The next afternoon, as soon as Xi Zhen returned to the house, he was told that there was a young man named Pepper outside the door who asked to see him.

He smiled and said, "Call him in." At the same time, she got up and headed to the reception room.

This was the first time Pepper had seen her in women's clothes, so she didn't dare to treat her in front of her with her previous attitude. With a cramped mood, he asked, "Shen ...... Forget it, I'll call you master, master, I don't know what you mean by handymen. ”

Xizhen smiled and said, "I need you to go to a deep mountain and help me supervise a project." ”

"Engineering in the mountains?" Pepper's eyes widened.

"That's right, I need someone I can absolutely trust."

"The question is, what the hell is your project? What does it do? ”

"I'll show you, and you'll know when you see it."

"Okay." Anyway, he grew up in the mountains and is used to life in the mountains. Moreover, being an overseer is at least better than being a handyman.

"You wait for me, I'll go change my clothes and come." Xizhen said, standing up.

"Oh." He glanced at her angrily.

After a while, Xi Zhen appeared in front of him in men's clothes.

"Do you often dress as a man?" Seeing him in men's clothes, his mood was not so nervous, so he spoke more casually.

"No, it's like this when you need to, let's go."

"Then I'll put the salute on your side first."

"Okay, I'll ask the butler to arrange a room for you. Just put it here. ”

………………………

Hee-jin and Pepper rode their horses all the way, and in a short time they came to the top of the hill where the machine house was located.

Wan Haimo, who was busily directing the workers, saw them. Hurriedly greeted them.

"Shen Gongzi has a helper now?" Wan Hai looked at Pepper silently and asked.

"Well, he will stay here in the future to help follow up on the progress of the project, and you can tell him if you have any questions. He will convey it to me. Xizhen said with a smile.

"Then you won't come often in the future?" Wan Haimo's eyes showed a faint sense of loss.

"Because there are more things to do, I may be coming less often."

"Oh, I thought you weren't here." Wan Haimo laughed.

Xi Zhen then took Pepper to walk around the office room and informed him of the contents of the supervision.

Pepper had never seen such a multi-functional house, so she was shocked, and when she heard that it was designed by the person in front of her, she was even more impressed. I immediately agreed to the errand.

"Okay, come back with me and sign the contract." Xi Zhen said.

"Contract? Is this necessary? Pepper didn't seem very happy about her distrust of him.

"It's not that I don't trust you, but there are some things that I don't really have. And because this house involves confidentiality, it must be signed. Xizhen said with a straight face.

"Okay then."

Back in Houfu, Shen Xizhen immediately signed a contract with him.

The content of the contract was nothing more than a requirement for him to keep the affairs of the agency house confidential.

He happily signed his name.

Actually, since yesterday I said, "Shall I follow you?" Then he made up his mind to enter her life. Merely. The thought of staying in the mountains and not being able to see her often made me feel a little lost.

Xizhen paid him a month's money in advance, and gave him a sword.

Early the next morning, Pepper left the Houfu with a salute and went to live in the mountains.

………………………

As soon as the recruitment of the standing army was completed, Emperor Guangzhao issued an order -- each city immediately began to build its outlines and dig up its walls.

Suddenly, the entire Xi Kingdom was in full swing.

Emperor Guangzhao, Chu Zihou, Xizhen and others also personally went to the scene to guide the work.

Due to Emperor Guangzhao's efforts to retain. So Lazagina promised to stay in Beijing for a while longer, and Chu Zihou also stayed by the way to help follow up on the work of building the city and digging the city.

Only the prince, who was confined to the meditation garden, had no way to come to the scene to feel such an atmosphere. But lately he's figured out a lot of things. So he didn't bother with this at all, not to mention that Hua Yueyu was pregnant, and he had a new sustenance in his heart, so he slowly liked the quiet life in the meditation garden.

Every day, in addition to reading and practicing martial arts, he chatted and walked with Huayue Ballad, and his life was more comfortable than most.

Of course, he did not forget his mother, Empress Wenci.

She is still locked up in the cold palace.

And this time it all stemmed from him.

