Start flat, cut off the wife of the five-star empress

Chapter 194 How Much Money Did This Lu Yuan Earn for the Great Zhou Dynasty? !
early morning.

The palace, Chonghua Hall, was brightly lit.

Lu Yuan was sitting on his exclusive chair next to the dragon case, drinking hot soup with his head down and snoring.

Sitting on the throne, Gu Qingwan looked at Lu Yuan who was eating in such a hurry, and couldn't help but feel distressed and said:

"Hey, darling, eat slowly, what's there to worry about!"

be nice?

What a strange name.

Lu Yuan had black lines on his face, this seems to be the address adults use to coax children.

Lu Yuan ate something, and said:

"Finish things early and finish things early, the same thing. Now that you are struggling, you will go to bed late. If you finish this evening early, you can go to bed early."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, Gu Qingwan immediately frowned slightly and said:
"You're sleepy, so sleep now, what's the matter, if it doesn't work tomorrow, it's the day after tomorrow, if it doesn't work the day after tomorrow, it's the day after tomorrow.

Let me see who dares to make irresponsible remarks at that time! "

Lu Yuan looked up at Gu Qingwan, but couldn't help grinning and said:

"No, it can be done at about four or five in the morning. When will your grand pilgrimage start?"

Gu Qingwan looked at Lu Yuan and blinked before saying:

"Generally, the ministers start to enter the palace at 06:30, the official start at [-] o'clock, and generally it ends around [-] o'clock. If there are important matters to be discussed, it will be extended."

After hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded, and then directly dried the bowl of hot soup in his hand.

Then he put down the bowl and chopsticks and said:
"Tomorrow, the Forging Bureau should be able to deliver those parts at seven or eight o'clock. When the parts arrive, sister can directly show them."

After Gu Qingwan blinked, she suddenly said:

"Actually, brother, you can try to install the parts first after they arrive. If there is something wrong, you can change it again. My sister can at least delay them until the afternoon."

Lu Yuan shook his head and looked at Gu Qingwan with a grin:
"No, if I check overnight tonight and find no problem, then there is no problem, just let them come when the time comes."

Seeing such a confident Lu Yuan, Gu Qingwan felt a sense of security inexplicably, then immediately pursed her lips and nodded with a smile:

"Good~"

Afterwards, Lu Yuan continued to dig into the locomotive for inspection.

And after Gu Qingwan stayed with Lu Yuan for a while, she really couldn't stand it anymore.

Tomorrow, Gu Qingwan will get up at four or five o'clock to dress up, and there are still a few hours left, so Gu Qingwan always has to go in and sleep for a while.

Around four or five o'clock in the morning.

Lu Yuan finally jumped off the locomotive.

Although he has a perfect body and is not tired physically, he is extremely tired mentally.

And, really sleepy.

The locomotive has been completely fixed, and there is nothing wrong with it.

A few key parts will be delivered tomorrow and installed, and then a car of coal will be pulled in, and it will be able to start.

After finishing his work, Lu Yuan couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to sleep.

It is definitely not possible to go home now, so I will just sleep here for two or three hours, and when the big court meeting is over, I will start directly.

You don't have to worry about coming back home.

After watching Lu Yuan get off the train, the little eunuchs watching the night immediately said:
"My lord, are you going to rest?"

Lu Yuan nodded and then said:
"Did the emperor tell me where to sleep?"

The little eunuch nodded quickly and said:
"It's been said, the emperor said that he will let you stay in Chonghua Palace."

In Chonghua Hall?

Lu Yuan looked at the little eunuch in a daze.

However, after the little eunuch led Lu Yuan into Chonghua Palace, Lu Yuan knew that he was thinking too much.

Not to go to Gu Qingwan's bedroom, but to the bedroom in another direction of the main hall.

This is similar to the emperor's living room.

For example, the former emperor had a good relationship with a brother, and called him to play chess with him, or admire an antique or something.

Or drink tea, drink something or something, you will be in this room.

However, it is rare for Gu Qingwan to use this room.

After all, Gu Qingwan is only a younger brother, so Gu Lie can't come here at all, and this room has been vacant all the time.

The inside is packed, and the room is warm.

This Chonghua Hall is still heating with spiritual power cores.

Speaking of which, Lu Yuan's family now occasionally burns a kang.

Although this means that the cold winter has passed, but sometimes at night, there are cloudy days or something, and it will still be chilly.

Still have to burn some.

It was frozen outside all night, and as soon as he entered such a warm place, Lu Yuan felt sleepy.

After taking off his clothes and pants, he lay down directly on the bedding that had been prepared.

Don't say it, it's really warm.

Almost a few seconds later, Lu Yuan started snoring.

