The empress is also very hot today

Chapter 34
The four bandit villages entrenched on the border of the Northern Territory never imagined that one day they would all be swallowed up by one of them, let alone a young girl who accomplished such a feat.

It is said that this woman is the daughter of a prince who was exiled in the Mahayana Dynasty.It is basically impossible for anyone to believe that a young lady from the capital can subdue the bandits in this barren land by herself.

However, when later generations sorted out and described this period of history, they suddenly discovered that our Empress seemed to be doing this to expand the territory... At first, it was just for self-protection...

That night.

After finishing the day's work, Ran Tong sat on the chair in the study room a little tired. She was playing with a pencil in her hand, and the paper she wrote was scribbled with weird graffiti. , I really can't think of how she will proceed as her power expands in the future.

The door of the room was gently pushed open, and a little girl looked inside furtively.

Ran Tong looked at the half-grown girl, and her anxious thoughts were swept away in an instant. She smiled and waved to the door.

"Alan, come here."

The little girl ran in with a grin.

For so many days, Alan has been afraid to come and talk to the eldest lady. Since the eldest lady can speak, Alan and the old doctor have begun to seem a little... alienated from the girl, and even feel out of place.

They could see the radiance emanating from Ran Tong's body with naked eyes, which was the unique aura of a superior person.

But now, when Alan saw the gentle smile on the eldest lady's face, she was relieved. Although Alan was young, she also knew how to read words and expressions.

Alan handed over a candy: "Auntie Yang from the kitchen gave it to me. She said it was found in the grain brought back from the Kyoto motorcade. It weighs more than ten catties. You can eat one."

"Thank you."

Ran Tong took the paper candy, smiled and patted Alan's head: "How are you doing, have the brothers in the manor bullied you?"

"How dare they!" Alan turned her nose up: "When they see me, they always call me aunt."

Ran Tong smiled helplessly, but soon, A Lan hesitated, and she asked for a while.

"Miss, you seem very tired."

Ran Tong rubbed his eyes: "Yes, in such a big manor, there are too many things to deal with every day, and I can't sleep well."

The planning of food and supplies, the dismantling of vegetable fields and muddy water, the arrangement of the responsibilities of the brothers, and getting up quietly every night to "repair and manufacture" the old buildings in the manor, all these things made Ran Tong a little out of breath .

Fortunately, modern people have brains that are relatively resistant to stress. If it were Sikong Qingwan at this time, I am afraid that he would have been overworked.

However, Ran Tong didn't say anything about the three prairie people. The people here were not as knowledgeable as Ran Tong, so they really regarded Ah Qin and the other three as ordinary deserters.

A-lan opened his eyes wide and asked suspiciously.

"Why doesn't Missy entrust some things to other people?" She seemed very serious: "I think those powerful people will arrange the following tasks to the following people, and I only need to manage those managers. .”

Ran Tong smiled, good guy, you little girl still have such management knowledge?

"A-Lan, tell me the truth, did Sister Qingqing ask you to come over and tell me this?"

"Hey..." A Lan didn't hide her secrets when she saw it, "Missy is really smart."

Ran Tong looked at the scribbled paper on the table, how could Qingqing not have such an idea, but there is a more difficult point to implement, that is, the brothers under him are all bandits who robbed houses before.

Apart from the heads of each family, the only one who can manage them is her, the lord lady.

If they were directly handed over to someone to be the head of the family, the brothers who were not in the same village before would naturally not be convinced, and going back and forth might cause problems.

But letting herself do everything herself would definitely be too much for her.

In addition to what she heard in front of Ah Qin's room last night, she was also a little concerned.

"Sister Qingqing, what suggestion do you have?" Ran Tong suddenly called out to the outside of the room.

There was a surprised cry at the door, and then Qingqing walked in awkwardly.

"Missy knew I was here."

Ran Tong patted the little girl Alan's head angrily: "Sister Qingqing, do you think that girl Alan can say the words just now?"

But having said that, Ran Tong does need someone to give her some advice. Although Zhang Peng is like a military adviser in the manor, he is the second in charge of a village after all. In order to avoid suspicion, he will not give her advice in terms of management. She has some better proposals.

But it's hard for the authorities to say, but it's not for the bystanders.

Qingqing closed the doors and windows, leaned over and said.

"Miss, why don't you cancel all the villages directly, so that all the brothers in the manor will completely forget their previous identities, so that it will be easy to manage."

Ran Tong's eyes lit up: "Sister Qingqing continued."

Qingqing: "Now there are brothers from four villages in our manor, and each village is secretly at odds with each other. Except for the brother of Fatty Village, the other three villages hope to hear the orders of their former masters besides listening to you, Miss. For example, Ah Qiang from the Scarface village directly contradicted Zhao Qichuan's order yesterday, and if this continues, there will definitely be problems."

Qingqing thinks the same as herself.

Ran Tong: "That's right, these brothers were all bandits before, they were neglected in discipline, and now they are divided into four parts. Naturally, I think you are unhappy, and you see that I am not going well."

