Ye Xi lay on the bed of the prison, looking at the snow-white wall, full of pride, he estimated that he had made a great contribution, someone would definitely use the eight sedan chairs to carry him out of the prison, maybe he could get an official position or something.

Although he didn't care, the little guy was still very excited to emerge earlier than his father and become an official in the court...... This is called the blue out of the blue and better than the blue, and the generation is stronger than the generation......

The little guy laughed, and suddenly the cell door opened, and he subconsciously looked.

There was no one to greet him, only his father, who strode over.

"Let's go!"

"Let's go?"

Ye Xi jumped up suddenly, "Dad, I was slandered by them and arrested in the prison, and no one made amends to me, nor did I compensate, so let me go back, it's too shameless!" ”

Ye Hua glanced at him, then leaned down and chuckled: "If you think your face is valuable, just wait here, but you can't live in this cell, there are many rooms with more than a dozen people in front, do you want to try it!" ”

Ye Xi shuddered, couldn't help curling up his legs and hugged his knees, "Dad, you won't treat me like that!" ”

"I won't, but the problem is that next time your mother comes, she is quite dissatisfied! You kid made such a big fuss without my nod, your mother doesn't mind making you suffer a little! ”

"Ahh

Ye Xi trembled all over, he had been afraid of the old lady since he was a child, and as he got older, the fear became more and more intense, as a female god of wealth, the old lady was not easy to mess with. Even if you throw him into the pile of prisoners, you can do it.

Ye Xi was finally honest, he obediently followed his father and came out of the prison.

The two jailers were kneeling in the doorway, holding three silver tickets in their hands, and kowtowing.

"Young Marquis, forgive the villain! The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and the little one is offended! ”

Ye Xi walked over, took three silver tickets, looked at them, suddenly fell down, and took out two more from the other shoe, a total of five hundred taels.

"You arranged a room for me, gave me wine and meat, and was beaten...... This money is counted as your medical expenses, so take it! ”

Five hundred taels!

What kind of illness can you see, and how much money can you use?

The two jailers hurriedly shook their heads, "Young Marquis, take it back quickly, the villain begs you!" ”

Ye Xi glared at him, "Let you take it!" A roast chicken outside costs less than a penny, and a roast chicken inside may not be able to eat it for a thousand taels...... If you really think it's a bit much, take some money and buy some quicklime and sprinkle it in your cell. Although it is not necessarily a good person, since sin does not lead to death, it should not be killed, don't you say? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The two of them nodded like pounding garlic, and peeked at Ye Hua again, and found that Hou Ye's face was as usual, and he was not angry, so he finally relied on his courage and put the money away.

"Young Marquis, don't worry, we are not good people in this business, but we still have a conscience, and we will take good care of the prisoners in the future."

Ye Xi grinned and got into his father's carriage, knowing it with affection, tempting it with profit, it felt good!

"Dad, you said that the next time I am caught, will they treat me better?" Ye Xi scratched his head, "I'm always worried that there will be a next time!" ”

Boom!

He hit his head hard!

Daddy's cannibalistic gaze made Ye Xi obediently shut up. Crossing the two streets, the little thing couldn't sit still again, "Dad, Lu Duosun arrested me, do you think he is good to dismiss the official, or kill the head?" ”

Ye Hua snorted, "No!" ”

"How could that be?" Ye Xi asked in surprise: "He spent several times the price to purchase weapons, wasting national funds and people's money, and the most important thing, he also arrested me, how could there be no thing?" Daddy, don't you feel very shameless? ”

Ye Hua shook his head, "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you now...... When you think these things through, I'll admit that you're an adult. If you don't understand, just follow Mr. Qi Tongwen to study hard! Remember, don't add to the mess in the future! ”

……

Not to mention, Lu Duoxun not only did not lose his official position and resign, but hung up the title of squire of the Ministry of Rites and the Du Branch at the same time.

One person is in charge of two departments, not to mention the end, it is also unprecedented.

Ye Xi got the news and was still looking at the military report in front of him in the school...... Chai Rong's northern expedition to the Khitan, victorious, Zhao Kuangyin's vanguard has entered Dading Mansion, and the sailors have also landed in Liaodong, and there is good news, that is, the Jurchen tribes in the Khitan have rebelled, responded to the call of the Great Zhou, and joined the ranks of attacking the Khitan.

Not surprisingly, within the year, the Great Zhou is expected to destroy the Khitan.

How majestic and domineering it is to destroy a country in the middle of a hand!

It's fascinating, and the blood is boiling.

Ye Xi couldn't wait to rush to the battlefield and kill the enemy with a sword, but in his heart, there was always a question, why was Lu Duosun safe and sound, and why was he promoted?

What are Daddy and Wang Pu doing?

With a stomach full of questions, Ye Xi began to read various newspapers to find answers...... Gradually, he discovered some clues...... For example, some school gentlemen have written articles in newspapers pointing out that cooperatives have been widely implemented in the countryside to unite farmers.

