How come you spend so much money?

He Shen was a little confused.

The entire Wei Kingdom was devastated and pressured by the war. Logically speaking, after the new emperor ascended the throne, shouldn't he be frugal and waste everything he needed to make progress?

The more you spend, the better?

How do you say this?

Although he had doubts in his heart, He Shen did not dare to ask directly, "Wei Chen has remembered it clearly. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

After Zhao Changqing said ‘hmm’, he said: “Step back, Zhao Gao, and see him off for me.”

Although it was just talk, when He Shen heard these words, it was the highest honor. He bowed his head and said: "I would like to thank your Majesty for your grace!"

Zhao Changqing waved his hand towards him.

Zhao Gao led the way, and He Shen left the Daming Palace.

On the way out of the palace, Zhao Gao smiled at He Shen and said, "Congratulations, Mr. He, for taking on the task of building the imperial city. From now on, I can be said to be prosperous."

He Shen concealed his inner joy and pretended to be serious: "All of this is indispensable for adults to remind me. If adults hadn't reminded me just now when I was distracted, I'm afraid my head would have fallen to the ground by now."

Zhao Gao laughed and said: "Oh, that's different from what I said. You are a lucky person and have your own destiny."

Zhao Gao thought He Shen was very good and did not show any disdain because of his identity.

He could feel that He Shen really respected him.

After hearing what Zhao Gao said again, He Shen changed his appearance and asked happily: "Master Zhao, please stop teasing me, but having said that, I have a question, why did your majesty let me take charge of the construction of the imperial city?

"

Zhao Gao figured this question out when he was in the palace, so he answered directly without hesitation: "Master He, do you still remember the first question His Majesty asked you when he met you?

Your answer is that you did not participate in the opposition to the establishment of factory guards, and it is this that makes His Majesty think that you are not suspected of forming a clique for personal gain. In this way, His Majesty will be relieved to send you, a lonely minister in the imperial court, to Luoyang.

In recent days, Your Majesty has often read the memorials sent by civil and military officials, and has already kept their names firmly in mind, but you are not among these people.

Perhaps your luck has come, and your Majesty suddenly had an idea, and suddenly thought of your name, and you were not found among the people mentioned in the memorial, so I decided to meet you.

Obviously, His Majesty was not disappointed when he saw Mr. He today, otherwise he would not have entrusted you with such an important task."

Upon hearing this, He Shen clasped his fists and said, "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. He Shen has learned from his teachings. I will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations and build the imperial city to perfection."

However, I still have a question, what does His Majesty mean when he says that spending more money is better? At this time, shouldn’t we save money on the expenses of the court?”

Zhao Gao shook his head and said: "Master, there are some things that I cannot tell you clearly, but there is one thing I can tell you, that is, what your Majesty said is actually a test for you."

"Test?" Heshen thought to himself with a tight frown as he walked: "What can I test? Could it be that His Majesty is saying something ironic, just to see if I have the ability to do things? Or...

Your Majesty asked me to freely allocate money to build the imperial city, just to see if I will be moved by money and whether I can be put to great use in the future? If this is the case, His Majesty's intention is too profound!

I must do my best to handle the affairs of the Imperial City. I will use every penny to make my loyalty known to Your Majesty! As for the money used to build the Imperial City, I must not be greedy for a single penny this time. Not only can I not

Greed cannot allow anyone to be greedy!

I have to let His Majesty see my ability!"

He Shen made up his mind and his eyes became much firmer.

Since His Majesty thinks highly of himself, he must do his best!

In the Daming Palace.

Mi Yue didn't know why Zhao Changqing said that she shouldn't be afraid of spending money on building the imperial city, but as a woman, it was always difficult for her to deal with such things.

With the beauty nearby, Zhao Changqing was reluctant to walk outside. He looked at Mi Yue and said with affection in his eyes: "Mi Yue."

"His Majesty."

"Would you like to give me a baby?"

"..."

It was cloudy and rainy again.

It continued at night.

With the physique of a land god, he is full of energy, even if he has to plow the fields all night, he will still be able to do it.

Early the next morning.

Mi Yue had just traveled a long distance to the capital, and after several strenuous exercises, she was really exhausted physically and mentally. When asked to cater to Zhao Changqing again, she was no longer capable.

Morning time has arrived.

Mi Yue was naked, nestled softly in Zhao Changqing's arms, and said softly: "Your Majesty, it's time to go to court."

Zhao Changqing rubbed his eyes, unwilling to open them, and said: "Go on to sleep, don't worry about morning."

Therefore, he did not go to the morning session today.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were still confused.

Isn't it the third day that we won't have morning service?

The new emperor has ascended the throne. Doesn't he need to be more diligent?

Although they had opinions in their hearts, they guessed that His Majesty acted like this just to see who would have a harder time persevering.

But they never thought that Zhao Changqing simply didn't want to go to the morning court. There was no other reason why he didn't care about the civil and military affairs of the court.

The next day, Zhao Changqing still did not attend the morning court.

The third day…

Day four…

Zhao Changqing has not attended the morning court for six or seven consecutive days, which is rare in the history of the Wei Dynasty.

For six or seven consecutive days, Mi Yue was tortured to the point where she was no longer human.

It's swollen there and hurts when touched.

But Zhao Changqing still felt that he still had more to say.

But seeing Mi Yue's pitiful and tender look begging for mercy, he had no choice but to give up.

That's right, Zhao Changqing has been with Mi Yue these past few days, and the two of them have never left the Daming Palace.

Mi Yue would remind him every morning when it was time to go to court, but he would not go, showing an expression of love.

In the end, Miyue begged him to go to the morning court, but he scolded her, and then continued to lie and sit, preferring to be bored and dazed rather than go to the morning court.

In the past few days, Zhuge Liang, Xiao Yuming, and Cao Shen came every day. At first, Zhao Changqing could see him, but after two days, he got tired and even they disappeared.

This made them anxious.

But what can they, the ministers, do?

All we can do is worry and stare!

A major event has happened recently, and that is that the general system of the East Factory has been completed. After the nationwide layout is completed in a few days, the factory health organization will be officially put into operation.

For Zhao Changqing, this is a gratifying thing.

And He Shen fulfilled his mission and rushed to Luoyang City in the past few days to urge them to build the imperial city.

Whether it is brick or tile, plant or tree, He Shen uses the highest scale and best things, striving to build the new capital into the most luxurious town in the world.

In this way, don’t feel like you are spending too much money.

In order to make Zhao Changqing look up to him, He Shen went to merchants all over the country to personally act as a lobbyist, persuading merchants to sell him the things used in building the city at a cheap price.

It is not known exactly what he said, but in the end, He Shen did rely on his sharp tongue and Shen Wansan's prestige to force the merchants to make concessions.

Things that should have cost ten thousand taels of silver were reduced to around six or seven thousand taels by He Shen, so the profits that the merchants could earn were very little.

Some people even made deals with the imperial court at a loss.

You must know that they all have the shadow of aristocratic families behind them. It is really strange to be able to make such concessions. This further illustrates Heshen's ability.

He made proper use of every penny, not even a tael of silver, but instead saved a lot of money for the court and Shen Wansan.

Shen Wansan was still thinking that when the new imperial city was about to be built, he would write a letter to His Majesty specifically about He Shen's contribution. His Majesty would definitely be very happy when he heard that so much money had been saved.

Thinking of this, he also smiled.
