……

Diverting his attention from afar, Liu Tong couldn't help but rub his hands, looking at the heirloom jade seal and You Xi sword on the table, his eyes were a little cautious.

In the end, he no longer hesitated, opened a special box, wrapped the heirloom jade seal with yellow cloth, and then put it into the box.

As for the You Xi sword, it was put back into its scabbard and hung in the bedroom.

It is impossible to put a study in the study room, after all, the roof of that place has not been repaired until now.

"Has Guan Hai already set foot on his way back?" Liu Tong thought about the situation, sighed softly, and looked up at Chen Xi's mansion.

I gave up the principle of looking for trouble as soon as possible, and waited slowly for a few days of the New Year.

"Miss, the number of people has been counted, how will this year's money be paid?" Lu Yu took a list, walked into the bedroom, looked at Liu Tong, and said quite casually, "Including those sent out, the number is three thousand six hundred and twenty-one, an increase of more than seven hundred over last year..."

"More than 3,000 people?" Liu Tong, who heard this number, also felt a little more emotion about Lu Yi's behavior in his heart.

can pick up more than 700 people a year, if you go to be a talent collector, one person can blow up several teams, this strength is too terrifying.

"Miss, in that case, how much will you send this year?" Lu Yu casually handed the list to Liu Tong, looked at the bedroom that had not changed much, and asked casually.

"How much more? Two thousand dollars for one person is enough, and for those who are female officials, an additional two thousand are issued. Liu Tong didn't even look at the list, so he said casually.

The simple behavior fully reflects Liu Tong's trust in Lu Yu, of course, it is also possible that Liu Tong does not want to delay his rest time because of such a trivial matter.

"I always feel that the lady has given them too much money." Hearing such a figure, Lu Yu shook his head on the spot, sighed casually, but did not object.

"The time they can get money a year is only now, and there are not many really people." Liu Tong said a little calmly.

Unlike the people hired in other places, the people on his side are more special, and even if they don't pay for a year, others won't say anything.

In order to deal with the universal rules, even Liu Tong, in this regard, will not give money to the maids every month, but only send some money to these maids in the name of the New Year, so that everyone can have a good New Year.

"It's still Miss kind." Lu Yu showed a smile on his face and said with emotion.

With their status, not to mention money, they can have food and clothes to wear, and ensure that they are alive, which is already a very good treatment.

"They have learned what they should learn, and they always need some capital, go out and take a look at it by themselves, understand the authenticity of this world, and better learn to use the knowledge they have learned..."Liu Tong casually wrapped the items in his hand, and sighed quite seriously.

"In this regard, whether it is the eldest lady or the young lady, it is really unexpectedly consistent." Lu Yu finally took out some silk threads from the small basket on the side and put them in front of Liu Tong.

Liu Tong looked at the woolen ball, smiled lightly, and then directly pulled out a thread and re-knitted it.

As the Chinese New Year approaches, knitting things is her busiest thing, and as for the rest, it is not important.

……

After completing the sacrifice and returning to the government affairs hall, Chen Xi gently raised his head lying on the table, looked at the surprised eyes around him, and said puzzledly, "What do you mean by this?" Why do you keep staring at me? Did I do something? ”

"Shhhh I just felt a little strange, and I was a little surprised when I saw Zichuan lying in the government affairs hall for the first time. Fanqin used his hand and pinched himself on the spot, and after feeling the pain, he realized that he was not dreaming.

Chen Xi, who has always taken the lead with diligence, would lie on the table in the government affairs hall today to rest, which is unbelievable.

"It's nothing, but I feel a little strange, as if I just went to Fusang and chatted with Taishi Ziyi and Gan Xingba." Chen Xi rubbed his neck, relying on his strong physical fitness, directly ignoring the side effects of poor sleep.

"Can you still dream of this now?" Fanqin put down the government affairs in his hand and said a little speechlessly.

Even if you are lazy to sleep, you are busy dealing with government affairs, do you want to be so rolled?

Of course, if someone else said this, Fanqin would definitely not believe it, but the person who spoke was Chen Xi, and the long-term credibility guarantee made everyone present believe this.

"Naval forces?" When Tian Feng heard the names of these two people, he couldn't help but think of Gongsun Zan in his mind.

One took the sea route, robbed Ye City halfway, and kicked the plate that they could barely beat down, and killed it with one blow.

It was precisely because he understood the reasons for the failure that Tian Feng paid extra attention to the naval forces.

After entering Liu Bei's command, they also found relevant information, and they didn't know this information at all.

The gap between the two sides of the intelligence also made Tian Feng more aware that their failure was not accidental, but more like an inevitable result.

The difference is just fast and slow, Gongsun Zhan's shot was indeed an accident, an accident that even Liu Bei didn't expect.

"Almost, it seems that they have also reached the upper limit of the establishment, although they can continue to increase, but if the number of people continues to increase, there is another problem that has to be considered..."Chen Xi said slowly about the current Tai Shi Ci and Gan Ning.

Under normal circumstances, there will be no control over the strength of the navy, and there will be as many as it can be.

With this rapid replenishment and expansion alone, the number of people has reached more than 40,000 people, although they are not necessarily skilled sailors, but they also have a certain ability to fight on the water.

And such a large number of people is already close to the regular upper limit of a corps, and any more, it will already exceed the establishment and budget.

After all, even if the navy is a branch of the armed forces, even if it can achieve self-reliance, there will be no lack of invisible constraints.

Of course, it is precisely because of the understanding of the role of the navy in the future that the power of this constraint is relatively much smaller under Chen Xi's control.

But if such a large naval force is to continue to expand, it will need a new name and regular control.

Otherwise, relying on Gan Ning's character, no one dares to guarantee where the navy will go.
