Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 198 The Best of Both Worlds
"However, you must be careful with the secret letter you send. It cannot cause any accidents, let alone fall into the hands of Chen Lin, and let Liu Mu burn the secret letter directly after reading it."

Lu Hao warned.

"Prime Minister, don't worry, I promise to complete the task."

Wu Qingyu said with great joy.

The other adults also nodded, secretly admiring Lu Hao's wisdom.

"As for Chen Lin, tell him that Liu Yi's death has nothing to do with the Grand Marshal. The Military Aircraft Department has ordered Liu Mu to withdraw from Hangu Pass, otherwise the empire will send troops to help Chen Lin retake Hangu Pass."

"Privately, send someone to send a secret letter to Chen Lin, telling him that civil strife in the imperial capital has begun, Marquis Zhongyong has been seriously injured and has not recovered, and there is no one to lead the troops. Let Chen Lin find a way to recapture Hangu Pass. Likewise, burn it after watching."

Lu Hao continued to add.

This is a way to get the best of both worlds.

They neither offended nor helped the two people, and let them bite each other. The court sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, reaping the benefits of the fishermen.

Since Chen Lin is the Grand Marshal of the Empire, it seems that he only has the Yulin Army in his hands, but his charisma is so strong that he can compete with Liu Mu.

As long as they officially start a war, their hatred will only deepen and they will eventually be unable to stop.

In fact, no matter how Lu Hao's military aircraft department responded, Chen Lin couldn't swallow this breath.

"Dugu Feng, Minister of the Ministry of War, obeys the order!"

Lu Hao slowly stood up.

"Wei Chen takes orders!"

Dugu Feng knelt on one knee and bowed to obey the order.

"The Ministry of War issued an order to notify Pingxi General Wu Cangui to stabilize the border and not to mobilize troops privately to help Jin and Shu to see if they can regain the lost city?"

"Notify General Xue Yue of the Eastern Conquest and ask him to send troops to help Murong Hong fight against the Eastern Turks, send people to infiltrate the Eastern Turks, and find ways to cause chaos within them."

"Inform Pingnan General Xuanyuan Dingyuan, commend Xuanyuan Hongzhi for defeating the Sui Empire in Liuyang City, and pay close attention to the movements of the Sui Empire..."

Lu Hao issued the order.

"Wei Chen takes orders!"

Dugu Feng responded loudly.

"Tang Yu, the Minister of Household Affairs, listens to the order!"

"The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, immediately increase military expenditures in the remaining three places, allocate 500 million taels of silver for General Zhengdong and Murong Hong, add winter clothes to keep out the cold, and ensure the security of the eastern border..."

"Allocate 500 million taels of silver to General Pingxi, and ask him to send troops to threaten the border of Xixia Kingdom, make a feint attack, and ask Xixia Kingdom to return the cities of Jin and Shu..."

"Allocate 500 million taels of silver to General Pingnan, plus an additional 100 million taels of silver, and send them to Liuyang City to Xuanyuan Hongzhi, so that he can reward the soldiers who defend the city..."

"Allocate 500 million taels of silver to the Supervision Department as the cost of additional intelligence networks..."

"Allocate 500 million taels of silver to the Ministry of Industry as the cost of expanding the workshop and manufacturing weapons..."

Lu Hao issued the second order.

"Wei Chen takes orders!"

Tang Yu responded loudly.

"Inspection Department Wu Qingyu obeys the order!"

"From now on, we will send additional manpower to infiltrate into the Eastern Turks and cooperate with General Xue Yue to provoke civil strife in the Eastern Turks..."

"Send a special envoy to Xixia to put pressure on Xixia and let them return the cities of Jin and Shu..."

"Send additional manpower, sneak into the Eastern Capital of the Sui Dynasty, and set up a second espionage network. It must be separated from the previous espionage network."

Lu Hao issued the third order.

"The subordinate takes orders!"

Wu Qingyu responded loudly.

