At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 145 Assessment of Qingyao
The women in the several courtyards of the mansion are all extremely beautiful and skilled in martial arts. They are much more powerful than the servants in the prince's garden.

"nothing."

Qingyao shook her head: "I just came back from the knife sharpening hall, and happened to see the general practicing with his sword, so I thought about watching for a while."

"Sister Miaoyu, are you done with your work?"

She knew that most of the official documents in the general's mansion were handled by Miaoyu and Cao Ruixue.

"Still early."

Miaoyu sat down next to him and sighed, "Recently, the official documents sent from various counties have piled up like a mountain. According to the rules, after the state government handles them, they must be sent here for review. After confirming that they are correct, they can be sent back to the state government before they can be issued."

"Last month, you followed the Master on an inspection tour, and Counselor Pan also went with him. Ruixue and I were so busy that we were exhausted."

"We have to hurry and finish processing these documents. The autumn harvest is coming soon, and there will be more things to deal with later."

"For example, we need to check the figures of each county, and after the autumn harvest, the entire provincial government will make an annual summary so that we can plan and deploy what we will do next year based on this year's situation."

"In short, there is no free time every day."

Miaoyu complained.

“So tired.”

Qingyao stuck out her tongue playfully. If she were left to deal with these things, she would probably be at a loss every day.

"Have no idea."

Miaoyu said: "If we don't do so many things, how can Xiliang develop? This year, we have to recruit refugees from all over the country to build villages, and the miscellaneous Hu tribes on the western grasslands also need to be arranged."

"We also have to work hard to strengthen riverbanks, dredge river channels, and dig canals before the snow falls, in preparation for spring ploughing next year."

"When it snows, we need to take precautions against disasters. Xiliang is not bad, but mainly Xiapi and Shangdang."

"When winter comes, the commercial and travel offices in each county receive three reports a day. The livestock and furs in the cattle farms, horse farms, and sheep farms must be shipped out and sold to various states in the Central Plains in exchange for cloth, grain, salt and iron."

She knew everything about it, and Qingyao felt overwhelmed just by listening to her, let alone dealing with it.

"It's so hard."

Qingyao sighed.

The two of them were chatting away, not even noticing that Xiao Han had finished practicing with his sword.

"You don't sleep late at night and go outside to chat."

After Jingzhe was sheathed, he wiped the sweat from his head and walked towards the two women.

"Can't sleep."

Qingyao shook her head.

"I'll sit for a while and continue reading official documents."

Miaoyu said so.

"No need to stay up late tonight."

Xiao Han chuckled: "I found a helper for you."

"Who?"

She was surprised.

"You'll find out tomorrow."

Xiao Han pretended to be mysterious.

"General, can you teach me swordsmanship?"

Qingyao said weakly.

"Have you memorized all the sword manuals of Mo Dao Tang?"

Xiao Han raised an eyebrow.

"Well, I remembered most of it, except for the more advanced sword manuals."

Qingyao answered.

"When you have memorized all the sword manuals in the Grinding Hall, come and learn sword from me."

Hear the words.

Qingyao felt a little disappointed, but she didn't dare to refute. She just walked towards her room in a depressed mood.

"Well, both you and I are going to keep it a secret."

Miaoyu was angry.

"Why, are you angry?"

Xiao Han chuckled.

"Come on, I will comfort my good Yu'er." After saying that, he hugged Miaoyu in his arms like a princess and closed the door. Naturally, he went on to teach her how to use the sword.

Next room.

Qingyao tossed and turned in bed. Although she was very sleepy, she couldn't fall asleep. She simply pricked up her ears and listened until late at night.

So when I woke up the next morning, I had two panda eyes, yawned continuously, and looked completely exhausted.

After breakfast, I went straight to the Grinding Hall to catch up on my sleep.

Miaoyu, on the other hand, was radiant and had a rosy complexion. As soon as she stepped into the study, she saw a thin man in his thirties or forties sitting inside, concentrating on reading the documents in his hands.

"Yu'er, this is the helper I found for you."

Xiao Han walked out from behind him and said with a smile: "Guo Tu and Guo Ziyuan are knowledgeable in domestic affairs and foreign military affairs."

"My lord, you are too kind."

Guo Tu stood up hurriedly.

"Meet Miss Miaoyu."

"Mr. Ziyuan, you're welcome."

Miaoyu retracted her gaze and said softly, "I will have to trouble you with the affairs of the General's Mansion in the future."

Guo Tu was indeed a ruthless scholar. On the first day he took office, he showed his talent to Xiao Han. He could read through all the tedious official documents and even find out the omissions and fill in the gaps.

Xiao Han was very happy.

This is the talent I really need.

With the addition of Guo Tu, Miaoyu and Cao Ruixue's workload was greatly reduced, and the speed at which the General's Mansion replied to the provincial government's documents was greatly improved.

"Comfortable."

In previous years, during the autumn harvest, I came to see you and Xiao Han, and stayed up late every day. But this year, everything was handed over to Guo Tu.

Xiao Han spends most of his time practicing with his sword, or tasting the grapes grown by a few beautiful women every now and then.

Life is very carefree.

In the courtyard.

Enjoying the last ray of warm sunshine in late autumn, Xiao Han lay on a chair. In the pavilion in the distance, Dayueer, Xiaoyueer, and Miaoyu were chatting.

In front of him, Qingyao was a little nervous, rubbing the corners of her clothes with both hands. When Xiao Han asked about a sword manual, she recited it.

"In the Taixu Sword Technique, which seven acupoints are the Qi Chong Qi Xue?"

He spoke.

Qingyao paused: "Tianxuan, Shaoyang. Shaoyin, Tanzhong Qihai, Baihui, Tianshu."

"In the Falling Sword Chapter of the Incomplete Sutra, what is the highest state of perfection that is pursued?"

"The mind, qi and sword become one."

"In the Great River Turning Waves Sword Sutra, how does one practice the seventh level of power?"

"How to use the twelve sword moves in Xiaoting Yangliu Sword?"

"How to use the ninth move in the Noon Flame Sword Sutra."

"In the Heavy Rain Sword Sutra, what should you do if your internal energy is blocked while you are practicing?"

Xiao Han's questions were very tricky, but Qingyao was able to answer them all, and very fluently, without any mistakes whether he was reciting or asking questions.

"Sister Qingyao is indeed smart."

Xiao Yueer smiled and said, "Now that I have memorized it, I should start learning the sword."

His Heavenly Demon Art has also broken through to the fifteenth level, and is at the peak of the Vajra Realm, with a tendency to break into the Profound Finger Realm.

In terms of talent, Xiao Yue'er is definitely one in a million. After all, she was noticed by Nie Si Niang, the number one master of the Demon Sect, and was accepted as a disciple and even became the Demon Sect's Holy Maiden.

The surrender is stuck at the Vajra realm, which is nothing more than the fact that he has just entered the general's mansion and his state of mind is unstable.

"Sister Qingyao has a high talent for swordsmanship."

Dayueer nodded in agreement: "As long as I work harder and take your guidance, I'm afraid my future achievements will not be inferior to Sister Yuwen."

Yu Wenyulou's swordsmanship was also progressing rapidly, and he was almost reaching the tenth level.

These days, he has been staying in the knife grinding hall, and even the servants in the yard sent him there.

After an hour or so, the assessment was over, and Xiao Han was very satisfied with Qingyao's performance.

The girl opposite was nervous and asked cautiously, "General, can I practice swordplay now?"