No way, I'm too tired.

When this person is tired, he tends to snore.

Lu Yuan had just fallen asleep for half an hour when Gu Qingwan woke up.

Nanny, the court ladies immediately rushed into Gu Qingwan's bedroom to help with dressing.

However, Gu Qingwan did not dress up first, but walked out of the bedroom in bright yellow pajamas, came to the main hall and looked at the eunuch at the side.

The eunuch on the side also said quickly:

"Master Lu fell asleep."

Gu Qingwan asked softly:

"When did you sleep?"

There is no need for Gu Qingwan to keep her voice so low, after all, the Chonghua Palace is huge, and Lu Yuan is still sleeping in another room.

And the eunuch saw that Gu Qingwan's voice was very soft, so he quickly lowered his voice and said:

"Just half an hour ago."

After the eunuch finished speaking, he quickly added:
"Grandfather Lu also said that the train is safe. After the parts from the forging bureau are delivered, the emperor can bring the ministers to Chonghua Palace to watch the train."

After listening to what the eunuch said, Gu Qingwan nodded slightly, and didn't say anything else.

Then he walked quickly towards Lu Yuan's room.

As soon as the door was pushed open, Gu Qingwan heard Lu Yuan's snoring.

Hearing this voice, Gu Qingwan muttered a little funny:
"Why is this little thing still snoring?"

The eunuch on the side took the babble and said hastily:

"Maybe he's tired. This Sir was really busy yesterday."

Listening to the eunuch's words, Gu Qingwan's smile decreased a lot, she nodded slightly, and then quietly came to Lu Yuan's side.

The entire hall is covered with heated kangs, but there is no fire underneath.

Lu Yuan was sleeping soundly with his head facing the window.

Gu Qingwan looked at the sleeping Lu Yuan with gentle eyes, and after gently sitting on the side of the bed, Gu Qingwan also lay sideways beside Lu Yuan.

Yushou gently helped Lu Yuan tidy his hair.

Afterwards, Gu Qingwan looked at the oily Lu Yuan, but couldn't help but shook her head, and said with a dumbfounded smile:

"This little thing, it's true, looks like a little tabby cat, so it crawls into my sister's bed when it's dirty.

How will my sister use this quilt from now on~"

The eunuch standing by the bed couldn't help blinking.

This……

The emperor still intends to continue to use the quilt that Lord Lu used?

Ok……

Not to mention dirty or not...

Even if it's not dirty...

The emperor can't use other people's bedding, right?
of course……

The eunuch didn't think much about this matter, after all...

Before this, there was no female emperor in the Great Zhou Dynasty, even the previous emperor asked his brothers to come to the palace to spend the night.

When it's time to sleep, these princes will not stay in the Chonghua Palace, they will sleep elsewhere away from the harem.

After Gu Qingwan stared at the sleeping Lu Yuan for a while.

In the end, with a gentle smile, he straightened the quilt for Lu Yuan, and then he got up and walked towards his bedroom.

It's time to start preparing to go up.

……

At eight o'clock, the Imperial Palace, the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

All the ministers are wearing court uniforms and standing in this huge Hall of Harmony to discuss matters.

Now this weekly big court meeting is basically talking about the banditry in the south and the disasters caused by the winter flood in the south.

However, these two things are no longer a headache.

The banditry in the south, today's battle report is sent again.

Still a big win! !
Unparalleled victory! !

From the moment mortars appeared, banditry in the south seemed to be no more a headache.

However, there are some things that must still see the final effect.

In this way, the banditry in the south will definitely be eradicated in about January.

This time is different.

In the past, the imperial court had to suppress the bandits almost every once in a while, but the bandits are like weeds that regenerate when the spring breeze blows.

But this time is different.

Uprooted this time!
But this time, it can be said that the banditry in the south will not exist for a long time, or even... never will.

The formation of banditry in the south, to put it bluntly, is actually a problem of the imperial court.

If everyone can eat, everyone can live a good life.

Even if there are a few bad-hearted people who want to turn the grass into a bandit, no one will respond.

These bandits in the south are all because the Great Zhou Dynasty was too dark before, and the people really couldn't live on, so many people went up the mountain.

But it will be different from now on.

Lu Yuan's second wave of potatoes has already been harvested.

The yield of potatoes grown in greenhouses in the north alone was already equal to the grain yield of the whole country in the first quarter before the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After this, the common people have something to eat, who would want to be a bandit?

Therefore, the banditry this time is not only simply eliminated on the surface, the most gratifying thing is...there will be no more banditry in the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future!
This is the happiest thing.

And when it comes to potatoes, naturally we have to talk about the winter floods in the south.

