Bringing the farm to another world

Soon Jia Yu and his companions came to Zuo Qiuzheng's study. After Jia Yu and his companions greeted Zuo Qiuzheng, Zuo Qiuzheng asked them to sit down. After everyone sat down, Zuo Qiuzheng spoke: "According to the news just now, the Empire is going to negotiate with Zhan Yuanxing. Commander Kuang Yufei's position has been dismissed and will be replaced by Li Daji. What do you think about this matter?"

When everyone heard what Zuo Qiuzheng said, they were all stunned, and then they all showed joy on their faces. Jia Yu then said: "This is a good thing, which means we have won, but there is also a problem here, that is the problem of the armies of those families. Will the armies of those families retreat? If they retreat, that would of course be the best. If they don't retreat, then what should we do? Have you thought about it?" Jia Yu also thought of this problem at the first time.

The others all looked stern, and were all thinking about this question. Zuo Qiuzheng said in a deep voice: "I gave Li Daji an order. If the armies of those families don't retreat, we will deal with them properly and make them behave themselves. What do you think?"

Jia Yu and the others were stunned, and then their expressions became serious. Then Xu Fang said, "Your Highness, if you really do this, it will be equivalent to offending all those big families, which is not a good thing."

Before Zuo Qiuzheng could speak, Jia Yu said, "Your Highness, you really need to think twice before doing this. Those big families are still very powerful. If they don't support Your Highness, Your Highness will be in great trouble in the future. It's better for Your Highness to be careful."

Zuo Qiuzheng frowned, then said in a deep voice: "I just said that. Those big families will definitely withdraw their troops, because they have agreed with my father to negotiate with the people of Zhan Yuanxing, so they will definitely withdraw their troops and will not cause trouble. Otherwise, they will not give face to my father. If that is really the case, they will be in trouble."

Hearing what Zuo Qiuzheng said, Jia Yu and the others stopped talking and all responded. Zuo Qiuzheng looked at everyone and said, "Let's talk about the situation on Zhan Yuanxing. If Zhan Yuanxing joins the empire, what kind of changes will it bring to the empire and what kind of changes will it bring to us? Everyone, please tell us in detail." After Zuo Qiuzheng finished speaking, he glanced at everyone and waited for their answers.

Everyone frowned when they heard what Zuo Qiuzheng said. Jia Yu said, "Your Highness, to be honest, the joining of Zhan Yuan Star into the Empire really cannot bring about much change to the Empire. This planet relied on its own strength to force the Empire to negotiate with them and finally join the Empire. This is very important. In this way, they have strong autonomy, and the masters on their planet cannot be used by us, because those masters have no way to leave Zhan Yuan Star. It can be said that the strategic significance of Zhan Yuan Star is very low. In addition to using them to win this victory and gain some power and prestige, we really can't get much benefit. So I think we should not put too much energy on Zhan Yuan Star."

The others all nodded. Zuo Qiu Zheng frowned, then he thought about it, then he sighed and said, "Okay, this is the only way. This time, Li Daji and Zhao Hai will both be promoted, especially Zhao Hai. Last time, Zhao Hai actually did a good job, but in the end he was sent to Zhan Yuanxing. I don't want this to happen again in the future. Tell me, how can we ensure Zhao Hai's safety when he comes back this time?" This is what Zuo Qiu Zheng cares about most, because he thinks Zhao Hai is a very talented person. He has already let Zhao Hai down for this incident, and he doesn't want to let Zhao Hai down again for the next incident, so he asked this question, just to see how to ensure that Zhao Hai will not encounter this incident again in the future.

When Jia Yu and the others heard Zuo Qiuzheng say this, they were silent for a moment, and then Jia Yu spoke: "Your Highness, I think that the Eastern Palace is still vacant for a position, that is, the Prince's Secretary. If Mr. Zhao Hai comes back this time, you can appoint Mr. Zhao Hai as the Prince's Secretary. In this way, Mr. Zhao Hai will be an official of the Eastern Palace. Even if Your Majesty wants to transfer Mr. Zhao Hai, it must be approved by Your Highness. As long as Mr. Zhao Hai is no longer within the scope of officials directly under the empire, then even if others want to transfer Mr. Zhao Hai in the future, it will not be possible. This will save a lot of trouble. Besides, the Prince's Secretary is a position that can only be held by your Highness's confidants. There should be no problem in letting Mr. Zhao Hai take the position." The others all nodded, thinking that this idea was indeed very good. The Prince's Secretary was not actually a permanent position, but this position was very important in the Eastern Palace. What was he in charge of? In fact, he can be in charge of the affairs of the Eastern Palace, and he even has the power to mobilize the six officials of the Eastern Palace, so this official position is very important. Under normal circumstances, if you are not a confidant, you must not hold the position. Otherwise, if the Prince's Secretary does something detrimental to the Eastern Palace, the consequences will be disastrous. Precisely because of this, the position of the Prince's Secretary is usually appointed by the prince himself. Although he receives a salary from the state, he serves as an official in the prince's mansion. If the prince does not have anyone too confidant, this position is usually vacant. Even if it is vacant, it will not be appointed to the position at will, because once something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous.

