Old Master Nan knew very well that even if it was his grandchildren, he had no way of knowing for sure that they would return safely.

He’s proud of them.

But he’s also worried. Pushing his thoughts back to the present time, Old Master Nan cupped his fist. “Yes, Your Majesty.”

After that, Old Master Nan talked about a few people whom he found before he retired from the frontline. These were the few people whom he found to have relatively better performance and he also remembered them.

After all, for Fei Yang Kingdom to grow, they needed new blood.

And when Old Master Nan was doing his duty back then, he was half paddling because he was busy watching the younger generations. Since his old body didn’t really allow him to fight on the frontline freely anymore, Old Master Nan simply spent his time watching the growth of the younger generation.

He hoped that when he left, there would still be people who protected Fei Yang Kingdom. After a while, Emperor Yang Zhou dismissed Old Master Nan and called Prime Minister Lan to the Imperial Palace.

“Your Majesty,” Prime Minister Lan greeted and cupped his fist while bowing when he saw Emperor Yang Zhou. “Look at this list.” Emperor Yang Zhou pointed at the list in front of him. It was the list of people that the eunuch recorded while Old Master Nan told him the names of the few people along with their basic information. To be honest, the name that Old Master Nan wanted to mention was only a few people.

But Emperor Yang Zhou asked him to include some people whom he had seen their performance and done quite well on the battlefield. Even if it was not as remarkable as the few people at the very forefront, their performance was still worthy of attention. “Yes, Your Majesty.”

Prime Minister Lan looked at the list that Emperor Yang Zhou showed to him.

When he saw the long list of names there, Prime Minister Lan blinked his eyes. Thankfully, there were also the basic explanation about their origin behind their names.

Some of them came from smaller families in Fei Yang Kingdom while some others were commoners.

“These are…?”

“They’re the names of commanders who performed quite well in accordance to Great General Nan when he’s on the battlefield. Their rank wouldn’t be accurate by now, but I want you to investigate their names and performance in the past few years,” Emperor Yang Zhou replied. Fei Yang Kingdom urgently needed more people.

Not only for the frontline but also to manage the security of the newly captured territory.

For this, Emperor Yang Zhou would like to promote some people and have them lead more people.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Prime Minister Lan took the list and left. With the power of the ministry, they gathered the necessary information very quickly and Prime Minister Lan brought the information back to Emperor Yang Zhou. It took him around a day to completely sort out the information.

At this time, Emperor Yang Zhou was looking at the invitation for Long Qian Xing’s marriage.

Well, it was a special invitation from Long Qian Xing.

That young man was very happy when he mentioned this matter to Emperor Yang Zhou, making him rather baffled if he had to be honest. He had half the mentality of trying when he asked for the list of names from Old Master Nan. After all, there were not many people whom he could trust and Old Master Nan was one of them. 08:33

But Emperor Yang Zhou also knew that Long Qian Xing is happy.

So he’s also happy with Long Qian Xing. In any case, Emperor Yang Zhou would not stop what Long Qian Xing wanted to do.

The official duties could wait until that young man was done with his personal affairs. “Your Majesty.”

“Have you finished the investigation?” Emperor Yang Zhou looked at Prime Minister Lan in surprise.

There were quite a lot of names that Emperor Yang Zhou asked from Old Master Nan. Logically speaking, it would take some time before Prime Minister Lan gathered all the information. “Your Majesty, every recruitment would have the record of the soldiers and the families they come from,” Prime Minister Lan said helplessly. “Moreover, everyone have their household residence record.”

The household residence in this era was relatively simple, but it would still record their family names on a written form. There was also the office in Fei Yang Kingdom’s Capital City that managed the entire list. saʀᴄh th NovelFull.net website on Ggl to access chapters of nvels early and in the highest quality.

It was divided by cities, so Prime Minister Lan sorted them all quite quickly.

Anyway, he didn’t work by himself.

There were many people under him who would work for him. In that case, gathering the information needed was naturally done very quickly.

“Good.” Emperor Yang Zhou nodded in satisfaction.

He thought that the system that was arranged would still take some time to be implemented. But it seemed that the ministry under him had worked efficiently and this satisfied Emperor Yang Zhou. “Your Majesty, half of the people here have passed away on the battlefield,” Prime Minister Lan said.

Since these names came from a few years ago, Prime Minister Lan also asked them to check the name of the deceased. After every war, there would be a long list of people who died and their names were removed from their family’s household residence.

But there were still the deceased record in the office.

Through that list, Prime Minister Lan found some of these names.

Even if they were deemed to be quite capable by Old Master Nan, they failed to grow up in the end. After all, having a potential didn’t mean that they would definitely succeed.

Some people would be able to walk until the very end, showing their brilliance and achievements. But some others would be buried along with the ordinary people, not achieving much or failed in the middle and died without making any splash. Emperor Yang Zhou nodded, not surprised by Prime Minister Lan’s words.

He had half the mentality of trying when he asked for the list of names from Old Master Nan. After all, there were not many people whom he could trust and Old Master Nan was one of them.
