When His Highness the Ninth Prince wanted to take over the city construction project of repairing Huangfu, Chen Jiande showed hesitation: "To be honest with you, Your Highness, the repair of the state capital is not the responsibility of the lower officials, but Master Wu."
Although he also wanted to hand over the renovation project of the Huangfu to the Ninth Prince, and believed that the Ninth Prince had the ability to do so, he did not have the final say in the Huangfu.
Li Changfeng is so smart, he can see at a glance that Chen Jiande is not unable to handle it, but is weighing the interests.
He understood that although Chen Jiande was a state pastor, many officials in the state might not necessarily obey him, and there were other big figures behind him.
Chen Jiande is not willing to offend these big figures behind the scenes easily.
Li Changfeng was not angry at all, and said: "Of course, Old Chen, if you are willing to hand over the renovation project of the Huangfu to this prince, I can agree to help you solve the refugee problem."
What!?
Hearing this, Chen Jiande couldn't help but stand up and said with surprise and joy: "Your Highness, can you really solve it?"
Refugees are also one of the people's livelihood problems that are difficult to solve for various places in Daqian.
Now, not long after the world was at peace in Da Qian, there were many refugees in Kyushu.
Not to mention the barren states, other relatively wealthy large states such as Xiazhou and Shangzhou also had little means to deal with the refugees. They could only spend large amounts of money on relief every year.
Daqian spends at least 300,000 taels from the national treasury every year on refugee relief, which is a huge amount of expenditure.
If the Huang government can successfully solve the problem of refugees, it will definitely be a very impressive political achievement and will definitely help Chen Jiande to take further steps.
Moreover, Emperor Qianwu now lives in Changqing Palace in Huangfu. Solving the refugee problem during this period will make it easier to gain Emperor Qianwu's favor.
Li Changfeng was full of confidence: "Of course it can be solved. Don't you come to Baishi City often? Do you see refugees in Baishi City?"
Not to mention refugees, there are not even beggars in Baishi City, so Chen Jiande believed it and said anxiously: "May I ask, Your Highness, how to solve it?"
Li Changfeng said calmly: "We can't say this yet."
Chen Jiande choked for a moment, knowing that Li Changfeng meant to get the repair project of the Huang Mansion before talking about it, he immediately agreed: "Your Highness, the repair work of the Huang Mansion is entrusted to you. Mr. Wu will leave it to the lower official to personally tell you. "
As a state shepherd, Chen Jiande naturally knew that the Huangfu had spent 50,000 taels on repairs every year over the years. The problem was why the results were always insignificant. Of the 50,000 taels spent on repairs, not even half of them could actually be used.
The other half is naturally greedy for ink.
He knew it, but he had nothing to do.
Although he is a state pastor, in the Daqian bureaucracy, many people are very sophisticated. Many officials in the Huangfu are even from the faction of ministers in the capital. He is the state pastor of the most backward state in the Nine Provinces. To put it nicely, he is the ambassador of the feudal territory. , the bad thing is retirement homes.
As long as there is some background connection, being a state pastor will not be held in Shankara, a place like Huangzhou.
Therefore, when he first heard that His Highness the Ninth Prince was going to take over the urban construction and repair of Huangfu, although he was happy, he also asked himself that it would take a lot of time to repair Huangfu well, and he was afraid that Emperor Qianwu would be done with it before it could be repaired even to less than half of the time. If he leaves, even if he is rewarded, he will not be rewarded very much, and he will inadvertently offend some court ministers, which makes him feel that it is not worth it.
But the refugee issue is very important. If it can be solved smoothly, it will definitely be a great achievement.
If it is resolved well, it would be safe to return to Beijing and become a minister in power.
Besides, the one who took over the renovation project was the Ninth Prince, who would dare to frame him.
And even though he was similar to him, he was demoted to serve in Huangzhou.
If it were any other prince who was demoted here, Chen Jiande would still hesitate. After all, he was an unpopular prince, but there was no need to worry about Li Changfeng himself.
Because he knew that Emperor Qianwu was now aware of the earth-shaking changes in Baishi City. When the Ninth Prince returned to Beijing next year to report on his duties, he was destined to soar to the sky.
The Ninth Prince came forward in person, and Emperor Qianwu happened to be in the Huangfu, so all the monsters and monsters had to retreat!
It just so happens that we can take the opportunity to eliminate officials who are not being dealt with. It can be said that it kills several birds with one stone.
After preliminary agreement on the renovation of the ruined mansion and taking photos as usual, Li Changfeng chatted with Chen Jiande for a while.
After all, he had to solve the refugee problem first, so Li Changfeng successfully obtained several medium-sized permissions on this basis, all of which were convenient for subsequent business development. Seeing that it was getting late, he left.
Returning to Changqing Palace, Li Changfeng immediately ordered his people to rush back to Baishi City and bring experts and engineering teams from the scientific research institute.
He's going to start causing trouble!
…
Government Hall.
Emperor Qianwu was dealing with the memorials of the past few days in front of the case desk.
