The cold wind blew snowflakes between heaven and earth, and the glazed tiles on several halls of the palace were gradually covered with a layer of white veil.

In the hall below, the burning charcoal fire released an endless stream of heat, and although it was cold outside, it was very warm inside the hall.

Emperor Qing was wearing a single shirt, his hair was slightly messy and half leaning on the back of the chair, his expression was lazy and casual, but the look between his eyebrows and eyes looking at the world was also quite eye-catching.

As the supreme ruler of the entire Qingguo, these days, he is naturally keenly aware of some changes that have taken place in Qingguo from the bottom up.

Regardless of the people's livelihood and economy, he obviously noticed that the entire Qingguo seemed to be gradually tied together by a big net.

The speed of response to the decree is at least more than 50% faster than in the past.

As an emperor, he knew exactly what that meant.

It means that the imperial power has been greatly extended and enhanced.

In the past, a government decree was issued to all parts of the country, and it took at least half a year or even several years for feedback to reach Kyoto.

Subsequently, after repeated revisions and adjustments, it will take several years for a decree to be truly implemented, but it will take an even longer time to really see results.

With the expansion of the postal service and the development of the newspaper industry, both the speed and depth of the transmission of government decrees are far greater than in the past.

Imperial power does not go to the countryside.

This is a problem that many dynasties face.

One is because the education level of the rural people is not high, and the other is because the local tyrants control the information channels of the villagers.

In addition, the emperor is far away, and the transportation is inconvenient.

So much so that they can easily change a decree to their advantage.

Giving full play to the breadth and profundity of the text is completely contrary to the original intention of this decree.

However, the postal and newspaper industries joined forces to forcibly smash this blockade.

Let countless people know the greatness of the world and know every decree that is closely related to themselves.

And where the emperor's power to govern the world comes from, it is this decree from the center.

The smooth passage of government decrees naturally means the strengthening of imperial power.

"Postal Routes, Newspaper ......"

Emperor Qing pondered these two things, coupled with the many changes that have taken place in Qingguo these days, and gradually began to understand why Ye Qingmei was so serious when he mentioned these two things.

And when he thought of the prince, his expression couldn't help but be much deeper.

"What is the prince doing these days?"

Suddenly, he asked.

On the side, Eunuch Yao hurriedly leaned over and said in a low voice: "The prince has been staying in the East Palace for the past few days, and it seems that he is looking at medical skills, because the startled salamander is protecting him, it is difficult for our people to approach. ”

"Medical books?" Emperor Qing was slightly surprised and said, "What about political affairs?" ”

Eunuch Yao hesitated for a moment and said, "The prince should not have dealt with any political affairs, and the affairs on the postal service are now in charge of Na Gaolishi." ”

"Not doing business!"

Emperor Qing snorted coldly, and then silently recited the names of Gao Lishi and the startled salamander.

Gao Lishi has some impressions, he used to work beside the queen, but he didn't see any talent, but he didn't expect that after being sent to the East Palace, only three months after taking office, he was able to handle the intricate affairs of the postal service in an orderly manner, which was really beyond his expectations.

But he was a little concerned about the salamander.

A nine-rank master is not something that can be cultivated casually.

"How's the investigation going?"

Eunuch Yao thought for a while, and said: "According to the investigation, this salamander is a person from Muzhou Quanxian County, his parents died when he was young, and he was sold to Fengzhou by his uncle. ”

"He's in luck!" Emperor Qing said a little unhappily.

The nine-rank swordsman who is only in his twenties can't find a few in the whole world.

Li Chengqian's ability to find such a talented person from a group of orphans is tantamount to hitting a fortune.

"Hmph, Anjitang, in the name of relieving An Gu, raising the dead, I am embarrassed to call Anjitang!"

He naturally knew the doorway, and he scolded a few words rarely, venting a little bit of the long-suppressed annoyance in his heart.

Eunuch Yao looked at his nose and nose, and pretended to be deaf and dumb on the side.

After a while, Emperor Qing smiled dumbly and shook his head, for so many years, it was really rare for him to look like this.

However, over the years, he has indeed stretched himself too hard.

However, this is also something that can't be helped, there are tens of millions of people up and down Qingguo, and there are too many things for him to consider.

Since he is in this position, he naturally has to bear the corresponding responsibility.

There is no mental politics left and right, and he is not here to spend it, so he immediately said: "Drive the Qianning Palace!" ”

He wanted to see if there was a talent like Gao Lishi around him, the queen.

……

In the East Palace, on the bed in the inner room of the Wenhua Pavilion, Li Chengqian lay on Izumo's elastic thighs with half-squinted eyes, feeling the light or heavy pressure of the ten verdant jade fingers on his head, and he only felt that his whole body was comfortable.

Sometimes, he thinks that he is stirring up the wind and rain outside to grab the throne, it is better to lie in the East Palace and enjoy it.

It would be great to have a computer that could play games.

In such a day, after becoming an emperor, I am afraid that I may not be able to be so idle.

At this time, the startled salamander came over from outside, wearing a purple and white striped slim fish scale suit, outlining her beautiful figure extremely attractively.

At the moment she had a dossier in her hand.

Judging by its material and cover, it should be from the Supervision Yuan.

Sure enough, when he got closer, the startled salamander said softly: "The file sent by the Supervision Yuan said that it was related to the postal route, and the subordinates have checked it, and there is nothing abnormal. ”

"The Inspectorate?" Li Chengqian opened his eyes, raised his hand to take the file, and after a few glances, he roughly understood the contents.

"Is this actually the case? What does Chen Pingping mean by that old fox? Gestures? ”

He was a little puzzled that he didn't seem to have much contact with the Supervision Yuan.

And the incident mentioned in the dossier, Luo Wang has naturally been aware of it a long time ago.

After all, unlike the Supervisory Yuan, which is extensively involved, the net only serves him.

The information of all aspects of the postal service related to him is naturally the most important at the moment.

Although he did not receive any government affairs related to the postal service, in the past three months, the changes, replacements, and influences of all parties in the postal service have been clearly known through the net.
