Ye Qingyuan's current task is to estimate the means to make up for all the missing soldiers, and to rebuild those extinct legions to the scale before the war!

Then there is the issue of pensions for the officers and soldiers who have died in battle, which has been solved a lot by his predecessor Marshal Limassen before the end of the war, and the rest are all killed in the last battle, and the number is as many as one million, and it cannot be delayed any longer!

Then, there is the issue of the equipment of the Ability Legion, and the various precious resources required by the officers and soldiers for cultivation! It's all an unavoidable problem!

"The pensions of these fallen officers and soldiers are all issued by the military department according to the unified standard, right?" In the spacious and bright office, Ye Qingyuan stared at the mountain of documents in front of him and asked, "Why hasn't it been completely solved yet?" ”

Yang Wentao said: "The war is over, the aftermath work of all parties is very heavy, and there are not many places to ask for money!" The funds of the military department are also very tight, so only 80% of the scheduled funds are currently in place, and the remaining gap can only wait, or we can wait to solve it by our own means! ”

He turned on the photon computer in front of him and further explained: "The matter of the dead is actually not the most urgent, most of the officers and soldiers who have been injured are still lying in the medical cabin!" There are millions of them! ”

"About 30% of them have almost collapsed genes, and their abilities have deteriorated significantly! It's just that after the injury is healed, you can just be an ordinary person, but the retirement compensation for them must be calculated according to the ability star before the injury! ”

"About half of the rest of the people are seriously injured, and ordinary treatment can only stabilize their injuries, and it is estimated that in order to heal, a large number of precious high-grade genetic medicines must be allocated! It's all going to cost money! And the funding gap is bigger than the pension! ”

"In short, all the problems you are facing today can be summed up in one problem: money!"

Ye Qingyuan frowned and said, "How many funds do I have that can be used at present?" ”

A beautiful female adjutant of life chemistry immediately came over and responded: "In addition to some funds that have been used in specific ways and cannot be misappropriated, there are currently more than 783.98 billion crystal nuclei!" ”

"So many?" Ye Qingyuan said in surprise, "Then to solve the current problem, it should be enough to use, right?" ”

Liu Xiangyun smiled bitterly: "General, you don't know, this is not just a pension, but also a medical fee!" It's all the money I've been waiting for in the next three months! It includes the salaries of more than 100 officers and soldiers of the existing regiment, as well as the recruitment of new recruits and the use of training fees! There are also maintenance fees for major bases, the purchase of new equipment, the repair of old equipment, and the maintenance of the fleet! ”

"If you spend a period of time away all at once, and then a year and a half, these tens of millions of officers and soldiers will have to drink the northwest wind!"

Ye Qingyuan was silent, why didn't he expect the problem to be so redundant, sure enough, this son is not so easy to sit on!

"Can I apply for more funding from the military department?" He asked.

"It's a bit difficult!" Hu Mu responded on the sidelines, "The military department's own funds are also very tight, and I recently heard that the southern territory of the empire is a little unstable, and several small vassal states near the border are not very stable!" It's not clear who is behind it! Therefore, the military department is going to have a large-scale troop transfer operation again! At this time, there may not be extra financial resources to meet our needs! ”

"Or could you try to talk to the Minister of Finance? If you don't, you might as well go to Your Majesty! ”

Ye Qingyuan estimated and rejected this suggestion. Duke Trump, who is in the Ministry of Finance, has no friendship with him, and may not buy his account! Besides, this is not completely consistent with the existing system of the empire, and the establishment of the Alien Legion is still under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War after all, and the funds are also approved by the Ministry of War. He went to the Ministry of Finance to ask for money on his own, and it was not like that at all!

However, for His Majesty, if he speaks, the money should be in his hands. But he wasn't going to do that unless it was a last resort! After all, His Majesty threw this mess to him, just to test him, if he ran to the palace as soon as something happened, his impression in His Majesty's heart would undoubtedly be greatly reduced!

"If you pay for the existing pension, medical expenses! How much balance is left? He asked. (To be continued.) )
