In the early morning, Huaiyin was walking in the snow, and countless black smoke rose. From a distance, it seemed like fires were on the city. If the residents did not leave the city to take refuge, it would be too late.

In the palace, in an attic, Li Li, who was sitting in front of the window, looked through the glass window and looked at the scene of black smoke rising from the distance outside the window.

He suddenly thought of a problem: Based on the increasing amount of coal used today, the environmental problem of "acid rain" may occur.

This is not impossible, because Huaiyin has a "unlimited supply" of cheap coal from Xuzhou, so the coal consumption has increased year by year. Especially in winter, many people burn "kang", which is indispensable for high-quality and low-cost coal.

He was wondering if it was too pretentious to consider environmental protection issues these days, and a beautiful face suddenly appeared in his vision.

The beautiful face and delicate facial features make people feel pleasing to the eye.

But it was his "exclusive life assistant" Zhang Lihua, who sorted out his eyebrows face to face.

Li Li faced the windowsill with sunshine, Zhang Lihua looked at him, which was considered backlight.

The outline of the other party's face, which was illuminated by the sun, was shining with a faint white halo. When Li Li looked closely, he found that it was thin fluff.

According to custom, many women have to skew their faces (also known as opening faces) before getting married, that is, use thin linen to skew off the facial fluff and trim the eyebrows and temples. This kind of "beauty" is operated by their female elders, which is considered a coming-of-age ceremony.

However, in many film and television works, one of the "close-up" techniques that reflect young women's youthful beauty is that their faces are reflected by the sun, and the fine fluff on them turns into a halo, highlighting the woman's "invincible youth".

So Li Li felt his eyes were a little blurred.

Somehow, Zhang Lihua, who has always abides by "work discipline", is now violating the regulations, not wearing a mask, and is still very close.

So she and the emperor faced each other close.

Even though Zhang Lihua's breathing was very mild, the heat he exhaled rushed towards him, making Li Li feel a little itchy on his face.

Inadvertently, his eyes met, and Li Li was also itchy when his clear and bright eyes were made by his other party.

Beast, she is still a child!!

A roar in his heart made Li Li wake up and his evil thoughts disappeared without a trace.

Zhang Lihua blinked and seemed to have not noticed the slightest ripples in the emperor's eyes caused by the fluctuations in his heart. She quickly completed the "work" and turned behind her to tidy up her hair bun for the emperor.

The atmosphere returned to normal, and Li Li felt that the righteous light was pouring on his body, and he was so comfortable and so refreshed.

People must have a moral bottom line.

As a result, the comb with hair on the back of the neck gently "plowed" and felt a bit strange itchy.

Zhang Lihua combed his hair and then tied his hair bun. Li Li suddenly felt that his ears were itchy: it turned out that he was gently rubbing the sides of Zhang Lihua's hands.

This is considered an inadvertent collision under normal contact, but it is fine if it is once or twice. Repeated rubbing makes Li Li's heart, which was originally "clear and clear", ripples ripples again.

"Ahem, Lihua, pour me a cup of tea."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Lihua responded and turned to the side to pour tea. Li Li couldn't help but pinch the bridge of his nose.

What kind of stimulation did you feel like you started to touch your feet?

Li Li thought so, turned to look at the other side of the bed, but saw Xiao Miaoqing curled up on the bed, motionless.

**, a slap can't be slapped, so not only he is tired, but Xiao Miaoqing is also very tired.

After taking the teacup brought by Zhang Lihua, Li Li slowly drank it. When the other party helped him tie his hair bun, he ordered: "Okay, later, you can serve Miss Xiao."

"Yes." Zhang Lihua responded, and waited for Li Li to finish drinking the tea and took the tea cup.

Zhang Lihua pinched the teacup with her orchid fingers. Li Li felt that when the other party stopped, his little fingers slashed across the back of his hand, making him feel more and more amused and crying.

Are you a fairy invited by the Buddha, who specifically tests my "character"?

Because I don’t have to go to court today, Li Li is not in a hurry to go to the study to handle official duties and slowly get breakfast.

Holding the steamed cake in one hand, slowly gnawing, and in the other hand, picking up the "evening newspaper" released yesterday evening, slowly looking.

"Evening News", that is, newspapers issued before the curfew starts in the evening, chose this time point to allow people to have a rich publication to pass the time after the curfew begins.

Or let those guests who spend the night in entertainment venues have a topic of conversation.

But Li Li was very busy at night, so he often kept the evening newspaper until the next morning to read it.

