Concubine Hui woke up slowly, and dimly saw a familiar figure looking at her with worry on his face. She couldn't help but wonder if she was still dreaming.

When the emperor saw her wake up, he hurriedly asked softly, "Hui Er, how do you feel? Are you feeling better?"

Concubine Hui was a little dazed, and answered subconsciously: "Your Majesty, is it really you? I just feel a little unwell, and I will be fine after a short rest. These servants are too ignorant, how dare they disturb your majesty?"

The emperor quickly comforted her, "Don't talk nonsense. You are my beloved concubine. If you are unwell, you should come to me. What's more, I have a great happy event to tell you this time."

......

An Chen and Xu Zhen returned to Prince Chen's Mansion together. Even though he had developed a new job structure and management methods, he was still unwilling to accept it.

In his opinion, no matter how ingenious the method is, it still requires a lot of effort to execute and work hard. He wanted to hand it over to the emperor, but he didn't expect the emperor to push everything onto him. Now that he is so free and at ease, isn't it more pleasant to live whenever he wants?

Moreover, a brand new management means that large-scale changes must be made. However, under the current situation, the court has no one available, so how can he, a commander without any troops, start to do it?

Xu Zhen comforted him, "When you get to the mountain, there will always be a way out. The selection exam is coming soon, so you can take this opportunity to form your own secretarial team. Although there are some disadvantages to hiring all new people, they are all blank slates, and you have the final say on how to teach them."

An Chen looked at his young wife aggrievedly and said, "Help me, Zhenzhen."

Xu Zhen knew that he was pretending, but he still couldn't help but feel distressed. To manage a country, the leader will lose everything he has and can only serve the public, the people and everyone.

She patted his hand gently and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will not abandon you." There was a hint of worry in An Chen's eyes, but it was soon replaced by worry about the future.

He frowned, thought for a moment and then said: "Now that our food supply is finally guaranteed, should we start thinking about how to develop the economy next?"

Xu Zhen smiled slightly, with a determined light in her eyes. She said with great ambition: "I have a plan, which is to build factories in various places, focusing on deep processing of local unique resources and then bringing them to the market."

An Chen couldn't help but exclaimed: "This method is really ingenious! In this way, it not only solves the problem of sales channels for local specialties, so that they are no longer limited to the local area, but also creates a large number of employment opportunities for local people.

Moreover, through deep processing, the value of these specialties will be further increased. At the same time, local taxes will also have a stable source. This is simply killing four birds with one stone! My wife is really smart and can come up with such a brilliant idea!"

Xu Zhen continued, "However, building a factory is not something that can be done overnight. It will take a lot of time, but the people in various places may not want to wait too long. We must find a solution that satisfies both parties and allows the people to make money as soon as possible."

An Chen agreed: "That's true. We have enough food and plenty of energy now. If we do nothing, it will easily lead to trouble."

Xu Zhen continued to analyze: "Nowadays, newspapers have become a household name and can be spread to every corner of the country in one day. However, due to the high transportation costs, those remote areas can only rely on helicopters for delivery. Fortunately, the supply of fuel in space is endless and unlimited. But this is not a long-term solution after all. Otherwise, we can vigorously promote road construction while building factories."

An Chen: "I heard from the secret guards that five motorcycles were assigned to each city to ensure that the newspapers could be delivered to everyone as soon as possible. In order to complete this task, they have to rush all night to deliver newspapers, which is very tiring. If the road is repaired, they will be able to relax a little."

Xu Zhen: "I didn't expect you to care so much about your subordinates, great!"

An Chen: "I learned all this from you. You consider your subordinates more important than yourself."

Xu Zhen: "We just talk, but they run themselves to death, so we should respect their human rights even more."

An Chen: "Yes, yes, my wife is right. Then let's start recruiting people to repair the road. But the road to the school has not been fully repaired yet, and it will take a while to find people who can be used. It really proves what you said, you only regret not having enough people when you need them!"

He sighed and continued, "But it doesn't matter. We can first transfer some people from other places and let them go back after the project at the school is completed. Or we can also post a job notice to see if there are people willing to help. After all, once this road is repaired, it will benefit everyone."

Xu Zhen thought about it and nodded, "Well, you are right. Let's do as you say. But when recruiting people, we must pay attention to selection and not just anyone. It is best to find some experienced and skilled people, so as to ensure the quality and progress of road construction."

An Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, my dear wife. I will take good care of it. Besides, don't you still have me by your side to help me with advice? With you here, I believe everything will go well."

The two smiled at each other, and then began to prepare to recruit people to build the road.

Xu Zhen looked at An Chen and said firmly, "Let's make some adjustments. We don't have anyone, but does Anguo have no people? We are all working for Anguo, so we need to let the people participate. We can't do everything and let them sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor. Besides, the people may not be grateful to us. They may even think that we are not giving them a way out and taking all the opportunities to make money for ourselves."

An Chen frowned, thought for a moment and asked, "Wife, is there any good idea?"

Xu Zhen smiled and answered confidently: "There are wealthy gentry everywhere. They have a lot of money and people. Why don't we just outsource the project? This will save us both trouble and effort."

When An Chen heard this, he suddenly understood. He had seen this method in books before, but when it came to practical application, he still habitually followed the inherent thinking mode. No wonder his wife said she wanted to reorganize the secretarial team, and she wanted to use all new people!

An Chen stood up excitedly and said, "I will go to the palace to see my father and discuss this matter with him." After that, he turned and left in a hurry, eager to tell the emperor this good idea.

