Grow from a fairy seed

Chapter 177 The old father-in-law, who knew nothing about the future, mobilized manpower and got promoted.

Wen Chunfeng frowned when he heard this.

Ji Qiu looked calm and said: "They have really thought carefully."

If everyone agrees, the Imperial Guard Division will become the territory of Qingfeng Sect, and Emperor Daling will have to distribute resources to them.

Wen Chunfeng asked: "Can't you agree to this?"

Ji Qiu nodded: "Of course I can't agree to everything, they must have left room for bargaining."

"Should we ask His Majesty for instructions to confirm some bottom lines?"

Wen Chunfeng waved his hand: "No, Your Majesty has given me full authority to handle it."

Your Majesty, your acting skills are quite good... Ji Qiu silently complained and said, "Okay, I feel like I can agree to everything else, but I can't give them full control over personnel matters..."

Half an hour passed.

Ji Qiu and Wen Chunfeng discussed a plan.

The status of the Imperial Guard Division can be maintained at its current level.

Anyway, the Guards Division has not yet succeeded the Third Division, but has only made some preliminary preparations.

Now the Guards Department is a supervisory and violence agency directly under the emperor.

His status remains unchanged and he has little influence on the court.

Ji Qiu and Wen Chunfeng both agreed that resources were rising.

But when it comes to personnel appointments and removals, Ji Qiu made some new settings.

The number of deputy envoys in the Guards Department needs to be adjusted to three, and a supervisory envoy should be established.

The appointment and removal of personnel must be approved by at least two deputy envoys.

The Inspector is responsible for supervising whether the Guards Department violates the laws of the Great Spirit.

Having a transcendent status does not mean that you can trample on the laws of the Great Spirit at will. This is the bottom line.

Moreover, the examination and selection system must be retained.

The rest of the conditions are easy to talk about. The resources distributed will increase, so there will be no problem.

Ji Qiu informed Jiang Wuhuo of the agreed upon plan.

Jiang Wuhuo spread the word: "Fellow Literary Daoist, please wait a moment. I will come back to you after the elders have discussed the outcome."

Ji Qiu was very patient: "Okay."

Not long after.

Jiang Wuhuo responded to Ji Qiu: "The exam for Quanbei Continent can be preserved, but setting up three deputy envoys cannot."

"Not even the inspector. We can accept the investigation from the Investigation Department, but we cannot set up an internal inspector."

"The most we can accept is that the imperial court arranges for a deputy envoy to report to the imperial court on the situation of the Guards Department."

Ji Qiu reasoned in a calm tone: "The salaries of the Guards Department are all paid by the imperial court, and as a result, all personnel rights are in your hands. This is unreasonable."

Jiang Wuhuo's tone was a little helpless, but the meaning behind his words was very strong.

"This is what the elders said. If they don't agree, forget it. Let's drop the matter."

Ji Qiu pondered for a moment and said: "The total number of people in the Guards Division must be decided by Your Majesty."

"You can't just accept a person and the court will give you a share of resources. No matter how full the national treasury is, you can't do this."

After a while, Jiang Wuhuo responded: "This won't work either. The Guards Department has great power and must have sufficient manpower."

"But His Majesty's concerns are justified. Let's do this. The number of people will not exceed 30 at most."

Wen Chunfeng laughed angrily: "Too greedy!"

"There are 30 people. Why does a supervisory agency need 10 people? The entire Qingfeng Sect only has more than 40 people!"

"No more talking! Talking to brainless people like the Dao Meng is worthless. It would be better for me to go to Yuzhou to catch an orangutan and talk to them than to talk to them!"

Ji Qiu laughed and said, "Senior, don't worry."

"Negotiation is about testing the other party's bottom line, and naturally you will make some seemingly unreasonable demands."

Wen Chunfeng had a displeased look on his face: "I feel like these grandsons will not retreat even one step. This is the ethos of the Dao League. If you seize an opportunity, you will try your best to make profits."

"If they refuse to take a step back, what will we do?"

Ji Qiu smiled: "Then agree to them."

"His Majesty signed a Taoist document, made a commitment to them, and guaranteed that the Great Spirit Imperial Family will continue this document."

Wen Chunfeng asked in surprise: "You can agree to this?! Explain to me."

If it were someone else who agreed to such conditions, Wenren would definitely suspect that this person had taken a kickback.

But Ji Qiu is different.

Wenren felt that Ji Qiu must have something in mind.

really.

Ji Qiu said meaningfully: "I am not from the Daling royal family. As long as the Taoist documents do not restrict me, I will naturally have a way to deal with them."

Wen Chunfeng's eyes widened with an expression that said, "You can still do this."

After a while.

He suddenly clapped his hands and laughed: "Then promise him! Just destroy them when the time comes!"

"I didn't expect you to use such a simple and crude method."

Ji Qiu smiled: "Don't worry, we have to deal with them for a while longer, and we can talk for ten days and a half."

