promise you

After many years, Mo Chenglu entered the palace again.Standing in front of the imperial study room, he suddenly recalled the Qionglin Banquet, when he was young, but he was in high spirits, thinking that no one in the world could match his talent, but the reality is still the reality after all.After so many years, he is no longer the boy he was back then, but he is far stronger than himself back then.

Eunuch Chen saw Mo Chenglu startled staring at the word "Yushufang", and hurriedly reminded, "Mr. Mo?"

Mo Chenglu came back to his senses all of a sudden, and said with full apology: "Sorry, I was distracted."

"It doesn't matter." Eunuch Chen said with a smile, "It's just that I will be in front of the emperor for a while, Mr. Mo can't do this anymore. The emperor doesn't like people to be distracted in front of him." Of course, there are no exceptions. It doesn't matter what it looks like, others can't compare it.

"Thank you, father-in-law, for your reminder. I will definitely keep it in mind." Mo Chenglu naturally wanted to thank him for this reminder.

Finally entered the imperial study, the emperor sitting on the high position is still so majestic.Mo Chenglu looked up, then knelt on the ground and bowed: "Craftsman Mo Chenglu, kowtow to the emperor!"

"Mo Chenglu?" The emperor only felt that the name sounded very familiar. He asked, "Aren't you the military advisor next to King Yu? Raise your head and let me have a look."

Mo Chenglu raised his head generously, and said: "Caomin did serve as a military advisor under the command of King Yu, but I didn't expect the emperor to remember it." The tone was clearly full of surprise, as if he was happy to be remembered by the emperor. of.

It's just that after seeing his face clearly, the emperor said: "I see that you still look familiar, as if I've seen him somewhere before."

Eunuch Chen thought of what Master Lin had said to him, and reminded him from the side: "Your Majesty, Mr. Mo is the Tanhualang appointed by you personally in the third year of Dingyuan."

"So that's the case, I just said that I don't remember meeting King Yu's military adviser." The emperor's expression suddenly turned cold, and he asked, "You were the Tanhua Lang back then, and later became the military adviser of the Northern Xinjiang. No matter how you count, you are not a grassroots person, so why do you have to submit a letter for you through the Ministry of Household Affairs?" These words clearly questioned his ulterior motives.

Mo Chenglu, the clinker, spoke calmly and said, "Caomin used to be Tanhualang. He had been editing in the Imperial Academy, and then he resigned and went to northern Xinjiang to join the army. He also had various official positions... ...It's just that those official positions have nothing to do with the papers submitted by the grass-roots people. The papers submitted by the grass-roots people are for all the people in the world, so it is most appropriate for the Ministry of Households to present them."

"..." The emperor was persuaded after hearing this reason, but only a memorandum or a conjecture was not enough for him to reuse Mo Chenglu, "You have some truth in what you said, but Now that the national treasury is empty, how many roads can we build if we really use the power of the whole country?"

Mo Chenglu put forward a suggestion to the emperor in the booklet, to devote all the power of the whole country to build roads and connect several important military points. At that time, whether it is transporting troops, horses or food, it must be very fast.As the saying goes, "Soldiers and horses go first before moving food and grass." From this we can see that having an unimpeded road can influence the situation of the battle.After building the road, there is no need for aliens to invade. After all, there are few aliens. They can defeat Dahuan only because of the terrain factors. If they really come to the Central Plains, they will be vulnerable.

It's just that road construction can't be done just by talking about it, not to mention that the current state treasury is empty, and the money that can be used to build roads is very limited, so where do you find the manpower for road construction?Dahuan has always attached great importance to the people, rarely imposes corvees, and is extremely slow in repairing bridges and canals on weekdays, let alone building roads?

Since Mo Chenglu dared to take this example, he had already made a complete plan.For so many years in northern Xinjiang, he didn't only care about marching and fighting. He hadn't returned to Beijing for six years. When there was no battle to fight, he would always go to a few nearby cities, so he knew exactly what the people wanted. Everything.The so-called power of the whole country, of course, does not really mean emptying out the national treasury, but really allows every citizen in Dahuan to contribute. There are more than tens of millions of people in the world, so what is road construction?

"Caomin already has a plan to deal with it. I am here today to present this plan. Please take a look at it!" Mo Chenglu took out another memorial from his sleeve and handed it over to Eunuch Chen.

The emperor took a deep look at Mo Chenglu, took the memorial and began to read it.The more he looked, the more dignified the emperor's face was. He thought that Mo Chenglu just had a bold hypothesis, but he didn't expect that he even figured out how to implement it. Of course it was not perfect, but the emperor knew very well that as long as Mo Chenglu followed Mo Chenglu Lu's idea goes on, and there will be great results within three to five years.

