the generals and the chaos problem
The next day Haiyang came to the palace to carry out his inauguration directly as a new general in the red dragon army.
The event was attended by the palace officials and 5 high generals from the 5 Qin imperial troops.
The five forces were formed by Lan wu, known as the 5 main forces of chaos who have different duties and responsibilities.
**
The five armies consisted of the red dragon army, the black dragon army, the purple dragon army, the golden dragon army, and the silver dragon army.
The red dragon army is tasked with the main line to eradicate rebels or enemies from outside and has the authority to decide on life from the cup.
The black dragon army specialized in stealth investigation both in enemy territory, cities, and areas within the palace.
The purple dragon army had the task of guarding the borders of the Qin imperial territory at three points which were the borders of the Qin imperial territory and other empires.
The silver dragon army was a heavy army tasked with maintaining security in the trade routes of the Qin empire or foreign trade.
To become a member of the silver dragon army at least required cultivation of the early saint level. And have sharp analytical and thinking skills.
That was why the silver dragon army numbered around 700 people where the jumblah was still far from enough.
The latter was an army of golden dragons tasked with guarding the imperial family members and being the closest army to the emperor.

"General Yanjun of the black dragon army has arrived..!" Shouted the message conveyer to Lan wu on her throne.
"General Congming of the purple dragon army has arrived..!"
"General Zunjing of the silver dragon army entered the palace..!"
"General Hugin of the golden dragon army has come..!" Shouted the messenger then bowed before Lan Wu then stood firmly in front of the entrance of the palace.
"Hail your honor" said the four generals saluted.
"Please sit down, I didn't think you guys would have the free time to attend my call quickly" Lan wu said, smiling happily.
The generals then sat in the seats that had been provided.
"The reason why I called you is because of the execution of the red dragon general and to introduce himself to you" Lan Wu said, telling Haiyang to get close to him.
"Hu Haiyung, I as the emperor appointed you as the general of the red dragon army. Duties and responsibilities you must take seriously.
If you make a mistake then I will punish you according to the rules of immorality, if you achieve the feat in your duty then I will give you the reward that is worth it" lan wu said as she stood up and thrust the badge at Haiyung.
"Thank you, your majesty, I promise to work hard and will not disappoint you..!" Haiyung replied with a stern tone.
The guests present now clapped their hands signifying that they had no qualms with Lan wu's choice.
Haiyung now moved back to her place as Lan wu raised the glass to a toast.
"For my new general, the loyalty of all of you, and the peace of the QIN empire..!" Shouted Lan wu with a loud tone.
"Life the Qin empire...! Hail your majesty Lan wu..!" Reply to the people in that place simultaneously.
"Until now the border area is still under control, although sometimes there are some outside groups who want to enter secretly but it is still a matter of course" Chongming said shortly before sipping his wine.
"Then what about the inflammatory situation of chaos, General Zunjing?" Lan wu asked in a relaxed tone.
"As your majesty knows, lately orders and turnover from trading are declining. Aside from the few families that did the dirty, as for the 5-colored pavilion that ruled the trade route." Clearly Zunjing with a depressed expression.
"You don't have to take care of it, your job is to keep the trade routes and the noble merchant families safe..." Said Lan wu looking at the expression from Zunjing.
"Honestly the 5-color pavilion blatantly monopolized the trade routes in the Qin empire. Your Excellency in my opinion we should collect a decent tax from them" Yanjun said.
"I agree with General Yanjun's proposal" continued Hugin and other generals expressed their opinions.
"I see...yet, what is the response from the community if we press them with taxes? Fearfully they did plan this to smooth out their plans." Lan wu smiled faintly.
"Is there nothing we can do?" Said Hugin who looked annoyed.
"Of course there is, raise the taxes of the four cities to 5 times, push them with force.." explained Lan wu made the people astonished.
"Your highness.this.."
"What are you afraid of General Hugin? With that kind of pressure, two things happen. First, the mayor will come to me to ask for a policy.
And it will indirectly affect the economy there so that some smart people will divert their money from the 5-color pavilion and use it for themselves.
The second, 5-colored pavilions would provide assistance to all four cities to gather alliances. However, in those four cities not all of them would support 5-color pavilions.
There will be a delivery between 2 groups. The focus of the 5-color pavilion will be divided and at that time, we will move" explained Lan wu who was thought about for quite a while by the people.
"That was the perfect plan" the defense minister affirmed Lan wu's words.
**
The next day the resource minister sent an envoy to 4 cities to deliver Lan wu's message on the tax increase.
The generals have resumed their duties in their respective places. There was only Lan Wu who was still inside the palace to take care of her workers.
"Heh.bocah, it seems like you are no longer a free man.hehehehe" said a voice inside Lan wu's head.
"Ho.. apparently an old lion, did you not have any work until you contacted me by telepathy?" Lan wu's question instantly turned into spirit.
"certain. I was so bored in my cave that I called you to talk"
"What's the situation in the god realm?" Lan wu asked as she checked the sheets that were piling up high on her desk.
"Very calm.oh, it's a long time ago. I have an old friend" the demon lion's sergeant ended his telepathy
"Sadly.basically at will" maki Lan wu in an annoyed tone.
"Huf.....how are the circumstances of brother Ling and grandfather knowing?" Said Lan wu who leaned her body with a tired look.
"In addition to the organization of the blood mask, now comes the problem of the 5-color pavilion again. It seems I should look for an opportunity to pay a visit to the god sword.." thought Lan wu slowly closing her eyes.