"If you agree to the other party too easily, you may make the other party alert and cause problems."

"Moreover, if the Qingfeng Sect is willing to give in and only seek support and shelter, then they can be kept in the Guards Division."

If it wasn't necessary, Ji Qiu didn't want to do it.

Wen Chunfeng narrowed his eyes and said, "You can take full responsibility for this matter."

"I have something else, you can talk about it slowly."

After speaking, Wen Chunfeng got up and left.

Ji Qiu was slightly confused.

Why did His Majesty run away at the critical moment of negotiations?

A quarter of an hour later, Ji Qiu's question was answered.

Wenren's red sleeves flew up and landed next to Ji Qiu.

With a soft voice, she said: "Father asked me to come over and assist you with Qingfengzong's affairs."

It seems that the old father-in-law has exerted his strength and started to create a space for Ji Qiu and Wenren Hongxiu to be alone together.

Ji Qiu felt funny in her heart, stood up and held up her hands, saying to Wenren Hongxiu: "Princess, please sit down."

Wenren Hongxiu was a little confused: "My father personally handled this matter, why did I get involved halfway?"

Ji Qiu did not tell the truth: "Maybe His Majesty is busy with other things. After all, he has to prepare for war, which will cause a lot of trouble."

"I asked you to come over, maybe because I want you to help with planning and relieve some of my pressure."

Before confirming whether the two sisters could accept each other's existence, Ji Qiu planned to conceal his old father-in-law's intentions.

Because Wenren Hongxiu's temperament is actually like Wenren Shuya's duck blood, and he doesn't like twists and turns.

They like to do things according to their heart.

This should be inherited from the father who likes to flip tables and doesn't like to think too much.

Ji Qiu was a little worried. If Wenren Hongxiu wanted to know what the emperor meant, she might come directly to tell him that her sweetheart was Ji Qiu.

If the old father-in-law decides on the marriage, it will be difficult for Shuya.

Perhaps because they met when they were young, Wenren Shuya had a special status in Ji Qiu's heart.

If Ji Qiu were to choose by himself, he would give the position of wife to Wenren Shuya.

After thinking about it, the name of the child has been decided... Ji Qiu withdrew his mind and looked at Wenren Hongxiu.

She trusted Ji Qiu very much. After listening to Ji Qiu's words, she nodded lightly: "It makes sense."

"What can I do for you? Just ask."

Ji Qiu smiled and said, "Then let me tell you the details first."

"it is good."

Ji Qiu spoke, starting from the first time he met Jiang Wuhuo.

Wenren Hongxiu listened quietly.

Halfway through hearing it, she opened a restriction, and then took off the curtain she had been wearing all along.

She put the curtain on the table and stared at the white boots exposed under her long skirt, without looking at Ji Qiu.

Ji Qiu's voice paused for a moment, and he was surprised by her profile.

He had the most communication with Wenren Hongxiu, but they had always communicated spiritually, and they met very rarely.It really feels like having been dating online for many years.

Familiar spirit, unfamiliar face.

He quickly suppressed his emotions, smiled at Wenren Hongxiu, continued to speak, and quickly finished talking about the current situation.

After hearing this, Wen Ren Hongxiu pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I can't help you much, you have already thought it through very carefully."

"Father asked me to come here, probably not to help."

Ji Qiu's heart tightened, worried that Wenren Hongxiu would think too much.

He was just about to speak to fool around, when he heard Wenren Hongxiu say: "He should have asked me to learn from you."

Ji Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hands and said, "I don't dare. How dare I let the princess learn?"

Wenren Hongxiu's pretty face had a hint of blush.

She whispered: "You can do it, I should learn from you."

"Let me handle this matter. I definitely can't handle it as thoughtfully as you."

"I... am not very good at complimenting people, so I am telling the truth. You can trust me."

Wenren Hongxiu, who responded to the teasing seriously, was a bit cute and cute.

Ji Qiu wanted to chat with her for a while longer, but was a little worried that his old father-in-law had some means to spy on her secretly, so he gave up.

If he doesn't get the Mahayana, he won't be able to defeat his old father-in-law... Ji Qiu's desire for strength has become a little more intense.

When Ji Qiu and Wenren Hongxiu were silent and distracted, news came from the communication talisman.

Jiang Wuhuo responded, retreating slightly again and agreeing to reduce the personnel ceiling of the Guards Department.

Reduced to 29.

Ji Qiu smiled and was not angry.

Jiang Wuhuo's attitude clearly showed that the Qingfeng Sect was also taking one step at a time.

What the outcome will be remains to be seen.

Ji Qiu and Jiang Wuhuo continued to argue, saying that the maximum limit would be 6 people.

……

As Ji Qiu expected, this matter was not so easy to negotiate.

We talked for five hours on the first day, but nothing came of it.

After dark, Wenren Hongxiu left first.

Every day for the next day, she came in the early morning and left in the evening.

In the name of helping Ji Qiu, he had a lot more contact with Ji Qiu.

