Chapter forty-ninth danger (2)

When I opened my eyes again, the first thing I saw was that Hu Meixin and Mo Luo were kneeling in front of me, leaning over their mouths to suck for me. Both of them looked at me anxiously, their faces covered with blood and the light red poison.

I didn't know what was wrong, but I felt that everything in my body seemed to have changed, and my true energy became extremely thick, like a stream of boiling water flowing through the meridians everywhere, making me feel energetic when I was in class. I slowly stood up, looked left and right, Hu Meixin and Mo Luo looked at me in surprise, their expressions full of concern.

"Oh my God, is this the realm of heaven and man as Master mentioned?" I looked at my hands in disbelief. Although the windows were closed in the room and the curtains fell, I could see everything very clearly, just as every corner of the house was falling under the soft sunlight.

I almost wanted to yell at the neck. Although I didn't know why it turned out like this, surrounded by that refreshing feeling, I really felt that this time it was a blessing in disguise, and my internal energy cultivation has improved a lot.

...

After the poisonous incident, the girls and I had already become husband and wife. In addition to routine government affairs, I still want to be in the harem every day and enjoy some freedom of being a prince.

A few days later, some news came back from the capital, saying that although the emperor's grandfather was not a pretentious illness, we can tell from the several medicines revealed by the imperial physician that the emperor's grandfather's illness could not be called a serious illness.

According to the official system of the Central Imperial Hospital of our court, the imperial physicians are divided into imperial physician orders and imperial physician chiefs. Generally speaking, the only thing that treats the emperor and his relatives is the imperial physician order. The prescriptions prescribed after each treatment need to be kept in the Great Inn. The conditions of the masters in the palace must not be leaked out. If they disobey, they will be regarded as a death sentence. Although the imperial physician chief is also a medical officer, the palace is only an assistant to the imperial physician order. They have no right to know the emperor's condition. All they can do is run errands for the imperial physician order, and sometimes they can help to grab a few medicines.

This time, the factory guards in the capital followed my instructions. After a while of hard work, they started from a concubine of an imperial physician, and finally found out that the two medicines used by the emperor's grandfather, although they were only two medicines. After some consideration, they found that these two medicines were often used to relieve wind and cold. Therefore, it seems that the emperor's grandfather was not a serious illness, but was just a little infected with wind and cold, at least it was a great possibility.

"A little cold?" I smiled after hearing Cao Fu'an's detailed report. The Emperor's grandfather was in charge of the safety of the whole world. I felt sincerely relieved to hear that he was not seriously injured.

"Your Highness, your last letter, along with the local specialties from Sichuan, have been sent to the palace. It is said that after the Empress tasted the pickled vegetables, she even praised Your Highness for being filial. Now the person who brought the Empress back to give gifts is already on the way."

"Oh?" I nodded and asked again, "Did you bring a reply from the emperor or the queen?"

"Reply to Your Highness's words. The Empress wrote a reply to Your Highness. As for the Emperor..." Cao Fu'an probably knew what I was asking, and couldn't help but hesitate.

"That's good, that's good!" I waved my hand at Cao Fu'an and said with a smile: "The emperor's grandfather and the emperor's grandmother have always been in love. If the emperor's grandfather is seriously ill, the emperor's grandmother will not be in the mood to reply to me. This time, the news from the capital city is probably unmatched." As I spoke, I paused and continued, "This time the factory guards in the capital city will be rewarded. From now on, those who have made contributions will be rewarded heavily, and those who have made mistakes need to be punished."

You should know that when I first established the East Factory, I wanted to treat it as my intelligence organization. It was just that with the lessons of the Jinyi and Jinwu Guards in Beijing, I was extremely strict in choosing factory guards, and they had no official positions. They were just recorded by the leader Cao Fu'an and directly served me.

Of course, supporting the East Factory is still a huge cost for me. Cao Fu'an once calculated for me that, given the current size of the East Factory, I need to have about 100,000 taels of silver every year to maintain it. And it is only under the current situation, let alone the future expansion. However, the importance of the East Factory really forced me to make up and invest a lot of silver in it. I know that in this undercurrent, intelligence is the most important thing.

"If you say goodbye to Your Highness, Luzhou will have a bumper harvest this year, and the fields will be 120,000 hectares..."

Before I knew it, three months passed, and Song Yixuan's belly was getting louder and louder day by day, and good news was finally coming back to Chengdu in all parts of Sichuan. Although the good weather and weather this year had already made me foresee the upcoming good harvest, it was not until I heard the words of the Luzhou magistrate who stood up to report to me that my heart really felt joy and was truly solid.