The reason why Jia Yu and others proposed to let Zhao Hai take up the position of Prince's Secretary was actually to see to what extent Zuoqiu Zheng trusted Zhao Hai. If Zuoqiu Zheng really trusted Zhao Hai, then Zhao Hai could take up this position, and they would have to be more polite to Zhao Hai in the future, because Zhao Hai's status in Zuoqiu Zheng's heart might be higher than them. If Zuoqiu Zheng did not agree, it meant that Zuoqiu Zheng did not completely believe in Zhao Hai, and there was no need to change their attitude towards Zhao Hai, so they were all waiting for Zuoqiu Zheng's answer.

When Zuo Qiuzheng heard what Jia Yu and the others said, they were all stunned. Then he thought about it, turned his head and looked at everyone, and then said, "Let's decide this matter after Mr. Zhao Hai comes back. I must have a good talk with him."

Hearing Zuoqiu Zheng say this, Jia Yu and the others couldn't help but feel moved. Zuoqiu Zheng didn't refuse directly, which meant that Zhao Hai had a very high status in his heart, and having a good talk with Zhao Hai would be like an interview. If Zhao Hai passed the interview, then the position of the Prince's Secretary would be given to him, and Zhao Hai's identity and status would immediately be different.

Jia Yu and the others responded, and Zuoqiu Zheng said in a deep voice: "Okay, that's all for today, everyone go back." Everyone responded, and then left Zuoqiu Zheng's study. After they left, Zuoqiu Zheng stood up, walked to the window, looked at the sky outside, then he let out a long breath. He really wanted to have a detailed talk with Zhao Hai. When Zhao Hai was in the East Palace before, he was in seclusion for a long time, so Zuoqiu Zheng and Zhao Hai didn't have much time to talk alone. He didn't know much about Zhao Hai's abilities. The most he understood was that Zhao Hai was very good at magic arrays, and he didn't know anything else. But this time, Zhao Hai performed very well in front of Zhan Yuanxing, which made Zuoqiu Zheng discover Zhao Hai's other advantages. The position of Prince's Secretary was really too important, so he had to have a good talk with Zhao Hai.

On the other side, Zhao Hai had already called Lu Bushian and the others into the room, then he glanced at everyone and said, "Okay, now the Star Empire has agreed to our peace talks, but we have to wait a few days before giving them the news, and the conditions this time can't be the same as last time. I think 500 tons of medicinal materials plus 30 kilograms of Yuan Crystals per year will be enough, and the Star Empire will accept it, what do you think?" After Zhao Hai finished speaking, he looked at Lu Bushian and the others who were excited.

Lu Bushian and the others were really excited. You know, when Zhao Hai first told them that they could save Zhan Yuan Star, they were a little skeptical. They joined the Blood Killing Sect just to find a way out, but after knowing how powerful the Blood Killing Sect was, they were very confident in saving Zhan Yuan Star. They didn't believe that the Star Empire could surpass the Blood Killing Sect in terms of the number of masters, so they were very confident in saving Zhan Yuan Star, but when that day really came, they still felt very excited. Although they have all joined the Blood Killing Sect now, and even the people on Zhan Yuan Star have all moved to the Blood Killing Sect, Zhan Yuan Star is their hometown after all. Now that Zhan Yuan Star has been saved, they are of course happy.

So when they heard what Zhao Hai said, Lu Bushian and the others all responded, and they all became more excited. Zhao Hai looked at Lu Bushian and the others and smiled slightly, then said: "Now many people here on Zhan Yuan Star have already joined the sect, and some people have even decided to settle down in the sect. However, Zhan Yuan Star cannot be without people. If Zhan Yuan Star communicates more with the Star Empire in the future, they cannot let them see anything. So there will still be people here on Zhan Yuan Star in the future, and this place will still be handed over to you to manage. Although you can leave Zhan Yuan Star to fight now, don't show it. Let them think that you still can't fight after leaving Zhan Yuan Star. In this way, we have a trump card, which will be very beneficial for the future. Do you understand?" Lu Bushian and the others' expressions slowly calmed down, and they responded in unison.

  Zhao Hai looked at them and continued, “Although Zhan Yuan Star has been saved and we have the upper hand in the fight with the Star Empire, we still have to keep a low profile in the Star Empire. We must not let people notice us or forget our existence. That’s the best. You are a stronghold of the sect here, so you must keep a low profile and must not attract other people’s attention. Only in this way can the sect lurk in the Star Empire with peace of mind. I don’t want the people of the Star Empire to know about the existence of the sect. If that happens, it will definitely cause an uproar.” (End of this chapter)
