Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

Ning Fan naturally understood what Luo Yong meant. He said unconcernedly: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't be secretive."

"Doesn't everyone understand my decision?"

Ning Fan said with a smile.

Luo Yong was startled, but he still said bravely: "Everyone wants to know why the quilt is folded so neatly. Wouldn't it be better to spend more time on training?"

"I'm telling you right now, soldiers only need to obey orders, follow orders and prohibitions, and never ask questions!"

Ning Fan's face darkened and he said.

Ning Fan is a person who rarely shows his emotions on his face. When his face looks ugly, it means he is very angry.

Luo Yong, as Ning Fan's right-hand man, naturally knew about it, so when he saw Ning Fan's face, he was so scared that his legs became weak.

"I'll read it, please record it."

Ning Fan's face was grim, and Luo Yong was so frightened that he quickly took out a pen and paper and started recording.

"The first military rule is to execute orders unconditionally!"

“Catch-2, never have an excuse!”

“Catchment 3: Always give it your best!”

……

Ning Fan read while Luo Yong recorded it.

Luo Yong himself was a little shocked when the eighteen military regulations were recorded.

Are these military regulations really coming from a prince who has never fought in a war?

These military regulations are obviously refined to the extreme, but each one is particularly useful.

"Pass this thing around so that every soldier must memorize it. Remember, I want to check randomly!"

"Also, the martial arts hall will officially start classes tomorrow. There will be one hundred officers in the first batch. You have to select them for me tonight!"

Ning Fan finished his sentence, turned around and left.

The carriage was waiting at the entrance of the military camp. Ning Fan jumped on the carriage, and it suddenly started to rain.

Ning Fan saw many refugees along the way. Their mental state and nutritional status had greatly improved. Moreover, the nearby lime factory had also begun operation, and the large amount of lime produced had begun to exert its disinfecting effect.

In military camps and places where refugees gather, quicklime is used to disinfect any such places.

Moreover, Ning Fan could not see that many refugees had already begun to have fixed residences, and had been given farm tools and began to reclaim the land.

"Your Highness, Mr. Zhou has done a great job. In just a few days, our Jiangzhou will change drastically!"

Ergou couldn't help but praise.

Ning Fan nodded: "Zhou Qun is indeed very good, but we have many things to solve right now."

"Your Highness, are you talking about the classes in the martial arts hall?"

Ergou asked curiously.

Ning Fan shook his head and said: "The classes in the Martial Arts Hall are to train officers with new methods of warfare! They are trained for fighting!"

"When we come to Jiangzhou, the most important thing is to clear out the bandits in Jiangzhou! If these bandits are not cleared away, it will be impossible for us to have a stable life."

Ning Fan rubbed his eyebrows.

Only when he actually managed a place did Ning Fan realize how tired he was.

There is so much to worry about, so much to do.

Back at the mansion halfway up Yunshan Mountain, Shen Mengxi had been waiting there for a long time.

He didn't dare to enter the palace, so he stood under the porch, half of his body soaked by the rain.

When he saw Ning Fan's car approaching, he quickly knelt down in a very respectful manner.

"Master Shen, His Highness has been busy all morning and has no time to talk to you now. You go to the palace to have dinner. The prince will talk to you in the afternoon."

Seeing that Ning Fan was tired, Ergou took the initiative to speak to Shen Mengxi.

Shen Mengxi's face showed a hint of disappointment, but she still nodded and said, "I can afford to wait."

"Forget it, let's eat together and chat while we eat!"

Ning Fan waved his hand.

Shen Mengxi was a little flattered: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

In this era, it is a great thing to be able to dine with a high-ranking noble like the prince.

At this time, Shen Mengxi's face even showed the look of "You treat me like a countryman".

These days, Ning Fan has turned into a workaholic and has lost a lot of weight.

For this reason, Xina, as a concubine, was also worried.

Song Chengzhou, the governor of Tianjiang, also sent a lot of tonics, which he was cooking in different ways for Ning Fan these days.

The food was served quickly and was steaming hot. Ning Fan ate for a long time before he realized that Shen Mengxi hadn't moved at all.

"Why don't you eat?"

Ning Fan asked curiously.

Shen Mengxi blushed and said, "I don't dare."

"Eat! What are you dare to do?"

"As my subordinate, you don't even dare to eat. What else do I expect you to do for me?"

Ning Fan said with wide eyes.

Rebuilding agriculture and industry is both important, but the big rock weighing on Ning Fan's heart right now is those rampant bandits.

After the meal, Ning Fan took out his plan and explained it to Shen Mengxi one by one.

"Iron plants, cement plants, coal fields...these are all indispensable and need to be built quickly. Yunzhou has had coal mines since ancient times. Send people to explore them. By the way, there are still roads that need to be repaired."

In one afternoon, Ning Fan and Shen Mengxi had a heart-to-heart discussion and finalized many things.

It was getting dark, and Shen Mengxi left tiredly.

Although his expression was tired, his eyes were bright, with something called hope shining in them...

"Your Highness, dinner is ready."

Xina came over and looked at Ning Fan with some distress: "Your Highness has been too tired these past few days! You are the prince, so you don't have to do everything yourself. You have to train people to help you do it, and you have to delegate authority."

"You're right, but we've only been here for a few days?"

Ning Fan saw the two letters in Xina's hands and asked curiously: "Whose are these?"

"These are letters from Sister Lingxi from Kyoto. One is for His Highness, and the other is for me."

Xina handed one of the letters to Ning Fan, with a normal look on her face and no hint of jealousy.

"Writing a letter to you? You two know each other?"

Ning Fan looked surprised.

Judging from the information he had, Xina and Xiao Lingxi didn't know each other at all. How could these two people exchange letters?

"His Highness is too busy! Sister Lingxi has no choice but to find a concubine if she wants to know about His Highness's current situation."

Xina smiled.

When he arrived at the dinner table, Ning Fan first took a bun and stuffed it into his mouth, then tore open the envelope and read it with relish.

Xiao Lingxi said a lot of caring words in the letter, but she also mentioned something that was very surprising to Ning Fan, that is, General Xiao Chong would send a general to Jiangzhou in the near future.

According to Xiao Lingxi, this future father-in-law cares about him and sent a military expert to help suppress the bandits...

Ning Fan was both moved and speechless. Could it be that in Xiao Chong's heart, he, the prince, couldn't even handle a few bandits?

But having said that, good intentions still need to be taken seriously.

But although Ning Fan was busy giving lectures to the students in the martial arts hall, he gradually forgot about this matter.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Jiangzhou has undergone fundamental changes.

The first batch of fields have been divided, Ning Fan's royal office has been formally established, and a large number of literate officials have been selected.