Qingqing: "That's right, now the four villages are suppressed by your own efforts these days, Missy, but you will definitely not be able to bear the exhaustion. As long as you relax and let them let them go, the manor will soon fight among themselves."

Ran Tong changed the subject: "According to Sister Qingqing, you want me to carry out a reform, so that the brothers in the manor forget the name of the unit called Zhaizi, so that they can completely become a whole of the manor?"

"Missy is smart, you may have thought of it."

Ran Tong immediately waved his hand: "Don't, I'm really not as smart as you think, but Sister Qingqing, you really helped me a lot."

Being so busy every day, Ran Tong really never thought of such a simple and violent method.

As long as these independent villages are completely cancelled, these brothers will become a part of the manor in the future. This will not only facilitate management, but even solve many internal troubles.

"However, miss, how to implement it...Qingqing can't help much."

"It's okay, I'm already very grateful to Sister Qingqing!"

The corners of Ran Tong's mouth suddenly turned up, as if he had thought of some good idea.

A Lan beside him suddenly shuddered: "Miss, you are so scary."

"Go, go, play while you go."

Soon, Qingqing and Alan retreated together, but Ran Tong started to encounter difficulties again. Although ideas came flooding in, it was not an easy task to implement them.

Now that nearly a thousand people in the manor are divided into four factions, how can they be reformed so easily?Besides, so many men are thugs who rob houses. It is already a miracle that they can be subordinated to her. It is not an easy task for them to give up their previous ideas and unify them.

Just when Ran Tong didn't know how to operate, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

"Come in." Ran Tong said.

The one who opened the door and came in was actually that prairie girl, Ah Qin.

"It's you?" Ran Tong was taken aback for a moment, she thought it would be military advisor Zhang Peng who knocked on the door.

Ah Qin leaned forward and said, "Ah Qin has listened to the conversation just now between my sisters... I hope my sister will not blame you."

Ran Tong smiled generously: "It's nothing, I don't know why my sister came here so late?"

Aqin stood where she was: "My sister is a lifesaver. If it weren't for you, we would have starved to death in the wilderness long ago. My brother told me that my sister already knew our identities. Even so, my sister would still let us live in the manor. Aqin Thinking that my sister is worrying about something, I came here to help my sister solve her problems."

Ran Tong looked at this weak little girl, suddenly remembered what happened yesterday, and also called Ah Qin to sit down.

"My sister's Central Plains language is really good. Compared with your brother, you are more like a Central Plains native."

"That's because my elder brother practiced martial arts since he was a child, and I was too weak to practice martial arts with my elder brother, but I have loved the Central Plains culture since I was a child."

"So that's the case, since that's the case, what's your sister's opinion?"

"Sister, are you worried about the status of the brothers in the manor?"

"Yeah, you heard it just now. Although Sister Qingqing reminded me, I don't know what to do to unite these brothers."

Ah Qin smiled slightly: "Ah Qin has an idea, I don't know if my sister can accept it."

"Sister, tell me."

"In our grassland, people have always respected martial arts. In the early days of the establishment of the power, whoever has the biggest fist will gain power. Although I don't know the customs in the Central Plains, the law of the jungle has always been the iron law of biological survival." Ah Qin said softly: "Sister, you don't need to worry too much, you just need to be... tougher."

Ran Tong frowned, motioning Ah Qin to continue.

Ah Qin continued: "After these two days of contact, Ah Qin found that my sister is an extremely gentle person, beautiful and generous, which makes Ah Qin very envious."

Ran Tong smiled awkwardly, and quickly signaled Ah Qin not to flatter herself.

Ah Qin: "Sister, you don't have to be humble, but what Ah Qin said next, maybe my sister doesn't like to listen to it. Although my sister has a personality and appearance like a fairy in the sky, she is not suitable as a manager."

As soon as these words came out, Ran Tong felt that the aura of the little girl sitting in front of her had changed. There was a feeling that in some respects, this Ah Qin was even more dazzling than the military advisor Zhang Peng!
Ran Tong shook her head and smiled wryly, how could she not know what Ah Qin saw.

"My sister wants to say, righteousness does not control wealth, and compassion does not control soldiers?"

Ah Qin nodded: "Now it seems that my sister is not only perfect in character, but also extremely intelligent."

Not only Ah Qin in front of me, but when Fatty Nanshan was finding fault, Zhang Peng used Chen Gang to say something similar to her. , but over time, the brothers below will lose the most important thing: awe.

As the lord of a territory, losing prestige is tantamount to falling apart.

But from a cancer patient who usually lies in a hospital bed waiting for chemotherapy to become a lord who manages a territory, it is naturally not an easy task.

Ah Qin continued: "Although I don't know whether it is appropriate to use it here, but I remember the Zhongyuan saying that the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. My sister's character is like this. I can't force myself to become a person who is against me, but my sister , if a leader can't be ruthless, what will happen, I don't need to say more about it."

After saying these words, Ah Qin silently withdrew.

Even Ran Tong didn't react.
