Chapter 450: The Storm Strikes
"I don't know where you heard about this, but you ...... It's up to you? Have someone put me in a dungeon? You're the oldest! ”
"It's just an ordinary civilian who hasn't yet obtained an official position, do you think that if your drawings are in the eyes of those two adults, you will have a chance to become an official in the court?"
"You are still pressuring His Royal Highness the Prince, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not recognize the value of the drawings, it will be in vain after all!"
Zhao Yang sneered again and again, and Li Mao, Lu Wen and the others were stunned when they heard Zhao Yang say this.
They looked at each other with a hint of mockery on their faces.
Seeing that Zhao Yang had been caught, Li Mao simply stepped forward and said.
"Do you really think that this adult is an ordinary person who studies drawings? No, you're wrong. ”
"He is...... His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
A loud sentence was dropped, and Zhao Yang froze suddenly.
He looked up in Li Mao's direction, obviously not believing Li Mao, he muttered.
"No, how is it possible, how can he be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he also discussed the contents of the drawings with me just now."
"He's obviously just an ordinary person who knows a little bit about this, you officials in Beijing don't want to trick me."
"Whether it is the prince or not, you will know if he is escorted to the county government later."
Li Mao didn't bother to argue with the other party, he rolled his eyes and waved his hand to his subordinates.
Everyone pressed Zhao Yang and imprisoned Zhao Yang in the county office, and after being imprisoned in the county government and tortured by the county order, Zhao Yang finally understood.
Chen Mu is indeed the crown prince, but at this time, it is too late for him to regret it.
offended the prince, the wrong thing has already been done, and there is no room for things to turn around.
Zhao Yang was convicted of a felony, and Cao Lao and Cao Lao's senior brother and brother also learned about it.
Cao Lao's senior brother was very indignant.
"That brute was finally arrested, he was just a negative man before, although his character was problematic, but after all, he didn't commit any major crimes, and no one arrested him."
"Now that he has angered His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you will finally have to pay the price for what you have done."
Chen Mu heard Cao Mang say this, sighed, nodded and agreed.
"Since the adults have been caught, this time the matter will be settled, Zhou Xu has been arranged to enter the research office, and I have also asked people to continue to advance the equipment."
"I think it will be a few days before this instrument can be studied, by the way, you come to the palace to find me, in addition to asking about Zhou Xu and Zhao Yang, there should be other things."
"Is it related to the weather forecast?"
Seeing Chen Mu ask like this, Cao Lao's senior brother immediately responded.
It was rare for him to enter the palace once, and this time the monitored situation was discovered by him.
He immediately told Chen Mu what he had discovered.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the two states and counties where you have people build trade routes are going to break out in a storm in the near future."
"I was worried that this storm would affect the construction of trade routes and even cause the local people to lose money, so I thought I would tell you about it."
After the construction of the trade road, many people were occupied with fertile land, and those people were compensated by the government and settled in another village not far from the mountain road.
Because it was a temporary relocation, many houses had not been built, and the people lived in simple tents.
When Chen Mu heard this, he immediately became serious.
If this is the case, the storm will come, and the simple tents where the people live will definitely not be able to carry it.
Chen Mu thought for a moment and spoke.
"I'm going to send a message to the officials of that county, and ask him to think of resettle those people as soon as possible, how many days are there before the storm hits?"
"On the third day, I got the news last night, and I came here early this morning."
Hearing what the other party said, Chen Mu nodded with satisfaction and asked people to retreat.
Chen Mu thought about it for a while, called his subordinates, and arranged the matter.
When his subordinates heard that Chen Mu was going to make a private visit to that village in person, they couldn't help but be stunned.
In the past few days, he has often paid private visits, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has finally stayed in Beijing for a few days, why is he ready to leave the capital now?
Chen Mu noticed the expression on his hand and spoke.
"Didn't you say a few days ago that there were officials who petitioned the government to report that some local squires and landlords had seized the people's fertile land?"
"This time, I will personally go to investigate, and if I find something wrong, I will severely fine a batch, so that it can also deter the squires and landlords everywhere."
In addition, if it is just a seizure of fertile land, it is better to say.
Chen Mu was worried that there would be a county guard and a county order, and he would allocate it. the silver taels for the people,
"In addition, the treasury has been empty again in the past few days, and it is time to find a few traitorous ministers to slaughter them, those people in the big families in the capital have been a lot more careful in the past few days."
"If you want to find fault with them, I'm afraid it's not so easy, in this case, it's time to focus on the county guards and county orders in various places."
Chen Mu sighed and said with emotion.
When his subordinates heard him say this, the corners of their mouths couldn't help but twitch slightly.
Chen Mu didn't say any more, waved his hand, and asked people to arrange it.
Meng Qing was the first to learn the news that Chen Mu was preparing for a private visit to Weifu, and when it was dark, Chen Mu was about to return to the dormitory, when he heard a sound of footsteps outside the door.
The owner of this footstep only lingered in His Royal Highness, and did not enter the hall, Chen Mu's eyes moved, and through the door, he saw that the person standing outside the door was a woman's figure.
Chen Mu's eyes moved slightly, and a smile appeared on his face.
He stood up and walked to the door, opening the door of the hall, Meng Qing was startled, and immediately looked up in the direction of Chen Mu.
Seeing that the person who opened the door was Chen Mu, Meng Qing smiled and threw herself into Chen Mu's arms.
"I thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was handling government affairs, and I didn't want to disturb His Royal Highness the Prince, but I didn't think about it and made a disturbance."
"The government affairs have been dealt with almost, and I am ready to go back to the dormitory to rest, I heard your voice just now, you hesitated, do you have something to say?"
Seeing Chen Mu ask like this, a shy smile appeared on Meng Qing's face, and she nodded in response.
"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to pay a private visit again, and the scenery of the two counties I went to this time is excellent, I ...... I ......"
Seeing that the other party was hesitant, Chen Mu understood what the other party meant, and Chen Mu frowned.
Meng Qing raised her head and glanced at Chen Mu, and when she saw the expression on Chen Mu's face, she suddenly became nervous.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, we can talk about it last time, you have to take me with you on your next private visit to Weifu."
Seeing that the other party's face was full of uneasiness, Chen Mu sighed helplessly, and had to nod in response.
This time Weifu has a private interview, he will not let people spread the news, and no one will target him in the future.
Seeing Chen Mu nodding in response, Meng Qing cheered, and rubbed in Chen Mu's arms again, like a delicate kitten.
Chen Mu took Meng Qing back to the dormitory, the two rested for the night, and stayed until the next day, the matter of Weifu's private visit was taken care of, and Chen Mu handed over the political affairs of Beijing to his confidants.
