The rise of the prince

Chapter 764 The layout after the Mid-Autumn Festival
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Household Department Department wrote to Tongzhou, Mingzhou, Wenzhou, Hangzhou, Fuzhou, Quanzhou and other places to report household registrations in previous years. There may be omissions, and it is necessary to send people from the Household Department Department to each prefecture to check one by one.

Coincidentally at this time, the Duzhi Division also pointed out that there were omissions in the tax statistics of these states in the past years, and it was necessary to send people from the Duzhi Division to the southern states to re-audit.

Ten people can see the problem with this surprisingly consistent caliber, but the emperor nodded, and the states can't help it. The comer is not good, so they can only concentrate on dealing with it.

Xue Fang and Tang Zhou's move greatly eased the pressure on Li Xingzhou. The officials of the Ministry of Rites still had trouble with him from time to time, and there were often quarrels in the court, but as long as the matter was in the court, the emperor would protect him, and Li Xingzhou was not afraid at all.

Degong is in the political affairs hall, all the excerpts have to go through his hands first, add annotations, extract the main content and then hand it over to the emperor. For the excerpts that are not good for Li Xingzhou, Degong can modify and weaken the meaning of the excerpts. The meaning of the excerpts has not changed, but The emperor felt different after seeing it.That's why the use of Degong's influence is so great that he can talk to the emperor at any time, and can also affect the emperor's attitude to a certain extent.

As for the affairs outside the court, De Gong, Xue Fang, and Tang Zhou were able to block him, so Li Xingzhou could concentrate on thinking about the north.

In his heart, Li Xingzhou is very grateful to Degong, Xue Fang, Tang Zhouwei and others, and the team centered on him has gradually emerged.

But there is one thing.
It was raining at night outside the house, and the old trees in the yard had lost their dead leaves, leaving only bare trunks that were bleak in the wind. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather began to turn cooler.

Li Xingzhou was sitting in front of the window, the window was only open with a gap, and the dim candle light flickered slightly. Gillian was pregnant and couldn't bear the cold. Gently stroking Gillian's lower abdomen, it seemed that a kind of blood flowed into his heart.

Gillian is very well-behaved, she is always what he says, lying quietly in his arms, it seems that he is her whole world, she used to be a delicate and talented girl, but now she has a lot more maternal brilliance.

Now A-Jiao still has to go to school to give lectures to the children, and she is a bit more busy. Because of her pregnancy, he once told A-Jiao not to go. It is rare for A-Jiao not to listen to him. She said that being with the children feels good.

Li Xingzhou is inexperienced, but Shiyu immediately arranged for someone to invite an experienced woman to take care of A-Jiao, and the Xiangfu also sent a doctor to take care of her. Now there are at least a dozen people around A-Jiao every day. Fuchu baby.

However, there was one thing that Li Xingzhou was hesitating about, and that was Gillian's father, his father-in-law, the eldest son of Duke De, the prefect of Ningjiang, Wang Tong.

His father-in-law can recite poems and compose Fu, but he can't do practical things
Probably because of the son of the Xuanhe family, he has never experienced the sufferings of the world, does not understand the accidents of the human heart, is too bookish, and is too far away from his father's moral tolerance.

Ningjiang Mansion is a very important big mansion in the north of Kaiyuan, and it is an important point in the north. Because a lot of food is transferred and the army dispatches have to pass through Ningjiang Mansion, it is very important for the Northern Expedition. He is very worried that his father-in-law is in charge of Ningjiang Mansion.

He hinted at De Gong several times in private, but De Gong avoided talking about it, and deliberately changed the subject. After all, people are protecting their weaknesses. No matter how incompetent Wang Tong is, he is still De Gong's son and heir.

Li Xingzhou can't help it, because of love, De Gong is benevolent to him, Wang Tong is still his father-in-law, Yu Li, De Gong also helped him too much.

This was a headache for him. He originally wanted Wang Ke and Xie Linjiang to be in Ningjiang Mansion.

Recently, there are many things that make him feel comfortable. Wei Chaoren's big victory is the top priority. In addition, the Second Division of the New Army has also begun to receive new equipment.

The first division of the navy has completed its first sea training. With experience, it will be much easier in the future.

The Xia Kingdom sent back good news. Li Ji, the lord of the Xia Kingdom, agreed to return Tang Long Town unconditionally. Taking back Tang Long Town is bound to be another piece of news that encourages the whole country.

Last year's destruction of the Liao Kingdom, this year's defeat of the Jin Kingdom, and the recovery of Tanglong Town, one after another exciting news, each great achievement, will definitely push the prestige of the emperor's grandson Li Xingzhou to a new level.The hearts of the people all over the world will lean towards him even more.

Involuntarily, I squeezed A-Jiao's smooth little hand gently, looking at her beautiful side face, I felt a sense of pride, and silently suppressed it in my heart, I couldn't help but read slowly, "The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow."

A-Jiao looked up at him, Li Xingzhou smiled, and kissed her small face, and immediately the face was illuminated by the lights, making it very pink and alluring.

"It's all in the past, count the romantic figures, and look at the present!"

It's all over. This has too much extra meaning for him.

"Your Highness, what kind of prose sentences are these? They sound majestic and majestic, but they seem intermittent." A-Jiao's eyes sparkled, and she liked words and sentences the most.

Li Xingzhou didn't speak, and hugged her tighter, the rainy season outside the house was sparse, the cold wind was cold, it was late autumn before he knew it.

"Father, when are we going back?" In the post house, Zhe Weizhong was carefully playing with a rifle he got from the new army, and the third son who was with him asked while sorting out the things he brought back.

"I actually want to go back, but His Highness is too enthusiastic, so I don't want to leave early." Zhe Weizhong said and pulled his son's arm: "San'er, come over and have a look at this thing called a rifle."

"This thing looks really strange." The third son put down his work and came to look curiously.

"Don't just look at it's unusual appearance. This afternoon, His Highness and I were at the New Army Academy, and His Highness showed me that this thing can easily penetrate iron armor at a distance of two or three hundred steps." Zhewei said loyally with lingering fear.

"What! Two or three hundred steps, Dad, you must not be blind and misread."

"Your father and I can shoot through Yang at a hundred paces with a bow, how could we be wrong!" Hearing his son's question, he was very upset, "I can see clearly, the first target is at a hundred paces, and the second one is at least 150 paces. , the third is more than [-] steps, and the farthest is at least [-] steps!
With your old man's eyesight, let alone a target the size of a person who can't move, I can clearly estimate even a rabbit from such a far away place. "

Now his San'er was even more surprised, "It's so far away, even a bed crossbow may not be able to penetrate through it, let alone such a small thing?"

Zhe Weizhong nodded, "That's why I feel terrible."

"How's the head?"

"The farthest target, the prince, hit it three times." Zhe Weizhong said: "It can replace the projectile as fast as a crossbow, or even faster, because it doesn't require much effort."

"Effortless? Then how can you store so much power?" The third son was even more puzzled. After all, in his mind, long-range weapons must be stored like a crossbow before they can be released.

"You ask me, who do I ask?" Zhe Weizhong said: "The prince said that in the next one or two years, all the [-] to [-] new troops will change into this thing!"

"That's worth it!"
