My country is dying

Chapter 332

The servant girl behind her laughed immediately after hearing the words: "No, I heard that the emperor fought against the ministers in the court this morning. His appearance and posture are very similar to those of the late emperor. Even the regent stood on the emperor's side! "

"Really?" Guan Ruyan's eyes were starry, and she suddenly looked at the maid beside her, "During this time, please inquire about the emperor's daily whereabouts for me."

The maid immediately responded with a smile: "Understood, Miss."

After discussing the drought and flood with Hou Junli for an afternoon, we have made proper arrangements. For the shortage of funds, Hou Junli and Xiao Hen will lead their party members to donate supplies first, in order to fulfill the promise of never to blame , and even adopted the anonymity system. In this way, while eliminating the hidden dangers of officials, it also gave them a chance to reform themselves.

For several days in succession, there was a wave of fundraising among the ruling and opposition parties, and not only the ruling and opposition parties, but also the dignitaries in the capital also participated. Suddenly, the relief funds for the drought and flood disasters were considered ready.

Mi Le turned the new pen of the Ministry of Industry, looked at the report on the disaster in front of him, couldn't help but frowned and said: "The places in the south of the Yangtze River have been suffering from drought and flood almost every year for many years. If the construction of the river course is not accelerated, it will be a temporary solution, not the root cause!"

Hou Junli glanced at her: "What good plan does the emperor have?"

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools!" Her eyes glowed.

Hou Junli narrowed his eyes slightly: "Tools?"

Mi Le nodded: "That's right, once you have the tools ready, you can get twice the result with half the effort! Tomorrow, you can find someone to bring you all the drawings of the tools you need to build the river, and I'll take a look first!"

Hou Junli glanced at her with dark eyes: "You understand this?"

"Understanding, let's read it first and then talk about it!" At this point, Mi Le thought of something again, and went to find Yu Quan directly, "Go, get General Xiao."

Yu Quan responded immediately, and Hou Junli looked at her: "Why are you looking for Xiao Qi?"

"You don't understand. General Xiao is very familiar with all the places in the capital. He must be the only one who can find such a skilled craftsman!"

Hou Junli looked at her: "Isn't the court not enough skilled craftsmen?"

"People in the imperial court are naturally good, but the great hermits live in the city, and the better ones are always among the people!" Speaking of these, Mi Le can be said to be eloquent.

Hou Junli looked at her for a moment, his eyes darkened: "It seems that the emperor has a plan in mind for this matter. If so, I will leave this matter to the emperor."

Mi Le patted his chest immediately: "Small."

Hou Junli glanced at her chest, then looked away, and continued to critique papers.

Not long after, Xiao Qi came, and he was not surprised to see Hou Junli.

Anyway, the emperor sticks with this guy every day, so he knows he is here without guessing.

After listening to Mi Le's words, Xiao Qi's eyes brightened: "Don't worry, the emperor, it's right to leave this matter to the humble minister. Tomorrow morning, the minister will definitely bring this person into the palace!"

Mi Le breathed a sigh of relief: "I know you are the most reliable in this matter!"

Xiao Qi smiled when he heard this, his eyes glanced at Hou Junli who was at the side, he immediately raised his chin slightly, and strode out.

The next day, Xiao Qi really brought all the people who should be taken, and Hou Junli also sent the blueprint of the Ministry of Industry.

After Mi Le saw it, he handed over the drawings to the craftsman, and drew a few more drawings to discuss with the craftsman.

The craftsman was deeply impressed by what Mi Le proposed, and he had a little understanding of the method, and immediately said: "These things from the emperor, I'm afraid the grassroots will have to take them back and try."

"Then I'll give you a few more blueprints!"

The rest of the blueprints were carefully drawn by Mi Le and handed over to the craftsman. The craftsman was also quite happy, and took those blueprints back to test on the same day.

Xiao Qi was very curious about these things: "How does the emperor understand this? How did he come up with it?"

Mi Le smiled cheerfully: "Isn't this something I've been doing since I was a child, and I just figured it out? Whether it's okay or not, the craftsman has the final say!"

Xiao Qi nodded when he heard this, but in an instant he raised two thick black eyebrows and said: "But the emperor's blueprints mostly require iron tools. It's fine if it's a small scale, but now the river course is a big project. With 10 people building river channels and using so much iron, I am afraid that the imperial court will not be able to do it.”

Mi Le blinked and looked at him: "Ironware is scarce?"

Xiao Qi nodded: "Every year, most of the ironware produced by Jinyan Country is used for military supplies and weapons, and the rest is used to refine other things. With so many workers, there may not be enough ironware!"

Mi Le held his cheeks and frowned: "I really haven't considered this."

After thinking about it, she looked at Xiao Qi: "Among all the countries today, which one produces the most iron?"

Xiao Qi's eyebrows brightened immediately: "Soul Moon Country! Soul Moon Country has an iron city, and iron ore is inexhaustible, and the reason why Soul Moon Country can rank among the countries as a small country is that this iron city, It is indispensable!"

Mi Le changed his mind: "I see, you go and follow up the progress of those craftsmen for me first, and as for the ironware, I will find a way!"

Xiao Qi immediately clasped his fists together: "I take orders!"

After Xiao Qi left, Mi Le immediately went to Hou Junli with this question.

"Is there any way to get this iron ore from Soul Moon Country?"

Seeing her burning eyes, Hou Junli pondered for a moment and said, "Iron ore is the lifeblood of Soul Moon Kingdom, I'm afraid it won't be taken out so easily."

"Didn't you say it's inexhaustible? Since it's inexhaustible, it shouldn't be that difficult, right?"

Hou Junli looked at her, paused for a moment before saying: "If you want to use it, it is also on the premise of the cooperation between the two countries. The one who is going to marry the Ninth Princess in Hunyue Kingdom, the emperor thinks that with the status of the Ninth Princess, no matter who The most suitable?"

Mi Le glanced at him: "How about you marry?"

Hou Junli's eyes suddenly became cold: "Why didn't the emperor say that he was married?"

Mi Le smiled awkwardly: "Isn't the ninth princess thinking of you all the time! If she likes me, I definitely don't mind marrying another beauty back home!"

Hou Junli withdrew his gaze, his eyes were cold: "The country belongs to the emperor, and I can help the emperor remove obstacles, but the premise is that I can remove these obstacles. As for the nine princesses, the emperor can decide for himself."

Mi Le immediately held his hand and shook it lightly: "Don't do that, I'm just joking, whatever, I can't bear to be the regent!"

Hou Junli looked at her indifferently, and brushed off her hand: "The memorial has been approved, so I won't stay in the palace any longer."

After all, he stood up, as if to leave.

Mi Le immediately waved his hand and asked Yu Quan to close the door, and blocked his way in the next second: "Don't go, we can discuss this matter, otherwise, I will marry you!"

Hou Junli's expression became even colder: "Is the emperor so impatient to accept the concubine?"

　The fourth watch, [-] words, um, there are more before twelve o'clock
