Morning.

The Imperial Palace, in the Chonghua Palace, is brightly lit.

Lu Yuan was sitting in his own exclusive chair next to the dragon case, bowing his head and snoring and drinking hot soup.

Gu Qingwan sat on the imperial throne and looked at Lu Yuan, who was eating in such a hurry, and couldn't help but say with distress on her face:

"Oh, eat slowly, what can you be in a hurry!"

Obedient?

What a strange appellation.

Lu Yuan's face was black, this seems to be a name used by adults to coax children.

Lu Yuan said while taking a big bite of food:

"Finish it early and finish it early, it's the same, now it's grinding and chirping, and then you can sleep late, and if you finish it early this night, you can sleep early then."

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, Gu Qingwan immediately frowned and said:

"If you're sleepy, then sleep now, what's there, if you don't work tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow if you can't, the day after tomorrow.

I'll see who dares to make irresponsible remarks when the time comes! ”

Lu Yuan glanced up at Gu Qingwan, but couldn't help grinning:

"No, it can be done at about four or five o'clock in the morning, what time will your pilgrimage start?"

Gu Qingwan looked at Lu Yuan and blinked, then said:

"Generally, ministers begin to enter the palace at half past six, officially start at seven o'clock, and generally end at about eight o'clock, and if there is a major matter to discuss, it will be extended."

After hearing this, Lu Yuan nodded, and then directly dried the bowl of hot soup in his hand.

Then put down the dishes and chopsticks:

"Tomorrow, the Forging Bureau should be able to send those parts at seven or eight o'clock, and when the parts arrive, my sister can directly lead them to see."

After Gu Qingwan blinked, she suddenly said:

"Actually, brother, you can wait for the parts to arrive and put them on and try it first, if there is anything wrong, change it again, and my sister can at least drag them to the afternoon to see."

Lu Yuan shook his head and looked at Gu Qingwan and grinned:

"No, if I don't find a problem after checking overnight tonight, then there is no problem, just let them come when the time comes."

Looking at Lu Yuan, who was so confident, Gu Qingwan felt a sense of security in her heart inexplicably, and then immediately pursed her lips and nodded with a smile:

"Good~"

Then, Lu Yuan continued to arch into the locomotive to check.

And after Gu Qingwan stayed up with Lu Yuan for a while, she really couldn't stand it.

Tomorrow, Gu Qingwan will get up at four or five o'clock to make up, and there are still a few hours to go, Gu Qingwan always has to go in and sleep for a while.

It was about four or five o'clock in the morning.

Lu Yuan finally jumped off the locomotive.

Although he has a perfect physique and is not tired, he is very mentally tired.

And, really sleepy.

The locomotive has been completely solved, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Tomorrow I will send a few key parts to load it, and then I will bring in a cart of coal, and we will be able to go.

Lu Yuan, who was busy with work, couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to sleep.

I definitely can't go home now, so I will sleep here for two or three hours, and when the time comes, I will start directly.

You don't have to go home and come back.

After watching Lu Yuan get off the train, these little eunuchs who were keeping vigil immediately said:

"Sir, are you going to rest?"

Lu Yuan nodded, and then said:

"Did the emperor say where I should sleep?"

The little eunuch nodded hurriedly and said:

"Said it, the emperor said that he would let you stay in Chonghua Palace."

In Chonghua Palace?

Lu Yuan looked at the little eunuch with a confused expression.

However, after the little eunuch led Lu Yuan into the Chonghua Palace, Lu Yuan knew that he was thinking too much.

Not to go to Gu Qingwan's dormitory, but to the dormitory in the other direction of the main hall.

This is similar to the emperor's meeting room.

For example, the emperor had a good relationship with a brother, and called him to accompany him to play chess, or admire an antique or something.

Or a cup of tea, a drink or something will be in this room.

However, this house has not been used by Gu Qingwan very much.

After all, Gu Qingwan is only a younger brother, and this Gu Lie didn't come here at all, and this house has been idle.

It's all cleaned up, and it's warm in this room.

This Chonghua Hall is still heating with spiritual power cores.

Speaking of which, Lu Yuan's family now occasionally burns a warm kang.

Although this is said that the cold winter has passed, sometimes at night, there are cloudy days or something, and it will still be cold.

Still have to burn some.

It had been freezing outside all night, and as soon as he entered such a warm place, Lu Yuan's sleepiness came up.

As soon as I took off my clothes and pants, I lay down directly in the bedding that had been prepared a long time ago.

Don't say it's so warm.

Almost a few seconds later, Lu Yuan's snoring sounded up.

No tricks, too tired.

When this person is tired, he is prone to snoring.