Now, the "front page" of the newspaper in his hand is a major news: the Turkic army is approaching, and the situation in Youzhou is not optimistic!

This is the big title. Li Li looked carefully and found that the sub title was fine: the official army was ready, and the movements of the Turkic army were under control!

He didn't read the content, turned a page and read the second edition of the news.

He received the military information in Youzhou at the first time and was not worried about anything, because after taking over Youzhou Prefecture in the summer, he made corresponding arrangements.

Li Li and the generals judged that the Turks were likely to attack Youzhou in autumn and winter. This move was mainly to explore the movement and might not really attack with all their strength.

Of course, if the Chu army responded improperly and made the Turks think that there was an opportunity, it would lead to a sharp decline in the situation in Youzhou.

Li Li's attention was quickly attracted by the second edition of the news title: Raozhou Le'an Copper Mine, an annual production of over 9 million kilograms this year is a foregone conclusion!

Although he didn't need to read the newspaper to get the good news, he was still very happy after reading the news published in the newspaper:

More and more people will realize that the court is not short of copper (relatively speaking), so the general trend of copper prices continuing to fall slowly will not reverse.

Looking at other news, most of them are events that occurred in various parts of the Chu State, such as the Xiangshui River section near Linxiang, Xiangzhou, where there were suspected crocodiles.

There are also family massacres that occurred not long ago in Rangcheng, Dengzhou, and minor stampede incidents on the opening day of the Yecheng Jockey Club in Hebei, etc.

Although the timeliness of this news is mostly in a few days or even more than ten days, it is undeniable that newspapers are the most effective news media of this era.

People can learn about the world without leaving home by relying on newspapers.

Therefore, the circulation of newspapers in major cities and commercial ports is increasing.

Even if many local people do not know words, can’t understand newspapers, and cannot afford to buy newspapers, it does not prevent them from gradually developing the habit of going to tea shops, restaurants, and wine shops and hearsays about the scholars “talking” about newspapers.

Because the "newspapers" that issue newspapers are all under the management of the department, the court has mastered new channels of public opinion and can control public opinion in its hands when necessary.

Young newspapers have gradually grown up. This kind of public opinion tool will not be controlled by the gentry, but can be accepted by the people in the city. This is what Li Li cares about the most.

Moreover, the "well-trained" newspaper editors can transform into "title party" and use various appropriately "adjusted" news reporting content in daily life to secretly provoke social conflicts and trigger big debates.

For example, unmarried men and women of the right age are in love but are not recognized by their parents, so they elope (called lustfulness in this era) and settle down in other places and live together.

So, should the local government recognize this marriage?

Or, unmarried men and women of the right age have a job and a residence in their temporary residence and are in love. So, should the local government support them to get married legally in the local area without their parents’ approval?

Li Li could already imagine what the guardians would be stirred up by such topics.

However, he hopes to use this to influence more and more civilians and take that step bravely.

Breaking free from the shackles of clans and regions, he flocked to Jiangling, Xiakou, Shangcheng, Poyang, Yuzhang, Hanshan, Guangling, Jiankang and other places that support "freedom of marriage".

Let young and strong people from all over the world know: You can’t find food or wife in your hometown? It doesn’t matter. Come to these places, there are many workshops and many female workers, and the government supports free marriage!

As long as you are in love, you don’t need a bride or a betrothal gift when you get married!

Before he knew it, Li Li finished reading the newspaper and breakfast and was about to go to the study to work. When he passed the internal and external partitions, he saw Zhang Lihua waiting beside him and had evil thoughts.

As the two passed by, Li Li leaned towards each other and suddenly blew a breath, blowing up a strand of black hair on Zhang Lihua's forehead.

It's like the spring breeze blowing on the willow branches.

At that moment, Zhang Lihua felt her heart beating, her breathing was stagnant, and she subconsciously looked up and looked at the emperor in shock.

But when the emperor laughed, he walked away with big strode.

Next to him, several palace maids looked at Zhang Lihua with shock, and then their eyes were full of envy, but they saw that Zhang Lihua's cheeks were red and even their ears were red.

Then he turned his eyes, his body shaking, and he was shaking.

"Lihua, Lihua, what's wrong with you..." The palace maids shouted in a low voice and rushed forward to support him. Li Li listened to the movement behind him and did not look back, but continued to move forward.

He walked out of the attic with a smile, bathed in the sun, and hummed: "The light of the righteous path shines on the earth..."
