Li Chenan looked at Cheng Zhe in astonishment, then grinned for a moment.

Cheng Zhe stamped his feet, shook off the snow, rubbed his frozen face, and laughed innocently.

"My appearance is a bit funny, but I have fulfilled my duties and will never embarrass the Emperor!"

"Last night, not even a dog appeared in front of this door. Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

Li Chenan is worried!
Since he didn't return home last night, he had to think about how he would explain it if Xiao Baozi and the others asked.

"Let's go."

"Where?"

Li Chenan thought for a while and decided that it would not be appropriate to return to Meiyuan at this time.

"Go to the palace."

"it is good."

"You can go change some clothes later."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

"By the way, you must pay close attention to the artillery matter. When we get to the palace, I will write you a note. You go to the Ministry of War to find Han Yue, the Minister of War, and choose the right person first."

"I want someone who is strong and has excellent eyesight."

"After selecting the people, go to the Ordnance Department to ask Zhao Sanmu for two cannons and artillery shells, and step up training..."

"The world is not peaceful, and there is no telling when war will break out."

"Time is tight and the task is heavy. I will leave this matter to you!"

Cheng Zhe bowed his hand and said:
"I...will live up to the emperor's trust!"

……

……

Royal study room.

Wen Boyu always felt a little weird looking at Li Chenan.

The emperor came to the imperial study room early for the first time today.

He looks pretty good, but why do his eyes look a little wandering today?
This is thoughtful.

He is the emperor and works hard for state affairs, so it is normal for him to have some worries.

It's just... why is the hand holding the teacup he handed over trembling slightly?
Li Chenan felt a little guilty.

After all, Wen Boyu's daughter was married just last night.

Now it seems that Wen Xiaowan did not return to the garden after leaving Jiuyulou, because Wen Boyu's expression was as usual, and he did not interfere with such a big matter.

Li Chen calmed down and looked at his father-in-law, "Didn't you agree to go to court in the morning?"

"It's such a cold day, why don't you get more sleep?"

Wen Boiyu felt warm in his heart and said with a smile:

"I am also in my forties. I slept more in the past thirty years, but now I don't sleep much anymore."

"I didn't expect that the emperor would come so early today. I went to Guiyuan last night and waited for a long time for the emperor to come back..."

Wen Zhuyu looked at Li Chenan while holding a tea cup.

Li Chenan felt guilty, lowered his head, and pretended to make tea.

"Ah... something happened last night. Why are you waiting for me?"

Wen Boyu looked at the young emperor and became more and more happy.

"emperor,"

"The memorial from Bei Mo Dao has been sent back immediately."

"The most serious snow disaster on Beimo Road this year is in Youzhou, and Huaibei County is the worst!"

"The Ningzhi Road that the Emperor ordered Youzhou Magistrate Tian Xiurong to build when he was in Youzhou... Judging from the memorial, it seems that Magistrate Tian is quite capable."

"In just five months, the roadbed has been dug out. It is said that after the ice and snow melt in the coming year, the mountains will be dug to pave the road."

"Although this road is only a shadow at present, it can already pass carriages. Magistrate Tian wrote a letter saying that there are more than 65,000 people in Huaibei County. He has raised some grain and transported it to Huaibei County through Ningzhi Road to relieve the victims."

"He guaranteed that more than 65,000 people in Huaibei County would not starve to death, but he could not guarantee that they would not freeze to death!"

"Because there are no cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold!"

"But the day after his memorial was sent, I received another memorial from him... It was to thank the Holy Grace!"

Li Chenan was startled, why is Tian Xiurong thanking me?

Wen Boyu looked at Li Chenan with eyes full of approval!

There is nothing wrong with assisting this emperor!
Mingjun!
He will definitely become an emperor through the ages!
By following him, ministers like myself can also be remembered as wise ministers in the history books!
Don't look at him being out of tune all day long, but everything he does is related to people's livelihood! He perfectly explained what it means to predict the future and what it means to prepare for a rainy day!

