In the Imperial Garden of the capital, next to the Taiye Pool.

The breeze came slowly, the water was not rippling, and occasionally a koi poked its head out, blowing a ripple on the surface of the water, and quickly submerged into the water and disappeared.

Su Lu stood in the pavilion, looking at the Taiye Pool, his brows furrowed.

It is difficult for Qing officials to cut off family affairs, and it is also a big headache to deal with this government affairs, and it is easy to say that the political affairs of the various ministries are handled casually, but it is the lawsuits between the ministries and the entanglements between the prefectures and counties, which are about to make Su Lu crazy.

It's so difficult to deal with, the public says that the public is reasonable, the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, listen carefully, it's really reasonable, only you don't care!

Zhou Yuan of the Household Department and Zhou Ping of the Military Department have just done it again, and the Military Department has dispatched 96,724 guards to repair roads, of which more than 6,000 people have cooperated.

Zhou Yuan has a stalk in his neck, he wants money or not, he wants to die.

The construction of the stone track line is a major national event, so naturally it is impossible not to give silver, but the people used by the guards, the household department resolutely refuses to give this silver.

"Whoever uses the people, he will take the silver."

Zhou Yuan's words are well-founded.

"The guards are originally here to work, why did they use 6,000 people, could it be that the work that these 6,000 people can do, the guards can't do it, no, they won't give a penny of copper money."

Su Lujue is right, what Zhou Yuan said is not wrong, shouldn't you use these 6,000 people, your military department is not authentic in this matter.

Zhou Ping's reasons are also very good

"Pingxian to Jiangzhou belongs to the government, the two provinces at the junction of the mountains are dangerous, the road chosen is too difficult, you can only find the local people to help find the way, find a suitable route, you have to use the locals, one to go and two, this money will be used too much."

"If you don't use it, the stone track line in Pingxian County can't be paved to Jiangzhou, and the prince has issued a death order to complete it on a regular basis, what to do, you can only hire local people, so that it can be completed on schedule."

Su Lu was a little dumbfounded, this Nima went around in a circle, and I ignored it.

drove away the two of them, and Su Lu felt like his head was going to explode.

Lu Zhan came over and reported it

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang Dani of the Ordnance Mansion asks to see you."

Su Lu waved his hand and motioned for Lu Zhan to bring Dani over, the stone track line has been opened to traffic, it should have been a few trips in the past few days, Dani should have come to report the latest progress to herself.

Sure enough, Dani entered the pavilion with a box in her hand.

"The minister has seen the prince, the prince Wan'an, our wooden wheel car test has been completed."

Su Lu waved his hand and motioned for Dani to sit down

"This is Longjing tea extorted from Xie Ruyu of Tang Kingdom, made from the shoots before the Qingming Dynasty, you can taste it."

Su Lu instructed the female officer next to him to pour tea.

Dani took a sip and continued

"In the past few days, we have run a total of six times, trying to carry 15,000 catties and 36,000 catties respectively, and the results are all very good."

"Our wood-wheeled car, it worked."

Dani's cheeks were full of excitement, and she clenched her right hand into a fist and said excitedly.

"I personally went to Jiangzhou yesterday, this is a local snack in Jiangzhou brought back from Jiangzhou, the taste is very good, you can taste it."

Dani opened the box and showed the turtle jelly to Su Lu.

Su Lu twisted a piece, took a bite, and frowned, what kind of turtle paste is this, it is ordinary pear paste, and these people from Zijiangzhou will also deceive people.

"Well, yes, it tastes quite sweet, but unfortunately the spicy taste is a bit heavy."

"The stone track line has been completed, and in the future, whether we are transporting grain, grass and baggage, or transporting sergeants, the speed will be much faster. Dani, you have made great contributions this time, what reward do you want? ”

Su Lu praised Dani.

Dani's cheeks flushed, and just as she was about to speak, the sound of footsteps sounded again by the pool of Taili.

"Lord Wang, Your Majesty heard that the wooden wheeled cart in Jiangzhou has been opened, and I especially want to come and see Lord Wang."

With Changning's support, Li Qing was surrounded by a group of female officials and entered the pavilion.

Dani who waved his hand to stop the salute, Li Qing also praised it

"Zhou Ping has already told me just now, you have tried to transport grain and grass several times, and the effect is very good. Dani, you have made great contributions, what reward do you want this time? ”

Dani's cheeks turned slightly white, her head lowered, and her voice was low.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister does not want to reward, the minister has been poor since he was a child, his father died after the state incident, and the life of the family is even more sad, it is the prince who personally took action to save the minister's family, the minister is grateful for the great grace of the prince, and the broken bones cannot be repaid, don't reward."

Li Qing sat down next to Su Lu, picked up a piece of pear paste candy and ate a piece, his cheeks were full of yearning

"This is Jiangzhou's pear paste candy, when I was young, I once went to Jiangzhou with my father and ate pear paste candy, this is the second time I ate it, and the taste is exactly the same."

Li Qing's cheeks were full of remembrance, as if he missed Li Weiyuan, and seemed to miss the happy times of his childhood.

Su Lu didn't dare to make Li Qing too sad, so he spoke

"Then let's go to Jiangzhou, and then look at the places you walked in your childhood, it's boring to stay in the capital all the time, and it's good to go out to breathe."

Li Qingyan's cheeks were full of excitement when he heard this, but after a while, joy disappeared from his cheeks, and he said helplessly

"I still don't want it, the next time you took me to Keshan to eat meatloaf, I was attacked by the officials of Yushitai for half a month, if you go to Jiangzhou this time, they are afraid that they will not join you for a year."

Su Lu picked up a military newspaper on the table, handed it to Li Qing and said

"Not this time, Zhao Wu, this kid lost again, was broken by Gao Yang Anzi Village, the Tang army has approached Shangshan County, and now it is the soldiers of the Beida Battalion who are training in Shangshan, this group of old soldiers has not gone through the battle, this time I am afraid that something will not happen."

Li Qing understood when he heard this, "That's great, let's go on a trip, you move your little thumb, point at Zhao Wu, and defeat Gao Yang in one fell swoop, and we won't be criticized by Yushitai." ”

"Then let's go, it's too late to arrive in Jiangzhou today."

Li Qing stood up excitedly and ordered the female officer next to him to pack up his clothes and salute.

Su Lu asked Dani and said, "You can take care of the affairs of the Ordnance Palace, this time you have high merit, and you can't say it if you don't pay it, so let's give you a knight, our academician of the Hanlin Academy of the Han Kingdom." ”

Next to him, Li Qing asked in surprise: "When did the academician of the Hanlin Academy become a knight?" ”

Su Lu waved his hand and said, "Those official positions in the Hanlin Academy are useless, I am going to add a new title, that is, the academician of the Hanlin Academy, this title can only be obtained by the top people from all walks of life in the Han Kingdom, and as long as it is the top person, it can be obtained." ”

Li Qing was thoughtful when he heard this, it seemed that this academician of the Hanlin Academy was not just a knighthood and an official position.

Dani smiled like a flower, although she was unwilling to ask for a reward, but the title of this academician made her happy to the core.

The female officer acted quickly, and the clothes were quickly packed up.

Su Lu did not go out of Beijing with great fanfare this time, but just ordered Lu Zhan to take Gao Dabao and a few people, and escorted him to the newly established stone rail line station.

With the waist card of his Praetorian Guard, Lu Zhan asked for a wooden wheeled carriage and set off for Jiangzhou when the sun began to set westward.
