Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Imperial Capital, Prince Rui's Mansion.

During this period of time, Lin Yi has been at the prince's residence and has not gone to the military camp.

It wasn't that Lin Yi was lazy and didn't want to stay with the First Army, but that he still had some things to deal with in the Imperial Capital. The main thing is the first legion's military pay and warships.

Originally, Lin Yi didn't want to care about military pay, but the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Daxia Empire always felt that the military pay of the First Army was too high, just for ordinary soldiers. That's twice as much as other soldiers, not counting officers' pay.

In addition, there are the daily expenses of the First Legion, such as the supply of meat.

Although Lin Yi can replenish ammunition by checking in, completing tasks, etc.

But Lin Yi would not foolishly use all the ammunition for daily training. Some ammunition needs to be purchased by the Ministry of Household Affairs.

And this money also comes from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Originally, this was a matter of course, but the ammunition that the First Corps needed to consume every day was almost several times that of other troops.

Adding up several aspects, this means that feeding the [-] people in the First Legion is enough to feed an ordinary team of nearly [-] people.

This is without counting Wang Hongchang's six battleships.

Therefore, even the wealthy household department is now unable to bear the burden.

Qian Yi, the Minister of Household Affairs, consulted with Lin Yi several times and asked if the expenses of the First Army could be reduced.

Lin Yi patiently explained to Qian Yi at first why he wanted to spend the money.

But the old man kept saying he understood, he understood, but he turned around and asked Lin Yi if he could reduce the number.

After a few times, Lin Yi became a little impatient, so he directly transferred Qian Hongtao back from the First Army and asked him to face his father Qian Yi.

It is said that after Qian Hongtao returned to the Imperial Capital, he had a row with his father, Qian Yi, at home for three days in a row.

Not to mention the results, the effect was obvious. Qian Yi never came to Lin Yi since then, and all the money requested by the First Army was allocated to Lin Yi.

Another troublesome thing is the Admiralty.

They received news that Lin Yi had a batch of new warships, although they had not yet gone to Jinghai Port to see the new warships.

But from rumors, they knew that each of these new warships was no less powerful than the Arrogant and Gaydon.

In particular, those two battleships are said to be larger and more powerful than the flagships of the Imperial Navy in its heyday.

From then on, people from the Navy Department came to see Lin Yi every day.

I hope Lin Yi can allocate all the new warships to the navy.

In response, Lin Yi just told them to get away as far as they wanted.

He has handed over the Insolent and Gaydon to the Navy, and now he wants to seize the Intrepid and Nassau.

How dare they, how embarrassed they are!

Although Lin Yi understood the desire of the people in the Navy Department for battleships, Lin Yi also valued these battleships.

And these battleships play a very important role in Lin Yi's next plan.

If these warships are handed over to the Navy Ministry, then when I want to take action against Sakura Kingdom, the Navy Ministry will refuse to fight to the end with Sakura Kingdom's fleet in order to preserve its strength.

Therefore, it was impossible for Lin Yi to hand over something like this that could change the entire situation of the battle to anyone else.

But now, the Admiralty is running towards him every day, and Lin Yi is extremely annoyed.

It's not like he didn't think about it, he ran to the military camp to hide first, but his warship still needed more sailors, so he had to meet these officials of the Navy Department.

"Your Majesty." Just when Lin Yi felt agitated, Fang Xiao walked in.

"What's the matter?" Lin Yi said, rubbing his swollen temples.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is here and is in the front hall." Fang Xiao said to Lin Yi.

"What?" Lin Yi stood up immediately when he heard Fang Xiao say that Zhao Xi was here.

"Let's go, let's go!" Lin Yi said to Fang Xiao and ran towards the front hall.

When Lin Yi came to the front hall, he saw that Zhao Xi had changed into the military uniform of the First Legion and was looking at the map of the Great Xia Empire that Lin Yi had hung on the wall.

"Brother Xi!" Lin Yi shouted with a smile.

Zhao He heard someone calling him, he quickly turned around and saw Lin Yi walking towards him.

Zhao He quickly ran towards Lin Yi. When he was only three steps away from Lin Yi, he stopped and saluted Lin Yi with a very standard military salute.

"Zhao Xi comes to report!"

"Hey, hey, what are you doing!" Lin Yi reached out and grabbed Zhao He's hand, trying to stop Zhao He from saluting him.

"No, brother, my father told me to train with you in the military camp from now on. I will be your adjutant from now on."

"Since I am your adjutant, I should act according to the rules." Zhao He was very happy at this time.

He felt that if his good brother really did any good things, he would always think of him.

He no longer wanted to study in the palace. As the prince of the Great Xia Empire and a passionate young man, he longed for a golden horse.

He heard that his eldest brother Lin Yi defeated the coalition forces at Chaobai River, counterattacked Jinghai Port, and captured the coalition fleet.

In his heart, he had long hoped that he could participate in it.

After all, no boy can escape such romance.

But he also knew that as a prince, it was impossible for him to join the army, even though Lin Yi had told him before that he hoped he could join the army for training.

But what he didn't expect was that Lin Yi actually transferred him to his side.

As for being an adjutant to Lin Yi, Zhao Xi had no objection at all.

First of all, in Zhao Xi's consciousness, he always felt that he was Lin Yi's follower, and Zhao Xi would not reject him as his adjutant.

The second point is that the uniforms of the First Legion are very handsome, more handsome than the uniforms of other armies of the Daxia Empire.

Zhao Xi is still a teenager now, and he still likes more or less handsome things.

Zhao He had no dissatisfaction with being able to serve in an army that was capable of fighting, had good benefits, and was cool, and it was still his eldest brother's team.

Fang Xiao on the side watched his prince and prince hugging each other excitedly, with a smile on his face.

Fang Xiao didn't have any dissatisfaction in his heart.

First of all, he is Lin Yi's domestic slave. He does whatever Lin Yi asks him to do without any complaints. His loyalty to Lin Yi is one hundred percent.

Second, Lin Yi had told him long ago that Zhao Xi would replace him and serve as adjutant.

At the same time, Lin Yi also said that Zhao He succeeded him not because he did not do well, but because Lin Yi needed him to do another more important thing.

That is to form an intelligence department belonging to the First Army.

A department that can monitor the entire Daxia and monitor the movements of all countries around Daxia.

This department has a lot of power. If Fang Xiao wants to do this well, he doesn't have time to serve as Lin Yi's adjutant.

Therefore, Fang Xiao does not reject Zhao He's ability to succeed him, because in this case, he can devote himself to the establishment of the new department.

"Fang Xiao, Brother Xie will be following you during this period. You should take good care of him. Once Brother Xie gets to know him well, you can start setting up a new department!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Fang Xiao heard Lin Yi's words and nodded with a smile on his face.