She was very happy. The smiles on her face, which had always been cold these past few days, had obviously increased.

Ji Qiu was also very happy.

Although he didn't do anything, he had a beautiful woman as his companion, and he was in charge of the important matters of the empire's war, which made him look like a powerful minister.

Wenren was also very happy after a long absence.

He thought he was a genius and thought of a reason for Ji Qiu to get along with his eldest daughter.

Although Wenren Hongxiu always carefully set restrictions so that it was inconvenient for him to peek, he firmly believed that feelings would eventually develop after getting along more.

Three wins!

His delighted Majesty had no idea of ​​what might happen in the future.

Such days lasted for 21 days.

Qingfeng Sect insisted on the conditions. The appointment and dismissal of personnel must be completely controlled by them. The maximum number of personnel in the Guards Department is 15.

In terms of salary distribution, they took a few steps back.

In order to prevent the other party from finding out the clues, Ji Qiu did a thorough job and discussed every detail.

Basically there is no room for further discussion.

Ji Qiu reported the matter to Wen Chunfeng.

At the end of his report, he concluded: "Qingfeng Sect is not here to cooperate at all. This matter cannot be solved."

Wen Chunfeng understood what Ji Qiu meant, and said with a smile: "Then sign according to this condition."

"Let them prepare the contents of the Taoist document. After confirming it with you, I will have His Majesty sign it."

Ji Qiu cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, Your Majesty."

Wen Chunfeng patted Ji Qiu's shoulder: "What's the trouble? You have to work harder."

"After confirming cooperation with Qingfeng Sect, what should we do next?"

Ji Qiu glanced around.

Wen Chunfeng raised his hand, his energy surged, and he set a restriction.

Ji Qiu then said: "I will let Xiu Xian Daily hold an annual competition for cultivators' ranking in Haizhou."

"The monks from the Third Division who are willing to join the war quietly enter Haizhou."

"This process is kept as secret as possible, so as to give Wan Daozhou less time to react."

Wen Chunfeng's eyes lit up: "Yes, you are right!"

"In the past few days, Ghost Mandrill has been talking to me... and His Majesty about how to avoid the sight of evil cultivators when deploying troops."

"Monk Ranking Tournament, tsk, we didn't even think of this move."

Ji Qiu smiled and continued: "The next step is to mobilize supplies."

"Elixirs, magic weapons and talismans cannot be mobilized too quickly, as secrets can easily be leaked."

"Let the three sects send some alchemists to serve in the Guards Department and secretly assist the imperial court in refining elixirs."

"The imperial court and the Qingfeng Sect can conduct several large transactions, hide the herbs needed to refine the elixirs in these transactions, and transport them quietly."

……

After hearing Ji Qiu's words, Wen Chunfeng strongly agreed: "You should have thought carefully!"

"how long will it takes?"

Ji Qiu said: "About eight months."

"If you want to avoid alerting Wandaozhou, it is best to mobilize fewer resources each time. Naturally, it will take more time."

For a monk with a long life span, this time is not long.

Wen Chunfeng was not in a hurry, nodded and said: "I'll let you decide."

Two days passed.

Jiang Wuhuo came to Ji Qiu personally and handed Ji Qiu a jade slip.

Ji Qiu caught the jade slip, penetrated it with his spiritual consciousness, and read the contents of the Taoist document prepared by Qingfeng Sect.

As Ji Qiu expected, Taoist documents restricted the actions of the Daling Dynasty royal family.

If the royal family of the Daling Dynasty violated the content of the document, it would be the same as the backlash of heaven after a long absence.

Jiang Wuhuo looked at Ji Qiu's expression and asked, "Fellow Taoist Wen, is there anything wrong with you?"

Ji Qiu said with a dissatisfied look on his face: "No, it's the same as promised."

"You Qingfeng Sect really take advantage of everything."

His attitude made Jiang Wuhuo breathe a sigh of relief.

Jiang Wuhuo said rather embarrassedly: "It's all the elders' opinions, and I can't help it."

"But friend Daoist Wen, don't worry. When I become the general envoy, I will definitely not be completely biased towards the sect. I will also obey your majesty's orders."

Ji Qiu had no expression on his face, stood up and said, "I will hand over the document to Your Majesty right now."

"Three days later, please ask the leader of your sect to go to the Imperial City and sign the Taoist document."

"it is good!"

Jiang Wuhuo looked excited and didn't care much about Ji Qiu's dark face.

Anyway, their three sects are powerful, even Emperor Daling doesn't pose much threat to them.

Ji Qiu left and handed the document to Wen Chunfeng.

three days later.

Ji Qiu got the latest news from Wenren Hongxiu.

"The Daoist document has been signed, and Jiang Wuhuo will serve as the second general envoy of the Guards Department."

"This matter will be kept confidential for the time being. Jiang Wuhuo will not take office until eight months later."

"Father also has arrangements for you and will give you a new, higher position, but it seems that it has not been agreed upon yet."
