We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?
Chapter 232: Retreat for 7 days
After confirming his idea, Li Che became very excited.
Before this, although he lived in this world, he felt a sense of separation every day.
He belongs to the imperial class, but he has a "red heart", which makes him very confused.
However, from this moment on, he was no longer confused.
Getting rid of thousands of years of feudal shackles, empowering the people, and making the nation great again will become his lifelong goal.
No matter which path we take in the future, whether it is constitutional monarchy or national democracy, at least the final destination has been determined.
However, achieving this ambition requires more than just thinking about it.
It requires strength, population, and territory.
As the great man said: Power comes from the barrel of a gun!
In the next few days, Fengguo continued to operate as usual, but Li Che had completely gotten rid of his previous inaction.
Instead, he fell into a state of almost crazy inspiration.
There were no more girl group performances every day, no more dancers coming in and out of the palace, and even the daily ice cubes were no longer needed.
Li Che locked himself in the study, replacing his daily life with a constant supply of paper and ink, and simply had the maids place his three meals at the door.
No one knew what he was doing, including Qiu Bai and other personal guards.
A few days later, Huo Duanxiao and Zhuge Zhe could no longer sit still and wanted to break into the study to see what the prince was up to.
Before anyone could act, Li Che finally walked out of the room with disheveled hair.
Qiu Bai, Uncle Yang, Qiu Wen and others who had been waiting outside the door for a long time hurried forward to greet them.
Li Che looked puzzled: "Huh? What are you all doing here?"
"Your Highness," Uncle Yang said with a trembling voice, "Do you know how long you have been in the study?"
Li Che shook his head and asked in confusion: "Three days?"
"Seven days!" Uncle Yang said bitterly, "Seven whole days! If you hadn't eaten every day and spoken so calmly, I would have suspected you were possessed by some evil spirit!"
"Cough cough cough." Li Che coughed a few times feeling guilty.
In his current situation, it wouldn't be wrong to say that he was possessed by an evil spirit. After all, he was no longer the real Sixth Prince Li Che.
"Okay, I'm fine, everyone can go." Li Che looked at everyone.
Then he turned to Qiu Bai and said, "Qiu Bai."
"My subordinate is here."
"Gather everyone at the government office. I have something to announce."
"Yes."
Qiu Bai took the order and left in a hurry.
We have to tell Huo Duanxiao and others the news as soon as possible. His Highness hasn't held a court meeting for seven or eight days, and these officials are almost going crazy with worry.
"Qiu Wen."
"The servant is here."
"Go, boil some water for me." Li Che lowered his head and sniffed his body. "I need to take a bath and change my clothes."
After sitting in the study for seven days in the middle of summer, the smell on your body must not be pleasant.
Let’s not talk about taking a bath, changing clothes, washing and smelling perfume.
When Li Che walked out of the room refreshed, he felt that the sky was especially blue and the sun was especially bright.
In his hand was a thick stack of papers, covered with densely packed small characters.
This is the result of this seven-day retreat.
Under the protection of the Royal Guard Battalion, Li Che rushed to the government office.
Riding on his warhorse, Li Che felt someone's gaze coming from the side. He subconsciously looked sideways and met a worried look.
Li Che smiled slightly: "It's Yingbu, how have you been these days?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Having a place to stay and enough food and drink is perfect."
"That's good." Li Che nodded.
"Is Your Highness alright?" Ying Bu hesitated for a moment before asking, "I heard you locked yourself in your room and didn't come out for seven days and seven nights."
"Hahaha, there's nothing wrong with me." Li Che responded, "I just...thought of some things and made some plans."
Ying Bu nodded half-comprehendingly: "Your Highness, please take care of your health and don't overwork yourself."
Li Che shook his head and said calmly: "If I get a little tired, the people will be able to relax a little."
Ying Bu looked at Li Che with wide eyes. He never expected him to answer like that.
At this time, they had already arrived at the government office. Seeing Li Che dismount from his horse, Ying Bu hurriedly followed.
Originally, the work of personal guards was done by Hu Qiang and Qiu Bai, but Qiu Bai's fighting power was not enough, so most of the time Hu Qiang had to rely on himself.
It was too tiring to be on duty alone, and Li Che felt sorry for him. Fortunately, Ying Bu, a top master, joined and could take over Hu Qiang's shift.
On weekdays, Ying Bu would follow Huo Duanxiao to learn martial arts, and when he needed to change shifts, he would come to Li Che.
The government office was now full of officials, almost all officials from various departments had arrived, even Chen Gui had come out from the Gunpowder Bureau.
The moment they saw Li Che, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Che is the soul of Fengguo.
Feng State seemed to be at its peak and thriving, but in fact, it was all based on the fact that Li Che was the King of Feng.
Once something happens to Li Che, the entire Feng Kingdom will collapse in an instant.
"Why are you all so nervous?" Li Che looked at everyone with a smile and joked, "Are you worried about me day and night?"
"That's right," Zhuge Zhe replied seriously. "I don't know what happened to Your Highness, but Your Highness is the ruler of Feng State. Even if you have something to say, you should have told us in advance."
"Otherwise, our worries are minor. If Fengguo becomes unstable and causes chaos, that would be a major event."
Li Che nodded, a look of shame on his face: "Ziyuan is right, it was my negligence."
"However...this time, my hard thinking has not been without results."
Li Che changed the subject and looked at everyone in the hall.
"As for the future development of Feng State, this king has always been undecided, but this time he has a direction."
There was no need for Wang Yongnian to come out and enforce discipline. Everyone instantly quieted down and listened carefully to what Li Che said.
"Feng State is located outside the Great Wall, with vast territory and sparse population. A small population cannot control the vast territory."
"Now, we have controlled most of the areas outside the Great Wall, but only Chaoyang, Beizhen, and Liaoyang are left."
"For this reason, I have decided to implement the 'Production and Construction Corps' strategy!"
"With the goal of consolidating border defense, developing the economy, and resettling people, the Corps will be used as a semi-militarized organization integrating workers, farmers, soldiers, scholars, and businessmen to build and develop the wild areas of Feng State!"
"Using the Corps as a starting point, let Fengguo flourish everywhere!"
