Hu Yan said obediently: "Oh, since my lord is physically impaired, don't read the memorial today and rest early."

"Well... I... I get it, you have to read the book carefully, don't play around anymore."

Sister Zheng looked at her daughter's lovely cheeks in front of her, and after exhorting her, she couldn't help gritting her teeth, and cursed secretly: "How dare you do such a thing to me in front of your daughter, you damn... ...Ning Chen!!!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Since the mother is physically impaired, the emperor will not bother you much."

Hu Yan lay obediently on the side of the bed, and after chatting with Sister Zheng for a while, he got up and saluted.

Immediately turned around and left.

Sister Zheng watched her daughter's receding back, and her tense body finally went limp.

After a long time.

Sister Zheng had already put on her clothes, and she slapped the table with her jade-like palm.

She gritted her silver teeth tightly, and looked at Bai Su in front of her with a pair of phoenix eyes in embarrassment: "You are so bold... a courtier, a thief!!!"

Like a student being trained by a teacher, Bai Su knelt and sat down obediently, scratching his cheek with some guilt: "Chen...Chen didn't control himself for a while."

Sister Zheng said in embarrassment: "You thief, just now Hai'er was in front of you, but you dared to do such a deceitful act against me."

Bai Su coughed lightly, and said with a guilty conscience: "With this jewel and beautiful jade in my arms, how many people in the world can sit still in their arms, let alone... a peerless beauty like His Majesty."

A seductive blush suddenly appeared on Sister Zheng's graceful and luxurious cheeks.

She glared at Bai Su with her phoenix eyes: "You sycophant, you have the face to say that you have done such an offense that should be punished."

Bai Su rubbed his nose: "I'm an honest man, I won't lie, I always tell the truth."

Sister Zheng looked at the honest Bai Su in front of her, and felt angry and annoyed for a moment: "If you are an honest person, there will be no thieves in the world."

She gritted her teeth tightly, and said again: "If it weren't for the fact that you have made great achievements this time, and you are a hero of the court, I will definitely not let you off lightly, do you understand?"

Bai Su nodded: "Understood Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Seeing Bai Su's obedient confession, and thinking of Bai Su's contribution to the court, the anger in her heart subsided a little: "Then will you do it again next time?"

Bai Su thought for a while, and then said seriously: "I made a mistake, I will probably do it again next time."

"You damn sycophant!!!"

Sister Zheng smashed the bamboo slips into Bai Su's arms in embarrassment: "This is a proposal about building a private school. This is related to the selection of talents for the imperial court, and the governance of the Huns in Monan in the future."

"I will give you half a year, and I must get the private school out of it."

Bai Su scratched his hair in distress: "I just came back from outside the Great Wall, and I haven't rested for a few days, can I quit?"

Sister Zheng raised her slender eyebrows, and stared straight at him with her phoenix eyes: "No, if you can't do it, then I... will have your head cut off from your crotch."

After all, her fair and slender fingers made a gesture of scissors.

Looking at Sister Zheng's serious eyes, Bai Su swallowed bitterly subconsciously.

He immediately said decisively, "I... I am willing to share your majesty's worries."

Sister Zheng looked at Bai Su like a salted fish who had lost her dream, and she left with her head downcast, her vermilion lips curled up uncontrollably.

In the sleeping hall, there is only her behind.

She touched her chest subconsciously, and couldn't help but think back to the scene just now. Her graceful and luxurious face was flushed with blush, and her slender jade hands involuntarily grasped the collar.

The heart, which has always been like a pool of stagnant water, now seems to fall into a stone, causing ripples.

Since returning from Handan at the age of 13 and becoming King Xia, she has gradually become the most honored person in the world, at the pinnacle of power.

While ordering millions of soldiers and horses to drive the entire world, she herself was also bound by the system and laws of the Great Xia, and she became a central part of the operation of the empire, constantly driving it as the empire operated.

Her own human nature of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy seemed to be suppressed by the iron law of Great Xia, and she transformed from a person into a powerful and invincible king.

There is only one purpose for everything, and that is to unify the world.

