When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

King Dongshan said seriously: "You are too late. He is mine now! You can't snatch him from me."

The emperor warned: "There must be a limit to your mischief, or you won't even be able to be brothers and friends in the end!" The gain will not make it worth the loss.

King Dongshan jumped up and said, "I don't care, I just like him! I will get him even if I have to lie." He was determined to go all the way.

The emperor waved his hands in a headache, "I don't care about your matter, but you should also pay attention to it. This kind of thing cannot be put on the table."

The royal family still has to maintain their dignity.

Prince Dongshan was stubborn and didn't say anything, so the emperor flicked his sleeves and left angrily.

Only after the emperor walked away did the King of Dongshan breathe a sigh of relief, as he had finally passed the test of the emperor.

Weidong's identity is now clear to the emperor.

King Dongshan returned to his room, fell on the bed, and fell asleep soundly with the new quilt that Weidong had changed for him.

This quilt is really smooth and very soft. The only drawback is that it lacks a bed warmer...

hey-hey……

The emperor left the Dongshan Palace and sat in the sedan chair, hiding the anger that he deliberately showed on his face. He was not really angry in his heart.

He didn't care too much about the fact that King Dongshan fell in love with a man. If it were in the past, he would definitely not allow King Dongshan to act recklessly.

His poor personal ethics would affect his credibility in the court, and now the emperor still needs his assistance.

But now, the Twelfth Brother has just suffered a great injustice. If he continues to forcefully stop King Dongshan at this time, he is afraid that he will really lose his younger brother.

Therefore, his concession on this matter was also the result of weighing the pros and cons.

The emperor had heard of this Wei Dong a long time ago. When Prince Dongshan first mentioned that this man was his savior, the emperor sent secret guards to investigate Wei Dong.

The owner of a caravan, he has a good business sense and is a shrewd businessman.

To be honest, the emperor did not have a good impression of businessmen, so even though King Dongshan later praised Weidong to the sky, the emperor did not take him seriously.

However, today Prince Dongshan said that it was Weidong who paid for the construction of his palace, which really surprised the Emperor.

Unexpectedly, this Weidong is quite capable.

But that's about it.

After the emperor returned to the palace, he summoned officials from the Ministry of Revenue and asked them to allocate a sum of money to the Dongshan Palace to repair the unfinished Dongshan Palace.

Today, when Prince Dongshan was staring at those half-built houses in his mansion, the Emperor could see his indignation.

Yes, all the other palaces were built as perfectly as they could, except the Dongshan Palace which was never completed.

Now that the national treasury is not so empty anymore, he still cannot disappoint his brother who has been assisting him wholeheartedly.

The Ministry of Revenue worked overtime for three days to calculate the amount of funding, and the abacus beads were almost sparking, before they finally figured out the amount of silver needed to build the palace.

After reporting it to the emperor, he waved his hand and the 15,000 taels of silver were delivered to the Dongshan Palace that same day.

The housekeeper is happy!

Oh, ever since Master Weidong came, the palace has been receiving a lot of money.

In the housekeeper's mind, Master Weidong is a kind-hearted boy.

Prince Dongshan was unwilling to repay the favor, so he lingered at home for two more days. Finally, he had to go to court again reluctantly.

-----

When He Jiao arrived in Yingzhou, he started to rebuild the city, and he placed his most outstanding students in important positions in Yingzhou.

The eldest son of the Mi family did not ask for any official position with real power, so he stayed by He Jiao's side and served as his clerk and assistant.

It seems that he is at a disadvantage, but in fact, he is the fastest growing among the students.

Because He Jia had been an official before and knew the workings of officialdom, he also worked in the Ministry of Works for several years and was very good at water conservancy.

Therefore, when he wants to do something drastic, no one can stop him.

Most of the officials in Yingzhou were punished, and the remaining irrelevant officials were all minor officials.

The officials sent by the court to fill vacancies were not of important positions, because He Jia and the emperor had agreed that the official lineup of Yingzhou would be decided by He Jia.

Therefore, the reconstruction of Yingzhou was carried out smoothly and quickly.

The engineering team transferred by Dongshan Wang was of great help and they were very professional in building houses.

By the time the first batch of disaster victims arrived, the destroyed dam in Yingzhou had already been blocked.

The frames of many houses have been built and official roads have been opened.

The victims finally felt relieved and at ease. Although their new homes have not been fully built yet, it will not be long before they all get their own houses.

Lord He also helped them to settle down and gave them land and food.

Never let them go hungry.

The disaster victims spread the word that the government official in Yingzhou was now a good official, and the people were able to return to live a stable life.

The situation in Yingzhou finally gradually stabilized.

Just as He Jiao was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he welcomed officials sent by the court, who came under the pretext of helping him build Yingzhou.

Haha! If you really came to help, why didn’t you come earlier?

This is because seeing that Yingzhou was doing so well under his governance, some people couldn't sit still and were eager to get a piece of the pie.

He Jia didn't want to be an official because he couldn't stand the unpleasant tendencies in officialdom.

Unexpectedly, even though the emperor had agreed to his conditions, there were still people who were not giving up and followed him.

This is how it is in official circles: some people are thick-skinned and eat as much as they can!

When others have achieved something, they will try every possible means to reap the benefits, and if that doesn't work, they will try to take some of the credit.

He Jia would not tolerate their bad habits and would speak to them without mercy.

When he saw a few extra names on the memorial requesting merit to be submitted to the emperor, he crossed them out without mercy.

Someone found him unconvinced:

"Master He, why is my name missing from the list of people who are being asked to contribute?"

He Jiao glanced at him and said, "When everyone was working from dawn to dusk, I didn't see you."

"Master He, we'll all meet each other sooner or later, why do you have to be so ruthless?"

He Jia sneered silently: "When we were working so hard, why didn't you show any mercy? Feelings are something you only show when you want to."

"Master He, I am not a person without foundation. You must be well aware of the strength of my family in Kyoto. You'd better think carefully about whether to offend my family."

He Misaki raised the corner of his mouth and said sarcastically:

"You should know my attitude now that I have crossed out your name. As for whether your family is powerful in Kyoto... it's none of my business."

"You...I think you don't want to be in the officialdom anymore."

He Jia: "You say that as if the government is owned by your family and your father is not as thick-skinned as you.

Since your family is so powerful in Kyoto, why don't you just go home? Why do you have to suffer in this poor and remote place like ours? I didn't invite you here."
