Old Master Nan knew very well that even if it was his grandchildren, he had no way of knowing for sure that they would return safely.
He's proud of them.
But he's also worried. Pushing his thoughts back to the present ti, Old Master Nan cupped his fist. "Yes, Your Majesty."
After that, Old Master Nan talked about a few people whom he found before he retired from the frontline. These were the few people whom he found to have relatively better performance and he also rembered them.
After all, for Fei Yang Kingdom to grow, they needed new blood.
And when Old Master Nan was doing his duty back then, he was half paddling because he was busy watching the younger generations. Since his old body didn't really allow him to fight on the frontline freely anymore, Old Master Nan simply spent his ti watching the growth of the younger generation.
He hoped that when he left, there would still be people who protected Fei Yang Kingdom. After a while, Emperor Yang Zhou dismissed Old Master Nan and called Pri Minister Lan to the Imperial Palace.
"Your Majesty," Pri Minister Lan greeted and cupped his fist while bowing when he saw Emperor Yang Zhou. "Look at this list." Emperor Yang Zhou pointed at the list in front of him. It was the list of people that the eunuch recorded while Old Master Nan told him the nas of the few people along with their basic information. To be honest, the na that Old Master Nan wanted to ntion was only a few people.
But Emperor Yang Zhou asked him to include so people whom he had seen their performance and done quite well on the battlefield. Even if it was not as remarkable as the few people at the very forefront, their performance was still worthy of attention. "Yes, Your Majesty."
Pri Minister Lan looked at the list that Emperor Yang Zhou showed to him.
When he saw the long list of nas there, Pri Minister Lan blinked his eyes. Thankfully, there were also the basic explanation about their origin behind their nas.
So of them ca from smaller families in Fei Yang Kingdom while so others were commoners.
"These are…?"
"They're the nas of commanders who perford quite well in accordance to Great General Nan when he's on the battlefield. Their rank wouldn't be accurate by now, but I want you to investigate their nas and performance in the past few years," Emperor Yang Zhou replied. Fei Yang Kingdom urgently needed more people.
Not only for the frontline but also to manage the security of the newly captured territory.
For this, Emperor Yang Zhou would like to promote so people and have them lead more people.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Pri Minister Lan took the list and left. With the power of the ministry, they gathered the necessary information very quickly and Pri Minister Lan brought the information back to Emperor Yang Zhou. It took him around a day to completely sort out the information.
At this ti, Emperor Yang Zhou was looking at the invitation for Long Qian Xing's marriage.
Well, it was a special invitation from Long Qian Xing.
That young man was very happy when he ntioned this matter to Emperor Yang Zhou, making him rather baffled if he had to be honest. He had half the ntality of trying when he asked for the list of nas from Old Master Nan. After all, there were not many people whom he could trust and Old Master Nan was one of them. 08:33
But Emperor Yang Zhou also knew that Long Qian Xing is happy.
So he's also happy with Long Qian Xing. In any case, Emperor Yang Zhou would not stop what Long Qian Xing wanted to do.
The official duties could wait until that young man was done with his personal affairs. "Your Majesty."
"Have you finished the investigation?" Emperor Yang Zhou looked at Pri Minister Lan in surprise.
There were quite a lot of nas that Emperor Yang Zhou asked from Old Master Nan. Logically speaking, it would take so ti before Pri Minister Lan gathered all the information. "Your Majesty, every recruitnt would have the record of the soldiers and the families they co from," Pri Minister Lan said helplessly. "Moreover, everyone have their household residence record."
The household residence in this era was relatively simple, but it would still record their family nas on a written form. There was also the office in Fei Yang Kingdom's Capital City that managed the entire list.
It was divided by cities, so Pri Minister Lan sorted them all quite quickly.
Anyway, he didn't work by himself.
There were many people under him who would work for him. In that case, gathering the information needed was naturally done very quickly.
"Good." Emperor Yang Zhou nodded in satisfaction.
He thought that the system that was arranged would still take so ti to be implented. But it seed that the ministry under him had worked efficiently and this satisfied Emperor Yang Zhou. "Your Majesty, half of the people here have passed away on the battlefield," Pri Minister Lan said.
Since these nas ca from a few years ago, Pri Minister Lan also asked them to check the na of the deceased. After every war, there would be a long list of people who died and their nas were removed from their family's household residence.
But there were still the deceased record in the office.
Through that list, Pri Minister Lan found so of these nas.
Even if they were deed to be quite capable by Old Master Nan, they failed to grow up in the end. After all, having a potential didn't an that they would definitely succeed.
So people would be able to walk until the very end, showing their brilliance and achievents. But so others would be buried along with the ordinary people, not achieving much or failed in the middle and died without making any splash. Emperor Yang Zhou nodded, not surprised by Pri Minister Lan's words.
He had half the ntality of trying when he asked for the list of nas from Old Master Nan. After all, there were not many people whom he could trust and Old Master Nan was one of them.