"The idea you came up with is quite interesting." The emperor still had a smile on his face in the previous sentence, but his face changed in the next moment, and he said angrily, "But the family of merchants has always been the lowest in the past dynasties. Yes, but now you want me and the imperial court to reward those merchants who are willing to contribute money and efforts to build roads for the imperial court, and promise to allow these merchants to borrow the road after the road is completed, what are you thinking?"

"The status of merchants' families is naturally low, so they will work hard to gain a little status." Mo Chenglu is well versed in human nature, and said, "Naturally, merchants are not the only people who have wealth in the world. How many people are there in the capital? High-ranking officials and dignitaries, they not only have boundless wealth, but also have an incomparably respected status, will they contribute their private property just because of a few words of praise from the emperor?"

"This...of course it won't happen." This is a fact, and the emperor had to admit it, "But businessmen value profits, and there is no guarantee that this will happen, and they will not all be willing."

"If someone persuades you, they will always be willing." Mo Chenglu's expression became more determined, "As long as the emperor is willing to issue an imperial edict, you don't need to worry about these matters."

"..." The emperor was silent for a long time before he said, "After all, this matter is of great importance, you allow me to consider it."

Naturally, Mo Chenglu didn't dare to push His Majesty into a hurry, he took a few steps back and said, "It's only natural, Caomin will leave first."

"Wait a minute!" the emperor called to stop him, "You have come up with such a good idea for me, and I must reward you. Tell me, which official position in the three provinces and six ministries is your favorite? If there is a vacancy, I will definitely satisfy you."

This is just empty talk, not to mention that the left and right prime ministers are far from the age to retire and return to their hometowns, even if there are any vacancies in the three provinces and six ministries, they must be marginalized positions.The princess wants him to be reused by the emperor within seven days. If he is just a small official, he must not pass the test.He stood up straighter and proudly said: "The emperor knows how to use people well, if he thinks that the grass-roots people should be in any official position, the grass-roots people will be the officials."

"You are really a smart person." The emperor praised without hesitation, "Your literary talents are shown in these two notebooks. This time, I will set up a book for you in addition to the six books, and you will go to each department to select people to train. Maybe in the future these people will be the officials I want to send out to spread your ideas everywhere." This basically agrees with Mo Chenglu's ideas.

Mo Chenglu naturally wanted to seize the opportunity, and immediately knelt down to thank the emperor: "Thanks to the emperor, I will definitely live up to the emperor's great trust."

......

Chu Hui also heard about Mo Chenglu's entry into the palace, but she believed that Mo Chenglu would not let her down, so she didn't pay much attention to it.After all, when there is a result, he will send a message to himself as soon as possible.

Now her main thoughts are still on Mu Cheng. Mu Cheng woke up shortly after Imperial Physician Leng left that day, but he was not as serious as Doctor Leng said, he still hurt his head after all, Mrs. Mu stood In front of him, he didn't even know who it was.

Mu Cheng is now like this, not to mention earning money to support his family, he has almost forgotten how to live, Mrs. Mu is old, it is unrealistic for her to take care of Mu Chengcheng alone.After much deliberation, Chu Hui decided to send Mu Cheng to Prince Yu's Mansion and ask the uncle to take care of him.

King Yu knows a lot of things, and now one more thing is not a big deal.Just entrusting Mrs. Mu and Mu Cheng to a prince, there will definitely be many doubts in their hearts, and they have to think of an excuse.

Yun Wan knew that she was in a dilemma, so she said: "Princess is in such a dilemma, and I think she can't talk to Mu Cheng, so why not play a play with His Royal Highness King Yu?"

"What do you mean?" Chu Hui was puzzled.

Yun Wan's method was very simple and rude, anyway, she just couldn't make Mu Cheng suspect them, as for His Royal Highness Prince Yu, there should be no need to hide anything. "If you think about it, the princess can tell that Mu Cheng is a helpful person. If he accidentally saved His Royal Highness Prince Yu, wouldn't it be natural for His Royal Highness to repay the savior?"

"This—this is a good idea. It seems that I have to discuss it with the emperor." Chu Hui nodded, agreeing with her idea very much.

After Yunwan solved the biggest problem at present with a few words, she said, "Princess, the matter of those bullies has been found out. Because the business of Mu Cheng's wonton stall was so good during this period, it attracted the shopkeeper of a restaurant next door. Bear the grudge, the shopkeeper paid a lot of money to hire a few vicious people, to teach Mu Cheng a lesson."

"Do you dare to rape in a restaurant, or is it in the blue sky?" Chu Hui was not satisfied with the result, "Go find out who is behind that restaurant?"

She originally thought that by cleaning up the Yu family, there would be fewer bullies, but now it seems that as long as the butcher knife is not on their necks, they will never restrain themselves.

"It has been found out. The Yuan family is behind the restaurant."