Lu Yuan had just slept for half an hour, and Gu Qingwan got up.

Mama, the palace maids immediately poured into Gu Qingwan's dormitory to help with her makeup.

However, Gu Qingwan didn't dress up first, but wore yellow pajamas, walked straight out of the dormitory, and came to the main hall to look at the big eunuch on the side.

The big eunuch on the side also hurriedly said:

"Lord Lu is asleep."

Gu Qingwan asked softly:

"When did you sleep?"

Gu Qingwan didn't need to be so quiet at all, after all, this Chonghua Hall was big, and Lu Yuan was still sleeping in another room.

And the big eunuch saw that Gu Qingwan's voice was very small, and he quickly lowered his voice and hurriedly said:

"Just half an hour ago."

After the chief eunuch finished speaking, he hurriedly added:

"Lord Lu also said that the train is foolproof, and after the parts of the forging bureau are delivered, the emperor can take the minister to Chonghua Hall to see the train."

After listening to what the big eunuch said, Gu Qingwan nodded slightly, not saying anything else.

Then he walked briskly towards Lu Yuan's room.

As soon as she pushed the door open, Gu Qingwan heard Lu Yuan's snoring.

Listening to this voice, Gu Qingwan muttered a little funny:

"Why is this little thing still snoring?"

The big eunuch on the side took over the conversation and hurriedly said:

"Maybe I'm tired, this lord really didn't have any idle yesterday."

Gu Qingwan listened to the words of the great eunuch, the smile on her face was a lot less, she nodded slightly, and then quietly came to Lu Yuan's side.

All of this hall is a warm kang, but there is no fire underneath.

Lu Yuan was sleeping with his head towards the window.

Gu Qingwan looked at the sleeping Lu Yuan, her eyes were full of tenderness, and after gently sitting on the edge of the bed, Gu Qingwan also lay on her side next to Lu Yuan.

The jade hand gently helped Lu Yuan arrange his hair.

Then, Gu Qingwan looked at Lu Yuan, who was full of oil, and couldn't help but shake her head, and said with a dumb smile:

"This little thing, really, looks like a little flower cat, and it gets dirty and drills into my sister's bed.

How will my sister use this quilt in the future~"

The big eunuch standing beside the bed couldn't help blinking.

This......

This emperor still plans to continue to use the bedding used by Lord Lu?

Well......

Let's not talk about dirty or not......

Even if it's not dirty......

The emperor can't use other people's bedding, right?

Of course......

The big eunuch didn't count this in his heart, after all......

Before this, there was no female emperor in the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if it was the previous emperor, he called his brother to come to the palace for the night.

When it's time to sleep, these princes will not stay in the Chonghua Palace, they all have to stay away from the harem and sleep elsewhere.

Gu Qingwan stared at the sleeping Lu Yuan for a while.

In the end, he smiled gently, tidied up the quilt for Lu Yuan, and then walked towards his dormitory from getting up.

It's time to start preparing for the court.

……

Eight o'clock, the Imperial Palace, Taihe Palace.

Ministers, wearing court clothes, are standing solemnly in this huge Taihe Hall to discuss matters.

Now, the weekly pilgrimage meeting is basically talking about bandits in the south and the disaster caused by the winter floods in the south.

However, these two things are not a headache at the moment.

The bandits in the south are in trouble, and today's war report is being sent again.

Still a big win!!

A big win like no other!!

From the moment the mortar appeared, it seemed that the bandits in the south were not a headache.

However, there are some things that must still see the final effect.

In this way, this southern bandit will surely be completely eradicated in about January.

This time is different.

In the past, the imperial court had to suppress bandits almost every once in a while, but this bandit was like a weed, and the spring breeze blew and grew again.

But this time it's different.

This time it's uprooted!

And this time, it can be said that the banditry in the south after that will not be there for a long time, or even ...... Never again.

The formation of banditry in the south, to put it bluntly, is actually a problem of the imperial court.

If everyone could eat, everyone would be able to live a good life.

Even if there are a few people with bad hearts who want to pull the pole and fall into the grass, no one will respond.

These southern bandits are all because the Great Zhou Dynasty was too dark before, and the people really couldn't get by, so many people went up the mountain.

But that's not the case anymore.

Lu Yuan's second wave of potatoes is already harvested.

Just the output of potatoes grown in the northern greenhouses is already equivalent to the grain output of the whole country in the first quarter before the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After that, when the people have something to eat, who would want to be a bandit?

Therefore, this time the bandit is not only the simple surface that has been eliminated, but the most gratifying thing is ...... In the future, there will be no bandits in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

That's the best thing.

And when it comes to this potato, it is natural not to mention the southern winter flood.