Who would have thought of building a Ningzhi Road in Youzhou?

No one would have thought that the snow disaster in Beimo Road this year would fall in Youzhou!

But the emperor had already expected it!

The emperor also has a pair of discerning eyes!
Tian Xiurong had many bad deeds in the past, and he should at least be dismissed from office, but when the emperor passed through Youzhou, he saw the good qualities in this man!
Perhaps inspired by the emperor's sincerity, Magistrate Tian really changed his mind and became a new person for a while.

Judging from the information from the Imperial City Supervisory Bureau, Tian Xiurong has been really conscientious in his work as an official in the past six months.

Not only did he personally build the Ningzhi Road, the Imperial City Secretary said that he had traveled all over Youzhou in the past six months.

Especially I go to Youdu County the most.

This man has some tricks up his sleeve. Xiuning Zhidao did not ask for a penny from the court!

He actually called on those salt merchants to raise a huge amount of money!
He also used the money to buy autumn grain in Youdu County... Youdu County had a good harvest, and the harvested grain was stored in a temporary granary built in Yanjing City.

There was a heavy snowstorm in Huaibei County, and these grains came in handy!

But the emperor quietly did another big thing.

"Your Majesty, are you still hiding this from me?"

Li Chenan was stunned.

I wonder what else I've hidden from you besides what happened last night?
Looking at Li Chenan's expression, Wen Boyu smiled slightly:
"Although the Emperor says that he does not need to be greedy for merit, the Emperor needs the support of the people!"

"The whole people of Kyoto have been conquered by the Emperor regarding the slum incident."

"And what happened in Huaibei County should be publicized to the world, so that all the people in Ning State will return their hearts to the emperor!"

Li Chenan swallowed and smiled sheepishly:
"Which... I have forgotten what I have done in the past. You should come and listen!"

Look, this is the humility of the emperor!
Wen Boyu nodded with great approval:

"Three hundred thousand kilograms of cotton arrived in Huaibei County on the third day of the heavy snowstorm!"

"That's cotton mobilized from the Kingdom of Wu!"

"I asked Li Shangshu. Although he was on a mission to Wu, he did not purchase cotton."

"Those cottons were transported by the Zhuang family of Wu State from Xiayuan Prefecture to Huaibei County... When the emperor came back from Wu State, didn't he happen to be traveling with Qiubalou Zhuang Dingchun?"

"Zhuang Dingchun is the eldest son of the Zhuang family in Wu Kingdom!"

"Without the emperor's order, how could Zhuang have transported so much cotton to Huaibei County!"

"emperor……"

Wen Zhuoyu bowed his hands with sincerity:
"I... am so impressed that I fell to the ground!"

Li Chenan was dumbfounded.

Of course he knew Qiu Balou and Zhuang Dingchun.

Qiu Balou is still discussing studies with Mei Fangxi at Taiyuan University.

Zhuang Dingchun......

This kid is still locked up in the old rain building!

But why did this guy send so much cotton to Huaibei County?

Who paid the money?
"Ah...I really forgot about this."

As soon as Li Chenan finished speaking, Eunuch Wei ran in anxiously.

He bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, Miss Xiao and the others want to see you!"

"...Invite them in."

After a while, Xiao Baozi and the other five stepped into the imperial study.

This is against the rules.

But Wen Boiyu is obviously used to it.

The moment Xiao Baozi stepped into the imperial study and saw Li Chenan, her heart finally relaxed.

But the moment she put it down, her slender eyes suddenly opened wide again——

Li Chenan, he didn't return home all night, but he actually entered the upper level of a realm!
Xiao Baozi and Zhongli Ruoshui looked at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Li Chenan's second practice of the Fu Er Zhou Tian Jue is different!

This damn cow didn't come back all night, which made everyone worried. It turned out that he ate it secretly outside!

Which bastard made the contribution last night? ! (End of chapter)
