In the early morning after leaving the city, there were not many pedestrians on the streets.
But the prefect came back, and the scene of long-lost court officials waiting to go to court resumed outside the gate of the prefect's palace.
It is spring now, but in previous years, the square outside the gate of the Taishou Palace would still be a bit cold in the early morning of this season. But since the New Year this year, the Taishou Palace seems to have a sense of warmth. Everyone who has been close to the prefect's palace has obviously felt it. The courtiers waiting here are like this. They only feel peaceful and pleasant, and the sleepiness they had from getting up early has disappeared without a trace, which is very magical.
While the courtiers were waiting outside the palace gate, Luo Chuan, who had been practicing meditation under the tree for the whole night since the fire parasol tree took root, was also woken up by Siqi.
He was slightly confused. He waited until Gao Shixian greeted a group of maids who trotted in with their heads lowered to serve and put on solemn court clothes after washing themselves. He looked up at the Huo Wutong and said to Siqi, "I I once heard a saying called drunk oxygen, and now my feeling of practicing under this tree actually reminds me of such a word..."
Si Qi looked at him in surprise, "Where did you hear these strange things from? Hurry up, the courtiers will probably be in front of the hall now."
Luo Chuan raised his hand and waited for the maids to finish the last binding of the court clothes. He twisted his body and swung his arms and said to Gao Shixian, "When you make my clothes again, let them make them a little looser." After saying that, he strode out of the side hall.
"Don't worry, my lord, I will remember this," Gao Shixian bowed to the end and followed quickly.
Luo Chuan strode forward, followed by a crowd of palace attendants and guards. He ignored the group of people behind him who followed them wherever they went. He just turned his head and said to Siqi beside him, "Let's start today. Fire cultivators like Nochi Chuan Jianxiu and Chang Gong, who were selected from Lijun Qingqi or Anbu, will gradually enter the palace to practice, but the side hall is only that big, so forget about the cultivators of the lower three realms for the time being, but there are two Individuals are exceptions. One is you, and the other is the little girl Ganmeizi who came to the palace during the New Year. You are already familiar with this palace. The little girl may be a little cautious, so you can take her with you and treat her as such. A playmate."
Siqi rolled his eyes and said, "Oh."
Luo Chuan added, "This side hall was originally empty and abandoned for many years. Now a tree can occupy half of it. There are many places under the tree, but it is inevitable for everyone to be a little embarrassed when they meet each other to practice, especially the ANBU. It’s still not convenient for a few people. You don’t have to follow me today. Find some suitable people to decorate the side hall and create some space. Lao Gao, please find a few people who can handle things quickly to help her."
Siqi hummed and stopped immediately.
Gao Shixian bowed and saluted, and then picked out five young faces from the palace waiters behind him and gave a few instructions while walking. Several young waiters trotted to Siqi's side and followed.
Luo Chuan asked without looking back, "One of the people you asked to follow Siqi just now is named Cao Man. Who are you?"
Gao Shixian trotted forward a few steps, then followed Luo Chuan with his body bent, "Returning to the Lord, Cao Man was a refugee who left the city begging for food when he was young. One day, he fainted from hunger at the old slave's grandson's house. At the door of the house, the old slave met him when he was out and gave him some food. Unexpectedly, he later entered the prefect's palace and became the adopted son of Cao Shiqing, the chief minister of the harem... Later, when Cao Shiqing wanted to do that Cao Man secretly informed me of the unjust things, and that’s when the Lord saw the things he saw when he entered the prefect’s palace..."
Luochuan looked at Gao Shixian and said, "I didn't know you have a grandson. He's quite old now, right? What are you doing?"
"If you return to the Lord, he is not the biological grandson of the old slave, but also a child picked up more than ten years ago. Now he is in his twenties and has opened a tavern in the city, and his life is not bad," Gao Shixian He said with a smile.
"You are about the same age as me. You should go sit in his tavern when you have time someday." Luo Chuan smiled at Gao Shixian, then suppressed his smile and entered the hall without looking at the sound of people kneeling and worshiping in the hall. Sitting directly on the extremely large golden chair at the top, he waved his sleeves and said, "Everyone, stand up!"
After hearing this, all the courtiers stood up to thank him.
No one raised their head to look at Luo Chuan. Looking at the dark group of people below, he was a little confused as to where to start. After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Since I came to the throne, I have conquered the northern lands and rejected the southern barbarians. I have spent too little time in Licheng. It is thanks to the hard work of all my dear friends that the government and military affairs can always go smoothly. I keep everything in mind. I can stay more time when I come back this time, and I can do it in the court or in various places. If there are any pending matters in the local area, please proceed in order of urgency, Sir Dou, please take charge."
After hearing what Luo Chuan said, Dou Qiu, the chief civil servant who now ranks first among civil servants, responded politely, and then said loudly, "I would like to inform you, the prefect, that the war in Li County is temporarily suspended. It is the spring plowing season in various places. The most important thing is There is nothing more important than agricultural affairs, so let Mr. Chen Yuchen take the lead."
Luochuan said "good" and saw Chen Yu, who was third in the list of civil servants, come out to salute and said, "To inform you, the prefect, now my old land in Li County has been plowed smoothly as in previous years, and the weather is good for farmers everywhere." People are active, and Cangyan is the best among them. The reclamation of new fields is progressing smoothly. This alone has increased a lot of grain tax for me in Li County." He raised his head slightly and glanced at Luochuan with his peripheral vision, and then changed his voice He said, "But the spring plowing in my new land from Li County is not going smoothly!"
Luo Chuan asked without expression, "Why?"
Chen Yudao, "Let's not mention the new battles in Roucheng and Zhengcang. Among the five big cities of Tongcang, Liangcang, Ganshui, Nancheng and Chunyang, all the chief officials of the Sinong government have been in place. Although all the government officials There is still a big gap, but it can still be operated. The reason for the failure of spring plowing is that the above places are still under military control. There are many deficiencies in the county governors and county magistrates in various places. Only the chief officials of the three divisions... It’s a bit difficult to advance the affairs..."
Luo Chuan thought for a while and understood the meaning of Chen Yu's words, but he didn't say anything in public. He said to Zhao Wuji, who was ranked first among the generals, "Zhaojun Lieutenant, the military affairs office is a bit heavy now, but the spring plowing matter is not." There should be no delay. In this way, let Roucheng Chen Jingzhi, Zhengcang Shencheng and Tongcang Chen Shaoxiong meet the agricultural officers and lift the ban on areas in their respective war zones except necessary places. Nancheng, Chunyang and Ganliang The ban will be lifted in the whole area. This year's spring and autumn is very important to me in Li County, so there can be no problems in agricultural affairs everywhere."
Zhao Wuji bowed and said, "My lord, I obey the order of the Grand Administrator."
Chen Yu also bowed and saluted, and then returned to the train.
Luochuan looked at Dou Qiushi and asked, "Master Dou, next."
Dou Qiu turned his head slightly after bowing and said, "Now that we have finished serving as farmers, let's talk about the affairs of the treasurer. Thank you, Sir Wushang."