So he couldn't leave her alone.

In order to save her, he had to work hard to make himself ascend to the throne one day.

He could only save her when he became emperor.

So he had to get close to the government.

Therefore, he reads a lot of books related to politics every day and learns the way of the ancestors to govern the world.

A year is neither long nor short, but he has set himself a strict study plan to become a stronger version of himself when he leaves the meditation garden.

He believed he could do it.

………………………………

A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the work of building the city has been basically completed, and the work of digging the city is ready.

In the Zichen Palace, Emperor Guangzhao, who was listening to Xizhen playing the piano, closed his eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After playing two songs, Xi Zhen said: "Your Majesty, the courtiers have something to advise. ”

Hearing that she had something to say, he hurriedly opened his eyes, sat upright, and said, "Guang'an, please speak." ”

"Your Majesty, now that Xi has a city wall that takes care of everything, the external defense work is over, and next, we should pay attention to the problems inside the city wall."

"There are still many people in the Xi country who are starving, and for a country that is not short of land, why is there such a problem? The courtiers felt that it was because most of the land use rights of the Xi Kingdom were in the hands of the princes and nobles, so if this continued, the problem of the gap between the rich and the poor would always exist. Xizhen said.

Emperor Guangzhao nodded and said, "That's true, has Guang'an Hou thought of any countermeasures?" Emperor Guangzhao knew that it was not easy to solve the gap between the rich and the poor, and he had already thought about it, but he had always come up with a feasible solution.

"If people want to eat and eat well, they have to have the right to use the land in the end."

"You mean -- so that the people can have their own fields?" Emperor Guangzhao asked in surprise.

"Yes, as the saying goes, there are blessings and hardships, and only when the people are rich, can the Xi Kingdom become truly rich and strong."

"Sue sù me, what do you want to do?"

"Take most of the land from the hands of the princes, princes, and other nobles, and distribute them to the people."

Emperor Guangzhao was so surprised that he almost sat still.

"I'm afraid the nobles won't agree, and most of them are very powerful."

"Therefore the courtiers pleaded that the hereditary privileges of the nobility be abolished, that the feudals should be reduced, that the clansmen and nobles should have a certain amount of land, but only by merit, and not more than a certain amount. This has three advantages: First, more people can have land use rights. 2. Prevent the power of the princes from being excessive. 3. The emperor can win the hearts of the people and strengthen the centripetal force of the people. ”

"So, what will you do with the use of most of the land once you take it back?"

"Distributed by population. That's the fairest way to go. ”

"Mmmm, that makes sense. However, it may not be so easy to collect most of the land from the hands of the princes and nobles. ”

"If the emperor trusts the courtiers, leave this matter to the courtiers."

"This ...... Guang'anhou, these people are very powerful, don't imagine too simple. ”

"The courtiers also know, but because of this, we need to come up with systems and actions."

"Hmm."

"So, the courtiers asked the emperor for one thing."

"Say it."

"The courtiers will definitely offend some diehards when they implement this series of reforms, and in order to carry out the reforms to the end, the courtiers ask the emperor to give them a gold medal for avoiding death."

"It's nature."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Go back and write a detailed plan for me, and I'll help implement it."

"Okay."

Hee Zhen smiled and retired.

Xi Zhen, who had just walked out of the Zichen Palace, saw Chu Zihou waiting at the door.

"I'm going back to Northern Xinjiang tomorrow, so I'm here to say goodbye to you." Chu Zihou said to her, walk side by side with her.

"Okay, please take care, can Guifei Gina go back too?" She asked with concern.

"Well, let's go back together."

"So, can you come back to Houfu with me? I've got some gifts for you. ”

"Okay."

"Let's go together."

After getting into the carriage, King Qingping grabbed her hand tightly.

Since there was a curtain to cover, he kissed her generously.

"It's going to be months before I see you this time, and I'm going to miss you." He hugged her and said.

"I'll miss you too."

"Time, please hurry up, so that you can become my lady soon." Chu Zihou said as he kissed her on the cheek.

She smiled with a red face and said nothing, but her heart was full of happiness
