Chapter 1308 Famine and Natural Disaster 467

"As soon as possible." Since he wanted to do this business and everything was ready, Fan Qingzhi made a decisive decision, "The glass workshop is only partially completed, so we will use the completed part first; speed up the construction of the rest. If there are not enough people to build it, tell Chaosheng and ask him to transfer some troops to help."

As the imperial court stopped allocating food and salaries to the Northwest Army, it was no longer an army of the imperial court.

The Zhou Palace maintains an army of 200,000. These 200,000 troops belong to the Zhou Palace, making it very convenient for the Zhou court to deploy troops.

"Row."

On that day, Mingyi handed a letter to Steward Luo, who sent it to the military camp at full speed.

After reading the letter, Zhou Ting immediately sent General Wude to dispatch 500 soldiers back to the city.

General Wude was confused when he received the military order. Why send troops back to the city in the middle of winter? As a result, when he heard that the military order was for him to take the troops back and obey Master Cheng's orders, his heart, which had been in turmoil, was at ease.

Mr. Cheng is not a troublesome person. He acts steadily and is trustworthy.

"The last general takes orders."

Zhou Ting gave him a handwritten letter and said, "Give it to Master Cheng when you get back. Take a closer look at the changes in Fucheng and talk to me about it in detail when you come back."

"Here."

General Wude immediately led 500 soldiers back to the city and arrived at Fucheng Palace at 3:30 in the afternoon.

The sudden return of the soldiers without any news made Butler Luo panic; thinking something had happened, he hurried out to ask, only to find out that it was the soldiers sent back by his master to serve Miss Cheng.

"Do not be nervous, Steward Luo. This general and others are all following the orders of the Marshal. I wonder if Master Cheng is free. This general needs to meet Master Cheng."

Steward Luo nodded and winked at the steward who was accompanying him, "Okay, General Wude, take the soldiers to fill their stomachs and warm up first. I will go and ask for instructions. Dazhu, please invite General Wude and the soldiers into the mansion to rest."

"Yes." The steward called Dazhu was a middle-aged man. He stepped forward and made a gesture with one hand, "General Wude, please come in. All the soldiers, please come in."

"It's Mr. Luo, the butler." General Wude waved his hand and led his men to follow the butler Dazhu into the mansion through the side door.

Butler Luo stood there pondering for a moment. He thought over and over again but couldn't figure out the purpose of his young master suddenly sending someone back. He turned and walked through the small door of the palace, and then his confused mind suddenly came to an idea.

That's it!

These people were sent to Miss Cheng and they obeyed her orders. Miss Cheng was in charge of the wool workshop and the glass workshop. The wool workshop did not need so many people, but the glass workshop had not been completed yet, so I guess they would be needed.

A sudden enlightenment is like a sudden enlightenment.

This matter could not be delayed, so he quickened his pace. Normally it would take him a quarter of an hour to reach Tao Yiyuan; today it only took him half the time.

"Chun Liu, is Miss Cheng free?"

Chunliu, who was cleaning the yard, heard the noise, looked back, and immediately laughed, "Butler Luo, when did you come?"

"I just arrived. Miss Cheng, is it convenient for you to see me?" Butler Luo continued to ask.

"The young lady is reading a book now, please come in." Knowing that this person has nothing to do and can't come, Chun Liu led her outside the house with familiarity; Steward Luo was waiting outside, she entered the master bedroom, and Chun Liu bowed to the small study behind the beaded curtain, "Hello, young lady, Steward Luo came to see you."

Mingyi immediately put down the book and strode over, "Where is Butler Luo?"

"To answer your question, young lady, Butler Luo is outside the door." Chunliu turned sideways and let Mingyi look outside the door.

Mingyi looked over and saw Steward Luo walking from the door to the middle. Mingyi saw him at a glance, "Standard Luo, please come in. You are here now. Is there a reply from the prince?" "Your servant is here to see Miss Chengguo."

"Get up."

"Thank you, young lady." Butler Luo straightened up and replied, "Young lady, the prince has sent back 500 people, led by General Wude. He said those people are for your use. Now, they are resting in the mansion. Do you want to meet General Wude?"

Mingyi nodded quickly, still needing help, "Wait until General Wude has eaten and drunk well before bringing people over."

After hearing what she said, Butler Luo knew what was going on. "Yes, I'll take my leave then."

"Chun Liu, please see Butler Luo off."

"Yes." Chun Liu personally sent the person out of the yard, and watched the person walk away before returning to the yard to continue cleaning.

Chunmei waited on Mingyi. When she saw her sitting at the table, she returned to the study to get her the book she hadn't finished reading. She also poured her some hot tea and brought it to her. "My lord, with General Wude watching over us, the glass workshop should be completed soon. It seems that the prince knows how to use people well."

Mingyi held a book in his hand, looked up and smiled at her.

"Look how happy you are. The colored glaze workshop will be put into use first. I can rest assured that General Wude will be watching over the rest."

General Wude was well-known for his integrity. He was a capable and conscientious person, serious in his work and reliable in his actions. Otherwise, Zhou Ting would not have sent him back. It can be seen that between General Wude and General Wulue, Zhou Ting preferred General Wude.

"Hehe." Chunmei said with a smile: "The prince is really good to you. He agrees to everything you ask for and never refuses. He always responds to your requests."

Mingyi glanced at her, and the smile in his eyes faded. "Your Highness is doing this for the people, for the Northwest Army, and for the world, not for me."

Chunmei's heart skipped a beat and she quickly apologized.

"Master, please forgive me. I said something wrong. Your Highness is wholeheartedly devoted to the country and the people. Everything you do is beneficial to the people. Your Highness will definitely support you."

"Ah."

Mingyi doesn't like others to use personal feelings to confuse official business.

Chunmei knew what was going on, and she spoke in a more open manner, no longer using personal feelings to talk about things; other girls might like others to mention how much their partners valued them, but her master didn't care. Indeed, she saw the feelings of the prince towards her master, and there was no need to talk about it all the time.

"Master, it is my fault. I shouldn't have used you and the prince as an excuse. Please calm down, Master."

Admit your mistakes immediately.

Ming Yi was quite satisfied. "Public affairs are public affairs, and private affairs are private affairs. As long as it is beneficial to the people and the world, and does not harm the Northwest Army, your prince will not refuse to respond. As the head of the Northwest, he has always been fair and strict, and considering the people's livelihood is his lifelong homework. Don't let me hear that the prince will always respond to me in the future."

If you say it too much and it becomes fluent, once it gets out, it will give people the impression that the prince is indulging in love affairs.

The ancient times were not like the modern times. In modern times, people can just laugh it off. But in the ancient times, if these words were to spread, it would have a great impact on Zhou Ting's reputation. As he was in a high position, many people were watching him.

"Yes, please keep this in mind, slave."

Seeing that she really knew she was wrong, Ming Yi softened her tone and said, "Alright, just remember that your mouth is for saying useful things, not nonsense. Do you understand?"

"I understand. I won't dare to do it again."

Mingyi waved her hand and asked her to go outside to serve, and the matter was over.
