Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Hearing that, Nan Hua nodded.

The two of them waited until most people had left before they also climbed down. They were planning to make their way back to Cheng City and spent the next few months together there.

The temperature at the north was much colder and Cheng City’s area was more comfortable for them.

Of course, they would pay a visit to a few people before they come back.

For example, Da Yi City where Long Xu was located.

…

<Emperor Yang Zhou’s side>

The ceremony lasted for some time before it was over.

Emperor Zhou looked at Prime Minister Lan and Prime Minister Xian in front of him.

“Is there anything that you would like to report?”

“The road building is doing well, but the wall construction is a bit difficult.” Prime Minister Lan looked a bit helpless. “There are not many people who are capable of building the wall. This caused the wall building to progress slowly even if there are enough manpower.”

They have already diverted the war prisoners to the north and planned to start building the road and wall. Unfortunately, the current situation told them that building the road was possible but building the wall was a bit difficult.

There were not many qualified architect all over the world and if they wanted to make the wall big enough to cross thousands of miles, the construction would be extremely difficult.

So far, there was not enough design.

“Recruit people and make announcement about this matter.” Emperor Zhou looked at the two people in front of him. “I believe there are talented people in Fei Yang Kingdom who could do this.”

“This…”

Prime Minister Lan and Prime Minister Xian looked at each other. The two of them clearly felt that they were lacking in people whom they could trust.

There were many talented people from various areas as they conquered more and more kingdoms. But not all of these people could be reused because some of them were loyal to their previous kingdom.

If they were hastily reused, they might cause more damage to Fei Yang Kingdom instead.

Because of this, Prime Minister Lan and Prime Minister Xian were dead tired with various matters of Fei Yang Kingdom. Even Emperor Zhou was not spared from various business matters that he had to take a look.

Just look at the memorial sent to him…

He has to read them until it was late at night before he could go and rest.

So conquering other kingdoms was only the first step for Fei Yang Kingdom. For them to truly become the one and only kingdom in the land, they had to pay attention to the future development of Fei Yang Kingdom.

And there were not enough people who worked for them.

Emperor Zhou also has headache, but there was nothing that he could do about it. These talented people needed to grow up first before they could be reused. It would be impossible for him to call the younger generation directly for him to use.

Doing that kind of thing would be self defeating.

“Let’s do that. In terms of building, there are some talented people but they have never undertook such a big project and could only be responsible for a part. But most importantly, we have to unify the design type first,” Prime Minister Lan finally said.

To be honest, both Prime Minister Lan and Prime Minister Xian were better when it came to military matters.

Prime Minister Lan used to be a general and had fought on the frontline in his youth. Later on, he retired and served Emperor Zhou when the latter was young until he managed to sit firmly and become the Emperor of Fei Yang Kingdom now.

Prime Minister Xian was raised by his family and learned more about military. After all, Fei Yang Kingdom was in the midst of war when he was young and the most important thing for them at that time was to repel other kingdoms.

Coupled with Emperor Zhou’s ambition to unite the land, his knowledge and advice became even more valuable.

This allowed Prime Minister Xian and Prime Minister Lan to sit firmly on the throne.

But now that Fei Yang Kingdom had become one big kingdom… the most important thing for them to do was to stabilize and develop the kingdom.

For this matter, they would need more people who were good at this.

The two prime ministers knew about this, but they would not talk about it with each other. Because the two of them knew very well that while they would work together for Fei Yang Kingdom, they were also essentially rivals with each other.

After all, who among them didn’t want to be noticed by Emperor Zhou more?

If they were more favored than the other party, then the important tasks would fall on their heads instead of the other party.

Though, Emperor Zhou often gave tasks that had to be completed by both of them.

For this matter, they could only express their helplessness.

“Yes.”

“You may go now.”

Emperor Zhou took a deep breath and sent the two prime ministers out.

There was also the problem of the northern tribe, but Fei Yang Kingdom could no longer withstand any long term war.

So even if Emperor Zhou was dissatisfied with those people’s action of plundering the cities, he could not make any move for the time being.

The only thing he could do was to wait until it was winter and let the generals dealt with them. Only in this way would it be possible for them to win.

Though, if Emperor Zhou had to say, they might not be able to completely eliminate this threat.

‘Would the war with the northern tribe last forever?’

The war had happened since centuries ago and until now, no one could completely solve them. Would it be possible in his era or would he had to wait for countless years ahead?

Emperor Zhou didn’t know.
