Douluo Continent: Reincarnated Dan Heng Drinks the Moon, Gu Yuena Pursues Him

Chapter 124 Selecting Talents

In the evening, when Gu Yuena returned home, she happened to run into Xue Qinghe, who then came to visit her with a large piece of pork.

During this period, Xue Qinghe was busy dealing with matters related to the Enfeoffment Decree, so he didn't visit much.

It should be over now, so I came over immediately to "mooch a meal".

Gu Yuena welcomed her and led her inside, then introduced her to Brigitte.

Biji glanced at "Xue Qinghe" with surprise.

Because of her exceptionally clear perception of life, Brigitte discovered the truth that "Xue Qinghe" was actually a woman.

Xue Qinghe was unaware of Bi Ji's miraculous abilities and offered a few words of praise.

Zi Ji immediately became displeased and pouted, "You sycophant, why don't you have anything to say to praise me when you see me?"

Zi Ji stared at Xue Qinghe with a deep look, as if she wouldn't give up until she got an explanation.

Xue Qinghe chuckled softly and shook his head, saying, "Miss Ziji is clever and beautiful, even more striking. At the time, her beauty left me speechless, and I forgot to praise her..."

"You pass!" Zi Ji snorted.

These days she has noticed that Brigitte is being used more than she is.

This made her feel frustrated, and she was thinking about how to make her lord change his mind.

While Gu Yuena and Xue Qinghe were chatting, she pulled Biji, who was about to pour tea for the two of them, out of the room.

Brigitte looked at Ziji with a puzzled expression.

"Purple Princess, why did you come out?"

Zi Ji said smugly, "You've just arrived in the human world, so you don't know yet. I have to give you a few words of advice."

"What?" Brigitte asked curiously.

Zi Ji couldn't resist showing off, her eyebrows dancing with excitement, and said, "You don't know yet, do you? That Xue Qinghe is the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire, and this house was a gift from him!"

"So, my lord... sister, you must maintain this relationship. Since you, Biji, are so sensible and have received praise from Xue Qinghe, why don't you go back to the Crown Prince's residence with him for my lord's sake?"

Zi Ji rolled her eyes, thinking that if she sent Bi Ji to the Crown Prince's residence, then Bi Ji would have no rivals!

Brigitte hesitated. "If my sister wants me to do this, then I will definitely do it."

"But……"

Biji thought to herself, "Xue Qinghe" is clearly a woman, how could she possibly accept her? Isn't she afraid of being discovered?

Although they had just met, Biji keenly sensed that "Xue Qinghe" was hiding a great secret.

"Leave the rest to me!" Zi Ji patted her chest, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes.

The Lord's favor, the old lecher's meals... they'll all be hers from now on!

She wouldn't allow Brigitte to compete with her!

……

The food was served quickly, a table full of delicious dishes, the steam and aromas mingling together, making one's mouth water.

Of the group, only Dan Heng ate the most elegantly, while the chopsticks of the other women seemed to be flickering.

Even Brigitte learned from Gu Yuena; she picks up food very quickly, like a whirlwind.

Zi Ji was so angry that she grimaced and muttered to herself: "They have to be sent away! They can eat too much!"

The food on the table was gone in no time.

Xue Qinghe then explained his purpose and smiled, "Mr. Danheng, the decree of grace you have given is truly the most ingenious strategy in the history of Douluo Continent."

"We've been pushing this out for a while now, and it's going very smoothly. Although it's an open scheme, those who benefit from it have been very cooperative."

"Mr. Danheng, I have prepared a small gift for you..."

Xue Qinghe raised his hand, about to release the contents of his storage soul tool, when Dan Heng stopped him.

"No need." Dan Heng frowned, his tone leaving no room for argument.

Xue Qinghe sighed. Dan Heng had already said that, and she knew his temper, so she didn't dare to force him.

"Mr. Danheng, I am truly ashamed... Moreover, to be honest, I have come here this time to ask you some questions."

Xue Qinghe said somewhat embarrassedly.

Dan Heng had no objection to this. Xue Qinghe was very reliable and had promised to keep it a secret for him. At least it hadn't been leaked yet.

To make a "transaction" with the other party, and to restore a peaceful life with some insights.

He felt he made a great deal.

"What's wrong?" Dan Heng asked.

Biji blinked. She realized Xue Qinghe's identity: the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire. So he would actually ask his brother-in-law for advice?

Brigitte became even more curious about this "brother-in-law".

"The thing is, if the Grace Edict is implemented, many officials will be needed to govern it. However, almost all officials are nobles, and there aren't that many of them. We thought we could have those nobles recommend talented people, but most of them are unwilling..."

Xue Qinghe could understand those nobles.

Just like if someone wanted to ask her for Danheng, she would absolutely not agree.

Brigitte frowned slightly, pondering how to persuade the nobles to provide talented individuals.

Dan Heng stated directly, "There's no need to focus solely on nobles. It seems there's no requirement for officials in the Heavenly Dou Empire to be nobles. Let's recruit from the common people, establish an imperial examination system, select officials by subject, and choose talented individuals..."

"well?"

"If those fiefdoms lack officials, they can be found locally; there is no need to obtain them from other nobles."

Dan Heng spoke calmly.

These were things he had read in books before; they were considered basic historical knowledge about the planet.

If placed in the Douluo Continent, it could solve a problem for the Heaven Dou Empire.

Xue Qinghe was stunned for a moment, then realized, "Oh, why was she staring at the nobles all this time?"

She suddenly stood up, wishing she could hug Danheng right now and give him a big kiss.

Why couldn't she think of that?

Such a direct and effective method!

She subconsciously bent down, but heard Gu Yuena chuckle and say, "Your Highness, there's no need for that. You've already shown our family enough kindness."

Xue Qinghe chuckled sheepishly, realizing he had gotten carried away.

Looking at Dan Heng, he was neither humble nor arrogant, completely unconcerned about his casual remark.

Immediately, she learned to calm down.

Seeing this, Zi Ji raised her hand and said, "Sister, His Highness is so kind to us, shouldn't we give him a gift too?"

Gu Yuena was taken aback. When did Zi Ji start getting involved in such matters?

"What gift?"

Xue Qinghe was somewhat flattered and waved his hand, saying, "I am deeply indebted to Mr. Danheng..."

"Let's give Brigitte to His Highness. Brigitte is so caring; let His Highness take her away!"

Zi Ji chuckled as she spoke.

"Huh?!" Brigitte looked at Murasaki with a completely bewildered expression.

Gu Yuena's face stiffened. "Get out!"

Zi Ji was overjoyed and nudged Bi Ji, saying, "Did you hear that, Bi Ji? You'll leave with His Highness later!"

"I'm talking about you!" Gu Yuena said through gritted teeth.

Murasaki's joy seemed to have been paused, abruptly ending.

Seeing Gu Yuena's frightening expression, she dared not act rashly.

They left the table dejectedly and obediently.

Sensing the serious atmosphere of the family, Xue Qinghe awkwardly took his leave.