"Du Ze, the Minister of Rites, obeys the order!"

"You are responsible for assisting Prince Rui in handling the Empress Dowager's funeral affairs, which must be solemn. In addition, you are responsible for supervising the progress of the construction of the Imperial Mausoleum..."

"Send envoys to the Sui Empire, the Eighteenth Dynasty of Western Chu, the six major tribes in the north, and the leaders of the Eastern Turkic Alliance to bring true greetings, to see their attitude towards the empire, and to find out their movements... "

"Establish an imperial examination, assisted by Wenyuan Pavilion, to select knowledgeable people from all over the world and recruit talents from all over the world..." Lu Hao issued the fourth order.

"Wei Chen takes orders!"

Du Ze responded loudly.

"Xu Liting, the Minister of Civil Affairs, listens to the order!"

"Starting from today, we will strengthen the assessment of officials from all over the country. The decree you issued before is very good, with clear rewards and punishments, and quantitative standards. The officialdom is much clearer than before."

"See the talents selected by the Ministry of Rites' scientific examination. You will assign them to local posts based on their personal abilities. Talents with both civil and military skills and resourcefulness can be directly recommended to the prime minister."

Lu Hao issued the fifth order.

"Wei Chen takes orders!"

Xu Liting responded happily.

"Alright, Lords Shangshu, you can go, Lord Peng and Lord Wu stay!"

Lu Hao waved his hand, indicating that they could go about their business.

After everyone left, Lu Hao looked at Peng Weiqiang.

"Peng Weiqiang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, obeys the order!"

"From today on, the Construction Department of the Ministry of Industry will be established in Hengyang City, Ganzhou, west of the imperial capital, to expand the steel workshop and increase steel production to more than ten times what it is now..."

"The Raw Materials Department of the Ministry of Industry was established to be responsible for the collection of petroleum and saltpeter mining, as well as the procurement of other ores..."

"Establish the Manufacturing Department of the Ministry of Industry to produce gunpowder, firearms and ammunition, and the production of new weapons such as fireball bombs and kerosene bombs..."

Lu Hao issued the last order.

"Wei Chen takes orders!"

Peng Weiqiang responded loudly.

"Master Peng, this weapon is extremely powerful, and after mass production, it must be properly kept and kept confidential."

Lu Hao nodded slightly, turned to look at Wu Qingyu, and said, "The Supervision Department must strengthen confidentiality and counter-espionage to prevent the enemy from finding out."

"Prime Minister, please rest assured that the Supervision Department will set these workshops as restricted areas and strengthen anti-espionage measures."

Wu Qingyu responded loudly.

In fact, in Lu Hao's mind, being able to guarantee combat readiness supplies for an army of [-] was considered pretty good.

After all, the gunpowder formula cannot be leaked out now. You need to mix the proportions yourself every time, which will increase your workload.

This weapon must be strictly controlled. After all, if this weapon becomes popular, it will be detrimental to oneself.

"Okay, let's go."

Lu Hao waved his hand, closed his eyes and lay on the chair to rest.

Chen Yuhuan is pregnant with her child, is it a boy or a girl?
But, how can we bring Chen Yuhuan to the imperial capital?

However, if she takes over, Duguyi will definitely harm her. What should we do?

For this purpose, Chen Yuhuan would probably be safer by Chen Lin's side.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, Concubine Yi has invited you!"

Xiao Xizi's father-in-law came to report.

This boy has now been promoted by Lu Hao as the eunuch leader, responsible for managing the eunuchs and maids in the entire palace.

"Xiao Xizi, how are you? Is it difficult to manage the harem?"

Lu Hao asked with a smile.

"It's not difficult to report back to the prime minister. Xiao Xizi will definitely try his best."

Xiao Xizi responded.

"Xiao Xizi, you have to report the truth about the current situation in the palace at any time, do you understand?"

Lu Hao suddenly explained in a serious voice and in a low voice.
