After Cheng Ying, Ye Jinxuan, Ye Wuhen, Chu Qiao, Liu Haoyang, and Shi Mobai had their fill of fun, they finally left the space.

Wei Hai, the prefect of Xingyao Prefecture, was quite shrewd and capable. In just one afternoon, he had already found people to work in Xingyao Prefecture!

Because the excavators, large cranes, and dump trucks that were used when digging the ditch have not been put away yet, they are still parked in the apartment's parking lot.

Wei Hai, the prefect of Xingyao Prefecture, also witnessed the digging of the ditch at that time.

Therefore, Wei Hai was very envious of those vehicles, because the construction of Xingyao Prefecture needed such vehicles. So he gritted his teeth and decided to ask the Emperor!

Let's see if we can borrow them for a while.

Wei Hai first found Eunuch Yuanfu and asked him to ask the Emperor whether he could see him.

When Grandpa Yuanfu told him he could go in, he followed Grandpa Yuanfu to the luxury apartment building.

This was Wei Hai's first time visiting a luxury apartment complex. He felt that everything here exuded sophistication and luxury compared to the ordinary apartments, where even the floors were shiny enough to reflect one's image.

But coming to this luxury apartment is like entering another paradise.

He cautiously followed Eunuch Yuanfu into the room. When they arrived in the living room, they saw the Emperor sitting on the sofa, reading a book.

After they entered, Wei Hai bowed and said, "Your humble servant Wei Hai greets Your Majesty."

But after waiting for a while, the Emperor still didn't speak, so he cautiously looked up at the Emperor's side. Finally, Eunuch Yuanfu stepped forward and whispered "Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, Prefect Wei Hai of Xingyao Prefecture has arrived."

Emperor Ye Shengtang then snapped out of his reverie and said, "Oh, you're here. Get up!"

"Wei Hai, is there something you need?"

Wei Hai cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I've come to ask if we can borrow those vehicles used for digging ditches in the parking lot."

“The construction of Xingyao Mansion is a huge project, and it is not impossible to rely on manpower alone, but if we have those vehicles, I believe the construction period can be accelerated.”

The Emperor thought about it and realized it made sense, so he said, "Those carriages were arranged by the Crown Prince and his men. Let me ask them for you!"

When Wei Hai heard that the Emperor had agreed, he beamed with joy. In his mind, the Emperor's agreement meant that the matter was settled.

But after waiting for a while, the Emperor still didn't instruct Eunuch Yuan to go and ask the Crown Prince. So he looked at the Emperor in confusion and saw that the Emperor had taken out something that looked like a long box!

The emperor touched the box with his hand, and after a while, he heard a voice coming from inside. This startled Wei Hai.

He glanced at the Emperor, then at Eunuch Yuan beside him. Not daring to disturb the Emperor, he cautiously approached Eunuch Yuan and whispered:

"Eunuch Yuan, what is that thing His Majesty is holding? Why do I hear voices coming from that direction?"

"Won't that thing harm the Emperor?"

When Yuanfu heard this, he was overjoyed and explained to him with a smile:

"Don't worry, what His Majesty is holding is called a communicator, a magical device that allows communication across great distances!"

Upon hearing that such a magical artifact existed, Wei Hai nodded and stared even more intently at the object.

He saw the emperor take the box and put his face up to it. He was even more surprised to find that the emperor seemed to be able to see the person inside!

In all his years of experience, he had never seen such a divine artifact. If he were fortunate enough to possess one in the future, that would be wonderful.

Wei Hai watched enviously as the Emperor spoke to someone on the phone.

"Okay, I'll have him find you in the parking lot in a bit!"

After finishing speaking, Emperor Ye Shengtang hung up the call and turned to Wei Hai, saying:

"Alright, I've already asked for you. Go to the parking lot and find the Crown Prince in a bit. They'll be waiting for you there."

Wei Hai quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise, thank you!"

Just as he was about to leave, the emperor called him back.

"Wait, Yuanfu, get Weihai a cell phone, teach him how to use it, and then give him your contact number so he can contact you if anything happens."

This was something Ye Shengtang had planned long ago: first, give each of his officials a mobile phone with video communication capabilities so that he could contact them remotely!

However, it can only be used for official business. If he wants to make private communications, he will have to pay for each call. As for how much he will have to pay, he still needs to think about it.

He hasn't implemented this idea yet, since he hasn't given the phone away yet; he's only given it to Wei Hai.

As for the Duke of Anguo, the several Grand Secretaries, and the Minister of Revenue, they have already each purchased a copy, so it is none of his business.

They can use it privately, and besides, they'd love to have an extra phone!

However, the decision to charge for using public cell phones unless for official business was something he came up with suddenly. As for how to implement it, he would have to discuss it with others.