Xu Zhen: "No way, didn't you just come back? Besides, do you think your father has time to care about you now?"

An Chen: "Oh! Father is such a fool. He is in good health, why would he abdicate? Even if Concubine Hui is pregnant, it has nothing to do with him. He is just making up an excuse. Zhenzhen, go and have a rest first. I will ask the Prime Minister and some ministers to come and discuss it."

In the study of Prince Chen's mansion, Prince Chen, Prince Jing, the Prime Minister, the Prince Consort, the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of Rites, the Minister of Works and others gathered together.

An Chen told the ministers present in detail about what he and Xu Zhen had discussed about outsourcing the road construction, and asked them for their views or opinions on it.

The Minister of Industry spoke first, "This is indeed a good thing! However, road construction requires a large number of engineering vehicles, but we don't have enough reserves at the moment, right?"

An Chen smiled and answered confidently: "Don't worry about this problem. Zhenzhen has proposed a solution. She plans to set up a company specializing in renting construction vehicles. In this way, anyone who needs to use a construction vehicle can go to the company to rent it.

This task will be managed by the Ministry of Industry, and of course the profits will belong to the Ministry of Industry. I hope you can use these funds to develop more high-quality products that benefit the country and the people. "

The Minister of Works was so excited that he was shaking all over, and praised with a trembling voice: "The Goddess Queen is really wise! Since the Goddess provided us with many tool drawings, we have finally been able to hold our heads high! Now, we have a very good reputation in the hearts of the people, and even the emperor praises us. If we can successfully complete the road construction, maybe we can leave our heroic name in the annals of history!"

The Minister of Revenue obviously did not want to be overshadowed by the Ministry of Works. He asked unwillingly, "Road construction is a big deal. It will definitely require a lot of manpower. How can we not get involved in this?"

An Chen seemed very calm. He comforted the Minister of Revenue and said, "Grandfather, please be patient. There are more important things waiting for you to do."

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Revenue was immediately perked up and asked anxiously, "Is that true? What exactly is going on?"

An Chen smiled and explained, "Nowadays, many places have unique local resources or industries. However, due to the current situation, the people are short of money. Therefore, we must find a way to find something for them to do so that they can earn some money, so as to ensure that they can live a prosperous life and live and work in peace and contentment. Only when the people become prosperous can the country develop better."

The Minister of Revenue immediately understood An Chen's intention. He said without hesitation: "Okay, Chen'er, just tell me! What do you want me to do?"

An Chen: "Many local specialties are not easy to preserve, so they have been difficult to sell. Why don't we build deep processing factories there? Processing local specialty products will make them easier to transport and keep for a long time. This way, they can be sold to various places and allow local people to make money."

The Minister of Revenue frowned and said, "The local people don't know how to process it, so what can we do?"

An Chen smiled slightly and said confidently: "We don't know, don't we still have the princess?"

After hearing this, the Minister of Revenue suddenly realized something, slapped his forehead, and said with a smile: "Yes, with the goddess here, she knows everything. Okay, just tell me what to do, and I will definitely lead people to do this well."

After saying this, he glanced at the Minister of Industry provocatively, his eyes revealing a kind of complacency and pride, as if silently saying: "See, my grandson is still on the side of our Ministry of Revenue."

The Minister of Industry was so angry that his mouth twitched. He felt helpless, but he could only shake his head helplessly. He sighed inwardly, "Alas, who told you that you are the prince's grandfather? I don't want to argue with you about this!"

An Chen: "The time for the selection exam is coming soon, Minister of Rites, please notify all places and ask them to start preparing for the exam! As for the specific time and location of the exam, it will be announced in the newspaper, so please pay attention."

Minister of Rites: "As you command! But... how can we set the test questions so that they meet the requirements and are fair?"

An Chen: "Regarding this issue, I have already made arrangements. The test papers have been prepared in advance. Next, you need to determine the number of people who have signed up for the exam, and then we can print the corresponding number of papers based on the actual situation. By the way, let's continue printing at the Prince Consort's printing shop, but this time I have to trouble the Prince Consort to ensure the confidentiality of the entire process."

Prince Consort: "Your Highness, rest assured. In order to ensure the safety and confidentiality of the printing work, I have specially built a separate top-secret printing factory, which is dedicated to printing important and confidential documents or items. Just like every issue of the newspaper, it will be kept strictly confidential before it is officially published. The workers in the factory are carefully selected from the charity institute founded by the princess and the crown princess. They are loyal to the royal family and can ensure that nothing goes wrong."

An Chen nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Very well done! In this case, please ask the Prince Consort to assist the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue to spread the notice of building factories and roads to all parts of the country."

King Jing looked at the people in front of him who were busy with things, and he couldn't hold back his excitement. He asked, "Chen'er, now solar tiles and solar photovoltaic panels can be installed and used skillfully. So, when can we start the construction of our power plant? Look, even the suburbs of Beijing have started using biogas to generate electricity. The people in the capital have come to ask, when can they enjoy the convenience of electricity?"

An Chen smiled and answered confidently, "Don't worry, uncle. Cement is already on sale in various places. Anyone who builds a cement house is eligible to purchase solar tiles or solar photovoltaic panels first. Moreover, Zhenzhen has already arranged for Qian Mingcheng to open a store specializing in selling these products.

The shop is currently being renovated and will be officially open for sale soon. If anyone is interested, as long as they think their house is strong and durable enough, they can go and buy it. "

Upon hearing this news, the ministers present were also very excited. Their mansions had long been eager to have electricity.
