Ji Xiuyong slowly straightened up, his expression solemn.“Mr. Ji, you have worked hard for the Prince Mansion over the years, is there anything else you would like to request?”Qin Ziyu said lightly.Ji Xiuyong shook his head: “If it weren’t for Your Highness’s rescue, I would have died long ago. I know Your Highness keeps his promises, and since you have promised to take care of my family, I have nothing else to ask for.”Although he hasn’t made it to the Fengyun Leaderboard, he is still a top-tier expert in the Tao Foundation Realm, only stuck at the bottleneck for years.Seven years ago, he forcefully attempted a breakthrough but failed, nearly shattering his Tao Foundation and dying.It was Qin Ziyu who expended a great amount of resources to save him, and spent a fortune on healing his injuries, allowing him to maintain most of his combat power.“Alright, from now on, your son’s expenses at the university will be covered by the Prince Mansion. If he can break through to the Tao

he Emperor’s expression remained unchanged as he looked at Ye Ze’an:“What does the Grand Secretary believe should be done about this matter?”Ye Ze’an clearly had a prepared script, and he spoke each word carefully:“First, we must enhance the mobility of local officials, especially those within the inspection system, allowing them to be transferred between provinces every two years!As for the specifics of the transfers, the new inspection plan after the transfers, and other details, I have prepared a ‘Proposal for the Cross-Provincial Transfer of Inspection System Officials.'”As he spoke, he took a thick memorial out of his wide sleeve.With just a glance from the Emperor, Feng Cheng walked down the Red Steps, came in front of Ye Ze’an, took the memorial from him, then returned and handed it to the Emperor.The ministers below were already in a commotion.If this policy were to be implemented, it would have a significant impact on every region!And many of the ministers present ha

But in many cases, management of local affairs can only use ‘pleasing everyone.’This is why Ye Ze’an, even knowing the Zhi Ge Court would be influenced by local powers, was unwilling to switch out the Martial Artists of Zhi Ge Court.Clearly, this Grand Secretary is not someone who would sit high above in the Cabinet and assume he can simply issue an edict.He truly understands the actual circumstances of different places and puts forward his thoughts after carefully considering possible variables and outcomes.In the Great Hall, Li Fei witnessed for the first time how this legendary Grand Secretary ‘governed’ the realm.He used to subconsciously think that these high-ranking, relatively incorrupt civil servants inevitably had a bit of scholarly air and idealism about them.But after hearing Ye Ze’an’s speech, Li Fei realized that this Grand Secretary was not speaking with the kind of rhetorical flourish he had imagined.In terms of eloquence, the other person even fell short compare

"Can a single word settle matters in the World?"Li Fei was taken aback, not expecting Ye Ze'an to say this to him.He bowed his head and helped the other tidy up the chessboard while saying:"Actually, I don't care much about controlling others' destinies.""Oh?"Ye Ze'an looked up at Li Fei and said, "It seems I underestimated the Marquis Jing'an."Li Fei paused momentarily with his actions, then smiled.His meaning was clear; he didn't care about controlling others' destinies, because what he cared about was controlling his own destiny.And Ye Ze'an had underestimated Li Fei because, compared to controlling the fate of thousands, controlling one's own fate is actually more difficult!The two quickly put all the chess pieces back into the chess box.Ye Ze'an swapped the chess box by his side with Li Fei's, then picked up a black piece and placed it on the board, indicating for Li Fei to continue with the second game.Li Fei, as a guest, followed suit and placed a white piece on the

The situation in Feng Province is clear as day; if the elections are conducted as Ye Ze’an suggests, the Lu family is sure to win in the end.Even though Li Fei’s Marquis Mansion has been built now, and he has the support of Datong Prefecture and Wu’an University, he still can’t compete with the Lu family in terms of votes.In Feng Province, besides Datong Prefecture, there are two more prefectures, plus a provincial city, and now an additional university.The Lu family conservatively estimates that they can secure at least 60% of the votes from the Dao Foundation Stage martial artists and Possession Stage Great Mages in these areas!“I want to try.”Li Fei looked up at Ye Ze’an and said this.Ye Ze’an was not surprised at these words, and he continued to play calmly:“Aside from the twenty-three council members of the Blue Patrol Pavilion, those who aren’t elected will become reserve council members, and there will be a re-election every year.Additionally, the Blue Patrol Envoys fro
