Beng Tie: What does it mean to broaden one's four destinies in one sentence?

He murmured to himself, then shook his head.

"It was a good dream."

Chapter 66 This is not something I should be bearing at my age.

In the afternoon, at Shence Mansion.

Lin Si scratched her head and looked at a "Budget Application of the Industrial Construction Department" with a pained expression, as if she had been forced to eat cilantro.

The documents lay spread out on the table, the densely packed words resembling a swarm of ants crawling on the paper.

What are these "details of materials required for the iteration of Yunqi Army's standard weapons", what are these "estimated annual maintenance costs for Xingcha Shipyard", what are these "coordination plans for material allocation between the Engineering and Construction Department and the Shipbuilding Department"?

He recognized each line of text, but couldn't understand them when they were put together.

This thing is much harder than the dungeon walkthroughs in the game.

Jing Yuan sat beside him. The general held a teacup in his hand, watching him handle state affairs with a smile playing on his lips.

"What? Is this all you're struggling with?"

Lin Si sighed, put down the document, leaned back in her chair, and stared blankly at the ceiling.

"General, I understand you now. I really do."

Jing Yuan laughed.

"What did you understand?"

Lin Si's gaze shifted from the ceiling to the pile of documents in front of her, her eyes vacant as if she were looking at something from another dimension.

“Those who call you a ‘blind general’ should really be allowed to try handling these political affairs.”

He paused.

"Seriously. Who could withstand that!"

Jing Yuan's lips twitched, and he reached out to tap his head.

"General Xianzhou's battlefield is not only outside Xianzhou, but also inside Xianzhou."

He pointed to Lin Si's legs.

"When your leg heals in the future, you'll not only have to learn how to handle government affairs, but you'll also have to practice martial arts diligently. Things won't be as 'easy' as they are now."

Upon hearing this, Lin Si sighed, and was about to say something when she suddenly realized what he meant.

He sat up abruptly, his wheelchair swaying slightly. He turned to look at Jing Yuan, his eyes shining like light bulbs.

"General, is there a way to cure my legs?"

Jing Yuan smiled and nodded.

"It's just one approach. Don't have too high hopes. After all, the 'Heavenly Flaw' is a problem that even the Immortal Ship has failed to solve in ten thousand years."

He paused.

"However, this path belongs to Ms. Nguyen Mai, the 81st member of the Genius Club and a genius in the field of life sciences."

Lin Si's pupils dilated slightly.

genius.

These two words carry more weight in the world than any title.

In the Genius Club, each member is someone who has reached the limits of humanity, or rather, intelligent life, in a certain field.

Nguyen Mai is one of only two geniuses in the field of life sciences in the entire history of the genius club.

The other seat was too far forward, and the person in question had already passed away.

Therefore, she is currently the only living person who has the potential to solve the "Heavenly Deficiency".

Lin Si couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

No, I'm really looking forward to it.

His fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of his wheelchair a few times, and his mind began to wander.

Jing Yuan smiled as he looked at his expression.

"Okay, don't think about it too much."

He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then gestured with his chin towards the pile of documents on the table.

"These are the things you should be thinking about right now."

Lin Si's gaze fell on the document, and her expression instantly darkened.

Damn it!

This is something I shouldn't have to deal with at my age!

Jing Yuan watched from the side, a smile never fading from his lips.

"Little Linzi."

"Ok?"

"Do you know what the first thing I did when I was appointed general was?"

Lin thought for a moment.

"A battle was fought?"

"No."

"Reorganize military affairs?"

"No."

"what is that?"

Jingyuan put down his teacup, leaned back in his chair, and spoke casually as if he were saying that the weather was nice today.

"I sat in my study, staring at these documents, and spent the whole day in a daze."

Lin Si was stunned for a moment.

Jingyuan continued,

"I was thinking at the time, do I really need to handle these things? The budget of the Construction Department, the shipping routes of the Shipbuilding Department, the divination of the Astrology Department, each department has its own responsibilities, so why do they all end up coming to me?"

He smiled.

"Later I figured it out. It wasn't because I could do better than them. It was because if something went wrong, I would be the one to take responsibility. So they had to let me know what they were doing."

He looked at Lin Si with a gentle gaze.

"These documents are not for you to 'handle'. They are for you to 'know' about."

Lin Si remained silent for a while, then braced herself and continued looking at the documents.

After a long while, as darkness fell, Lin Si finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"General."

"What's wrong now?"

"Can I request a deputy?"

What kind of deputy do you need?

"The kind of guy I don't have to think about, he just points and he hits exactly where I point."

Are you talking about Yanqing?

"Yanqing won't do; he can't sit still even more than I can."

"Then who do you want?"

"Let me think... are there any robots that can handle government affairs?"

"No."

"Are there any Xianzhou people who can handle government affairs?"

"Have."

"Who?"

"you."

"...Never mind, I didn't ask."

Jing Yuan put down his pen, leaned back in his chair, and looked at Lin Si's face, which was filled with "I don't want to do this anymore," and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Alright, that's enough for today."

Lin Si felt as if she had been granted a pardon, and immediately put down the document in her hand as quickly as if she were throwing away a hot potato.

"Really?"

"Really. Let's continue tomorrow."

Lin Si let out a long breath and pushed her wheelchair toward the door.
