"I was tricked by Fang Xuanling..."

Chu Tian found that his military advisor was not very good at scheming others, but he was particularly good at scheming against his own lord.

Chutian was lying on Xia Liang's bed, and there was a faint fragrance in the room. Xia Liang was lying on the bedside, less than a foot away from Chu Tian, ​​and he could even hear his breathing.

She was obviously sleeping soundly, her eyelashes were trembling slightly, and she was breathing evenly.

This was the first time Chu Tian looked at this subordinate. If it was just about her appearance, Xia Liang was indeed not inferior to any woman Chu Tian had ever seen.

The key is ability.

From politics to economics and military, he is an all-rounder.

Chu Tian knew that nothing happened last night, otherwise Xia Liang would not be lying on the bedside.

When he was looking at Xia Liang from side to side, his eyelashes flickered. Xia Liang opened her eyes and found Chu Tian staring at her, only one foot away.

She blushed and explained hurriedly: "Lord, nothing happened last night... I have a very good memory. I have seen Fang Xuanling's new servants and recognized their identities at a glance... It must be Fang Xuanling.

Being messy has nothing to do with your subordinates..."

Fang Xuanling's plan was discovered.

For some reason, Chu Tian felt a little regretful.

"Can I have water?"

Chu Tian felt his mouth was dry and Xia Liang hurriedly brought him a bowl of water.

"During this period, you will temporarily serve as the Prime Minister of Xiapi and look after the families of Xiapi for me. When I come back from the national war, you will move to the Lord's Mansion."

Chu Tian thought of Fang Xuanling's proposal. If Xia Liang was allowed to expand his power, it would indeed be detrimental to the development of his power.

"Moving into the Lord's Mansion?"

Xia Tian was stunned. She did not expect that Chu Tian, ​​who was usually just like Mu Mu and valued interests more than her, would suddenly let her live in the Lord's Mansion.

Apart from that, what else can you do when you live in the Lord's Mansion?

"If you don't want to..."

"I obey my orders."

Xia Liang blocked Chu Tian's mouth to prevent the piece of wood from going back on his word.

Chu Tian didn't expect Xia Liang to be so proactive.

A smart woman never hesitates when it's time to attack.

"First put the latch on the door..."

"My subordinates have already closed the door and have no intention of letting the lord out..."

"..."

Fang Xuanling held a folding fan in her hand and wandered around the streets of Xiapi City, feeling proud: "The beauty of adulthood is really refreshing."

If Xia Liang comes to power, with her intelligence, she will definitely support Fang Xuanling politically.

In addition, Fang Xuanling was one of the first people to follow Chu Tian. Even if Chu Tian recruited other civil servants in the future, his status as a long history would be difficult to shake.

This is called a rare commodity.

"The military advisor is in a good mood."

Chutian's voice came from behind, and the slight smile on Fang Xuanling's face gradually solidified.

Fang Xuanling turned around and bowed: "My lord."

"As a military advisor, if you don't plot against the enemy's country, but plot against your lord, what crime should you do?"

"This subordinate's crime deserves death."

"Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped. There is still one month before the national war. In the next month, you will go to the stable to work as a groom and reflect on it."

Fang Xuanling suddenly frowned.

Chutian did not make the politically speculative Fang Xuanling feel easy. After a month of working as a groom, he would give Fang Xuanling a hard beating to prevent Fang Xuanling from interfering too much in these private affairs.

Fang Xuanling is a smart man and should understand Chu Tian's intentions.

"Subordinates take orders."

Fang Xuanling herself was tortured a lot and realized that this lord was not a good person.

Coupled with the addition of Xia Liang, Fang Xuanling suddenly realized that she seemed to have formed an incredible combination. Wouldn't the future ministers face two people who are good at power at the same time?

"It's okay. I have the merit of Yuelao, and my position as chief historian is as stable as Mount Tai. It's just that I have suffered a lot from other civil servants."

Fang Xuanling put away the folding fan, thinking that it would be difficult for civil servants in the future. With a lord who was constantly fighting and a shrewd woman behind him, all civil servants and noble families would tremble.

