Done! Your Majesty is going to prostitute me for free!

Chapter 15 Return to Yangqu County

"Yes!" Li Dexian agreed without any hesitation.

What happens next will be discussed later. The worst thing is that he will continue to be hung up.

But if this interesting villain missed it this time, he would have no chance!

You must leave the palace, you must go!

"Okay, then you go back and rest first, and let the prince pick you up before setting off!"

Wang Jingwen sent Li Dexian out of the imperial study, then turned around and asked, "Your Majesty, why do you still want to go to Yangqu County instead of directly summoning Lin Xiaofeng to see you in Beijing?"

"This Lin Xiaofeng is a talent," Emperor Jingjiang shook his head and said, "There is nothing to say about his ability, but his character remains to be seen! I want to see again whether this Lin Xiaofeng is not doing his job properly, or if he really has a bad conscience."

Wang Jingwen shook his head: "Anyway, this guy will do anything to become a local king in Yangqu County. Let me tell you, he is really not a good guy!"

Emperor Jingjiang smiled slightly and was noncommittal.

The investigation of Lin Xiaofeng was, to put it bluntly, to pave the way for Li Dexian.

He only has one heir, Li Dexian.

No matter what, the country must be passed on to him.

Although several ministers are quite capable, they all have one thing in common, that is, they are too old.

Emperor Jingjiang even doubted whether these old men could die after him.

Therefore, Emperor Jingjiang desperately hoped that someone could enter the court and help Li Dexian sit firmly on the dragon throne.

It is not easy to conquer a country, but it is even harder to sit on it.

The difficulty is that you need to know how to adapt and use means.

This Lin Xiaofeng is undoubtedly such a talent.

On the one hand, although his behavior is unusual, he is obviously not interested in fighting for power and gain, and he will not become a powerful official.

On the other hand, after such a person enters the court, he will definitely be a maverick and a loner, and he will inevitably be loyal to the prince.

After careful consideration, he is indeed the perfect candidate to pave the way for the future of the prince.

"Your Majesty... then when you go over this time, would you like to ask the monster in the suona if it can delete your voice..." Wang Jingwen asked cautiously.

Having said this, even Emperor Jingjiang couldn't help but rub his brows.

A headache!

Why didn't I pay attention at first? I signed a contract with him and it was recorded.

This is great!

"Oh...forget it, let's wait until he comes to Beijing in the future!"

·······

Three days later, at the entrance of the palace.

Emperor Jingjiang prepared to take advantage of the moonlight to set off quietly.

Throw the piles of memorials in the palace to the six ministers.

But just as he boarded the car under Wang Jingwen's arrangement, he heard a rush of footsteps.

Wang Jingwen held up the lamp and looked over, only to see a little eunuch running past with small steps, his face full of urgency.

Wang Jingwen looked over carefully and finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was his godson.

"Son, you're running around so late at night, you're scaring me to death!"

Wang Jingwen cursed angrily, and the young eunuch hurried over, knelt down with a plop, and said out of breath: "Godfather! Lord Bai has an urgent memorial, and the slave must be handed over to His Majesty immediately, saying that His Majesty needs to deal with it urgently! Don’t dare to delay even a second!”

Hearing what his godson said, Wang Jingwen naturally knew that it was not a trivial matter, so he quickly snatched the memorial and only said, "Get out of here." before climbing into the carriage.

"Your Majesty, Lord Bai has something important to report!"

Emperor Jingjiang's mood during the private visit incognito became irritable the moment he saw the memorial.

After opening the memorial and flipping through it, my pupils immediately dilated.

Li Dexian was even more curious.

For his father to have such an expression on his face, something big was obviously going on!

"Father, what happened?" Li Dexian asked curiously.

Wang Jingwen also quickly leaned in his ear.

Emperor Jingjiang handed the memorial to Li Dexian, rubbed his temples and said: "A few days ago, there was a flood in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Its banks burst, and thousands of people were displaced. I just moved ten thousand taels of silver from my small treasury, and with the support of the treasury, I could barely bear it.”

"But it's only been a few days! The lower reaches of the Yangtze River have suffered from severe drought due to months of high temperatures and no rain! The crops have failed, the people have been displaced, and the hungry have begun to eat dirt."

"The governor of Sichuan and Chongqing, which was hardest hit by the disaster, handed over a note and asked for the allocation of 200,000 taels of silver for disaster relief."

"Two hundred thousand taels of silver! Not to mention the treasury, even if we demolish the palace, we won't be able to get out so much money at once."

"The key is that the weather continues to be dry. As long as God doesn't pee, disaster relief will continue."