As for the city, it is still a scattered sand.

Big businessmen, capitalists, bankers, they are sitting on huge wealth, have tens of thousands of workers, financial resources comparable to the country, internal talents, a factory, like a powerful fortress, than the original blood union of the family is three points more terrible!

With the advent of the steam engine, the scale of the factory expanded wildly, and sooner or later, a few factories could influence the national policy of the imperial court.

In order to avoid this situation, the imperial court should go deep into the factories and talk directly to the workers, and at the same time share the industrial dividends with the workers and win the workers to side with the court.

The imperial court, on the other hand, had to strike a balance between the workers and the capitalists in order to effectively manage the increasingly complex situation......

Ye Xi vaguely understood, it seems that Dad and Wang Pu are pursuing balance, a balance between industry and agriculture, and a balance within industry.

He stumbled into it, drew cartoons, wrote articles, and became a representative of the workers who spoke for them...... Only then did other people follow up, speaking of which, he, Young Master Ye, was also obedient to the heavens, and he had no faults...... Of course, if others stand up and say that there are not so many immortals to protect them, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky.

Thinking of this, Ye Xi felt that a whole new world had opened up in front of him...... Lu Duoxun is known as a cool official, let him collect money, do everything he can, let him emigrate, millions of people went to the Western Regions, in terms of executive ability, he has to surpass the vast majority of people.

This time, he procured military supplies, and he also suffered a loss of unknown truth...... The revolution brought about by the steam engine was not estimated at all...... It's just that this can't be Ludoson's fault, at least not intentionally.

Of course, he caught Ye Xi with bad intentions, but before he started, he didn't know that after he caught it, he didn't have any other out-of-character performance except for Guo Zongxun...... All in all, Ye Hua was not willing to take him down casually.

If Chai Rong was in the capital, Lu Duoxun would definitely be dismissed.

But the Son of Heaven was not there, in line with the principle of being in charge and not making trouble, Ye Hua let Lu Duosun go.

But he didn't want to take it easy.

Ye Hua gave him the waiter of the Ministry of Rites and the Du Branch at the same time, which is to let Lu Duosun do things and do sinners!

First of all, Ye Hua instructed Lu Duoxun to recruit a group of scholars in the name of the Ministry of Rites, and at the same time cooperate with major academies and schools...... Let them study all aspects of the Great Zhou...... Population, Food, Economy, Education, Astronomy, Water Conservancy, Agriculture, Iron and Steel, Coal, Diplomacy...... To put it bluntly, Da Zhou wants to establish a think tank system.

With these scholars providing objective advice, the administration of the imperial court will have a more direction.

Otherwise, based on the personal judgment of officials, it is inevitable that anyone will make mistakes.

With the support of scholars, the next thing is the problem of the procurement system, when Li Gu was the third envoy, there was a big mistake, and later after several reforms, the shortcomings were not completely solved.

This time it is a thorough rectification, from top to bottom, hiring specialized personnel, and strict procedures...... The most important thing is that every expenditure must be made public, published in newspapers, and subject to supervision.

On the side of the audit temple, it is necessary to focus on verification, and also enter the factory to understand the real situation, and ask the factory to publish its financial report...... This series of things is all about offending people.

And the amount of work is very huge, Ye Hua was unceremonious, and handed it over to Lu Duoxun.

At this time, Lu Duosun felt as if he had pressed two Mount Tai on his shoulders, and the worst thing was that he couldn't complain about it, so he could only rush forward desperately, and he must complete the task as soon as possible.

Wang Pu is in charge of the overall situation, Ye Hua is in charge of supervision, and Lu Duosun is fully promoting.

The original planned military expenditure of 50 million yuan was not overspent, but was also reduced to 38 million taels.

The balance is 12 million taels!

The Northern Expedition was victorious, and the money was soon put to good use......

Wang Puru was relieved, "Alas, I can almost give rewards to the soldiers...... Finally, there was no deficit, and the old man was able to face the saint with a smile. Wang Pu said again: "Master Hou, just now the sage sent a secret decree to the old man, do you want to read it?" ”

Ye Hua smiled, how could this old man have the heart to joke.

"Since it's a secret decree, how can I read it?" Ye Hua took a sip of tea and said casually: "Could it be that it was given to us?" ”

"Not really." Wang Pu paused, "The old man said it in advance...... The sage intends to build a Lingyan Pavilion to put the heroes of the Great Zhou Dynasty on the pavilion for future generations to pay homage to! ”

"Your Majesty wants to emulate Tang Taizong?" Ye Hua asked rhetorically.

"I thought you'd ask yourself how many hangings you had?" Wang Pu said dumbly: "Not only that, Your Majesty's army has just broken through Shangjing, and the two generals, Zhao Kuangyin and Han Tong, led the men and horses to pursue the remnants of the Khitan. ”

Ye Hua took a sharp breath, sealing the wolf Juxu and building the Ling Yan Pavilion is definitely the pinnacle of Chai Rong......
