Chapter 93 – Internal Conflict
During the private talk, Sima Fang agreed to let his children work for Tong once they grew up. However, Tong had to provide them with a tutor and a proper education for them while they were still young.
For this condition, Lu Zhi was asked by Tong to be their mentor as he could not return to the Capital anytime soon. Tong whispered to him in secret and told him that Sima Yi was a genius who had promising potentials. Lu Zhi accepted happily because he enjoyed teaching promising youths.
Sima Fang did not complain about this arrangement. He entrusted his children to Lu Zhi.
…
Tong returned to his room with a slight headache. The pain came back during the negotiation with Sima Fang, and the condition persisted until now.
'What in the world is this headache? If it isn't because of the skill of Sunday, I would have thought that I have a brain tumor or cancer.'
Hua Shi, who had been lazing around in the room, saw Tong's condition and his pale face. She licked her lips in anticipation.
'Every time he has that headache, he'll become a beast in bed. It's going to be an all-night entertainment again. Ufufu.'
…
April 3rd.
An uproar took place in the morning assembly at the government hall this morning. Because Tong introduced the Justice Department and the new director, everyone was shocked.
Despite the troubles that Sima Fang could inflict upon the government staffs and himself, Zhang Jiao approved of this promotion. He also wanted someone to put a rein on the old and new officials, so they could not be easily tempted by the authority they had and committed any unethical act.
Lu Zhi volunteered to assist his junior, who was still new to this city, as the deputy director of the Department of Justice. The other staffs in this division would be recruited personally by Sima Fang himself.
Ten thousand garrison troops would be transferred to the department and converted into the new unit called ”Police”. They would no longer participate in any battle beyond the gate or outside of the walls, but they would be the first to act if there was an incident within the city.
The remaining ten thousand garrisons, including Zhou Cang, would be stationed outside the gate as another combat battalion.
Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang, and Bo Cai were summoned back into the city to inform them the news of the changes. They had to entrust the new recruit training to their deputies and returned.
Hua Shi gazed at Tong in worried.
”Will this be alright? Sima Yi's sons will backstab you in the future. Are you fine with it?”
WIthout cares, Tong had a smug look on his face.
”Let them coup if they can. Until then, I'll make them work their ass out for me. Besides, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao will only rebel once the country is at its strongest. Once we unified China, we'll worry about it later.”
'I doubt I'll be here that long anyway. I'll be summoned back to netherworld in a few years ...'
'I feel bad for my subordinates. But I have no choice.'
'I'll lay a strong foundation for this city. I'll use all my lifespan to create more food.'
'After I leave, father and the rest should be fine on their own.'
'As for Sunday, I should take her with me.'
'I hope Friday allow a mistress ... or else, I'm fOOked.'

Outside of the City, Yuan Family camp.
Tian Feng received the intel from the inside of the city today. It was the information about the SE shops and WM shops that had been opened recently.
After he finished reading all of the reports, he chased away all servants and was left alone in his tent.
'Zhang Tong is selling his spice to his citizens at 10% of the market price while he is selling them for us at 20%. All merchants without Julu citizen identification have to buy it at full price …'
'All items from the shops are provided by Zhang Tong himself. All source of these products is nowhere to be found …'
'Just like what that man had said, we were deceived …'
'Then we have two choices, one is to buy everything Zhang Tong has. If we cannot clear out his items, we pick the choice number two, sell the concession to the others.'