"This year, our country, Jingjiang, has been in many disasters. Is it really God's will?"

Emperor Jingjiang breathed a deep sigh of relief, but he couldn't get rid of the stagnation in his heart.

"Your Majesty, are we still going to Yangqu County?" Wang Jingwen asked in a low voice.

"Go! Must go!" Emperor Jingjiang slapped the window frame and said firmly: "I can't solve the problem of two hundred thousand taels even if I stay in the capital. It's better to go to Yangqu County to buy more drinks! By the way, put the territory map Take it with you, I’m going to study it on the way, how to solve it!”

Taking advantage of the darkness, the carriage quickly drove out of the capital.

Along the way, Wang Jingwen held a lantern, while Emperor Jingjiang pointed to various points on the map and muttered words under the light.

Li Dexian read the memorial twice and was extremely bored at this time.

He also stared at the map and listened to Emperor Jingjiang planning there for a long time, but he still couldn't solve the problem. He couldn't help but interrupt and said: "Father, the middle reaches are seriously flooded, and the lower reaches are dry and rainless. The water from the middle reaches is diverted to the lower reaches of Sichuan and Chongqing. Isn’t the disaster solved?”

"What you said is simple. The middle reaches of the Yangtze River burst its banks, and the floods washed away all the county towns. It was a mess, and the river course was completely destroyed." Emperor Jingjiang shook his head and continued: "Don't say it was led to the lower reaches. It’s even more difficult to introduce river channels.”

Although he shook his head, Emperor Jingjiang also gave Li Dexian a silent affirmation in his heart. After all, if he could understand the map and understand the problem, he was considered good. It's just a lack of experience that makes the problem seem too simple.

Li Dexian stared at the territory map closely and pointed at a black spot on it: "Father, look at this place called Tudor County. It is in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. It is surrounded by mountains on both sides and has a small population. If we can make it here, If the Yangtze River changes its course and directly crosses the current flood-prone area in the middle reaches, and flows directly along the Qinling Mountains to Sichuan and Chongqing Prefecture, wouldn’t the floods in the middle reaches and the drought in the lower reaches be solved at the same time?!”

Emperor Jingjiang glanced at him suspiciously and asked, "How to change the course of the Yangtze River?"

"Isn't this simple?" Li Dexian was immediately elated: "As long as we summon a few Taoist monks and let them cast spells and use rolling thunder to blow up the rocks on both sides, the river will naturally flow along the holes created. And down..."

"what!"

Before Li Dexian finished speaking, Emperor Jingjiang had already given him a huge blow!

He yelled angrily: "I told you to read more books by saints and sages, and you've read them into the dog's belly. You're thinking all day long!"

"If there are really powerful cultivators, how could it be possible that they have not taken action until now, and how could there be wars and disasters?"        “You!”

"My lord, please go back and check all the books in the prince's study, and burn all those whimsical and miscellaneous books for me!"

"Did you hear that?!"

With that said, Emperor Jingjiang gave Wang Jingwen and Li Dexian a kick each.

At this time, the carriage fell into silence again. Li Dexian and Wang Jingwen were as aggrieved as little wives, huddled in the corner of the carriage.

Emperor Jingjiang continued to flip through the map, thinking about how to reduce the disaster as much as possible and cost as little as possible.

After all, in the face of a major disaster, every tael saved can save one more person!

·······

There was no words for the whole night, until the carriage made a loud noise again, waking Emperor Jingjiang from his sleep.

Emperor Jingjiang knew that this was the arrival of Yangqu County.

Although they were exhausted, Emperor Jingjiang and his son couldn't wait to get out of the car.

Wang Jingwen, who had stayed up all night to guide the coachman, also got out of the car.

Li Dexian looked at the unfamiliar scenery around him, and his eyes suddenly widened in surprise.

Spacious roads, boundless fields, and leisurely people.

All this makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Emperor Jingjiang stretched even more, his happy eyebrows spreading.

"Father, those tutors all said that the people don't like cleanliness and the countryside is filthy. But now it seems that they are just making nonsense. How clean it is here!"

"If I had known earlier, I should have gone out more often. The environment here is much better than in the palace, and the air smells better!"

"Let's go, find an inn first." Emperor Jingjiang breathed in the fragrant earthy smell of the fields, and gave the prince a meaningful look: "By the way, my name is Zheng Shimin, and I am a wine merchant. Mr. Wang Jingwen is my accountant, so your name is Zheng Dexian. Hey, what a coincidence, you are really busy!"

"Okay." Li Dexian was still looking around, not caring that Emperor Jingjiang was using his name to make a fuss, and agreed wholeheartedly.