Although generally memorials first pass through several ministers, are then screened, and then sent here.
Generally speaking, only two-tenths of the memorials sent to Emperor Qianwu were left.
However, when it was actually delivered to his hands, there was still a lot of it, and he often needed to deal with it until the third watch before he could barely finish it.
An hour later, Emperor Qianwu finished processing half of the memorials, put them aside, gently rubbed his forehead with his fingers, and said, "Gao Dali, where is Xiao Jiu now?"
At this time, Gao Dali said softly: "Your Majesty, according to your holy instructions, the Ninth Prince has been invited to stay temporarily in Xiuli Garden. However, the old slave learned that the Ninth Prince did not rest immediately, but went out for a trip. Then I went to the Zhou Mu Mansion to visit Chen Zhou Mu."
"You went out and visited Chen Jiande?" Emperor Qianwu frowned slightly. He really didn't understand what Xiaojiu's purpose was, so he looked at Gao Dali.
Gao Dali shook his head: "I don't know either."
Emperor Qianwu didn't care either, he could just investigate this matter when he had time.
Then he bent over his desk and continued to deal with the memorial.
I don't know how much time passed before Gao Dali reminded him softly: "Your Majesty, dinner is ready."
Emperor Qianwu then took a look at the sky outside and found that it was about to set. At some point, giant cowhide lanterns had been lit in the hall, illuminating the hall brightly.
However, most of the memorials on the desk were still unfinished, so he said, "Okay, let's prepare dinner."
After thinking for a while, he added: "Call Xiao Shiyi and Xiao Qi."
Gao Dali asked: "Do you need me to call His Highness the Ninth Prince?"
Emperor Qianwu smiled: "No need. Xiaojiu doesn't know that I know about his father now. If he comes over and finds out, he will definitely be very nervous. There is no need to call him. Next time, order someone. Send a dinner to Xiaojiu."
Gao Dali also smiled, thinking of everything that happened in Baishi City, imagining that if His Highness the Ninth Prince saw that the businessman was his father, his expression would definitely be very interesting.
However, this matter was not something that a slave like him could discuss. He bowed slightly and said, "Old slave, I obey."
After folding the memorial, Emperor Qianwu came to the place where he had his dinner. At this time, a eunuch had already presented him with a plate of delicacies made from precious materials.
Not long after, the eleventh prince Li Jianye, whose back was full of injuries, arrived holding the seventeenth princess Li Changning's little hand. He first saluted Emperor Qianwu and then sat down.
Unlike Li Changning who clamored to be held by Emperor Qianwu while eating, Li Jianye was quite reserved and nervous towards his father.
After all, anyone who was whipped twice in a row yesterday would be scared.
Especially until now, Li Jianye is still confused as to why his father wanted to beat him yesterday, and he is very afraid that he will suddenly be beaten again now.
Emperor Qianwu saw through Li Jianye's thoughts at a glance and said calmly: "Have dinner, I won't beat you today."
After hearing this, Li Jianye's face lit up and he hurriedly said: "Thank you, Father."
However, he had to wait until Emperor Qianwu picked up the chopsticks before he dared to pick up the chopsticks carefully.
Gao Dali glanced at the Eleventh Prince sympathetically and thought to himself, the poor Eleventh Prince seems to have been frightened by His Majesty's beating yesterday.
Emperor Qianwu picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth. It was a delicious dish in the past, but now it felt inexplicably boring.
After chewing several times, I could only swallow it reluctantly.
"Oh, the tea snacks I had at Diantoude are still more delicious..."
Although what I saw in front of me were all real delicacies from the mountains and seas, they tasted a bit like the same stuff as before. Thinking back to the Dian Doude I had in Baishi City, no matter where I got them, they were far better than the dinners cooked by the imperial chefs in front of me.
After just a few small bites, I lost the desire to continue eating.
Emperor Qianwu glanced at Li Changning who was eating slowly, showed a look of kindness, and reached out to stroke his little daughter's head: "Channing, eat more slowly."
Then he looked at Li Jianye who was eating heavily next to him. He didn't look at his little daughter's kindness at all, and suddenly asked: "Jianye, what do you think the dinner tastes like?"
"It tastes very good." Li Jianye has been keen on practicing martial arts since he was a child. He has a large appetite, and the dinner is all made by the royal chef himself, so the taste is naturally quite good.
At least, when he was serving in Anding County, the food he ate was just like what pigs eat, and it was completely incomparable to what he eats now.
So now that I have the opportunity to stay with my father, I naturally want to eat more.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qianwu couldn't help but look at him with pity: "What a poor child..."
I haven’t tried Baishicheng’s Diantou yet, but I think these dishes are delicious.
How pitiful.
While Li Jianye was eating, he felt that Emperor Qianwu was looking at him. He couldn't help but look up. When he met Emperor Qianwu's eyes, he couldn't help but feel confused.
Why does his father look at him with such pity?
Why do you say you are a poor child?
How pitiful is he?