During the winter floods in the south, the imperial court was really worried.

If there were no potatoes from Lu Yuan.

It is hard to say what will happen to the people in the south who cannot eat.

But now, it is completely resolved.

This matter can be said to have been perfectly implemented.

The rest is just some finishing work, and the imperial court will help the southern provinces rebuild the disaster areas.

And now, Lu Yuan's train is also coming out.

The railway built from north to south is to be built from the north to these disaster areas first.

At that time, with the smooth opening of the railway, it can be said that Nanfang will be rebuilt in only half a year.

Every time Gu Qingwan heard the news from the ministers below at the court meeting, she would be extremely moved in her heart.

This Lu Yuan was simply given to him by the gods... No, to be precise, it was given to Da Zhou!

"The railway laying, the Ministry of Industry will start preparations immediately after the dismissal of the court today, and cooperate with the local forging bureau to quickly lay the railway."

Gu Qingwan sat on the imperial throne and looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Industry below. After finishing speaking, she turned her head to the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu and said:
"The Ministry of Industry needs money and food, and your Ministry of Households must allocate funds as soon as possible, without any delay."

At this time, the Minister of the Household Department immediately bowed and said:

"Yes, my lord, the household department is absolutely sure that nothing will go wrong."

After the Minister of the Household Department finished speaking.

Everyone in the hall looked at the Minister of the Household Department like a ghost.

No... something is wrong! !

There's something completely wrong with the Hubu Shangshu today! !
How...why don't you cry poor? !
Where are the ministers of the household department in the past dynasties who don't cry for poverty? !

You don't cry for being poor, what kind of household secretary are you?

The job of Shangshu Hubu is actually quite easy to do. If you want to talk about more difficult things, it is crying poor.

When there is no money in the treasury of this country, if the emperor wants to do something, the minister of the household department has to stand up and cry for poverty.

When the treasury of this country is rich, it still has to stand up and cry poor!

I must cry!

It's absolutely impossible not to cry.

It's half a year and the first quarter, when it's time to settle accounts and report, if there is not much money in the treasury, or if the numbers are not good-looking, then the designation will be criticized!

Don't look at how to spend the money in the treasury, how to spend it, it's all up to the emperor.

This money was spent by the emperor, that's right.

But, when the treasury's money books are not looking good, then the emperor will definitely find trouble with your household department.

At that time, the emperor will never admit it.

After all, there is not much money left in the national treasury. If this kind of thing gets out, the common people are going to say what is going on today.

This makes the common people call the Son of Heaven, okay?

This is not good, so the household department has to take the blame.

But it can't be memorized all the time, so every time the emperor wants to spend a lot of money, the minister of the household department has to come out and cry for a while.

In this way, when the emperor sees that he has less money and wants to settle accounts after the fall, this will save him from being scolded for a while, right?

You see, I said that there was no money and no money at that time, and your emperor insisted on doing this, which is not a fault of my household department.

It's all old tradition.

Everyone knows it well.

This has been done throughout the ages.

Just like when the railway was going to be laid in the north, the Minister of the Household Department, who could cry poorly, almost hit his head to death in the Hall of Harmony.

But this time...

Everyone was full of question marks.

Something is wrong! !
There is only one reason why the Minister of the Household Department is not crying for poverty, and that is...

The money in the treasury this year... is almost fucking overflowing!
Everyone also knows that the recent bicycles and threshers are very profitable, but no one knows how much they earn.

Even the cabinet has to submit the half-yearly and quarterly account books from the Ministry of Households to know.

It is now two months before the Ministry of Households pays the account book, and the cabinet is not sure how much money the country's treasury has had in these four months.

But look at this... there must be many, many!
To know……

The money spent on building railways in the south is much higher than that in the north.

The railway project in the south will be divided into three phases. For the first phase of the project, the emperor asked the Ministry of Households to allocate 700 million yuan to the Ministry of Industry.

This second and third period, I'm afraid it will be indispensable.

When the cabinet was drawn up yesterday, the calculated account was 800 million.

Just this one railway is 800 million.

Although the money given by the cabinet is not final, it is not bad.

This southern railway is really expensive!
In the north, this is almost finished, and it is only less than 500 million. In the south, it is basically doubled.

but……

At that time, when the northern railway cost 300 million yuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Households cried miserably, as if his own child had died.

but now……

You don't even blink if you want 700 million? ?

its not right! !

In the past six months, how much money did Lu Yuan earn for the Great Zhou Dynasty? !
　Thanks for the 1112 book coin reward for the harsh brother 500, thank you very much~
　　Thanks to Brother Mu Quanji and the naming is too difficult to calculate, my brother's reward of 100 book coins, thank you very much~