Let the big summer moon fall on the windowsill of every family for generations to come.

For so many years, she has been busy with government affairs every day for this goal, and has no time to think about other things.

There are no more than three kinds of people I meet on weekdays.

One is the courtiers who look up to her, the other is the survivors of the six countries who want to kill her day and night, and there are all kinds of living beings who respect and fear her.

It seems that in the eyes of these people, she has become a symbol, not a person.

Until I met Bai Su.

Every time I meet him, he always brings me a different surprise, which is unexpected, and I can't guess where he comes from so many wonderful ideas.

He is the only one who doesn't care about official career, fame and wealth, etiquette, and rules. He only cares about her body and treats her as a woman.

Although this sycophant often did deceitful actions, which made her angry and annoyed, she wished to throw him into the dungeon and teach him a lesson.

But I have to say that since Bai Su appeared, her heart, which had been gray for many years, seemed to have a different color.

Has always been mature and steady, weighs the pros and cons every day, and thinks about the tired heart of various interests.

In front of Bai Su, the feeling that she doesn't have to be on guard and has something she can rely on makes her relax a lot, as if her mentality has become younger.

If I let him be by my side, always by my side, it seems that...

No, as Bai Su's mother-in-law, how could I have such an idea.

Sister Zheng gazed at the candlelight in the distance with her phoenix eyes, and murmured: "After tonight, everything will be back to normal, so let's just pretend that nothing happened."

Although she said so, it was rare today. She did not continue to review the memorial, and her eyes were slightly distracted.

Obviously, under the seemingly peaceful pool, there is actually a dark tide surging.

......

......

"Does this count as putting my head on my body first, and doing crime and meritorious deeds?"

After Bai Su came out of the hall, looking at the bamboo slips in his hand, he couldn't help but be a little bit dumbfounded.

Although it was distressing to be forced to work overtime just after he came back, but when he thought of the reward he just got, he didn't have any regrets in his heart.

Is this the mind of an emperor through the ages? It's really full of people's hearts. It's not an ordinary person at all, and it can be compared.

Sajia, this life is worth it.

Just as Bai Su thought about it for a while, and slowly returned to his mansion, the little maid who was looking around at the door, Da Qiao's eyes lit up immediately after seeing Bai Su.

"Master, you are finally back."

Bai Su raised his head, looked at the pretty girl in front of him, and smiled: "Some things in the palace were delayed for a while, Da Qiao, why are you waiting for me at the door?"

Da Qiao said: "Because there is an adult who has something to visit the master and said that he must see you in person."

Bai Su was stunned: "It's so late, who is here to visit?"

After pondering for a while, Da Qiao said: "The man called himself Meng Tian. He came to the mansion to look for the master after the banquet. He has been waiting for a long time."

A trace of doubt appeared on Bai Su's face: "What did Meng Tian ask me for? Maybe she really tied some girl here. If His Majesty finds out about this, I'm afraid it won't be as fruitful for me."

The corners of his mouth twitched when he thought of Meng Tian's serious and rigid character.

"Take me there, master."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Under the leadership of Da Qiao, Bai Su walked towards the study.

Meng sat quietly. She was wearing a black and red plain dress, and the red jade belt tightly bound her waist, outlining her slender waist. Her body was made straight and she looked full of heroism.

At this time, she was looking calm, the wine at the table hadn't moved at all, and her eyes like autumn water were slightly closed.

Even though he has been sitting here for more than half an hour, there is no trace of impatience on his face.

At this time, a sound of footsteps came from far to near.

A familiar voice came from behind: "It's so late, the general came to visit late at night, I don't know what's the matter?"

Meng Tian opened his eyes and looked along the prestige, only to see a handsome young man in white brocade clothes walking in from the door, it was not Bai Su, whoever it was.

She quickly came back to her senses, and looked at Bai Su with a calm expression: "If possible, I don't want to disturb the young master, because I have encountered a troublesome thing recently."

Bai Su was taken aback, and asked, "What happened?"

Meng Tian's slender eyebrows were frowned, and after pondering for a long time, he said, "Didn't you seize a large number of horses from the court of the Xiongnu recently? This is a good thing, but suddenly too many horses were brought back."