If he came with Wang Jingwen, Emperor Jingjiang would definitely go to Zuiyue Tower.

But it is naturally not suitable to go there with Li Dexian now.

Even if it is a show [rejecting pornography and gambling, rejecting pornography, gambling and drugs], those Yingying Yanyan still can't let it affect the prince.

So the three of them were allowed to wander aimlessly in Yangqu County, with the carriage following behind.

"Your Majesty, there is an inn here!"

"If you have it, then..." Emperor Jingjiang raised his head and was speechless. There really is an inn, so it's called [Youjian Inn].

"It's interesting, let's live here!"

Emperor Jingjiang raised his legs and walked in, followed closely by Wang Jingwen and Li Dexian.

Seeing a guest coming in, the innkeeper's greeting came. His tone was a little polite, and his face was filled with smiles: "Hello, gentlemen! Are you taking a rest or staying overnight?"

"We're staying the night."

Emperor Jingjiang responded briefly and decisively.

The shopkeeper smiled slightly and pointed at the room card on the counter: "Okay, our hotel has three types of rooms: upper, middle and lower. The first-class room costs five taels of silver per night, the second-class room costs three taels, and the third-class room costs one tael. I wonder what you want? Which one to choose?”

Five taels and one night? !

Emperor Jingjiang frowned immediately, and before he could speak, Li Dexian immediately started complaining.

"Why is it so expensive? Oh oh oh, I understand, this is what the teachers say, they only kill outsiders, right?" Li Dexian looked at Emperor Jingjiang proudly.

Emperor Jingjiang nodded. It seemed that the prince had not lost his sense of money because of life in the palace, and knew what was cheap and what was expensive.

"It's indeed too expensive. How can ordinary inns have such high prices?"

"Some guests have misunderstood," the shopkeeper shook his head repeatedly, with a smile on his face: "The prices in Yangqu County are clearly marked, and there is no way to trick outsiders. You can go out and ask around, they are all at this price. "

"The reason why it is more expensive than other places is because Zuiyue Tower has opened in recent days, and there are too many tourists from outside. Under the coordination of Yangqu County Government, the whole county has made a unified price adjustment. Because we are a government-run hotel, The price is 20% cheaper than outside!”

"Official camp? An inn run by the government?" When Emperor Jingjiang heard this, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.

"That's right!" The shopkeeper smiled and nodded in affirmation: "Large-scale industries in Yangqu County are all officially run, and the county magistrate has put a lot of thought into this inn. From site selection to design to construction, he has handled every step He personally inquired about it. His purpose was very clear, which was to build an inn where merchants would feel at home, so that they could feel the warmth and hospitality of Taoyuan County here."

"It is precisely because of this that whenever merchants come to buy goods in large numbers, not to mention first-class rooms, even third-class rooms have to queue up!"

"Huh? That's interesting!" Emperor Jingjiang thought for a while and decided: "Then let's get a first-class room and we can rest for one night!"

"Okay, I'll arrange a three-bed room for the three of you!"

"Three-bed room? Three beds in one room?" Li Dexian curiously caught the key point.

"Yes," the shopkeeper still had a smile on his face, "the beds in our room can be flexibly adjusted, from king bed to twin bed to triple bed, ensuring that guests have the best stay experience!"

Li Dexian suddenly became curious. This inn was really interesting.

Emperor Jingjiang and Wang Jingwen nodded with understanding. In their impression, businessmen were all profit-oriented and tried their best to make more money.

Isn’t it only the eunuchs in the palace who would consider adding extra costs to prepare multiple beds and take care of the guests’ experience?

In Yangqu County, there are really new discoveries every time I come here!

·······

After paying the money, the three of them followed the boy upstairs.

Along the way, the waiter patiently introduced the layout of the room, carrying a pot of tea in his hand, and led the three people into the room. After each person poured a cup of tea, they left.

"Please be patient, gentlemen. I'm going out first. If you need anything, just pull the red rope at the door!"

After Emperor Jingjiang nodded, the boy closed the door from the outside.

It can be said that you feel truly at home and polite.

Having someone like Wang Jingwen serve others all his life makes him feel a little ashamed.

In order to express himself, he quickly suggested: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness, the journey has been bumpy and you haven't eaten well. How about I go get some food and wine first?"

"No need yet!"

Emperor Jingjiang didn't sleep well all night because of the disaster, so he was not in the mood to eat at this time.

"Ah, father, there is a well here!" Li Dexian's voice came, and Emperor Jingjiang realized that the prince had ran into the compartment at some point.

"How can there be a well on the second floor?"

　Guess what well it is, haha
