More than a dozen boxes of rare treasures were opened one by one and placed in front of the concubines.

According to their order in the harem, the queen took the lead in selecting their own boxes. As for whether they could pick out precious things, it depended on everyone's vision and luck.

However, the Queen did not select carefully, but pointed to a box, and someone immediately moved the box to the Queen's carriage.

Next came the four noble concubines, then Zhaoyi Zhaorong, and finally the beauty talent. Even that girl Qiudie also chose a box.

After they finished selecting, there were two boxes left. Lu Hao asked people to carry them back first to avoid being snatched away by the Minister of Household Affairs.

"Your Majesty, with so much gold, silver and jewelry, we are now prosperous!"

Tang Yu, the Minister of Household Affairs, smiled broadly.

"Master Tang, construction in various parts of the empire now requires a lot of money. I'm afraid this money won't be enough by then!"

Lu Hao said with a smile.

The smile of Tang Yu, the Minister of Household Affairs, suddenly froze, as if he had eaten a dead fly.

On the contrary, Mr. Dong, the Minister of Industry, laughed and said: "Hahaha... Mr. Tang, don't think about it. The emperor just took the Sui Empire and the Wei Empire into his hands. He will definitely build an official road to connect the two countries. You How much does it cost?"

"Your Majesty, do you really want to cultivate officialdom?"

Tang Yu asked.

"Of course, and also to build the railroad."

Lu Hao responded with a smile.

"Railway? What's a railroad?"

Mr. Dong interrupted and asked, and the others became interested and gathered around.

"Is it an iron road?"

Qiudie guessed with a smile.

"Hahaha...a road made of iron? That's right! A railway is a road paved with rails. I will give you a detailed plan on how to build it."

Lu Haole laughed.

"Your Majesty, why are there so many weird things in your mind?"

Tantai Xiyao asked.

"Come on, let's go back to the palace first. I still have a lot of weird things."

Lu Hao waved his hand, and everyone got on the carriage and headed back home.

This time, the Chinese Empire destroyed the only two remaining empires on the mainland and expanded the empire's territory to the entire continent. It can be said to have completed the unification of the entire continent.

The imperial cabinet ministers decided to party for at least five days and five nights to celebrate the prosperous empire of China.

Lu Hao led the two commanders of the Central Army and the two navy generals and rode into the city to receive a welcome ceremony from the people in the city.

"Congratulations to the Imperial Master! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

Ordinary people on both sides of the street fell to their knees and shouted long live.

Lu Hao waved to everyone. Cheers, screams, and shouts were intertwined. It was a lively and unprecedented event.

Several generals were also very excited.
"Congratulations to the Emperor on his triumphant return! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

The next street was filled with cheers again.

On both sides of the city's streets, imperial flags were planted at the entrances of major businesses.

The intersections of various streets were now filled with banners with the words "Welcoming the Emperor's victorious return to the dynasty and the Emperor's triumphant return".

People from all over the city crowded the streets, and many people on the tall buildings on both sides looked over through their windows and balconies.

Waves of cheers swept through the entire Yandi City like a tidal wave.

Lu Hao created a prosperous age that had not been seen in thousands of years. It was indeed unprecedented and unprecedented. It was also a blessing for these people to witness the miracle.

This time I entered the city and passed through Xunyou. It took several hours before I returned to the Zhengyang Hall of the imperial palace.

All the cabinet ministers, leading the civil and military officials, and the generals leading their generals, lined up on both sides and knelt down at the same time.

"I pay my respects to the emperor! Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!" A loud voice resounded through the hall.

"Everyone loves to be flat!"

Lu Hao responded loudly.

"My dear friends, my expedition this time destroyed the Sui Empire and the Wei Empire, and brought the entire continent into the empire's territory, creating an unprecedented prosperous age. Therefore, the empire needs to strengthen its control over large areas in the south..."

"Therefore, official roads must be built from Yandi City to the Sui Empire and Wei Empire. In order to ensure strong control over the east, west, north, and south, railways must also be built..."

Lu Hao said loudly.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask what a railway is? And how to build it?"

Mr. Dong, the Minister of Industry and Industry, stood up.

"A railway is a road paved with rails. There are two rails below, a carriage pulled by a steam engine on top, and wheels below the carriage... I will give the construction drawings after seeing the steam engine for the specific design plan..."

Lu Hao explained loudly.

"Old minister seems to understand a little bit."

Mr. Dong nodded slightly, and the other ministers nodded in understanding.

"Master Dong, as for the official roads in the north, how are they being built now?"

Lu Hao asked loudly.

"Reporting to the Emperor, the construction of several official roads in the north is going smoothly. Only the section from Wangchuan City to Shadow Moon Beach is still under repair. As for the official roads leading to the Western Region, it has been fully completed!"

"The cement plants built by the empire in the east, west, south and north have been fully put into operation, which is enough to meet the needs of road construction and city construction in various regions. If it is just building buildings, it may not be enough..."

"In addition, several of our large steel plants in the south have been fully completed, and the steel output will be ten times the original..."

Mr. Dong reported in detail.

"Where is Jinling City? How is the construction going?"

Lu Hao asked again.

"The construction of Jinling City is going smoothly. It will produce more than half of the empire's steel and cement..."

Lord Dong responded.

"Yi Zhongxu, how is the construction of the university town going?"

Lu Hao looked at Yi Zhongxu in the distance and asked with a smile.

"Reporting to the emperor, the construction of the university town is in full swing. Since it is building a building, we are doing the prefabricated panels and building frames...and...there is insufficient cement, and we need more cement from the cement factory in Hengyang City."

Yi Zhongxu reported the report loudly and in detail.

"Well, you have to keep an eye on this matter. Bingbing didn't give you any trouble, right?"

Lu Hao thought of that cute and naughty little sister.

"No, and he came to the construction site to see me twice."

Yi Zhongxu blushed immediately.

"This is a good thing! I think highly of you, so do your best!"

Lu Hao encouraged with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Yi Zhongxu quickly thanked him.

Lu Hao looked at Xu Liting, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and said loudly: "Xu Liting, now that there are two more empires, the officials of the Ministry of Personnel must be a little tight, so I asked them to activate a lot of officials locally."

"We are not very familiar with the background of these officials. Therefore, you still need to control the official administration. Starting from today, one more person will be added to the six ministers of the empire, and three more ministers will be in charge of each region..."

Lu Hao knew very well that the current empire was five times larger than before. If the number of officials could not be increased, it would be very difficult to manage it.

Therefore, it is necessary to expand official administration and increase personnel to achieve twice the result with half the effort. (End of chapter)
