Forcing me to keep vigil for your childhood sweetheart? Then I'll leave you.

The reason why Hao Zhong could speak so boldly was that he had been giving Huangfu Qingling constant psychological hints during the month he became prime minister.

So at this point, Huangfu Qingling had already heard what Hao Zhong said.

"Hmm...you do have some truth in what you said."

Huangfu Qingling nodded slightly and said, "I need to think about it carefully."

Hao Zhong nodded slightly with a smile on his face, looking like a loyal minister.

"Your Majesty, make a decision soon. No one can guarantee that nothing has changed since Lin Yi came from Liangzhou City."

"I will retire first."

After he made this suggestion, he slowly left Huangfu Qingling's study.

……

On the other side, Lin Yi was thinking about his next strategy in the room.

Including Bao Bu Tong, Xu Chuan and Chen Chong all looked worried.

"We're not in dire straits, why are you so sad?"

When the atmosphere was awkward, Lin Yi mentioned something.

"Lin Yi, what's the difference between this and a desperate situation?"

"Duan Xu was injured, which means Hao Zhong must have known our intentions!"

"He is still trying to deceive Your Majesty. What should we do?"

Bao Bu Tong shook his head and said, "I have ways to solve the case, but these things are not within my authority. I can't do anything."

As he said this, he sighed slightly and looked at Lin Yi.

"Chen Chong, Xu Chuan, has your business been affected?"

Lin Yi was very calm, even a little optimistic.

“Business has not been affected, but we can’t do things at the chamber of commerce now.”

"We can still cooperate with some of our businessmen, but I'm afraid we won't be able to contact others any more."

"Um……"

Lin Yi nodded slightly, "As long as the business is not affected."

"Are you still thinking about making money?"

Bao Bu Tong was a little disappointed with Lin Yi.

"What else? All I thought about from the beginning to the end was making money."

"Why do you think I don't want to be Prime Minister?"

Lin Yi's counter-question made Bao Bu Tong understand something.

Indeed, becoming a prime minister does give you greater power, but correspondingly you have fewer legitimate ways to make money.

Or they could secretly accept bribes like Xiao Changyun did.

"Okay, how about this? I'll go to Donghai City first. I remember Ning Tian is there too, right?"

Lin Yi spoke slowly, still very calmly, "Since His Majesty doesn't want to see me, and Hao Zhong also wants to get me out of the way, it shouldn't be a problem for me to do something in Donghai City."

Then he thought about Duan Xu's arrangements.

"As for Duan Xu, find a way to get him out. You can hide in Lianjingdu temporarily. Find a way to cure him."

After saying that, Lin Yi slowly stood up and planned to go to Donghai City to take a look.

To be honest, Lin Yi was actually quite happy that someone was the prime minister.

He can do anything in his business and can always find a way. Moreover, although Hao Zhong is greedy for power, there is no big problem with him. At most, he just has a few more tricks.

After convincing himself in this way, Lin Yi set off for Donghai City two days later.

It was already summer, and on the way to Donghai City, Lin Yi could already see that his previous "efforts" had paid off.

Large tracts of farmland are now planted with a variety of vegetables and fruits.

The people are working hard for each other and everything seems to be thriving.

When he arrived at the gate of Donghai City, several soldiers stopped Lin Yi.

But this time I'm not here to prohibit entry.

They came forward with smiles on their faces and great respect.

"Master Lin, welcome back! Ever since you came, the entire Donghai City has gotten better!"

"Yeah, even if we're not greedy for money, there's still a lot of money to be made!"

……

From the few words of these officers and soldiers, Lin Yi learned that with the cooperation of the new prefect and Ning Tian, ​​Donghai City was well built.

Even officers and soldiers can become prosperous and improve their lives.

Since life is good, why bother to take money from here and there?

"Is Lord Lin going to continue the construction of the harbor this time?"

"The prefect has already spoken to the officials from the Ministry of Works, and they are now making intensive preparations for construction."

"Oh, Lord Lin, please rest here. Let's go and inform the prefect."

Having said that, the officers and soldiers sent someone to inform the prefect and Ning Tian, ​​and then they surrounded Lin Yi and took him to the newly built market.

This was originally an empty lot, but Lin Yi thought there should be a market here for vendors to make a living.

Nowadays, this place has become quite lively, and most of the products developed by Lin Yi can be bought.

Sitting at a small stall, Lin Yi and several officers and soldiers ordered a few cups of milk tea.

It was hot, so they ordered some cold food.

Under the huge umbrella, they sat and watched the hustle and bustle of the market.

"How's the situation on the farmland?"

While waiting, Lin Yi asked with concern.

"Over at the farmland, those of us who went out have consulted the nearby villagers. Don't they know more about farming than us?"

……

After a chat, Lin Yi realized that all his previous "efforts" in Donghai City were continued.

Not long after, Chen Xu and Ning Tian, ​​together with several officers and soldiers, came to Lin Yi.

"Lin Yi, you are finally here."

Ning Tian slowly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Yi. "You know that the court has been facing a lot of problems recently, right?"

"I know, but I don't want to be an official, so it has nothing to do with me."

Lin Yi waved his hand slightly and said, "I think it's better to finish the work properly in Donghai City."

"Don't you want to..."

Ning Tian said, but suddenly stopped, considering that there were other people around.

He was demoted from the Minister of Rites, so he was feeling a bit depressed.

If it weren't for Chen Xu's help, he would probably have jumped into the river and committed suicide!

"Let's go in first and talk about it later. There will always be troubles in the court."

Chen Xu nodded slightly and said, "Lin Yi, I have arranged a place for you to stay in Donghai City now."

"Thank you very much."

Lin Yi said this and bowed slightly before entering Donghai City.

Indeed, the current Donghai City has some of the flavor of the small Liangzhou City. The roads have been renovated, the houses have been repaired to a certain extent, and there are all kinds of shops and all kinds of goods.

Chen Xu arranged a house for Lin Yi, and the Minister of Works who was building the port here also lived here.

Of course, Hao Zhong knew about Lin Yi’s arrival in Donghai City the first time.

Two days later, Hao Zhong came to Huangfu Qingling's study under the pretext of making a report.

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, Lin Yi recently arrived in Donghai City."

Hao Zhong said this with a bit more nervousness on his face, "In fact, he said that he didn't want to be an official, didn't want to be the prime minister, but he kept sitting there doing things that only an official could do."

"Lin Yi is involved in both the military and these construction projects. It's hard to say how many people Lin Yi will have following him in the future."

"If Lin Yi has such thoughts... I'm afraid..."

Before he finished speaking, Huangfu Qingling frowned.

After so many days of "bewitching", Huangfu Qingling's suspicion was finally magnified infinitely.