Yes, the harvest has been good. After half a year of hard work, the heads and officials of various prefectures in Sichuan came to me to report the harvest situation to me. They were surprisingly good, making my heart feel fluttering. You can see that the heads of the four major families, Li Ziru and Zhao Yunshan, were filled with joy on their faces, and everything was the result of everyone's efforts.

"Your Highness, the people of Luzhou have made an umbrella for the people and asked me to send it to your highness!" I wonder if it was because I saw me "the king's heart was very happy", Tong Li, the governor of Luzhou, suddenly said.

"Oh, the umbrella of the people?" I smiled slightly. I didn't know the icing on the cake of the child's gift, but on such a festive day, I just followed the wishes of everyone. "Okay, okay, it's rare that the people are so dedicated, so I took the umbrella of the people to the orphan, so that everyone would like to be happy for the orphan."

When Tong Li saw that I was flattered by him, she smiled and asked me to go out and take the Wanmin Umbrella into Yin'an Hall. When the other magistrates saw that he had "become" and their eyes were full of envious gazes. Perhaps they secretly hated that they would not take the opportunity to flatter me.

The umbrella of the people came up, and after someone brought it to the hall to look left and right, he smiled and said, "The people's hearts, this is the people's hearts. With such people's hearts, what's the hardship in the world?"

After hearing my words, dozens of officials in the hall bowed and chanted in unison: "Your Highness, Thousand Years, Thousand Years, Thousand Years."

I laughed and asked everyone to give up the gift, and said, "I like this umbrella of the people very much. I believe that the emperor will be very happy when I see it. Therefore, I want to send it to the capital and let the emperor take a good look. I am very grateful to the people in Luzhou. If you return to your rule in the future, you need to continue to treat the people kindly. Don't let the umbrella of the people be dirty!" After a slight pause, I made a gesture to stop everyone's momentum of calling for a thousand years, and said, "I know that there are good harvests everywhere now, and the people can barely maintain it, but this is not enough. I hope Sichuan is worthy of the reputation of the country of the Heavenly Palace. I hope that the people can live a prosperous life."

When I said that, I pointed to Qian Guorong, the prefect of Xichang, and said, "Qian Guorong, Gu knows that you are the best grain harvest this year and the fastest recovery of people's household registration. Come and tell Gu and others how you did it?"

My factory guards are everywhere in Sichuan. After hearing about their rewards to the prefectures, Qian Guorong can really be called a capable official in my heart. Therefore, I asked him to express his experience in governing Xichang in public with appreciation.

"I am afraid to go back to your highness's words. I just did it according to your highness's words. I have to bless me, Sichuan and Sichuan people, so that's what I have..."

"I asked you to say it, just say it!" Qian Guorong seemed to be like the factory guards reported, and was a pedantic person, so I had to say sternly.

Seeing that I was like this, Qian Guorong quickly bowed and told him how he had treated Xichang in detail.

It turned out that Qian Guorong was a son of a side branch of the Qian family among the four major families. Although he was born in a merchant family, he did not like business. Instead, he liked studying. This time, because I rely on the four major families to establish a government system, Qian Guorong was pushed to the position of Xichang prefect by the Qian family. Speaking of which, he was really capable. When he was in the previous term, he asked the recruited yamen runners to go to the townships and Lis to get exemption from taxes and labor within three years. Then he arranged for the people returning home to open fields and sow seeds to encourage farming.

In order to allow the people to concentrate on farming, Qian Guorong would go to the nearby villages every day. When he saw the family who had good grain and mulberry fields, he would stop asking, and then give clothes and food to let the people teach the neighbors. However, if he saw that there were neglected fields and caused weeds to grow, he would call people to teach them patiently until they were humbly taught.

Because of his persistence every day, the people under his rule in Xichang were willing to farm, and formed a trend of comparison. Whoever planted the fields better would feel more glorious than others. Therefore, when the harvest came, the grain produced was more than that in other prefectures.

Not only that, what makes me most happy is that Qian Guorong can organize the young and strong people under his rule to practice martial arts during the slack farming period, allowing him to practice certain skills in swords and sticks, and then those who are superb can work in the government office and teach more people to practice martial arts. Under this atmosphere, the people can not only strengthen their bodies, but also do not train a large group of young and strong people who can join the army at any time. This is tantamount to hiding troops for me in farming. It will be a great good thing for me in the future.