During the winter flood in the south before, the imperial court was really worried to death.

If there were no potatoes from Lu Yuan.

It's hard to say what will happen to the people in the south who don't have enough to eat.

But now, it's completely solved.

This matter can be said to have landed perfectly.

All that remains is the finishing touches, and the imperial court will help the southern provinces rebuild the affected areas.

And now, Lu Yuan's train has also come out.

The railway, which was built from north to south, was built from the north to these disaster areas.

At that time, with the opening of the railway, it can be said that it will only take half a year for the southern convenience to be rebuilt.

Every time Gu Qingwan listened to the ministers below talk about these news at the court meeting, she would sigh in her heart.

This Lu Yuan is simply a gift from God...... No, to be precise, it was given to Da Zhou!

"The laying of the railway, the Ministry of Industry will start preparing immediately after the dispersal of the dynasty today, and cooperate with the local forging bureau to quickly pave the railway."

Gu Qingwan was sitting on the emperor's throne and looked at the Ministry of Industry Shangshu below After speaking, she turned her head to look at the Ministry of Household Shangshu on the side and said:

"The money and food needed by the Ministry of Industry must be allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs as soon as possible, and there can be no delay in the slightest."

At this time, the head of the household immediately bowed down and said:

"Yes, my lord, the household department will definitely make sure that nothing goes wrong."

After this household book finished speaking.

The people in this hall looked at this household book like ghosts.

No...... Something is wrong!!

There's something completely wrong with this Tobe Book today!!

How is this ...... Why don't you cry poor?!

In this past dynasties, where is there anyone who doesn't cry poor? !

If you don't cry poor, what kind of household should you be?

The business of the household department is actually quite easy to do, and if you want to say anything more difficult, it is to cry poor.

When there is no money in the treasury of this country, if the emperor wants to do something, the household secretary has to stand up and cry poor.

When the country's treasury is rich, it still has to stand up and cry poor!

I have to cry!

It's absolutely not okay not to cry.

When it comes to the first quarter of the first half of the year, when the accounts are to be settled and reported, if there is not much money in the treasury, or the numbers are not good-looking, then the designation will be approved!

Don't look at how the money in this treasury is spent, how it is spent, this is all what the emperor says.

This money is all spent by the emperor, that's right.

However, when the treasury money is not good-looking, then the emperor will still have trouble with your household.

At that time, the emperor will definitely not admit it.

After all, there is not much money in this treasury, and when this kind of thing spreads, the common people will say what is going on today.

This makes the common people say Son of Heaven, is this good?

This is not good, so this household has to carry this black cauldron.

But you can't keep it back, so every time the emperor wants to use a lot of money, this household secretary has to come out and cry for a while.

In this way, when the emperor sees that there is less money, and when he wants to settle accounts after the autumn, he can also be scolded for a while, isn't it.

Look at it, I said that there was no money at that time, and your emperor had to do this, which is not bad for me.

It's all old tradition.

Everyone knows it.

Dynasties have done this for generations.

Just like when the railway was going to be laid in the north before, this household was still a book, and it was a person who could cry poor, and he almost died in this Taihe Palace.

But this time......

Everyone's faces were full of question marks.

Something is wrong!!

There is only one reason why this household secretary is not crying poor now, and that is ......

The money in the treasury this year ...... It's fucking overflowing!

Everyone also knows that this recent bicycle, threshing machine or something is very profitable, but how much it earns, no one knows.

Even the cabinet has to ask the household department to submit the account books for half a year and a quarter to find out.

This is now two months before the Ministry of Household Accounts is handed over, and the Cabinet does not know how much money the country's treasury has in these four months.

But look at this...... It's a lot, a lot!

To know......

The cost of building a railway in the south is much more expensive than that in the north.

The railway project in the south will be divided into three phases, and the first phase of the project will be completed, and the emperor will ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate 7 million to the Ministry of Industry.

This second issue, the third issue, I'm afraid it is indispensable.

Yesterday, when the Cabinet was drawn up, the account was calculated to be 28 million.

This railroad alone is 28 million.

Although the money given by the cabinet is not final, it is not bad.

This southern railroad is so expensive!

The North is almost finished, and it is less than 15 million, and the South has basically doubled.

But......

At that time, when the Northern Railway was going to be 3 million, this household secretary cried miserably, as if his child died.

But now......

You don't even blink if you want seven million??

That's not right!!

In the past half a year, how much money has Lu Yuan earned for the Great Zhou Dynasty!!

Thank you for the 500 book coin reward of the 1112 brother, thank you very much~

Thank you Brother Quan Ji and the name is too difficult to calculate, my brother's 100 book coins reward, thank you very much~
