Sharpening the blades-2

Pei Jin was clear of the worries these gentlemen held. He also had far seen this situation when he was planning. Though the situation made it look like they were in pinch he was confident. Unlike the gentlemen's he didn't have anxiety nor fear.

With his calm and composed demeanor he replies "ministers.. ease down.. it's not just huajin who have been preparing all these years.. though your worry is to point.. but benwang has been clear headed with plans when deciding the matters.. from the time benwang was attacked till paralyzed to now.. benwang has been preparing for this war that you all are anxious about.. never had benwang thought nor believed on huajins facade of peace...

Benwang had some matters hidden even though you are benwang's close associates.. because then we had yet to uproot that vile creatures gnawing on our nation like bugs on crops.. even though unable to move ones leg.. benwang never felt loosing to huajin.. and when fortune blessed benwang with ones consort.. not only benwang was cured but also able to prepare smoothly with her support..

For benwang her existence is like descend of goddess of fortune.. not only benwang was able to uproot those vile creatures easily even the disaster from Fuhuang and muhou was removed.. and as long as she is by benwang's side no matter how dirty they play or jump around...it doesn't concern benwang...not to forget benwang's beloved consort feels immense hatred towards the royals and the courtiers of huajin for unknown reason..

Like benwang.. benwang's beloved consort too have been preparing all these years in discretion to uproot the current heads of huajin..now say to benwang do you all feel anxious with their so called preparation and early war.."

All the people were shocked to their core upon hearing Pei Jin. They were confident on Pei Jins way to planning things but to learn that even the lord of valley has been preparing was out of the box. They wanted to know from when she had been preparing and many more questions were dancing in their mind they felt short on words.

But one thing they were sure of was that they didn't need to fear nor be anxious about huajin. Even if they were to face war early with two of the most strongest and intelligent people's preparation.. victory was not a mere thought.

Pei Jin could feel their changes with each one emitting aura of confidence. With his usual smirk he continues "now that have calmed down and know of the situation let's continue...the matter to beasts is the only thing that demands our concerns as for the matter of poison squad benwang is confident that benwang's beloved consort already has solutions.. benwang will contact ones sources proficient in handling beast to manintain the balance...

If benwang guess in right then huajin indeed has someone very skilled and also might have a divine beast in their possessions.. but no need to fret as benwang's consort also has possession of divine beast.. the matter is known to very little may be a plan of hers.. benwang will later discuss if she has some methods to guide our people..

Till then all you shall focus on what we we have at hand.. ministry of trade is to increase our trading in subtle way as not to alert the enemy further.. ministry of finance is to prepare new report for the expenses we will be needing and the amount we should acquire to have the treasury not effected...ministry of work is to continue with the work they are on.. the foritification of barracks and irrigation being the top priority..

with winter on head lots of farmers and laborers will be free with nothing to do...have them added as the extra hand.. with good pay and habited to those area they will be more than willing and capable to resist the nature making it much faster to complete our project..as for other garrisons with sufficient supply and well physiqued soldiers your workload will be halved.. for other three barracks you just need to send few people with full knowledge of construction to oversee the matter.. benwang has long instructed them to prepare for skilled people on stand by to do the manual work..

Then have all the man power pulled for making weapons, armors, siege towers for the army. But all these are secondary if benwang's plan runs smoothly then we will victory over huajin without a war.. but nonetheless being prepared is not wasteful...

Ministry of war is to be in regular contact with general Hong and vice generals...having updates on their progress is a must... have our borders tightened for possible leak of information...stopping their spies will only make them more suspicious thus have them see and believe what we want for them to see and believe.. but do mark out all the spies that enter and have their information shared so that our people can act freely..

Just continue sharpening the blades for now. You can take your leave.. benwang will hold another meeting after verifying some things and if new report come in"

With the assurance and task on hand they leave the place in secret. While Pei Jin also heads toward Yusheng villa to rest. These days with both of them with full hands were unable to spend time with each other. Today will also be nothing more than only sleeping together but for Pei Jin it was more than enough. For when she was near he felt at peace rejuvenating his entire being the next day.
