Ye Xi lay on the bed of the Heavenly Prison, looking at the snow-white walls, full of pride. He thought that he had made great contributions and someone would definitely carry him out of the Heavenly Prison with an eight-carrying sedan chair, and maybe he would get an official position or something else.

Although he didn't care, he was still very excited to be able to make his name earlier than his father and become an official in the court... This is called "Grands from the best and better than the next generation", and each generation is stronger than the next...

The little guy laughed out loud, and suddenly the prison door was developed, and he subconsciously looked at it.

There was no one to greet him, only his father, who took big steps.

"Let's go!"

"Walk?"

Ye Xi jumped up suddenly, "Dad, I was slandered by them and was arrested in the prison. No one apologized for me, and there was no compensation. Just let me go back. It would be too shameless!"

Ye Hua glanced at him, then leaned down and chuckled, "If you think your face is valuable, just wait here, but you can't live in this cell. There are many rooms with more than a dozen people in front of you. Do you want to try it?"

Ye Xi shivered, and couldn't help but curl up his legs and hugged his knees, "Dad, you won't treat me that much!"

"I don't know, but the problem is that your mother will come next time, and she is quite dissatisfied! You kid made such a big noise without passing by me. Your mother doesn't mind making you suffer!"

"ah!"

Ye Xi was trembling all over. He was afraid of me since he was a child. And as he got older, his fear became stronger. As a female god of wealth, I was not easy to mess with. Even if I threw him into the crowd of prisoners, I could do it.

Ye Xi finally became honest. He followed his father obediently and came out of the prison.

The two jailers were kneeling at the door, holding three silver notes in their hands, and kowtowed constantly.

"Young Marquis, forgive the villain! The little one has no eyes to recognize Mount Tai, and the little one has offended him!"

Ye Xi walked over, took three silver notes, looked at them, suddenly leaned down, and took out two of them from the other shoe, a total of five hundred taels.

"You arranged a room for me, gave me wine and meat, and were beaten... Even if this money is your medical expenses, take it!"

Five hundred taels!

What disease can I use so much money?

The two jailers shook their heads quickly, "Shaohou, take it back quickly, the villain begs you!"

Ye Xi glared at her eyes, "If you ask you to take it, just take it! A roast chicken outside can't cost a monday, and a roast chicken inside may not be able to eat it even if it's a thousand taels... If you really feel that it's a little too much, just take some money, buy some quicklime, and scatter it in the cell. Although the person who is locked up may not be a good person, since he will not die, he shouldn't have killed anyone, don't you think?"

“Yes, yes!”

The two nodded like pounding garlic, then looked at Ye Hua and found that the Marquis looked normal and was not angry. Finally, they took the money with courage.

"Don't worry, Young Marquis, we are not a good person in this industry, but we still have conscience. We will take good care of the prisoners in the future."

Ye Xi smiled and got into his father's carriage, and felt good about it with love and luring him with benefits!

"Dad, you said that I'll be better for me next time I'm caught?" Ye Xi scratched her head, "I'm always worried that there will be another time!"

Bang!

His forehead was hit hard!

The old father's snatching eyes made Ye Xi shut up obediently. After walking through two streets, the little guy couldn't sit still, "Dad, Lu Duoxun caught me. Do you think he was dismissed from office or beheaded?"

Ye Hua snorted, "Not even!"

"How could that happen?" Ye Xi asked in surprise: "He spent several times the price to purchase weapons, wasting national treasury and people's wealth. The most important thing is that he even arrested me, how could there be nothing wrong? Dad, don't you feel embarrassed?"

Ye Hua shook his head, "I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to you now... When you think about these things clearly, I will admit that you are an adult. If you can't figure it out, go and study hard with Mr. Qi Tongwen! Remember, don't cause trouble in the future!"

...

It’s true that Lu Duosun not only did not lose his post but also took the title of Minister of the Ministry of Rites and Du Branch.

One person manages two departments, not only the last one, but it is unprecedented.

Ye Xi received this news and was still watching the military newspaper in front of the school... Chai Rong fought against the Khitan in the north, winning victory after victory. Zhao Kuangyin's vanguard had already entered the Dading Prefecture, and the navy also landed in Liaodong. There was also good news, that is, the Jurchen tribes in the Khitan rebelled and responded to the call of the Great Zhou and joined the ranks of attacking the Khitan.

As expected, within this year, the Great Zhou Dynasty is expected to destroy the Khitan.

How majestic and domineering a country with just raising your hand!

It makes people fascinate and their blood boils.

Ye Xi wished he could rush to the battlefield and kill the enemy with a knife, but he always had a question in his heart, why was Lu Duosun safe and why was he promoted?

What are the father and Wang Pu doing?

With a lot of questions, Ye Xi began to read various newspapers and find answers... Gradually, he discovered some clues... For example, some teachers from schools wrote articles in newspapers, and they pointed out that cooperatives have been widely promoted in rural areas to unite farmers.

