Prince's Mansion.

After leaving the palace, Li Gan returned to the mansion, and this time he received the task of going to Pingzhou to appease the people, and Li Gan also attached great importance to it.

He could see that after the first two incidents, his father had already prejudiced him, and if he couldn't make some achievements, he was afraid that his position as the crown prince would be shaken.

And going to Pingzhou this time is an opportunity for him to perform, if he can do a good job, his father will definitely recognize him again.

In the main hall, Li Qian glanced at the sky outside, and immediately asked Yu Chengzhou on the side, "Pang Xuan has been notified, right?" ”

"I've ordered someone to send an invitation, and at this hour, he should be on his way here."

Yu Chengzhou said lightly.

"Okay, notify the dining room, prepare the feast, this time to Pingzhou, the assistance of the household department is indispensable. Now, Wei Yuan doesn't know what to do, and the entire household can be regarded as Pang Xuan, the squire, who has the final say, and the relationship with him must be taken care of. ”

Yu Chengzhou nodded.

After about ten minutes, the guards hurriedly came to report that the carriage of Pang Xuan, the household servant, had arrived at the mansion.

"Wechen see the prince!"

Three men in their early fifties came from the carriage, and when the three of them looked at Li Gan standing at the door, the three of them trembled, and then hurriedly stepped forward to hand over their luggage.

These three people are all household officials, and one of them is Pang Xuan, the household servant. It is also the most promising person in the entire household department in the future to become the head of the household department.

"The three adults are not polite, this prince has ordered the people in the dining room to prepare delicious wine and food, today, we must not get drunk and not return."

Li Qian greeted him warmly.

When Pang Xuan heard this, he was even more flattered, and hurriedly surrendered his hand to say yes. The other two didn't talk, but they also arched their hands.

The three of them are all household officials, and Pang Xuan is even more of a household servant, how can they be confused people, this time they can be greeted by the prince in person, and the three of them naturally know why.

With Wei Yuan's disappearance, the three of them have already heard the gossip that the imperial court is now selecting an official suitable for the position of the head of the household department, and in the eyes of the other two, this head of the household department is already in Pang Xuan's pocket.

The prince loves himself and others like this at this time, it is nothing more than taking up Pang Xuan's light, and the prince wants to win over Pang Xuan.

In the imperial court, although many ministers already have their own factions, the other two know that Pang Xuan has been watching and belongs to a neutral party.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't want to join those factions, it's just that no one has thrown him an olive branch so far, so he can't lick his face and slap people up.

Now, the crown prince Li Gan threw an olive branch to him, Pang Xuan was naturally happy, after all, Li Gan is the crown prince, the prince, and he will be the king of a country in the Dawu Dynasty in the future, joining the prince's line, once the prince ascends the throne, then his career will not advance by leaps and bounds!

"Thank you for your trouble."

Thinking of this, Pang Xuan hurriedly arched his hand and spoke respectfully.

Then, under the leadership of Li Gan, several people walked into the mansion, and then went to the dining hall.

Under Li Gan's arrangement, the table was already filled with a dazzling array of wine and delicacies.

Soon, several people were seated.

Pang Xuan and the three of them each toasted Li Gan with a glass of wine, and Li Gan also signaled that the three of them did not need to be polite, as if they were in their own home.

This meal was quite harmonious.

After a short rest, it was natural to talk about business, and Li Gan's face was rarely serious.

Glancing at the three of them, Li Gan said lightly: "Three adults, this time my father and emperor have entrusted such a difficult task to this prince, and I am afraid that this trip to Pingzhou will require a lot of assistance from the three adults." ”

"Rest assured, the prince will do his best to help in this matter!" Pang Xuangong arched his hand.

"Prince, I wonder what plans the prince has made for this trip to Pingzhou?"

Another household official asked.

This person taught Zhou Bohai in the Ming Sect, and his status in the household department was second only to Pang Xuan.

After hearing Zhou Bohai's words, Li Gan immediately told his plan.

"In order to appease the people, first of all, the prince will personally go to the major counties and counties in Pingzhou to appease the people, and secondly, the prince hopes that the household department can give an order to open the granary to help the grass people, so that every refugee has something to eat."

Hearing Li Gan's words, the three of them couldn't help but nodded. The two points that Li Gan said are indeed the most critical things today, but there is another point that Li Gan did not say, that is, how to solve the drought at its root.

"What the prince said is very true, but there is another thing that His Royal Highness the prince has not thought of yet. Pingzhou has three cities and five counties, and the population of the people is as high as hundreds of thousands, if the drought cannot be solved from the root, even if the imperial court opens a large granary, I am afraid that it can only solve the temporary predicament. ”

Pang Xuan said with a frown.

"Then I don't know what the big man thinks?"

Li Gan hurriedly asked, he really didn't take into account what Pang Xuan said.

"I'm afraid that this matter will have to be ordered by Your Majesty and let the people from the Ministry of Industry assist. Although Pingzhou is located in a barren land, it is Jiangnan to the south. If the water in the dams can be brought into Pingzhou, so that the people can re-cultivate the land and grow crops and grain, only in this way can the dilemma of Pingzhou be fundamentally solved. ”

After all, Pang Xuan has been an official for decades, so he can naturally see through the most important part of the matter in Pingzhou.

After hearing this, Li Gan also nodded very approvingly, if the matter of Pingzhou could be completely resolved, wouldn't his father be impressed by him?

At that time, how could Li Tianqi threaten him!

However, now there is a big problem in front of him, the introduction of the Jiangnan Dam into Pingzhou, this project is not ordinarily huge, and how much manpower, material and financial resources will be spent to complete this project.

But for the sake of his position as the crown prince, Li Gan still made up his mind in his heart.

Not only must this be done, but also to be done without the knowledge of the father, once successful, the father will be happy.

Thinking of this, Li Gan's face couldn't help but show a touch of joy.

At the same time, the Shizi Mansion.

Since returning to Kyoto, Chu Mo has not seen Li Chengwen for some days, which makes Chu Mo a little curious about what Li Chengwen has been doing since returning to Kyoto

Immediately, Chu Mo found Yu Zixuan, and the two left the Shizi Mansion together and went to Li Chengwen's mansion.

It's just that when Chu Mo and the two came to the mansion, they were told by the servants in the mansion that Li Chengwen went to the palace early in the morning.

Helpless, the two could only wait in the mansion, and it was not until the afternoon when Li Chengwen returned to the mansion.