There is still one month left before the National War. After a period of construction, Xia City can be upgraded to a medium-sized city.

There are currently four large cities in Chutian's territory, namely Langya City, Tan City, Xiapi City, and Pengcheng.

But Xia City has special significance to Chutian, and it will be merged with Langya City in the future to become a giant city.

Chutian placed all the important buildings in Xia City, reinforced the city walls, and built a moat as a stronghold for turning over in the future when the war situation was unfavorable.

There was a sensation in the Lord's Mansion, and Chu Tian felt that the size of the Lord's Mansion had expanded again.

[Territory]: Xia City (medium-sized city)

[Lord]: Chutian (Marquis of Kaiyang County)

[Affiliation]: Langya Kingdom, Xuzhou, Eastern Han District

[Specialties]: Ordinary green tea (newly added C-level specialty), top-grade white porcelain (newly added S-level specialty)

【Population】:205867/500000

【Popularity】:91

【Public Security】:90

[Prosperity of this city]: 40507/100000

【Administrative efficiency】:65/100

【Agricultural efficiency】:67/100

【Economic efficiency】:70/100

【Cultural efficiency】:80/100

[City defense works]: Intermediate rammed earth brick city wall, medium-sized city tower, intermediate stone arrow tower, low-level horse face, Yaksha Lei...

[New buildings]: City God's Temple (a fifth-level building, increasing blessing value and popular support), a fifth-level inn...

"The cultural score has actually reached 80. Most of it is the effect brought by celebrities such as Lefang and Du Fu Thatched Cottage."

Chutian personally upgraded Xia City from a small city to a medium-sized city, just like raising a child by himself. In the beginning, Xia City was just a village.

Because Lu Zhi, Cai Yong, Cai Wenji, Wu Qingcheng, Diao Chan (not recruited), poet Du Fu, Cao Song and other influential historical figures settled in Xiacheng, Xiacheng seems to have become the cultural center of Xuzhou.

Chutian can guarantee that after the burning of Luoyang City, no city in the Eastern Han Dynasty now has so many historical figures and special talents.

Even the miracle doctor Hua Tuo temporarily lived in the city.

Xuzhou was stable, and more people and big figures flowed into Langya Kingdom and into Xia City.

The population of Xiacheng has reached 200,000, and because it has been in business for a long time, the public support and public security of Xiacheng are above 90. It can be said that it is the most trustworthy city by Chutian. Even if most of the cities in Xuzhou fall, there are still Xiacheng

The city can be trusted.

The whole of Xuzhou was not only busy with reforms, but also preparing for the national war.

Fang Xuanling was punished by Chu Tian to work as a groom in the stable because of his plot against his lord.

The groom at the stable discovered that Fang Xuanling, who was engaged in animal husbandry in Xuzhou and the director of General Anton's office, had to go to the stable to do some heavy work in person.

What Fang Xuanling has to take care of is not ordinary war horses, but Chutian's Liangzhou horses and high-quality Turkic war horses.

When the groom saw Fang Xuanling carrying a bucket of water and wanted to wash the horses himself, he quickly stopped Fang Xuanling and said, "What do you think, Sir Chang Shi? Just let us servants do these dirty work."

"No, since my lord has punished me to be a groom, I can't take any tricks, otherwise my life will be difficult in the future."

Fang Xuanling changed out of his robe and wore the same narrow clothes and short sleeves as the groom, and washed the fur of the war horse himself.

The smell of the stables was very strong, to be precise, it was too unpleasant.

Fang Xuanling, a disciple of a well-known family and in a high position, had never experienced such treatment.

"There are so many absurd things in the world when you help others achieve good deeds, only to be punished in the end..."

Fang Xuanling wiped the horse's back and talked to himself.

The grooms looked at each other. They could only give instructions to Fang Xuanling on how to take care of the horses, but they could not replace Fang Xuanling. They were helpless because this was an order from the lord.

They didn't understand why a dignified long history turned into a groom like them.

"Master Fang, why are you here?"

Hua Mulan led a fine war horse to the stable and asked the groom to take care of it, but she met Fang Xuanling.