But the city is still covered with loose sand.

Big merchants, capitalists, and bankers, they have huge wealth, tens of thousands of workers, their financial resources are comparable to those of the country, and their internal talents are abundant. A factory is like a powerful fortress, which is three more terrifying than the original family that is bound by blood!

With the emergence of steam engines, the scale of factories expanded rapidly. Sooner or later, a few factories could influence the national policy of the court.

In order to avoid this situation, the court should go deep into the factory and talk directly with the workers, and share the industrial dividends with the workers, so as to strive for the workers to stand on the side of the court.

And the court also needs to strike a balance between workers and capitalists so that it can effectively manage the increasingly complex situation...

Ye Xi vaguely understood that it seemed that what my father and Wang Pu pursued was balance, that we should balance between industry and agriculture, and that we should balance within industry.

He accidentally drew comics and wrote articles, becoming a representative of speaking for workers... Then others followed up. Speaking of which, Master Ye also followed the world, and had no mistakes... Of course, if someone else stood up and said that without so many gods, it would be a disaster.

After thinking through these, Ye Xi felt that a new world was opened in front of him... Lu Duosun, a guy, was known as a cruel official, and he made him make money and did everything he could. He immigrated and went to the Western Regions in a few million people. In terms of execution ability, he would surpass the vast majority of people.

This time he bought military supplies and suffered a loss of not knowing the truth... He did not estimate the revolution brought by the steam engine... but this cannot be considered Lu Duosun's fault, at least it was not intentional.

Of course, he was not willing to catch Ye Xi, but before he took action, he didn't know that after he caught him, he did not perform any other extraordinary performance except for overcoming Guo Zongxun... In short, Ye Hua was not willing to take him down casually.

If Chai Rong was in the capital, Lu Duosun would definitely be dismissed from office.

But the emperor was not here. Based on the principle of not causing trouble, Ye Hua let Lu Duosun go.

But he can't pass the test easily.

Ye Hua gave him the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and the Du Branch at the same time, so that Lu Duosun could do things and offend people!

First, Ye Hua instructed Lu Duosun to recruit a group of scholars in the name of the Ministry of Rites, and at the same time cooperated with major academies and schools... and asked them to study all aspects of the Great Zhou... population, food, economy, education, astronomy, water conservancy, agriculture, steel, coal, diplomacy... To put it bluntly, the Great Zhou wanted to establish a think tank system.

With these scholars providing objective suggestions, the imperial court will have a more direction.

Otherwise, based on the personal judgment of the officials, anyone will inevitably make mistakes.

With the support of scholars, the next step was the problem of the procurement system. When Li Gu was appointed as the commander of the three officials, there were big mistakes. Later, after several reforms, the disadvantages were not completely solved.

This time, it was a thorough rectification, from top to bottom, hiring specialized talents and strictly implementing the process... The most important thing is that every expenditure must be published to the public, published in the newspaper, and subject to supervision.

At the audit temple, we must focus on verification, enter the factory to understand the real situation, and require the factory to publish financial reports... This series of things are offensive.

Moreover, the project volume is very large, Ye Hua is not polite and handed it over to Lu Duosun.

At this time, Lu Duoxun felt that his shoulders were pressing against two mountains. What was so bad was that he could not complain yet, he could only rush forward desperately and must complete the task as soon as possible.

Wang Pu is in charge of the overall situation, Ye Hua is responsible for supervision, and Lu Duosun is fully promoting it. With their promotion, it is unprecedented. This Northern Expedition did not show too much damage.

The originally planned military expenditure of 50 million was not only not overspending, but also reduced to 38 million taels.

The remaining 12 million taels!

The Northern Expedition Army won victories, and the money soon became useful...

Wang Pu was relieved, "Oh, I can almost give the soldiers a reward... I finally didn't lose any deficit, and I can face the saint with a smile." Wang Pu said again: "Marty, the saint just passed on a secret decree to me, do you want to see?"

Ye Hua smiled. This old man had the intention to joke.

"Since it's a secret order, how can I read it?" Ye Hua took a sip of tea and said casually: "Is it the one I gave to us?"

"That's not." Wang Pu paused, "I said in advance... The saint intended to build a Lingyan Pavilion to bring the heroes of the Great Zhou Dynasty to the pavilion for future generations to pay homage to the pavilion!"

"Your Majesty wants to follow Emperor Taizong of Tang?" Ye Hua asked back.

"I thought you would ask yourself who is the first one?" Wang Pu said silently: "Not only that, Your Majesty's army has just captured Shangjing. Two generals, Zhao Kuangyin and Han Tong, led their troops to pursue the remnants of the Khitan. Your Majesty intends to let them remember their merits in Fengshan in Langjuxu and show their future generations!"