"I can't arrange it in a short time. People eat horse chews every day, which is a huge financial burden. I can't find a suitable way to deal with it in a short time. It really gives me a headache."

Hearing this, Bai Su couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, it really is a trouble of happiness.

He can also understand Meng Tian's distress.

Given the current situation of the imperial court, it may not be digested in a short period of time.

After all, today's Great Xia is dominated by infantry, supplemented by cavalry, and there is no need to train large-scale cavalry.

It is indeed not an easy task to find a suitable place for the sudden seizure of 50 horses.

Fortunately, the cattle and sheep can be said that there are not too many farming cattle to produce tools in the Central Plains.

As for the sheep, they can be sold to the people.

The only exception is this horse. Not to mention how many folks don't know how to ride a horse, even if they can, not many people can afford it.

Meng Tian can only watch helplessly every day, so many horses can't be used, they stay in the pasture for nothing, consuming a lot of food, grass and luggage every day, it makes him feel uncomfortable.

She used to be poor and didn't have enough horses, but now that she has managed to get rich, she finds that she can't afford them.

It's just too difficult.

Bai Su stroked his chin, pondered for a while, and said, "Since I can't afford to raise so many horses, I should mobilize the power of the people to help the imperial court raise horses."

Meng Tian was taken aback for a moment, and asked doubtfully, "Using the power of the people, what do you mean by your words?"

Bai Su said with a smile: "Didn't the imperial court set up some post stations to transmit news in various places in the past?"

Meng Tian nodded lightly, and said: "Since Your Majesty unified the six countries, in order to control the lands of the six countries more effectively, a post station was built for every tens of miles to quickly deliver news to Xianyang."

Bai Su smiled and said: "My idea is to reform the post station and turn it into a military-civilian dual-use institution. By adding functions and expanding demand, we can absorb the nearly 50 horses."

On Meng Tian's heroic and pretty face, there was a hint of doubt: "According to the young master, what should I do?"

Da Qiao came in with a soft snack, put it on the table obediently, and then quietly retreated.

Bai Su took a bite of his snack and said, "To put it simply, it is to change the post station, which was originally only used to transmit information, into three functions used together by Your Majesty, court officials, and folks."

"For example, to improve the post station, build a post station every ten miles, let some local officials raise dozens of spare horses in each post station, and provide some basic board and lodging."

"Once there is an emergency at the border, the envoy can start all the way. If the horses are exhausted, they will replace the horses in time at the nearby post station, replenish water and dry food, and eat while traveling without any pause."

"In this way, the emergency situation at the border can be reported to Xianyang in the shortest possible time."

When Meng Tian heard this, his eyes lit up immediately.

She has been on the battlefield for many years and stationed outside the Great Wall, so she naturally knows the importance of the speed of information transmission.

In the past, although Sister Zheng built some post stations all over the world, it was the first time after all, and many of the ideas were relatively crude.

For example, each post station is separated by forty to sixty miles. After the information is sent to the next post station, it will be notified, and then the next messenger will continue to pass it on.

Since there are not many horses prepared, and the need to find horses temporarily, the efficiency of this news transmission is a bit worrying.

If the distance between each post station is shortened to within ten miles, the horse can be replaced as soon as it gets tired.

The horses and people kept going all the way, and the speed increased by a little bit.

If this is used in marching and fighting, the benefits it brings are completely unimaginable.

After listening to Bai Su's explanation, she sat on the side and listened seriously like a disciple asking for advice from her teacher.

Bai Su paused for a moment, then continued: "As for the second purpose, when court officials need to go out, they can register at the post station. The post station not only provides horses, but also provides board and lodging for a while."

"It will be much more convenient for imperial officials to travel in this way, and all officials' travel routes, time, location, and each station will be recorded, and the recorded information can be sent to Xianyang every once in a while."

"Some officials with different intentions or schemes want to escape, and they can quickly find out their whereabouts through the information they logged in the past, so as to facilitate the government's arrest."

Meng Tian nodded, this is also a good way.
